Chapter 115 A new storm has emerged
After walking out of the secret room, Hogg felt that he had made a fortune, but he pretended to be indifferent and returned to the Blacklight.

When Hogg arrived at the Blacklight's dimensional warehouse, he could no longer hold back and laughed wildly:

"Old man Huang, you really don't understand! Who wants to be a judge when they can collect taxes? I really am like Qin Shi Huang who won by touching the electric wire!"

Hogg didn't reveal the truth just now. When he felt that something bad was going to happen, he erased part of his memory. Even if Old Man Huang used psychic lie detector, it would be useless. After all, what Hogg said was what he believed to be the truth at that time.

Although Hogg is a physical player and the only thing he can show off is psychic power, his skill list is too poor, and he can't use any skills just like Daigo who drives Tiga.

But Hogg, who was proficient in manipulating flesh and blood, had his own way. He removed his own brain stem and replaced it with the core of a hive whose consciousness had been eliminated.

You have to know that Hogg does not have the vital points of a humanoid creature. The brain stem that maintains basic activities is just a piece of meat. The newly installed mother nest can be used as a consciousness backup organ, and it is full of Hogg's shameful little secrets.

Hogg returned and immediately synchronized the backup information, and found out that their success rate was not 70% but 90%.

"I laugh at Neos's recklessness and Maka's intelligence. No one can figure out the little secrets of Blackwatch."

However, what excites Hogg the most is that he got the job from the emperor to collect taxes in local areas. You know, collecting taxes is a technical job, and the scope of operation involved is sky-high.

In Hogg's previous life, there was a big country called Eagle Sauce. The most feared organization in that country was the IRS. There was a sentence that could describe how powerful they were - the only things that could not be avoided were death and taxes.

In the history of humans in the Warhammer universe, Hogg discovered that there was no record of this organization, so the Emperor and Malcador had no idea how much power this job brought.

Hogg can rely on his own transportation network and legitimately go to any planet by collecting taxes. At that time, he can send troops to any place where the tithe tax is levied.

Moreover, by then they could send out spies in the name of tax inspection, which would be much freer than the several temples under the control of Makado.

Hogg has already seen the grandeur of Blackwatch in the future. As long as the Empire still exists, Blackwatch will not fall.

This is also a way out that Hogg left for his descendants. God knows whether the Space Marines will be dealt with by the Emperor after the Great Crusade is completed.

Thinking of this, Hogg quickly asked Emilia and others to send a team of political personnel to Terra. The Space Marines on the Blacklight were all reckless men and would not do such things at all.

In the next few days, Hogg stayed directly with Makado and seriously discussed the responsibilities of the new department with him, and established a department called the Tax Bureau after the arrival of the political staff.

Holding the document printed with the blood of the Emperor, Malcador and himself, Hogg spent a huge amount of money to buy a piece of land next to the Terra Palace, and then asked Rogal Dorn to build an office for the Tax Bureau.

Looking at the completed tax bureau office building, Hogg felt that he was really going to take off this time. The golden decorations that Dorn had painted on the exterior of the building also seemed to be much more pleasing to the eye.

After leaving a team behind, Hogg was still thinking that he could really go out and have fun this time, but he was driven back to Alicia's hometown by the Emperor and asked to prepare supplies for the next expedition.

The Emperor said that he would personally lead the next expedition, and that Hogg would form a coalition with several other Primarchs to expand the Empire's territory into unknown areas. He also said that the scale of this coalition would be quite large, requiring Hogg to prepare at least 5 years of supplies and set up routes in the direction of the expedition.

After receiving the order, Hogg could only return to Alicia to prepare. Perhaps because the emperor knew about Hogg's wealth, he set a time and then ignored him, which made Hogg curse the old man Huang for being an inhuman being.

Hogg, who left Terra on the Blacklight, did not know that Trazyn's clone was released by the Emperor only after he left, and that the interrogation in the secret room was a trap set by the Emperor for Malcador.

Investigating the details of Blackwatch was just a side job. The fundamental purpose was to give Hogg a comprehensive inspection to see if the Necrons had done anything to Hogg.

If Horus knew this, he would cling to the Emperor's thigh and cry that he was the First Son of the Return and would be jealous of Hogg's favor.

At this time, Horus was in a bad mood, simply because he met some remnants of his former enemies, and these enemies were the greatest pain in Horus' expeditionary career - the Jingyuan Federation.

The first people to discover the Jingyuan Federation were actually the 40th Expedition of the Space Wolves, who then notified Horus who was nearby.

At that time, Horus believed that the Jingyuan Federation was the brother of mankind, so he sent a team of diplomats and promised to give them autonomy, hoping that they could develop together with the Empire.

However, Horus' dream was shattered. The diplomats he sent out were killed directly, and only pieces of human remains were sent back. The other side also mocked that Horus' troops were not human at all.

The Jingyuan Federation believed that the Empire was not a human regime at all, and the Space Marines did not think that these robots with only brains left were their compatriots, so the war broke out, and both sides tried every means to destroy each other.
The final result was that the mother planet of this group of so-called orthodox humans, with only their brains left, was blown to pieces, and a small number of surviving federal residents were teleported out of the battlefield, completely disappearing from the Empire's sight.

And now, this group of remnants was once again discovered by Horus, and their fate of destruction or survival depended entirely on Horus's thoughts.

On the bridge of the Spirit of Vengeance, looking at the buildings on the surface of the planet through the monitor, Horus had mixed feelings. He once again stood at the crossroads of decision.

Recalling the painful experience of the last time, Horus knew that issuing an extermination order was the easiest way, but he still believed that the creatures on the opposite side were humans, and they were just a branch of humans who had gone astray.

Like his diminutive brother, they were ultimately part of Terra, and the purpose of the Great Crusade was to rescue them and bring them into the arms of the Empire.

"Let's go! Let's evacuate here. They are no longer a threat. Our goal is the unknown territory in the distance."

Horus, who issued the order, decided to spare their lives, and the Luna Wolves' fleet sailed into the nearby Mandeville Point. A huge purple portal opened in the void, and they left.

Not long after the Moon Wolf left, a huge celestial body full of waste was suddenly teleported to the starry sky, and the terrifying green tide spread to the nearby world.

"Waaaagh!!!"

　Watermelons are so expensive. I saw a price reduction yesterday and bought one. I didn’t expect it to weigh more than ten kilograms. I ate the watermelon with tears in my eyes.
