Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 107 Thundergod and the Knight

Edgar also charged with the troops, and he couldn't help but look at the two knights.

The Brave-type had removed all its long-range firepower and specialized in close combat. Nothing could stop the giant chainsaw sword it swung, while the huge incendiary heavy artillery of the other Styx-class could easily cover a large area.

And this Knight does just that.

The huge muzzle spewed out deadly flames, instantly burning all the buildings and living things in the target area to ashes.

The airborne troops were all infantry, and they had no weapons that could threaten this knight.

The individual anti-vehicle weapons fired were simply not enough to penetrate their armor.

At this time, inside the mechanical throne of the Styx Patrol Knight.

A man with a ferocious face sat on it.

His consciousness was linked to the machine soul of this knight mecha. Not only himself, but also the machine soul of this patrol knight was filled with bloodthirsty madness.

Even if he hadn't been corrupted by Khorne, the Stygian-class machine spirits were notoriously bloodthirsty, which made him more vulnerable to corruption at this moment.

Many orthodox imperial knight families are even unwilling to use this type of knight, as the machine spirit in it may even affect the operator.

It goes against the virtues of chivalry.

"Kill them, Lancelot. Take control of my body and kill them all! I want more blood! I want to fight!"

The corrupted machine spirit constantly conveyed its will into the mind of the pilot named Lancelot.

Whether it is the driver who influences the machine spirit, or the machine spirit that corrupts the driver, is unknown.

Seeing the Knight wreaking havoc, Edgar knew it was useless, but he still used the C-14 in his hand to shoot at the huge Knight.

"Retreat! This is a fearless sacrifice!"

Edgar shouted to the rangers around him, but he found that no one obeyed his orders as he had no military command authority.

"God Emperor, are you crazy? Sacrifice is fine, but it shouldn't be done in this way!"

Just as Edgar was about to find the officer to give the order to retreat, a voice came from the communicator inside the combat suit.

"Gifts are on the way for those traitors! Hang on, brothers!"

"Gift?"

Edgar looked up and saw four huge Thors rapidly descending to the ground.

Edgar blinked hard, thinking he was dazzled.

He had seen these huge mechas before, but he had never expected them to land in this way.

At this time, the interstellar medical ship was carrying these Thors.

Just like in the game, these can provide long-range treatment for soldiers on the battlefield, and can be used as flying vehicles for troop transports. They can even directly mount huge siege tanks and Thors on the belly and perform rapid maneuvers.

Even in the game, if you have enough skills, you can constantly mount, lower, mount, and lower to allow Thor to avoid a lot of damage and achieve a terrifying battle-to-damage ratio.

Thor continued to descend.

Edgar had heard that the Order even had ships specifically designed to transport Titans, but he had never seen one, and wasn't it too flexible?

This shouldn't be something that appears in a dynasty of wandering traders.

When the effects in the game are intertwined with real-life effects, unexpected effects are produced.

In the game you have to put Thor on the ground before you can shoot.

And here, even when it is mounted, Thor can still provide fire coverage to ground targets.

Before Thor even landed on the ground, he began to cover the two corrupted knights with fire.

Lancelot, who was driving the knight, was dumbfounded.

The incendiary weapon in the knight's hand had just been fired and was still cooling and charging.

This created a brief gap in his firepower, and it was during this gap that he encountered a terrifying barrage of fire. Numerous missiles blazed from Thor's missile bay, and the cannon in his hand, Thor's Hammer, continuously spewed fiery snakes, pelting the two knights with heavy shells.

Following a round of artillery fire, the four Thors successfully landed on the ground.

If the recoil of the artillery was not too strong, the medical ship would not be able to be mounted for a long time, and Thor would not even need to land.

Their taller stature than those of the knights allowed them to overwhelm their opponents both in numbers and momentum.

The four thunder gods, which are completely different from the knight style of Warhammer, seem so out of tune with the surrounding medieval style.

They are more technological.

The Styx Knight's machine soul was wailing, and his long-range firepower made him a key target. The Warrior-class tank also began to charge after withstanding a round of artillery fire.

The knight's movement speed is much faster than Thor's. This is a design problem. Thor's structure is not suitable for running.

But no matter how fast you run, you have to be able to get close to Thor.

The charging knight instantly became the target of concentrated fire, and at this time Thor was equipped with more than just interstellar weapons.

The modular nature allowed Pavian to modify these Thors long ago.

Although the attempt to load a melee weapon failed.

But it also made Pavian use all his attempts to enhance his long-range firepower as much as possible.

However, one Thor's hammer was dismantled and replaced with a massive Plasma Destroyer.

Thor's reactor is sufficient to charge these energy weapons.

However, these modifications have not yet been popularized on all Thors, and even Gao Yi can't afford the price of buying these things.

Manufacturing Thor is simple, but subsequent modification and customization are extremely expensive.

There is nothing that can't be solved by one plasma shot. If that doesn't work, use two. If that still doesn't work, it means your caliber is still too small.

Facing the concentrated fire of four Thors, this Warrior-class tank was hit in the face by several plasma bullets just as it started running, and was completely reduced to scrap metal.

The fate of the remaining Styx-class machine was also sealed, although he was still trying to fight back, firing his shoulder-mounted cannon at Thor.

The incendiary weapon even burned half of a Thor's body.

However, along with Thor, the SCV dropped by the medical ship also landed on the ground. While Thor was being hit, the SCV was also repairing them at the same time.

If they can't destroy the Thor outright or kill the pilot, they can pretty much keep fighting.

The armor of the Styx Knight was torn apart, its engine was destroyed, until the mechanical throne protecting the driver was completely torn apart by the artillery fire.

"Won?"

Edgar had a feeling that it was unreal... Whose Astra Militarum still had knights... If you didn't know, you would think it was the Crusader Army of some Forge World.

Why does it feel like his fighting power is even stronger than that of a knight...

Not to mention that this was Edgar's first time seeing it, it was also Thor's first time being thrown into the battlefield.

There would have been a much simpler way to deal with these knights, but it would have been a shame not to use such a rare opportunity to test Thor's actual combat capabilities in the Warhammer world.

The priests recorded all the data that had just happened.

All these data will be sent back to Agathos as soon as possible.

The remaining traitor knights on the planet also discovered the warship that suddenly appeared in orbit.

Here only the High King began to gather all the knights.

But next they will not only have to face Thor, but also the warships in orbit.

The Gorgons, who can enter the atmosphere, will let them know that there is no chivalry in war...if you fall behind, you will be beaten.

Gao Yi felt the spiritual energy water rising steadily and knew that his advance team must have been engaged in a fight with the enemy.
