Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 471 Sacrifice
"Why don't we try again just now."

“Because we didn’t have to try.”

Qin Xia and Koz walked side by side on the road leading to the command deck.

The two were still in the Ullanor Palace one second, and returned to the Resolute Resolution the next second.

"The relationship between those greenskin guards and Urag is like the relationship between Gusa and the Blood Axe Commando Captain." Qin Xia recalled the scene just now. "They should have grown up together and been tempered in the war together, so their WAAAGH energy can be linked to fight against the influence of the Soulless."

Curze nodded in agreement.

"The Soulless Ones didn't play a big role. It would be a waste for us to stay there."

The guards on both sides of the command deck gate stood at attention and saluted.

Qin Xia and Koz walked through the gate and onto the command deck.

The Primarchs were watching the holographic image, and after seeing Qin Xia return, they were still keeping a close eye on the battle situation.

The landing battle on Umoja has begun. Strike cruisers are surrounding the entire satellite, dropping elite warriors from each legion onto the surface of the satellite.

The landing combat force will be composed mainly of the Iron Warriors who are best at siege warfare, and the elite forces of all other legions will be under the command of Trident and Perturabo.

The cables behind the Iron Lord's head help him process and send and receive vast amounts of information, allowing this suffocatingly controlling Primarch to control the entire battle situation.

Qin Xia walked silently with Koz to the holographic image and checked it with his psychic vision.

The fortress chosen as the primary attack point for the landing battle was the core of the entire battle for Umayyad.

The Iron Warriors and the Greenskins descended from the sky to seize the fortress.

The Iron Warriors were assisted by Space Marines from other Legions, and after the other five Primarchs had given clear orders to obey Perturabo, no Space Marine would choose to challenge or disobey the Iron Warriors in the landing operation.

What attracted Qin Xia's attention most was not the extremely fierce battle, but the performance of the 11th Legion Space Marines.

Those Sons of No. 11 who were always silent in battle used pheromones to communicate, giving Qin Xia the feeling that they were like gun-wielding, armor-piercing Tyranids... Of course, the Tyranids themselves were gun-wielding, armor-piercing.

The soldiers of the 11th Legion will complete any difficult order without hesitation. When the attack on the greenskin fortress faces setbacks, they will immediately gather together and use suicidal actions to open up the situation for friendly forces.

For example, when seizing the route leading to other structures from the center of the fortress, thousands of soldiers from the 11th Legion chose to storm in the face of the greenskin firepower. They rushed forward one after another, and died one after another, but they successfully covered the advance of friendly forces, allowing the Word Bearers behind them who shouted the name of the God-Emperor to destroy the greenskin positions and control the route.

"I don't want them to die." Perturabo frowned and looked at No. 11. "What happened to your offspring?"

"Provide redundancy." Number 11 stared at the Iron Lord. "You have never commanded the 11th Legion before, so you may think that my soldiers are unable to complete your orders and tend to be conservative when issuing orders... They will meet your expectations and drive you as much as you want."

Perturabo had mixed feelings.

"Someone always has to sacrifice for the collective."

Number 11 looked coldly at the holographic image of Ulysse Nardin and the company logos of the 11th Legion that disappeared one by one with the passing of each sun.

The emblem of the 11th Legion has no fancy decorations, only Roman numerals used to divide combat organizations.

Combat individuals are organized into combat clusters.

Individuals have no names, only code names like xx-sub-individual. After their sacrifice, they will not be remembered or commemorated, because in No. 11's opinion, consuming materials to commemorate the dead is a waste of resources. Perhaps this wasteful behavior can effectively boost morale and enhance cohesion...

But the 11th Legion does not need this method to boost morale and cohesion, so commemoration is a complete waste.

Mortarion said, "This is what you want, strong inside and out. Isn't this what you wanted the Iron Warriors to be like?"

Perturabo gave Mortarion a cold look and looked at Angron.

After sensing his brother's inner thoughts, Angron nodded silently.

The Lord of Steel chose to use orders to restrain the suicidal attack methods of the soldiers of the 11th Legion.

The soldiers of the 11th Legion were efficient and fearless, and indeed created advantages for the landing operation.

After witnessing all this, Qin Xia spoke up: "The decapitation operation failed... I must find a way to separate Emperor Ullanor and his imperial guards."

"You guys." Mortarion looked surprised. He raised his hand and pointed at Qin Xia, then at Curze. "You guys failed in the decapitation operation, but you still managed to get away alive? When you entered the command deck, I thought you didn't go down at all."

"You have no idea of ​​what this megalomaniac is capable of," Perturabo said.

Qin Xia was unusually silent at this time, and his expression was solemn.

As soon as Angron saw his adoptive father's expression, he knew that beheading Emperor Ullanor would be "extremely difficult".

"That was just a test." Qin Xia said, "When I'm ready, I'll take the blood drinkers down with me... and let them use the ancient relics."

Mentioning the ancient relics, Angron became more aware of the difficulty of decapitation warfare.

However, in Qin Xia's opinion, in order to successfully complete the decapitation operation, it is not enough to just make full preparations and bring blood drinkers and relics down. The gladiators using high knight equipment is only one step. There are many other things to do and more things to take out. When talking about the decapitation operation, 30% of the fortresses selected as the attack target on Wuweiyi have been captured.

These 30% are the core parts of the fortress and the traffic routes. Taking over this area is a prerequisite for the attacker to gain a foothold in the landing battle.

"The real show is just about to begin." Perturabo closed his eyes and transmitted several commands in succession.

Information rushed through the cables behind the Iron Lord's brain, reaching the fleets and more troops inside and outside Ulysse Nardin.

"Activate the teleportation function of your flagship's void shield!" Perturabo opened his eyes and shouted to Lotara Salin.

The hostess of the Resolute Resolve bowed slightly, then picked up the communicator to command the crew in the cabin where the void shield was located.

Perturabo had already remotely sent the teleportation arrangements to the equipment in the void shield compartment, and the highest-ranking officer calmly pressed the button to use the teleportation function to deploy more landing troops.

At this time, the flagship of the World Eaters Legion was being bombarded by massive anti-orbital weapons from the surface of Ulysse Nardin.

Those land-based cannons are equally deadly to warships, but no matter how large the anti-orbital concentrated fire is, it can be easily intercepted by the flagship's void shield.

The magical ancient void shield does not always form and maintain a barrier around the flagship, but can generate an energy barrier along the attack route through basic functions similar to "prophecy", and then deflect the attack into the subspace.

But the defensive function is only one of its many functions. Other abilities discovered by modern people include extremely stable large-scale subspace transmission, and using obsession to forcibly anchor the soul that has left the body in the real universe...

"I want to arrange a decapitation operation against the alien commander of the fortress." Perturabo immediately looked at Qin Xia, obviously wanting to use the magical power of his brother's adoptive father.

That kind of psychic spell that can open a portal at will is more useful than the teleportation function of the Void Shield of the Resolute Resolve.

Qin Xia nodded: "Arrange it. Also prepare a whirlwind torpedo for me to use for testing."

……

After a while.

The surface of Ulysse Nardin.

The portal opened in a corner of the fortress that was unknown to the beasts.

Qin Xia walked out of the wind and snow first, followed by not the think tank but the Primarch Guards of the 11th Legion.

There were eleven people in total, and they were not wearing Terminator tactical dreadnoughts, but Mark II power armor.

Qin Xia had no idea what Perturabo's intention was in arranging the eleventh Primarch's Guard to come with him, but considering that Perturabo was now the boss in this siege, he must have believed that this arrangement would not be just a random arrangement of a few people.

The eleven warriors took steps at the same time, with the same posture, walking like clones.

Seeing that the Lord of the White Knights did not catch up, the eleven warriors turned back at the same time.

Qin Xia is taking time to conduct tests.

This test is to throw a whirlwind torpedo that is about to be launched into the Ullanor Palace, and the whirlwind torpedo will appear in a corner that the beasts cannot detect at all.

When Qin Xia used the teleportation spell, the portal was opened smoothly just like the first decapitation operation, but the whirlwind torpedo suddenly disappeared after being sent over.

It was not until a small light appeared outside the low-Earth orbit of Ulanno-1 that Qin Xia, who was standing at the window of the fortress corridor looking up at the sky, knew where the torpedo had been sent.

The failure of the test did not surprise Qin Xia. He turned to look at the eleven guards who were staring at him and signaled them to continue on their way.

The portal opens directly at the place closest to the target.

After just passing through a long corridor in a corner of the fortress unknown to the beasts, the decapitation team arrived outside the hall where the target was.

All the orc warriors that could be mobilized nearby were attracted by the more intense fighting inside the fortress, and no orc noticed the approach of the uninvited guests.

The decapitation team immediately took action, breaking through the wall of the hall and rushing into the room.

The greenskin general who was commanding the defensive battle saw the sudden arrival, roared, kicked over the tactical sand table, and rushed towards Qin Xia with his guards, waving machetes.

A soldier of the Primarch Guard No. 11 rushed towards the general before Qin Xia, but was cut in half by the general.

The other guardsmen were fighting with the greenskin general's guards.

Qin Xia held up his spear against his sword, and just as he was about to use his spiritual power to kill the general in front of him, two bone spurs suddenly pierced through the general's head.

After taking a step back to avoid the corpse of the general that was falling down, Qin Xia took a closer look and realized that the person who killed the general was the guard soldier who had just been beheaded.

The guard soldier looked unharmed, except for the broken section at the waist of his armor, which was evidence that he had just been cut in half.

A bone spur protruded from the warrior's palms on each hand, and the blood of the green-skinned warrior stained on the bone spurs was being evaporated by the electric light of the strange creature.
