Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 116: Support from the Monget Dynasty
"Lady Sivir! It's a strike from orbit!"

Kurda looked at the rippling void shield and said to Sivir.

Shiver's face was full of regret. Just as Gao Yi thought, he hoped that this orbital strike could destroy the entire hive city.

It doesn't matter if they are turned into dust together. After such death, the Golden Throne of the God-Emperor will come to lead them to the great God-Emperor.

Their advance into the Shangchao area was plagued by numerous obstacles, and heavy troops were deployed near the Skull Jingguan.

Countless fortifications and bunkers meant that every meter of advance would cost lives.

The power armor specially made for the Inquisitor on his body was now covered with bullet holes and sword wounds.

Some of the attacks even penetrated the finely crafted power armor.

Even his transformed body couldn't hold on any longer.

He had suffered heavy losses when his troops advanced here, and the enemy's resistance was more tenacious than he had imagined.

Asbais even began to execute those soldiers who were frightened, trying to use his iron fist to give the troops the courage to advance again.

More and more automatons were destroyed, and the Sage himself joined the battle with the Axe of Om Messiah.

Almost all of the genetically modified warriors of the Kurda Dynasty had died in the battle, and only a few were still closely guarding Asbais.

Many of the Inquisition servants who followed him were killed.

There was even a combat psychic who lost control due to excessive use of psychic powers, and Sivir was forced to kill him personally.

The Astartes of the Death Watch have also seen reductions in numbers.

Howls silently pulled the phase sword in his hand out of the chest of a traitor.

Although these traitors who believed in Khorne failed to kill them, they still caused them a lot of trouble.

The pharmacists in the company are treating the injured members, and more importantly, extracting the gene seeds of the brothers who died in the battle.

These gene-seeds are not retained by the Deathwatch, perhaps being turned over to the Inquisition or returned to their original Chapters.

"The enemy has too many people. As expected, it is impossible for us to reach the target location. These traitors number at least a company, and those Khorne Daemons often act with them."

Howers analyzed calmly that no matter how bad the battle situation was, he had to keep a clear head.

"Inquisitor, perhaps we could attempt to destroy the shield generator so that the orbiting strike force can reach the hive."

"It's very difficult. I know some information that the elevator to the lower nest can lead there, but do we really have time now? Do we have enough remaining strength to kill them all and reach the lower nest?"

"Since none of this works, we should retreat. There's no need to waste our manpower in a meaningless battle. We can gather more troops later."

But Asbais roared loudly.

"Retreat? This is a betrayal to the God-Emperor. As the Emperor's angels, how can you allow demons to wreak havoc in His world? I, Asbais Kulda, will never retreat!"

"Calm down! Asbais, anger will make you lose your mind. If you continue like this, you will also be affected by the power of the evil god!"

Sivir scolded Kulda. He didn't want to retreat, but the facts were exactly as Howers said.

If they fail to achieve their goal and all die here, it will be bad news for the entire expansion area. The two rulers of the largest dynasties and he, the chief inquisitor, all died here. Who will coordinate the overall situation?

The empire was currently struggling to take care of itself and had no resources to support this area.

Sivir tried to send a communication to the fleet in orbit. He had already decided to retreat temporarily.

The warships in orbit also received Shiver's signal.

As the team continued to move forward, their whereabouts were discovered again.

"The enemy is coming again!" Howers changed the magazine of the bolt pistol in his hand.

The vampire's roar once again rang in everyone's ears.

Gans of the Skull Takers warband had already stood in front of everyone, with twenty warband Astartes following closely behind him, and more Renegades had begun to occupy the advantageous terrain nearby.

Looking at Xiweier and the others, Gains's fighting spirit was particularly high. Inquisitor? And an Inquisitor of high status.

What a fitting trophy! These men's heads were far more valuable than those of ordinary Astartes. Sivir gripped the power hammer tightly. Whether they retreated or continued their attack, they had to survive first.

The leader of the Skull Takers gang, Gaines, also brandished the giant axe in his hand. He took off his power helmet, revealing the face underneath that was gradually becoming more demonic.

His own teams had failed to capture this group of followers of the false emperor, so he had no choice but to take their lives himself. He only felt that he would have to change his waist with some more valuable trophies.

"For the God-Emperor! Fight! Fight to the last moment!" Sivir held up the power hammer, and the power emitted by the holy object on her chest made the vampires feel uncomfortable, but that was all.

A battle not for mortals began. The traitors shouted prayers to Khorne and easily tore human bodies apart with their axes, but the loyalists' bombs also took their blasphemous lives.

The mortal soldiers launched a desperate charge towards the enemy, praying in their hearts for the protection of the God-Emperor.

Gains rushed directly towards Halls, the strongest fighter among the loyalists.

Both sides have reasons to win.

Not only did the Empire's fleet receive Sivir's signal, Gao Yi also received it.

"These people are still alive?!"

At this time, Harald also received the call.

"Lord Gao Yi, my wolf pack and I plan to launch a surprise attack on Chaos."

"Just fifteen of you?"

"No matter what, we have to try it!"

Gao Yi also knew that his orbital strikes could not directly eliminate the target.

The Starry Sky Pioneers have already continued their attacks for several times.

The battleship's plasma engines were also unable to sustain continuous fire.

The distorted space weakened some of the power of the ship's guns, but the energy of the void shield seemed endless.

Sending soldiers to conduct airborne strikes ultimately became the only solution.

He also didn't want this world to completely become a demon world. At that time, the enemies that would continue to emerge would be a huge threat to the world he had just occupied, and he would have to consume a lot of resources in a meaningless war of attrition.

"My warriors and I will also go to this planet to stop them, Harald. Let us act together."

"You want to join the battle too?"

"You may not know this, but I am the strongest in the dynasty!"

Gao Yi's words confirmed Harald's previous guess. He had long felt that Gao Yi was not simple.

Even Gao Yi himself doesn’t know what level he can reach if he fights with all his strength.

At least if the Night Sentinels come together, I can easily defeat them.

Kerrigan also wanted to go, but was rejected by Gao Yi. It was too late to develop the Zerg now. If it really didn't work, it would even endanger his own life. Gao Yi needed to keep Kerrigan and directly warp the Zerg into the field.

She is one of the trump cards to protect Gao Yi.

The troops began to assemble, and a large number of landing troops boarded the airdrop capsule, while Gao Yi and the Night Guards also boarded the Space Wolves' Thunderhawk gunships.

And the destination they landed was exactly where Sivir sent the signal.

"Hopefully they can hold out until we arrive!"

The ten Gorgons in the fleet and the Frostwolf Howl rushed into the planet's atmosphere together.

And then came the airdrop pods that fell like raindrops.

A fleet of Gorgons covered the entire hive like a dark cloud.

The priests of the Order of the Holy Mechanicus also joined the ground combat under the leadership of Pavian.

The other Mechanic Orders have their own intelligent control corps, and they also have their own intelligent control corps, which is a huge number of widow mines. The continuously produced widow mines have already filled the warehouse.
Even a hospital ship was ready to carry Thor to the surface.
