Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 138: Breakout from the Upper Nest

Under the artillery fire, one-third of the entire building collapsed directly, and the smoke and dust covering the sky obscured everyone's vision.

The entire upper nest was attracted to this place, but no one dared to approach.

The private soldiers of each noble protected their masters, while the pdf of the planet pretended not to see anything.

Glades has already talked to these nobles, and most of them are willing to give Glades face.

Not only in the upper nest, at this time in Malfi's orbit, the planetary defense fleet belonging to Malfi suddenly launched an attack directly on the four warships of the Monget Dynasty.

Nearby merchant ships and fleets of other forces all took the initiative to move away.

Although they also expressed doubts about the governor's declaration that this dynasty of wandering merchants was heresy.

But they did not want to be drawn into this conflict.

Malfi's warships did not directly attack the Mongot Dynasty's warships.

Instead, they wanted to seize control of these warships. A light cruiser and three Sword-class warships were rare treasures for anyone.

Fortunately, these warships have been on alert, knowing that this operation will not be peaceful.

They also underestimated the individual combat effectiveness of Gao Yi's soldiers.

Gao Yi might still have to consider a battleship bombardment, but Gao Yi's soldiers who board the ship will tell them what true dominance is in this regard.

Glades listened to the soldiers' reports and found that everything was going smoothly in the upper nest.

However, he had already sent several times the number of combatants according to the number of soldiers that the Monget warships could accommodate.

But up to now, we haven't achieved even a little bit of results.

It was even directly suppressed at the broken entrance and could not advance even a little bit.

"A large number of unknown force feedback armors? Maybe even power armor?"

Glades' first reaction was even to think that the soldier had reported something wrong.

During this delay, the engines of the Monget Dynasty's warships began to run again and began to leave orbit.

Malfi's warships were mixed with those of the Monget Dynasty, making a large number of orbital defense platforms dare not fire at will.

Realizing that he could not capture these warships, Glades ordered the defense facilities in orbit to begin concentrated fire, and since he could not get them, he would destroy them.

He thought that his fleet and a large number of orbital defense platforms were enough to destroy these warships.

However, the layers of void shields that lit up actually withstood all the damage. Machine Soul Dayue's technology, coupled with the continuous maintenance of the SCVs inside the battleship, allowed the battleship to withstand the first round of damage.

During these years, the void shield technology of the Star Pioneers and the void shield technology seized from Winsterkel were used.

Pavian improved the void shield technology of the warships belonging to the Monget Dynasty.

The power and strength of the Void Shield are nearly doubled.

With the help of the solid void shield and fire gap, the battleship escaped from orbit at the fastest speed.

The void defense platform can still withstand it, but if Glades directly uses the ground artillery, the void shield will not be able to withstand it.

The ground defense force of this imperial sub-region capital is much stronger than that of the planets in the expansion zone.

Glades didn't expect that such a sudden action would not capture these people.

She began to understand why the gods were so concerned about a dynasty of wandering traders.

Looking at the fleet going away, Glades did not continue to order a pursuit. Damon and the others on the planet were his most important targets.

"Cough cough..."

Ian was surrounded by a layer of psychic shield. With the help of the shield and the strength of the adamantium combat suit, he blocked the damage caused by the explosion.

"Damon, Holt! Are you guys okay?"

Using the communicator in his combat suit, Ian asked about the two people's situation.

"I... I'm fine, by the Divine Emperor! How dare the Governor here attack a Bishop of the State Religion!"

Holt couldn't believe it, this was too blatant!

"Be careful! Did you hear what those soldiers said? It seems we have been declared heretics! The governor here is the hidden heretic!"

Damon relied on his powerful hearing to hear the soldiers' shouts, and Coles also took advantage of the impact of the explosion to escape from Damon.

He realized that he had also been tricked. None of his men responded, and most of them were probably dead. However, he didn't feel sad. As long as he returned to the bottom nest, he could quickly form another team.

He tried to escape from here using the cover of smoke and dust.

But he soon discovered that he was completely surrounded by the governor's private soldiers. Where could he escape to?
The private soldiers soon spotted the fleeing Coles and shot him without hesitation.

"I'm not in the same group with them! I'm also the Governor's man!"

But no matter how he shouted, these cold-blooded soldiers did not stop what they were doing.

"Purify everything. The target is this group of mutants colluding with heretics. They are all assassins trying to kill the Governor!"

Hearing the soldiers' voices, Coles knew that he had become a complete abandonment, and even a victim of frame-up.

The weapons in the hands of these private soldiers are not the weapons used by regular Star Army and PDF.

Some arc weapons that are usually only used by the Mechanicus were also armed on them.

Plasma and molten metal were armed to every person as if they were free, and they were also protected by a full-body armor shell.

Not even a bit of skin was exposed.

If Gao Yi were here, he would definitely be able to sense the obvious subspace corruption from them.

And they don't even belong to the same evil god...

The rubble of the building obviously could not save Coles' life, so he injected all the medicine into his body.

He rushed out and tried to make a final struggle, but almost every one of these soldiers was stronger than him.

Coles was dead, leaving only a pile of broken flesh.

"Leave the bodies. This is evidence of their collusion. Keep moving forward. Those from the Monget Dynasty are still alive."

Before they could advance, Damon had already taken the initiative to attack with the Night Guards around him.

The two Ranger squads also began firing.

For the first time, the sound of C-14 gunfire rang out wherever the Astronomican could illuminate, and the Night Sentinels wandered among the ruins, harvesting the lives of these soldiers.

The warp corruption of these governor's private soldiers is extremely attractive to the Night Sentinels.

The Night Guards rushed out from the smoke and dust.

The Night Shield Guard holding a thickened boarding shield protected everyone from damage.

Damon and his comrades each held a heavy bomb in their hands and used their incredible arm strength to offset the recoil.

Holt and Ian also joined the battle, and the governor's private soldiers, who had an absolute advantage in numbers, were suppressed in turn.

In this close-range combat, the power of the individual is infinitely magnified.

Often a small group of enemies would be wiped out before they could even request support.

Ian squatted down beside the bodies of several private soldiers.

He not only saw the evil magic of the Warp on these corpses, but also saw the blasphemous implants of the Black Oil Man.

"The Governor here actually uses mutants as his personal soldiers? Isn't he afraid of being discovered? She and her family should be burned at the stake!"

Holt was also extremely angry, and there was no room for such things in his eyes.

"If she's not discovered, then she's not committing heresy. If she doesn't want to be discovered, then we can't live!"

Although the first batch of enemies were dealt with, more enemies were still approaching here.

The simple defense line formed by the Rangers and Night Guards blocked the enemy.

"We can't stay here any longer! There's no way these people can really fight an army. Let's hide in a nearby building complex to prevent them from using weapons of mass destruction!"

Damon made a prompt decision and immediately began to lead the team to break out.

Damon and others were afraid that the governor here would get angry and launch a saturation attack without caring about other residents of the upper nest around them. By then, no matter how strong Damon and others were, they were still flesh and blood after all.
