Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 441 Psychic Equipment
……

One month later.

The White Knight Librarian fleet returns to the Nuceria system.

Angron and Qin Xia immediately headed for Resolute Nu II.

On this planet that was used as the Legion's base, Angron finally met with the Legion's high-ranking officials whom he had not seen for a while.

The Primarch could sense that his children missed him very much, but when he could sense this, the steps of reminiscing and expressing his feelings were naturally omitted.

The Primarch went directly to the strategic center with his adoptive father to check on all the preparations the Legion was making for the future Ullanor counterattack.

When the star message from the Lord of the White Knights reached the Nuceria sector, the intelligence gathering department had already been mobilized and began to prepare information for the future war.

"Half a year ago, Ullanor bordered the Empire, and the border star region was always being plundered. The situation improved only after the Eighteenth Legion joined the war under the leadership of the Lord of Fire Dragon."

Legion Commander Kiel pointed to the star map on the strategic hologram.

The green star field marked as the Ullanor Empire is closely connected to the yellow star field marked as the Empire.

"But nowadays, the Imperial Frontier Sector is no longer subject to plunder."

The star map presented on the holographic image is completely new.

A narrow red area appeared between the star regions of the Ullanor Empire and the Human Empire.

It was marked as - Blood Axe.

Qin Xia frowned, realizing that things were not simple.

"A force called Blood Axe has emerged. They belong to the same alien race as the Ullanor Empire, but they are enemies of each other."

"In a short period of time, Blood Axe took over many enclaves of the Ullanor Empire."

"They are...extremely strange."

At this point, Kiel looked towards a mortal in the corner of the room.

The mortal was wearing a robe and looked like a scholar.

The scholar took over the conversation: "The orcs of Blood Axe will trade with humans. They will even learn our military system and strategic methods, and have diplomatic capabilities. As long as the border galaxies of the empire hand over their resources, they will not plunder the empire's world."

After listening to the scholar's words, the senior legion leaders present had no expression on their faces. They had already learned about this series of surprising things before.

A blood drinker said in disbelief: "Green-skinned barbarians trading with humans? Am I crazy or is the person who went to investigate the information crazy?"

Qin Xia looked calm and composed.

In the future Beast Wars, the green-skinned orcs will even send a team of envoys composed of diplomatic boys to Terra to negotiate with the high lords during the most critical times of the empire.

The Inquisitors of the Ordo Xenos would even occasionally hire a team of greenskins to act as their thugs.

Earlier, in the operation to obtain the forging engine, there was a group of green-skinned mercenaries acting as thugs for the Robot Empire.

"Greenskins are intelligent creatures after all." Qin Xia's eyes fell on the scholar, "Do you have any information about the Blood Axe Greenskin forces?"

"There's a flag they use when they trade with humans."

The scholar took out a piece of rag from his backpack and unfolded it with great effort. A Space Marine at the side came forward to help, and the flag of the Blood Axe force was displayed in front of everyone.

After seeing the content on the flag, everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Xia.

I saw a bloody battle axe painted on the flag.

Everyone who has participated in the Greenskin Counterattack in the Onus Sector and the Super WAAAGH Star Battle can recognize the origin of the axe on the flag - it was the Greenskin Warlord Axe that Qin Xia used when he made his name as the Greenskin Butcher by slaughtering Greenskins.

Now this axe and Qin Xia's greenskin butcher heavy armor remain in the White Knight's equipment warehouse, waiting for the Lord of the White Knight to use in the future against the greenskins.

"Gusa." Qin Xia instantly understood where the Blood Axe force came from.

Angron recalled what his adoptive father had told him - there was a greenskin named Gusa, and a fart spirit named Hiss Fart. These two unique greenskin orcs formed a unique combination. The former became stronger by bragging, and the latter had amazing inventive abilities.

This unique greenskin combination eventually left the Onus sector and led the greenskins who were driven out of the Ullanor Empire back to their hometown, preparing to take back their former home.

"It seems that they are indeed useful." Qin Xia walked to the star map and looked at the long and narrow Blood Axe territory from left to right.

The Empire will inevitably crush Blood Axe along with the Ullanor Empire.

The 18th Legion, which was already at the front line and actually participated in the Ullanor War, only compromised itself out of necessity by acquiescing to the Blood Axe Clan.

This is the best.

Qin Xia thought.

He did not intend to win an alien ally for the empire, but only wanted to create an enemy for the Ullanor Empire. This enemy would be driven away from their habitats and serve as a "vanguard".

"Where is the leader beast of Blood Axe?" Qin Xia thought for a moment and turned to ask the scholar.

"It's a world called Super Small WAAAGH." The scholar said what he knew, "However, Super Small WAAAGH is not a fixed place. Wherever the leader of Blood Axe goes, that is Super Small WAAAGH. It often fights the greenskins of the Ullanor Empire at the front line."

After hearing this, Qin Xia looked at Angron and said, "I will go to where Gusa is and find a way to make it attack the Ullanor Empire."

Khân stepped forward and said, "But the Ullanor counterattack will not only involve our Twelfth Legion, but also other Primarchs and Legions..."

"You will come with me, taking the First Company of the First Regiment." Qin Xia glanced at Kahn and continued, "This is a secret special operation. It does not mean that the 12th Legion will launch the Ullanor counterattack before other primarchs and legions."

Angron looked at his adopted father and thought for a moment.

As the Primarch and Warmaster candidate, Angron thought more. He believed that the Emperor might intend to use the Ullanor Counterattack to test the two Warmaster candidates, namely himself and Horus.

It would be better to wait for the other brothers to arrive before fighting... But it's a secret operation. "I agree." The Primarch said.

"As you wish." Kahn saluted.

……

The think tank fleet quickly prepared and jumped into the warp to begin the long journey.

After the ship entered the Warp, tens of thousands of soldiers from the 1st Company of the 1st Chapter of the World Eaters were summoned to the upper deck of the White Knight.

The journey would take at least a month, so the Astartes did not know why they were summoned so early. It was not until they saw Qin Xia himself coming to the deck with the think tanks that they realized the mystery would soon be revealed.

The think tanks surrounded the Lord of the White Knights and came to the square formation of the first company's soldiers.

Qin Xia stopped and looked at the champion company of the strongest regiment in the legion in silence.

A moment later, a team of priests from the Red Robe Order entered the deck under the leadership of Quadrant. These sturdy priests dragged equipment boxes one after another. After entering the deck, they silently put down the equipment boxes and opened them.

Champion Captain Kahn, who was standing at the front of the company, saw silver vines in the equipment box.

Silver vine had long been equipped to the World Eaters, and the current inventory was so large that Nu-1 no longer produced silver vine. So when Kahn saw that everyone had made such a big fuss but only waited for a batch of silver vine, he was somewhat disappointed.

"Show it to everyone." Qin Xia walked through the array of think tanks and came to Kahn.

Kahn took out a piece of silver vine from the equipment box. This weapon, which can be transformed into any shape, appears square when static.

The soldiers of the Champion Company saw the company commander holding up the silver vine. The only difference between it and the silver vine currently wrapped around their arms was that it was white.

"This is a psychic device."

Qin Xia's voice echoed directly in the minds of every Astartes.

"It will replace the silver vines on you."

"This psychic silver vine is modified based on the new model of Nuwei silver vine. It is not only more responsive and easier to control, but also has an amazing property, which is that it can be used to release psychic spells."

The Astartes were all surprised when they heard the last sentence, but it could not be seen because they were wearing heavy helmets.

Qin Xia gestured to Kahn to put on the silver vine.

Kahn curiously pulled off the silver vine wrapped around his arm and put it aside, then established a mental connection with the white silver vine in his hand and controlled it.

The new type of silver vine immediately wrapped around Kahn's arm, like an arm armor, but there was a bulge on the inside of the arm.

When Kahn wanted to see what was inside the bulge, the silver vine automatically changed, revealing its core - a crystal that sparkled with a bright white light.

"Ammunition for psychic weapons?" Kahn remembered that he had seen this thing before. He had participated in the testing when psychic weapons were first developed. The psychic weapons used to deal with special situations used crystals for power.

"Release psychic lightning at me." Qin Xia faced everyone and ordered Kahn on his right without looking away.

Kahn immediately moved five meters away and raised his hand towards Qin Xia. When the idea of ​​psychic lightning came into his mind, white psychic lightning was immediately released from the silver vine.

The barrier that suddenly rose on Qin Xia's right side blocked the bombardment of lightning.

"Interesting stuff." Kahn looked at the silver vine on his arm.

Qin Xia turned and raised his hand towards Kahn, and psychic lightning burst out from the tips of his five fingers.

Kahn dodged subconsciously, and at the same time, the concept of "defense" emerged in his mind, just like controlling a normal silver vine. Then the silver vine unfolded like the previous one, forming a semi-arc structure.

However, the surface of this new type of psychic silver vine facing outward was emitting psychic light, which was able to resist the attack of psychic lightning.

"You see," Qin Xia said, "this silver vine has both psychic attack and defense capabilities. Its advantage is that it is easy to use. You don't need to learn any psychic spells or related knowledge, nor do you have to bear the threat of psychic out of control."

The World Eaters felt from the bottom of their hearts that this psychic silver vine was a good thing, but under the constraints of military regulations they did not even turn their heads and still stood there like puppets.

"The disadvantage is that you only have two kinds of psychic spells available, and the endurance is not very strong. One psychic crystal can only allow you to release psychic lightning and barrier ten times each." Qin Xia continued.

After introducing the characteristics of the psychic silver vine, Qin Xia gave everyone time to think.

The Astartes, like their Captain-Captain Khârn, were aware of the importance of this psychic equipment.

Why are the think tanks of various legions so looked down upon but cannot be abolished? It is because the think tanks can use psychic spells to turn the tide of battle at critical moments, and psychic equipment is equivalent to turning everyone in a company into a small think tank.

Kahn could instantly think of the simplest but most effective way to use this psychic equipment - facing the enemy's positions and fortifications, there would be no need for people to throw bombs under the hail of bullets. A combat team could line up and take turns releasing psychic lightning, and no enemy could withstand it.

At the same time, this kind of psychic equipment also has strategic significance. That is, when ordinary soldiers encounter psychic opponents, the self-protection method of psychic barrier can greatly increase the probability of winning when fighting against psychics.

When facing groups of psyker opponents, conventional troops can still fight even without a think tank.

"Are you satisfied with your new silver vine?" Qin Xia asked with a smile.

Then the soldiers of the Champion Company answered in a very stereotyped way whether they were satisfied.

According to the regulations, Kahn, as the company commander, waited for two seconds. If no one shook his head, it meant that they were not dissatisfied. The answer was obvious. All the soldiers of the championship company expressed satisfaction.

"They are very satisfied." Kahn reported seriously.

After witnessing this rigorous process, Qin Xia turned to look at Varis on his right behind him.

Varis shrugged slightly, as if to say, "This is how we Terrans are."

Qin Xia turned and walked off the deck, leaving behind a few words as he disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Use the sailing time to familiarize yourself with the new equipment and arrange your own training procedures. Once we reach our target location, we will most likely be involved in combat immediately, so be prepared."
