Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 483 The Truth
The command deck, the corpses, the pool of blood... everything seemed to collapse along with the corpses.

Erebus retreated into the past in great astonishment.

It was a night in Colchis.

Erebas had just left the church and gradually came to a deserted place. Then a figure gradually appeared in his sight. It was a child of the same age.

The boy came closer, his body emitting a foul odor that seemed to have not been washed for a long time, but he did not look poor, and gold ornaments could be seen on some parts of his body.

"Do you need help?" Erebus said to the boy.

This sentence is often the first sentence that Erebus often says when meeting someone. Providing selfless help is his habit.

The boy sneered as he slowly approached: "God bless you! Are you the good boy Erebus that everyone knows? I really need help!"

Erebus immediately stepped forward and reached into the package behind him to take out food and water.

The other party did not ask for food and drink, but on Colchis, eating and drinking themselves represented the kindness of the gods.

"Here." Erebus handed over the dry food and a bottle of water. "Are you looking for a place to stay? I know a pastor who is very kind and willing to selflessly help children like us."

"Which priest?"

"Eric."

"Oh, so you always refer homeless boys and girls like me to that venerable pastor?"

the boy asked with a sneer.

Erebus seemed a little dazed.

The two were silent for a second before the boy spoke softly, "You have defiled your god by sending children like me to hell. Well done, Erebus."

Erebas was even more confused and bewildered, but because he had helped too many people and witnessed too much suffering in the world, he suddenly realized what the boy of the same age who made him feel creepy meant.

"Help me," the boy said. "I don't mean to send me to that devil Eric, but really help me."

Erebus nodded: "How can I help you?"

"Give me your identity." The boy suddenly waved the knife.

Erebas only felt excruciating pain in his body, with confusion and instinctive thoughts of resistance in his head, but all this was meaningless because he couldn't even control his muscles due to the severe pain.

But then a surge of power emerged, and Erebus killed the boy.

When the severe pain in his body subsided, Erebus crawled over to check the corpse and saw that the boy's face had become exactly the same as his own, equally handsome, and with scriptures engraved on his face.

doubt.

Puzzled.

But there was no time to figure everything out. Erebus remembered what the boy had just said and immediately returned to the church.

There was a sudden blinding flash, and the entire command deck seemed to be thrown into the sun.

The bright light pulled Erebus out of his memories. When he endured the severe pain in his optic nerves to observe the bright light, what he saw was the second luminous spear launched from the flagship of the World Eaters Legion.

This was followed by the third and fourth shots...not only from the USS Resolute Resolution, but also from the cruiser USS Invincible Faith.

Erebus realized that the guy who looked exactly like him... no matter if this guy was resurrected from the dead or just another bad guy who looked like him, he killed everyone here and provoked a civil war.

"I'm Erebus!"

With his back to the porthole, Erebus picked up the communicator lying in a pool of blood and roared in a tone that was completely different from his usual calm and friendly attitude.

"Stop firing immediately!"

The people on the gun deck were naturally confused. The orders from the command deck changed every day, and these two orders came from the dedicated line of the captain's communicator. But since they were orders from superiors, they should be executed.

There were no questions due to poor tactical literacy, only the crisp orders from the artillery deck commander and the report after the order: "All light spear macro cannons have ceased firing!"

Erebus hung the communicator on his waist, thinking about what he should do to stop the civil war among the Imperial Astartes Legions, and immediately wanted to contact the legion's top brass.

But the next second, a gradually spreading blue light flowed across the command deck.

That was a sign that the void shield was gradually disintegrating.

Erebus turned his head sharply and looked toward the porthole.

A tiny spot of light suddenly appeared in the farthest field of vision, and then the light spot became larger and larger in the field of vision. All this happened in an instant, until the strong light stung Erebas' eyes again.

Erebus had no idea what would happen next.

……

The command deck of the HMS Resolute.

Qin Xia and Angron were teleported out together.

At this time, the situation on the command deck was orderly "chaotic". A large number of naval officers came to the command deck from all over the ship and ran back and forth.

Lotala Salina's roar transmitted through the loudspeaker echoed throughout the command deck from time to time.

The moment he was teleported out, Qin Xia saw the light spear fired by the Unwavering Determination brush past the right side of the bow of the Invincible Faith.

Apparently Salin had given the order to fight back.

This was absolutely the right move. As the flagship of the World Eaters, the Steadfast Resolve was attacked by warships from the Word Bearers. No matter what the reason was, Lothalazarin, as the captain, had to give the order to fight back.

This is a declaration to other warships in the Legion fleet, allowing the captains of other warships to immediately order their warships to prepare for the upcoming void war without any worries.

Even though the upcoming void war may not necessarily happen.

"Stop the bombing for now!" Angron walked towards Salin, "Give my father half an hour!"

Salin saluted the Primarch, and then conveyed the order to "reload the gun deck."

The Resolute Resolve stopped bombing and all the Light Lance Macrocannons entered the reloading state. Qin Xia opened the portal again after bringing the Primarch to the flagship.

The snowstorm spread and then dissipated.

The vast entrance and exit of the command deck of the Invincible Faith appeared in front of Qin Xia.

Also present were the Word Bearers gathered outside the command deck.

Rather than guarding the command deck, these Word Bearers were more like a World Eaters boarding party boarding the Invincible Faith to attack the command deck, with their bolters all aimed at the command deck.

And from the command deck came a roar: "I didn't kill anyone! It wasn't me!"

When Qin Xia appeared, the Word Bearers looked back.

Considering the current situation, the Word Bearers raised their grenade launchers and aimed at Qin Xia, who they thought was more like a boarding pass.

Qin Xia waved his hand gently, commanding dozens of Word Bearers outside the deck to freeze in place. White psychic light flowed on the surface of their armor like electric currents. The bodies of the superhuman warriors under the heavy armor were trembling in the paralysis brought by the psychic energy.

"I didn't kill them!"

The roar continued.

Qin Xia walked through the Word Bearers and came to the command deck.

Three Word Bearers officers were seen confronting Erebus.

The latter's head was covered in blood.

Qin Xia guessed that Erebus was probably thrown out by the vibration caused by the light spear brushing against the hull just now, and hit his head somewhere.

The three officers and Erebus all saw Qin Xia's sudden arrival. The former looked at his subordinates who were bound by psychic energy outside and realized that the psychic power of the Lord of the White Knights was enough to kill everyone present, but he did not do so. The reason for coming to the Invincible Faith was probably not to carry out a decapitation operation.

So the three officers dropped their weapons and cleared the way.

"The Word Bearers have no intention of attacking the World Eaters."

"Please find a way for the top leaders of our two legions to contact each other and stop the impending civil war."

The officer looked at Qin Xia walking past him and spoke anxiously.

"Your legion's warships are also preparing for battle and assembling." Qin Xia glanced at the scene outside the porthole.

The Word Bearers warships that have arrived in the current system are rapidly gathering.

"If civil war begins amid misunderstandings, the Word Bearers cannot wait to die!"

"..."

Qin Xia ignored the officer and came to Erebas.

The corpse on the ground explained part of the information on behalf of the emotional Erebus.

Obviously, the officer and five other Word Bearers on the command deck were all dead, and Erebus was the only survivor on the command deck, so later Word Bearers believed that it was Erebus who killed the others and gave the order to open fire with the intention of provoking a civil war.

"Calm down." Qin Xia stopped and said, "Tell me what happened."

"I... I joined the monitoring team and came to the Invincible Faith. This cruiser is heading to your legion..."

Erebas was very excited, but he had missionary experience after all, so his speech was quite coherent and clear.

"For some reason, the other five members of the team left before me. When I arrived on the Invincible Faith, I saw that they were all dead."

"Killed by me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the officer shouted, "You admitted that you killed the others! The confirmation process on the gun deck has been completed. The voice that gave the order to fire is compared with your voice and the result is that the voiceprint is 100% consistent!"

"You don't understand at all!" Erebus was misunderstood and became emotional. He finally roared, "I just told you that it wasn't me. It was someone who was thought to be me and looked exactly like me!"

"You are the only one who survived. If not you, then who else could it be?"

"no!"

"..."

The psychic energy shock suddenly spread in all directions, and everyone present felt as if they were suddenly thrown into a storm.

The officer, Erebus, they were all pushed back several steps, and only managed to steady themselves when their power armor boots were completely fixed on the ground.

The impact suddenly dissipated.

"I told you to calm down!" Qin Xia stared at Erebas. "I know what you mean is that someone who looks like you killed everyone present. Where did that person go?"

Hearing Qin Xia's understanding, Erebas showed an expression of disbelief on his face.

Although this was true, he never expected that Qin Xia, who also had information gap, would believe him at the first moment.

"I killed him and his body melted after his death," said Erebus.

"Okay." Qin Xia nodded. "For easy identification, I will call that other you "Aribati" for now."

Erebus nodded vigorously.

"Go back and tell the highest commander of your Word Bearers Legion in this galaxy to stop the fleet from assembling immediately." Qin Xia turned and looked at the officer.

The officer looked at his other two colleagues again, nodded silently, and then pointed to a warship outside.

Qin Xia immediately teleported the officer over and also conveyed the situation here to Angron.

The Word Bearers warriors outside were no longer bound by psychic energy, and just stared at Erebus with eager eyes.

Qin Xia did not leave immediately. Instead, he pulled a table behind him and sat at the entrance and exit of the command deck.

The Lord of the White Knights said nothing and waited patiently.
