Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 76: Unifying Agathos
With the bottom nest also under control, Agathos was now almost completely back in Gao Yi's hands.

Gao Yi, sitting at his desk, looked at Kerrigan running around the room. Kerrigan seemed to have endless energy.

The only thing that worries Gao Yi is that Kerrigan eats really a lot. Her food consumption alone is equivalent to the food consumption of two or three hundred people. However, one good thing is that Kerrigan is not picky about food. Anything that contains nutrition or energy can be her food.

Gao Yi even saw Kerrigan swallow an energy battery directly, and after eating it, she was still smacking her lips, feeling unsatisfied.

But it was all worth it. Using Kerrigan's ability, Gao Yi caught all the hidden thieves, and Gao Yi also thought of arrangements for these thieves.

Those strange planets on the star map were tailor-made for them.

It would not be appropriate to allow this group of cunning believers to continue to stay on Agathos. The threat posed by the Tyranids to the Empire is too great. Even if the Empire knew about it as a high-minded merchant, it would definitely not end well for him.

However, it would be a waste to kill this group of controllable model workers. They could be used to mine and develop unexplored planets on the star map. With Kerrigan's presence, there is no need to worry about these guys betraying us, and the mines on Agaroth can also be filled with this group of people.

The cunning believers of the Bottom Nest were secretly transported away from the planet bit by bit by Gao Yi's Rangers and temporarily placed in some transport ships in orbit and sent to Agaros.

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.

It was Governor Rebecca who pushed the door open.

Looking at the lively Kerrigan, Rebecca also liked her very much. Although she was also curious about the extra girl among the Rogue Traders, she didn't say much.

The Monget Dynasty has never been as unified as it is now, and there has never been a traveling merchant as powerful as Gao Yi.

At this time, Gao Yi controlled everything in Agassos, including the economy, military force, scientific research, and religion, which also allowed all of Gao Yi's political orders to be implemented smoothly.

There was no wrangling or buck-passing, which made everything seem particularly smooth, and everything was proceeding according to Gao Yi's will.

The Mechanicus here is managed by Pavian. After witnessing the power of the SCV and the large number of STCs, all the surviving members of the Mechanicus in Agassus joined the Holy Mechanicus faction formed by Pavian. More and more faiths began to converge in Gao Yi's subspace projection.

Moreover, Holt, the current leader of the state religion, is completely in cahoots with Gao Yi. While promoting the Divine Emperor, he also promotes Gao Yi as a living saint.

It can even be said that once the Monget Dynasty leaves Gao Yi, it will immediately lose the capital to survive in the expansion area.

The hostile factions in the Monget Dynasty were almost wiped out in the rebellion caused by Chaos. Some of them are even still imprisoned awaiting public trial. The remaining nobles are all loyal to Gao Yi's family, and no one would make trouble behind the scenes for the sake of profit.

In the past, candidates for the Rogue Merchant position in the Monget Dynasty were selected through assessment and competition from several bloodline families, but now if Gao Yi said that he wanted to make this girl the next Rogue Merchant heir, no one would say anything.

However, according to Gao Yi's current age and the average lifespan of the nobles in Warhammer, Gao Yi can still rule the Monget Dynasty for at least a hundred years.

"My lord, the Lower Nest has begun to resume production. Although the population has dropped by 45 percent since the rebellion, production capacity has returned to 90 percent of normal levels.

Thanks to your factories, more workers can now switch from producing weapons and equipment to producing other necessities, and your policies have also boosted the enthusiasm of these workers!"

As the governor, Rebecca was very happy. She had thought that it would take a long time for Agathos to get out of the post-war haze, but she did not expect that it would almost recover to the level of its heyday in such a short time. Nothing could make her happier than this.

As more and more refugees returned to the Lower Nest, the Upper Nest, which was almost in ruins, began to be rebuilt.

And the good news doesn't end there. The first round of grain harvest in Omilon will soon begin.

Although the output is only 20% of the previous level, it is still a good start.

After listening to Rebecca's report, Will and Pavian, who were waiting outside, also came in.

The two looked at each other, each obviously having something to report to Gao Yi. "Weir, you go first."

"My lord, the projects you planned have already begun implementation. The first batch of students to enter Zhongsi Academy has been selected. The academy will assign them to different majors based on their abilities and test scores. People have also been sent to Dichao to implement the universalization of education, but it's unlikely to be effective in such a short period of time.

However, many people are still willing to participate due to the incentives in kind.

As for those psychics you mentioned who were accidentally awakened during the riot, they have all been gathered together. As the steward, I shouldn't be trying to understand your intentions, but I still want to remind you that these people are very dangerous, and execution may be the safest method."

"No need. I have a way to accommodate them. Keep the soldiers watching these psychics and tell them I won't harm them."

Because of the severe Chaos corruption in the Underhive, the barrier between reality and the Warp became fragile, and the previous extreme situation also caused some people to inadvertently awaken their psychic talents. Some people were corrupted and joined the Chaos traitors and were eventually killed. Some people temporarily controlled their psychic powers and hid themselves.

However, it is impossible for some people who cannot even read to fully control their psychic powers, and the resulting loss of control over psychic powers also allows PDFs to discover these people.

A total of 20 discovered psykers are being held in strict custody. Their psyker levels are not particularly high, and those with higher levels are likely to have been corrupted by the Warp during the riots.

Gao Yi planned to transform all these people into ghosts in the barracks, and this ghost army would be led by Norris. Since there were very few survivors of the Death Worship Cult in the previous battle, there was no longer much risk.

The deaths of a large number of elite assassins caused the Death Worship Cult to enter a period of transition.

After living a good life, Gao Yi believed that no one would be willing to join such an extreme sect. The surviving Death Worshipping assassins were also used as instructors to train these ghosts, and they would also be part of Gao Yi's assassination team.

"The integration and statistics of the army are also underway! Previously, due to the state of war, there was no spare capacity and no time for integration. According to Governor Rebecca's statistics, the number of PDFs under your command has reached 70. These people are equipped with combat uniforms, and the enthusiasm of the dynasty to join the army is particularly high.

The best 3 of them have been fully equipped with ceramic steel combat uniforms, and these people have been incorporated into the Rangers.

Due to insufficient alloy production, and the need to produce other vehicles, your factory could otherwise be running at full capacity, producing tens of thousands of combat uniforms every day."

"My lord, there are two more matters: the public trial of the remaining traitors, and the ceremony you are to prepare."

"ceremony?"

"Yes, the ceremony on the flagship was just a simple procedure. Now that the Dynasty World has returned to your hands, you should tell the entire expansion area that the Monget Dynasty has a new owner. If others know the power of the Dynasty, it will be of great benefit to the Dynasty's exploration teams and merchant ships.

When others try to attack us, we will also consider whether we can bear the consequences of provoking the dynasty. Most importantly, you can also get to know some other Rogue Traders. Although dynasties are in a competitive relationship, if there are common interests, they can also cooperate with each other.

Weir explained to Gao Yi.

After hearing this, Gao Yi also had an idea in his mind.

"In the past, were they only inviting wandering merchants to participate?"

"It is indeed the case."

"What if we invite other departments of the empire? What if we ask them to participate as well?"

"This has certainly never happened before. After all, the dynasty is somewhat involved in illegal and unorthodox matters, so it's not appropriate to let these official departments of the empire come in."

"Illegal? What's illegal? Will, is there anything more profitable than the arms business? The combat uniform business is enough for us to make a lot of money. Send invitations to all the important departments for me and ask them to send representatives. The dynasty may be able to earn a lot of funds and materials this time. After all, there are many things that the dynasty's nest city does not have the production capacity.

We can use the dynasty's specialties to exchange benefits with other forces!"
