Warhammer, but Emperor's Chosen

The first one is the planet's obligations to the empire, and the last two are the benefits the empire provides to the planet.

Because even in the human empire, responsibilities and obligations are relative, otherwise why would they be willing to pay taxes to you?

Before joining the empire, the worlds colonized by Huron could not enjoy the benefits provided by the empire, so naturally they did not have to pay taxes.

No matter how corrupt the empire is, it would not impose taxes on the time before this planet joined the empire.

If it is a wild planet in the development stage, the empire will even generously grant tax-free benefits for a period of time.

But even with so many benefits, Huron still refuses to pay taxes, which can only mean one thing - the benefits of tax evasion are greater than paying taxes!

Thorn Palace, conference room.

Huron opened the Thinker and showed Noah a holographic star map. He introduced and explained:

"Of the 15 planets you gave me, were colonized by Orks. Because they lacked sufficient value and were too difficult to clean up, I reported them all to the Empire for processing.

"Among the other 85 planets, 11 are primitive and barren planets that have not yet been developed. The remaining 74 are all lost colonies of mankind, but only 13 of them have knowledge of the Empire. They are all Imperial colonies that were lost in the past few thousand years.

"Like other orc colonized planets, I have reported these 13 planets to the Empire for processing. The Empire will be responsible for clearing the orcs and the preliminary construction. In return, they will also need to pay a tithe to the Empire."

After a pause, Huron continued, "These planets were reported to the Empire in the name of the von Valancius Dynasty, so they are all considered part of the dynasty. They are now managed by General Arabed. But don't worry, we will each have half of this part."

Noah nodded to show that he didn't care. He asked:

"Where's the rest?"

"The remaining 61 planets have long forgotten the existence of the Empire. They may be colonies left over from the Dark Age of Technology. Among them, there are 14 agricultural worlds, 4 hive worlds, 2 paradise worlds, 1 forge world, 5 industrial worlds, and the remaining 35 worlds are civilized worlds of varying degrees of development."

"Of course, this is just a rough classification. In fact, due to tens of thousands of years of isolation, these worlds lack the ability to survive on their own. Therefore, the population of the four hive worlds is only tens of billions, many of the hives are empty, and the plasma reactors have long been abandoned. But I sent people to check, and these hives only need simple repairs to be revitalized.

"The situation in the Forge World and the Industrial World is slightly better. Their population is not large to begin with, so they can barely maintain themselves. However, the production in the factories will inevitably be abandoned. So I made a partial deal with the Mechanicus and signed a contract with them to purchase 5 billion servitors."

After a pause, Huron explained, "Of course, they used the excuse of developing the 28 worlds reported. They were unaware of the existence of the Forge World and the Industrial World. But it was also because the contracts were too large that the Imperial Inquisitor discovered the flaw. After all, the development of those 28 worlds did not require so many servitors."

"Of course, I have anticipated this. When the time is right, I will throw out an industrial world as bait to attract their attention."

Noah was thoughtful, because according to Huron's introduction, this was indeed not a big deal. Even if the Inquisition targeted them, as long as the Inquisition did not go to the star maps of those worlds, they would not be able to find evidence.

Noah is more concerned about another thing now——

Noah asked doubtfully:

"How do you manage these worlds?"

"For those less important worlds, I let them govern themselves directly. The merchant fleet will be responsible for most of the trade between the worlds. By the way, these merchant ships were purchased in the name of the von Valancius Dynasty. Miss Jeanna also knows this. These merchant ships have no navigators and are only allowed to sail on fixed routes.

"As for the rest."

Huron's lips curled up slightly, "Forge World, Industrial World and Hive World are all managed by our people."

"Star Claw?"

"And the Mantis Warriors, the Soul Drinkers, and the Weepers."

Noah asked curiously:

"How many of you are there now?"

Huron did not answer, but just held up four fingers and gestured twice.

Noah asked, "Four thousand?"

"Four thousand four."

Huron corrected.

"Why are there so many?" Noah looked surprised.

Huron Road:

"I used the entire group's gene-seed reserves and also withheld the gene-seed tax that should have been paid. Don't worry, there are legitimate reasons for this. After all, we also suffered considerable losses when we discovered those reported imperial worlds.

"As for our people, we only maintain a scale of 1,000 people to the outside world, and the rest are in charge of management in the colonies."

Huron had a righteous expression on his face from beginning to end, which made Noah look strange.

Let the Space Marines run the colonies...

hiss!

"What's wrong?" Huron thought Noah's eyes looked a little strange.

"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered a compliment from Gu Taila."

Huron was in the mood:

"Oh? What is it?"

Noah said seriously:

"You have inherited a lot from your father!"

"really."

Huron is not humble at all, he is extremely proud, and he also feels that he is more like his father than his other brothers.

With his current achievements, can others do it?

Noah asked:

"Even if there are people, what about the equipment? Where did you get it? Did you trade it with the Mechanicus?"

If you want to train space warriors, you need more than just people.

The recruits are easy to deal with, the surgeries are easy to deal with, but the equipment is hard to deal with.

As long as you have a hive world, you can have as many recruits as you want.

In the original timeline, Huron had developed eighty years further than it does now, but he only had 4500 Space Marines.

This was partly because Huron had been trying to maintain the situation in the Maelstrom before his rebellion, and partly because of equipment limitations.

The source of soldiers is easy to solve, and guns can be replaced, but power armor cannot.

Huron used the withheld tithes to make a deal with the Mechanicus, and was able to barely gather 4500 sets of power armor within years.

But even if he has 4400 men now, isn’t it useless without power armor?

Huron smiled and asked:

"Have you forgotten that we also have a Forge World?"

"Is there a production line for power armor up there?"

Huron nodded slightly:

"Yes, there are MK2, MK3, and MK4 production lines, but I mainly produce MK4. In the past ten thousand years, the Forge World has long abandoned the production and maintenance of these factories. There are less than two thousand sets of power armor in the warehouse, most of which are produced by us."

Noah was keenly aware of something unusual:

"What about the Terminator?"

"Also."

Huron grinned, "There are two types in total, the Iron Cavalry and the Hades."

Noah took a deep breath:

"what about others?"

Huron waved his hand and said modestly:

"We do have other equipment, but they are all obsolete models. They are not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"

"..."

Noah's eye twitched. Huron.

Don't say it, don't say it!

Just like Mr. Pi, whose temper has improved a lot since he no longer has to work for others.

Huron now has money, people, and equipment. He is in much better spirits and is extremely humble!

But now Huron really has the confidence to be humble.

Although MK2, MK3, and MK4 are all old models of power armor, it is well known that in the Warhammer world, the older the armor, the more powerful it is.

If these power armors were placed in other chapters, at least the chapter champion would be qualified to wear them!

Because the Empire no longer has the ability to produce these power armors, only a few chapters such as the Iron Hands can still produce the new MK4 power armor.

As for the Terminator A, it is even more heavyweight!

During the Great Crusade, there were three types of Terminator armor commonly used by Space Marines:

Indomitable, Iron Cavalry, and Hades.

The Indomitable Terminator Armour was designed during the Horus Heresy as a means of quickly replacing the heavy losses suffered by both sides in the Civil War.

The Iron Cavalry Terminator Armor has additional shield generators installed on the shoulder armor, which can provide the wearer with better protection, but as a price, these additional shield generators cause the Iron Cavalry Terminator Armor to have extremely poor mobility.

As for the Hades-type Terminator Armor, it can provide its wearer with better flexibility and mobility than the Indomitable-type Terminator Armor, while maintaining the latter's level of protection.

The best is undoubtedly the Hades type, while the Unyielding type and the Iron Cavalry type each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

However, in 40K, it’s not a question of what armor you want to wear, but a question of whether you have any to wear!

Due to the outbreak of the Horus Heresy, the Imperium lost a large number of irreplaceable Forge Worlds, as well as many STC design templates, including the Iron Knight and Hades Terminator Armor.

In 40K, whether it is the Empire or the Traitors, the only Terminator armor that can be produced is the Indomitable type. The Iron Knights and Hades are all relic-level and must be kept on display at all times!

Just one forge world, with a full set of equipment production lines from the Great Crusade era. You told me it was a world of the "long forgotten empire", but this is pure Qingming Festival newspaper burning - you are fooling around!

But this kind of thing is tacitly understood, those who understand it understand it, and only fools would publicize it.

Not to mention Huron, even if it was Noah, he would have to make the same statement to the outside world - no, there was no way the outside world would know about this!

Just like Rome.

If anyone dares to appear in Rome, the Love and Peace, which is responsible for guarding Rome, will teach them what love and peace are.

Noah asked curiously:

"How many Lamenters and Mantis Warriors are there now?"

Huron thought for a moment and put on a layer of armor for himself:

"I didn't ask about their size. You know, even if we are allies, this is a secret of the Chapter. But according to my estimate, there should be 1800 Lamenters and around 2400 Mantis Warriors."

After saying this, Huron said with regret, "They still have some concerns and can't let go."

Indeed, who can compare with you!

Noah nodded silently. The Weepers, Mantis Warriors and Star Claws were all in the same boat - they were all afraid of being poor.

Now that we finally have money and equipment, expansion has become inevitable.

Of course, they must still have awe for the holy scriptures in their hearts.

The current expansion is definitely due to being fooled by Huron.

Come to think of it - as a sub-group of the Ultramarines, you, the Astral Claws, do not abide by the Holy Code, so why should I?

But precisely because none of the three parties complied, the relationship between the three parties became closer. After all, they are now accomplices!

Huron asked:

"Noah, do you think we should slow down our scale?"

Noah met Huron's probing gaze, thought for a moment, and said in deep thought:
