Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 27 Hostile Traders
After taking a deep breath, Gao Yi's mood calmed down a lot.

Gao Yi certainly knows how much of a cesspool this world is, and perhaps many things are necessary or helpless.

But Gao Yi still believed that he should do something he could do.

The food and supplies Gao Yi donated were nothing to him, but they were invaluable to the crew members.

He doesn't care what happens to others, but at least he wants his crew to live a better life.

At least let them think about whether it is worth it when they are forced to make a mixed shot.

After receiving these sailors, Gao Yi checked the information sent by Tantos.

"Are those guys from the Void Alliance really wanted me? Upon hearing this, the Divine Emperor would have to stand up from his Golden Throne and give those two psychic bastards a beating, right?"

The corners of Will's mouth twitched. In the past few days, he had heard his captain say some words that could be considered blasphemous. But fortunately, Gao Yi only said that in front of him. He was still a loyal believer in front of outsiders.

"Captain, I think we should stop saying things like that, just in case someone overhears us."

"I know, I know!"

Will could not reveal these words. He believed in the God-Emperor, but the interests of the dynasty still came first in front of him. The number of true fanatics of the God-Emperor was far less than imagined.

"Those pirates have been cornered. As soon as the Halo Creation incident broke out, the Inquisition's Imperial Navy launched a full-scale attack on their strongholds and fleets. Hundreds of charred corpses are still lying in the square at their landing port."

The pirates who were captured and burned at the stake served as a warning to others, and these charred corpses would not be cleaned up in a short time.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the Inquisition is still so cruel."

Gao Yi continued to look through the information sent by Tantos, but when he thought that all the news today would be good news, he saw a piece of bad news.

Weier also saw Gao Yi's gloomy face.

He walked to Gao Yi and took the document from Gao Yi's hand.

"Omiron 2 was forcibly occupied?! And this happened over a month ago?"

"Will, what's going on with the Suarez dynasty?"

"The dispute between the Suarez dynasty and our dynasty has been going on for more than a year or two, and their dynasty is much smaller than ours.

They have attacked our merchant ships, and we have retaliated by destroying their trading posts. We both have a blood feud, but this is the first time we have attacked each other's planets. Their trade licenses are only granted by the star zone lords. They have tarnished the name of Rogue Traders. They are more like a group of privateers!
Their Rogue Trader, Canto Sureas, was more like a madman. Honesty was worthless to him, and there were even rumors that he was colluding with aliens and even heretics! The Inquisition had investigated him but found nothing. When Lord Ludwig was there, he had always been suppressed, so no major problems had occurred.

"God Emperor, what courage do they have to attack our planet?" Weier was even more excited than Gao Yi.

"What is it? What could it be? He just thought that the Monget Dynasty had lost its Rogue Traders and had become a lamb to be slaughtered!"

Gao Yi also learned about the territory of the Mongot family from the original memories of this body. The capital of the dynasty was in the Agathos galaxy.

There are three planets in the galaxy, and the capital is also named Agathos. It is a huge hive world.

Agaros is an industrial planet. A Mechanicus that cooperates with the Dynasty produces a large number of industrial products and weapons and equipment for the Dynasty to use for trade and to arm itself.

Agarans is a mining planet, and the majority of its minerals are used to supply the Forge Worlds for production. There are no suitable agricultural worlds in the system, and Omilon II is the only agricultural world belonging to the Monget Dynasty. The dynasty's transport ships regularly travel to Omilon II, providing the food needed to feed the billions of people on three planets. In addition to these planets, the Monget Dynasty also owns a number of mineral resource points scattered across various worlds.

Under normal circumstances, a world like Omilon 2 has the Monget Dynasty's planetary defense fleet. The fleet does not have large battleships, but it also has a total of 10 destroyers and frigates for defense. Even if this number of fleets cannot defeat the opponent, they will still have time to send distress signals to the surrounding galaxies or the capital.

There are also a large number of planetary defense forces on the surface of the planet.

However, after losing the Rogue Trader, the Monget Dynasty fell into a long period of chaos. The lack of management and the fact that half of the fleet was withdrawn back to Agathos to participate in the civil strife meant that the fleet in orbit around Omilon 2 did not have time to wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

"Doesn't the Empire care about this kind of invasion?"

"The Empire doesn't think this is just a trade dispute between wandering traders."

"Will, when I return to the capital, it's time for a major shakeup of the World Dynasty! These insects are not worthy of the name of the dynasty!"

"But, the relationships between these large families are very complicated. They control every aspect. Will this have a huge impact?"

"Only by removing the necrotic part can we gain new life! And I believe there are always families loyal to the dynasty, right? For example, your family?"

Hearing Gao Yi's words, Weil was delighted. He was already the flagship manager following the wandering merchant, but his family was not a big family in the dynasty.

Weil does not have the blood of a dynasty in his body. It is not easy for a latecomer to achieve this. Now Gao Yi is giving him and his family an opportunity to hold a high position. How could he not know it?

"How's the repair of the Golden Ram going?"

"It's almost finished. The capabilities of the SCV you brought are truly astonishing. Aside from some damage to the exterior, it's completely sailable again. Repairs to the Sword Rain will also be completed soon."

"Get the crew ready! We'll take care of Omilon first, then return to the Capital World!"

As Gao Yi's order was issued, all the people serving the Monget Dynasty in the port became busy.

A large amount of daily necessities were transported into the cargo hold of the warship. After experiencing the benefits of cooperating with Gao Yi, Jie Yi worked even harder. It was much better to have a traveling merchant by her side than to fight alone.

The senior advisor on the warship told him that Jie Yi was expanding her power under his name. Gao Yi didn't care about it. He lacked a suitable person in his landing port, and Jie Yi was a good fit. At least his ability to raise supplies and gather information was worth Gao Yi's small investment in him.

As long as Jieyi doesn't do anything heretical, Gao Yi plans to ignore it.

Huge macrocannon shells were also provided by the Mechanicus and transported into the battleship.

These huge shells cost a lot of money to buy. You should know that under normal circumstances, the order will not provide them for free. They will charge for every bullet and every gun.

Now it is provided to Gao Yi free of charge.

Gao Yi was also observing the newly joined boatmen and naval soldiers.

Despite the improved pay, the boatmen maintained their enthusiasm for work. Although they were a little nervous when they heard that they might have to join a battle, they felt more at ease after other survivors spread the word about the strength of the Rogue Trader and his soldiers.

The performance of the navy soldiers was much better than that of the crew members. The fact that they were still making battle preparations in an orderly manner showed that the navy at least did not fool them with any inferior equipment.

The salary Gao Yi offered to these soldiers was much higher than serving in the navy.
