Chapter 338 Killer Queen, the loser eats dust!
Like the bald transport captain, Hogg, who also works in the logistics industry, also proposed the established strategy of pacifying the country before fighting against foreign enemies.

Although 70,000 Space Marines were resurrected through Anubis, Blackwatch now has only 90,000 troops at most, less than half of the number in the late Great Crusade.

Moreover, the newly resurrected Blackwatch cannot be put into battle immediately. They must undergo secondary training and adapt to their new bodies transformed by the Primaris. Only in this way can they recover to their former combat power level.

At the same time, not only was Blackwatch expanding its troops, but other legions were also rapidly increasing their forces, and everyone was preparing for the upcoming war.

As far as Hogg knew, among the seven primarchs who had returned, the Waste Brothers and Angron had the least troops, with a total of about 60,000 men each. The Black Watch and the Dark Angels were at the same level.

But even after ten thousand years of sustainable decline, Guilliman's XIII Legion, the Ultramarines, are still like weeds, with a full 25 Space Marines, and can be called the true careerists of the Empire.

Unlike other legions, the Thousand Sons of Magnus have become the Grey Knights in reskin. Even though it only has one Great Company, the endless number of Maghers has caused the number of Grey Knights to surge to an astonishing 21.

Roland, the socially anxious cat who just returned, sadly has no offspring. Except for everyone calling him "Second Brother", he is the most undignified Primarch of the Empire, with only a group of smart cat-people accompanying him.

In order to help the Second Legion regain its former glory, the Emperor assigned the task of rebuilding the Second Legion to Hogg, hoping that he could help Roland, at least to gather tens of thousands of people.

Hogg was very familiar with this kind of work, and of course he did not refuse. However, before Hogg left, the Emperor still pulled him over with a mysterious look on his face and instructed:

"You bastard, even though your second brother is big, he is very timid. Don't bully him too much, otherwise if something goes wrong, don't blame me for not reminding you."

The fearless Hogg would certainly not be scared. The number of genetic Primarchs cultivated by him was no less than that of Old Man Huang. If he was not too lazy to write, he would have planned to publish a manual for breeding Primarchs and sell it for money.

Seeing Hogg's indifferent look, the Emperor reminded him again:
"My rebellious son, I am not kidding you this time. Roland has been a very intelligent person since he was young. His IQ is comparable to Magnus's. Like you and me, he possesses amazing wisdom. Don't be fooled by his furry appearance.

As the third Primarch to return, Roland had already awakened to the essence of the Warp before I found him. Otherwise, why would I appoint him as the Imperial Warmaster? Was it because he was so hairy and nice to touch? "

Looking at Roland, who was four meters tall and had an arm thicker than his waist, Hogg could not describe him as a coward. With his sanctified body, other Primarchs would probably be knocked down with one punch if they met him.

Under his brother's aggressive gaze, Roland's already huge body grew even bigger, and his orange-yellow fur exploded, turning him into a big fur ball.

"No, second brother, you are so timid. How did the Second Legion fight against the entire empire on its own? It wouldn't be like that bald Horus, where all the members were drunk by the evil god and turned into puffs?"

Hogg walked up and rubbed Roland's fur hard several times.

It must be said that Roland's fur was just as he looked, very soft and comfortable to the touch, comparable to the finest silk, which made Hogg want to get a bunch of it and weave a small blanket.

Hogg, who was plucking fur crazily, didn't notice that Roland, who originally occupied half the room, swelled again with his movements. The pair of wise cat eyes had been blinded by the animal nature, and the rationality that symbolized human nature was disappearing rapidly. It would be fine if he stopped there, but the habit of picking up trash in Blackwatch originated from Hogg, and he would only become more greedy. Seeing that the hair he had plucking was not growing fast enough, his hands became more unscrupulous, and he completely forgot the emperor's instructions before leaving.

Just when Hogg was planning to knit a sweater for himself, a huge explosion occurred, which blew Hogg away. The lord's mansion that had just been built was instantly shattered, and dense cloaked cockroaches fled frantically.

Waving his hands to push away the bricks and stones that were pressing on him, the dusty Hogg fell into a rage. He wanted to see which bastard dared to blow up his new home. It was really a gift to him.

But before Hogg could climb out of the ruins, a huge furry foot with thick pads stepped him directly into the ground. Along with cat hair falling from the sky, the Black Watchers who escaped from the ruins found that the originally bright sky was completely shrouded in shadows, and a giant beast suddenly appeared in the previous lord's mansion.

Such a huge creature was so huge that even Black Watch, who had seen the Hogger form, let out a shrill scream, just because this thing was so huge. Calculated through the integrated display of the helmet, this monster was actually a full thousand meters tall.

The Blackwatch, who were suddenly attacked, wanted to open fire, but they found that the monster did not launch any attack at all. It just stood there in a daze, trembling and scattering more cat hair.

"By the way, where is father? He just asked me to bring him two bottles of Nuka-Cola, but now he is gone?" Ross asked loudly, holding two bottles of iced cola.

But the Black Watch around were equally confused. They didn't know where Hogg had gone. Perhaps they had discovered the extraordinary nature of the cat hair. A technical sergeant picked up a piece of it and wanted to use a plasma analyzer to study its composition.

Before the technical sergeant could take action, a deafening shout came from the sky:

"No, that thing will explode!"

"What? It's going to explode!"

But Roland's reminder was too late. The cat hair was so frightened that it fell into the plasma analyzer. Accompanied by the bombardment of plasma sparks, a violent explosion occurred instantly, directly blowing the unfortunate technical sergeant away.

In a chain reaction, the cat hair that was floating in the air was also detonated one after another. The building that had been crushed by Roland before was shattered again. Accompanied by deafening and dazzling flames, the Lord's Mansion that Hogg was proud of was completely destroyed and turned into a real ruin.

Roland felt even more guilty after seeing this scene. He trembled all over and wanted to help these friendly forces leave the explosion area, but it would have been better if he didn't move. When he moved, more cat hairs fell from the sky, which scared the charred cloaked cockroach half to death.

At the same time, Hogg, who was trampled into the ground, was digging hard. He seemed to understand the danger that Old Man Huang mentioned. In order to prevent the giant beast from going crazy, Hogg could only use the dimensional lightning to melt the ruins in front of him, trying to comfort this big brother.

But when Hogg passed through a passage and came to the surface, he was not surprised to see his father's Black Watch. Instead, he felt that his father was not far from death.

Along with the high temperature generated by the dimensional lightning, an unprecedented explosion descended on Alicia, and Roland, towering into the sky, could only roar in grief:
"No, don't die!"
