Warhammer in a box

Chapter 121 Rogue Trader
The production line belonging to Terra was also established with the help of these new believers of Om Messiah.

Zhang Heng, who was full of faith, had already put in several mechanical priests again.

These priests, human craftsmen and some dwarf craftsmen established Terra's own weapons manufacturing department.

While the Empire was still producing those basic automatic rifles, Terra had already begun to improve the various artillery pieces of this world.

Although it is still far from the Earthshaker in 40k, it is much more powerful and firepowerful than the conventional Imperial artillery here.

Terra can now even produce a small number of laser rifles, but due to material limitations, the production capacity of these laser rifles still cannot be increased.

Although these weapons are not up to the level of the 40k Mechanicus's Forge World, they are already at the level of the Imperial Hive City.

The power generation facilities built by these priests also solved the logistics problem of laser rifle ammunition.

Looking at the Terra troops who were undergoing a large-scale equipment change, Zhang Heng was very satisfied!

In order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the entire Terra, those who have a large number of believers can also spend a little bit.

The number of Cadian Astra Militarum and Kriegs has reached 50 each.

Marcus and Fuss served as generals of the two teams respectively.

Zhang Heng is confident that with Terra's current combat power, if converted into the Empire's combat power, it can at least face the attacks of two Elector Counties at the same time!
If we don't count the mages who possess spells in the empire, Zhang Heng feels that Terra can now withstand three or four elector lords!

At this time, the Jaeger Chamber of Commerce headquarters is located in the Terra business district.

A 10-story building stands out in the commercial district.

Otto, who was wealthy, spent a lot of money to hire dwarf craftsmen to help him build the headquarters of his chamber of commerce.

At this moment, he felt that his life had reached its peak. Because of his decision, the Jaeger Chamber of Commerce had reached a point it had never reached before.

Even now some small nobles have to be polite when they see him. After all, the resources he controls are terrifying, and with Ludwig's protection, ordinary people dare not use dirty tricks on him.

"Felix, isn't it good for you to stay here now? Look at Terra, it is simply the most civilized city I have ever seen in my life. Look at the eternal lights, the perfect sewers, and the residents, merchants, and pilgrims from all over the world.

Praise the Emperor, the two of us can together turn the Jaeger Chamber of Commerce into the largest chamber of commerce in the entire empire!"

Otto began to look forward to his bright future. Thanks to the tangible benefits and seeing Terra with his own eyes at this time, Otto also became a believer of the God-Emperor. Every week he would go to the central square of Terra to pray.

But Felix still doesn't like this kind of life.

"Brother... I'm sorry. I'm glad that you can lead the family to become stronger and stronger, but Gotrek and I are going to start our adventure again. Maybe he and I can't accept the current life in our bones."

Gotrek also liked the life here without having to worry about food and clothing, but it was too dull. A butcher's life should not be like this. He decided to embark on his own path of seeking a glorious death in battle again, and Felix also decided to continue following Gotrek.

"Felix...you...you...ah..."

Otto knew that he couldn't persuade his brother, so he had to give up.

But at this moment, a Terran guard came to Otto's door.

The servant reported the situation to Otto, who hurriedly stood up upon hearing this, not daring to delay.

"Felix... Let's go tomorrow. We can get together again. I'm going to see if Count Ludwig wants to see me for something!"

"Okay brother."

Otto stood up and walked out the door.

When Otto saw that the soldier who came was a soldier carrying a laser rifle, holding a chainsaw sword and wearing bulletproof armor, he knew that there must be something important that he wanted to talk to him about.

The soldiers who are now so fully equipped are all Ludwig's confidants and have a high status in the entire army.

"President Otto asks you to go to the Earl's residence immediately. He said he has something very important to discuss with you!"

The soldier said briefly. "Excuse me, could you please let me know in advance if Lord Ludwig wants to talk to me about something?" Otto asked tentatively, after all, it was already late at night.

"I'm sorry, the Earl didn't explain it. He just said that there is a new mission for you and he hopes you can go there as soon as possible!"

"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll change my clothes and go right away!"

Otto hurried back into the house and changed his clothes. Seeing his brother in such a hurry, Felix asked doubtfully.

"Brother, are you okay?"

"It's okay, Felix, you should go to bed early, but you must not leave without saying goodbye. It's okay to wait one more night. I have to go to the Earl's mansion now! Count Ludwig wants to see me for something!"

"Don't worry, I won't just leave."

After getting Felix's assurance, Otto felt at ease and rode in the carriage towards the Earl's residence.

As soon as the vehicle entered the inner city of Terra, it felt like entering a fortress.

The Mechanicus' men reinforced the entire inner city as much as possible, and installed all the defensive facilities they could think of and implement into the inner city.

After all, there is a huge statue of the emperor in the square of the inner city.

It would be a blasphemy if anything happened to this statue.

After passing through one heavily guarded gate after another, Otto finally arrived at his destination.

Led by the soldiers, he came to Ludwig's office.

At this time, Ludwig was still sitting at his desk handling government affairs.

And there was a special scroll on his desk.

"Count Ludwig, what do you want from me?"

"Otto, you are here. I called you here so late at night because there is something important."

Looking at Otto, Ludwig also stood up and walked in front of Otto.

"Otto, your achievements during this period are obvious to all. You have also contributed to the development of Terra. I want to ask you a serious question now."

Ludwig's expression was more solemn than ever before.

"Speak, Count!" Otto also straightened up hastily.

"Otto, do you believe in the God-Emperor? Will you always be loyal to the God-Emperor and to humanity? And will you defend Terra to the death?"

After hearing Ludwig's words, Otto's first reaction was to be stunned. Everything about this question seemed very heavy.

But after just a second of thought, Otto immediately replied.

"Of course my lord!" Otto had already decided in his heart to be tied to Terra, and he had developed faith in the Emperor through what he had seen and heard.

"Very good, Otto. I hope you will always remember what I said today. I will ask you one more question. Are you willing to become the Emperor's Rogue Trader?"

"What? A Rogue Trader?"

This was the first time Jaeger had heard the name.

But he still did not hesitate and agreed immediately.

"For the Emperor, for humanity, for Terra, and for you, Count Ludwig, I am willing to become the Emperor's Rogue Trader!"
