Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 284 Cypher, the One Being Targeted
Viktor was tempted.
It must be said that Lemir's offer was very generous. The clowns held a very special position in the Eldar. If the other party could openly support them, their position would be even more secure. And if, as Lemir said, the Zerg came from Gao Yi, this human.

He had no reason not to retaliate against the other party's provocation and current actions.
Viktor granted Lemir's request, and soon news of the clowns' support for Viktor spread quickly throughout the Comoros thanks to Viktor's deliberate efforts.

Viktor didn't care whether the Eldar could unify the race; he hated the former Eldar Empire and only cared about his own power. As long as the current cooperation was beneficial to him, that was enough.

Even disregarding the Laughing God's orders, the Zerg's wavering in their control was enough to make Viktor want to kill Gao Yi.

The clowns began to use their abilities and infiltration skills to delve into the lower levels to find Abathur's location for Lemir, and the Death Army's whereabouts in the Webway were also exposed to Viktor.

Under Victor's orders, groups of conspirators began to leave Comoros en masse, using the Internet to reach the expansion zone.

Some headed towards human planets within the expanded region, while others rushed towards the location of the Death Army.

Viktor opened the treasure trove he had accumulated throughout his long life, taking out a large number of cutting-edge weapons that once belonged to the Eldar and a vast amount of supplies to arm his conspiracy group.

Reports of a large-scale attack began to be sent to Agathos in quick succession.

At this time, Gao Yi also returned to Agathos.

Gao Yi's fleet began a series of warp jumps and quickly returned to the long-lost Argasus.

When Gao Yi returned to Argas, the club had made significant progress in less than two years.

The emergence of trading platforms led to a several-fold increase in merchant ships, with astronomical amounts of goods arriving or leaving the planet, and the total population of the entire planet nearly doubling.

However, despite the expansion of the population, the planet's natural environment has not been damaged much. From orbit, a patch of green can still be seen. Industry and ecology have achieved a rare balance with the support of technology.

Meanwhile, many planetary factions within the expanded region are also attempting to replicate the glory of Agathos.

Under the patronage of the Montgomery dynasty, the expanded region experienced unprecedented prosperity.

One by one, the noble offspring who graduated from the Academy of Agasos returned to their own planets, replicating the laws of the Montgomery Dynasty to some extent. Although it was impossible to brainwash these offspring sufficiently in a short period of time, the knowledge and ideas they learned here still influenced the entire expansion area.

This has significantly improved the lives of many people at the bottom of society within the expanded area.

The dynasty also did not allow the emergence of cruel tyrants within its subordinate forces.

Several massive starports and space elevators would be needed in the planet's orbit to meet the current demands.

The defense platforms in the void were built densely to ensure the safety of the entire star system.

Taking out these defensive platforms alone would be enough to wipe out an entire enemy fleet.

"Are you sure this planet is the capital of your dynasty? Even Macurag can't compare to it now..."

Pherous looked down at Agathos from the porthole.

"Not bad, right? It's still a bit far from what I expected, but at least the lives of the people of my dynasty are decent. After all, this was the third one I envisioned..."

"The third what?"

"Nothing, nothing..."

Gao Yi sighed with relief that Felus had died young and was unaware of the fate of his other three brothers…

Once they actually reached the surface, Feralas gained a more reasonable understanding of the lives of the people Gao Yi had described...

He had never seen such a standard of living in the Empire, not even in the already top-tier Alteramar.

The vibrant business environment allows residents to acquire substantial wealth beyond their regular jobs, which in turn improves their lives.

Even Felix couldn't help but admire Gao Yi's wealth. Maintaining such a lifestyle required a considerable amount of resources. If it were Guilliman, he wouldn't invest so many resources in people's livelihoods; he would rather manufacture more weapons and equipment.

Leave Feralas in orbit to await the reinforcements from the Steel Hand, who will be a crucial asset in the coming days.

Upon returning to his palace, Gao Yi immediately received Rebecca and Cypher.

Upon seeing Gao Yi, Cipher couldn't wait to speak to him.

"Lord Gaoyi, you once said you could resurrect the great Lion King."

Before Gao Yi could speak, Rebecca walked up with a long face and interrupted Cipher.

"Lord Gao Yi, although I shouldn't overturn your decision, Lord Cipher has indeed caused us a lot of trouble..."

"trouble?"

"Yes! A Dark Angel warship entered the expansion zone, even ignoring warnings and forcibly entering the planet's surface to conduct searches, sometimes even causing conflicts with the defense forces."

Because of their special status, the dynasty didn't react violently, but what if they knew Lord Cipher was with us and tried to force their way into Argasus? Should we retaliate?

Gao Yi did not tell Rebecca the secrets of the Second Empire, but he did tell her about the conflict between Cypher and the Dark Angels, warning her to be wary of the Dark Angels who might appear.

Hearing this, Gao Yi also felt a headache coming on. It was impossible for Sefer to keep what he had done in Agrippina a secret from these guys.

To protect civilians from the threat of the Nurgle plague, Gao Yi even helped Cypher expand the influence of the Emperor's Voice.

Those dark angels have noses that are sharper than dogs when it comes to finding fallen angels.

The location where Cypher, the number one fallen angel, appeared was precisely the area occupied by the High-Ranking Rangers.

Gao Yi knew that the Dark Angel suspected him, and he even felt that the fact that the other party hadn't directly attacked to silence him was already a sign of restraint.

These black angels must have their own unique methods for tracking down these fallen angels, otherwise how could the group of Deathwing Ravenwings have found them so quickly after the fallen angels appeared?

Once they confirm that Cipher is in Argasus, Gao Yi has no doubt that they will kill Cipher at all costs. Even with Gao Yi's current prestige, the other side will not have any scruples. These guys would dare to break into the royal palace to kill Cipher, and attacking friendly forces to keep secrets is commonplace for them.

Nothing is more important than keeping a secret.

Gao Yi's current strength is not afraid of the Dark Angels, even if the opponent is a Primal Warband.

"I hope they don't go too far, Rebecca. If they really do something too outrageous, then we don't need to hold back. So what if it's a startup group? There's no way someone here would kill me and then just sit back and suffer!"

After receiving Gao Yi's reply, Rebecca smiled. She had been hesitant because of his status, but now that Gao Yi had her support, she no longer needed to hold back.

“Sefer, it seems your brothers have their eyes on you. The resurrection of the Lion King cannot be rushed. Your trust in me does not mean they trust me. You also know that the attitude of your brothers is not the right time. I have revived Guilliman and brought back Felus. You should believe that I have the ability.”

Gao Yi's words were also an excuse, after all, he didn't know where the Lion King was sleeping now... Judging by the time, it wouldn't be many years before the other party woke up on its own.

"Alright... I understand. There's one more thing I must tell you. The angels within the Red Pirates told me that Huron is absorbing the remaining forces of the Black Legion. After the defeat at the Battle of Cadia, without Abaddon's unification, the entire Black Legion fell apart, and a large number of warbands were absorbed by Huron."

The Red Pirates are now far larger than ever before, and all signs indicate that the Evil God has once again begun contacting Huron. The Red Pirates are arguably the largest chaotic force in the warp, and Huron is ordering his members to search for the Black Stone… You must be wary of them!”

The Red Pirates' unusual movements prompted Cypher to remind Gao Yi.

"Blackstone... just as I thought. But Huron is much smarter than Abaddon. He just lost the war in the Cardia, so he won't launch another large-scale invasion anytime soon. Even if he consolidates his forces, it will take time. How can you manage a madman whose faith is chaotic? But Cipher, we've already found the Dark Angels. I can't guarantee that I can completely hide your whereabouts. Why don't you leave the expansion area and lay low for a while?"

I happen to have a new task that's perfect for you!
