Chapter 387 Interlude: The calm before the storm.

If you want to reduce the popularity of a topic, the best way is not to guard against it too strictly, but to use a more explosive topic to attract attention.

The imperial public opinion that was originally turbulent due to the short video of the Lord of Black Light has gradually cooled down. The hottest topic now is His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince Chagatai. Almost all citizens will come up with a few words of gossip.

After all, the Kara Network is the back garden of Blackwatch. After finding those dwarfs who have committed embezzlement, it will be easier to control public opinion than to execute a few planetary governors.

A Terra month ago, Hogg, who knew that he was tricked by Pepe, immediately activated the deadly plan and sent the dirty tricks out through a wandering trader who had to settle in Comoros because his trade documents were issued by Horus.

When White Scars leader Qin Xia found Alicia, Blackwatch had already sent out the footage. When asked why they didn't delete the video, they just spread their hands and said they didn't have the authority and that they had to talk to Hogg about this matter.

And it's not just the Khan, almost all the negative information about the Primarchs has been revealed. If the eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother, no one will have an easy life.

Seeing that Kara's hot topic today was his own indecent act against the Emperor, Horus slammed his fist on the table, frightening the Council of Five Kings so much that they trembled all over, thinking that their father was ill again.

Seeing that his father was in a bad mood, the youngest, Locke, came over with a cup of black tea and asked:

"Why is father angry? Our Luna Wolves have regained their glory and will soon be able to rebuild the legion. You should be happy!"

"Happy? If this continues, my reputation will be ruined. How can you make me happy?" Horus took out the terminal and pointed at the rumor that was so vivid that it seemed as if he was there in person.

"Everyone knows that I love my father the most. How could I possibly speak out my true feelings? I'll give you one day. I want to know the true identity of this writer named 'Daughter of the Sea'."

At the same time, the same scene was played out in every legion, and almost everyone wanted to find the damn "Daughter of the Sea".

Although all the Primarchs suspected that it was Hogg who was responsible, this speculation was quickly overturned because with the help of the speaker, the Emperor knew that this guy was still in Comoros where there was no network signal and he was not capable of doing this.

But the angel, who was also a black-bellied man, had already seen through everything, because he was too familiar with the negative information circulating in Kara's network, and the content was exactly the same as the disk he had secretly hidden ten thousand years ago.

Sure enough, after finding Dante and asking him, he found out that the warehouse in his hometown of Bal had indeed been robbed.

But the angel did not expose Hogg. After all, he had processed the disk himself and deleted all the negative information about the Blood Angels. Wouldn't it be nice to watch the other brothers have fun?

But we can't just leave it alone. God knows what kind of scandals will be exposed in the future. Although it will not cause any substantial losses, it is disgusting!
The few people who were not clean discussed it and decided to go to Comoros to find Hogg together! After all, the dog thing said before he left that he was looking for the whereabouts of Lao Wu, and he could also take the opportunity to find his good brother.

Due to the negative information, except for Curze who stayed in Alicia as a target, Lorgar continued to preach, and the Raven King and Angron returned to their hometown Vigilance to quell the rebellion, almost all the Primarchs ran to Blackwatch.

Just like Hogg wanted Curze to attract attention, every Primarch was being watched by the Warp, and it was not easy to go to Commorros. In the end, it was Warmaster Abaddon who stood up.

Brother Abaddon looked very majestic and lived up to his reputation of being invincible. He immediately assured that he had a way to send everyone to Comoros, but they needed to change their appearance.

Hearing this, Magnus, who also had an IQ above average, patted his chest and said that it was not difficult. With his Red King around, it would not be difficult to just change their body shape. He immediately activated his psychic power and transformed them into the appearance of the Eldar.

Perhaps because he was in Alicia, where there were black light elves running around everywhere, Magnus subconsciously chose this template.

As the psychic spell was completed, the five big guys disappeared, and were replaced by a few strange-looking dwarf elves.

Such a novel scene naturally attracted a crowd of onlookers. Several primarchs also felt for the first time that being a dwarf was quite good. No wonder Hogg was having fun everywhere every day. The whole world was different after becoming smaller.

After adapting to the new body, the path Abaddon mentioned finally arrived.

Pushing open the door and looking at the five dwarf elves of different shapes in front of him, Huron really couldn't hold it anymore. Why did the big shots like to play this trick? Did they really treat him as a black guide for the route?

Huron loves what he does, and he does not allow his dignity to be insulted. He is the tyrant of Badab, and even the Chaos Demon can speak to him. How can he be depressed and inferior to others for a long time?
"Foster father, please accept my humble greeting. It is my great honor to serve the Primarch!"

"..."

At this moment, just like at that time, the five people are different from Hogg. They at least have a basic moral bottom line and will not collude with Huron like Master Ho.

"As I recall, you are not Guilliman's cub?"

Seeing a red-skinned elf speaking, Huron said righteously: "It's irrelevant, irrelevant, I only have you six suns in my heart!"

........................

At the same time, Hogg, who has been a house-elf for a month, is having a great time. He finds that these long-eared people really know how to enjoy themselves and their life is much better than his own.

Even though Hogg is both the Primarch and the boss of Black Watch, apart from eating and drinking, he leads a very simple life.

On the one hand, Hogg was just a working boy in his previous life and had never seen the luxurious life of the upper class. Even if he had a crazy mind, he had no rendering material, not to mention that the rubbish guys in Blackwatch could not teach him any high-end qualities.

The second is Chaos corruption. Hogg knows that what goes up must come down. He is afraid that blindly pursuing enjoyment will corrupt the Legion and turn it into the second Son of the Emperor.

With the combined effect of the two, the dwarfs led by Hogg were like bumpkins who had never seen the world and would exclaim in amazement at anything new they saw.

It has to be said that appearance is everything in this world. If all the Black Light Elves were ugly, they would just be chopped up and fed to dogs if they kept shouting like this.

Perhaps because they were born with the shadow of Slaanesh, the Darklight Elves can easily gain the favor of others. In addition, the neurotic personality inherited from Hogg makes it so that they will not be blamed even if they make mistakes.

But happy times are always short-lived. Feeling the growing size of the swarm in the mental network, Hogg knew it was time to purify this filthy place.

As long as he took the Khan away, Black Bean Sprouts would inevitably launch an all-out counterattack. He didn't believe that these lunatics would let them go, so he had to be fully prepared.

Thanks to Gloria, the original leader of the Zerg, the Blacklight Zerg, which originally grew wildly and could only be used as cannon fodder, has finally evolved. They are now equipped with a full range of arms and are no longer a mindless attack.

A large number of loyal and controllable offspring that can be used as node creatures were created. These were called queens. They were unique individuals with genetic seeds inside them. They could perfectly link to the mind network and act as battlefield commanders.

This greatly reduces the combat load of Blackwatch, allowing each Space Marine to focus their attention on the elite Zerg beasts they have trained, without neglecting the details of the battlefield.

However, somehow, this reform was originally intended to simplify the troops and improve their combat effectiveness, but Hogg discovered that although these interstellar warriors were ferocious, they had some quirks.

Perhaps it was because Gloria used the flesh and blood samples of Hogg and Russ, this group of interstellar warriors not only inherited the Blackwatch's characteristic of picking up garbage everywhere, but also liked to decorate their prey on their bodies like the Space Wolves.

Looking at the Zerg giant in the shadows, covered in a plastic tarpaulin, carrying a huge package on his back, and covered with all kinds of meaningless decorations, looking like a thief, Hogg always felt that this guy was a little familiar.

Taking a closer look, Hogg discovered that it was a tyrant. Wasn't it the Tyranid that liked to steal food in the Blacklight's kitchen? No wonder it looked so shifty.

Knowing that the dwarf in front of him was his boss, the tyrant who had been given the name Kog'Gath obediently knelt down and very humanely took out an ugly garbage bag and handed it to Hogg:

"Boss, the mission you assigned to me has been completed. A total of 50 cyclone torpedoes have been placed throughout Comoros. As long as you press the detonator, all the hubs connecting to the outside world will be cut off."

Feeling the fifty psionic beacons coming from the mind network, Hogg casually threw his empty dimensional pocket over:
"Well done. Seeing that you like this bag so much, I'll give it to you. Remember to stay away from the explosion when it happens, and don't get killed by the torpedo you set off."

The Zerg guy who took the dimensional pocket was ecstatic. He had long wanted a pocket to store his treasures. He then closed his four claws, made a standard Sky Eagle Salute, and shouted:
"Don't let the Legion down!"

"...Good! You look very energetic. I will promote you to corporal when we get back and let you manage all the kitchen waste of the Black Light."

Before the master and servant could perform the three invitations and three resignations, a voice came from outside the alley:
"Is that you, Maserati? Who are you talking to?"

Hearing someone coming, Kog'gas went straight into the garbage pipe and disappeared, and Hogg was also picked up on the spot.

Seeing that the person coming was Lilith, the cheap owner, Hogg argued:
"Nothing, I found a yellow fox here, but it was scared away by you."

Lilith had never heard of a creature called a yellow-skinned creature in Comoros. Could it be an invasive alien species? She couldn't help but ask, "What is a yellow-skinned creature?"

Hogg thought that you will soon see what the yellow fox is, and maybe you will even call him "Dad", but in order to ensure the plan goes ahead, Hogg still said:

"That is an extremely terrifying creature... If you see it, don't reply."
