Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 393: Hurry Up

……

after a while.

"How is the progress of the Parliament replacing the War Council?"

"We encountered some troubles. I must say that the Astartes are the real force in the Great Crusade after all. Their support is enough to put a temporary tool that is about to be replaced on the table again."

Malcador sat on the ground with his eyes closed.

He was in his own ship, but on the sensory level he was enveloped by a shining light.

Communicating with the Emperor was extremely stressful for Malcador, for the Emperor's psychic powers were so powerful.

"So what do you decide to do?" asked the Emperor.

"I have a thousand ways to solve this problem in a short period of time," Malcador responded psychically. "Gaming is what I am best at."

"But...time is running out."

"But more importantly, even if time is running out, this is your ideal and your persistence. So I can compromise and cooperate with Kalbohar, but I will never compromise on this matter. Please rest assured."

Hearing this, the Emperor sensed Malcador's soul projection, and his will stretched the time consumed by this warp-based conversation by a few seconds, but it was just a feeling of "silence".

Then the conversation continued.

"Among the thousand ways you can think of, is there any way that can solve this problem in a very short time, faster than my direct intervention?"

Hearing the Emperor's question, Malcador shook his head honestly: "There is indeed nothing that can solve problems faster than compromise, but the problem is that you can't compromise."

"This is not a compromise, this is a solution to the problem," the Emperor said. "Time is running out. Since these are temporary tools, we should first think about making them play their due role, and then talk about other things."

Machado did not respond.

The Emperor's consciousness gradually withdrew from the Warp, leaving behind a sentence before completely exiting.

"I'll talk to them."

"Besides, there's only one thing that really matters."

"That means speed."

……

Dawn Star.

It has been a long time since the conflict on this planet, and the planet is gradually being taken over by Ultramar.

Before evacuating, Qin Xia and Angron still needed to do one thing, which was to send the soldiers sent by various legions to participate in the Dawn Star conflict back to the legion.

In the star port, huge amounts of supplies are piled up like mountains.

Terminator tactical dreadnoughts, medical supplies, and other things that all legions want will be taken as gifts by those sent by the legions when they return.

Qin Xia and Angron saw the Space Marines off at the starport. They personally met with every officer who had been given authority and responsibility by the Primarch, said a few words of thanks, and then took the lists of supplies which were more powerful than words of thanks.

Except for the Space Marines of the Dark Angels, all the Space Marines of other legions were sent away in this way.

The reason why the Dark Angels are an exception is that...

Their Primarch was the only one who came in person to pick up his own children.

"Luther!"

A roar resounded throughout the star port transport platform.

Luther, who was preparing to board the ship with the Calibanites, was so frightened that he even drew his sword, while the Calibanite Space Marines instinctively wanted to find cover...

Luther was a member of the Knights Templar era, and he participated in the fight against the beasts of Caliban.

Although those Caliban-born Space Marines are young, they were born before the Caliban beasts were completely wiped out, and at a very young age they followed their parents to hide from the threat of the beasts.

The roar of Lion El'Jonson, Primarch of the First Legion and Lord of the Lion, made everyone, including Luther and the Caliban-born Space Marines, feel as if they had heard the roar of a giant beast.

"Luther!"

Another roar.

It was only when Luther saw Lion's figure that he realized he was not on Caliban, nor did he hear the roar of the beast.

Ryan came over aggressively.

The Caliban-born Space Marines had witnessed the Primarch's ferocity and immediately hid behind Luther.

It turned out that the decision of these Space Marines was completely correct, so correct that it could be called a "wise tactical decision."

Ryan just walked over, came in front of Luther, and then stopped. His sight was always focused on Luther, not anyone else, and he did not take a step forward to knock the head off the person in front of him.

Angron tried to stop him but was pushed away by Ryan.

"Luther..." Ryan gritted his teeth, "Do you know what your actions mean?!"

Luther looked directly at Ryan: "It means a correct decision."

Ryan's teeth were chattering.

When the Calibanite Space Marines behind him were all worried about Luther, thinking that Luther might be in trouble for the first time in his life, Angron sensed that Lion didn't want to fight Luther at all.

Being angry is indeed being angry.

But unlike facing other people, Ryan had no intention of attacking Luther at all.

Just...extreme anger in an extremely angry situation.

"I was the one who asked Luther to come here." Qin Xia said.

Ryan slowly turned around and stared at Qin Xia.

At that moment, Luther felt as if a beast turned its body in front of him and stared at others with its scarlet eyes. "Enough, Ryan, I took the initiative to come here." Luther pulled Ryan's arm, "Do you know what Caliban has become? During the period when our entire legion was away from Caliban?"

“No matter what Caliban has become, it’s not an excuse for you to do this.” Ryan’s chest rose and fell violently, as if complaining, “You made me a ridiculous person. I told them a second ago that the First Legion would never get involved in such things, and the result… the result was that you came here… You disappoint me so much, Luther, you disappoint me so much, you…”

"You disappoint the people of Caliban, your brothers and sisters." Luther said, "You don't care about the place where you grew up. Am I wrong in this, Lion? The Empire's management of Caliban is bone-sucking, and your disregard for Caliban makes them even more excessive. What else can I do except beg you to take one more look at Caliban?"

"Is there any way for me to report the unfair treatment suffered by Caliban? When you repeatedly use the so-called... the Emperor will properly arrange Caliban to evade me, what else can I do when I have no other way except to rely on you?"

Luther glanced at Qin Xia.

"What they are fighting for is not only the right of the Astartes to speak, but also the right of your homeland to speak. When the rulers of the Empire ravage our home planet, an Astartes can stand up and tell the Empire to look at Lion's home planet and see what it has become after being ravaged by you people."

"And you, you actually think this is an insignificant matter?"

Faced with Luther's words, Ryan was silent for a long time and didn't know how to respond.

In the end, Ryan simply didn't discuss what Luther was talking about: "Leave my legion and go back to the place you want to go. I don't need you to cause trouble for me in the legion."

Luther took off his helmet, put it into Ryan's arms, and left.

Qin Xia made a "contact me" gesture as Luther walked by. He really intended to help Luther solve the Caliban problem.

"Whatever you plan to do, Luther!" Ryan roared at Luther's back, "Make sure the First Legion has a stable source of troops!"

Luther raised his right hand to show that he heard it.

So, that's it.

In front of everyone, Luther was kicked out of the Great Crusade fleet by the Lion because Luther participated in the Dawn Star Conflict without his permission, turning his previous vow in front of his brothers, "I will not participate," into a joke.

The Lion King couldn't stand the feeling of being undermined by the person he trusted the most.

But he still instructed Luther in front of everyone to ensure the stability of the legion's manpower supply.

A man who was driven out by the Primarch will now return to the Primarch's home planet called Caliban to manage the most important affairs of the Legion. From now on, those Caliban-born Space Marines who are added to the Dark Angels Legion will remember Luther.

Angron standing by looked dumbfounded.

Although he knew what Ryan was thinking, he was still surprised when it happened in front of him.

This is the complexity of the relationship between Luther and Ryan. They always seem distant, but in fact they are very close. Nothing can destroy Ryan's trust in Luther.

"Put aside your conspiracy and stop deceiving Luther." Ryan warned Qin Xia and Angron coldly, and his eyes finally fell on the Caliban warriors.

Ryan took a step forward, and the Space Marines instinctively retreated.

But their Primarch did not do anything, he just walked away with these Caliban warriors.

Angron sensed that the Lion had a special tolerance for the Calibanites, but these Calibanites were not new recruits after all, but Luther's confidants. They were transformed into Space Marines and then followed the Legion to conquer the east and the west... Anyway, they had seen what happened to those Terran Dark Angels who rebelled against the Lion, so they were afraid of the Lion.

Qin Xia and Angron looked at each other, then spread their hands and curled their lips at the same time, looking helpless.

The Dark Angels were the last Space Marines to leave the starport.

After seeing off the meritorious people, Qin Xia and Angron turned and walked towards the starport hangar.

"I plan to go to Caliban." Qin Xia said suddenly.

Angron was not surprised at all. He just sensed that Luther was actually very happy to return to Caliban so that he could cooperate with Qin Xia.

Ryan also unintentionally helped Luther.

"The Imperial rulers on Caliban are really ridiculous and a bit fake." Angron stroked his chin and analyzed as he walked. "They are like spies."

"It's no different from a spy." Qin Xia responded, "Remember the Chaos Corrosion I mentioned before? Caliban is a planet in the midst of Chaos Corrosion. The rulers of the Empire there have probably become lunatics a long time ago. From the perspective of enemies and friends, they are not our own people."

Angron paused.

Qin Xia nodded: "Chaos. After returning from Caliban, I will show you some evidence and then you will understand. In addition, we must also make preparations early."

The two continued on.

The path ahead gradually narrowed and eventually turned into a corridor. After the two walked to the end of the corridor and pushed open the door, they stepped into not a starport hangar, but the command deck of a battleship.

Qin Xia took one look at Angron and knew that the Emperor was using Angron as a hub again to create an illusion for conversation.

It's like this every time.

Whenever the Emperor had anything to say in private, Angron became the communication hub.

It is precisely because of this that Qin Xia feels that Angron has powerful psychic powers that have not been discovered, and that Angron's talent is constantly growing and improving. From being able to only sense emotions at the beginning to being able to read minds now, Angron's body shape can even change.

"Why did you guys get to this point?"

A cold voice came from behind.

The Emperor passed directly through the bodies of Angron and Qin Xia, came to the tactical table, and looked at the alien imperial galaxy displayed on it.

The Emperor didn't look at the two, but he was definitely talking to them.

"..." Qin Xia did not respond in a hurry, but was thinking about what attitude the emperor might express through this communication.

"We want to secure a seat on the Senate floor for the Astartes," Angron said. "As the main force of the Great Crusade, the Astartes have no say and are isolated from the Imperial high command. If this continues, ordinary people and superhumans will go their separate ways."

"I know." The Emperor turned his back to Angron and nodded slightly.

“You know?” Angron laughed in anger. “So what’s the big deal? The consequences of such a thing are clear, but you don’t change it… I really hope I can sense your inner thoughts now, so that you don’t have to use those inefficient communication techniques for so long.”

The Emperor did not remove the block on Angron's perception ability, and still had his back to Angron and Qin Xia, but began to explain slowly.

"Simply because the status quo is only temporary, not permanent."

"The War Council is a temporary tool among temporary tools, the Imperial Senate is a temporary tool, and the Empire itself is a temporary tool."

"You two, one is a Primarch, and the other is an Immortal. Both of you have eternal lives, but you have come to this point because of a temporary problem created by a temporary tool. I am the one who should be confused now. I have racked my brains but still have no idea what you are trying to do."
