Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 131 Target Calixis Sector
Two years later.

Port of call

That is in the palace of the king of the port.

Gao Yi was sitting on the throne belonging to the King of Luojiao. The previous owner was the deceased Sivir.

Jie Yi was standing in front of Gao Yi with her head bowed respectfully.

Jie Yi, who was once just a gang leader, has now become the new king of the port.

And the king of the original port of call, Tantos, is now floating in the sewage of some sewer.

Gao Yi really wanted to give him a chance to live.

But he never gave up his obsession with power.

They secretly attacked the dynasty's soldiers and even caused damage in their landing ports.

"My great lord, everything in the landing port will follow your will!"

Jie Yi seemed particularly high-spirited at this time. She never thought that the bet she had made would be exchanged for such a generous reward, although the real ruler was still the official sent by the Monget Dynasty.

However, just being responsible for the allocation and operation of some of the materials allowed her personal wealth to accumulate to a level that was once completely unimaginable.

It is good to lean on a big tree for shade. The former governor of the port of call was just a coolie belonging to the traveling merchants in public, but now some high-ranking officials of the Imperial Navy and the leaders of various groups have to greet her with a smile. Everyone knows that she is now the exclusive agent of the Monget Dynasty.

And now the place where they settle down has become completely dominated by Gao Yi.

After the death of Asbais, the Kurda Dynasty fell into a long period of civil strife. The turmoil within the empire even prevented their forces in the Calixis sector from coming to support.

The unrest even attracted attacks from the Dark Eldar and Orcs, which made the situation of the Kurda Dynasty even worse.

Although they had successfully selected a new Rogue Trader, the losses in the Winsterkyle Domain would take more than a decade to recover from without support.

Looking across the entire expansion area, apart from the alien fleets that appear from time to time, there is no other imperial force that can compete with Gao Yi for the hegemony of Kronus.

Even the Dark Eldar fleet felt overwhelmed by the production capacity of Gao Yi's massive starports.

Over the past two years, more and more Rogue Traders have taken the initiative to join Gao Yi's Rogue Trader Alliance.

It's not just about material assistance and intelligence sharing, but more importantly, they discovered that dynasties that did not join the Rogue Trader Alliance often suffered more alien invasions.

Combat uniforms are gradually no longer a regulated commodity in the Rogue Trader Alliance.

Once you join the alliance, you can purchase combat uniforms at a more favorable price.

The increased combat power brought by the battle suits makes space pirates such as the Dark Eldar less willing to go to these worlds to plunder the population.

They are going to collect suffering souls, not to lose their lives.

Attacking these worlds would be more costly, so why not attack those worlds that are easier to capture and weaker?

The quantum communication system established by Gao Yi can provide the most timely assistance when an alliance world is attacked by large-scale aliens.

Of course, Gao Yi only opened this system to alliance members, and even the right to use it was in the hands of priests sent by the Monget Dynasty.

Someone has to suffer. If the alliance members don’t, then those outside the alliance will have to bear it.

Gao Yi’s current strength is not enough to radiate the entire expansion area and protect every place.

The Dark Eldar's pursuit of slaves is endless, after all, they rely on this to protect themselves from falling into the hands of Slaanesh.

The Imperial Military Affairs Department and the Navy had no intention of interfering with the shifting power within the Expanse. The Rogue Traders were the true masters of the Expanse. They simply sought to ensure that the Expanse remained part of the Empire.

And Ian did just as he imagined. He used the massive resources provided by Gao Yi to win over many low-level judges with similar experiences. Don't underestimate these low-level judges. They have followed their superiors for so many years and even done a lot of dirty work for them.

Although he is controlled by a higher-level Inquisitor, he also knows many of the other party's secrets.

The sentence "You stare into the abyss, and the abyss also stares into you" is not appropriate for the Inquisitor. It should be said that you stare into the abyss, but find that you are darker than the abyss. No Inquisitor is clean.

There are various factions within the Inquisition, and there are constant struggles between factions.

If they were alone and tried to use these scandals to threaten their high-ranking inquisitors, the consequences would definitely be being sent on some fatal mission or being expelled.

With Gao Yi's help, Holt used the influence of the state religion to amplify their scandals and slowly forced them out of the power center of the Kronus Tribunal.

Even though they did not have the power to convict these judges, once some things were made public, they were still unacceptable to the empire.

It doesn't matter what the Inquisitor looks like in the eyes of those in the know, but in the eyes of the people of the Empire, the Inquisitor is still pure.

The port of call was no longer as chaotic as it once was. Even in the most filthy shadow area, order began to exist.

All disputes often arise from insufficient resources, but with Gao Yi's injection of resources, Luojiaogang began to regain its vitality.

Whether they are gang members or cultists who worship taboos, they are all shrouded in the fear brought by ghosts.

The ghost army under Gao Yi has been slowly expanding in size, and the personnel are selected specifically from psychics who have suffered from chaos or aliens.

While the psionic binders keep them loyal to Gao Yi, they also have enough hatred for Chaos or aliens.

The ghosts walking in the shadows, which were invisible to the naked eye, killed almost all the heretical cults in the port with the help of the Death Cult.

The ability to control the mind is simply a powerful interrogation tool.

No one knows the true identity of the Ghost Army, but anyone who is interested can see that it is an unknown force in the hands of the Monget Dynasty.

Even though no one revealed the true name of this force, people called them the Ghosts of the Mongot Dynasty because of their fear and characteristics.

But even so, it is still impossible to completely extinguish the chaos that is constantly sprouting in the dark. Gao Yi looks at the information provided by Norris every once in a while and finds that Chaos' attempts to infiltrate the dynasty are becoming more and more frequent.

Gao Yi sat at the table and looked at the power in his hands.

With a complete fleet, elite soldiers, and massive resources integrated from a large number of planets, he and his dynasty now finally have the power to move out of the Kronus Expansion Zone.

The Starry Sky Pioneer, 8 cruisers from various dynasties, and 30 frigates.

And these do not include the Gorgons that can jump into Agathos at any time. Adding the warships owned by the Imperial Navy itself, this is already a fleet of a size that cannot be underestimated.

The fleet is already anchored outside the landing port, ready to cross the "Mouth" to Calixis.

In addition to the dynasty fighters directly under Gao Yi, the number of fighters from various dynasties and the first batch dispatched by Gao Yi has reached one million.

Although it is insignificant compared to the number of humans in the empire, the number of people involved in an expedition within the empire is often only in the millions or just over ten million.

These are not just a million soldiers equipped with a laser rifle and a bulletproof armor, but soldiers fully equipped with combat uniforms.

The number of logistics troops is even more exaggerated. If necessary, a steady stream of supplies and combatants will be transported to the front line.

Gao Yi estimated that the empire could not have imagined that the expansion support force, which was not taken seriously, would be so powerful.

"Get ready to go, target the Calixis sector!"
