Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 304 Assassination is just a cover
Meanwhile, more and more ghosts gathered around Norris, and all 150 ghosts in the entire lower level came to his side at Norris's command.

Meanwhile, Viktor had also prepared his team to escape.

"Sir, the target is escaping!"

Upon hearing this, Norris immediately issued the order to take action.

"Each group, remember your mission. Our objective is to capture the target alive and bring him to the lord's side. Prioritize eliminating high-threat targets. Target assignments have been transmitted to your tactical goggles. For Lord Gao Yi, for the Montgerd Dynasty!"

As the ghosts began to approach and move, Victor and his most powerful gladiators immediately sensed something was amiss.

They sensed a large amount of scattered psionic energy fluctuations. The clowns had the privilege of using psionic energy in Comoros, and after suffering heavy losses, Lemir and his group of clowns temporarily left Comoros and returned to the Netway to recuperate.

The psionic energy appearing here can only be from enemies.

In the Comoros, where assassinations and murders are extremely common, the group of conspirators immediately realized that the assassins were approaching.

This is especially true for Victor.

One by one, the black bean sprouts pulled out their own long knives, raised their gun barrels, and looked around warily, but found nothing.

After a series of soft gunshots, the heads of the black-hearted gang members exploded like watermelons.

In an instant, dozens of corpses appeared on the ground.

As the nearby ghosts also activated phase shift, they broke their stealth and appeared beside the Dark Eldar, their target being the Eldar wielding powerful weapons.

The psionic blades easily sliced ​​through the thin armor of the Dark Eldar.

However, many more Dark Eldar dodged these attacks; they were exceptionally experienced in such sudden assassinations.

But the most fatal thing is that as the ghosts get closer, their combat suits start to stop keeping them invisible.

The ghosts felt they could no longer freely mobilize the spiritual energy within their bodies.

As a ruler, how could Victor not carry some artifacts that could protect him from psionic attacks?

Comoros inherited a large portion of the ancient Eldar Empire's legacy, and many of these artifacts were acquired by Victor!

The Eldar's use of psionic energy far surpassed that of any other civilization in the galaxy. At that time, psionic-powered unmanned machines had completely replaced all production in the Eldar Empire.

They incorporated psionic energy into their empire and into every aspect of their lives.

And how could a race that uses psionic energy as a weapon not have some countermeasures? Just like Males's short sword that makes her immune to psionic attacks, Viktor also has something similar.

Invisibility began to fail, and the psionic blade in my hand began to flicker.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Norris immediately began to back away.

Facing the ghosts charging towards him, Viktor remained completely calm. "I've faced more assassination attempts than you've eaten meals. You think you can take me down with this?"

Viktor's sudden burst of speed was so great that Norris's dynamic vision couldn't catch him. When Viktor reappeared, the ghosts who were close to him had already been cut in half by the power sword in his hand.

Even though the ghosts are enhanced, there is still a huge gap in their strength.

Since psionic energy was useless, they resorted to physical methods. Norris fired his C-20A rifle continuously, but it was all blocked by the field shield carried by Viktor.

Just as Norris was about to switch ammunition to disable Viktor's force field shield, Viktor had already reached him.

Norris managed to dodge the fatal blow with all his might.

Norris felt as if he had just been so close to death.
Seeing Norris's performance, Victor also said sarcastically.
"Humans... is this all the tricks you have? Are you really this pathetic without psionic power?!"

Without the support of psionic blades and psionic energy, the ghosts, lacking the element of surprise, were immediately at a disadvantage when facing these dark Eldar with long lifespans and a lifetime of killing.

Many of the Ghosts' phase shifts are cooling down and they are unable to support rapid maneuvers.

Upon seeing the manifested ghost, thousands of elite Dark Eldar rushed forward, further increasing the ghost's casualties.

But after a moment, Victor saw no fear or helplessness on Norris's face.

He saw Norris's lips move slightly as if he were saying something.

Was he giving his last words to his companions? Obviously not.

As Norris uttered his last word, the ground trembled once more. Victor knew what this meant: the savage beasts rampaging across the front lines!
Sure enough, after Norris opened up the area, Abathur controlled the beast to burrow directly into the ground and arrive at this location.

Three savage beasts burst forth from the ground, sending dark elves flying one by one, their biological longswords killing any elves that tried to approach the ghosts.

They also developed a set of corresponding countermeasures against the savage beasts and dark spirit race.

The Eldar on the periphery continued to fire antimatter weapons at the savages. They knew the savages wouldn't last long, but Norris's support wasn't only from the Zerg; the Protoss support also stopped abruptly.

Karax used the system on the Spear of Adun to lock onto Norris's location.

The battlefield support that had been kept unused has also arrived.

The time bomb from the assault cluster was teleported directly to Norris and exploded in his area.

With a violent tremor.

In an instant, all the surrounding Dark Elf race members were stunned and locked in place by time and space lock.

Viktor was also affected.

Seeing his subordinates held in place, his previously confident expression finally changed.

"These monkeys have mastered the technology to control time and space?!"

The range and effect are absolutely beyond what static weapons can achieve; the long-range delivery capability and accuracy are clearly beyond common sense.

This isn't an open plain; above them are countless layers of buildings.

Moreover, stasis weapons should be indiscriminate in their effects on friend or foe. Currently, only the Dark Eldar are affected; the Ghosts and Beasts, who are considered allies, are unaffected.

Such precise friend-or-foe identification and delivery capabilities are unprecedented.

Only Victor was able to move his body extremely slowly. The time bomb was also based on psionic energy, but it did not rely entirely on it.

The psionic energy absorption shielding device on his body did have some effect after all, but not much.

Viktor's previously undetectable speed was now slowed down countless times.

He could only watch helplessly as the swift and powerful beasts crushed one after another the elite warriors of the Black Heart Gang.

Norris immediately went to Victor's side.

"Alien, the assassination attempt was just a pretext to test your strength."

Hearing Norris's taunts, Victor tried his best to swing his weapon, but it was still incredibly slow.

"Reporting, Lord, target successfully captured!"

Looking at Viktor, Norris said calmly.

The time bomb's duration was too short for them to kill all the Dark Eldar present, and Norris immediately drew his monomolecular combat dagger.

Viktor's limbs were severed, but the excruciating pain did not cause him to lose consciousness. Norris also quickly removed all of Viktor's weapons.

Just as he was pondering how to escape and what the humans would do with him, a wild beast came to Victor's side.

It opened its big mouth.

Looking at the mouth filled with countless sharp teeth, Victor thought the beast was going to bite him to death, but the beast did not do so.

The beast swallowed Victor whole without chewing or tearing him, and then began digging again.

Watching the beast leave, Norris led the remaining ghosts away from the battlefield.

Once the ghost and the beast had left, the effect of the time bomb ended.

The survivors of the ruthless conspiracy group were at a loss, staring at the corpses scattered on the ground and the vanished Victor...

"Go find the Bloodlust! They must have a way to resurrect Lord Victor!!"

Viktor's confidants could only think of this one solution.
