Chapter 716: The Undead - Serasil
Those who play with time will be played by time. When you are feeling complacent, you don’t realize that you have already been trapped in the spider web.
In the shuttle cabin, everyone who had eaten and drunk their fill was pretending to be dead. Perhaps Emilia's threat worked, and the pots and pans were finally cleaned up by Hogg, so that they had to eat dry food for the past two days.
"Why are you so slow? We should have been very fast when we got here."
Hogg was complaining. He didn't know why such a change happened. Logically, the return journey should be the same as the outward journey, and the time should also be the same, but the problem was that the flight was delayed.
As a negative psychic Ogryn, Hogg knew nothing about psychic powers, but the others were knowledgeable, not to mention that in this small shuttle cabin there were powerful psychics such as Old Man Huang and Malcador, who were among the top psychics in the empire.
This was not the first time Hogg had complained. In order to stop the annoying buzzing sound, the Emperor spoke:
"Why are you yelling? After getting away from those blood-sucking bugs, my strength is returning. I think it will take half a day to succeed. You should think about how to face Roland."
"What does it have to do with my second brother? Don't slander me."
Although it was indeed due to his own negligence that Sera's transformation plan went wrong, the result was good. Hogg did not think there would be any mistakes, not to mention what this had to do with Roland.
The Emperor stopped talking. He suddenly realized that Hogg and Lorgar, the two rebellious sons, returned late and did not experience the rebellion. When he discovered Hogg, Roland had committed suicide and everything was settled.
But the more the emperor acted like this, the more curious Hogg became. He and Luo Jia looked at each other and felt that this old man Huang was hiding something from them again.
Perhaps he was annoyed by the noise, Makado at the side said:
"Let me ask you something. If a creature calls itself a cat-man, but has no hair on its body, only a pair of cat ears on its head and a cat tail behind it, is it an alien?"
"Isn't that nonsense? It doesn't even have hair, so it's definitely an alien. If what you said is true, then this alien has four ears and two holes on its head, right?
The skull is mutated, what else could it be but an alien? Could it be a cat girl? But why does a cat girl have no hair? Malcador, have you become stupid from eating grass? "
The seal holder's fist hardened. He shouldn't have said such a thing, but what Hogg said was true. The main basis for the human empire to judge whether a person has mutated is the skull. Except for the face, the imperial cat people are covered with a layer of fine fur all over their bodies, and they don't have a pair of strange ears on top of their heads.
If the so-called cat girl in fantasy works really appears, then this must be the demon of Slaanesh who poisons the youth of the empire. Just shoot her with a gun, and you will never go wrong.
"It's OK for you to know, but the problem is that the cat-man subspecies seems to have appeared out of thin air. The so-called alien cat girls are the popular gameplay in the dark technology era. The most important thing is that the cat-man's home planet is Carlos, and that planet is also Roland's home planet."
"Let me tell you." The emperor straightened up, leaned against the cabin like a salted fish, stretched out two fingers and gestured, and Hogg also very tactfully opened a box of cigarettes.
As seven columns of smoke rose, a holographic projection formed entirely by the Emperor's psychic energy appeared in front of everyone. As the perspective zoomed in, a deeply transformed planet came into view.
“When I saw Sera’s new form, I realized the result. This is a disaster, a disaster comparable to the Randan alien. In this accident, the Empire is not glorious, or rather, all of us are not glorious.
Perhaps you have heard that after the Second Legion's rebellion, I ordered the memory of all those who knew about it to be erased, but what you don't know is how much trouble Roland has caused, even bigger than what you, Hogg, have caused."
Seeing that Old Man Huang was scolding him in different ways, Hogg really wanted to slap him. What did he mean by "the trouble is bigger than what I caused"? He, Hogg, was loyal and his will was as strong as steel and nothing could take away his will. If he had a rebellious heart, he would have joined the Gnolls long ago and at least become an emperor.
Without making a sound, the Emperor knew what was in Hogg's mind, so he took action immediately and punched him:
"It's no use thinking about it. I know you're cursing me behind my back, but you're nowhere near as heretical as Roland. He wasn't as gentle as he is now. Instead, he was an extremely proud man. You can think of him as a combination of Jonson, Perturabo, and Fogg, with Lorgar probably added in.
His favorite thing was to punch his enemy's head off, and he said it was some kind of Elvis head punch."
Now everyone looked over, even Hogg wanted to know what his socially anxious second brother had done. How could he be more loyal than himself?
And what about the so-called collective? Is this really such a wonder that it can exist in the world?
However, the Emperor nodded, and with a regretful tone that should not have appeared in a despicable person like him, he began to speak:
"That's right, this weirdo is your second brother, and he's even worse than that. Apart from your mistress, your purity is still too low. At best, you've colluded with aliens and created aliens, but you haven't taken the step of true subversion.
But Roland had come into contact with both aliens and AI. The entire Second Legion, even the Space Marines of Terran origin, believed that the Empire was the alien and attempted to overthrow the entire Imperial regime. The most important thing was that they were not wrong, but when I discovered it, it was too late.
Do you know why the Second Legion is called the Slayer? Because they can physically crush the enemy in front of them with overwhelming force.
When the civil war broke out, most of the Space Wolves were killed or wounded, and the First Legion had to return from the expeditionary front to defend, which even forced me to lead the Custodians to personally go to the battlefield. Relying on the decapitation tactic, I gathered the strength of five legions to eliminate them. "
Hogg couldn't understand. If he took Blackwatch as an example and asked them to fight against five legions, he was confident that he could use the high mobility of the Webway to conduct guerrilla warfare, and carry out roundabout consumption by cutting off the Empire's transportation and communications, and nibble away at the enemy step by step with his heavy firepower advantage.
Blackwatch is characterized by high mobility and heavy firepower, and the most important and special of these is the Zerg beast.
As long as the war begins, there will be no shortage of biomass, and bread rolls will be everywhere. Even if the conversion ratio is 1000 to 1, Hogg will still make a profit.
In addition, Blackwatch is very rich, so rich that some legions are jealous of it. Even if they die, they can be resurrected, and the thing they fear least is a war of attrition.
Like the Warlord-class Titan, although it is used as a background board, as if one will be scrapped in a battle, it is more like a stepping stone. But the fact is just the opposite. War weapons of these specifications have the highest survivability on the battlefield.
It is a divine machine that can truly turn the tide of a battle. The only way to break its thick void shield is orbital bombardment, but the Titan can also strike back from low and blow up warships in orbit with its powerful firepower.
How many of these goodies does Blackwatch have? The answer is 111. If you add in the other smaller Titan Groups, they can already compete with the Firebee Legion during the civil strife on Mars. That was the ace unit of the entire Mechanicus.
Not to mention that in Blackwatch, the Knight Mech is the real main force. If they can't afford to build a big one, then they will build a small one. As a fan of Iron Turbulence, Blackwatch has been desperately manufacturing Knight Mechs since Hogg's return, even stealing and taking them, and it has been built for more than 10,000 years.
As the nominal commander of the legion, Hogg doesn't even know how many knight mechas he has. If all of them were pulled out, there would be more of them than the air in Lays potato chips.
With the current strength of Blackwatch, Hogg is confident that he can fight one against five, and this is still the apparent strength. If he is more unscrupulous, he can get sponsorship from all his good brothers when he returns to the subspace.
Perhaps because he was too proud of himself, Hogg couldn't help but smile when he thought of this, but before he could laugh out loud, the Emperor punched him again:
"Xiaoxiaoxiao, I'm not fucking dead yet. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. How can this be compared? If you remove the webway and the swarm, I don't believe you can fight five people at once, and face the entire Imperial Guard led by me personally.
I forgot to tell you that there are now 50,000 imperial guards. How can you fight me?"
Hearing this, Hogg laughed out loud:
"Old man Huang, are you a fool? Since the Cyberway War, 80% of the Imperial Guards are now Ainokitesvara, and the remaining 20% have all received benefits from me. From weapons and equipment to their families, they are all provided by Blackwatch, and we even receive gifts during festivals.
The entire Holy Terra Defense Force was well fed by me, and the Dark Portal on the Moon was built by me personally, so the Mechanicus on Mars next door had to call me Om Messiah.
You're not thinking about Dorn, are you? The Imperial Fists have gone out to fight the Iron Warriors. The Death Guard are now guarding Holy Terra. Don't test your relationship with Xiao Mo. I'm afraid he'll kill you with his scythe.
Hahaha, Huang Lao Han, Huang Lao Han! What are you thinking? You are actually competing with me. The entire Holy Terra is mine. You are the one who comes.
If I wanted to rebel, would you still want to command the imperial guards? You're kidding me. If they don't beat you with six sticks every second until you scream, I'll call you daddy.
Eh? That's not right! You call me dad, but that's not right either. Anyway, one of us must be a son.
Hahaha. "
"(▼Benefit▼)"
The emperor was angry, but only for a moment. Who could understand how he felt when he woke up on the Golden Throne and found that all the guards around him had dog heads under their helmets.
"Think what you want, but I don't know who wanted to establish the Second Empire but failed to do so, and ended up with the title of the Fourth. No one came after the announcement. Could it be you? Ah! The great Emperor of the Fourth Empire, should I call you His Majesty Hogg?"
It's no use bringing up this issue. The Fourth Reich has always been a pain in Hogg's heart. If he had known that he wouldn't be able to recruit people, he would not have established the country. This way, everyone can laugh at him for this matter.
They are truly father and son. Malcador really wants to throw these two bitches out of the window. With two monarchs and princes like this, this empire will be finished sooner or later.
"Shut up, now is not the time to argue about which of you two is more stupid..."
As soon as Makado looked up, he found two valuable objects blocking his way. Apart from the difference in size and color, their low moral standards looked exactly the same.
"Ah~"
“I have been harmed by you in my life, but what I want to say is that only 22 years have passed since Roland’s return, and the Second Legion was able to fight against the power of five legions head-on without the Webway and the Zerg, and almost reached Holy Terra.
The Second Legion has no Zerg and no Webway, but they have intelligent control AI and intelligent control robots that can be mass-produced.
As long as the factory is running, their military power will explode exponentially. In addition, Roland is the nominal warmaster of the Empire. Do you really think he is just a sleeping idiot?
And this is just military power. What is even more terrifying is their system and ideology. Compared with the empire's patchwork makeshift team, their ideas are more positive. There is no exploitation or slavery. They use so-called industrial plans and the powerful productivity liberated by AI to achieve miracles.
If you were an ordinary person, or a space warrior fighting everywhere, what would you choose after seeing this kind of regime?
Compared to Carlos at that time, the entire empire was a joke, and everything we did became ridiculous, and then...
Then the rebellion was inevitable!
The reason for all this is because of Roland's teacher, the undead Serasiel, who possessed his body."
PS, Corgi searched for a lot of information, but found no explanation for why the 30nd and th Legions were eliminated. It is known that the red line of the Empire in the K period was AI and aliens, so it is very likely that they are related. Most of the explanations on the Internet are of this kind.
In addition, each Primarch inherited one side of the Emperor and had backups for each other, so if there is no one who plays with genetic technology and intelligent AI, the logic can be self-consistent based on this clue. These are basically the two on the Internet.
But the question is, will the AI and the aliens really erase the names of the legions? Even the rebellious Chaos Cans are unwilling to recall, and instead sneer at these two legions.
Therefore, I boldly speculate that these two legions may be due to aliens and AI, but there should be new reasons, such as one of them established a "new empire". Compared with this so-called new empire, the human empire is a joke.
That’s why there are introductions like Randan alien mind control, and coupled with the era in which Warhammer was born, it always feels like it’s lacking a bit of the flavor of Sukabuli.
Of course, this is all Corgi's speculation, just one person's opinion, don't take it too seriously ( ̄﹃ ̄)
