Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 291 Wild Beast: Are you tickling me?

Burns witnessed the massacre of humans in the shelter by the clown and Mandela through the servo system inside his combat suit.

“Burns! What did you see?!”

"It's the Eldar! And those monsters they've been raising!!"

Burns was furious, and just as he was about to rush in to join the battle, Argus stopped him.

Argus knew perfectly well that rushing in now would be tantamount to throwing away two more lives!
The fact that the Dark Eldar were able to reach this place means they must have made thorough preparations!
The protection provided by the insect swarm, coupled with repeated victories, lulled people into a false sense of security.

The clowns had no interest in continuing to participate in the battle between humanity and Mandela.

He didn't care whether these strange creatures, who weren't from the Elven race, lived or died, nor did he intend to kill all the humans here.

These two Astartes, who had lost the ability to resist, were his targets. In his eyes, if humans knew Abathur's location, then these two Astartes certainly did as well.

Ignoring the curses of the two Astartes, Lemir began preparing to take them away.

“Burns, go find Abathur, he will protect you.”

"And what about you!"

"The Salamander never abandons its comrades. I will rush in and save as many people as possible."

"No! I'm still wearing my combat uniform, I can still fight! The Montgerd Dynasty has no deserters either!"

Burns rejected Argus's offer without hesitation. "You can't abandon your comrades, but can I? There are still many soldiers from the dynasty among them."

Seeing Burns' resolute attitude, Argus said nothing more.

"Alright! Let's fight together!"

Just as the two were determined to die and were about to enter the shelter to fight for their lives...

The two etheric leaping insects that brought them there did not leave. Instead, they came in front of the two and stopped them from moving forward.

"Get out of the way of the aliens! Go back to your masters and tell them everything that happened here!"

Argus urged the two leaping insects to leave, unaware that these two insects were also Abathur's eyes.

Through the intelligence sent back by the springtails, Abathur also learned about what was happening at the human shelter.

Abathur didn't care about the lives of humans, and he was completely unmoved by whether Burns and Argus should go to their deaths.

However, Gao Yi ordered him to take these humans out, just as the Queen of Blades' orders must be obeyed, so too must Gao Yi's orders.

After observing the situation at the front, he knew that the beast could provide valuable support, but he still chose to send the beast to rescue the humans.

Abathur looked at the three savage beasts behind him and gave his command.

The beast that had been quietly staying beside Abathur suddenly went berserk.

They began to dig rapidly with all their limbs, and in almost an instant their massive bodies were buried in the ground.

Even the solid rock beneath the fleshy floor couldn't stop them in the slightest.

Their destination is human refuge.

The ability to travel at incredible speeds underground, ignoring terrain obstacles and reaching any destination, is also one of the special abilities of the Savage Beast.

This makes the savage beasts a nightmare for almost any fortress, capable of breaching even the strongest walls and defenses.

Just as Argus and Burns were about to ignore the jumping insects' obstruction, they suddenly felt a tremor from the ground...

The two looked behind them and saw three constantly moving ridges on the ground.

The fungal carpet was torn apart, revealing the original ground.

The three ridges passed over the two without stopping and headed straight for the shelter.

Soon, a terrifying roar came from inside the shelter, and everything around seemed to tremble.

The two small dogs that had been blocking the two of them also rushed towards the shelter.

Seeing the state of the two Zerglings, Argus immediately realized that Abathur had made his move, and he immediately rushed into the shelter with Burns.

As he passed the human corpses at the entrance, he was also shocked by the scene before him. Three savage beasts had burst from the ground, their biological blades tearing apart all their enemies.

Several clowns who couldn't dodge in time were sent flying into the sky.

Facing the attack of a wild beast, let alone being hit by a cut, even being bumped into would result in being smashed to pieces.

The clowns who were hit struggled in vain, their bones completely shattered.

With little sense, Mandela attempted to attack the beast, but their longswords and daggers couldn't even penetrate its bio-armor.

When these approaching Mandrakes came, they raised their four legs and crushed them to death.

The expression beneath Lemiel's mask was also particularly fascinating.

The Zerg have never made a move in this world before. The intelligence from the Cardia made Lemir think he had a complete grasp of the Zerg situation, but in this great war, the Zerg haven't even revealed all their trump cards?!

Compared to the Thunder Beast, the Brutal Beast, enhanced by Abathur, is the true biological Titan of the Zerg.

"What exactly is this monster?"

Lemir kept pulling the trigger of his Star Dart pistol.

Although the attack successfully penetrated the beast's armor, such a penetrating attack was no different from being bitten by a mosquito in the face of the beast's size.

Some clowns used their agility to get close to the beast, attempting to directly crush its internal organs with the monomolecular threads released by their clown kisses.

However, it is clear that the body of the alien insect is very different from that of a normal body.

The monomolecular threads that entered the beast's body did work, but they did not cause any fatal damage.

A large chunk of flesh was indeed shredded, but it had no effect on the beast, which felt no pain.

The biological longsword whistled through the air and cleaved a clown into a bloody pulp. As long as the weapon is big enough, the illusions that the clown uses to confuse the enemy are useless.

Upon seeing the clowns shooting at it from afar, the beast's special cavity began to generate biological spikes.

It did not use its most powerful acid spray, and the clown was surrounded by many captured humans.

This prompted the beast to begin using its newly acquired single-target attacks.

The powerful muscles propelled the enormous spikes out like cannonballs.

Lemiel didn't even see the trajectory of the spikes before he found two members of the troupe beside him being pierced by them.

The clown's body was completely torn apart by the powerful kinetic energy, turning into a pile of limbs on the ground.

Even the clowns were helpless in the face of such a giant unit.

To ensure the speed and surprise of the raid, the clowns did not carry any vehicles or heavy weapons.

As one clown after another was killed, several troupes had already lost more than half of their members!

And the damage they caused... Lemir discovered that the wounds on the beasts were healing rapidly.

This is also Abathur's unique ability: he can restore the vitality of his Zerg within a certain period of time without needing a Queen or creep.

The damage caused by lives was thus erased.

Upon seeing this, Lemire knew that his operation had failed, and the losses suffered by the troupe had exceeded their capacity to bear.

Killing these three enormous creatures was simply beyond the capabilities of the weapons they currently possessed.

"Retreat! Don't worry about these humans anymore!"

At this point, the clown could no longer care about maintaining his elegance.

Now that these three monsters have arrived, even more alien insects are definitely heading this way.

If we don't leave now, we really won't be able to leave.

And just as Lemir had predicted, an army of Zerg had already surrounded the area.
