Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 361 Shadow
When the battle situation changed, Kiel looked at Qin Xia.

Qin Xia, who was staring at the shadow, sensed the sight of the Chapter Leader and said in the communication channel: "Don't look at me, I'm just a think tank."

Seeing that Qin Xia did not give any orders, Kiel issued the combat orders himself.

Fifteen Lancers advanced quickly at the command of the Chapter Master.

The tanks of the armored company also accelerated.

The armored forces gradually moved deeper into the shadows.

The 1st Company led by Kahn also stepped into the shadows following the armored forces.

Qin Xia jumped up, jumped onto the top of a Lancer, and entered the shadows before everyone else.

At the moment of penetrating the shadow, Qin Xia saw the substance that made up the shadow flowing on the armor like mucus at the moment he broke through the shadow, and then flowed backwards.

Everyone in the shadows has a feeling of uneasiness, which is caused by the change in environment.

The propagation of sound, the change in vision, and the visual experience of a ghost town like in a horror movie, all these combined together make people feel uneasy.

None of the firepower that the Fire Knight launched at the large fortifications in the distance in the shadows hit the target. It was obvious that the shadows had the same effect as a shield device.

But this is obviously just a side effect.

In the gloomy environment, some slave armies composed of strange alien races approached the regiment at some point in time. Wearing simple protective armor and holding simple weapons such as swords and pistols, they launched an attack on the regiment with their numerous numbers.

The tanks and knight mechas simply ignored the alien slaves, either running over them or jumping over them and heading straight for the fortifications in the distance.

It was the Space Marines who engaged the alien slaves.

Kahn led the First Company, all equipped with Terminator armor, forward. Under Kiel's order, the Terminators slowed down, while the Space Marines from other companies fought against the slave army before the Terminators.

It was more of a massacre than a battle.

The weapons of the alien slaves were completely incapable of causing any harm to the Astartes, including those slaves carrying explosives on their backs. They were slow in movement and weak in strength, and a single Space Marine could mow down a large area of ​​enemies like a farmer mowing grass in a field.

Slaves who tried to kill the Space Marines by self-detonating would be kicked away by the Space Marines because of their slow steps when detonating the explosives, and would fall into a large number of alien slaves who were also slaves, killing many of them including themselves.

The slaves of various races controlled by the ruling race among the Randan aliens were ignorant and fearless. They followed the process of being approached and killed like zombies, as if they were born to be slaughtered by the enemy.

Although the number of slaves was endless, they were unable to even slow down the advance of the Space Marines.

Slave armies still emerged from all directions, rushing towards the Space Marines and being killed.

It seemed as if it was to highlight the absolute control of the ruling race over the slave race in the Randan Alien Alliance, and how evil and disgusting the inhuman species that drove this slave army were.

But things soon changed.

A Space Marine who was too far forward rushed forward faster than a tank, killing the slave army with a chainsaw axe in hand, but suddenly his body froze, and he fell to the ground and died after something pierced his chest. In the end, his corpse twisted strangely and was gradually separated from the world.

It was like the body was taken away from this world.

No one saw what pierced him, but it was obvious that an enemy had killed him.

Qin Xia recalled that in the previous battle on the hangar deck No. 9 of the Indomitable Truth, there was an invisible assassin alien.

At that time, he didn't even sense the existence of that invisible alien, and the helmet that Perturabo made for him had amazing detection capabilities, but it didn't detect the existence of that invisible alien. The invisibility ability of that alien assassin seemed to transcend the warp and reality, and their existence could not be detected by psychic or physical means.

Kiel once again issued orders on the communication channel.

The Space Marines immediately became cautious.

Kahn, wearing the Terminator Armor, moved forward slowly, breaking away from the First Company's formation alone, holding the chainsaw axe in both hands and shutting down the Terminator Armor's defensive force field.

After taking a few steps forward, Kahn turned his head slightly to the right, and quickly turned around and chopped with an axe.

Blood splattered on the Terminator armor, and the dead alien assassin fell to the ground with a thud and gradually appeared.

Qin Xia looked over and found that it was exactly the same as the alien assassin killed by Luther with swordsmanship on the hangar deck.

After coming up with an idea, Qin Xia jumped off the knight mecha and landed among the slave army.

The passive prophetic ability was suddenly activated. Qin Xia's head quickly turned slightly to the left, but his body did not move. A white light was released from his body, and all the slave troops around him turned into pieces of meat flying into the air.

But he did not kill all the enemies. A total of six alien assassins gradually appeared, their bone-spur-shaped hands all stayed less than one centimeter away from Qin Xia's vital points, maintaining the posture of leaping out of the air, and hovering half a meter above the ground.

As soon as Qin Xia thought about it, all the alien assassins were pressed to the ground. Five of them were directly crushed by the invisible gravity. Only one landed alive and then quickly disappeared.

Qin Xia deliberately let an alien go and jumped up and landed around Kahn and the others. When Kahn and Kil approached him at the same time to protect him, he controlled the helmet to replay the detection results of the appearance and disappearance of those alien assassins.

After reviewing the replays over and over again, Qin Xia discovered that when those alien assassins appeared, the detection device built into the helmet would detect abnormal gravity changes in the surrounding environment.

The visual curves used to represent gravity "sink" before the alien appears and disappears, as if something is about to break out of reality.

Qin Xia instantly teleported an alien corpse in front of him, and the alien corpse began to "flow backwards", replaying the moment when its body was crushed. Its bones, organs, and biological structure were all completely displayed in front of Qin Xia.

This creature is streamlined and has no biological structures similar to ears, nose, mouth, and eyes. Even the Sloss maggot people have two holes on their heads as eyes, but it does not have them.

In addition, the alien assassin's biological structure has been fully weaponized.

After some observation, Qin Xia reminded everyone and transmitted the detection display in his helmet to everyone's tactical eyepieces: "This is a biological weapon that can freely enter and exit our dimension. Pay attention to the changes in the gravity curve. When they are about to appear, the gravity curve will sink."

What Qin Xia said was just an inference, an inference based on experience and knowledge.

The real universe has various dimensions and various realities independent of the universe.

Qin Xia was also unable to determine whether this biological weapon could enter and exit the current dimension, or whether their race could go to another reality... But the Space Marines did not need to get to the bottom of such things, they just knew how to deal with these aliens.

The Space Marines continued to move forward, keeping an eye on the changes in the gravity curve.

As Qin Xia said, gravity will be abnormal before the alien assassins appear, and then you just need to wait for them to appear and then shoot or axe them.

The alien assassin, who had only achieved one victory, disappeared completely after being hacked to death by several Space Marines and never appeared again.

"I never thought there were such creatures among the Randan aliens, able to freely enter and exit dimensions..." Kiel sighed to Qin Xia in the private communication channel, "I don't know how the First Legion fought them before."

Qin Xia was not surprised: "This kind of alien assassin, and the Sloth alien that can't be killed even with heavy weapons, which one is not outrageous? If it were any other alien, the First Legion would have been wiped out long ago. How could they fight the entire empire three times?"

Kiel thought about it and realized that it was true. Then he felt that it was a good thing that Qin Xia was here, otherwise who knows how many people would have died in this battle.

After all, the World Eaters are also fighting for the First Legion, and it doesn't look like Lion's Primarch is going to be generous enough to help out after the war. It would be fine if the World Eaters don't make a profit, but they can't lose money.

Kil thought so, but did not tell Qin Xia directly in the private channel. He was afraid that Qin Xia would scold him for ignoring the overall situation and having no sense of honor after knowing it.

But Qin Xia thought so too.

He planned to personally participate in all the upcoming battles, and supervise Kiel to prevent him from making decisions that would cause the World Eaters to sacrifice too many people... But it was difficult to talk directly to a righteous man like Kiel who came from a military noble family...

The roar of the gunner's shot smashing the fortifications in the distance made Kiel and Qin Xia no longer think about anything other than fighting.

The slave army still emerged from all directions as if teleported out, but it was no longer just slaves. Mixed among them were some huge and strong alien warriors wearing power armor, shrouded in black energy.

These alien warriors are the powerful elite among the ruling race of the Randan Alien Alliance.

Instead of letting the First Company deal with the slaves, Kiel immediately ordered the First Company to deal with Randan's elite warriors.

Kahn led the Terminators towards Randan's elite warriors, and the two sides soon engaged in battle.

As the champion company in the champion regiment, the First Company, with all its members equipped with Terminator armor, was unstoppable. The Randan alien warriors were equipped with energy shields, and the Terminator armor of the First Company's warriors also had a defensive force field. The two sides briefly exchanged fire, and then engaged in close combat.

The war cries drowned out the incomprehensible screams of the aliens.

Kahn still maintained the style of the assault company. He led the way with a battle axe and killed a Randan elite. Amid the splattering hot black blood, he roared: "For Angron!"

Cries of "For Angron" were heard one after another.

Qin Xia listened and suddenly realized something.

The Sons of Angron longed to be close to the Primarch, and were willing to do so at all costs. If nothing changed, the World Eaters would hammer the Butcher's Nail into their own heads just to be close to the Primarch, to experience his pain, and thus allow the Primarch and his sons to understand and be close to each other.

As more Nuceria warriors joined the Legion, the original Terran warriors of the Legion began to actively adapt to Nuceria culture in order to be closer to the Primarch on a spiritual level.

Therefore, the culture of calling people by their first names to show closeness and respect in Nuceria, a culture without culture that belonged to the enslaved people during the Nuceria slave era, was also accepted by the Space Marines as a favorite.

But Qin Xia didn't think it mattered. Angron grew up in Nukeria anyway, and he liked people to call him Angron directly.
