Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 454: Word Bearer

……

On the world where the technological warlord is located, several void shields covering the planet are operating at full power.

But this time, the human side is not going to use the Space Marine method to solve the problem of the planet protected by the void shield, but is going to adopt a more direct approach.

Forging Engine - This huge ship has many highly automated control systems inside, and only a Golden Age engineer is needed to control it.

The ancient giant ship, surrounded by three legion fleets, jumped out from the Mandeville point of the galaxy and approached the planet.

According to the original naval combat plan, the three legion fleets began to gradually move away from the forging engine to deal with the greenskin fleet in the galaxy.

It doesn't matter what the fleet does, just stay away from the forge engines.

The ancient giant ship approaches the target planet alone.

The engineer in the control room picked up the "Modern" communicator with a bit of helplessness and said, "Stay away from the casting engine. The gravity balancer is about to be shut down."

"3."

"2."

"1."

"closure."

The engineer tapped a button.

With a roar, a device somewhere in the ancient giant ship suddenly failed and entered a cooling state.

The ancient warship's state at the gravity level is no longer unaffected by its surroundings.

The surface ecology of the planet not far away was completely destroyed, the land plates were torn out and lifted into the air, exposing a large number of underground facilities built by the greenskins.

If the warships surrounding the forging engine had not moved away from this behemoth, the three legion fleets would have been completely destroyed the moment the gravity balancer was turned off.

Gravity is not selectively biased towards the casting engine, but the casting engine still has some basic gravity functions, which cannot be turned off and do not need to be turned off.

In the current scenario of using gravity as a weapon, those basic gravity functions can ensure that only the planet is disintegrating, and not the forging engine.

"We are not going to destroy this world, we still need it as a transit point on the transportation route." Quadrant contacted the engineer.

"Okay." The engineer pressed the button and the gravity balancer was activated again.

The state of the planet not far away appears to be pulled and kneaded, and maintained. Only the small fragments move under the influence of the planet's own gravity, forming an astronomical landscape that may be shocking when viewed from close up.

Mission over.

The engineer crossed his legs, picked up an ancient food that the emperor had given him when he met him, opened the package and started to eat.

As early as after Brown, Quadrant and the Orina sisters jointly developed a kind of food, engineers no longer had to rely on ancient food to survive. But there was no way, the emperor had given it all, it would be a waste not to eat it.

When a person consumes enough resources to feed an army company of thousands of people just to digest and excrete food, it is difficult for that person to avoid unnecessary frugal behavior out of guilt.

Why do people who have been enhanced by human's top genetic modification technology still need to eat? The engineer himself would also wonder this. He has seen modified humans who don't need to eat. They are creations that completely defy the rules of reality. They completely rely on the subspace to achieve self-circulation. They are immortal and extremely powerful.

But even in ancient times, not every human being was qualified to enjoy that level of transformation technology. As long as it was not a creation of subspace technology, one had to find a way to improve energy intake and utilization, unless one chose to abandon biological nature and directly install a "furnace" in the body.

The Federation does not allow the abandonment of biological nature, but in the dark corners where the Federation cannot control, it doesn’t matter.

……

Resolute Resolve.

The nearly shattered green planet has completely made it impossible to use normal geographical concepts for strategic planning, and the planet is automatically divided into several quadrants by the tactical table.

Quadrants 1 to 3 are a large amalgam of land plates that have been floating in the void, with a large number of greenskin facilities on the surface and inside. Thanks to the supernatural WAAAGH energy, these facilities can still function normally.

Quadrant 4 is the bulk of the planet.

The gravity disaster still destroyed many important structures and facilities on the planet, which relieved a lot of pressure on the attackers. Otherwise, the Word Bearers would not be able to take down a greenskin world that had been hollowed out and built with layers of defenses.

"Can we begin the attack?" Lorgar turned and looked at the Word Bearers officers.

The officers had already discussed a specific strategic plan and nodded to indicate that it could be implemented.

"Start the attack." Lorgar nodded.

The Word Bearers officers left the command deck, and Kor Phaeron was about to leave, but before leaving, he suddenly proposed to Angron: "I hope your father can provide us with some help..."

"It's my honor." Qin Xia put on his helmet and walked past Kor Phaeron.

Angron sensed that Kor Phaeron simply felt that having a super psyker to help would be more efficient, and he did not have any malicious intentions.

But I’m afraid…

After a little thought, the Primarch decided that his adoptive father would make the right decision, so he stopped thinking and calmly watched the fighting style of the Word Bearers. Angron thought he must remember the fighting style of the Word Bearers.

If the Word Bearers ever became enemies, they would pose a devastating threat.

It’s a good idea to do some more preparation now.

On the tactical table, the Word Bearers strike cruiser broke away from the Legion fleet and headed towards its assigned combat location.

Those planetary structures without void shield protection were directly destroyed by the fleet using light spears and macro cannons, while the planetary structures in the first three quadrants that still had functioning void shields needed to be cleaned up by the Space Marines themselves.

The Jagged Sun Chapter's drop pods were launched from the strike cruisers.

The Space Marines of the Jagged Sun Chapter rushed out of the airdrop pods and quickly cleared an area for subsequent troops to land.

Then a chapter called the Throne of Bones joined the battle. These Word Bearers, who were good at large-scale head-on battles, brought with them mortal auxiliaries. The superhumans and mortals who were inspired to fanaticism by the belief in the God-Emperor were able to match the Greenskins in terms of fighting momentum and even numbers.

The Serrated Suns of the Word Bearers were best at airdrop strike operations, but their combat level was certainly not comparable to that of the War Hounds who specialized in assault tactics before Angron's return.

The Throne of Bones excels at head-on combat, and its combat level is naturally no match for the Death Guard and the Iron Warriors.

But a legion has those who are good at assault operations and those who are good at head-on combat. Even if they are not as good as War Hounds or Death Guard, this kind of systematic combat capability combined with each other is enough for the Word Bearers to defeat a legion that specializes in a certain tactic.

When he saw the cooperation and battle between the Jagged Sun and the Throne of Bones, Angron thought... if he didn't reorganize the Legion, and the World Eaters were just a different name from the former War Hounds, then...

One day, the Word Bearers will be able to crush the World Eaters with ease.

It was like a giant facing a wolfhound and smashing its fangs with one punch.

"I thought the adaptation of the World Eaters would be the same as that of the Word Bearers." Lorgar suddenly said, "Each chapter will be responsible for one tactic...but I didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect that a company of a Chapter would be responsible for a single tactic, did you?" Perturabo looked at his two brothers. "Any normal person would know that this should be changed. Anyway, the three of us have high-yield gene seeds and are stable... But we don't have Nu, nor do we have that mobile forge world."

Angron sensed that after hearing what Perturabo said, Lorgar thought: Olympia is only one world, one star system, so it is understandable.

But the Word Bearers control as many worlds as Guilliman, but do not have such strong production capacity.

"Others say that there is no difference between Nuceria and Ultramar, but I would say there is a big difference." Lorgar expressed his feelings, "In Ultramar, every world has a certain degree of production capacity, while in Nuceria, most worlds are only able to ensure their own survival, and the main production responsibility is still borne by Numata I."

"This means that in the war, even if Nukeria only has one Nukeria system left, it can still fight back."

"Nukeria and Numata are like Terra and Mars."

As he spoke, Luo Jia couldn't help but have doubts in his mind.

"How do you, Nuceria, maintain good relations with Numata? You know, there are always open and covert struggles between the Empire and the Mechanicus..."

Angron thought about it in silence, and finally decided that there was nothing to hide.

So I answered directly.

"Because Nuceria and Numatra are true cooperative allies."

“But that’s only part of the story.”

"There are some puzzling issues with Nusa, like maybe they have historical reasons for being extremely egalitarian, or... "

"But overall, compared to the medieval scholar concentration camps on Mars with a master-apprentice style, Numata should be more efficient, and this is the bigger reason."

After Angron's explanation, Lorgar thought back to the situation on Mars.

It was indeed a concentration camp.

From the casting general to the lowest-level slave worker, there was no one who was not a poor creature who had endured the purgatory-like torture in that concentration camp. The only difference was that some people would be tortured to the point that their souls entered the subspace, while others would become hell itself after being tortured for a while.

Mars is not only a heresy, but also a hell. It exists in the place closest to the grace of the God-Emperor, like a pile of shit under the statue in a polished cathedral. Even its existence itself is a mistake that needs to be eradicated urgently - Angron heard Lorgar say this in his heart.

As the Primarchs spoke of Mars, new Word Bearers combat units were being deployed into the four quadrants.

The exception is the Broken Scythes, a chapter that is extremely good at gaining crushing advantages over the enemy in a limited space. It is only deployed in the first three quadrants and is specifically responsible for fighting bloody battles with aliens in the greenskin facilities.

The shattered structure of the planet, which is only the size of a ship, is the first quadrant, which has been completely occupied by the Word Bearers.

The Word Bearers began clearing the structure in order to allow it to serve as an outpost on the Imperial supply route in the future.

A chapter called the Judgment Stars took on this task part-time. Like the Ultramarines' Nemesis Chapter, they were equipped with a large number of destructive weapons. These weapons did not consider whether they would cause pollution, whether they were dangerous or cruel, but only considered performance and the ability to turn a war zone into a scorched earth hell.

After the battle in the First Quadrant was completely over, the Word Bearers Chapters, led by the Triple Crown Chapter, began to storm the Fourth Quadrant, the largest remaining structure on the planet.

The Triple Crown Chapter is the main force, equivalent to the World Eaters' Champions Regiment. These elite warriors enjoy the right to use the most advanced weapons and equipment.

Angron, observing the tactical table, thought that his father, who was directly involved in the battle, could see the real battle scene instead of some thumbnails. After the war, he should ask him more questions.
