Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 111: Khorne Cultists, They Have Brains, But Not Much
Sivir boarded Gao Yi's Star Pioneer with her attendants and Asbais, and also accompanied by several small wandering merchants who had surrendered and even had the Inquisition's staff.

Walking inside this battleship, everyone's eyes contain different emotions.

There is envy and jealousy, but more of it is fear.

A battleship from the Golden Age! No one in the entire expansion owns this kind of thing. Even within the Empire, except for some founding groups or the Mechanicus, almost no one owns a battleship of this specification.

Arks like the Queen of Glory and the Adeptus Mechanicus are not something that the current empire can build; their technology comes from that era.

Gao Yi and Harald were already waiting on the bridge.

Even Harald brought all the warriors in the wolf pack.

Under normal circumstances, the Wolf Pack would be unlikely to get involved in a dispute over interests between a Rogue Trader and other forces, even if the other party had saved their lives. However, when Gao Yi told him that the other party was the Inquisition and some of its followers, Harald became excited.

The events of the Shameful Moon of the First Battle of Armageddon still reverberate centuries later.

In order to protect the mortal warriors who fought alongside them from being purged by the Inquisition and the Grey Knights, the Space Wolves fought against them.

The losses inflicted on the Space Wolves by the Inquisition and the Grey Knights were even greater than those inflicted by the Daemon Primarch Magnus' invasion of the Space Wolves' homeworld of Fenris.

But it also made the Inquisition and the Grey Knights realize how tough a nut to crack the Space Wolves are.

The large number of battle barges and the Wolf Fang Fortress, a fortress second only to the Terra Palace in strength, made the people of the Inquisition feel terrified.

Even after that incident, the Inquisition was still searching for evidence against the Space Wolves, and the system where the Space Wolves' homeworld, Fenris, was located still refused entry to all Inquisition personnel.

In the eyes of both sides, although they are not mortal enemies, they are thorns in the eyes of each other.

Harald said that if the other party is the Inquisition, then my wolf cubs and I will definitely come to help you hold up the scene.

When Sivir came to the bridge, he did not expect that Space Wolves would appear here. The incident of the Moon of Shame might be a secret to other people in the Empire, but as the Grand Inquisitor, how could he not know about it?

"Why are these guys here?! Why is Gao Yi hanging out with these guys?!" Xiweier said in her heart.

"Greetings, Respected Grand Inquisitor. This is probably our first meeting, isn't it? I've heard your name before. The Kronus Expanse is truly fortunate to have a loyal Inquisitor like you!"

Gao Yi said with a smile, Gao Yi played the good guy, while the Space Wolf on the side played the bad guy.

Harald and the other warriors had ferocious looks on their faces, even showing their fangs, and acted without any scruples as if they were really unhappy with you inquisitors.

"Indeed, this is the first time I have met you, but what I did not expect was that the great Space Wolves would also be here."

No matter how much the two sides disagree, everyone knows that they can fight secretly, but under the negotiations, it is impossible for the two sides to have a head-on conflict here.

Everyone sat down around the holographic projection on the bridge.

Now that the show of force has been given, it's time to get down to business. Without Chaos's involvement, everyone can have a good fight, but when the real threat is presented, everyone knows that they must temporarily put aside their prejudices against each other.

Gao Yi had always felt a hostile gaze fixed upon him, and that person was none other than Asbais. Gao Yi clearly remembered that this person even believed that eating raw human brains could make him feel the perversion of the other person's heretical behavior.
"I didn't expect that you would eliminate the traitor of Walibos in just ten days."

Sivir looked at the Space Wolves beside Gao Yi again. In his eyes, Gao Yi must have achieved this with the help of this group of Astartes.

"Every minute and every second of purifying Chaos is important. Let's talk about how to completely resolve the problems of the Winsterkel Dynasty."

This negotiation is not only about planning the next strategy, but also about the distribution of interests.

When the problem of chaos was solved, the interest vacuum created by the disappearance of the Winsterkel Dynasty was exaggerated.

Not only the planet itself, but also the minerals, population, and even trade routes and waterways on it are valuable assets.

The most straightforward profit distribution model was that whoever resolved the rebellion on a particular planet would receive everything mentioned above. Gao Yi, Sivir, and Asbais all thought this was reasonable.

Both sides felt that they were stronger than the other.

Gao Yi knew his own hidden power, while Sivir and others believed that their fleet and the number of soldiers would surpass those of the Monget Dynasty, and it would be useless even if the other side had this golden age warship and the help of the Space Wolves.

After all, in addition to the Rogue Traders, Sivir can also mobilize the Empire's navy.

Although the negotiations between the two sides were unpleasant, they went smoothly.

Gao Yi will continue his attack using Walipos as the starting point.

Originally, Sivir and others wanted to join the attack on Varipus.

Now they are no longer needed to contribute, and it is impossible for them to seize ownership of this planet.

They left Walipos and headed for the fleet of the Khurda Dynasty.

Soon, the combined forces of the Kurda Dynasty and the Imperial Navy launched an attack on another border world.

The huge fleet crushed the enemy with its hard power, and with sufficient manpower and the fleet, they forced an airborne landing without regard for casualties.

Thanks to Gao Yi's reminder, the corruption of Khorne in many worlds has not reached a point where it cannot be controlled.

But under the fleet led by Kulda, those planets that were corrupted by Chaos were subjected to inhumane attacks.

Not only was there a bombing by the fleet, but after the ground troops landed, orders were issued to execute anyone who was suspected.

In order to completely eliminate the corruption of Chaos, death filled these planets. When the fleet left, only one in a hundred or one in a thousand of the original population of the entire planet remained.

They do not have the ability to quickly purify corruption like Gao Yi.

The easiest way is to kill all those affected.

This is also the most commonly used method by the court.

And when these planets are purified, the minerals and various industries on them will also be taken over.

When a planet is deemed completely beyond saving, Sivir is also ruthlessly ordered to be exterminated. Compared with the Inquisitors in the Empire, the Inquisitors in the Expanse have greater autonomy.

The cyclone torpedoes will sweep across the planet, killing all life on it.

But no matter what, issuing an extermination order for any planet would be a huge loss for the empire.

Chaos can be hit and run, but the exterminated planet also loses its value.

Therefore, the Empire's review of extermination orders is actually very strict. Although the Inquisitors have the right to issue extermination orders, when facing the Empire's review afterwards, the actions of these Inquisitors will often be considered illegal and they will be executed by the Empire.

This matter has always made Gao Yi feel incredible. Even in this situation, these inquisitors still dared to issue extermination orders. It has to be said that they are really brave.

The once prosperous land of Winsterkyle has now been engulfed in war.

One can imagine how miserable this star field will be after the end, and it will be impossible to restore it to its former prosperity.

The war is also giving rise to Khorne's corruption. Khorne doesn't care whether it is believers or the Empire's army that provide him with these emotions, he will accept them all.

The strength of the four gods depends on the situation in the galaxy. When a powerful plague sweeps across the galaxy, Nurgle will become stronger, as was the case with the subsequent Plague War. Therefore, Tzeentch will also take the initiative to betray Nurgle. When an unparalleled war comes, Khorne will once again overwhelm the other three gods.
