Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 106 Feudal World
As a feudal world, Walipsoria still maintains a social system similar to that of the Middle Ages.

Apart from the armed forces of the Knight Family, there is only a symbolic planetary defense force stationed by Winsterkel on the planet.

The rulers are still these knight nobles.

It's ridiculous that there are even knight mechas, but the civilians under the knight family on this planet live without even electricity.

These knights restricted the development of these people and did not give them any opportunity to learn. Only their followers and servants could enjoy the benefits of civilization.

The worn linen clothes barely covered their thin bodies.

However, it is various mechanical creations that harvest the agricultural products.

They only know how to use it but not the principle.

In the eyes of the knight families, it was completely redundant and unnecessary for these civilians, who were serfs, to learn to read or understand various mechanical knowledge.

So when the Knight Family chose to completely betray the Empire and join Chaos, these civilians could not even possess the most basic resistance power like the civilians in the Hive World.

There might be a chance that a Space Marine could be killed by crude weapons, but there is absolutely no chance that a Knight Mech could be killed.

The Knights' families swept through all the settlements with their private armies, forcing everyone to accept the gift from the Blood God.

If you are unwilling to join the Blood God in the slaughter, you will become someone else's sacrifice.

The number of Chaos Followers has snowballed under the Knights' overwhelming power and long-standing prestige.

The Ranger's warship is approaching orbit.

Edgar looked at the planet under his feet. He had seen this kind of world before. If he didn't stop it, perhaps there would be only one ending for this planet, and that was extinction.

"Political Commissar! Please go to the equipment warehouse and change into your combat uniforms!"

"What do you mean? Do you want to land in this world? There are only 30,000 of you! Are you seeking death by landing in a world with knights now?"

Edgar did not approve of this behavior. The political commissar should let the soldiers charge when they should, and also let the soldiers stay where they are when they should not die.

However, Edgar rarely had the opportunity to do the latter thing during his time as political commissar.

"I'm sorry, Political Commissar Edgar, Lord Gao Yi's orders must be carried out!"

"Lord Gao Yi? Isn't the astronomical language blocked? How did he give the order?"

But no matter what Edgar said, he couldn't change this fact.

The landing capsule began to carry the Rangers one by one.

Edgar also gritted his teeth and walked into a landing capsule. He had already changed into combat uniform and was holding a C-14. Now that all the Rangers had left, there was no reason for him, the political commissar, to stay on the battleship.

Edgar kept saying God’s blessing in his mind.

The other Rangers, however, seemed much more calm.

It’s still the same recipe, and it still tastes the same.

The Banshee has entered orbit and is heading towards engaging those ground defenses.

The surviving planetary defense forces provided the fleet with the coordinates of their firepower, but unfortunately they had not responded to communications in a long time.

The last communication was the sound of the mutinous knights breaking through their position.

"Banshee 1 target destroyed"

"Banshee 2 target destroyed"

…………As one Banshee after another completed their mission.

The airdrop capsule also sounded an alarm, and the Rangers were to establish a beachhead for subsequent armored forces to land.

The airdrop capsule was launched, and the interstellar airdrop capsule, different from the imperial airdrop capsule, continued to descend towards the surface.

The 5000-man Ranger force's target was a ravaged town observed from orbit.

In addition to the traitors who defected to Khorne, a Valiant Ranger Knight and a Styx-class Ranger Knight were also on the battlefield.

"Run! Anna, run!" Ymir urged her sister.

Ymir had spent the past twenty years of her life revolving around the town they were in.

He had little knowledge of the outside world, and the High King and the nobles wouldn't allow a commoner like him to leave the city at will. He didn't know the existence of the Empire, or even the concept of a God-Emperor. All they had been taught was to serve the High King and his knights; they were their own masters.

They didn't even know what chaos or demons were. He only knew that the knight high above seemed to be crazy.

Although the knights usually forced people to participate in bloody gladiatorial contests, it had little to do with farmers like them. But what about now?

He saw with his own eyes that the knight's squire forced Uncle Andrew next door to fight a life-and-death duel with his wife and children.

Uncle Andrew couldn't bring himself to do it, but his son chopped off his parents' heads, and he seemed like a different person afterwards.

Ymir was very familiar with the fifteen-year-old boy, who was usually a quiet and timid person.

But now? His eyes were red, just like those of the mad knights and squires.

He seemed to be enjoying it all.

The knights belonging to the nobility stood outside the city walls.

He looked down at everything that was happening in the city.

"Brother... my legs are weak... I can't run anymore..."

Ymir heard her sister's voice in her ears. Anna had already sat down on the ground.

He trembled all over and tried to get up several times but couldn't.

Everything that was happening around her made the ten-year-old girl completely unable to walk.

Ymir stepped forward and picked up Anna, but just as he was about to escape, the noise he made still attracted the attention of the Khorne believers.

When the other party saw Ymir and the other person, he immediately rushed over here without any hesitation because Anna was a child.

In their eyes, there is only the strong and the weak, not the old and the young.

Under the watchful gaze of the Blood God, everyone must fight, and only the strong are qualified to survive.

Of course, Ymir knew the consequences of being discovered. He knew that he could not attack Anna, and the same went for Anna. The result would be that both of them would be killed.

But how could he, who was barely avoiding starvation, possibly outrun the traitors who were influenced by the power of Khorne?

He put Anna down and picked up the dung fork beside him to make a final struggle. Seeing Ymir pick up the weapon, these Khorne believers became even more excited. Killing those who would not resist would not please Khorne, and since the other party was willing to resist, it could be regarded as the most basic battle.

Just as Ymir was about to be caught, a roar came from the sky, and the two Chaos Knights who were standing there motionless also looked up at the sky.

Countless airdrop pods are crashing towards here.

"Meteor...meteor?"

Ymir couldn't help but mutter, he had seen meteors at night, but was it normal to have so many meteors in broad daylight?

I heard that you can make a wish on a shooting star. Although it has never come true, Ymir still made a wish in her heart from the bottom of her heart again.

"Save us..."

Hundreds of airdrop pods landed directly in various places in the town, and even some Khorne believers were directly killed.

As the hatch opened, the Rangers immediately attacked all the traitors in sight.

Many of these believers were converted from illiterate civilians, and the corruption of Khorne has turned them into madmen who only know how to fight.

He charged towards the Rangers with a machete in hand.

But these mortals are not greenskins, and these weapons alone cannot even break the armor.

Soon a large number of Khorne believers were killed.

Ymir looked at these soldiers he had never seen before. They shouted for the dynasty, although he did not understand what this meant.

But these people protected him and his sister and killed those who had fallen into madness.

The wish came true!
"Stand up, kid, and get inside. This is no place for civilians!"

Edgar also joined the battle, urging the two civilians to leave.

The mortal rebels are easy to deal with, but the difficult ones are the two corrupted knights over there.
