Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 10 Patrolling the Territory
As Ron's senior steward, Bayev was of course well aware of this.

He gave a detailed introduction to the areas, armies, population and hostile forces that the Royal Court currently controls.

In addition to the Spire Court area, Ron also controls about one-third of the Upper Nest area and has a planetary defense force of more than 50,000 people.

The rest of the Upper Nest is ruled by the Hof family and warbands of all sizes, led by the Grey Wolf.

Under the influence of the rebellion, the Upper Hive area has now become extremely chaotic, like a microcosm of the entire hive city.

As a former vassal of the Grant family, the Horman family's evil ambitions are obvious.

Last night's attack was most likely carried out by the Horman family.

Their power is growing stronger day by day, and I believe it won’t be long before they launch a full-scale attack.

Bad news comes one after another.

But there is also good news.

As a result of the rebellion, millions of refugees flocked to the Upper Nest and stayed.

Ron controls a population of nearly two million.

This gave him a basic demographic base.

As long as it is managed well, the power of hope provided can restore some of the little sun's abilities.

Take it step by step in the future, counterattack is not a dream!
"Then we won't go to the lower nest. Let's just hang out in the control area of ​​the upper nest."

Ron decided to take a tour of the territory.

"God, that's too dangerous."

Bayev was a little worried and advised: "It is better for you to stay in the Royal Court.

The assassins of the Horman family have been looking for an opportunity. If anything happens to you, the Grant family will be finished!"

Ron couldn't deny it. He looked at Bayev and said, "You can protect me, right?"

If the Royal Court cannot protect its master in the area under its control, it would be useless.

He might as well wash his neck and wait for someone to wipe it.

Besides, as a psychic, he is not without the ability to protect himself.

In this cruel world where the strong are king, cowardice is a fatal flaw.

He, Ron, was cautious but not a coward.

He is the Planetary Governor, ruler of Ers.

If he keeps hiding in the royal court and dares not go out, he won't face his people and won't make any promises.

As the situation becomes increasingly deteriorating, more and more people will lose trust in him and their awe of him.

If this situation continues to spread, his power will collapse and his rule will become ineffective.

What awaits Ron is only death.

"Sir, we can protect you!" Bayev straightened up and spoke in a firm tone.

Last night's attack made Bayev feel deeply ashamed and humiliated. He actually put the Grant family bloodline in such danger, which was unforgivable!

He dared to guarantee with his life that he would never let the Governor come into harm again!
"Okay!" Ron said in an unquestionable tone: "That's settled then."

After the arrangements were made, Ron followed Bayev out of the Spire Mansion.

Under the escort of the Royal Guards led by Carter, he drove out of the royal court in a hovercraft.

It was not until this time that Ron truly saw the current appearance of the Royal Court District.

There are traces of war and potholes everywhere.

Thousands of years of luxurious buildings and exquisite statues have fallen into disrepair.

After experiencing such a disaster, it is lucky that the Royal Court District can be maintained. How can it have the ability to repair it?
The hovercraft passed through the sacred square, and Ron looked up at the 100-meter-high statue of the God Emperor, and was shocked. Unfortunately, the statue of the God Emperor was also damaged, with its nose blown off by some heretic, a section of its arm missing, and the base full of rubble.

Outside the Royal Court, everything became dirty, messy and crowded.

Shangchao District used to be the residence of nobles and officials. It had a small population and was mostly residential areas, entertainment streets, gardens, etc., with almost no industry.

After the rebellion, the Upper Nest area lost the supply of various resources from the Lower Nest and resources became extremely scarce.

For this reason, Shangchao had to undergo a major transformation, temporarily establishing various industrial zones and fungus cultivation bases, and starting an assembly line for producing corpse starch.

The refugees were organized and worked in various factories, mines, and cultivation bases.

Even so, Shangchao District cannot support so many people.

Various reserve resources have been exhausted and food has become increasingly scarce.

More and more people can’t even afford to eat corpse starch once a day and can only starve to death!

Countless people were born in squalor, toiled in misery every day, and then died in the streets, with no one to sing or mourn.

This is their fate.

Ron sat in the hovercraft, looking at the people falling down and dying of hunger on the street, and felt sad for them.

"How many people die here every day?" Ron asked.

"People die every day, it's hard to count." Bayev shook his head: "In fact, the people living here are considered good. If they fall into the hands of the Horman family or the war gang, it would be worse than death..."

Ron was silent. He saw the way people looked at him: confusion, numbness, fear, and even hatred.

The situation is more difficult than he imagined!

It is extremely difficult for him to gain the support of the people now, and it would be good if there is no large-scale rebellion.

Not far away, another old woman fell to the ground and died, and the people stared at the body with eager eyes.

But they were soon dispersed, and heavily armed body collectors came and dragged the bodies away.

Bayev noticed Ron's puzzled look and explained: "Any resources are extremely precious and must not be wasted."

Ron suddenly understood something.

Instead of being sent to landfills or incinerators, those bodies are sent to special machines to be broken down into protein and made into corpse starch, allowing more people to continue living.

Cruel, but helpless!

Ron secretly decided that he had to change all this, but there was little he could do now.

The food stocks in the warehouses gradually ran out, and Wangting District soon lost the ability to maintain its army.

It is said that the situation in the territories of the Horman family and the Grey Wolf War Gang is even worse, and food is almost exhausted.

In order to maintain stability, they began to slaughter those people who were unable to work or had weak working ability and made them into corpse starch to sustain the army.

They also have a population of several million and should be able to sustain themselves for a long time.

Now the Shangchao area is like a closed poison jar. Whoever is more poisonous and cruel will survive.

But Ron refused to win in such a cruel way, he wanted to think of other ways.

Perhaps the little sun in the warp could help him break this situation.

Night was approaching. After patrolling half of the territory and witnessing too much human suffering, Ron could no longer bear to watch any further.

"Go back..." He closed his eyes and asked Bayev to take him back.

When we returned to the Spire Mansion in the Royal Court, the maids had already prepared dinner.

Ron sat in the luxurious restaurant, looking at the sumptuous dinner, but he didn't have much appetite.

The situation is serious and he must find a way out!
