Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 285 Penetrating Chaos

"Mission? What mission? Lord Gao Yi, I won't do the dirty work for you."

"Dirty work?! What swear words? Don't talk nonsense. I'm giving you a legitimate mission! Instead of wandering around the Empire and being wanted by the Empire and the Dark Angels, why not make some more contributions to the Empire and me in secret? Otherwise, you'll be wasting your current spy identities in Chaos."

If it works properly, it might even become the basis for you to clear your name of being in a state of confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"You must have quite a few fallen angels lurking in the Chaos Realm, right?"

"That's true. We didn't really fall into depravity. We just had different beliefs. We never betrayed the Lion King, but we were dragged into the compressed space by the warp storm."

However, some of us did truly worship the Dark Gods. Even those who were initially loyal brothers were driven mad by their long stays in the Warp and came to believe in Chaos.

"What if I told you I could provide you with a lot of resources, weapons, and even warships, so that you and your followers could at least secure a place among the Red Pirates? Not to mention replacing Huron, you could at least become a high-ranking member."

Gao Yi's words silenced Cipher. He had initially thought Gao Yi wanted him to do some dirty work, like killing someone to gather intelligence... He hadn't expected Gao Yi's scheme to be this grand...

"Your idea... is quite bold, but is it really feasible? Even though we're pretending..."

However, once you reach a higher level, you will inevitably come into contact with more chaotic forces. We usually do not interfere in the disputes between the chaotic forces, and try to avoid getting too tainted by the warp forces. Many of those brothers who have completely returned to chaos did so because of long-term warp erosion.

I cannot guarantee that each of us can withstand the corruption of the warp, either physically or mentally.

"This can solve the problem. There are quite a few Chaos believers who do not worship any specific evil god. Moreover, I will arrange for some of my untouchables to periodically purify and absorb the Chaos power in you, as long as their psychic energy level is not too exaggerated."

Tell me if you can do it or not! Now is the perfect time for Huron to issue invitations to all.

The invasion of the real universe by the Dark Gods cannot be separated from these mortal believers. I need to know more about the Red Pirates to prepare countermeasures in advance.

"Perhaps we should really give it a try."

Cypher and the fallen angels around him were very adept at disguising themselves as traitors of Chaos; otherwise, they wouldn't have said it was difficult to distinguish between the loyal and the treacherous.

Many of the things he did were almost identical to those of a Chaos traitor. Not to mention the loyalists, even the Chaos faction believed that Cypher was a true fallen angel.

Cipher even collaborated with Abaddon on several occasions.

Now he's back to his old profession, but this time he has a big financial backer.

"Your words are enough. I'll immediately have Pavian and Rebecca prepare supplies for you! If there are any competitors we need to take down, just send a message! We can cooperate to lure them out and kill them! Also, like you said, we must pay special attention to their search for the Black Stone. I need to know as soon as they make a discovery!"

The warship has a quantum communication system, so you can contact me anytime once you return to the real universe.

If you require any supplies later, please send a message to my dynasty, and I will have someone prepare them for you at a designated location.

Rebecca's face turned even uglier after hearing Gao Yi's words.

Her good lord, the carefree manager, slapped his forehead, and she was busy again... If it weren't for the implementation of the trading platform making the dynasty's funds sufficient at this stage, she would have to find ways to squeeze funds out of here and there...

But no matter how difficult or challenging it was, Gao Yi's orders had to be carried out.

Soon the necessary supplies were prepared. Gao Yi assured that even though the Chaos War Gang was full of poor people, Cypher's fallen angels could definitely become rich with these supplies, enough to recruit a large number of people. The rest would depend on how they operated.

Previously, only Chaos infiltrated the Empire; now, Chaos will also experience the taste of being infiltrated.

After the central server of the Internet was placed in the core area of ​​the Holy Machine Order.

Gao Yi then began to prepare for the support of the Bar Star System.

However, just a few days later, Rebecca approached Gao Yi again.

She handed over a report detailing the increasingly frequent attacks the dynasty had suffered from the Dark Eldar—a situation far too abnormal. "Have all the conspiracies in Comoros emerged?"

The scale and number of raids were unprecedented for Gao Yi. While the Dark Spirit Clan was not uncommon in expanding their territory, the scale and organization of this raid were definitely not simple plunder. Many affiliated forces sent reports to the dynasty requesting assistance, which prompted the dynasty's fleet to be dispatched frequently.

And with the departure of many of the fleets from Argasus.

Several Dark Eldar warships even attempted to enter Argasus via the network tunnels, but were destroyed by a massive number of orbital defense platforms as soon as they appeared.

These circumstances made Gao Yi sense something was amiss. It was clearly a diversionary tactic, with the real target being Achilles, only the other side had underestimated Achilles' power.

"Yes, they frequently attack our trade routes and vassal states through the internet; they even dare to enter our capital!"

Rebecca said bitterly.

"That's for sure, but what could be the reason? There must be some benefit driving them, otherwise, given Viktor's personality, he wouldn't willingly become our enemy; there's no benefit for him."

Next, Gao Yi needs to get Abathur out of the Comoros. Abathur and the hatched Zerg can be teleported back directly via the Nydus Worm, but Gao Yi also needs to rescue the Dynasty soldiers who are stranded in the Comoros because of him.

Moreover, rescuing the Astartes, especially the Salamanders, trapped in the Comoros would also win Gao Yi more political resources.

These original chapters held a truly unique position within the Empire.

Moreover, if Gao Yi were to actually mobilize troops to Baal to deal with the Tyranid tentacles, he would need a stable rear base. The Dark Eldar are elusive and unpredictable thanks to the web, and rather than waiting for them to come to him, Gao Yi would prefer to destroy this den of demons.

Gao Yi didn't go looking for trouble with them, but these Dark Spirits actually came looking for him. Wasn't this just walking right into their trap?

The Dark Eldar were unaware that Gao Yi had already entered Comoros through the network, and they were not prepared for a large-scale invasion.

Looking at the power he currently possessed, perhaps it was time to take action against the Comoros. There was no need to completely destroy the Comoros; as long as he could kill a large number of their high-ranking members, given the nature of the Dark Eldar, they would fall into internal strife over power struggles and would have no time to launch an invasion of the dynasty.

As Gao Yi began planning the attack on Comoros, more than a dozen Eldar warships suddenly entered the Argasus system.

Having just experienced a small-scale invasion by the Dark Eldar, Agathos immediately tensed up.

However, these Eldar warships did not appear to be in good condition. They had obviously been in a battle not long ago, and the enemy had even turned off their holographic force field and engines and sent communications to the Dynasty fleet.

However, Gao Yi was also surprised when he learned the identity of the visitor.

"Everene? The Death Army?"
-
A Spirit Race warplane is heading towards Agathos.

A large amount of firepower was constantly locked onto the warship.

There were only three people on board the fighter jet: Evelynn, Adalard, and Thousand Faces.

“Aidalard, I still find our actions somewhat incomprehensible. Will those humans really accept our cooperation?”

Looking at the countless defense platforms and fleets in the void, Evelynn's face showed worry.

It would be easy for them to kill them now.

"If we want the Death Army to survive, this is the best way I can think of right now. The clowns have already betrayed us to Victor in exchange for his help. No one knows the Web Path better than the clowns. The Web Path is no longer a safe place."

"Victor's army could find us at any moment; there are still too few of our Eldar who believe in the Grim Reaper."

Listening to Adalard's words, Evelyn simply gazed silently at the planet they were heading towards.

After the fighter jet landed, the three of them arrived at the conference room that Gao Yi had arranged for them, under the close surveillance of the soldiers.

This was the first time the three of them had met face to face with Gao Yi.
