Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 44: The Final Dawn
People often think that the Chaos Gods deceive people into corruption through illusions and deceptions.

Chaos's best way of bewitching people is to recognize your achievements, admire your strength, and help you fulfill the dreams you have always wanted to accomplish.

In this process, he unknowingly became a complete believer of chaos.

The dark gods took advantage of Valentine's desire.

As a blood relative of the Mungert family, he lost the competition with Ludwig.

He always believed that Ludwig had used conspiracy and trickery to seize the position that originally belonged to him, and that Ludwig continued to persecute his family even after he became a Rogue Trader.

Their family was driven out of the position of planetary governor and handed over to an alien race, and they even continued to take back the rights that originally belonged to their family.

Let him manage the chaotic lower nest.

As time went on, his resentment grew, and he believed that the dynasty was completely corrupt.

And his gradually corrupted soul also attracted the attention of beings in the subspace.

The unknown being has always recognized his achievements and abilities, and constantly told him that everything in the world will end, and the same will be true for his dynasty.

And when all things come to an end, a new dynasty and order will be rebuilt on the ruins and corpses of the original, and as long as he is willing to throw himself into chaos, he will have the power to accomplish all of this.

Valentine agreed, and from then on he was no longer Valentine Mungat, but the leader of the Church of the Last Dawn of Agathos.

Using his power, he continued to develop believers and used the power bestowed by the dark gods to corrupt his own people. When Ludwig was lost in the warp and lost contact, he knew that his chance had come.

The original plan was to slowly expand his church and use the power of the Dark Gods to corrupt key figures in the dynasty.

But no one expected that the dynasty's flagship could still come out of the warp, and even replaced it with a new wandering merchant. He knew that he could not wait any longer, and then launched an armed coup. However, the hateful Rebecca had been on guard against him for a long time, which made it difficult to capture the upper nest!
Not only that, there have been reports of various attacks within the area he occupied.

The fighting power of that battle sisterhood was ridiculously strong. His followers and the soldiers who originally belonged to the family were no match for them.

Their belief in the false emperor is too firm!

Their faith grants them resistance to corruption, while exceptional combat skills are the blade bestowed upon them by the God-Emperor.

They roam the Underhives of the Hive City, even gathering together those Underhive civilians who remain loyal to the Empire and do not want to become monsters.

They are like torches in the darkness, letting people know that the God-Emperor is still by their side.

They kept attacking his material warehouses and supply lines. Valentine knew that the target of these nuns was him!

In addition to this group of nuns, there are two forces he could not imagine that are hindering him.

One of them is a church called the Cult of Death, which is constantly assassinating his officers and important members of the church. Even the illegal psychics he secretly raises cannot escape their assassination.

Valentine had always known about the existence of this death-worshipping cult. Some even said that they had appeared when the dynasty had just colonized this planet. However, they had only been active in the lower nest or even the bottom nest in the past. He had never taken this small church seriously, but he did not expect that it would cause him so much trouble now.

The Death Cult madly worships the God-Emperor, even more crazy and extreme than those members of the state religion. They believe that blood and sacrifice are the foundation of human survival, and it is the great sacrifice of the God-Emperor that allows mankind to survive. The God-Emperor, sitting on the Golden Throne between life and death, is the embodiment of death.

To these beings, every death, every wound, every mouthful of blood is an act of worship to the Immortal Emperor of Mankind. They are obsessed with killing anyone who disrespects the Emperor and are the most feared beings in the Lower Nest.

The lives of these heretics and enemies of humanity are the best sacrifice to the God-Emperor.

Their superb swordsmanship and assassination skills allow them to continuously reap the lives of their enemies. Fortunately, there are not many members of the Death Worship Cult, and not everyone can accept such extreme doctrines.

Although Valentine was unable to wipe out these Death Cultists, they were also unable to damage their roots.

What gave Valentine the most headache was the bottom nest.
He originally thought that as long as they made some promises, the thugs in the bottom nest would be willing to work for him. He didn't believe that anyone would be willing to live in that dark bottom nest.

There is deadly radiation and wastewater there, and even a bite of normal food is a luxury.

He could accept those mutants, as they were the most suitable source of Chaos believers. However, he hadn't expected that this group of Underhive scum would actually cling to the Underhive and not let him in, not only rejecting his call but also attacking his soldiers and believers.

They will even take the initiative to help the Undernesters who are unwilling to join Chaos!
They regard the bottom nest as their own territory and even have a tendency to break out.

Not to mention that the combat effectiveness of this group of mutants is much stronger than imagined, and their strong fighting will is frightening.

The soldiers reported that they were also chanting the name of the God-Emperor. When did the mutants in the Bottom Nest become so devoted to the God-Emperor?
Although the situation seemed to be going in his favor, only Valentine himself knew that he could not wait any longer. The longer he waited, the more obvious the disadvantage would be.

He planned to perform an unparalleled sacrifice tomorrow and summon the true "Dawn" to this world, who would help him break through the seemingly indestructible defenses of the Upper Nest.

After leaving the foundry, Valentine came to the sacrifice site under the protection of the guards.

At a glance, there are hundreds of cages holding countless civilians and workers from the Lower Nest.

There were adults, old people, and many young children, all of whom were ruthlessly imprisoned in these iron cages like livestock.

No matter whether they begged for mercy or cursed, no one paid any attention to them.

Looking at the scene around them, no matter how stupid they were, they knew their impending fate.

"Master, all 99999 people are here!"

"Very good, how did the ritual go?"

"95 percent! I'll definitely be able to complete all the preparations before tomorrow!"

"Boost!"

"Yes, Sect Master!"

They refuse to embrace the arrival of the final dawn, so they will become the nourishment for the arrival of the dawn.

Illegal psychics were drawing blasphemous magic circles one after another on the walls of the sacrificial hall with blood.

These magic arrays will become a bridge of communication between the real universe and the subspace.

The lives and souls of these people become the key to open the door.

The time one day later coincided with the time Gao Yi was preparing to take action.

The day passed quickly.

The fleet that set out again has once again approached the planetary orbit of Agathos.

Gao Yi said as he looked at Harlan and others who were wearing RS fusion suits.

"The pressurization device and oxygen chamber inside the fighter can allow you to travel in orbit for a short period of time, but it is only for a very short time.

The battleship will travel to orbit and withstand the enemy's first wave of fire to send you into the planet's orbit.

The locations of important ground defense facilities have been sent to the Banshee's tactical equipment.

Your mission is not to destroy them completely! But to paralyze them and make them lose their launch capability! Buy time for the fleet's airborne mission! "

"I understand Captain!"

"May the Emperor bless you!"

After Harlan saluted Gao Yi with the Sky Eagle Salute, he got into the cockpit of the Banshee.
