Warhammer, but Emperor's Chosen

But if the Inquisitor wanted to take advantage of the situation, they had no way to stop him.

Grand Inquisitor Sivir often does this, using the issue of tithes to extort money from them.

Heinrich is a student of Grand Inquisitor Sivir. How big of a difference can there be between these two people?

Regina's beautiful eyes flickered as she whispered:

"I think he is here to see Master Noah."

Macharius was surprised:

"Has the Rogue Trader incident happened?"

Regina rolled her eyes at him. If the Inquisitor was here to cause trouble, would he still be drinking here?

She was about to teach her husband a lesson when she heard a commotion.

Looking in the direction of the commotion, Regina saw the Rogue Trader in the crowd, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

The Rogue Merchant was wearing a black suit emblazoned with the Imperial Sky Eagle and the von Valancius family crest, which made his already tall and straight figure look even more majestic. His handsome face also made many noble ladies fall in love with him.

But when they saw the ladies around the wandering trader, they couldn't help but feel jealous.

Whether it was the navigator who was wearing a purple dress that perfectly showed off her slender and tall figure, or the blonde girl who had grown up to be graceful and confident, not showing any shyness in front of the crowd, wearing a gorgeous white dress with a delicate face, or the mechanical priest who was still wearing a red robe and no makeup, they all made their eyes red with jealousy.

It's not just their beautiful looks, but also their close relationship with the Rogue Traders.

In the whole of Dagonus, they are the only ones qualified to serve the Rogue Traders. How many people would beg for such a relationship?

Leaving aside the navigator and the mechanical priest, the girl named Jeanne was born a commoner. She became the governor of a planet just because she was spotted by a wandering merchant. How lucky she is!

It is based on this understanding that countless ladies are trying their best to get close to Noah.

If such an innocent little girl could be favored by a traveling merchant, why can't they do the same?

In terms of experience, they believe they have many times more and can make the wandering merchants have fun.

In terms of youth and beauty, they also have daughters who are no less beautiful than the little girl.

There is always one that is suitable for traveling merchants.

Anyway, as long as you are noticed, you will be blessed with high status!

Noah knew exactly what they were thinking.

But he also welcomed everyone and responded with a smile to every lady and girl who came to say hello.

It’s not that I want to have a one-night stand with them, but I mainly want to see if there are any emperor’s biological daughters among them. What if he missed her?

Heinrich walked towards Noah leisurely and said:

"Sir Noah, you are so welcome."

Noah said modestly:

"If you didn't have this outfit and this logo, maybe you would be more popular than me."

Heinrich looked at the rose knot on his chest and laughed:

"Then I'll continue to be unwelcome."

The normal greetings between the two made the people around them unconsciously take a few steps back. The Inquisitor's reputation was so great that it was hard not to be afraid of him.

Although the benefits of currying favor with the Inquisitor are no less than those of currying favor with the Rogue Trader, the Inquisitor is also known for his unpredictable mood. Currying favor with them is too risky, and if you are not careful, it will bring trouble to the entire family.

So few women would take the initiative to approach Heinrich.

Of course, if Heinrich took a fancy to her, that would be a different story.

Halfway through the celebration banquet, Noah saw the Space Marines walk into the hall.

Even when attending the celebration banquet, they were still wearing power armor, as if they would never take it off in their lives.

The truth is not far from the truth. Except for taking it off briefly when they have to prepare, they wear this armor most of their lives because they must be ready to deal with any possible threats at any time.

And reality often proves that they are right.

"grown ups!"

Noah received an urgent communication from White in his communication bead, "We have received a warning from the Ark Eldar that the Dark Eldar are lying in ambush near Mandeville Point, intending to plunder transport ships in the system.

"Also, we just received an astropathic signal that the Soul Drinker Chapter's fleet has just jumped out of the Mandeville Point in the star system. They are heading towards Dagonus and are likely to encounter the Dark Eldar."

Noah's eyelids twitched. This dark elf really knew how to pick the right time!

Chapter 99 Don't worry, play with him

"White, check with the Soul Drinker to confirm their location."

Noah whispered an order to the communication bead, then switched the channel:

"Sarpedon, the banquet is over. You need to return to the ship and assemble. There are Dark Eldar wandering around the system. Your fleet just jumped out of the Warp. They are in danger now."

Sarpedon heard Noah's voice in the sound array channel. He was originally chatting awkwardly with the noble, but his face suddenly darkened, making the noble who was chatting with him turn pale with fright. He didn't know how he had offended the captain.

But then, everyone saw the Space Marines striding out of the hall, seemingly on important business.

"Excuse me, Heinrich, I have to excuse myself for a moment."

Noah placed the wine glass on the waiter's tray, apologized to Heinrich, and was about to leave.

"What happened?" Heinrich asked with a frown.

He didn't think the Rogue Trader was deliberately giving him the cold shoulder, and with the departure of those Space Marines, he realized that something big must have happened!

Noah was silent for a moment, considering his words:

"The auspicious instruments of the Dagonus patrol fleet have discovered traces of the Dark Eldar. We must prepare for the battle in advance."

When Heinrich heard the word "Dark Eldar", his face suddenly became serious:

"I'll go with you. My ship is on the track."

Finally, he added, fearing that Noah might be worried:

"Don't worry, my ship will obey your command!"

"alright."

Having said that, Noah really had no reason to refuse.

-----------------

The order to assemble was quickly issued to each ship, and Dagonus's defense fleet began to assemble rapidly.

When the Thunderhawk that Noah was riding on flew back to the hangar of the Stars, the Stars had already untied its cables and was waiting for its master's orders.

As Noah sat in his command throne, White also issued orders to the servoskull, projecting a communication in front of him. The picture showed a Space Marine wearing white power armor. The unusual armor paint and the genetic spiral emblem on the shoulder armor revealed his identity as an apothecary.

"Mr. Noah."

The Space Marine's voice sounded a little vicissitudes. "I am Pallas, the Soul Drinker's Apothecary. I will be in command of this fleet for the time being. What do you need us to do?"

"Pallas, from now on you will accept my command. Can your ship still enter the warp?"

"No."

Pallas shook his head. "Neither the navigator nor the ship are in good condition right now."

Noah frowned. In fact, the best option now is to let Pallas return to the subspace and go directly to Ganus. This would be much safer.

But if that doesn't work, there's only one other option.

"There is a gas giant planet outside the territory of Valancius. The coordinates have been sent to you. You can lead your fleet to move there first, use this giant planet to cover your traces, and try to avoid direct confrontation with the Dark Eldar."

It’s not that Noah looked down on them, it’s just that he really didn’t dare to let the Soul Drinker’s fleet fight to the death!

After the tragic victory on the Accuser's home planet, this huge fleet that once consisted of seven strike cruisers and one battle barge now has only two strike cruisers left, and these two ships are fully loaded with the Soul Drinkers' gene-seed stocks!

Even if they were now under Noah's command and had the blessing of infinite shields, they would not be unable to clash with the Dark Eldar fleet, but would Noah dare to let them do so?

Although the void shield can allow them to hold out for a long time, it should be known that the Dark Eldars launch attacks to plunder the population and are extremely good at boarding battles.

If it were normal, the Space Marines would certainly not be afraid of boarding the Dark Eldar. But the problem was that there were only a hundred or so Space Marines on the two strike cruisers, half of whom were new recruits. How could they risk their lives in a boarding battle with the Dark Eldar?

If these two strike cruisers were accidentally destroyed by the Dark Eldar, the Soul Drinkers would have no place to cry without their gene-seeds.

With less than three hundred Space Marines under Sarpedon, how can he rebuild the regiment?

Although Sarpedon could also apply to the Terra government for additional gene-seeds to rebuild the chapter, given the Terra government's shockingly low efficiency, it would be more realistic to expect Terra to provide gene-seeds than to expect the subspace to drop gene-seeds.

So no matter what the cost, these two strike cruisers must be saved.

Noah was now somewhat thankful. If it weren't for the advance warning from the Crudarach Ark World, he would have had to wait until the Soul Drinkers were attacked before he received the intelligence, and by then he would have been unable to rescue them.

But now it's okay, everything can be saved.

Hope everyone is okay!

-----------------

"I hope it's okay."

Captain Legris of the Bloody Fist muttered to himself as he stared out the window at the eye of the storm on the gas giant planet that had lasted for hundreds of years.

It took them a day to reach the gas giant, and to get into its orbit to avoid the Dark Eldar's scans. It would only take two more days for the fleet from Dagonus to find them, and by then the danger would be over.

To ensure that their communications would not be intercepted by the enemy and thus know their location, the two sides did not communicate and only contacted each other when necessary.

If possible, Legris didn't want to shrink back like this.

Fighting is a soldier's destiny, and even death in battle is a symbol of honor.

But to protect the gene-seed stocks on board, and the future of the Chapter, they must endure now.

Hiding yourself is not cowardice, just like holding back your fist in order to punch better!

This kind of waiting was undoubtedly depressing, making everyone on the ship feel depressed.

The crew members were more nervous and fearful, while the Space Marines were full of worry.

If something really happens, they will be the sinners of the regiment!

"grown ups!"

The bird divination chief shouted, "We have detected a Sword-class frigate!"

"Ok?"

Legris frowned slightly, "Where did the frigate come from?"

It will take some time for Dagonus' fleet to arrive here, so where did this frigate come from?

Legris vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.

"identifying!"

Legris ordered.

"Confirmed as Imperial Code!"

"Sir, the other party has sent a communication request."

Legris pondered for a long time and spoke slowly:

"Don't respond!"

Although it’s not strange at all, this ship shouldn’t be here.

What's more, even if this frigate is really a reinforcement, it is the vanguard of the Dagonus fleet.

But a frigate would be of no use, and even if it responded, it would be of no use.

Even if we want to communicate, we have to wait for the main fleet to arrive!

Legris knew that he might be a little too cautious, but when it came to the future of the chapter, he had to be cautious.

boom!

The ship suddenly shook violently, and several servants on the deck did not react and fell to the ground.

The bird divination chief said hurriedly:
