Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 54 Ogre

……

"Today is the most important festival in Nukeria - Chief Tark's birthday!"

"Today, Chief Talke will bring a wonderful big fight to all of us Nukerians, as always! He decided to spend this day with every Nukerian and share his joy!"

"And today, ten of the most valiant and sought-after gladiators will step onto the red sand to face five of the most formidable enemies!"

Maggot Eye soared across the arena, delivering words that sounded as passionate as ever.

The host pressed a control button somewhere in the arena, and then the huge gates standing on both sides of the red sand and hot soil in the battle area of ​​the arena slowly opened.

Of the two gates leading to the fighting area, one gate was for the gladiators to pass through, while the gate opposite the gladiators' residence was for people or things that were not gladiators to pass through.

"Today is not a regular fight. No matter who comes out of the gate, we don't need to show mercy."

Qin Xia walked empty-handed at the front of the ten gladiators, giving instructions as he walked.

This sentence has no value to most gladiators who have been fighting in the arena for many years. They certainly know that the enemies coming out of the gate opposite the gladiators' residence are here to kill them all. Who would show mercy?

But not all gladiators are very experienced, such as the two new gladiators in the ten-man gladiator team that Qin Xia is in now.

To be precise, they were two little kids.

A little girl, looks very young, but her eyes reveal ferocity and determination.

The other was a little boy named Yochuka.

This was the boy who came with Yochula's mother when she came to the cave to deliver supplies that day.

The two children were brought in in the morning when the gladiators were having dinner. When Yochula saw his little brother being thrown into the arena, he collapsed. He thought that his mother and Yochula would not be in danger of their lives as slaves outside, and even if the two were thrown into the arena for committing a crime one day, they would definitely come in together.

Now that only Yochuka was thrown in to fight, Yochula had to believe that something bad had happened to his mother.

"About your mother." Kleist walked beside Yochuka, "Don't worry if your mother is still alive... Your brother and the little girl were sent in. It's possible that the arena staff just grabbed two kids and threw them in here."

"If that's the case... I don't understand... why?" Yochula asked, staring at Kleist with bloodshot eyes.

Kleist was speechless for a moment.

Ono answered for Crest: "To increase the viewing experience. The last time a few kids were sent in and rushed to play with us, the guy we were fighting was called Ogre."

"Ogre?" Yochula looked at Ono.

"You'll know what I'm talking about in a moment." Ono turned his head, stopped, and stared at the dark corridor inside the giant gate in front of him.

The gladiators all stopped.

Angron leaned down, raising both axes.

Qin Xia stood still, staring straight ahead, ready to use his spiritual power at any time.

Yochula's prosthetic arm easily held the full-height axe across his body, but before the battle he had one more thing he wanted to ask.

"Brother..."

Hearing the call, Yochuka looked up with a confused look on his face and found that it was his brother Yochula who called him.

"Our mother, is she still alive?"

This is not the first time Yochula has asked this question.

Yochuka’s answer was the same as the one he gave to his brother all the way here: “My mother was assigned to the arena to prepare supplies, and when I woke up I came to this damn place, so I don’t know if she is still alive…” “Well…” Yochuka seemed to sigh, and then protected his brother behind him, “Sorry, I asked you more than once… It’s just because I was too worried…”

Seeing his brother nod with a painful expression, Yochula turned his head and looked forward.

On the other side of the red sand, in the dark corridor, a heavy sound of footsteps was heard.

It was like something huge was walking step by step, and there should be more than one huge thing because the footsteps were chaotic.

After the gladiators held their breath for a while, the enemies they were about to face in the fight slowly appeared.

Four huge subhumans came out first. They were terrifyingly tall and strong, wearing iron armor and holding huge axes in their hands, which were swung by heavy chains.

"Ogryn ape-man?" Qin Xia frowned and said the scientific names of the four sub-humans.

On Nuceria, the Nuceria people certainly did not call these sub-humans Ogryns; that was the name given to this human subspecies by the later Human Empire.

The Ogryns are extremely stupid, but they possess amazing strength.

If an Astartes were not wearing armor and attempted to compete with Ogryn in terms of strength, it would be easy for Ogryn to kill the brainless Astartes.

"Are they ogres?" Yochula subconsciously pushed Yochucka to keep his brother behind him further away from the enemy.

"No, they are not." Ono shook his head.

The four Ogrins were stopped by some kind of creature that clamped their joints. The arena had the ability to control them, and even used those things that clamped their joints to control them to strike very domineering postures in exchange for the audience's cheers.

Then, in the darkness of the corridor, a monster about four meters tall walked out.

The body of this monster is roughly similar to that of a human, but it is so strong that it makes people feel hopeless, and its head is shaped like a bull's head.

"This is an ogre." Ono said, "It will definitely attack two of our children first. This is what happened in the last fight. I watched it slaughter twenty gladiators alone in the cave, and in the process, it killed five children in the team..."

Qin Xia nodded and looked at the monster in front of him.

He knew it was the Beast Man.

Look upward.

Qin Xia saw that the beastman's head had a lot of cable-like things extending to his neck, which was a sign of the butcher's nails.

In addition, the beastman was wearing an iron helmet that covered his head and horns similar to bull horns.

This is a sign.

The World Eaters are known for wearing helmets that resemble horns, though they also look like rabbit ears.

The World Eaters' horned helmets are a unique style of helmet that was inspired by the horned helmets worn by the Beastmen of Nuceria.

"I'll deal with it." Angron walked forward with the axe, turned around and glanced at Qin Xia, asking with his eyes whether he agreed.

Qin Xia naturally nodded, then looked at Yochuka, who was closely protected by his brother Yochula, and the girl next to Yochuka, and asked with a smile: "Ma'am, what is your name?"

Hearing this inquiry, the young girl calmly replied, "Theseus."

"Theseus." Qin Xia nodded, looking at Theseus with respect as if he were a woman rather than a girl, "You must stay with Yochuka after the fight starts. We will protect..."

"I can fight." Theseus said calmly, and then she pulled out two daggers from behind her waist, which looked more like short swords in her hands. "I can also take care of myself."
