Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 452 People who need to be vigilant

On the battleship deck.

Perturabo suddenly teleported out and immediately placed Angron on a stretcher.

The apothecary among the Space Marines who suddenly appeared had already unfolded the stretcher and was checking Angron's condition.

Then a psyker came over and cast a soothing psionic spell on the Primarch. Angron's condition immediately improved and he stood up from the stretcher.

Perturabo looked toward the porthole.

Outside that porthole, the desert planet had been hit by an atmospheric incineration torpedo launched by a battleship, and the entire planet was burning.

Eventually, under the horrific destruction caused by the star-destroying weapons, the planet will become a hell of nothing but a sea of ​​fire.

“It seems your adoptive father did something to distort the teleportation coordinates of that fart monster.” Perturabo smiled at Angron.

Obviously, the "astropath" mentioned by the Space Marines just now was also Qin Xia.

"Which legion are you from?" Angron looked at the Space Marines emitting "sunlight".

"The Word Bearers." The Space Marine held his head high.

“What is your name?” Angron asked calmly.

"Erebus!" The Space Marine immediately took off his helmet, revealing a face covered with scriptures and an extremely warm and kind smile. "The moment you learn my name, my parents and ancestors are all bathed in glory under the glory of the God-Emperor because of this moment!"

Perturabo didn't even look at the warrior, because he was just an ordinary Space Marine and didn't fight.

But Angron was looking at the warrior named Erebus.

Soon, Perturabo realized that his brother was a little strange now, and the look in his eyes... was filled with deep confusion, as if he was looking at a shocking puzzle.

The Lord of Steel thought that it was Erebus's words "God-Emperor" that made Angron suspicious, so he explained on behalf of the Word Bearers: "The Word Bearers and their Primarchs worship the Emperor as a god. Don't teach them a lesson, because it is meaningless. Wait until the Emperor is free to deal with them one day."

Angron shook his head slowly.

The Word Bearers were clearly upset by what Perturabo had said, as the Son of God was questioning the sanctity of his father.

Those unbelievers and blasphemers have reason to question the Emperor of God because of their arrogance and ignorance, but the Son of God should not...

However, Erebus did not show the dissatisfaction shown by his other fighting brothers on his face, only a kind smile.

He didn't know yet that the Primarch in front of him was looking at him with doubtful eyes not because of the unique beliefs of the Word Bearers, but precisely because of him, the man named Erebus.

"There's this bastard named Erebus among the Word Bearers."

"When I see him in the future, I will immediately crush him with my psychic power, and I can tell you the reason in advance now."

"He is the source of all evil, the Sun Xiaochuan of this universe."

"He will lead to the corruption of several legions and spread chaos corruption throughout the real universe. No one is more evil than him. No one."

Qin Xia sat on a rock in the cave, looking at the bread while telling the story with a fierce look on his face - Angron recalled this scene, and his adoptive father's voice lingered in the Primarch's ears.

But the heart of Erebus before him was extremely clear, without any evil in it.

Angron asked tentatively: "Erebus, have you ever committed any sinful acts?"

Hearing this, Erebus had no idea why the Primarch was asking him this, but facing the Son of God, he knelt down as he usually did in the church of the Legion's flagship.

And repent.

"I have indeed committed evil deeds, Your Highness."

Erebus spoke slowly under Angron's perception.

"I confess my sins to you."

"When I was young, I lived the life of an ascetic, wearing the most ragged clothes and eating the rottenest food, and then I used the extra energy after survival to help others. I don't know that I have ever offended anyone."

“Then, when I returned home one day, my peers, whom I had offended for some reason, found me and wanted to kill me.”

"I strangled him when he resisted. Instead of reading his sins before God, or executing him in the name of God, I simply plunged a dagger into his throat like a murderer."

"Afterwards, because this peer did so many evil things, the priest encouraged me, but I still thought it was a sin that I could not wash away."

Erebus said this and raised his head.

There was doubt in the Son of God's eyes.

The other Son of God looked at the scene with impatience and sarcasm.

"Don't you learn the Imperial Truth?" Perturabo sneered. "Do you know that the Imperial Truth clearly emphasizes that there is no god in the sky worthy of human worship?"

"I know, Your Highness." Erebus knelt and bowed, "But the Empire teaches us to kneel and worship the gods on earth. When a group of mortals gathered on the starport to see the visiting Primarch, the Imperial bureaucrats would hold whips and teach them how to kneel to the Primarch in a standard manner."

Perturabo frowned.

“Get up,” Angron said.

Erebus did not beg for forgiveness, for he did not believe that his crime of strangling a fellow man could be forgiven.

This was the thought Angron sensed.

"We will meet up with the Legion's main fleet in two days," Erebas said.

"Then we'll give you two days." Perturabo walked past Erebus and headed for the command deck.

……

Three days later.

Accompanied by Erebus and others, Perturabo and Angron arrived at the Word Bearers flagship, the Law of Faith.

A group of people walked on the road leading to the Wanderer's Temple.

Angron recalled what he had seen and heard before arriving on the flagship.

The Law of Faith looks like a warship with a church, with a strong religious style. In the corridors of this flagship, mortals and space marines can be seen everywhere holding scriptures and reading.

On a Legion warship, Space Marines have a higher status than mortals, and mortals need to give way and salute when they meet Space Marines.

But aboard the Word Bearers flagship, no one shied away from the Space Marines.

The mortals simply exchanged a nod with the passing Space Marines and passed by.

Only when mortals saw Perturabo and Angron would they move aside and salute.

“It seems that the common people here have a good relationship with the Space Marines.” Angron said as he walked.

"All beings are equal under the gods." Erebus greeted a mortal with a smile, "It turns out that we Space Marines are also mortals, but we are fortunate to serve the gods."

Angron noted that Erebus was more amiable than his Word Bearers battle-brothers.

Just now, someone even came to Erebas with a child in his arms, hoping that Erebas could baptize his newborn baby. Erebas gladly accepted the request and said that he would definitely go there tonight.

During the conversation, they came to a fork in the road that was decorated with skulls and a large number of religious ritual items.

Erebus led the two Primarchs into the fork.

When he turned the corner, Angron suddenly saw an extremely magnificent and gorgeous cathedral.

Gold, silver, marble...all the materials that could be enjoyed by the nobility were used to decorate this cathedral.

In the square in front of the church, missionaries preached the holiness of the Emperor.

"Like I said, brothers and sisters, the God-Emperor! The Redeemer of Mankind!"

"The God-Emperor is omnipotent. He deeply loves every human being. Each of us is his child."

"Brothers and sisters, today's lecture is over."

The missionary closed the religious text and began to call on everyone to raise funds for some people who were in trouble.

Erebus ran over to donate the currency used in the flagship, then ran back to continue leading the way.

Everyone entered the cathedral called the Wanderer's Cathedral.

The moment he entered the gate, the chanting of various religious quarters reached Angron's ears, and the Primarch also saw his seventeenth brother.

Aurelion Lorgar was kneeling before the statue of the God-Emperor, mumbling scriptures.

Behind the Primarch were some mortals, the Astartes, who were also murmuring scriptures.

Just like other places on the flagship, the mortals here dress differently and have different statuses, but they can worship the God-Emperor in this most sacred place together with the Space Marines.

As Erebus said.

Under all gods, all beings are equal.

Anyway, Angron quite likes this tone of equality for all.

"Lorgar!" Perturabo's cry echoed throughout the church.

Lorgar murmured the last sentence of scripture, then stood up and walked in front of his two primarch brothers and saluted them.

As the Primarch approached, the mortals and the Primarch nodded to each other, and no one stood up or kneeled down because of the Primarch's approach.

"How dare you stay in this place by yourself and make us walk so far to find you?" Perturabo asked dissatisfiedly.

"Didn't my child tell me?" Lorgar looked at Erebus in confusion.

"Father." Erebus said helplessly, "I already told you that you were praying, but the Lord of the Fourth Legion was very eager to see you, so he didn't wait..."

Lorgar nodded and said to Perturabo, "Long time no see, brother."

Then Lorgar looked at Angron again. "This is our first meeting, but I have heard of your deeds for a long time. I am really looking forward to meeting you today. You can sense that, right, brother?"

Angron sensed that Lorgar was indeed looking forward to seeing him.

"There is no time for a meeting." Perturabo pointed outside the church. "We must rush to the front line of the war immediately. If you really want to join the war and support us, instead of coming all the way here to preach to the humans and greenskins in the galaxies on the border of the empire, then hurry up."

Lorgar's expression became serious: "We are now at the forefront of the empire. Tomorrow we will be able to reach Goron. The greenskin warlord in that place was just destroyed by you, right?"

When the Gojong warlord was mentioned, Perturabo was speechless.

"It was the Emperor who personally found me and ordered me to rush to the front." Lorgar's face was full of admiration when he mentioned the Emperor. "He praised your achievements more than once."

Angron simply nodded silently to end the topic of the Gojong warlord.

Then, Angron suddenly realized something and turned to look at the entrance of the temple.

A warrior who was obviously only half-reformed walked into the temple.

"Kor Phaeron, my adoptive father." Lorgar immediately introduced this latecomer to his brothers.

Angron looked toward Kor Phaeron.

The warrior came in front of everyone and saluted the primarchs first, then said to Lorgar: "Why didn't you send someone to tell me that such an important guest had come to the flagship?"

Angron sensed a strong desire for control from Kor Phaeron.

Angron sensed very complicated emotions from Lorgar.

Kor Phaeron was indeed Lorgar's adoptive father, but he abused Lorgar when he was very young, and wanted to control a Primarch in this way. Even though he has now accepted the transformation of a Space Marine into Lorgar's son, it is hard to say that this control plan has failed.

"You are more annoying than Qin Xia." Perturabo pushed Kor Phaeron away and walked out of the religious venue that made him feel disgusted.

Kor Phaeron looked toward Angron.

Angron did not sense the Chaos corruption that his adoptive father spoke of, but he could sense the negative qualities of humans, so Kor Phaeron's current "purity" was only temporary.

"Welcome to the Ullanor front." Angron turned around and patted Lorgar on the shoulder, then shook hands with Kor Phaeron and turned to leave.
