Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 88 True, High Knight

Nuceria...

After the holographic image ended, the slaves and civilians in Mach City attacked the guards beside them.

Then, people from the first to the thirty-third districts quickly made the most suitable choices. Those who lived on the same street began to look for each other, and those who were neighbors were inseparable like a syncretic squad.

In this way, after establishing militia-like teams ranging from micro to large, people from the entire district began to attack the barracks where the Guards were stationed.

Whether men or women, children or teenagers, all those who can fight join in the battle.

The disabled who could not fight used the materials they had to sew a flag with the outline of a running boy and distributed it to people running past their doorsteps.

Those who had spoken for the people, or contradicted the guards, or were strong and sharp-minded, easily gained the trust and obedience of others, and then under their command, everyone fought to the death for the same goal.

This is true for all thirty-three districts of the vast city of Mach.

When future generations look back on the history of Nuceria, this moment can never be circumvented.

"People were like crazy. The slaves and the untouchables suddenly turned into bloodthirsty madmen. They regarded their own lives and the lives of their enemies as disposable things."

"Something about the war seemed to be imprinted in their brains. They didn't even know the words, but they knew what to do at this time."

"If the rebels led by those damned gladiators fail to establish a rule as effective as that of the High Knights, then they will know what good they have done and what kind of beasts were bound by the shackles they broke."

——"Two Gods" (Page 12, Paragraph 1, Battle for the Orbital Elevator in Mach City, excerpt from an officer's note found in the Guards barracks.)
"The Father of Genes said that he knew that the genes of the Nu people had been modified. Tens of thousands of years ago, the rulers of Nuceria implemented large-scale genetic modification in order to enable people to better play the role of soldiers in the ancient Roman era."

"The slave owners established an unshakable rule by monopolizing the relics of ancient technology, and when their monopoly was broken, their collapse was also astonishingly fast."

"I have thought about this a lot and I think the main reason is that our Primarch is powerful and wise. Among the many secondary reasons, there must be one: there are still things on Nuceria that slave owners cannot monopolize, that is, the things that exist in people's DNA after large-scale genetic modification."

"So when the Father of Genes and some of his followers broke the slave owners' technological monopoly and personally used their words and actions to dismantle the Nu people's view that the slave owners were invincible, the fire of resistance was completely ignited, and the Nu people no longer had the possibility of being enslaved."

……

When the High Knights are unable to suppress a rebellion, it is only then that the power of ordinary people can create waves in the resistance.

The tall walls of Mach were occupied by the rebels in the city within three hours, and the rebels who rushed to the city of Mach quickly took over the walls.

In the command post that originally belonged to the Guards on the city wall, the rebels quickly cleared out everything there and set up their own command post.

Angron ordered the gladiators to go to every district of Mach City and let them find ways to fight their way to every place and contact the rebels in every place so that the rebels can be under his unified command and achieve greater results.

Angron had no experience in commanding a battle in a city, but although he was forced to do so, he was able to quickly draw experience from what he was doing. The Primarch's rapidly working brain could quickly imagine a series of related situations and outcomes, and summarize the best decision at the moment.

"Stay here and command the overall situation."

When Angron took the time to ask Qin Xia something, Qin Xia said this to the Primarch.

"There is a bomb in the city. I predicted it." When Angron wanted to ask again, Qin Xia answered first.

Upon learning that there was a bomb in the city, Angron panicked a little, but then he calmed down and focused on doing what he was supposed to do.

He completely trusted Qin Xia, so he felt more at ease letting Qin Xia handle the bomb issue than letting him, as the Principal, do it himself.

Qin Xia left the city wall and moved quickly towards the first area.

When he passed through the inner wall surrounding the first district and jumped onto a house to observe which building was the one where the bomb was placed as he had seen in the prophecy, his eyes were attracted by something that looked extremely out of place in the slums.

A gigantic machine rushed over a distance of a hundred meters on the street in an instant, and all the houses and people along the way were instantly turned into dust by the energy field covering its body.

Qin Xia was too late to rescue him, and only after the machine stopped did he see clearly the appearance of the incredibly fast machine.

The machine was humanoid, with long legs and arms, and its upper body seemed to be hunched over under the weight of the heavy armor.

Thick armor plates cover almost the entire body of this machine, making it look like it is wearing knight's plate armor.

The humanoid combat machine held a spear with electric current flowing through it in its right hand, and a kite-shaped shield with an energy defense field in its left hand.

Its height is about twenty-five meters.

"knight!"

This word quickly appeared in Qin Xia's mind.

Knight Mech, this is a common war machine in the human empire. Both 30K and 40K have this kind of war machine fighting on the front line.

Unlike the larger machines called "Titans" that were created for war, the Knight Mechs originated from the period when the human race was once the most powerful, and were civilian machines used to clean up the harsh natural environments in colonies, at least most of them.

And the knight in front of him...it was too strange.

Not to mention the energy field surrounding the knight, and the large number of automatic weapons that spewed flames at the surrounding enemies...

No matter how you look at it, a normal knight can't be 25 meters tall... Just based on this height, it can be counted as a pure war machine like "Titan".

But considering that the human empire has not yet set foot in Nuceria, and the standard knight model has not been extended here, the 25-meter-tall knight can only be regarded as the result of local people's modification.

"How dare you resist!" The knight roared deafeningly, piercing a tall tower with his spear in hand. "You are born bastards! Slaves with servility to the bones!"

Qin Xia immediately rushed towards the knight mecha and tried to use psychic power to attract the other party's attention.

It is not clear where the tall knight in front of him came from. Before others can come to support, Qin Xia can only deal with this tall knight by himself.

To deal with this literally: high, knight.
