Chapter 149: Pebolatu's Entrustment
A sudden encounter broke out, and the Orcs who had just appeared experienced what real fire suppression meant.
Thanks to the long-term transportation services provided to other legions in the galaxy, an airport was built at Mandeville Point in the Alicia star sector, and Hogg madly upgraded the airport into a fortress.
Most of the Blackwatch players who suffer from a serious fear of insufficient firepower are multi-turret advocates, believing that big is beautiful and more is better.
Over the past sixty years, countless huge cannons have been installed on the airport, and the short Black Watch have placed their hopes of growing bigger and taller on these lovely gun barrels.
Next to the subspace portal that had turned green, the dazzling golden spears of light cast a golden red glow over the void, and every second, tens of thousands of tons of artillery shells were dropped into Mandeville Point.
Even though there were only seven large companies stationed here, firepower determined everything. The surging green tide was pressed at the junction of the curtain and could not advance an inch.
This bought plenty of time for the arrival of the Blackwatch force, and two minutes and thirteen seconds later, the Blackwatch fleet stopped outside the portal.
With his guards, Hogg successfully stepped onto the deck of the Iron Blood. The Iron Warriors who had been waiting for a long time saw Hogg and pulled him to the bridge.
While running, he cried that his father was dying, and his flying tears covered Hogg's face. Before this brave man could start to snot, Hogg slapped him in the face and successfully stopped him, allowing him to concentrate on leading the way.
Perhaps because he had seen Hogg tease the Primarch in Olympia before, Thortan vo Bron suppressed his sadness and recalled what his father had just told him.
"My best stonemason, you will lead the Iron Warriors after I pass out. If you have anything, you can ask my brother Hog Menethil. And you must give Horus a good beating for me."
Soltan, who was appointed as the legion commander, only remembered the first half of the sentence - "I don't know how to find Hogg", and he never dared to think about the second half of the sentence.
That's why he lost his composure after meeting Hogg. After being awakened, Soltan explained the situation and showed Hogg the way, and they soon arrived at the bridge.
As soon as he entered, Hogg saw the tall Horus giving first aid to his eldest son. It might be because Perturabo was already foaming at the mouth, otherwise Hogg suspected that Horus would give him artificial respiration.
Vulkan next to him was holding a speaker in his hand. His power armor had been beaten to pieces, and even the sledgehammer next to him was missing a corner.
He wanted to help but his big body couldn't squeeze in at all. His pair of big red eyes glowed with excitement when he saw Hogg coming, and he ran towards Hogg.
"Brother, I think Perturabo is dying. Go and see if he is still alive. I don't want the Emperor to lose his offspring."
Regardless of why Vulkan spoke like an orc, Hogg kicked away Horus, who was about to kiss his big boy, and squatted next to Perturabo to check on him.
Horus was not angry even though he was kicked away. He was anxious and felt extremely guilty. He watched Hogg extend a tentacle and drill into the body of the unconscious Perturabo without saying anything.
Standing obediently aside, Horus now only wanted his brothers to be safe. At the same time, he burst into a strong hatred towards the orcs who were trapped in the warp behind him.
Everyone present was looking at Hogg with a frown on his face, fearing that he would say, "There's no hope, just wait to die!"
But Hogg was the second best biotechnologist in the empire after all. Having learned the original body technology from Old Man Huang, he was no ordinary mediocre doctor. The slender tentacles that covered Perturabo's body soon discovered the problem.
The examination results showed that his eldest son was fine and in good health, just like Angron, but his brain waves were a little abnormally active.
Hogg came to this conclusion after learning that Perturabo's micro-manipulated fleet had been sailing in the warp for a month.
"That's why he's tired. He has nothing to worry about."
"Don't you think about it? A man of steel would be incompetent to manage an entire fleet and escape for a month. He's lucky to be in a coma."
After hearing that their brother (father) was fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then Horus told Hogg about their experiences during this period. The Lord of the Moon Wolf sighed with a look of self-blame, without his usual scheming look, and finally added:
"Fortunately Perturabo is fine, but now these orcs have swept across the empire. We must completely eliminate them, otherwise it will be a disaster."
"Nonsense, you idiot. Don't I know the harm of orcs? If you don't kill these green-skinned orcs in one go, these ghosts will start all over again."
He took out a copy of the orcs' information and threw it to everyone, asking them to memorize the strategy to broaden their horizons first, so that they wouldn't cause trouble for him later.
In order to stabilize the morale of the troops, Hogg told them that Guilliman would soon come to Alicia's aid, and by then the five legions would be able to join together and be stable.
After hearing the good news, Horus regained his former glory and quickly contacted the Luna Wolves scattered throughout the empire. He wanted to avenge his previous humiliation.
But now that he knew Perturabo was fine, Hogg turned his attention to Vulkan who was standing next to him with a dazed look on his face. He was very curious about why the Lord of Fire Dragons had become like this.
Grabbing Horus who was about to return to the Spirit of Vengeance to gather the army, Hogg asked him about Vulkan's situation.
"Horus, why did Vulkan become like this? Why do I feel that he is weird and speaks like an orc?"
Horus really didn't know the answer to this question. He was already like this when he met Vulkan, and he was also very curious.
"I don't know. You might as well ask his descendants or the Iron Warriors next to him. I only met up with them later."
Hearing people talking about their own Primarch, an officer belonging to the Salamanders stood up and told Hogg about their experiences.
According to the Primarch's guard, the Salamanders were the first legion to encounter the Orks, and they also destroyed an Ork planet in a galaxy.
It was not until they advanced triumphantly all the way and penetrated deep into the dark starry sky outside the territory of the empire that they were engaged in a bitter battle on a planet called Ullanor.
The orcs on that planet were completely different from the previous ones. They were bigger and greener, and their tyrannical strength made the Salamanders pay a heavy price.
The crippled Salamanders had no choice but to retreat, and the Fourth Legion, which came later, joined in the melee with the greenskins in order to rescue them.
In order to cover his troops, Vulkan fought a fierce battle with the terrifying orc named Ulak-Urg, but was killed instantly by the giant beast.
But Vulkan, who had the trait of immortality, managed to survive for a week by resurrecting and reloading the game.
The surviving guard also said that he saw a green light descending upon the Primarch, and it was because of this vision that the terrifying orc let them go.
Unexpectedly, there is a master who is better at handling things than himself. Hogg also sighed at the good luck of these fire lizards, who were able to meet the second brother and come back alive.
Just when Hogg was about to see if Vulkan was really stupid, a violent green flash exploded from the Mandeville point in the distance, and a huge planet squeezed out.
The huge celestial body directly blocked the light from the star, casting a shadow over the human fleet here.
"Horus, I shouldn't have called you trash. Why the hell is he so big?"
