Great Crusade is the main military operation of Imperium at this stage, and Emperor, which has assembled a large number of troops this time, is preparing for a small stud wave.

Relying on the logistics capabilities of Blackwatch, the goal of Imperium this time is to liberate the remaining Ultima Segmentum in order to connect with Segmentum Obscurus in the north and make the territory more complete.

Therefore, it is impossible for Coalition to dispatch as a group this time, but to push forward in a fan shape like a sweep, with Emperor, Ferrus, and Fulgrim as the forwards, and Hogg as a strategic force to provide support.

At the same time, the Death Guards who have been prepared have also joined this feast. The strength of the four legions is bound to crush all Xenoss, letting the glory of Imperiums shine in every corner.

The above are all the cakes Emperor painted for Primarch. Anyway, Hogg just smiled and said nothing. Anyway, he concentrated on selling goods.

You must know that this area is full of demons and monsters, and there are as many Xenos as there are meters. This does not include those remnants of the dark age who are unwilling to join Imperium.

If you include these guys, who knows if they can come up with a fleet comparable to Rangdan. In short, Hogg is not optimistic about this.

In order to avoid major casualties, the conscientious Blackwatchs shared their Flesh Reshaping Chambers so that the logistics pressure in the future would be reduced.

Nowadays, Blackwatch has to transport huge amounts of supplies to the front line every day. The running dwarfs are complaining constantly, wishing they could stuff the friendly troops who got high from the cannon into Macro-cannon.

The reason for this situation is that Emperor and other Primarch raided Blackwatch's warehouse, and the three people who had never fought for wealth directly held down Hogg and decided on the share of supplies in front of the owner.

That's why they, as the spearheads, can move so fast. As time goes by, these three fools have become separated from the rear, which makes the difficulty of transportation increase exponentially.

Sure enough, Hogg, who was lagging behind, encountered a tough opponent and had a fierce exchange of fire with a group of Xenos creatures that looked like large spiders.

This kind of Xenos named Cosmic Spider, despite their name, is not ordinary in strength. Like Hogg, they are engaged in biotechnology, and they also have biological behemoths whose individual combat power is comparable to Titan.

The one they were fighting against was the Blackwatch transport team that stayed behind. Unfortunately, the area assigned to Hogg was relatively remote. The nearest friendly forces were Ferrus's Iron Hands, but even this was calculated in light years.

What's even more unfortunate is that Blackwatch's large troops are all transporting goods, and there are less than 10,000 people left here, most of whom are precious civilian personnel.

Hogg, who was caught in a war, could only draw a tie even if they took out Zerg. Their numbers were too small and the entire galaxy was full of enemies. The chitin shell of this group of Xenos was thicker than that of Zerg, and their technological level was not low.

On the battlefield named Kossos III, Hogg transforms into a giant beast and is wrestling with a dozen Xenos Titan. Below are the black guards Space Marine who have integrated into Zerg. Their goal is to break into the weather control base station ahead.

As long as this Xenos weapon is still there, it is impossible to capture this important planet, and the heavy Void Shield above the base station also prevents the possibility of Orbital Bombardment.

The response from Ferrus, who stood firm for 50 minutes, came from the communication channel, which made Hogg curse.

"I told you to slow down but you didn't listen, and my rear was stolen. Are you blind? Xenos people in this galaxy can't see it."

"This is our mistake, but our troops have penetrated Ultima Segmentum. If you persist, I will be there soon."

"You faggot, come down and try to resist the line. My Swarm will die faster than it was built. Come over here and support me!"

"Ah, you damn bugs, I'm going to burn you to death and eat my atomic breath!"

A scarlet beam of light penetrated the dark sky, and several Xenos Titan were cut in half by the beam. Just when Hogg thought they could attack, more Titan behemoths joined the battlefield.

"Ferrus, if you don't come to support me, I will send your wedding photos to the entire Galaxy system."

Ferrus, who was hung up on the communication, felt that things were about to get worse. If he didn't hurry up after listening to Hogg's tone, all Galaxy would know about the embarrassment of his marriage to Ful.

For the sake of his own reputation and that of Fulgrim, Ferrus ordered the fleet to jump directly into Warp. They were about to make a dangerous routeless advance.

"Waaaagh, Blackwatch come up with me."

Before Xenos could make up for the gap, Hogg rushed forward with its sharp claws and hit the giant spider's legs hard. The four sharp claws pierced its limbs and used it as a shield to resist the cannon fire from the sky.

"Waaaagh!!! I am the invincible Hogg, you are asking for your own death!"

The taunting Hogg was caught on fire as expected. The weather control base station flashing with energy sparks began to operate, and a huge bolt of lightning struck from the clouds towards the shouting Hogg.

Seeing that Primarch was in trouble, the black guard warrior who transformed into Zerg spread out the bat wings on his back and pounced on the Xenos fighter jet flying in the sky. Dreadnought on the ground also pressed the muzzle trigger on the edge of overheating, covering the attack of his teammates.

The hot plasma accompanied by the explosive bomb shattered the limbs of Xenos, and then the shell of Dreadnought was melted by an acid cannon. Fortunately, the cockpit that escaped early flew away from the explosion range.

Ace, who had escaped, called his Warrior Bug. As Power Armor made a cast off sound, Ace, who had escaped from the armor, was grabbed by Warrior Bug and pressed into his chest.

After a brief loss of vision, Ace merged into Warrior Bug's body. The huge increase brought by the insect body made him roar, and the surging scarlet Psionic Energy attached to the tearing gun and ejected highly poisonous bone spurs.

On the battlefield at this time, more and more Space Marine removed their armor and transformed into Zerg. Looking at more and more fusion signals from Psychic Network, Hogg, who was electro-scorched, understood that Blackwatch had used all means.

Perhaps the threat just now was effective. Ferrus who came to support arrived less than 30 minutes later. Looking at the battlefield where the two groups of Xenos were fighting, a Iron Hands company commander looked at his own Primarch.

"Father, are there friendly forces over there?"

Thanks to Hogg who showed off his Swarm in advance, otherwise Ferrus would have been covered by firepower if he saw two groups of Xenos that were indistinguishable from each other.

"The pink ones are friendly troops, kill all those without pink fur."

After hearing Primarch's order, the Space Marines of Iron Hands began to rush into the battlefield. Iron Hands, who had been transformed by all their members, had extremely strong instantaneous burst capabilities and slowly turned the situation around with their insane heavy firepower.

And Hogg, who had dragged down half of Xenos Titan, could finally take a breather. Now he was waiting for them to support him after clearing the minions. Hogg had never fought such a frustrating battle.

As the weather weapon base station was blown up by Iron Hands, Blackwatch, who had been suppressed, was finally able to support his father.

Three hours later, the last Xenos Titan died under Hogg's Rending Claw. This sudden battle finally ended.

But this can't dispel Hogg's anger. If it weren't for the three of them stretching the front too long, they wouldn't have to fight such an unequal war. Blackwatch's high maneuverability and group charge would not be able to be used at all.

But before Hogg could get angry, Ferrus suppressed Hogg with just one word.

"Hogg, father has found a new brother!"
