Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 193 The Ability to Open the Net Path

After two full days of searching and clearing, the Eldar were finally no longer visible inside the Ark.

Most of the buildings inside the ark were reduced to rubble.

At least 30% of the Eldar inside the Ark escaped into the Webpath and left the Koror Ark.

After leaving, these fleeing Eldar used runes to completely seal off the network, preventing humans from having any chance to pursue them.

However, the dynasty fleet also suffered considerable losses. Even in ground combat, some of the Eldar's weapons were sufficient to destroy combat suits and kill the soldiers inside.

The ruins also contain the bodies of a Nether Knight and a Nether Lord.

These two Netherworld constructs were destroyed only after the Eldar army was completely routed following the control of the Infinite Circuit.

They fought to the very last moment.

They inflicted exceptionally heavy casualties on the landing forces; Gao Yi had already seen nearly twenty destroyed Thor armored vehicles.

Some were hit directly in the cockpit by the Netherworld Cannon, while others were cut in half by the Netherworld Giant Sword.

The mobility of these constructs allows them to approach Thor before they can withstand sufficient firepower.

The SCV is performing emergency repairs on them, but unfortunately, all the pilots have been killed.

The losses to the ground forces were also greater than expected; the attacks from the large number of Nether Guardians and the fixed turrets inside the Ark were beyond what the combat suits could withstand.

However, all of these efforts were worthwhile.

The Ark of Kolor was still occupied.

Gao Yi did not immediately transform the Ark into the Spear of Adun.

Instead, they headed towards the hall where the infinite loop was located.

The battle inside the hall was exceptionally fierce, with the corpses of Netherworld Guardians and Spirit Race members piled up on the ground, making it impossible to step on them.

The Eldar here did not flee even at the very last moment; they fought to the very end.

The Blood Raven's apothecaries are collecting the genetic seeds of the fallen.

However, not many people died in battle; as long as they had a breath left, the nano-healing gun could bring them back to life.

Gabriel was covered in blood. The fact that the chapter had won this battle against the Arkworld at such a low cost was beyond his expectations.

They once again upheld the Emperor's honor, and such a great victory is worthy of being recorded in the annals of the warband, and even deserves to be passed down throughout the entire empire. The name of the Blood Raven will be known to more people.

"Grand Master Gabriel, the Dynasty will remember your contributions, and I believe we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future."

They witnessed the strength of the dynasty's regular army on the front lines, as well as the special abilities possessed by the Protoss.

Gabriel's attitude towards Gao Yi was no longer so arrogant.

There are respectable beings among mortals, and most importantly, Gabriel discovered that the benefits of working for the Montgomery dynasty were far greater than those of working for the Inquisition or the Mechanical Order.

The assistance provided by the dynasty greatly increased the Blood Ravens' combat strength; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to end the battle with such few casualties.

"Lord Gao Yi, the battle against the aliens is our duty, but what about that prophet?"

Gao Yi looked at the prophet Ella, who was being closely guarded. Two squads of Blood Ravens and Templars were holding her captive.

Beside her were two other surviving prophets.

They were also fitted with psionic suppressors.

Artanis's important position in Corrol prevented him from being eliminated directly.

At this moment, Artanis's psionic energy was at least twice as strong as before, and the soul power he had absorbed from the Infinite Circuit had also given him the skills to use psionic energy in the Warhammer world. Artanis was still immersed in this power.

As he communicated with his psionic powers into the warp, he saw the projection of the Xel'Naga in the Sea of ​​Souls.

All of their kind in this world were conceived in his hands.

Although the Protoss once regarded the Xel'Naga as gods and had seen their existence in the physical world.

But no one had ever truly witnessed its process of creating life, and now he saw it, as each celestial being was given a soul and a body.

"Artanis, how are you? Are you getting used to this power?"

"I'm fine! I never imagined that psionic energy could be used in this way; it's even more powerful than I thought."

"Any other gains after mastering this infinite circuit?"

"Yes! You once told me that the Web Path exists in this world. If you complete the transformation of the Spear of Adun, the Spear of Adun will have the ability to open the gate to the Web Path."

The conversion process will take away some of the original permissions of Ark.

"Really?"

This was definitely an unexpected bonus for Gao Yi!

This means that the Protoss no longer need to obtain Soulstones solely by killing Eldar in the Ark; they can also search for Soulstones in the Eldar ruins within the Webpaths, thus gaining another way to acquire population.

He possesses a certain ability to take the initiative against the Eldar hiding in the Web, and if the Spear of Adun were present, he might not have had to watch helplessly as they escaped into the Web.

During the acquisition of privileges, they also obtained a portion of the network route map for the expanded area.
However, it wasn't of much value to Gao Yi, who possessed warp technology. What was truly valuable was a small network tunnel within the network route. That tunnel couldn't accommodate large warships, but it could accommodate small spaceships to enter Comoros!
Gao Yi and Artanis came to Ella's side together, and she looked at Gao Yi with hatred.

He knew that Gao Yi in front of him was the culprit who destroyed the entire Koror Ark.

He is also the human that the clown prophesied would destroy the entire Eldar and bring destruction to the galaxy.

"Monkeys! You are the pests of this Milky Way worm! Your existence will destroy this galaxy."

"No, no, no, you're the only ones who will be destroyed. Humans won't be affected. When you went to fund those pirates to attack my world, you no longer had the right to complain!"

Gao Yi didn't plan to kill Ella directly. Killing her would at most give him a high-ranking Templar, but if he kept her alive, he might be able to pry more useful information out of her.

Every prophet is a breakthrough point; every living being has its limits.

These prophets are not the same group of cunning Slaanesh followers who play tricks.

Gao Yi planned to hand over the two surviving prophets and Ella to Ian.

The court will try to extract as much more important information as possible from them.

He needed to know information about the other Ark Eldar. He knew that although they were independent, they were not completely isolated from other Ark worlds. Moreover, he wanted to know more about the clowns who had instigated the Eldar to attack him.

If these guys can instigate one Ark World, they can instigate a second, and the escaped Eldar will surely spread the word about everything that happened here.

Gao Yi needs to understand these potential enemies better.

The landing troops began collecting soul stones from the battlefield, along with the Eldar weapons left behind. They kept some of these for their own research, even though the Empire had previously attempted to technically decipher these Eldar weapons, but most of their efforts had failed.

However, weapons, vehicles, and even the wreckage of Eldar warships floating in the void can still fetch a good price at the Mechanicus within the Empire.

Gao Yi believes that motorists will be willing to pay a sufficient price for it, and that they should save money and spend it wisely.

The Prophet was handed over to Blood Raven by Gao Yi, who was tasked with escorting him back to Agathos and handing him over to the Tribunal to which Ian belonged.

After most of the people left, only Gao Yi and the Templars who had warped up remained on the Ark. Gao Yi then began the transformation of the Spear of Adun.
