Warhammer, Rogue Trader Notes

Feeling more or less apologetic in his heart, he reluctantly put the corpse's thumb back, and then looked at the left armrest of the captain's throne.

Siegel took a deep breath, took out the prepared blood, and dripped it with his left hand against the groove on the left side of the captain's throne...

Although clichéd, this is a way of preserving family-inherited items. If the blood of a non-family enters this storage space, it will either directly destroy the contents inside or trigger the defense device.

Naturally, this storage method is not [-]% safe, but the design of many things is a compromise solution under various requirements. Siegel watched the blood gradually seep into the groove, and his right hand was already resting on the hilt of his waist.

Some blood safes require the blood components to be exactly the same, and users will drink a glass of a specific brand of alcohol half an hour before opening the safe to increase the complexity of their "password".

From an angle that no one noticed, the ripples in the shadows became more intense.

[I hope that the winery will notify them in time when they change the formula. ] Siegel thought of this joke, and a little smile appeared on his face.

"Click." A data module popped up from the armrest of the captain's throne, but Siegel didn't pick it up.

"Enemy attack!" Siegel shouted directly.

"Shua" he drew his sword backhand with his right hand, and swung it towards the ceiling. The blue disintegration position drew a beautiful arc in the shadow, and the attacker's corpse hit the shriveled corpse heavily, a bullet with The war-masked Eldar head rolled aside.

For a moment, gunshots in the captain's dome, the roar of chainsaws, the sound of intersecting swords, and the roar of battle filled everyone's eardrums.

More than a dozen deep-sea hunters were killed by the Eldar with star pistols and chainsaw blades on the spot, while several of the Eldar who tried to kill Liz were repulsed by Father Mel's advanced lumen shield, and the Mechanicum's huge power ax Standing between her and Liz and the Eldar, a small laser gun appeared under one of the servo skulls floating around her, attacking the Eldar warriors in front of her.

"For the Emperor!" Remulle began to chant the war prayer, and the continuous firing of automatic guns covered the advance of the three deep-sea hunter commanders.

Siegel fought against the spirit race with obviously more gorgeous armor

With the green war mask and the intricate dreadlocks on the back, and the way he attacks from the shadows and his signature scorpion claw (a type of power claw), these guys are the Assault Scorpion...

"Humans, the Prophet does not allow you to take away the items here, it should be sleeping in the sea of ​​stars!" The war scorpion priest in front of him said to Siegel in Low Gothic.

"Then did your prophet say that you would die by my hands?" Siegel's huge force almost knocked down the biting sword in the priest's hand, but when he was going to go further, he was caught by the opponent's scorpion claw. repelled.

"Arrogance!" Only the plasma pistol in Siegel's hand responded to the priest, but the two rapid-fire shots were avoided by the Eldar. Facing the high-speed movement of the Eldar, the plasma pistol was indeed a bit embarrassing.

Neither Siegel nor the priest seemed to be able to solve each other quickly, and the battle between the two fell into a stalemate.

The [-]-member Assault Scorpion team caused great trouble to Siegel's team. Ordinary deep-sea hunters had nothing to do with these extremely fast spirit tribes. People were constantly dying at the hands of the spirit tribes. They leaned against the room The equipment in it is used as a cover, and it can only narrow its defense range as much as possible.

And at the center of their defense, a burst of psionic fluctuations began to occur, and Liz began to show her powerful psionic power.

The Eldar warriors who are particularly sensitive to psychics naturally don't want Liz, a psychic, to play a role. If it weren't for Mel's shield, they would have forcibly killed Liz in the first round of attack.

The consequences of the failed raid soon became apparent, and they had to face the wrath of a psyker.

Liz's Staff of the Starwalker hit the ground heavily, noticing that her assault scorpions involuntarily put on a defensive posture, but Liz's eyes did not fixate on any of them, instead she turned her The psychic energy was projected onto Priest War Scorpion who was fighting Siegel.

The originally deadlocked battle balance began to tilt after the addition of new weights, and the scream of psionic energy stopped the movement of Priest War Scorpion.Siegel began to suppress Priest War Scorpion with continuous attacks, and finally he cut off the Priest's scorpion claw with a beautiful upward thrust, raised the power sword horizontally with his backhand, and stabbed Priest's chest.

Siegel's energy sword penetrated the armor of the War Scorpion Priest, shattered the bone plate on the chest of the Eldar, and penetrated his internal organs. The War Scorpion Priest struggled to use his last strength to use his war mask to aim at West Geer.

Two star marks were launched from the jaw of the Assault Scorpion, aiming at Siegel's fragile eyes.

Siegel turned his head subconsciously, avoiding the path of one of the stars, but the other star was already aimed at his face...

"buzz"

A positional shield appeared in front of Siegel, and the last light in the priest's eyes was extinguished with the shattering of the star.

Siegel pulled out the energy sword from the priest's body, and looked at the other Eldar present...

"For the Emperor! No one will be left alive!"

Volume 23 Siegel Foster: Chapter [-] The Soul Stone

With Siegel's shout, the battle entered a more tragic stage. Under Siegel's encouragement, the deep-sea hunters took out their melee weapons and strangled the remaining Eldar warriors together.

Liz stared at Siegel, who continued to mobilize the energy of the warp to use her psionic abilities.The eagle logo worn by Siegel began to emit a white shimmer, and the singing of the astropathic choir echoed in his ears. The singing praised the great cause of the emperor leading mankind, and inspired the emperor's soldiers to be more determined to slaughter the enemies of mankind.

Siegel locked an Assault Scorpion's chainsword with his power sword. Before the opponent tried to launch the Assault Scorpion's unique hidden weapon, he stretched out his left hand and pinched the opponent's war mask.

Siegel

He tried to crush the opponent's war mask, but his mechanical hand couldn't provide that powerful force. He only destroyed the two iconic hidden weapon compartments under the mask of the Assault Scorpion.He smashed the opponent against the wall, and Remulle's bomb precisely shattered the opponent's head.

Father Mel fought back and forth with the two Assault Scorpion warriors.As a member of the Mechanicum who will be promoted to a sage, Mel uses her endless means to make the Eldar fighters unable to attack, but she also has to cover the psykers in the team.

As the youngest member of the team, Liz can't protect herself well on the complex battlefield, but her spiritual ability is very important to the team.

……

The last Strike Scorpion warrior of the Eldar race was impaled by Goletia's spear, and the battle in the Captain's Vault ended.

Most of the deep-sea hunters who came here with them were killed or injured. Except for those who died in the surprise attack at the beginning, many of them were killed by the hidden weapons on the assault scorpion war mask.Counting the loss of the deep-sea hunters before, Siegel has lost more than half of the company, and this does not include those ordinary armed sailors.

After Siegel went back by himself, he had to regroup his team.Those who were still alive began to bandage the wounded and clean the battlefield.

Siegel returned to the captain's throne, and he pushed the corpse of the Eldar on the throne aside, and the corpse of his great-grandfather had been smashed into disrepair.But Siegel couldn't care less, he reached out and took out the data element hidden in the armrest of the throne.

"This is... the original navigation scripture?" Father Mel's voice came from behind Siegel, "It seems to be a creation of the golden age..."

Mel walked up to Siegel with his power axe, stretched out his hand to take the original navigation code from his hand, held it in front of him for careful observation, and his tone became a lot more certain: "Yes, that's right. An ancient technology The completed navigation codex, the Mechanicum’s exploration fleet will carry similar imitations to record the subspace navigation, and finally, after calculation and integration, it becomes our commonly used star map.”

A miniature servo arm protruded from behind her, cleaning the dust on it, her eyes became brighter and brighter: "Exquisite craftsmanship is superior even among ancient technology products."

She put the original navigation code back into Siegel's hand, and looked at him with piercing eyes, "No wonder you have to come here anyway, where is the star map inside?"

"I don't know, there is no record in the family records, but I guess it is a relatively important star area, maybe the star map of the entire Kronos expansion area is in it." Siegel put the original navigation book next to him, and the family records It's true that it's not mentioned in it, but even the map inside the expansion area is enough to bring considerable value to the Foster family if I have it and you don't.

Every stable subspace channel is a priceless treasure...

Priest Mel nodded knowingly, ignored him, and lowered his head to take his soul stone from the corpse of the dead Eldar.

Whether it is the research value of the soul stone itself or its efficacy in weapon preparation, a soul stone containing the soul of the Eldar is a valuable commodity in cold trade.In fact, most of the buyers of this rare material are official underground agents of the empire.

Weapons made of these materials can arm the Angel of Death of the empire. Siegel knows that there is a shield inlaid with spirit stones in Death Watch, which is very useful in resisting spiritual attacks; gray knights also use soul stones Used to resist demons.

The Rogue Traders and Inquisitors also like the Soul Stone, and can use it to make a deal with the Eldar to gain an alien "ally" or temporary subordinate for themselves: the rangers of the Ark Eldar are happy to give the Soul Stone after their travels. Bring back to their own Arkworld, and the Dark Eldar need these things to make up for their broken souls.

Of course, killing them and then selling the Soulstones to some traveling Eldar ranger is kind of hell, and Siegel would rather trade those for Throne Coins for a small profit.Siegel bent down and took off the biting sword from Priest War Scorpion's hand.

This is a two-handed chainsaw sword. It needs both hands to hold it well and exert its effect. The strength of this war scorpion priest is indeed very strong. Even with the blessing of potions, Siegel just barely Knocked down the two-handed sword in his hand.

If he chooses to carry the normal Assault Scorpion chainsword, it will undoubtedly make Siegel in a more difficult situation, but he has no chance to make up for his mistakes.

Siegel handed the Bite Sword to Skadi who came over. Cleaning the battlefield and taking inventory of the harvest are reserved programs in the Rogue Trader team. Even though they have indeed seen these items on various occasions, the experience of personally capturing them is often is another matter.

Father Mel used the servo arm to collect the severed scorpion claws from Siegel, preparing them for his own research materials.

The star pistol carried by ordinary Assault Scorpion warriors is also a very popular alien weapon, but wearing it to walk around is undoubtedly a challenge to one's social status, but this does not prevent those alien collectors from locking it in Playing in the cabinet.But it's a pity that their price in cold trade is much lower than a soul stone, no matter whether there is an Eldar soul in it or not.

In cold trade, the most expensive items are undoubtedly the aforementioned Halo creations, which come from the mysterious Halo star group, followed by those alien empires that were wiped out by humans during the expedition, for those hive nobles or other For potential buyers, it is better that they can be slightly "degenerate", which will be more attractive.

In addition to soul stones, although there are not many pistols or other light weapons of the Eldar race in the market, there are also many. After all, this race still has a large number of remnants in the galaxy.Even the mysterious troupe of clowns, their creations can be bought in Sintila as long as you look for them with your heart.

Of course, it’s still the same sentence, carrying an alien product openly is a challenge to one’s social status.Of course, this is not a problem for Siegel.

Volume 24 Siegel Foster: Chapter [-] The Crisis

Priest Mel connected herself to the core of the Thinker Array, and after a period of Mechanician prayers and various operations, she told everyone that the lock on the cargo warehouse on the lower deck had been released.

The sailors checked the bridge of the ship again before leaving. Apart from the aging equipment, there were all kinds of shriveled corpses.

They returned to the lower deck and opened the thick adamantine door outside the cargo hold.After opening it, Siegel and the others saw that it was full of small cargo boxes. They walked into the warehouse, and after opening a few boxes, they found that it was filled with components made of red crystals.

"This looks like a kind of unknown data... well, it's interesting..." Father Mel's servo skull was constantly scanning the items in the box, "it's not the technology of humans in ancient times, maybe it's those dark ages The survivors once rose again, but seeing the things here, I think their ending may not be very good."

"All in all, take it away first, I'm very interested in the things inside." Since Father Mel agreed with the value of the items in the cargo hold, it was worth taking away.

Siegel untied the sword from his waist together with the scabbard, and put it on the ground. The effect of the combat medicine in his body began to fade, and the side effects began to appear.

His muscles fell into a state of fatigue, and his mental state was a little sluggish. Siegel cheered up and watched Gloria and the others direct the sailors to complete several loading tasks.

The contents of the cargo hold are constantly decreasing, and a shark assault boat has already returned to the cabin of the "Golden Journey".

"I think we should hurry up." Liz, who had been silent all this time, spoke suddenly, which made everyone turn their eyes to her.

"I have a bad feeling."

When the psyker said that she had a bad premonition, it was best to take her words to heart, and Siegel immediately ordered: "Blow up the cargo hold, and we leave immediately!"

The deep-sea hunter immediately secured the explosives in the cargo hold, and after setting the time, everyone started to move towards the shark assault boat.

When they boarded the Shark Landing Ship, on the way back, Liz received an astropath communication from the "Golden Voyage".

"The Auger Matrix of the Golden Journey detected two Eldar light cruisers appearing in this galaxy." Liz conveyed the unfortunate news to everyone, "It's the Aurora class, and their speed is very fast."

If the Rogue Traders can rely on their "money" ability to win [-]/[-] against most opponents on land, then in naval battles, the ships of the Eldar are undoubtedly the opponents they least want to face.The reason is simple, Rogue Traders and Eldar are "the same type of substitute" in terms of naval warfare.

Compared to the imperial navy that used tonnage, quantity, and thick gold armor to crush their opponents, the Rogue Traders are better at a hit-and-run strategy. The sinking of a cruiser-level ship is an unacceptable problem for the Rogue Traders dynasty. Loss.

More thruster arrays and longer-range artillery, these arrangements are all to gain space for "pull" in naval battles, so that you can slip away directly when the situation is not good.

Unfortunately, the Eldar warships are the same idea, they are more extreme, with faster speed and longer range.

But the Rogue Trader's ships forgo the traditional advantage of the Imperium of Man, the protection of thick adamantine armor.

If Siegel had a fleet, he might still be interested in competing with the other party, but in the current situation, he needs to return to the Golden Journey as soon as possible, play on the fine traditions of the Rogue Traders, and prepare to escape.

Thanks to the cover of the veil of the highest sky on the Golden Journey, the Eldar ships did not capture the position of the Lunar cruiser at the first time. Instead, they accelerated towards the interior of the asteroid belt, and through the observation window of the shark assault boat , Siegel has seen the open flight deck from the Eldar light cruiser!

The carrier-based aircraft of the Eldar race disappeared into space after taking off from the flight deck. This is the unique protection method of the Eldar race. Their ships, carrier-based aircraft, and torpedoes all use a holographic stance to cover their actions.

Siegel was sure they were heading for his shark attack craft, but they were already within the protection of the empty turrets on the Golden Voyage.

Getting rid of the hiding of the veil of the highest sky, the huge cruiser revealed a majestic figure in the sea of ​​stars. The anti-aircraft turret on the back of the ship began to cover Siegel's landing craft, trying to suppress the incoming Eldar ship with aimless strafing Carrier.

Siegel is very sure that the other party is coming for him, damn the Prophet of the Spirit Race, Siegel doesn't know why his family's original navigation code is so feared by the Spirit Race.

The Spirit Race Dark Star fighter also showed its beautiful figure, and the Spirit Race laser weapon on it began to attack the shark assault boat that Siegel was riding on.But the heavy design concept of the empire allowed them to safely reach the cabin of the Golden Journey after withstanding two laser shots.

After Goletia entered the cabin, she directly took over the command of the artillery deck, and the macro guns began to fire at the Eldar battleship rushing towards them.And Siegel began to maneuver the ship to the nearest Mandeville point with a feeling of exhaustion, and tried not to hide the ship's fragile thruster array as much as possible.

He asked Skadi and Laurentina to organize armed sailors to prepare for the next gang battle.

All the equipment of the Eldar battleship is deployed on the bow of their own ship. Being bitten by their tail is no different from courting death. Therefore, if they want to escape from the hands of the Eldar, they have to let the Eldar fight on board the ship, and take over the gang battle of the Eldar. , while protecting the ship's energy and propulsion devices from being damaged by them.

Only in this way, after the Eldar have suffered huge casualties, will they have a chance to escape.

All the people on board who could be mobilized were armed, and even the low-ranking priests under Father Mel took up arms to protect themselves.For the two races, the Spirit Race and the Human Race, their fight today is not even a friction, but it is really related to the lives of the entire ship.

"Siegel, there is an astropathic communication from the other party. They are the spirit race pirate storm trackers. They came here according to the instructions of the prophet. Let us hand over the items we took, and they will let us go."

"Tell him, we will swear to the death to defend everything we have obtained." How could Siegel be willing to hand over his lost and recovered navigation code to others like this?He braced his spirit and continued to control the ship.Siegel is very clear that if he wants to escape from birth, he must rely on miracles, or hope that the backhands he has set up before may work.

The ships of the two sides were spitting their anger at each other. Although the Eldar warships had an advantage in performance, their fragile hulls prevented them from entering the best range of the Golden Journey. A large number of Eldar assault boats flew out of the ship , heading straight for the hull of the Golden Journey.

Several assault boats had successfully entered the cabin, and armed sailors and Eldar warriors had fierce battles.

They are getting farther and farther away from the possibility of escaping...

Siegel took out a new medicine box, ready to make a final desperate fight.

"Emperor, save me!" Siegel muttered silently, this time the Emperor may really need to bless...

"Captain, a cruiser appeared in front!" An officer shouted loudly: "I saw the white coat of arms, and blood drops! It seems to be a strike cruiser, it is an Astartes, we are saved!"

"New Astropath Communications!"

"For the Emperor! For Sanguinius!"

-

The author's words:

Although there is no time to post, let's put a guess here.

Volume 25 Siegel Foster: Chapter [-] The Blood Knight

Unlike the cheers on the bridge, Siegel first felt a rush of blood because he was saved, but after hearing the description of the Astartes Adeptus logo and the battle cry of the Angel of Death, his face is now pale .

Before the operation started, he asked Liz to send a message for help to the subspace, with as much detail as possible, including their current location and their family.

This is just an insurance measure. Even if this battle does not happen, he can still invite visitors to explore this galaxy with him, and even share the harvest here with them, except for navigating the original text.

Whether it's a rogue trader or other forces of the empire, such as the armed pilgrimage state church team, after receiving this news, some people may want to take a look.

In the Cronus expansion area, the activities of the Astartes Order are relatively rare, and these angels of death are more active in the Jericho and Calixis star areas.The few rumors of the Astartes in the Expanse mainly come from those Fleet-based Chapters.

Like the Black Templar or the White Shark.

It's not that he didn't think that it was possible to call the Astartes, but to put it bluntly, this matter was like a lottery, he didn't know who would respond to his request for help.Judging from the current situation, the one he drew is definitely not a good one.
