Dedicate loyalty to the good empire

Chapter 536: This landlord has no surplus food
victory.

This thing turned out to be so simple, Taylor had never thought of it this way.

But after all, he is quite "rich" to be precise, because Kamath is almost autonomous, and the greenskins produce tax-free and high-priced resources for him.

There are also Taylor properties on many worlds of the Imperium, most of which are left in the care of the Kamasu, who are always reliable and loyal.

Secondly, they bear the name of Ryan, which makes many imperial people fear their existence.

Those reliable guys managed the good industries very well, and thanks to Taylor's contributions and what he actually did for others, the world he helped also provided high-quality resources.

When the Imperial Fleet approached the once occupied area, it had already been well managed by the Kamath people. Some even called it Little Macragge.

The tireless provision of resources from approximately 50 star systems also made Taylor a hot commodity in the eyes of the Mechanicus.

In order to extract resources and obtain more archaeological sites, the oil men became more and more fond of currying favor with Taylor.

But Taylor is not a guy who relies on those oil guys.

He has his own team of Tau and Earth Clan engineers and greenskin master technicians.

Obviously, he was more than capable enough to break away from the Empire and start his own faction, if it weren't for the Emperor's old friendship and Guilliman's appreciation, and if he really couldn't stand the ridiculous drama of the gods.

Taylor had probably already become a Chaos warlord, at least he wasn't one to be tied down.

And he was able to speak freely and tinker with his own power thanks to Lord Guilliman's tolerance.

Some people say that Guilliman is nurturing a tiger to harm himself this time, and he will betray the Empire like Huron, while others believe that such freedom will bring disaster upon himself.

But most people still saw the Emperor's recognition of Taylor and the obedient alien legions who were like slaves, at least that's what they thought.

Obviously they have realized that this person's technology or means to make the gods and aliens obey may be filthy or bad, or some extremely high-end skills, which is not the point for the time being.

But it was almost a common understanding that Taylor had private wealth comparable to that of the imperial high lords.

He is a rich man.

Imperials rarely use this term to describe a powerful warlord, because in most cases wealth is usually insignificant compared to the power they hold.

If they are fortunate enough to become a planetary governor, then behind their war title, that world will be honored as their trophy.

He will be called a "castle lord" to refer to those war lords who own a fortress world, just like the knight nobles of ancient times, who regard a castle as their fiefdom.

Taylor is completely different from them. He is better at making money in secret. His fortress world will not honor him by any name, and those places usually sell many valuable resources to other worlds.

Let's put it this way, most planetary lords will not actively sell their planet's non-renewable resources, including metal products or biomass, because the countless greedy appetites in the void will eat those things up.

And most importantly, in most cases such selling does not bring wealth, but countless risks and bankruptcy.

In comparison, the things that can truly be called profits are nothing more than war and plunder, that is, force.

Taylor "wasted" most of his force on protecting his assets and touching upon those things that seemed the least profitable.

Obviously, he succeeded, so successfully that many heroes of the empire found it incredible.

But for the next few thousand years, his fleet will be the largest, best supplied, and most modernly armed.

Of course, there were also those who coveted it. After Taylor successfully reduced the fleet of the Empire's enemy to ruins with a financial resource that could almost build half a fleet, several Imperial fleets that united due to the difficulties of the war began to look for him and seek Taylor's funding.

It sounds like funding, but in reality it means giving them more weapons and equipment free of charge.

Taylor's price was also very clear, which was something like bonds.

Those things can be used to exchange for military assistance, or directly extract what Taylor wants from the resources under the hands of those fleet lords.

In general, it is priceless, but it cannot be withdrawn at the moment. However, Taylor never loses money in business.

He was like a cunning fox. If this creature had not long been extinct in human civilization, this animal would definitely have become Taylor's new nickname and spread widely in the army.

But everyone got what they needed, and that's how it should be.

But the situation is not always smooth sailing. Even the good old Taylor does not want to give to some people, such as the governors of nearby planets who have been recruited, or the non-compliant sea merchants who are responsible for transportation.

They saw that there was profit to be made and planned to come and write blank checks. Taylor gave a clear answer to those people.

That's the landlord's house~ There's no surplus~
Of course, the guys didn't believe it, and they were even ready to threaten Taylor or rob his supply lines.

Of course, this sentence was not said explicitly, but the hidden meaning behind the words is actually known to everyone.

Those guys were almost like pirates. To be honest, Taylor always looked down on them, not to mention that they dared to come and rob him.

Taylor didn't want to be so rude as to report the matter to the Regent. The good news was that he had a group of greenskins, in other words.

The alien attack is an act of force majeure. As for why those aliens have Imperial standard equipment?

Probably stolen.

Why is the maintenance of the grab so good?

Maybe he was very skilled at snatching it?
Taylor would answer naturally.

He is not an expert, please don't ask him.

Of course, it is certain that Guilliman would know the general details, but cleaning up some of the scum within the Empire is not a big crime, it may even be a good thing.

He was helping the expedition maintain order, and Guilliman couldn't thank him enough!
Of course, this matter was done perfectly, and soon rumors about it were flying all over the place, but no one suspected Taylor.

Of course he was the most suspicious, or rather, no one dared to doubt this powerful warlord.

This feeling is actually not bad?

Taylor couldn't help laughing when he thought of this. After all, he was already a local overlord and had a beautiful wife. His life was perfect and he only lacked a peaceful environment.

But he still felt like he was missing something, until a familiar yet unfamiliar name appeared on the star map.

That's the name of his hometown.

Hive World, Skadi...
