Warhammer, Rogue Trader Notes

"Wait a little longer, when they can't bear the pressure, let's go down again! Then they will completely collapse, and when the time comes, they will all be brought to the ground..."

"Head! There is a discovery on the auspicious instrument!" The sailor's sharp cry interrupted Hume's conversation, "A fleet has appeared in this galaxy, and they have already arranged their formation and rushed towards us!"

"What's the noise?" Hume didn't like being interrupted when his speech was interrupted, "He's not dead yet, it's nothing to let the spaceship leave the orbit of the planet and fight the enemy in the orbit of a satellite with a planetary ring and a gas giant planet good idea."

"Can you tell what ship it is?"

"This feature should be two moons, and several auxiliary ships composed of frigates."

"Let everyone enter the combat position, what's wrong with Luna, I don't know how many Lunas I have fought in this life, in terms of the size of the ship, Luna is only 500 meters longer than us, fuck him!" Hume's face surged With an abnormal blood red, his emotions became even more excited, and he yelled, "You pigs, hurry up and get into combat positions! It will be a good end for you to hang yourself in the hands of the Imperial Navy." Already!"

"Head, there is a communication coming from the public channel!"

"If you don't accept it, this gang of Imperial Navy will say, 'We are the Emperor's Blade'. It's really laughable."

"Hurry up and enter the combat position, the engine is at its maximum power, and the speed is increased! You pigs, hurry up and move! Adjust the course! The other side is not as fast as us!" The pirate sailors insulted each other and urged each other to act.

"Let this group of imperial idiots eat ashes!"

But breaking out of a planet's gravitational orbit isn't easy.

"Auxiliary Fleet, stop these pirates and don't let them escape!"

Siegel noticed that the enemy fleet on the auspicious instrument gradually began to deviate from the orbit and increase the speed. He asked Armengard's small ships to go forward to try to catch these pirates. They adapt to more complex combat situations, attacking from unexpected positions.

The four frigates raised their bows beautifully, and they came to the obliquely above the plane where the pirate fleet is located. Here, the back of the pirate ship needs to resist the gravity of the planet to adjust the hull in order to attack them with the macro cannon. The elevation angle of the macro cannon on the back of the ship is not enough Launch a counterattack against the frigate.As long as the frigate adjusts its hull, it can unscrupulously pour its firepower towards the enemy.

Although most of the frigate's firepower was absorbed by the void shield, the frigate did prevent the pirates from escaping from the planet's gravitational field. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Golden Journey and the Banshee further narrowed the distance with the pirate fleet.

Volume [-] Siegel Foster: Chapter [-] Gunfire Roars!

"Fleet broadcast, this is the fleet flagship Golden Journey, our main target is on the two Indomitable-class cruisers of the wolf pack, and the escort fleet will clean up the plunderers!"

On the bridge of the Golden Journey, the entire bridge is busy. There are countless subsystems operating inside a battleship, allowing a ship to play its own role.

The strength of the ship requires the dedication of all ship personnel.

Siegel leaned on his captain's throne, with the huge Karoo standing behind him, and the VOX communication machine servant stood beside him. The machine servant was connected to a servo skull, suspended beside Siegel, and the instruments on it Take his voice and convey it.Let him use encrypted communication to command the operations of the entire fleet, not just the Golden Journey.

The servo skull recorded his every word and every order on the parchment, so that he could recall the battle afterwards.

The communications director constantly controls the array of thinkers in front of him to ensure the smooth communication within the fleet.

Laurentina and Skadi are already on standby in the landing cabin, and they command the deep-sea hunters to board the assault boat one by one.The newly recruited flight director Albertson also boarded a shark attack boat's operating compartment.

The number of carrier-based aircraft is too small, and there is no way to cause effective damage to large units such as starships. Albertson, whose hands are extremely itchy, can only make do with the shark assault boat and enjoy the addiction of flying.

He was driving a Fury interceptor, and the other pilots doubted whether this old man who used to drive an F1 could understand rallying.But seeing how he usually scolds this and that, everyone just believes him for once.

Anyway, the shark assault boat is strong enough, so there shouldn't be any problems.

"Fleet broadcast, the first target, the enemy fleet No. 1 indomitable cruiser, focus on him!"

Compared with the busyness on the bridge of the Golden Journey, the command work on the Banshee is much easier. Armengard's ship commander only needs to control the course of the Banshee and follow the Golden Journey closely. Just follow the aiming target sent by the flagship and fire.

"All the main guns are ready, fire!" The ordnance master directed the salvo of the naval guns on the artillery deck.The roar of the naval gun salvo spread along the structure of the ship to the bridge.

"Nice shot, her void shield started to flicker, another round!" The Auger array sent back the effect of the shelling, and the effect of this round of salvo was good. All the projectiles of the Golden Journey hit the enemy's hull. The void shield of the light cruiser was instantly overloaded.

Although light cruisers and cruisers seem to be 500m apart on the long axis, there are essential differences between the two in terms of void shield strength and armor thickness.

Igrain stood beside his mother, watching Offee control his flagship while sipping black tea.

She suddenly felt like an outsider here. Maybe she could hone her martial arts skills and buy good equipment, but controlling a starship was a new topic for Igrain. The command deck looked ordinary, but during the battle, the entire starship was more busy than she had imagined.

Officers, servo skulls, and machine servants, everyone has their own things to do. Siegel's voice is transmitted through VOX, and after decoding, it echoes in the command flagship of the Banshee, which makes my family's sense of honor a little bit small of frustration.

Ofi looked up at Igrein and almost guessed what she was thinking.

"Didn't you advocate the alliance with Siegel?"

"I just... think, mother, you should be able to..." Igrein just suddenly realized the importance of command on the battlefield, and she didn't want to hand it over to Siegel directly.

"Command this battle? Of course I can, but do you know why that woman Aspis chose to find Siegel as her ally against Winterfin instead of Bastille, who was also from the navy like her?"

"why?"

"Because Siegel can indeed fight, he can fight the Winterfin Dynasty's fleet as easily as a father beats his son. Strictly speaking, as long as the Emperor's Oath does not appear, the remaining ships of the Winterfin Dynasty are not enough Geer fought, and the fleet of the Winterfin Dynasty is much larger than the fleet of the Foster family."

"I heard you stopped him in the final battle."

"Stop him? Who told you that?" Offee looked at Igrain strangely.

"Siegel."

"That's not called stopping at all. When I met him, he had already assembled his fleet and was about to leave the expansion area." Offee suddenly remembered something, smiled and cursed: "Oh! The Emperor, I became his escape No wonder that crazy woman made trouble for me during that time."

"That... what is the Foster family's fleet like?" Igrein was a little curious about the Foster family's ships. Ever since she met Siegel, she only knew that the other party's ship was called Gold. The cruiser of the Journey, unlike the Armengardian dynasty, the flagship is accompanied by several small ships.

"There are also three light cruisers and an auxiliary fleet composed of some frigates and transport ships. Except for one dedicated class that follows the golden journey all the year round, most of the fleet is guarding the waterway operated by the Foster family in the expanded area, but As they withdrew, these waterways gradually disappeared into the sea of ​​stars, and only Siegel knew about it."

"Why did he..." Igrein was about to ask Siegel why he chose to withdraw from the expansion area, but the voice of Siegel's command became louder.

"Beautiful, we destroyed the Marauder's light cruiser, and her fragments fell on the planet. Next, warriors, keep up, we will capture the last remaining light cruiser, and ask these Marauders, they are evil Where is my master preparing his terrible plans."

Siegel commanded the two Luna-class cruisers to get as close to each other as possible. After arriving at a position where the assault boat could be launched, he decisively issued an order.

"Launch the landing pod!"

Following Siegel's order, the deep-sea hunters took the assault boat and flew towards the predator's light cruiser in the distance.

"Ma'am! And gentlemen, let's go!" Laurentina led the deep-sea hunter to leave the moon-class hull in Albertson's shark assault boat and plunge into the void.

The anti-aircraft turret on the light cruiser began to operate, and the light shells either exploded around the assault boat to form a barrage, or hit the heavy armor of the assault boat.

The difference between the Rath-type shark assault boat and other forge worlds is that it uses the alloy that is unique in the Mechanicism in the Rath world. Ordinary ammunition fragments can't break through its thick protection.

Albertson, on the other hand, showed his excellent driving skills for the furious pilot, controlling the shark assault boat to make tactical maneuvers, avoiding local anti-aircraft artillery fire.

Other shark assault boats scuttled into the interior of the ship, and after avoiding the anti-aircraft fire, Albertson chose to fly at a low altitude on the armored surface of the light cruiser. His excellent dynamic vision helped him identify his position.After pulling up again, the shark assault boat driven by Albertson crashed into the bridge of the light cruiser.

Volume [-] Siegel Foster: Chapter [-] Gland Warrior

The laser crackers and melta bombs of the Star Shark assault boat destroyed the armor protection around the bridge, and smashed into the command core of the battleship. The powerful destructive force even interrupted the communication system inside the ship, causing the entire ship to All ships are in a state of no command.

The defense force of the bridge immediately organized manpower to defend after the assault boat crashed into the bridge. They surrounded the breach made by the assault boat with weapons, and the thick black smoke blocked their sight.

But soon something flew out of the thick smoke. It was grenade after grenade. Projectiles shot in vain into the smoke.

buzzing.

The roar of the chainsaw rang in the ears of the defenders, and the deep-sea hunters charged in front of their defenders under the cover of smoke.

Among the guard regiments in the empire as many as stars, it is not uncommon for regiments to have a soft spot for melee weapons.But few are as obsessed with large melee weapons as deep-sea hunters, such as big swords, giant axes, and long spears. The sea descendant hunting culture of their home planet makes them particularly obsessed with such weapons.

And these weapons are a little too powerful when they are put into close combat with "humanoid creatures". These well-polished and maintained weapons can easily smash bulletproof armor, and the wounds caused by penetrating flesh and blood can kill the enemy almost instantly.

Every time Laurentina swings the chain saw axe, she can take away a Chaos Predator. The three chain blades on the chain saw axe can twist the human body into minced meat. Every follower of Chaos dies in her hands. It will make her feel happy.

"Come on, more, more!" Laurentina has a special hatred for the followers of Chaos, and every time she fights against Chaos forces, her blood is always surging.

But these Chaos Marauders were not without resistance.Those untrained cultists can only be slaughtered in the face of well-trained soldiers, and the Chaos Marauders are more or less affected by the energy of the warp, allowing them to launch effective counterattacks against the deep-sea hunters.

The line had indeed been advancing towards the interior of the bridge, but as more and more Marauder sailors joined the line, the advance of the Deephunters began to slow.

No matter what kind of ship it is, the space on the upper deck is the most spacious and bright, but now it looks extremely narrow. Among the predator sailors dressed in different styles, Laurentina led the deep sea hunter in dark blue It was difficult.

In addition to the Marauder sailors, there were also those mutants whose brains were burned by the power of the warp.A mutant with an arm turned into an insect claw stabbed a deep-sea hunter in half, and then the deep-sea hunter smashed into the crowd of predators with the mutant in his arms, detonating the offensive grenade on his body.

The sudden impact knocked off Laurentina's hat and calmed her down from the current battle.

After chopping up the predators in front of her, she followed the gap created by the explosion and noticed that the Corrupted had begun to set up heavy weapons in front of the command room door behind the front lines.If the Heavy Weapons team works, then the 50-man team of Deep Sea Hunters will be here.

Laurentina felt that the organs implanted in her body were starting to work. When facing danger, her choices were not much different from Siegel's, they both used medicine to strengthen their physical fitness.

The difference between them is that Siegel still needs injections one by one, while she has become a gland warrior.Her remodeling surgery was performed by Mel, who invested a lot of money to ensure that the operation went smoothly.

In Mel's words, Laurentina is almost a natural gland warrior. If she were a man, she would definitely be a candidate for the Astartes. Her excellent physical fitness will not be overwhelmed by the side effects of the medicine at all.

Therefore, Mel modified the glands implanted by Laurentina to slow down the secretion of the medicine to ensure that Laurentina's spirit would not be affected by the medicine.Aside from being a little crazy during the fight, Laurentina is really in good spirits.

Mel added other organs during the operation to further enhance Laurentina's fighting ability.The high cost of the entire operation, compared with other gland fighters, is probably the difference between luxury goods and consumables.

After feeling that the glands in her body were operating at full power, Laurentina took off the grenade on her waist and threw it out. She didn't even throw it too far, and the explosion occurred 10 meters in front of her.A fragment even scratched her arm, visible to the naked eye, the tiny wound on her arm began to heal gradually.

She pulled out the bolt gun at her waist, pulled the trigger and emptied the magazine directly, and there was a smooth path between Laurentina and the heavy weapon position being set up.

She turned on the switch of the chain saw ax again, and with the roar of the chain saw, Laurentina rushed out of this passage at an extremely fast speed before the Marauder sailors regrouped.

She jumped straight up with both legs, raised the chain saw ax high and stretched her body in the air, showing her excellent body curves and physical fitness to the fullest at this moment.

As a manifestation of beauty, at this moment, the Chaos Marauder officer who was setting up the heavy bomber was even stunned, without any reaction, until the chain saw ax turned him from top to bottom into a puddle of minced meat.

After beheading the two looters with a sweep, Laurentina wiped the blood from her face with their screams, picked up the ammunition box with the heavy bombs on the side, and threw it directly into the command bridge among.

It was thrown along with the last offensive grenade.

Finally she helped the Chaos Marauders close the metal gate with a heavy hand.

"boom!"

The officers who were originally Chaos Marauders wanted to prevent Laurentina from entering, but now the people inside are struggling to get out.

It's like lighting the mosquito coils when mosquitoes enter the room, closing the door and suffocating for a while will be effective. Accompanied by the screams inside, Laurentina picked up the heavy-duty bolter that hadn't been set up yet, and violently opened the other box. The bomb link of the heavy bomber is good.Then he leaned against the metal gate of the bridge with a heavy-duty bolt gun, listening to the screams inside the bridge, feeling the push of the people inside the gate on his back, and constantly pulling the trigger with his slender fingers, facing The conspicuous mutants in the battle line called their names one by one.

Even these fallen people could not withstand this form of devastation, and the Marauder sailors who were still on the outer bridge quickly collapsed, and they scrambled to jump from both sides of the bridge passage, trying to escape this purgatory, But he broke his leg because of the height.

And the method used by the deep-sea hunters to repay these people is also simple and rude. With an incendiary grenade, apart from the screams in the entire bridge, there is also the smell of burnt protein.

The hunters of the deep sea cleared the remaining enemies and began to build a defense line to resist the Chaos marauders who came from other places.

After hearing that there was no movement inside the command bridge, Laurentina opened the metal gate, and the corpses of two dead Chaos Marauders fell down as the gate opened.The deep-sea hunters shot to the head one by one.

After the thick smoke inside had dissipated a little, the deep-sea hunters walked in and began to clean up the command room.

Volume [-] Siegel Foster: Chapter [-] Interrogation

The deep-sea hunters entered the command bridge of the second light cruiser. They began to clean up the interior space of the command bridge in an orderly manner, and identified the specific conditions of each "corpse" lying on the ground, dead or pretending to be dead A shot was needed, and those who were still howling on the ground were tied with cable ties and dragged aside to simply stop the bleeding.

They do need news from the Faceless Lord, but in this universe, if they want to get news from a person, whether that person is dead or alive is actually not that important.

The living captives don't waste the psyker's precious energy, but they may lie; and the psyker's reading the heresy of the dead body is quite painful for them, and may bring hidden dangers to them in the future.

The cleaning work in the command bridge was done by the deep-sea hunters. Laurentina was not doing anything. She was soothing her nerves and muscles, trying to get rid of the side effects of the medicine as soon as possible.

She watched as a half-dead marauder officer was dragged aside, and the deep-sea hunters guarding them picked out the most dead of the wounded and threw them to the other side from time to time.

The position set up by the deep sea hunters outside the command bridge has just repelled a counterattack by the marauders.

Laurentina felt that the side effects of the medicine in her body had been relieved, she turned and left the command deck, ordered ten members of the Deep Sea Hunters to move towards the lower deck, and cleaned up the predators in the light cruiser one by one.

-

The battle between the starships in space also came to an end very quickly. After the gang jumping operation started, the light cruiser's macro cannon fired only two rounds again, and there was no sound at all.

Under such circumstances, the remaining ships of the Chaos Marauders were simply not enough to resist the fleet composed of two Lunar cruisers, and those scattered Marauders began to withdraw from the battlefield, trying to escape the galaxy.

If these small ships wanted to escape with all their heart, their fleet really had nothing to do, and the frigates began to disperse to expel these small ships.

But freed from the gravitational pull of the gas giants, these small marauders began to show their speed advantage.They stepped in and fled in all directions without looking back, and the frigates would follow behind these marauders until they had escaped from the system once and for all.

The wreckage of the first cruiser torn apart by the macro gun hit the frozen surface of the Wilder 3-8 satellite. The wreckage was clearly visible on the white ice cap, and several cracks were revealed as the wreckage fell.

Although the battle of armed sailors is still going on, judging from the news sent back from the communicator, the general situation is set.

"Huh..." Siegel breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't commanded the fleet for a long time, and he was a little rusty. However, seeing that most of the fleet's ships were in good condition, Siegel felt that the result was acceptable.

"Beautiful conductor." Gloria walked up to Siegel and praised him.

"An enemy not worth mentioning, what's the matter?" Siegel was modest. The Golden Journey performed very well in this battle. In the past, when Siegel fought alone, the gravity of the Golden Journey Long cannons can only cruise and scrape slowly outside the range of the opponent's macro cannon, while in the case of the Grand Fleet, Siegel can pull in enough distance to tilt the wrath of Rath World at the Enemy of the Emperor.

"There are indeed some things. Laurentina found about [-] slaves and thousands of captives in the light cruiser. I ask you what you plan to do."

"Is there any captive who can tell the whereabouts of Karadvar?"

"There are several officers, and Laurentina has already begun to interrogate them."

"There is no need to keep the marauders with the mark of chaos. For those who still have the mark of chaos, remove the front lobe of their brains and sell them to the colonies below. There will never be enough people in the mine."

"What happened to the slaves captured by the looters?" Siegel then asked Gloria about the slaves.

"According to Laurentina, apart from a lot of labor and a subsistence diet, there are no major problems. I don't know what kind of medicine they sell in their gourds, which is so 'good' for the plundered slaves."
