The bow of the Endurance emerged from Barbarus Mandeville Point, and gorgeous warp water splashed under the ship. The true ruler of Barbarus received an unimaginable warm welcome.
The enthusiasm was even beyond the Death Guards' imagination.
The radio waves were boiling busily in the galaxy. Fleets were coming and going, shuttling through virtual space like schools of silver fish. There was chatter and rustling, and rumors were popping up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
A stable system under the control of the Legion, a system with the political power and privileges of an entire Legion, a system with a forged satellite -
This beautiful light green gem, Barbarus, has long attracted the attention of people in nearby star regions.
Rogue traders wandering the galaxy, visionary planetary governors, middle-class speculators, and lower-class working people, people pushed and shoved their way onto spaceships, heading towards the rumored land of opportunities.
The relaxed policy previously set by Hades, the commander of the Death Guard, has worked. The upper-level rulers clink glasses here and whisper bullets of interests. It is impossible for vicious political assassinations to break out on a planet guarded by the Death Guard.
The Graeae Mechanicum, which has a keen sense of smell, built a large parking space station not far from Mandeville Point. Some hurried merchant ships can easily find buyers here and jump back to the warp after the transaction is completed.
The lower- and middle-class people who swarmed into the bottom floor of the cabin could easily find a job to support their families. After all, there were too few local Barbarus people, and they alone could not support the labor force needed by an entire galaxy.
In fact, within the empire's territory, there are not many planets near Barbarus. In this southernmost star field, human planets are sparsely distributed.
The remoteness of Barbarus is only comparable to Macragge in the far east, but the star field surrounding Macragge is far less deserted than Barbarus. Many planets are densely crowded together and noisy.
Maybe Barbarus shouldn't be so lively.
But for these planets distributed in the extreme south, Barbaros is like a star that suddenly lights up in the vast sea of stars, giving these usually unrelated human worlds an opportunity to communicate with each other.
Through Barbarus, they can learn about the Empire, the star fields around them, sign treaties with the Forge World, and exchange trade with each other.
Barbaros successfully connected these worlds in the far south.
Although this star field is quite sparse, including the southern Galasper captured by the Death Guard, there are four giant hive worlds distributed near Barbarus.
Any giant hive world is enough to accumulate countless wealth, and the upper class here has enough resources to spend.
As the news spread that Galasper had been occupied and transformed by the Death Guard, the upper echelons of other hive worlds were bound to have some concerns. In order to gather information, the giants sent their confidants to board the ships to visit Barbarus.
With the giants leading the way, the rest of the human planets naturally followed suit.
While the Death Guard were still busy fighting everywhere, a huge number of ships poured into Barbarus, and the noise and bustle made the people of Barbarus a little dizzy.
Compared with the Barbarus people, the first to react were the mechanical sages of the Mint Forge World. These experienced and cunning sages were originally losers in the Graia Forge World. The strict class system of Graia made it difficult for opportunities to favor them.
But now it is different. After being away from the sight of the main world of Graeae, facing the ships visiting Barbarus, these sages can make a lot of money from it and achieve a great leap in their lives.
Praise be to Ohm Messiah!
The Empire's expedition will not actively share technology with these human planets, so the technology of these human planets is not at the forefront of the Empire. In the face of the technology and machines sold by the Mechanical Sages, they can only obediently pay for resources.
A secure, tax-free, tech-savvy platform.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
When these stupid Barbarus people didn't know what was happening on their planet, Barbarus had already become a treasure land for making money in people's dreams, a virgin land that lacked manpower and where classes had not yet begun to be established.
As long as you have the ability, you can make a name for yourself in the noisy Barbarus star field!
And there is no need to worry that this place will eventually develop into a chaotic lawless place. Even if there are good and bad people here, those silent warriors are guarding this place. If anyone touches the red line set by the legion before, then what will greet them in the end will only be the sharp sickle.
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Barbarus grew rapidly at an astonishing speed, although the Barbarus people were a step slower in the process.
But with the exchanges with Galaspa's personnel, the Barbarus people soon joined the banquet and caught up quickly. Relying on the Death Guard, they had much more capital than others.
Barbaros is a thriving place, just like the lush corn seedlings in the Barbaros fields.
only.
In front of the viewing porthole on the Endurance, the Lord of Death slowly turned his gaze away from the Death Guard and looked at the civilian ships that seemed to be following the fleet and spewing welcome messages in different languages with smoke and light.
How did his Babarus become like this
Under the hood, Mortarion squinted his eyes, staring and identifying everything in the Barbarus star region.
The originally barren planet was undergoing massive construction. Mortarion had already seen no less than three large city groups. Space stations of varying sizes were floating in the air, and the docks were basically filled with various ships.
The star field that was once only sailed by the Death Guard and the Mechanicus fleet is now like a tree full of birds, chirping and singing.
The only thing that made Mortarion feel slightly relieved was that none of this had any effect on the anti-aircraft turrets in the Barbarus star field. The Mechanicus of Mint had even exceeded their mission, and the outermost planet had been fully armed.
But. This doesn't mean that Mortarion is in a good mood now.
Mortarion slowly put away the book in his hand. He stared silently at the civilian ships that were still following the fleet at a distance, wondering whether he should order a light spear bombardment to drive them away.
Then he opened the communication channel,
"Hades, come here and explain all this."
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Mortarion directly closed the communication. The Lord of Death stared at everything in front of him silently and fell into deep thought.
. I never promised again and looked away guiltily.
