Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 142: Fabius's Apprentice

……

"The Iron Warriors remain in the ancient complex."

"All combat teams from each company of our 12th Legion will join the battle to destroy the nest."

"The plan is simple. Teleport to the inside of the identified nest, then destroy the nest. Repeat this cycle until we destroy the entire alien race."

Hound's Tooth cruiser, inside drop bay No. 29.

Qin Xia stood in the middle of the cabin, looking at everyone around him and talking.

More than a dozen think tanks stood together in the 12th Legion.

Dantioch, who led the Iron Warriors, did not stay in the ancient buildings on the surface, but stayed alone in the drop pod without any other Iron Warriors.

He more closely represents the Iron Warriors.

In addition to the Twelfth Legion's think tank, Dantioch, there is also a pharmacist, who is naturally also a member of the Twelfth Legion.

"Everyone else can deploy directly into the enemy's nests scattered across the planet via teleportation, but we can't."

Qin Xia turned around and looked at Dantioch.

"Our target is an extremely deep place on the planet. That place cannot be reached by teleportation because neither we psychics nor teleportation devices can detect the existence of that place. But I can guarantee that it exists."

A helpless look appeared on Dantioch's face under his helmet, and his brows were slightly frowned.

What is impossible to detect, but guaranteed to exist?

Dantioch didn't have a good impression of psykers because they were always talking in mysterious ways and speaking in riddles.

"But I know where that place is, and I suspect there may be a possibility for us to completely defeat the alien race, so we have to take the airdrop capsule and drop down to the place I mentioned, and then destroy it."

"I know I may not be very clear, but that's okay, you will understand what I'm talking about when we get there."

Qin Xia looked at Varis.

The chief think tank of the 12th Legion already knew what Qin Xia was talking about, after all, the two of them had explored the nest together.

It was a strange place, invisible, like a shadow, but when everything was normal and clear in the psychic vision, the existence of this shadow itself was an abruptness worthy of attention.

"If the place you mentioned exists, it must be guarded by countless aliens. If our team goes there, we may not even be able to fill their stomachs." Dantioch offered his opinion calmly.

"Yes, under normal circumstances it is just as you said, but it is different now." Qin Xia walked in front of each of the think tanks of the Twelve Legions, "I am absolutely sure that I can take it down."

Dantioch fell silent immediately.

He knew very well that there were no fools among the people present. If the psychic in front of him was not smart and prudent enough, it would be unlikely that he would be able to save the Twelve Primarchs as the soldiers of the Twelve Legions said.

But Dantioch still had a question: "What do I mean to this team? Why should I join?"

"You are an Iron Warrior, that's what it means." Qin Xia pointed to Dantioch's shoulder armor.

In addition to the black and yellow stripes on the shoulder armor, the emblem of the Fourth Legion is also engraved.

The logo looks like a skull-shaped helmet, or it looks like a pure metal skull.

"I don't understand." Dantioch could no longer tolerate this riddle-like way of speaking. He preferred to be more direct.

"The 12th Legion may be able to end the battle earlier than the 4th Legion, but it's not because the 12th Legion is stronger or better at fighting than you, but because we have the right means." Qin Xia pointed out to Dantioch, "And considering that you, the people who can represent the 4th Legion in this battle, you Iron Warriors must have a share of the credit."

"If we're going to a place that's going to turn the tide of the war and end it once and for all, then you have to be there."

After hearing this explanation, Dantioch nodded silently.

He showed no sign of emotion on the surface, but he was somewhat surprised in his heart.

"The Primarch of our Fourth Legion and the Primarch of your Legion are having a very bad time. Will our Fourth Legion still have a share when calculating the merits?" asked Dantioch.

"You are you, and Perturabo is Perturabo."

Qin Xia only replied with this one sentence, turned around and walked to the exit of the airdrop capsule, signaling the naval engineers outside to lower the airdrop capsule.

A drill-like device was installed at the bottom of the airdrop cabin, which would help Qin Xia and others reach that strange place that could not be reached using either psychic technology or psychic spells.

The drop bay door closed.

Everyone walked under the fixed frame and secured themselves to prevent being thrown around and bumped during the airdrop and drilling process.

When everyone was ready, a red warning light flashed inside the airdrop capsule, and it was then launched toward the surface by the warship.

The airdrop pod is also a convenient thing. Although it is not as convenient as teleportation, its advantage is that it is a product of science and technology rather than psychic technology or psychic magic. Places that cannot be entered by psychic things can be quickly reached by airdrop pods.

The airdrop pod crossed over the insects that occupied one land plate after another and fell towards a coordinate that was heavily protected by the enemy.

"When the Primarch of our XII Legion descended upon this planet, war became easier."

"But what about you? You have been fighting for so many years, and you have only just reached this last planet infested by alien bugs."

The pharmacist who was randomly picked by Qin Xia to accompany the team suddenly spoke.

Amid the roar of the airdrop pod's descent, the pharmacist's cold and somewhat sarcastic voice echoed in the communication channel instead of being covered by the noise.

"You have wizards, but we in the Fourth Legion don't." Dantioch defended the Fourth Legion without hesitation. "We can only use instruments and equipment to search the underground cavity, and then fight our way in. If it is a nest, we destroy it. If not, we have to fight back. We fight very hard and try very hard."

The pharmacist didn't care. He seemed to have some inexplicable hostility towards the Fourth Legion.

"Pharmacist." Qin Xia asked, "What's your name?"

The pharmacist replied; "Gallan Surak. I had the honor of being one of the first warriors to go to Nuceria to meet the Father of Genes. You should have seen me in the Triumph Hall of the Resolute Resolve." "Gallan." Qin Xia frowned and thought, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't remember the story behind the name, he just felt that it sounded familiar.

The pharmacist named Garland nodded: "Garland Surak."

"Take off your helmet." Qin Xia raised his hand and knocked on his helmet.

Garland did as he was told without hesitation. He placed his hand on the seal around his neck, pressed something to release the seal, and took off his helmet.

What was revealed was a face covered with hideous scars.

"Oh." Qin Xia suddenly recalled.

Garan Surak, the World Eaters pharmacist, is a man of talent and very smart, but he is smart in the wrong place.

If Angron was nailed, then Garlan would study the nails and find a way to copy the Butcher's Nail and give it to everyone.

Madness, frenzy...

Garan Surak put on his helmet and listened to the adoptive father of the Gene Father asking him: "Your teacher is the pharmacist of the Emperor's Children Legion, Fabius Bile, right?"

"How do you know?" Garland asked in surprise.

"Heh." Qin Xia smiled and said nothing more. He raised his hand to his mouth to signal Galan to remain silent.

Garlan looked toward Dantioch.

Dantioch planned to show this bastard pharmacist of the 12th Legion who had mocked him how the Iron Warriors fought without the help of wizards.

The drop capsule made a detonation sound, which meant that it had touched the surface, and then the drill installed at the bottom began to dig downwards with the drop capsule.

As everyone got closer and closer to the shadow in the psychic vision, the think tanks in the airdrop pod began to feel uncomfortable.

Qin Xia did not bring the cube that could suppress psychic energy this time, so the think tanks' feeling had nothing to do with him, but came from the enemy.

"The enemy possesses anti-psychic powers." Chief Think Tank Varis shouted, pressing his forehead.

"Then don't try to use your own psychic talents." Qin Xia said, "My power is not affected. Try to sense the psychic energy coming from me and then use it. This is why I brought you here even though I knew the enemy has anti-psychic abilities. Just treat this as a training."

Varis and the other nine think tanks looked at each other, and finally nodded.

The drop pod came to a sudden stop.

Varis took out a weapon from his back that looked like a staff, but was actually a laser launcher.

The other Librarians drew their chainswords and bolt pistols. They did not have their own equipment, and the Legion, which had not paid much attention to the Librarians before, would not make any special equipment for them. Even the staff in Varis's hand was given to him by a Thousand Son when he fought alongside the Thousand Sons.

The think tanks lined up, waiting for the hatch of the airdrop cabin to open.

Dantioch, holding his hammer, knocked away the shoulders of the Librarians and came to the front.

"This is our fight!" Varis said dissatisfiedly.

"This is also my battle." Dantioch's voice was cold and firm. "For those soldiers of the Fourth Legion who didn't come here... I have done all the work they should have done by myself."

Qin Xia said nothing and came to Dantioch.

Dantioch turned around and looked at Qin Xia, and found that Qin Xia was unarmed and had no weapon.

Even the power armor on this guy looked ill-fitting and covered with scars. The power backpack used to power the MK2 armor was not working, leaving Dantioch wondering where Qin Xia got the armor from.

However, from beginning to end, Qin Xia did not have a weapon or armor of his own.

"This outfit was taken from the dead body of the Hound's Tooth." Qin Xia looked straight ahead and whispered to Dantioch.

Dantioch nodded. "I see."

While the two were talking, the door of the airdrop cabin opened with a bang and fell rapidly.

A huge and vast underground space appeared in front of everyone, and then it was almost filled with countless insects.

When the hatch gradually opened, a large number of insects tried to squeeze in through the gap. Now that the hatch fell to the ground with a bang, they poured into the airdrop cabin like water finding a gap.

"I can't release my psychic power!" Varis shouted, holding his weapon.

"Concentrate on feeling it!" Qin Xia raised his hand to repel the swarm of insects in front of him.

Ice and snow began to spread all around, snowflakes were dancing in the air, and waist-deep snow soon piled up on the ground.

As long as the insects get close, they will be "swallowed" by the snow, but the people who are in the snow and seem to be trudging hard feel full of energy and extremely excited.

Today it is today.

Qin Xia already knew that the reason why wind and snow occurred when he released his psychic energy was not because he was introverted or literary, but because some of his psychic energy would overflow when he released it. These overflowing but unused psychic energies were like wasted fuel, and they needed a form of expression to present themselves in the real universe.

After figuring this out, Qin Xia also knew how to make the think tanks release their psychic energy when they were under unknown influences.

That is to let the think tanks feel the overflowing psychic energy and then control them.

As the ice and snow on the ground suddenly decreased a little, Varis, who was the first to come to his senses, stretched out his hand. Psychic lightning shot out from his five fingers, turning the large swarm of insects in front into snowflakes flying in the air.

Varis suddenly realized that he was not calling upon psychic energy from another space, but directly calling upon psychic energy from a person.

When he attached psychic energy to his eyes and used psychic vision to look at Qin Xia, he saw this scene.

In a dark and dry place, spiritual energy cannot penetrate here, but Qin Xia is emitting spiritual energy out of thin air like a spring, and all think tanks, including himself, can directly draw spiritual energy from Qin Xia.
