The Blood Axe Cruiser and escort ships exchanged fire, drawing attention.
More than a hundred Silent Assault Boats, and the remaining two hundred Fire Shadow Assault Boats, were the true main force.
The Blood Axe Clan's Silent Assault Boats had uniform camouflage paint and signal jammers installed, basically matching the Fire Shadow Assault Boats in positioning.
They could stealthily prowl the battlefield, though their firepower and performance couldn't compare to the Fire Shadow Assault Boats.
More than three hundred assault boats appeared directly before the Empire Supply Fleet and opened fire.
Various beams rained down like a sudden storm, smashing into the utterly defenseless supply fleet.
The Squeak Cannon's power was unbelievable, and the noisy engine's noise interfered with the enemy's communications and fire control systems.
Boarding torpedoes ignored the Void Shields and were stuffed directly into the ships' hulls.
The Blood Axe Clan's grot agents appeared inside the cabins like ghosts.
Their sniper rifles precisely picked off fleet sailors in the corridors, and explosive packs were stuffed everywhere.
In just a few hours, the supply fleet and several ships responsible for command and communications were heavily damaged.
Of course, it was mainly Luna's ships that were heavily damaged.
The vanguard forces lost logistical supplies and command coordination, and their offensive rhythm was completely disrupted.
Lin En's fleet had no choice but to retreat helplessly, and Luna could only grit her teeth, leading her damaged fleet out of the battlefield.
This two-pronged crisis was just easily resolved.
And from this battle, Kal II's Green Skins truly realized for the first time.
Sas seemed not just a psychic monster hiding behind Lianggenna, but a reliable War Boss who could lead them to victory.
Sas's personal prestige, and his direct forces, saw their first surge.
Riding the momentum of this great defensive victory, Lin En immediately launched the Second Expansion Plan.
Win over the Evil Sun Clan, Kal II's best at extreme-speed assaults, to further strengthen Sas's faction.
Lin En knew very well that the Evil Sun Clan were madmen who worshipped speed to their bones.
They only recognized speed and fists; money and interests alone could never make them submit.
So winning them over wouldn't be as simple as buying off the Blood Axe Clan.
First they had to crush the pride they were proud of, then use absolute strength to completely beat them into submission.
The first thing to do was to anger them.
Lin En had Yaduoduo, on the waaaghGP points race broadcast live across all of Kal II, say a harsh line before all the Green Skins.
"The Evil Sun Clan's vaunted extreme speed? Just a joke."
"Across all of Kal II, only the Fire Shadow Clan knows what true speed is."
"With us around, you Evil Sun Clan will never be champions!"
"Got guts? Come to XX points race station and settle it!"
These words were simple and brainless, about the same as "got guts, don't leave after school."
But the hot-tempered Evil Sun Clan instantly got riled up.
These madmen who believed "red means fast" exploded on the spot.
They howled, smashing the wine cups in their hands, cursing at the broadcast screen, and vowing to let the Fire Shadow brats know who was the speed king of Kal II.
The next day, the Evil Sun Clan sent a challenge to the Fire Shadow Clan, to hold a waaaghGP exclusive race with only the two clans participating, deciding victory by speed.
This was exactly what Lin En wanted.
The race was set at Eye of Gork's replica track, 51.2 kilometers long, almost exactly the same as the original champion's track.
The Evil Sun Clan sent all their acknowledged fastest grots and Big Guys, and even the clan's most legendary speed ace, "Red Madman" Ga Ke, took the field personally.
They rode the top-tier Red Explosive Squigs, vowing to grind the Fire Shadow brats under their feet.
On the Fire Shadow Clan's side, the one leading the team was none other than Eye of Gork's champion, Sasuke.
The moment the starting gun fired, dozens of squigs shot out at once.
The Evil Sun brats rode their Red Explosive Squigs, as always at the very front, letting out mad shouts from their mouths.
But they didn't expect Sasuke, riding Chidori, to follow unhurriedly in the middle of the pack, always keeping a steady pace.
Only upon entering the first Gravity Overload Segment did Sasuke finally exert himself.
Relying on his ultimate understanding of the track and his gene-specialized squig, Sasuke, in the fivefold gravity segment,
barely lost speed, instantly overtook all the Evil Sun racers, and surged into the lead position.
The rest of the race completely became Sasuke's personal show.
In the Mushroom Minefield, he precisely threaded through the gaps between Explosive Mushrooms.
In the Meteor Drift Belt, he relied on his slick maneuvering to dodge all the falling meteorites.
In Crazy Thunder Canyon, he even used the gaps between lightning strikes to complete an extreme overtake.
The Evil Sun brats used every dirty trick—throwing bombs, malicious ramming, even using human bombs to stop him—but Sasuke easily resolved them all.
They watched Sasuke's figure grow farther and farther, yet couldn't even catch up to his exhaust.
Finally, when Sasuke crossed the finish line, second-place Ga Ke was a full three minutes behind him.
Three minutes, in a waaaghGP race, was a difference of heaven and earth.
The entire racetrack fell silent; the Evil Sun grots' faces turned green with rage, their speed pride engraved in their bones crushed ruthlessly by Sasuke on the track.
After defeating them in speed, Lin En knew it wouldn't be so simple to make them submit.
Against Green Skins, the most crucial thing was naturally whose fist was harder.
Lin En had long been prepared for this.
He had Yaduoduo borrow fifty elite psyker grots from Sis, join forces with the Fire Shadow Clan's ninja united army, and the Blood Axe Clan's agent squad.
That night, they launched an assault on the Evil Sun Clan's core camp.
Sis's psyker grots first used Psyker Shields to block the camp's alarm system, while the Upper Ninjas took the opportunity to assassinate the grots responsible for reconnaissance.
Immediately after, the Fire Shadow Clan's purple assault boat groups directly struck the camp's spaceport.
The small assault boats and space motorcycles the Evil Sun Clan prided themselves on were not worth a single blow before the Fire Shadow Clan's top-tier assault boats.
In speed, the Fire Shadow Clan's luxurious waaaagh Engine was a top-tier configuration even the Evil Sun Tech Bosses couldn't build.
The Fire Shadow assault boats' Squeak Cannons could even shatter three Evil Sun space motorcycles with one shot.
The speed war the Evil Sun Clan prided itself on was completely crushed under absolute strength disparity and tactical suppression.
Simultaneously, the Blood Axe Clan's Big Guys, leading the agent grots, had already infiltrated the camp's Core Area.
They precisely located the residences of the few most powerful Big Guys of the Evil Sun Clan, and in their sleep, cut off their heads.
When the sun rose the next day, the Evil Sun Clan was leaderless, and the camp was completely under control.
The remaining grots, looking at the wreckage all over the ground and the Fire Shadow Clan's cannon mouths glowing with green light,
finally recognized reality and lowered their proud heads.
Lin En announced on the spot that the Evil Sun Clan would henceforth submit to Sis's command, becoming the third core force of the Sis Camp.
In just one month, Sis's camp possessed the Fire Shadow, Blood Axe, and Evil Sun Three Great Clans.
Holding Kal II's most top-tier mobile troops, assassination forces, plus his own psyker squad.
Already possessing the strength to stand against the Death Skull Clan.
Facing the Fire Shadow Clan's such radical expansion, Kal II's other clans dared to be angry but not speak out.
First, Chandler remained in seclusion and never came out; no one knew where his laboratory was located.
Without a leader, no one dared to stand up against the Sis Camp, which was riding high.
Second, Sis was the Supervisor personally sent by Big Boss Liang Ge Nao; openly, his status was not lower than Chandler, this War Boss.
Winning over the clans, integrating forces, having a just cause—no one could find fault.
And most importantly, the prestige surge from the Fire Shadow Clan's two great victories made their waaagh Force Field grow stronger, their strength rising like a boat on rising water.
Plus the Blood Axe Clan's omnipresent assassination deterrence; the Big Guys of all clans feared that one day, after getting drunk, they would never wake up again.
Therefore, they could only hold their noses and tacitly accept the Sis Camp's expansion.
