Dedicate loyalty to the good empire

Chapter 550 I am the Governor in the Dark Side, Part 3
At the beginning of the first field battle, the greenskins once again showed their usefulness.

They have considerable resistance to poison gas and corruption, radiation or toxins, and what is quite difficult for Imperial soldiers is not so difficult for them.

They can get through those areas and effectively complete reconnaissance missions and then get out safely, while being quite cost-effective.

Many environments that would be quite difficult for the Imperials to deal with pose almost no obstacles to them.

After a field investigation, Taylor successfully occupied the Divine Calculation Tower here.

The so-called Divine Calculation Tower is the center of the Forge World and the working area of the Mechanicus's Grand Sage. Such a building can basically represent the personal preferences of the local ruler, that is, the Forge Sage.

However, this mechanical sage is obviously unpopular among the people. Now, a large number of civilian corpses and the body of the mechanical sage are under the Divine Calculation Tower, almost blocking the entire gate.

Civil uprising? Apparently, it was almost the same, or even worse. After all, the corpses here all showed signs of being eaten. Perhaps they believed there was food and fuel inside the Divine Calculation Tower. But the answer was...

Maybe there are not enough people inside.

When Taylor entered, what came into view were the disassembled bodies of the Mechanicus members, their empty fuel storage areas and their lost flesh.

Although cannibalism is also taboo in the empire, it is actually very easy to turn those things into starch blocks.

In comparison, the little flesh on the bodies of the Mechanicus members is also precious food.

It is truly a human tragedy, horrific and it is almost a shame that such a thing happened on the territory of the empire.

But Taylor couldn't figure out one thing: what had happened to the world to become the miserable state it was today.

To be honest, the toxic air and dusty weather here are deadly enough, but they are still not a decisive measure.

There are no bugs or aliens in this world, otherwise there would definitely be corpses here.

Or? Chitinous exoskeleton can be eaten?

Taylor was quite confused until he found a large number of theoretical designs and engineering drawings about planetary jump equipment and subspace here.

In other words, he wanted to replicate the Green Orcs' combat moon technology and build a warp jump engine in this world, but the engine ended up running wild and a warp storm enveloped the world.

What followed was a 60-year famine, and they must have been prepared for this jump. The bodies inside the Divine Tower were very new, but there were signs of burning in the storage area, which obviously indicated an accident.

But no matter what, the result was that his world became a world of the dead.

As for the body of the extremely intelligent sage, Taylor was fortunate enough to see it at the top of the Divine Tower.

He sat in his seat, his huge metal body looking out the window like a fallen king.

His star has faded, the once bustling factories have long since gone out, and the endless supply of fuel and metal has become a thing of the past.

Loneliness? Death?
The sage's mechanical eyes had lost their luster, but Taylor could still feel that he had no guilt for the countless lives lost here.

There was only one thing in his eyes, which was the regret for the failure of his research results.

Such a guy deserves to die.

Taylor said without mercy. "Tear this guy down and see how much his estate is worth. Seize these research results and keep them under strict protection."

"Maybe it will work?"

Taylor scoffed at this. After all, what this guy had spent his entire life trying to get was just something his men had messed around with.

Although the sage was eager to seek talents, unfortunately, the path he was taking was wrong from the beginning. Whether it was dissecting greenskins, studying the battle moon, or putting his own world in danger, it was all a ridiculous zero-sum game.

But Taylor doesn't actually feel sorry for them, after all, this is how the galaxy is.

Either become crazy or be dead.

Taylor considers himself the former and the second.

Although it’s not nice to say this, Taylor is indeed the biggest heir to this dead world.

According to Imperial law, the first discoverer of such a world can become a governor. Although they still need to pay 11 taxes, they will obtain the mining rights for generations.

He is now the sole owner of the entire Forge World, but if he were a Rogue Trader, the world under his control would not need to pay tithes, and would be better for development.

But now Taylor pushed away the king who had begun to corrupt, sat on his metal throne, crossed his legs, and watched the factories that belonged to him begin to emit smoke.

He dispatched a large number of personnel here, including professional members of the Mechanicus. Combined with the technical resources and manpower provided by the Greenskins and the Titanium, the world will soon be able to get back into operation.

At the same time, an unexpected surprise is that this world has several production lines for the Imperial Knight mechas, although the new knights are not as powerful as those of the old families, because the Metal Throne will inherit the memories of the previous generations of masters.

A powerful knight family has a strong heritage, but the disadvantage is that the next generation is prone to becoming mentally ill.

However, the new knights can make up for their shortcomings through numbers and training. As long as the supporting equipment is arranged, the Skadi people will have their own armored regiment and knight mechas...

This is an exaggerated harvest that is enough to make any force in the entire empire jealous. At the same time, the biggest problem is whether Taylor can seize this opportunity and digest it completely.

As the saying goes, you can't digest too much, and it will be even more troublesome if you have stomach problems.

Taylor therefore prepared to dispatch more technical personnel and focus development on this world next.

But there have always been people in this world who, like sharks smelling blood, crave such opportunities, crave the opportunity to swallow flesh and blood.

Just after Taylor's troops landed, Mechanicus ships approached here.

What are they here for?
Maybe it's to regain lost territory?
But this place already belongs to Taylor.

At this moment he received the members of the Mechanicus, those guys in red robes, who spoke to him without any admiration.

"Something belongs to us, and we will take it back."

The Mechanicus member made an unsettling mechanical sound, and then Taylor asked.

"what?"

The Mechanicus member said seriously, "That is the most important thing, the best treasure..."

Taylor wondered if they were going to take their own Knight Titan production line and was prepared to fight for it.

But the other party said, "Please give me the great sage's research results."

Taylor was stunned.

This guy, is he really a lion?
