Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 251 Primal
The Primarch had been lurking in the warp opposite of Cadia, waiting for Gao Yi and his group to arrive.

They didn't appear earlier and mingle with the Chaos warships.

They feared that a fleet far exceeding the size of the Empire would force Gao Yi and Guilliman to completely abandon aid to Cadia.

The conflict between the four gods has never disappeared; they are also resisting each other, which makes them unwilling to gather together prematurely.

For these Primarchs, the survival of Kadia was no longer of great importance; all they had to do was complete the task demanded of the Four Gods.

"Kellax! Destroy those warships with the solar beam!"

With the ceremony nearing completion, Gao Yi had no intention of waiting for the other party to emerge from the subspace.

"My lord! These warships are too scattered to be destroyed together!"

Gao Yi looked at the Chaos Warship in the distance.

The unique colors of the Four Gods' powers allowed Gao Yi to immediately identify the corresponding Demon Primarchs.

Before he could even think too much, Gao Yi immediately aimed the Spear of Adun at the spatial rift that represented Nurgle.

Angron and his World Eaters are very powerful, but soldiers in combat suits are still a force to be reckoned with.

Although the Sons of the Emperor, led by Fugen, occasionally appear within the Empire, Fugen himself has been hiding in the Warp and causing trouble for a long time, so he is of no reference value.

After Fugen was eliminated, Gao Yi set his sights on Mortarion of Nurgle, Magnus the Red, and Angron.

He divided the available resources into three parts based on priority.

In Gao Yi's eyes, Motalian posed a greater threat to his troops.

Magnus's greatest strength lies in psychic magic, which Gao Yi has no reason to worry about.

He could withstand the emperor's power, so why would he be afraid of not being able to withstand Magnus's?

Conventional human soldiers would have a hard time fighting against powerful psionic energy, but Gao Yi also has dozens of artificial untouchables at his disposal.

The Protoss also possess strong psionic resistance.

However, if Mortalian were to create some unknown plagues created by Nurgle, Gao Yi wouldn't have any particularly good solutions.

It's easy to imagine that the plague brought by the Primarch is definitely not some trashy species. Once it spreads within the army, Gao Yi doesn't have enough Untouchables to suppress the widespread spread of the plague.

The ordinary soldiers all fell, and Gao Yi alone could not control so many warships.

Along with the Spear of Adun, the Star Pioneer and all the Dynasty warships equipped with warp engines also moved together.

The Spear of Adun is targeting the ceremonial warship belonging to Nurgle.

The solar rays released by the Spear of Adun hit their mark precisely.

Scorched by the sun's rays, the entire warship began to disintegrate, and the blasphemous rituals on it were interrupted. Deprived of the medium of the physical universe, the warp energy supply began to break, causing the warp rift behind it to collapse, directly severing the path for the daemon to enter the real universe.

Gao Yi seemed to hear the angry roars of Nurgle and Mortarion on the other end of the line.

They must still have a way to get to the real universe, but they can't do it in the short term.

There's nothing to worry about as long as Kaul can activate the Blackrock before they reach Kadia by other means.

The ambush planned by the Primarchs has now failed. If all the rifts are closed, things will get really bad.

Their lack of understanding of the Spear of Adun led to the backlash of their own actions.

Meanwhile, at the target location, which was being handled by the Dynasty's ordinary warships, Gorgons and light cruisers equipped with warp engines continuously bombarded the warship with macro cannons, light lances, and Yamato cannons, but the effect was not ideal. The difference in size made it impossible to destroy the ceremonial warship in a short time.

However, it still affected the ceremony inside the warship.

The subspace rift representing Khorne also began to become extremely unstable, as if it were about to close at any moment.

To everyone's surprise, a blood-red meteor shot out from the warp rift first, followed closely by a large number of blood-red chaos warships—the World Eaters belonging to the demon Primarch Angron. Angron impatiently detached himself from the warships with his desecrated body.

The blood-red meteor crashed directly into the nearest Gorgon.

No one expected Angron to appear in this way.

Blood-red fleshy wings, a butcher's nail on its head, and two blood-red longswords in its hands that seal the soul of a great demon.

The Butcher's Nail, which should have been a technological creation of the physical universe, could not be removed while Angron was alive, but it still accompanied him after he turned into a demon.

The effects of Butcher's Nail were even more severe.

A bloodthirsty roar devoid of reason echoed throughout the warship. Ordinary Imperial soldiers looked at Angron with an overwhelming sense of fear rising within them, and Angron began his slaughter.

The warship, still cooling down after its warp drive ended, was unable to escape. Angron, with his powerful demonized body, rampaged through the ship, and no one could stop him.

The warship's bulkhead was torn open.

The remaining Dynasty warships, seeing the large number of World Devourer warships about to emerge, also made their final decision.

The two light cruisers, equipped with warp engines, turned their engines to maximum power and, relying on the rams at the front of the battleships, plunged headlong into the gap opened by the Yamato cannons on the ceremonial battleship!
"For the wandering merchants, for the Montgomery dynasty! Priest! Force activation of the warp drive!"

The captains of these two warships were well aware of the consequences of forcibly activating the ship during its cooldown period. The Star Pioneer had almost fallen apart before, let alone ordinary warships.

However, as it falls apart, the power unleashed by the warp drive will also tear this ceremonial warship to shreds.

With the complete disintegration of the two light cruisers, the Chaos Warship was also reduced to pieces of wreckage.

The magic circle was destroyed.

The subspace opened up by Khorne also began to collapse.

Only a small number of World Eater warships sailed out of the warp, but most of the Chaos warships were trapped inside the warp.

"Motalian failed to reach the real universe! He succeeded! It's a pity that madman Angron got out..."

Guilliman and Felus both showed obvious disgust when they mentioned Angron.

Even before his betrayal, Angron was insane enough; his cruelty toward his own offspring alone disgusted Guilliman and Feralas.

Angron's combat prowess left Gao Yi speechless.

"Hand over that man! Hand him over! Where is he?!"

Angron's furious roars echoed continuously from the communicator on the bridge.

The sound of sharp blades cutting through flesh and the agonizing screams echoed endlessly.

Gao Yi certainly knew who he was looking for; he was looking for DOOM. Khorne had developed an obsession with DOOM.

"Stop him! Stop him now! Marauder squad! Suppressive fire!"

Firebats! Use fire! Ranged weapons are ineffective!

Switch to melee weapons! Let's attack together!

Unfortunately, courage is not always useful, and Angron slaughtered any of the dynasty's soldiers who stood in his way.

Angron, who had traversed a kilometer of Gorgon, quickly cut through it.

He used the divine weapon in his hand to cut through the outer armor of the warship, and then, with the help of the secondary explosion formed by the engine and ammunition, he once again turned into a blood-red meteor and crashed into another of Gao Yi's warships.

Gao Yi never expected this method of boarding.
