Chapter 57: The filial son must take the filial sword.
Not surprisingly, Mortarion chose to join the ranks of the Imperium, becoming the fourteenth returning Primarch.
Now that we have joined the Empire, the rest of the things will be easy. It's nothing more than waiting for the arrival of the 14th Legion and then driving over.
While waiting for the arrival of the Legion, Hogg took Mortarion to cram in common knowledge about the Empire. Of course, Hogg couldn't teach him hand-in-hand, so he still used the old method.
When Hogg first returned, the Emperor used an information transmission device to instill knowledge into him so that he could exercise his brain.
Black Watch also has this kind of machine. In the context of the galaxy, humans' technological level is not low, but most of them are rather incomplete.
The reason is that there has been a technological gap in humankind, and technology now depends entirely on archaeology, and whatever is dug up will reveal a mysterious mystery.
Although it is said that technology is entirely dependent on archaeology, the people of 30K generally believe in the Imperial Truth, so there is still technological research and development, and the oil man is not as rigid as the future.
If it is in the 40K era, innovation is equal to heresy, which is really a problem. This is why the Emperor vigorously promotes the Imperial Truth.
Information infusion is a process that every Space Marine will go through. With this technology, the training time of warriors will be greatly shortened.
As long as you can withstand the mental pressure of information infusion, you can acquire a vast amount of knowledge in one day. Of course, most people can't do it.
But it was not a problem for the Primarch. Mortarion was indoctrinated continuously for a whole day, and he could still show off two bowls of rice after it was over.
Look, Ogrin, the glutton who feels itchy in the brain, is hungry again and is frantically choosing food in the cafeteria.
Looking at the silly boy eating in front of him, Hogg said earnestly:
"Xiao Mo! Remember this, when you see Old Man Huang, cry. The more miserable your cry, the better. Also, your expression must be rich, highlighting the fact that you have found your way back from the wrong path, and every word you say must be true to the imperial truth.
"You will have to memorize the truth of the Empire and recite it when you speak, to show that you joined the Empire for the future of mankind. Then you will have to cry poor and ask your old father to give you some help. Do you understand?"
"Okay, Eleventh Brother, but why should I recite the Imperial Truth and cry?"
A slap landed on Mortarion's head. He was so worried about the silly boy Hogg. If only Guilliman was here, it would be great. Old Thirteen has been smart since he was young.
"Mortarion, let me ask you, can you defeat your adopted father now? Even if you can fight him alone, can you feed the people on Barbarus?"
"No."
"That's it. Even if you are the Primarch, the power of one person is limited. What do you rely on to make a living now? Rely on power!"
Master Huo, who was very disappointed with Mortarion, grabbed Mortarion's bowl and stuffed the bowl with the cutlery and rice into his mouth, chewing it in big mouthfuls. Pointing at the food on the table, he continued:
"For example, this killer grass salad. The planet where this plant grows is in the Solar Region, 108,000 miles away from here. Why do you think you can eat it on the Blacklight?
It's because I have power and background. If we were in ancient times, we would be princes. If you don't have power, do you still want to eat well?
This small salad is not simple. It can only be obtained by Blackwatch recruits fighting with trees on Catachan. By the way, how come I found a piece of ceramic steel in my food just now?
Even though I have not been back for long, I have a strong army under my command. Guilliman from the Ultima Segmentum, as well as Angron and Magnus are all members of our Second Empire.
When you have enough friends, your men can kill a country bumpkin alien like Nakre, do you understand?"
Mortarion, who had little social experience, was successfully intimidated by Hogg. If he also had so many powerful soldiers, it would undoubtedly be much easier to kill those hateful aliens.
Mortarion, who had figured it out, put aside his pride and became more tactful. He quickly asked:
"Brother, please help me, I also want to join the Second Empire."
Although Hogg thought Xiao Mo was a little silly, this boy was ambitious and well-spoken, and he was a perfect candidate for the Second Empire. "There's no rush. Since Old Man Huang asked me to help you, I will definitely take you to join the Second Empire family. The most important thing for you now is to ask for benefits from our father.
I ask you, is a person who talks about his ideals with you as soon as he meets you a serious person? "
Mortarion spoke without thinking:
"That's definitely not serious! Who would come up to talk about ideals when meeting each other? We in Babarus always ask 'Have you eaten?' when we meet."
"That's right! Although our father looks so cool, he is actually just a big golden guy with a sword. He knows nothing about the Imperial Truth. His understanding of the Imperial Truth is not as good as that of my Black Light Cult.
I'm not exaggerating! Even the Eldar agree with my ideas and have come to join me. You can see that the tall and thin people around are all Eldar, which shows that I, your brother, am the spokesperson for the Imperial Truth. "
After Mortarion arrived at the Blacklight, he was very curious about why there were other races on the human spaceship. Now he understood after listening to Hogg's explanation, and he felt that the Second Empire was more valuable.
"Xiao Mo, do you know why I, your brother, am so dedicated to teaching you? It's not for anything else, but because we are open-minded! There is no one else except you, my brothers."
Mortarion, who had been lacking love since childhood, was also moved by Hogg. The softness in his heart was touched and he stood up excitedly.
"Brother! From now on you are my big brother. I will definitely realize the grand ambitions of our Second Empire."
"Hahaha! Great, very energetic. Let's go find that golden Ogryn now."
The two of them flew directly to the Emperor's Fantasy by speedboat and met the Emperor.
Relying on the routine that had been discussed in advance, Mortarion knelt down when he saw the Emperor, tears streaming down his face, and loudly confessed his mistakes, emphasizing the word "filial piety".
Then he took out a hardcover copy of "Imperial Truth" and asked the emperor to help him solve his doubts. This made the socially anxious emperor unable to do anything.
Seeing that his offspring was so sensible and had transformed from a rebellious boy into a good son, the Emperor gave Hogg an admiring look and thought to himself:
"This bastard is quite capable. We can let him teach other Primarchs a lesson in the future. It's just that Mortarion's hair is too silly, but the flaws do not outweigh the merits."
The Emperor, who was in a good mood, heard Mortarion crying poor and immediately had the star map brought out. With a wave of his hand, he gave him all the star systems near Barbarus.
The entire bridge exuded a scene of family harmony. Before leaving, the Emperor saw that Mortarion did not have any weapons yet, so he took the two of them directly into his exhibition room.
Looking at the good things hanging on the wall, Hogg's eyes lit up. He changed his usual arrogant look and begged his good father to give him some.
Thinking that Hogg had no merit but had worked hard on this trip, and that I really hadn't given him anything good, I asked him to pick one...
Before the emperor could say anything, he saw a scene that made him furious. The damn bastard directly opened the display case and stuffed the treasures into his pocket dimension.
The angry emperor chased him and beat him severely, allowing him to keep only one item, a giant sword made of the bones of a great demon.
Finally, Mortarion selected a sickle and an energy pistol of alien technology, naming them "Destruction" and "Lantern of Hell".
Hogg decided to call the sword "Frostmourne".
The dog wants to listen to dog songs, Dahuang wants to go home when it rains, it's snowing, it's snowing, a dog painter comes to the snow, he is painting plum blossoms in the snow.
Damn, I cried.
