Chapter 273 Three People
Numerous shuttles are like busy black worker ants, constantly traveling between the Goliath-class factory ship and several captured battleships.
The Space Marines cooperated with the Tech-priests and servitor slaves to loot the loot from the three Ork warships, completely repaired and purified the Night Lord's Dominator-class cruiser, and added the Rogue Trader's Conquest-class star sea voyager into the fleet.
Su Zheng, bridge.
Fu Qinghai sat on the captain's chair, and the Space Marines brought three "people" in different clothes in front of him.
A dying Space Marine.
An Orc dressed as a pirate.
A beautiful woman dressed richly.
The first two were tied up and escorted over.
Fu Qinghai first looked at the woman:
"Hello, Ms. Yolanda Atera."
The woman bowed and saluted:
"Hello, respected Qingshan Khan, thank you for rescuing the Emperor's Coin from the clutches of the Orc pirates. On behalf of the Altera family and the remaining crew, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to you."
The woman seemed to have dressed up specially before she came to meet Fu Qinghai. She did not show any signs of the embarrassment she had faced when she encountered pirates before. She was dressed in a baroque-style captain's costume, which had elements of Gothic religion and hedonism. It was gorgeous. Without losing competence.
"What are your plans next, Ms. Yolanda?"
Fu Qinghai asked with his chin clenched.
Yolanda Atela said sincerely:
"Sir, if you can escort me and my crew back to the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar, it is also to repay the favor of saving your life. I am willing to give you the Emperor's Coin as a reward."
Next to him, Eugene Eleanor's eyes lit up when he heard this.
The Conqueror-class Star Sea Voyage Ship is not an ordinary ship. In terms of size, it is a cargo ship larger than a cruiser. Technically speaking, it has been manufactured and served since the Great Expedition, using many ancient designs that have been lost.
A Conqueror-class star-sea voyage ship was given away as soon as it was said to be given away. It seems that this "Atella Family" is quite powerful in the Extreme Star Territory and belongs to the wealthy Rogue Trader dynasty.
Fu Qinghai has read the original novel series "The Rogue Trader", but it did not bring much reference value because "The Rogue Trader" tells the story of the 41K era, and now is the 31K era. Many famous Rogue Trader dynasties in the future are currently None exist yet.
Eugene was about to encourage Fu Qinghai to agree, but Fu Qinghai waved his hand and said seriously:
"I can escort you and your crew back to the Five Hundred Worlds, and I don't need the Emperor's Coin as payment."
Yolanda was slightly surprised when she heard this.
Eugene was stunned and thought to himself, Khan, do you know what you are talking about? That is a conquest-class star-sea voyage ship!
Fu Qinghai stretched out a finger:
"I only have one condition."
Yolanda looked serious:
"Please speak."
"The Altera family must open up a new trade route, from the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar in the Extreme Star Territory to the Marquez King District in the Obscure Star Territory."
Yolanda shook her head slightly:
"With all due respect, sir, I can't make the decision alone on such a major matter as opening a sea route. I have to discuss it with my family before I can decide... In the 'Marx King' star area you mentioned, are there any rare specialties there? "
Fu Qinghai smiled and said:
"There is a new forging world there called 'Phaeton'. As for the specialties... we are going to the Phaeton Forging World soon. You can go and see it for yourself."
Yolanda nodded.
Just for a look, those who choose to become Rogue Traders are full of curiosity and adventurous spirit. She also wants to know what is so magical about the "Phaeton Forging World" that Fu Qinghai talks about.
Fu Qinghai asked his men to send Yolanda back to the cabin to rest.
Then he looked at the tightly tied green skin.
As soon as Fu Qinghai turned around, Qiao Shida kicked the orc pirate behind his knees, causing him to kneel down with a pop.
Fu Qinghai looked at the two-meter-tall green-skinned orc with great interest. Its fangs on both sides were broken, there was a twisted scar on its face, and there was sparse hair on the top of its head.
"The Blood Ax Clan?"
Fu Qinghai asked.
The language was spoken in the Tego language.
The orc knelt on the ground, raised his head and puffed out his chest, looking like he was cutting meat, speaking low-gothic with a thick accent, and said loudly:
"Yes, we are the invincible and great Blood Ax clan. I advise you to let me go now, otherwise the super fleet led by our iron-faced marshal Boss Skin will definitely destroy your tribe, canned shrimps! "
"puff……"
Behind him, Joestar couldn't help but laugh.
How did you manage to make such strong statements from such a humble position?
Fu Qinghai was speechless, waved his hand and said:
"Don't talk to me about these useless things. Let me ask you, what is your relationship with the dead war boss?"
"He is the captain and I am the first mate."
the orc replied.
"How long have you been operating within the empire? Where did the information about this robbery come from? And who was hired by it?"
Fu Qinghai asked next.
The Bloodaxe clan is a strange flower among the orc clans. As the first Ork orcs to come into contact with the human empire, they have learned many human tactics, trade equipment and vehicles with humans, and sometimes even serve as mercenaries for the Inquisition. .
All these facts are enough for other members of the orc clan to label them as "dangerous, treacherous, cowardly" and "not even remotely orcish". In fact, the Blood Axe is indeed the clan that can judge the situation best.
The Tech-Priests studied the three Ork warships, two of which were crude warships without warp engines. There is no subspace engine, which means that long-distance navigation is impossible. This is not a border area, so how did the orcs get in?
Moreover, the Savage-class gunboat is a powerful orc warship with intensive firepower, but its range is very short and its speed is not fast. The orcs must ambush in advance and then succeed in a sneak attack. Yolanda confirmed Fu Qinghai's conjecture, which was also one of the doubts.
The orc raised his chin and replied:
"We are employed by the Evil Moon Clan. They provide us with chops, big guns, and big boats. We come to plunder the territory of the Xiami Empire, and we share half of what we rob."
"you are lying!"
Fu Qinghai pointed out without hesitation.
He kicked down a metal box next to him. With a "crash", the lid of the box opened, and a large number of throne coins flowed out, forming a small slope on the steps.
"This is the box we found in your captain's cabin. If the Bad Moon clan hired you, why is it filled with throne coins instead of teeth?"
Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes and looked at the orc and asked.
Orc teeth are the common currency in the orc tribe, and the Bad Moon clan is the richest orc clan because their teeth grow faster than others.
"Well……"
This orc was obviously not very good at lying. After being exposed by Fu Qinghai, he was stunned for a while and didn't know what to say.
Joestar grabbed the orc's chin and twisted its face, then raised his hand and threw up the two big-eared posts with a "snap".
The orc's face was so swollen from the slap through his gauntlet that only two stubbled fangs were left. The flesh was cut off by Joestar's two slaps. The orc's face was so painful that he hissed and his whole face was numb. , blood mixed with broken teeth flowed down.
"Just answer whatever is asked, and be honest."
Joestar said coldly.
"Okay, I said, I said..."
The orc's eyes and nose were squeezed by his swollen cheeks, and he muttered vaguely:
"It's the Dunbar family of the Calixis sector. They provide us with intelligence information on the robbery targets, including travel routes and firepower equipment."
Oh, hive nobles working with the orcs?
Fu Qinghai and Qiao Shida looked at each other.
"Ask Yolanda Atela if she knows the Dunbar family."
Fu Qinghai turned to Lin Yu and said.
Lin Yu went to the cabin on the lower deck, returned soon, approached Fu Qinghai and whispered:
"There is indeed a Dunbar family in the Calixis sector. They are Rogue Traders, not hive nobles, and they are also trading partners of the Atela family."
"interesting……"
Fu Qinghai touched his chin.
A rogue trader who colludes with orc pirates.
The Calixis sector is not the garrison area and sphere of influence of the Brotherhood of God and Machine, and he doesn't want to deal with such trivial, nonsense matters.
But it can be sold to the Ordo Ordos as a favor.
"Take it down and lock it up. Don't kill it."
Fu Qinghai ordered.
In case evidence is needed in the future, this orc is the witness.
"You are the war boss in a canned shrimp. I want to challenge you to a duel. If I win, you have to let me go!"
The orcs were still shouting as they were dragged down.
Fu Qinghai didn't even bother to pay attention to it.
You can't even beat Joestar and you still want to challenge me?
Dreaming.
Fu Qinghai looked at the Space Marine with his hands tied behind his back and his head lowered. His face was covered with scars, some of which were scabbed, and some of which were still bleeding.
When Fu Qinghai was talking to other people, he knelt and sat beside him without saying a word, exuding an aura of decadence and ruin, motionless, as if dead.
"Who are you and why are you locked up in the Night Lord's bilge prison?"
Fu Qinghai asked the space warrior.
This was a prisoner found by the Space Marines of the God-Machine Brotherhood from the dungeon deep in the bilge. When they first found him, he was almost dead and had been tortured beyond human appearance.
The man slowly raised his head. His long black hair, moistened by sweat and blood, was messy and curly and stuck to his forehead. He opened his cracked lips and said with a sad smile:
"Hello, Qingshan Khan, I am Latani Kalamanda, the former captain of the Seventeenth Company of the Night Lords Legion."
Fu Qinghai frowned in confusion:
"Were you a member of the Night Lords, or a Captain, and they locked you up?"
Dirty blood and sweat stains covered the Night Bat warrior's naked upper body. From this tortured body, one can imagine what kind of suffering he had suffered.
Latani Kalamanda grinned. His teeth were incomplete, and his gums were black and rotten, revealing the broken gums left after being violently destroyed. His tongue had been cut into several forked sections, and his speech was leaking. :
"Haha...haha, because I opposed the behavior of the original body, because I tried to prevent them from launching a rebellion. Because they would rather be dogs for Horus and the Sixteenth Legion, and would rather draw swords against their blood brothers, humiliating and humiliating them Torture, and unwilling to be loyal to Humanity and the Imperium. I am ashamed to associate with such bastards."
Loyalists in Night Lords.
Fu Qinghai understood and nodded:
"Jostar, untie him, Camille, take him to the medical deck for treatment."
Just as Qiao Shida was about to untie his hands that were tied behind his back, Kalamanda shook his head, with a look of dejection on his face, and refused:
"Treatment? What kind of treatment? I have become like this. My hand tendons and hamstrings have been severed. How can I be treated... If you want to replace my limbs with those damn machines, then you might as well Kill me now, I have lived enough anyway."
When Joestar heard this, he was not happy. Regardless of Kalamanda's screams of pain, he lifted him up from the floor and dragged his broken body to the medical deck.
Camille followed behind him slowly and said:
"What I'm trying to say is that you know nothing about the concept of 'medical', Captain Kalamanda."
Fu Qinghai shook his head and laughed, watching the three people leave.
…
Fu Qinghai and several of his men were walking in the passage of the orc warship, looking at the sealed bags piled up in the passage, which were bulging as if they were filled with flour.
Fu Qinghai picked up a pinch of powder that leaked out, rubbed it on his fingertips, and asked:
"So, is this thing your main target for this cross-star trade?"
"Yes."
Yolanda Atela nodded and said:
"Ghost spark powder is only produced on the planet Icassos in the Calixis sector."
The planet Ikassos is quite unique in the Calixis sector because it is one of the few places in the sector where ghost sparks can grow, and the pollen of ghost sparks can be refined into a species that can be used in the Imperial Guard. A combat agent widely used among the Punishment Legion.
The Penal Legion, also known as the Criminal Legion, is a special formation of the Imperial Guard whose personnel are usually composed of criminals, mutants, debt-ridden people, anarchists and other various people who are classified as criminals. The Imperial Guard regiment formed.
The Sin Corps, which has a complex source of soldiers, relies heavily on various combat medicines. Without these combat medicines, it is difficult to form combat effectiveness. In addition, many gangs and families in the hive are also very interested in various combat medicines.
Fu Qinghai stood up and said:
"If you have a sales network for combat potions, you should go to Phaeton Forge World to take a look. The combat potions produced there are no worse than Ghost Spark Powder, and even have more diversified functions, and you can also customize the taste."
Fu Qinghai did not mention the side effects and addiction.
You’ve already dealt with the Punishment Corps and the Hive City Gang, so what side effects and addictions do you care about?
"Oh, is it so?"
Yolanda was obviously very interested. She walked with graceful and jumping steps, her long legs wrapped in hunting trousers, and followed Fu Qinghai into the main control room of the Onslaught-class assault ship.
How to deal with these three orc warships is also a problem.
Fu Qinghai has no interest in orc technology at all.
Can humans use the orc vehicles, firearms and cannons?
Of course they can be used, but once they get into the hands of humans, these crudely made gadgets often have various problems: jamming, exploding chambers, stalling, overheating, smoking... and finally blowing up into a ball of scrap metal. Your face will be bloody.
The technological creations of the orcs = 99% science and technology + 1% "I Xunsi", but often it is this 1% "I Xunsi" that becomes the key to their normal operation.
Fu Qinghai doesn't believe in Brother Mao, nor does he have the "power to think", so he has little interest in orc technology.
After the Beast War, the Adeptus Mechanicus secretly towed away the Orcs' battle moon for study. Thousands of years have passed, but the oil guys have not yet found their own battle moon.
These three orc warships are really useless.
Keep it, don’t use it, throw it away, what a pity...
Yolanda Atela is a woman who is good at observing people's emotions. She saw Fu Qinghai's entanglement and suggested:
"Khan, our Atela family is willing to acquire these three orc warships. You can hide them in a nearby meteorite belt and recycle them when our family's fleet comes to the Hazy Star Territory again. From the orc warships Some valuable items can still be found among the disassembled parts.”
This plan is good.
Fu Qinghai didn’t want to waste any more time and nodded:
"Can."
There was no price negotiation with Yolanda. After all, they were selling scrap products. The three orc warships were just an add-on to the deal. The subsequent opening of shipping routes and long-term cooperation were the focus.
Fu Qinghai turned to the crew and ordered:
"Study how to pilot the Orc warships and find a place to hide them in the planet's meteorite belt."
"correct."
Fu Qinghai suddenly remembered something and emphasized:
"Don't touch the big red button in the middle of the main console!"

Thanks to Francis Zabi Gudazi, low-key Qiu Ge, gxjim, three book friends for their rewards.
The Calixis Sector, according to the original novel, was established after the Angwen Expedition in M35, including the Forge World of Rath. However, if the Calixis Sector is removed, the Obscure Star Territory will lose a lot of stories. and settings, I have advanced it, and I hope book friends will know it.
