Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 81 Night Guard
After witnessing the power of the divine machine, Gao Yi looked at his remaining 38 psychic crystals. If based on this standard, 5 per person, Gao Yi felt that he could get a few more "DOOM Guys".

He no longer lacks conventional ground combat power, but what he lacks are soldiers who can carry out high-intensity special operations.

Since Gao Yi is unable to handle the transformation of Space Marines and their gene seeds now, he can use the divine machinery to transform the bodies of his own warriors.

The Archon Armor provides continuous strengthening and recovery, and can even restore ammunition like using a chainsaw in the game. It is simply tailor-made for fighting behind enemy lines away from the main force.

After Gao Yi tested Damon wearing the Archon, he discovered another outrageous use.

At this time, Damon was holding a grenade launcher and a C-14 in his hands. When he put the C-14 behind his back, this large firearm was actually directly integrated into the Archon Armor.

And when the grenade launcher was put behind his back, it also disappeared.

And when Damon wants to take out one of the guns, he only needs to think about the gun and he can quickly take it out from the armor.

It's almost the same as in the game. It seems like I don't have any weapons, but I have all the weapons.

You thought I only had a laser rifle, but I can actually give you an anti-tank gun.

When this heavy weapon, which is difficult to carry spare ammunition, runs out of ammunition, the chainsaw can be used to replenish direct ammunition.

I can’t imagine what kind of psychological trauma such a special operations team will bring to the enemy.

At this time, it was inside the residence of the dynasty's imperial guards.

At that time, the loyal servants of the dynasty who were protecting Gao Yi and wearing fine gold combat uniforms were undergoing training.

Wearing combat uniforms, they engaged in precise shooting and almost brutal close combat with each other.

Two medics were on standby. With these quick medical personnel, the soldiers could train more unscrupulously.

It doesn't matter if you get injured, as long as you don't die immediately, you can be rescued.

Weier brought Gao Yi into the training ground.

Seeing the traveling merchant coming in person, everyone stopped what they were doing and lined up in front of Gao Yi.

Looking at Gao Yi, everyone's eyes revealed admiration, which was an emotion that even wandering merchants could never experience.

He is loyal and respectful to other Rogue Traders.

Previously, they fulfilled their duties out of loyalty to the dynasty.

However, Gao Yi, the traveling merchant, truly convinced them.

Not only did he equip them with unheard-of fine gold equipment, he also saved the entire dynasty, and his personal strength was unprecedented.

They stayed by Gao Yi's side, saying that they were protecting Gao Yi, but it was not certain who was protecting whom.

The extremely powerful and cunning chief was easily killed by their traveling merchants.

"Everyone listen, Lord Gao Yi has something important to announce!"

When they heard what Will said, everyone pricked up their ears.

Standing in front of this group of guards, Gao Yi also felt something different from them.

Although he was not as completely converted to faith as the priests in Pavian.

But it is true that this group of guards loyal to the dynasty are undergoing a subtle change in their admiration for him.

“The dynasty will conduct further screening to form a special force.

Your loyalty has been tested, so only the strongest are qualified to join this force.

However, there are only five spots now, and these five spots will be chosen from among you!"

Hearing Gao Yi's words, everyone's emotions were already excited. No one who had made it this far wanted to continue climbing. Only those who pursued greater power had the faith to support them to this point.

"My Lord! How can I become one of those five people?"

"Of course, that's through combat! I don't need a one-on-one fight. After you take off your combat uniforms, the last five of you standing will have the qualification!

And one more thing: you are not allowed to kill your opponents! Your death is a loss to the dynasty!"

Hearing this, all the guards began to take off their combat uniforms.

These compatriots who fought together have once again become competitors, and their eyes are full of fighting spirit.

A chaotic and unexpected battle began in the training ground.

Everyone here has been enhanced, so their battles are particularly brutal.

The medics watched everyone intently, fearing that they might accidentally kill their comrades.

One after another, people were knocked down and disqualified.

And Gao Yi was also observing everyone.

"Will, what are the names of those two people?"

Gao Yi pointed at two soldiers working together to fight the enemy in the training ground and said.

Gao Yi did not prohibit cooperation.

"Abraham and Abram, they also have the blood of the Monget family. They are a pair of brothers. They seem to have some kind of telepathy between them, which can be considered a kind of benign mutation. They are also very famous in the dynasty."

Gao Yi pointed at another person.

"His name is Ryan. He's the captain of this Royal Guard. He's terrifying. When he was seven years old, he killed a gang leader in the Lower Nest. He later joined the PDF and rose through the ranks thanks to his military achievements. He's also the only non-noble member of the Royal Guard!"

Everyone tried their best, and when there were only five people left on the field, the medics immediately came in and started first aid, and no one died.

However, serious fractures, injuries and ruptured internal organs are common.

If it were someone who hadn't been reformed, he would have died long ago.

The remaining five people were not much better off. They were panting, covered in wounds, and looking at Gao Yi with passionate eyes.

"You did a great job. Congratulations on successfully joining the Night Guard!"

The Night Sentinels are the beings in DOOM who once fought alongside DOOM and destroyed Hell. Gao Yi directly plagiarized the name of this group of warriors.

They also once used the auran energy derived from their souls to strengthen themselves, but later gave up.

After receiving treatment from the medical soldiers, the remaining five guards also began to undergo transformation with the divine machinery.

To be honest, they thought it would be another painful transformation. After all, conventional genetic enhancement and transformation operations require the enhanced person to endure unspeakable pain.

Those who are not strong-willed and cannot hold on may die directly on the operating table.

But within the divine machine, there was only the purest strengthening, no pain at all, and even a bit of comfort...

After the psychic crystal transformed into the purest power and injected into their bodies, five powerful warriors who seemed to have been reborn appeared in front of Gao Yi.

After a preliminary inspection of their strength and various states, they were further strengthened, having already been strengthened.

Gao Yi has not encountered any loyalist Space Marines yet, but Gao Yi feels that their physical fitness is almost the same.

After exchanging a piece of Archon Armor for each of them, Gao Yi had no doubt that they could grow into beings more powerful than the Astartes.

This Night Guard will also be responsible for protecting Gao Yi and completing tactical goals that others cannot accomplish when necessary.
