Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 50 Living Saint Gao Yi

But one of them had already been killed, so how could Gao Yi just watch these two huge hidden dangers run away?
If they really escape back to the lower nest, it will be very difficult to find them from there.

"Stop them! Don't let them escape!"

But when several Astartes gave up fighting and wanted to retreat, it was not easy to stop them.

But what happened next seemed to pause the entire battlefield.

The fallen Emperor's statue was soaked with the blood of the loyal and pious, and at this moment the statue actually shed tears of blood.

Gao Yi suddenly felt the gaze from the subspace... someone was staring at him!
And when the fleeing enchanted warrior passed by the holy statue, golden light instantly enveloped the statue of the God-Emperor.

The only two remaining possessed warriors were engulfed in flames under the golden light. Their flesh and sinful souls were being burned by the golden flames, and the surrounding Chaos believers were also enveloped in the flames.

As the flames appeared, the corruption of the surrounding warp was also burned away.

The less you are affected by Chaos, the less damage you will take, and at this time, the enchanted warrior is no different from a demon!
In a few moments, the two enchanted warriors were burned to ashes, and a large number of charred corpses appeared on the battlefield.

Ordinary Chaos believers were even worse off and melted in the blink of an eye.

The other Word Bearers who were away from the holy icon began to retreat when the holy light shone.

The scriptures made of human skin around their waists seemed to sense the coming terror before the holy light appeared and began to burn.

Seeing this scene, the Word Bearers burst out at the fastest speed in their lives and fled to the outside.

"The Corpse King has appeared! Retreat! This attack has failed!"

But even so, there are still some Word Bearers shrouded in the Holy Light of the God-Emperor.

When the Word Bearers withdrew from the battlefield, only two Word Bearers managed to escape.

The surviving Word Bearers cursed in their hearts as they watched their brothers being devoured.

"You still say you're not a god! I'm speaking up for my genetic father, Luo Jia!"

Seeing the powerful Word Bearers retreat first, coupled with the appearance of miracles, the morale of Chaos believers on all fronts collapsed. The light of the God-Emperor burned their souls and took away the power bestowed upon them by the evil god. They no longer had the courage to fight.

After witnessing this sudden miracle, Chaos believers began to retreat to the Lower Nest, and all the loyalists knew that they had won, the Upper Nest was saved, and the world did not fall into the hands of Chaos.

And all this was due to the miracles of the Divine Emperor and Gao Yi who stood there like a god of war.

Ian staggered out of the ruins, spitting blood. The full-strength attack of the enchanted warrior was not something that ordinary people could withstand. The inquisitor uniform on his body was already tattered. The double shield saved his life. As soon as he crawled out of the ruins, he witnessed the legendary miracle with his own eyes.

He looked at the corpse of the enchanted warrior, and Gao Yi became more and more mysterious in his eyes.

As a well-informed person who had read a lot of confidential information, he knew the outrageousness of this matter better than ordinary soldiers.

Even in more brutal battles, the God-Emperor might not appear, but a war on a planet of wandering traders has attracted the attention of the God-Emperor?
"Lord Gao Yi is a man blessed by the Divine Emperor... He is definitely a man blessed by the Divine Emperor!"

It was not known who said the first sentence, but at this moment all the loyalists regarded Gao Yi as a new living saint.

Feeling everyone's expectant gazes, Gao Yi raised the power sword in his hand.

"Chaos is vulnerable! Under the protection of the God-Emperor, we have once again defended the dignity of mankind! Glory to the Monget Dynasty!"

"Glory to the Monget Dynasty! Glory to the great Rogue Trader!"

Gao Yi did not choose to send his troops to pursue the remaining cultists.

Although they won this time, the loyalists also suffered heavy losses, reaching their physical and mental limits.

Who knows what will happen if we rashly chase them into the lower nest where the situation is unknown.

Everyone needs to rest. This group of cultists has suffered heavy losses, and it is impossible for them to recover in a short period of time.

"Gather the remains of the fallen and consolidate your position! Burn the bodies of those who betrayed us and prevent the spread of Chaos corruption!"

Gao Yi gave orders, and even these dynasty soldiers who saw Gao Yi for the first time were extremely loyal to him.

"It's over. I'm not going to be targeted by the big golden guy, am I?"

Winning this battle with the help of the Divine Emperor's miracles would be a blessing for others, but not necessarily for Gao Yi. He wasn't from this world, and the power he displayed was inexplicable. He wasn't sure what the golden giant's attitude towards him was. Furthermore, Gao Yi was heartbroken. After these Chaos followers were killed by the Divine Emperor, he didn't even get a single drop of psychic crystal!
Norris's voice also came from the communicator next to Gao Yi's ear.

"Captain! The battlefield was so chaotic, and those guys were incredibly sensitive! But I've already caught up with the fleeing Word Bearers. I request to continue tracking them and find their base in the Lower Nest!"

"Your request is granted, but please do not act rashly. We will recapture the lower nest soon. Collect as much intelligence as possible!"

"Understood, Captain!"

After disconnecting the communication, Gao Yi, surrounded by soldiers, headed towards his palace.

Rebecca was already waiting at the gate, and standing beside her were important members of the family who were still loyal to the dynasty.

"My lord, Rebecca thanks you on behalf of all the people on this planet. Without you, our lives would have ended today."

"Isn't it a Rogue Trader's duty to protect my own dynasty? At least you saved Upper Nest while I was away, giving me a chance to provide support."

"Similarly, this is also our responsibility. There is one more thing...we all want to ask you!"

"You say it."

"Have you truly received the Divine Emperor's blessing? The scene of you slaying those demons just now was truly incredible..."

"Perhaps? At least my faith in the God-Emperor gives me the courage to fight them!"

But Gao Yi said in his heart, I do believe, but what I believe in is not the God-Emperor, but the Emperor's imperial truth.

"I understand. You must be tired. Let me take you to your palace to rest. It's time for it to welcome its new owner."

"Lead the way!"

Following Rebecca Gao Yi, they entered the Dynasty Palace, which was located at the highest and most central point of the Royal Court.

This place, at the highest point of the hive city, did not suffer much damage, but many rooms and corridors of the palace were used to accommodate the wounded.

The large number of wounded soldiers made it impossible for the medical staff to provide timely treatment.

They still had expressions of having survived a disaster on their faces, and looked at Gao Yi with reverence. They also knew that it was the return of the Rogue Trader that saved them from death or becoming sacrifices to the cultists.

"My Lord, please forgive me for using your palace to house these wounded."

"It's okay. They are all loyal warriors of the dynasty. Rebecca, do you know where the dynasty's treasure house is?"

"Of course, you want to go now?"

"Yes! Take me there now!"

Gao Yi was very curious about what both the Word Bearers and the Dark Mechanicus wanted to obtain.

"I'll take you there right away!"

The dynasty's treasure house is in this palace.

We arrived at the depths of the palace, in front of a gate that was tightly protected by various defensive facilities.

"Lord, the treasury can be opened through the Thinker nearby, but first you need to transmit the information that you inherited the Rogue Trader title through the Thinker on the flagship, and then pass the Thinker's authentication.

The dynasty has a rule that only current Rogue Traders can enter. I'll be waiting for you outside!"

Rebecca consciously retreated outside.

Gao Yi also followed Rebecca's instructions.

When the thinker completed the authentication and collected Gao Yi's biological sample, a door made of an alloy mixed with refined gold opened in the room.

Gao Yi walked into the treasure house, where various alien creations from different civilizations were displayed.

These are all precious spoils of the wandering merchants of past generations. They may not be expensive, but they symbolize the glory of the dynasty. In the center, there is only one item wrapped in a small static stand.

Gao Yi knew without a doubt that this was probably what the Chaos Traitors wanted to obtain.
