Chapter 227: The Council of Nikea
Hogg still couldn't find the person who was speaking. Just as he was about to put everyone in the meeting into a concentration camp and interrogate them one by one, the Emperor spoke:
"Shut up Hogg, aren't you ashamed enough? This is Galaxy Live, and the whole empire knows about your expression just now!"
Hogg, who was so arrogant just now, heard that what he said was broadcast live. Maybe everyone saw how arrogant he was just now. He suddenly felt dizzy and couldn't even stand steadily.
The other brothers looked at Hogg's embarrassing look with all kinds of expressions, some gloating, some numb, and even Alpha, who was acting as the host, cut to a wide shot and took a picture of this colorful royal scene.
But Hogg was not a man of high moral standards. Seeing that his reputation was completely ruined and he was powerless to turn the situation around, he glanced at Alpha who was still grinning.
As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, and thinking that he was doomed and no one else would have an easy life, Hogg pounced on the panicked Omega and snatched the camera from his shoulder.
Hogg, who had grabbed the camera, took out the black material disk he had prepared and inserted it into the port, yelling:
"Damn it! Now that I'm done, no one else can have an easy life, ah!"
Anyone who knew Hogg a little bit knew what he wanted to do as soon as they saw him rushing towards the camera. At this point, it didn't matter who was right or wrong. God knew what was inside the disk.
The Emperor pointed at Hogg below and shouted, "Stop him!"
Alpha and Omega, who were closest to him, grabbed Hogg's hands and pulled him out, fearing that he would do something stupid.
Alpha suspected that the disk contained her complete photo album. If she sent it out, she would be too embarrassed to face anyone. She grabbed Hogg's neck and wanted him to let go of the camera.
"Hogg, calm down! You already have a bad reputation, how much worse can it get? Brothers still have some dignity to keep!"
"There's no going back, let me go, I can't leave you alone and embarrass yourself."
The heartbroken Hogg didn't care about anything else. He used brute force to break free from the two people's restraints and was about to press the send button.
But Alpha's strenuous resistance bought him some time, and before Hogg's finger pressed the send button, the other primarchs arrived.
No matter whether they were hanging out with Hogg or Horus, more than a dozen Primarchs took one side each and dragged Hogg out, and this scene was perfectly captured by the camera that was scrambling for it.
Such a dramatic scene made the number of people watching Empire online reach an unprecedented and even unmatched historical high.
As long as there is an internet connection, all living things are watching this scene. As humans, their instinct to watch the show makes them all hope that Hogg will press the button, wanting to learn the shocking secret of this distinguished person.
But even if Hogg could fight any Primarch alone, he couldn't withstand the pull of a dozen big guys. Even if his body could withstand it, the camera that was the target of the fight couldn't.
With the teeth-grinding sound of metal tearing, the camera that had endured the pain that it shouldn't have to endure was torn to pieces, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they had finally saved their reputation.
But all the Primarchs present had forgotten one extremely crucial person, and that was Curze, who had a huge body and a cat behind him.
This dark crawler looked at the disk that rolled to its feet, and the infinite desire for death in its heart burst out in an instant. It controlled the fearless mechanical arm to pick it up.
In order to better handle online quarrels, the fearless mecha carrying Koz had been modified many times, and its processing performance was comparable to that of a small ship. Koz inserted the disk and quickly browsed the contents. After deleting all the information about himself, he silently backed up a set, and then secretly threw the disk into the crowd.
The disk eventually rolled to Horus' feet. When the Warmaster picked up this important piece of black material, everyone's eyes were focused on him, and he finally experienced what it meant to be the popular choice.
Under everyone's expectant eyes, Warmaster Horus crushed the disk with one hand, which drew cheers from everyone.
But just as everyone was cheering, Archangel Saint Jervis suddenly said:
"Where's Hogg?"
The crowd, who had almost forgotten about this scourge, started looking for him in a hurry. Then, they saw Hogg crawling towards the darkness of the door like a maggot.
Perhaps he was too focused on crawling that Hogg didn't pay attention to the situation around him. Just when he was only half a meter away from the door and was about to escape.
The heavy and magnificent door was kicked open from the outside. The huge force caused Hogg, who was closest to the door, to be blown away. Then a rampant voice was heard:
"You didn't even wait for me before the meeting. You Ogryns really don't take me, the Red King, seriously!"
But Magnus soon discovered that he seemed to have come at the wrong time. His cool appearance did not attract the attention of his brothers. Instead, he saw Hogg's eyes that wanted to kill him.
Before Magnus understood what was going on, he saw a group of brothers beating up Hogg, who was terrified. The miserable screams filled the entire venue.
Half an hour later, order was restored to the chaotic venue and everyone sat in their seats again, but the only extra person was a dwarf who was hung upside down in the middle of the venue.
In order to prevent this troublesome thing from disrupting the meeting, Rogdorn also contributed a huge lemon and stuffed it into Hogg's mouth.
In this bizarre scene, the meeting was officially held, and the Emperor also told the true content of the meeting:
"Control the psychics in the Legion! And even gradually reduce the number of psychics we recruit."
After hearing the Emperor's proposal, the various forces reacted differently. Most of the ordinary humans agreed, especially the Astropaths whose business was taken away by the Nila terminal.
This group of three-eyed human communicators had long been thinking about monopolizing the communications industry again. After hearing the emperor's proposal, they nodded their heads more happily than anyone else.
As for the Legion, Horus, the daddy's boy, would definitely agree. He would definitely not oppose the Emperor's proposal. Among the remaining Primarchs, half were watching and the other half remained silent.
Only Mortarion looked as if it was none of his business. As the one who hated witchcraft the most among the Primarchs, his Death Guard had very few navigators, let alone psykers and Space Marines.
The emperor's proposal meant nothing to him, and was not even as attractive to him as what to eat for dinner.
But one person stood up and shouted:
"I disagree!"
