Warhammer, but Emperor's Chosen

Nono explained considerately.

As a Grand Magus of the Mechanicum, it makes sense that she has several Castellan Combat Troopers as guards, right?

"How many guards like this do you have?" Noah asked carefully.

"There is only one brigade." Nuonuo smiled faintly.

An intelligent control brigade. Compared with the identity background setting of the "great sage" he arranged for Nono, this is very reasonable... probably.

Chapter 8 The Miss is Good at Giving Away at Lightning Speed

The corridor leading from the star station port to the living area was silent.

Although the auspicious scan showed that all functions of the star station were operating normally and the surveillance cameras in the corridor were still flashing red lights, there was no one here.

There were neither living people nor dead bodies.

When they reached the arched junction between three wide corridors, they finally heard other sounds belonging to the star station besides the noise of the running machines.

In the corridor on the right, a girl in an elegant blue robe was running towards them in a panic.

Even from a distance, Noah could clearly see her inhuman features.

Her skin was paler than her silver hair, her limbs were unusually slender, and her deformed hands had claw-like nails. Her eyes seemed to be shrouded in a bloody mist, and blood kept flowing out of her eyes, which made her pale face more red.

"Save, save me..."

The girl walked towards them with difficulty, holding on to the wall of the corridor. When she passed Noah, she stumbled and was about to fall. Noah hurriedly reached out to support her, allowing the seemingly very weak girl to lean on his arms.

"Hmm~"

The girl's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her thorny cheeks hidden under her messy hair twitched nervously.

Sister Ajetta saw the girl's expression clearly and couldn't help but frown slightly. This was completely different from what she remembered.

Before Noah could ask, a group of armed soldiers emerged from the corner of the corridor where the girl came from.

"kill……"

When he saw the girl falling in Noah's arms, the tall man in the lead was about to shout, but when he saw the combat nuns in black power armor and the four-meter-tall intelligent robot soldiers around Noah, he immediately calmed down.

The tall man searched Noah's appearance in his mind and confirmed that there was no such person in the family. His face immediately darkened:

"Sir, I don't care who you are, but as long as you hand over the traitor in your hand to me, I can let you go without questioning your rude offense of trespassing into the Navigation Clan Star Station. The Emperor is my witness!"

"No, please don't."

The girl's face was pale, and she asked Noah for help in an almost pleading tone, "I am Cassia Othello, and Ferek is the traitor. Please don't trust him!"

Cassia's pale face made it hard to tell whether she was frightened or not, but the beautiful girl's pitiful appearance was still lovable, making people around her unable to resist the urge to protect her.

"Constrain your spiritual power!" Ajetta frowned and immediately pointed the gun at Cassia.

"I'm sorry, I, I can't fully control my power yet..."

Cassia trembled, pursed her lips and lowered her head.

Seeing this scene, Felec's face twisted in disgust:

"I am the Guardian of the Star Station, Ferek Othello, and the people around me are the guards of the Star Station. As you can see, because of her uncontrolled psychic power, half of my guards killed each other because they suspected each other of being rebels!

"Now, do you believe the monster who is trying to control you with his psionics, or do you believe me?"

Felec's two dark eyes stared at Noah's every move without blinking, and his third eye was beating violently behind the drooping eyelid in the middle of his forehead.

If these people refuse his mercy, he doesn't mind letting them experience all the horrors of the Soul Sea. Felec believes that even a battle sister wearing power armor can never withstand the surging waves of the warp!

"I need a navigator."

Facing Felec's vaguely threatening words, Noah spoke slowly.

"no problem!"

Ferek said without hesitation, "Just hand her over to me, and you will gain the friendship of the Othello family, and I can give you the best navigator!"

"That's not necessary."

Noah smiled and said, "Because I think this lady is excellent."

Felec's face darkened, and he angrily gave orders to his men:

"Fire!"

His guards pulled the trigger at Noah and his men without hesitation, and the combat nuns immediately fired back.

While shouting angrily, Felec wanted to open his third eye and drown them with the waves of the sea of ​​soul.

But just as his eyelids began to twitch, his eyes suddenly became dull, the movement of opening his eyes stopped abruptly, and he fell straight to the ground.

Cassia quietly withdrew her gaze and leaned weakly in Noah's arms.

Suddenly, gunshots rang out in the corridor.

Although the guards reacted quickly, every laser they fired was completely offset by the invisible barrier surrounding Noah.

On the contrary, every attack designed by the Battle Sisters accurately hit the soldiers at the other end of the corridor. The explosive shells were powerful enough to penetrate light armor and easily tear their upper bodies into a bloody mist.

Dabai did not open fire because there was too much firepower and it was somewhat not worth it to use a cannon to kill a mosquito.

But even if there were only the battle sisters, within just a few breaths, accompanied by short and dull bursts of gunfire from the grenade launchers, there was no living person to be seen in the corridor opposite.

Noah pressed the girl's shoulders, cold but polite:

"Ms. Cassia, I think you need to explain something to me."

"I, I...I'm sorry..."

Cassia was a little flustered by his cold reaction. She waved her hands in the air in confusion and explained in a panic:

"I-I am Cassia Othello, the holy child of the Othello family. Ferek started a rebellion and tried to kill me."

Noah asked in a very ruthless manner:

"Then how did you survive?"

"It's Theobald. He has been protecting me..."

Cassia sobbed softly, Noah's suspicion almost broke her heart.

She didn't understand why Noah, instead of comforting her, acted so cold. The plot of a hero saving a beauty in novels was definitely not like this!

click!

Ajetta frowned and raised the gun that she had just put down again, aiming it at the empty corridor where noisy footsteps were heard.

Soon, an old man led several guards into their sight.

The old man's eyes passed over the broken corpses on the ground and fell on Cassia, with a gleam of hope in his milky white eyes:

"Holy Son! May the Emperor bless you, and may you be safe!"

"Theobald, this gentleman saved me."

Cassia pursed her lips, she was still a little depressed.

Theobald breathed a sigh of relief and asked as he looked at Noah:

"You don't look like a pirate who ran into the star station to rob. What should I call you?"

Noah didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point:

"I am Noah von Valancius, ruler of the von Valancius dynasty, and a Rogue Trader with an Imperial Trade Letter. My fleet encountered an accident while traveling through the warp, and the navigator of the flagship was unfortunately killed, so I came to the Othello family's star station, hoping to find a navigator."

"Navigator..."

Theobald's gaze subconsciously fell on Cassia.

Theobald was silent for a long time, then he spoke slowly:

"As you can see, a rebellion just broke out in the station, and many people died in it. The Holy Son and I are the only navigators left in the station, but..."

Theobald coughed dryly, and a streak of blue blood ran down the old man's chin.

Theobald roughly wiped away the mutated blood with his sleeve and said bitterly:

"I am running out of time. I am afraid I cannot take on the important task of being a navigator."

Noah pointed at Cassia and asked:

"Isn't she still here?"

"no!"

Theobald flatly refused, and the guards around him quietly tightened their laser guns.

Cassia spoke quickly:

"I'll go with you, please don't embarrass Theobald!"

There was a hint of pleading in the girl's eyes, both pleading with Noah and Theobald.

Could you please stop hindering me?

With her memories of the future, she could have stopped the rebellion, but she didn't.

Because she knew that if there was no rebellion, when the Rogue Traders arrived, she, as the Holy Child, would have no chance to leave with them. That was why she let it go, and even secretly guided Felec to rebel.

Although many people would die, Cassia didn't care. She just wanted to be with her loved one.

But Cassia still secretly made some changes. She thought she would play the role of a hero saving a beauty, but unexpectedly, she backfired and made Noah's attitude towards her unusually cold.

She was feeling very complicated. In short, she was very regretful. She regretted that her impulsiveness had ruined her first meeting with the Rogue Trader.

But no matter what, as long as we can get away with the Rogue Merchant, it will be a victory!

"Ok."

Theobald weighed the difference in strength between the two sides and felt that his guards were indeed slightly inferior to the battle sisters, so he finally gave in:

"You can take the Son away, but I hope you can do me a favor."

"What help?" Noah asked.

"The Holy Child can temporarily navigate your fleet, but I hope you can bring her completely to the Regent of Alento. He is the acting leader of the Othello family in the Colonus expansion. Please believe me, your efforts will be properly rewarded. As long as you bring the Holy Child safely to the Regent, he will not hesitate to arrange a good navigator for you."

"No problem, I'll take her to see the Regent."

Theobald stared at Noah until the latter made a promise and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there was an element of threat, he had no better solution now.

Felek's rebellion had already caused the family to suffer heavy losses. Although the remaining guards under his command were elite, they would not stand much chance of winning if they really fought against the Sisters of Battle. If they tried to stop Noah from taking the Son away, he had no doubt that Noah would directly order them to be shot - after all, most wandering merchants didn't mind playing the role of pirates occasionally.

By then, not only would the Holy Son be snatched away, but even the Star Station would not survive. If that really happened, the family would probably never know what happened here, and the Holy Son would never be found.

Being able to reach a deal like this would be the best outcome.

As long as they survived, they could tell the family about the rebellion at the station and the whereabouts of the Son. It wouldn't take long, and once the family discovered that the station had lost contact, they would send someone to investigate within a few weeks.

By then, even if the wandering merchants are unwilling to return the Holy Son, the family can bring the fleet to ask for him.

Of course, Theobald was not afraid that the Rogue Trader would go back on his word.

Because he didn't think any Rogue Trader could refuse the Navigator family's request, because bringing the Son of God to the Regent would not cause the Rogue Trader any loss, but would gain the friendship of the Othello family.

The reward for this deal was extremely generous, and these greedy wandering traders had no reason to refuse.

Chapter 9 Target, Macragge!

Starship, captain's room.

The silver-haired girl walked briskly into the captain's room and called the Rogue Trader's name softly:

"Noah, I..."
