Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 473: The Comprehensive World Eater

The landing battle on Umayyad continues.

Perturabo had no objection to Angron's handling of the 11th Legion's biochemical transformation, so after indirectly revealing the secret to Qin Xia, he continued to focus on commanding the battle.

The fortress chosen as the target has been completely controlled, and the greenskins on the satellite began to attack the fortress under the leadership of their respective warlords, intending to completely expel humans from the satellite.

The Iron Warriors' tridents and almost all of their troops were sent to the fortress as a priority.

The moment almost all of Perturabo's sons arrived at the satellite, it was inevitable that the attackers would gain a foothold on the satellite and it could not be reversed.

The Greenskin Fortress was defended and reinforced by the Iron Warriors.

Various weapons of incredible power were assembled in the controlled fortress.

A large area of ​​open space was cleared to be used as a landing point for subsequent landing troops.

Perturabo prioritized the deployment of the World Eaters' Titans and Knight Legions.

When the Lord of Iron's deployment order was conveyed, the emblems of the World Eaters Titan and the Knight Legion immediately appeared on the holographic image.

The Embers - The emblem of this Titan Legion certainly includes the fangs and teeth that are ubiquitous in the World Eaters Legion, but these fangs and teeth are printed on the wolf head emblem.

The Titan organization of the Cinder Wolves is different from that of other Titan Legions. There are no Titan levels ranging from War Hounds to War Admirals. Because the World Eaters were not assigned to Titan Legions but only received Titan manufacturing technology, the industrial world of Nuwei had to manufacture universal Titans so that the World Eaters Legion could have a Titan Legion-level combat organization as quickly as possible.

The universal model Titan is a war machine about thirty-five meters in height, with exceptionally broad shoulders and equipped with a large number of heavy weapons platforms.

Modularity is the main feature of the Numata Universal Titan. The modular armor and weapon slots allow the Universal Titan to select different equipment according to mission requirements.

The shortcoming of being unable to complete reconnaissance missions independently due to the lack of small reconnaissance Titans was filled by the mechas of the Knight Corps.

Nearly two thousand knight mechas are enough to complement the strengths and weaknesses of the Titan Legion.

Cooperating with the Titans and the Knight Legion in battle are the World Eaters who have undergone special training for coordinated operations.

After the reorganization of the Legion, each World Eaters Chapter has a professional company responsible for attack missions. They learn the tactics and strategies summarized by the Gene-Father from the experience given by Perturabo. They have a training method different from other companies in the Chapter, and have equipment and material supplies second only to the Chapter's most elite First Company.

Angron had specially established a rule very early on, that is, once the legion faced a large-scale war or large-scale siege operation that required the participation of all chapters, the siege companies of each chapter would need to be combined together into a temporary siege chapter.

Therefore, each regiment's assault company will also learn more detailed and specialized assault skills during professional training, just like the Iron Warriors, one battalion needs to fight head-on, and that battalion needs to be good at assembling and operating war machines.

This is equivalent to the World Eaters being able to put together a small army of iron warriors if faced with a tough siege.

After learning about these circumstances, Perturabo felt that although Angron's current siege capabilities were not as good as his, at least he was thoughtful and prepared for many things.

In order to execute the next combat plan, the assault force composed of World Eaters can only cooperate with the Titans and the Knights Legion. After all, the other legions have not received special training on how to coordinate with the general Titans and more than 2,000 knights in combat.

When all the troops that Perturabo had high hopes for were assembled, the order to attack the void shield array 170 kilometers north of the fortress was given.

However, the Iron Lord did not personally command this World Eaters assault force, but instead carefully arranged for the Iron Warriors to clear the way for the assault force through bombing and fire support.

"The assault force is made up of people from various regiments. Such troops often have a fatal problem, that is, the command system is unstable and prone to command confusion."

Mortarion spoke.

Angron sensed dissatisfaction from his brother, because Mortarion thought Perturabo would arrange for the Iron Warrior and the Death Guard to dismantle the void shield together, thereby gaining a decisive advantage in the landing operation.

"The assault force is indeed put together, but the command system is very complete." Angron explained in a deep voice, "It will be composed of the captains of each assault company and the Astartes civilian staff who specialize in studying the tactical experience of the Iron Warrior. Every order they give will be issued quickly within the specified time."

"Not to mention that this is still the most ideal situation, that is, the command team has strategic advisors from the Iron Warriors to assist."

Perturabo nodded silently after hearing this. This was why he handed over the command to the assault force itself.

As for the strategic advisor, he was sent over to take the position. In the wartime regulations formulated by Angron, there were detailed arrangements for discussion and decision-making. Dantioch would have voting power equivalent to that of three company commanders in the voting process before a strategic order was issued.

"What is the name of this temporary assault team?" Luo Jia asked.

"City Eater."

The name of the rebel army during the Nuceria Rebellion.

Inside the fortress, as the assembled World Eaters were standing in line, the "Nuwei I Kai" colossus command vehicle roared past everyone.

The command team stood on the highest open-air platform of the command vehicle, gathered together under the dark purple dome generated by the void shield and held up a flag together - the flag of the City Devourer Rebellion. This flag was embroidered by the civilians in the fortress for Angron and Qin Xia after the rebels took over the fortress of the Murray family.

This was a surprise for the liberators, and was secretly embroidered by the people who were liberated and became free people.

As there was no silk thread, they tore the few clothes they had on them into thread to sew the battle flag. The battle flag was tall and huge. All the people with sewing skills in the fortress territory took turns to make the battle flag before the next battle of the rebels.

The City Devourer's battle flag does not look exquisite, it can even be described as rough, and one can even see some dried blood on it where the sewer accidentally pierced his finger, but it is of great significance.

The moment the soldiers saw the battle flag, they became excited about fighting.

The Sons of Angron often regretted that they were not able to join the war to conquer Nuceria, and were not able to work with the Father of Genes to kill all the slavers and dig up their graves, but now, they feel that they have returned to that era, as if they can resonate with the young Father of Genes in the next war, and experience and understand everything that shaped their father!
The fortress exit slowly rose.

The neatly arrayed knight mechas took the first step, followed closely by the warriors of the temporarily formed professional assault team "City Devourers".

The universal Titans marched on both sides of the team, guarding the Nusa-1 modified command vehicle.

The City Devourer flag on top of the command vehicle shone brightly, and people seemed to be able to hear the roars of Nuceria's slaves for tens of thousands of years, as well as the wailings and screams of the High Knights and Guards' lackeys who were slaughtered - this was an illusion, and also a supernatural phenomenon that occurred when the reality structure was not strong. Which statement a soldier believed depended on the degree of his belief in the truth of the empire.

A salvo of tactical nuclear bombs and the Iron Warriors' super-heavy artillery opened up a relatively clear path for the City Devourers.

When the Green Sea came, the Devourers fought in coordination with the Titans and Knights as they had been trained to do.

Universal Titans equipped with different equipment play different roles at this time.

Titans with all their weapon slots equipped with long-range weapons are located on both sides of the command vehicle, and the firepower they unleash is equivalent to one-tenth of a frigate during orbital bombardment.

There are also general-purpose Titans specialized in melee combat that are responsible for quickly deciding the outcome in confrontations between Titan-class war machines. Most of their weapon slots are empty, and the modular armor slots are all equipped with light armor. They do not have strong defensive capabilities but are more compact and have low energy consumption, and they also have an integrated inertia compensation function similar to that of the God Titan.

This melee-oriented general-purpose Titan can rush forward to resolve the battle when facing green-skinned war machines of the same level, instead of two behemoths throwing firepower that can turn the tide of the war on each other's void shields, which is just scratching the surface of each other.

The efficient coordinated operations allowed the City Devourer assault force to advance like a hot knife through butter and reach the location of the Void Shield array.

The size of the void shield arrays made by the greenskins can be described as "terrain".

But the City Devourer does not need to destroy the entire array directly. It only needs to find a way to create a hole in the void shield. Then, as long as a hole that can accommodate a luminous spear is opened, the warships outside the orbit can completely destroy the entire array.

"Modularization is the future." Angron observed the strategic diagram on the holographic image and suddenly sighed, "To be honest, I think the power armor of all our legions has not been updated for a long time. Legions with scarce resources use Mark II, and those with more scarce resources use Mark III. But whether it is already in service or in testing, it is obvious that none of them is advanced enough."

"What do you mean?" Perturabo suddenly turned his attention to his brother. "Let the Astartes' power armor also be like the universal Titan, with the ability to change different armor functions according to the mission?"

"Yes, but this is just a hypothesis." Angron said, "After all, the legion has too many people, and modular design will greatly increase the pressure on logistics."

Perturabo agreed.

Qin Xia also agreed with this.

Belisarius Cawl was able to design modular Primal Power Armour and promote it on a large scale in later generations. Firstly, he had the endorsement of Regent Guilliman, and secondly, there were not many Chapter-type Space Marines at that time. Even if the Empire ten thousand years later was not as strong as it is now, it could still afford the increased logistical pressure of modular design.

However, this does not mean that it is impossible for all legions to implement modular design during the legion period. Certain legions with particularly strong logistical capabilities can certainly do so.

such as……

Ultramarines?

"Your legion is indeed versatile." Lorgar suddenly changed the subject to something unrelated to equipment. "I feel... as if you want your legion to be able to form several legions when necessary, such as the Iron Warriors, the Night Lords, or the World Eaters that focused on assault operations before the legion was reorganized."

Lorgar believed that the World Eaters would gradually become more all-powerful.

For example, the assault companies of each chapter can unite when necessary to form an assault force similar to the Dogs of War, just like the City Devourers.

Each chapter also has specialized companies responsible for decapitation operations and assassinations, and of course they can form an assassin corps similar to the Night Lords when necessary.

“Ha.” Angron chuckled and shook his head. “No, how can a legion be so omnipotent?”

The Primarchs looked at each other and thought that this was the truth.

No matter how versatile a legion is, it is impossible to be proficient in all war professions due to limitations on the abilities of its primarch, logistical supplies, and other reasons.

For example, how could the City Eaters, a makeshift assault force, be more professional than the Iron Warriors?
"..." Angron stroked his chin and was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "At least not for the time being."
