Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 76 Punishment
"Answer me a question, what kind of people are we in your eyes?"

Qin Xia stood in front of Wallace and turned to look at Suya.

"to be honest."

"You must tell the truth."

The gladiators didn't know why Qin Xia asked this question, and neither did Suya. But she still struggled to get up from the ground and forced out a flattering smile: "A group of free people... rebels..."

"Yeah, nice compliment."

Qin Xia listened attentively and nodded as he savored the words.

Suya thought her answer satisfied Qin Xia, so she smiled too.

But Qin Xia smiled and shook her head the next second: "But this is not true."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wallace's head exploded.

After Suya reacted, she let out a heart-wrenching scream.

That was her most indulged and beloved offspring, and she could not accept Wallace's death the most.

Qin Xia walked behind one of Suya's daughters, combed her hair soaked in priceless spices, and whispered, "You must be honest. If you are not honest, you will be punished, just like when you tortured and trained slaves, but now you are the one being tortured, understand?"

Suya nodded vigorously, staring at her daughter.

Her daughter felt Qin Xia combing her hair. Every feeling from her hair made her feel like she was in hell. She felt only fear deep in her bones.

"So answer my question again." Qin Xia said.

When Qin Xia spoke, Suya's daughter trembled violently.

"A group of thugs, executioners!" Suya replied gritting her teeth.

This is indeed true.

"If you had been so honest just now and not lied, your sons would not have died. Remember, their deaths were all due to your mistake." Qin Xia smiled and nodded, walked away from Suya's daughter, looked back and forth in the square, and saw a slave covered with bruises.

So Qin Xia signaled the slave to come closer to him.

In the eyes of these slaves who knew nothing and were even more confused than the guards, the punishment inflicted by the gladiators on the slave owners did not make them feel very happy, because they were not sure whether they would also be killed by these scary-looking people.

Out of fear, the slave came trembling.

"What kind of punishment have you received?" Qin Xia stretched out his hand and used his spiritual power to repair the wounds on the slave's body.

"I...I stole some food...and then I was punished..." the slave answered fearfully.

"Who? Who punished you?" Qin Xia asked.

The slave hesitated, not daring to identify.

But considering that the person in front of him looked more intimidating, the slave finally pointed to an officer among the Guards after much hesitation.

Qin Xia turned around and snapped his fingers.

Then the officer's head exploded, splashing the soldiers around him with dirty blood.

The soldiers did not pick up their guns to avenge their officers because they were not only afraid that they would be the next to be shot in the head, but they also secretly gloated because they had also been abused by the officer.

"Cowards." Qin Xia glanced at all the guards. "You saw the high knight kneeling on the ground like a lamb to be slaughtered. You think that such a powerful person has surrendered to me and my brothers and sisters, and then you think that you can't change anything."

"The guns in your hands can accurately hit any target from a kilometer away, as long as you shoot accurately."

"The omnics you control can kill many people in an instant, as long as you give the order with your mouth."

“But you’re just standing here, like an audience.”

"Because you know how terrible the master you are loyal to is. You know that she is more terrible than the enemy. If you take the risk of hurting her and her children, the end result will be that you will be excommunicated."

"Guards? How ridiculous. You are not soldiers at all. You are just a bunch of lackeys and slaves."

Qin Xia's voice was blessed by spiritual energy and reached everyone's ears like thunder. Qin Xia looked at the guards.

He was now certain of one thing, that in a place like Nukeria, where the power of a small number of people armed with technological creations absolutely exceeded that of ninety-nine percent of the population, there was no real army at all.

These guards were essentially slaves who acted as soldiers.

These people were organized, armed, and using ridiculous, archaic tactics.

They are the atmosphere group equivalent of the High Knights.

It was just like what Qin Xia saw during the siege of Desia when he was on the anti-gravity aircraft.

Some of the High Knights were able to use a technological device to fire beams that could instantly penetrate the city walls, but they still sent a large number of Guards soldiers to attack the city using ancient tactics.

The reason is probably that the high knights think that these infantry sieges are very interesting and can liven up the atmosphere.

The world of Nukeria is essentially a fucking huge role-playing game, where a small number of people squander the powerful ancient technological creations left by human ancestors, and then use absolute individual force to force the vast majority of people to play slaves.

Most humans spend their lives unwillingly role-playing to satisfy the desires of the High Knights.

"Verify what I said." Qin Xia looked at Su Ya, "Let them surrender to temporarily save your worthless life."

Suya immediately touched the ring on her hand.

The control core underground in the fortress territory immediately blocked the use of all intelligent machines and all energy weapons.

"Kneel down!" Suya howled at the guards. Facing these slaves who still belonged to her, she was domineering. "Otherwise I will kill you all!"

"Do you have another trick up your sleeve?" Qin Xia stretched out his hand, and the ring on Suya's finger floated up and fell into Qin Xia's hand.

Looking at the ring in his hand, Qin Xia easily determined that this was a tool used to utilize the underground AI core of the fortress territory.

The principle is very simple, that is, to add a whitelist or blacklist, using a small device that the Murray family found on a corpse in the defense platform where the core was found. This is what the Murray family wrote in their research notes on the core.

However, before Qin Xia saw Su Ya using this thing, he did not realize that the device mentioned in the note was controlled by an ordinary copper ring.

As for the AI ​​core that can remotely invade and lock onto technological creations, it would be tantamount to seeking death to deal with it with physical technology. The only thing that can be used to exploit its loopholes is psychic power.

"I have another question." Qin Xia raised a finger to Suya.

When Suya heard the word "problem", she trembled with fear and looked hurriedly at her remaining children.

Qin Xia walked up to Suya, squatted down, and looked straight at the noble patriarch in front of him.

A question filled with doubt came out.

"I'm not surprised that the guards didn't dare to shoot, but why are you so submissive? I used to think that slave owners... nobles, after all, have some moral integrity, but you kept begging for mercy and compromising in desperate situations, as if you thought you could survive as long as you kept compromising... Why?"

Faced with this question, Suya still answered honestly.

"Because killing me is definitely not your best option." Suya said the truth trembling with fear, "You don't look stupid, you should be able to realize this truth... This sounds very presumptuous, but this is the truth. Please forgive me, I don't know how to express it in a humble way."

"My mother and her relatives are in Desia City. They have wealth that even I cannot even dream of."

"You can choose the path that is most beneficial to you. That is, this place belongs to you. You stop killing my descendants and let me go. Then you can have whatever you want, whether it is wealth, freedom, power, or joining the High Knights..."

"..."

When Su Ya was halfway through her explanation, Qin Xia suddenly raised her hand to interrupt her.

“No, we don’t want to have power and wealth, and we don’t want to be damned slave owners, but we do want freedom, and we have already got it.”

Qin Xia stood up and put this woman, who was just a weak person when she was not wearing equipment, in his shadow.

"We just want you dead."

Qin Xia suddenly clenched his fists, and Suya and her offspring were eroded by spiritual energy, and their limbs were gradually twisted into twists amid heart-wrenching wails.
