Blood Axe Big Guy was somewhat puzzled.

He had originally thought the Fire Shadow Clan had come to exterminate them completely.

After all, it was their own clan that struck first, attacking the Fire Shadow Clan's supply point.

But he never dreamed Lin En would not only not kick them while they were down, but actually want to help them.

And the terms offered were so generous.

Retaking their territory, restoring their strength, revenge, and even a share of the waaaghGP profits—these were things they didn't even dare dream of now.

They were already at their wit's end, either to be slowly nibbled away and wiped out by other clans; now they had only one bet left, hitching themselves to Sith and the Fire Shadow Clan's chariot.

Moreover, the Blood Axe Clan was by nature profit-driven; as long as there was enough benefit.

Let alone submitting to Sith, even if they were asked to stab the entire Karl No. 2 in the back, they would not hesitate in the slightest.

But......

Could there really be such a good thing?

As if seeing through their hesitation, Lin En said lightly:

"You need not worry this is a trap; we Fire Shadow Clan come with sufficient sincerity."

"Even if you don't believe us, you should believe Big Boss Sith's determination."

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck beside Lin En, and the surrounding Blood Axe grots reflexively raised their firearms to aim.

When the smoke dust cleared, an esper grot appeared out of thin air.

"One against seven is correct, Big Boss Sith, we need you!"

Seeing it was Sith's only trusted troop, the old Blood Axe Big Guy hesitated not at all, and right there threw his sniper rifle to the ground.

Kneeling on one knee, he bowed his head to Lin En.

"The Blood Axe Clan submits to Big Boss Sith! From now on, wherever Big Boss Sith points, we strike!"

Just like that, Lin En used less than two days to completely tie the most sinister Blood Axe Clan on Karl No. 2 to Sith's chariot.

When Sith learned of this news, looking at the Blood Axe Clan token of allegiance delivered by Yaduoduo, he recognized this little fart's ability even more.

He had originally thought that in this life he could only rely on those hundred-plus espers to fight alone.

But now he had the Fire Shadow Clan's ninja group, and also the Blood Axe Clan's agent troop.

He seemed to gradually have the capital to contend with Chandler.

And just as the power structure on Karl No. 2 was quietly changing, outside the space station, new waves arose.

Chief Executive Carter of the Brevis Star System learned that Lin En was waging a protracted war on Karl No. 2.

Still unable to take this space station after a long time, he felt Governor Sir needed more support.

So he actively maneuvered resources, piecing together a reinforcement fleet of twenty escort ships, rushing to the outskirts of Karl No. 2 to support Lin En's operation.

Lin En, having received support, also launched an attack without ceremony.

Almost at the same time, the reluctant Luna also led her own fleet and launched an assault.

She had always been unable to swallow the anger of being ambushed by Chandler before, and wanted to take advantage of Lin En's action to form a two-pronged attack with Lin En, and take Karl No. 2 in one move.

Two fleets, left and right, like a pair of pincers, clamped toward Karl No. 2's defensive line.

When the news reached Karl No. 2 Core Area, the big guys of all the major clans instantly fell into chaos.

They clamored and argued, still without reliable tactics, each fighting on their own.

And this was exactly to Lin En's taste.

He had originally been pained to use his own Imperial Fleet as a stepping stone, but now Luna delivered herself to his door, just saving him a lot of trouble.

Relying on the Bug Race and Genestealers planted in Luna Fleet, every move of Luna was under his control.

He did not rush to resolve this crisis; instead, he let Yaduoduo come to Sith's side as an "Assistant Strategist" throughout, giving him advice and strategies.

And he himself, through his underlings constantly updating Yaduoduo with fleet information, became a spy within a spy.

In the Conference Hall, facing the big guys of all the major clans clamoring into a group.

Yaduoduo, at Sith's gesture, stood up and clearly explained the tactics Lin En had devised.

"The tactic is very simple." Yaduoduo used his hand to cover, quietly speaking into Sith's ear.

"First, Big Boss Sith's esper troop is responsible for full-domain reconnaissance and command, locking onto all movements of the enemy fleet, finding their weak point."

"Then let the main forces of all the major clans hold the enemy's attack on the front defensive line, pinning down their main force."

"Of course, you just let them fight however they want; anyway they would do that themselves."

"Finally, let the Fire Shadow Clan's assault boat group, combined with the Blood Axe Clan's fleet, circle around to the rear of the enemy fleet, and precisely ambush their supply line and communication command ship."

This set of tactics was precisely the rear-circle ambush method that had previously repelled the Imperial Fleet, tested in actual combat, and never failed.

Sith looked at Yaduoduo, then looked at the big guys of all the major clans clamoring into a group, and sighed.

Afterwards he restated the tactics Yaduoduo had spoken in his own tone.

But the big guys had never heard Sith command, and still chattered endlessly, obviously not taking his words seriously.

"Use this tactic; all clans, all obey my dispatch; whoever dares disobey orders, execute on the spot!"

Sith struck his cane hard, and the pressure of an Alpha-level Esper instantly enveloped the entire scene.

All the clamoring big guys instantly shut their mouths, not daring to utter another word of nonsense.

The battle officially began an hour later.

Sith's psychic power, like an invisible great net, covered the entire Outer Areas of Kal II.

The general movements of the Imperial Fleet were clearly reflected in his psychic vision.

But this was clearly not enough; fortunately, Lin En sent someone to the conference room at intervals to give Yaduoduo situation reports.

And informed Yaduoduo of the tactical thinking—his own boss was an enemy spy; how was this supposed to work?

Sith transmitted all of Yaduoduo's thoughts synchronously to all troops on the Front Line.

On the Front Battlefield, the Green Skin fleets of the major clans charged straight up, and the firelight of Macro Cannons stretched across the battlefield in one piece.

Explosive shells and light beams interwove back and forth, turning the pitch-black Space into a riot of colors.

The Imperial Fleet on the Front Line was tightly entangled by the Green Skins' suicidal charges.

But just as both sides' main forces were locked in stalemate, three hundred Fire Shadow Assault Boats, under fire cover, attempted to get behind the Imperial Fleet.

But having learned from the last lesson, Lin En and Luna's fleets were both on guard against this invisible Assault Fleet.

Several Escort Ships stood in front of the Fire Shadow Assault Fleet.

But those three hundred assault boats seemed to have anticipated this long ago, and directly entangled with those few Escort Ships responsible for defending the rear ranks.

And another two hundred Fire Shadow Assault Boats joined forces with the Blood Axe Fleet, taking a much longer route.

Launching an assault from the other side where defenses were weaker.

The Blood Axe Clan Fleet was centered on a Light Cruiser, with over a hundred Silent Assault Boats forming the formation.

This cruiser, refitted from an Imperial Sword-class Frigate, was one of the few relatively stable refitted ships among the Green Skins.

Compared to other "Iron Lumps," the Blood Axe Cruiser was lighter and more stable.

So it was suitable for carrying out stealth decapitation quests, and the Macro Cannon on board had only a "25%" chance of exploding.

Among all Green Skin fleets, its stability consistently ranked among the top.
