Next came physical repairs.

The Xian Ge Hao originally had a small Mechanical Priest team responsible for the ship's daily maintenance.

In the previous great melee, although most Mechanical Priests died.

But the Servitors used to repair the ship were not greatly affected.

To repair the ship as soon as possible, and also to make these oil monkeys obediently listen.

Lin En had Lena forcibly infect the remaining Mechanical Priests.

Mechanical Priests whose mechanical modifications exceeded their flesh-and-blood ratio, after being infected by Genestealers, could not remain stable for long.

They would install data crystal origins in their brains, and their nervous systems were replaced with all sorts of junk.

It was as if the "machine spirit" and the Genestealers' genes would produce a rejection reaction.

Anyway, they would be completely scrapped before long.

But that didn't matter; Lin En only needed them to repair the ship to the point where it could fly.

Anyway, he had never thought of taking these oil monkeys to Brevis.

The last thing to consider was the fate of the Purple Crystal Hao and the Bug Swarm aboard it.

This "merchant ship" that had undergone biological modification, after this period of sailing, looked less and less like an Imperial ship.

It was more like a giant ball of flesh floating in space, covered with writhing flesh and chitinous carapace.

Its surface was covered with pulsating blood vessels, tumor-like organs, and tentacles moving everywhere.

Such a ship absolutely could not follow them to Brevis.

Unless he wanted it to be blasted into fragments by orbital defense cannon fire the moment it approached Brevis.

Likewise, the Bug Swarm army definitely could not be taken along.

After all, no matter how you looked at it, the Lena Swarm could not go head-to-head with either Brevis or the Green-skinned Warlord.

Hiding it was definitely impossible, so bringing it along would lose its meaning and only add to the risk of exposure.

Lin En thought for a long time and made a decision.

First, from the immigrants who followed him from Necromunda, he screened out one thousand people.

These people had relatively low mutation levels, and their appearance was already very close to ordinary humans.

And after this period of "adaptation" aboard the Purple Crystal Hao, they had developed a certain psychological tolerance for the existence of Lin En and the Bug Race.

They would be Lin En's foundation in Brevis, and also the grassroots cadres of Lin En's future forces.

Then, he left behind most of the Genestealers, leaving only a few necessary crew members on the Purple Crystal Hao.

Besides that, he only brought Dou Dou and his forty-something Ogryn brothers, as well as those seven hundred or so "clean" servants.

As for Lena's main body and Lena No. 2, they naturally would follow Lin En.

She was Lin En's greatest trump card and source of power.

As for the Purple Crystal Hao and most of the Bug Race aboard it.

"Go there." Lin En stood before the star map, pointing to a planet on the edge of the Lixis Star System.

It was the outermost planet in the Lixis Star System, marked as "Dead World-B."

According to the limited data provided by Kaili, the planet's surface environment was extremely harsh.

Super-high concentration toxic atmosphere, intense radiation storms and extreme temperature changes, and fierce native predatory creatures.

Unsuitable for long-term human habitation.

But that was for humans; what did it matter to my Bug Race.

No complex ecosystem needed balancing, no stubborn intelligent race resisting, only the most primitive life forms and abundant minerals.

Lin En had Lena No. 2 produce several ordinary mother bugs to leave aboard the Purple Crystal Hao.

To cooperate with other Warrior Bugs in reclaiming Dead World-B.

Although their efficiency was far inferior to Lena No. 2's, and the soldier types they could hatch were limited to the cannon fodder four-piece set.

But slowly developing there and accumulating power was completely sufficient.

"I will establish a foothold in Brevis."

"When I need you, you will be my greatest trump card..."

A glint of sharpness flashed in Lin En's eyes.

Three days later.

Under the desperate work of Servitors commanded by several Mechanical Priests on the verge of collapse, and the Genestealers.

The Xian Ge Hao finally restored its most basic Real Space Travel capability.

The Warp Engine was still paralyzed, but the auxiliary engines and power units were repaired to a barely usable state.

Enough to support the Xian Ge Hao reaching Brevis.

Forget about the Void Shield; repairing that thing was not simple.

The weapon system was also not worth repairing.

After all, with the Purple Crystal Hao escorting, if any blind pirates dared to come, let them wait to be boarded by the Bug Swarm.

The Purple Crystal Hao followed behind the Xian Ge Hao, dragging its huge biological body.

It would follow the Xian Ge Hao until it was within Brevis's range to "see," then silently depart.

Head to that Death World, and there quietly take root and sprout.

And the Xian Ge Hao, heading toward Brevis, began a slow and steady journey.

Inside the luxurious Restaurant of the Xian Ge Hao, Lin En, Kaili, and Isud sat here, eating food carefully prepared by the Genestealer Cook.

Over the past few days, Kaili and Isud had gradually come to recognize a reality.

Lin En was serious.

This Heretic truly intended to go to Brevis and replace Kaili as Planetary Governor.

When there was no other choice, people could adapt to anything.

So they numb-ly accepted this fact, at least they were still alive now.

The atmosphere at the dining Table was somewhat subtle.

Lin En ate with great enjoyment, Kaili found the food tasteless, while Isud seemed to have recovered some of her former Spirit.

Over the past few days, Lin En had asked her a Large Quantity of questions about Noble etiquette, political Wrist, and how to resolve internal Faction contradictions within Brevis.

Isud held nothing back when asked, and spoke without reservation.

She even actively provided some important information about Brevis that she herself had collected.

She believed Lin En had already seen her value, far exceeding the value of that waste Kaili.

Halfway through the meal, Lin En suddenly put down his Blade and fork, picked up a napkin, and wiped his Mouth.

He looked at Isud and spoke, his Tone Rarely somewhat gentle:

"Isud, if I become Governor of Brevis.

You should, not mind continuing to be this 'Governor's Wife,' right?"

Kaili Fiercely raised his head, eyes wide, complexion quickly turning pale.

His Lips Trembled, looking at Lin En, then at Isud, his gaze filled with Shock and pain, and a touch of Disbelief.

Isud's Heart rejoiced wildly.

Indeed, she had bet correctly!

This powerful and mysterious "Titus" needed her!

Needed her Wisdom, experience, and her connections.

What was Kaili? Just a waste with an empty title!

She immediately showed an even more signature brilliant Smile, her voice rising as she said:

"Of course I don't mind." She elegantly flicked her Hair.

"Anyway, I just want to be Governor's Wife; who is Governor, I don't care!"

These words were like a Sharp Dagger, viciously stabbing into Kaili's Heart.

His expression Distorted, as if smiling, but the smile was uglier than crying, his whole body slightly Trembling.

Married for so many years, no matter how poorly they got along, familiarity had bred affection over time.

Witnessing his wife's naked Betrayal with his own eyes at this moment, this pain far exceeded all Fear he had experienced before.

Lin En quietly watched all this, his eyes carrying Teasing.

He stood up, walked to Isud In Front of, and extended his Right Hand.

Isud was somewhat surprised, but immediately adjusted her posture, striking the standard bearing of a Noble lady accepting an invitation.

She lightly placed her hand on Lin En's extended hand, a just-right blush rising on her Face, looking shy.

"Madam," Lin En held her hand, his voice still gentle, but those Purple eyes were colder than ever.

"I see you seem to have misunderstood something."
