Chapter 203: Dog's Great Expedition, Who Said I'm Dead?
The sky in Alicia was still as blue as ever, but Perturabo, bathing in the sun, was not in a good mood.

It has been eight years since Hogg disappeared, and he has been in charge of Blackwatch for eight years. However, they have searched the galaxy thoroughly, but there is still no trace of Hogg.

At that time, after receiving the communication from Black Watch, Perturabo put down all the matters in his hands and rushed to Alicia as quickly as possible to take charge of the situation.

Fortunately, he arrived in time, otherwise this group of Black Watch who had lost their Primarch might have caused some trouble.

Lin En, the first heir to the Blackwatch, actually wanted to launch a mutiny. Fortunately, he discovered it in time, otherwise the empire would have fallen apart.

Black Watch, which controls 80% of the empire's logistics and transportation, has this ability, and Perturabo also believes that they have this determination. In the end, it was Curze, who looked like Hogg, who calmed everyone down.

Koz had no choice but to dye his hair white, act like a fool all day long, and imitate Hogg's tone to remind the black cans who lost their father of his lost father.

But now, Perturabo just wanted to shoot Angron who made this suggestion. Who knew that the seemingly steady Curze was actually an alien enthusiast.

Today, the Black Watch is obsessed with Eldar bathing, and even their own Iron Warriors are showing signs of being abnormal.

But in recent years, the bad-tempered Pei Tu Labo has changed his personality. In the past, when he encountered such things, he would directly shoot the offenders, but even he has learned to be gentle.

After all, Hogg had prepared many emergency plans, the highest priority of which was to let him succeed him as the commander of the Blackwatch.

This sudden and heavy trust made Perturabo dare not relax at all. He would rather give up the Great Crusade and protect the foundation left by Hogg.

But it must be said that when Perturabo took over Blackwatch, he discovered for the first time that Hogg had hidden so many good things.

Densely packed warehouses covered every planet where Black Watch was stationed. Just the pocket dimension on the Blacklight ship contained more supplies than the entire Fourth Legion combined.

The most infuriating thing was that Perturabo discovered that all these good things were obtained through fraud by the Black Watch, and among them was even a full set of court costumes that his sister Kelly Fanny wore when she was a child.

In addition to such private things, such as the motorcycle of the Guards, the hood of the Lion King, the hammer of Frus, the feather of Sanguinius, he even saw an alien warehouse manager hired by Blackwatch.

And that skeleton, who looked extremely heretical at first glance, was still smoking the Empire's latest e-cigarette with his fleshless body.

"Why do Necrons smoke?"

Touching the adamantium bracelet that Hogg had once given him, and looking at Curze teasing the Eldar in the distance, Perturabo felt powerless and hesitant.

At this time, Hogg also felt very powerless. God knows that the Milky Way tens of millions of years ago was so cruel!

Ever since he started the dog expedition, all he's encountered are fucking monsters, and monsters in the literal sense of the word.

Compared with the Great Crusade launched by the Empire in the next 30 years, the galaxy today is full of vitality and everything is flourishing.

There are numerous complex alien creatures, with a strange numerical value, and the depth of the water is completely incomparable to that of later generations.

Their space battleship with dog paw prints on it was actually knocked down by the fist of an indigenous creature that had not left the planet.

At that time, if Hogg had not risked his own life and relied on his incredibly thick health bar to wear him down, the fleet that had just left the planet would have been gone.

Later they saw many intact star gods, which frightened Hogg so much that he shrank his little tail and ordered the fleet to turn around quickly, for fear of being discovered by these physical gods.

The bad news is that every race has extremely powerful people, who are as fierce as little emperors. A brick can kill two of them.

The good news is that the Milky Way is relatively peaceful now, and the subspace is as calm as a stagnant pool of water, which allows the Dog Empire to operate stealthily between the planets.

This dog expedition exudes a cowardly atmosphere from the inside out, but its merits outweigh its flaws. The Dog Empire has occupied a good galaxy.

Thanks to the optimistic and silly character of the dog-headed people, the Dog Empire has also established diplomatic relations with multiple races and successfully gained a foothold on this galactic stage.

But Gotha, the warmaster of the Dog Empire, was not happy.

As the expedition progressed, more and more worlds were incorporated into their territory, and the materials Hogg needed were almost gathered.

The ship behind him contained the last missing material. Gotha knew that as long as he handed them over to Hogg, his teacher who had been with him for 88 years would leave him.

But when he thought about the increasingly frequent strange phenomena around the two imperial leaders and that this timeline could no longer accommodate them, Gotha made up his mind.

A month later, Hogg arrived at this timeline on the day of the 88th year. Countless imperial soldiers lined up neatly in the square of the royal city, witnessing the departure of that great man.

Under the fluttering dog-print flag is a road of glory cast in brass, and the huge brass throne symbolizes the prosperous future of the Dog Empire.

Just below the throne, Magnus was carving the magic circle that brought them here. Several Magdogs were using their psychic powers to move the spell materials that had already been packaged.

This version of the magic circle has been tested many times by Magnus, and Hogg has even created a capsule that can withstand turbulence.

Looking at Gotha who was reluctant to leave, Hogg who was sitting on the throne stood up and took off the red cloak he had been wearing in front of thousands of soldiers.

After 88 years of baptism, although Gotha still looked timid, Hogg also saw a determination in his eyes. Waving his paw, Hogg signaled Gotha to come forward.

As if realizing something, Gotha, who had become the Imperial War Marshal, knelt on one knee, raised his dog head, and looked at Hogg, who had been with him for a long time.

Hogg did not make any extra moves. He just handed his cloak to his heir, patted his head, and said:
"Dog, I'm leaving now. The empire is thriving. I believe that with your ability, you will protect this foundation and carry it forward."

Hogg's words were deeply engraved in Goda's mind.

This made him determined to lead the Dog Empire to complete this great expedition and fly the flag of the empire in every corner of the galaxy.

Only in this way, even in Hogg's time, he could see traces of the Dog-Man Empire.

Magnus, who had completed the preparation work, was shouting Hogg's name from a distance, asking him to come quickly.

Just like that, under the watchful eyes of thousands of soldiers, His Majesty the Emperor, who led them to conquer the continent and cross the starry sea, stepped into the magic circle.

As the surging spiritual energy poured in, a colorful light enveloped the space. A dog and a horse hurriedly jumped into the capsule and disappeared above the square with a burst of intense white light.

Looking at the disappearing magic circle, Godard hated witchcraft so much for the first time.

Just like a dream, the person who shouldn't have appeared came here and brought him a grand vision.

Slowly stepping up the stairs, Gotha came to the brass throne made for Hogg's bad taste and sat down heavily.

Because of his body shape, he could only use the scarlet king's cloak as a scarf and wrap it around his neck.

Since then, the Imperial War Marshal Goda became the second emperor of the Dog Empire. Under his leadership, the entire empire once again began a grand expedition.

As time went by, the increasingly powerful Dog-Man Empire encountered an expansionist force called the Ancients, and a brutal war spanning the entire galaxy broke out between the two sides.

The calm mirror of the Warp was stirred up, and a huge storm swept across the Sea of ​​Souls, causing the Dog-Man Empire, which was not proficient in psychic power, to suffer successive defeats.

The world that was once the capital of the empire was torn apart by the powerful psychic power of the ancient saints, and half of the planet's remains were swallowed into the subspace.

Since then, the Ancient Saints have become the overlords of this galaxy.

The consequence of the war was the extinction of most life in the galaxy, and the peaceful subspace became a strange and turbulent ocean of energy.

In order to ensure the continuation of life and the stability of the subspace, the ancient saints who have become overlords began repair work on a cycle of tens of millions of years and spread new life throughout the galaxy.

But this group of psychic toads did not realize that a consciousness filled with anger was born from the depths of the subspace.

The moment He opened His huge blood-red eyes, a race that had suffered from death became His first step in His counterattack, and this race fired the first shot of chaos.

However, the timid soul of the past has been completely lost in the depths of the sea of ​​​​the soul, and that beautiful dream has long become a sacrifice to chaos.

…………

In Alicia's square, ever since Hogg's disappearance, Blackwatch has set this day of every year as a festival - the Primarch's Ascension Day.

Although these canned kids were sad about losing their father, their silly nature allowed them to adapt to the situation.

After all, the death of a Primarch would bring endless sorrow to the Space Marines, but no Black Watch member felt that way.

Even the Emperor made it clear that Hogg was just missing and he saw no signs of Hogg's death.

Therefore, in order to commemorate Hogg, every year on this day, a group of Black Watch will cry at the grave, using huge roars to express their remembrance of their father.

The Black Watchers in mourning sat together with several huge candles in the center. Coze, who looked exactly like Hogg, lay in the coffin and acted as a model.

Ross, with a loud voice, beat his chest and stamped his feet, and his superb acting skills attracted a lot of applause:
"Father! How could you die? Please come back soon. I still haven't reimbursed you for the bathing expenses you owe me."

Ross shed a few tears when he thought of this, and sang along to the funeral music handed down from ancient Terra, looking like a filial son.

Just as a group of cloaked cockroaches were dancing wildly, a violent white light flashed, and colorful ripples tore open the space.

With a loud "bang!"

A broken capsule fell down and hit Koz who was pretending to be dead, causing the young man who was about to fall asleep to fall asleep completely.

But before Blackwatch could react, a familiar roar sounded from the center of the square:
"Who the hell said I was dead┗|｀O′|┛, get out of here."

　Actually, I deleted about 2 chapters of the story of Dog's Expedition. I'll make a sequel when I have time.
