Hogg walked out of the secret room and felt that he had made a fortune, but he still pretended not to care and returned to Blacklight.
When it came to Blacklight's Dimensional Warehouse, Hogg couldn't bear it anymore and burst out laughing wildly:
"Old Man Yellow, you really don't understand! Who can be Inquisitor when they can collect taxes! I am really the first emperor of Qin to win by touching the wires!"
Just now, Hogg didn't tell the truth. He erased part of his memory when he felt he was about to suffer. Even Old Man Yellow used psychic lie detector to have no effect. After all, what Hogg said was indeed what he believed to be the truth at that time.
Although Hogg is a physics player, and the only one who is good at it is Psionic Energy, his skill list is too poor, just like the big Ancient One who drives Tiga, who doesn't know how to use skills.
But Hogg, who was proficient in flesh and blood manipulation, had his own way. He removed his own brainstem and then filled it with a Hive Ship core whose consciousness had been eliminated.
You must know that Hogg has no vital points of a humanoid creature. The brainstem that maintains basic activities is just a piece of meat. The newly installed Hive Ship can be used as a consciousness backup organ. It is full of Hogg's dirty little secrets.
When Hogg came back, they immediately synchronized the backup information and found out that their success rate was not 70% but 90%.
"I laugh at Neoth's lack of plans and Malcador's lack of wisdom. No one can find out Blackwatch's little secret."
But what excites Hogg the most is that from Emperor, he got the job of going to local tax collection. You must know that tax collection is a technical job, and the scope of operation can reach the sky.
Hogg In his previous life, there was a big country named Eagle Nation. The most feared person in that country was an organization called IRS. There is one sentence that can describe how powerful they are - only death and taxes are inescapable.
In the history of mankind in the Warhammer universe, Hogg found that there was no record of this organization, so Emperor and Malcador had no idea how much power this job brought.
Hogg can completely rely on its own transportation network to go to any planet through the act of collecting taxes. When the time comes, as long as there is a place where Imperial Tithe has been taxed, troops can be sent.
Moreover, when the time comes, it is entirely possible to release spies in the name of collecting taxes, which is much more free than the few Sanctums who are under the control of Malcador.
Hogg has already seen the grand occasion of Blackwatch in the future. As long as Imperium is still there, Blackwatch will not fail.
This is also a fallback path left by Hogg for his heirs. God knows whether Space Marine will be dealt with by Emperor after Great Crusade is completed.
Thinking of this, Hogg quickly asked Emilia and the others to send a team of government officials to Terra. Space Marine on Blacklight are all reckless people and will not do such things at all.
In the next few days, Hogg stayed directly with Malcador, seriously discussed with him the responsibilities of the new department, and established a department named Tax Bureau after the arrival of government officials.
With the documents printed with the blood of Emperor, Malcador and himself, Hogg spent a huge sum of money to buy a piece of land next to the Imperial Palace, and then asked Rogal Dorn to build Tax Bureau's office space.
Looking at the Tax Bureau office building that was built, Hogg felt that he was really going to take off this time, and the golden decoration that Dorn painted on the exterior of the building was also pleasing to the eye.
After leaving a group of people behind, Hogg thought that he could really have some fun this time, but was directly driven back to Alicia's hometown by Emperor, asking him to prepare supplies for the next expedition.
According to Emperor, he will go there personally on the next expedition, and Hogg will form Coalition with several other Primarch to expand Imperium's territory to unknown areas.
It is also said that the scale of Coalition this time will be quite large, and Hogg is required to prepare material reserves that can be used for at least 5 years, and to set up a route in the direction of the expedition.
After receiving the order, Hogg could only go back to Alicia to prepare. It may be because Emperor knew about Hogg's wealth and ignored it after setting the time. This made Hogg scold Old Man Yellow for not being a good person.
Hogg, who drove Blacklight away from Terra, didn't know that Trazyn's clone was released by Emperor only after he left, and that the interrogation in the secret room was completely a trap set up by Emperor to find Malcador.
The investigation of Blackwatch is just a matter of course. The fundamental purpose is to give Hogg a comprehensive inspection to see if Hogg has been tampered with by Necrons.
If Horus knew about it, he would definitely hug Emperor's lap and cry, saying that he was the first son to return, and would be jealous of Hogg's favor.
At this time, Horus was really in a bad mood, just because he met some remnants of his former enemies, and these enemies were the biggest pain in Horus's expedition career - Jingyuan Federation.
The first person to discover Jingyuan Federation was actually the 40th Expedition Team of Space Wolves, and then notified nearby Horus.
At that time, Horus believed that Jingyuan Federation was a brother of mankind, and sent a team of diplomats and promised them autonomy, hoping that they could develop together with Imperium.
It's just that Horus's dream was shattered. The diplomats sent were killed directly. What was sent back were just pieces of human remains. The troops on the other side mocked Horus as not human beings at all.
Jingyuan Federation believed that Imperium was not a human government at all, and Space Marine did not think that these robots with only brains were their compatriots, so the war broke out, and both sides tried every means to eliminate each other.
The final result was that this group of so-called orthodox humans with only their brains left had their home planet blown to pieces, and a small number of surviving Federation residents were teleported out of the battlefield, completely disappearing from Imperium's sight.
And now, this group of remnant people has been discovered by Horus again, and whether their outcome will be destruction or survival depends entirely on Horus's thoughts.
On the bridge of Vengeful Spirit, looking at the buildings on the surface of the planet through the monitor, Horus had mixed feelings in his heart. He once again stood at the crossroads of choice.
Recalling the last painful experience, Horus knew that it would be the easiest way to release Exterminatus, but he still believed that the creatures on the opposite side were humans, and they were just a branch of humanity that had gone astray.
Just like his short brother, they are part of Terra after all, and the meaning of Great Crusade is to save them and return them to the embrace of Imperium.
"Let's go! Let's evacuate here. They are no longer a threat. Our goal is the unknown territory in the distance."
Horus, who issued the order, decided to save their lives. The Ying Yue Wolf's fleet sailed into the nearby Mandeville Point, a huge purple portal opened in the void, and they left.
Not long after Luna Wolves left, a huge celestial body full of waste suddenly teleported to the starry sky, and the terrifying Green Tide spread to the nearby world.
"Waaaagh!!!"
Watermelons are so expensive. I bought one yesterday when I saw the price was reduced. I didn't expect it to weigh more than ten kilograms. I ate the melon with tears in my eyes.
