Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 290 Spy Exposed
Just as Gao Yi needed to ensure the safety of his rear, so did Viktor.

When he learned that the alien insects belonged to Gao Yi, he knew that he absolutely could not allow them to continue to grow stronger.

By verifying everything that had happened in Kadia, he realized that the threat posed by these Zerg was greater than he had imagined.

With the endorsement of the Laughing God and the Jesters' direct elimination of some of the governors who opposed him, Viktor was able to gather a massive army from various conspiracies. The Jesters themselves also directly intervened in the war against the Zerg, in order to help Viktor find Abathur's location.

These Mandelas were forcibly drawn from various conspiracies and the nobility.

The Zerg are protecting humanity, and Lemir decides to capture the humans here to either learn about or force Abathur to appear.

As long as they can capture living humans, they won't have to worry about not being able to extract information using the torture methods of the Dark Eldar.

The ghouls soon stopped; they had caught the scent of humans.

Lemir looked in the direction the ghoul was looking, at a vast ruin of buildings dating back to the ancient Eldar empire.

From the outside, it looks no different from any other ruins, but Lemir knows that the human refuge is hidden within.

This matches the intelligence provided by the spy!

"Found you!"

Without any verbal communication, the clowns rushed toward the hidden refuge.

Meanwhile, those Mandela who had received orders had already sneaked into the refuge undetected under the cover of darkness.

Meanwhile, the sentries on the perimeter and the human guards on watch were unaware of the impending danger.

The dark environment where the sentry was located was perfect for Mandela's sneak attack.

These soldiers, who thought they were well hidden, never expected to be discovered so easily.

One by one, the sentries were eliminated without anyone noticing, while the guards in combat uniforms were assassinated by the clown.

The combat suit was utterly inadequate against the clown's weaponry.

The nerve-shredding gun prevented it from even issuing a warning before it died.

Those who were unlucky were stabbed in the body by the clown who circled around from behind with the clown's kiss.

The monomolecular filaments completely shredded its internal organs.

Even an entire company of Astartes couldn't withstand the assassination attempts of so many buffoons, let alone these mortals.

Meanwhile, the people inside the shelter were unaware that danger was approaching.

Stella was busy preparing the mushrooms she had picked for her evening snack when suddenly her psychic abilities began to take effect.
An extremely dangerous feeling surged into her brain. Since her psychic awakening, this sense of danger had saved her several times. She knew this feeling was not wrong, so she immediately put down her work and followed her instincts to look in one direction.

The people inside the shelter continued their lives as usual.

"Where exactly is it...where exactly is the problem?!"

Stella murmured, her voice filled with extreme anxiety.

Finally, she pushed through the crowd and saw a person casually walking towards the base's power plant, the place that maintained the base's energy supply and lighting.

Although the other person appeared perfectly normal, Stella was already convinced that there was something wrong with him.

"Stop! What are you doing! Stop that person! Now!!"

Stella roared at the top of her lungs.

The soldiers from the dynasty also looked at Stella. They all knew that their commander had a good relationship with the little girl in front of him, and even treated her like a daughter.

"Stella! What happened?!"

"Brother Ron! That man is suspicious! Stop him!"

Stella shouted at the royal soldiers in front of her.

Ron also looked at the person Stella was pointing at.

Seeing that the other person was not a priest but was heading towards the power plant, he realized something was wrong.

The person Stella pointed at no longer looked so calm.

He never imagined how he had been exposed!
Ron immediately thought of Burns and the others who had mentioned the possible traitor within the shelter.

"You! Stop! I told you to stop!" But when he fired the C14 from his back at the other man, it was too late.

The other party had already taken out a grenade from the Eldar from his pocket, and without hesitation activated it and threw it into the power plant.

With a loud explosion, the shelter was plunged into darkness.

The explosions and the shutdown of the power plant plunged the shelter into chaos, and two Astartes immediately began to restore order.

"Priest! Restore the power immediately! Everyone, put on your combat suits as soon as possible!!"

Ron pulled Stella aside.

"Stella! Hide! Don't come out."

But Stella was clutching her head, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

"So many monsters!"

At this moment, in her psychic perception, a large number of non-human auras suddenly appeared in the shelter, each of them emanating extremely dangerous signals.

And these invaders were none other than Mandela.

If the power system were still functioning normally, they wouldn't be able to sneak in undetected. But now, the darkness inside the shelter allows them to reach any location within it at will.

"Stella, what are you saying! What monster!" Ron had no idea what was going on; he couldn't see anything in the darkness.

"careful!"

Ron felt Stella shove him away, and then the sound of a blade piercing flesh reached his ears.

When Mandela was close by, Ron also saw the monster Stella had described.

He couldn't see its exact appearance, but he could see the green patterns constantly shimmering on its body.

Stella's reminder to everyone led Mandela to directly target her.

Stella felt a sharp pain in her abdomen as a dagger pierced her body.

As if he had already decided that Stella was completely beyond saving, Mandela simply tossed her aside.

"You monster! For the sake of humanity! There are invaders! The shelter has been breached!"

After reminding everyone, Ron also rushed towards the other party without hesitation.

An unexpected raid was thwarted by Stella's warning.

The remaining men immediately picked up their weapons and fought back.

However, most of them were not wearing combat suits and were in the dark. Facing the Mandela Time, which appeared at a strange speed and at an unknown time, they suffered heavy casualties.

Fortunately, two Roaring Griffins and the Silver Skull Astartes remained in the camp.

Darkness cannot be a hindrance to Astartes.

Their counterattack gave the remaining fighters the opportunity to don combat gear and fight back.

Countless searchlights began to dispel the darkness, but humanity's enemies were not only Mandela...

The Eldar clowns have also entered the refuge.

"Seize those two human Astartes! They must know something!!"

Lemir gave orders to the clowns, but even in a one-on-one fight, these two Astartes were no match for nearly a hundred clowns.

The clowns dodged the bullets fired by the two Astartes, and their power swords severed the arm of one of the Astartes who was holding a weapon.

When the two tried to fight back, they felt their legs go numb.

With three of its limbs severed, even Astartes had little fighting power left.

Lemire mocked the futile resistance of these humans.

Meanwhile, Burns and Argus rode their small dog back to the outside of the shelter.

Hearing the gunshots and sounds of fighting coming from inside, they knew they were too late.
