Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 148 Zerg Network
"Father, the Zerg led by Zagara has completely taken root in the Boehir as planned!"

Kerrigan walked up to Gao Yi as if to seek credit.

Gao Yi also touched Kerrigan's head, and the plan was successful.

The stronger Zerg will continue to advance from the bottom nest upwards.

The advantage of farming is that the moment farming is completely formed, the entire battle situation begins to break through.

Gao Yi also discovered that a large number of Zerg gathered together would form a hive network in the nearby subspace, similar to the subspace shadow of the Tyranids. It would interfere with those around them who tried to obtain psychic energy from the subspace like signal interference, but unlike the shadow formed by the Tyranids, this interference had no effect on ordinary humans.

This gives the Zerg an advantage against those with psionic talents.

Gao Yi was also surprised when he learned that special individuals like Zagara began to appear in the Zerg swarm.

"Kerrigan, can the Zerg produce special individuals like Abathur?"

Abathur, the scientist unit of the Zerg, can further design and modify the genes of existing Zerg units.

With units like this, the Zerg can have more possibilities in Warhammer.

When we really face the Tyranids in the future, we will have more advantages. You can devour me, and I can also collect your genes for further strengthening.

"Abathur does exist in my memories, but Father, this requires a much larger swarm. The number of swarms must be at least three to four times greater before I can possess more powerful psychic energy to produce this special individual."

Hearing this, Gao Yi was very satisfied. As long as they could produce, it would be fine. There were many planets that could be colonized in the uninhabited star field where Char was located, and the alien insects were not picky about the living environment.

At this time, in the passage secretly built by Franky, Glades was no longer in danger of life, but the mutation of his body could no longer be hidden.

This made her originally perfect appearance look unusually hideous. She wondered if the people of Malfi, who once trusted and followed her, would still think that their governor was not a heretic after seeing her current appearance.

Glades, who covered himself tightly, came to his second command post in the lower nest.

Countless factories are constantly producing war materials, and the hidden dark oil men provide the planet Malfi with technology that it does not have.

However, during the time she lost contact, her command system had fallen into chaos. Some people thought she was dead and advocated giving up resistance.

After all, the Inquisition has already declared Glades a heretic, and not everyone has the courage to stand up to the notorious Inquisition.

But there are also those die-hard fans of Glades who don't believe that Glades is dead, after all, they haven't seen her body.

They wanted to fight Gao Yi to the death.

But when Glades appeared again, both those who advocated surrender and those who advocated resistance fell silent.

Because their governor's appearance can hardly be called human.

And she, who had once been considered a wise ruler towards the civilians of Malfi, began to issue orders that were difficult for them to accept.

Men and women, young and old, soldiers and workers, all must take up arms and fight.

She wanted to make every corner of Malfi a burial place for the soldiers of the Monget dynasty.

Anyone who refuses will be executed.

"Governor, they're just civilians. Sending these inexperienced people to the battlefield is like sending them to their deaths. Didn't you say you'd treat them well?!"

One officer couldn't understand Glades' request.
But the next second, Frankie's witchcraft killed her, and Glades watched it all without changing his expression.

"I am the Governor of Malfi. I am the ruler of this planet! Follow my orders!"

Glades said in an unquestionable tone.

"If you don't want to, just go and die. Someone else will do your job."

The fear of death and Glades's already established prestige made the soldiers choose to obey.

Countless civilians were driven from their homes by the military and distributed weapons.

Fear and death are spreading in Malfi. Those PDFs and guards who have been secretly corrupted have also been formed into supervision teams, and they will execute those who resist and refuse without hesitation.

Glades and Franky are also waiting for the crazy cultists in the bottom nest to join the war.

"Frankie? What's going on? Where are the people?!"

According to the plan, these cultists who believed in different evil gods should have been prepared by now. As long as the gate was opened, the Malfi garrison responsible for guarding it would not stop them according to orders.

But now? There was no living creature in the dark passage leading to the bottom nest.

"What on earth is going on?" Franky had no idea what was going on.

Not only that, as the gate opened, he suddenly felt his connection to the warp weaken.

He tried hard to mobilize his psychic energy and cast psychic spells, trying to find the cause.

But as his divination spell began to take effect, an extremely terrifying thought suddenly broke into his mind.

What caught his eye was a dark purple shell, a creature he had never seen before appeared in his divination.

But as he went deeper into the divination, he saw a planet of flesh and blood filled with alien creatures he had never seen before.

The purple fungal mat kept wriggling as if it were alive.

And in the endless sea of ​​insects, a woman with arthropod tentacles behind her was standing proudly in the center of the sea of ​​insects.

These xenos rallied their queen.

When he looked at the other person and wanted to find out his identity, extremely powerful spiritual energy emerged from the other person's body and rushed towards him in an instant.

The Zerg network impacted his brain, and he immediately stopped his psychic sorcery.

However, the residual power of his psychic power still caused Franky to suffer a strong psychic backlash.

Franky twitched, blood oozing from his facial features.

Glades seemed to see a female alien shadow behind him, and the power displayed by the other party made everyone present unable to help but step back.

"Frankie, tell me! Tell me what happened!"

"Aliens... There are countless monsters in the base nest! Quick! Close the gate! Quick!"

Franky yelled.

"Monsters? Close the gates? What about the army I need? You said it! The gods promised me!"

Franky no longer had the energy to explain to Glades.

It was precisely because of Glades' hesitation that the Zerg began their own actions.

Gao Yi watched as Kerrigan's spiritual energy emerged beside him, then quickly subsided.

"Father, someone just tried to spy on me!"

"Spying on you? Are you okay, Kerrigan?"

"Don't worry about me. The other party can't do anything to me with their power. And I found them by following their psychic power. I also think I saw the target you mentioned, called Drags!"

"Really? Then do you have a way to track his location?"

"Yes, there is a little bit of my spiritual energy remaining in his body. I can command the swarm to follow this spirit and find his location!"

Gao Yi didn't expect that after Norris and others lost their target, the other party actually came to him on their own initiative.

The fleet in orbit began to move together with the Zerg, and one Banshee after another began to move towards the surface of the planet, destroying the ground's defensive firepower.

Airdrop troops are also ready to attract the attention of the troops on the planet and share the pressure on the Zerg's actions.

At this time, the PDFs stationed outside the bottom nest gate looked at the open gate in horror.

They didn't know why the gates used to isolate the threat from the bottom nest were suddenly opened.

Glades did not inform his soldiers, just when they thought they would fight to the death with the mutants that emerged.

However, they found that no one rushed out, but instead a sticky purple fungal mat was spreading outward.

"God Emperor, what is this? Is this the mutated moss from the bottom nest? Quickly report this to your superiors! Why did the gate suddenly open automatically?"
Flamethrower Team, go burn these things!"

A team of flamethrowers bravely stepped forward, but before they could burn the fungal blanket, the spikes shot by the hydralisks instantly nailed them to the ground.

"For the Queen of Blades~"

A sea of ​​countless alien insects emerged from the bottom nest.

"Enemy attack! It's an alien! Prepare to fight!"
