Chapter 452: Hogg's amazing wisdom began to take effect.

The most painful thing in the world is to die without spending money, and what is even more painful is to live without spending money.

A classic is worthy of being a classic. Even after so many years, Hogg still remembers this famous saying vividly and has personally experienced the incomparable pain.

Although the real good things in the empire are not traded with so-called currency and are basically bartered, in Hogg's eyes, money is still the only criterion for measuring all materials.

After more than 10,000 years of accumulation, the Blacklight has become a veritable treasure. If the supplies in the dimensional warehouse are really taken out, the Empire can completely rely on these things to launch another expedition. Even Hogg himself does not know how many secret warehouses there are on the Blacklight.

"Ugh!"

Looking at the Blacklight, with only the keel still intact, over the Martian dock, Hogg really wanted to die. He shouldn't have set up that damn self-destruct device in the first place. What a bullshit about the ultimate romance that belongs only to men. Now, even the ship is gone.

Like Hogg, all the Blackwatch were like losing their father. The Blacklight not only contained the common supplies of the legion, but also their own secret treasury. Now that they were back to the time before liberation, they would have to start all over again.

If Hogg had the possibility of switching to the Chaos camp before, now that the Blacklight has exploded, even if you let the will of the warp do a striptease in front of him, Hogg would not be tempted at all.

At this point, Hogg had no choice but to ask the Martian Mechanicus to rebuild their own ships with all their strength, and at the same time ask his descendants to increase the fire consumption slightly by half. He couldn't afford to pay for such bad luck, right?

"Hurry up, brother. Let the Warp take the blame. It's better for the things to be in my hands than to be lost in the Warp. Don't you agree?"

After hearing the Primarch's instructions, the Four Heavenly Kings immediately agreed. After all, this matter was ultimately due to the Emperor's unfilial behavior. If he could be more human, his father would not have been tempted by Chaos.

Since the condition set by the Will of Chaos for Hogg was to sacrifice his own legion, in order to ensure the integrity of the ceremony, except for those unlucky bugs hiding in the kitchen to steal food, there were basically no casualties in Blackwatch, which was a blessing in disguise.

This bizarre phenomenon naturally aroused suspicion from others, but no matter who asked, Hogg would refuse to tell the truth. After all, the belief in the Lord of Black Light ranked second in the empire. If it were to get out, who knows how many people who knew about it would be eliminated.

Without the legion flagship, Hogg's housing became a problem. There was no such thing as loving father and filial son. At this moment, almost every powerful company commander wanted his old father to live on his own ship.

But there was only one Hogg, and he could not divide it into five equal parts like Shang Yang, so he had to draw lots, and finally moved into a combat barge called Moyu. Although it was not as good as the Blacklight, Black Watch had been running cargo business, and the size of Moyu was not much smaller than that of the Blacklight.

Looking at the bridge in front of him with a completely different style and covered with painful two-dimensional pictures, Hogg knew without guessing who had managed the ship before. Except for the Fourth Company, there were no other descendants with the same style as them.

Upon learning that her father would be living on their own ship, Captain Ginny of the Fourth Company was extremely excited. She gave up her luxurious bedroom and moved in with the company mate Jill.

As a veteran of the Legion, Ace once served as the captain of the 4th Company when Blackwatch was still called Dark Raiders, and now he is the company's instructor for new recruits.

Leading Hogg to the captain's room, Ace pushed open the door and pointed to the room full of bookshelves and full of literary girlish atmosphere and said:

"Father, although our facilities here are not as good as those of the Black Light, they are still quite complete. If you need anything, you can call the guard next door. I raised that kid, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied." After a series of tortures, Hogg had already entered the sage state. In addition, he was not a person who liked extravagance, so he chose to move in with his luggage.

As Ace left, Sha Fulin directly emerged from Hogg's body and plunged into the large, soft bed. He looked at his original body, who was worried, and sighed:

"Don't be so sad! We can earn more if we lose something. Although the Black Light was blown up to the keel, the Saint Janena is still there. As long as the construction speed can keep up, our Black Light will be back in a few years."

What Shafulin said was right. Even though many technologies had been lost after ten thousand years, Saint Janena, as a ship girl, had a full set of casting technology. She could take this opportunity to once again light up the casting technology of the Queen-class battleships to restore glory for the empire.

During the second expedition, countless supplies were transported to the heart of the empire. There was no shortage of materials for the construction of the Black Light. The opportunity could even be taken to fully upgrade the flagship and install some good things that were not so loyal.

Although he was extremely greedy, Hogg still knew right from wrong. Compared with the supplies that could be accumulated again, Blackwatch was his real treasure. It was a blessing in disguise that there were no casualties. He could not ask for too much, and Hogg was thinking about another thing now.

"Shafulin, do you remember when we rescued Pepe?"

"You mean the time when Perturabo was locked up in the desert by the Kobolds and abused for 10,000 years? I remember it very clearly. It's funny every time I think about it. Who knew that the Kobolds were so addicted to games that they actually forgot about him."

Holding Shafulin's gloating dog head, Hogg's eyes instantly became sharp. He first released a high concentration of psionic energy, and then used the power of the Star God to prop up the barrier. Then he said to Shafulin:

"Yes, that time!"

"Before I left, I wanted to persuade Khorne to help me, but he once laughed at me and said how precious freedom was. They were just slaves of the throne. I never understood this, but now I think I understand it."

Hearing this, Shafulin, who possessed most of the original body's memories, also felt something was wrong. As far as she knew, the Four Hawkers were already the pinnacle of the Warp, but why did Khorne say that he was not free?
Looking up at Hogg, Shafulin asked in confusion:
"Is there a possibility that the Kobold is lying?"

"Impossible. I don't know about those three bastards, but Khorne will never lie to me. He still remembers the 88 years between him and me. The Ainug Warmaster will never betray me. Gotha is the best proof of that."

Such a decisive answer made Shafulin curl his lips, thinking to himself, you are becoming more and more like Old Man Huang, how come you and Gouzi also have a Centaur ring?

Without seeing the expression on his pet's face, Hogg became more certain of his guess through the strange ceremony of ascension. But just when he was about to say it out loud, a bad guy who was almost forgotten by Hogg knocked on his door.

Looking at the Gene Primarch leaning against the bed in front of him, whispering with an alien girl, with a resolute face, one eye and one hand replaced by a mechanical prosthesis, with a sky-high braid on his head, and the whole body exuding a macho aura, the big man named Lu reported:

"Father, the Emperor wants to see you!"
