Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 492 Crisis of Trust
"Bye~~"

Aribati looked at the escape capsule outside the gate that was gradually moving away from the flagship, raised his right hand and waved his five fingers in a feminine way, smiling brightly, as if a girl was saying goodbye to her boyfriend who was about to leave.

The escape pod gradually disappeared from sight, and Aribati's face instantly turned expressionless, numb and indifferent. He turned around and walked towards the Principal's office.

After entering Horus' office, Bad Seed pulled out a blue gem.

A faint blue flame appeared on the surface of the gem, and according to Aribati's will, it pointed out where the thing he was looking for was.

Following the guidance of the gem, Aribati opened the filing cabinet, took out a document, and then flipped it open to examine it carefully.

This document is a series of plans that Horus has made for Interres.

Interres will negotiate peacefully with the Human Empire, resolve differences peacefully, and merge into the Human Empire.

Go to Interseth and go to war with the Empire.

In short, Horus has plans for everything that might happen next.

Aribati did not want to see those contingency plans about peace. What he wanted to see was the contingency plan that Horus had made for such a situation: what to do if the people of Interres chose to join the Empire, and the alien forces in Interres chose to leave Interres and declare war because of their distrust of the Empire.

And there is also a most extreme situation in this plan.

That is, no matter what, the Human Empire and the members of the Interres alien race cannot coexist. In this case, how to solve the problem from the most fundamental level.

Erebus filmed this part and then went to the communication device on the desk.

The Bad Seed opens his mouth and a green creature crawls out of his throat.

This creature appears to be covered in pustules, has irregular fleshy tentacles, and is covered with maggots, but its appearance is similar to that of a walkie-talkie.

It's like a walkie-talkie made of flesh instead of mechanical parts.

Aribati picked up the little creature and placed it on the communication device.

The creatures immediately began hacking into the communications system.

The communication was cracked, disguised, and sent out, and the signal was from the personal communication terminal of an alien high-ranking official in the Inters world.

It took the creature several minutes to crack the receiving function, allowing messages to be sent and received on the non-diplomatic channel of the communication equipment.

Then the firewall of the personal communication terminal of the senior alien executives of Inters detected the intrusion and began to counter-cracking.

When Aribati saw the cute green creature suddenly tremble and fall down, he realized that the "Nurgle computer virus" had been killed.

"Counterattack the psychic virus?" Aribati smiled helplessly, "The Interres people are really good at dealing with us."

In any case, Horus' most brutal plan had been sent out.

Aribati completed his attempt and picked up the gem burning with a blue flame and aimed it at the wall in front of him.

A miniature subspace rift was opened, revealing a bizarre scene inside the subspace.

Without any protection, Aribati stepped into the subspace, and the ferocious creatures in the subspace immediately swarmed in.

But then a red light flashed, and all the creatures in the warp were expelled.

"Next step." Aribati strolled in the subspace and raised his hand gently.

The red light turned into a scarlet bloody sword and fell into the hands of the bad seed.

Aribati stretched out his hand with the ring, and the rift from the subspace to reality was opened again, and outside the rift was the world of Inters.

This is a city, which has both the square architectural style of humans and the arc-shaped architectural style of some soft-bodied alien creatures.

The city air is fresh, clean and tidy.

"Um……"

Airibatti was in the alley, took a deep breath of air, and sighed as he walked towards the museum not far away.

“The sour stink of sanity and peace.”

……

Inters Border World Conference Hall.

On both sides of a rectangular conference table sat personnel from the Human Empire and Inters.

Directly opposite Horus was the world leader named Tur.

"Chaos is the number one enemy of all living beings in our real universe."

"Hatred, killing, oppression... these will all be breeding grounds for Chaos' influence."

"Inters does not want to resolve the differences and conflicts between the Empire and the Human Empire through war. We also know what kind of cause the Human Empire is carrying out, but we hope that Inters can influence the Empire to a certain extent and make the Empire aware of the consequences of the various extreme behaviors in the Great Crusade."

Tours spoke sincerely in that musical language.

Horus could guess that Inters must be aware of the existence of the Empire, and had a plan for what to do after encountering the Human Empire.

Interres does not need to rely on the opportunity of exchanging information just now to understand the Human Empire. They are actually giving the Human Empire the opportunity to understand Interres.

"You, the people of Intres, are kind but not foolish. You are aware of the crisis and have dealt with those alien races that cannot be communicated with appropriately." Horus said, "I can make such a promise now, that is, if Intres chooses to peacefully merge into the Empire, we will ensure that all citizens of Intres will have the right to survive."

Tur talked to other human or alien colleagues for a few words, and then said on behalf of the others: "We are pleased that you can make such a commitment as one of the highest military commanders of the human empire."

Horus smiled and nodded, then continued talking.

But at this moment, an alien bureaucrat suddenly picked up the communication device to check it. The Primarch could see that the alien had extremely obvious emotional fluctuations, and his heartbeat speed increased several times.

"What happened?" Horus asked the alien bureaucrat.

"The giant spider monster seems to have escaped from the prison world." The alien bureaucrat replied with a wry smile, "I will deal with this matter now. In addition, this incident happened just in time, and I hope to make you understand that even an alien race like the giant spider monster has the right to survive..."

The Primarch determined from the sound of the alien's heartbeat that it was lying.

With Inters's technological level, how could it be possible for the giant spider monster to escape from the prison world?

But it is normal to have concealment and secrets. After all, Inters has not yet been incorporated into the Human Empire, and there is no need to make everything public and transparent.

"If necessary, my legions will fight alongside the warriors of Intres." Horus pretended to believe.

"On behalf of the people of Interres and the giant spider monster race, thank you for your enthusiasm." The alien bureaucrat smiled and nodded, thanked him sincerely, and turned to leave.

And at the moment of leaving... Horus didn't know if it was his illusion, the smile on the alien bureaucrat's face turned cold and serious.

Horus sensed something strange and had some bad associations, so he subconsciously thought about the situation on his side.

In order to show enough sincerity, all the people he brought with him sat at the conference table. If a conflict occurred, they would inevitably be surrounded by Inters warriors.

But Horus was not without a plan. In case of a conflict, he would of course have to negotiate first. If the talks failed, he could break through with just himself and his descendants present...not to mention that Angron's adoptive father was also on this planet, just not in the conference room.

While thinking about these things, Horus still had some other thoughts in his mind. What if the alien's reaction just now was just because of the giant spider monster?

However, what happened next made Horus no longer hope for the best.

Shortly after the alien bureaucrats left, a large number of Inters warriors marched into the conference hall.

These warriors surrounded everyone around the conference table, and some of them wearing heavy armor came to their own people, blocking their own people while raising their bows and arrows at the Space Marines and Horus.

Sejanus subconsciously wanted to draw his sword, but Horus signaled his son with a look not to act rashly.

After Sejanus sat firmly, Horus looked at Tur: "Why?"

Tur was also confused, and looked at his alien colleague who had returned to the conference room in confusion: "What are you doing?"

The alien picked up the communication terminal and used the device embedded in the palm of his hand to project the contingency plan document signed by Horus.

Then Tur saw the content written in the language of the Human Empire, which was a detailed plan on how to eliminate the members of the Interres alien race.

"Tur, leave from there." The alien waved his hand to signal everyone to leave the conference table, and explained, "If Inters is incorporated into the human empire, you humans will not have any bad endings, but we, the race called aliens, are different. We will be exterminated, just as the document plans."

"This document may be a forgery." Tur defended Horus, "What can a paper document prove? Can it give you a reason to ruin the peace talks? Any Imperial can write this thing... I really don't know why the Human Empire uses paper documents that can be easily tampered with by Chaos's power..."

Horus glanced at Tur and thought that his defense was weak.

Such a document cannot really be called irrefutable evidence, as anyone could forge such a document.

The reason why it allows the alien bureaucrat to mobilize troops is that both the Intres warriors and the rulers will develop a sense of distrust towards the Empire after understanding it.

Because the Empire will really exterminate one alien race after another, not to mention aliens, even mutant humans will be slaughtered.

If you put yourself in their shoes, as a member of the Interres mutant race, it is indeed difficult to trust the human empire.

The document is just the spark that ignites the crisis of trust.

"The Empire hates creatures like me from top to bottom." The alien said, "Even if we report the results of the peace talks, the higher-ups won't believe an empty promise. We can't put our necks under the Empire's butcher knife and bet on whether the blade will fall."

"Then what do you want to do? Kill all the imperial personnel here?" Tur became excited. "Interres going to war with the Empire is like hitting a rock with an egg! If the human empire has nothing to do with Chaos, we can't solve our conflicts in this way!"

"After all, they haven't really started to massacre us yet, so their crime certainly doesn't deserve the death penalty."

After responding to Tur, the alien bureaucrat looked at Horus again.

"I have ordered the activation of planetary defenses. Your army will never be able to enter this planet, but you and your followers can leave."

"I should say that you are a friendly person, the Grand Admiral of the Empire. But I cannot believe your promise on behalf of all of our Interseth races. There is an irreconcilable conflict of ideas between the Human Empire and Interseth itself."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Intres warriors drew their bows and arrows, aiming at Horus and his descendants, while making way.

Horus and the Space Marines sat in their positions, motionless.

The Primarch could see that the only thing that Interres had zero tolerance for was Chaos, and there was no way they would attack him now.

This talk can continue.

“Father, they are pointing their weapons at you.” A Luna Wolf placed his hand on his bolt pistol. “This is an affront to you, so what we should do now is…”

"Just because they offended me, I'm going to let them all die? I'm going to destroy such a prosperous and rational civilization? Take your hands off the gun!" Horus shouted.

After the scolding, the Primarch remained silent.

He was waiting for his friendly behavior to work, for the Intres people here to calm down, and then continue the negotiations.

When the alien bureaucrat also raised his hand to signal the Intres warriors to calm down, Horus opened his mouth.

But before the first syllable was uttered, there was an explosion.

Everyone looked out the window.

The forbidden place in the world, the museum that houses the creations of chaos, was ablaze.
