Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 112 Simple Turtle Fist

Gao Yi sat steadily on the Starry Sky Pioneer, feeling deeply moved as he looked at another conquered planet beneath his feet.

This is the third galaxy in the Winsterkyle Domain that Gao Yi has broken through.

Countless tragedies occur in every galaxy.

The galaxy we are in now has a mining planet. There are not many enemies, and a considerable number of them are even in the hands of loyalists.

They use mining equipment and the mined minerals to make weapons to fight against the followers of Khorne.

For Gao Yi, the battle against the followers of Khorne was perhaps his favorite battle.

There is no need to face the supernatural plagues of Nurgle, no need to face the reality-altering psychic spells of Tzeentch and the tricks played by Tzeentch's followers, and no need to go through the trouble of searching for the lustful followers of Slaanesh hidden among the crowd.

The followers of Khorne prefer to engage you in head-on, no-frills combat.

When their power overwhelms you, they bring you despair, but when your power in turn crushes them, Gao Yi knows that this group of people is really stupid.

Escape is also not allowed for Khorne believers, which saves Gao Yi the effort of searching the planet for enemies.

Sneak attacks are even more abhorrent to Khorne.

However, Gao Yi also expressed his understanding. After all, the lives of these mortal believers were of no importance to Khorne, and their life or death had no meaning to Him.

As long as you fight to the death, you can provide strength to Khorne.

Thinking of this, Gao Yi also felt a nameless fire.

It seems that mortals are just pawns to these so-called "gods".

No matter who wins or loses, it is just an insignificant game in their endless life.

Looking at his psychic crystal, it returned to nearly one million.

Gao Yi closed his eyes and looked at the projection of his own subspace. The size of his projection increased again.

The black sun of the Divine Emperor still hung high beside him. Although his own projection still looked small, it did not look so vulnerable.

But it is still far from being truly powerful.

Half of the planets belonging to the Winsterkyle Domain have been lost.

Gao Yi has conquered a total of 3 planets.

A feudal world, a mining world, and an agricultural world. These planets are rare resources for the Monget Dynasty. However, even though Gao Yi moved quickly, he was still much slower than the fleet led by Shiver.

There is still a big gap between the two sides in the size of warships and the number of people. After all, they are the integration of several forces, and the star field where Kurda and Winsterkel have disputes is not far from their heartland.

Once she feels that this world is beyond salvation, Sivir can simply issue an extermination order and head straight to the next galaxy.

However, Gao Yi's loss far exceeded the expectations of Xiweier and others, and the losses were much smaller.

If a warship wants to enter a galaxy, it must pass through the Mandeville point, so the defenders of the galaxy often deploy fleets and defense facilities near the Mandeville point.

Warships are often at their most vulnerable when they first enter or leave the subspace.

When the Empire enters a galaxy, it must first eliminate these defensive forces, and it will inevitably suffer losses.

But Gao Yi didn't need that. Gorgon bypassed the Mandeville point and jumped directly into the galaxy to attack from behind.

And when the defenders turned their ships to deal with these attacks from the rear, Gao Yi's Starry Sky Pioneer would attack from the front.

The Star Pioneer becomes the spearhead, crushing the enemy's army with its firepower and shield strength far exceeding that of the enemy, and the damage to the battleship can be repaired on the way forward using SCV.

The following planetary landing battle is still the same old routine.

The main point is the information gap. Before others understand Gao Yi's tactics, Gao Yi thinks this set of turtle punches can be used for a long time.

The other party will not have any defense in this regard at all.

Harald was confused by the battle situation on his warship.

When did attacking a planet become so easy? Gao Yi did not let this group of Astartes participate in the battle, so they did not know the specific process of the battle.

However, the closer they got to the capital world of Winsterkel, the stronger the fighting power of the Khorne believers became.

"How far is it from the capital world of the Winsterkel Dynasty?"

Gao Yi asked the boatswain. "We're still two warp voyages away. There's a Garden World ahead. If you want, we can skip this system and go straight to their capital."

Gao Yi is not very interested in the Garden World. In comparison, he prefers the resource planet, and the population of the Garden World is not very large.

"Leave two warships to deal with the traitors here, and the rest of the fleet will head directly to the capital of Winsterkel!"

------------

The Emperor's Oath was docked in orbit, and the capital of the Winsterkel Dynasty had completely fallen.

At this time, three Chaos warships suddenly appeared near the Mandeville Point in the galaxy and headed towards the corrupted planet.

Demon skulls and various creations representing chaos were installed on the warships.

A hive on the planet's surface has been completely destroyed.

Hundreds of millions of people were buried under the collapsed hive city.

The only two remaining hive cities have been occupied, and bloody killings are happening every moment.

Walten stood in the palace that once belonged to Gorigos. As he killed more and more people, the blessing from Khorne caused his body to mutate more and more.

Even some demonization has begun to appear, and bringing more than a dozen planets into endless war has attracted the attention of Khorne.

He poured more of His power into Volten, whose power surpassed that of an ordinary mortal.

Khorne is the most honest among the four gods, but he is also the most casual. If you give him what you want, he will give you power.

But believing in Khorne may also be the most demanding among the ascended demons.

Perhaps you only gain some power infusion after sacrificing several worlds, but if you show unparalleled courage and kill an opponent that you originally had no chance of killing, you may also be promoted to a demon on the spot.

The killing has caused more and more violations of the laws of physics to occur on this planet.

Magma inexplicably flowed out of the wasteland, and the air began to be filled with a strong smell of sulfur.

Even the void on this planet seemed to be torn into a big hole, and the curtain between reality and subspace became increasingly thin. This planet is now at the junction of the real universe and subspace.

In a sense, it has almost become a half-demon world.

A huge mausoleum is being built inside the spire of the hive city, and fresh skulls are constantly being piled on it.

The once magnificent royal court is now filled with profane symbols.

Beneath the Jingguan, a magic circle drawn with blood continuously flashed with a strange blood-red light.

The sacred relics and warp artifacts that Winsterkel had worshipped and collected for thousands of years now aided Volten in his rituals.

The pure relic was defiled and turned into a relic of chaos.

With the blessing of these defiled holy relics, this Jingguan is accelerating the dragging of the entire planet into the subspace. As the influence of the subspace becomes deeper and deeper, the vampires tear the curtain between the subspace and reality and come to this world.

A demonic world holds an unparalleled allure for these fiends of the Warp.

There will even be great demons and demon princes who will take the initiative to come to this kind of world and transform it.

A small number of vampires appeared in this world with a large group of bloodthirsty hounds. They wandered the earth and even fought each other as if they were fighting for this unowned territory and looking for skulls to harvest.

There is no normal human being to be found on the entire planet.

Feeling the power surging from this body, Walton's emotions became more and more excited.

He might have a chance to abandon this frail body and become an immortal being.

Walten heard heavy footsteps and looked towards the door. An Astarte wearing blood-red power armor strode in.

The Skulltakers, a Renegade Chapter of a hundred Astartes, were also drawn to this world.

They were the Chaos fleet that had attacked the Imperial patrol fleet.

Volten felt no joy at the arrival of these rebellious Astartes. In his eyes, these guys were just here to compete with him for Khorne's favor.

Even though these renegade Astartes have become stronger under the power of the Warp, they are still human, and ascending to magic is still the highest pursuit for them.

And if he could capture this new demon world, he could attract more traitors to join their warband.
