Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 525 Future Events
The void war was one-sided, and the Empire had an all-round advantage over the fleet composed of strange creature warships.

But as the void war went on longer and longer, more and more biological warships appeared in the galaxy, and eventually the enemy used its numerical advantage to squeeze the Imperial fleet line above Ursol.

The enemy obviously did not come for the void battle. After approaching Ursol, they immediately airdropped army troops and arrived at Ursol, which had no void shield protection at all.

The biological warships completed only this one task before beginning to evacuate.

At the same time, a green spore cloud filled Ursol.

An Imperial Navy battleship attempted an orbital bombardment of the enemy landing site, but its lances and macrocannons were destroyed as they passed through the spore cloud.

The report from the planet's surface defense forces was first transmitted to the Imperial Navy, and then to Qin Xia and the White Knights.

"We saw a creature chewing on macro cannon shells!"

"Even the light spears were gnawed by them!"

The urgent recording sound started and ended.

"Subspace virus." The Chapter Master named Jonah said, "Your Inquisition is quite good at dealing with this kind of thing. I hope you are well prepared for it."

"Who is the enemy?" Qin Xia asked what he was more concerned about.

"You don't even know who the enemy is, what are you doing here?" Jonah snorted coldly, "The threshold of the Demonic Inquisition is so low now, even someone like you can join? I thought they would at least check whether the intelligence level of the White Knight candidates is normal."

Qin Xia realized that the other party would not miss any opportunity to insult the Demonic Inquisition.

The Demonic Ordos is a subordinate organization of the Inquisition ten thousand years later, specifically responsible for dealing with demons and supernatural events.

The Grey Knights are also members of the Ordo Malleus.

The Inquisition even has the power to review Space Marines, and an Inquisitor can even decide the life or death of an entire chapter... Qin Xia really didn't know where this chapter leader named Jonah got the courage and confidence to insult the Inquisition.

Furthermore, Qin Xia couldn't even be sure for the time being whether the White Knight to which Jonah belonged was his successor, or the White Knight of the Demonic Inquisition was his successor.

Qin Xia had a hundred questions to ask, but the situation required him to take immediate action.

"Ground defenses are losing ground," the Imperial Navy officer reported hastily.

He did not show any surprise or avoidance towards the word Demonic Inquisition. Obviously, as someone who often acted around or even inside the Eye of Terror, he at least had some understanding of the imperial secret existence that he had seen.

Jonah, the commander of the White Knights, raised his hand and used his psychic power to squeeze the officer out of the communication channel. He then informed Qin Xia, "The enemy is the running dog of the God of Plague. Even if they are abandoned here by their own fleet without orbital support, they can easily dismantle the defense of Ursol."

"I need you to assist me."

Jonah extended his index finger and pointed to the other end of the communication panel, which was Qin Xia.

"Is it time to waste your words?" Qin Xia frowned. "What I'm asking is which lackey of the God of Plague the enemy is. Tell me the name!"

"Typhons." Jonah was a little puzzled. "The traitor Primarch Mortarion's childhood friend and the first captain of the Death Guard... do you really not know or are you looking for trouble in a different way?"

He had never expected that the other party didn't even know who had invaded Ursol, and thought that the question just now was just a deliberate attempt to pick a quarrel.

"Typhons." Qin Xia began to think.

Mortarion rebelled after all, and the Death Guard became enemies after all.

Qin Xia and Angron have a plan for Mortarion, and this plan does not even need to be implemented hastily or urgently, because no matter how much Mortarion talks about social Darwinism, he is just talking nonsense.

His downfall was not because he had an evil heart or was too twisted to go down a dark path.

Angron believed that Mortarion's defection rate was even lower than Fulgrim's.

however……

After a second of thinking, Qin Xia habitually ordered: "Immediately deploy the army to Usol. There is something I must get there."

Jonah opened his mouth to speak, but stopped himself, and finally cut off the communication silently.

Both sides began sending land forces to Uthor.

Qin Xia directly teleported the think tanks to the surface of the planet and appeared at the attack line of the Ursol Planetary Defense Force.

The White Knights captain named Jonah also teleported with his subordinates to the place where the war was raging, and the two of them walked out of the portal one after the other.

The two sides then met.

Jonah was wearing a Terminator power armor of a model that Qin Xia could not identify. There were more than 300 White Knights behind him. The model of Terminators on their bodies was different from that of the chapter commander, and Qin Xia could not identify it either.

"The advantage of your Inquisition's White Knight training system is the large number of people. Why are there only sixty of them? Are all the students from the Saturn Psychic Academy dead?" Jonah's expression became even more unhappy when he saw the number of friendly forces in front of him.

When I heard the other party talking about the Saturn Psychic Military Academy and the White Knight Training System...

Qin Xia became more and more certain that the White Knights in front of him had nothing to do with him at all, and the Demonic Inquisition mentioned by Jonah was more likely to be his true successor ten thousand years later.

Psychic military academy and modern training system are what the White Knight think tank was working on not long ago.

There is another thing that Qin Xia believes can support his judgment.

That is the armor on your body.

Even if ten thousand years had passed, the world had changed, and the records had been lost, how could it be possible that no one remembered such a holy relic as the armor forged by the Primarch?

Jonah and the members of the White Knights behind him just glanced at their armor and simply thought that the armor was quite good-looking.

"Even if only I come, it will be enough." Qin Xia figured out the other party's inheritance, so he stopped dwelling on the past and turned to look at the enemy.

The defense line was built at the mountain pass.

In front of the layers of defense positions was a thick green spore fog, so thick that you couldn't see what was inside. Only at the edge of the fog could you vaguely see some corpses of the planetary defense forces and positions captured by the enemy.

The poisonous fog is spreading continuously, and wherever it reaches, flowers, grass and trees bloom instead of withering and rotting.

But the beginning and end of life, prosperity and end are precisely the powers of Nurgle.

"Sir." The voice of the captain of the White Knight sounded in the communication channel, "Behind the mountain pass is the mining site. According to the information from the society, the heart of the plague is right under your feet."

Hearing this, Qin Xia looked at Varis.

Varis gestured with several hands for the battle-brothers to disperse.

Each think tank in the think tank force has the ability to act independently. They are scattered across the entire front line and enter the trenches.

Some mortals cried for joy at seeing them fighting alongside them, while others simply knelt in the mud and prayed to them.

In the eyes of the locals, these are angels of the Emperor of God and have great religious significance.

The think tanks born in the 30K era generally believe in the Imperial Truth, but at this time they are not disgusted by the religious behavior of the locals.

As people who have a deep understanding of the Warp and psionics, the think tanks are well aware that if it were not for the cohesion and spiritual power brought by the belief in the God-Emperor, the world of Ursol would not be able to survive in the Eye of Terror.

The warriors of the White Knights also dispersed and joined the trenches.

Jonah, holding a long sword and a large shield, stood as the commander together with Qin Xia and the local planetary defense army commander in the command post in the center of the defense line.

The poisonous fog has not yet spread over, and the invasion has not yet begun for this second-line position.

Jonah always looked at Qin Xia with suspicion.

Qin Xia did not look at Jonah, his eyes were always on the poisonous fog, but he was thinking about Jonah and the White Knights.

If you are sure that the other party is your successor, then confessing your identity to him is the best option. Because of blood and inheritance, the other party will obey the orders of the ancestor of the war group ten thousand years ago without hesitation.

Even if they heard that the ancestor of the chapter wanted to take away or destroy the Plague Heart, these people would not hesitate at all.

But now that it is certain that the other party is not his successor, but the White Knight of the Demonic Inquisition, it is best to continue acting in the capacity of the Demonic Inquisition.

The emphasis is on restraint.

The identity of the Demonic Inquisition is obviously binding on the White Knights, whether this binding force comes from the reasons such as "the Demonic Inquisition is the direct successor of the former Lord of the White Knights after all" or "the Demonic Inquisition is a subordinate organization of Terra after all".

Otherwise, given the temper of the Space Marines, would they allow the Inquisition to take away the future White Knight?

"Don't look at me." Qin Xia turned his head and looked at Jonah. "I am here on behalf of the Inquisition for the Heart of Plague. If the enemy breaks through the defense line, your regiment had better hold on for a while and buy me some time."

Jonah's nose twitched a few times, and his eyes revealed anger and hatred.

But there was nothing I could do but obey.

Qin Xia guessed that there were some rules in the regiment against the White Knights of the Demonic Inquisition, otherwise Jonah probably would not agree at this time.

"It's a bell!"

A Planetary Defense Force officer suddenly shouted.

His cries were soon drowned out by the sound of bells echoing across the wilderness.

The bell rang seven times in total.

The clock on the wall of the headquarters showed exactly 7:77.

"There's something wrong with your time system, the Ursol people." Qin Xia took his eyes off the clock and reminded, "They are about to attack."

A roar suddenly came from the poisonous fog.

Some dark shadows staggered out from the dense poisonous fog, and finally appeared in the thin fog.

They were zombies covered with pus-filled blisters.

Plague zombies.

The typical tactics of the Death Guard in the 40th millennium were to use plague zombies as cannon fodder, and then the plague warriors would advance forward accompanied by a large number of zombies.

Qin Xia didn't need to remind them of the enemy's tactics, as the Usol people were already well aware of it and were fighting according to their past experience.

Some elite warriors armed with heavy sniper rifles roamed in the trenches, aiming and sniping the Death Guards among the plague zombies.

At the same time, after a calibration bombardment, all artillery fired at the same time, covering the Plague Walkers and Death Guards with a dense and slow-moving barrage of bullets. The artillery fire continued to blast into the poisonous fog, but because no one knew what was in there, no one knew what was destroyed.

The plague zombies were blown everywhere, but the plague warriors, who were Death Guard interstellar warriors who rebelled more than 10,000 years ago, were not affected by the artillery fire.

"These plague warriors have psychic powers." Qin Xia judged.

"They don't have any psychic powers." Jonah said, "It's just that the fragile material structure of the Eye of Terror has caused the lethality of material weapons such as artillery to be greatly reduced."

Jonah never missed an opportunity to express his disdain for the Inquisition: "This is the level of your Inquisition personnel... I feel that the mortal servants of the White Knights are more knowledgeable than you."

Qin Xia was not moved by Jonah's words, but just stared at the poisonous fog: "You are short-sighted and can't see that those plague warriors are using the psychic power of one person."

Although he had some objections to the "court personnel" in front of him, Jonah remained silent and seriously considered what Qin Xia said.

Just from this reaction, Qin Xia could tell that Jonah lacked self-confidence, was aware of his own weaknesses, and was also someone who could listen to advice... He should have just been the chapter leader for a short time, and might not even want to be the chapter leader, but was forced to do so.

Just like Dante, Chapter Master of the Blood Angels, who became Chapter Master without believing himself qualified to be Chapter Master.
