Lin En, thinking of something, frowned slightly.

He couldn't keep using his Imperial Fleet as experience fodder, handing heads over to Yi Su again and again to farm prestige.

Even if his pockets were deep, he couldn't afford to keep doing this; it truly hurt.

What's more, his current resources were all scraped together from Brevis East.

And Luna, "wealthy and powerful," after suffering several setbacks, had also become increasingly cautious.

Like a cunning fox, she no longer dared to strike lightly.

Since that was the case, then change the experience fodder.

Lin En's gaze fell on the gray planet at the edge of the star map, marked "Dead World-B."

He explained his idea to Lena.

No need for the Bug Swarm to launch a full-scale attack; just small-scale guerrilla harassment, precisely giving Yi Su another wave of prestige.

During this time, besides "eating well" on Dead World-B and building a sustainable biomass ecosystem, Lena had also been preparing for a possible space naval battle.

Based on the Tyranid Narvhal Whale Insect Ship, she developed several castrated biological warships.

Lin En gave them a name with a strong Eastern style: "Foot Long-class Bug Ship."

This type of worm ship retained the Narvhal Whale Insect Ship's short-distance Gravity Leap ability, allowing it to quickly close distance with enemy ships in naval battles and enter the Bug Swarm fleet's advantageous zone.

The hull was made of super-dense chitin and also possessed extremely strong self-healing ability.

The main weapons were two rows of biological plasma cannons, supplemented by Multi-tube Spore Launcher Nests.

And there were a large number of tentacles around the ship body, able to harass enemy ships in close-quarters combat or serve as grappling hooks.

It could conduct independent space combat and also deploy ground combat units to a planet's surface.

Its size was slightly larger than an Imperial Guard Ship but slightly smaller than a Cruiser.

But it won on having complete functions and extremely high flexibility, very suitable for this harassment mission.

Almost at the exact moment the Foot Long-class Bug Ship activated its Gravity Leap and entered the Kal II Star System.

On the Bridge of the Precept Ruler, Luna opened her eyes.

The three warships emitting Tyranid biological signals clearly appeared in her psychic vision.

"Regent King Adult, three unknown biological ships discovered at the edge of the star system, confirmed as Tyranid units, models never appeared in the database."

The Tzeentch Wizard beside her bowed to report, a trace of wariness in her tone.

"Is it necessary to dispatch the fleet to intercept?"

Luna walked to the star map, her finger tracing across it, looking at the positions of those three Foot Long Bug Ships.

She also looked at Kal II, and not far away Lin En's Expedition Fleet, her gaze cold and sinister.

In the entire star system, besides Lin En, no one could control a Tyranid fleet that didn't devour everything.

This little trick, she could see through at a glance.

But her fleet had been severely damaged in the last Assault, and her core Wizard Squad was still recuperating; she absolutely did not want unnecessary complications.

Moreover, she and Lin En each harbored their own secrets, both tacitly aware, no need to pierce this layer of window paper now.

And just relying on these three Bug Race warships, it was absolutely impossible to take down the heavily defended Kal II.

It was nothing more than Lin En wanting to pull some small trick again.

"Ignore them." Luna withdrew her gaze, her tone flat.

"Strengthen fleet alertness, lock onto the Bug Race warships' movements, do not actively attack, and do not let them approach our fleet."

Although that Wizard didn't understand, she still bowed and accepted the order.

She absolutely did not dare question Luna's decision, even if this decision was letting a group of Tyranids roam around in the star system.

Just like that, three Foot Long-class Bug Ships, swaggeringly, hid into the asteroid belt at the edge of the Kal II Star System.

And began their "harassment mission."

Spore Sacs growing tentacles, like tadpoles, continuously shot out from the worm ships' launcher nests.

Passing through the pitch-black Universe, flying toward Kal II.

The landing points of these Spore Sacs had been precisely calculated, all avoiding Kal II's core defense zones.

Scattered in the outer Debris Zone, or independent of Kal II's space stations, and also at the edges of various clan camps.

The moment a Spore Sac landed, it would blast open with a boom, and the low-tier Bug Race units loaded inside burst out of the hatch.

But they did not adopt the Bug Race's usual tactic of clustering together to advance and overwhelm the opponent with numbers.

Instead, at the first moment of landing, they scattered in all directions, drilling into the gaps of space stations, the wreckage of abandoned warships, disappearing without a trace.

In the following days, the Green Skins of Kal II came to understand what it meant for days to feel like years.

They never feared fighting head-on; Ork Beastmen were born for charging and fighting.

Even if facing tens of thousands of Bug Race, they would dare to charge forward bare-handed shouting waaagh.

But now, they had to search everywhere for these annoying insects.

Patrol Teams went out on patrol, walking and walking, and several Knife Worms would burst out from the rubbish heaps on both sides.

Over ten sharp sickle claws instantly pierced into the bodies of two isolated Grots, not giving others time to react.

Then they drilled back into the complex terrain, impossible to catch up with.

The newly built border watchtower was fine the first half of the night, but in the second half one could hear the sound of carapace rubbing and the hissing of insects.

When morning came, some of the grots responsible for standing watch had disappeared without a trace.

The squigs in the clan pasture, in a single night, had their bodies hollowed out, blood and organs gnawed clean, leaving only empty husks.

The timid grots began to dare not approach those fences where insects roamed.

This kind of lingering guerrilla harassment nearly drove the hot-tempered green skins mad.

They possessed nothing but brute strength, yet it was like a fist striking cotton — strength with no outlet.

Every day they could only curse at the drifting debris and garbage, then continue searching for those damn insects.

The key to this guerrilla war lay in the "chameleons" hiding in the dark.

These were special warrior bugs Lena had specifically modified for this mission.

Their combat power was not outstanding, yet they fused Likate's stealth genes, able to achieve optical camouflage.

These chameleons hid in Kal II's most concealed corners, serving as the bug swarm's command nodes.

Through the nodes Lena constantly adjusted the dispersed bug race's ambush positions, evading the green skins' encirclement and suppression, making them unable to fathom the bug swarm's movement patterns.

Just when all of Kal II was being harassed by the bug race to the point of utter exhaustion, the Sis Camp stepped forward.

At the war council, Yaduoduo broke from his usual obsequiousness before the major clans, and in front of Sis and all the big guys.

Produced a complete response plan, clear and logical, precisely striking at the crux of this bug race harassment.

The plan was simple: each to their duty, precision strikes.

The Blood Axe Clan, skilled in assassination and penetration, knew every inch of Kal II's terrain like the back of their hand.

Their agent grots were responsible for penetrating deep into each area, cleaning up already landed bug race units, tracking and hunting down the bug swarm nodes hiding in the dark.

The Evil Sun Clan, famed for speed, piloted their high-speed assault boats and space motorcycles, patrolling the full extent of Kal II's atmosphere.

Responsible for blasting spore sacs out of the sky before they could land, cutting off the bug race's reinforcements at the source.

And the Fire Shadow Clan's ninja kids split into two routes, one route cooperating with Blood Axe agents to execute cleanup missions.

Their stealth ability surpassed even that of the Blood Axe agents.

The other route cooperated with the Evil Sun Fleet, intercepting spore sacs that slipped through the net, holding Kal II's air defense line.
