Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 396: Who is Cyjanus?

"Qinxia," Chagatai said. "Seyjanus."

"Cyjanus," said Leman Russ. "My legion will also abstain."

Angron sensed what Leman Russ was thinking at this moment.

The Wolf King knew very well that the first Astartes representative would never be born in the Sixth Legion because he had chosen to oppose Angron in the first Vision Conference. Since it was impossible for anyone to be elected in the Sixth Legion, he might as well not propose it.

Angron felt that Leman Russ was more lucid than the Lion.

The seventh Primarch, Rogal Dorn, is not here.

The eighth Primarch Curze spoke up: "Sevatar, Shen, these two are from my legion. If someone really supports their election, then choose one of them... Anyway, one of them must stay with me."

“If I were to choose from among my legions, I could name hundreds, but I would not name any of them,” Sanguinius said. “Cyjanus.”

Angron sensed that Sanguinius was worried about something.

The angels were afraid that if their offspring were really elected, they would expose the Legion's darkest secrets after going to Terra, so they simply did not nominate anyone.

After the Lord of the Ninth Legion expressed his opinion, everyone looked at Ferrus.

Ferrus was silent.

There really aren't many people with distinct personalities and outstanding strengths in the Iron Hands Legion, because the descendants of Ferrus place more emphasis on collectivism.

"Ceyjanus," said Ferrus.

Number Eleven spoke up: "I choose the one that everyone agrees on."

The twelfth Primarch Angron abstained, so it was natural that Guilliman would speak next.

"The Thirteenth Legion abstains. In addition, I also choose Cyjanus." Guilliman said.

The fourteenth Primarch Mortarion was not there, the fifteenth Primarch Magnus was not there either, but the sixteenth Primarch Horus was present.

"Ceylonus, and then Luther of the First Legion," Horus said.

The 17th Primarch Lorgar was not there, so the 18th Primarch Vulkan spoke up: "I will choose the one who has the most votes in favor."

The Lord of Fire Dragon believed that his legion had always been unknown, and mentioning a candidate for the Eighteenth Legion at this time would only waste his brothers' time, so he simply did not mention the candidate for the Eighteenth Legion.

As the Primarchs searched for the nineteenth Primarch Corax, Corax gradually appeared in the most inconspicuous places.

"Sukunu," Corax mentioned the man he liked and trusted more than anyone else in the XIX Legion, and then he mentioned another candidate, "Sejanus."

Alpha was not present.

So Corax was the last Primarch to speak.

The person who received the most nominations was Cyjanus.

When all the Primarchs had finished speaking, Sejanus was pulled into the illusion by Qin Xia, who was not present but not completely absent.

When Sejanus was on his way to a certain place, he was suddenly pulled into an illusion by the psychic who was assisting him.

After he appeared, he first looked at his genetic father in surprise, then saluted, and then saluted the other primarchs.

Sejanus looked very handsome in a unique suit of armor, which combined with his handsome appearance.

But he wasn't nominated because of his good looks.

When the primarchs of the various legions have not returned, the legions will form expeditionary fleets and fight in the Great Crusade.

The legions would naturally keep in touch with each other, and Cyjanus was the one in charge of diplomatic affairs in the Luna Wolves.

Within the Legion, Abaddon, the famous thorn and hot-tempered brother, believed in Cyjanus, and the Primarch Horus also liked Cyjanus.

If Cyjanus plays the role of a foster father like Luther, then he is the Luna Wolves version of Luther, and may even be more famous and better than Luther, because the First Legion always carries out secret missions and Luther does not often show up.

If Luther is a Caliban succubus, then Cyjanus is a Luna Wolf succubus.

Sejanus impressed the other legions with his ability to conduct affairs between the legions.

"Remember what I said before that we are busy fighting for the seats of the Astartes?" Horus said to his son gently, "So far, you are the one who has been nominated the most times. If Mortarion and Magnus have no objections, you will go to Terra to represent all our legions and fight for the interests of our various legions in the Imperial Senate."

Sejanus had a lot to say, but he knew he shouldn't say it in such an occasion, so he just bowed again to show that he would live up to everyone's expectations.

“What do Mortarion and his companions think?” Guilliman looked at Angron. “They have never attended the Vision Conference.”

“Those not present are fighting alongside the Emperor. The Emperor’s psychic power is too great to break through his influence and bring Mortarion and his men in,” Angron said.

"Then we'll call them up after they finish fighting side by side, discuss things, and then make a decision." Guilliman looked at Cyjanus, "If they have no objection, then Cyjanus will go to Terra to represent us."

Both Horus and Guilliman said they would wait for the opinions of the Primarchs who were not present.

But in fact, this was just considering them according to Angron's concept of fairness. Everyone knew that no matter what the opinions of Mortarion and Magnus were, their nomination results would not affect the results of the discussions so far.

But it would certainly be inappropriate to make a decision without involving them.

"Then the discussion about the selection will be temporarily suspended," Angron said. "Once they have finished fighting alongside the Emperor, my father will use his psychic power to bring all of us together again, and then we will have another discussion and make a final decision."

The Primarchs nodded.

The illusion gradually faded.

The Primarchs gradually withdrew.

Finally, only Horus, Cyjanus, and Angron were left in the snowstorm.

“You should be ready to leave for Terra,” Angron said to Cyjanus. “Although the discussion is temporarily suspended, it is clear that you will be the one going to Terra, so you should prepare early.”

"My brother is right." Horus nodded, "You should prepare now. All the original tasks are suspended." Sejanus saluted the two Primarchs respectfully and said, "I will live up to your expectations."

“Also, regarding what our Twelve Legion wants you to raise at the council…” Angron reached out his hand and sent his thoughts into Sejanus’s head.

Sejanus sensed Angron's heart and realized in an instant that he needed to say something on Terra.

This made Sejanus look extremely serious and surprised.

It was an indictment against Magnus.

He must take the Thousand Sons' Arvida with him on his way to Terra, and from Terra question Magnus and the Thousand Sons' unbridled explorations into the Warp.

There is even evidence of the influence of malevolent beings from the Warp on the Thousand Sons...

“Their entire army is sliding toward the abyss. We must stop them,” Angron said.

Sejanus nodded solemnly.

Horus on the side didn't know what was going on, but Angron didn't intend to hide it: "I don't ask you to keep this a secret. Anyway, it will soon be known to everyone."

The illusion gradually faded.

Finally, the few people who stayed in the snow and wind also returned to reality.

……

Qin Xia and Angron opened their eyes at the same time.

“Done.” Angron nodded.

"Very good." Qin Xia stood up slowly. "Then we just need to call on Mortarion Rogdorn and the others. These legions cannot be excluded."

Angron thought. The remaining brothers would only need to hold a separate meeting. They couldn't blame him for not calling them, because the Emperor's psychic power was too strong to find them.

Qin Xia felt that the emperor was intentionally blocking the spiritual energy he was transmitting to him.

After compromising and choosing to allow the Astartes to join the Imperial Senate, perhaps after thinking it over, he felt uncomfortable, so he made a decision similar to throwing a tantrum, and just temporarily prevented Mortarion and others from being brought into the illusion to discuss things.

"This matter is not over yet, but we no longer need to do it ourselves." Qin Xia walked to the porthole and looked at the Dawn Star outside. "The attitude of the Imperial Parliament members towards the Astartes representative can be imagined. If we want Cyjanus to speak normally at the meeting, we still need to do something."

“Bribery?” Angron asked.

"Of course, but this kind of thing is easy to solve." Qin Xia turned around, "As early as when I thought that the Imperial Parliament could replace the War Committee, I arranged for people from the Institute of Reliable History to be active in the solar system. Now they can be activated. A small figure in the Imperial Parliament will act as our spokesperson to lobby various forces within the parliament and win over some people."

"For example, before, our various legions chose to support the War Council in order to fight Malcador. Now, we completely do not support any decision of the War Council."

"In everything, anything related to Terra, we fully support the Imperial Parliament. It will only be useful if someone from the Imperial Parliament comes to speak."

"We can also think of a way to secretly manipulate the parliament to send those small-time figures we want to win over to carry out tasks, and then provide convenience and support to these small-time figures so that they can be promoted."

Speaking of this, Qin Xia thought about it.

He then said: "We will support our own supporters in the Council... If we do not do this, the Emperor's promise of a seat on the Council and an additional Astartes on the Council will not be enough to ensure that our representatives can obtain a nominal position on the Council."

Angron thought about it and nodded in agreement.

He found that he thought he had made great progress in managing the affairs of Nuceria, but he still had a lot to learn about foreign affairs.

My adoptive father is better at dealing with these external intrigues.

Thinking of this, Angron suddenly asked, "If I can learn these things from you, then who did you learn from?"

"Find it yourself."

Qin Xia smiled, shook his head, and sighed secretly.

“I talked about my early years as an inventor and then my experience of starting a company.”

“If you don’t just invent for the sake of inventing, you have a lot to deal with.”

"Dealing with betrayal and maintaining one's power."

"I remember a series of battles where we were pushed past the limit before I kicked out one of my best friends and partners."

"When I finally faced him as a winner, I could only say one thing to him: No matter how much time has passed, I will always remember the night when we sneaked into my opponent's office and uprooted his fortune tree."

Having said that, Qin Xia sighed, shook his head, and didn't continue.

To him, it was all too past.

"That's not important." Qin Xia said, "What's important is now. Although we no longer need to participate in matters related to the Imperial Parliament, we still have to provide support to those who need our support, such as the Society and those in the Nukeria Intelligence Department."

“Sometimes I feel overwhelmed just thinking about certain things.” Angron bowed his head. “We make a decision, and thousands of people need to implement and enforce our will. They run all over the galaxy to serve us.”

"Just like the tavern in Dawnstar, and Theseus and the others."

"When dealing with some affairs in Nukeriya, even if it is a small matter, I will think ahead and behind, and use my thinking ability that is stronger than that of ordinary people to think about all possible consequences."

"Because I know that every decision we make will affect many, many people..."

Angron's voice trailed off.

Qin Xia sighed, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "We always need to make decisions, and decisions will always affect many, many people. We can only weigh and make decisions that benefit the most people. The emperor always does this kind of trolley problem. I don't agree with his ideas, but if I were to do the trolley problem, I would also choose the one that is most beneficial to the most people... The most uncomfortable decision in the world is to choose between chocolate-flavored shit and shit-flavored chocolate."

Hearing this, Angron nodded silently.

"Next I plan to go to Caliban to repay Luther's favor." Qin Xia said, "But before I leave I want to go back to Nuceria. Avida will also come here before meeting Cyjanus, and I hope to say something to him."

"The anniversary of the City Devourer Uprising is coming soon." Angron nodded slowly, "I will make arrangements once Avida arrives."
