Chapter 303 Terra Inspection, No Armor! 3+

Macragge, which has one of the five star gates in the empire, has always been a transportation hub for shipping.

These wandering merchants roaming around the galaxy are naturally the most well-informed group in the empire, but even these people who see the world with open eyes find what is happening on Macragge incredible.

In the square of Macragge, a grand military parade was being held with endless Ultramarines lined up in formation.

If that were all, the well-informed Rogue Trader would not be surprised. Instead, he would think that today was a good day to witness the Angel of Death of the Human Empire.

But the problem is that there are not only Ultramarines in the square, there are also dwarfs from the Blackwatch mixed in. If it were just that, it would be fine, and we could still praise the fact that the friendship between the Legion is stronger than gold.

But the things around this group of Astartes are rather strange. They are either blue-skinned people from Titanium with a humanoid form, or four-clawed aliens that don't even look like humans.

Looking at the complicated military parade in front of her, a little girl pointed at these weird things and asked her father:
"Dad, why would the God-Emperor's Angel of Death collude with the aliens?"

The little girl's question almost scared her father to death. He quickly covered her mouth and explained when no one was paying attention:

"Ah, Bella, you are still young, there are some things you may not understand, even though those aliens look like aliens, they are not actually aliens.

Look at those Tau people. Although they have blue skin, since they are called Tau people, they are sub-humans and our allies."

After hearing her father's explanation, Bella nodded and asked again, not quite understanding:
"But Dad, what are those things with four arms? They don't look like humans at all. Are they also subhumans?"

John Albert felt something was wrong when he noticed that some tall hooded men were looking at him. He quickly said:
"Those creatures are pets of angels, just like Alicia's dog-man. Don't ask why. Don't you want to raise a dog-man? Daddy will get you one right away.

It is said that among the dog people there is a super cool dog called the Husky, which is also a noble black and white color. It will definitely be able to play well with a quiet and cute child like you. "

When Bella heard that she would have a dog-man companion in the future, no other questions came into her mind. But when she saw a dwarf coming out from the center of the square, she was driven by curiosity and asked the last question.

"Dad, is the short guy next to the two big guys in the middle of the square also their pet?"

“Oh, that’s not a pet, just an ordinary Primarch. Moreover, he looks the same as the Primarch that our Albert family’s ancestors served, Lord Hogmenethil.

"Hmm? Lord Hogg!"

After discovering that the person opposite him was Hogg, John Albert, the current leader of the Albert family, waved his hands like crazy, trying to attract Hogg's attention.

Hearing someone calling his name, Hogg immediately spotted John, who looked quite wealthy, in the crowd and directly asked the flesh and blood beast to bring him over.

Looking at the gorgeously dressed middle-aged man in front of him, Hogg found that he did not know him, but the little girl he was holding hands with was very special. She was actually a rare untouchable person.

Before Hogg could ask, John stepped forward, shook Hogg's hand, and said excitedly:

"Sir, I am a descendant of the Albert family. My ancestor, Hill Albert, received the merchant certificate with your signature from you."

After searching carefully in his mind, Hogg suddenly remembered that he had indeed issued a unique merchant certificate, and the man was indeed called Hill Albert.

Hogg was naturally very happy to meet the descendants of an old friend after ten thousand years. He rubbed Bella's little head and responded with a smile:
"Why, is your family not doing well now?"

“No, no, no, thanks to your signature, our family has always enjoyed priority in using the Stargate. The terminals we manufacture are even sold overseas. Even aliens, no, even sub-humans, have praised them for their use.

If I hadn't known about your sudden return, I would have led my family to join you!
How come you are not in Alicia, but in Macragge? Did we come at the wrong time?"

Hogg, who was worried about how to get through, saw someone coming to his door, so he naturally didn't want to let go. He picked up the ignorant Bella and dragged John to the front of the stage, saying as he walked:
"No, you've come at the right time! The empire is in ruins and we are in need of patriotic businessmen like you. When you arrive in Holy Terra, you will have the opportunity to serve the country!
I remember your ancestors started out as transporters of colonists, right? If so, maybe you can get back to that business.

You will stand next to me in a while. I promise to give you a chance to show your face. Be alert and don't embarrass me."

John naturally did not dare to delay in being so honored. After tidying up his appearance, he followed Hogg obediently.

Seeing Hogg coming over with a little girl in his arms, Jonson and Guilliman didn't ask any questions. They were about to announce to the world that the Primarch had returned, so having one more person wouldn't make a difference. On the contrary, it would make Hogg seem more approachable.

When several servo skulls were aimed at the camera, the images of Hogg and the other two appeared directly in the Kara network, announcing their arrival to the entire empire in the manner of a king's return.

Accompanied by a burst of exciting music, Hogg read out the speech that Guilliman had prepared for him:

"Dear citizens of the Empire, even though we have been surrounded by powerful enemies over the past ten thousand years, under the leadership of countless heroes, we humans are still the overlords of the galaxy, and you are the real heroes.

Some say that the age of the Primarchs has passed, but we have not left, and we will lead the Empire into a true golden age. The blood shed over the past ten thousand years will not be in vain, and the Empire will be great again!
Finally, as the son of the God-Emperor, I, the Lord of Black Light, Hogmenethil, will go to Holy Terra with the rest of my brothers for inspection and to pay tribute to the great Lord of Mankind.

Under our collective gaze, a grand expedition is about to begin again!"

As Hogg finished speaking, the camera turned to Malcador, who had changed into the Prime Minister's skin again. Behind him were thousands of roaring Space Marines.

"Make the Empire Great Again!"

"Kill those alien bastards!"

"Waaaagh! Grab everything they have."

After hearing this deafening roar, Hogg quietly released his psionic energy to stir up the emotions of the onlookers and make everyone excited.

When purple-red mist began to spread around the square, strong emotional fluctuations even tore a hole in the subspace, polluting a large area of ​​the sea of ​​souls.

Taking this opportunity, Hogg directly ordered the three armies to set off for Holy Terra for a "review and birthday celebration", while he himself, on the long-lost Blacklight, took the lead and headed straight into the star gate.

As the mixed fleet traveled far away, some excited wandering merchants also brought their families to Holy Terra, wanting to witness this great moment of the empire in ten thousand years.

At the same time, the High Lords' Council far away in Holy Terra also saw this video, and the originally quiet conference hall suddenly became noisy.

For these rulers of the Empire, the mythical Primarchs were merely a means of controlling the Empire. Even though they were infinitely loyal to the Empire and the Lord of Mankind, they still felt a little uneasy when these demigods returned.

After all, when they are in this position, countless secrets will no longer be secrets, and scenes of great rebellion, great purge, and even the evil transformation of angels begin to emerge in their minds.

If it were any other Primarch it would be fine, but Hogg is different. As the Lord of Black Light, he is a god in the state religion on par with the God-Emperor. God knows what will happen if you anger him.

Even so, the parliament is unwilling to be lambs to be slaughtered. They are unwilling to be wiped out and let the power in their hands turn to ashes.

In order to ensure that they would not be liquidated and continue to be loyal to the God-Emperor in the days to come, the Solar Segment Navy affiliated with the High Lords Council began to assemble, including some genuine warbands.

The Assassin's Temple in the polar regions also sent a large number of assassins to ambush and eliminate important figures at critical moments.

But even so, the Council of High Lords still felt uneasy, because they knew that they must not fire the first shot unless it was a matter of life and death, otherwise the use of force would only serve as a deterrent.

On the 27th day of the total martial law in the Solar Star Region, the Terra Star Gate gradually began to move.

Seeing this, the Imperial Guards withdrew and retreated directly back to the Terra Palace, acting as if it had nothing to do with them.

The silence of the Imperial Guards actually made the Council of High Lords feel relieved. Although the entire Solar Star Region was under their control, this group of corn spirits, even though they were few in number, had the power to suppress everything.

In fact, the speculation of the Council of High Lords was completely wrong. Valdor recalled the Guards purely out of the idea of ​​protecting the Emperor. He did not want to witness a family ethics drama of a loving father and a filial son.

After the palace gates were closed, all businesses that were originally open to the public were suspended, and the two unlucky ticket-selling brothers were also trapped in the palace.

Looking at the confused Caris, the white-scarred boy Na Risong said angrily:

"Everyone said something bad was going to happen, but you just wouldn't listen. If we had run away earlier, we might be having a good time in Alicia now. Now we are trapped in the palace, and we might not even have food to eat."

Undeterred by his old friend's accusation, Carlis patted his shoulder armor nonchalantly and responded:
"What a coward! The one coming is my father, not some enemy who bought a fake ticket. If I wasn't trapped in the palace, I would have run out to welcome him!

Besides, there is a dimensional pocket in my shoulder armor, and the supplies in it are enough for the two of us to eat for 1000 years. It would be better to play a few games with that time."

At this point, Na Risong also felt that what Caris said made sense, so he took out a terminal and started playing.

But just when they were doubting their lives after being defeated ten times in a row, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from the loudspeaker inside the palace:

"Today's Terra inspection, no armor"

　Street Diary:
　　The Corgi was about to go on another long journey. When he was about to board the plane, he knew that this journey was extremely dangerous and he would definitely meet a monster named Maomei.

　　But as a failed author, what Corgi lacks the least is courage. He is not afraid of even typing, so how could he stop in the face of demons?

　　Thinking of this, Corgi resolutely stepped into the cabin in front of him, because he knew that the hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage, and he happened to be super brave!!!
