Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 380 Ran Dan Ending
……

"The 12th Legion played a great role in this war."

On the command deck of the Indomitable Truth.

Ryan stood beside the tactical table, looking down at the information displayed on it, and spoke without raising his head.

In front of him were Qin Xia and Luther.

Qin Xia had just come down from the Emperor's battle carrier and was invited to the Indomitable Truth.

"Tell this guy the details of the gift prepared by the First Legion." Ryan commanded Luther like he was commanding a minion.

Luther walked up to Qin Xia with a list and handed it to him with both hands.

Qin Xia looked at the list.

Luther explained some important items on the list: "A psychic bomb, which you brought back earlier. And then there are Terminator tactical dreadnoughts, enough to arm 5,000 people, all kinds of models."

Qin Xia saw some military supplies on the list.

Bolt guns, power armor, and so on.

"Thank you." Qin Xia took the list.

Luther continued, "The Lion King wants to express some apologies to his brother through you. The previous suspicion was indeed inappropriate. I hope this incident will not become a rift between the two Primarch brothers."

After that, Luther looked at Ryan.

Ryan acted as if Qin Xia had already left. He didn't raise his head or say a word.

Luther rolled his eyes at Ryan in annoyance, then gave Qin Xia a look that said "you know what I mean".

Qin Xia nodded helplessly.

The meeting ended in silence.

Then the command deck gate opened and two people walked in.

Qin Xia first saw the captain of the White Knight, and then followed by a tall man in armor, like a Space Marine.

Like a warrior.

However, the armor on this warrior is not the one used by Space Marines, but a kind of power armor with a strong plate armor style.

It's also decorated with a lot of Caliban emblems and stuff.

When the captain and the soldier saw Qin Xia was also present, they should, according to etiquette, salute the person they were currently loyal to first.

They did so. Under Ryan's somewhat dissatisfied gaze, the captain led the soldiers to salute Qin Xia first, and then saluted Ryan.

Qin Xia was not surprised that the captain of the White Knight appeared here. After all, this captain had served in the First Legion before he was sent to the Twelfth Legion along with the White Knight.

When saluting, the warrior, who was as tall as a Space Marine, took off his helmet and held it in his hands according to etiquette.

Only then did Qin Xia recognize that this person was the captain's wife.

No ordinary person on the ship could leave as deep an impression on Qin Xia as the captain's wife and brother-in-law.

Because the captain's wife and his brother are both tall, taller than the average height of the transformed Space Marines.

"Sir." The captain and his wife saluted at the same time, and then saluted Ryan.

Qin Xia gently poked Luther: "What's going on?"

"His wife was once a member of the Knights of Caliban. She fought alongside the Primarch to destroy the beasts." Luther replied in a low voice, "She killed thirteen beasts with her own hands. She has thirteen specimens of beast heads hidden in her home."

"Oh my god." Qin Xia was shocked.

He suddenly remembered a legend on the White Knight: it was said that the captain's wife had a treasure house full of horrible things, and ordinary people would be scared to death if they went in.

Many waiters also refused to serve the captain's wife...Originally they couldn't refuse, but after Angron returned to the Legion, the White Knight no longer had slaves, so they could refuse.

Qin Xia thought that this might have something to do with witchcraft or something, and was just about to find time to solve it. But after hearing what Luther said, he realized that it was a specimen made of a giant beast's skull, used to show off martial arts.

"But what about the two of them..." Qin Xia asked Luther in a low voice.

"Your captain used to be a servant of the Knights," Luther said. "He used to be a servant of the Primarch, but then, somehow, he was taken away by his knight wife, and the two of them got together."

"So he is a elder of the Knights of Caliban? But this captain once told others in front of me that he came from an unknown world, was an ordinary person, and then climbed up to the position of captain step by step." Qin Xia said.

Luther smiled and said, "When he was in the Knights, his wife always said to him that he was timid except for his courage, and you should just treat his words as fart."

The captain quietly turned his head and frowned at Luther, then gave Qin Xia an awkward smile.

Luther looked at the captain with a gloating look.

Qin Xia could see that the relationship between this captain and Luther was not just that of a servant and the former leader of the Knights Templar.

"But he is indeed very capable," Luther said. "He is a talent among talents."

"How does life in the 12th Legion compare to that in the 1st Legion?" Ryan asked, looking at the captain's wife.

"Very well." replied the captain's wife.

Ryan's stern face showed a smile: "It's all right, Angelica. I regret sending you and your husband away in a fit of rage, but there is no way. I can't take you back."

"My husband violated the Legion's rules."

“Yes… yes.”

Ryan then chatted with the knights who had fought side by side with him, talked about some past events, and then talked about what happened after the couple joined the 12th Legion.

Finally, Qin Xia was mentioned.

"It's not easy to serve such a guy," Ryan said. "It's obviously more difficult than fighting and keeping the warship running normally."

"It's not easy indeed." Qin Xia interrupted, "But in my opinion, their difficulties pale in comparison to Luther's."

The captain subconsciously looked at Luther: "Indeed."

Feeling Ryan's gaze, the captain lowered his head, closed his mouth and said no more.

Ryan looked at Luther again, as if asking: Is it that difficult?
Luther remained silent.

Ryan waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

Qin Xia and the two people who were called by Ryan to reminisce went to the hangar deck, and Luther saw them off all the way.

After the captain and his wife boarded the transport plane, Luther suddenly called Qin Xia.

"Although the First Legion has given a gift, it is a gift from the Legion." Luther took off a Caliban Knight Medal from his waist. "I don't have anything useful on hand, except for one thing that I cherish the most..."

Luther walked towards Qin Xia, held the knight's medal in his hand and stared at it for a few seconds before handing it over. Then he frowned and handed it over: "This is what I got when I became the Lord of the Knights Templar. It looks like a medal, but in fact it is more like a token. It has been passed down among every generation of managers of the Knights Templar to this day." Qin Xia stretched out his hands to take the medal and hung it around his waist.

Then he took off a thing from his waist that looked like a metal sphere covered with beautiful patterns and handed it to Luther: "This is a personal defense device that can attach energy plating to your armor to resist attacks."

Luther took the sphere with both hands and hung it around his waist.

"This is my trophy, from the first slave owner I killed." Qin Xia said, "At that time, there was a ruler in Nukeria named Mad King Tark. He had an uncle. I killed his uncle and picked up this thing from his uncle's body."

Qin Xia paused and continued.

“It represents the beginning of the Nuceria Rebellion’s war cause and means a lot to me.”

Luther smiled and nodded: "Thank you."

Both of them realized that, to each other, the other was already a friend.

This friendship progressed so quickly that they couldn't tell where it began.

Luther thought that it might be that Qin Xia and he had the same early experience, and had the same experience in matters related to the Primarch, but Lion and Angron were different...

In Qin Xia, Luther saw what he wanted to be.

"Goodbye." Qin Xia took the spear from his back, held the spear with both hands, and raised the spear tip above his head.

Just like Luther performing the chivalric salute with his knight's sword, this is Caliban's etiquette.

Luther drew his sword, thrust it vertically toward the ground, and struck the floor several times with the blade.

This is the gladiator etiquette of Nuceria.

Qin Xia smiled and nodded, then turned and boarded the transport plane.

Luther stood on the hangar deck, looking up at the gradually rising air and flying out of the energy membrane that separated the void and the hangar.

……

After Qin Xia returned to the White Knight, Angron also prepared to return to the Steadfast Resolve from the Bladestorm.

All the Primarchs except Lion are here.

Angron said goodbye to each of them in turn.

Jaghatai started first, but he and Angron said nothing, just shook hands.

Both of them knew that each other understood everything and there was no need to say anything.

Then there was Corax.

“After what we have experienced during the Great Crusade, I am convinced that you were right to dissuade me from leaving our home planet and its neighboring planets to Imperial care.” Corax embraced Angron. “Thank you, brother.”

"The most important thing is not my reminder, but that you really care about your homeland." Angron nodded with a smile.

Angron walked up to Leman Russ again. "Russ, I know you are a truly civilized man."

"I don't care about that." Leman Russ shook his head, "But thank you for your evaluation."

Angron nodded.

With one last look at his brothers, Angron turned and walked out of the command deck.

After returning to the command deck of the Resolute Resolve, the XII Legion fleet began to sail towards Nuceria.

Qin Xia was teleported over from the White Knight at this time.

"Kahn is not dead, he is just in a coma." This was the first sentence Qin Xia said.

Angron cared about Kahn a lot, but the first thing he wanted to ask was not Kahn's affairs: "Did Lion give you trouble again?"

"No." Qin Xia shook his head. "Ryan is not that bad. He is just a little bit stupid."

Qin Xia thought again, if Ryan was really a lion, he would be a very silly kind of lion, the kind of lion that would be very close to humans if given a piece of meat or if he was touched to feel comfortable.

This can be seen from the fact that during the Horus Heresy, Lion was tricked by Perturabo into giving him a general cannon.

The portholes were closed and the fleet began to enter the warp.

Qin Xia stood beside Angron, checking some of the information sent and summarized by astropaths in the star region.

A new think tank member is particularly good at interpreting astropathic information, so he is responsible for receiving and summarizing astropathic information when the fleet is out.

"The Mechanicus has recently launched a series of infiltration operations against several planets," Angron said. "As Kelborhar told Quadrant before, the Mechanicus has been coveting our ancient relics."

"But such a large-scale infiltration is unprecedented." Qin Xia looked at the messages. Eight out of ten were reports of captured Mechanicus infiltrators.

These are the ones who were caught, and there are probably many more who were not caught.

Qin Xia then recounted his conversation with Malcador on the Emperor's mothership.

Angron immediately realized the consequences of this: "The Empire will target Nuceria. We will face pressure from the Empire next."

"Yes." Qin Xia nodded. "I tried to play dumb and hint to Malcador to solve this problem in another way, but Malcador ignored me... We have to be prepared. This old guy is really not easy to deal with."

"We just ended a war that had nothing to do with us." Captain Lothalazarin came over, indignant, "But we not only have to face the enemy, but also our own people. Even though we fight for the Empire, the Empire does not trust us."

"We are not fighting for the Empire." Angron looked at Salin. "The World Eaters and several other legions have wiped out the Randan. The people here will never be slaughtered by the Randan xenomorphs again. The revenge of tens of billions of humans slaughtered by the xenomorphs has also been avenged. From now on, thousands and tens of thousands of years from now, the ordinary people here will be able to live a stable life."

“And when humans have resolved external threats, they can finally focus on the internal situation.”

"All that we have done for the survival of the entire race will be properly judged in the eyes of the world, and then they will make the right choice."

Hearing what the Primarch said, Saleen nodded silently.

Qin Xia stared at the messages, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke: "We need to obtain some intelligence, and we need to obtain it through informal orders, that is, without using Nukeriya's intelligence department."

“The Society for the Study of Human History?” Angron asked.

Qin Xia nodded: "Theseus will be in charge of this matter."

Hearing the name Theseus, Angron immediately recalled the girl.

She grew up with Yochula's younger brother Yochulaka, and was still a child when she first entered the arena.

But she was very brave. When facing the beastmen who were hit by the Butcher's Nails, she dared to fight with them.

Theseus neither stayed on the planet Nuceria nor joined the regular forces of the Legion as a commander. Instead, she chose to become an agent.

"I will take care of this matter." Qin Xia turned around and teleported back to the White Knight.
