Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 564: The Lion Prince's Heir: Emperor, what a terrifying enemy this is! ?
In the trading hall, everyone became increasingly excited and anxious.

The value of the core assets of Dawn City's network is still rising, and the growth rate is about to exceed 40%, with no signs of stopping.

This is an extremely terrible thing.

What’s even more frightening is that high-ranking nobles are still rushing to buy, and no one is willing to stop for fear of missing out on the opportunity.

"We missed the best opportunity, and no one can stop this..."

"No... don't worry, this may be a technical adjustment. We still have a chance."

"God Emperor, our family's financial resources are running out. I want to mortgage... I want to mortgage the territories of two hive planets!"

The high-ranking nobles were trembling, even more nervous than before at the Xibingku Hotel.

They gradually realized that price crushing had occurred and a new consensus had been formed.

That is, the core assets of Shuguang City Network will increase in value and it is impossible to stop in the short term. The earlier you buy in, the higher the returns will be.

What's more, the number of Wangdao's core assets is fixed, especially the first batch of developed areas, which are basically the best resource locations of Wangdao.

If his family fails to move in, it will definitely be eliminated in the fierce competition that follows.

This is an inevitable result. In the past, due to the restrictions of the Internet, high-ranking nobles and merchants could only limit their business to surrounding star regions or parts of the star field.

However, with the Internet, they were able to expand their business throughout the empire.

That's such a vast market and the profits are staggering. How can you compete with other competitors if you fail to enter the market?

In this situation, everyone has only one choice, which is to loot, as no one is willing to give up this benefit.

Grab, grab, grab!

Suddenly, the trading market changed. The high-ranking nobles suddenly became quiet, and then more noise broke out.

"It's gone. How could it be gone?"

"How is that possible? There are obviously still many areas that have not been sold!"

They suddenly realized that they had no way to purchase new core assets of Wangdao, and the number of assets for sale in the list returned to zero and turned gray.

Are they all sold out?!

The high-ranking nobles began breathing heavily and stared at everyone else, as if everyone except themselves was a despicable plunderer, the culprit who robbed them of their property and resources.

We agreed that we would work together to lower the price of the core assets of Netdao, but why did everyone sneak on board? !
Just when they were in despair, new news came, which made them feel relieved.

It turned out to be a technical adjustment.

Due to the astonishing increase in the relevant assets, trading has been temporarily suspended, and the purchase rights will be released in batches later.

Some of the top online assets will be sold through bidding.

The high-ranking nobles couldn't help but smile. As long as they could still buy it, at least there was still a chance.

The roller coaster-like emotional tug in a short period of time caused their psychological expectations to fall below the bottom line again.

Some high-ranking nobles gradually reacted and their faces turned black.

They realized that this was a carefully designed business manipulation - the savior business department controlled the amount of assets in circulation through the phased release of purchasing rights and auction mechanisms.

This not only creates scarcity of assets, but also enables better control and increase of asset prices, and they have to spend more financial resources to do so.

It's simply a despicable business trap!

The high-ranking nobles were indignant, but helpless; they had no choice but to step into this trap.

There is no other way.

They lost so completely in this business game!

"Praise the Savior, my bet was right!"

Drew frantically suppressed the corners of his mouth that were raised, so as not to attract hatred due to excessive excitement.

He bet all of NetEase's core assets before the price skyrocketed, almost doubling the value of his family's assets.

After this battle, his position as the heir to the family was completely secure, and no one could shake it!

"Oh, I got it right, I guessed it right!

I, Warren Tartarus, am a complete business genius!"

The fat noble's laughter was heard.

He seemed to be about to faint from excessive excitement in the next second.

This heir of Tartarus, the loyal dog of the Savior, the notorious "silly son of a landlord" in the Armageddon star zone, and an outlier among the nobles, unexpectedly became one of the biggest winners among the high-ranking nobles.

Warren is not particularly smart, but he suffers from PTSD due to his weak will and unable to withstand the torture. When he sees the savior, he becomes loyal subconsciously.

After he came to his senses, he continued to support the savior out of spite of everyone's ridicule, and bet most of his family's wealth on it.

Who said he was the only heir?
Now, the big winner of the Tartarus family has made a fortune, gained an unparalleled sense of accomplishment, and stood more firmly on the side of the savior.

The savior's loyal dog's ridicule made the high-ranking nobles even more angry, and their eyes turned red with jealousy.

They all clenched their fists.

If there hadn't been an Emperor's Angel patrolling the hall, these people would have rushed up and beaten up that idiot from the Tartarus family.

The other side of the trading hall has become a sea of ​​joy.

Those new nobles in the empire had already purchased a large number of core assets of Wangdao early on, and this surge in prices has further increased their assets and wealth.

Make a lot of money.

Who would have thought that in just half an hour, his wealth would double.

Especially those who leveraged their debt to acquire the core assets of the Internet, their wealth skyrocketed, and they instantly became one of the richest classes in the empire.

There was also a small number of new nobles in the empire who were filled with deep regret.

These people did not have strong enough faith and only purchased a small amount of marginal network assets.

Now, with the skyrocketing value of Wangdao’s core assets, they no longer have the ability to get their hands on that wealth, which is equivalent to being eliminated early from the competition in Wangdao’s business.

There will be little development in the future.

These new nobles of the empire may regret more than those high-ranking nobles because the Savior has kindly granted them many opportunities and provided more loan support.

But they did not cherish and seize this opportunity.

I can only leave sadly.

"Praise the Savior~

As expected, His Majesty never lets anyone down, and our investment has been rewarded many times over!"

Yoel and the others straightened their backs with uncontrollable ecstasy on their faces.

They were the new nobles in the empire who had the strongest faith in the Savior and were the most devoted to Him, and as a result, they received unimaginable rewards.

Especially for Joel, most of his investments were in the core assets of the Dawn City network, and the smallest batch also doubled.

The small palaces in the highest-level residential areas have become assets that high-level nobles are scrambling to grab.

Now, the wealth of this canned food merchant is among the richest even compared with high-ranking nobles.

"I will book the Hercules Hotel tonight and invite you all to a dinner to celebrate the victory of our investment and our loyal faith!"

Joel was in high spirits and announced this with his hands raised high.

This upstart of the empire still carries a bit of the rough and tumble spirit, daring to fight and believing in loyalty.

Faced with the invitation from the patriarch of the Hawke family, everyone readily agreed. They really hoped to have an occasion to share this joy.

More cooperation can also be discussed at the banquet.

"But I'm afraid we won't make it in time..."

Some of the new imperial elite looked embarrassed.

The Hercules Hotel is decorated with many sacred relics and is one of the most luxurious hotels in Auroville.

More importantly, the hotel is located in a high-end residential area, quite far from the exchange.

Dawn City is called a city, but in fact it is a super large area at the star district level. The travel between districts is basically equivalent to that across galaxies.

Only with the help of the webway can we reach our destination faster.

At the current time, they would not be able to reach the Hercules Hotel before dawn.

"What channel are you using?"

The one-eyed merchant looked at the new nobles of the empire who had spoken and asked.

Within Dawn City, people have different webchannels to use according to their authority to avoid interference.

The new nobles of the empire were a little embarrassed: "I...we can only enter the ordinary passage for the time being, and the speed may be slower."

"We all have exclusive channels and super-fast channels, and you are in a regular channel. No wonder you are late."

The one-eyed merchant was somewhat displeased and sneered: "You use the ordinary channel, so you may not be eligible to participate in this banquet.

I suggest you don’t go.”

In Dawn City, those who have the authority to use exclusive channels and ultra-high-speed channels are basically high-ranking personnel from various departments, elite talents or imperial warriors.

In addition, they bought high-end residential buildings at high prices and supported the construction of Shuguang City, and were given special license plates, which allowed them to use the corresponding high-speed lanes. In the eyes of the savior, he was a businessman after all, and he guaranteed quality and quantity. He had already cut so much, and he felt a little uncomfortable if he didn't compensate him.

It is a symbol of status and honor, and also an added value of high-end residential areas.

It can also invisibly force more nobles to purchase assets in high-end residential areas.

For example, now, the existence of high-end residential assets has suddenly created a gap between those who have no assets.

Those who don't have high-end housing are even slower than others in terms of transportation.

How can I survive in the aristocratic circle in the future?
More importantly, these new imperial elites did not purchase assets in high-end residential areas, which indirectly reflected that their beliefs were not strong enough.

There was no wholehearted support for the Savior.

This is also one of the reasons why the one-eyed merchant and other upstarts in the empire exclude them.

Not long after, the empire's new nobles left the trading hall one after another and went to attend the banquet.

And almost all the high-ranking nobles did not leave, and continued to stay here and stare at the giant screen.

Every once in a while, new core assets of the network will be released.

They must keep a close eye on it to prevent the precious asset quota from being snatched away by others.

……

Department of Commerce.

In the data statistics hall, dozens of large screens monitor the status of all network assets, and dense data streams analyze and record all transactions.

It firmly controls the commercial transactions of Dawn City's network and many areas of the empire.

Only in this way can the invisible hand of the savior regulate the imperial economy.

"Brother Ron, is this the Dawn City web channel commercial economy you mentioned?

Such huge benefits! If the Unyielding Expedition could obtain even one tenth of the financial resources, it wouldn’t be so difficult.”

Guilliman's voice was trembling with disbelief.

In such a short period of time, the Savior Business Department reaped huge financial resources.

Its size is enough to buy several Ultramar 500 worlds.

No matter how wealthy this Ultimate Primarch is, he only owns the wealth of a highly wealthy star zone.

The Savior, however, harvests wealth from thousands of star regions across the entire empire.

It's not even on the same level.

And this is just the beginning. After all of Wangdao’s core assets are sold, the resources obtained will be beyond people’s imagination.

What’s even more frightening is that this is not a one-time deal, and the savior can continue to collect taxes.

That is also a very lucrative income.

As for subsequent commercial transaction taxes, port taxes, etc., there are even more.

"Old Ji, Old Khan, if the Webway business is fully launched, how many Ultramars will be collected every year..."

Ron looked at the complex string of data and sighed.

He has become accustomed to using old bases as the unit of counting.

For example, Khan's combat power is about 1.3 Guillimans, and the income from property taxes, land taxes, etc. in the initial stage of the first phase of Dawn City is approximately equal to 3.5 Ultramar Five Hundred Worlds.

No one felt any discomfort about this.

As for Guilliman himself, although he felt offended, his brother seemed to have the right to be offended.

People are just telling the truth.

"I have to work hard too. I can't stop here..."

Guilliman thought about it and felt a little melancholy. The gap between him and his brother was getting bigger and bigger, and he was almost out of reach.

It was as if there was a sad barrier between the two of them.

Just when he was feeling melancholy.

Khan's voice came: "Hahahaha, Brother Ron, with so many resources and wealth, can't we launch a larger-scale expedition?
Sooner or later we will have to fight beyond the galaxy and defeat the Great Devourer Alien!"

The White Scars Primarch never forgot his original ideals.

That is to gallop and fight among the galaxies and conquer any place that can be reached.

Guilliman's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was extremely happy, with tears in his eyes.

Yes, the Empire is rich now.

The reason why he felt so deeply was that he had really been poor. When he embarked on the Indomitable Expedition, he almost sold all his belongings and even pawned his trousers.

Fortunately, under the management of the Ron brothers, the empire's finances are finally no longer in trouble and can do more.

"Sure enough, my father made the right choice by choosing Brother Ron."

Guilliman thought so.

He was also eager to organize an expedition even larger than the Great Expedition in the future.

Gain more achievements and glory than the Emperor.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't think about taking these resources. They are reserved for the construction of the network. There is still a lot of land to be cleaned up, repaired, and built into a large space hub.

Moreover, a large part of the resources are used to build the sacred tower for the Emperor to prolong his life."

Ron poured cold water on the two guys: "It's good enough that we can handle the Redemption Expedition now. Don't forget that the Chaos Gods are watching us.

It will certainly not allow us to achieve our goal so easily."

The Chaos Gods feed on chaos and suffering, and hate nothing more than order.

If the Hazy Star Domain restores stable order, it would be equivalent to taking a large piece of food away from their mouths.

There is no way they can accept it.

Ron's expression became serious. Even though the Empire now had some advantages, he must not let his guard down.

Those Chaos Gods are immortal, abominable beings who may turn the tables at any time.

For example, the Emperor at that time was careless and was ambushed by the Chaos Gods when he was closest to victory.

The end was extremely tragic.

Moreover, he could sense that as the Emperor gradually turned to darkness, the restraint and influence of divine energy on Chaos had weakened considerably.

That means that he will have to rely more on his hard power in the future, rather than relying on divine energy to win easily.

Our thighs are not that thick anymore, and they could become the enemy's giant legs at any time. It's a bit unnerving to think about it...

The empire is thriving, but a greater crisis is approaching.

Just like the Eldar Empire, it fell into ruin in the midst of extreme prosperity and raging fire.

This is the fucking Warhammer world, stability and beauty are so rare!

Guilliman and the Khan fell silent.

They also realized that the current situation is not as good as they imagined.

Perhaps even more dangerous than when the Great Rift appeared.

hum~
Ron's communication channel sent a prompt, which was the channel for emergency military reports.

He glanced at it and frowned:
"We have to prepare for war. According to the latest intelligence, the Misty Star Region has come under new attack.

A Dark Angels fortress world fell at an alarming rate..."

Upon hearing this, the two Primarchs were immediately impressed.
-
not long ago.

The hub of the hazy star field, the fortress world.

boom--

A strange burst of energy destroyed the orbital defenses of the Fortress World, and the Dark Angels' space fortress was reduced to fireworks in space.

Immediately afterwards, huge sparks appeared on the ground one after another, and the magma gushing out from the earth's fission rushed into the atmosphere.

This mighty fortress world has fallen!

The doomsday-like destruction engulfed a frigate that came to support.

Not long after, the ship emerged from the dust, twisting and turning, and its hull was already in tatters.

"Emperor, what kind of terrifying enemy is this?"

Inside the bridge.

Electric arc sparks flashed from time to time, and holes appeared in the dome.

There were several corpses wearing power armor lying on the ground.

The heir of the Lion Prince, wearing dark green armor and with wing-shaped decorations extending from his helmet, gazed at the destroyed fortress world through the broken observation porthole, his electronic eyes trembling violently.

He had never encountered such a terrifying enemy!
