Warhammer, Rogue Trader Notes

The energy of the warp is so powerful, if this double-edged sword cannot be well controlled, it will undoubtedly cause great damage to the human empire. The empire has been trying to find a safe way to find and deal with these psykers , Get rid of these people under the premise that everything is controllable.

Witch hunters are engaged in this profession. It is not easy to become a member of this profession. She needs a strong willpower to resist the pollution of subspace energy and the psionic attacks of psykers.She therefore requires self-discipline and iron will, as well as intense training, honing skills that enable a warrior to be both mind and body.

Within the Empire, a witch hunter's hunt might end with a stake and a charred corpse.In the expanded area, their existence is more "flexible", and they will try to capture those spiritual powers alive

Or sell it to the "Black Ship Alliance" or sell it to a darker buyer.

But Skadi became a witch hunter on the one hand because she subdued a psyker when she was in Agor, and on the other hand, Siegel really lacked the means to fight against these hackers.

Like Siegel, Skadi injects various combat potions in battle, but her potions are strictly limited in dosage to avoid causing mental fluctuations.She is relying on continuous practice of her own spirit to get to where she is today.

-

Liz, on the other hand, felt something more definite from the fluctuation of spiritual energy, "They are trying to erase..."

Before Liz could finish speaking, a shock wave emanated from the center of the platform, knocking everything around to the ground. The trees and shrubs around the building were roughly broken, and some soldiers who were not standing still were knocked to the ground...

Volume III Fear Pearl: Chapter [-] Cooperate and Fight

Siegel held the plasma in one hand and the shotgun in the other and aimed at his sides, aiming at the rogue traders around him, including Igrein of course.

The same is true for the surrounding Rogue Traders. They point their weapons at their colleagues around them to prevent anyone from taking this opportunity to attack the members of the dynasty.

The Rogue Traders present all broke free from their illusions at the moment of the impact, not only because of their firm willpower, but more importantly, they had experienced this moment before.

Yes, those who fell into a daze were exactly the same as they had been in the Chamber of the Seven Witches before.All those present, whether members of the dynasty or ordinary soldiers, saw the prophecy of the Dread Pearl.

They drifted through the cold night, across black vistas swept by strands of celestial force, perhaps a thread of the fabric that held the universe together.

As the threads weave into each other like the latitude and longitude of reality, their eyes follow that etheric chain and converge on a star lost in the black void.The stars are so bright they are blinding.On the surface of the boiling star, a dark shadow passed from above, and then, this dark spherical shadow was infinitely magnified.After that, a verdant world beloved by all came into view.

A rune streaked across the planet, so beautiful that to look at it was to fear it would shatter.It really shattered, scattered across the surface of the planet, slowly tearing through the planet's sky, and that was such a beautiful scene.

Those soldiers and dynasty members who had broken free from the prophesied visions began to drag the immersed soldiers into the bushes behind them to save these men from attack by other dynasties.

Liz also fell into a daze at that moment.But other dynasties and their leaders had experienced these psykers, and they noticed what was going on above the platform.

Hadalakfell's female adjutant whispered a few words to him in his ear. She was wearing a carapace, and her lower body was a skirt woven with the emblem of purity.

Considering that she dared to wear such a dress in such a jungle, she was most likely a psyker.

Igrein's navigator said a few words to her. In fact, with the increase of psionic energy fluctuations, even a person like Siegel without psionic talent felt that something was wrong.

Soldiers and dynasty members woke up one after another. When they looked at the temple again, the temple trembled again, and the platform shone with light.

There are now ghostly forms of six Eldar psykers on the platform.

Now it's true, everyone realizes that something is wrong.

Those who can make a name for themselves in the expanded area have more or less dealt with the Eldar, especially the Eldar pirates, who often interfere and influence the expedition plans of the Rogue Traders for no reason.

"Everyone," Igrein was the first to speak. She carried her silver-white rail rifle and counted loudly: "Irene told me that the Eldar are manipulating their terrifying witchcraft , trying to induce warp energy to send this temple into the warp, we must stop the eldar rituals, otherwise all the secrets on quapa-12 will be covered up, and we will never have the opportunity to reach the fear pearl."

"That's right," Hadalak added: "The more the Eldar are like this, the more it shows the value of the fear pearl. We must stop their ritual."

"For this reason, I propose that no matter what happened to us in this forest, we should temporarily put it aside. You all recognize who our opponent is, and we must go all out, otherwise everyone's investment will be wasted."

……

"agree."

"agree."

"agree."

The Rogue Merchant Dynasty present all agreed to cooperate, but now there is a more important issue in front of everyone.

"Who will command this battle?"

Ms. Charbella raised the question, the shitty question.

This command is a difficult issue, but the current situation has no time to hesitate and shirk. If the Eldar ceremony is not organized as soon as possible, everyone will get nothing but this planet full of bugs.

"Let me come." Igrain took the initiative to stop the responsibility, she untied the rapier from her waist, and then took a long sword of the Eldar from the sage of Verona.

It was Ofe's sword, and now it was handed over to her, the leader of the Armengard dynasty. Igrain took it out at this time to make a statement.

Serving as a battle command is not only about taking over the command of the battle, but also means taking the main offensive responsibility.

And they all knew that the targets to attack this time were the six psykers of the Spirit Race, the psykers of the Spirit Race, just this name was enough to make people feel pressured.

"We must come up with a feasible plan," Mrs. Sun Li said first. "It is not sensible to directly attack six psykers."

When they seized the time to discuss.

"Liz, do you have any ideas?" Siegel turned his head and asked his transcendent astropath, "How to stop the ritual of the Eldar."

Liz closed her eyes and felt the fluctuations of the surrounding psionic energy, and said to Siegel: "It's not without chance, they are mobilizing energy to perform the ceremony, I don't deny the talent and talent of the Spirit Race in this area, but the truth of psionic energy theory It is interlinked. The structure of this ritual requires at least two psykers to maintain, which means that we only need to repel four Eldar or cause enough trouble for five of them to force them to escape from the ritual. The ceremony continues."

"This is really 'good' news." If Liz's statement is correct, the "offensive pressure" of many Rogue Traders has been reduced to some extent.

And in the "combat planning meeting", Hadalak also got a similar answer from his psyker assistant: "Everyone, Ms. Ash told me that it is very simple to stop this ceremony, as long as the spirit that maintains the ceremony If the able person is reduced to one person, the ceremony will be canceled."

"I understand, I will issue orders according to this idea." Igrain accepted Hadalak's opinion, "Now, please all dynasties move closer to Armengard."

"According to our covenant, the next battle will be under my command." Igrein looked into Siegel's eyes and said this sentence, "Do you have any other opinions?"

"No."

【Liz, if I plan to destroy the planetary defense device of the Eldar, can I do it here? 】

After reading Siegel's inner words, Liz looked at the shattered light in the sky, felt the source of these energy disturbances, and then had a soft conversation with the sage Mel beside him.

[You can try it, just smash the creations of the four spires. This should be a steady flow device for the disturbance of the spirit race. Mel and I think that the defense position can be reduced to the level of airborne and teleportation in normal orbits. 】

"For the next battle, the Armengard dynasty will be the main attack." Igrein looked at Siegel and said, "Siegel and Ms. Sun Li, I hope your dynasty can cooperate with my offensive."

Looking into Igrein's eyes, Siegel agreed: "As you wish, ma'am."

Sun Li also nodded in agreement.

"Greet and Feckward trouble you to take charge of the first 'testing' and the cover work during the main attack. The remaining dynasty assists me in putting pressure on the remaining psykers according to the plan, forcing them to leave their ritual positions. "

The so-called "exploration" and cover, to put it bluntly, are the line fillers and cannon fodder in the battle. Although they are very reluctant, the two men who are most suitable for this job are indeed their two subordinates.

"clear."

"Everyone, it's not too late, hurry up and act!"

-

The attack of the Rogue Traders and their troops begins, and in order to organize the Eldar ritual, the Rogue Traders and their troops must climb the high platform of the Eldar Prophet's Temple.

The Prophet's Temple is now covered with green vines, and it is not difficult to climb up, but other forces are beginning to prevent them from posing a threat to the Eldar ritual.

During the climb up the vine-covered wall, several laser beams emerged from the forest and hit the climbers.

Two of the fastest Kroots fell from the vine, spitting blood, and four human soldiers shared the same fate.

"It's the Eldar ranger! Suppress them!" The members on the ground immediately realized who was attacking them, and set up positions with the help of the big tree knocked down by the spiritual impact, while throwing anti-plant grenades in the direction of the laser source.

A large number of trees began to wither and rot under the action of the anti-plant grenade poison, but the small anti-plant grenades could not clear the wide enough space quickly enough to threaten the Eldar rangers.

Soon the Rogue Traders established an improvised position consisting of three mortars.The Locke Mortar has a fast-firing 6-round drum, which can deliver a large amount of ammunition in a short amount of time compared to the comparable Voss or Mars.

With the rapid fire of mortars, large areas of trees in the forest began to fall.The auspicious devices and various detection devices were running frantically trying to find the Eldar rangers hiding in the forest. Heavy weapons such as heavy logging guns and multi-barrel lasers were set up, and they began to shoot in the direction indicated by the scouts.

"Laurentina, you come to command the battle and suppress those rangers!" Siegel has not yet climbed the wall, he is directing the fighters on the ground to establish a stable defensive position, and put Albertson and Jean Barr with low combat effectiveness The personnel were dragged to a relatively safe place.

Due to Laurentina's weakness to psychic power, she can just be responsible for suppressing and dispersing the spirit rangers on the ground.

"Understood." Laurentina took over the task, "You have to be careful."

-

Athelon and his ranger squad moved quickly between the collapsing forests. Considering the range of the ranger's long rifle, the rogue trader could stop the ranger's sneak attack as long as he cleared a large enough space.

Even a ranger will feel powerless at too long a distance.

Leaping over a fallen tree trunk, he turned and pulled the trigger twice towards the position of the Rogue Trader's camp.

Two Rogue Traders soldiers were killed, but he noticed that the monkeys were arranging something under the cover of the other party.

His intuition told him that something was wrong, but when he raised his gun to shoot again, the suppressive firepower of the monkey followed, and he had to keep moving with the other rangers.

Until he found a shooting window again, in the scope, a monkey dressed strangely was giving him a thumbs up.

The laser of the ranger's long rifle was blocked by another tall monkey with a shield.

He looked at the monkey and smiled at him. At first, Atheron thought it was the other side's mortar, but after the sound of the cannon, there was no sound of shells passing through the sky.

In the next moment, the pathfinder reflexively fell sideways and rolled over.

Immediately afterwards, there was an explosion in his previous position.

As he struggled to get up from the ground, two fellow rangers dragged him away and hid behind another tree that hadn't yet rotted and melted.

The explosion came from the ground. A shell drilled through the thick soil and came to where he was before. The explosion was very violent. Fortunately, he was not injured.

This is why he is not optimistic about the completion of the Siriolas ceremony. It is not surprising that the Rogue Trader's team can take out any kind of things.Their teams are all veterans or elites from those monkeys. Although they are still monkeys, their masters will try their best to arm them.

On the side of the Rogue Merchant's position, the artillery crew that just fired the ground-penetrating cannonball were talking to each other.

"How?" They came from Jeremiah Blitz's team. Jeremiah's five-member team was equally elite. This crazy gambler had a lot of good things in his hands. Like most rogue traders, they wore It is the most sophisticated carapace, holding a variety of weapons and equipment in its hands.Like the magic tube they just fiddled with that goes into the ground.

"Mole" mortar, this mortar looks like any other Imperial mortar, but its application scenario looks even more strange.

It is completely different from other mortars. Its shells do not draw an arc from the sky, but drill into the ground. A special ground-penetrating shell can penetrate the ground and quickly reach the enemy's feet. The enemy launched a sneak attack.

This kind of mortar can only fire that specific high-explosive ground-penetrating projectile, and the rest of the normal mortar projectiles cannot be used.

"I don't know, he reacted, and he probably avoided it." The member who was aiming at said, "The reaction of the Spirit Race is very fast."

"Of course, it's the Spirit Race after all." The member who operated the artillery began to disassemble the mortar. Valuable field space.

"Unfortunately, I thought I could put an Eldar on my kill mark." Their mortar barrels were painted with kill marks from different races, and it could be seen that these two people really Is a good hand at this thing.

"But brother, thank you." The members of the Blitzcrank dynasty thanked the huge Ogryn holding up their shields in front of them.But Karu didn't pay attention to them. After watching the two men tidy up, Karu also started to climb along the vines to the high platform of the Spirit Race Temple with hands and feet.

And Siegel and other armed personnel who attacked the Spirit Race temple had already boarded the platform of the Spirit Race building, and they also saw what the Spirit Race wizards were doing.

Volume III Fear Pearl: Chapter [-] War Witch

Siegel and the others climbed onto the platform of the Eldar Temple, which was about 30 meters high. When the Rogue Traders touched the edge of the platform and climbed onto the platform, they finally saw clearly that these Eldar war witches were What did you do.

Siegel and the other Rogue Traders stood on the edge of the platform, and they saw that there was a vast space on the top platform of the temple, and the floor of the spirit bone structure was carved with arcane marks and runes.

Standing in the center of the platform were six human figures, each wearing flowing robes and an elegant but distinctly non-human helmet.

They recognized the Eldar psykers, and the Rogue Traders who knew the Eldar better recognized them as the war witches.

The war witches seemed to be trapped in the amber, and raised their hands to pray, attracting energy to gather here. They were surrounded by a whirlpool of witch fire, which seemed to be connected to the runes carved on the surface of the platform.

Siegel saw the figures of the Eldars begin to fade, their forms became transparent, and even the structure of the temple under his feet began to loom in reality along with the figures of the Eldars.

"Siegel, the Eldar ceremony is about to be completed! We must act as soon as possible." Liz's words sounded from the bottom of her heart.

In fact, when the buildings under their feet began to flicker strangely, everyone realized that the Eldar would not have much time before the ceremony was completed.

Everyone started raising their guns to attack the psykers in the middle of the ceremony, but the energy weapon attacks seemed to be assimilated, while the explosive and live ammunition were dissolved by the flames.

Karin, Igrein's navigator, clutches her third eye in pain.

"The flames are filled with psychic vortexes. My third eye is temporarily blinded. Any direct psychic attacks will have no effect."

"These witchfires make the subspace power extremely active, and the subspace anomalies caused by the release of psionic spells will be more serious, and it will take considerable risks to guide too much psionic energy." Liz and Ms. Ash were trying to guide After a bit of spiritual power, he stopped his ritual again.

Igrain took the rail gun and shot at the Eldar in the center of the platform, and the rail bomb also melted under the protection of the spiritual flame.

"That is to say, we need to use close combat to solve this problem." Gerrit drew out his own powered dual knives, this dueling maniac couldn't wait to try the strength of the Eldar in front of him.

"Don't be careless, this is a war witch of the Spirit Race." Siegel stopped Gerrit who was about to rush up directly, "They used to be warriors of the Spirit Race, but they only became wizards later, and this environment is a spirit race. Arranged by the family, they must have the means to release spells."

Siegel originally planned to let Feckward's slave hunting team go up to try the situation, but Gerrit was so anxious that he sent his hired gunmen up.

"Rush up! Kill these aliens!"

The hired gunmen rushed up wearing ordinary bulletproof armor and combat knives. The four war witches directly canceled the ceremony and met the attacking team of the Rogue Traders.

After the four war witches withdrew from the ceremony, their flame defenses were lifted. This was good news for the Rogue Traders. At least they had more chances to try to kill these spirit race war witches.

However, the warlocks of the Eldar soon taught the young humans a lesson.

The martial arts of the Spirit Race have an unusual sense of rhythm. Even if a large number of hired gunmen rush forward, the Spirit Race can still dance in the crowd. The light of the knife and the flickering psychic charge accompany the footsteps of the war witch. More than a dozen hired gunmen They were killed in an instant, and other hired gunmen who tried to attack the war witch who was still in the ceremony were burned to death by the hot witch fire.
