This Brevis is far more interesting than Lin En imagined.

Being the governor of this planet is far more interesting than raiding biomass in space as a pirate.

He exited Crystal Origin, placing it back into the box along with the letter of recommendation.

"Let's go," he turned around.

"We'll return to the restaurant, eat and talk at the same time. I need to know more about my planet."

He deliberately emphasized the two words "my."

After all, on the entire Xian Ge Hao, aside from the remaining human faction, only the Lena Swarm was left.

The Genestealers were the first to be wiped out by the swarm, and the Chaos Cultists were also dealt with cleanly.

As for Wa La Ke, the moment he learned of the Lena Swarm's arrival, he had already slipped into Wang Dao and fled.

Anything from Xian Ge Hao, even if he just took a bit back, could cause a huge wave in the Dark Elves' main city, Gemo.

The three left the room and returned to that dining hall which was once luxurious but was now in complete disarray.

Lin En had the Genestealer-infected cook use ingredients from the ship to fry a portion of Synthetic Meat Steak.

He sat in the main seat, elegantly cutting a piece of steak with a knife and fork and putting it into his mouth, chewing slowly and savoring it carefully.

It had to be said, what these Nobles ate was far tastier than Nutrient Paste.

"Tell me," Lin En swallowed his food, wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, and looked at Kaili with his purple eyes.

"Brevis, tell me everything you know."

His tone carried a commanding air.

But Kaili knew that resistance no longer held any meaning.

He glanced at his wife beside him, whose heart was as cold as ashes, then looked at the Shadow on Lin En's shoulder.

He sighed and began to narrate:

"Brevis is a Hive World, located in the Menglong Star Domain, in the Lixis Star System at the outermost edge of the Calixis Sector."

"It was originally actually an Industrial World, with highly developed mining and manufacturing."

"But it encountered the same problem as many overdeveloped planets: explosive population growth, over-exploitation of resources, and severe environmental pollution..."

Kaili's voice was dry, but his mind gradually cleared, after all, this was his "future" Territory, and he had done quite a bit of homework.

"Later, after evaluation by the Imperial Administration Department and the Machine Cult, it was considered no longer suitable to continue operating as an Industrial World."

"Thus, a transition was pushed forward; it is now a typical Hive World, with a very poor surface environment."

"The current Brevis: sixty-something percent is permanent Frozen Soil highland Ice Plains, ten percent is polluted oceans and rivers."

"Plains and mountains truly suitable for habitation now make up less than twenty-five percent."

Kaili nodded and continued:

"Besides the main planet Brevis, the Lixis Star System also has a small Agricultural Planet called Dolido."

"And two Dead World planets with extremely harsh environments and no development value."

"Moreover, because Warp Storms frequently occur around the Hilix Star System, it can be considered half a Cage Star System."

"Plus, Brevis is geographically remote, its routes unstable, and it has almost long been in a state of semi-independence, with weak Imperial control."

"In short, it is a highly autonomous Planet."

Lin En listened while eating his steak slowly and leisurely, understanding clearly in his heart.

Indeed, this kind of remote planet where the emperor is far away is the easiest place to form local separatism.

If he could become the Governor here and hold real power, it wouldn't be much different from being a local tyrant.

"But," Kaili's tone suddenly shifted, becoming somewhat hesitant.

Lin En's cutting motion stopped: "But what?"

"But, Adult, the situation on Brevis may be more complex than the reports on paper."

He paused for a moment, organized his thoughts, and continued:

"About two years ago, the Agricultural World Dolido in the Lixis Star System experienced a large-scale Orc Barbarian invasion."

"At first it was just scattered Grot gangs; Brevis sent the Planetary Defense Force to suppress them, originally thinking it could be easily resolved..."

Kaili's voice lowered, carrying a trace of lingering fear:

"But those Orc Barbarians reproduce and evolve too quickly."

"In just a few months, the scattered gangs gathered into a true great army!"

"A Green-skinned Warlord rose in that melee, and it's said he is quite special."

"Special?" A trace of curiosity flashed in Lin En's eyes.

"Yes, special," Kaili nodded.

"It's said that warlord has an extraordinary obsession with 'eating'."

"Dolido's land is fertile and its products abundant; after occupying the planet, he didn't just know destruction like ordinary Beastmen."

"Instead, he forced Orc slaves to mass-breed Squigs for food."

Lin En raised his eyebrows; this was indeed special.

Most Beastman warlords only care about fighting and making bigger waaaaagh!

But this warlord seems to have some business sense?

"The Orc Barbarians under him have therefore become somewhat different from other Orc Barbarians."

Kaili continued, "They are generally fatter and stronger."

"And it's said they even hold contests similar to 'big eaters,' competing to see who can eat more..."

"Dolido was completely occupied a year ago."

Kaili's tone was full of loss, as if he himself had lost an Agricultural World.

Although Lin En very much wanted to curse him for what exactly he was losing over, he did not speak up to interrupt him.

"With the loss of Dolido's supplies, Brevis's food supply immediately developed a huge gap."

"Almost the entire Brevis lost thirty percent of its population within a year." Kaili seemed somewhat pitiful.

"Worse still, the Orc Barbarians were not satisfied with just one Agricultural Planet."

"Just one month after Dolido fell, the Orc army began launching probing attacks against Brevis."

"At first it was small-scale harassment, then it turned into large-scale landing assaults."

"Now, according to the last news I received before my departure, most of the Ice Plains regions of Brevis's main planet have already been captured."

"Both parties are deadlocked at the main defensive line in the center of the continent."

Lin En listened, quickly analyzing in his heart.

A Green-skinned Warlord possessing a special ability Waaagh Field, who understands logistics management.

Plus a stronger Green-skinned army, Brevis actually managed to fight a tug-of-war with them for over a year.

He looked at Kaili and asked the key question:

"With the Orcs' reproductive and war potential, how can an isolated and helpless Hive World like Brevis possibly hold out for a year?"

This is the most unreasonable part.

In the Warhammer Universe, once the Orcs form a true Waaaagh!

Their destructive power grows exponentially.

A Hive World in a remote star system, without strong support from the Imperial Navy, without the intervention of a Space Marine Chapter.

Actually able to single-handedly fight against a rising Green-skinned Warlord for a year?

This is simply unbelievable.
