Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 423 Going to Terra
……

Nukeriya.

"I think the Navy has to standardize."

The current Archon of Nu Star sat in front of the Primarch.

As the Primarch looked at the plan for "Navy Standardization Reform" in his hand, the Archon expressed his own views.

"There are nobles on every warship in the Legion's fleet, and the family members of the noble captains control various important positions on the ship."

"These nobles were either supporters who were brought under the Emperor's wing during the Terra Unification War, or they were the original nobles of a certain world, and they were also retained after the Empire took control of their world."

"I think the presence of the naval nobility will have a negative impact on our legion's fleet."

The Archon took in the Primarch's expression and continued his explanation.

"The most important part of the Navy's standardization plan is the Navy's personnel selection and training system, and the establishment of specialized military academies to train talents."

"The military nobles in the Legion Fleet will certainly object, but it doesn't matter. We can marginalize them. The warships produced by the forged engine are now ready for service. The talents trained in the experimental military academies that I prepared in advance for this plan can also serve on the ships. They will become the core of the future Legion Fleet."

At this point, the Archon fell silent.

Angron put down the plan and said, "Thank you. That's very thoughtful."

The Archon forced a smile.

He is the governor of Nu Star and has no right to interfere in naval affairs.

However, Angron felt that the Archon's suggestion coincided with his own. When he had already begun to think about the navy, the other party took out this plan, which made him feel pleasantly surprised.

But the Primarch had already done something about it, establishing a secret naval academy, and this academy was not located on Nuceria.

Compared with the Primarch, the wisdom of mortals is always slow to realize.

“Retire,” Angron said suddenly.

When he heard this, the consul just smiled with relief.

There was no excuse, no objection or opinion. This was the power system of Nuceria. A person's legitimacy came from the approval and authorization of the Primarch.

The Primarch does not need to give reasons, and people believe that his judgment is never wrong, because in front of him everyone can be seen clearly as if they are transparent.

"I know I have done some wrong things recently." The Archon took off the crown on his head and gently placed it on the desk. "But considering that I have served you for so long, can you let me apply for it myself?"

“That is what I think,” Angron said. “You bring mixed feelings to my heart. I am angry at your wrongdoings, but I am reluctant to punish you when I remember that you once ran the Garrison during the time of the Devourer.”

The Archon looked at the Primarch with gratitude, thinking that he was probably the first Archon of Nuceria, and also the last mortal Archon.

“Back off.” Angron waved his hand.

The Archon slowly stood up and wanted to say something, but when he realized that all his thoughts had been seen through by the Primarch, he bowed, turned slowly and left.

Angron stared at his desk in a daze. Next to the plan for naval standardization, there were evidence and arguments about some of the things the Archon had done.

After a moment's silence, the Primarch suddenly pushed everything on the desk to the ground.

The door of the office was suddenly pushed open, and a Space Marine in gorgeous armor walked into the room: "Father..."

“Go ahead.” Angron nodded.

"The Lord of the White Knights will arrive in Nuceria tomorrow," the Space Marine reported.

Angron was stunned for a moment when he heard the news. "Didn't the Astropath say that my father would go directly to Terra instead of returning to Nuceria first?"

"That was the case before." The Space Marine nodded, "But just now the Astropath said that the Lord of the White Knights has changed his mind."

Angron smiled. “I see.”

The Space Marine nodded again, then bent down to pick up the things scattered on the ground, neatly stacked them on the desk, and asked, "Father, the Archon just now..."

"I did something because of blood ties and interests." Angron's expression and tone became low again. "You are the one I chose, and you followed me and the Archon to get familiar with some things. From today on, you are the Archon of Nuceria."

Upon hearing the news, the Space Marines saluted and accepted the order.

This is considered a formal appointment.

……

The next day.

The think tank fleet jumped out from Mandeville Point in the Nuceria system and sailed towards the star port.

Angron and the Blood Drinkers were waiting at the star port, watching the White Knight that had just entered the port, as well as two other Retaliation-class large cruisers of unknown origin.

As everyone was waiting, they suddenly heard a voice behind them.

"Yo."

Qin Xia had just walked out of the ice and snow, looking at the Primarch and gladiators in front of him.

Angron immediately ran over and hugged Qin Xia.

The gladiators came up to ask Qin Xia about his experiences during this period.

After chatting for a while, Angron asked about going to Terra.

"I originally wanted to rush to Terra, but then the Emperor contacted me via psychic communication, so I decided to go together." Qin Xia said. Angron knew about the accusation against Magnus, but he didn't understand why the Emperor wanted him to go to Terra as well.

The Emperor is not a Primarch, and his abilities sometimes seem limited, but his thoughts and decisions at certain times always leave a Primarch puzzled.

"Then let's go to Terra together." Angron looked around, "But we have to wait a while, because there are some things that need to be done."

Qin Xia looked outside the star port.

There was something Angron had prepared for him.

Four cruisers, and twelve frigates.

"Are the warships built with forged engines ready for service?" Qin Xia asked.

"Yes, there are nearly 40 cruisers that can be used to expand the Legion's fleet. The first batch of fleets and sailors have been sent to the Legion. I have selected some of them to expand the Think Tank fleet." Angron also looked at the warships outside the starport. "I think the White Knight Think Tank always acts alone, and it is very necessary to have a fleet dedicated to the Think Tank. So... as you can see."

Qin Xia glanced at the warships and began to think.

The think tank should have a fleet. After all, these psychic forces always act independently under their own leadership, and the number of void forces is extremely important.

But the World Eaters are a legion that lacks warships. The production capacity of the forging engines is indeed high, but the number of warships produced in the first batch is limited. If the think tank takes more, the regular forces of the legion will have to take less.

While Qin Xia was thinking about this, Angron had already seen what his adoptive father was thinking and took the initiative to explain: "I am not being partial. The Legion has not had any wars to fight recently and has been staying in Nukeria... Even if there is a war to fight, it is not certain that the think tank will not move with the main force."

"Let's assign these warships to the legion fleet." Qin Xia made a decision after thinking about it. "What you said makes sense, but you can't control what others think. The 12th Legion has always been short of warships... I really want these warships, but I am not only the Lord of the White Knights, but also your adoptive father. Now is the time to set an example."

“Then let’s take them with us on this trip to Terra,” Angron said.

Qin Xia then nodded.

Then everyone boarded the White Knight together.

The Primarch used Qin Xia's psychic power to issue some orders to the Legion, ensuring that the Legion could immediately go into battle if it encountered any war after he left.

The White Knight and two other Retaliation-class cruisers left the port. The new warships joined the Think Tank fleet and sailed towards Mandeville Point, jumped into the warp and sailed rapidly towards Terra in the torrent of psychic energy mobilized by Qin Xia.

It was two months later when we arrived outside the solar system.

When the White Knight jumped out of the subspace, it did not enter a galaxy, but a place with only a starport floating alone in the void.

This ancient starport is large enough to be called a world in itself. It was once used as a launching point for the Great Crusade, but now serves as an outpost for ships entering and leaving the solar system to complete preliminary inspections.

As the White Knight sailed towards the star port, a warship that had been waiting there quickly approached the White Knight.

Qin Xia and Angron, who were on the command deck, also received communications from the approaching warship.

When the communication screen popped up on the panel, Qin Xia saw Sejanus' face.

"Lord of the White Knights, Lord of the Twelve Legions." Sejanus saluted gracefully to the two people in the picture.

He was clearly just performing a very ordinary Sky Eagle Salute, but his every move gave people a feeling of being extremely graceful and elegant.

"We arrived here a week ago, and have been waiting for your arrival." Sejanus briefly introduced what happened before, his tone was calm, but there was some surprise between his eyebrows when he talked about this.

He was actually very puzzled as to why the Lord of the White Knights went to Caliban and then returned to Nuceria so quickly to pick up the Primarch of the XII Legion, and then rushed all the way out of the solar system... He had originally prepared to let the ship he was on wait for more than half a year.

"No Astartes or Primarchs who are not members of the Imperial Senate may enter the Sol System."

Sejanus shared the information he had obtained during the past week.

"But we can go in together, and then I can explain to the Imperial Senate that we are here together for the first session."

"Also, Lord White Knight, I have also collected and memorized the requests or messages that the various legions want to make at the parliament. Since you agree that I can become a member of the parliament, I will definitely do this job to the best of my ability."

After listening to what Sejanus said, Qin Xia had no expression on his face, and did not say anything to encourage or affirm Sejanus.

I'm in a completely dazed state.

Angron, who had long noticed that his adoptive father looked more and more strange the closer he got to Terra, immediately responded to Sejanus: "You have been very thoughtful. There is obviously a reason why most of my brothers agree that you should join the Imperial Senate. You are definitely the most suitable person among all the legions to represent us Astartes."

Upon hearing this, Sejanus bowed respectfully again, then glanced at his side and said, "Arvida, one of the sons of Magnus, is ready. He asked me to tell the Lord of the White Knights that he has become extremely determined after the conversation in the Nuceria Cemetery that day, and he will definitely live up to your trust."

Qin Xia seemed to come to his senses at this time and nodded silently.

"Communication completed."

"Communication completed."

After the communication was completed, the White Knight Think Tank Fleet and the Luna Wolves' warships gathered together and sailed into the starport.

It was only at this point that Sejanus, a member of the Imperial Senate Astartes, officially began the inspection process into Terra.

The bureaucrats of the Imperial Parliament asked Cyjanus some questions in the star port. After Cyjanus answered, all the ships were given characteristic codes. Then after the fleet left the star port, it was wrapped and bound by a special force and projected directly into the solar system.

Although this navigation technology that does not rely on subspace can be called interstellar navigation technology and superluminal technology, its effect time is short, and only the peak speed can be called superluminal.

The fleet entered the solar system and stopped near Pluto.

Angron, who was on the command deck, noticed that the defense array near Pluto was aimed at the fleet. After verifying the signature code, the defense array turned its weapons and aimed at and reviewed other warships that were projected into the solar system.

The fleet sailed towards Terra.

Qin Xia stood in front of the porthole and looked at Terra in the distance, his expression and eyes were complicated.
