Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 105 The Fallen Knight Family

Khorne's corruption has been completely established, and the nearby warp is surging with a storm of destruction because of this power. Any information seeking help is swallowed up by the warp.

Under the influence of Khorne's power, Chaos runes began to appear on the armor of the Emperor's Oath.

In just a few days, the loyalists on the planet were completely wiped out, and the Chaos believers selected through war and killing were divided into several teams and headed towards the various planets in the Winsterkel domain at the same time.

At this time, Gao Yi's vanguard troops had already headed towards the landing port.

Political Commissar Edgar was also among this force.

Three frigates and transport ships carrying a large amount of equipment and supplies are sailing in the warp.

The navigator guided the warship in his own sanctuary, and these discovered safe routes seemed so peaceful at this time.

Edgar also stayed on the bridge with nothing to do. He swore to the God-Emperor that this was the most trouble-free Astra Militarum he had ever seen.

There was no messy infighting, no boring disputes, and strict discipline was thoroughly implemented on everyone in the army.

He became more and more fond of this army called Rangers.

Edgar took a bite of the canned mushrooms and fresh vegetables on the plate and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

This is also thanks to the ecological recycling system brought back by Gao Yi, which allows most of the crew members to eat food that was once extremely expensive.

However, this time the subspace voyage took much longer than expected. The journey that was originally expected to take ten to twenty days to complete took a month.

However, the navigator's report showed that everything was normal.

However, the duration of subspace travel is inherently uncertain, so no one took it seriously.

And when everyone thought it was a peaceful warp voyage, the battleship suddenly began to tremble.

Any abnormality occurring in the subspace could cost everyone's life, and everyone on the battleship became nervous.

The navigator's communication also reached the bridge.

"A sudden warp storm disrupted the route? Do we have to jump out of the warp now? Where did the navigator jump out from?!"

The boatswain beside him immediately replied, "Vapolis is a feudal world of the Winsterkel Dynasty."

After hearing the reply, the captain thought about it for a while. After all, this was not a trading planet. The sudden appearance of a fleet in the galaxy of other dynasties would inevitably cause some misunderstandings.

But there is no way now. It is impossible to rush directly through the subspace storm in front of us. The frigates may be able to withstand it, but the large transport ships behind them cannot. The troops, vehicles and supplies are all on these ships.

"Prepare for the jump. At least they have made a deal with our dynasty. If we explain it clearly, there shouldn't be any problems. All ships should be on high alert to prevent possible corruption in the warp!"

The captain gave orders, and the crew changed into combat uniforms and began patrolling the battleship and guarding important compartments.

The power of the warp engine was increased to the maximum. As the battleship rushed out of the warp, there was no relaxed expression on everyone's face.

As soon as we entered the galaxy, the communication immediately popped up a response.

"Who are you? Identify yourselves!"

The other party's voice sounded so nervous.

"We are the fleet of the Monget Dynasty. We temporarily jumped here due to the subspace storm. We will leave immediately after we find the route!"

"God Emperor! Don't leave! We need support!"

"Backup? What happened?"

"Lord Gorigos is dead! The Emperor's Oath has been captured by Chaos! They're heading for the Capital World!

And Chaos has corrupted our planet too! The great Knight House has rebelled!

Upon hearing this news, the captain was also stunned.

Gorigos is dead? This is enough to alarm the entire expansion area.

"Have you warned other worlds through astropathic communication? Have you reported this to the Empire?" "The nearby warp is isolated, and no astropathic communication can be sent out! Our astropath has gone mad, and I killed him myself! God-Emperor, how many of you are there? We can't hold out for much longer!"

The captain tried to contact Agathos through the astropath, but as expected, the astropath's attempts failed, and he even fell into a state of exhaustion due to the nearby warp storm.

Fortunately, the battleship still has a communication system, which is the quantum communication that has been cracked and manufactured.

The captain left the battleship and walked towards his own captain's room, where this set of facilities was placed in his exclusive room.

As he sent the information he learned to Agathos, the responsible communicator immediately reported it to Gao Yi.

"Gorigos is dead?"

Things began to change, and he didn't expect that his reminder did not save the dynasty, but instead accelerated his death.

If all of Winterkel fell into the arms of Khorne, it would be a major event that would sweep across the entire Expanse.

This opponent is not the rebels. As the number of sacrifices increases, Khorne's demon army will descend into the physical universe, and even the Great Demon of Khorne will appear.

After thinking for a moment, Gao Yi decided to tell the Empire and the Inquisition about this matter first.

The matter of supporting the Misty Star Region must be slow. If the fire in the backyard starts, it will be enough to burn down countless worlds.

"Vill, assemble the troops! We've changed our target! Prepare the troops to head for the Winsterkel Territory!"

And Harald also discovered the troop movements.

When he learned that Chaos had emerged and swept across many worlds, they also chose to join.

And the Rangers in Vapolis also received a reply.

The other side's feudal world has a knight family, which is a good opportunity to test Thor's combat effectiveness.

This is also an opportunity to test the coordination between infantry and these heavy vehicles.

The captain returned to the bridge and immediately ordered the fleet to approach the planet.

Edgar didn't expect the battle to come so suddenly.

But he was also pleased with the decisiveness of these soldiers in facing the enemy!

As expected, they are the Astra Militarum that can be called the Hammer of the Emperor!

And when the fleet with 5 men on board approached the planet, five Gorgons jumped in from where they had left.

There are always 20 Gorgons in orbit around Agathos, ready to provide support at any location.

Variporos is a habitable feudal world ruled by a knight family in alliance with the Winsterkel family.

A total of 25 knight mechas represent the entire strength of this knight family.

However, this family does not have the so-called aristocratic spirit, although they protect the people of this planet from external harm.

However, they not only exploit the people internally, but also force the civilians under their command to engage in bloody fights.

Those who survived could become guards of these knight nobles and escape the status of serfs.

This martial spirit has tended to spread to almost every world under the influence of Gorigos.

The rebellion of the Knights showed just how deeply Khorne's corruption had penetrated into Winterkel.

The enjoyment of battle, a quality that a warrior should possess, inadvertently corrupted these loyalists.

By the time they realize their thinking is starting to go awry, it's already too late.

The seeds of chaos are planted in the soul, and when needed, they break out of the ground and completely devour the person.
