Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 482 Persuasion

……

A week passed by.

The people of Perfect City are gradually being controlled.

Priests were sought everywhere and stuffed into the drop pods that the World Eaters arrived in, which then took off and returned to the cruisers, where the priests were taken out and locked up.

The media controlled by the World Eaters actively broadcast the search for priests and publicly announced all captured priests and their whereabouts.

The Perfect City is filled with fanatics who choose to act alone when unable to contact others, and raid Space Marines or Nuceria soldiers through suicide attacks.

Occasionally, a gunshot would be heard in the city.

The final evacuation phase has arrived.

The believers have been forced to "calm down" until now. They will not leave honestly just because the World Eaters have restrained themselves, nor will they do nothing just because their channels of contact with others have been cut off. They will still resist, even if it is in vain.

According to the evacuation plan drawn up by Angron, the square of the largest church in the Perfect City was chosen as a temporary airport.

Transport planes gathered at the airport.

Those in the area closest to the cathedral began to evacuate first, and the Space Marines and Nuceria soldiers cooperated to search house by house, bringing the people inside out and sending them to the square.

Those who would give up resistance just by being beaten and kicked walked away on their own.

Those who refused to compromise despite being bruised and battered were tied by Nuceria soldiers to the food transport vehicles.

In short, just find a way to take people to the airport.

The evacuation began when the number of people gathered in the square reached the 10,000 clearly stated in the Primarch's order.

"They don't look easy to deal with."

"True, but I brought help."

Angron and Qin Xia walked out of a gunboat, followed by the Orina sisters.

The two sisters were always protected by the psychic barrier cast by Qin Xia to avoid accidents.

The four of them came together to the separated group of people.

Qin Xia first infused spiritual energy into the surrounding environment to weaken the structure of reality.

Angron was sensing everyone here, making sure those who wanted to create conflict were screened out immediately.

At the same time, people's roars and curses also reached their ears.

"Devil! Demon!"

"Don't even think about asking us to leave! Don't even think about asking us to give up the City of God to you, you damned demons!"

"You are the traitors who betrayed the will of the God-Emperor! The Word Bearers Angels are not!"

"..."

People tried every possible way to attack the surrounding security robots.

of course.

They had long discovered that the security robots were powerless, so they chose to express their protest in another way.

In addition to lying on the ground or hugging each other and refusing to leave, some people directly started to self-harm, digging their eyes or biting their arms.

But after being searched by soldiers, it was difficult for them to use tools to effectively carry out this act of resistance.

In short, people are very resistant.

"Quiet."

The Olena sisters said in unison.

Their unique innate psionic gifts have the ability to make the weak-willed obey their orders.

At this time, the structure of reality is weakened, and this ability is naturally strengthened.

But there are quite a few believers who are not affected. Their wills are too strong, and their faith in the Emperor of God is above all else. They can even restrain their biological instinct and do things like dig out their eyes. Naturally, they are not necessarily affected by the Orina sisters.

But Angron resonated the emotions, and this action made the feeling of being controlled spread among the crowd, so the psychic power of the Orina sisters was naturally more effective.

"Quiet."

When they emphasized it again, everyone present calmed down instantly.

It doesn't dig its eyes, doesn't bite itself, and doesn't smash the intelligent machines... It's like a puppet.

"Get in line for boarding."

People immediately gathered together and lined up to enter the cabin.

The transport vehicles carrying their luggage and belongings were the last to enter the cabin.

"Just repeat this process." Qin Xia looked at the Oulina sisters, "Thank you for your trouble. I will give you some rewards later."

"What reward can you give?" Olena looked unhappy. "Teaching my sister how to make useless inventions doesn't count."

"You'll know when the time comes." Qin Xia smiled and motioned for them to continue.

When the next group of people gradually gathered together, Qin Xia suddenly spoke about something.

"The Emperor is heading to Kour with the Word Bearers Legion."

"He told the Word Bearers directly that the Perfect City would be destroyed, and then said: You all follow me to Kull, and kneel in the ruins of the Perfect City."

"The most imperial way of dealing with people and things."

After listening to his adoptive father's words, Angron said, "Send them another message in the Star Message. Tell them that I want the Word Bearers to arrange an evacuation supervision team, with Erebus as the team leader, to come to Kull to supervise the evacuation process."

"Erebus?" Qin Xia raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, he is relatively peaceful. Although he is a fanatic, he is the one who is relatively easy to get along with among the Word Bearers fanatics." Angron nodded. "The Word Bearers are bound to come to Kuer anyway. It is better to find an excuse to arrange some things for them and give them some suggestions than to just leave them alone and watch."

Qin Xia nodded in agreement, then responded to Xingyu.

"In my opinion, what the Emperor did was excessive." Angron suddenly sighed, "Erebus is not the Erebus you said. Perhaps many things would not have happened, and there would be no butterfly effect."

"If you ask me," Qin Xia shrugged, "If Eribas isn't there, there's still Eribati. Maybe Eribati has a follower called Baby Gou. They are pawns of the gods, not bad guys with free will. It's always right to guard against them."

Angron frowned, thinking about it. That was true.

……

after a while.

Gradually, Word Bearers warships arrived in the system, and these warships arrived faster for some reason.

A total of more than thirty cruisers gathered together, staying far away from the World Eaters Legion fleet - just like their attitude towards the World Eaters.

The Invincible Faith cruiser.

The gunship's cabin door slowly dropped, and six Space Marines dressed in medieval Terran religious monk costumes walked out of the cabin.

Erebus was at the front of the other five battle brothers. Being familiar with the Invincible Faith, he acted as a guide and led his brothers to the command deck.

"The evacuation supervision team? The Primarch sent us to respond to the invitation of those bastards, the Shit Eaters, and go to the planet Kul to observe the destruction of the Perfect City... They said they wanted us to supervise the evacuation and raise objections to the Shit Eaters' actions during the evacuation, but this is actually just a show of force."

"Our Primarch, our Legion, we helped them win the title of Warmaster, and they did this to us."

"Who said it wasn't? A bunch of damn things."

The fighting brothers talked openly.

Erebus remained silent, frowning as he stared at the massive fleet of the World Eaters outside the corridor window.

Which warship would launch the light spear to destroy the Perfect City? Erebus wondered.

In the end, the pain forced him to give up guessing.

"Brother Erebus!" the battle brother behind him shouted, "Don't be silent, say something!"

"This is the will of the God-Emperor, brother." Erebus continued to lead the way without looking back. "In my opinion, this is actually a test. Do you remember? The Thousand Sons once shared the ancient Terra book, which recorded a believer being tested by the God in a deliberate way."

“What that believer has earned by passing the test through piety and steadfastness is God’s favor and trust.”

"If this is not a test from the God-Emperor, then it would not be the World Eaters who come here to deal with the Perfect City, but the Space Wolves. And it would not be just the Perfect City that would be dealt with, but our Word Bearers Legion."

At this point, Erebus made a prayer gesture: "Praise the Emperor."

"Praise the God Emperor!"

"Praise the God Emperor!"

The battle brothers were all convinced by Erebus that this was indeed a test.

The Space Marines entered the command deck.

"Get closer to Kul." Erebus ordered the captain who was performing the Eagle Salute.

The Invincible Faith immediately approached Kul, and at the same time approached the flagship of the World Eaters.

At this moment, Erebus suddenly knelt on the ground, and his voice echoed in the command deck.

"We are being tested by the God-Emperor! Brothers and sisters."

"We will be the last people in the Legion to see the Perfect City. Let us pray while watching the Perfect City."

Then everyone on the command deck knelt down one after another and began to pray.

The sound of chanting echoed throughout the command deck.

While reciting scriptures, Erebus stood up and motioned for the captain to hand over the communicator to him.

According to the procedure, the Invincible Faith should indeed contact the World Devourers, and this should naturally be done by the person with the highest status on the ship at the moment.

So the captain handed the communicator to Erebus.

"If I have no doubts, then the Emperor of God will protect me."

Erebas recited the last verse, picked up the communicator and gave orders.

"Attack the Resolute Resolve."

After giving the order, Erebus drew his sword and beheaded the five fighting brothers who had just raised their heads.

After swiftly dispatching his battle-brothers, the most devout of the Legion, a confidant of the Primarch, drew his bolter and shot everyone present.

Erebas stood in a pool of blood, quietly looking at the scene outside the porthole.

Although the people on the gun deck were confused, they still resolutely carried out the orders from the command deck.

The Invincible Truth slowly turned, aiming the port side with the most gun positions towards the World Eaters flagship.

A moment later, light spears, macro cannons and torpedoes were fired at the same time.

The Resolute Resolve did not seem to activate the void shield, but all those attacks were blocked by the sudden appearance of the regional purple light curtain.

But it doesn’t matter.

Erebus threw away the communicator and quietly watched the scene where the World Eaters' warships began to gather.

At this moment, the command deck gate suddenly opened.

Erebus turned around and saw a face full of scriptures, confusion and fear.

That was another Erebus.

"Hahahahaha..."

A low laugh came from the mouth of Erebus lying in a pool of blood.

A hideous smile gradually emerged on the handsome face stained with the blood of his battle brothers and naval officers.

The voice suddenly rose: "It's—really—fun! Hahahahahaha!"

Outside the command deck, Erebus drew his bolt pistol and opened fire.

Erebus was shot in the chest and fell in a pool of blood.

"How could it be..." Erebus walked into the command deck in disbelief, squatted down and checked "his body", "I killed you a long time ago!"

He saw himself lying on the ground in a pool of blood, his left hand pressed against his chest, and his right hand behind his waist due to the impact of the bomb piercing him.

The body gradually melted away.
