Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 561: The new expedition must demonstrate the power and momentum of the empire!

The dark gold floating car drove into the large hotel.

A building that combines Eldar fine art with Baroque style.

The lights there were already on, and a grand cocktail party was about to begin.

On the towering dome, the gorgeous crystal chandeliers are like stars, casting warm and soft light, and many honor flags are hung around the walls.

These banners of the Savior appear even more sacred under the clear and transparent light of rare crystal.

At the same time, it also reflects the excitement and anticipation of the guests.

The guests were all dressed in gorgeous gowns.

The men wore well-tailored tuxedos and glittering medals of honor or jeweled brooches.

The ladies wore long, delicate lace dresses that reached the floor and swayed with every step.

They imitated the clothing and decorations of the ancient Terra nobles, like a reproduction of an extremely ancient scene, and there was almost no trace of mechanical existence in the venue.

Very unique.

The waiters were dressed in neat uniforms, holding silver trays in their hands, and shuttled between the guests.

Fill them with good wine.

The guests had waited so long for this special cocktail party that they often dreamed of similar scenes.

Because this was a cocktail party hosted by His Majesty the Savior, the New Rise of the Empire, specifically to entertain them, the rising elites of the empire.

That being will also come to this banquet soon.

A retro band was playing melodious music in a corner of the hall, and the instruments made pleasant sounds.

The softness of the piano, the gracefulness of the violin, the depth of the cello and the crispness of the flute intertwined together to create an elegant atmosphere for the cocktail party.

Soon, a special piano piece appeared and attracted a lot of attention.

“The Savior is above.

I have never heard such a unique and elegant piece of music in the empire. It is so beautiful..."

The lady in the black dress was somewhat immersed in the music. She realized that the style of this music was very different from the existing music in the empire.

Most of the imperial music is sacred, tragic or passionate sacred music with a strong state religious color.

This piece of music is even more soothing, filled with a melancholy and lingering atmosphere, which makes people feel calm.

More thought-provoking.

"Madam, this is a piano piece by a composer called 'Nocturne', and the composer's name is Chopin.

It has been tens of thousands of years since we are now.

These lost cultural heritages were excavated by His Majesty the Savior and are extremely rare. "

Shahim came over with a glass of red wine.

The patriarch of the Govendi family and the Emperor Blood Merchant is becoming more mature.

His slightly weathered but handsome face quickly attracted the attention of the ladies around him.

"Ah~ It's Mr. Shahim."

The ladies listened attentively to each other's explanation with surprised expressions. They didn't expect that the song was so ancient and noble.

According to the imperial tradition, the older and rarer something is, the more sacred and noble it is.

What's more, it is the lost heritage of ancient Terra tens of thousands of years ago, and it is simply unique.

They wanted to write it all down.

Shahim has been traveling around the empire over the years and has just returned to Dawn City.

He is now not only responsible for the work of the merchant department, but also has to take care of some work related to the commercial department and the Internet route.

He is also one of the organizers of this cocktail party.

This imperial blood merchant is well-educated and understands the latest culture of the empire that originated from the Savior.

He savored the piano music, commented on its charm, and introduced the lyrical characteristics of this musical genre, which is melodious and poetic.

At the same time, tell the guests that the sound generators and vinyl record disks of the related series of music will be sold in the shopping malls in Dawn City.

It can also grant regional copyrights to related merchants, which has aroused the interest of many guests.

“Uncle Ron always captured people’s hearts and beliefs.”

Shahim looked at the merchants who came over eagerly to negotiate and smiled.

Spreading retro culture is also one of the goals of the savior.

There is no way around it. Due to long-term suffering and war, the empire's culture and art have become increasingly rigid and inflexible, and are almost bound to the empire's state religion.

It can be described as a pool of stagnant water.

If the empire is to be freed from its decay and stubbornness, it must be impacted by new ideas and culture.

This is an inevitable result. With the recovery and development of the economy, the restoration of the region and the improvement of living standards, the people of the empire have gradually changed their previous pessimistic and desperate attitude towards real life.

They need to pursue something new, and religious belief alone is not enough.

That will only restrict thinking and make it difficult for the commercial economy to develop further.

So the Savior launched a movement called "Renaissance", hoping to use the culture of ancient Terra to liberate people's minds.

The movement spread to many fields, including music, painting, architecture, literature, etc.

As for the influence of the Lord of Change, there is no need to worry too much, because according to relevant research, repressed thoughts are more easily aroused.

Just don’t go too far with the new cultural movement.

Perhaps the empire's fall into decadent, conservative, and feudal ideological tendencies is itself one of the tricks of the Lord of Change.

Moreover, with the construction of sacred towers in various regions, the invasion of chaos will be greatly reduced.

Shahim chatted with the merchants for a while, then changed the topic and began to discuss the scenery and food in the empire's territory.

This is not a good occasion to discuss business too much.

He soon began to taste fine wines from all over the empire with everyone.

There is a huge wine cabinet in the hall, which displays fine wines from all over the empire.

There is golden wine from the vineyards of the Garden World, and every sip seems to carry the scent of sunshine and breeze; there is strong liquor brewed in the Ice World, which makes people feel dizzy and their blood rushes; and there is red fruit wine from the Agricultural World, which is sweet but not greasy, and has a fragrant aroma.

These wines are carefully selected and may be sold to various regions of the empire through trade routes.

"Praise the Savior~"

After Yor bowed slightly to the Emperor Blood Merchants, he slowly tried various types of fine wines.

He savored each bite, soaking up the flavor.

In addition to his love for wine, this Rogue Trader from the Hawke Star System, who has made a name for himself in the Empire, also hopes to select some suitable wine products and add them to his own trading system.

Although the interests involved are not great, it has become his instinctive habit.

More importantly, he unconditionally supports any will and inclination of His Majesty the Savior.

That was the secret of Joel's fortune.

Many years ago during the Battle of Baal, Jol was just a small merchant with only two broken ships as his wealth.

At that time, the Commerce Department of the Savior Territory sent out a message calling on merchants to go to Bar to discuss the development projects of Terran.

The whole message seems extremely ridiculous.

Although the savior promised to protect the safety of the merchants, Baal is a war zone after all, and going there requires taking huge risks and being able to survive.

Many merchants rejected this ridiculous call out of fear.

However, Joel did not refuse.

He knew the Savior, the Primarch of Hope, the kind and generous being who would not let anyone down.

This small merchant ignored the advice of his family members, spent most of his fortune without hesitation, filled his only two broken ships with relief supplies, and rushed to Bar.

He donated the supplies needed for the war to the war zone and then waited anxiously.

"At that time, I was worried that I might be destroyed along with Baal, but I felt that the Savior would win..."

Joel thought of what happened back then and drank the liquor in big gulps.

He looked at the two merchants next to him and said, "Our efforts have not been in vain. We finally got the long-awaited victory, right?"

"Yes, we have received the gift from His Majesty the Savior."

"Who would have thought that the Terran development project was real? Those abominable bugs have become food for humans."

The two merchants sighed. Joel and his companions made the right bet. Their safety was guaranteed, and they got the opportunity to meet the savior and obtain authorization for related projects.

It is simply a big profit.

Over the years, Yoel has become a relatively well-known large-scale merchant by relying on the Terran development projects and his relationship with the Astra Militarum.

The main business is selling canned insect meat and related insect by-products.

Today, he has signed more contracts with the Ministry of Commerce and owns several Tyranid breeding planets and large-scale hive factories.

It also has a transport fleet.

It can be said to be high-spirited.

The only regret is that there has been no news about the Galaxy Business Center promised by His Majesty the Savior.

He obtained the use of a shop there.

Originally, Joel had almost forgotten about this matter until one day he received an invitation from the Ministry of Commerce, inviting him to Dawn City to discuss new business cooperation.

This surprised him so much that he rushed over immediately.

It was not until I arrived at the Dawn City, as described by government officials from the Ministry of Commerce, that I realized what a magnificent and huge city it was.

The merchant immediately realized that Dawn City would be the future of the empire's commerce and a huge benefit that every imperial family and merchant would strive for.

Any entity that cannot participate in online business may face elimination.

Fortunately, he has already participated.

Suddenly, there was some slight commotion among the crowd.

Yoel's attention was also drawn over.

He suddenly showed extreme excitement and his face turned red.

It was a tall and noble figure in a formal suit, like the brightest star in the night sky.

It immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Save... Your Majesty the Savior!"

Joel forced a sound out of his throat, trying to maintain the etiquette of the cocktail party.

"Uncle Ron, you haven't been with me for a long time!"

Milia walked up quickly and gracefully took the savior's hand. The slightly swaying white skirt looked like a blooming flower.

This twin sister of the Govindi family still maintains her youthful vitality and impressive figure.

She looked up at the savior's charming profile, her eyes shining slightly and her mood leaping with joy.

I couldn't help but hug her tighter.

"I'm not here to accompany you."

Ron ruffled the other's soft blond hair and said with a smile.

He and Milia walked into the hall and nodded slightly to the guests, just like they were attending a normal cocktail party.

The guests did not show too much fanatical worship and remained polite and restrained.

Ron knew very well that compared to the performative fanaticism of the high-ranking nobles, the people here were more loyal to him.

Such occasions can demonstrate the closeness of this savior to them.

That's a further relationship.

Ron greeted the guests along the way and met many of them for the first time.

But that was enough. His presence here was an attitude, or in other words, they could see the master of the empire.

That's a huge qualification.

"Mr. Yoel, I remember you. We met once in Barr."

Suddenly, Ron saw a familiar-looking person and exchanged a few pleasantries.

This small merchant drove two shabby boats to deliver a batch of supplies to himself, which was very impressive. After that, he has been selling canned insect meat of various flavors.

He has a good reputation among the Star Army.

He tried several and they tasted pretty good.

They cook the insect meat very well, and it is not inferior to other imperial meats and has a unique flavor.

"Yes... yes, I had the honor of meeting you at that time."

Joel tried his best to maintain his posture and avoid making a fool of himself in public, and quickly raised his glass to respond to the savior who was toasting to him from afar.

He swallowed the wine and calmed down, seizing the opportunity: "Your Majesty, the latest canned food developed by Hawke Galaxy has been delivered to you. You can taste it when you have time.

We look forward to hearing from you.”

Joel is an excellent businessman who knows how to seize opportunities to express himself and sell his products.

If I could get any evaluation from the Savior, it would be a great boost to my business.

"I'll taste it myself."

Ron nodded and agreed to the other party's request.

He quite admired this canned food merchant. It was not easy to develop the canned food industry to such a level.

More importantly, this guy has vision and courage.

Ron thought of something and reminded him: "If your ability allows, you can buy some real estate in Dawn City. Now is a good opportunity to buy it."

According to his experience, once a consensus is formed on properties in core areas, housing prices will only get higher and higher until the consensus is broken.

Things that can appreciate in value are always sought after.

The empire is now in its rising period, and the asset prices in Dawn City should be the lowest. If you don’t hurry up and get on board, you will suffer huge losses.

Ron gave a reminder and said nothing else, throwing himself into the cocktail party.

Greet other guests.

After staying for a while, he danced with Milia again and then left early.

As the ruler of the empire, his time is very precious and his schedule is full.

Yoel watched the Savior leave and discussed the assets of Dawn City with the merchants around him.

They decided to bite the bullet and purchase some real estate assets.

Even if you only get the right to use it, you still have to pay a large amount of tax every year.
-
Inside the Sanctuary of the Savior.

Ron was flipping through the report documents at his desk.

Those are the expected profits related to Dawn City and data related to network construction, and a huge amount of resources and wealth have been gained.

The Grand Inquisitor wiped out a group of rebellious imperial nobles, uprooted them and confiscated their properties, and plundered the huge wealth they had accumulated over thousands of years.

It is roughly equal to the tax revenue of the 500 worlds of Ultramar for 10,000 years.

In addition, the construction taxes and fines imposed on the empire's high-ranking nobles were dozens of times more than the wealth they had previously plundered.

It is sufficient to support the construction of the Shuguang City Phase II project.

In addition to this is the sales of Shuguang City’s assets, especially residential properties, which is also a huge source of income and a long-term stream of income.

This income is expected to be used to build up the Nebulous Sector, especially the areas controlled by the Dark Angels and the planets around the Eye of Terror.

The Redemption Fleet, Guilliman, Khan and others are already organizing combat meetings.

At that time, the empire's army will thoroughly sweep the relevant areas.

Compared with the brutal recovery of the Indomitable Expedition, this time it was a carpet-style cleanup and a devastating attack.

Let the enemies of humanity feel the power of the Empire and the Savior.

He himself would participate in this expedition, which also brought together three Primarchs.

It can be said to be the strongest lineup in the empire in ten thousand years.

Regardless of whether the planet is in the midst of all-out war or suffering from large-scale corrosion, as long as there is any sign, it will be scanned from inside to outside.

Even the hidden thieves and the low-level cults are not spared.

We must demonstrate the might of the new empire in one fell swoop, bring peace to the Misty Star Domain for thousands of years, and make the enemies of humanity in the star domain tremble in fear!

Afterwards, the Engineering Department will move into the razed areas to resume construction and build sacred towers.

To free the local people of the empire from hunger and suffering.

Suddenly, Ron looked at the data on the file and frowned:
"Hiss~ How can it be so low? This is a bad start. I'm about to set out for the battle, and you're still so upset..."
