Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 295 Picking Up Things: Quality Over Quantity

Viktor is Gao Yi's biggest target on this trip. If he can be eliminated, the Dark Elf Clan will not be able to find anyone who can suppress the other conspiracy groups in the short term.

Gao Yi was not worried about the opponent's ability to revive with the help of the Blood Man and the Laughing God.

His own Xel'Naga projection was insatiable; if he could kill the opponent even once, the opponent's soul would be devoured by his projection, making resurrection impossible.

Therefore, Gao Yi must personally lead the team to kill Victor.

Following Kerrigan's senses, the warship began heading towards Abathur's location.

When Gao Yi led his troops to try and kill Viktor...

The Blood Ravens' warband also began to carry out their mission. This time, Gao Yi entrusted the Blood Ravens with an important task, and in Gao Yi's eyes, the Blood Ravens' importance was no less than that of killing Viktor.

Based on the location provided by Adalard, the Blood Raven fleet split into two parts and headed towards different areas.

These are Crimson Harbor and Neddale.

Both areas are secretly controlled by the Poison Tongue Conspiracy Group, and there are hidden combat drug manufacturing plants that may contain the STC template of the panacea that was stolen by Males.

However, Aidarad was only speculating, since according to intelligence, the creation of such a potent combat drug was definitely related to the panacea STC.

Maris's possession of a panacea is common knowledge in Comoros, and it's one of the ways she enhances her influence.

Other empires' warships provided cover for the Blood Raven's advance.

Taking advantage of the high maneuverability of the attack cruisers and battle barges, Blood Raven also arrived above the target location.

"Commander, I think we'll definitely find a lot of good stuff in the main city."

“Indreik, we are no longer the warband that used to wander around and rack our brains to recruit soldiers. Now we have an entire sector as our backing.”

But as they said these words, both of them still looked towards the city behind them.

They still harbored a certain envy for the merchant ronin dynasty who had come with Gao Yi.

By this time, their troops had already been airdropped into the city of Comoros.

They also plundered the wealth of the Dark Eldar.

Regardless of whether it's weapons, artworks, or technology from the Eldar Empire era, they are all targets for them to exploit the aura effect.

When those non-dynastic Blood Ravens fought alongside them, many even felt a sense of camaraderie.

The only difference is that Blood Raven steals in secret, while these people rob openly, but they are essentially the same.

Thinking about all the good things in Comoros, Indrek was still itching to get his hands on them.

"Indrek, control yourself! Don't let those newcomers from the dynasty laugh at us. These people are used to the good life under Lord Gaoyi. Didn't you see? When we saw some bomb guns, power armor, and even some vehicles, our eyes lit up."

As for those newcomers, there was no desire in their eyes at all. They hadn't experienced the hardships we went through, but I don't blame them. However, I still believe that the fine traditions of our Blood Raven must be inherited. This is our warband's tradition! It is the soul of our warband!

During the time Blood Raven has grown stronger, I've thought a lot about it. We must change some of our old habits.

The Blood Raven company commander and officers all looked at Gabriel in surprise.

"Master, what do you mean by that? We're no longer stealing... no, we're no longer picking things up?"

"What I mean is, from now on we should value quality over quantity, and we must only pick up truly good things! Those things we once cherished are no longer worth our attention! We should only pick up things that can change or even influence the Empire!" Gabriel's words made the Blood Raven Elders feel their blood boiling, and their fighting spirit was incredibly high!

"Great Master, please rest assured, Blood Raven will always follow your teachings!"

"Excellent! Just like our target this time, the Panacea, this is our first step in making a difference! Once we succeed, the name of Blood Raven will resound throughout the entire empire! Go! Take out all the useful relics from the treasury and distribute them to each company, so that those new recruits can see the strength of their own company!"
"It's not just those traveling merchants who have good stuff! We have it too!"

Soon, weapons and equipment that could be considered precious relics by any warband were taken out of the flagship's treasury.

Powerful, sophisticated weapons from various warbands were unearthed: Blood Angel flamethrowers, Space Wolves' axes, Salamander's molten metal, Alpha's heavy sniper rifles, and the Blood Ravens' weapons from the traitorous legions. Heaven knows how Blood Ravens managed to collect all of these.

Gabriel even took out something that exuded a powerful chaotic corruption, but this item was now placed in a metal box made in the Dark Ages that could isolate psionic energy, and was carried by the chief think tank Jonah.

Finally, Gabriel began distributing weapons and equipment to his company commander and elite sergeants.

Jonah, the chief think tank member, even donned a set of Grey Knight's shield-type power armor.
Finally, Gabriel himself replaced his weapon with one of the best items in the treasury, the Warhammer Broken, which was once crafted by Forgrim and later given to Feralas, and the gauntlets once used by Rogdorn.
When the weapon was taken out of the Blood Raven Treasury, Felus, who was traveling with Gao Yi, suddenly had a vague feeling.

He looked in the direction where the Blood Raven was.

"The Forgebreaker... It's actually in the hands of Blood Raven?!"

Looking at the broken furnace in his hand, which was formed from psionic energy, an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.

The real him can only use a fake one?!
Let's put that thought aside for now; we can only figure these things out after the battle is over.

The panacea is not just a drug, but a unique and magical template that can modify genes.

It can create miraculous medicines that cure most diseases in the world, as well as incredibly deadly poisons and super-potent fighting agents.

It has to be said that this old guy, Adalard, has lived a long and fulfilling life. As one of the original shareholders of the Death Army, Madame Males is someone Adalard is wary of. He has planted more spies in the Comoros than one might imagine.

The power of death is indeed extremely attractive to the Eldar; the fact that they will not be devoured by Slaanesh after death is enough to tempt countless Eldar.

However, to be honest, Gao Yi also expressed doubts about whether STC, the panacea, was really in this factory; it was all just speculation.

This is why Gao Yi could have sent the more reliable Artanis or Kerrigan, but instead chose to have Bloodraven complete the mission.

In an idealistic world, it is obviously more appropriate to deal with it using idealism. Gao Yi is now pinning his hopes on Blood Raven's looting aura and its ability to find sacred objects wherever it goes in order to achieve his goals.

Before setting off, Gao Yi even had Blood Raven perform a divination for his mission. After receiving the result that there would be a reward, Gao Yi became even more certain of his determination to have Blood Raven carry it out.

"All companies, prepare! This will be a battle for the honor of Blood Raven! Fleet, hold back those enemies who try to interfere with us! Awaken all the fearless! For Blood Raven!"

Most of the Blood Ravens' chapter members participated in this airdrop.

According to Aidalard, the defenses here are very strong, and these combat drugs have brought Malus terrible profits. Not only the conspiracy group, but also the gang members living here are Malus's henchmen.

Rumor has it that after she won a bet with the God of Laughter, her original heart was replaced with his, which gave her a certain ability to make prophecies.

If what is said to be true is indeed the case, then the other side may have already anticipated the impending invasion.

At this moment, Gabriel changed into his new attire, wielding the Broken Forge, protected by an exquisitely crafted field shield from the Great Crusade era. Several enhanced Chapter Strategists followed behind him, providing him with psionic shields and protection.

As the drop pod landed, Blood Raven began its sweep of the two areas.
