Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 58 Food in Place
The Holy Inquisitor's shattered body still remained on the ground. At this moment, every corner of the palace was filled with soldiers to prevent any accidents.

In the messy reception room, almost all of Gao Yi's important personnel were present.

"Lord, please give me the punishment I deserve and strip me of my position as governor. It was my fault that you were attacked in your palace!" Rebecca knelt aside with a guilty look on her face.

She didn't dare to think about what would happen to the planet if Gao Yi died.

"Forget it, stand up, Rebecca. Didn't he fail? And Agathos can't live without you either."

The Holy Judge's body was extremely flexible, and God knew which ventilation hole or sewer he would crawl out from. Gao Yi could only order people to check the entire palace and reinforce all the entrances and exits of the pipes.

Ian was also squatting on the ground at this time. He was examining the shattered body of the Holy Inquisitor. He looked at the body and then at Holt.

"Bishop Holt, you shouldn't have used such a heavy hand. It's difficult to verify the other party's identity now."

"Heavy hands? These scum actually dared to harm the Living Saint appointed by the Divine Emperor! Even burning them with molten iron dozens of times wouldn't be too much!"

"A living saint appointed by the Divine Emperor?"

"That's right, the Divine Emperor issued an oracle. He told me this himself!"

Gao Yi also mobilized the spiritual energy absorbed from the black sun in a timely manner.

The whole person was enveloped in a layer of golden light.

Holt's words, coupled with the golden glow on Gao Yi's body, forced Ian to choose to believe it, even though it was completely contrary to common sense.

If it is said that these priests may also be bewitched by evil gods.

The spiritual energy fluctuations faintly released from Gao Yi at this time completely confirmed his identity as a living saint.

As a psychic, Ian also felt the power of the God-Emperor. He had sensed it when he was at the Terra Psychic Academy, and he would never forget it in his life.

Everyone in the room looked at Gao Yi in surprise, and those who belonged to the dynasty were pleasantly surprised by Gao Yi's new identity.

The identity of a Rogue Trader already has a lot of buffs, and now with the buff of a Living Saint, wouldn’t he be able to expand the area at will?

Ian's eyes widened. The traveling trader he was asked to observe suddenly turned into a living saint?
"Inquisitor Ian, there's no need to wonder where this assassin came from."

"They are aliens called Inquisitors from the Tyranid Genestealer Church!"

"Genestealer?"

Some people may not be aware that the Chronus Expanse has rarely been invaded on a large scale by Tyranid tentacles.

But as a member of the Alien Inquisition, how could Ian not know these powerful aliens that brought disaster to the empire?

"God Emperor, how could this group of terrifying aliens appear on this planet?"

"Inquisitor, you don't need to worry too much. They haven't developed to the point where they're out of control yet. The invasion from Chaos should have a significant impact on them."

"So what do you plan to do?"

"The intelligence from the nuns tells me that the Genestealers should be in the lower nest of the hive city. Once my army enters the lower nest, I will immediately organize a raid!"

"Lord Gao Yi, you must speed up. Once the scale is reached, it may attract the tentacles of the insect nest!"

"This is my planet. I'm more anxious than you are. Don't worry! Will, have someone clean up this place."

Gao Yi knew that he was destined not to be able to sleep tonight.

On the highest balcony of the palace, Gao Yi overlooked Shangchao.

The upper nest, which was originally brightly lit day and night, now only had the necessary lighting equipment on.

After the lower nest's energy supply to the upper nest is cut off, the upper nest's own energy must be supplied to defense facilities and production.

Civilian energy was almost reduced to the minimum. "Captain! A large fleet has entered the Agassus system!"

The fleet in orbit sent a communication to Gao Yi.

"Fleet! Where is the fleet from?"

"It's the Wintersky Dynasty's fleet! The enemy's Rogue Traders are also aboard. They've sent a communication request, requesting to land on Agathos!"

Hearing this, Gao Yi knew that the food he bought had arrived!
"We agree to his landing request, but only allow him to bring a small number of guards!"

Gao Yi knew that this guy had been corrupted by Khorne, but he just didn't realize it.

He also has a follower of Khorne hiding with him.

I just don't know how corrupted he is compared to how he is in the game.

Gao Yi called Will and Rebecca, who were busy, and asked them to arrange a decent welcoming ceremony.

Soon, a large number of transport ships arrived above Agathos, and a large amount of food was transported to a fixed location as required.

After a quick inventory of the food, it was determined that the amount was enough for Agathos to sustain until Omiron resumed production.

The shuttle carrying Gorigos also landed in the square in front of the palace.

Gao Yi stood not far away, and two rows of rangers stood on both sides of the road.

When Gorigos walked out of the shuttle and saw the rangers on both sides, his eyes showed longing.

Gao Yi looked at Gorigos. Compared to the game, the other party looked more muscular, and the muscles under his clothes were about to explode.

But this time, Gorigos was not accompanied by his chief warrior, the gray-spotted Volten who had corrupted him in the game.

Gorigos strode over, but when he got in front of Gao Yi, he felt unwell all over.

I even feel my desire to fight has decreased...

"Strange..." Gorigos had not yet realized that Gao Yi's ability to purify the negative influence of the warp had reduced the constant influence of Khorne's corruption on him to a certain extent.

Gao Yi looked at the rising 1 point of psychic crystal balance and was sure that the Gorigos here was indeed affected by Khorne's corruption, but it was not yet to the point where it could not be handled.

Otherwise, Gorigos wouldn't have just felt a little uncomfortable.

"Lord Gorigos, are you alright?"

"It's okay... You're quite an odd person, Gao Yi Mengte? I didn't expect you to resolve the siege of Upper Nest in such a short time. Previous intelligence told me that your Upper Nest was about to fall. I was thinking of joining in the fun and chopping off a few traitors' heads!"

"Those traitors aren't worth mentioning. There are still some guys hiding in the lower nest, but they will be dealt with soon. By the way, where is your chief warrior? Why isn't he with you?"

Gao Yi asked tentatively.

"Interesting! Are you interested in my chief warrior? I discovered a fleet of Ark Eldar, and I asked him to deal with those aliens. If it weren't for fulfilling my deal with you, I would have chopped off their heads myself."

There was a sense of pity in Gorigos' words.

"Perhaps you should pay attention to your chief warrior. Is his desire for battle too exaggerated?"

"Huh? Gao Yi! It's not your turn to take charge of the affairs of my dynasty's chief warrior!"

Gao Yi did not directly tell Gorigos that Volten was a believer of Khorne, just as he would not believe it if Gorigos said that Weil was a believer of Chaos, and even felt that the other party was provoking him.

How could Gorigos question his loyal servant who had accompanied him through countless battles just because of Gao Yi's words?
"Hmph! Stop wasting your time. You should know why I'm here. To complete our transaction. Isn't that Jie Yi a liar? Aren't you going to give me the thing?"

"Of course not. Everything is prepared for you."
