Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 52 49. News from the Virgin World

Stroud looked at the angry and helpless roars of the fleeing Word Bearers, and now he had to face the huge alien fleet alone.

After being left behind for another minute or so and crushing the heads of two crew members, Stroud slowly realized that such helpless roars had no effect.Just when he was forcing himself to calm down, another piece of bad news completely shattered his calmness.

"My lord! There's something wrong with the engines! We have no way of sailing and warp jumping!"

Storude's face turned red when he heard the news, because this news meant that they could only be beaten alive like targets.

"Bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard!!"

Stroud roared angrily, but no matter how much he yelled, it was of no use now.After seeing that the opponent had completely lost his fighting ability, Tassada said

"Prepare to send out gang-hopping troops, and I will personally lead them."

"Ah, teacher, is this appropriate? Chaos battleships are extremely dangerous. Are you sure you want to risk your life?"

Artanis next to him heard this and said worriedly, but Tassada had his own reasons for participating in this gang-hopping battle.

"I must go, because among them, I have the richest experience fighting Chaos. Artanis, please come with me. By the way, you can familiarize yourself with how to face these terrible enemies in the future."

The huge battleship passed through the death tomb made of ceramic steel. The Chaos Fleet that originally had nearly ten ships now only has one heavy cruiser riddled with holes, floating alone in the void.When the distance reached more than 100 kilometers, the protoss' mothership began to fight among gangs.

Artanis looked at the behemoth that looked like a dead giant outside the airdrop pod. Its length of 9000 meters could even be compared with the flagship of the Soul Fleet, but now, it was about to become a complete trophy.

Due to the cut off of the battleship's structure and energy system, the short-range defense system of this battleship was completely paralyzed, and the landing module successfully arrived at this blasphemous battleship without any hindrance.

When Artanis stepped off the landing module, he smelled an unspeakable rotten smell, and the source of this terrible smell could be found immediately.It turned out that the place where they landed was in the lower deck area, and the environment here was 100 times worse than the bottom hive of the imperial hive!
The crumbling wooden houses were covered with traces of desecration and blood, and moldy bones and rotten flesh could be seen everywhere on the streets. The ghost-like residents screamed and stepped aside when they saw these shining warriors. .Artanis really has no way to combine these creatures with the humans in his impression. Even the humans in the Empire live more like humans than these guys.Only then did he understand how terrifying the corruption of Chaos is.

"Teacher, these civilians..."

Tassada looked at the panicked annoying people and sighed, saying sadly

"Many of them can no longer be called human beings. Their bodies have been horribly polluted in the subspace. Most of the people here will eventually be euthanized. But you have to understand, Artanis, if you If you lead an army in the future, don't have any mercy when you encounter civilians corrupted by Chaos, otherwise, you will only kill more people."

"...Then we should start now? Teacher."

Tassada glanced at the humans who were huddled in their shacks, their skin peeling off, and they even had one or two extra eyes.
"No need for the moment, we have to go to the upper deck, where we have more important tasks to complete. Everyone, follow me! Kill the Chaos leader of this battleship!"

Dozens of zealots followed their leader through the stained passages, searching for an elevator to ascend.Stroud, who saw this moment on the bridge, nervously ordered:
"Close the elevator immediately!! Don't let them come down, and ask the sailors to block them for me!"

When everyone took the elevator up for less than a minute and then stopped, Tassada waited for a while and said

"The enemy has cut off the source of the elevator, we have to go up."

Artanis nodded after hearing this, then lit up his light blade and drew a large circle above his head, so that the warriors could continue to move forward.

Tassadar used his psychic powers to overturn an elevator door and found himself in a place that looked like an arena, or a slave labor camp.He saw a large number of iron cages surrounding the circular Colosseum, and he could clearly feel that there were almost all living things inside each iron cage.

"Everyone be on alert, let's go take a look."

Artanis followed him slowly to the iron cages, and was frightened again when he saw the things inside.

It turned out that there were all kinds of slaves inside, most of them human beings. He could tell from the clothes of these people that they were basically merchant sailors and naval officers, but there were also some people who looked like city residents or even nobles. .After seeing him, some of these people showed expressions of fear, some showed expressions of numbness, and some reached out their hands in despair to them for help.

However, Tassada did not open the cage because he knew that he had no way to save so many people now and could only wait until the follow-up troops came up to find a way.So he used his psychic power to temporarily calm these people down, no matter whether they were tired or not, they would slowly fall into a deep sleep.

But there are always one or two surprises in everything.

"Help... help..."

Just when Tassada was about to leave, a slight call suddenly came from a cage in the distance. He slowly walked over and was startled when he saw it.Because there is a Tau man locked in this cage, and there are two humans who have fallen asleep next to him. The most eye-catching thing is that they are wearing orange clothes.

"Atanis, help!"

After hearing what the teacher said, the young consul immediately reached out and cut off the door of the iron cage, rushed in, and after checking it, said
"They are all still alive, but they are severely malnourished and dehydrated."

Tassadar took down a packet of pure water from his body and handed it to the Tau man. When he saw it, he almost grabbed it and drank it in one gulp.Tassada waited for him to finish drinking and take a few breaths before asking.
"Who are you? Which fleet? Why are you here?"

The person in front of me regained some strength after drinking a bag of water and gasped.

"Reporting to the commander, Paul Long, Liaison Officer II of the Dn 72 Merchant Fleet Kutanna Dawn, and my two companions, Seaman [-]st Class Joes and Sailor Petty Officer Nolan North. Our merchant ship is under attack The Chaos Fleet’s attack was destroyed.”

"When? Where?"

"Half a month ago, in Lilasus, the virgin world of the Eldar. Our merchant ship was entrusted by the local government of Viodes World, hoping that we could go there to pick up a batch of purchased plant samples for the botanical garden in Homeworld.

We shouldn't have gone there... We were traveling with a small frigate more than 600 meters long. When we were loading and ready to leave, the Chaos Fleet came without any warning. They had at least more than 60 warships, and There's something bigger than a cruiser, I don't know what to call it.

The local Eldar defense fleet launched a fierce battle with them, but still could not succeed.Their world was reduced to a sea of ​​fire, and our fleet was destroyed. My companions and I escaped into a rescue capsule, and were then salvaged by the battleship and turned into slaves. "

After hearing his words, Tassada felt alarm bells ringing in her heart, and quickly continued to ask

"Then what is the purpose of the Chaos Fleet there?"

The weak Shui clan took a breath and continued.
"I don't know, but when I got on the ship, I heard the Eldar from those commercial bases saying that the Chaos Fleet was here to grab a shield. God knows why they had to spend so much effort to grab a shield? As for the rest, I really I don’t know...but there seem to be a few living wild elves plundered from that planet here, you can ask them."

Tassada did not go looking for those barbarian lords, he said calmly
"I would rather ask the Chaos leader above me."
