Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 20 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

"As you wish, I can contact the buyer right now."

"Wait, if we want to get a good price, we must let the buyer see the actual effect of the product. What was the name of the force that rejected us before?"

"The Void Alliance is a group of daring pirates. They are spread across the void of the Expanse. They do not believe in anything sacred and will sell anything. Profit is paramount to them. They dare to confront even Rogue Traders and the Imperial Navy."

"Attack the navy? The navy didn't intend to destroy them? Those pirates' small sampans probably couldn't withstand a salvo from the navy, right?"

"The Void Alliance, as the name suggests, is a very vague organization. Once you eliminate a group of pirates, others will quickly take their place.

All merchants and even the navy in the expanded area need someone to do some things for them that cannot be made public, such as buying or selling some confidential information!

When you are strong enough, the complex network of relationships among these guys can indeed bring us enough benefits. They dare to do things that others dare not do.

That's why Dynasty chose them as our trading partners, but now these ungrateful people think we have no chance of turning things around, or maybe they've found new backers."

They are just a group of pirates. Gao Yi has decided to use them as an example to scare others.

"Will, suspend the crew's rest and tell Damon to bring two companies of 200 men, wear CMC uniforms and gather at my place. Since they don't take me seriously, I can only use my fists to maintain the dignity of a Rogue Trader."

"That's right! How can we allow these pirates to provoke the dynasty's threat! My lord! Please allow me to participate in this battle as well." Will had been holding back his anger for a long time, and he was very happy that Gao Yi was tough enough!

Gao Yi did not want to completely wipe out the Void Alliance. He just wanted to tell everyone that the Monget Dynasty was still powerful and use the lives of these pirates to endorse his own products.

After receiving the order, Damon immediately began to count the personnel, and several shuttles began to sail from the Golden Crane towards Falling Corner Port.

"Commander! The soldiers are ready!"

Gao Yi discovered that many of the two hundred soldiers were rangers he had transferred over.

Gao Yi could sense them.

Since the riot was quelled, Damon has started to integrate the troops, and the barracks production has never stopped.

One hundred soldiers form a company, and each company has 10 interstellar soldiers as the backbone for leadership and training.

Each company currently consists of 3 fire bats, 2 medics, 5 raiders, and 90 machine gunners.

Gao Yi now has 10 companies of rangers under his command. These soldiers are veterans who survived the riots. They are determined and loyal to Gao Yi.

Weir also provided them with chainswords to replace the bayonets of the C-14 rifles to make up for their disadvantages in close combat.

Gao Yi believed that the rangers under his command would soon become famous.

Sets of CMC were distributed to the soldiers. If there were not enough metal materials, the output could be further increased. In addition to the ones worn by the soldiers, there were already about two hundred sets of combat uniforms piled up in the warehouse.

Subsequent crew members will need to compete to be eligible to wear the CMC combat uniform and join the Rangers.

Now, among the crew of the Golden Horn, it is a great honor to be able to join the Rangers.

"Destination: Alfarojo Port! Forward!"

The team headed towards the target location in an orderly manner. Gao Yi did not hide the team's whereabouts at all, and such a large-scale event attracted everyone's attention.

The news spread throughout the entire port in a short time, and smart people knew that something big was about to happen.

The guards at the landing port attempted to intervene and question the group's intentions. After all, normal trade requires a relatively safe and stable environment. However, upon seeing the Rogue Traders in the group, they tactfully retreated. What a joke! Here, if you're killed by Rogue Traders, you just accept it, and no one will seek justice for you.

However, as soon as the team entered the Alfarojo port, someone stopped them.

Just when Gao Yi was wondering who was so bold, he found that the person in front of him seemed very familiar...

Dark skin, ornate clothing, dazzling jewelry, and implants made of precious metals.

The woman in front of him stared at Gao Yi in the team with a smile in her eyes.

"Jay Haidali?"

Gao Yi recognized the identity of the person in front of him. He was one of the few normal people in the Rogue Trader game, although his hands and feet were a bit dirty... Gao Yi even completed a love line with her.

Compared to other crazy people in the game, Jie Yi is humorous, has a very high emotional intelligence, and can get along well with most people.

Of course, she is also a speculator and is also obsessed with profit, but not as extreme.

It seems the world I traveled through is somewhat related to the computer game. It seems I can use some of the information there, like the Necrons' tomb here... and there's even a C'tan fragment there...

"Dear Rogue Trader, Jaiyi of the Casbarica Group greets you."

"Oh? Casparica? So what do you want from me?"

Gao Yi had learned about this organization in the game. They came here when the expansion was just discovered. Their founders could be traced back to the criminal group from the Solar Star Region that first came to the Calixis Star Region.

They are also the most powerful underground trade organization in the entire expansion area, spanning multiple star fields. Compared with the pirates who disregard order, Casbarica is more inclined to law, and they also regard themselves more as merchants. Their leaders like to call themselves nobles such as barons and dukes. True imperial nobles will only regard their titles as a joke.

They are keen to make friends with Rogue Traders and strike contracts with them, but precisely because of their merchant nature, they insist on taking a hefty profit from every transaction.

Therefore, cooperation with Kasbarika will inevitably require giving up part of the profits.

"I've heard about the disrespect the Void Alliance pirates showed you. What shortsighted fellows you are! Compared to them, I believe you must be a powerful Rogue Trader. Since those pirates are so ungrateful, I very much hope to become your new partner."

"So, are you representing yourself or Casbarica, the port of destination?" Gao Yi asked with interest.

"I only represent myself. I am just a spokesperson for Casbarica and not a complete Casbarica person. To be honest, the group is still on the sidelines about you, but I believe in my own judgment." Jie Yi seemed particularly confident when she said this.

"You are really a speculator."

"I'll just take this as an exaggeration! Isn't this the only way to maximize benefits?"

"So what can you offer me?"

"I can help you find any goods you want, and I can also sell those shady things for you, and I only need to charge a very small fee, which is lower than all the brokers in the entire landing port. I can also provide you with the real hiding place of those pirates at the dock. Instead of killing those puppets of the Federation, it would be more satisfying to directly kill their leaders here.

You also know that no organization like ours would reveal their true hiding place publicly, and I have my own intelligence channels. Even though they are just pirates, they have their own strengths to gain a foothold in the port of call."

"It seems like a good proposal! I accept Jie Yi!"

"It's been a pleasure to serve you."
