Chapter 318: Questioning the Emperor, Understanding the Emperor, and Surpassing the Emperor
Unlike the stupid sunburned one-eyed Ogryn, the Empire is now able to maintain its vast territory, and Magnus is at least half responsible for it.

Although he did not escape at the beginning, he still relied on self-destruction to force the evil god back, successfully allowing the Emperor to escape with the three Primarchs, and dealing a heavy blow to the Human Empire.

Therefore, even though Magnus was gone, the Empire had not forgotten this great Red King, and even the High Lords' Council at the time often praised Xiao Ma as a real man.

The few remaining Thousand Sons were not coveted by any force and were successfully transformed into Grey Knights, tasked with training Imperial think tanks and suppressing Chaos invasions.

The above is all the information that Hogg learned from the Kara Network and other Primarchs, but when Goldar took out a handful of Magnus's Soul Stones, he still felt it was too bizarre:
"Dog, how did you get such a precious thing?"

Not only Hogg, but everyone else was also very curious. Logically, Magnus' soul fragment should be in the hands of the Grey Knights, so how could it be obtained by Godard?

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Gotha rubbed his mouth, pointed at himself proudly and introduced himself:
"I am not talented enough..."

"Wait a minute, you're not a human, you're a dog!" Ross interrupted.

"..."

"I am not a talented dog, but I am not only the leader of the dogmen, but also the Grand Master of the Grey Knights. In addition, I am one of the three leaders of the Knight Council and I am in charge of the promotion and appointment of the Grey Knights."

Having said this, Gotha took out a star medal and hung it on his chest, looking like a complete dog.

Hogg suddenly found it hard to recognize Gotha in this state.

In his eyes, Goda has always been the good-for-nothing who was lazy and could only do nothing. Even his abilities were so weak that they made people become cowardly. He had been slacking off with him, but suddenly he became so powerful that Hogg found it a little hard to accept.

But before Hogg could sigh at how successful the dog was and how he could already wear a star medal on his chest, Ross beside him ruthlessly exposed Gotha's disguise:
"Don't believe this dog's lies. Others may not know, but I do!"

"Although the Grey Knights today appear to be dominated by the Thousand Sons, more than half of their members are dogmen. If you see a big guy without taking off his helmet, there is a high chance that he has a dog's head underneath."

"And don't think his work is hard. This guy is not as honest as you think. He actually secretly manipulates promotions and dismissals, using the banner of the Grey Knights to secretly expand his own pockets."

Hearing that Goldar could influence the promotion of the Grey Knights, everyone ignored Magnus at the table and wanted to hear how this guy did it.

Gotha, who originally wanted to show off, felt for the first time that Ross was really a chatterbox. Compared with him, he was not worthy of being a dogman at all. He was the real dog.

"It's not as shady as he said. The Magdogs under my command were promoted entirely based on their genuine achievements. There is no shady manipulation at all!"

Seeing that Gotha was still not honest, Ross directly revealed a big bomb:
"Ah, yes! Yes! Yes! The battle record is indeed true, but both sides are full of your people, father. You don't know, this bastard actually directed and acted in the play himself. I don't know where he got a group of Khorne demons to act in the play. This is all a conspiracy!"

"The most ridiculous thing is that those demons are old actors. They haven't changed in the past three thousand years. If we hadn't run into them when we went to the border area for a massage last time, everyone would have been kept in the dark by this dog."

Seeing that his little secret had been completely exposed, Godana was so angry that his hair stood on end, and he opened his big mouth and wanted to bite Ross.

But Ross was no pushover. He thought he couldn't beat Gotha, so he just walked around the table and, with the help of others, he even walked the dog around the house. However, the man and the dog completely forgot about Hogg's existence. Before they could continue to fool around, Hogg grabbed the dog's head and pressed it on the table.

Looking at these two troublesome things, Hogg gave them a loving scolding and asked them to take care of heroes and good men take care of good men and report on each other.

Just like the dark forest in the era of deterrence, the man and the dog, who did not want to be controlled by the other party, revealed all kinds of negative information about the other party, completely disregarding the consequences.

Lynn and Emilia looked at each other and took out pen and paper to record on the spot how many good things they could get from these two pieces of parasites.

You wouldn't know until you count it, and you'll be shocked once you do. According to Emilia's calculations, the profits squeezed out of these two things are enough to cover the cost of rebuilding the legion, and there will even be some left over if you use them sparingly.

Looking at the thick list in Hogg's hand, the man and the dog quickly shut their mouths. They suddenly felt like the sky was falling, fearing that Hogg would kill his son (dog) without regrets.

But at this time the difference between Hogg and the emperor is reflected. Unlike Huang Laohan, who only knows how to use force and is short-sighted and eager for quick success, Hogg pays attention to legitimacy. He likes slow and steady progress. After all, persistence is the bottom line.

Rubbing the two men's heads, Hogg said gently like a loving father, "I can see that both of you are first-rate talents. When the legion was in danger, you chose to contribute your own strength in this way.

Don't worry, I won't take your things for nothing, just keep them with me for now, and I'll give them to you when you grow up."

At this point, Hogg took out a piece of heavy gold and rubbed two medals for them on the spot. He also asked someone to issue an announcement in the Alicia star zone to ensure that he was not fooling them.

Looking at the priceless medal in their hands, the man and the dog could only grit their teeth and swallow their anger, choosing to believe that Hogg would not cheat them of their New Year's money.

Now that the funding issue has been resolved, the question of how to transfer souls has been brought up again.

In line with the principle of playing it safe, Hogg took these heroic fragments of Magnus and prepared to seek help from the Emperor, perhaps even resurrecting his dog-man chancellor.

But before leaving, Hogg led all the Black Watch on a territory patrol to let the Alicia people know that their emperor had returned. At the same time, under the World Tree, he gave the Black Light Elves an official status.

Countless Alicias cheered when they saw their own Primarch. Some of those with a family background in the school even recalled the grand occasion of Alicia ten thousand years ago.

Without staying for too long, after showing his face, Hogg flew directly into the star gate on the Blacklight and headed straight for the Holy Terra behind.

During this period, Hogg did not take advantage of the situation, but plunged into the laboratory, thinking about how to recreate the body for his offspring who only had souls left without genetic seeds.

Just when Hogg was working hard with the lights on, the door of the laboratory that had been closed was opened from the outside, and a group of big guys with yellow and black stripes surrounded him:

Looking at the Iron Warrior who appeared quietly, Hogg suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something important. He actually forgot Pepe.

As expected, when Dantioch first met Hogg, he asked:
"My Lord, do you know where our father has gone?"
