Chapter 187 The Traces of the Crow
The sun always comes after the rain, and there will be a rainbow when we meet!
But now Hogg just wanted to sing a song "Liang Liang" for himself. He had just been beaten up, and the old man Huang's anger had subsided. He could do what he was supposed to do from now on.

But damn Leman Russ is really a dog!
The little poem that Hogg wrote out of inspiration actually hit the nail on the head when it came to him. Hogg, who should have been very happy about making a fortune, broke out in a cold sweat.

And because it was a test terminal, in order to demonstrate its excellent performance, Hogg directly connected to the palace's broadcast and turned it up to the maximum.

But this time, the entire palace was filled with Hogg's poems mocking the emperor, and the rhyming verses lingered on the top of the Himalayas.

Even the Terra Hive received the signal from the Palace, and Hogg's voice echoed in the streets and alleys, giving the Emperor a successful social death.

Several Primarchs silently moved away from Hogg, fearing that they would be splattered with blood. Even the Emperor's Guards felt fear for the first time and retreated silently.

The sun's rays shone on the emperor, but his handsome face could not be seen clearly due to the light, only a shadow was revealed.

Hogg, who was still trying to explain something, shed tears of excitement as he watched the emperor walking towards him step by step, and hugged Old Man Huang's thigh:
"Father, I love you! Look how much we are alike. You must have made mistakes when you were young, right? I won't do it again next time."

In order to show his father-like nature, Hogg controlled his hair to turn black, took out a laurel crown of the same type as the Emperor's and placed it on his head.

"Kill~"

"What? Father, have you forgiven me? I know you love me the most."

"Son~"

"Fool? Well, I'm a fool, so be it! I admit that I'm a fool, but you can't beat me up."

Hogg, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, had not yet stood up when he heard the Emperor utter the last two words.

“No regrets”

"Bang!" A huge sonic boom swept all around, and the shock wave directly tore open the clouds in the sky, so that the violent explosion on the top of the Himalayas could be seen from orbit.

The extremely angry emperor no longer held back and punched Hogg on the head with a powerful punch filled with ten thousand years of spiritual energy, allowing this rebellious son to successfully enjoy the pleasure of his physical body breaking through the first cosmic speed.

The extreme force made Hogg fly into space like a rocket. Within a few seconds, he had left the Earth's orbit and headed straight for the moon.

A few minutes later, the Lunar Defense Force sent a notice that an unidentified flying object had hit the surface of the planet and penetrated into the lunar stratum.

However, the Emperor did not completely let Hogg go. He used his psychic power to pull out the rebellious son who had plunged into the moon.

Hogg ran an astronomical distance in a few minutes, his brains flying out, and he lay on the ground unable to get up, but he was still alive. His 2.2-meter-tall body was still twitching stubbornly, and blood spurted out from time to time.

"Gurgle." The sound of swallowing saliva came one after another.

This made the self-righteous Primarchs realize for the first time how powerful their old man was, and they were afraid of following in Hogg's footsteps. They did not have the tenacious vitality of Hogg. If they were hit by a punch, they would have turned into ashes long ago.

But unlike others, looking at the emperor's shocking blow, Luojia, who possessed amazing wisdom, made up his mind as if he had seen a miracle.

[My father must be a god, I am not wrong! ]

The unfortunate Hogg was beaten twice in one day, and was successfully weakened. He didn't even want to move and could only pretend to be dead. But his little tricks could be hidden from others, but not from the Emperor. He picked up the power halberd of the Imperial Guard and stabbed Hogg's buttocks. The two gluteus maximus muscles stuck to the edge of the blade, and it could not move forward.

Unable to play dead, Hogg jumped up, pulled out the weapon behind him, and pretended to be calm.

"You rebellious son, if I die, it must be because of you. I will spare you this time. If the terminal installation fails, I will settle the score with you."

After saying this, the emperor turned around and left. He had used too much force when he hit Hogg just now, and now half of his body was numb. In order to show off his status, he could only pretend to be normal and returned to the palace.

As soon as Old Man Huang left, Hogg turned around and stared at Leman Russ who caused him to be beaten:
"Dog, I'll remember you. Next time I'll let you experience the ultimate insult."

But the foul-mouthed Hogg did not take any action. He was very weak now and might not even be able to defeat Angron. Instead, he started to sell his terminal to his brothers.

"You guys who are fighting on the front lines only need to fight. People like me who are doing scientific research have to think about more. Even though my terminal is not good-looking, it is practical!
With this thing, our legions can communicate with each other, and we don’t have to be like last time, when we didn’t know the orcs had reached our homeland.”

The Primarchs, having witnessed the wonderful use of the terminal, understood that what Hogg said was right, and given the Emperor's orders, they had no choice but to do as he ordered.

Therefore, taking advantage of the reconstruction of the empire, the Nila terminal was officially deployed in the jurisdiction of each legion, and the psionic network began to connect.

Even some sparsely populated death worlds enjoyed the experience of knowing other worlds without leaving home, as Black Watch construction teams traveled around the galaxy.

A forging world called Kiaval was also successfully connected to the Internet, which allowed some people who should not have known about the empire to hear about Hogg's existence.

Perhaps in order to recruit more people to immigrate to Alicia, Blackwatch's promotional videos are spread across every section of the Internet like rogue advertisements.

As long as you use the Internet to browse content, you will receive Blackwatch's recruitment advertisements, letting every world that joins the empire know about the existence of such a strange place.

Lycaeus is a mineral-rich planet of the Forge World of Kiavar.

The first population to come into this world were all criminals and slaves exiled from Chiavar. They lived in simple domes and were guarded by cruel overseers.

These humans survive by providing high-quality ores to the nearby technology union, but their living environment is not very good. It is a typical imperial mineral world.

Perhaps it was God's will that the miserable life in Lycaeus shaped the tenacity of its residents and the habit of collective working.

This allows the oppressed miners to possess a moral standard that exceeds the average level of the empire, and precious kindness.

The slave girl, Nasturi Avreniya, was washing the miners' clothes as usual. This job was the only way for her to get the meager food to survive.

But the friendly miners took good care of this hardworking and simple girl and often brought her some huge rats.

After washing today's clothes, Evelinia happily returned to her cabin carrying rat meat, ready to nourish her brother.

And her younger brother is called Corax.
