Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 357 The Most Trusted Person
The ambush was over half an hour ago.

The Sloss Aliens were still repeating the process of being dispersed and reunited, but even so, the Dark Angels still held their ground behind the bunkers near the Sloss Aliens, pointing all kinds of light and heavy weapons at the Sloss Aliens.

Once the Sloss alien breaks out of the cycle, they will cooperate with the psykers present, using their weapons to delay the alien's movements before the psykers can confine it again.

However, in Qin Xia's opinion, the Dark Angels were a bit too cautious, but it was understandable.

It is estimated that this maggot man has caused a lot of trouble to the Dark Angels, or there are many "horror stories" among the Dark Angels with it as the protagonist.

Heavy footsteps were heard.

The Lion King walked out of the corridor leading to the hangar deck with his head held high and took a look at the alien corpses scattered all over the ground and the gunboat that carried the aliens.

The gunboat was easily destroyed by the Space Marines, and several penetrating blast wounds on its hull showed that it was killed by missiles.

The trouble caused by a gunboat is not as great as that caused by the Sloss alien. Ryan sighed in his heart at the power of this alien while slowly approaching the alien.

The Sloss Alien was still in a loop, but its eyes could look at Ryan - there were two obvious holes on its head made of maggots, which were its eyes.

Ryan looked at the hole aimed at him, stepped forward fearlessly, and leaned over to observe the aliens that were constantly breaking up and reuniting.

"It has been bound by a psychic spell." Luther stood beside the corpse of the alien assassin that he had just killed with his exquisite swordsmanship. "It was Qin Xia, the guide of the Lord of the 12th Legion, who released the psychic spell to bind it. Otherwise, considering the sudden appearance of the psychic alien, we would not only fail to catch it, but also suffer huge casualties."

Yesugei, who was standing by, held his helmet and bowed to Ryan to confirm Luther's statement.

He was also a psychic, but he was delayed by the psychic alien that suddenly appeared on the hangar deck. The incident happened suddenly. If he had not risked his psychic power getting out of control and had not spared some energy to call Qin Xia, the result would have been as Luther said.

Qin Xia just looked at Ryan in silence, having guessed why Luther was speaking at this time.

One is that Luther took credit for himself.

Second, Luther used the method of asking the Lion King for credit for himself to once again emphasize Ryan's dominant position in this joint operation, and he also wanted Ryan to emphasize his dominant position in the joint operation by commending the soldiers of other legions.

Others might not think so much, but Luther is not someone else, nor an ordinary person. He is the Lion King's external emotional intelligence, human perception, and interpersonal communication processor.

"..." Ryan remained silent, without even looking at Luther.

Between agreeing and refusing, Ryan's choice was to ignore it.

He had no opinion about Luther, but was concentrating on observing the Sloss Alien in front of him. The Primarch's super brain was spinning rapidly, combining every piece of information about the Sloss Alien that he had previously known to analyze the Sloss Alien in front of him, and thinking about what kind of thing to use to deal with this alien.

Ryan's silence made Luther's situation awkward at this moment.

At least it seemed quite embarrassing to outsiders, but Luther himself didn't think there was anything wrong.

"Someone will study it." Ryan's eyes moved away from the alien, glanced at everyone present, and finally settled on Luther, "You will be responsible for taking care of it."

Luther bowed and accepted the order.

The Space Marines present were not surprised by the Lion King's orders, and they also felt reassured that Luther was taking care of such a dangerous alien.

Qin Xia was not surprised either.

The only person who was surprised was Yesugei.

Yesugei, who was usually calm and composed, was extremely surprised. He did not understand the Lion King's decision at all.

A creature as terrifying and dangerous as the Sloth Alien should be entrusted to an absolutely reliable and trustworthy person for care. Luther does not seem to be so liked and trusted by the Lion King, but at this time the responsibility of care is given to Luther.

Yesugei was not Angron and could not sense what Ryan was thinking.

Ryan considered the candidate for looking after the Sloss alien and originally wanted to let Qin Xia do it, but after all, he had only met Qin Xia a few times and didn't know Qin Xia's character and whether he was steady in doing things.

The Sloss alien is so dangerous, it is better to let the person you trust most look after it.

So Ryan ordered Luther to take care of the Sloth alien.

"But if it weren't for Qin Xia from the 12th Legion, we would never have been able to capture it alive so easily." Luther spoke again.

"I know." Lion looked at Luther in confusion, "But he is from the 12th Legion, and Angron is his Primarch and adopted son. What do you want me to do? A verbal reward? What's the point? A substantial reward? I'm not Angron, how can I reward him?"

Luther lowered his head and sighed silently.

"The most I can do is tell my brothers that my achievements will be recorded in the 12th Legion, and then..."

Ryan was about to continue speaking when Luther raised his hand to interrupt him unhappily: "Alright, alright, I know, I know, stop talking."

Ryan was not angry when his speech was interrupted. He just looked at Luther with a frown.

The other Space Marines thought that this was only Luther. If anyone else dared to have such an attitude, they would have been blown away long ago.

After Luther fell silent, Ryan turned around and left the hangar deck along the corridor he came from to plan a specific battle plan for entering the Randan galaxy.

The Space Marines remained on the hangar deck.

"Seal this place off."

Luther commanded the Space Marines.

"From today on, the deck of Hangar Nine is off-limits. No one is allowed to approach here."

"Make up your own guard rotation plan to ensure that there is always someone watching this damn alien."

"I will order others to bring you some alarms in a while. Those who are responsible for guarding the aliens should stop holding the explosive gun. If you find something wrong, sound the alarm immediately. It is better than anything else to let the think tank rush here as soon as possible."

The Space Marines listened to Luther as if he were listening to the Lion.

Qin Xia, who was observing from the side, thought that these people were not necessarily obedient because of Luther's amazing ability, but more likely because they were born on Caliban rather than Terra.

After the return of the Primarch of the First Legion and the renaming of the Legion to the Dark Angels, the First Legion's recruiting ground became Caliban. As Luther was a well-known figure on Caliban, it was not surprising that the Calibanese Space Marines listened to him.

"Sorry." After arranging the guards, Luther turned and came to Qin Xia.

"I understand." Qin Xia nodded, "I understand."

Luther nodded helplessly, then walked to Yesugei, leaned his hands on the sword, lowered his shoulders, bowed his head, and mourned in silence with the knightly etiquette of Caliban: "The warrior you brought with you has died... This is caused by the mistake of the First Legion. The First Legion will hold a ceremony to bury this warrior of the Fifth Legion."

Yesugei looked aside.

The guards he brought with him lay on the stretchers that the Dark Angels used to carry corpses, their eyeballs "bleeding" from their helmets.

"His soul has embarked on the journey to heaven, and his body will be sent back to Chogoris to be buried in his homeland." Yesugei slowly walked to the side of the warrior who had just been killed by the Sloss alien with a biochemical beam, and gently pressed the semi-liquid eyeball back into the helmet with his fingers.

"You escort this body to the Bladestorm." Luther ordered the soldiers carrying the stretcher.

"I will do it myself." Yesugei stretched out his hands, picked up the body from the stretcher, then slowly turned around and left through the corridor where Ryan had left the deck before.

Luther settled all matters on the scene, and then left the hangar deck with Qin Xia.

When passing by a porthole, Qin Xia stopped and looked outside. The Ran Dan fleet had been completely defeated.

All ships were going through the inspection process, passing by the forge engines and then by the Steadfast Resolve.

Qin Xia closed his eyes, then opened them again. When his eyes glowed with psychic light, he saw that some crew members on ships were being cleaned out by the Dark Angels. Apparently, those ships passed the inspection of the casting engines because there were no Sloss aliens inside, but failed Angron's inspection.

The battleships that had completed the inspection began to head towards Mandeville Point.

It is estimated that at the end of the next journey, we will arrive at the Randan galaxy.

"Lion is the most talented and powerful of all the genius military strategists I have ever seen." Luther suddenly spoke, "He used his own abilities and the sacrifices of the soldiers of the First Legion to defeat the main fleet of Randan and destroy Randan's war celestial bodies in the first two Randan wars."

Qin Xia retracted his gaze and looked at Luther: "But the Primarchs also have their own shortcomings, you want to say that, right."

Luther nodded.

"Lian had an argument with the leader of the 12th Legion at the combat meeting before, and just now he ignored your contribution, but he definitely doesn't hate you. After the first meeting between the First Legion and the 12th Legion, Ryan told me that he liked his 12th brother very much because this brother respected him very much."

"Ryan doesn't read people's minds. There are some things he doesn't think through as thoroughly as I do."

As he spoke, Luther leaned against the porthole and recalled.

Qin Xia agreed with what Luther said.

Ryan was a genius in warfare. Although Angron didn't want to admit it, no matter how much he learned about war, he could never be as good as his brother.

But Ryan is stupid in other aspects, such as interpersonal communication. It is the kind of stupidity that is pure, fair, helpless and clear without any bad intentions.

"How do you know the Lord of the First Legion?" Qin Xia leaned against Luther and asked knowingly, just to get closer to him. "I found that the relationship between you two seems to be very special."

Luther looked up at the dark metal plate above the corridor.

The dark metal plate seemed to gradually transform into the dark jungle.

"There are giant beasts on Caliban. The beasts hurt the people, and knights emerged from the people. The knights fought against the beasts and defended the people. I am the leader of a knight order."

"One day, when I was looking for giant beasts, I saw a special beast. It was not that big, but it was dirty, fierce, and full of blood."

"Then……"

Luther said as he recalled.

Then the golden-haired monster confronted the Knights.

Luther ordered everyone not to attack, then took a closer look and realized that this was not a monster but a human.

"Ryan, you're not going to hurt me, right?"

Luther somehow gave the person in front of him a name, a name he himself didn't know the reason for.

At this time, accompanied by a question that would not be answered, the name that was spoken subconsciously was the origin of the name of the Primarch, Lion.

After seeing that the dirty, bloody man in front of him did not move, Luther slowly walked forward and finally came in front of the man he named Ryan. He slowly stretched out his hands, lifted the muddy blond hair that covered Ryan's face, and saw a face covered in blood, with fierce and alert eyes, but slightly fearful due to injury.

The face of a handsome young boy.

Ryan subconsciously took a step back, his hostile and vigilant eyes swept over all the knights and finally fell on Luther.

The knights have raised their weapons and will kill Ryan if he dares to make the next move.

But Ryan did not step back, nor did he take a step forward to slit Luther's throat.

Luther smiled, turned around and said to the knights.

"Look! Was I right? He is not a beast, but a man!"

"I told my knights so."

"Then I brought him out of the jungle of Caliban, out of the green hell where giant beasts roamed, and back to the civilized world. I taught him Caliban's chivalry culture, I taught him swordsmanship, and I raised him."

After saying that, Luther showed a warm smile on his face as he recalled the experience of Ryan's growth.

Qin Xia shrugged: "At that time, you certainly didn't expect that what the Lord of the First Legion lacked was not combat training, but knowledge of how to deal with people."

“Hahaha!” Luther laughed. “Yes, yes. If I had known that this brat would order me around in the future, and that in a few years I would not obey him and could not beat him, I would have used the scabbard to beat his ass while he was still young…”

Luther smiled and suddenly calmed down.

"But to be honest, I think it's also my fault that Ryan's personality has become like this."

“I’m not a gentle person.”

"I once had a family. When I was not yet a knight, I had a wife and a daughter. They... they died in the mouth of the beast. If I had... if..."

"Anyway, if I hadn't lost them, Ryan would have had another mother and a sister."

"Ryan should have learned gentleness and sensibility from them, and he wouldn't be like this now."

After hearing what Luther said, Qin Xia thought for a moment but said nothing and fell silent.

A loud burp sounded throughout the corridor. Not far away, two officers of the Space Wolves Legion walked out from a fork in the road. When they saw Luther, they immediately came over.

"Let's go to our Sixth Legion's base and have a drink together!"

The two men stepped forward and tried to pull Luther away.

Luther smiled and agreed to them, then turned to look at Qin Xia, just like Qin Xia had pulled him to fight on the hangar deck before, and said, "Together?"

Qin Xia smiled and shook his head: "I am not lucky enough to enjoy the fine wine and delicacies of the Sixth Legion."

"You of the Twelfth Legion are not some elegant nobles who drink wine."

In the end, Luther was dragged to the Space Wolves base by two officers.

Qin Xia looked at Luther's back and recalled that when they gathered in the hangar before, Luther went to the elite of the Space Wolves' Sixth Legion and was despised by one of these two people. But now they have become friends who want to drink together.

Qin Xia didn't find this surprising at all, because Luther had this unique ability. As far as he knew, when Ryan on Caliban wanted to eliminate all the behemoths, he needed to unite with other knights. It was Luther who helped Ryan lobby and recruit people everywhere. In the end, he relied on his ability to get along with people to make 99% of the knights agree with Ryan's idea and form a knight coalition.

This is equivalent to using eloquence and personal charm to help Caliban avoid a civil war caused by conflicts in the Knights' ideologies and old grudges, allowing Lion to unify Caliban on the surface without having to use war to conquer.

can only say……

"The Caliban Succubus lives up to its reputation." Qin Xia sighed.
