Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 303 In the Comoros, the Protoss are a strategic weapon.

Viktor, who was assembling his team to prepare for retreat, was unaware that his location had been discovered.

Norris, who was in stealth mode, was observing the Black Heart Conspiracy's every move from a ruin.

By following the retreat route of the fleeing conspiracy group and the information provided by Abathur, Norris successfully located the location of Victor's headquarters.

Although Norris didn't know what Victor looked like, he could tell from the respectful manner of the Dark Eldar nobles towards him and the behavior of the Black Heart Cult.

Norris felt he had identified his target.

Compared to Norris a few years ago, the childishness on his face has completely disappeared.

In recent years, countless heretics and rebels have died at Norris's hands.

Cultists, aliens, psionicists, and even demon hosts summoned by sacrificial rituals all died at his and his ghosts' hands.

Despite the seemingly stable and rapidly developing dynasty, undercurrents still surged beneath the surface, and the corrupting influence and allure of chaos remained ever-present.

Although the dynastic system prevented large-scale defections, the influence of some individuals was subtle and gradual, and those who were influenced were unaware of it. Moreover, with a large population, all sorts of people could emerge.

Psychopaths are those who pursue power, even those who want to use the power of chaos to advance their careers in the Montgomery dynasty.

The ghosts, on the other hand, are responsible for accepting missions and secretly eliminating these destabilizing factors.

Gao Yi also further enhanced the best of the ghosts.

With the enhancement of the divine machinery, their physical strength and control over psionic energy have become increasingly powerful.

At this moment, Norris and his most elite ghosts were about two or three hundred meters away from Victor.

When they activated the stealth function of their combat suits using psionic energy, they kept the energy within a distance of two or three meters around them.

Although the Dark Eldar do not use psionic energy, it is not that they are incapable, but rather that they are unwilling. As a naturally psionic race, they also failed to detect these ghosts who were so close at hand.

Norris used his tactical goggles to take a picture of Viktor and sent it back.

They would act immediately once they received Gao Yi's permission.

"Lord! The target is trying to escape. Ghost requests immediate action."

"Are you confident you can capture them alive? To kill them completely, I need to be nearby! Share your location immediately."

“The enemy has too many defensive forces around them. I can see that those Eldar are very strong, but I think the Ghosts can do it. Lord, I request the support of the Spear of Adun and the Zerg.”

"Your request is granted! I have already instructed Karax and Abathur to cooperate with you. Once the time is right, we will act immediately!"

"The ghost will not betray your trust!"

After obtaining the location, Gao Yi immediately instructed Kerrigan to control the swarm to open a path as quickly as possible, and also sent the location to Feralas.

If Norris fails, his main force can also take down Victor.

However, when Artanis wanted to go along, Gao Yi stopped him.

"Artanis, I have other tasks for you to complete."

"Please tell me!"

"A large number of enemy warships are converging here. I believe the Eldar will complete their encirclement before we can finish hunting Viktor. I need you to lead the Protoss to severely damage them and pave the way for our subsequent departure. In Comoros, perhaps your combined destructive power will be the greatest!"

"I don't think the number of Protoss and warships is suitable for completing the mission, Lord. I think Kerrigan's Zerg are more suitable for this mission."

In this terrain, the Protoss are better suited to accompany you on this kind of decapitation mission.

Artanis shared his thoughts.

“No… This mission can only be completed by you. I need to rely on the psionic power of you Protoss to finish it! Are all the existing high-ranking Templars on the Spear of Adun?”

“That’s right, they’re all still on the Spear of Adun and didn’t participate in this operation.”

These irreplaceable beings, which can be merged into rulers, can make all beings in Gaoyi equal, with a one-for-one exchange at the limit, which is extremely precious.

Therefore, they have always been regarded as a trump card, and are not allowed to fight easily.

However, Artanis still couldn't figure out why Gao Yi wanted them to do it.

"Get all the Protoss out of the low-level battlefields. I need these high-ranking governors and Karax to gather all your psionic energy together through the Crystal Tower."

"Gather them together? But that's meaningless... The total amount of psionic energy would be huge, but we don't have the means to turn it into weapons!"
Even high-ranking Templars cannot control such a vast amount of energy. Do you intend to fuse them into Archons? But that… I don’t think it’s worth it! Their numbers are too few, and they can’t possibly destroy a large number of warships! The power of these individuals is not yet at that level.”

"Don't worry, Artanis, I won't let them sacrifice themselves for nothing. These aliens aren't worth it."

The Dark Eldar banned psychic powers in Comoros not just out of fear of attracting the attention of Slaanesh.

It should be noted that Comoros is formed by the fusion of countless networks and subspaces, and the world that appears to be integrated is not as perfect and solid as one might imagine.

The entire Comoros region can be described as extremely unstable.

If enough spiritual energy is released instantaneously in the Comoros, a special phenomenon called dissociation will occur in this space.

A large amount of psionic energy will exacerbate the instability of the Comoros space.

You can think of it as a cataclysmic natural disaster... enough to destroy these Eldar warships gathered together.

The Zerg's psionic energy is too dispersed; I'm worried it won't reach the required total amount.

However, this is also very dangerous. In order to prevent our own fleet from being affected, the Spear of Adun must go far away from the defensive line formed by our fleet and penetrate deep into the Dark Eldar fleet. I will have the Zerg flying units cover you.

But you should know that once they sense the psionic energy on the Spear of Adun, the Dark Eldar will definitely abandon all other targets to stop you!
You need to hold out until the dissociation phenomenon occurs, then immediately jump away!

After hearing Gao Yi's explanation, Artanis, despite having no concept of dissociation, still complied unconditionally.

Let alone Artanis, even Gao Yi had no idea, but he believed the descriptions he had seen online.

As for whether doing so would provoke the Dark Elf Clan to unite against him, Gao Yi didn't consider it at all; after all, they had already completely broken off relations.

If successful, it will take the Dark Eldar countless years to recover.

After accepting the mission, Artanis immediately led all the Protoss away from the battlefield using warp.

Meanwhile, the Spear of Adun began to break away from Gao Yi's fleet and head towards the area where the Dark Eldar were most concentrated.

A large number of flying Zerg swarmed around the Spear of Adun, providing it with cover.
