Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 139 High Reward
Malfi's upper nest complex is the only one Damon and his friends have ever seen.

As the bishop of the Agathos State Religion, Holt was very familiar with the former Agathos Upper Nest.

There are still traces to be found under the layers of stacked buildings, and the Monget Dynasty even has professional navigation equipment to ensure that people will not get lost in the upper nest.

But Malfi's upper nest seemed to have inherited the characteristics of the people here, who were insidious and cunning, and good at calculating against each other.

Almost every large building complex belonging to the nobility is like a maze.

Malfine is full of assassinations and revenge killings. Even the great nobles have to be on guard against attacks from the enemy at all times, and the maze-like mansion is the first obstacle that the assassins have to face.

As they broke through the defense line of the Governor's private soldiers who had not yet reacted, everyone began to run around like headless flies in the complex terrain of Shangchao.

"Who on earth had the idea to build Upper Nest like this?! Can the people here find their way around?!"

Ian couldn't help but curse through gritted teeth.

This forced Ian to use his divination to find a suitable path for everyone. Ian never thought that his psychic divination would one day be used to find a way. If it weren't for his body strengthened by Gao Yi, repeated divinations would be enough to push his brain to the limit of what it could bear.

It wasn't just Damon and the others who had a headache. Glades was also furiously scolding his soldiers. 50 people, just such a small number of people, actually broke through the defense line set up by his 5000 elite private soldiers.

Each of these private soldiers had been genetically enhanced and blessed with the evil magic of the subspace, and even wore exquisite equipment, and yet they just ran away like that?!

What was the point of her spending so much money to create these soldiers?

Once this group of guys sneak into the complex building complex of Shangchao, it will be difficult for her, as the governor, to pull them out.

Although she is the governor of a planet, each of the nobles here, who are like warlords, has his own plans.

He didn't even ask her to say hello when he expanded his palace.

"Waste! They're all fucking waste!"

A group of slaves looked at their angry master, crawling on the ground and not daring to raise their heads.

Glades, panting heavily due to extreme anger, returned to his throne.

The body that originally belonged to humans slowly began to reveal some mutant characteristics again, and whispers from the subspace also sounded in her mind.

The terrifying existences in the Supreme Heaven were telling her that if she failed to catch these people, the pain she would face would be absolutely unimaginable. Only by completely accepting the power from the Supreme Heaven could she better complete the task.

"Get out of my head, I'll catch them!"

Glades covered her head, trying to drive out the voices. From her attitude, it seemed that she did not respect and worship the evil gods like other cultists.

There was even disgust and anger in her eyes. She didn't even want to sacrifice Damon and others to the evil gods even though she had captured them in her plan. If she possessed the power that even the evil gods were tempted by,
"Issuing a wanted order throughout Malfi! It doesn't matter who they are! As long as we can capture them, they will be granted the title of earl, and their governor will provide them with unimaginable wealth, weapons, equipment, money, and even warships! All of this can be a reward! I just need to capture them!"

As the wanted order was issued, the whole of Malfi was in an uproar. The first ones to receive the reward were the great nobles, but they did not take much action and only sent some people symbolically.

And they would not believe a word that Malfi said these people were heretics.

The first skill that Malfi children learn after they can speak is lying. If you can't even lie, don't call yourself a Malfi child.

Don't trust anyone is one of Malfi's most common life mottos. No matter how sincere or honest someone is, you can't trust them. Otherwise, within a few hours, everything you own will be plundered and your body will be found in the sewers. The second group to receive the wanted order was the Blood Guild. When the wanted order was posted, countless Blood Hunters went crazy.

These riches are simply unimaginable. Just getting a little bit of them would be enough for them to completely escape from the dark underworld and become a wealthy noble lord, no longer having to live a life on the edge of a knife.

As these blood hunters swept across the entire Malfi Hive, countless people spontaneously formed groups to try to become the lucky one.

While these civilians might be blinded by profit, the Ecclesiarchy and the Inquisition should be aware that this is simply untrue. Even if they cannot prove the innocence of Damon and others, the betrayal of a bishop and the corruption of a high-ranking inquisitor are an intolerable scandal for them.

Neither internal pursuits nor trials will be left to the civilians of the empire.

However, the Cardinal of Malfi's state religion had inexplicably died on the way to spread the gospel of the Divine Emperor, and before Grieus of Wandering Port could report on his work, he and his guards were found killed in the navy's temporary residence.

The biological information of Damon and others remained at the scene, and even the priests and servants had a glimpse of their faces.

The pharmacist's examination proved that they all died shortly after meeting Damon and others.

Even if they did not particularly believe that Damon and others were heretics, they had to join the team to find Damon. Only by finding Damon and others could they know the truth of the matter.

At this time, Norris and his ghosts also entered the lower nest of the hive city from the wilderness.

Hiding in the dark, they looked at the wanted posters circulating everywhere, and he also knew the current situation of Damon and others.

Norris didn't expect that Glades would act against them so quickly.

"Lord Norris, what should we do? Should we rush up to support Lord Damon?" another ghost on the side couldn't help but ask.

"This won't work. Can we really fight against the crazy residents of the entire hive with just the guys like us?"

"We'll stand by. Let's first tell Lord Gao Yi about the situation here."

At this time, Gao Yi was still in Wandering Port, and he learned the news of the fleet being attacked through quantum communication.

Before Norris even sent back the communication, Gao Yi saw the scene of them being attacked through Damon's perspective.

It was not until Norris sent back a message that Gao Yi learned the true situation of Damon and others.

This is the true ocean of people's war...

However, Gao Yi agreed with the approach of Norris and others. If they went to support Damon now, a few ghosts would not be of any use, as ghosts were not suitable for frontal battlefields.

Gao Yi knew that with the current fleet strength, it would be difficult to win the war head-on, even with the Starry Sky Pioneer. Fighting in the void had great advantages, but Glades also had countless ground defense firepower on the ground.

Even if one tenth of the more than 20 billion people rebelled, Gao Yi could bear it.

And the most important thing is that there are signs of chaos behind them. These guys are the most difficult to deal with.

He had to use some other means, as the strongest fortresses are often broken from within.

The alien insects kept in captivity on the uninhabited planet need to be put to use.
