Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 189 Black Hole Weapons
After transporting the soldiers, Blood Raven's warships also began to move away from the Ark.

The Ark's firepower at 1000km was simply too overwhelming. Blood Raven's six warships had already suffered varying degrees of severe damage, and the overloaded Void Shields were no longer able to protect the warships.

The Imperial Navy once attacked an Ark, but the Imperial Navy was completely annihilated while the Ark suffered little damage, demonstrating how dominant the Ark was on the battlefield.

To the Blood Ravens who landed, the seemingly innocent Eldar children and the elderly were no different from the other Eldar warriors.

Fearless strode forward with heavy steps, his right hand wielding the Storm Bolt Spear, relentlessly slaying every Eldar within sight.

"I am the light of humanity, I am the angel of the emperor, I will burn your world to ashes!"

The fearless, deep voice inspired the other blood crows.

Meanwhile, the Blood Raven Squad fought alongside the sacred and fearless.

Meanwhile, Gabriel's Terminator squad destroyed those troublesome targets.

Wielding his giant hammer, Gabriel tore apart any enemy who dared to fight him in close combat. He was one of the best in Astartes, capable of fighting even a great demon, not to mention his luxurious equipment, each piece of which was a holy relic, not just a decoration.

Meanwhile, the Blood Ravens clad in Terminator armor served as the vanguard, eliminating key targets.

Even when faced with attacks from Eldar vehicles, the well-coordinated Blood Ravens used their weapons to destroy the enemy.

As the number of Astartes increased, their dominance on these local battlefields became terrifyingly high, especially with the assistance of numerous think tanks, allowing Blood Raven to continuously expand their gains.

And as he looked at the Protoss immortals on the battlefield, Blood Raven's genes stirred again!
Gabriel set his sights on an Immortal crippled by concentrated fire and immediately dispatched soldiers to secretly collect this technology from the Protoss.

"Awaken the dead! Krol needs them now!"

With the consensus reached by the Council of Prophets, and with the help of the Soul Guides, the souls that had been sleeping in the Infinite Circuit were awakened.

The souls of the deceased are infused into various underworld structures that can contain them.

Inside the Hall of the Underworld.

The Netherworld Guardians are like soldiers who have souls but whose bodies are made of pure spiritual bones.

He possesses a sturdy body and an immortal soul; his only shortcoming is that these dead soldiers lack perception of the world, and without the guidance and leadership of a soul guide...

Their souls were like floating in a liquid of endless darkness and emptiness, a terrifying and torturous experience for the souls that were extracted.

With the addition of these Netherworld Guardians, the shortage of soldiers on the Koror Ark began to be effectively addressed.

Not only the Netherworld Guardians, but also the Netherworld Lords, who are only used as a last resort, and the Netherworld Knights were awakened.

The former is two to three times the height of the Eldar and is powered by the soul stones of the most elite Eldar who died, while the latter possesses the dominance of a Titan over the ground battlefield.

The latter requires not only the souls of the Eldar but also a pair of twin pilots.

They possess a unique telepathic connection, jointly controlling the Ghost Knight. The Knight's unique spiritual bone structure grants him unparalleled agility and mobility.

Although the Eldar possessed the technology to manufacture such constructs, they were unable to mass-produce them.

It's not because of a lack of technology, but because the Ark Eldar's pitiful population is making twins increasingly rare.

There were simply no suitable pilots available. Compared to the Titans and Knights of the Empire, these Ark Eldar were truly a case of "every one killed is one less to be found."

Faced with the massive fleet in the void, Ayra also began to lift the forbidden agreements within the Ark.

Although the Ark inherited a portion of the Fallen Empire's legacy and technology.

However, it is always people who carry knowledge, and the Ark itself is just a trading fleet, without sufficient production facilities.

As the quantity of knowledge carriers declines sharply, the knowledge and technology that once existed are also constantly disappearing.

When Koror first became part of the Ark world, it may have possessed a lot of advanced technology, but time has destroyed all of that.

Natural damage, human consumption, and the things that once could change the course of the war are becoming fewer and fewer.

Now, Ayla is also preparing to use one of the few weapons in the Ark that were inherited from the Eldar after their great fall.

At this time, the Ark's armory still contained three black hole bombs.

Once the Koror Ark runs out of these weapons, it will be completely lost, but now is clearly not the time to conserve them.

Gao Yi observed the battlefield situation from the bridge. The approaching fleet of the Dynasty did not attempt to destroy the Ark, but instead concentrated its firepower on destroying the Ark's propulsion system.

It wasn't that Gao Yi didn't want to; it was only when he actually saw the Ark that he realized just how powerful it was. Destroying such a massive object was far from simple.

The dynasty and the alliance deployed nearly a hundred warships this time, but under the Ark's massive firepower and the enemy's well-equipped fleet, they have already suffered considerable losses.

Large amounts of wreckage from both sides' warships floated in the void.

Gao Yi's purpose in this trip, besides eliminating the threat of Koror wandering in the expansion area, was to seize the Ark and transform it into the Spear of Adun. He did not need to destroy the Ark.

If he were to destroy the Koror Ark outright, he really wouldn't know where to find another Ark world.

At this moment, the 1000km-long Ark world is like a ferocious beast being hunted by jackals, being slowly devoured.

With their tactical warp abilities, the Gorgons bypassed the enemy lines and airdropped organized Rangers at various locations on the Ark.

To seize the fixed firepower on the Ark and destroy the turrets.

The hospital ship also began deploying Thor and heavy vehicles into the battlefield.

Once the Spear of Adun is successfully converted, not only will the existing Protoss population undergo a qualitative change, but it will also save Gao Yi a huge amount of psionic crystals, as the production facilities built into the Spear of Adun will be sufficient to meet the needs of the existing Protoss.

Just as Gao Yi was watching the tense battle and waiting for Artanis's news.

The servo systems on the Star Pioneer began to sound deadly alarms.

"Energy reaction of Eldar black hole weapon detected in database. Please begin evasion immediately! Please begin evasion immediately!"

"Black hole weapons?! What's going on with these priests?!"

"Reporting to the lord, we are also unsure. We suspect that the aliens' actions have autonomously activated the warship's early warning system! However, the oracle has not detected anything unusual!"

Gao Yi also observed the bird divination instrument's detection of the ark, and it was indeed as the priest had said.

In the end, Gao Yi chose to believe the warning from the Star Pioneer. Humanity had clashed with these former galactic overlords before.

There was no reason for a server system from the Golden Age to give such a prompt so casually. Gao Yi also knew that the Ark really had such a weapon, but he didn't have much of a concept of it.

"How's the warp drive repair going?"

"The Holy Machine has been repaired to 75%."

"Perform a short-range jump immediately!"

"But my lord, the Star Pioneer has never been built on a scale like this before!"

"Obey my command and teleport immediately!"

Under Gao Yi's command, the still not fully repaired jump started operating again.

Inside the Ark, a massive main cannon is continuously charging, loading a black hole bomb, and activating the bomb with energy from the infinite circuit.

Even the prophets of Corrol could not contain their emotions; these monkeys' fleet would ultimately be utterly destroyed because of their arrogance.

But the prophets suddenly discovered that the human flagship had vanished from its original location.

"What happened! Where is that monkey's warship?!"

At this point, the black hole bomb had reached its critical point and was ready to be launched.

When the black hole bomb was activated, the original space of the Star Pioneer began to collapse without warning, and a black hole appeared directly in the void.

As the black hole appeared, the surrounding void seemed to dim.

At this moment, the integrity of the Star Pioneer warship, which had completed the warp jump, rapidly declined, and even the main body of the warship suffered severe damage and breakage.

The interior of the warship was in complete disarray, but Gao Yi had no time to care about that.

Gao Yi stared in astonishment at the black hole before him, which was expanding rapidly and swallowing everything around it. Whether it was the Empire's warships or the Eldar's own warships, everything within its range was instantly devoured.

The sudden appearance of the black hole seemed to put the world on pause, and the dynasty's warships all tried to get away from it at full speed.

Meanwhile, the Koror Ark used the endless energy in the infinite circuit to quickly escape the wolf-like human warships.

To prevent more human infantry from being sent into the ark.

As long as they can maintain distance, these human fleets are no match for the Eldar!
