Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 416: Male Wolf with Cub
"I beg you……"

"Wake up... just open your eyes and look at me..."

"me……"

Soval remained silent, while his son-in-law beside him hugged his daughter, choking with grief at first and then bursting into tears.

The Oathbreaker took off his helmet in silence and looked at his daughter. His expression was distorted but not a single tear came out.

When he was adopted by the last Lord of Sirius, Soval had sworn to shed blood but no tears.

However, after holding it back for a while, tears still rolled down Soval's eyes.

Perhaps he was too sad, or perhaps he felt that as a sworn knight exiled by the people, he no longer needed to abide by the knight's oath...

Soval opened his mouth and uttered a few hoarse sounds that were inaudible.

After a few seconds, veins bulged on the Oathbreaker's forehead. He opened and closed his mouth slightly, then opened his mouth again, as if he was roaring, but no sound came out of his mouth.

It was not until a moment later that a heart-wrenching cry came out of Soval's mouth, from being as thin as a thread to echoing throughout the ruins.

Qin Xia took off his helmet, held it in his hands, and bowed his head in silence.

The heart-wrenching roar was followed by deathly silence.

Soval wiped away his tears, stood up, walked to a nearby dilapidated warehouse, took out the firewood that was left there for shelter last time, and spread it flat on the ground.

"We have to cremate her," Soval said as he walked over to his son-in-law.

As a former member of the Sirius Knights, Soval naturally knew how to deal with corpses corroded by evil forces.

The son-in-law turned to look at Soval, then suddenly drew his sword and pointed it at his father-in-law.

Soval took a step back.

Qin Xia noticed that the son-in-law, who had been submissive before, now had a cold and firm expression.

"I've long been fed up with you, father." The son-in-law said coldly, "It's not that I don't want to avenge my biological father, but now that I have someone I care about, I can't lift the sword anymore."

After a pause, the son-in-law continued, "Just like you."

Soval bowed his head.

"When you came back from your mission, you saw that there was no one alive in the entire Knights except me and your daughter. Why didn't you keep your oath and hunt down Ryan, the humanoid monster, and kill Luther who tricked the Knights into opening the city gate?"

"You're just like me. Even someone like you can't pick up a sword once you have someone you care about."

The son-in-law lowered his head and looked at his wife in his arms and the baby sleeping soundly in his wife's arms.

"I don't have the ability to kill those two damn bastards, Ryan and Luther. I just grew up and don't even know how to take care of a child... But father, I believe you can take good care of your grandson."

"At this point, I don't care about right or wrong or grudges or disputes anymore."

As he spoke, the son-in-law threw the Sirius Sword away.

The long sword flipped in the air, and after landing, the tip of the sword sank into the rock layer, making a buzzing sound.

"Leave her!" Soval shouted.

The son-in-law's body was also gradually becoming cold, and was soon completely corroded, falling to the ground along with the body of his wife in his arms.

Soval knelt on the ground as if he had lost his soul, and didn't even notice that the bow and arrow in his hand had fallen into the snow.

Qin Xia stood aside until Soval nodded, then he waved his hand to burn the bodies of the couple, then picked up the sleeping child from the flames and handed him to Soval.

The Oathbreaker Knight raised his trembling hands and took his grandson. He slumped to the ground and stared at his grandson's face in a daze.

"The terrible beings in the wasteland have been trying to snatch him away."

Soval's voice was trembling and weak.

"This has happened many times before, but never before has a gangly ghost thing emerged from a person's shadow."

"Only during the darkest period of the Knights' history did I read about an evil spirit that could kill a large group of people just by crawling out of their shadows."

Listening to Soval's story, Qin Xia subconsciously looked outside the ruins.

The northern wasteland is where Chaos corruption is most severe, and the wasteland is where the Ouroboros resides.

"Your Sirius Knights have been fighting against all kinds of horrific existences in the wasteland." Qin Xia said.

Soval nodded slowly: "Yes. We also fight against the behemoths, and we also intercept the various terrible beings from the northern wasteland to prevent them or the power of withering from infiltrating outside the wasteland."

"At that time, there was a group called the Dark Watchers who helped us."

"We know that although the behemoths are scary, they are far from the scariest things on Caliban. In fact, those behemoths have helped us fight against more terrifying beings."

"Then one day, a bastard named Luther adopted a humanoid livestock named Ryan in the forest. The two bastards came up with an idea to kill all the behemoths for the people of Caliban."

Soval looked up at the aurora sky.

"It should be said that Luther is a very charming man, very brave, very smart, he can often see through the essence of things, he seems to be able to do everything, can do everything, and can do it well."

"But he didn't realize that the thing he called Ryan was actually a monster."

"A freak nearly four or five meters tall, Luther actually raised this humanoid beast as his son..."

At this point, the Oathbreaker sneered sarcastically.

"Luther followed Lion's orders. One day, they decided to kill the beasts under the pretext of eliminating the beast scourge forever for the people of Caliban. They held a meeting for all the knights to attend."

"The Knights of Sirius warned Luther and Lion at the meeting, told them everything...but they didn't think it was true."

"The people of Caliban also sided with Luther. They stopped sending food and clothing to our Sirius Knights and called us knights who betrayed their people."

"One day, when we were out of ammunition and food, Luther came here and brought us some supplies. He also invited us to join the cause of exterminating the giant beasts."

"Lord Sirius refused, and Luther got up and left. Then the Knights and Ryan rushed into the place, and all the resisters were cleared out."

"But at least they don't kill the children, otherwise..."

Soval looked down at the ashes of his daughter and son-in-law's bodies.

Qin Xia also lowered his head and looked at it. After a moment of silence, he said, "Now I know where the ruins are. Next, I will open a portal for you to leave the wasteland. You can take your grandson..."

"To be a dog for the empire that oppresses Caliban?" Soval looked up at Qin Xia, "I'm sorry, I'm really not as despicable as Luther. Back then, Ryan's beastly father came to Caliban, and tyranny followed. I saw with my own eyes that many Caliban brothers and sisters were driven into the wasteland."

"Those Imperial soldiers sent them into an eco-city with a virus."

"Claiming that this is the grace of the Emperor, claiming that this is a feat of conquering Caliban nature and demonstrating human courage."

"Then there were a bunch of zombies in the wasteland."

After hearing what Soval said, Qin Xia was speechless.

If you look at some people and things from different perspectives, you will get different results.

But it is true that the Imperial personnel who manage Caliban are a bunch of heinous idiots. They are even less resistant to Chaos than the Calibans, and they are deliberately torturing the Calibans to death.

"I drove away those imperial management. Now the fate of Caliban is decided by you Calibans." Qin Xia said.

Soval raised his head and looked at Qin Xia in confusion, then looked at the outline of the ship outside the gorgeous aurora: "You are a guest on that ship, right?"

Qin Xia nodded silently.

Soval stood up and handed his grandson in his arms to Qin Xia.

Qin Xia looked at the old knight in confusion, wondering what the other party was thinking.

"Caliban is hell," said Thorval, "but Caliban is still my home, and the Calibans are still the people I swore to protect. I cannot leave Caliban, but my grandson can."

"I am not a good elder, as evidenced by the fate of Lord Sirius's offspring."

"Take my grandson with you, if you want." Listening to what Soval said and looking at the baby Soval handed over, Qin Xia hesitated for a moment and said, "I will find a way to build a safe place in Caliban, where you can..."

"Is there any safe place on Caliban?" Thorval asked. "There is a prophecy circulating among the Knights of Sirius that says Caliban will eventually be destroyed by everything Lion brings."

"..." Qin Xia was silent for a few seconds, then reached out to take the baby and held him in his arms.

The baby is very weak.

When Qin Xia projected spiritual energy at it, the baby opened his eyes and hugged Qin Xia's thumb with its two short and fat arms.

"He will grow up." Qin Xia lowered his head and said to the knight, "Is there anything you want me to convey?"

Soval took off the badge hanging from his waist and placed it in his grandson's arms.

When Qin Xia thought that Soval would ask him to convey some encouraging words about revenge and let the Sirius badge become a token of revenge.

The Oathbreaker nodded. "I hope you will tell him when he grows up that his grandfather was a knight who protected the people of Caliban, and that he was born in Caliban..."

"But the belief still needs to be passed on." Qin Xia said, "I will still tell him about Sirius. The cause and effect caused by hatred already exist. Concealment and forgetting are both futile. I will explain everything to him at that time. As for how he should act, it is up to him to decide."

Soval's gaze moved from his grandson to Qin Xia's face.

After a moment of silence, Soval nodded, picked up the bow and arrow from the ground, turned around and walked out of the ruins.

"Where are you going?" Qin Xia asked, looking at his back.

Soval didn't even turn his head, tightened his old armor, and walked out of the ruins amid the abnormal hissing sound of the servo transmission system.

"I have been provided for, and so I must live up to my oath and fight to the death for the people of Caliban."

"This is the fate of a knight. This is the only fate a knight can have."

After taking a few steps, the knight staggered and knelt on the ground, then stood up and continued walking.

His figure was gradually swallowed up by the wind and snow outside the ruins.

A moment later, the howling of several wild beasts resounded throughout the wilderness.

After a while, the howling stopped, and no other sound could be heard.

Qin Xia sighed slowly while holding the baby.

Watcher Kang just walked out of the castle with an object in his hand.

The object appeared to be a snake devouring its own flesh.

"I got this thing, it can lead us to Ouroboros," Kang said.

Qin Xia nodded silently.

The Watcher walked to the Sirius Sword stuck in the ground, pulled out the sword and hung it behind his back.

"This sword of Sirius was born in the primitive days of Caliban."

The little man in robe said.

"In the era when the Calibans degenerated into a tribal civilization, humans were fighting against giant beasts."

"The warrior named Sirius was born in one tribe, and his witch wife was born in another tribe."

"When Sirius grew up, his tribesmen made armor and the Sirius Sword for him. The shamans from the tribe where Sirius' wife belonged enchanted the sword and armor. The couple set out on the journey to defeat the behemoth together. When they went deep into the wilderness, they discovered that the behemoth was not a real threat."

"This sword comes from Sirius, and that warrior is also the founder of the Sirius Knights."

Kang said this and turned around to let Qin Xia take a look at the Sirius Sword behind him.

"Perhaps this sword can help you destroy the Ouroboros."

Qin Xia nodded again and looked towards the wasteland.

……

The next day.

It was windy and snowy.

Even though Qin Xia did not use psychic power or create snow and wind, the wind and snow were still so strong that he could not see anything more than two meters around him.

Kang watched the Ouroboros object floating in the air, holding the Chaos Artifact in his arms, and waited quietly.

Qin Xia sat on a rock with the baby on her lap.

At this time, they had left the ruins and set out on a journey to find Ouroboros.

After leaving the ruins, the baby's psychic power was restored and used to resist the surrounding cold.

Qin Xia took off his snow-white cloak and wrapped the baby through the warm animal skin.

This is not for meaningless warmth, but this cloak was also made by the Primarch. The material used comes from Perturabo's home planet Olympia. It is soft but tough, and can absorb a lot of impact force, providing a strong protective effect.

The baby is a powerful and stable psyker. If he is trained as a think tank, he will surely add a legendary think tank to the World Eaters in the future.

But even if this baby does not have psychic talent, Qin Xia will protect him carefully until the journey ends and he returns to the White Knight.

Because the baby's parents and grandfather helped him.

Qin Xia knew very well that an ordinary person would feel extremely honored and grateful for the arrangement of fate after meeting him.

So when he realized this, he wanted to do something for those who were lucky enough to see him, to prove that seeing the Lord of the White Knights was more than just knowing what the Lord of the White Knights looked like.

From the moment the baby's grandfather was willing to show the way to the Lord of the White Knight, the baby's fate took a turn.

"He is still a baby after all. If his psychic power gets out of control... Kang, please help me take care of him."

"You're worrying too much. In terms of the stability of his psychic talents, the only difference between him and you is that he has soul projection."

Qin Xia wrapped the baby in a cloak, then pulled up both ends of the cloak, tying one end around the shoulders and the other around the waist.

The baby was sleeping soundly outside Qin Xia's heavy breastplate.

Qin Xia patted the baby's body gently, sat on the stone and stretched out his hand to Kang.

The book of chaos artifacts in Kang's arms floated up, and then he reached out and took out the spear and the Sirius Sword and handed them to Qin Xia.

Qin Xia reached out to take it, raised his head and looked straight ahead.

Just a thought came to mind, and a strong wind swept up from the wasteland, dispersing the dense snow and wind around it as well as the dark clouds in the sky.

The wild beasts and zombies hidden in the wind and snow were exposed.

There were so many of them that Qin Xia was reminded of the Zerg aliens in the Battle of Novsendak. The smallest of these beasts was the size of a car, and was even more ferocious and powerful.

Qin Xia stood up from the stone with an expressionless face, silently and calmly, holding the spear in one hand and the Sirius Sword in the other.

The Lord of the White Knights slowly took a step forward.

The beasts that had surrounded the Lord of the White Knight but did not dare to move forward all took a step back, but eventually rushed forward driven by a more powerful force.

Qin Xia raised his spear and faced forward.

Strong winds carrying snowflakes whistled past behind it, shattering all the ferocious beasts along the way. Even the thick snow and ice on the ground were lifted up by the powerful supernatural force, forming a natural wonder with smooth arcs after rising from the ground.

"Help me count."

The Watcher heard the Lord of the White Knights say to himself.

"Let's see how many seconds these ants called by Ouroboros can delay me."
