Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 408 New List

"Take a look at this document."

The Librarians have teleported the priest's package to Luther's castle.

Luther immediately opened the package and poured out everything inside.

A stack of documents, some ritual items, and a human skull.

Between the important information documents and ritual items, and the probably worthless skull, Luther subconsciously picked up the last one, holding it in his hand and looking at it.

"Young man's." Luther said, looking at the skull.

Qin Xia just picked up the document to check it. When he heard what Luther said, he immediately looked up at the skull, was silent for a moment, and then lowered his head to look at the document again.

Luther lowered his skull with a cold face and looked at the document in Qin Xia's hand, but his mind was not on it.

The skull just now... an Imperial in such high position and power would never let his head fall into the hands of others and become a ritual item for others... that could only be a Calibanite.

Qin Xia stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers right under Luther's nose.

Luther's thoughts turned to the document in Qin Xia's hand.

"A list?"

"Yes, but this is a list drawn up by the corrupted."

There was a series of names written in High Gothic on the list. The names on the list were not internal members or high-level minions, but a list of "swing personnel".

"Their internal purge list." Luther immediately picked up the list he had received from the Governor for comparison.

When a look of doubt appeared on Luther's face, Qin Xia frowned, realizing that things were not simple.

"I have verified the list provided by the Governor." Luther pointed to several names on the Governor's list. "These people do have solid evidence to prove that they have been corrupted, but they are considered to be wavering and unsteady believers among Kavak's people. Therefore, Kavak and the priest are going to purge them."

"But we cannot rule out the possibility that they leaked this list to us on purpose." Qin Xia recalled what happened just now.

Kavak pushed the priest, and the package fell to the ground at that time. Then the priest turned around and looked at Kavak in disbelief.

"Of course." Luther nodded thoughtfully.

Both of them felt that just like the think tanks' mistake in allowing Kavak to be teleported away by the priests, when playing games with these people who were corrupted by Chaos, there would always be some unexpected things happening.

At the same time, one must also be skeptical of everything that happens in the game.

"I now feel that we are a bit like inquisitors," Qin Xia said.

"What?" Luther raised his head.

"Nothing." The matter of the judge was not a big deal. It was an identity that would only appear in the future, so Qin Xia did not explain it.

Qin Xia just felt that this kind of preconceived suspicion was the characteristic of the judge.

That's what the Inquisitor is like, suspicious and neurotic.

Qin Xia still remembered that when the Grey Knights found him and were about to promote him to a recruit, the Inquisitors went directly to Saturn where the Grey Knights Monastery was located. Of course, that place was not called Saturn, but "Titan".

The Inquisitors found the Grey Knights' behavior problematic.

It is known that the Grey Knights would never corrupt or betray the God-Emperor. Some senior Inquisitors have also worked with the Grey Knights, so they are also very clear about this, but the Inquisitors just want to know what the Grey Knights think.

And then…then the Grand Master at the time told the Inquisitors to get out.

As a result, I, like the Inquisitors, want to know what the Grey Knights think, but I still don’t know why, and I may never know why.

Thinking of this, Qin Xia couldn't help but sigh.

"No matter what, I still have to confirm this list from the enemy." Luther searched through the photos and video evidence. "The people mentioned in their internal list were only photographed participating in the sacrificial activities. What if there is another hidden story..."

Before he finished speaking, Luther's confidant, Kangtan, walked into the room and reported: "Someone has found Kavak."

Qin Xia looked at Kang Tan.

"He held a meeting pretending that nothing was wrong and invited all the members on the list to attend the meeting," Contain continued.

"Wait." Qin Xia frowned slightly, "Meeting?"

Kang Tan nodded very seriously.

"Is this guy crazy?" Qin Xia turned his head suddenly and looked at Luther.

Luther was also puzzled. He frowned and thought hard. After a long time, he could not figure it out. "I don't know what he was thinking... but he is gathering all the people we want to purge together and providing us with an opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop. Operation Caliban's Wrath doesn't need to last for more than ten days..."

"It could also be an ambush or a trap." Kang Tan said cautiously.

"No." Qin Xia looked at Kang Tan, "Those guys don't have an advantage in terms of power. Even if they want to set a trap for us to fall into, they will be dead if we really step into it."

Luther nodded in agreement.

"Kavak..." Qin Xia recalled that he had just seen him running away with the priest and then pushing the priest, and then thought about the current incident, "Has this person always been so absurd and confusing, or has he suddenly become so stupid?"

Then Qin Xia and Luther realized a possibility at the same time.

The two looked at each other and immediately knew what the other was thinking.

"I'll go interrogate the Governor." Luther immediately picked up the sword hanging on the wall.

"If the truth is what we think it is." Qin Xia picked up the spear standing in the corner, "After Kavak, who is either an idiot or a super smart guy, starts the meeting, I will go and clean them up myself."

Luther nodded and walked out of the room with Kangtan. …

at the same time.

Inside the Hive City of Caliban.

In the conference hall, which was completely under the control of the empire, all five hundred seats were filled.

This means that all the imperial management personnel are present to attend the meeting convened by Kavak.

Even Dur, who had previously come into contact with Qin Xia, was present.

The aisles between the rows of seats were filled with people who had been brought here by their masters, just as their masters had brought them from Terra to Caliban.

Further in front of each row of seats is a round table.

Although there were many people in the hall, no one spoke, not even whispering.

Because of some things that happened during the day, everyone began to speculate about the reason why Assistant Governor Kavak convened a meeting.

Speculation breeds doubt, and doubt breeds gaps.

In the silence that seemed to never end, the only contact people made was eye contact.

They looked at each other unkindly, looked at each other with doubtful eyes...

These servants of Caliban's de facto ruling class stood in the aisle and looked at each other's servants. They might be dressed very differently from their masters, but their eyes were exactly the same.

Doubt, suspicion, speculation...

Among all the servants, those who wore power armor but did not appear to carry weapons were the most stable. They paid attention to the situation around their master, while quietly placing their hands where the weapons were still unknown.

In this situation, no matter who comes here and sees these scenes, they will realize that although the imperial personnel have gathered together for the first time, they obviously have not reached a consensus on the cognitive level, and even... they have not yet distinguished between friend and foe.

"The Governor's Assistant is here!"

A voice that heightened the solemn atmosphere resounded throughout the conference hall.

Kavak walked into the hall with a group of followers.

In the past, people would salute him when he walked in. Those who were loyal and willing to follow him would stand up and salute respectfully, while those who hated him would stand up and salute him reluctantly.

But today was different from the past. Because the atmosphere was too solemn and the suspicion between each other was too strong, no one stood up to salute.

Kavak walked over to the round table and sat down.

The followers he brought with him hid their bodies under their hoods. When they approached the round table, they sat down and took off their hoods after sitting down.

There were a total of twenty followers. After taking off their hoods, they revealed faces that were unique but all gave people a sinister feeling. There were strange symbols of different colors branded on their foreheads.

Someone finally spoke in the silent conference hall.

"What about the lords?"

This is what people discuss the most.

The so-called lords are the spokesmen of many imperial institutions on Caliban. They will appear with Kavak when the parliament hall is full, and then finalize or reject the various suggestions of those little people.

But today, twenty oddballs took the place of the lords.

"We are priests of the true God." Twenty lords turned their backs to everyone and spoke at the same time, in unison, and the sound echoed directly in everyone's ears.

The priests then spoke a great deal about faith.

But Kavak, who came here with the priests and was regarded as a leader and master by the priests, remained silent, and not a single word of what the priests said entered his ears.

Kavak was thinking about something.

Why was I found and then experienced that assassination?

And whether some of the things you have done are effective.

As he was thinking, Kavak looked towards the meeting seat and found a familiar face.

That's Durr.

Dur's square face was full of anger, and he was staring at Kavak with cold and firm eyes.

"Sir." After explaining their beliefs, the priests gathered around Kavak and asked in unison, "When will the sacrifice begin?"

Sacrifice.

This is why Kavak gathered the priests and believers here.

He used his own experience during the day, how much trouble Luther and the uninvited guest would cause, and how bleak the future was, one reason after another to urge the priests to bring trusted people to the meeting hall.

Not all the people present are faithful believers who can be trusted, but it doesn’t matter, those who don’t believe can be used as sacrifices in the ceremony.

Use this adventurous method to turn the conference hall into a ritual site, complete the ritual through killing, and then summon the ancient gods...

"Wait a moment," said Kavak.

"What are you waiting for?" the priests asked with frowns.

"I feel the god is watching me, and it is gathering strength..." Kavak said.
