Protagonist:

Lin En

Lena

The white-haired girl tilted her head slightly, her soft strands of hair falling onto Lin En's cheek.

A trace of puzzlement flashed in her eyes.

【Nurgle?】

When she was on Brevis Planet, she had read a large quantity of materials regarding the Enemies of Humanity.

She knew of the existence of the Chaos Evil Gods, and also knew the authorities they controlled and their modus operandi.

But she had never heard the name "Nurgle" before.

【Is that the Chaos Evil God representing life and disease? I saw it in the materials; they call him 'Kindly Father', 'God of Plague'.】

【Correct.】

Lin En replied in the mental link.

【Nurgle is his Warp True Name; this form of address is far more precise than those false titles.】

Lena nodded thoughtfully.

【Indeed quite precise, Nurgle......】

Her tone carried a trace of disdain.

As a Tyranid, she held a natural disgust for anything that would contaminate biomass.

And Nurgle's plagues were undoubtedly the thing she found most repulsive.

Lin En's eyebrows wrinkled tightly.

He currently had a splitting headache.

First came the Green Skin Invasion and Chaos attack, then Lianggenna's strange resurrection, and now Nurgle's plague had popped up.

Has the Brevis Star System violated some heavenly law?

How can troubles come one wave after another?

A remote star system like the Kalixis Star System where not even birds shit, usually doesn't even have a few Xenos.

Now it's good; not only did a nest of Green Skins erupt, but believers of the Lord of Lust and Yi Su appeared, and even Nurgle came to join the fun.

And anyone with a brain knows Nurgle's target is definitely Brevis Planet.

Dolido Planet is just a convenient stopover.

But, why?

The Thirteenth Black Crusade is currently in full swing; the main forces of Chaos are all concentrated at the Gate of Cadia.

Nurgle's people aren't properly fighting the war at the front line; what are they doing running to this remote star system?

Countless thoughts flashed through Lin En's mind.

Could it be because of me and Lena?

Impossible.

They've only been in the Brevis Star System for a short half year, and have hidden themselves well the whole time.

Aside from Sorin and a few others, no one knows their true identities.

Nurgle couldn't possibly have noticed their existence this quickly.

Then what is it because of?

Lin En's gaze fell upon an inconspicuous metal instrument gauge on his wrist.

Could it be because of that STC?

But, an STC used to enhance shields, what appeal could it have for Nurgle?

What Nurgle wants is to spread plague, rot and death.

A single STC holds zero value to him.

Lin En puzzled over it to no avail.

But the one thing he could be certain of was that a massive storm was brewing in the Brevis Star System.

Green Skins, Chaos, the Empire and the Bug Race — multiple forces were about to converge here.

The coming days would absolutely not be peaceful.

"Looks like we must make thorough preparations."

Lin En turned around, looked at Lena, and said in a determined tone.

"Lena, it's time to take the next step; we have to continue expanding the Bug Swarm's strength."

Hearing the words "expand the Bug Swarm", Lena's eyes instantly lit up.

A delighted expression appeared on her face, like a child who had gotten candy.

"Really?!"

"We can finally expand on Dead Silent World-A?!"

Lena's tone was filled with anticipation.

She had wanted to do this for a long time.

Dead World-B's resources were already nearly exhausted; the Bug Swarm's scale hadn't grown significantly in a very long time.

And Dead Silent World-A is the second Dead World in the Kalixis Star System, with a volume twenty times that of Dead World-B, almost as large as Brevis Planet.

Above lie richer mineral resources and more diverse native organisms, enough to support the Bug Swarm's development to an unprecedented scale.

Moreover, Dead Silent World-A is closer to Brevis Planet; should anything happen on Brevis, the Bug Swarm can arrive in the shortest possible time.

Lin En watched Lena's excited appearance and couldn't help but smile.

"Right."

"Split the Bug Swarm on Dead World-B in half and transfer them to Dead Silent World-A."

"Establish a new Main Hive there and hatch Combat Units on a large scale."

"But it must be concealed."

Lin En's expression turned serious again.

"Do not let Brevis's humans notice anything unusual."

"All hatching and construction work had best be conducted underground."

"Try not to alter the surface environment on a large scale."

"Brevis's humans are already too busy with their own affairs, but we still cannot be careless."

"Once the Bug Swarm's existence is exposed, we will again fall into a dilemma."

"Rest assured!"

Lena patted her chest and said with full confidence.

"When I handle things, do you still not trust me?"

"I'll have the vanguard troop first establish concealed Incubation Pools underground on Dead Silent World-A, then slowly transfer the Bug Swarm, absolutely leaving no obvious traces."

"And, just as you said, Brevis's humans can't even handle their own troubles right now — who has time to care what happens on a dead planet?"

Lena had long since planned everything.

She had even simulated in her mind countless times the scene of establishing an Insect Nest on Dead Silent World-A.

Lin En nodded.

For Lena's ability, he still trusted her very much.

"Good then."

"This matter is entrusted to you; complete it as soon as possible."

"I have a premonition that before long we will need this Bug Swarm."

Lin En's gaze grew deep.

He looked at the distant Kal II Space Station and said in a flat tone:

"If Brevis's situation truly deteriorates to an irretrievable point."

"Then we will personally strike and clean up the mess."

"Better we benefit than the Green Skins and Chaos."

"At least we can wipe away all traces cleanly, leaving no future trouble."

This is Lin En's bottom line.

He holds no strong sense of belonging to the Empire; only human morality drives him to temporarily protect civilians and fulfill a Governor's duties.

Everything he does is more for himself and Lena, for their Bug Swarm.

If the Empire truly cannot hold Brevis, he doesn't mind personally striking and pocketing all the Biomass of the entire planet.

Lena nodded vigorously.

"Mm, I'll listen to you on everything!"

Her eyes flashed with excited radiance.

At the thought of devouring an entire planet's Biomass, she couldn't help but grow excited.

"Then what are we going to do now?"

Lena pulled Lin En's hand and asked curiously.

"Return to Kal II."

Lin En smiled.

"Deal with those abandoned Green Skin Boys."

"And don't let our little Tax Collector be too disappointed."

Although he had no good feelings toward this proud Noble Major General, Dominic is now an indispensable powerful human force.

Before the Chaos threat is fully exposed, he still needs Dominic and the Tithe Fleet to hold off the Green Skins and other enemies for him.

"Good!" Lena obediently nodded.

"Then let's hurry; I haven't properly stretched my limbs in a long time."

Her tone carried a trace of anticipation.

For battle, she, like Lin En, possesses a natural desire.

The Shuttlecraft's Engine roared once more.

The silver figure turned direction and flew toward the Kal II Space Station.
