Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 135 Little "Comoros" Malfi
Larius tried his best to control his eating habits, but Gao Yi could still see an expression of enjoyment on his face.

"Larius, we responded to the Empire's call to support the Calixis Sector. Can you tell me about the current situation?"

Gao Yi's words made Larius reluctantly put down the knife and fork in his hand.

"Lord Gao Yi, the situation in the Calixis Sector is not very good. There are constant conflicts in various sub-sectors. As you can see, even Wandering Port, once a relatively important fortress in the Calixis Sector, has no time to take care of it. If you hadn't come, I really don't know how much longer Wandering Port could have held out.

The food problem alone could cause Port Wander's population to plummet by over 7% in the coming months. By then, everyone here would be lambs to the slaughter. The sector capital, Sintira, even directly rejected our request for assistance. I have no idea what's happening in other sectors."

Larius did not hide the current situation of Wandering Port, and the Warhammer communication also made these people particularly isolated from information.

"How long has this been going on?"

"Almost two years!"

"Cintira is still some distance away from here. Haven't you tried to send astropathic messages to the surrounding imperial worlds?
As members of the Imperial Navy, you can request support from other worlds."

"Of course there are, but the entire star region is in complete chaos right now. God-Emperor, I've never seen such a situation in my life. The subspace storms are getting worse and worse, and it's even a question whether the astropathic communication can be sent out.

Moreover, the Governor of Malfi, the Hive World closest to us, asked us to abandon Wandering Port and gather towards them in the name of the Sub-Sector Commander!

But how can we just abandon such an important imperial fortress? Whether it is occupied by aliens or traitors, it is a huge threat to the empire! "

Larius didn't understand, this order was too abnormal!

Gao Yi was also thinking about Larius' words.

The hive world of Malfi is also a well-known hive world, with a population of over 20 billion.

It is the capital of the Malfi sub-region. From the number of people, we can see the gap between the empire's native population base and the expanded area.

The size of this prosperous and developed hive world is incomparable to the planets in the expansion zone.

The population of all the planets currently managed by the Monget Dynasty is not as large as that of a single Malfi hive world.

However, the combat power under Gao Yi's command is not limited to humans. The scale of the Zerg controlled by Kerrigan is already terrifyingly large, and they have even built several biological battleships, the Leviathan.

Their development is completely self-sufficient and Gao Yi does not need to spend any extra psychic crystals.

Malfi has another nickname, which is Little Comoros.

Countless aristocratic groups are like the conspiracy groups in Comoros, and the whole world is full of conspiracies and calculations.

Order and law are among the weakest in all hive worlds.

This kind of planet is simply Chaos' favorite planet, and cultists are almost rampant on this planet.

Even many nobles have secretly become believers of Chaos.

Harris's message was sent to Malfi, but no one knew to whom it was sent.

However, Gao Yi knew that no matter how corrupt this nest city was, it was still an important world in the empire.

It is not so easy to be completely corrupted. I am afraid that the hidden enemies will not attack him directly, but use some official means to sanction Gao Yi.

Knowing yourself and your enemy, Gao Yi decided to first figure out the situation on this planet. Wandering Port can be used as a base, and subsequent supplies and personnel can be transferred here.

Without using the Gorgon's warping ability, it would take hundreds of standard days to reach Sintira.

Not to mention the more distant Cadia.

Gao Yi didn't dare to warp without knowing the specific situation. If he was unlucky, he might run into the Blackstone Fortress directly, as Gorgon's small body couldn't withstand it.

It takes so long just to travel between sub-sectors. The limitations of the human empire have always been the warp and the speed of travel.

If the Empire could truly break free from these restrictions, it would be able to crush most of its opponents simply by using its unparalleled size.

"Thank you for your answer, Major General Larius. My fleet and I will assist you in defending Wandering Port."

"It's an honor to fight alongside you. I feel relieved to have you in Port Wanderer. I must also go to Malfi. After all, their governor is the nominal governor of the sub-sector. If I don't go, he may use his power to sanction me, even though I am a rear admiral of the navy..."

"Why don't you let my people go with you? My dynasty and I have just arrived here, and it is necessary for us to contact their governor."

After leaving Larius, Gao Yi returned to the room. Holt, Ian, and Damon gathered in Gao Yi's room, and Gao Yi briefly told them the current situation.

He also pointed out that Malfi might have developed an uncontrollable chaotic corruption.

"I've been to Malfi before and met several inquisitors there. Perhaps I can go over there and take a look at the situation."

"I also visited Malfi before coming to the Kronus Expanse. I can go to Malfi with Lord Ian to get in touch with the local state religion."

Ian and Holt said at the same time.

"I will give you a group of Rangers and two squads of Night Guard. Damon, you will lead the Night Guard."

With Damon around, Gao Yi can also see Malfi's situation at any time.

"Please rest assured, I will protect you two adults."

Gao Yi also asked Norris to take 20 ghosts with the fleet. They would obey Damon and help the team secretly.

the next day.

Soon, a Dynasty fleet consisting of a light cruiser and three frigates carried the three people towards Malfi.

Larius also went with them.

The fleet jumped into the warp and arrived at Malfi's system 10 days later.

Malfi's huge nest is located above the nest.

Countless intricate palaces are scattered across it, and the owner of each huge palace is a noble aristocrat.

Unlike the nobles of Agathos, who all obey Gao Yi.

The nobles here are more like warlords.

The combat effectiveness of Malfi's local pdf is completely unacceptable, but the private soldiers of these nobles have amazing combat effectiveness.

Malfi's main tithe to the empire comes from the original indigenous people of the planet. These brutal and warlike nomadic peoples are the source of the nobles' private soldiers and also pay tithes to the empire.

The largest of these palaces belonged to the nominal ruler of Malfi.

Governor Glades.

At this time, the female governor was in her own secret room.

There is a holy statue of the God Emperor in the secret room, and she is praying to the God Emperor.

She looked up at the statue of the God-Emperor, her mouth full of words of atonement.

Beneath her exquisite robe was a body with obvious mutations.

After leaving the secret room, Glades came to a medical room where the pharmacist had already prepared special medicine.

As the drug was injected, beneath the immense pain came an indescribable pleasure...

Suppressing this feeling, Glades' body, which was on the verge of collapse due to mutation, regained vitality.

And she could even use some simple psychic magic to make her mutated body look like an ordinary person.

No matter how you look at it, these are all powers belonging to different evil gods.

"My master, Grieus of Wandering Harbor has arrived in Malfi as ordered... but Harris has completely lost contact. He sent a message of astropathic communication before he lost contact."

"Harris is missing? Grieus, who had been refusing orders, has returned on his own initiative? Has Port Wanderer been occupied by aliens? Did the plan succeed?"

"Not really... The astrologer mentioned it. You kept saying to be careful of the Rogue Trader fleet from the Expanse... They even had a fleet arrive in Malfi with Grievous, but the entourage was strange. The representative was actually a cardinal and a high-ranking inquisitor... The Rogue Trader himself didn't come."

The servant's words piqued Glades' interest.

"Interesting... I want to see what's going on with the people being watched by those beings in the High Heaven."
