Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 401 White Knight Trial

……

a few days later.

In the castle's underground training ground.

Thirty White Knight think tanks were fully armed and stood in line.

The think tank team, who came from the World Eaters, abided by the XII Legion's strict discipline traditions. They were silent, and their eyes and postures all obeyed the discipline.

Qin Xia was different from these serious and neat think tanks. He only wore two pieces of clothing, one was shorts and the other was a robe.

The Lord of the White Knights sat on the steps, holding a piece of chalk in his hand and a blackboard beside him.

The projection training equipment passed down from generation to generation by the Caliban Knights was playing the internal information of the White Knights.

This internal information is top secret according to the White Knight's internal regulations and is guarded by Thetis, the director of the Grand Library. Only veterans of the think tank who have joined the think tank for more than ten years are qualified to retrieve the information and view it, and they must view it under the supervision of the director of the Grand Library.

The material is a video recorded from Qin Xia's first-person perspective. A blood-red creature appears in the video, and the entire video shows Qin Xia destroying the creature in no time.

After the video was finished, Qin Xia wrote and drew on the blackboard.

"This is not the first time you have viewed this material, except for those of you who have just passed the test of will."

"This is a creature called a demon. They come from the warp, from a being called chaos."

"The world we live in today, called Caliban, is a world deeply affected by Chaos."

"There is a high probability that demons will appear here. You must use psychic powers to deal with them."

Qin Xia was halfway through his words when a dark angel walked to the door, lowered his head and didn't look at anything inside.

"What's the matter?" Qin Xia asked.

From the perspective of the Dark Angel, he couldn't even see what was in the room, but he still kept his head down as much as possible and reported: "Another witness report of a sacrifice ceremony."

Qin Xia signaled to the Dark Angels that they could leave, and then looked at the think tanks.

The Librarians also looked at the Lord of the White Knights.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go." Qin Xia threw away the chalk.

The think tanks quickly lined up and walked out of the underground training ground.

A stealth gunboat was docked outside the castle, and the think tanks flew towards the hive city on the gunboat.

……

The hives on Caliban were not built quickly, so there was no standard distinction between top hives, bottom hives, and base hives.

Those Calibans who were forced into the hive city, whether they were workers or those without jobs, all lived in a dark environment.

As the gunboat penetrated deeper into the hive, the Librarians in the cabin looked down at everything below, and they all came up with the same description of the Caliban people and their living environment - like rats in a gutter.

People coming and going were crowded on a half-built street, everyone's clothes were tightly stuck to their bodies, and then everyone else was tightly stuck together.

The dark crowds of people were crowded together, and the movement of people was like stuffing a large number of mice into a small box. The scene of the mice crowding back and forth was exactly the same as what the think tanks were seeing now.

"I was quite confused before." A new think tank said, "I wondered why the Imperial administrators would build a hive city on Caliban. This is an absurd decision that will not get any positive feedback, only negative feedback. But now that I'm here, I can see the reason."

"Chaos Corrosion." Chief Think Tank Varis took over the conversation with a dull voice, "They are deliberately creating a cruel living environment. Brother Librarian, do you remember a sentence at this moment?"

"Yes, Chief Think Tank Brother Varis." Tethys nodded slowly, "The Lord of the White Knights once said that people living in hell find it difficult to resist the temptations of hell."

"That's what I mean, Brother Tethys, the head librarian."

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to expound on these sensible and honorable words, Chief Librarian Brother Varis."

"..."

The Nuceria think tanks looked at the two in confusion. They had the same doubt as the Nuceria Space Marines in the World Eaters, which was why the Terrans always liked to add "brother so-and-so" after their words.

The Nucarians thought this must be some culture of the Sons of Angron, and so began to learn it.

While the Terrans are influenced by the traditional culture of the Nukarians, such as calling each other by their first names, the Terrans' culture is also influencing the Nukarians.

Amid the shouts of "Brothers", the gunboat approached the mission site.

From above, the Librarians saw the streets below littered with bodies, and their hearing captured the fear deep in the people's souls.

People wearing masks and with strange patterns on their bodies were slaughtering civilians on the streets.

The reason why people were crowded together in that area just now was because a brutal killing was going on there.

And what is the law enforcement team responsible for maintaining order in the hive city doing at this time?
The think tanks don't know the answer to this question. Even if they use psychic vision to check, they cannot see the order maintenance team that will inevitably arise spontaneously in any hive world.

The gunboat hovered in the air and gradually took shape.

Some smart escapees ran towards the suddenly arriving gunboat.

The think tanks jumped off the gunboat one after another, while shutting down the defensive force fields of the think tank-model special Terminator tactical dreadnought armor they were wearing.

People walked past the think tanks.

The think tanks took a step forward and walked in the opposite direction of the crowd.

The gunboat turned in the air and fired at a building where a large number of killers were standing nearby. The entire building was reduced to ruins under the bombardment of the gunboat.

The think tanks on the ground engaged the killers head-on.

Although Chief Think Tank Varis is a member of the think tank, he is also accustomed to abiding by the battle arrangements of the conventional legion combat sequence, that is, as the leader of a combat organization, he needs to lead by example.

Varis only held a spear in his hand.

He once had a chainsaw axe that he loved very much, but in order to be closer to the habits of the Lord of the White Knight, he placed the chainsaw axe under the bed in his room and replaced it with a spear.

The captain of the 18th Company, Mago, taught him how to use the spear.

Varis walked in the front with his spear held upside down. On his left and right were Thetis, the director of the Great Library, and Kamas, who was loved by the Lord of the White Knights. Behind him were the other think tanks who maintained a loose formation. According to the internal regulations of the legion, the newcomers were protected by the veterans in the center.

In contrast, the killers on the other side were armed with a large number of light and heavy firepower weapons. These mortals were shocked when they saw a group of Space Marines, but the fact that these Space Marines did not even have a long-range weapon still gave the killers the courage to try.

A horde of assassins approaches Varis.

The chief think tank raised his hand slightly, and lightning burst out from his fingertips. Ninety percent of the killers on the entire street were cleared out. More than a hundred killers who had been shouting strange languages ​​and firing at the think tanks were instantly turned into drifting ashes.

"Nice kill, Brother Varis." Thetis walked beside him, holding up a psychic barrier for Varis.

"It's still far from a casual attack from the Lord of the White Knights, Brother Tethys." Varis stared solemnly at the assassins who were not killed by his psychic lightning, "He can kill all the enemies in this area with just a thought."

"We cannot pursue power too much, otherwise we will lose ourselves, Brother Varis." Tethys reminded, "Remember the teachings of the Lord of the White Knights, Brother Varis."

"I understand, Brother Tethys." Varis stepped forward, stabbed the half-dead killer with a gun, then stepped over the corpse and continued forward.

A new think tank member at the back immediately grabbed the corpse, used precise psychic attacks to peel off the strange patterns imprinted on the corpse, and then stuffed it into a sheepskin bag that had been used by a Grey Knight for two hundred years.

The think tanks moved on.

The killers in the hive city armed with light and heavy weapons were no match for the think tanks. Those killers hiding in the buildings were driven out by gunboats and then killed by the think tanks.

The think tanks never stopped advancing or slowed down, because the enemy was too fragile. They only needed to raise their hands slightly to annihilate the enemy in lightning or fire.

Psychic lightning, psychic fire, these not very powerful but just standard psychic attack techniques are most suitable in this kind of purely one-sided killing.

When the think tanks walked out of the flames and reached the end of the street, most of the killers had turned to ashes, and the only one still alive was huddled in the ruins in fear.

"Catch him and read his mind."

Qin Xia's voice echoed in the minds of all think tanks.

The Lord of the White Knights was paying close attention to the performance of the think tanks and was ready to give orders at any time. Although he was sitting on the steps in a pair of shorts thousands of miles away, this did not affect his participation in the operation at all.

"Brother Kamaz."

"Yes, Brother Varis."

Kamas immediately walked towards the ruins, stretched out his big hand to grab the killer's head, lifted him up and brought him to the think tank.

The think tank who is most proficient in psychic abilities, Thetis, the director of the Great Library, immediately stepped forward and read the memory.

“They really are performing a ritual.”

"They belong to a group called 'The Restoration of Caliban'."

"They worship a god called 'Heart of Caliban' and want to awaken this god through a sacrificial ritual and free Caliban from hell."

Tethys casually threw away the killer who died because he couldn't bear the pressure of reading the brain.

"That makes sense." Qin Xia nodded with satisfaction. "I saw some people from the law enforcement team went to your place, Varis. I hope you can make a proper decision on the aftermath."

"Yes, Lord of the White Knights." Varis saluted to the air and then looked ahead at the street.

A group of people armed with weapons and wearing standard equipment ran over and stopped in front of the think tanks.

Varis looked them over.

These people are more like members of Caliban's mortal army, and should be working part-time to protect the order of the hive.

One of them, who looked like an officer, stepped forward and saluted the think tanks: "My Lords... first of all, thank you... We..."

Varis stirred.

The mortals present did not see what happened to the officer's body at that moment.

Just when all the think tanks were standing solemnly like statues, the leading think tank moved his hand casually, and the ruined wall next to him was covered with blood and flesh.

By the time everyone came to their senses, the officer had disappeared.

"Secondary personnel, step forward." Varis's cold voice came from the heavy helmet.

The officer's deputy swallowed his saliva and walked forward tremblingly.

"Why are you here now?" Varis asked.

“We… We received the order a long time ago, but he…” The deputy glanced at the rotten flesh on the wall of the ruins, “But he told us to wait and see the situation… So… Sir… I… he…”

"I need you to go to the next street at the end of the road from now on, maintain order, and ensure the safety of your Caliban brothers and sisters." Varis interrupted his deputy's stuttering words, "From now on, the people whose orders you need to obey are no longer anyone other than us or the Dark Angels."

"But sir... those from the empire..."

"The War Council will be officially abolished soon, and any managers sent by the Council to Caliban will be in a quasi-illegal state." Varis interrupted again.

The deputy thought about it and nodded silently.

"Any question."

"No more, sir, no more."

"Do as I say."

After a conversation, the law enforcement team immediately ran to the next block.

"Well done." Qin Xia, who was thousands of miles away, paced and said, "But Varis, how did you find out that there was something wrong with that officer?"

"I've been through something similar. My lord, I know what shit those bastards are going to do as soon as they open their mouths," Varis replied.

"Oh." Qin Xia nodded thoughtfully, "You guys deploy there first, and throw the sheepskin bag into the portal later."

As soon as the words fell, a field of ice and snow unfolded in front of the think tanks.

The think tank carrying the sheepskin bag walked forward and put the sheepskin bag containing the killer's skin into the snow.

Then the sheepskin bag disappeared along with the wind and snow.

Before receiving further orders, Varis gave the think tanks a few gestures, and they dispersed and guarded the surroundings.
