"Isud," Lin En said, looking at this group of burly big guys, already having a plan in mind.

He needed his own, "legitimate" armed force, and could not directly expose the existence of the Bug Race.

After all, he did not think his current strength (the Lena Swarm) could match a planetary-level Green-skinned Warlord.

Or the Breviss Native Force capable of contending with the Green-skinned Warlord.

So he had to put on a show, and these Ogryns, who were loyal, durable, and had considerable combat power, were undoubtedly the best choice.

"Who manages these Ogryns?" Lin En asked.

Although Lin En had been asking Kaili, Isud was also always ready to answer questions; she wanted to make herself a "useful" person.

【14 | She had long anticipated Lin En would ask this question, and immediately answered:

Having long anticipated that Lin En would ask this question, she answered immediately:

"Replying to Adult, we have no specially assigned manager.

Ogryns usually only obey the 'Smart Head' recognized within their own group.

However, this group of Ogryns' 'Smart Head' is a bit special."

"Special?"

"Yes, their Smart Head is still a child, and moreover a juvenile Ogryn."

"A child?" Lin En was somewhat surprised.

An Ogryn's "Smart Head" naturally emerges from the group as one with relatively outstanding intelligence.

Or becomes a Captain after undergoing BONE nerve biochemical enhancement surgery implemented by the Imperial Mechanicus.

But a juvenile Ogryn almost ruled out the second option.

This kind of purely natural "Smart Head" is quite rare.

"Yes, an eight-year-old Ogryn child."

Isud confirmed, then shouted toward the Ogryn Group: "Dou Dou! Come out for a moment!"

The Ogryn Group stirred, and then a head poked out.

"Who's calling Dou Dou?" a simple-minded voice rang out.

"You're a child?" Lin En looked at Dou Dou.

Dou Dou nodded.

Compared to other Ogryns with "wild" appearances, Dou Dou looked very tender and was much more pleasing to the eye.

"How old are you?"

"Eight years old!"

"Come out."

"Obeying, sir!"

To make the Ogryns remember him, Lin En deliberately retracted his Combat Armor and wore Kaili's Captain's Uniform.

When Dou Dou had completely emerged from the crowd and stood in front of Lin En.

Lin En only felt the sky darken, and his mouth corner couldn't help but twitch.

This "eight-year-old child" stood a full two meters six tall!

Muscles bulged all over, his arms were thicker than Lin En's waist, and his skin was the typical gray of Ogryns.

He was truly a Small Meat Mountain, his shadow completely covering Lin En.

Now not wearing Combat Armor, Lin En, at only one meter eight, could only reach his chest.

"This fucking is eight years old?!" Lin En pointed at Dou Dou, turning to ask Isud, his voice full of disbelief.

Isud seemed to have long anticipated Lin En's reaction, calmly nodding.

"Yes, eight years old, just that the child grew in a hurry."

She then added, her tone actually carrying a trace of rare, subtle pride, as if introducing her own child:

"Dou Dou is very smart; ordinary Ogryns, being able to count to five is already a 'Smart Kid.'

But Dou Dou is different; he can count from one to nine in one go!

Sometimes when in good condition and performing outstandingly, he can even count to eleven all at once!"

Lin En: "…"

He was silent for a few seconds, then slowly raised his hand and gave Dou Dou a Thumbs Up.

"Awesome!"

Although Dou Dou did not understand the meaning of the word "Awesome," he also knew Lin En was praising him, and somewhat embarrassedly scratched his head.

"So from now on you follow me, okay?"

Lin En said, looking at the Ogryns before him with a smile.

Dou Dou scratched his Belly, his eyes blinking, and asked in a silly manner:

"Following you, can we eat our fill?"

The other Ogryns also stopped chewing and looked at Lin En neatly.

Their eyes flashed with the most primal, direct desire—the desire for food.

Lin En smiled: "Follow me, and I guarantee you'll eat nine meals in three days!"

"As long as there's food to eat, we'll follow you!"

Dou Dou immediately slapped his chest and said, and the other Ogryns all made agreeing rumbling sounds.

"Good!" Lin En extended his fist and bumped it against Dou Dou's broad palm.

The Ogryns let out a cheer, though it sounded more like some beast's roar.

For their simple brains, whoever could fill their bellies was a good boss!

Over the next few days, under the guidance of several Genestealer "Instructors," the Ogryns began the most basic combat learning.

After all, they would serve as Lin En's Bodyguard on Brevis, and necessary combat common sense had to be mastered.

It was called learning, but it was actually more repetitive muscle memory training.

How to form simple formations, and understand advance and retreat commands.

And how to use weapons that fell under "Heavy Firepower" for ordinary people.

The Ogryns' brains were simple, but their body memory ability was surprisingly good.

Especially when there was always enough food as a reward after training ended.

Dou Dou, as "Smart Head," was treated as a Key Training Object.

As long as he learned these things, then the whole Ogryn Squad could be considered to have learned them.

Of course, counting ability was still his "Specialty," and Lin En often came to see them.

Once he personally saw Dou Dou count to eleven! when distributing food.

When the asset inventory came to the end, naturally only the Xian Ge Hao itself remained.

When the detailed damage report was placed in front of Lin En, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The situation was roughly as he had expected.

Although they had just gone through a multi-party melee, the Xian Ge Hao's main structure damage was not serious.

The Black Bean Sprout's attack focused mainly on the Shield Generator and Engine Area; although both were key parts, the destruction range was limited.

When the Lena Swarm landed, the Spore Sacs only corroded a few gaps, causing no large area damage to the hull.

The most troublesome thing was actually what the Chaos Believers left behind.

The Warp Energy leaked during the Chaos Ritual, and the "Traces" left by Demons active within the ship.

Like an invisible virus, remaining on the ship.

Those colorful Ghost Lights, distorted space, and whispers in the shadows could not be cleared by physical means.

The State Religion Pastors and Combat Nuns aboard should have been responsible for handling these Void Contaminations.

But they had all sacrificed in the previous battle.

Without their Purification Rituals, these Chaos Residuals would slowly spread like Cancer Cells.

Eventually possibly causing the whole ship to become a terrifying Void Domain where Warp Reality Converged, attracting more Chaos Great Enemies.

However, Lin En had Lena.

"Lena, can you handle it?" Lin En stood at Bridge Center, softly asking the Lena surrounding him.

Lena let out a low growl, giving Lin En an Affirmative Response.

Immediately, massive Psyker Fluctuations spread from her as Center, like an invisible tide slowly passing through the whole Xian Ge Hao.

This was not "Purification," but direct, Overbearing "Offset."

Lena's Warp Nature was cold, greedy, pure Insect Swarm Will, an extreme manifestation of Material Universe Life Force.

When her psyker swept over the areas contaminated by Chaos, two completely different energies underwent fierce collision and Annihilation.

This was a violent and Unreasonable Cleaning Method, possibly causing some Spirit Pressure Damage to the hull, but the effect was significant.

It took a whole day for Lena's psyker to "Wash" every corner of the Xian Ge Hao.

When the Last Trace of Chaos Residual was cleared, the whole Xian Ge Hao seemed to have laid down a heavy Burden, and even the Gravity System became somewhat Stable.
