Protagonist:

Lin En

Lena

On the other end, Lin En also received the intelligence Lena sent.

"Green Skin Spirit Energy User?" He repeated the word, his brow wrinkling.

Usually speaking, Green Skins although have that heaven-defying idealistic power called Wo Xun Si.

But they are still more inclined toward strength on physical rules; they have resistance to spirit energy, but generally cannot use spirit energy themselves.

Except for this group of extremely rare spirit energy Grots.

Going on like this, it can be said that Kal II's Green Skins lack nothing.

Once Kal II completely evolves into a Combat Moon, then Brevis will really be in trouble.

"Likate can't get in." Lena continued.

"Their spirit energy perception is too weak; Imgaer won't work either. They can fool physical detection methods, but they can't fool spirit energy."

"Once those spirit energy Grots scan them, they'll be exposed."

Lin En nodded, realizing things were somewhat troublesome.

Although the Bug Race is also good at using spirit energy, in the face of Kal II's situation, it's not very useful.

Likate and Imgaer are both excellent assassins, and have ways to shield spirit energy perception.

But Lena also mentioned that the other side has a powerful existence whose spirit strength is not inferior to her own.

Even if shielding through the Bug Swarm Shadow, it's impossible to completely hide from the other side's eyes.

"Let them withdraw first." Lin En said, "Forcing a breakthrough is useless."

Lena nodded.

"Then what do we do?"

Lin En thought for a moment, and an excellent idea formed in his mind.

Lena sensed the flash of inspiration in Lin En's mind, and she curiously asked Lin En if he had thought of a method.

"Yes, but this method requires time cost." Lin En nodded.

"What is it?" Lena was somewhat impatient.

"You think, to achieve perfect disguise among the Green Skin pile, what's the best method?"

Lin En didn't answer immediately, but instead sold a mystery.

"Research a disguise unit without a shred of emotional fluctuation?"

"That is indeed a good method, but it's too hard to achieve." Lin En knew giving Lena some time, she should be able to do it.

But that way, time is uncontrollable, with too many unstable factors.

"The best disguise method is to truly become a Green Skin." Lin En revealed the answer.

Tearing Worm scratched its head, Lena couldn't understand.

But Lin En stroked Tearing Worm's head, just smiling.

"Just follow my method."

Deep in Kal II Core Area, a huge figure sat on a throne piled up from debris.

Iron Pliers Chandler closed its eyes, as if sleeping.

But in the air around it, green spirit energy fluctuations permeated.

Beside it stood a Green Skin slightly smaller in size; its appearance was somewhat like a human ancient shaman.

Its head was bigger than Chandler's, its whole body wrapped in green lightning.

Kal II Space Station's Green Skin Second-in-Command, Spirit Energy Head, Giant Foot·Sis.

"Big Boss," Sis spoke, his voice ethereal, "those insects ran away."

Chandler opened its eyes; its eyeballs had no pupils, just a piece of murky gray.

"Ran away?"

"But those shrimps basically all died."

Chandler was silent for a while, then answered.

"Basically?"

"Yes, a few shrimps had the aura of Warp evil things on them; they could dodge the investigation of my underlings."

The huge iron pliers swung down, smashing the just-repaired debris throne to pieces.

"A bunch of trash!"

"How did you guarantee to me, Sis?"

"Wasn't it said, not even a fly could get out of the Core Area?"

Sis lowered his head: "Rest assured Big Boss, they saw nothing; next time they dare come, I'll personally strike and catch them!"

With Sis's guarantee, Chandler didn't continue to flare up, turned and walked toward the door outside.

After Chandler left, Sis raised his head to look at the direction it left, his expression sinister.

Three days had passed since both parties last entered the Core Area for investigation.

Luna stood on the Precept Ruler's Bridge, worry on her brow that couldn't be dispelled.

Three days.

For three days she had tried every method, sending more infiltrators, better equipped ones.

Chaos Believers with stronger psychic power, even personally using arts to try to bypass those psychic brats' perception.

But every time ended in failure.

Those psychic brats were like cameras with 360° no dead angle coverage; any creature entering the core area would be discovered immediately.

Her infiltrators had already lost more than two regiments.

And that damn War Boss still hid deep in the core area, not even showing a shadow.

"Adult Luna," the Deputy Officer stepped forward cautiously.

"How about we withdraw first to rest and regroup?"

Luna looked at him coldly.

The Deputy Officer immediately shut his mouth.

Just then, the communication device rang.

"Adult! Emergency news!" the Communications Officer's voice carried a trace of trembling.

"On Brevis's side, the Governor's Expedition Fleet has set sail!"

"What!" Luna's pupils suddenly contracted.

Brevis, Spaceport.

Peak Black Radiance hovered quietly outside the port, its massive hull reflecting cold metallic gloss under the lights.

This was that one Gothic-class Strike Cruiser, over five kilometers in length, with a slender hull.

Its broadside was arrayed with dense Light Spear Arrays, all super-large caliber models, able to easily inflict a fatal blow on enemy ships in medium-to-close range naval warfare.

Its bow was equipped with torpedo launchers, and its stern had four groups of huge propulsion engines.

Unlike Luna's Tyrant-class and Moon-class, the Gothic-class was more suited to medium-to-close range entanglement.

Its armor was thicker, its turning more agile, its firepower denser.

In close-range combat, it could burst out more terrifying killing power than Tyrant-class and Moon-class cruisers.

But it also had drawbacks: low efficiency against shields, insufficient long-range firepower, and high maintenance difficulty.

So Lin En equipped it with thirty escort ships, mainly Fire Storm-class and Cobra Destroyers.

Fast speed, fierce firepower, suited for close-range entanglement and with good processing speed against ship shields.

He did not choose to patch weaknesses, but instead brought his strengths to the extreme.

There were also twenty transport supply ships, and one Mobile Shipyard.

Overall, long-range firepower and restoration capability were inferior to Luna Fleet.

But in close-range entanglement and encounter battles, Lin En's fleet would be stronger and more agile.

Lin En stood on the Bridge, looking toward Brevis's direction through the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

That gray-white planet was slowly rotating at this moment.

He could see the outline of the Main Hive, the silhouette of the Forbidden Wall, and the places where he had fought.

"Adult," the Captain walked over.

"All systems checked, the fleet is fully prepared. Ready to set sail at any time."

Lin En nodded.

He turned, looking at everyone on the Bridge, those elites selected from the Vanguard Army.

Or loyal warriors infected by Genestealers, people willing to follow him anywhere.

"Set sail," he said, his voice firm and powerful.

"Target, retake Kal II!"

"May the Immortal Emperor Bless!"

"May the Immortal Emperor Bless!" echoed neatly on the Bridge.

Peak Black Radiance's engines began preheating.

The thruster flames gradually changed from red to dazzling blue-white, and the whole warship began to move.

It departed the Spaceport, heading toward the starry sky.

Behind it, thirty escort ships and twenty transport ships formed neat ranks, like a pack of loyal wild wolves following their alpha wolf.

Below them, at Brevis's Main Hive, countless crowds stood at the place nearest to the Spaceport that they could reach.

They raised their heads, watching that firelight growing ever farther.

Some held aloft the Emperor's holy icon, waving Brevis's flag, or knelt on the ground silently praying.

In their eyes, Lin En's fleet was the genuine Expedition Fleet that could represent Brevis.

He gave them food to eat, led them to defeat strong enemies.

Not that Regent Luna who relied on the Machine Cult's backing and hadn't even been heard of.

"Emperor bless!" someone shouted.

"Emperor bless the Expedition Fleet!" more people followed in shouting.

That sound converged into a flood, powerfully transmitted toward that fleet sailing ever farther away.

Lin En stood on the Bridge, listening to those voices coming through the communication channel, silent for a long time.

His mouth corner curved into an arc.
