Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 183 The Spirit Clan, Each with Their Own Hidden agendas

"Apart from these creatures, all the other experimental subjects are dead, but they seem to have stopped expanding! What should we do next? Should we report to Lord Tevantias?"

"They seem to have stopped expanding now that the enemy is gone. Don't worry, didn't Lord Tevantias say he could control these creatures? The thing that made Lord Tevantias put down his experiments must be very important. If you disturb him, you know what will happen."

As they spoke, the two Dark Elf race members couldn't help but shudder.

No creature in this world would want to fall into the hands of the Bloodthirsty People.

"Just record the data carefully and make sure these organisms don't cause any problems!"

After some thought, they decided not to interfere too much with the Zerg to avoid upsetting Tevantias.

Unbeknownst to them, Abathur had already begun controlling the Zerg towards the edge of the testing grounds. The edge of the testing grounds was equipped with isolation and early warning facilities. The deadly plasma wall would vaporize any creature that approached, and once triggered, it would also alarm the nearby Eldar.

However, among the Zerg, there is a special unit called the Viper, which can briefly release a sticky mixture that can be used to paralyze energy-based facilities.

Taking advantage of the brief malfunction of a small portion of the facilities, several worker bees quietly left the experimental site.

The flying serpent crashed directly into the plasma wall and turned into charcoal, misleading the Dark Eldar who came to investigate.

Only when they are no longer under surveillance can the swarm truly develop unchecked.

Meanwhile, Tevantias arrived at the upper spire of Comoros, unaware that the experimental subject he thought he had complete control over had quietly slipped out of his grasp.

Tevantias was located at the center of power in the Comoros, but the surrounding buildings were in a state of disrepair.

The once magnificent architectural complex now appears as if it has been severely ravaged by war.

Tevantias also met Victor at this time.

Looking at the gloomy Eldar sitting on the throne before him, Tevantias also became much more restrained.

Even when facing the overlord of Youdu, he had to be careful.

The person before me is the one who brought the Comoros together. Time has left no trace on his face, yet his lifespan can be traced back to before the great fall of the Eldar.

Viktor was originally just a slave, but this once insignificant slave climbed to his current position step by step through his wisdom and ruthlessness.

The city-states in the Comoros that refused to submit to him were destroyed in his hands, and countless once great figures of the Comoros died at his hands.

Those who wanted to kill him, however, failed.

At this moment, standing next to Victor was a clown, none other than the clown prophet Lemir, who had attacked Gao Yi before.

“Victor, the troupe helped you kill those who tried to destroy you and helped you resurrect. Is this how you repay the God of Laughter’s grace?”

Lemir was furious. In fact, the villains had been pushing Viktor to power behind the scenes.

However, when he arrived here and tried to persuade Viktor to use his position to have the Dark Eldar in the Comoros destroy the Montgomery dynasty, Viktor kept making excuses.

Lemir had witnessed the power of the Montgomery dynasty firsthand, and he knew that the intrigue groups Viktor had sent to appease him were utterly incapable of shaking the Montgomery dynasty's rule in the expanding region; at most, they would only cause some trouble for the humans.

“Prophet Lemir, perhaps you can tell me the location of those Death Army soldiers. In exchange, I can do my best to destroy that so-called Montgomery Dynasty. You know very well that the growth of those Death Army soldiers is inseparable from your help.”

Viktor toyed with the dagger in his hand, speaking without any politeness.

Viktor had no interest in these clowns' pursuit of rebuilding the Eldar empire of the past.

He was born in that era himself, and he knew very well how decadent that so-called glory was. He witnessed the fall of the empire.

To him, that ethereal empire was utterly pointless, and ever since the Laughing God began funding the Death Army, Victor had completely lost trust in these clowns who never took sides. He didn't know if humanity would truly devour the entire galaxy as these clowns predicted, but the existence of the Death Army, namely Regent Evelynn, undeniably shook the very foundations of his rule.

More and more Dark Eldar are becoming followers of Death and choosing to follow Evefeya. The ruins near the Spire are a result of Evefeya destroying the portal when she escaped from Comoros, allowing demons to invade Comoros.

Prophecy? Until it is truly fulfilled, it will always remain just a prophecy. How many prophecies known by those who claim to be prophets who can see a corner of the future have not come true?
Faced with Viktor's demands, Lemir remained silent. The Death Army was also a bargaining chip chosen by the Laughing God, and he had no right to interfere.

Tevantias watched the two argue indifferently, feeling utterly disgusted by both Victor and the buffoon.

You're unlikely to find genuine collaborators in Comoros.

“Victor, what do you want to see me about? My experiment is at a critical stage.”

"Tevantias, it seems you've made a breakthrough in your research on the biological samples those buffoons gave you?"

"Perhaps, it's a very interesting species!"

“Is that so? That’s certainly interesting. I can even sense psionic energy in this city. Tevantias, I don’t want Comoros to face another demonic invasion.”

"Bloodlings! Don't have too much faith in your biotechnology. These creatures are far more powerful than you imagine. What the Eldar need to know is their weakness!"

Lemire also said at the same time.

Upon hearing this, Tevantias's face darkened, and the countless limbs of the creatures behind him began to writhe, preparing for battle.

He knew why Victor said that; an increase in the number of Zerg swarms would inevitably lead to the hatching of more Overlords, and an increase in the number of Overlords would also mean that the special psionic energy belonging to the Zerg was becoming increasingly powerful.

Viktor knew that the results of his experiment meant that he had informants even among his own men.

Are you spying on me, Viktor?

"Spying on you? I am the true ruler of Comoros! Remember that. There is one more thing I need your association to do. A group of humans from the so-called Montgomery dynasty have escaped from the slave owners' prison. The lower levels are your Bloodling territory. I need you to help me find them."

There are still some Astartes among the humans who slipped through the net at the bottom. I know why you haven't eliminated them yet; you just want to use them as test subjects. Comoros doesn't need any variables now!

Viktor's control over the Comoros exceeded everyone's expectations. Even the most trivial matters were constantly on his mind. Viktor was also curious about how these humans managed to bring their combat suits into the Comoros.

After saying that, Victor stood up and left the hall.

The clown also disappeared, leaving only Tevantias.

Did he really intend to follow Victor's orders? In his eyes, how could the great Bloodlink obey someone else's commands?

He can kill the fleeing humans and Astartes, but he can't possibly eliminate the Zerg. If he can figure out how the Zerg carry so many genes, he might be able to create unparalleled creatures. At that time, the entire Comoros, no! The entire galaxy will tremble before him.

Burns and Argus of the Salamanders were unaware that their attempts to conceal themselves had been exposed and that a purge against them was imminent.

Gao Yi's gaze also temporarily shifted away from Comoros.

The seeds have already been planted.

Now all Gao Yi has to do is wait, wait for the swarm to grow stronger, and wait for the humans at the bottom to gain more power!
The more important target now is the Eldar's Ark World. These Eldar, who are lurking in the shadows and making underhanded moves, are key to the Protoss's growth.

Nearly two months have passed, and the modification of the Star Pioneer is nearing completion. Gabriel has already arrived in the expansion area with his Blood Raven.

After assessing his own resources, Gao Yi felt it was time to take action against the Ark Spirit Clan.
