Lord Gao Yi was changing into his combat suit, intending to accompany the troops down to the Lower Hive. Right now, his personal combat power was the highest among all his subordinates when facing single targets.
If Mortal Troops could still rely on heavy firepower and numerical superiority to fight Astartes on a frontal battlefield, the complex terrain of the Lower Hive was tailor-made for Astartes.
Here, they could maximize their combat experience and exceptional physical fitness. Even if only two of them remained, the destructive power they could cause was unpredictable. In Warhammer, after the Space Marines disbanded their Legions, they rarely had the chance to become the main force of a frontal battlefield.
Instead, they leaned more toward special operations, where striking high-value targets and beheading enemies became their primary missions.
Moreover, the Genestealers were currently in the Lower Hive. From the Sanctioner Gao Yi encountered last time, he felt that these creatures were far more tricky than described. The Genestealer Patriarch among them possessed not only powerful psychic abilities but also physical stats that surpassed even the Astartes.
"My Lord, Inquisitor Ian wishes to see you."
The attendant's voice came from outside the door.

"Should I address you as Lord Gao Yi now, or the great Living Saint?"
"Just call me Lord. What brings you here, Inquisitor Ian?"
"It is about some matters in the Lower Hive. Are you planning to go down there yourself?"
"Yes. I am going to deal with all the enemies on Agathos
