Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 10: Harvest! Start now!
Gao Yi understood the battle situation through Damon's perspective and listened to the reports from the warship officers.

"Captain! The cargo AD area has been cleared. According to the servo cranial scan data, the crew losses in the cargo area are as high as 7%. Those who have been rescued will need to undergo further purity testing before returning to duty."

"Are the remaining personnel sufficient to ensure the normal operation of the voidship?"

"It's a stretch, but it's still possible. I hope your warriors can save more people!"

"Eunice Navigator, when can we jump out of the warp?"

"A turbulent current in the Warp is preventing me from finding a safe passage. This is obviously caused by the riot. The corruption of Chaos is like an invisible hand holding us tightly. I see countless pairs of eyes staring at us in the void!

Some unknown entity doesn't want us to leave here easily, but thanks to your warriors, I can sense that this power is weakening!

I believe it won't be long before the Divine Emperor's light guides us once again. As long as we can leave the Warp, we can head to the nearest planet to replenish our resources. Rogue Traders hold an unparalleled position in the sector, and we can also request sufficient personnel from the planetary rulers to compensate for our losses."

After listening to Yunus's words, Gao Yi nodded in agreement. Since he awakened his psychic powers, he could also sense the changes in the subspace within the battleship. As more and more areas were cleared, the influence of the subspace inside the battleship was gradually weakening.

Everything is going in the right direction.

"It feels really good to have a role at the beginning. At least you don't have to do everything yourself. You just need to give orders and someone will do it for you, even sacrifice for you."

Gao Yi, who had just been in this world for two days, began to show some changes in his mentality.

When in this position, Gao Yi began to think about the problem from the perspective of the captain. At this moment, life became just a number to Gao Yi.

"Commander! We've encountered some unique enemies!"

Damon's voice came from the communication. Damon's team was suppressed for the first time. When they arrived at the church, they found that the enemy was besieging the church. The church had been almost completely breached.

They did catch the enemy off guard, and dozens of Nurgle believers were smashed to pieces on the spot, but the remaining Nurgle believers also reacted.

They used zombies to block the way and hid in the complex buildings nearby.

Hearing Damon's answer, Gao Yi closed his eyes again.

He was surprised to find that for the first time, there were casualties among the soldiers wearing CMC?

There was a large corroded hole on the chest of the CMC combat suit of the dead soldier, and the mask of the combat suit had been opened.

The dead soldier inside had his eyes wide open with a look of disbelief on his face. He didn't know how he died until his death.

The deceased's face was a strange green color, and a mixture of blood and pus was flowing out of all his orifices.

Connie frowned and knelt beside the soldier.

He died so quickly...even the nanorobots didn't have time to save his life.

"The nanomedical robot reported back that seven deadly viruses were detected in his body. The virus's genetic sequences weren't found in the medical database, but their mortality rate and transmission rate are both very high. How could this be? How could these two characteristics appear in all viruses?"

Through other people's perspectives, Gao Yi also discovered the special enemies that Damon mentioned.

It was those Nurgle believers. At this time, seven cultists held seven bells. They poured the thick soup in the bowls on themselves. With every shake of the bells, a large number of rot flies would emerge from their cocoons.

These seven cultists are seven insect nests, and in front of them are a large number of zombies blocking the bullets for them.

A swarm of rot flies swarmed toward the soldiers' lines. These flies were too small for the C-14s to effectively stop them; only the sea of ​​fire from the fire bats had any effect. Gao Yi witnessed a machine gunner, unable to retreat in time, being engulfed by a swarm of rot flies.

Each rot fly was like a small plague bomb. When it exploded, it sprayed highly corrosive blood that corroded the armor of the combat uniform.

They don't need to completely corrode the combat uniforms. As long as there is a rupture in any part, such as a fragile mask, the deadly plague can instantly kill the soldiers inside.

"Ahhhhhh! Kill me! Breathe fire at me! For the God-Emperor, my soul will return to the Golden Throne!"

Listening to the dying screams of their comrades, the soldiers in the Fire Bats reluctantly pointed their guns at their comrades.

The flames devoured the rot flies and the unfortunate soldier.

"Psykers? These guys must be using Nurgle magic! Damon, you must find a way to kill them first, otherwise these rot flies will never be killed!"

These rot flies are not living creatures at all, but are condensed from the evil magic of chaos.

Damon tried hard to find the shooting range, but they were hiding behind the zombies. If they forced their way forward, they would inevitably suffer serious losses from the rot flies.

The fire bats were too slow. By the time they rushed over, the cultists had already run away, and there was not enough fuel in the plasma fuel tank!
"Damn it! Commander, I can't find them!"

Damon also began to get anxious.

The battle situation suddenly came to a stalemate.

"Still lacking soldiers with decapitation capabilities... Psykers play a huge role in conventional combat. Wait... Given the terrain around here, can I still recruit Reapers directly?"

Reaper equipment can also be produced in the barracks, but Reapers are not like machine gunners. Users need at least several months of long-term training to operate them proficiently, and Reapers are not suitable for frontal combat, so Gao Yi did not produce them.

But in the current situation, perhaps this highly mobile unit can work wonders?
In the game, Gao Yi doesn't really like to use the Reaper, commonly known as the Reaper. He's clumsy and has always been bad at multitasking. With just one throw of the Reaper, he's left with 800 ores. Operation? What operation? I can't even throw it fast enough!
So Gao Yi had always ignored this type of troops.

He acted immediately. At this time, Gao Yi's psychic crystals were close to ten thousand. He directly consumed one thousand psychic crystals to recruit five death gods.

The beam of light appeared directly on the battlefield again. Damon and his companions were the anchor points of the warp, allowing Gao Yi to directly project units around them.

After a while, the Grim Reaper, wearing light armor and with two twin-turbo suspension jet packs on his back, appeared on the battlefield.

Both sides have discovered these special warriors, but only machine gunners like Damon, who were directly summoned to this world, know their abilities.

"It's the Reaper!"

Looking at the complex buildings around him, Damon immediately understood Gao Yi's intention.

Thanks to the fact that the Warhammer battleship is not the battleship in traditional science fiction works, the interior of the Warhammer battleship is a city, surrounded by countless built houses and extremely high deck heights.

Terrain that is difficult for ordinary people to pass through is no problem for the Grim Reaper.

The backpacks behind these reapers allow them to easily jump onto surrounding buildings and bypass the zombies, and their mobility is enough to allow them to avoid the attacks of rot flies.

"The harvest begins now!"
