Chapter 530 Is the Second Empire Loyal?

Chapter 530 Is the Second Empire Loyal?
As commonly thought, the forces of Chaos are not a monolithic entity, and their internal strife is even worse than that of the human empire.

If the subspace is compared to a market economy, then the four vendors and many lesser gods are large companies within it, but the four gods are considered to be the cosmic enterprises within it, and demonic lesser gods like Vashtor are, at best, small workshops with a relatively large reputation.

Since the War in Heaven began, the ancient saints were destroyed, the star gods were shattered, and the three gods seized the opportunity to seize the blue ocean market, and directly opened up the names of the Army of Terror, the Army of Gu, and the Army of Traitor. They are considered old-established companies, and their subordinates, the demon boys, are extremely powerful, and they are considered the three mountains of the subspace.

After the destruction of the Eldar gods, Slaanesh emerged as a new force, making a name for itself as one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Warp, and together with the other three gods were known as the Four Evil Heads of the Warp.

However, evil gods are the product of rules. Their behavior patterns vary according to the laws they master. You can't possibly let the Lord of Change run to the realm of Nurgle and swim in the air.

They are all demons, and they all have the support of the evil boss. Due to different values ​​and preferences, the demons from the four major groups are in constant friction, and wars have been breaking out for tens of millions of years, and they wish to beat each other's brains out.

Compared to the invasion of Chaos Demons into the real world, the civil war in the Warp has never stopped. To resist foreign aggression, one must first stabilize the internal situation. Compared with the distant physical world, the Warp that is within sight is the real territory of the Demons. Anyway, as long as the creatures in the real world are alive, the Demons will have a constant source of emotional nourishment. It is better to kill the old rival first.

For this expedition, the kobolds pulled out all their resources and led all the demons under their command to attack the realm of Nurgle, not even leaving many troops to guard their hometown.

The moment the Great Rift was formed, Khorne immediately seized the opportunity and ordered his demon boys to launch an all-out attack. They had to bite off a piece of meat. As for whether the meat would stink or not, there would be plenty of ways to deal with it when the time came.

Hogg and his companions, who were teleported to the Flame through inertia-free transport, were waiting for the fleet in the rear to meet up with them and explore the ship that they had already captured.

For Hogg and his companions, except for Mortarion who often cooperated with Vulkan during the Great Crusade, no one was familiar with the Flame in front of them and could only grope their way step by step.

Looking at the Flame which had completely turned into a metal pipe, it would be a lie for Hogg to say that he did not feel sad. After all, when they landed on the ship, this Queen of Glory-class battleship was already ownerless. Such a treasure must belong to a virtuous person, and he, Hogg, is that virtuous person.

But Hogg did not regret it. This ship, which had been swimming in a cesspool for more than 10,000 years, was already completely dirty. Taking this opportunity to clean it up would also provide a good foundation for subsequent repair projects. At least it would prevent the Oil Man from being contaminated by chaos and becoming a crazy boy.

"Brother, I remember there are a few traitorous primarchs here. Why don't we kill those bastards as well? Then we can each have a ship, wouldn't that be great? I think the Khan's Bladestorm is pretty good. I've wanted that speedboat for a long time."

Although Mortarion looks honest, this guy is very bad. Seeing that his elder brother got a Glorious Queen-class ship for free, he also wants to get one to supplement the household expenses of the not-so-rich Death Guard.

After hearing that Mortarion wanted to divide the spoils in advance, Coz Angron also spoke up:

"Me too!"

The little brother's demands must be met. After all, they have come from afar to fight with me across dimensions, so the benefits they deserve should still be given. However, the most important thing right now is not this matter, but the civil war of demons in the distance.

With the arrival of the Second Imperial Fleet, Black Watch immediately surrounded the Flame, preparing to tow the ship to the physical world, and then return it to the factory for an overhaul to become its second flagship.

The only seven remaining Salamanders were also escorted into the prison of the Blacklight. As for the Chaos pollution on their bodies, it was even more of a joke. It wouldn't be long before they were assimilated by the psionic energy and turned into real idiots.

Hogg did not let the prisoner Vulcan out of his sight. He directly made a base out of refined gold, put his head on it and hung it around his waist as a decoration.

After experiencing a series of blows, Vulkan completely gave up and remained indifferent even if he was made into a pendant. He looked like someone with Alzheimer's disease.

The intensity of the war in the chaos civil strife is no less than that of the battlefield in the modern world. As soon as it starts, it is an extremely high intensity of an apocalyptic-level war. And this is still a small area. From a macro perspective, this is a true war of gods.

In this kind of battlefield, Hogg would certainly not let his men die in vain. Instead, he ordered the entire fleet to open fire from a distance. Firing a few shots on the battlefield could be considered as repaying the Kobolds for coming to the rescue.

After all, as the main means of protection for ships, the basic principle of void shields is to transfer external attacks to the warp, and the warp is not the human home field at all. If you rush forward, you will only become a real target. The kobolds are worthy of being kobolds. Although they are a bit brainless and reckless, they are essentially war priests. In addition, the Second Empire Fleet has Dorne, a familiar boss commander. The two strong men micro-manage the battlefield and suppress the Nurgle demon army.

Raising the macro cannon by five meters was really useful. Dorn demonstrated his perfect command skills at this moment, which made Hogg, who only knew how to use F2A, stunned. Then he praised others:

"See? I told you that Dorn is not a waste. We must never let such a talented commander join the enemy in the future. If he dies, it will be a huge loss to our Second Empire."

It always feels good to be praised by others. Although he also wants to rush forward and kill, he has to give in to a stubborn person like Dorn. As long as he praises him a few more times, he can achieve self-conquest. The best thing is that he dare not doubt Hogg, after all, Hogg will really beat him.

As the Khorne army advanced triumphantly, several Primarchs led by Hogg actually started playing games on the bridge. Looking at Dorn who was sweating profusely and performing extreme micro-management, he praised him from time to time, which made Lemon Boy excited.

At the same time, far away in the physical world, on Holy Terra, several loyal Primarchs gathered there: Mortarion, Lorgar, Alpha, Angron, the real headless senior Perturabo, and even Ferrus, who had become the Grand Lord of Cybertron, were called over and put into the Empire's latest popular Angels of Bliss.

Perhaps because of the Emperor's evil taste, the doll possessed by Ferrus is still Fulgrim, sitting there just like in the book.

After Alpha's investigation, the general information of the Second Empire has been known to the Emperor, and several Primarchs have learned of the existence of their cousin Hogg, but they have different opinions.

Lorgar is a reformist who believes in the truth of the Empire. He was extremely disgusted when he learned that Hogg had set up the Black Light Sect. He hated religion the most in his life. Apart from science and technology, which was the only way to revive the Empire, everything else was a lie and was not as useful as the Mechanicus.

Mortarion and Angron, on the other hand, had a favorable impression of Hogg. They also wanted to see what their cousins ​​from another world were like, and whether they were noble descendants who were loyal to the emperor and patriotic, just like themselves.

Even after learning that Guilliman was being physically taught a lesson by Hogg, the two Primarchs became even more excited, because they really didn't want to work overtime and had to kidnap the bastard Guilliman and use him as a government servitor.

Perturabo had nothing to say. The grumpy old sister didn't want to think too much. After all, she had no brains. She just had to stand there and pretend.

Unlike the above-mentioned Primarchs, Alpha felt worried. After such a long time, there was still no news about Omega, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth. His last destination was to explore the Fist of Lemon alone.

Seeing his good brother frowning, Luo Jia comforted him:

"Don't worry, brother. Although Hogg founded the Second Empire, the impact it caused is actually beneficial to us. After all, he is also a Primarch, and he is our half-brother. Omega will be fine."

"It's impossible for Omega to be hung up and beaten, and then severely insulted, and become an indescribable twisted monster!"

Luojia's consolation worked. Although some strange changes occurred within the legion, Alpha thought about it and realized, what big a deal could it be?

The Emperor saw everything that seemed to be happening to the Primarchs, but he did not summon them this time to listen to their conversation. Instead, it was because the shameless yellow-skinned man opposite had revealed a piece of news to him, but he himself could not comprehend the news.

The Emperor, who had been a riddle-teller all his life, was naturally in a bad mood when he was riddle-teller himself. The shadow of the Warp still existed, making it even more difficult for the Emperor to see what was happening inside.

Feeling the waves in the Warp and the sudden retreat of the Nurgle army from the Webway, the Emperor believed that something big must have happened, so he had to reveal the news to his descendants through the speaker:
"Do you think the Second Empire is loyal?"

No one answered the Emperor's doubts. All the Primarchs were thinking, but only Ferrus on the side gritted his teeth, afraid that he would laugh out loud. Because after he heard the word "Second Empire", he had roughly guessed what happened and sneered in his heart:

"Loyalty, what loyalty!"
