Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 95 Trade Center
While Gao Yi was using this group of young technicians to complete his plan, some changes were also taking place in the Kronus expansion area.

Alien attacks on the territories of various human planets are becoming more and more frequent.

Especially the Dark Eldar, they frequently attacked the worlds and fleets of the Human Empire. No one knew why these Dark Eldar suddenly became so crazy.

And there are rumors that some unknown changes have taken place in the dark city belonging to these blasphemous alien races.

Even the Imperial Navy fleet was attacked by an entire Chaos fleet. After destroying the patrolling Imperial Navy fleet, Chaos once again hid back in the Warp.

The Empire's psykers with prophetic abilities seemed to have received some revelation, and the Empire's fleet began to move more frequently.

But no matter what happened inside, the increasingly chaotic situation in the expansion area has led to an increasing demand for weapons and equipment from various forces.

At this time, Agathos can be said to be undergoing new changes every day.

At this time, Agathos has become a trade center for nearby galaxies.

The influx of people from various worlds allowed the population level of this world to recover rapidly, and Pavian quietly used the newly built warships to go to the new food factory of the Monget Dynasty and transported back a large number of processed mushroom people.

And these foods also support Agathos to have a larger population.

Just as Gao Yi had once thought, these newly arrived people originally thought that they were just expendable goods, and would work until death in dark mines, or in factories full of toxic waste until death. What scared them most was whether they would become living consumables for certain experiments and technologies.

But when they came to Agathos, a world unknown to them, they found that they might really be blessed by the God-Emperor.

The kind Anglican priests helped them resolve their uneasy emotions, and the armored soldiers healed their bodies, which were filled with numerous hidden illnesses, using methods they did not understand.

However, in addition to the Divine Emperor, these priests also mentioned a living saint named Gao Yi.

The pastor said that his current life was given to him!

However, the soldiers will still take away the mutants sent in by other dynasties. The dynasty only needs normal humans. Even the Mongert Dynasty does not intend to take in these mutants who may cause chaos corruption, regardless of whether they are innocent or have become mutants for other reasons.

Gao Yi's kindness also has its bottom line. At least he has no way to save these people now, and other workers will have no objection to the treatment of mutants. Not only the dynasty is afraid of these people, but the civilians of the empire also hate mutants.

Later, other workers said that the purgatory-like life they had imagined did not happen.

What awaits them is clean housing, clean clothes and plenty of food that they had never imagined before. Although they still have to squeeze into crowded dormitories with dozens of other people, it is much better than their previous life.

The foremen and officials here also explained the system of Agathos to these new populations. For the first time, these populations that were not needed by other dynasties had the concept of wages.

Although the workload will still be high and hard, at least they can eat well, dress warmly and survive.

With the influx of a large number of people, there were also spies from other forces, or followers of certain chaos cults. Almost every transport ship could catch some problematic people among the people brought in.

As a member of the Agassus Tribunal branch, Ian is responsible for these aspects of the work. Although his work is still heavy, it is much easier than he imagined.

The authority given by Gao Yi gave him a lot of soldiers to mobilize, which was much more power than when he worked under Derek.

While searching for heretics, he also discovered that a special force was clearing out the unstable factors in Agassus.

He asked Rebecca, and Rebecca also said she didn't know.

When he wanted to investigate, an assassin from the Death Cult found him and gave him Gao Yi's proof. This made him realize that Gao Yi, the wandering trader, had other forces under the surface to maintain the stability of Agathos. These people Ian mentioned were the ghosts led by Norris. Under the training of the Death Cult assassins, their combat effectiveness was further improved.

Ghosts who can become invisible, teleport, use mind control, and act in groups are the best agents operating in secret.

The Death Cult's mysterious way of searching for humanity's enemies also played a big role. Their ability to detect aliens and even chaos was sometimes beyond the reach of Ian, the Inquisitor.

Moreover, the population registration system that was developed at great expense at least put most of the people in Agathos under the management of the dynasty.

Only those who are registered can enjoy the preferential policies of the Mongols Dynasty.

With the support of these policies, if you are still unwilling to register, there is only one possibility: there is definitely something wrong with you. Without registration information, you will hardly be able to take a single step in Agathos. Whether it is work points or extra money, they are all registered under your identity information.

As for most people who support the dynasty, they will also take the initiative to report those with problems to the law enforcement team. The life they have finally obtained has given them human dignity, and they, like their own traveling merchants, will not allow others to destroy this hard-earned gift.

All registered people need to undergo body mutation testing.

This filtered out many of the destabilizing factors in the dynasty.

The starport that was once abandoned due to rebellion was reopened.

Fleets belonging to the dynasty and large merchant ships from various forces also docked here.

Every day, a large amount of population, materials and minerals are transported to the surface of Agathos via the space elevator, which accelerates the development of Agathos.

The same sets of combat uniforms and weapons also traveled to various worlds on these merchant ships.

With the continuous expansion of the army, the number of PDF soldiers of the Monget Dynasty has reached one million.

Armored regiments consisting of siege tanks and flying squadrons such as Liberators and Banshees are also under construction.

Only aircraft types that require proficiency, such as the Viking fighter, are still in the process of being adjusted. Otherwise, even the most skilled pilots in the interstellar world may crush themselves to death during the transformation.

After several months of non-stop production at the barracks, combat uniforms have filled the warehouses and covered every soldier, with some even overflowing.

Rebecca also increased the trade volume of combat uniforms with Gao Yi's permission.

As Pavian's reverse engineering of jump technology and quantum communications continues to deepen, the resources he consumes are also increasing.

Many equipments need to be purchased from the Mechanicus at high prices.

As the Order of the Holy Mechanics spread throughout the Expanse, many members of the order seeking new knowledge and technologies also came to Agathos.

After witnessing the SCV and the Order of the Holy Mechanicus' special ability to please and purify, many priests chose to join the Order of the Holy Mechanicus.

However, although it improved Agathos's scientific research and manufacturing capabilities, it also greatly increased its financial expenditure.

This meant that Rebecca had to review and approve a large number of funding applications from these priests every day.

This caused many quarrels between Rebecca and Pavian. She scolded Pavian for not knowing how expensive food and daily necessities were, but she had to meet their demands as much as possible. After all, what they did was too important to the dynasty.
