Chapter 84 And You Are the Real Hero
The news that Hogg was going to be taken away spread quickly throughout the Blackwatch. Even the elves who were just waiting to die were discussing this matter. Everyone was talking about it.
In the Desire Tavern in the Alicia Hive, a beautiful Eldar waitress placed a glass of fruit wine on the bar and listened to the soldiers opposite discussing gossip.
"Have you heard? Lord Hogg is going to be captured."
"What? Where did you hear such nonsense? It is obvious that the Emperor wants to abdicate and let our Primarch take the throne."
"Ah! Really? Brother, you look like a Blackwatcher!"
Seeing everyone attracted by his news, Ross closed his mouth and looked at his empty wine glass. His meaning was very clear.
The soldiers, whose desire for gossip was aroused, quickly gathered together and pooled their money to buy a whole bottle of liquor, hoping to continue listening to some inside information.
"Pop" the cork was popped out by Ross with a finger, making a crisp sound, and then slowly poured into the cup to moisten his throat.
"You may not know, but I am the captain of the first company of Blackwatch. I can see our Gene Father every day, so I often hear some of the little secrets of the Legion.
Although my father strictly ordered us not to say anything, this matter is not confidential and will be reported soon. "
Hearing that the bearded man opposite was the company commander of Black Watch, the soldiers trusted him even more, and even the waitress who was wiping the wine glasses leaned over to come over.
"Hurry up and tell me, little can, you've been drinking, don't dawdle."
The charming and seductive voice coming out of the waiter's mouth made the soldiers dazed for a moment, but Ross did not notice it. His attention was all on the wine glass in his hand.
"Don't be in a hurry, sharp ears, wait until I finish this glass of wine."
After drinking the liquor in the glass in one gulp, Ross felt warm all over. He liked this warm feeling.
"I was on duty that day, and I heard my father and Primarch Horus talking in the house. Although the soundproofing of the house was too good to be clear, I still heard the word Warmaster."
"Warmaster? Is Hogg going to become the Warmaster of the Empire? This is not right! It should be..." The charming waitress murmured unconsciously.
"Yes, it's the Warmaster! Everyone in the empire knows that my master is the best. His beauty is comparable to that of a noble angel, and his wisdom is so great that even Magnus is ashamed of himself, not to mention my father's supreme power.
I was the first Space Marine to meet my father, and I once saw my father last thirty minutes in a duel with the Emperor."
Everyone was surprised to hear that Hogg could actually hold out for thirty minutes in the hands of the Lord of Mankind. After all, he was the Emperor!
Ross was very satisfied with the surprised expressions of the crowd. He liked to see others making a fuss, especially because of his perfect father.
"Yes, a full thirty minutes. It was in the Terran laboratory, when I saw my father stand under the golden light of the Emperor for a full thirty minutes on the hive.
During this time, the battle cries of my father and the Emperor resounded through the heavens and the earth. It was truly a hearty battle! Unfortunately, the Emperor's radiance was too dazzling for me to see clearly.
Afterwards, I asked the guards on duty, and they just smiled and didn't describe it in detail, so it must be that my father's great power shocked them. Maybe my father even defeated the emperor by a narrow margin!"
Ross's narration was vivid and logical, which made everyone agree with his point of view, but this made the waitress's expression even more distorted.
"Besides, my father is deeply respected by the other Primarchs. He found three of them and they have a very close relationship. You know Angron, the Primarch of the War Hounds! They are now called the 'bloodthirsty War Hounds', and it is precisely because of Master Hogg's teachings, and I am also fortunate to be involved in it."
In order to make everyone believe what he said, Ross took off his pants and pulled out a belt, then placed it on the bar.
"See? This is the cane that my father used to whip Angron. The cracks on it are the best proof. After all, it is wrapped with fine gold wire.
Besides, your happy life now is all thanks to you. In order to let everyone live a happy life, our respected father worked 27 hours a day and became thin due to exhaustion. "
Hearing how hard Lord Hogg worked for them, everyone told him about their past experiences.
A worker who looked rather dull stood up. He was not very clean and there was a stain of black motor oil on his trouser leg.
"I used to be a worker in a mining world, where drinking and eating were a luxury, and I was treated like a slave. But I was lucky enough to be sold to the Albert family's colony ship, and was assigned to Alicia with my excellent repair skills.
After coming here, I finally had a full meal, something that can be called food."
A Catachan female warrior also said:
"Yes, ever since Black Watch came to Catachan, we no longer have to fight trees. And I heard from my cousin that after Master Hogg went to Catachan, the number of corpses at the training ground decreased a lot."
Hearing this, Ross almost spit out the wine in his mouth and quickly controlled his expression. After all, he knew the inside story of this matter and couldn't talk nonsense.
"Ah! That's right. Even the man-eating trees on Catachan are afraid of my father's power. So the title of Warmaster will definitely fall on Lord Hogg's head."
The pub suddenly became lively when people talked about the significant improvements in their lives, and the atmosphere reached a climax with everyone talking.
After everyone had expressed their opinions, people's eyes were fixed on the Eldar waitress behind the bar, which made her extremely nervous.
"Speak up! My dear allies, I understand your suffering, just speak it out."
Seeing that the waiter was hesitant and couldn't speak, Ross stood up and comforted her. After all, in his opinion, this Eldar lady was also someone who could provide him with emotional value.
Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, the nervous waitress finally spoke up. Even she felt a sense of absurd pleasure.
"After we Eldar joined the Black Watch, we no longer have to worry about being corrupted. The power of the Primarch, no, Lord Hogg, has given our Eldar new hope. Yes, that's it."
Seeing the Eldar also say so, Ross jumped onto the bar, waved his fist and pointed at everyone and asked:
"Do you know what Lord Hogg often says? Shout it out loud! Let me hear your voices."
The people in the audience puffed out their chests and shouted in unison:
"And you are the true hero of the empire."
"Hahaha, that's right! You are the real heroes."
