Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 143 Cloning Technology

Hearing this, Ian couldn't help but admire Glades' management ability. The tithe is not fixed and will hardly decrease, but it will increase with the output of the planet. Being able to exceed the tithe can be described as astonishing.

However, no amount of taxes could cover up the crime of heresy.

"Well done? Well done means she colluded with Chaos and used Chaos technology to strengthen her personal army? Or does it mean she casually declared us loyalists heretics? Declaring a living saint recognized by the Ecclesiarchy a traitor to the Empire?"

"Living saint? Who? Is there a living saint among you?"

Leon also frowned.

"It wasn't one of us. It was Gao Yi Mungat, a wandering trader from the Mungat Dynasty. These powerful warriors behind me are from that dynasty. Bishop Holt is here, and he can prove it."

"You're calling a Rogue Trader a living saint? Wait... isn't this Rogue Trader supported by you? Isn't he your puppet?"

Lyon suddenly realized that Ian's affiliation with the dynasty was not what he thought.

"Inquisitor Lyon... The Monget Dynasty is not a puppet of the Inquisition. I think you're mistaken. Bishop Holt and I are only assisting Lord Gao Yi in his actions. He also gave me the command of these soldiers."

Ian also smiled bitterly. After all, everything now almost came from Gao Yi.

This was Leon's first time encountering such a situation. It had always been the Inquisition that controlled others, but a high-ranking Inquisitor in the Expanse was actually working under a Rogue Trader? By the Divine Emperor, was the ecological environment in the Expanse so different from that within the Empire?
However, the Inquisition and the United Sect to which Lyon belonged were not ones to stand still. They were more accepting of this special situation than others.

He was even more curious about Gao Yi. Lyon suddenly had the idea of ​​winning Gao Yi over. After all, the power displayed by this dynasty was enough to cooperate with them.

Glades's loss of control also made them eager to find a new partner.

They want change, but once the means of change are out of their control, they will try to destroy what they have created.

Leon knew that what they did in Malfi could not be made public to others. Once their actions were exposed by publicly asking for help, it would be tantamount to putting the entire Reunion Sect on the spot.

Even within the Inquisition, there are too many people who want to target or even destroy them.

This group of wandering traders from the expansion zone became the fastest-reaching force they could draw upon, having nothing to do with the original Calixis sector.

They are outside the original political ecology of the empire.

"So, what's the matter with the governor here?" Ian continued to ask.

"Glades' family is not a naturally occurring human race; it was specifically bred using biotechnology here.

From a genetic perspective, they are the best. We have screened a large number of genes to genetically program them. They have received the best and most loyal education since infancy, and have received various genetic modifications since childhood.

For nearly three hundred years, we have placed this family in the position of Governor of Malfi and have been using the power of the Inquisition to guide and control them, helping them govern Malfi.

Their physical fitness and intelligence far surpass those of normally bred humans, and even their resistance to psychic energy exceeds that of ordinary humans.

They did well at first, and Malfi prospered under their leadership. The indoctrination they received since childhood also made them exceptionally loyal to the Empire! It's easy to imagine how powerful the Empire would be if there were more people like them!

Lyon's face was full of longing, and it was obvious that he really believed that he was doing something big that could change the empire.

"You actually attempted to artificially create humans and let them rule the empire? You are blaspheming the God-Emperor and the very concept of humanity!"

Ian, Damon, and Holt were all shocked by Leon's plan.

"Desecrating the concept of humanity? They still have pure skulls! They are even more superior! Although they are cloned, from a genetic point of view, they are still human, even more human than many people in the current empire."

"Excellent? So how did they lose control?"

"Precisely because they are so outstanding... and so loyal, they believe that the current Empire is terrible and must be changed! Even the Inquisition is included.

And in order to make the empire better, they are willing to do anything!
Over time, this bloodline began to branch out and spread throughout Malfi. We found that we could not control every strand of their bloodline. They gradually slipped out of our control, and for some unknown reason, they even began to mutate. We also suspect that the power of the warp is influencing them.

The Glades lineage is even more intelligent than the Inquisitor who created them.

They secretly continue to develop their own power to break free from the control of the Inquisition. In their eyes, the Inquisitors who created them are also parts that need to be optimized.

These artificially created humans are extremely conceited about their own excellence. If they want to change the current empire, they need more external forces. However, they actually think that they can rely on their own wisdom and the power of the subspace to change the empire without falling.

In contrast to their absolute convictions, they felt that even God could be manipulated by their schemes.

And their wisdom also attracted the attention of Tzeentch.

In addition to Khorne, Glades has traded with almost all evil gods, and their weapons even come from Vashtor.

The dark gods originally wanted to expose this chess piece when they were more needed, but now they use it as a tool to deal with Gao Yi.

Especially Tzeentch, and even many of Glades' transactions with other evil gods were completed under the guidance and help of Franky, the Tzeentch.

Glades was unaware that everything she had done had already made her a puppet of the Dark Gods. As she came into contact with more subspace energy, her body, which should have been perfect, began to undergo mutations that should not have occurred.

Even if she wanted to turn back, it was too late.

"So you don't think you did anything wrong now?" Ian asked.

“Wrong? It’s not a mistake, it’s just a misstep on the road to change.

Every change will be accompanied by countless failures. Cooperate, Ian.

"With the help of you and the Rogue Trader's dynasty, we can get rid of Glades. Otherwise, you can't leave here. Even if the Rogue Trader has a fleet and powerful warriors and wants to attack Malfi directly, he will definitely pay a heavy price!"

After hearing what Lyon said, Ian also hesitated. He really didn't want to cooperate with these extremists... Even though the other party was also an inquisitor of the empire, but as Lyon said, the cost of a strong attack would definitely be greater than imagined.

This is a world with over 20 billion people...

"I need to think about it!"

"I can give you time, but I hope you'll hurry. We've been stationed on Malfi for over three hundred years. We know much more about Malfi than you can imagine. You won't regret it!"

Ian also informed Gao Yi immediately.

"Wow, these Inquisitors are really ambitious... A complete set of cloning technology, this is a great thing."

Gao Yi was not as resistant to this thing as the Empire was. As long as it was used reasonably, it would not cause too much problem. After all, Krieg was a precedent. They provided billions of soldiers to the Empire every year without any problems.

This Inquisitor from Lyon is simply overdoing it and is too confident.

Trying to change the world without the ability.

Gao Yi thought that if he could obtain this complete set of cloning technology from Malfi, he might not have to worry about qualified soldiers anymore.

The combination of quickly formed qualified soldiers and the powerful production capacity of Gaoyi Interstellar Construction can truly produce a large number of soldiers.

Gao Yi doesn't need them to be very smart, he just needs them to be able to learn how to fight!

Officers can be natural persons, and all they need to do is take charge of combat.
