Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 481 The crowd is excited

"Imperial citizens of the perfect city."

At a nearby propaganda station, the sound of chanting scriptures was replaced by the cold voices of Space Marines.

Apparently the Space Marines who had landed directly near the propaganda agency quickly took control of the agency, and then used the locals' propaganda tools to speak to the people of Perfect City.

This was also the Primarch's arrangement.

At this time, the Perfect City was filled with voices coming from the radio or preaching airships.

"We are the World Eaters, the 12th Legione Astartes of the Imperium of Man."

"After the war against the aliens ended some time ago, His Majesty the Emperor of the Human Empire ordered His Majesty Angron, his twelfth son, to lead the army to Kull to carry out the mission of destroying the Perfect City."

"We will destroy the Perfect City. This is the decree of the Emperor himself. Your Highness Angron and we must strictly abide by the requirements of the decree."

"But we only need to destroy the Perfect City itself. The people in this city will be evacuated to other parts of Kuer. We will build temporary housing there to ensure that all of you have food, clothing, shelter, entertainment and other survival needs."

Mago heard the purpose of the World Eaters' arrival directly stated on the radio, and when he thought that this was the speech written by the Primarch himself, he could understand what the Primarch meant.

The people in Perfect City are not fools.

When the World Eaters demanded that everyone in the city evacuate, even if the locals could not see the outlines of the warships in the sky, they could guess that the city was doomed.

Speculation, speculation, and the uneasiness caused by these two kinds of thinking will destroy the crumbling order in the perfect city, so speaking out is a relatively good helpless choice.

At the same time, Margo recalled something.

Once upon a time, a group violence incident occurred in the lowest level of the Hound's Tooth ship space. It was caused by a promethium fuel leak. Because the ship manager did not come forward to prove the occurrence of the incident and explain it, this fuel leak incident that was quickly resolved became extremely outrageous due to various rumors.

Eventually people even thought the ship's engine was about to go out of control and explode.

The people at the bottom of the ship began to act in the anxiety caused by suspicion and speculation. They demanded to leave the bottom of the ship and even clashed with the ship's guards. The conflict was not settled until Mago returned to the ship after the battle on Ulano I and came forward to explain.

The truth is this.

But when people cannot accept the truth being spoken directly, the truth itself will only lead to consequences as bad as concealing it.

This is why the broadcast emphasized that it was the Emperor who ordered the destruction of the Perfect City.

At the same time, a patrolling gunboat carrying Space Marines in the sky projected a huge holographic image, on which was a decree document signed by the Emperor himself.

The Emperor was seen rebuking Lorgar's actions in a decree, and demanding that the World Eaters immediately march to Kor and destroy the Perfect City.

In this way, people were briefly pulled away from despair and shock and fell into confusion.

When the god that believers believed in demanded the destruction of the city of God, their first reaction was not resistance or anger, but pain, torment, and confusion at being betrayed by the idol they trusted and worshipped the most.

This is the case with most people in the Perfect City.

The regular mortal army was dropped into the Perfect City by landing ships, and the soldiers from Nuceria came to the area already controlled by the Space Marines and began to take the opportunity to implement the blockade plan.

Those who have already gathered will be surrounded and separated from those still in the building.

Some people were at home, in churches, or in various buildings. When they tried to go out to see what was happening, they were blocked in by soldiers.

Gunboats equipped with signal jammers patrolled the skies above. In order to prevent the Word Bearers from leaving military or even Space Marine communication equipment in Kull's possession, all communication signals were blocked, including those used by the World Eaters and the regular army.

But the good thing is that maintaining smooth communications under extremely difficult conditions is a basic skill of the Interstellar Legion, so it will not turn the Space Marines and soldiers scattered in the Perfect City into dumb and deaf people.

The wartime backup measures that Kiel had prepared for the current communication isolation came in handy. Messengers and short-distance encrypted communications were activated, as well as the most important step - the White Knight think tanks who could communicate with psychic power. These think tanks were already located throughout the Perfect City.

The purpose of this measure is to isolate communications and prevent organized and inflammatory individuals such as pastors from mobilizing people to engage in various acts of resistance.

After the communication isolation was completed, the propaganda words on the radio began to repeat.

After waiting for this long, Mago signaled a guard member beside him to take action.

The area where he was located was the square of the largest church in the Perfect City, where tens of thousands of people gathered to listen to lectures every day.

This is also the most difficult place in all the districts of the entire Perfect City.

"You have heard the broadcast, return home immediately to pack your bags and wait for instructions and arrangements for an orderly evacuation!"

"The material transport vehicle will arrive tonight to assist you in transporting the large and valuable items that are difficult to carry!"

"Obey the arrangements of the one you believe in!"

The words of the members of the Chapter Master's Guard were transmitted far away through the communication device, and the clanging sound with a slight noise broke the silence in the square.

People are still in shock.

Some people had already turned away in panic and despair, and when the pastors in the crowd saw one or two people leave, they frowned and thought hard, then took action.

"Our God will never abandon us! He will never abandon this city!"

"They are demons! They are bewitching us!"

"That decree is false!"

The pastor's roar was amplified by the microphone he carried on his chest and then transmitted to everyone's ears.

Although this reason sounds quite ridiculous, the pastors know that they must respond when it is time to respond, and whatever they say is much better than saying nothing, and they have appeal and cohesion. First, the most fanatical and determined people will respond, and then more people will follow suit - these pastors are people who have achieved class leaps through their words, and they certainly know this.

"Any priest here is a hundred times more powerful than the ship's housekeeper on the Hound's Fang." Mago recalled what happened on the Hound's Fang before and couldn't help but sigh in the internal short-range communication channel.

As the priests had expected, the people became agitated.

Curses such as devil and deceiver were heard constantly, and some objects were thrown out.

The Terminator Tactical Dreadnought Armor's defensive force field blocks all flying debris.

Mago moved his head slightly to the left, and with the fierce look that could be felt under the helmet, he made the guard member who was about to raise the assault gun put down his weapon.

When protected by a defensive force field, raising your weapon in the face of flying objects is undoubtedly an act that exacerbates the problem.

But Mago's next move also began. He conveyed his request to the Lord of the White Knight who was paying attention to the most difficult area of ​​Perfect City by talking to himself.

Then, some large anti-gravity aircraft swooped down from outside the atmosphere and hovered above the square.

The ring-shaped structure at the bottom of the anti-gravity aircraft gradually expanded, revealing thousands of racks inside, each of which was equipped with a humanoid machine.

The aircraft began to release humanoid robots one after another.

The machines fell from the air like dumplings, landing steadily in a hunched posture.

Until the start command was conveyed, the eyes of these machines glowed red, their hunched bodies stood up, their right hands swung, and electric batons popped out.

They came from Nuceria.

It was the security robot that had beaten up the Gene Father and the Blood Drinkers with twelve sticks in one second in the Desia Arena.

They certainly fall into the category of Iron Men in a broad sense, but their combat effectiveness is not strong, so the World Eaters have never used these security robots in any war.

It was not until the end of the Dawn Conflict, when the Imperial Senate replaced the War Council and established the Astartes seat, that Cyjanus raised the various demands of the World Eaters in the Senate.

Among these requirements was the part about security intelligent machines. After being strictly examined by more than a dozen sages of the Martian Mechanicus, the security intelligent machines were determined to be a type of intelligent control robot product that "has no intelligence and can only obey pre-programmed programs."

The Imperial Parliament then approved the manufacture and use of security robots.

This naturally involves the Lord of the White Knight's strategic planning of using the "Face Fruit" ability and interest exchange on Terra, but no matter what, the result is good.

"Back off immediately!"

"Back off immediately!"

The security robots issued cold warnings, gathered into three rows of iron walls, and slowly approached the crowd from all directions.

Things that would have hit the Terminator's defense field now hit the omnics, but the omnics will not be angered, they will only obey orders.

The crowd pushed and rushed forward, but they could not squeeze through the security robots.

Another team of security robots was deployed, and then gathered in a straight line, dividing the crowd in two.

Another team of intelligent machines was deployed, dividing the crowd into four groups.

The division continued like this until the people in the square were completely divided into groups of several hundred people in their futile resistance.

Only then did the intelligent machines enter the crowd, pick out people with charisma such as priests, and send them into the airdrop cabin behind Mago and others.

Of course, there was a lot of cursing and resistance during this period, but people were separated, and the security robots had a strong oppressive force. Even though the electric batons in their hands were turned into accessories at Mago's request, the peace-suppressing ability of that nearly one-ton iron lump was no match for the soldiers' physical bodies.

"I didn't mean to shoot just now, Chapter Master." The guard member who was about to raise his weapon said, "I know that even firing a warning shot is not a good idea, but I still want to respond, otherwise they will think we are easy to bully."

Margo was silent for a moment, then said, "Fortunately, everything was stable and nothing dishonorable happened. I really didn't want to open fire on a group of civilians."

The guards nodded one after another, and together with the Chapter Master, they recalled the illusion presented by the Lord of the White Knights, in which the Ultramarines opened fire on the crowd because they were hit by a bottle.

"In any case, it is not right to shoot at civilians because of a bottle. Maybe those civilians will not survive ten seconds under the grenade launcher, but someone will witness it and then trigger a chain reaction, completely destroying order and making things a mess." said a guard member.

"That Ultramarines reminded me of a motto of the Lord of the White Knights that I heard from the Director of the Think Tank's Great Library," Mago said, "The brain is not fully developed, and the cerebellum is completely underdeveloped."

"The words of the Lord of the White Knight are always so interesting and convincing."

"Which army doesn't have a few mentally retarded people who are easily affected by stress? There are similar people in our army as well."

"That Thunder Warrior Hal?"

"That may not be the case..."

"..."

Mago looked back at the knight mecha behind him.

In fact, he did have a plan for when things go out of control.

It would be best if we could control the situation like this without anyone dying, but if we have to...

That knight mecha can kill all the people here in the fourth second after opening fire, and then what happened here will not be spread out... This is the last measure, and it is also what Mago calls "dishonorable."

Fortunately, things didn't develop to that point here.
