Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 633: Saints of Mars
……

The Imperial Guards and the future Forge General landed in an industrial area somewhere on Mars.

This industrial zone is just an ordinary one among the countless industrial zones on Mars, and its function is to smelt metals.

The only unique thing about this industrial area is that it is the birthplace of the quadrant.

Quadrant came to this hometown again after the war between master and apprentice.

This abominable hometown, filled with painful memories, is like hell.

The person in charge of managing the smelting plant has been replaced by another priest, but this priest, like the previous manager, believes that he is not qualified to care about the relationship between Quadrant and Kelbo, and only needs to care that Quadrant is a person who attracts much attention.

So the welcoming ceremony was held.

"My Lord, what are your orders?" The priest made a gear salute to the quadrant.

Quadrant said nothing, but just walked into the warehouse and used the materials inside to invent.

Two things were created.

The first one is used to purify the air in the smelter.

The second is used to ensure that the living quarters of the smelter are maintained at a comfortable constant temperature.

Only then did the Quadrant speak to the priest: “Arrange these two things and benefit everyone.”

The priest gave the order, and the servitors deployed the two devices in the smelter.

"You can ask for it," said the Quadrant. "The God of All Things will allow you to benefit from me."

The priest had heard that Quadrant would share technology, so he transmitted a piece of information to Quadrant: "This is the implant research I'm doing, I hope you can help me..."

Data streams flashed in the quadrant's eyes, and then the information was transmitted back to the priest.

That information has been perfected by the quadrant.

All kinds of things that priests need decades to study are given by the Quadrant in an instant.

"Praise you." The priest performed the cogwheel salute again.

"Praise the God of All Things, this is God's will." Quadrant said, "I hope to lead the prayer today."

"Of course." The priest arranged it immediately.

The people on Mars are born as believers of the Mechanicus, and prayer is one of the few breaks in their busy daily work.

When the binary chant was finished, the Quadrant stood up from the crowd and came in front of all the kneeling people under the protection of the Guards.

"After being exiled from Mars, I was inspired by the God of All Machines while traveling the galaxy."

Quadrant opening.

"God has made me see the present."

"I saw the gifts of God become shackles for believers. I saw Mars, which should have been a paradise of knowledge and science, become the cruelest place in the galaxy. I saw science and technology, the gifts and enlightenment of the God of All Things, being monopolized by mortals and becoming a tool for them to enslave people."

“Science and technology are gifts from God. We should have used them to create a paradise on earth, but some people used them to create a hell.”

"..."

Hearing this, the priest in charge of the smelter was shocked, because Quadrant was now equivalent to proposing a new sectarian theory.

The priest listened in silence.

When Quadrant finished his sermon-like narration, the priest extracted the core ideas from Quadrant's words.

which is:
All science and technology are gifts from the God of All Things. Technology comes from the flash of inspiration of every scientist in every era of human history. This flash of inspiration is God's enlightenment.

Science and technology have changed the way humans live. The entire human species has benefited from it since the invention of the first metal smelting technology. This proves that the original intention of the God of All Machines is for technology to serve humanity, and that humans should use God's gifts to create a paradise rather than a hell like Mars.

That's what the quadrants are talking about.

Such words would have made the Quadrant make countless enemies on Mars. Even Kelbor's enemies would stand against the Quadrant because of the conflict of religious ideas.

Because Quadrant is not a big shot yet and has no authority to interpret the scriptures.

But most people on Mars believe that the Emperor is the Omniscient Messiah and the Prophet of the Trinity, and the Emperor's spokesperson, the Custodians, is standing behind the Quadrant at this time.

The presence of these Custodes provides support to the Quadrant, and the Quadrant's words and deeds also imply that the Emperor stands behind him.

"I will reshape all of this." Quadrant stretched out his arms and all his appendages. "I will start with giving."

A transport plane entered Mars from outside orbit and gradually descended towards the smelter.

The person in charge of managing the Martian airspace is Kelbo's opponent. Quadrant knows this, so he dares to let the transport plane fly down.

As the transport plane landed in full view of everyone, something unexpected happened in the Quadrant.

A drop of rain fell from the sky and landed on the face of a mortal laborer.

The laborer reached out his hand to wipe off the rain, and put his index finger in front of his eyes to check to make sure it was rain and not acid rain.

The rain came down suddenly, gradually turning into a downpour.

The sun was still shining, and there was no cloud in the sky except for the thick toxic industrial waste gas.

"miracle!"

Suddenly someone shouted.

Rain on Mars is a miracle.

When the Prophet Om Messiah, the Emperor, descended upon Mount Olympus on Mars, a torrential rain began to fall from the sky.

The transport plane landed in the rain and the hatch opened.

The servitors dragged boxes out of the transport plane and opened them, revealing implants and prostheses. All of these were made by the Quadrant, enough to transform every worker and replace their original inferior implants and prostheses.

Quadrant walked over to the box, appendages extending out various surgical tools.

He first came to a child holding a prosthetic arm.

The child's right hand was transformed into a pair of pliers.

Quadrant remained silent and immediately replaced the child's prosthetic arm.

Then the respiratory implants that would make the filtered air boiling were also removed and replaced by the quadrant.

After doing this, the quadrant moves on to the next person and repeats the same thing.

It wasn't until a whole day had passed that Quadrant completed replacing the prosthetics for everyone.

Heavy rain continued to fall during this period.

After finishing what he had to do, Quadrant did not stand there to accept everyone's gratitude, but walked out of the smelter with the imperial guards.

"Where are you going?" The priest who managed the smelter immediately chased after him and asked.

"A pilgrimage. To Olympus," the Quadrant replied. "I will preach and bring benefit to all along the way, so that they can benefit from my teachings in body and soul."

"Walking to Mount Olympus?" The priest couldn't believe it. "The wilderness of Mars is full of mutants and ancient machines..."

"I have nothing to fear." Quadrant looked up at the sky, bathing in the heavy rain, "because I walk with God."

The priest bowed: "May I have the honor to ..."

Without hesitation, Quadrant held out his hand to the priest.

The priest immediately followed, and together with the Quadrant and the Guards, they set out into the storm-ravaged wilderness.

After they left, the miraculous rain suddenly stopped.

……

Quadrant hike to Mount Olympus.

Starting from an unknown smelter in an industrial zone, head to the Olympus Crater on the other side of the planet, where the Emperor descended on Mars.

The quadrant passed through the industrial area, through the wilderness, passed by the foundry district, passed by the Skitarii camp, passed by the city...

Wherever he arrives at a place, Quadrant will preach while leading everyone in prayer, replace expensive prosthetics and implants for free for civilian workers, and provide technology to middle-level Mechanicus such as priests. No matter who finds Quadrant and asks him for help, Quadrant will agree.

Whenever the stage of granting grace is being performed, heavy rain will come from the sky, as if the heavy rain is a symbol of the grace of the God of All Things.

At first, this pilgrim team centered around the Quadrant consisted of only the Imperial Guards, the Quadrant, and the smelter priest.

Later, they were joined by laborers, priests, Skitarii soldiers, and even higher-ranking people such as sages and Skitarii generals.

Those who master the technology will assist the Quadrant when the Quadrant replaces the prosthesis for the workers free of charge.

Those who know how to use force will fight against mutated monsters or ancient mechanical sentinels as the pilgrims travel through the wilderness.

In the end, even the monsters in the wilderness gathered together, accompanying the pilgrims and moving forward with the Quadrant.

The pilgrims do not carry any vehicles or supplies.

At each place the pilgrims were greeted and given provisions, then continued on their way after preaching and granting of grace.

Until he was almost reaching Mount Olympus, Quadrant still hadn't contacted those who were willing to support him.

Because those who support him will take the initiative to contact Quadrant after learning about the pilgrimage team.

At night, when the pilgrims set up camp in the wilderness to rest, the Quadrant would chat around the campfire with those who supported them or were willing to help them.

Talk about faith, talk about Kyle Bohar, talk about everything.

More and more people gathered around the quadrant.

The news of the pilgrimage team first spread in a small area on Mars, then suddenly disappeared overnight, and then suddenly spread everywhere, making it known to all Martians.

Quadrant could also realize that this was because Kelbohar had failed to successfully ban news about himself, and Kelbo's opponents began to promote themselves.

Kelbo's opponents are also scattered, and they often fight among themselves, but now they suddenly unite because they have found a banner that can fight against Kelbo - the Quadrant.

Everyone can benefit from the Quadrant, no matter what class they are in.

Eventually the pilgrims arrived at Mount Olympus.

When the Quadrant arrived at the top of the crater, the place where the Emperor descended, surrounded by the crowd, a rainstorm followed.

The forerunners of the pilgrimage team had already set up a towering pulpit here.

As Quadrant was walking towards the pulpit, he suddenly saw the person he least wanted to see.

Kelbohar, with a group of high-ranking members of the Mechanicum who supported him, looked up at the pulpit.

When he sensed the arrival of the Quadrant, Kelber looked towards it and said, "My good apprentice. I didn't have the chance to greet you when you came to Mars before."

Kelbo just wants the disgusting quadrant.

But the quadrant didn't react at all and just walked past Kelbo.

He knew that severing the battle between master and apprentice was not the end of the confrontation between the two, but the beginning.

It is on Mars that he will face his final battle with Kelbo, a battle that will destroy Kelbo's identity as a mentor, his power, and even his entire personality.

The pilgrims followed the quadrant and passed by Kelbo and others.

Kelbo and his entourage were like seaweed in the sea, being bypassed by schools of fish on both sides. Even though he and his entourage were not small in number, they still seemed "lonely" compared to the hundreds of thousands of pilgrims.
