Shipping goods from the game to the World of Warhammer

"Really? No, I didn't mean to doubt you!"

When Aliya first heard the news, she didn't really believe it.

Less than half a day later, Rhodes said he had dealt with the threat of anti-aircraft guns near the governor's mansion.

If such an armed force truly existed, the rebellion on Esperan should have been quelled long ago before it even reached Rhodes.

Despite her doubts, as the manager of the traveling merchants, Aria would still faithfully carry out Rhodes' orders.

Inside the bridge, the naval commander in charge of managing the flagship's armed forces quickly gathered the ship's soldiers and reported to Rhodes.

"Lord Captain, the shuttle and crew are ready and awaiting your command." In such a formal setting, the Navy Commander addressed Rhodes as Lord Captain instead of Merchant Ronin, a sacred title inscribed in the Imperial Code.

"Very good, let's go."

Rhodes gave the order with satisfaction, and soon, shuttles full of armed crews were launched from the Christina and headed toward the agricultural planet below.

Aliya stared at the radar and communication systems on the bridge. Although Rhodes wanted his private shuttle to depart with the troop transport ships, he eventually compromised under Aliya's strong insistence and agreed to let his shuttle depart in the second batch.

This is also a habit ingrained in Aliya's military family; after all, everything must be based on the safety of the traveling merchants, and they must never be allowed to be in danger.

If the merchant ronin's judgment is wrong and the anti-aircraft guns are still operational, the first batch of aircraft will be in a hopeless situation.

After a long time, there were no abnormal signals on the radar, and no explosions or screams were heard from the communicator as expected. It wasn't until the other party reported that they had landed near the governor's mansion that Aria glanced at Rhodes in the flagship seat.

When did he acquire this ability?

As the manager of the traveling merchant ronin who inherited his father's business, Aria took office two years earlier than Rhodes inherited the position.

That's why she could also see how this once-great dynasty had declined, when Rhodes' father had already exhausted most of his energy maintaining the operation of several star systems.

After his death, Rhodes, who succeeded him, spent his days indulging in pleasures on the planets under his control, causing several planets to fall out of the Vandrick dynasty's star map.

Aliya thought it was already a miracle that Rhodes was able to escape from the planet where the rebellion broke out that day, and Rhodes not only escaped, but also quelled the rebels below from his flagship.

Is this really still the same wandering merchant Rod who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun every day?

Rhodes had no idea what his steward was thinking. After hearing the report coming through the communicator, he tilted his head and asked the other party:

"Aliya, now you should be able to send my shuttle off, right?"

"sure."

The second batch of shuttles arrived at the Governor's launch port. Rhodes stepped off the shuttle, took a deep breath of fresh air, and Aria and Lope followed behind him. The other shuttles carried other important personnel, such as the State Church priests who were responsible for checking the extent to which the planet was corrupted by Chaos.

The first soldiers to arrive had already taken control of the rebels around the governor's mansion. These Chaos believers still thought the anti-aircraft guns were under their control. When the crew of the Christina disembarked from the shuttle, most of the Chaos believers were still indulging in various sensual activities.

For this reason, the entire operation to suppress the rebellion encountered almost no resistance.

Father Soren, the confessor aboard the flagship, also arrived at the governor's mansion. As he watched the rebel corpses being carried away, ready to be transported to the square for purification with flames, Soren frowned.

The wounds on most of the heretic corpses were easily identifiable: combat knives, energy swords, automatic bolt-action rifles...

However, some of the heretic corpses showed no signs of human weapons in their wounds.

The wounds were torn apart, or showed irregular, corrosive holes; these heretics seemed to die more from the claws and teeth of animals than from fighting with weapons.

"Where were these heretic corpses found?" Soren pointed to two of the corpses, whose chest cavities had been corroded by an unknown weapon, leaving holes almost the size of their heads.

"These are the bodies of heretics around the anti-aircraft guns," the soldier pushing the body truck replied.

The problem has circled back to Rhodes.

"You asked me how I regained control of the anti-aircraft guns?" Rhodes smiled awkwardly, frantically racking his brains for an excuse.

Although I don't know how I managed to pass the test that day, if the state church pastor were to discover the existence of the alien insects, the court and the Ministry of Justice would come knocking on my door.

"I just learned a new technique and kept some small pets on this planet. I never thought it would be useful in dealing with these heretics."

As soon as the half-truth left his mouth, Rhodes regretted it.

Such a clumsy and vague explanation would be doubted not only by the experienced Father Soren, but also by any newly hired Catholic priest.

But Father Soren nodded: "In that case, I hope you will continue to maintain this loyalty and serve the God-Emperor and the Empire."

He accepted his own explanation, and now it was Rhodes's turn to be incredulous. He thought the other party would definitely continue to ask him about the origins of those creatures, but the other party just brushed it off lightly.

Watching Father Soren's departing figure, Rhodes opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.

Of course, for Father Soren, this answer was more than enough.

Who would doubt a wandering merchant who, just a day ago, was adorned with imperial miracles and then personally purged evil heretics from this planet?

Even if the living saint Sebastian Saul came, there would be no doubt.

With the Chaos Cultist rebellion near the Governor's Mansion over, the riots on the entire planet were quickly suppressed. Most of the ordinary people, upon seeing the Christina's crew's well-equipped and armed crew, wisely surrendered.

Except for a very small number of people who have been corrupted by Sin's influence, most people can still distinguish which carries more weight: empty slogans or loaded firearms.

As the last rebellious mob was suppressed, Rhodes received a notification from the system during the ceremony.

Esperan's rebellion has been quelled, and the game's capacity has been increased.
