Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 115: Hive Void Shield

Gao Yi's fleet has also approached this polluted star field.

He didn't know what was happening there at that moment.

However, when the warship was sailing in the warp, the surrounding warp had begun to take on a strange bloody color.

The battleship's enclosed bulkheads prevented observation by the naked eye.

But psychics are extremely sensitive.

The Astropath and the Navigator already felt uncomfortable, not to mention Gao Yi.

The Xel'Naga projections in his subspace seemed particularly active.

Gao Yi, sitting in the captain's seat, looked at the goose bumps on his arms.

He closed his eyes and his consciousness entered the subspace.

The Divine Emperor's black sun was still beside him, but in the distance, the rich blood color had almost become substantial.

He not only saw the power from Khorne, he even saw the shadow of the demon world.

Part of the planet being transformed has been dragged into the subspace.

And this shadow is still transforming and deepening, becoming more and more solid.

"Has this planet fallen to this point?"

When the Starry Sky Pioneers and their affiliated fleets left the subspace, Gao Yi saw the planet that was caught in a bloody battle.

The fleet orbiting the planet also discovered Gao Yi's arrival, but at this time they didn't even have time to respond to Gao Yi.

Almost all the soldiers that can be dispatched from these imperial warships have been sent to the ground. The fleet has been trying to carry out orbital bombardment of the planet to support the troops on the ground, but with little success.

The Chaos fleets that had been repelled before also reappeared and continued to harass.

Seeing the arrival of Gao Yi's huge fleet, they accelerated their escape again.

Countless soldiers died in battle every moment.

The demonic presence is far too powerful for ordinary mortals.

At this time, the most elite warriors of the Winsterkel Dynasty gathered on this planet. They became stronger with the power of Khorne, and the wealth of the Winsterkel Dynasty armed them to the teeth.

Even after so much time, the team led by Sivir still has not achieved the set tactical goals, and the situation is constantly deteriorating.

It wasn't just demons that killed the soldiers. As the killing continued, killing demons and traitors also provided power to Khorne, and the corruption of Khorne spread more and more across the planet.

The corruption of Khorne is also corrupting the minds of these soldiers.

Those with weak wills even began to attack friendly forces without distinguishing between friend and foe.

As his fleet approached orbit, Gao Yi also observed the battlefield.

The flash of the explosion was clearly visible on the track.

Gao Yi tried to order the weapons on the fleet to aim, but all attempts to lock on failed, except for the main gun of the Star Pioneer.

The technology of the Golden Age was astounding.

The environment in the wilderness outside the hive city has been assimilated by the warp, and plants and beasts from the warp have begun to appear.

And these bloodthirsty beasts are gathering together and heading towards the hive city.

Not only the bloodthirsty hounds, but there are even warp beasts like the bronze bull that are more dangerous than ordinary vampires.

Gao Yi ordered an orbital strike. As the bombardment reached the ground, the location where the subspace beasts gathered was instantly evaporated.

A huge pit appeared on the surface
The characteristics of the Star Pioneer's main gun not only destroyed the enemies on the physical level, but also caused the subspace energy to disappear from that area.

The actions of the Star Herald attracted the attention of all other warships around it.

"It's the powerful flagship of the Monget Dynasty. God-Emperor, what type of main gun is this?!"

However, Gao Yi was not very optimistic, because the vacant subspace was quickly filled again, and the surrounding subspace was too active.

Those demons and beasts will return here again with the help of the rich power of the warp. It is impossible to kill all the demons. These non-material beings are endless.

Gao Yi immediately turned his attention to the nest city.

The barrier between the subspace and the real world is very strong, and the source of all this must be a medium.

It's almost obvious that the medium must be in this hive city.

Gao Yi doesn't need divination, he just needs to destroy it completely!

But when the Star Pioneer turned its guns and aimed at the hive, a large number of communication requests were being received.

And every communication was telling Gao Yi to stop his actions.

"Lord Gao Yi! Inquisitor Sivir, Lord Kurda, even the sages of the Order and the Emperor's Angels of the Death Watch are still inside! You can't do this!"

Hearing their words, Gao Yi couldn't help but rub his head.

"Demons have already appeared in the real universe on such a large scale. Aren't you too brave? Do you think you are too powerful or that the demons of Khorne are too weak?"

However, Gao Yi knew that they had no other choice. After all, they did not have the Starry Sky Pioneer. In order to prevent this planet from completely becoming a demon world, they had no choice but to do this.

Gao Yi admired their sacrifice. Although they often schemed against each other and did inhumane things on weekdays, when it came to justice, Xiweier was indeed worthy of the name of judge.

However, admiration aside, Gao Yi had no intention of putting his soldiers in danger.

If one shot could solve the problem, he didn't want to use other actions that would require more sacrifices.

"Ignore their pleas and charge the main guns to destroy that hive!"

Rather than sacrificing their own troops, it would be better to let Sivir and others who are already prepared complete the sacrifice they are ready for.

Seeing that Gao Yi's warships were still preparing for bombardment, the empire's warships even began to make attacking gestures towards Gao Yi's fleet, especially the warships of the Kulda Dynasty.

They obviously didn't want to see their wandering trader die like this.

Gao Yi's affiliated fleet also immediately made preparations to go to war with them.

But before the internal conflict broke out, the Star Pioneer's main gun had already opened fire.

It was as if a beam of light illuminating the void reached the top of the hive city.

When the main gun hit the location of the hive, the expected destruction did not occur. Instead, a large void shield appeared above the hive.

It is obvious that the Winsterkel Dynasty has also invested heavily in its own capital world.

Gao Yi is good at archaeology, and so can Winsterkyle. Winsterkyle, which has existed for thousands of years, has also dug up some good things.

This void shield was discovered by the Winsterkel Dynasty while exploring this lost world, and it is also suspected to be technology from the Golden Age.

The Winsterkel Dynasty placed it on their capital world to protect the hive.

In the lower nest of the hive city, countless energy pipes extend deep into the ground to provide energy for the void shield generator.

Not only his plasma reactor, but also those energy pipelines draw geothermal energy from the planet.

The Skull Jingguan at the top of the tower also felt the power that could destroy it. The evil magic of the subspace was supporting this void shield to resist all attacks.

Gao Yi clearly saw that the void shield was about to shatter, but every time it was about to shatter, the void shield would hold on again.

Gao Yi's orbital strike also alarmed everyone in this hive city.

The huge roar made everyone look up involuntarily.

The people of the Empire who were fighting in the upper nest where they could see the sky couldn't help but show disappointment in their eyes as they looked at the constantly flashing void shield.

Walton watched all this with pride.

If this hive city could be breached so easily, the Winsterkel Dynasty would not have been able to survive in the expansion area for thousands of years.

"Damn you, you rich bastard! Even my Agathos doesn't have the protection of this void shield!"
