The aftermath of the Eye of Gork Rally stirred up a torrential waaagh craze across the entire space station.
The cheers at the finish line had yet to fade, and the name of the Fire Shadow Clan had already spread to every corner of Kal II.
Those Green Skin Boys who once only recognized the old clans now had nothing to say but "Sasuke" and "the Fire Shadow's speedy kid."
Even the graffiti on the walls changed from the Evil Sun Clan's blood-red round face logo, grinning maliciously and spewing solar flames in all directions, to the Fire Shadow Clan's cloud logo.
Relying on the unprecedented prestige brought by the Eye of Gork Champion, this newly risen clan that had only emerged a few months ago.
forcibly suppressed the vast majority of old clans on Kal II.
Evil Moon Clan merchants rushed to their door to curry favor, hoping to secure the Fire Shadow Clan's equipment supply rights.
Evil Sun Clan boys ran in groups to the Fire Shadow Clan's camp, wanting to compete with the Fire Shadow kids in speed.
Even the normally reclusive Snake Bite Clan sent word that they wanted to form an alliance.
The reason was simple: those few special Squigs that the Fire Shadow Clan unveiled at the Eye of Gork were too alluring to them.
But Lin En refused them, because these "classified technologies" absolutely could not be leaked on Kal II.
The only one that could steadily suppress the Fire Shadow Clan was the Death Skull Clan.
That clan, with Tech Boss Chandler holding the fort, was like a divine needle stabilizing the sea on Kal II, remaining seated at the Diaoyutai no matter how the outside world stirred.
This was also Lin En's only regret; for this Eye of Gork Rally, he had specially prepared a "big gift" for Chandler.
But from start to finish, Chandler never showed his face.
Even Giant Foot·Sis, stationed in the core area, used psychic power to watch the race.
At the moment Sasuke performed the gravity reversal, he even actively emitted a psychic signal to acknowledge this world-shocking maneuver.
But Chandler, the Big Boss universally recognized on Kal II, stubbornly shut himself away in his own workshop, not making a single sound.
Otherwise, if Lin En found out where the other's laboratory was, this plan could have ended ahead of schedule.
"What a pity." In the main control room, Lin En looked at the monitoring report in his hand.
"It doesn't matter; you eat a meal one bite at a time. The phased goal has already been achieved."
What he wanted was never just a rally championship.
The prestige brought by the championship was merely the door-knocking brick for his plan.
On the third day after the race ended, Lin En, along with Yaduoduo, carrying dozens of boxes full of Premium Big Teeth, visited the Green Skin headquarters on Kal II.
Relying on the fame accumulated from the Eye of Gork Champion, plus enough teeth to grease the way, the Fire Shadow Clan successfully replaced the Evil Sun Clan.
Taking command authority over all mobile and reconnaissance units on the front line of Kal II Space Station.
These two posts were originally exclusive key positions of the Evil Sun Clan.
After all, in the inherent cognition of all Green Skins, the Evil Sun Clan boys were the fastest runners among all Green Skins.
But now, all Green Skins on Kal II recognized one stubborn truth.
The Fire Shadow Clan, which won the Eye of Gork Championship, was the true tough character who played speed to the extreme.
More importantly, mobile units had a pitifully low presence on Kal II at present.
The human Imperial Fleet had been camping at the outer edge of the star system for nearly two months, with their joint defense formation laid out watertight.
The Evil Sun Clan's tactics of charging and harassing with small assault boats and space motorcycles couldn't even get close before the Imperial Fleet's Void Shields and Macro Cannons.
Every charge was just feeding heads; over time, even the Evil Sun Clan themselves couldn't be bothered to manage these two thankless posts.
The Fire Shadow Clan wanted to take over, and naturally no other clan had any objections.
After all, this position was very hard to achieve results in and posed no threat to the core interests of other clans.
But what they didn't know was that Lin En was precisely the BOSS of the outer human fleet.
The moment he obtained command authority, Lin En had Yaduoduo run all over Kal II's scrap workshops.
He hired, at great expense, Welded Dead Kazak, Kal II's second-ranked Tech Boss after Chandler.
He also poached over a hundred top-tier Tech Boss boys from various clans as assistants, to custom-build a batch of brand-new assault boats for the Fire Shadow Clan's mobile units.
Lin En's requirements were only two words: top-tier.
As for the budget? The limit was no limit.
This sentence directly drove Kazak and the other Tech Boss boys crazy.
The biggest dream of a Green Skin Tech Boss in this life was to freely tinker with "Wo Xun Si" technology.
Not caring about material costs, nor whether there were enough teeth, just build in the most waaagh direction.
In just half a month, the most luxurious space assault boats on Kal II were born in the Fire Shadow Clan's shipyard.
A full five hundred Fire Shadow Assault Boats, each one could be called the culmination of Green Skin technology on Kal II.
The hull used scrap metal that even the Death Skull Clan was unwilling to use, and the engine was the Evil Sun Clan's top-tier engine.
Its speed was in no way inferior to the Evil Sun Clan's exclusive assault boats.
The bow was welded full of Evil Moon Clan's specially made assault cannons and laser cannons.
Five hundred firing in unison could even briefly suppress the Imperial Fleet's escort ship group.
The ships were also piled full of Death Skull Clan's black technology.
Boarding torpedoes that could ignore Void Shields and directly project the boys into enemy ship cabins.
Ammunition and power relied entirely on the boys' "Wo Xun Si" Squeak Cannons.
There were also engines that produced deafening noise in space, disrupting enemy communications and fire control systems.
And most crucially, the hulls of all five hundred assault boats were painted with Kal II's top-tier purple paint.
The one truth the Fire Shadow Clan's grots now believed most firmly was this:
Purple grants invisibility!
These words came from the mouth of a Big Boss who had led them to a twelve-to-seven victory at the Eye of Gork Champion.
The grots believed it without doubt; every time they took their assault boats out on patrol, they felt they were the most hidden hunters in the entire star system.
Just like that, a Green Skin mobile troop that could be called the most luxurious and most terrifying in Kal II's history officially took shape.
But the other old clans regarded it with nothing but contempt and mockery.
"Just a nouveau riche who got lucky by stepping in dog shit, no different from those Evil Moon idiots with teeth for brains."
The Goff Clan's Big Guys puffed smoke rings and gave the middle finger toward the Fire Shadow Clan's shipyard direction.
"What's the use of fancy gear? Against shrimp? They can't even touch the edge of the Imperial Fleet, and when the time comes, won't it still be up to us?"
These words won the recognition of the vast majority of clans.
In their eyes, the Fire Shadow Clan was just a nouveau riche who got famous overnight from one competition.
No matter how much flashy gear they piled up, when it came time to actually fight shrimp, none of it would be of any use.
And the Fire Shadow Clan, who had just made a name for themselves thanks to the Eye of Gork Champion, indeed desperately needed a real hard fight to prove they weren't just a showpiece that only knew how to run in circles.
This hard fight came faster than anyone expected.
Just as the Fire Shadow Clan's grots had finished familiarizing themselves with the routes in the star system's Outer Areas.
On the third day of fully grasping their assault boats' performance, the Human Empire Fleet in the star system's Outer Areas suddenly launched an attack.
