Dedicate loyalty to the good empire

Chapter 498 Returning to Hometown
Damocles Bay?

Taylor hesitated for a moment, then said, "That's the edge of the Ultima Thule. It's not just about falling into the Empire's dark side, but the most important thing is..."

"That place has nothing to do with the Great Rift..."

At this moment, Taylor subconsciously thought that Guilliman and Lion wanted to transfer him away to preserve their strength, or for some big plan.

But Guilliman answered calmly. "We need to clean up the instability, and the Damocles Gulf has always been a mixed bag."

"This place happens to be an important transportation channel. I need someone with sufficient capabilities to ensure that the imperial army remains safe for a long time."

"The mission in Damocles Bay is tight and demanding, and it's also a key area. If there's a riot or betrayal, it could be breached."

"Then this thing is going to get pretty bad."

Guilliman seriously explained how important the matter was at the moment.

To be honest, the priority of this matter is completely different from what it seems at first glance. This matter seems to be far away from the Eye of Terror, but its importance has been the highest from the beginning.

In fact, this job is the most important and difficult area that a mortal can take on.

Rather than wanting to push Taylor away, it was more that Guilliman's judgment was a little too serious.

The Empire needs a safe enough battlefield to fight the enemy, and obviously someone must keep the aliens as quiet as possible during this time.

This task is quite heavy, Taylor replied with a bit of dissatisfaction. "Um, just me?"

Lion replied. "There is also a fleet from Fenris in the Damocles Gulf region, a Space Wolves fleet with many reliable warriors."

"Obviously they will be happy to help you."

Taylor had to agree. "It always felt a lot more reassuring to have those guys helping me."

"But my fleet is so large, this mission is obviously a sure success. Let's just wait for the victory report!"

Guilliman paused for a moment, then said, "You don't know yet?"

Taylor asked. "What?"

Lion replied. "Half of your army will be deployed to the expedition against the Empire's dark side. In other words, all greenskins and non-Skardi soldiers will be taken away."

"It's because we are short-handed, that's why the Space Wolves are here to help you."

Taylor's expression darkened. "Although the remaining army still numbers hundreds of thousands and includes sixteen warships, I truly hope that the news you, the Primarch, will reveal is good news."

"God, these days are becoming increasingly difficult."

Guilliman said helplessly. "Stop complaining. All wartime commanders in the Imperium are now in the same boat as you. We have forcibly drawn half of the Empire's combat power just to win this last stand."

"The entire Imperium is now at war. It's quite a feat for me to leave you two Grand Companies of Space Wolves..."

Taylor sighed. "I hate being tense, but there's nothing I can do about it."

He walked out of the room and quickly assigned work and tasks to his soldiers, and the Damocles fleet moved forward again.

Of course, a large number of greenskins and soldiers and warships from many places had to leave, but even so, the Damocles fleet was still huge.

Taylor and Guilliman have always had a tacit understanding. When shiploads of supplies were transported over, he actually smiled knowingly.

The two of them have been working together for a long time, and Guilliman knows very well what Taylor likes, which is nothing more than money and supplies.

To be honest, Taylor could laugh for two or three days just looking at the list of supplies, because Mr. Guilliman has always been generous to him.

Having a boss like this was one of the few good things about the current dire situation. Taylor was clearly well aware of the empire's current predicament. He muttered to himself, "Overtime, this life is unbearable. More overtime, I'm almost living on a boat!"

The young captain who had just said goodbye to his wife and newborn daughter rolled his eyes.

The young man couldn't help but wonder what his boss was complaining about every day. He had no wife, no children, no family, and was all alone, yet he kept complaining about this and that...

This incident made him feel very uncomfortable. After all, he had given up many people to accompany him, although some of them were for his own career.

But relying on his father-in-law's ability, it was not difficult for him to find a job that did not require him to participate in the expedition and could be promoted slowly.

But he still chose to join the Imperial Navy and serve in the most dangerous place next to Taylor.

This is also a true portrayal of most of the outstanding officers who followed Taylor. They have the experience, qualifications and ability to retire at any time and place, and they point at the heads of those bastard masters in the Military Affairs Department and curse them.

But they were still willing to follow Taylor. Although it was not a hardship, they still had to live with their heads on the belt.

It's obviously not an easy task.

But they never regretted it.

he called out as the young captain looked at the star chart and began to figure out which way to go next.

"We're approaching Damocles Bay. Get ready to approach Damocles Starport. We're about to dock!"

Taylor replied, "Prepare to dock, and communicate with the local garrison in advance..."

But before he could finish his words, dozens of disc-shaped yellow warships appeared near the Damocles fleet at sub-light speed.

The entire fleet immediately went into attack mode, but people soon discovered that the radar systems of those yellow ships were almost non-existent.

The intense warp storms on the dark side of the Empire prevented them from clearly detecting the surroundings. At least the augury technology had proven to be reliable over the past ten thousand years of human civilization.

And Taylor said, "Those are Tau ships, merchant ships, or at least they call them merchant ships."

"This isn't normal here. For them, this is the edge of their so-called Tau 'Empire'. It's like they're exploring the outermost reaches of the Milky Way."

"This scale is clearly not for exploration. A closer look reveals numerous cracks on the ships, clearly evidence of attacks."

The young captain said. "Looks like Imperial macrocannon fire. Clearly an Imperial fleet is attacking those Tau."

"Boss, what should I do?"

Taylor said. "Send the signal and ask them what's going on."

"We were off their radar, and they obviously couldn't sense us."

"Remember to control the signal strength to avoid counter-detection."

As he spoke, suddenly several huge cannons were fired from the side of the void, destroying a Tau warship.

Behind the fierce light of the nuclear power reactor explosion, Taylor saw the visitor in the distance.

That is the wolf head mark, representing the brave men of Fenris.

Space Wolves.

Apparently, this group of Tau had violated the laws of Heaven and was being hunted by the Space Marines...

Taylor felt a dull headache, because no matter what, what was going to happen next was definitely going to be very troublesome...
