Warhammer 40: The Wandering Merchant

Chapter 77 Fighting at First Sight

Therefore, the commander directly summoned all the Astartes of the Black Sanctuary in this new district to march here.

Try to retrieve that suspected relic before it gets found by others.

But looking at it now...

That guy named Tie Hui is probably their target.

We must test whether Tie Hui is truly the Emperor's chosen one.

When I get to that guy, I'll have to verify it myself. If it's not him, I'll just shoot him dead!

As for the collaborations Cage signed with this guy...

Humph……

If he were truly a living saint chosen by the emperor, they would kowtow and worship without hesitation.

Carlson could even atone with his death, but if not, then an unregistered psionicist must be eliminated, and all these collaborations would be worthless.

If this person actually has something useful to them, they'll interrogate him until he spills it all, and then the Black Temple will take control of him.

After receiving the information and finalizing his plan, Carlson immediately directed the fleet to dock in near-Earth orbit.

Then he personally led a group of Black Templar Astartes directly into the ground in a drop pod.

Tie Hui, who was renegotiating various supplies and territorial divisions with the pastors of the Mechanic Church and the State Church, looked up at the sky in a daze.

He was unwilling to stay in the Nest City environment, even at the top of the tower.

It wasn't as good as the farmland, mountains, and land outside, so after much deliberation, they moved their office to a resort estate built by a nobleman in a mountain valley.

For something else!

Just for convenience.

This also greatly facilitated the group of Black Templar brutes; otherwise, they would have had to search the hive city thoroughly.

The simply decorated but elegant manor was smashed to pieces by the air raid of these brutes.

Tie Hui stood on the second floor, his eyes twitching. He had finally found a place he liked, only to have it smashed to pieces by these bastards.

Behind him were the original survivors and the wanderers who had escaped from the Warp.

They all fled in terror, hiding in various places around the room.

In their minds, once Astartes executes this airdrop method, it will be like a sword drawn from its sheath, inevitably drawing blood.

They also did some illegal things. Although they didn't join forces with Chaos and the Xenomorphs, they still had something to hide.

Bang!

Carlson, carrying his power sword, kicked open the door that Ironfel had locked in the room.

Then, speaking in a commanding tone, he said condescendingly, "Iron Radiance Ovasecto. According to the Empire's data, you should have died, but you have unexpectedly been resurrected and become an unregistered psionicist. I strongly suspect that you have made some kind of secret deal with Chaos. Now, please come with us for the Empire's investigation."

Whoosh—

At the same time, more Astartes rushed into the room with slug guns, pinning all the panicked people to the spot and pointing their guns at their heads.

Tie Hui looked at Carlson calmly, but his gaze fell on Cage behind him.

Seeing Cage's somewhat guilty look, he knew what was going on.

Tie Hui was very unhappy; this was his territory.

We need to teach these arrogant guys a lesson.

Lift your foot!

In fact, it was just one action that made the group of Astartes on guard inside the room instantly cock their guns and aim at Tie Hui.

After all, they were already aware of this guy's terrifying combat power before this operation.

Seeing this, Tie Hui scoffed disdainfully, intending to give them face, and leaned against the balcony railing, saying, "So, you're here to arrest me?"

Carlson sneered: "That's your subjective opinion."

Tie Hui turned to look at the group of Astartes around him and said, "Just you lot?"

Carlson lowered his power sword, looked at his comrades around him, and said, "The number of us is enough."

Tie Hui sneered, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Well, you guys really have guts."

He walked forward with his hands on his hips, kicking a chair that had been displaced by their rush into the room back into its original position.

He then sat down with a relaxed air, leaned back arrogantly, and put his feet up on the table.

With his hands crossed over his lower abdomen, head tilted slightly, and a look of disdain and arrogance on his face, he stared at Carlson standing in the doorway opposite him: "I don't doubt whether you can catch me, I just doubt whether you can even get out the door!"

Upon hearing this, the representatives of various forces who were pinned to the ground were instantly horrified.

They never imagined that a mortal, especially a temporary governor of a planet, would dare to speak so arrogantly to an angel of the Astartes Empire, and from the Black Temple at that.

And their attitude was so arrogant; they've really seen something new today.

If I manage to get back alive today, this scene will be something he'll absolutely brag about.

Carlson's face darkened, and he angrily retorted, "Looks like you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."

Tie Hui watched as Carlson raised his power sword again, assumed a stance, and prepared to charge.

He raised his hand to interrupt, saying, "No rush! Let me finish what I have to say."

Carlson was taken aback for a moment, then realized that this guy was probably stalling for time, hoping that the Black Lions would come to support him.

He immediately sneered, "Stop dawdling... you..."

"Sigh~ I'm happy that you responded and came to help, but I don't like the purpose of your help." Tie Hui waved his index finger in front of him.

This arrogant attitude completely transformed Carlson, who was already on the verge of losing his mind, into a raging beast.

"In the name of the Divine Emperor, slay the traitors!"

Carlson roared and raised his power sword to slash horizontally.

Tie Hui was not afraid at all. Mithril armor instantly appeared on his body, and a greatsword appeared in his hand.

He deployed a psionic shield, and at the same time, he also buffed his greatsword with various buffs.

Through these days of battle, he had come to understand most of the magical skills and fighting methods he had learned from Gandalf and Aragorn.

He's not afraid of facing Astartes now, and even has the confidence to annihilate this group of iron cans.

The power sword swept across, but it was firmly blocked by the transparent psionic shield.

This caused Carlson's expression to change drastically; this psionicist was quite powerful.

But that's just right.

Let him see if this guy is truly the one chosen by the God Emperor.

The explosive pistol was suddenly pulled out from his waist, the muzzle flashing and the deafening roar causing the mortals in the room, who had not yet reacted, to suffer excruciating pain.

However, all of these projectiles were blocked by the psionic shield.

Tie Hui certainly wouldn't just sit idly by and take a beating!
