Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 495: The Oil Bottle and the Chatterbox
……

"What would the Emperor say about my decision to allow xenos to join the Imperium?"

Inside the Inters Conference Hall.

Qin Xia and Horus had just come out of the meeting room and were sitting on the steps in the corridor discussing something.

"Emperor?"

Qin Xia felt a little confused when he heard the original body's question.

The Primarch pursed his lips and nodded.

"There is nothing he cares about now except the Webway Project," Qin Xia said. "Besides, even if the Emperor did not withdraw from the Great Crusade, he would be more willing to agree to grant citizenship to the alien races under Intres than you are when he meets Intres."

Hearing this, Horus raised his right eyebrow slightly, looking very surprised.

"The Intres are very strong and advanced. If the dominant race of the Intres, that is, humans, are willing to join the Empire, the Emperor will certainly agree very happily, instead of looking for trouble with the alien races."

"He's a very good compromiser."

"There are many creatures in the human empire that the Emperor cannot tolerate more than the alien races, but he always holds his nose and bears it."

"As you told them, clearing out the alien races is not the Emperor's primary goal in establishing the Empire and conducting the Great Crusade. If tolerating the Intres alien races can help him accomplish his goals faster, then he will have no objection at all."

Listening to what Qin Xia said, the Primarch thought calmly.

Then he found that his understanding of his father seemed to be worse than that of Malcador and Qin Xia.

"The Beastmen are a subhuman race that is particularly susceptible to Chaos. Their origins are all related to Chaos, and the Emperor did not order them to be slaughtered." Qin Xia added, "Don't forget, anything related to Chaos is what the Emperor cannot tolerate the most."

Horus nodded slowly, no longer worried at all.

Since the Emperor would not personally order the purge of the xenos from Interstellar, then others, such as Malcador or the Imperial Senate bureaucrats, had even less to worry about.

"I suggest that Sejanus go to Terra, make this matter clear in the Imperial Senate, and declare that the Luna Wolves will protect all members of the Interres race." Qin Xia thought about it and gave a proper suggestion.

"I thought so too." Horus agreed.

Then Qin Xia stood up from the steps, looked down at the Primarch in front of Horus, and said in a deep voice; "In fact, you don't have to worry so much. You care about the people of Intres, and this is the most important thing."

Horus understood that this "you care" was not just thinking about it, but really doing something.

Just like Corax and Angron, they both cared about their home planet and their people, so when they asked for power as the people's lords born on Nuceria or Salvation rather than as the Emperor's children, the Emperor would naturally give them power.

If they only thought about their home planet, their home planet would be like Caliban.

So what if Lion grew up on Caliban? As long as he doesn't ask the Emperor for power as the Lord of Caliban and doesn't represent the Calibans, then Lion is nothing to the Imperial bureaucrats on Caliban.

"I understand." Horus nodded. "I will arrange for several Luna Wolves to be stationed at Intres to oversee their integration into the Empire."

Seeing that Horus had listened, Qin Xia stopped talking about Interres.

Horus still had one more thing to mention about Intres: "The museum that stores Chaos artifacts... I found that they would keep those dangerous things. Maybe I can persuade them to hand over those artifacts to people with better supervision capabilities."

"The people with the best supervision capabilities are far away and close at hand." Qin Xia said this without any embarrassment, "I am not affected by Chaos, and I have a little man in Caliban robes as an assistant. I can contain any dangerous thing."

Horus thought exactly the same.

Because when Qin Xia mentioned chaos before, he took several chaos creations in his hands as examples, such as the book that recorded the true names of demons, and the great demon Salum used to illustrate the "logic of demonic actions", and Salum's sword.

"Then you must not return to the World Eaters too quickly." Horus said, "I will find a way to convince the Intres people, let them know your situation, and then hand over those Chaos creations to you."

"I'm not in a hurry to go back. Angron should have just finished dealing with the incident in Perfect City, and the army under his command needs to be assembled."

As Qin Xia said this, he thought of how Horus had not waited for the other brothers under his command to gather, but had taken his descendants to continue the Great Crusade and fought all the way to Interres.

Logically speaking, they should have attacked the little emperor first.

And Horus still didn't want to stop: "While we are dealing with the affairs of Intres together, I will arrange for my legions to continue the Great Crusade and eliminate some small forces without my personal command."

"For example, a ruler who calls himself an emperor. This bastard's territory is not even as big as Inters, but he dares to call himself the emperor of the human race and all humans should obey him. He is so arrogant."

"Let my legion use him as a training ground."

"..."

When mentioning the little emperor, Qin Xia said, "Don't let Sejanus go. He will die there."

"Is this a prophecy?" Horus judged the accuracy of Qin Xia's prediction, and then said, "Seyjanus will leave for Terra immediately. I will arrange for Torgaddon to escort him, so of course, he will not participate in the war to eliminate the self-proclaimed emperor."

Qin Xia was naturally relieved.

……

A few more days passed.

The Interres people have reported all the events that have occurred since the contact with the Empire, as well as the opinions and views of Tur and others and the promises and assurances of Horus, to the top leaders of Interres. The Interres people have a special communication method, and the opinions of the people who can truly represent the entire Interres Alliance on the annexation to the Empire are quickly transmitted back - letting Tur represent them in handling the relevant affairs of the annexation to the Empire.

Horus stayed with Tur all day long. As for persuading the Intres people to transfer the chaotic creations, Qin Xia naturally had to be responsible for it.

However, Horus did not just sit there and do nothing, but arranged two people to represent him.

"Torgaddon."

"Lorcan."

Qin Xia waited for the two Shadow Moon Wolves in the square in front of the parliament hall.

He had only met these two people once, and even though Qin Xia knew them very well, he acted rather indifferent at this time.

"Lord of the White Knight."

Togaton and Loken saluted Qin Xia, and when Qin Xia returned the salute and led the way, the two followed behind.

Locke held his head high and looked straight ahead, giving people a feeling that was colder than a robot.

Torgaddon is the exact opposite.

"Look at the battle armor of the Intres people." Torgaddon stared at a warrior guarding the entrance of the conference hall and the warrior's centaur-like "tail". "When I was a child, my mother always told me to marry a woman from a larger place so that I could give birth to healthy children..."

"This experience is not applicable in Inters, right?" Locke replied coldly.

"It may not be inappropriate, otherwise why would they make the tail of the Centaur armor so big?" Torgaddon said with a smile, "Maybe this armor is equivalent to... cosmetics for women in Intres, do you understand what I mean?"

"..." Locke's facial expression under the helmet looked speechless.

But Torgaddon couldn't see through the helmet, so he continued to discuss the volume of the rear part of the Centaur armor for a long time.

It was not until Togaton realized that he was performing a stand-up comedy that he quickened his pace and walked to Qin Xia's side, talking as he walked.

“In fact, I envy think tanks.”

"You know, raise your hand and release lightning, fire, vaporize hundreds of enemies at once or something."

"Then I started thinking, maybe I also have psychic talents but haven't awakened yet... But then I heard that some Librarians had their heads blown off when using psychic powers, so I completely gave up on this idea."

After hearing what Captain Togaton said, Qin Xia was silent for a moment, then spoke after thinking for a while.

"There is indeed such a danger. I once..."

"You're going to mention Caesar again, aren't you?"

Togaton suddenly leaned back, pointed his index fingers at Qin Xia, and had a sly smile on his face without a helmet, as if to say, "I guessed what you're going to say next."

Qin Xia frowned: "How did you know?"

"Your think tanks use this every day to prove the dangers of psychic powers. At the end of the Battle of Ullanor, we, the Luna Wolves, fought side by side with the World Eaters for a period of time. I heard your Great Library Director Varis teaching the newcomers." Torgaddon smiled, "Caesar, live forever."

Qin Xia withdrew his gaze from Togaton.

It seemed that because Qin Xia was different from Locke and paid more attention to him, Togaton became more talkative and lively.

"Abaddon gave you a hard time when you first came to Vengeful Spirit, but believe me, most of us Luna Wolves are like me and admire you very much."

"Not only because of your winning a seat on the Council of Astartes, but also because of your high-pitched joke about Abaddon's pigtails."

"People like me can only make a few jokes about the pigtails in my heart, or tell the jokes to Loken. If I stood in front of Abaddon like you and pinched his pigtails and said that this was his real body, I would definitely be beaten up by him."

"..."

The three of them walked to the entrance of the meeting hall together.

Qin Xia turned around and interrupted Torgadon's chattering: "After you go in, you just need to keep silent. I will talk to the Intres people."

Lorcan nodded.

Torgadon said, "Don't worry, Boss. I know all the rules of negotiation between gang leaders."

"Negotiation with the gang boss?" Qin Xia raised his eyebrows.

"I'm not treating this as a gang negotiation, but I suddenly wanted to imitate the style of the Primarch's home planet," said Torgaddon.

Qin Xia turned around and signaled the Interres guards to open the door.

Torgaddon continued, "Is the Lord of the World Eaters like my Primarch? When he was young, he was no different from an ordinary person. He only appeared to the world after being found by the Emperor?"

"If Angron grew that slowly, he would have been blown up by the Eldar's dart weapons on Nuceria long ago," Qin Xia said.
