Chapter 721: First-strike advantage. Guilliman will never fall behind anyone in his life.

"Second brother! You know me well. I am the most loyal person in the entire empire. That yellow-skinned guy hasn't even called me father yet. How could I possibly betray him?"

On the bridge of the Blacklight, Hogg was lobbying Roland, trying to find a way to distance himself from Sera. From his worldview and personality to his humanistic ideals, in a word, he was not responsible for the Second Legion's crimes.

But no matter how Hogg argued, Roland insisted on one thing, that is, it was you who gave Sera the control of the psionic energy, and it was you who made my mother fall into the final madness.

Hearing this, Hogg was stunned. It seemed that you bought a gun from me and killed someone, and then sentenced me to death. This didn't make sense.

"Second brother, since you know that I gave Sera the psionic energy, you should also know how I persuaded her in the beginning. I said I would not be responsible, but who knew that this retribution would fall on the Second Legion.

Besides, although there are reasons for it, I don’t believe that the Second Legion didn’t have its own ideas at the time. You can deceive yourself, but don’t really think that they are loyal.

Only a failed revolution is called a rebellion. If I were you, I would not let Sera control me at all. If she didn't trick me into counting her money, she would be considered smart. And I would not conduct the rebellion so crudely. If you want to blame someone, just blame your incompetence.

No one understands rebellion better than me!"

"Ah~" Roland collapsed on the sofa and looked down at his smug brother. "I know, if you were to lead the Second Legion, maybe Holy Terra would have your last name now, and my father would join the evil god in resisting your tyranny, but my mother wasn't like that before."

Feeling that there was something to eat, there was a sound from the small wooden house in the corner of the bridge, and a head with pointed ears popped out from it. Several Black Watch also slipped out from the shadows, and took out small stools and snacks with great skill. Bane, the guard, also poured Hogg a glass of iced cola.

Roland was socially anxious to begin with, and now there were so many people in front of him, an indescribable tension began to brew in his mind, and he shrank back into the sofa.

"..."

"Speak up! There are so many of us watching. If you don't say anything, I'll finish my Coke."

Roland felt that it was a mistake for him to come to the Black Light. With the powerful senses of the Primarch, he always felt that the ship was alive and there were countless eyes staring at him. This made him very uncomfortable and he felt ashamed as if he was running naked in front of everyone.

But in the end Roland still spoke:

"Like other brothers, I was swept out by the subspace storm and fell to the planet Kalos. As soon as I opened my eyes, I had to face the problem of survival.

But I was lucky. Kalos was a relatively safe world. Its technology level was at the black powder age, and it had basic electrical appliances. This allowed me to not survive in the wasteland, but to find a job as a forest ranger in a small coastal town called Indianmouth. "

Hogg felt that Roland was trying to trick him, but he had no evidence, so he could only snatch Bane's snacks and chew them, and motioned for him to get some more.

"Thanks to the knowledge my father provided to everyone, I quickly adapted to life in Carlos. There was everything in the forest. I built my own shelter, went to the beer hall to have a drink, and earned extra money by giving speeches.

Originally, this kind of life could have lasted for a long time, but every time I went to sleep, there would always be a voice ringing in my ear, saying that it was my cheating system that could allow me to change my fate and become the coolest hunk in the world, competing for the first place in the Chain of Power. Later I found out that it was Sera. "

Having said this, Roland glanced at Hogg, but received only a dull look in his eyes. It was obvious that Hogg was a master at pretending to be confused.

"Don't you have anything to say?"

"Ah? How dare I say anything? This must be just a coincidence." Hogg continued to play dumb, but he had already cursed behind her back. He shouldn't have shown Sera the brainless article about Long Aotian written by Ginny.

"I was only half a year old at the time, and I didn't realize that Sera was a scoundrel. I even recognized her as my mother. If it were me now, my first thought would probably be a conspiracy by Tzeentch, but I believed it anyway.

Following the guidance in my mind, I spent a long time and finally found a prison hidden inside the mountains. I saw Sera, whose brain was sealed in a can. She was surrounded by corpses that she had tricked here before. It was obvious that this was not the first time she had done this.

The defense of that prison was very strong. I tried many times but failed. Perhaps Sera saw that I was different and wanted me to give up and try again later.

But I firmly believed that Sera was my mother, so I rushed over despite being half disabled. Fortunately, the prison facilities were in disrepair and some strong men were affected by Sera, so they were not beaten to death.

Finally, I finished the game with half a breath left, and met my only friend and mother at that time. "

"and then?"

Although it was only briefly mentioned, Elsa had already imagined a heroic epic of no less than thirty episodes in her mind. She was eager to know the outcome and even ignored the fact that Hogg was stealing her snacks.

Roland did not look down upon this alien deity who had been corrupted by the Black Watch. It was because of her existence that the Legion was able to recruit Eldar navigators who could open the Webway.

But seeing how sloppy the goddess looked in her white vest and shorts, Roland thought she was not smart, or had given up, just like his brothers next to him.

"I don't know. Anyway, I merged with Sera after I fell into a coma. The half of my body that was shattered by the laser was restored to its original state, and I also grew a coat of explosive orange cat hair."

Roland glared at Hogg again. He was very familiar with this trick. He had seen Hogg playing with his head as a ball more than once. As far as he knew, Hogg's head was still in the Six-Ring Silver Palace Speed ​​​​of Life and Death.

"It was a wonderful feeling. We became real family, just like you and Shafulin."

Hearing someone calling him, Shafulin poked his head out from Hogg's chest, and saw a group of people staring at him, so he shrank back cursing.

"I take back what I said before. Sera is someone who could be my mother, but she's not as pure as Shafulin."

"The rest of the story is relatively simple. I grew up little by little with Serra by my side and learned a lot of knowledge. When I was 5 years old, I was elected mayor. When I was 6 years old, I founded a political party and entered the local political power center with a speech.

Half a year later, I had become the head of state with 30 million people under my command. With the help of Sera and the knowledge in my mind, I invented a series of epoch-making war weapons, including tanks, radars, and even individual mechanical powered exoskeletons.

Then came the war. Since Kalos was too remote and there was no hive city on the planet, it took me only three years to conquer 32 countries and unify the entire planet. And with the help of the Iron Man Robot made by Sera, Kalos entered a period of rapid development.

Roland was very proud, as this might be his most beautiful memory, but Hogg quickly poured cold water on him.

"Then the Emperor came and gave you a greater mission. You took over the legion and became the Warmaster. You gradually recovered the lost territory. Eventually, as your business grew, you discovered that Old Man Huang was a liar.

Sera also fell into chaos because she could not bear too much faith. After comparing the two, everyone who saw the gap felt deceived. The contradiction became bigger and bigger, but you could only stand there helplessly and furiously. Finally, Sera lost control, Roland exploded to death, and the Second Legion became an imperial ghost that could not be mentioned.

Am I right? "

Roland had nothing to say but nodded in agreement, but this time he was not here to tell a story. Instead, he wanted Hogg to rescue Sera.

Now it was Hogg's turn to be surprised. It turned out that she was not dead yet! But thinking about the tough skin of the psionic infected and Sera being a warlord in the dark technology era, maybe she was still alive.

At the same time, Guilliman and his companions, far away in Kalos, had already used molten metal to clear a path into the steel mountain range.

Looking at the various waste materials wrapped in cables in front of him, Guilliman picked up a Mark II helmet stuck in the aisle. Through the broken tactical eyepiece, he seemed to see a pitiful warrior who destroyed the aliens in the Great Crusade but ended up fighting with his compatriots.

However, compared with the sudden sound in my ears, a helmet seemed too ordinary.

"System entry successful, soul binding completed, ready to start novice guidance...

Haha, looks familiar?
This kind of scene is happening all over the galaxy right now, and you may be next. Unless you can make the most important choice in your life (a burst of impassioned music)

Prove to everyone that you have the strength and courage to pursue loyalty, join the evolution! Become the elite of mankind! Meet strange life forms.

Let the light of courage shine throughout the galaxy, become a hero, become a legend, become the first person in the Chain of Power, and complete your novice mission! "

The three of them looked at each other, all feeling that their intelligence was insulted, and then looked at Inoman who was about to tear the sole of his shoe behind him.

Being stared at by the Primarch was already stressful enough, and with the addition of two extremely tough guys, Titus and Kaido, the old cat-man felt like he was about to have a heart attack. But even so, it was not as serious as the embarrassment caused by this voice.

"Well, actually I'm not the Fourth Captain of the Second Legion. I'm just a gear boy who maintains the ship. I've never met the Legion Commander. I don't know her."

The old cat man's explanation was so pale, completely opposite to his previous proud look, he almost found a crack in the ground to crawl into, but Kaido, who held a grudge, did not let him go and directly played the Blackwatch recruitment advertisement on the terminal.

As Hogg's rhythmic voice sounded, the almost identical lines proved that the previous voice was crudely made.

Perhaps he felt a little embarrassed, the chattering in everyone's ears disappeared, and as if trying to cover up his own faults, the entire space began to deform, and directly spit out several people. Before they were spit out, a metal cable whipped Kaido and almost broke the wires of his helmet.

Thanks to the good quality of the armor, the four people who fell from a high altitude landed safely. Only Kaido was covered in smoke, obviously due to the whipping just now.

Kaido took off his helmet and looked at the broken pointed ear decoration. He felt a little distressed. This was his new armor. He wanted to go back and show off. Now it was broken and he had to go back to repair it:

"I hope His Highness Hogg will provide after-sales service, otherwise..."

"boom!"

As Kaido complained, a small explosion suddenly occurred, and a large amount of metal scrap fell from the mountains and was about to hit them.

Without any delay, everyone was a strong man who had experienced going in and out of the alien demons. They performed tactical avoidance as soon as the explosion occurred. Even the old cat man lay down and slipped behind Guilliman.

The impact did not stop, and more and more debris fell from the sky. This kind of high-altitude falling objects weighing tens of thousands of tons could not be stopped at all. Even Guilliman started to run away with his legs dancing.

In just half a minute, the four people with the help of jet packs had flown into the air. The piece of grass where they had stayed before was already filled with waste and was filled with smoke and debris.

"No, I just put up an ad. Is it necessary to target me like this?"

"Shut up, this isn't directed at us, look where."

Looking along Titus' arm, a metal face emerging from the mountains was looming. Although this face was made of waste materials, Guilliman recognized it as Sera at a glance.

Perhaps it was because it discovered the little bugs in the air, more and more metal cables emerged from it, absorbing and assembling all the parts it could find, and the entire mountain range was completely shattered.

"Hogg, where are you? It hurts!"

As the smoke and dust cleared, a giant half-body robot three kilometers tall crawled out from the mountains and was madly attacking everything around it. With a light wave of its hand, it lifted up half of the forest, making the people's scalps tingle.

After a brief frenzy, the scrap machine suddenly turned its head, and its two eyes made of discarded Titan heads lit up red, looking at Guilliman and others who were watching in mid-air, especially Kaido who had read out Hogg's name before.

"You smell like him. You must know where he is. Hand him over now."

Thousands of tentacles ended everything, and countless metal cables shot out and pierced Kaido who was floating in the air.

Within a nanosecond, Guilliman reacted instantly. Fifteen micro-nuclear bombs came out in droves, kicking away the two heirs who were about to raise their guns to shoot, and a psychic spear with destructive power gradually lit up in his hand.

'boom! ’

Fifteen consecutive nuclear explosions caused the air to burn, and the core was even hotter than the surface of a star, but Guilliman knew that this could not be stopped at all. His armor was on crazy alarm, and high-concentration psionic pollution was everywhere.

The precautionary plan for Hogg is no longer a secret. Except for Mortarion, almost every Primarch has thought about it. This does not mean distrust of Hogg. On the contrary, this proposal was made by Hogg himself.

In that simulation, even if all the Primarchs joined forces, they could not completely destroy Hogg, and there was no chance of winning in a one-on-one fight. The only way was to consume the energy beyond visual range and continuously bombard with a series of energy weapons such as light spears, among which the Necromancer's Gauss weapons were the most effective.

The most important thing is not to give him a chance to rest, never use live ammunition, and do not send people to join him in the battle. He must be burned continuously, and it would be best if even the planet was blown up. He must be weakened to a certain extent in the void with no supplies before being sealed.

Thinking of this, Guilliman used his psychic power to order the scion to retreat immediately, and he also called on the Jackdaw in orbit to carry out orbital bombardment.

13 seconds later, the divine punishment that fell from the sky slammed towards Sera, burning everything with extremely high temperature. The continuous burning lasted for a full seconds, and Guilliman heard a wailing sound.

But he did not let his guard down, instead he recalled a sentence he had used to tease Hogg;

"What would you do if you were bombarded by a spear of light?"

Guilliman remembered that Hogg was very arrogant at that time, and he jumped up and hit him on the head: "Of course I have to shoot down the ship that dares to blow up my ship. A mere light spear can't kill me at all. After I take it down, I can blow the battleship into pieces with a mouth cannon! ”

Various energy interferences made the surface of the earth hazy and unclear. Coupled with the psionic pollution that could cover detection, the battlefield below was covered by the fog of war, and Guilliman was unable to observe it physically.

But with Hogg, the Empire's tough king, testifying in person, even if he couldn't see through the fog, Guilliman felt that it was almost the same as an open-book exam. He even knew what the moves were. The only problem was Sera. He hoped that she had really learned what Hogg taught her.

When the Light Lance bombardment reached the twentieth second, the muzzle of the Jackdaw was already red and had to be cooled down.

Guilliman knew that he was always hesitant in duels because he thought too much, but this time, he would prove to the world that he was not the stretcher primarch.

"3...2...1,

Now! Initiate evasive maneuvers"

Sera, who had been suppressed for a long time, roared, and at the moment the orbital bombardment stopped, scarlet lightning flashed all over her body. She aimed her head at the Jackdaw in orbit, and Guilliman also threw out his psychic javelin.

Sera had seen the bug a long time ago. Even though she was driven by instinct, she still believed that she could withstand the attack. She roared out her powerful and unstoppable moves just like she did when she fought the Emperor ten thousand years ago.
"Eat my Dragon King-Another Dimensional Mouth and Teeth!!!"

The death ray filled with destructive energy tore through the clouds and cut through the sky like a sword. Once hit, the psionic power's magic-breaking properties would overload the Jackdaw's void shield in just half a second, rendering the shield that was supposed to divert the attack into the subspace ineffective.

But no matter how targeted the attack is, if it misses the target, it's just a joke.

The Jackdaw, upon receiving the order, drifted at its maximum, and with the help of Guilliman's targeted blast, it narrowly avoided the death ray.

Three seconds later, the brilliant spear of light lit up again, and only a suppressed wail of pain resounded through the earth:
"Ho~Ge, where are you? It hurts so much!"
