SWNOVELXO Chapter 68: 167
The Starry Sky Pioneer set sail again. This time, in addition to the regular troops, Gao Yi also brought personnel responsible for establishing a stable trading base in Sintila.
He planned to establish a trading branch on Sintira.
With the help of the Unity Sect, it has become a functional branch for obtaining resources and intelligence.
Although trade and economic exchanges seem to be of little importance in the Warhammer of Despair.
However, it is indispensable in areas with stable situations. The various necessary materials and talents produced by the huge population base are urgently needed by the increasingly large Monget Dynasty.
In addition to loyalty to the Emperor, interests are also necessary to maintain a huge force.
Just like the Merchant Rogue Alliance that Gao Yi is currently leading, how many members' loyalty and identification with the alliance can really be cultivated in such a short period of time?
They agree that under Gao Yi's leadership, they can obtain profits and other benefits that were previously unimaginable.
This is even more useful than Gao Yi's identity as a living saint. As long as he can bring continuous benefits to these alliance members, Gao Yi can bind them firmly to his chariot.
However, the prerequisite is that Gao Yi himself is strong enough, and the Monget Dynasty has now achieved this. All kinds of key resources such as combat uniforms within the alliance are firmly in the hands of the dynasty itself.
When Gao Yi arrived at Xintila, the large number of fleets originally docked in orbit had decreased a lot.
The urgency of the battle situation no longer allowed the support troops to stay.
The rangers led by Damon also headed towards Cadia with other troops that were levied tithes.
Conventional warp travel would still take a long time to reach the destination.
The Blood Crows, who were not among the summoned, did not leave, but waited for Gao Yi to arrive.
At Gao Yi's invitation, Gabriel boarded the Star Pioneer with his guards and the promised Soul Stone. Looking at this powerful warship, the Blood Crow's genes began to become restless again, wanting to pick up something!
However, after what happened before, the rangers stared at the Blood Crows closely and didn't give them any chance.
The attendants also provided him with a welcome ceremony worthy of him.
In front of the huge, gorgeous pure wooden round table, Gabriel looked at Gao Yi, the traveling merchant who made him particularly curious.
"Lord Gao Yi, this is the Eldar Soul Stone that was promised to you before."
Looking at the huge metal box filled with Eldar soul stones, Gao Yi suppressed the urge to turn them into system resources.
"Grand Master Gabriel, I think our transaction will be a pleasant one. Damon told me that you want to purchase some technology from our dynasty?"
"It is indeed as Damon said. You can state your needs. The Blood Ravens have good relations with the Inquisition and the Adeptus Mechanicus. I believe the Blood Ravens can afford the compensation you need."
Gabriel said confidently.
However, this was also the first time that Blood Crow negotiated terms with a wandering merchant. In the past, they would directly "expropriate" the lost items, or simply tell the owner that they had found the items. Gabriel was not sure what terms Gao Yi would propose.
In the past, dealings with the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Inquisition were straightforward, with each side knowing exactly what the other wanted.
The Blood Crows work for the Inquisition, which searches for the supplies they need. The Blood Crows share the loot from the graves they dig with the Mechanical Order, and the Order provides them with the equipment, weapons and ammunition they need.
"Grand Master, I think you have seen the strength of the dynasty. Under my rule, I have dozens of resource planets and colonized planets. I am not short of conventional supplies and various weapons and equipment. You have also seen the combat uniforms on my soldiers. I hope that this time we can change the way of doing business."
Gabriel also understood the meaning of Gao Yi's words, which was that Gao Yi probably would not look down upon many of the conditions Gabriel could provide.
Gabriel also made a decision in his heart. If Gao Yi proposed any outrageous trading conditions, he would refuse. At worst, he would find an opportunity to "pick up" some at the battlefield where Wang Chao was!
"State your terms, Rogue Trader. Tell me what you mean by an alternative approach."
"I wish to swear an oath to the God-Emperor and establish a debt of honor with the Blood Ravens Chapter, in which case my dynasty and I will provide you with the technology you need for free, and even help you find suitable recruits!
I believe there will be many suitable people among the huge population of the dynasty."
But when Gabriel heard Gao Yi's words, he became angry.
"Honorary debt? The Blood Ravens will not accept such conditions. Do you, a Rogue Trader, still want us to become weapons in your hands?!"
"Calm down, Master. You haven't heard my next condition yet. I think you will be tempted!"
"No matter what the conditions are, my battle brothers and I will not accept your arrogant conditions!"
Gabriel was about to get up and leave the Star Pioneer after saying this. At this point, Gabriel felt there was no need to continue the negotiations.
But Gao Yi's next words made Gabriel stop.
"Grand Master Gabriel, I remember that your chapter's recruits and think tanks have been troubled by psychic out-of-control and even demonic possession! What if I can solve this problem for your chapter?!"
Gabriel knew that these things were the secrets of the Chapter, and only a few people in the Inquisition and the Adeptus Mechanicus knew about them. After all, the Chapter also needed to pay a tithe of gene-seeds to the Empire, and there were some things they could not hide just because they wanted to.
But to outsiders, these situations are all secrets that the Blood Ravens need to keep strictly. If a think tank is eroded by the subspace and out of control, it is a very dangerous thing to tell others. Since one think tank may be out of control, what about other think tanks? Do they also have such risks?
This is the Chapter's unspeakable stain.
Gabriel and the blood crows looked at Gao Yi warily.
"How did you know that? Did someone from the Inquisition tell you?!"
"If I say that the Divine Emperor told me, would you believe me? You also know that in addition to being a Rogue Trader, I am also a living saint certified by the Ecclesiarchy. You just need to know that I can solve the problems that plague your chapter, and whether you are willing to accept this debt of honor if I make this sacrifice."
With Gao Yi's confident tone, Gabriel was not sure whether what Gao Yi said was true, but it was just as Gao Yi thought. If it was true, it would mean a lot to the entire Blood Crows Regiment, and it was enough to make Gabriel excited.
Even if Gao Yi was lying, Gabriel wanted to give it a try.
"If what you said is true, the Blood Ravens can accept your conditions, but how can you prove it? The Chapter has been studying solutions to this problem since its inception, but has still found nothing. I don't believe you have such technology."
"Proof, very easy to prove. You just need to provide me with a think tank who is facing this problem. In just one or two days, you will know that what I said is true!"
After Gao Yi finished speaking, the hall fell silent for a moment.
He thought of a think tank in the regiment. In the previous battle, he had to mobilize psychic energy far beyond his tolerance range because of the battle, which brought him to the brink of psychic power out of control.
The regiment cannot reverse this irreversible situation, and once it really gets out of control, they will just execute this comrade with great pain. Maybe it's true that they can try their best? !
"Okay, I am willing to give it a try, but Rogue Trader, you must know that if you cheat, you and your dynasty will suffer the wrath of the Blood Ravens."
"Don't worry, Master Gabriel, you won't regret your decision
