Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 266 Abaddon, a very nice collection

Apart from Abaddon's own elite forces, warbands belonging to different cults began to flee despite obstruction and orders, with warships activating their warp engines to jump out of the area.

After the first warship successfully entered the warp and escaped, most of the Black Legion warships couldn't hold back any longer, just like a chain reaction caused by the collapse of morale in a team in a game.

However, this is also when a warship is most vulnerable. If they concentrate their forces to resist, the Empire will suffer huge losses if it wants to annihilate all the Chaos fleets.

But Chaos Fang, who was only thinking about having others cover his rear, had no mind to fight.

At this point, they were merely targets who could not resist. Only Abaddon's loyal followers were still trying to stop the resistance. It wasn't that they didn't want to leave, but their war commander was still in Cardia.

At this point, Abaddon realized that his situation was hopeless. He hated the stupidity of those who fled, as he could have successfully evacuated most of his warships by paying a small price.

This loss has completely wiped out his hundreds of years of efforts. He is well aware of the difficulty of reorganizing and assembling such a fleet again. Most importantly, this crushing defeat will cause him to lose the trust of other Chaos factions and forces.

The exorcising death zone temporarily removed the blessings of the chaotic gods from his body, leaving him to fight solely by relying on his superhuman physical abilities.

Although the Zerg and Protoss forces that had been blocking him had faded away, and he could easily destroy Clough Bastion, what would be the point?

All he can do now is leave Cardia with the remaining troops, preserving as much strength as possible; everything needs to be planned carefully.

As long as he is alive, he has the opportunity to organize another expedition.

"Assemble the team! We're returning to the Vengeful Spirit and leaving Cadia!"

Abaddon's tone clearly betrayed his barely suppressed resentment.

Looking at the troops still gathered around him, Abaddon felt a pang of heartache; the Black Legion veterans who were truly loyal to him had also suffered heavy losses.

The existence of the Exorcist Dead Zone prevented him from even teleporting directly back to the Soul of Vengeance. He knew that if he delayed any longer, he would truly be surrounded by the Empire.

Several fighter jets landed beside him on his orders, and he and the veteran soldiers around him boarded the warship together.

Seeing the Chaos army still entangled with the Imperial forces and unable to break free from the battlefield, Abaddon did not hesitate to abandon them to buy himself time, including the two Vulcan Titan legions.

Transporting the Titans was far more complicated than anticipated, and Abaddon desperately wanted to take them with him, but he could no longer do so.

The fighter jets took off, carrying Abaddon back to the spirit of vengeance.

However, some people did not want to see Abaddon leave.

At this moment, they are inside the fuselage of the fighter jet.

Abaddon suddenly noticed that the fighter jets were slowing down.

When he opened the cockpit to yell at the pilot to speed up, he discovered that the fighter pilot was actually a space ghost.

"Alas, we've been discovered, Lord Tarachin! Finish your collection as soon as possible. I'm already planning to return to conduct my experiments; I was originally intending to bring them directly back to your flagship."

"Sanne, why are you always in such a hurry? You've been with me for so long, can't you appreciate the joy of collecting?"

Hearing the voice coming from behind him, Abaddon became extremely nervous. How did the other party manage to do that?!

When he swung his demonic sword into the void with his extraordinary intuition, he found that the surrounding space had completely frozen.

Abaddon found that his consciousness could still move freely, but his body had been suppressed to an extremely slow level. If his body was still moving at an extremely slow speed, the veteran soldiers who had boarded the fighter jet with him could not even make the slightest movement.

The body of the space necromancer wielding the scepter appeared and disappeared intermittently.

Abaddon could only watch helplessly as the other person leisurely walked up to him.

"The Demon Sword Draconion is indeed an extraordinary thing, but unfortunately it poses an astonishing threat to humans. However, I am not human, so I might as well use your power claws, although they won't be of much use anyway."

Draconion, born from humanity's first murder, possesses a special affinity for humans. And this mysteriously appearing figure is none other than Tarasin.

Using the Cloak of Time, an artifact forged from fragments of time itself, he was able to plan ahead for capturing Abaddon.

It was never just one of his clones that was active in Kadia; the one assisting Kaul was just one of his clones.

Regardless of whether Gao Yi will actually meet him as agreed, he has already made a profit this time.

Using the magical Cube Maze, Tarasin has already secretly captured quite a few valuable items.

This included all the small Zerg units. He had wanted to capture a Ultralisk or a Brood Lord, but it was difficult to do so within the Zerg swarm.

He was thinking of capturing a Protoss to play with, but a heavily wounded Protoss would teleport back to the Spear of Adun before dying, and the Protoss always acted in groups.

He could only settle for collecting a probe and a crystal tower.

What interested Tarachin the most was DOOM, but the fighting prowess he displayed made him abandon the idea. Even if he couldn't capture DOOM, the scene of his battle with Khorne was enough to go down in history.

Talathim, however, recorded the appearance of DOOM and its rampage into Khorne's Realm through another artifact, the Prism Gallery.

Talazin also recorded many other epic historical scenes, such as the battles between Chaos and the Zerg and Protoss, and the scene of Feralus killing Fulgrim.

Tarasin felt he could appreciate each piece of history presented in holographic form for a long time.

Nothing could excite Tarasin more than these.

However, Kerrigan informed Gao Yi when Tarashin captured these Zerg.

Every Zerg is within Kerrigan's psionic network, and Gao Yi can also sense the Probes and SCVs.

Gao Yi did not stop Tarasin. He figured it was fine if the other party stole these things; perhaps he was thinking of taking this opportunity to visit Tarasin's museum, which had many valuable items.

Now, Tarasim is capturing his last and most valuable possession: Chaos Warmaster Abaddon.

Taracin lightly tapped the demon sword with his finger. This powerful weapon, Abaddon, was not displaying its true power. The process of Abaddon obtaining it was also deliberately guided by someone, and the most likely person was the Emperor. Abaddon's existence was like the new jailer of the demon sword.

It's better for Abaddon, a doomed loser, to use it than for some other demon to obtain it.

Tarasin even playfully stroked Abaddon's topknot.

This toy-like behavior made Abaddon feel incredibly humiliated.

"Do you feel humiliated? Anger will not give you any advantage when facing me. If you were still blessed by those beings from the Warp, perhaps you would have the power to resist, but with your physical body, even the Primarchs of humanity could not break free, let alone you."

Among his collection is a "loyal" clone of Forgan; although a clone, it is still far superior to Abaddon.

As the surrounding space began to shrink, more than a dozen veterans and Abaddon were all brought into Tarasin's hands.

With the standard cube taking shape, Tarasin acquired a very satisfying piece.

"Chaos Warmaster, Great Raider, chosen by the Four Gods, rest assured, your historical significance will allow me to place you in a very prominent position in my museum! Let's go, Sennett, it's time for us to go back."

As Tarachin departed, the fighter jet carrying Abaddon plummeted toward the ground.

When Abaddon's other guards went to the crash site to search for the plane, their commander had completely disappeared.

No matter what they tried or by what means, they could not make contact; in their eyes, Abaddon seemed to have vanished in an instant.

Seeing the Imperial fleet getting closer and closer, the Black Legion on Vengeance Soul had no choice but to take Blackrock Fortress back to the Warp.
