Chapter 146 The Only Requirement
......
An anti-gravity aircraft flew along the equator of Novshendak 5.
Like all products that are an extension of Nuoey's overly superb anti-gravity technology - this aircraft is too ordinary and does not deserve a name.
The ordinary anti-gravity aircraft flew to the surface from the fleet of the Twelve Legions outside the planetary orbit, picked up the people who were going to the Iron Warriors for negotiations, and then pulled it up to near the low-Earth orbit, flying Toward the massive defense line of the Iron Warriors.
Angron stood by the window, using his Primarch's superhuman vision to look down at the defense line where the craft was approaching.
Qin Xia sat in her seat, closing her eyes and relaxing.
Kir, commander of the 12th Army Corps, and Kahn of the 8th Assault Company sat across from Qin Xia solemnly, saying nothing.
This is everyone who is going to negotiate with the Iron Warriors.
Dantioch would have joined the negotiating team, but Angron was afraid that Dantioch would become the target of Perturabo's anger, so he did not let Dantioch go, only let the The venerable Iron Warriors prepare two of the Iron Warriors' great camps.
As for the future of these Iron Warriors... Angron promised Dantioch that he would first go explore the wind and see the situation.
"Their defense is hopeless."
When there was silence in the cabin, Angron suddenly spoke and commented on the Iron Warriors' defense.
On the planet Novshendak 5 alone, the Iron Warriors' defense line is surprisingly strong.
Trenches, fortifications, fortresses, these things can't be built just by stacking manpower and materials. Each of their fortifications has many uses.
For example, those trenches and some fortifications that look extremely easy to break through will gather the attackers together, and then the shooting sights of nearby bunkers and fortresses can perfectly cover the so-called weaknesses, causing unimaginable casualties to the attackers.
Perturabo was a master of positional warfare and defensive warfare, and Angron had no doubt of this.
"If, if we and the Iron Warriors are enemies, can we take down their defense line?" Angron suddenly withdrew his gaze and asked Kil.
"In your name, there is no line of defense that cannot be broken through by the Twelve Legions." Kiel answered very honestly, "It's just that we have to pay an astonishing price."
Ka En echoed the words of the Legion Commander: "The Twelve Legions are good at attacking. As long as you give the order, the World Eaters will complete your offensive goals at all costs."
"..." Angron just asked.
He has been learning about strategy. When he sees the defense line, he will figure out how to attack, whether it is a friendly defense line or an enemy's defense line.
In Angron's opinion, this kind of behavior will make him grow better again.
"The war is over." Kiel said.
The legion commander looked at Qin Xia under the MK2 helmet.
As he said, the war is over.
It is true that wizards are not popular in the legion, but one should only judge people on a case-by-case basis.
Kiel believes that the wizard named Qin Xia in front of him is not only a benefactor to the Twelve Legions regarding the original body, but also a benefactor to the Novshendak galaxy for the elimination of the alien race. Twelve Legions.
The Twelve Legions, who are good at attacking, have to search for and destroy the nests of the alien race with great effort like the Iron Warriors, and then carry out a protracted cyclic war. However, Qin Xia and the think tanks played a great role role and chose the right way to quickly end this war.
Is Qin Xia the kind of wizard who can take care of everything just by showing up? Like an emperor?
Keir thinks not.
But Qin Xia chose the most correct way and the best tactics to deal with this war, so it had an amazing effect, just like they used the most correct way to win Nuceria The most stubborn fortress.
The emotions derived from Kil's thoughts were noticed by Angron.
Angron nodded: "You still have nothing to say."
"Yes, Father." Kil admitted, "I personally think we should leave Novshenda Nemesis To carry out our own Great Expedition of the Twelve Legions, it is not necessary to negotiate with the Iron Warriors. There is no need for us to go to their defense lines and risk talking about things.”
"Novshendak No. 5 must be owned by the Twelfth Army."
Qin Xia, who closed his eyes to rest, still closed his eyes, but opened his mouth.
“This involves one of my researches.”
“I want to weaponize and ammunition my extremely stable psychic energy, which will have a qualitative impact on the combat effectiveness of the Twelve Legions. "
Hearing this, Keir put his hand on his heart.
This is a salute and a way of expressing my approval that I have no objection.
The alien race here can swallow spiritual energy and produce crystals containing spiritual energy.
Kiel is the legion commander, and his experience allows him to figure out what this means without using his brain.
Those crystals are like ammunition. If psychic weapons or devices are manufactured in the future... Qin Xia can open the psychic portal without being present, and can create hundreds or thousands of enemies. A shock wave that breaks into pieces...
Even a recruit of the mortal auxiliary army only needs to take a crystal and a device that can release psychic spells. Just like a weapon, fill the crystal into it and you can use it. Can spell.
This has a qualitative effect on improving the combat effectiveness of the legion.
But the problem is...
Kiel said: "The Fourth Legion Iron Warriors have been fighting in this galaxy so far. They have made great sacrifices, and in the eyes of the Lord of Steel, , we are more like picking peaches. It is conceivable that it is not easy to have control of Novshendak No. 5 and the mining rights of its crystals.”
"So my father and I made two preparations." Angron said, "If Perturabo is not willing, then we will leave here and find a way to use the genes of the alien race we obtained to achieve our goals."
< br>"Yes." Keir responded.
The aircraft showed an obvious falling trend.
When it stops, the hatch opens.
"Go back quickly. If something happens, remember one thing."
Brown, who once again served as a pilot, said through the communicator in the cockpit.
“I’m not just a pilot or a master of statistics. I’m not good at fighting, but I have the ability to fight.”
Angron nodded and stepped off the aircraft first.
The Lord of Steel still did not greet his brother in person, but this time he appointed a trident to greet his brother.
It is the trident named Lando Egger.
"The original body is waiting for you in the war hall." Lando Egg said, "I will take you there." Qin Xia, Kil and Kahn were about to go there with Angron, but Lando Egg When leading them into the most magnificent fortress, they suddenly stopped.
"The original body is in a good mood. There is no need for you to follow, just take a rest."
After Lando Egger finished speaking, the three Iron Warriors stepped forward and motioned for the three of them to follow.
Angron turned to Qin Xia and nodded silently, indicating that there would be no problem.
Qin Xia thought for a while and motioned to the Iron Warrior to lead the way.
The three of them were separated from Angron and taken to a very gorgeous room judging from the Iron Warriors' concepts.
The gate was closed and the three of them were waiting in the room.
……
Perturabo sat on the throne.
Under the black robe, a body as strong as a high wall is hunched, and his eyes are closed like a city gate.
Dantioch, who was not supposed to be here, knelt before his primarch.
Dantioch promised Angron to wait first, but he did not do as he promised, and instead returned to the defense line first.
I came back alone.
"Then, we helped the Twelve Legions destroy the largest nest."
Dantioch has told Perturabo all his experiences after leaving the defense line.
Perturabo asked him to lead two large battalions to establish a defense line at the ancient building complex, and the Twelve Legions had already gone there and established a defense line.
So the task is still not completed.
Dantioch was afraid of Perturabo's wrath like everyone else, but he still decided to come. He felt that Angron was an outsider after all. If he expected Angron to help and say good things, he had to talk to him before. The more than 600 Iron Warriors who left the Twelve Legions, as well as the two camps he took out, may never return to the Legion.
"How much effort did you and your two large battalions do."
"Oh, by the way, there are also those 600 losers. You and them contributed to the Twelve Legions. How much force did you use?"
Unlike Dantioch's expected rage, Perturabo's tone was very calm.
Just like the posture and temperament he is sitting in now, calm and calm.
“The more than 600 battle brothers who previously went to help the Twelve Legions guided them in setting up a defense line.” Dantioch replied, “And the two battalions I brought helped them fight and helped them fight. We helped a lot by staying at the complex when we went out to clean up the lair."
"So you helped them a lot?" Perturabo asked.
Dantioch nodded.
"Well..." the original body made a dull voice, raised his hand and scratched the back of his head connected to the black pipeline, "You did a good job, very good, you completed the task I gave you, you It’s better than most of the trash around me, very good.”
Dantioch looked up at his primarch.
He had expected Perturabo to be furious that his heir was helping the Twelve Legions.
But no, it was a compliment.
Dantioch was not too surprised, because Perturabo didn't know when he was in a good mood or when he was in a bad mood, and acted accordingly.
After thinking carefully, Dantioch was suddenly stunned.
He suspected that he was sent out because the original body wanted to help his brother, but was unwilling to say so directly.
Seemingly realizing that Dantioch had guessed it, Perturabo opened his eyes: "Get out."
Dantioch stood up and left.
He walked to the door and suddenly heard Perturabo's voice coming from behind, as loud as the roar of a radio ordering a charge in a positional battle.
"I like you very much. I have great expectations for you, don't let me down."
Dantioch turned around and saluted, saying the motto of the Fourth Legion: "Wearing armor, with a heart of steel."
"That is what I expect of you, and you are not worthy of saying this." Perturabo frowned, "You are far from being called a heart of steel. You are not qualified to say this, and you never will be."
Dantioch said nothing and turned to leave.
Perturabo forced himself to calm down, without any emotion at all, and waited.
After a while, Angron was brought into the hall by Lando Egger.
Perturabo's body trembled, as if a fortress wanted to rise from the ground, but could not due to gravity.
Anyway, he didn't stand up, he just sat down.
"Perturabo." Angron spoke, sensing emotions at the same time.
Perturabo seemed to have established a mental defense line, which existed in a way that did not allow any emotions to arise.
The Lord of Steel was very dissatisfied with being called by his first name.
Angron sensed that Perturabo's mental defense was gradually collapsing, and various emotions were revealed, the most dissatisfied.
"What's going on?" Petula's voice was thunderous. "Say something quickly. The Fourth Army may be transferred soon. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you or listen to your nonsense."< br>
"All the planets in the Novshandak system will probably belong to the Iron Warriors after the war, right?" Angron said, "Can you give me Novshandak No. 5, or just give it to me?" Give us the right to mine on Novshendak No. 5.”
Outposts will be established in all systems that have been defeated, and then a few unlucky guys will be stationed by the Iron Warriors.
If Dantioch fails to handle things well... Perturabo originally planned to let him stay in the Novshendak system to guard the outpost, but now he no longer plans so.
"Okay." Perturabo agreed without thinking.
But Angron was not thankful at all, because he sensed Perturabo's subsequent emotions.
“I have a request.” Perturabo stood up, “Let’s have a fair and upright duel.”
