Chapter 31 Some notes about this book
Rhythm issues.
I saw some people saying that the early pace was too slow and that the protagonist and his party should escape from the arena as soon as possible.
I really need to explain this.
First, let’s explain it from a plot perspective.
Angron's novel, "Slaves of Nuceria" has only twelve chapters. It is cut from the perspective of the World Eater think tank Tethys, and the original body is shown in a very short space by browsing Angron's memories. of the past.
However, these twelve short chapters, which include a lot of content about the World Eaters Legion, still reflect the characteristics of Nuceria, a place with shallow waters and too many idiots.
A Primarch can be stunned by anesthetic. The first time he was stunned, he was caught in the arena, and the second time he was stunned and hit a nail with nails to wake up after killing Onoma Moss. This anesthetic is The representative of Nuceria's black technology, compared to the high knights and guards who are equipped with silver vine black technology and so on, the anesthetic is not that outrageous.
The gladiators in Slaves of Nuceria escaped from the arena very easily, and there is no description. Anyway, they escaped, killed the slave owner like a dog, and then transformed into the original body and the gladiators instantly. The friends were squatting in the cave. Everyone felt that they would definitely die in the face of the high knight's encirclement and suppression. Angron himself felt that he would definitely die.
Even those who have never seen Slaves of Nuceria must have heard of what happened next, that is, the Emperor came to the rescue.
The Emperor behaves here like a villain in a children's cartoon at eight o'clock at night. He is stupid and stupid. He could obviously go down and kill the slave masters and teleport other people, but he only took Angron away.
These all mean that the strength gap between gladiators and slave owners is extremely disparate. What they gain from escaping the arena is not freedom and victory, but that the gladiators change from the cave of the arena to being trapped. The slave masters surrounded the smaller caves where they were barricaded until their death.
If the protagonist leaves the arena without being prepared, it will only end up being "You, the high knight, have black technology, and I, the gladiator, have the Heavenly Spirit Cap."
Not to mention that Angron will be there when the protagonist comes. He was only a few years old at the time. The Emperor didn't know what he was doing at this time, but he definitely couldn't arrive in time to teleport Angron away.
So this part of the plot must be written in detail, and the protagonist must use this novice protection period in the arena to make full preparations. What's more, the protagonist has the same powerful setting as Uemoto, but he doesn't reach his peak right away. He also needs time to grow. Like Uemoto, it doesn't take a long time, but he just needs it.
……
Then the explanation is from a writing perspective.
The place where Angron was nailed was in the arena. The original body underwent a huge set change in the arena, from a primary body with empathy to a murderous executioner.
In addition, even after Angron was nailed, he could still force himself not to kill the gladiators, and after returning to the Legion, he believed that all Space Marines were inferior to his fellow gladiators.
These gladiators came from the gladiatorial arena.
So for such an important place and such an important group of people, it is impossible for me not to describe it in detail. Because I am writing a long fanfic, I have to write it in detail.
I don’t mean to write about group portraits, and this book will never have a large supporting character scene like the previous one, but the absolute protagonist’s perspective, unless it is necessary to write and you can’t meet the protagonist for the time being. I will only open a small half chapter or a chapter if the supporting character has a significant role in the plot, otherwise the protagonist will observe the supporting character.
Even the main supporting characters are portrayed from the perspective of the protagonist.
Back to the topic. Gladiators can be called humanoid Gundams. If these people join the World Eaters Legion after undergoing Space Marine transformation surgery, they will be the absolute core characters. They are also the core characters of the World Eaters Legion as the protagonists in this book. I don’t think so. It is impossible to describe in detail and in depth those characters that are important in both the early and late stages from the perspective of the protagonist.
If you really want to watch the protagonist and the gladiators escape from the arena now, and have to go on a killing spree instead of being surrounded by slave owners and only Angron is rescued at the last moment, then my suggestion is to go through the subspace and read this book The mid- to late-stage time nodes in the early stage.
