My Desperate Journey in 40k

"Uh..., Master Primarch, does the Empire have a second Warmaster? I have been in the Warp for too long. Does the Empire now have two Warmasters?"

Alexander Keda heard Wang Ming's words and asked Wang Ming in confusion.

"Which Warmaster gave you the order?"

Wang Ming asked the traveling merchant.

"Of course it is the great Imperial Warmaster, Primarch of the Sixteenth Legion, your brother, Lord Horus."

Although Alexander Keda was puzzled by Wang Ming's words, he still told him everything. After all, the person in front of him was a Primarch.

"Well, you guys should go to Gobe World to resupply first."

After hearing Alexander Keda's answer, Wang Ming spoke to him calmly, just like when he spoke to the captain of the "Starry Sky", Darcy Oak, with an extremely flat tone.

"Well, thank you, great Primarch."

Alexander Keda said respectfully, and then Wang Ming directly disconnected the video connection.

"Captain Leandro Ferreira, prepare the boarding torpedoes. There is a Conqueror-class interstellar cruiser that will be docked at the starport to replenish promethium fuel. It is ready to receive my orders at any time. Let the mortal auxiliary army board the Conqueror-class interstellar cruiser. Quickly control them and try not to hurt anyone."

Wang Ming asked Captain Jiang Tao to be ready, to prepare the boarding torpedoes and the mortal auxiliary forces, and to be ready to board the merchant's ship when it arrives at Star Harbor and take control of the people on board.

This Conquest-class starship is clearly a ship from the Great Crusade era, and was brought to the P'nek system by a warp storm.

"It still depends on the Warmaster's orders. Horus has been dead for ten thousand years."

Wang Ming recalled Alexander Keda's words and couldn't help but laugh. Taking the order from the war commander more than 10,000 years ago and executing it more than 10,000 years later, even without knowing the era, there was a sense of beauty in it, like using the sword of the Ming Dynasty to kill the officials of the Qing Dynasty.

After dealing with the matter of the wandering traders from the Great Crusade, Wang Ming also had a conversation with the battle nun.

After stating some things about loyalty and confirming his identity, Wang Ming communicated with him, went to the world of Gobe for a loyalty test, and then joined the Primarch's army and traveled to the starry sea for the Empire.

"Captain Jiang Tao, analyze the expressions of those two people just now, and try to analyze the truthfulness of what they just said."

After Wang Ming finished his call with the combat nun, he told Captain Jiang Tao that he had no idea about these characters who had never appeared in the plot and he had to be careful.

"Captain Wang Ming, through analyzing the tone of their voices and Gothic grammar, their words are both true. It's just that their tone was deliberately exaggerated when they said some places."

After a while of analysis, Captain Jiang Tao presented his analysis results to Wang Ming.

"Well, at least it proves that they are all fine. But we must pay attention to that wandering trader. He is a trader from the Great Crusade era, and he was given the canonization document by Warmaster Horus himself."

Wang Ming looked at the picture on the screen and said to Captain Jiang Tao.

"If he is truly confirmed to be a heretic, then use explosive bombs and lasers to send him to personally meet the Emperor."

Wang Ming said to Captain Jiang Tao, and Captain Jiang Tao nodded to Wang Ming!

"Also, prepare the weapon matrix of the Imperial Truth. If any danger occurs, destroy it immediately."

Finally, Wang Ming added that, in fact, from the previous conversation, we can know that he is just a wandering merchant in the era of the Great Expedition.

And from his words that Horus is the Warmaster of the Empire, it can be judged that at that point in time, Horus was still the Warmaster of the Empire, at least on the surface.

The Rogue Trader believed that he was receiving orders from the Imperial Warmaster, and that he might actually be the Imperial Warmaster, rather than the corrupted Horus.

"Ah~, this day after day."

Wang Ming shook his head, picked up the data tablet and went out. He was now ready to go to the starport of the Gobe world and return to the "Imperial Truth". He would need to show up in person for the contact that would take place later.

The star port of the Gobe world is called "Stairway to Heaven" by the local indigenous people. This name was told to them by a traveling merchant who had nothing to do during the Great Crusade. Since then, the name has been passed down from generation to generation by the locals.

In fact, this starport is called Babel Starport. It is a starport similar to a space elevator. Huge loading elevators continuously descend from the space station in orbit to the ground to transport various goods to the space station.

The locals had no knowledge of this ladder to heaven. Under the deliberate control of the empire, their technological level in the past ten thousand years had only reached the basic age of firearms. However, they had made some progress. More than ten thousand years ago, they used muskets, and more than ten thousand years later, they used automatic rifles and some primitive and crude machine guns.

Wang Ming took Jose and a 50-man Primarch's guards to the starport transport elevator. The Primarch's guards finally did the original job that Wang Ming defined for them, accompanying the Primarch to important occasions as a guard of honor.

“It’s a really strange feeling.”

Wang Ming looked at the soldiers guarding the starport elevator and thought strangely.

A group of medieval-style knights, wearing plate armor and with a long sword hanging on their waists, but carrying a very simple old-fashioned bolt-action rifle on their backs. How strange this scene could be.

"Sir, the elevator is ready. You can go to the starport at any time."

A knight walked up to Wang Ming and spoke to him in fluent High Gothic.

"Okay, let's go right away."

Wang Ming raised his eyebrows when he heard the fluent High Gothic. He knew that this knight must be a noble from the planetary governor's family. The local nobles of the Gobe world would not know the existence of the empire.

Wang Ming led the Primarch's guards into the transport elevator, and the sealed door of the transport elevator slowly closed.

The transport elevator, which had been running for 10,000 years, made a series of "clicking" sounds and was slowly pulled onto the space station on orbit.

"It has been running for more than 10,000 years without any problems. The quality assurance of the oil man is really good."

Wang Ming looked out the window of the transport elevator and saw several other transport elevators slowly leaving the ground. He couldn't help but sigh at the oil man's quality control.

The transport elevator at Babel Star Port is very slow and it takes a long time to transport the cargo to the space station. Wang Ming was bored and looked at the data tablet in his hand.

Wang Ming looked at the information Captain Jiang Tao had just sent him about the situation of the two fleets and fell into deep thought.

The Rogue Trader had only one ship, while the Battle-Sister led a small fleet consisting of two Imperial transports, a Cobra-class destroyer, and an Astartes Strike Cruiser.

"There are also ships of the Astartes Chapter. This makes the situation a bit complicated."

Wang Ming looked at the intelligence and instantly felt that the matter had become complicated. The appearance of the Astartes Legion was either accidental or a world-class war had occurred.

"I don't know which regiment it is."

Wang Ming put away the data tablet, looked at the arrival time of the slowly rising transport elevator, closed his eyes and prepared to take a short rest.

Chapter 134: Eldar and the Enhancementists

The transport elevator arrived at the starport and the sealed door slowly opened. Wang Ming and the Primarch's guards walked out of the elevator. Wang Ming and the Primarch's guards walked towards the docking port where the "Imperial Truth" was parked and boarded the "Imperial Truth".

"It is estimated that it will take another day to reach the star port. Let's prepare. Let the travelers who are still on the ship prepare. Then let the mortal auxiliary troops ambush in the space station and respond immediately if anything goes wrong."

In the command room of the "Imperial Truth", Wang Ming was telling Captain Leandro Ferreira about the plan after the wandering merchant arrived at the starport.

"Yes, my Lord Primarch, I will arrange it right away."

Captain Leandro Ferreira listened to Wang Ming's narration, nodded and went to make arrangements.

After Wang Ming arranged the tasks, he returned to his nest on the "Imperial Truth" and prepared to take a rest. He had been working day and night for several days, and his body and soul had been tortured by the Emperor twice. Now he was in urgent need of rest.

Wang Ming fell asleep the moment he lay down. The Emperor's possession had caused him too much damage, especially mentally.

"Lord Primarch! Lord Primarch!"

Wang Ming heard someone calling him and opened his eyes hazily. The first person he saw was Jose standing beside the bed.

"what happened?"

Wang Ming climbed up from the bed and walked towards the power armor hanging on the equipment rack, asking Jose as he walked.

"Master Primarch, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. Those people have arrived, and their ship is now docking with the port of the starport."

Jose first apologized for disturbing Wang Ming's rest, and then told Wang Ming the whole situation.

"It's okay, Jose, you didn't disturb me. Go and notify the Primarch's guards and ask them to go to the starport to prepare. I'll go over there as soon as I finish putting on my power armor."

Wang Ming told Jose that it would take some time for him to wear the power armor.

"Yes, my Lord Primarch, I will prepare it now."

After hearing what Wang Ming said, Jose performed the Sky Eagle Salute to Wang Ming and went out. He first went to prepare the arrangements for the Primarch's Guards.

"Ah..., why is this machine so slow?"

Wang Ming watched Jose walk out, then looked down at the robotic arms that were installing power armor on him, and thought helplessly.

After Wang Ming installed the power armor, he went to the star port. When Wang Ming walked to the cafeteria, he casually took Edwi and Kloas who were eating, as well as the three unlucky brothers of Krieg. When passing by a corridor, he also caught Wu Xuan who was charging.

When Wang Ming arrived at the star port, all preparations were ready. The soldiers of the Primarch's Guards and the Mortal Auxiliary Army, with the help of their mortal bodies, hid in the shadows beside the docking port. The traversers stood in the open, ready to respond to any dangerous situations that might arise at any time.

"Master Primarch, we are ready. The moment they enter the starport, the docking port of their spacecraft will automatically lock onto it, preventing them from escaping."

Jose watched Wang Ming arrive at the star port, and hurriedly walked to his side to report the current preparations to him.

"Well, wait a moment. Pay attention to my movements. If anything goes wrong, immediately control everyone."

Wang Ming nodded to Jose and said to him.

"Understood, Master Primarch."

Now everything has been arranged. We just need to wait for the wandering merchant's ship to dock and then we can start the action.

This Rogue Trader may not necessarily be a traitor or a mortal corrupted by Chaos. He may just be an ordinary Rogue Trader, depending on the Warmaster of that period.

If it was Horus who had just become the Warmaster during the Great Crusade, then there would be no problem. After all, Horus of that era was truly loyal beyond words.

But if it was Horus who was preparing to betray the Empire, then there would be a big problem. The "cargo" that Horus could personally order to be transported must be either dangerous weapons or powerful Chaos items.

However, the former would generally not be transported by a Rogue Trader's ship. If it were really the former, it would have been taken away by Horus long ago, ready to join the large-scale "fatherly love and filial piety" scene on Terra.

If it was the latter, then the situation would be complicated. Any Chaos thing that could be transported under the order of Horus himself must be either a great demon or something even more evil.

As Wang Ming was thinking, the merchant ship slowly moored at the docking port.

After the merchant's ship moored at the docking port, after a while, the door of the docking port slowly opened and the three people slowly walked out of the docking port.

The leader was a man in gorgeous clothes. He had obviously undergone reconstructive surgery. His eyes and one arm were replaced by mechanical prostheses. Although he hid the mechanical arm under his gorgeous sleeves, Wang Ming still spotted it at first glance.

Next to the man were two people who looked like servants. The strange thing was that they were wrapped in long robes, with only their faces exposed.

Wang Ming looked at the two people and felt that they seemed not to be human. Among the two, one was obviously a woman, and her face seemed not to be that of a human. Her face was too delicate, and more like an elf than a human. However, her ears were covered by the hood of her robe, so Wang Ming could not determine her species.

The other one was a man, whose body was also wrapped in a robe. His exposed face did not look like a normal human. Even though his face looked very much like a normal human, Wang Ming still noticed some differences. His face was like a handicraft, obviously made of artificial leather.

"Boss, the two guys next to that kid are not normal humans. One is an Eldar, and the other is an enhancementist. They are covered in combat prosthetics."

Just as Wang Ming was looking at the two people, Wu Xuan behind him suddenly whispered to Wang Ming that just now, Wu Xuan used the Combat Iron Man's tactical eyepiece to observe and discovered the true identities of the two people.

"Okay, I see. It's normal for a traveling trader to have a few alien servants."

Wang Ming listened to Wu Xuan's words and replied to him in a low voice.

"Great Primarch, I am Alexandro Keda, the head of the Keda family. It is an honor to meet you."

Alexander Keda and the other two walked up to Wang Ming, knelt down and performed the Sky Eagle Salute to Wang Ming.
