Warhammer 40: My Fiancée Fulgrim

Seeing the bizarre alien ship in the holographic projection with its black wings spread like a bat, Vokhan gave the order to attack without the slightest hesitation.

Vokhan has always harbored a deep-seated aversion to these pointy-eared aliens.

When he landed on Nocturne, the planet was already suffering from attacks by these pointy-eared aliens.

The people in his settlement were already used to these occasional natural disasters and had to devise various ways to escape the aliens' pursuit in order to survive.

When Vokhan was about three years old, those damned pointy-eared aliens attacked their settlement again, forcing the residents to flee.

But three-year-old Wokan showed no fear.

With an ordinary blacksmith's hammer, he single-handedly charged into the Dark Eldar's slave-hunting team, personally smashing hundreds of Eldar warriors to pieces. The remaining aliens were so frightened that they fled in panic and never dared to attack again.

From then on, Vokan was celebrated as a hero by the Nocturne aliens, and members of other tribes flocked to join him.

He thus became the ruler of Nocturne, until the arrival of a stranger—but that's another story.

The current location of Vorkan is merely a mining planet that produces rare minerals, which is being passed by an expeditionary fleet when they receive news that the planet is being invaded by Eldar aliens.

He was angry.

Wokan has not a shred of pity for these beasts that frequently invade human settlements and torture their fellow human beings with the most severe and cruel methods.

The massive beam weapon of light slammed into the fragile shield of the alien flagship.

Perhaps their speed alone would allow these slippery alien warships to escape Volcan's pursuit.

But no matter how fast you are, can you be faster than the Light Spear?

Even though the alien warship was doing its best to dodge this fierce attack, it was to no avail.

It still stirred up ripples heavily on the alien's dark blue shield.

"Continue tracking and bombing, and send out fighter groups to flank and outflank."

"We will make these aliens who dare to provoke humanity pay a bloody price."

"Damn it, friendly fire!"

Kasgar, regarded as an "alien who dares to provoke humanity," wanted to stick his head out right now and yell at Vokhan to stop.

Unfortunately, I can't shout it out.

How long can our shield last?

"Not long. You overloaded this ship's shield system once before, and it won't last much longer without energy replenishment."

"But—don't panic, I can handle it!"

Irele's words were filled with confidence and excitement.

How to break through the heavy firepower of humans?

interesting.

Of all the naval battles Iriel has fought, this is still the most challenging and spectacular one she has ever encountered!

I, the pirate princess Iriel, accept this challenge!

The ship dodged the opponent's next flaming spear shot at an almost impossible angle.

"Don't panic! I can still operate it!"

The flagship of the Salamander.

Volkan straightened the Thunder Hammer in his hand, staring intently at the holographic projection in the flagship command center.

Perhaps these Eldar warship operators do possess some skill, enabling them to withstand their intense firepower.

However, the maneuvering to dodge enemy fire also slowed the warships' advance, and they were about to be surrounded by their other escort ships and combat barges.

"My lord, the garrison from the surface has sent us a new message."

"It seems we've made a mistake. These people aren't actually aliens, but rather a fleet of merchant ronin who helped us defeat the aliens and rescue all the captured humans."

"Oh? Cease shelling."

Rogue trader?

Vokan's puzzled gaze fell on the massive Eldar flagship in the center, and the alien fleet escorting it.

Is this a wandering merchant?

What about people?

Where is he/she? I'm asking you.

"That's not fair!!!"

The spacecraft's speed was significantly slowed down as it maneuvered to evade enemy fire in space.

Even though the shield was indeed preserved thanks to Ireil's manipulation, they had nowhere to escape from being surrounded by the Volkan ship.

Irele was very dissatisfied with this.

It was extremely despicable. If she hadn't had to dodge the artillery fire and thus been surrounded by these small ships, she would have left that clumsy human flagship far behind.

Among the Eldar of the Ark, a legend will soon circulate about her successfully outmaneuvering a full-scale human fleet.

Unfortunately, they couldn't shake them off.

"I can't handle it now."

Irele sighed: "Let your winged sister-in-law handle it."

In this situation, it is estimated that only Saint Gilles could resolve it.

But once Sanguis came forward and admitted that he was hanging out with the aliens...

That's not a problem that's easy to solve.

"Wait a minute."

"The fire salamanders' shelling seems to have stopped; it seems they are just surrounding them without attacking."

[Communication request from Lord of Fire Dragons, Volkan]

After the airdropped civilians rendezvoused with the surface troops, the troops from the planet's surface were the first to agree with the account of the rescued salamander company commander and transmitted the series of events and related data to [the relevant authorities/organizations].

"Honorable merchant-ronin, Mr. Sherlock, please allow me to express my sincerest apologies and gratitude to you, as the Salamander."

Although this traveling merchant's ship was rather unusual.

But they remained heroes who were able to defeat the alien enemies that preyed on humans and rescue a large number of captured civilians and salamander fighting brothers from their clutches.

After learning the whole story, Wokan was filled with gratitude towards him.

Using alien ships is such a trivial matter; compared to his heroic fight to stand up for the people, it is utterly insignificant!

As a wandering merchant whose trade scope covers the entire empire, especially since the trade certificate is personally issued by the emperor and bears his own handwriting and blood.

As for why the ship is in the style of the aliens, it's because this warship was captured from the aliens during a previous battle.

The battle was so fierce that both sides suffered heavy losses, and Mr. Sherlock's ship, belonging to a traveling merchant, was also rendered unusable.

Therefore, he had to take action to use the captured aliens to return these survivors to their homes.

reasonable.

"These traveling merchants and wandering ronin just like alien gadgets."

"Wokan said to himself."

"It seems that this whole thing was a misunderstanding from the beginning."

"Then, sir, what should we do?"

"I'll go myself."

"I want to personally go and greet this hero who sacrificed everything for our soldiers and people and ultimately had to use the alien spaceship."

"Even under a misunderstanding, they insisted on releasing our people. And—didn't you notice that during the contact just now, they didn't launch a single counterattack against our ships?"

Actually, it was Casca who didn't dare.

If he dares to use his Xenomorph allies to attack the Primarch's expeditionary fleet, even the Emperor might not be able to protect him.

"Their actions have earned my respect."

Although he had never heard of any merchant dynasty named Sherlock, the man's actions were enough to earn him a personal welcome from the Primarch himself.

With that, Wokan, his gaze slightly approving, hoisted the heavy hammer onto his back and headed toward the tarmac.

"What! Volkan is coming to personally escort me to the Salamander's flagship?"

broken.

It’s broken, it’s broken, it’s broken!

Wokan would recognize him!

Even if they can't recognize it, how are they going to explain this whole boatload of bean sprouts to Vokane?

The Emperor did allow traveling merchants to interact with other races in the universe within certain limits.

But this level of alien concentration

Kasgar looked at the faint light emanating from the Salamander flagship outside the screen and smiled with relief.

Haha!

This is terrible!

The Salamander airship successfully landed on the deck of the Dark Eldar in Casca.

The hatch, painted with flame patterns in deep green, bright red, and orange-yellow, opened, and Vokan peered into the interior of this alien warship, which he had never set foot in before.

He had indeed previously joined some Eldar warships, and as the Primarch, he had also conducted research on the Eldar, a race of aliens who had once established powerful empires in the universe.

As the sworn enemy of the Dark Eldar, Volkan has boarded countless Dark Eldar warships.

As a captured Eldar warship, this place is a bit too clean.

It was so clean that there wasn't even a single alien.

There wasn't even a person there.

The expected welcome from the wandering merchants, filled with gratitude and appreciation, did not arrive as anticipated.

Inside this empty flagship, there was nothing but the even emptier, completely cleaned-out ship walls.

"Mr. Sherlock?"

Wokan was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

"Ahem. Hello, Lord Wokan."

A tone modified by the sound array system came to his ears, emanating from the central holographic projection in the landing hall.

Even the projections are blurred images with extra processing.

"I'm sorry that for some reason I can't officially greet you, please understand."

"What does it mean?"

The Salamander Terminator guards following behind Vokhan were extremely angry at Casgar's disrespect.

Did your ships become so damaged that they were completely abandoned, forcing you to replace them with alien warships, while all your servants and humans disappeared?

As the Primarch himself was welcoming the human hero, the traveling merchant should have treated him with the highest level of courtesy.

Who knew this guy would be so arrogant and self-important that he wouldn't even come out to greet the Primarch himself!

Really

Ambitious!

"I need an explanation, Sherlock the Merchant Ronin."

Vokhan was a kind-hearted man, but he was never the kind of person who would let anyone bully him.

This extreme disrespect for the Primarch left him feeling not only dissatisfied but also confused.

The fact that this traveling merchant was willing to step forward and sacrifice everything to save the fire lizard and other human captives shows that he was not an arrogant or cold-hearted person.

However, he still chose to refuse to meet with Vokhan himself.

Does this traveling merchant really not like my Vokhan?
