I'm in Warhammer, I just want to grow mushrooms

Chapter 225 What was Old Man Huang really thinking?
Li Nuo called Amy over and introduced the head of the secret service to Corrie.

Corrie was surprised by Amy's age, but given Li Nuo's case, she did not look down on her.

Amy was responsible for guiding the trainee agents through the onboarding process.

Thanks to Amy's outstanding business skills, Li Nuo was able to become a hands-off manager after handing over Corrie to her.

In the following days, the Orc Destroyers scouted Apimatt DE several times to finalize the upcoming demolition operation.

The eight, nine, and tenth units of the Orc Destroyer have been basically assembled.

The Eighth Company is responsible for testing metabolic enzyme activity inhibitors. In addition to regular combat personnel and crew, their ships also have a highly specialized medical laboratory.

The person operating the experimental equipment was another apprentice of Collier Jersey, named Anton Rall, who held an eighth-level alien physiologist certificate.

This apprentice is currently a mid-level mechanical sage.

The day his paper was finalized was when the practical effects of the metabolic enzyme activity inhibitor were confirmed.

At that time, he will rely on inhibitors to advance to the level 10 Alien Physiologist and become a true high-level mechanical sage.

In this way, he would be essentially bound to Li Nuo and would serve Li Nuo diligently in the future.

The Nine-Company of Orc Destroyers is responsible for testing the combat effectiveness of Gauss weapons, and is overseen by a crafting expert from the forging world of Demos.

Although the Mechanics Cult enjoys playing with metaphysics, they have unlocked the molecular-level technology tree, making them far more powerful than the Greenskin's "I Think Power" in high-tech fields.

The Gauss weapon developed by Linuo, based on the green-skinned Gauss weapon, is powerful but has a short lifespan. Its shortcomings can be made up for by the technology of the Mechanicus.

He planned to find an opportunity to obtain the technical blueprints of the Mechanicus and secretly improve the Gauss weapons of the Palu warlord.

The Tenth Company's experimental project was an anti-psychic energy device.

Master Rand appointed a Clarity Man named Electrophoresis Number 1 to serve as supervisor.

This high-ranking electric monk was quite easy to talk to.

When Li Nuo asked to see the actual combat data, Electrophoresis No. 1 readily agreed.

The First, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Companies, totaling 1 combat personnel and 1.6 reservists, are ready to go.

With Li Nuo signing the operational authorization, the four companies immediately set off to launch their first attack on the orcs on Planet Apimatt DE.

After a round of orbital bombardment, the orcs' painstakingly built shipyard was reduced to ruins, and the escort ships in the shipyard became scrap metal before they could even take off for test voyages.

Following this, a series of high-energy explosive bundles buried underground were detonated remotely, destroying the riverbeds of two underground rivers in one fell swoop.

The Blood Cow warlords were thrown into turmoil.

A small group of orcs ran to the ground and shouted at the armed shuttles in the air, only to be torn to shreds by machine gun fire.

Most of the orc boys and farts were ordered by the Khorne orcs to stay underground and dare not show their faces on the surface.

These guys were determined to be cowards, using rubble to block the cave entrance and urgently repairing the riverbed underground.

The fact that Li Nuo didn't instantly kill the Khorne orcs doesn't mean he likes these orcs who don't belong to him running rampant on his territory.

In his plan, the Orc Destroyer Guard was his, and the Orc warlords on Apimatt DE should also be his.

The game features a dual-track system involving orcs and space guards. Orcs grow stronger through combat, while space guards accumulate merit and hone their combat skills through battles.

This is like stepping on your right foot with your left, achieving a spiral ascent to heaven.

Chaos orcs and the like should stay out of it.

So, at the same time that the four companies of the Space Guard launched their attack, Leno possessed Bond XVII and quietly appeared on Planet Apimatt DE.

He silently approached the orc's blue fire furnace, a miniature cation bomb clutched in his hand.

This cation is not enough to destroy the Blue Flame Furnace, but it can trigger a massive power outage.

The cation flow would travel along the pipes of the blue flame furnace, spreading from the orc's engine room to all places that needed electricity, overloading the electrical equipment along the way in a very short time.

Without electricity, the orcs rely on promethium lamps for lighting. The burning of promethium lamps consumes oxygen, and the underground environment is relatively enclosed, so the extensive use of promethium lamps would cause oxygen deficiency.

Orcs can live in low-oxygen or even oxygen-free environments, but at the cost of a significant decrease in their combat effectiveness.

They only have two paths ahead of them.

Either open the cave entrance to obtain oxygen from the outside world.

They either have to endure the lack of oxygen and the confined environment, and bear Li Nuo's other methods.

In short, no one understands orcs better than Li Nuo, and no one can cower in his territory.

"Boom!"

An explosion occurred, and a golden-white cation storm burst open above the blue-fired furnace, forming a small cation cloud.

The cloud extended downwards and came into contact with the outer shell of the blue-fired furnace, causing crackling electric sparks to burst forth.

"Buzz!"

The roar of electrophoresis spread outwards, plunging everything in its path into darkness.

The green lights went out, the machine shop came to a standstill, the engineering machinery used to stabilize the riverbed went on strike, and the tech tyrant, corrupted by chaos, was howling in desperation.

The orcs were thrown into chaos as darkness fell, and only gradually calmed down when the promethium lamps were lit.

The tech expert and the young technician rushed to repair the Blue Flame Furnace, only to be shocked to find that the scrap materials used for the repair were missing.

"What happened?! Where did that clump of wires I left here go?!"

The red-skinned tech tyrant roared in fury, grabbed the technician boy by the neck, and sprayed smear all over him:
"Tell me! Did you steal my power cord, you little brat!"

"I thought they should be right here." The young technician scratched his head, completely baffled, before the tech tycoon crushed his head.

Tech Master's eyes were bloodshot, his fighting spirit ignited by the smell of blood. He grabbed another Technician Kid and loudly interrogated him.

Li Nuo hid in the shadows, secretly took out a bottle of alchemical potion, uncorked it, and let the potion evaporate quickly.

The colorless and odorless medicinal mist spread out with the airflow and was inhaled by the Tech Master, who was on the verge of exploding.

A second later, the Tech Master suddenly attacked, swinging his mechanical claws like a madman and hacking and slashing at the surrounding Technician Kids.

"Go to hell! Go to hell! All of you go to hell! You can't even watch over a bunch of electrical wires! What use are you to me!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The young technicians inhaled the alchemical mist and went into a berserk state, engaging in indiscriminate slaughter.

The Blood Bull Guards, who rushed to the scene upon hearing the commotion, intended to stop the internal strife, but after inhaling the alchemical mist, they launched a relentless charge against the Tech Master.

The power hammer accelerates under the influence of the magnetic field, and the buzzing electrophoresis sound is so loud it makes your scalp tingle.

"boom!"

"puff!"

With a heavy blow, the master's head exploded, and blood splattered all over the field.

The crimson blood stained the orcs' vision, and their battle cries rose higher and higher with each passing wave.

More and more orcs arrived, and the massive melee grew rapidly like a snowball.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Chop, chop, chop!"

"Eat my big stick!"

"I snagged the tech giant's robotic arm! Click click click!"

The chaotic battleground welcomed the leader of the Blood Bull Warlord.

Standing three meters tall, with shoulders three meters wide and a waist circumference of three meters, this enormous behemoth caused the group of young men to pause in their tracks.

Blood Bull stared with his scarlet eyes, wanting to obey the will within him to stop the farce, but suddenly felt a surge of anger rush to his head.

Its expression became incredibly complex, sometimes revealing a fighting spirit, and other times showing a frosty expression and cold eyes.

The demon within its body continuously outputs some kind of spiritual energy, suppressing the tank's fighting instincts.

Seeing this, Li Nuo took out more alchemical potions without saying a word.

The concentration of the drug in the air increased dramatically.

Finally, he cried out, "Aaaaaah! I'm going to kill you all!!!"

Blood Bull roared to the sky, rampaging relentlessly, his two heavy hammers dancing like a whirlwind, leaving the scene a bloody mess.

"Very good, very good, simply wonderful! 'Berserker Spirit' truly lives up to its reputation as a valuable item that I redeemed with 30 points."

Li Nuo chuckled and quietly retreated, leaving behind a scene of death and furious howls in the engine room.

Kill! Slash!

Today is the day of your death, you Chaos Orcs!
quack quack!
As Li Nuo moved, he spread "Berserker Spirits," gradually transforming the underground cave into a slaughterhouse. Everything was proceeding smoothly until some latent factor was activated by the killing, at which point things started to get interesting.

What corrupts the blood bull warlords is Khorne, and the Khorne demon always grows stronger in melee combat.

The prolonged, high-intensity slaughter has led to a transformation in the Blood Bull and its guards.

As blood flowed like a river in the underground cave, eight red-skinned orcs, as tall as short mountains, stood amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The leader was an astonishingly tall man, standing at five meters, radiating intense heat, and his breath was thick with heat and the smell of blood.

The seven red-skinned orcs behind it were slightly inferior, but they were still over four meters tall.

The eight orcs devoured the corpses on the ground, completely unaware that shrimp had already surrounded them.

"Holy crap, such a huge red-skinned orc?! These guys seem to be getting more and more mutated."

Wick was the first to step into the second underground level where the red-skinned orcs were located, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise on the internal communication channel.

Mona accessed the data from the orc prediction expert and discovered a worrying situation:

"Prediction accuracy has dropped, and response time has increased from 100 milliseconds to 500 milliseconds. Don't let your guard down. Although I don't know why the orcs suddenly fell into infighting and suffered heavy losses, I have a feeling that these eight red-skinned orcs alone could wipe out most of us."

Leia marked the red-skinned orc's weapon in her holographic vision:

"Look, even after their size has increased dramatically, they are still only equipped with metal power hammers that accelerate based on magnetic fields. This is actually unexpected good news. I thought these red-skinned orcs would use mini nuclear bombs after they grew up."

Mona stared at the weapon in the red-skinned orc's hand for a moment, then made up her mind and said in the channel:

"Attention all companies, there are eight highly threatening hostile targets on site. We will continue to use the shield warfare protocol. Activate vehicle-mounted void shields and magnetic field jamming devices."

"receive."

The armored vehicle stopped, and the Void Shield launcher on its roof projected a spherical barrier. The sound of surging energy startled the red-skinned orcs.

Eight imposing figures stood up, their crimson eyes fixed on the shrimp, their thick throats bobbing up and down.

Thirst, rage, slaughter.

In just an instant, everyone felt an immense killing intent that seemed to have a tangible presence.

"Fire!" Mona shouted the order.

“Bang bang bang bang bang bang————”

"Da da da da da da——————"

"Rumble rumble rumble—"

The vehicle-mounted machine guns and heavy bombardment guns roared, a torrent of bullets swept horizontally across the red-skinned orcs, and high-explosive grenades exploded one after another, the violent sonic waves impacting every corner.

A strange scene appeared.

The bullets and shrapnel struck the red-skinned orc's body but failed to cause any injury; instead, they were bounced off by the orc's tough skin.

Mona's heart sank. She turned her head and exchanged a glance with Wick and Leia. The three of them looked at each other with shock and confusion.

"Terrifying physical defense. I wonder if armor made from this orc's leather could also stop bullets."

Wick muttered to himself.

Léa said:
"When the red-skinned orc deflected the bullet, I didn't detect any suspicious psionic signals. What about you?"

Mona shook her head slightly. "I don't have any either. This is probably a defense mechanism based on physiological mechanisms, rather than psionic energy. Let's use Gauss weapons; hopefully, the radioactive metal particles can penetrate the enemy's biological armor."

The armored vehicles behind received orders to tow the Gauss gun emplacement to the front line.

Before the Gauss weapon could even take effect, eight crimson figures burst forward, their giant hammers whirling wildly in their hands.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The power hammer accelerated under the influence of the magnetic field. The shrimp's magnetic field jammer instantly disintegrated the magnetic field surrounding the hammer head, but the power hammer's power remained undiminished, causing dense ripples to appear on the void shield.

"Why weren't their hammers transferred into the warp by the Void Shield?" Mona was stunned, as was the Mechanic who was controlling the Void Shield from behind.

Leia, being bold, actually stepped forward to try and scan the unusual features of the power hammer:

"Cover me, I'll use the oracle to scan them up close... Wait a minute! I know what's going on! It's psionic energy! These red-skinned orcs have psionic energy! Some kind of psionic field is protecting their bodies and weapons!"

Wick laughed heartily:
"Then what are we waiting for! Install the anti-psychic device!"

Mona immediately gave the order.

The anti-psychic device is in defensive mode, automatically responding to attacks.

The mechanical priest manually activated the device, aiming at eight red-skinned orcs frantically pounding on the void shield and spraying them with aerosol-like anti-psychic medium.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle——————"

Milky white mist descended from the sky, enveloping the red-skinned orcs.

The next second, the heavy weapon, which had been in a state of activation, suddenly sent the bullet into the body of the red-skinned orc!

"Puff puff puff puff puff——————"

Blood blossoms and red rain filled the sky as eight red-skinned orcs, who had once shielded the enemy from a hail of bullets with their skin, were torn apart, crushed, and pulverized in an instant by the raging storm.

"Hahaha! We won!"

"These red-skinned orcs look pretty scary, but it turns out they can only hold their own against heavy weapons thanks to their psionic abilities!"

"Without psionic energy, they're just spineless wimps!"

The crowd cheered.

Mona said coldly:
"Watch out! The enemy isn't completely dead yet!"

The noisy communication channel quieted down, and everyone then noticed that the red-skinned orc's corpse was wriggling.

It looked like something was burrowing out from their bellies.

Wick pondered for a moment and said:
"Don't you guys think this scene looks a bit like a side effect of the Ghost Potion? If I remember correctly, one side effect of drinking too much Ghost Potion is that monsters crawl out of your stomach."

These words reminded Mona.

"Launch anti-phantom medium to cover the red-skinned orc corpses, then incinerate them with molten weapons. Hurry!"

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle ————" White aerosol splashed out, and flames shot out from the hot melt gun on the heavy weapons platform.

Flames burned through the red-skinned orc's belly, a thick stench filled the air, and a strange, dark red creature crawled out of the corpse.

White aerosols possess remarkably high heat resistance.

The mist it created enveloped the monster, and the ensuing shrill screams sent chills down the spines of everyone present.

“Ahhhhh——————”

Everyone's foreheads were swollen, and they were dizzy, swaying as if they were in a raging storm. Some even had blood flowing from their nasal passages and blood spurting from their eyes.

The cries that ignored the Void Shield and the armor came quickly and went even faster.

In just a few seconds, the monster turned to ashes in the flames and vanished completely, along with the agonizing screams that pierced the depths of the soul.

Wick was panting heavily, still shaken.
"Mona, do you...do you remember how Tarenso died?"

Mona's expression was grave as she slowly nodded:
“I remember. When Apimatt was clearing out the cultists from the bottom nest, we encountered a similar cry near the cultists’ headquarters. The cry burned out the electronic components in Tarenso’s body, severely damaged his central nervous system, and he died on the spot.”

Leia didn't know who Tarenso was, but she did notice something unusual about his cries:

“Look at the psionic readings. When that cry came out, the psionic readings reached the Delta level. Could this be a kind of psionic energy originating from a monster?”

Wick nodded and replied, "Yes, that should be the case. When we encountered the screams that time, the psionic signals were also clearly abnormal."

Li Nuo, who was hiding in the shadows, witnessed the scene of the three whispering.

After confirming the deaths of the remaining eight Khorne orcs and the demons within them, Li Nuo retrieved the alchemical potion in his hand and steadily retreated, moving away from the battlefield.

Li Nuo was naturally pleased that his men had successfully defeated the orcs.

But at the same time, he also had some worries.

The demon that appears to have died is not truly dead.

They are merely projections of the demonic entity in the real universe.

When a demonic projection dies in the real universe, it returns to the warp with its memories of the time before death and merges with its original body, which then receives everything about the projection.

In other words, from the moment the Orc Destroyer used the anti-psychic device, the demons knew of its existence, but only a very few people in the human Empire, such as the Emperor and Makador, who understood the truth about the warp, knew this.

The Orc Destroyers may not win so easily next time they encounter demons, and casualties will be inevitable.

"You yellow weasel, you yellow weasel, what are you thinking? I sold you so many single crystals, and you didn't use them to repair the entrance to the Webway, fine, but why did you have to show them off? Showing the anti-psychic device to the demons so early is creating huge hidden dangers for yourself. Wouldn't it have been better to save this device for when Terra is surrounded?"

Li Nuo had a hundred questions he couldn't understand.
