The unfortunate Blacklight was hit by several nuclear bombs as soon as it jumped out of the Warp.
If the Void Shield hadn't been constantly active, that ill-fated missile would have hit her ship directly, damaging and scratching her perfectly maintained deck.
Just like his own daughter being bullied at school, Kiavahr's attack successfully enraged everyone in Blackwatch.
Even the usually good-natured charlatan Yack emerged. This old man had lived on the Blacklight Blacklight almost 60 years and had long considered it his home.
"Fuck you, Holy Father! This is no ordinary heresy; we must strike hard! Issue the Exterminatus now!"
No wonder Er Gouzi is the most ruthless; he led his entire family to join the Blackwatch's Pointy-ears, leaving them with no way out.
But someone was one step ahead of him. Hogg, who already had a bad temper, couldn't bear to suffer such an injustice.
He shoved aside the bridge operator, activated the Exterminatus, and frantically pressed the red button.
Still not satisfied with killing Hogg, they ordered the Blacklight to unleash a Lance, setting the glass on fire at Kiavahr.
At this point, Hogg didn't care about the resources available; he just wanted these idiots to disappear from the world, since there was no cure for idiocy.
Looking at the exploded ground, the Blacklight went directly to the vicinity of Kiavahr's near-Earth orbit and began its orbital descent.
The hot-tempered Hogg led his offspring in an attack, eager to see what gave these Tech-priest such audacity.
Thanks to the earlier Orbital Bombardment that destroyed most of the anti-aircraft firepower, the Blackwatch's Drop Pod sliced through the toxic atmosphere and crashed smoothly onto the planet's surface.
Perhaps Blackwatch's swift firepower caught them off guard, and before these Tech-priest could retaliate, Hogg and his men stormed the largest foundry in the area.
Hogg, clad in Raider Power Armor, melted away the Skitarii were firing at him with a single plasma attack and then kicked open the metal door in front of him.
Once inside, without a second thought, the swarm of Cloaked Cockroaches unleashed a barrage of fire, using flying bombs and plasma Melta to wipe out everything that moved inside.
The Fabricator General had been integrated into the mechanical platform was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected these Space Marine to be so swift; he had barely finished making his threats before being driven back to his home base.
But Hogg didn't give him time to think; he grabbed his head and ripped it off.
"You bastard, who the hell gave you the guts to hit me? That's Gloriana-class Battleship, I just finished waxing it! You're asking for death."
Before the Fabricator General could even beg for mercy, the crimson Psionic Energy corroded its remaining flesh and blood. Unable to withstand the chaotic thoughts within, the living tissue mutated, transforming into several mindless tentacles that tore apart its metallic outer skin.
Having absorbed these tentacles, Hogg understood everything through the linked memories.
It turns out that these Tech-priest Forge World are not under the jurisdiction of the Mars Adeptus Mechanicus; they are a completely local, small organization.
Lacking any good technological creations, this local faction, known as the Tech Guild, can only take on basic small jobs, relying on building mining equipment to exchange for resources with other worlds.
The attack was ultimately caused by the installation of the Nila Terminal Machine.
Once the internet was connected to this remote area, Blackwatch's recruitment ads arrived, followed by announcements about the Primarch.
But unlike other factions, these crazy Tech-priest are no good. After discovering that Corvus Corax is the Primarch, their first thought was to kill the Primarch to silence him.
Of course, this action is within the normal range. If the Raven Lord, a miner of Lareus, were to return to the Imperium, he would not spare them first.
In order to protect themselves, the Tech Guild mobilized the guards on Laraeus to prepare to capture Corvus Corax alive and dispose of him secretly.
But the Primarch is always the Primarch. When Corvus Corax realized something was wrong, he led the miners on the planet in a rebellion. By fighting a guerrilla war, they managed to seize control of R'lyus.
Seeing that his misdeeds were about to be discovered, the Fabricator General launched a nuclear missile, intending to destroy all the evidence with an explosion.
If you ask why they didn't use more effective weapons, you can only say that this remote and impoverished area is too poor, and the only thing they have to offer is nuclear weapons.
Unfortunately, these newly launched nuclear missiles struck the Blacklight, which had just emerged from the Warp, directly, triggering a surprise attack and decapitation strike by Blackwatch.
Having learned the whole story, Hogg dropped the scrap metal in his hand, realizing that the Imperium's forces were indeed utterly inhuman when it came to being ruthless.
If those bastards had treated the miners even a little bit more humanely back then, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Now that they had conquered the planet, Hogg, adhering to the principle of making the most of everything, ordered Blackwatch to leave a portion of their forces behind to advance and see what valuable items they could plunder.
He himself led a group of people back to the Blacklight and headed towards Laraeus, who was standing nearby.
Perhaps due to the nuclear explosion, Hogg, upon stepping onto the surface of Rareus, discovered that the planet was deserted.
But if he were to go looking for it himself, the well-hidden Corvus Corax might take forever, so he chose to broadcast a message to lure out his little brother.
In front of his own offspring, Hogg, using the power of the C'tan, directly melted down scrap metal to create a signal transmission tower, giving it a good show.
The Blackwatch, seeing this, wisely offered their support, and Rick, mixed in with them, also pretended to be proud.
However, Rick, one of the larger men with a gilded e-cigarette in his mouth, had a dull look in his eyes, as if he were recalling some bad memories.
Rick, looking at the void creation Hogg, sighed, "Ah, if only we had met you back then!"
The distant, painful past caused these giant Rick to squat on the ground, immersed in memories from tens of millions of years ago, their Living Metal skins revealing expressions of regret.
But by this time, Hogg's signal tower had already been erected. He used the operating system on his Raider Power Armor to connect to the broadcast system and shouted:
" Corax, it's Hogg! Big brother, I've come to pick you up."
Perhaps due to radiation, the signal was not received by the rebels, but Hogg could wait that long.
Thinking of the local customs and the fact that some of the locals might be illiterate, Hogg took out the photograph he had collected and broadcast it over the radio tower.
While preparing a counterattack plan in the underground mine, Corvus Corax suddenly received a report from his subordinates: a Resistance Army rushed over with Dataslate.
"Sir, someone on the surface claims to be your brother, and they even have your photograph."
"Hmm? Let me see it."
Upon receiving the data file, Corvus Corax's vision went black. It contained the old ID photo he had sent out some time ago. Considering it was broadcast, he figured the entire planet had probably seen it.
The shameless Raven Lord closed the Dataslate and replied:
"You've mistaken me for someone else; the person in this picture isn't me."
