Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 108: Chivalry? What the hell is that?
Fabius, the High King of the Knight Family of Varipus, was enjoying killing in his family castle.

The originally noble knight has now completely fallen.

The Planetary Defense Force's base was easily breached by his knights, and the captives were taken here for bloody gladiatorial combat.

The huge arena was littered with corpses and severed heads, watching the soldiers who believed in the false emperor fighting a life-and-death battle for their lives.

Fabius was sitting on his throne admiring everything in the arena, but his originally holy throne was now hung with skulls.

He felt that he would soon be able to sacrifice the entire planet to the great Blood God, and then he and his family knights would spread the flames of war to every corner of the expansion area.

His collaborator Walten has already gone to the capital world. Once that world with a large population and armaments is captured, he will sweep every corner with that huge army.

Countless skulls, countless blood, just thinking about it made Fabius excited.

The family members and servants gathered around the arena suddenly burst into excited shouts, and the bloody fight in the arena was over.

A man still wearing the Imperial military uniform knelt on the ground, and around him lay the bodies of his comrades.

He covered his face and cried, but the corruption brought by Khorne's continuous killing was also affecting his will and soul.

He tried his best to restrain himself, murmuring the name of the Divine Emperor, but he still felt that he was falling into an irreversible abyss.

"Battle itself should be enjoyable, but they fought for their lives. They shouted the name of the cursed one, but now their oath is like shit and they have thrown it to the back of their minds. Look at them. What pitiful fellows! You will soon forget the fear of killing your companions. There is nothing more exciting than the blood and skulls of others!"

Fabius knew that the survivors in the arena were merely putting up a futile resistance. As the last one to survive, his bravery would be blessed by Khorne, and he would also gain a powerful follower.

Soon he would learn the benefits of worshipping the Blood God.

Just as he was waiting for his knights to capture all the settlements on the planet and sacrifice his former people to the Blood God, one of his sons ran to him in a panic.

"Father, Sir Lancelot, and Sir Louis are all dead! The sacred knight mecha is also destroyed!"

The orbital Rangers' raid was so fast that by the time Fabius received the battle report, the battle at the raid site was already over.

And the raid was not limited to this one.

Hearing this, Fabius stood up from his throne.

The reason for his anger was not the enemy's attack. He would not refuse any battle. What made him angry was that the knights under his command were useless. The losers were not worthy of living. Even if they escaped alive, Fabius would kill them and let stronger people control the knight mecha.

"Who is the enemy?"

"It's the army of the Monget Dynasty!"

"The Monget Dynasty? Summon all the knights to the family castle! Have the Hallows Keeper activate my mechanical throne!"

Fabius knew that since the other party had already landed on the surface, they would definitely come here, and he would lead his knights to crush their attack.

The powerful void shield surrounding the family castle can resist threats from the air, while the ground battlefield.

Apart from the Titan Legion, his knight family has never been defeated by anyone. A powerful knight is equivalent to the firepower of an entire tank squadron. He will let these invaders know who is the master of this planet.

Fabius imagined himself defeating these enemies and offering their skulls to Khorne in exchange for greater power.

But suddenly the family castle began to shake violently, and the shock wave generated by the huge explosion made him fall directly to the ground.

"What happened! What on earth happened?!"

Fabius roared, but the explosions continued one after another.

The castle guards ran over in terror, shouting, "High King, it's a warship! There's a warship over the castle!!"

"Battleship?! Impossible!"

He knew the Empire's normal warship configuration. A Rogue Merchant Dynasty couldn't possibly spend the enormous expense of purchasing strike cruisers. Even if they could afford it, there was no need to do so; it wasn't in the interests of a Rogue Merchant Dynasty. "Quickly activate the Void Shield!"

Although he couldn't figure out the reason, he still commanded his army.

But the void shield did not activate according to his command.

At this time, in the room where the void shield was maintained, the ground was full of corpses of Khorne believers. Most of the corpses died from being shot in the head, and some were cut in half by psychic light blades.

The energy engine that maintains the void shield has been overloaded, and it is impossible to restart it in a short time.

And two figures gradually emerged.

The two ghosts looked at the corpses on the ground with disgust. These ghosts were also survivors of the Chaos Rebellion. They also extremely hated these guys who believed in Chaos.

Gao Yi's Ghost Academy is also constantly expanding its enrollment. There are quite a few psychics produced by the huge population base, although not everyone has the psychic level to become a ghost.

But the size of the ghost army has reached 30 people.

A two-man ghost team also joined the advance team. From the moment the airborne strike began, the two ghosts also came to the surface with the help of Banshee fighters.

Relying on their invisibility abilities, they sneaked into the castle, and their mind control abilities allowed them to locate the void shield generator compartment and destroy it.

"The ghost has completed the mission!"

With the briefing over, the two men became invisible again and headed towards other important facilities.

Fabius stumbled towards the hangar where his knight mech was located.

But at this moment, these distances seemed to be taking his life.

"This is not a battle of honor! If you have the guts, fight my knights in a fair duel! Shameless follower of the false emperor!!"

If Gao Yi heard this, he would definitely think that his brain was burned by the corruption of the Warp. Who told you about chivalry? From the moment you threw yourself into Chaos, there was no honor to speak of.

At this time, the five Gorgons that had warped into this galaxy made a direct tactical warp to the sky above this group of castles, leaving the enemy no time to react.

Gao Yi never thought about having a glorious face-to-face confrontation with this group of inhuman guys.

Even if Gao Yi has the advantage, the remaining nearly twenty knights are still a huge threat. If they clash head-on, losses are inevitable.

After paralyzing the opponent's void shield, any resistance would be futile under the absolute air superiority of the five Gorgons.

Some knight mechas on standby rushed out of their hangars and fired at the Gorgon in the air with their weapons.

However, weapons capable of destroying heavy vehicles are powerless against the energy shields of battleships.

If you were a volcanic cannon on a Titan, you might be able to pose a threat to the Gorgon, but who made you just a knight?

While destroying the castle, the Gorgon also quickly locked onto all the knight mechas that were still able to move, and directly overwhelmed them with its massive firepower without any reservation.

No matter what level of knight you are, you cannot withstand the charged Yamato cannon. This is a difference in size, which is not so easy to make up. It is like a heavyweight player against a lightweight player. Even if the opponent has high skills, it is almost impossible to win.

This desecrated castle now serves as a tomb for these Khorne believers.

Without the protection of the void shield, no matter how big the castle is, it will not be able to withstand the onslaught of warships.

The Gorgon's blitz lasted for an hour, and there was no intact building or living enemy within dozens of kilometers.

"The enemy has been cleared, requesting Rangers to move in and clear the battlefield."
