Chapter 97 Dead People Are Much More Useful Than Living People
Kalia Weston is the name of the little girl who dared to confront Hogg, and now she is following Hogg like a follower.
That night, Hogg, who was very angry, successfully vented his anger, but it only made Luojia suffer.
And it was the first time that Luo Jia realized that sometimes words were useless. When Hogg's fist hit him, Luo Jia, who was still thinking about preaching to his brother, closed his mouth, but opened it again quickly.
Luo Jia, who had been whipped by Kor Phaeron in the past, had never felt such pain. Every whip from Hogg made him scream.
Even with Horus's support, Lorgar was beaten into a pig's head. People in the whole town could hear Lorgar's screams and witnessed a good show of "brothers, relatives and friends respectful to each other".
"I have to say, Lorgar feels really good when he beats me up. His screams are just right, which makes me excited! He is much more powerful than that brat Mortarion."
Walking on the streets destroyed by the aftermath of last night's battle, looking at the Black Watch engineering troop carrying out reconstruction here, Hogg turned around and looked at the little tail behind him.
"Little thing, open your eyes and look at the world! We, Blackwatch, can build houses for people, help them get out of poverty and become rich, and give them enough food to eat, but the damn gods you mentioned can't do anything."
After his defense was broken, Hogg wanted very much to prove that he was not a god, but perhaps due to deep-rooted habits, Kalia still stubbornly called Hogg "Lord God", but both sides took a step back and she called him Holy Father.
"Yes, Holy Father, you are not a god. After all, they cannot compare to you. You are the real Holy Father."
Apparently, in Kalia's little head, she still believed that Hogg was her god, even though he was just called by a different name.
"As long as you are happy, to be honest, even when my unfilial father beat me, I have never felt so tired. Why don't you be my little brother? My Black Light Cult is in need of talents like you."
Although Kalia is a problem child whose mind is obsessed with religion, on the other hand, most people like him are more loyal, and he will surely shine if he joins his own Black Light Sect.
Without giving Kalia a chance to answer, Hogg directly arranged a life package for her in Blackwatch, and soon a recruiting officer took her to the Blacklight.
If all goes well, Kalia will be sent to Catachan for training within a month, and after spending five years as a novice, she will become a glorious Blackwatch as long as she survives.
"Oh! Who says I have a kind heart? I hope this little fellow can remember my kindness."
The good man Hogg, who was completing his daily patrol mission, saw a group of local people rushing into the city. There were two headless corpses swaying up and down behind one of the horses, and the direction of the team was exactly where Luojia lived.
"My Lord Priest, something bad has happened. Pope Kor Phaeron and Priest Erebus have been killed. We have only found their remains."
Upon hearing the news, Luo Jia ran out in a hurry, and then saw two headless bodies lying on the ground. Although the bodies had been torn into pieces by hunting dogs after a night, Luo Jia still recognized their identities at a glance.
"Father!! Ah and Erebus, you guys..."
Having lost his relatives and friends, Luo Jia fell to his knees. The great sadness invaded his heart and made him shed tears.
"God! Why do you treat me like this? I have already found my blood relatives, but why do you let me lose them again? Is this a test from you?"
Horus, who followed him, was confused. Didn't he tell Hogg not to act rashly and investigate the matter first? How come you killed them and cut off their heads just after one night? Horus, who labeled Hogg as moody in his heart, glanced at him, but as the big brother, he did not identify Hogg. He didn't want to destroy the relationship between brothers because of two mere mortals.
Now that it had already happened, the only thing Horus was worried about was whether Hogg had done it cleanly. After all, he was the Primarch of the Luna Wolves, and his gentleness was only effective towards his brothers.
When Hogg saw Horus's affirmative look, he thought to himself that Horus was indeed kind-looking but had a dark heart, and he really pretended to be like that.
Horus, who had something to hide, still had some dignity to spare, and hurried over to comfort Lorgar, but someone was quicker than him. A dark shadow pounced on the corpse, and then an uncomfortable cry was heard.
"Ah! Father, brother, why did you die? I wanted to take you back to the empire to enjoy happiness."
"I can't live without your guidance! Do you really want me, a grey-haired man, to send you two black-haired people off?"
"Woo! Woo! Woo!"
Putting aside the fact that he almost smashed the corpse into a pulp, Hogg's wailing was enough to make people cry. His tears as big as beans wet the entire ground. If you didn't know, you would have thought that Hogg's father had died!
After hearing Hogg's tears, Luo Jia was not so sad anymore. He thought that Hogg was a bastard who only knew how to use violence, but tears could not be faked, and he could feel that Hogg was really sad.
In order to take care of his emotions, Luo Jia comforted Ke Hogg instead.
"Don't cry, brother. I didn't expect you to be such an emotional person. I wronged you. I shouldn't have called you a bastard in my heart. I believe that if the two of them saw you, they would be very happy too!"
Hogg, who knew when to quit, closed his tear glands at the right time and silently wrote down in his little notebook that Luo Jia had called him a bastard. However, Hogg, who loved his job, had to continue acting.
If Perturabo was here, he would definitely feel familiar and would immediately order the Iron Blood to open its macro cannons for bombing, but the naive Lorgar did not understand the evil of human nature.
"Well, you are right, Luojia. Although I have never met the two heroes, one of them is your father who takes good care of you and raises you with all his heart, and the other is your amiable and silent friend who supports you.
Your father is my father, your friend is my friend, how can I not be sad when my father dies? I will do my part to prepare for the future!
Don't worry, Luo Jia, my brother is here. I will give our father and brothers a grand funeral. I will cremate them with the best promethium, and then throw their ashes into the sun, so that they can turn into the sun and watch over us forever."
"Thank you, Hogg. I don't know what to say. I believe their souls will also feel comforted."
Hogg didn't know whether he was relieved or not, but his soul was definitely gone. The souls of these two scumbags were captured by the psionic energy and burned to ashes by Hogg. If there really was a spirit in heaven, it should be him, Hogg.
Looking at Hogg, who murdered his father and cried wolf, Horus could only curse him as shameless in his heart, but he could do nothing but watch.
"Luo Jia, I am so sad about their departure, but I am so lucky to have a brother like you! You have never called me brother until now. Can you fulfill this small request of mine?"
Looking at Hogg's sad yet yearning eyes, Luo Jia's heart trembled, and he said with great care:
"Hogg, you will always be my dearest brother."
