Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 31 Tyrant

Gao Yi, in a good mood, returned to the bridge again.

Inquisitor Ian walked towards him.

"I heard that a psyker has awakened on your warship? Perhaps... I can help him? I also awakened suddenly, and I understand the possible dangers."

"What a pity, Judge Ian! I've already had him thrown out. I can't have such a hidden danger on my warship!"

"You could have helped him."

"Since when did the Inquisitor become sympathetic to illegal psykers?"

"Through rigorous training and guidance, they can also become servants of the God-Emperor. I am an example!"

"It's too late to say anything. Perhaps I'll come find you next time! Inquisitor Ian, focus on the present. We'll be arriving in Omilon soon. The macro cannons and light spears don't have eyes."

As the distance to Omiron gets closer.

Gao Yi's three warships also slowed down.

At this time, they knew nothing about Omilon's situation, and they didn't even know the opponent's strength, but what was certain was that the opponent could not have suffered no losses after destroying the planetary defense fleet, and given the size of the opponent's dynasty, it was impossible for them to have too many warships.

"Try to get the Astropath to contact Omiron 2!"

The Astropathic Choir began to chant, and the Astropathic Master used his psychic power to try to communicate with the Astropaths on Omilon, but all attempts were in vain. If the Astropaths on Omilon were still alive, there would be no way they would not have responded.

"Captain! Omiron didn't respond!"

"keep going!"

Gao Yi just stared at the divination instrument in front of him, and soon a reaction appeared on the instrument.

The identification code displayed turned out to be a ship belonging to the Monget Dynasty.

When we approached these ships, we found a large number of warship fragments floating in the void, and even many crew members' bodies floating in the void.

"This is the transport ship we were carrying our food supplies to! They were ambushed! The fragments of these transport ships were gathered together, and they were sunk by concentrated fire before they could escape!"

"Another traitor?"

"I don't know. Maybe they found other ways to know the transportation route and time! After all, this is not confidential information."

"Continue scanning with the auspicious instrument!"

And as the battleship moves forward.

Several red marks appeared on the divination instrument.

"Captain! Hostile signals detected. One Gothic-class cruiser and four Indomitable-class frigates! They outnumber our warships by two!"

The priest in charge of the auspicious ceremony shouted anxiously.

"Captain! It's the Tyrant, the flagship of the Suarez dynasty! If the flagship is on that Cantor, it must be on that ship too!

This Tyrant is a Gothic-class cruiser, given to them by the star lord who awarded them the charter! This warship has been armored, and its deck is thicker than that of a normal warship. If we engage in a head-on battle, we will have little chance of winning.

Will also recognized the battleship.

The Tyrant's battleships exceed the conventional Gothic-class battleships in both length and volume.

Normal traveling merchants do not seek direct combat, and warships are also strengthened in terms of maneuverability. However, the Tyrant in front of him is really like his name, and he does not follow the ordinary path.

As Gao Yi discovered the enemy's warships, the enemy also discovered Gao Yi's warship formation.

The five warships docked in the planet's orbit immediately started their conventional engines and rushed towards Gao Yi.

Although the other side could not be seen within the naked eye's sight, the light spears and macro cannons on both sides' warships had already been aimed at each other.

"Have Damon lead the Rangers and Marines into the assault boats, and have Pavian send all SCVs to the battleship's important decks, including the engine deck, gun deck, and shield deck, to ensure that all vital parts are not completely paralyzed."

"Do you want to board them?" "We are outnumbered and undermanned, so a conventional battleship battle would be too much of a disadvantage! Our combat uniforms are our advantage, as is the speed of our ships. It would be best to board them directly, destroy the interior of their ships, or even capture their bridges! I don't want my newly repaired ships to become tattered again, or even be sunk.

Sound the alarm, everyone prepare for battle! Distribute those plastic steel combat uniforms used for trade! Pavian, bring up my and Will's combat uniforms!

As the shrill alarm was sounded, all the crew members were taken back to their posts, the armory was opened, and weapons were distributed to the crew members.

Eight of the 10 Ranger companies will conduct the subsequent jump to the border, while the remaining two companies will remain in the Golden Horn to conduct the counter-jump to the border.

Following the Rangers were 2000 Navy troops who jumped to the border.

These Marine assault pods would conduct the first assault, drawing fire for the Ranger assault pods.

It's cruel, but necessary.

The power of an individual is too small in front of the weapons on the battleship. Even if you are a Primarch, you will be killed by a luminous spear or macro cannon with your physical body.

Gao Yi could only let these ordinary navy officers sacrifice themselves to ensure that more rangers could enter the enemy's warships.

“Norris, are you there?”

"I'm Captain!"

"Follow Damon aboard the ship. Your mission is to find the enemy's bridge and destroy their command center!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Confessors prayed for the soldiers, while priests held incense burners and blessed each cannon shot. Only the joy of the machine spirit could make these huge cannons operate smoothly.

There are two Mars MK-6 macro cannons on each side of the Golden Ram battleship.

These weapons that fire huge physical shells are the most powerful weapons for destroying the void shields of enemy warships.

The huge cannon shells were stuffed into the barrel with the help of manpower and mechanical devices, waiting for the order to be given.

The Mezoa-type light spears on the ridge and bow of the ship have also been fully charged.

"200000 km from enemy ship, void shield begins charging, power adjusted to maximum!"

"150000 km from the enemy ship. Close the assault boat's hatch! May the Emperor bless you!"

"Sword Rain, Pioneer, delay the enemy frigate as much as possible!"

As they got closer, the Sound Array Master also received a communication request.

"Captain! The Tyrant is sending a communication request. Do you want to connect?"

"Get in!"

The holographic image in front of Gao Yi also lit up.

"Hahaha, Ludwig, you're not dead? No, who are you? Where is Ludwig?"

"Ludwig died in battle! I am the current Rogue Trader Gao Yi Mungert! You are Cantor, right? You actually attacked my planet openly! You will pay the price for this!"

When he saw Gao Yi's youthful appearance, Cantor did not hide his contempt.

"It's a pity that Ludwig didn't die in my hands... Current Rogue Trader, how ridiculous! Just relying on these three lousy ships of yours?
Moreover, your capital world is almost lost. By then, you may be a wandering merchant who doesn’t even have a planet in this expansion area!

Your ships and your planets will be mine!"

"What happened to my capital world?"

"The dead don't need to know! Full speed ahead!"

The Tyrant on the opposite side did not change its course and rushed straight forward without making any maneuvers.

Perhaps in their minds this is a battle without suspense.
