Warhammer, Rogue Trader Notes

Even from the moment Siegel broke into the gate of Flax Fortress to Savan's Bishop's Palace, the rebels did not build any fixed fortifications. Unfortunately, when Siegel discovered this situation, it was too late.

The rebel guard quickly prepared an armored force composed of Leman Russ mixed with a large number of militias, intending to drive Siegel's armed forces out of Vraks Fortress.

In this case, the terrain of Fort Flax was fair to both parties.

However, the trained hive guards are familiar with such things as street fighting. Although the rebels have been stationed on Vraks for many years, after a short period of adaptation, the Sintila guards are more adaptable to this terrain than the Vraks rebels.

Flying low above the buildings within the fortress, the Valkyrie used the multiple lasers on its nose and the rocket pods on its wings to deliver effective strikes against rebel infantry units and light armor.

When seeing the frontline battle report, Siegel regretted why he didn't bring some more violent Valkyrie modifications, such as the bald type or the feud type.

Taking advantage of the terrain, houses and its own excellent maneuverability, the Drus main battle tank often used angles that the rebel Leman Russ could not expect to slam the side armor of the rebel tank.

After all, the Drus tank is thinner than Leman Russ.

The high maneuverability of the Drews type can be transferred to various battlefields in the fortress. As long as the battle lasts for a while, it will form a situation where the rebels fight more and less, which makes the armor of the rebels miserable.

Especially those Leman Russes with side turrets.The side turret is almost useless in the collision of armor forces. Instead, it gave the opponent a weak point for nothing. The long-caliber main gun of Drews can easily penetrate the armor of the side turret, and the ammunition explosion caused by it can easily Turn Leman Russ into Ferrus.

Especially those Leman Russ with side turrets equipped with Heavy Flame, Heavy Fusion, and Plasma Cannon are particularly popular.

With the advantages of training, tactics, air power, etc., the Foster Dynasty was once in a strong offensive situation after entering the Fortress of Flax.

In order to rectify morale and fulfill the promise, an execution for "heretics" began on the square of St. Leonis Church.

A large number of "heretics" were dragged onto the square by Savann's disciples. Under the strange chants that had changed their taste, a large number of heretics were covered with black cloth, and then poured dirty promethium. Amid the cheers of believers , these "heretics" were ignited.

The heretic who was burned at the stake struggled painfully in the square. Immediately afterwards, the head nun was tied to a stake and pushed out.

Her nun's power armor was put back on her body, and a metal mask was welded to her face.This is how Savan and the psykers cover up what terrible things they have done to the Sister.

The executioners held up the "witch's spear", which was a weapon used by the state religion to fight heresy. It was a one-and-a-half-meter long spear made of cold iron or fine gold. A stress relief container made from a blend of psychoactive compounds.

When the spear successfully penetrates the victim's body, this mixture expels explosively from within the spear, engulfing the victim entirely in the Emperor's holy fire.

This witch's spear has been modified, and the original holy oil and anti-psychotic compounds have been replaced with poisons and psychotropic drugs.

This drug will erode the spirit and soul of the victim, not only the pain of the body, but also the trembling of the soul. This kind of torture is unbearable, and the victim will eventually succumb to this pain, but the corpse emperor cannot Save the victim.

Only the love of a loving father will do!

Mamun and Savan stood on the high platform, the executioner continuously showed the witch's spear to the onlookers, and the disciples of Savan silently arranged the sacrificial ceremony.

This is the high X part of the ritual, even if the renegade half-psykers can't send astrograms into the warp to call more worshipers to Vraks.

But if this sacrifice can get a loving father's gaze, even a blessing, everything they do is worth it.

The executioner was still displaying his weapons, and the surrounding believers were already impatient, and they shouted loudly.

"Kill her! Kill her!"

Finally, the executioner no longer kept his secrets. He held up the witch's spear, pointed it at the big nun, and threw the spear in his hand viciously.

The spear nailed the big nun to the stake, and her vocal cords could no longer make any sound.But everyone sensed her pain and shaking from the nerve reflex action.

The pressure vessel released its contents into the Grand Sister, and a yellow-green smoke appeared from her wound!

The ceremony is almost complete!

第7天的7点7分，7000个信徒，777个门徒，77个祭品。

The surrounding disciples have already sung the quietly changing hymn to the seventh bar of the seventh paragraph.

Is there anything more pleasurable than watching a nun's soul fall into the hands of a loving father!

Ma Meng looked excitedly from the podium, his originally calm face began to twist, and he clenched his fists, as if he heard the scream of the great nun's soul!

He watched the flames start to appear on the big nun's wound, the flames grew bigger and bigger, the golden flames gushed out from the big nun's body continuously, and the burning became more intense, and the burning became more intense, and the spear made of cold iron was also burned The flame turned into molten iron.

The golden flame was more than ten meters high, and finally the nun was reduced to ashes under the eyes of everyone...

The surrounding believers cheered, they knelt on the ground and worshiped Savan, allowing them to see such a miracle.

Savan and the others accepted the worship for no apparent reason.

Ma Meng sat on the chair with a livid face, and the nun did not give in until she died...

Recalling the golden flame, Ma Meng suddenly became a little scared...

Then, just as Savan was about to give a speech on the citywide radio.

In the Rogue Trader area on the other side of the city, there was a burst of cannon fire!

Due to the complex environment of the city, it is difficult for the petrified lizard to exert its strength in the urban area, and the power of the siege cannon is somewhat excessive.As a result, wyverns and heavy mortars were favored by both sides.

Constantly pouring artillery fire towards the areas occupied by each other.

The observers of the Foster family quickly noticed the golden flames on the square, and after verification, they confirmed what the rebels were doing!

revenge!

Everyone is left with such thoughts!

Volume II Flax: Chapter 1 Straws! ([-])

On the grounds of Fort Flax, tanks and battalions of infantry passed between the buildings of the fort, fighting each other for the faith.

And the underground in Vraks is also not peaceful.In the material warehouse like a beehive, a battle for various materials is also going on here, and both sides are doing their best to enrich the combat effectiveness of their troops with underground materials.

Siegel knew that he had to transfer as much material as possible from the Vraks underground material warehouse before he lost his advantage and went all out to defend.

There are a large number of material warehouses underground in the area controlled by the Rogue Trader's troops. Ba Ba and the technical priests are counting the warehouse materials that are already in the bowl.

Those large warehouses that looked important had been inspected a week after entering Vraks, and Siegel found a large number of weapons and equipment from inside.It is next to the exit of Flax Fortress, and the warehouse materials here are updated very frequently.

Leman Russ exuding the smell of holy oil, vehicle-mounted, towed, and platform-style artillery were densely packed in the warehouse.Countless Sentinels, Chimeras, and Cerberus, laser guns and automatic guns counting in warehouses, and an amazing ammunition reserve.

A large number of weapons and equipment were unsealed from the underground warehouse and filled into the city's defense lines. Workers are intensively turning the area controlled by the dynasty into a militarized fortress.The interior of the fort is not suitable for large-scale deployment of armored forces. Various weapon platforms and field artillery have been favored by both sides, and artillery battles between field artillery units are carried out every day.

Barbed wire, landmines, and roadblocks were deployed in the uncontrolled areas of both sides without money, and the Aegis blast-proof wall and various sandbags consisted of battlefield fortifications layered on top of each other to cover soldiers and important armored forces.

Tarantula sentry guns and various fire support weapons were deployed behind bunkers and among buildings on the front line.

Platform-type wyvern mortars and heavy mortars were deployed behind the defense line to provide curved fire for the front line.The Hydra artillery group formed a tight air defense network, and the main function of these things was to defend against the Manticore missile launchers of the rebels.

The layout of the rebels is similar to that of Siegel.Behind the frontline battle area, both sides of the battle are speeding up their defense line construction non-stop.The rebels wanted to ensure that they had a stable rear for their next attack, while the Rogue Traders wanted to ensure that they could persist for a longer period of time.

In order to reduce the defensive pressure of the second-line troops on the star port and the viaduct, the other two viaducts connecting the star port were blown up by the rogue traders with starships.

The firepower of the four cruisers smashed the orbital defense facilities around the fort over and over again, and the golden light spears plowed out narrow and long ravines on the surface of the planet.

They don't want the Rebels to have a god-handed blow to a cargo ship in orbit.

While the line of defense was being built, the transfer of materials was also non-stop. Engineering vehicles sent a large amount of military materials out of Fort Flax every day.

Armored units such as the Leman Russ are over-abundant on the battlefield inside Vrakshold, but these Imperial vehicles are also a lucrative commodity.

A large number of armored units and various heavy artillery were transferred to the star port, where the workers worked overtime to load these military supplies onto the cargo ship.

On the first day of the transfer work, the value of the ammunition transferred from Vraks to the cargo ship was comparable to the amount that Siegel intercepted in the previous year!

Whether it is the main members of the dynasty, or the soldiers and sailors at the grassroots level, watching the large amount of goods transported away every day, they all feel a joy from the heart.

Only a month later, one of Sol's convoys left Vraks.He told Siegel that he had asked for more transport fleets to come to Vraks. In order to save these imperial properties left in the hands of heretics, the Saul Dynasty will do its best!

With the passage of time, in the area controlled by Siegel, the inventories of large and medium-sized warehouses have been counted, and now there are still those marginal, hidden, and closed warehouses that have not been counted.This kind of warehouse usually stores items that were forgotten in Vraks, and what is inside is similar to opening a blind box.

Anything from common military cloth to the equipment of the Auxiliary of the Sun during the Great Crusade is possible.

Those troops who have been rotated after the battle on the front line, when they are resting, their favorite task is to take over the task of counting the warehouse from Ba Ba and the members of the Mechanicus. The task reward is that the soldiers can take what they want from the warehouse. s things.

This behavior was done with Siegel's permission.

He wasn't brute enough to take up all of a soldier's personal space for loading.So as long as the soldiers' personal belongings cabinets can fit, they can take any loot. If they find the warehouses where Leman Russ and other important ordnance are stored, they can also get corresponding rewards from the headquarters.

This kind of task is assigned to an infantry company at a time, and the platoons in the company are scattered to count the supplies in the warehouse under their feet.

Due to the restrictions of the Ministry of War and the lack of personal space of the Guards on the ships of the Imperial Navy, Guards are usually only allowed to carry a very small number of personal items beyond the standard equipment.This also means that most of the personal needs of soldiers and professional equipment for various tasks need to be provided by the Ministry of Military Affairs.

So you can find anything in Vraks' warehouse.

For soldiers, the most popular item is the laser pistol, a weapon that is usually only equipped by officers, but now every soldier has the opportunity to get it.Bolt pistols and plasma pistols are also popular, but few are capable of wielding them, though there are certainly daring soldiers who like to push their limits.

Professional equipment used to perform different tasks has also become a range of options as collectibles, chameleon cloaks, different styles of guard uniforms, various scopes, combat headsets and respirators.

Combat blades of various sizes are also a tempting trophy.The cultural differences in each world lead to different styles of combat knives that they hand over as tithes.It can fully meet the needs of those soldiers who are collectors.

The same goes for power swords. Those soldiers from Sintila have a heartfelt love for shiny blades.

Lajo sticks, various food cans, and various military rations are also hard currency. These things will basically not be taken away, but will be settled by the soldiers on the spot.

But the existence of these supplies has substantially improved the living conditions of soldiers on the battlefield.

It is true that some lucky people found the warehouse where the amosaic was stored, but the tense situation made the officers at all levels strictly prohibit the circulation of the amosaic. The war was tense, and the ration of the amosaic was replaced by sugar, Reca coffee and energy bars by the headquarters. .

On the contrary, no one likes the chainsaw sword. It is too big and heavy to use.

Of course, this alone is not enough to reflect the greed of the rogues. Siegel set his sights on the warehouse at the foot of the rebels very early on.

A straw slipped silently into the Rebel's cauldron.

Volume II Flax: Chapter 2 Straws ([-])

Underneath Vraks, outside a huge underground warehouse.

An Imperial CAT car (Note 1) slowly moved to the front of the warehouse. The skull detector on it was constantly scanning the surrounding dark environment, and the signal generator behind it continuously fed back the scanned data to the remote on the technician's data pad.

A group of men in black bent over and slowly lurked outside the warehouse gate, and the technical priest in a black burqa pierced the MIU data cable on his body into the interface of the warehouse gate.

Chanting the chant of the Mechanicum softly.

The door of the warehouse was opened bit by bit.

It wasn't until they entered the warehouse that the people in black turned on the lighting equipment to check the items stored in the warehouse.

Since a certain military officer burned the material storage data on Vraks, everyone on Vraks did not know how much stuff was stored in the arsenal.

Except for those transshipment warehouses with frequent material flows, no one knows the materials in the remaining strategic reserve warehouses, and even the locations of some warehouses have been lost.

Even if the rebels control all the workers working on Vraks, these workers may never go to the material storage warehouses buried deep under Vraks, let alone remember the warehouses. location and what is stored in it.

When there is not enough data to support it, searching for valuable items in Vraks's huge underground warehouse is an adventure of harvesting the unknown.

On the one hand, we must be careful of the enemy's attack from the dark, on the other hand, the exploration results are sometimes unsatisfactory.

For example, warehouses full of Macado tanks and piles of Agrippina automatic guns.

But this exploration has paid off well.

There are a large number of combat motorcycles stored in this warehouse. The leading non-commissioned officer wiped the leather seat of the motorcycle with combat gloves, and it was covered with a thick layer of dust.

The value of this kind of combat motorcycle can only be said to be okay, and the stock in Vraks is not too large, but this thing is very popular among soldiers, and few soldiers will refuse the temptation of a motorcycle.

Not even the elite assault squad.

"Contact the Straw Squad and ask them to remove these things!"

After speaking, the soldiers carrying enhanced communicators sent the message.

The rogue traders' exploration of Vraks' underground warehouse was divided into two parts. These people started their underground adventure on the third day after the battle of the city gate.

First of all, there are several "treasure hunting teams" composed of assault teams, deep-sea hunters, and mechanical priests, in a group of about 50 people. They disperse and sneak into Vraks underground warehouses, and specifically pick those deep underground and remote warehouses.

These warehouse rebels have not yet noticed that the contents may be good or bad.

And once you find the supplies worth taking away, then it's the turn of the "straw brigade" to play.The Straw Brigade stayed within Siegel's sphere of influence while the treasure hunting team was exploring, and when the treasure hunting team gave them feedback on the location of the warehouse with sufficient value.

It's time for the engineering sentinels driven by a large number of workers and the "straw brigade" composed of Ogryns called by Karoo to start their own operations.

On the other side of the underground warehouse, Nix, who was in command of the straw brigade, received a report from his subordinates.

They're transporting plasma solutions from a warehouse.

"Hey, hey, hey! Take it easy! This thing blows up and everyone present can't run away!" Nix is ​​the youngest son of General Kellerman, and he is quite clever. Siegel asked him to command the straw brigade and transfer the enemy's control area supplies.

"what's up?"

"The A-3 Treasure Hunt Team has marked a location for us to move."

"Either I have nothing to do all day, or I'm too busy to die. Is this group of people reliable?" Nix greeted the technical priest, "Father, what color is the route of the A-3 team?"

"Red." The guidance and screening of the route is in the charge of the members of the Mechanic Church, and their mechanical eyes can recognize the special marks exclusive to the Mechanic Cult.

Using this method, Nix can direct the team to the location marked by the treasure hunting team.
