Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 17 Leaving the Subspace

"it's over……"

Gao Yi was also surprised when he saw the 2 psychic crystals he had earned. He didn't expect that the harvest from just a few Nurglings would be so huge?
But in fact, it was because Scott had spent several years arranging the ceremony here.

Scott used his authority to bring here all those he had killed openly or secretly as sacrifices in order to accumulate strength.

That's why Gao Yi reaped such rich rewards.

"Almost 5. It's a shame it's still some distance from the Heavy Factory. I guess even if I clear out all the remaining Chaos enemies in the battleship, I won't be able to get 5.

However, Gao Yi was not worried. This world lacked everything except cultists. Even if he did not take the initiative to look for them, they would probably come to find him.

Looking at the corpses around him that had lost the support of subspace energy and began to collapse, Gao Yi discovered that the improvement in his physical strength was even greater than he had imagined.

The raider combat suit he was wearing couldn't even keep up with his physical condition.

However, he clearly felt his lack of combat skills, and his fighting style relied entirely on brute force.

After Gao Yi decided to leave the subspace, he had to find someone to practice his combat skills. He thought there should be no shortage of powerful warriors in the dynasty.

"Thank you, Lord Gao Yi. You have saved everyone on the battleship once again."

Looking at the corpse of the wandering trader, Will sighed. When he saw the corrupted Ludwig with his own eyes, he realized that Gao Yi had a reason for not allowing others to come.

He squatted down and took a ring from Ludwig's body.

That is the ring that represents the identity of a wandering merchant of the Monget Dynasty.

"Captain! The previous Rogue Trader is dead. Your bloodline is the only one on the entire warship worthy of inheriting the position of Rogue Trader. What you have done also gives you enough prestige to take this position. I believe no one on this warship would object!"

Weier held the ring in both hands and placed it in front of Gao Yi.

"You want me to inherit the Rogue Trader now? Are there really no legal or formalities issues?"

"Legality and formalities aren't a big issue. Aren't you here to take the test? However, when you return to the dynasty's capital world, those families coveting this position will undoubtedly question you.

Every Rogue Trader will encounter this kind of situation, but this position relies not only on bloodline, but also on means and strength, right? "

"Indeed, as long as there's no problem with the legitimacy, it's fine. Will, please tell the Ministry of Publicity that the Rogue Trader Ludwig Mungert lived up to his oath and was worthy of his loyalty to the God-Emperor. He shouted the name of the God-Emperor and fought against the great enemy of Chaos until the very end!
When he completely crushed Chaos' conspiracy, his soul returned to the Golden Throne.

Now that the issue has been resolved, let's quickly execute Scott and his accomplices."

After listening to Gao Yi's words, Weir bowed deeply again.

"I'll do it right away. I'll also prepare your inauguration ceremony immediately. Before the ceremony begins, please go to the Rogue Trader's room and get some rest! I'll send someone to clean up everything here later to ensure there are no hidden dangers!"

"Then it's up to you!"

“Ah…comfortable…”

Gao Yi was lying in the huge pool in the captain's room, taking a hot bath. He had been extremely nervous since he came into this world and had not relaxed at all.

Looking at this pool of clean water, many boatmen cannot drink drinking water of this level, but they can use it to take a bath at will.

There are also exquisite cakes and fresh fruits placed by the pool. I have to say that it feels really good to have power.

Gao Yi was free to use the perfectly fried Glock steak and the top-quality Amasai.

Gao Yi can enjoy these delicacies at will.

Now I finally have a chance to relax.

The entire captain's room is 500 square meters, with gorgeous statues, exquisite ornaments, and even artworks of alien origin. Each piece can be sold at a high price if put outside.

Here Gao Yi enjoyed something that he might never be able to obtain even if he worked hard for his entire life.

The only thing Gao Yi found difficult to get used to was the dozen or so waiters standing by the bathtub. "Can you please leave first? I don't really like people watching me bathing."

"I'm sorry Captain, but we're not allowed to leave while you're bathing."

The waiter said with a little fear that they didn't know the new captain very well and didn't know if Gao Yi would vent his anger on them.

"why?"

"We've been training since we were little. 1. To serve you at all times. 2. To prevent any accidents while you're bathing. No one knows if you might slip or someone might actually sneak in. We serve you while also protecting you."

"I slipped. Okay." Seeing that the waiter was unwilling to leave, Gao Yi said nothing more. He could only try his best to get familiar with the life of a traveling merchant as soon as possible.

At this moment, the isolation panel of the battleship's porthole began to rise. Gao Yi looked out the window and the endless starry sky of the real universe appeared in front of everyone again.

The curtain between the real universe and the warp was torn open again, and with the help of the warp tide, the Golden Ram finally sailed out of the warp.

The warp engines began to shut down, and the conventional engines began to operate, sending the Golden Ram towards its target location.

The door of the room was knocked at the right time.

"I'm Will, Captain, and I have work to report to you!"

"come in!"

Gao Yi didn't care when he saw Wei Er walk in. There were so many people watching anyway, so one more person wouldn't make a difference.

"Captain, we have successfully crossed the Maw and reached the Coronus Expanse! The warship has exited the Warp, we are safe!"

The news of leaving the warp was enough to make everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

The Colonus Expanse, a world far from human territory, so far away that even the Astronomican cannot illuminate it.

This is a world that belongs to wandering traders and explorers. Countless unexplored planets are full of opportunities as well as dangers.

You may find lost technology and become rich overnight, or you may encounter an attack from unknown aliens.

Profits are paramount here. They may be enemies one second and unite to fight against the enemy the next second for the sake of interests.

“Where do we need to go next?”

"Under normal circumstances, we should return directly to the capital world, but our losses this time are too severe. After all, we still need to travel through the subspace. Although this route is relatively safe, I still suggest going to the landing port first to replenish supplies and personnel and repair the warship!"

"Landing Port...How much loss did we suffer this time?"

"The Golden Ram originally had a crew of 112000, but only 51000 are still alive and unaffected by the Warp. The loss of ordinary crew members is acceptable, but soldiers and technicians are in urgent need of reinforcements!

The Master of Sound Array was assassinated, the Master of Discipline betrayed us, the Star Language Choir suffered heavy losses, and Ms. Eunice needs to rest after maintaining the course for so long!

Upon hearing about their destination, Gao Yi also remembered the information he knew.

The port of call is at the gateway between the expansion area and the imperial territory.

It is not a planet, but a large star port floating in the void.

It is composed of countless asteroids and abandoned starships.

All human forces in the Colonus Expanse are bound to come here to deal with their spoils.

Rogue traders, sailors, pirates, the Inquisition, illegal forces, cultists, spies - it can be said that there is a mix of all kinds of people in Luojiao Port, and you can find anyone there.

In addition to legal transactions, illegal transactions are also common here. The control over alien creations and profane technology is not as strict as within the empire. As long as you don't do it blatantly, everyone will turn a blind eye.

If they really were to be arrested, I guess everyone would be worthy of being put on the stake in the courtroom, and I guarantee that no one would be innocent.
