Chapter 406 The Second Expedition—Start!
Holy Terra.
Since the return of the Primarch, although Holy Terra still has that golden appearance, at least it is not all show and no substance, and some hive residents have actually received preferential treatment from the policies.
Stepping out of the landing craft and looking at the increasingly prosperous city before him, Horus's previous worries instantly dissipated. Now that he knew the tragic ending, he would never let that tragedy happen again.
"If it is destined, then let me break this damn shackle and let the whole galaxy burn!"
"..."
Kicking the confusing bald Ogryn away, Hogg thought to himself that he was going to burn again. What the hell, burning your ass? Do you only know these two lines? What a waste of his time.
As the most honorable people in the Empire, every Primarch who arrived at Terra would attract onlookers. After all, they were the sons of the God-Emperor. If they looked at them more, perhaps they would receive the blessing of the demigod and become a glorious frontline soldier?
Leaving the landing point surrounded by the crowd, Hogg and his companions were led by a team of imperial guards to successfully arrive at the Terra Palace. Before they entered the door, a figure blocked Hogg's way.
Looking at Horus who came with him, Rambo stuck his head out and whispered in Hogg's ear:
"Your Majesty, I have some good stuff, do you want it?"
"Oh? Are you talking about the good stuff? Let me see it. If it's good quality, you will definitely get some benefits."
Seeing that the Imperial Guards had actually switched to selling films, Horuston felt that the morals of the world were going downhill. He didn't understand how the Empire could have become such a mess. Valdor was simply a figurehead who could do nothing and couldn't even control his own men. The Terran Imperial Guards, which had been feared by everyone before, had now become so degenerate.
With a heart of a tiger and a nose for roses, Horus would not bother to stop and watch such a PY transaction. Ordinary rouge and powder were not in his eyes. Could it be that she was prettier than the yellow-skinned succubus? He just turned around and left.
As soon as he left, Rambo immediately took out a microdisk and handed it to Hogg, hoping that he would inspect the goods and make an estimate of their price.
As his own dog people, Hogg still trusted them very much. He directly plugged the portable terminal on his arm and played the short video.
But after just a glance, Hogg immediately put the disk and the terminal into his dimensional pocket, and looked around like a thief, afraid of being discovered.
"Well done, Rambo, but don't let anyone know about this. When you get off work, go to the Black Light and ask the quartermaster for anything you want. Just say I sent you there."
"Your Majesty, is anything really possible?"
Touching the dog's head, Hogg nodded with certainty.
"I remember that you like canned ant bull food the most. I just happened to bring back a batch of fresh goods for you this time. I will give you 80 extra boxes, but remember, you must not let anyone else know about this, otherwise you will be out of canned food."
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I am the most tight-lipped person. Do you want any dirt on my Guilliman? As long as there are enough cans, I promise to deliver it to you. If you want other Primarchs, I can also contact my compatriots."
Loyalty, so damn loyal. Hogg didn't even discover such a perfect intelligence network before, but it's not too late now. Since he has thought of it, he should make good use of it.
"Well, since you are in Terra, you should always pay attention to the Empire's movements. If there is any new information, report it to Blackwatch. I guarantee you will benefit from it."
Waving goodbye to the dog guards, on the way to the throne, with the help of the power of the star god, Hogg carefully browsed the short video, thinking that you have come to this day, the rumor he made up turned out to be true. But if you spread this kind of thing, you will die. Of course, Hogg can't spread it with his own identity. At least he has to wait until the wind blows over before he can say anything. It's better to put it in the emperor's black material folder.
Pushing open the door to the underground palace, Hogg almost laughed out loud as he looked at Malcador, who had once again transformed into an old wall lamp standing beside the Emperor. After thinking about all the bad things in his life, he managed to suppress the corners of his mouth.
"What's that expression on your face, you bastard? Are you thinking of some bad idea again?"
Being reminded by the Emperor, Horus suddenly thought of the strange Guard just now. Could it be that the movie was really good? If he had known, he would not have pretended to be aloof and left.
"Nothing, I just thought of something happy. Old man Huang, why did you call us over this time? Have you gotten into trouble again and want me to help you out?"
If someone else had taken advantage of him like this, the Emperor would have probably beaten him up long ago, but the bastard Hogg didn't want to be his father, which was already very respectful. He directly stated the purpose of summoning them back this time:
"Although you rebellious sons usually do nothing, under my wise rule, the empire already has the strength to launch another expedition. While those idiots haven't recovered yet, I have decided to launch a new round of expedition!"
After hearing this, Hogg also knew why the Emperor would call them both over separately, it was just because he really called them both. Now the power of the empire can be roughly divided into three parts.
The Filial Sons Alliance, headed by Hogg, has the largest number of members, but they are scattered all over the place. They all recognize Hogg as their eldest brother, and between the Emperor and him, they are more willing to obey his orders.
The absolutely loyal faction, led by Horus, Cats and Dogs, Angels, and Guilliman, is the core force that the Emperor can fully command.
Finally, the few people left, led by Ah Fa, help both sides. Everyone can use them. When beating the emperor, they can join forces with the Filial Son Alliance, and when beating Hogg, they can take advantage of the situation and expose the dirty tricks.
But in general, although all the Primarchs have seen the true face of the Emperor, they all still obey him, even Hogg, the most rebellious one. After all, although old man Huang is despicable, he also carries the banner at critical moments. He is the true master of mankind.
After the previous great rebellion, the Emperor finally changed a little, although not much, but he also knew that it was best to hold a small meeting before making major decisions.
Hogg did not hesitate at all about the inevitable second expedition and immediately decided to follow suit. Like a real heir, he would attack wherever the emperor said without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, Hogg did not mock him this time. The Emperor felt a little uncomfortable and thought something was missing:
"No, why don't you reconsider it? After all, the Great Crusade is no joke. Once you start, you can never stop."
Looking at the yellow-skinned guy who leaned over, Hogg punched him without thinking, grabbed his collar and yelled:
"Old Huang, why are you so extreme now? Have you forgotten your great wish to revive mankind when we first met?"
"Don't dare forget it for even a moment!"
Shit, the company is closed, and Corgi has become an unemployed idler again
