But Shan Pang Guga was very depressed now.

"Why did we retreat?!" Guga slapped a Grot beside him with one claw, sending the fellow spinning three times on the spot.

"I said charge! Keep charging! Charge right under the wall! Why are you running back?!"

The Grot clutched his head, aggrieved: "The Shrimp's big guns are too many! Boom boom boom! We broke before we even got close!"

"Then build more big guns!" Guga roared, "Tech Boss! Tech Boss where did you go?!"

A Tech Boss covered head to toe in tools, wearing a Welder Mask on his head, ran over:

"Big Boss! We're building! But there's not enough good iron! The Shrimps hid all the good iron behind the wall!"

Guga grabbed a handful of Stew Pot and stuffed it into his mouth, crunching loudly.

Others thought it was stupid, but actually he wasn't stupid at all.

It knew those Shrimps had suddenly become fierce, their big guns were big and cruel, their iron toys were big and hard.

Charging straight in was suicide; its Grots might not fear death, but if too many died there'd be no Grots left to fight.

So it was waiting, waiting for more Grots to grow out of the ground.

Recently the mushrooms around the Camp grew especially well, hundreds of thousands of new Grots sprouting every day.

It also had to wait for the Tech Bosses to build more powerful "Big Things."

It had already ordered that all scrap metal be supplied first to the Tech Bosses, and anyone who hid any would be chopped.

Wait until there were more Grots than the Shrimps could kill, and more Big Things than could smash that wall.

Then it would personally lead the charge, chop off all the Shrimps' heads, and hang them on its own totem pole.

Thinking of this, a grin of forest-white teeth spread across its face full of Green Skin Flesh.

Then it could become the most Waaagh Big Boss on this Planet.

Maybe it could even go back and find that fat ugly Lianggenna and have a fight, chop it too.

Prove it was the most Waaagh, strongest Beastman!

Thinking of this, Guga became happy again, grabbing a handful of freshly cooked Stew Pot and stuffing it into its mouth.

It didn't notice that on the rafter of a Wu Bao fifty meters above its head, a Likate was lying quietly.

Its color-changing Carapace let it blend into the metal rafter, its body systems entering minimum power mode, even its body temperature adjusted to match the cold Environment around it.

Its three pairs of compound eyes locked onto below at different focal lengths.

Guga, Big Pot, the Tech Boss Grots around it, and several War Mechas being assembled not far away.

All information was transmitted in real time through the Consciousness Network.

On the other side of the Forbidden Wall, the United Army Temporary Command Post.

Lin En closed his eyes, leaning back in a Chair.

Inside his sleeve, a Tearing Worm extended a transparent Tentacle, its tip gently piercing into the skin of his Wrist.

No pain, only a cold connection feeling and a trace of pleasure.

Lin En couldn't help but let out a soft moan.

Then Likate's field of vision unfolded in his mind.

He could even directly "feel" everything Likate perceived.

The chaotic noise of the Camp, the savage crudeness of the Ork Boyz, the Stew Pot boiling in the pot, the sparks flying when the Tech Boss Grot struck metal...

And Shan Pang Guga.

Lin En looked at that ball of meat; Lin En, who had seen photos, knew it wasn't Big Stomach Liang Ge Na.

This fellow seemed to be thinking about something, his whole body exuding a stupid cunning.

Lin En's gaze swept over the Camp, from the new Grots growing out of the ground, to the Evil Sun Clan Grots fighting each other over the newly assembled war vehicle.

A larger-caliber Barrel that the Tech Boss Grots were tinkering with.

After watching for a while, he broke the connection and opened his eyes.

Lena sent a prompt: "The gift she carefully prepared for the Green Skin is done."

Lin En spoiledly praised Lena, and made up his mind.

The gift arrived a week later.

Vanguard Army Third Legion, three million soldiers, bringing the last batch of qualified Combat Power to the Forbidden Wall.

The Vanguard Army troops still at the Main Hive, except for the Instructors responsible for training Recruits, were basically Militia or Private Army with low Combat Power.

Traveling with them was also a sealed Transport Vehicle, located at the very center of the column, indicating it was transporting some important Item.

Leading them was a PDF Shao Jiang, and the first thing he did upon seeing Lin En was hand over a Data Slate:

"Governor Sir, the thing you wanted; the Research Institute says, this is 'Pei Tong Yi Hao', still in the testing phase, but has passed basic verification."

Lin En took the Data Slate and quickly skimmed it.

Pei Ice Cold Pain Bing Du, based on abandoned cases and data from early Machine Cult research into Green Skin Spores, developed by the Brevis Xenobiology Institute.

After becoming Vanguard Commander, Lin En immediately established the "Brevis Xenobiology Institute" in Upper City.

Most of the members inside were Genestealers, or researchers infected by Genestealers.

Besides finding opportunities to provide Biomass for Lena, the Institute, with Lena No. 2 as the main body, researched biochemical weapons targeting the Green Skin nonstop.

Finally, seven days ago, the institute lived up to expectations and developed the "Pei Ice Cold Pain Virus."

Spread through contact, its duration lasts between 3 and 12 hours depending on individual differences; it is not lethal but can significantly weaken the infected's combat power.

"Well done." He returned the data slate to the Major General.

"Send the transport vehicle to the C Qu Cang Ku, guard it strictly, and without my order, no one is allowed to approach."

"Yes."

After the PDF Shao Jiang left, Lin En looked out the window; the Inner Wall had also been completed.

Called a "wall," it was actually more like a raised firepower platform.

It was built behind the gap in C8 Qu, surrounding the gap, five meters high, with a top width sufficient to deploy the Leviathan Rustan Tank.

The wall was constructed from quick-setting cement and Yu Zai He Jin Ban; its strength could not compare to the Forbidden Wall, but was enough to withstand the Green Skin's regular impacts.

Most importantly, a solid "Kou Dai" was formed between the Inner Wall and the Forbidden Wall.

Now, only the final step remained: find a way to get the Green Skin's Big Boss to "enter the urn."

But before that, he still needed to resolve a small trouble.

Lin En first summoned Lei Ou to discuss the details of the plan, and then talked about Knight Mechas.

"In this plan, both Holy Knights play a crucial role."

"Especially Holy Knight Quinn Sheng Jia Lu Si, whose mecha is equipped with a heavy thermal cannon, suitable for area suppression."

Mentioning Quinn, Lei Ou's expression changed somewhat.

That Holy Knight who came with the Vanguard Army had hardly participated in any battles during this period.

He always stayed in the rear under the pretext that "the mecha needs maintenance" or "the system needs debugging," and when he occasionally appeared, he wore that arrogant look.

"He might not cooperate," Lei Ou said tactfully.

"He will cooperate," Lin En said in a flat tone, "I will go talk to him."
