Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 553 Many Questions
There was a flickering light in the void.

Warships were emerging from the white circular cross-section of Mandeville Point.

The visual effect of the pocket universe "spitting out" a battleship is only different in color from the visual effect of the battleship jumping out of the subspace.

Mortarion's fleet was released, while the Librarian fleet remained in the pocket universe.

Because of Eichmand's report, Fulgrim thought that Typhon, who had run back to perform a ritual for Mortarion, had really returned.

The Emperor's Children still maintained a loose bombing formation, and the warships of the Barbarus traitors also circled the planet loosely, neither of them reacting to the incoming fleet.

The Emperor's Pride.

Eichmand saw the outside world through the blood-dripping porthole and said, "Typhon and his Primarch have arrived."

Fulgrim walked to the porthole, drinking from his glass and gazing at the fleet.

Directly in front of the fleet were several ships covered in flesh and blood. Those were the ships that Typhon had taken when he left at 0901. There was no doubt that he had returned.

However, inside the flesh and blood ship that Fulgrim saw were all the White Knights Librarians who had formed a ritual array to create an illusion.

Qin Xia was still in the void, ready to open a portal to bring Eichmand back at any time.

But it must be after the war officially begins, otherwise Eichmand's disappearance will make Fulgrim alert.

The Mortarion fleet was still advancing.

The sailors in every warship have already realized something from a series of "covert operations" and "loading ammunition" orders. Even if they don't know the twists and turns of the legion's top brass, nor do they know why the Astartes fleet is killing each other, they can at least figure out how to fight the battle they are participating in.

Looking at the hundreds of warships of the Emperor's Children Legion and the Glorious Queen-class "Pride of the Emperor", the sailors on the gun decks of every warship in the Mortarion fleet held their breath.

The same is true for naval officers.

Although the other side couldn't hear what they were saying on the command deck, everyone subconsciously remained silent.

The strategic plan has been developed and now it is time to implement it.

The plan was simple: the closer we got to the enemy fleet, the higher the chance of our weapons hitting the target.

By then, when the enemy doesn't even have time to raise its void shield, a salvo from the entire fleet will be enough to destroy the Emperor's Pride and a large number of warships around it.

Qin Xia in the void was ready to teleport Eichmand at the moment of firing.

At this moment, Fulgrim suddenly ordered: "Take the Endurance, I need to talk to my brother and Typhon first."

Communication command issued.

Qin Xia projected psychic energy at the Endurance.

Mortarion calmly took the call.

Fulgrim saw on the communication board that his brother had grown wings on his back and his body had become extremely huge.

Typhon stood beside Mortarion, and his body also underwent changes.

Their images were the same as those Fulgrim had seen revealed to him by the Chaos Gods in the prophecy.

"You have been promoted so quickly?" Fulgrim sneered, "The God of Life is really enthusiastic. He is even reluctant to let you accept a little test."

Mortarion didn't know what to say, he just thought that the psychic disguise Qin Xia had arranged for him was quite useful...

Qin Xia knew very well what Mortarion would become after his fall. When he was training with the Grey Knights, the Grey Knights used the battle footage of exiling Mortarion as teaching material, so the psychic illusion was created extremely perfectly.

"Forget it." Fulgrim was a little disappointed. "I have already made a strategic plan. We will go to deal with Horus in a month."

Still kneeling on the ground, Eichmand's heart was pounding, and he reached his hand behind him silently.

He planned to find the right time to strike Fulgrim, who had not yet received the blessing and been upgraded, before Qin Xia teleported him.

Just think of it as revenge for all the depraved things I had to do during this period...

"My queen."

"Father."

The gate to the command deck of the Emperor's Pride opened, and two Emperor's Children walked into the command deck, calling out to Fulgrim and saluted.

Behind that Space Marine came a Luna Wolf Space Marine.

It's Abaddon.

Qin Xia was extremely surprised... How could Abaddon appear here?
Even Eichmand was extremely surprised when he saw Abaddon, wondering how this guy appeared here.

"You idiots."

Abaddon walked up to Eichmand, suddenly drew his sword, and slashed at the necks of his battle brothers and colleagues in the Council of Four Kings.

"They are here to attack you."

Eichmand disappeared from the command deck before being beheaded.

Abaddon sheathed his sword and pointed out the porthole: "They are coming to attack you."

Fulgrim turned immediately, barking orders.

"open……"

……

Qin Xia in the void saw the macro cannon fired by the Endurance hit the command deck of the Emperor's Pride.

The entire Emperor's Pride was even hit by this shell and tilted slightly to the left, and then the void shield rose.

More and more attacks fell on the Emperor's Children fleet, and ship after ship was destroyed in the first salvo.

The distance was not close enough, and the results of the salvo fire were not enough to determine the superiority of the fleets at this time.

Mortarion's fleet had fewer ships, but had the advantages of formation and initiative. On the contrary, although the Emperor's Children had more ships, their formation was loose and it took time for them to gather together into a battle formation.

Qin Xia then placed the think tank fleet behind the Emperor's Children fleet and returned to the command deck of the Endurance.

"Lord of the White Knights..." Eichmand immediately stepped forward and wanted to ask Qin Xia something. Qin Xia knew what he wanted to ask, but he didn't know the answer, and was even more confused than Eichmand.

"Horus has betrayed?" Mortarion said aloud. "How else could Abaddon's Warmaster's dog have appeared on Fulgrim's side? And wanted to kill Eichmander?"

"This is impossible!" Eichmand roared.

Eichmand looks just like Horus, so he looks like a smaller mini-Horus, making his own case.

Mortarion slapped Eichmand in the face, sending him spinning in circles, and then he turned his gaze to the only planet in the 0901 galaxy.

His loyal descendants of Barbarus are fighting above.

"You command the fleet." Qin Xia walked out of the command deck, "Leave the matters on the ground to me."

"Teleport them back, and we'll leave together! Don't really expect our fleet to destroy Fulgrim's fleet!"

"Use you to remind me!"

……

on the planet.

Inside the underground fortress.

The orbital bombardment suddenly stopped.

Although the reason was unclear, the owner of the fortress, the Barbarus-born Space Marine commander who was guarding the fortress, realized that what would follow would be a frenzied attack by the landing troops.

So Durak Rask stood up in his chair in the command center, leaning on Sawblade's broken chainsword and staring at the holographic projection.

The communication panel nearby flickered a few times, and the face of a Death Guard traitor appeared on the panel.

All Death Guard loyalists within the command, including Rask, ignored it.

The traitors would try to persuade the enemy to surrender before every attack, and then mock them when persuasion failed. This has become a regular routine.

"Give up, my father is here."

When the traitor said this, Lask turned his head sharply.

"Lies." Lask thought for a moment and shook his head. "If the Savior had fallen into Chaos, he would stand behind you and persuade me to surrender personally."

The traitor snorted and laughed: "Isn't the Emperor the savior of Barbarus?"

"Shut up!" Lask pointed his sword at the communication panel, "The Emperor is just the one who picked the fruits of victory. I know who the real savior of Barbarus is. I saw him with my own eyes, and I followed him personally... He is the savior who saved mankind from the alien tyrants!"

"Give up. It's no use. You just have to stand up with those fools and Typhon will grant you power and eternity, just like he promised," said the traitor.

However, to Lasker, this statement was not convincing at all.

"Give me power? Give me eternity?"

Lask stretched his neck slightly forward and gritted his teeth, his head trembling slightly when the sound came out from between his teeth, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

"I do not care."

"If the savior of Barbarus chooses to rebel, then I will follow him to chop off the emperor's head. Otherwise, I will follow him to chop off the heads of you bastards."

"If he stands behind you, I will surrender and kill the dissidents. If he stands opposite you..."

Lasker's right hand slowly moved from the neck.

The patched right eye and the scar on his face made him look much more ferocious.

"Then I will turn this fortress into a meat grinder. When the Primarch arrives here, he will see the ruins of the fortress and the mountains of corpses of you traitors and Fulgrim's bastards!"

The traitor avoided Lasker's gaze and cut off the communication after a few seconds.

The attack begins.

The fallen mortal auxiliaries attacked the fortress first, and after the first wave of attacks, which was tantamount to suicide, the Emperor's Children and the Death Guard traitors cooperated to attack the fortress.

Lask was already familiar with the fighting style of these enemies. The Emperor's Children had no tactics and were simply enjoying the joy of fighting in a war that they were sure to win.

Although the Death Guard traitors still have tactics, they can only fight head-on in a battle like attacking an underground fortress.

On the other hand, the fortress defenders had countless shooting holes, traps, and shift-based combat arrangements designed to minimize the disadvantage caused by the disparity in numbers.

Lask's arrangement was like a meat grinder, cruelly strangling any enemy who dared to set foot in the fortress.

But he was actually not good at defense, he was just too good at siege warfare. Now that it was his turn to be the one being beaten, it was nothing more than a change of thinking.

Experience taught Lask that he only needed to wait, and he would eventually receive a report on the enemy's casualties, as well as a report on his own casualties that was one percent of the enemy's casualties.

He could go on like this for a long time until every last man was wiped out in the war.

As everyone in the command center stared at the holographic image, a snowflake slowly fell in front of Lask's eyes.

The supernatural cooling phenomenon alerted Lask, and when he subconsciously turned around to look for his psychic combat advisor, he saw a snowstorm.

Having fought in the Battle of Ullanor, Lask was very familiar with the scene before him. Considering that Typhon's plan contained some content specifically designed to deal with the World Eaters' Primarch's adoptive father...

"Get out of here," Lasker ordered the others.

The officers continued to work.

It was not until the number of strategic icons of his own personnel on the holographic image became fewer and fewer, until there were only people in the command center, and until the roar of the Emperor's Children could be heard in the command center, that Lask turned and stepped into the wind and snow.

After passing through the pitch-black snow, Lask saw the command deck of the Endurance.

Mortarion stood in armor with his hands behind his back, looking at his offspring.

"Father."

Lask slowly knelt down with his chainsword, his tattered armor making noises as he moved.

Mortarion turned to the captain and said, "Retreat."
