Chapter 521: There Was No Turning Back
Hogg's heart sank when he heard he was going to be taken away and used as a little toy again. But he quickly realized that he was only a torso, so what happened to his head had nothing to do with him. Once he got back, he could even make fun of his head a little. His mood immediately improved.
Hogg thought this way of looking at things was perfectly normal, but to everyone else, it was downright abnormal. Dorn was still struggling to understand the connection between head and torso, but he didn't dare try anything, afraid that if he ended up empty-headed, he'd never see his beloved Pepe again.
Ross's arrival gave Angel Hogg a much-needed boost. No matter how things developed, the Lemon Fists still weren't their own children. Aside from the Doll Legion, their own boys were always the ones they could trust.
And now that Ross had been summoned by Hogg, it meant that colonizing the Sub-dimensional Portal had become a real possibility. They could bring their legions over and launch a massive counterattack.
As for the spoils from the counterattack, naturally, Hogg would be keeping them. After all, they were reinforcements summoned by Witchcraft Bacon. He'd already done more than enough by giving them a hand. They didn't expect to get a free ride, did they?

When it came to hiring mercenaries who would consume resources, Guilliman, Dorn, and Omegon huddled together and decided to go for it. After all, nothing was set in stone
