Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 562 Crowds of people
……

The earth seemed to be split in two.

Qin Xia stood on a smooth plain, looking at everything in front of him with shock.

The battlefield where he had just fought, that is, the mountain area and the entire fortress, was now hanging in the sky.

Apart from Chemos, the blood that Mortarion saw, the severed land plates... all of them were the destructive effects caused by Qin Xia's casual attack with a sword after he completed the trial of the Brave Lord and gained strength.

How many sons of the Emperor were killed by that sword just now?

Qin Xia didn't know.

After swinging his sword and predicting that an entire landmass would be cut off, Qin Xia immediately focused on teleporting the friendly Space Marines besieging the mountain area to ensure that they would not die in the attack that could be described as a planetary disaster.

Although he was unable to pay attention to others because he was rescuing his friends, but... Qin Xia raised his head and looked at the destruction he had caused. He estimated that there would not be even half of the Emperor's children alive in that fortress.

"Success." Qin Xia relaxed, took a deep breath, and threw away the power sword in his hand that was not convenient for him.

The sword he picked up and swung to test his strength could no longer support the power of the user. The fact that it could maintain its shape was purely because Qin Xia subconsciously wanted to have a sword in his hand.

So when Qin Xia gently loosened his five fingers, the power sword was blown away by the strong wind caused by the drastic changes in the environment on the planet's surface, turning into fine particles like sand and dust, and disappeared without a trace.

"I feel so strong." Qin Xia tried to contact Uslan.

But Uslan could no longer maintain psychic communication with Qin Xia at this time. When Qin Xia just released a devastating blow, the psychic power swept across the entire Chemos like a storm, and the psychic power that surged out of the subspace rift was completely taken by Qin Xia.

Although the attack has ended now, the spiritual energy is still surging violently.

Uslan, who was always paying attention to Qin Xia's condition, was washed and burned by the spiritual energy. It was not until Qin Xia intentionally calmed the spiritual energy in the space that Uslan regained consciousness and established contact.

"Success." Uslan's tone was calm.

But Qin Xia could tell that the old prophet's tone was a deliberately suppressed calm.

The plan of the Laughing God Xile Gao was successful. Qin Xia was able to seize the authority of the gods and take those powers for himself. At the same time, because of his unique talent, he would not be affected by those powers to change his mental state or thoughts.

Just go on like this.

If each of the four trials can reach the end and the peak, then the authority of the Four Gods will be completely lost.

These four entities, composed of the components of the Warp, will disappear, achieving true death.

Uslan was aware of this, so it was hard not to be excited. Like most of the Eldar who intended to fight Chaos rather than live in seclusion, he would not pin his hopes on a young race.

But after the Veilwalker found him and explained the Laughing God's plan, Uslan decided to "place the bet", which is why he was willing to take the risk to help humans walk the Webway.

“I see the dawn of victory,” Uslan said. “Even if Angron, Horus, and all the Primarchs who would have rebelled on their original destiny were not stopped by you, we can still see the hope of victory, because we now finally have the ability to challenge the gods who are behind the scenes.”

"Yes." Qin Xia picked up the quadruple trial hanging on the elastic band of his pants.

Now it cannot be called the Book of the Fourfold Trials; it itself is the Fourfold Trials.

Among the four pages, the contents of three pages remained unchanged, only the page of the Lord of Bravery changed.

[Incarnation of grievance: Ants are toys of predators, and their destiny is to be fed and played with. Countless ants who have been ravaged are willing to exchange their lives for blood, but they can hardly even see the face of the predator. The predator does not know that the ants' grievance and unwillingness of being ravaged to death and not being able to take revenge are echoing in the highest heaven. One day... one day...]

Qin Xia told Wu Silan the contents of the page on the incarnation of grievances.

After a brief thought, Uslan made a judgment: "This trial probably needs to be completed by helping the ants to take revenge on the predators."

Qin Xia immediately thought of Nostramo.

The ants are ordinary people of Nostramo, and the predators are the rulers of Nostramo. If that place is used as a ritual site, the way to complete this trial is probably to kill all the rulers of Nostramo, and in the name of ordinary people.

The core is resistance and revenge, so if this trial is placed in Nuceria, it means killing all the high knights on behalf of the slaves in the old days.

"The Blood God is really straightforward." Qin Xia looked at the new Khorne trial, the Incarnation of Grudge, and then looked at the other three. He couldn't help but feel a liking for the power and many concepts represented by Khorne.

At least there aren't so many twists and turns. Just do what you should do. Although it's also a riddle, it's easy to guess.

The others aren’t hard to see what needs to be done to complete the trial, they’re just too broad.

Whether the information on each page of the Fourfold Trial is simple and easy to understand is not the most important thing; the information content is the most important.

"I have to finish this war." Qin Xia put away the fourth trial, "We must strive to completely annihilate the Emperor's Children on this planet, including Fulgrim, and put an end to this rebellion."

"Fulgrim is not aboard the Pride of the Emperor, but on Chemos," said Uslan.

"I see." Qin Xia opened the portal and went directly to the other end of the planet.

……

Chemos Industrial Zone.

The Emperor's Children held the industrial zone, and 40,000 Death Guard space warriors surrounded them, but they did not attack, but passively took the beating.

The Emperor's Children attempted to break out, but no matter which direction they attacked the Death Guard positions, they ultimately returned empty handed, leaving behind a large number of corpses.

While the Death Guard were surrounding the industrial area without attacking, some dark shadows were active in the dark.

Some of the Raven Guard space warriors, who were closest to the Primarch Corax and most adept at infiltration and assassination operations, tried their best to cause damage to the Emperor's Children. One arsenal after another storing weapons and equipment was blown up, and one commander after another was killed.

Because the Death Guard did not take the initiative to attack, the battle looked like a stalemate, but in fact it was not.

This consumption would continue until the Death Guards stepped out of their positions in silence and entered the industrial zone, where they would disintegrate the Emperor's Children's defenses like a hot knife through butter and minimize the number of deaths in street fighting for the Death Guard Lord, whose loyal descendants were already few in number.

Lask, who was best at siege, commanded the war. He was previously teleported back to the Endurance to report on his duties and was then transferred to Chemos to participate in the battle.

Because the captains of the legions either support Typhon or get lost, it is difficult for the Death Guard to find another excellent commander of the same level as Lask.

"How's the battle going?" Qin Xia was teleported to the industrial zone battle command center. After walking out in the wind and snow, he immediately approached the tactical table.

Varis and six think tank team captains were also here and saluted immediately.

The other Death Guard commanders also saluted and made way so that Qin Xia could go to the tactical table and observe the situation.

Qin Xia didn't have time to go back to the White Knight to change clothes, and was still wearing his shorts.

But in the eyes of others, the Lord of the White Knights is still majestic in the armor forged by the primarchs themselves.

"The enemy is trapped here." Lasker stepped forward to explain, "My tactic is to consume as many enemies who intend to break through as possible in the defensive counterattack, and then attack again."

Typical Death Guard defensive counterattack tactics.

This classic tactic is what the commanders learned from the Primarch.

Mortarion's habitual approach in war is to defend first and then attack, just like a player playing a real-time strategy game, who chooses to defend his home and, in the process, builds up a large number of troops, and waits until the opponent's resources are almost depleted in constant offensive attempts, and then lets the troops rush in like a swarm to destroy the opponent.

"The combat teams of the Think Tank forces are responsible for assisting in the operations, and we have people everywhere on Chemos," Varis added.

In war, the White Knight Librarians have always found it easy to work in tandem with their allies, whether they be the World Eaters or some other Legion.

This is due to the habits and experience left over from the previous Battle of Ullanor, when the Librarians assisted the armies of many legions, including the World Eaters, in combat.

It's not just the Think Tank, but the majority of Space Marines of the Death Guard and Raven Guard Legions are the same. There is no need for their Primarch to repeatedly instruct them, or even to set up departments and institutions specifically to handle cooperation matters. The two legions can immediately coordinate operations when they meet.

During the Battle of Ullanor, although the Raven Guard did not participate in the vanguard like the Death Guard, they still cooperated in the various battles in the final stage of Ullanor. Today's joint operations are nothing more than reactivating the temporary institutions and departments established back then, and there is no need to redo the personnel arrangements.

All of this was based on Angron's strategic guidance, that is, when the various legions gathered together to fight, they were not assigned combat tasks according to their specialties, but were formed into combined forces.

Although Angron was far away in Nuceria, he still provided assistance in some way to the distant battle of Chemos.

"Chemos is about to enter the rift."

Qin Xia raised his head and his eyes penetrated the steel dome of the command center.

The Warp rift is just around the corner.

Once Chemos enters the rift, everyone must retreat.

"No time to waste." Qin Xia pointed to the map of the industrial zone on the tactical table, "Attack here directly."

Lasker hesitated briefly, then saluted with his chest raised.

Qin Xia teleported out of the command center and came to the forefront of the battle, where the fighting was the most intense, which was the northern part of the industrial zone.

Only when Qin Xia left the portal did he directly see and feel the "war between Space Marines".

The industrial zone of Chemos was already extremely large. After Fulgrim returned to the Legion, it was built into a supply base for the Legion's combat materials. The huge industrial facilities stretched as far as the eye could see across the mountains and plains.

The battle between the Space Marines of both sides is not a group of infantry running towards each other, but like fighting against a powerful alien race, the armored units and companies of the Space Marine Legions follow the feet of giant war machines like Titans to advance or defend.
The Emperor's Children were still on the offensive, with tens of thousands of Space Marines advancing along with an entire Legion of Titans.

On the Death Guard side, there are also Titan legions guarding the front line to fight against the enemy Titans.

The sky was filled with artillery fire and bullets.

A Space Marine who has gone through countless tests and had to go through a near-death experience during a transformation operation. He may be the most outstanding warrior on his home planet. He has undergone countless training and withstood attacks from countless dangerous alien races during the Great Crusade...

Then here, they were hit by explosive bombs that came from nowhere, blowing through their heads or limbs, and they fell to the ground with a thud and were run over by tanks from behind.

Qin Xia couldn't help but recall that before he came to 30K, he followed the White Scars regiment everywhere and occasionally saw earth-shaking battles.

In an apocalyptic war, the lives of Space Marines will not be so cheap, and they will not die like the cannon fodder Astra Militarum who are handed over as tithes by their mother planet.

Although during the Great Crusade the Space Marine Legions also faced powerful aliens like the Randan who could kill Space Marines as mortals...but that war scene was far less brutal and terrifying than the battle between the two Space Marine Legions.

It did not matter who seized control of low Earth orbit, as orbital bombardment became non-threatening once it fell on Chemos.

Something else is needed to completely lay the foundation for the attacker's victory.

So, after Varis walked out of the portal, Qin Xia picked up his spear and stabbed forward.

A crescent-shaped red blood light moved horizontally forward.

The Titan was cut in half.

The buildings in the industrial area were also divided into two.

A rift formed in front of the Death Guard's position and extended across the industrial zone. To the fighter pilots fighting each other in the sky, it looked like the pattern of the industrial zone was torn apart.

"Here." Qin Xia returned the spear to Varis.

Varis took the spear. His tough face beneath the helmet was expressionless, but his heart was surging with excitement.

Although Varis had sensed that the bloody light was made up of the psychic power of the Lord of the White Knights when a part of the planet was cut off, it was still shocking to see with his own eyes now... an industrial area where a violent attack required countless lives and even a factory required the attacker to rely on lives, became as harmless as a group of bunkers after being bombarded by heavy artillery.

A large number of Space Marines rushed past Qin Xia and Varis one after another, and the Death Guards on the entire front line rushed forward.

Titan Legion.

The World Eaters Knights brought by the White Knight.

These war machines were lined up in a line, using void shields to protect the sea of ​​Space Marines, firing as they advanced.

The total number of Space Marines participating in the war was less than 300,000. From the perspective of numbers alone, it was far from a huge crowd, but 10,000 mortals standing in a square formation would look like a sea of ​​people, let alone these hundreds of thousands of Space Marines.
