Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 254 Allocation Objectives
The Primarchs' fleet began to retreat, and the surrounding Chaos warships followed suit.

The enraged Angron was sucked directly into a portal by a surge of psionic magic, and when he returned to the real universe, he was received by a Chaos wizard who worshipped Tzeentch.

Upon seeing himself forcibly teleported, Angron vented his anger on the surrounding Chaos Wizards. As the last Tzeentch Wizard was killed, the battle taking place on Kadia also drew his attention.

Skulls and blood were everywhere. Even the warbands who already believed in Khorne began to follow his actions. At this time, there were eight Khorne archdemons and eight vampire legions led by them on the Cardia.

In terms of the power of the demon legions, the Khorne forces are the most numerous.

These troops also began to gather under his command.

With these troops, Angron unleashed his fury upon the defenders of Kadia.

Does it matter where you kill someone?
Chasing after people and hacking them to pieces in the void is nowhere as fun as hacking each other to pieces here.

Magnus also began creating a portal to Cardia for himself and Fugen.

There were too many Chaos Wizards on Cadia who worshipped the Four Gods, and the gathering of a large number of believers and the appearance of demons provided a medium for Magnus's sorcery.

Magnus and his thousand sons, as well as Fugen and his imperial sons, all disappeared on their own warships.

When they reappeared, they had already reached the land of Cadia.

“Guilliman, my brother, I’ll be waiting for you on Cartier!”

Magnus looked up at the void above him and murmured.

The sudden appearance of the Primarchs immediately increased the pressure on the defenders of Cadia.

Fugen waved his four arms, each wielding a blasphemous artifact.

The empire's defensive measures along the way were all shattered by his and his imperial sons' attacks.

These former sons of emperors have long since become unrecognizable in the parties of their Primarchs. They constantly inject themselves with various potent combat potions in order to gain some pleasure.

Killing and inflicting cruelty are more appropriate methods.

In just a moment, he broke through the position that the Black Legion had been unable to breach.

Magnus and the Thousand Sons were even more efficient.

No loyalist psionicist could withstand the powerful sorcery.

Even the think tank could only hold out for a moment before their minds were burned out by Magnus's psychic energy.

The flames of the warp scorched everything, and Thunderhawk and Viking were pulled from the sky and slammed into the loyalists' position.

The assault that Astartes organized to stop it was thwarted with just a slight wave of his staff.

The seemingly intact power armor actually contained Astartes that had been reduced to a pulp.

They landed in Cardia; the demonic principalities no longer wanted to engage in this quagmire of fleet warfare.

Even if they win the final victory, the Spear of Adun can take Gao Yi away from the battlefield. It's impossible for the Primarch to kill Gao Yi; he can't even get close by.

Gao Yi and Guilliman both discovered this problem at the same time!

The other party used Cardia itself and the Black Stone Obelisk as bait to force Gao Yi and Guilliman to go there.

If Gao Yi doesn't come, they can just run away and destroy the obelisk and Cadia. If he does come, they can surround and kill him in the ground battle. For the Primarchs, this is a deal that won't be a loss.

Abaddon is attacking the shield array of Cardia.

Although Abaddon kept failing, Magnus thought that Abaddon's concentration of forces wouldn't be unable to accomplish even this small task.
If Abaddon succeeds, Gao Yi, who has arrived in Cardia, can also be killed by the fleet.

Unfortunately, Gao Yi wasn't worried about that at all; he had already arranged everything for Abaddon's attack.

At the same time, the battle report from Kadia was also sent to Gao Yi.

"Lord Gao Yi! Although they have joined the Chaos camp, they are still the most outstanding commanders of the former Empire. I said before that you should use the mobility of your warships to lead you and my warriors into the ground battle to stabilize the defenses of Cadia. Now Chaos has broken into the defenses of Cadia."

Such a massive Chaos army must have already breached numerous positions and fortresses. We have lost the initiative on the battlefield. They will unleash an endless stream of demons into the war. How are you expecting the defenders of Kadia to withstand those demon legions?

"They'll collapse." Feralus said anxiously from the side.

"Lord Gao Yi, use your warships to send Guilliman, his offspring, and me to the battlefield. If we add those Protoss warriors, we should be able to hold them off for the time being!"

"Hold them back? And then what? Are you confident you can exile them? We want victory, not a slow death."

Gao Yi admitted that Guilliman was right, provided that the apparent combat strength was indeed as Guilliman described.

"We'll head to Cardia. But ground battles collapsing? Who told you ground battles would collapse? I think I told you that ground battles are my true forte, didn't I? Demons are endless, and so am I."

Felus, Karax will bring the Purifiers that have already been created with you, while you will be in charge of Fugen and his Imperial Sons.

Guilliman, you and Artanis will lead men to deal with the Thousand Sons. Those special untouchables I've taken in are yours!

As for Angron, we'll deal with him first!

Cleaning up the code brought Gao Yi a lot of profits. Isn't money meant to be spent? Angron, didn't you want to find Doom? Well, I'll just send you a package.

With doubts in their hearts, Guilliman and Firus followed Gao Yi onto one of the few remaining Gorgons.

Meanwhile, on the Blackrock Plains of Kadia.

Creed had already moved his command post here.

Kraf Bastion still has enough legions, but Blackrock is even more important than the bastion.

Creed's expression was grave. Just as Guilliman had predicted, the appearance of the Primarch meant that large numbers of outer defenses were collapsing at an alarming rate.

Perhaps in just one or two hours, they will be able to break through here. Even if they don't annihilate the Imperial garrison, they can still destroy the Blackstone Obelisk directly.

Demons and Chaos traitors mingled together, and the knights of the Imperial Knight Family lay fallen on the plains, reduced to scrap metal.

They had pushed themselves to the limit, but unfortunately, the enemy they faced was too strong.

Two legions of Chaos Titans marched across the land of Cardia.

The once formidable knight appeared exceptionally weak in his presence.

"How is Sage Caul's progress?"

There are still no results.

"Sigh," Creed sighed deeply, but he would never surrender or give up.
-
"It's not enough, I need more time! More time! Damn it, I still can't crack it."

"Pavian, check how far Chaos has progressed for me? This amount of time is far from enough for me to crack the activation method of the Black Stone. Why aren't you nervous? Aren't you more susceptible to emotions because you retain more flesh and blood?"

“Great Sage, you don’t need to panic so much. Didn’t Lord Gao Yi say that he has his own arrangements on the ground? He said that if Chaos cannot advance, then it cannot advance.”

"What demonic armies will Lady Kerrigan withstand?"

“I’ve seen how the Zerg performed in Macragge. They were strong, but not enough to change the situation, right? The Protoss even showed some strength.”

"What you've seen is just the tip of the iceberg of the Zerg and Protoss. If you're lucky enough to get the Lord's permission, Char would be perfect, which is the Zerg's homeworld."

From the moment Lord Gao Yi became a wandering merchant of the Montgomery Dynasty, he has always brought us miracles, and I believe this time will be no exception. All we need to do is wait patiently!

"But the Imperial soldiers outside are constantly being sacrificed, and the situation could easily spiral out of control!"

"Lord Gao Yi said that the current sacrifices are necessary. The activation technology of Blackstone is too important for humanity at present. Although we do not want to see it, we cannot show too much advantage in this war for the time being! We need to wait for the appearance of the space necromancer that Lord Gao Yi mentioned."

Suddenly, Kaul interrupted their conversation via data.

Kaul looked behind him.

A tall, sculpted, hunchbacked space necromancer was approaching him, its chest reactor glowing emerald green, and a fan-shaped hood obscuring two fiery eyes.

“Kaul, you can call me Tarasin.”
