I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

The cunning displayed by the Space Beasts did not hinder the enemy's advance.

Personnel shuttles frequently traveled between the surface and near-Earth orbit, transporting large numbers of armed crewmen and heavy weaponry to the ground.

Dozens of 'Shrimp' pushed three heavy weapon platforms into the underground tunnels, the platforms equipped with modified meltaguns.

Torrents of searing heat erupted, rapidly melting the steel walls blocking the passages.

When the heat stream came into contact with explosives within the walls, a deafening explosion erupted.

The violent blast of air, laced with superheated gases, engulfed the Shrimp and the heavy weapon platforms.

The scalding heat washed over the fuel tanks of the meltaguns, triggering even more intense explosions.

After a series of explosions, the Shrimp in the underground tunnels suffered heavy casualties, with three heavy weapon platforms and hundreds of Shrimp buried there forever.

"Too weak, the higher consciousness controlling these Shrimp is too weak. He's acting like a newbie who's never commanded a large-scale team battle. Is this his true performance, or some kind of disguise?"

Li Nuo rested his arms on the table, his eyes revealing vigilance rather than disdain.

Despite verbally dismissing his opponent as weak, Li Nuo felt no sense of relaxation.

Tzeentch, known as the Changer of Ways, excels at achieving his goals through change.

The weakness displayed by the Bone Drinkers under his command might just be a facade, intended to conceal their true intentions.

"Boss, how about we break out through the secret passage? I think these Shrimp are too slow, I can't stand their pace anymore."

Beast cracked his knuckles, eager to try.

Beast's words made Li Nuo's eyes light up.

He knew what the enemy was planning.

Admittedly, after drastically improving the Space Beasts' genes through genetic editing, the Orks of the Space Beast clan had transformed from war machines driven by combat lust into a new generation of Orks capable of accurately executing orders.

However, certain traits buried within their genetic code were difficult to alter.

For example, belligerence.

Another example, the rapid recovery of energy leading to excessive energy.

A warlike nature made Orks brave and aggressive, readily responding to sudden high-intensity combat.

Excessive energy allowed Orks to maintain a high level of combat enthusiasm for extended periods.

These two traits could be changed through genetic editing, making Orks less warlike and less energetic.

The resulting change was that Orks became more obedient but also weaker.

To ensure the combat effectiveness of the Space Beast clan, Li Nuo did not tamper with the Orks' warlike nature and energetic traits.

He strengthened the "obey orders" trait to make the Orks of the Space Beast clan more obedient.

In other words, when the prelude to a battle was too long, and the Orks couldn't engage the enemy directly, unrest would rapidly breed within the Ork ranks, eventually causing the Space Beast clan to lose control.

That was the enemy's intention.

They didn't need to advance quickly; they only needed to wait for the Orks underground to fall into disarray.

Li Nuo glanced at Beast beside him.

The lad was already showing signs of impatience, which indicated the situation within the various companies.

Perhaps, in some caves, unrest had already begun, but because the communication channels were kept silent, he hadn't noticed it.

Li Nuo took a slight breath and decided to execute the backup plan:

"Beast, pass down the order to have the Grots bring the Breeding Engine to the surface. All companies enter pre-battle readiness. After the Breeding Engine reaches the surface, each company will fight according to the Ork Horde Assault plan."

"Yes, Boss!" Beast instantly perked up at the prospect of battle, pulled out his Noisy Boy, and shouted:

"Calling Grot Cave, calling Grot Cave, the Boss wants you to get that machine to the surface, and make it snappy! Everyone else listen up, the Boss said that when the machine gets to the surface, we're going to war with the Shrimp outside! The battle order is 'Ork Horde Assault'! Did you hear that, it's 'Ork Horde Assault'!"

"Alright, I've been waiting for this!"

"Received, received, my big gun has been itching for action!"

"It's time to give those Shrimp outside a taste of our might!"

The Ork company commanders of the First to Tenth Companies yelled and screamed, clearly driven mad by the protracted prelude.

Li Nuo nodded inwardly, relieved to have averted an internal conflict.

On the holographic image, the Grots and Slavemasters of Grot Cave were all mobilized.

The Breeding Engine was being pulled onto the upgrade platform of the shaft, the top exit of the shaft disguised as rocks and turf.

On the ground near the shaft, a large group of Grots heaved and hoed, dragging ropes.

The upgrade platform rose steadily under the action of the ropes and gears.

Another group of Grots worked together to drag a second rope, opening the top exit of the shaft.

"Rumbling --" A low vibration sound came from underground, attracting the Shrimp's attention.

The Shrimp swarmed towards the shaft exit, seeing from afar a metal machine over twenty meters high rising from the ground.

The Shrimp's facial expressions simultaneously became excited and agitated, yet revealing a hint of apprehension, fearing that this was an Ork trap.

Congratulations, you guessed right, this is an Ork trap.

Li Nuo had always been wary of missile bombardments from near-Earth orbit.

But with the Breeding Engine in place, those eleven ships wouldn't dare to launch missile bombardments easily.

This brought the difference in air superiority between the two sides to the same level.

As thousands of Shrimp swarmed toward the Breeding Engine, wave after wave of Orks poured out of the secret passages, engaging the Shrimp in close-quarters combat.

"Kill! We are the Ork Horde! We are the Space Beasts! Kill these Shrimp!"

"We are the masters of this planet! Kill all the Shrimp!"

The entire First to Tenth Companies charged out, the Ork company commanders shouting slogans as they charged at the enemy.

The number of Shrimp on the scene did not exceed ten thousand, far from being a match for the Green Tide.

Ten Ork companies charged like a stampeding herd, tearing the Shrimp's ranks and bodies to pieces.

The Ork Horde Assault meant charging and killing. After completing a magnificent charge, each Ork company returned to its respective cave under the command of its commander.

The Breeding Engine stood on the ground, surrounded by corpses and bloodstains.

A gust of wind blew, and pieces of torn clothing hung on the gun barrels, fluttering and rustling. A deadly atmosphere quickly permeated, and the sky and the ground were silent.

Li Nuo knew that the Shrimp were after the Breeding Engine. He had already put this card on the table, and now it was up to the other side to respond.

A shuttle came from near-Earth orbit and landed on the ground near the Breeding Engine.

In addition to the pilot, there was only one passenger in the shuttle.

This person wore a dark uniform, carried no weapons, had fair skin, and his expression was more vivid than the previous Shrimp.

He looked around, smelled the strong smell of blood, and his eyes swept over the limbs on the ground. He shouted in Low Gothic:

"You are the Space Beast clan, right? Your clan leader is Space. I find the speed at which your clan reproduces incomprehensible. I have never seen such insidious and cunning Orks as you."

The Shrimp raised his hand and pointed to the machine, staring at a surveillance camera hidden in the grass:

"Space, I know you can see the situation on the ground. I don't care what the origin of your Space Beast clan is, all I want is this machine. You must know this too, otherwise you wouldn't have put this machine on the ground to stop me from launching missiles. How about we make a deal? I'll take the machine, and this planet belongs to you, and we'll leave each other alone from now on."

The Shrimp who spoke seemed to be an ordinary armed crewman, but he exuded the aura of a superior.

Clearly, his every move came from the higher consciousness that controlled the Bone Drinkers.

It was the higher consciousness that manipulated him to come to the ground and start negotiations with the Space Beast clan.

The current situation was anxious for both sides.

Due to the urgency of time, the Space Beast clan had not been able to build large-scale aircraft to raid near-Earth orbit, so they could do nothing about the ships in near-Earth orbit.

The eleven ships were all designed and built according to the space environment, unable to enter the atmosphere or land on the ground.

The fleet probably had no less than eighty thousand armed crewmen, but they could only come to the ground in small batches via shuttle.

Both sides were helpless due to the huge altitude difference between the surface and near-Earth orbit.

This battle was very likely to turn into a long war of attrition.

The higher consciousness behind the Shrimp only wanted a quick victory, so he took the initiative to show up and propose negotiations.

This was exactly what Li Nuo wanted.

Under his instructions, an Ork boy holding a Noisy Boy arrived on the ground and stood ten meters away from the Shrimp.

Li Nuo shouted in Low Gothic from a distance:

"I'll give you three hours to transport all the Shrimp on the ships to the ground via shuttle and turn off the void shields of those six escort ships. You can pick one ship to take this machine and leave, and the remaining ten will be mine."

The Shrimp's face immediately turned ashen:

"You're dreaming! You are truly the most greedy and shameless Orks I have ever seen."

"Heh heh, look at this." Li Nuo chuckled and used Ork slang to instruct the Ork boy to open the machine's outer shell.

The internal structure of the Breeding Engine was exposed, with a countdown timer with a flashing red dot placed inside, showing that it would explode in 3 hours and 32 minutes.

The Shrimp's features were almost distorted, feeling that he was facing not simple-minded, well-developed Orks, but a cunning and calculating monster.

At that moment, he felt that the person speaking on the other side was the true believer of the Lord!

What kind of Ork would use the enemy's weakness to blackmail the enemy!

Aren't they only supposed to chop, chop, chop and shoot, shoot, shoot?!

"See that? The bomb will explode in 3 hours and 32 minutes. If you're quick enough, you have 32 minutes to disarm this bomb. Think it through yourself."

Shrimp cursed loudly:

"Damn it, where did you Ork freaks come from?!"

"Watch your language." Li Nuo moved his finger, and the bomb countdown decreased by 10 minutes, "You only have 3 hours and 22 minutes left."

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Shrimp stared blankly at the countdown decreasing by 10 minutes at once, and cursed anxiously.

He had never felt so humiliated.

Since becoming a servant of the Lord, he had always trampled everyone he encountered under his feet, even the Sector Governor was no exception.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

But at this moment, he was actually suffering in the hands of a small Ork clan leader!

It was hard to imagine how this clan leader's brain was structured, that he could make so many arrangements in advance, causing this believer of the Lord of Change to constantly fall into a passive situation.

Shrimp's chest heaved violently, and the sound of his heavy breathing lingered on the surface.

He forced himself to calm down, closed his eyes, and prayed to his Lord for help.

He needed guidance, he needed the Lord to tell him how to break the situation.

Handing over ten ships in exchange for the breeding machine was not impossible, but it was difficult for him to swallow this breath.

Shrimp silently recited the words of prayer, praying for the Lord's response.

"I saw a weird thing in the Warp." Pointing at the amniotic fluid tank on the picture, the Psyker Boy suddenly said:

"I don't think that's a good thing. I don't want to see it. Boss, can I close my eyes?"

The Shrimp on the ground was a believer of the Blue-Haired Bird, and he was praying to his faith for help.

Normally speaking, the Blue-Haired Bird would not personally respond to mortal believers, it should be a Daemon under the Blue-Haired Bird that came.

The Warp observation image provided by Pointy was a chaotic painting that was constantly changing.

Various color blocks twisted and floated within it, like an overturned palette, and it was a dynamic one.

Now, the blue color blocks began to dominate the Warp observation image.

This meant that a huge will had appeared, so that the chaotic Warp energy tended to stabilize due to His appearance.

Li Nuo told the Psyker Boy to stop observing the Warp.

The Warp imaging on Pointy disappeared, and the Psyker Boy in the can let out a long breath, and a string of bubbles emerged.

From Shrimp's perspective, a blue bird cast its gaze from another dimension towards him.

Shrimp was seen through and penetrated by this gaze, every level inside and outside his body was窥见 by the other party, even the direction and end point of his own destiny had been mastered by this being appointed by the Lord.

As a humble believer, Shrimp could not meet the Lord's main body. The one who guided him on weekdays was this Daemon of Tzeentch, the Shimmering Lord of Change, who claimed to be the Phantom Weaver · Zerphix.

"My Lord's prophet, I encountered a group of strange Orks, their treachery and cunning made me puzzled…"

Shrimp narrated what had happened earlier in detail.

Zerphix's figure was as illusory and unpredictable as a phantom, and it was also like a flowing and changing blue-purple shadow.

It raised its scythe-like claws and made a "shut up" gesture to Shrimp, and replied in a gloomy and sharp tone:

"Poor idiot, you asked a stupid question, this is purely wasting my time. Agree to all the Ork's requests and take the breeding machine back as soon as possible. From your description, the Orks here reproduce at an alarming rate, which means they need more meat. They will never let go of delicious Shrimp. Wouldn't it be good for you to infect these treacherous and cunning Greenskins? At the moment of completing the infection, what secrets can you not窥探."

Shrimp suddenly understood and knelt down to the existence in front of him again and again:

"Praise your wisdom…"

"Shut up, don't waste time on such boring trivia. The Cursed (Note 2) lacks a crucial offspring, no one can stop you from spreading my Lord's power, don't let my Lord down."

Zerphix's figure disappeared, and the sharp tone lingered.

Shrimp slowly recovered, opened his eyes in front of the Ork Boy, and a faint contempt flowed in his eyes:

"I agree to your request, greedy Ork. I only want one armed freighter, and the rest is yours. I hope so many ships and people won't stuff you to death."

The bomb countdown decreased by another 10 minutes.

Li Nuo's voice came from the noisy box:

"Last warning, there is no next time."

Shrimp's expression froze, and he forcibly held back the swear words that were about to blurt out.

More than a dozen shuttles appeared in the sky, and groups of Shrimp were transported to the ground.

Two and a half hours later, ten of the eleven ships were taken over by the Mek Boy and Ork soldiers, and all the Shrimp on these ten ships were driven to the ground.

The higher consciousness controlling Shrimp did not want to be captured without a fight.

He ordered the Shrimp on the ground to be fully armed and deployed, obviously wanting to use these people to create some trouble for the Orks.

The breeding machine was loaded into a barge, and several shuttles towed the barge to take off, loading the breeding machine into an armed freighter.

The higher consciousness controlling Shrimp blocked the shield and turret permissions of the remaining ships, and also limited the maximum cruising speed to less than 200 kilometers per hour.

The Orks don't want to lift these restrictions in an hour.

The higher consciousness controlled the freighter to leave the planet at the fastest speed.

Just when he thought the Orks would try to drive the ship to catch up with him, a scene that stunned him appeared.

The shuttles drove out of the ten ships, fully loaded with Orks and flew to the ground. Half a minute later, the plasma reactor of the ship was detonated by a time bomb.

Ten bright blue fireballs engulfed the ship, and the ship fragments splashed in all directions, turning into a meteor shower entwined with flames and falling to the ground.

"What does this mean? What are these Orks doing? Don't they need my ship?!"

The higher consciousness looked at the big explosion on the near-earth orbit with a dumbfounded expression through the perspective of the Shrimp captain.

On the other side, a fierce battle broke out on the ground.

More than 100,000 fully armed Shrimp launched a big melee with 30,000 Orks, and there were also a very few figures of primitives.

The number of Greenskin Dudes was not dominant, but Li Nuo had prepared a lot of heavy firepower weapons in advance.

On the battlefield, laser beams, bullets, and shells crisscrossed, and the fire of explosions rose and fell one after another.

The Ork squads escorted ten-meter-high war machines to the ground. They were ferocious steel monsters, commonly known as Kill! Maim! Burn! Big! Iron! Can!

Scrap metal and gears constituted their heavy bodies. Every step could crack the ground. All four mechanical arms were equipped with heavy twin-linked lumber guns. The whistling barrage was like the death knell, ringing loudly on the heads of the enemies.

"Da da da da da da — — — — — —"

Swarms of Shrimp were harvested by the Kill! Maim! Burn! Big! Iron! Can!, but this was just the beginning.

Ten Boomdakka Snazzwagons rushed to the ground in the roaring sound waves of the engine.

The tracks crushed the soil and rocks, and the gun barrels slowly raised. With a roar-like roar, 800mm heavy shells roared out.

These shells were filled with cationic explosives. With one shot, the golden light flashed, and both the flesh and clothes were refined by the high temperature in an instant.

What if there were more Shrimp? The Greenskin Dudes had war machines.

After the threat of no air-to-ground strikes, the Space Wolves Clan was undoubtedly invincible on land.

The higher consciousness controlling Shrimp did not care about the outcome of the battle.

He stared closely at the battlefield, hoping to see the scene of the Orks devouring the bodies of Shrimp in battle.

But the scene that stunned him appeared again.

The Orks restrained the urge to eat Shrimp, and instead used flamethrowers to burn the corpses on the spot, and gave each Shrimp that had not died thoroughly a supplementary shot.

"Impossible! This is impossible! How can Orks not eat humans?!"

The terrifying discipline made the higher consciousness feel a chill.

In his astonished gaze, the Orks, like professional exterminators, carefully checked the battlefield several times to ensure that no Shrimp and parasitic spores could escape the baptism of fire.

As the last Shrimp staying on the ground died, the higher consciousness lost the way to observe the surface.

He slumped on the captain's chair and swallowed hard.

He really wanted to tell the Lord's prophet what had just happened, but he was worried that his continuous prayers would anger the other party.

In the end, the higher consciousness could only comfort himself like this.

"This must be an accident. The Space Wolves Clan is just an individual case among the Orks. The planet they are on is located on the edge of the galaxy. They cannot interfere with my Lord's plan, absolutely impossible. Yes, that's it."

The higher consciousness ordered to start the Warp engine and the Geller field, and took the breeding machine that had been disarmed into the Warp.
