Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 529: Speed ​​Pass Perditus

……

A month later.

On the front line of the Great Crusade, the legions led by Horus were advancing further ahead.

The think tank fleet suddenly leaped into the real universe and rushed towards the orbit of the target planet.

"We have arrived at Perditus." The captain reported to Qin Xia.

As soon as he finished speaking, the person in charge of recording astronomical archives on the command deck took a picture of the entire galaxy, stored it in the database, and labeled it with the name "Perditus".

The Empire's expeditionary force did not attack here, so the galaxy and all the planets in it did not even have a numerical code name. It was only after the agents of the Society investigated Perditus that the galaxy was given a temporary name called "Perditus".

However, the secret investigation of the society's agents could not be used as a basis for entering into astronomical archives. Therefore, although the Imperials had come to this galaxy a long time ago, this was the first time it was discovered and recorded in public.

"According to the society's archives, there are enemies on Perditus. Should we make combat deployments against Perditus?" asked the captain.

Qin Xia shook his head in denial: "I just need to take some people and teleport directly to where Tuqiucha is."

After the captain nodded, a think tank combat team was summoned by psychic communication and entered the command deck.

After Qin Xia realized the location of the Tuqiucha engine and opened the portal and walked in, the think tank team also followed him into the portal.

When the group walked out of the snowstorm, they saw the Tuchucha engine located in a secret room.

It looked like a ball of light with two poles, connected to a series of cables, with a boy with a skinny body like a skeleton stuck on the cables.

When the boy noticed the group of people who suddenly appeared, he was obviously stunned for a moment, as if to say, "How could you get in?"

Varis, the commander of the think tank combat team, sensed psychic fluctuations in the secret room. That must be the defensive barrier set up by the Tuchucha engine, which made the psychic energy here chaotic and disordered. If it were him, there was obviously no way he could open a portal here directly.

At the same time, all the people on Perditus were controlled by the Tuchucha engine, and they also made deployments to defend against the landing battle.

But it is obvious that these two preparations are useless to the Lord of the White Knight.

"I don't have much time to waste on you." Qin Xia said, motioning the think tanks on both sides to come forward.

The think tanks immediately walked up to the Tuchucha engine and began to dismantle and move the engine.

The boy who was controlled by the engine itself looked puzzled, and then he was carried away by the think tanks along with the engine itself.

Qin Xia led everyone through the wind and snow and appeared in the warehouse of the White Knight.

This warehouse is highly confidential and contains all the Chaos Artifacts previously obtained from Interseth.

The Tuchucha engine also has a place here.

After the think tanks lowered the engine and raised the force field to suppress the engine's psychic power, Qin Xia stood in front of the boy connected by the cables and was silent at first.

The boy still looked confused at this time.

Everything happened too suddenly, just like a mission level that originally required overcoming difficulties and obstacles to complete, but because the player read the guide and prepared in advance, he was able to complete it quickly without any waves or troubles.

Perhaps because he really didn't understand the situation, or perhaps because he wanted to test the waters, the boy controlling the engine spoke slowly.

"You are here for the three sacred artifacts?"

"I am a key, you can use me..."

Qin Xia raised his hand to interrupt him halfway through his words.

"No need to say such a mysterious opening remark. The reason I was able to find you is because I know everything about you."

"Quick questions, quick answers."

"Are you willing to be used by me?"

Hearing the question, a puzzled look appeared on the boy's face.

After careful consideration, he was controlled by the engine and spoke the engine's will: "I was born to be a tool, so of course I can accept it... but you may not understand it very well..."

"Okay, thank you." Qin Xia turned to look at Varis, "Go and inform the captain to set sail and return to the front line of the Abyss Battle."

Varis saluted with his chest raised, then turned and left.

Qin Xia took another look at the engine and left the warehouse with the other think tanks.

The gate of the warehouse that contained the ashes of the soulless fell down with a bang, sealing the Tuchucha engine inside.

The boy controlled by the engine looked at the gate, then at the force field that bound him, and finally sat down to think seriously about what had just happened.

When they arrived outside the warehouse, Qin Xia said to Tethys as they walked, "Help the engineers assigned by the captain to quickly control this engine, but this is secondary. The most important task is to supervise it and ensure that its existence is a secret."

"Yes." Tethys bowed as he walked.

As the director of the Great Library, it is his duty to guard both knowledge and treasures.

But Tethys was a little puzzled. This trip to Perditus was extremely easy and smooth. It seemed to be just a small matter that could be handled by sending some people over. It just might not be as quick and smooth as before.

The Lord of the White Knights came in person, which showed that the Tuchucha Engine was so important that he had to come in person to feel at ease. Seeing what Tethys was thinking, and considering that the library director was also responsible for compiling archives, Qin Xia took the initiative to explain: "The Tuchucha Engine can allow a ship to pass through the subspace storm and conduct extremely fast and stable subspace navigation."

Just one sentence shocked Tethys and made him realize the importance of the Tuchucha engine.

"It has such strategic value?" Tethys couldn't help but exclaim.

For a person or thing that will be used in war, being called "strategically valuable" is the highest compliment.

"For confidentiality reasons, we can even use it without installing it in the engine room if necessary. Keep that in mind."

After Qin Xia finished speaking, he opened the portal and prepared to leave the warehouse.

But before he entered the portal, the captain and the engineering team he arranged walked out of the portal first.

After Qin Xia stepped into the portal and left, the captain came to Tethys.

The director of the Great Library stopped and thought for a moment, then decided to put aside all matters for the time being and personally supervise the process of understanding and using the Tuqiucha engine. So he did not arrange for the think tank and engineering team to cooperate, but opened the warehouse gate himself.

The boy controlling the Tuqiucha engine saw another person coming in, and immediately stood up from the ground, looking at the people in front of him curiously.

"good evening."

The captain of the engineering team is an officer personally selected by the captain. This sweet-looking woman is extremely good at communication.

She came to the boy, leaned over and smiled, and gently stretched out her right hand: "So, this ancient creation of yours and the spokesperson you control are both a boy?"

The boy lowered his head to look at the officer's outstretched hand, then looked up: "Just tell me where you are going."

"Star System 92-22." The captain saw that the Tuchucha Engine was not interested in communication at all, so he took out the data pad and pointed at the star map on it, "A star system three light years away from us."

The boy nodded.

Tethys activated his psychic energy and temporarily released the force field that bound the engine.

Then the Tuchucha engine roared and lightning flashed in the warehouse, but Tethys knew clearly that it was definitely not lightning, because he could feel the surging psychic power from that light.

Just when Tethys was almost driven by vigilance to restart the suppression field, the Tuchucha engine suddenly stopped.

The entire fleet appeared in the 92-22 system.

"Where else do you need me to take you?" The boy controlling the Tuchucha engine paced in front of everyone, "I can take you anywhere, even... the treasure house that holds the ultimate secret."

The captain looked at Tethys and said, "It seems that all the people I prepared are useless, and this thing can talk, which may affect their minds."

"Leave this place to me," said Tethys.

The captain saluted with the Sky Eagle, turned around with his hands behind his back and led the team away, not forgetting to tell the engineering team: "Forget what you saw today."

……

"Father, seven months have passed."

Angron stood in front of the window of the Great Library, scanning the entire library environment.

The Primarch himself was of course not present; Qin Xia was merely communicating psychically with his adopted son.

Originally, he could just use star language to communicate as if he was on the phone, but after meeting Ursol and the future Kamas, Qin Xia wanted to see Angron especially.

"You know, the speed of time in the Eye of Terror is different from that in the normal real universe." Qin Xia smiled, "How is the Abyss Battle going?"

"The battle ended two months ago. Now the various legions have dispersed to explore and conquer beyond the borders of the western empire. Vulkan returned to Terra, and the Emperor asked him to help with some Webway engineering work."

"That went pretty smoothly."

Qin Xia rubbed his chin and pondered as he spoke. After thinking it over, he told everyone what he saw when he destroyed the Heart of Plague.

Angron was very calm after hearing this, because he had already determined that the future was not unchangeable, and that was enough.

Everything that has not happened is a variable.

“I recently learned that Horus did a lot of things besides war,” Angron said. “After learning about the existence of Chaos, he began to be alert to all the strange things encountered during the Great Crusade. He knew that the Emperor’s Children Legion had genetic defects and excessive pursuit of perfection, so he kept the Emperor’s Children by his side to supervise them.”

"He believed that Mortarion's home planet was affected by Chaos, so he gradually made Mortarion avoid recruiting troops on his home planet."

“He’s done a lot.”

Upon learning this, Qin Xia couldn't help but feel that it was wise for him to tell Horus about the influence of Chaos.

Knowing and being able to infer many traces of chaos influence, and then doing something to avoid chaos influence, is also a manifestation of Horus's ability.

“There is hope, father.” Angron’s eyes sparkled.

Qin Xia nodded silently, feeling that there was indeed hope, but it was too strange that the empire would still believe in the state religion in the future, so he still felt troubled.

Finally, Qin Xia stopped talking about the future: "Should I go back to the expedition front first, or go pick up Vulcan?"

"Vulkan has left Terra. Bring him back first, father."
