Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 127 Power Ambition
The battle with the demon army killed a large number of demons, including some high-level demons.

This caused the number of psychic crystals Gao Yi harvested to soar. If the Great Demon's psychic energy had not been directly absorbed by Doom himself, the number of psychic crystals would have been even more exaggerated.

Looking at the balance of psychic crystals that he had never owned before, Gao Yi suddenly felt like a nouveau riche.

"300 million... that could build so many starports... and if used to expand the Night Sentinels, it could also create dozens of powerful warriors."

Gao Yi finally decided to produce some more Night Guards. The production of star ports and heavy factories has been relatively saturated with the current size of the Monget Dynasty.

The combat uniforms were beginning to gather dust in the warehouse.

He couldn't sell the Gorgons that had the ability to jump. Even if he built more, there wouldn't be enough people to operate them, so there was no need.

The battle with the demon army also made him realize the disadvantage of lacking powerful warriors.

Just like when Gao Yi played Warhammer: Total War, you can choose to play the shooting and blasting flow, but you always need one or two teams of strong front lines to hold the line.

In the game, even a powerful lord can hold back several teams of enemies to gain output space and time for his own ranged troops.

What Gao Yi lacks is such warriors.

Suddenly Gao Yi felt something unusual happening in the subspace. It was the God-Emperor who was actually calling him.

When Gao Yi switched his consciousness to the subspace projection.

The voice of the Divine Emperor also rang in his mind.

"Who is he?! Who is that warrior!?"

"Him? His name is DOOM. Like me, he doesn't belong to this world. Emperor, I advise you to stop thinking about him."

Gao Yi reminded directly.

After hearing Gao Yi's words, the Emperor also fell silent. He could also feel the power contained in Doom, and when he tried to observe the other party in the warp, the other party also discovered his existence. A deep hatred for no reason made the Emperor feel frightened.

"I saw that his armor is the same as that of your warriors! Are they related?"

"They possess similar powers, but reaching DOOM's level is nearly impossible. It's not just their abilities that are powerful; it's DOOM himself who's powerful. Theoretically, if you let them kill demons in space for hundreds of millions of years, they might become as powerful as DOOM, but that's impossible, isn't it?"

Gao Yi's words left the God Emperor silent, but this did at least give him hope. The ability to completely kill demons, and even mass-produce them, was an irresistible temptation for the God Emperor.

Looking at the silent black sun in front of him that continuously emitted spiritual energy, Gao Yi also directly returned his consciousness to the real world.

The desire of the God Emperor made him shudder.

If the Divine Emperor had not been unable to understand the technical principles of Gao Yi, Gao Yi would even be a little worried that the Divine Emperor also wanted to kill him and seize the technology.

After all, everything came from his golden finger. He even suspected that the Emperor of God was raising pigs to see if he could get more good things out of him.

"I can't rely on anyone... I have to rely on myself..."

Before Gao Yi's fleet returned to Agathos, the news of victory had already come back.

Rebecca was also particularly excited when she saw the message sent back by Gao Yi.

The officials around noticed that Rebecca was in a particularly good mood during this period.

Under Gao Yi's leadership, the Monget Dynasty has completely become a behemoth in the Kronus Expansion Area. No one thinks that the Monget Dynasty is just a showpiece with some equipment.

Nothing would make him happier than the strength of the Monget dynasty.

Under Rebecca's orders, the entire dynasty began to get busy.

Rebecca ordered the officials to tell everyone in Agathos the news that the Rogue Trader was about to return victoriously.

Even a small number of free work points were given to every registered resident of Agathos.

The abundance of living resources allows Rebecca to do this. The reason she does this is to tie Gao Yi's interests together with everyone in the dynasty.

For most people, material abundance is the key to pursuing spiritual happiness. Rebecca observed Gao Yi's policies and, with her keen political acumen, sensed that her lord was intentionally reducing the God-Emperor's influence in Agathos.

As the dynasty continued to bring benefits to the people, people's praise for the wandering merchants completely overwhelmed their praise for the God-Emperor.

Rebecca didn't think too much, all she had to do was follow Gao Yi closely.

Under the protection of her followers, Rebecca went to the Inquisition branch in Agathos. This building located in the Upper Nest was built in an exceptionally magnificent manner.

With Gao Yi's allocation of resources, the entire Tribunal branch is no longer controlled by Ian alone.

A large number of administrative personnel and combat personnel from Agathos fill various positions within the Inquisitorial branch.

Ian has even recruited a lot of servants.

These servants helped Ian solve various problems on Agathos while also learning from Ian's side.

Ian had to say that these people were really useful, and Dynasty's control over Agathos was ridiculously high.

You should know that in many nests, the lower nest is not even considered as the territory of the empire by default.

He was once just an ordinary inquisitor under Derek and did not have the right to recruit apprentices. He spent most of his time completing Derek's orders.

Now he is in charge of an entire branch and is also training some talents for Gao Yi according to Gao Yi's requirements.

Ian knew very well that this was an exchange of interests between Gao Yi and him, but he did not reject it.

Most Inquisitors will train servants and allies, and Ian can now even mobilize the Rangers army, which has surpassed most of the Inquisitors in the expansion area.

And Ian also knew very well Gao Yi's purpose in asking him to train these servants.

That is, Gao Yi hopes that there can be some people in the Monget Dynasty who can serve as judges.

Inquisitors are never produced through daily assessments or centralized selection.

They are often spotted by another Inquisitor and follow him to hone their skills and learn continuously. Finally, they are qualified to become an Inquisitor after being jointly recommended by three other Inquisitors and a high-level Inquisitor.

Ian was originally a little disdainful of Gao Yi's idea. After all, he could lead these servants to study, but he couldn't make these servants truly become judges by himself.

But when he saw the documents Rebecca handed him, Ian couldn't help but sigh in his heart at Gao Yi's ambition.

"Judge Ian, please carefully read the documents Lord Gao Yi gave you. Lord Gao Yi asked me to fully cooperate with you. If you have any resource needs, the Monget Dynasty will do its best to meet them. Lord Gao Yi also said that since you have done so much for the dynasty, he intends to give you a gift."

"Gift?!"

"Judge Ian, the lord will be back soon. You will know when you see him."

This gift is exactly what Gao Yi intends to use the divine machinery to strengthen Ian, but it is just a simple strengthening and he will not be equipped with the Archon Armor.

Political resources are necessary, but if the strength is too weak, Ian will not be able to win the support of the people.

"I understand, Governor Rebecca."

"Praise the God-Emperor, thank you for your efforts, Inquisitor Ian. I will be leaving now."

After a brief greeting, Rebecca left the Inquisition branch.

"Will you let me compete for the position of High Inquisitor or even higher? Will Bishop Holt even use the influence of the state religion and the title of Saint Gao Yihuo to help me?"

Ian looked at the documents in his hand and seemed to have made up his mind.

What is the difference between being content with the status quo and being a salted fish? Even if he is an inquisitor, he has no reason not to fight for greater rights with the help of a living saint certified by the state religion. Gao Yi is not a heretic!

Only in this way can he better control his own destiny, and Ian also began to think about his former colleagues in the Inquisitor.

There are quite a few inquisitors with similar experiences as him, and there are even more people who are ambitious while remaining loyal. He can use the existing resources of the Monget Dynasty to win over these people. Perhaps he really has a chance to climb to a position that he never dared to imagine.
