Chapter 362 Good friends

Sand, damn sand, I never want to see sand in my life.

The huge Iron Blood was motionless. It was a Queen of Glory-class battleship that Perturabo personally supervised during the Great Crusade. Like the Black Light, it had a very high level of automation and did not need to carry so many crew members. The only difference was the machine soul.

Perturabo was extremely grateful for the Iron Blood's performance. If it was the same as the other flagships, they would not have been able to hold on until now. Without supplies, such a large population would have starved to death in the endless red sand.

Since being captured by the Kobolds, the Iron Warriors led by Perturabo have never gone out and have been imprisoned for ten thousand years.

If the kobolds had captured them in order to corrupt the Iron Warriors, at least they would have seen new faces. But Perturabo couldn't understand why the kobolds had never appeared once in ten thousand years.

Thanks to the pocket dimensions that Hogg installed on each of the brother flagships, Perturabo would fill up the warehouses every time he went out to ensure sufficient supplies during the expedition, which was why they were able to last so long.

In the first 2000 years, this Iron Warrior still retained its basic structure, with only non-combat personnel entering a stasis position to sleep, for fear that they would be attacked by demons if they relaxed.

The Iron Warriors trapped here were not idle either. They sent out several teams to explore this red sand in the hope of finding a way to escape and to search for supplies.

But after their exploration, they found that this world of red sand that was always exposed to the scorching sun had no life at all. The total area was equivalent to two Terras. However, this world, which was originally a planet, had been shattered, and only some ruins could show the prosperity of the distant past.

Like the rusted paw prints of a dog on this shattered world, the Iron Warriors have been completely forgotten, with only the occasional spacecraft crash-landing here to give them a sense of novelty.

As time passed, some of the Iron Warriors began to be unable to bear this boring life, and more and more people chose to take a static stance to maintain their sanity.

When the sixth millennium arrived, all but the Primarch Perturabo entered stasis and fell into a deep sleep.

The good news is that the supplies will never run out, but the bad news is that Perturabo has to endure this loneliness alone.

Even though this period was extremely difficult, Perturabo managed to get through it thanks to his anger towards the Kobolds. However, nearly 4000 years had made him gradually paranoid, and he was eager to meet some living people, even aliens!

Just when Perturabo was about to give up, a signal came from the speaker that he had been wearing around his waist.

When he heard Hogg's voice, Perturabo was so excited that he almost cried on the spot, but he had been deceived by Tzeentch once, so he was cautious this time.

With this brief call, Perturabo regained his confidence and immediately awakened some of the Iron Warriors to conduct restorative training.

After hearing Dantioch's voice during the second call, all the Iron Warriors, including non-combatants, were awakened and prepared to be rescued.

After receiving the signal for the last time to connect to the escaping trio, Perturabo knew that the opportunity had come. He asked everyone to transfer to the Endurance and overloaded the warp engine in advance.

Looking at the chaotic and crazy battlefield in front of him, Perturabo let out a battle cry and returned to the world with the long-lost Iron Warriors, and wanted to settle the accounts for the ten thousand years of torture:
"Damn Kobold, I'm going to fight you! I'm going to run my engines to full power, overload my void shields, and I'm going to crash you to death!"

Without any hesitation, the Iron Blood, which had just broken free from the shackles, turned at a large angle and headed straight for the three evil gods in the distance of the battlefield, vowing to fight them.

The speed of ships in the interstellar age is so fast that they can crash into the battlefield at the speed of teleportation the moment their engines are overloaded, without giving others any chance to explain that they are friendly forces.

At this critical moment, Koz saved all of their lives and used his awakened superpower of space teleportation to escape from the center of the collision.

"boom!"

Speed ​​and power! The Iron Blood, which was over 20 kilometers long and weighed countless tons, slammed into its target at 1/10 the speed of light.

The first to be hit, the Nurgle Fatboy, exploded on the spot, and was then instantly vaporized by the destructive energy generated by the collision between the Void Shield and the Demon Realm, and rolled directly back to the resurrection bar of the Stagnant Heaven.

The dog-headed man was not feeling well either. Although he reacted in time and did not die on the spot, only half of his body was broken. However, the Demon Realm was his foundation, so it was of no use dodging it. The doghouse exploded directly.

"Gulu!"

The Emperor wasn't sure if he could withstand this blow, but Hogg knew that he probably couldn't. Although he wouldn't die, if he was hit, he probably wouldn't wake up for several years.

And Corax and Koz are of no use, as they don't have as thick health bars as himself and the yellow-skinned man.

"Well done, Koz! I'll give you a chicken drumstick when we get back, and I'll pay for your bathing in the future." Taking advantage of the fact that the evil gods were all injured, the three brothers left Emperor Kong and let Old Man Huang drive alone to quickly eliminate the remaining demons. They then returned to their respective legions to gather the remaining soldiers and prepare to run away quickly.

Looking at the half-remaining Iron Blood, Hogg rushed into the bridge and shouted loudly:

"Pepe, where are you? I know you are not dead, come out quickly, we are going to run away!"

An ordinary person would have died in the explosion just now, but the other surviving Iron Warriors did not feel sad, which proved that Perturabo was not dead at all, and he was still in this ruin.

Although Hogg's star god power could not be fully exerted in the warp, he could still find someone to do it, and soon he found Perturabo's "stick", with only the torso left.

"Pah, pah, pah." The three big guys fought each other. Pepe, who was on the verge of death, was pulled back by Hogg. He stared at Hogg with his iron-gray eyes. After confirming that this was not an illusion, he sobbed:

"Hogg, you guys are finally here, woooo! That damned kobold actually looked down on me, he actually forgot about me!"

"Don't worry about it, let's run!" Hogg picked up the young man with the stick and turned around and left. He didn't want to fight a war of attrition with Chaos in the subspace. If the demons surrounded him, he would really be unable to escape.

But as soon as they ran out of the ruins, they were stopped by the kobolds. Seeing the red scarf on Hogg's neck that was exactly the same as his own, Khorne put down the greatsword in his hand:

"Hogg, look around. This is the home planet of our former empire. Are you going to betray us again?"

"Betrayal? I have never betrayed anyone," Hogg pointed to the tall brass throne in the distance and roared:
"As the emperor, I led the dog people to unify the planets and to explore the starry sea. I have done everything I could. I just returned to my own timeline. I am not wrong at all. It is this world that is wrong!"

"Gotha, I have never betrayed you. Now there is an opportunity before us. As long as we succeed, the dog people will be revived again. My warmaster, don't you want to be free again?"

Khorne did not refute. At his position, all the secrets in the world could not escape his eyes. How ridiculous was freedom:

"Gotha is dead. Now there is only Khorne. Go with your new friend!"

………………

Hogg left, carrying the so-called new friend mentioned by the dog-headed man, but he didn't know why he felt empty in his heart, as if he had lost something.

Looking at his father slumped on the sofa, even Ross, who was usually the most active, didn't dare to say a word, for fear that Hogg, who was in a bad mood, would punch him to death.

In the end, Hogg was the only one left in the huge space, and the originally lively and cheerful bridge was gradually filled with loneliness.

"Bah!"

As the hatch opened, a tall figure in leather came up behind Hogg, threw a broken horn on the table and said:
"Stop being emo here, the kobold asked me to tell you something, saying I'll help you one last time.

But you want to strengthen the angel's stats in the game, did you hear me... Oh? So I fell asleep!"

Looking at Hogg curled up on the sofa holding the scarf tightly, Alpha curled his lips and thought that this guy was just like the yellow-skinned man, with the most stubborn mouth in his body.

After finding a place to sit down, Alpha did not leave. Instead, he relaxed and stared at the scarf in Hogg's hand in a daze:

"You've found a good friend."

　"Remembering the Fighting Brothers on September 9th"

　　A stranger on a strange planet

　　Every time Tai Lun misses his family
　　I know my brother is back on the throne
