Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 64 Widow Mine and Siege Tank
"God Emperor, please don't kill me! Let us go!"

A mother held her child tightly behind her as the dilapidated door of her home was smashed open.

His husband had already fallen by the door, his body sliced ​​open by the chainsaw sword.

Several Chaos followers whose bodies had begun to mutate broke into her home.

Looking at the mother and daughter in front of them, these Chaos believers swallowed longingly.

But no matter how much she begged for mercy, she could not change her fate. Her resistance was like an appetizer to these Chaos believers, and it even made them more excited.

In the eyes of these traitors, there is no distinction between men and women, old and young. Their desperate situation makes them even more crazy.

Soon, several more bodies appeared in the room.

"Take all the corpses with you and use them as food!" ordered a leading traitor.

The upper nest is short of food, and the lower nest is also short of food.

When the cultists occupied a large number of industrial facilities, they had a lot of starch blocks to eat. However, as time went on, their living space was constantly compressed, and they lost their processing equipment, which means they lost their production capacity. Now they can't even eat starch blocks. However, this is not a particularly big problem for this group of lunatics.

The deepening corruption of Chaos, coupled with hunger, caused them to completely abandon their remaining humanity and turn their sights on their own kind.

Since it cannot be processed into starch blocks, just eat it directly.

The massacre is taking place in the residential area of ​​the lower nest workers.

The workers' resistance was completely futile.

Corpses were dragged out of the house one after another, but just as the Chaos Cultists were about to leave with their spoils, the sound of a rail rifle rang out, and a spike bullet blew up the head of a Chaos Cultist like smashing a watermelon.

At the same time, the sound of the Banshee's engine could be heard overhead.

"God Emperor! Enemies spotted! These guys have killed everyone in this residential area, not even sparing the children! Banshee 7 is requesting an attack!"

"Attack request approved! Purify all of these guys! Provide artillery coordinates for the siege tanks!"

Upon receiving the order, the Banshee pilot fired ammunition at all the traitors in sight.

The plastic-steel missile instantly exploded in the area where the Chaos believers were most concentrated, and then immediately moved away from the battlefield in a stealth state. The lower nest was different from the outside, and the height and space here were limited.

The Banshee's mission is reconnaissance, and if it is targeted by concentrated fire, it is also at risk of being shot down.

The traitors fired frantically at the empty sky, trying to shoot down the enemy they could not see, but the Banshee had already left.

"It's that invisible aircraft. The false emperor's soldiers are coming to kill us!"

The sounds of rail rifle fire and Banshee engines have been like nightmares in the ears of these traitors for the past few days.

They were chased all the way here.

The inferior weapons in their hands couldn't even penetrate the combat uniforms. Even if they temporarily shot through one person's combat uniform, these guys would rejoin the battle intact soon after.

A 20-man machine gunner team advanced towards the residential area under the cover of a siege tank.

They calmly killed the enemies in front of them without even looking for cover. The heavy and huge explosion-proof shields in their hands were enough to block most of the shooting for them. The medics in the team kept an eye on the condition of their comrades.

The siege tank began to switch to siege mode, with hydraulic supports extending from under the tracks and securing the tank.

The muzzle began to rise, and the powerful impact cannon began to roar through the coordinates provided by the Banshee.

The surviving rebels began to hide in the house and fight back.

But the next second, the house and the traitors inside were blown to pieces, and the shock wave was even enough to shatter the traitors' internal organs.

The traitors who rushed out of the house to attack were torn to pieces by shells falling from the sky the moment they entered the range of the siege tanks!

"How many of them are there!"

"They only have about 20 people and a tank!" "That's not a Leman Russ tank, I've never seen anything like it!"

The traitor couldn't understand why he had lived in Agathos for so many years, but the wandering trader came back with so many things he had never seen before.

The traitor stuck his head out and looked outside.

"20 people?! Damn it, only 20 people?! Kill them! Go around from the side! We still have 20 or people. Can't we take down people and a broken tank?!"

The leading traitor was blinded by anger.

He commanded his remaining men to begin to detour to the side of the Rangers. The complex residential area provided temporary cover for this group of traitors.

Some of the traitors even had a lot of explosives tied around their waists. Since guns can't deal with you, I will die with you. The traitors don't believe they can withstand the shrapnel of the bomb, the high temperature of the hot melt and the impact of the explosion!
The traitors who had successfully reached the flank rushed out of the house howling. There were only 20 people on the other side. As long as one of them reached the vicinity of this team of pseudo-emperor soldiers, they would be finished!
But as soon as they rushed over, they realized something was wrong.

Even if the enemy was arrogant, they wouldn't fail to suppress the fire, right? Seeing a group of lunatics rushing towards them, even if they relied on instinct, they would definitely shoot at them twice, right?
However, these traitors saw that the soldiers on the flank just turned their heads to look at them and then stopped paying attention to them, but continued to focus on the battle in front of them.

It's unreasonable. This is totally unreasonable.

They were getting closer and closer. Just when they thought they were about to succeed, a slight beeping sound came from in front of them. Then, a small missile was shot out of thin air from the flank of this team of dynasty soldiers, and it flew towards them as if it was automatically tracking. At the location where the missile appeared, a mechanical creation buried deep underground also revealed its appearance.

It's Widow Thunder!

The cultists who were sprinting at full speed had no time to dodge.

The Sentinel missiles exploded, and the explosives they carried only hastened their deaths.

The explosion of the sentinels and the detonation of the explosives on their bodies destroyed everything around them. Their bodies were directly vaporized under this power and not even fragments could be found.

The crisis on the flank was resolved, and nearly a hundred traitors died under the attack of Widow Thunder.

"This thing called the Widow Mine is really useful. Now I don't have to worry about my flank being attacked."

"Don't be distracted, the battle isn't over yet!"

The squad's officer reminded everyone.

Before the battle even started, Widowmaker had already embedded herself on the team's flank.

Their four metal claws can break through even the metal ground.

The huge flames from the explosion also stunned the leader of this group of traitors.

Where does this heavy firepower come from? !
After resolving the trouble on the flank, the team's attack speed began to increase.

When it comes to close combat, the combat suit still has a crushing advantage. Even if the opponent is affected by the subspace and mutated, the increase in physical strength is far less than the bonus given by the combat suit.

When the last cultist was killed, the recovery of the area was completed.

"God Emperor, they must have suffered a lot before they died."

Looking at the bodies of the brutally murdered lower nest workers, a machine gunner said with pity.

"Hurry up and search for survivors. Medics, see if there's anyone we can save! Work in pairs, and don't miss a single house. Who knows if these traitors are hiding in that house?"

20 people eliminated a remaining force of more than 500 Chaos believers without any casualties.

A large number of such teams are currently operating in the lower nest.

The widow mine makes up for the problem of insufficient manpower. Most squads do not have siege tanks as standard, but they will be assigned a widow mine.

In addition to these widow mines that accompany the team, one is also buried in the main roads connecting the various areas of the nest, as well as a large number of unguarded secret passages. The friend-or-foe identification system of the widow mine will not attack passing friendly forces, but if there are any unlucky people who want to sneak through or launch a surprise attack when there are no soldiers guarding.

They will be immediately hit by a sentry missile, and the explosion will also alert nearby soldiers.
