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

Chapter 304 Slaying the War Boss
"Respected envoy, may I ask your name?"

“My orc name is ‘Space,’ you can just call me Speth.”

Li Nuo casually recited the Gothic name he had prepared in advance: Speth is a Gothic transliteration of the word "space," simple and easy to remember.

As Li Nuo finished his self-introduction, the system text appeared.

The mission "Meeting Sebastian" has been completed.

[Mission Reward: Palu Teleportation Portal Diameter +100 meters, all rewards have been distributed.]

You have triggered a new quest from the God-Emperor:

Title: Sebastian's Request.

[Description: Please listen to Sebastian's request and help him solve his problem as much as possible.]

[Mission Reward: Paru Warehouse Capacity +100 cubic meters.]

Li Nuo glanced at the text on the panel and asked:

"Sebastian, let's get straight to the point. What insurmountable problem have you encountered? Just tell me."

"My lord, the Holy Light Alliance is in dire straits. Our territory is being devoured, and our people are dying. I implore you, slay the war leader of the Chaos Orcs..."

Sebastian didn't mince words and stated his request directly.

He displayed a portrait on the psionic screen, which was a giant orc about 20 meters tall, wearing the standard armor of the Beast King's personal guard.

According to Sebastian, he learned from the God-Emperor the whole story of Eldar exiling Urg, and he also knew the origin of this Chaos Beast King.

The concept of sub-universes is not a secret among the middle and upper echelons of the Holy Light Federation; many of those present had heard of it.

After Ulgri was banished to the rebellious subverse, one of his former royal guards stepped forward to continue commanding the Chaos Orcs.

This guard, named "Ula Man," proclaimed himself the war leader of the Chaos Orc army.

All the Chaos Orcs came with the Void Whale.

They were carried in the mouths of Void Whales and smuggled into the Apostate Era sub-universe, where they connected with the local Orcs and integrated their forces in a savage and brutal manner.

As of now, Ulaman has eight orc warlords under his command, with a total of nearly four million troops and only about fifty warships.

They occupied a dead star sector near the Holy Light Alliance, where they built shipyards, megalithic space fortresses, and ships, constantly plundering the Holy Light Alliance's territory.

Sebastian suggested a decapitation strike followed by the elimination of key Chaos Orcs, which would cause the Chaos Orcs to fall into infighting over command.

Li Nuo approved of the plan.

Within the orcs, the strong are respected.

Before a powerful orc emerges capable of suppressing all beasts, the orcs will inevitably go through a period of internal strife.

As long as the strong among the Chaos Orcs are periodically eliminated, the Chaos Orcs will continue to fight amongst themselves, and the Holy Light Alliance can take this opportunity to focus its attention on dealing with the Cult of Omniscience.

Sebastian revealed a star map:
"Look here, Lord Speth. Our supply convoy will arrive at the military space station fighting the Cult of Omniscience in six days. According to reliable intelligence, Ulaman will personally lead a fleet to attack our supply convoy. I implore you to slay the evil Chaos Orc warlord before the supply convoy suffers heavy losses."

The map shows the territory of the Holy Light Federation.

This civilian organization, which rebels against the state religion, the cult of omniscience, and the Chaos Orcs, is located in the northeastern corner of the Misty Starfield, relatively close to the Midrak Expansion Zone.

The state church's bishop, Van Diehl, defected to the Church of Omniscience, leaving the state church in a state of chaos. No new bishop has emerged yet, and the church fleet is concentrated in the Solar Starfield, not coming to attack the Holy Light Alliance.

The headquarters of the Omniscient God Cult is in the Ultramarines sector of the Far East, which is also the home sector of the Ultramarines.

It's ridiculous, but that's the reality right now.

Ever since Guilliman began corrupting things while he was asleep, the Ultramarines have been falling to the side of Chaos at an unimaginable speed.

The Pope of the Omniscient God, Loka; the Chief Priest, Van Diehl; the Steward of the Household and Commander-in-Chief of the Guardians, Robert Guilliman; the Chief Judge, Conrad Coz; the Principal Choir Singer, Fugraim; and Magnus and Horus, who were not yet fully corrupted, were all located in Utralama.

Those operating within and outside the territory of the Holy Light Union are mostly expeditionary fleets of the Omniscient God Cult.

It's obvious that the Cult of Omniscience is mass-producing troops in Ultramar, preparing a "surprise" for the Holy Light Alliance and Terra.

Li Nuo felt it was necessary to go there and check the situation, even though the God Emperor had not issued such a mission.

“I will help you kill Ulaman. In addition, I plan to send a reconnaissance team to gather intelligence on Altrama, which will require you to provide a frigate.”

"No problem, Your Excellency. Blitzkrieg Fleet No. 30 will be at your service. You can freely choose your sailors and ships within the fleet. For specific details, you can discuss them with Stein; he will fulfill all your requests."

Sebastian paused, then said anxiously:

"However, there is something you must know. The warp in the Far East region is being disturbed by the Chaos Enemy, and warp storms and turbulence are frequent. Please make thorough preparations before you set off."

"Okay, I understand. Thanks for reminding me."

Li Nuo and Sebastian discussed some details, focusing on the battlefield's artillery fire and shockwaves.

The psychic ritual ended, Sebastian's portrait disappeared, and Blitzkrieg Squadron 30 forced the enemy back with a salvo and quickly left the battlefield.

Moments later, in a corner untouched by the war, Blitzkrieg Fleet No. 30 departed from its brief warp voyage and lingered in the void.

Lino met the fleet commander, Stein, on the bridge.

"I need a Sword-class frigate, no crew, no food or fresh water."

Li Nuo pointed to an old frigate outside the porthole:
"That one, then."

Stein followed the other person's fingertip and paused for a moment:
“No problem. In the name of the Divine Emperor, I am willing to do everything in my power to help you. But do you really not need crew and supplies? That escort ship needs at least 3000 skilled sailors and 5 mechanical priests to sail properly…”

Li Nuo waved his hand:
"No need, don't worry, I have plenty of manpower to help me navigate the ship. I'll arrange the navigator, star communicator, fire control chief, and other ship officers myself. You just need to withdraw the existing personnel."

Stein paused again, glancing around the orc but not seeing the manpower he had mentioned.

However, since the Emperor's envoy has said so, I should stop worrying about the crew and supplies.

Stein activated the sonic array device and relayed the order for the personnel on the Sword-class frigates to disperse and transfer to other ships.

Li Nuo boarded the frigate via a shuttle and arrived at the bridge.

After all the shrimps left, he opened the interface of the Palu warehouse and started operating it.

You are retrieving the following items:

[1. Blood Raven Boy Rapid Growth Set x1000.]

[2. Blood Raven Fart Sprite Work Set x10.]

[3. Blood Crow's Fart Spawn Reproductive Spores x10.]

[4. "Super Growth Agent" x10.]

The total volume of the above items is 100 cubic meters.

The basic single-crystal consumption for extracting the above items is 100 * 100 = 1 tons.

[You are in the Apostate Era sub-universe; single crystal consumption +100%.]

The final consumption of single crystals is 2 tons.

Should we remove it?

Palu Garden currently has a monocrystalline silicon production capacity of 5 tons per day.

The consumption of 2 tons was just a drop in the bucket, and Li Nuo clicked to confirm without even thinking about it.

The interface of the Paru Warehouse projects beams of light onto the open space on the bridge.

A rich white light shone on the floor.

When the light faded, 10020 glass jars and 10 rectangular metal boxes appeared.

Li Nuo picked up the reproductive spores of the Blood Raven Farsling and the "Super Growth Agent" and manually reproduced the Farslings that were now doing hard labor.

In 10 minutes, 10 Blood Raven Demons, each over a meter tall, appeared.

Li Nuo waved his hand and gave the order:
"Go, open the metal box, put on your work suit, and use the Blood Raven Boy Rapid Growth Suit to plant Blood Raven Mushrooms for me. Hurry up."

"Okay, boss."

The Blood Ravens were eager to get started, and they all opened the metal boxes, took out the mechanical arms and mechanical backpacks inside, and put them on.

They picked up a dozen or so glass bottles from the ground and ran to the corner of the bridge and the corridor outside the bridge, where they cultivated mushrooms in the glass bottles in the open space.

These Blood Ravens have undergone highly precise genetic modification, giving them the ability to rapidly cultivate Orc Mushrooms.

Their movements were swift and skillful; they completed the planting of the Blood Raven mushrooms in just three hours.

After that, there was a 48-hour period of intensive watering and fertilization.

The 10 Blood Raven Demons were busy working, constantly running around, but they didn't make any mistakes despite their busy schedules.

An hour later, 200 Blood Ravens with Technician Kid gene fragments took the lead and began to inspect and make simple modifications to the ship.

Another hour passed, and the ship's armory was remodeled. The small pieces of equipment and weapons inside were cleared out and handed over to the 30th Blitzkrieg Fleet.

The crew members who came to receive the weapons and equipment stared wide-eyed as if they had seen a ghost when they saw the Blood Raven Boy who appeared out of nowhere.

Blood Raven Boy was dressed in a simple work suit with two mechanical arms extending from his back. He also carried a mechanical backpack containing various tools and wore green goggles and an engineering helmet.

After exchanging greetings with the shrimp-like crew, they left without a word, handing over the weapons and equipment, their actions decisive and swift, without any hesitation. The Emperor's special envoy's ability to create weapons out of thin air left the 30th Blitzkrieg Fleet speechless with astonishment, and the choir in the Star Language Hall sang prayers with great excitement.

The choir's singing was transmitted into the frigate through a sound array device.

Li Nuo manually turned off the speakers inside the ship and continued his "mushroom-growing" work.

The mushrooms he personally cultivated were not Blood Raven Boys, but rather All-Round Boys without the Stupid Boys' gene fragments.

This Palu beastman grew into an adult within 24 hours.

Li Nuo extracted his brain and implanted it into the first generation of bacteria, Stadt—that is, the Black Knight—in order to control the Black Knight.

Although the Black Knight was the first generation of Junstadt, its performance parameters in all aspects far exceeded those of the old members of the Paru Empire such as Space, Beast, and Zarg, and it was only slightly inferior to Elon.

The all-monocrystalline armor grants the Black Knight nearly 100% energy and chaos resistance, as well as over 95% physical resistance.

When used in conjunction with the Palu Psionic Field, the Black Knight's Chaos Resistance is locked at 100%, making him completely immune to the positive and negative effects of the subspace, while also not affecting his Energy Resistance and Physical Resistance.

Without the Light spell, the original laser weapon became unusable, so Lino replaced the Black Knight's weapon with a Gauss weapon.

The Black Knight's Palu Field can neutralize the Chaos Orcs' psionic field, causing them to lose their psionic protection, making the Gauss Weapon sufficient to end the Chaos Orcs' lives.

The fully armed Black Knight will replace the God Emperor's envoy to slay the Chaos Orcs' war leader.

Li Nuo then possessed space and, together with the Blood Ravens, went to Altrama to gather intelligence.

After some preparations, the third day arrived.

The Black Knight was fully prepared, and Lino piloted it onto the command ship of Blitzkrieg Fleet No. 30.

The fleet immediately set off to join the Holy Light Alliance's supply convoy.

Stein was curious about the Black Knight, who was completely shrouded in a black cloak, but he didn't ask any further questions.

Li Nuo controlled the Black Knight, entered the VIP room to rest, and then switched his consciousness back to his body in space.

The frigate's overhaul and modification work has been completed, and the navigation computer, fire control system, and Auger matrix have been modified to the mode commonly used by Blood Raven Boys.

After the Blitzkrieg Fleet No. 30 departed, Blood Raven Boy's escort ship also entered the warp and began sailing towards Alteramar.

The situation in the Far East region was exactly as Sebastian had described.

As soon as the frigate entered the subspace corresponding to the Far East star system, it encountered a massive subspace turbulence.

Subspace energy formed a violent "crosswind" that blew in from the right side of the frigate, violently and roughly lifting it up and dragging it away, forcing it to deviate from its original course.

With just this one roll and one drag, the frigate's course changed dramatically.

"Boss, I have some bad news for you."

The glittering boy, in charge of subspace navigation, exhaled a string of bubbles from the amniotic fluid tank and said:
"The subspace turbulence has held us back. We now have only two choices. Either we continue to be held back by the subspace turbulence until it subsides, or we have no choice but to forcibly leave the subspace and enter the real universe."

Li Nuo frowned slightly, staring at the violent blue subspace energy outside the porthole, and had the illusion that he was on the sea.

This subspace turbulence is like ocean currents.

Once small fish and shrimp in the sea are swept into ocean currents, they can only be swept away or tossed aside by the currents; they have virtually no chance of escaping the currents on their own.

The situation is similar for frigates.

The difference is that the frigate can forcibly open the subspace exit and return to the real universe.

"If we return to the real universe now, where will we appear?"

Li Nuo pondered for a moment before asking.

The glittering boy closed his eyes and observed for a moment:
"Boss, I don't know where we'll be after we get out. This warp turbulence is as chaotic as the hairs in Skull, it's almost blinding me."

Li Nuo thought that it was because the boy's "skill" was not good enough that he couldn't see the road clearly.

He possessed the body of the shimmering boy and observed the subspace firsthand.

Holy crap!

Upon seeing this, he almost threw up his dinner from the night before.

A system message popped up.

Subspace interference detected.

[You will need to consume Universal Psionic Materials to resist the interference; the estimated consumption is 999 billion units.]

The current quantity of universal psionic materials is 920 per 1000 units.

[Will it consume approximately 9999 million tons of single crystals to obtain 999 billion units of universal psionic material?]

Monocrystalline silicon inventory stands at 102 million tons.

One ton of single crystal can increase the limit of universal psionic materials by 100 units, and at the same time obtain the corresponding number of universal psionic materials.

The consumption of 9999 million tons is something that even if Li Nuo were to sell his company, he still couldn't afford.

Li Nuo simply transferred his consciousness to space and stopped struggling:
"Let's just float in the warp for now. Maintaining warp turbulence of this scale is extremely energy-intensive, and I don't believe the blue-feathered bird has that much energy to squander. Humph!"

And so, the frigate became a lone boat adrift in the turbulent currents of subspace, going wherever it was headed.

When in the Apostate Era sub-universe, Lino will automatically return to Apimette in the Rebellion Era sub-universe after Waagh ends.

It requires no additional single crystal and has no sluggishness, which is quite amazing.

The three Terra days were spent in Apimatt and the Paru Empire.

That night, as Lino possessed the sorcerer boy Sak and studied biological weapons and armor, the war leader of the Chaos Orcs appeared in the Black Knight's perspective.

[Archived File: Black Knight #19]

[Briefing: After rendezvous with the supply convoy, Blitzkrieg Flotilla No. 30 will proceed together to the Holy Light Alliance's Equatorial Large Military Space Station.]

Just now, the supply convoy arrived at the space station, followed by the Chaos Orc fleet. The Holy Light Alliance is engaged in fierce combat with the enemy.

[The war's leader, Ula Man, is personally leading a boarding operation, attacking the space station's first line of defense.]

Li Nuo breathed a slight sigh of relief, put down the experimental report in his hand, and read the save file of Black Knight No. 19.

The consciousness switched instantly, and a thunderous explosion penetrated the layers of cabins and walls, turning into a deep rumble that echoed in the VIP lounge.

After adjusting to the Black Knight's body, Li Nuo pushed open the door and stepped out, just in time to encounter the human soldiers who came to guide him.

They are the Astral Army within the territory of the Holy Light Alliance.

Having changed their faith, they no longer followed the Terran Military Department, which had been infiltrated by the state religion, and completely embraced the Holy Light Federation.

In the era of the Great Expedition, such a thing would definitely land someone on the gallows.

However, since the establishment of the state religion, faith has gradually taken precedence over secular order, and it seems somewhat reasonable for the Star Army to pledge allegiance to the Holy Light Alliance in the name of the God Emperor.

Li Nuo does not intend to delve into the sociological implications of this.

He waved to disperse the Federation soldiers and left alone without saying a word.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the strange creature, completely shrouded in a black cloak, vanished without a trace, leaving not even the slightest mark.

From the beginning until now, no one knows whether this creature is human or beastman.

On the front lines of the space station battle.

The Ula Man, who is over 20 meters tall, crushed the shrimp with overwhelming force.

Machine gun turrets couldn't penetrate its armor and red skin, psionic lightning bolts could only tickle it, and the magma cannons on heavy weapon platforms were smashed to pieces by its flying hammer.

The supplies for the supply fleet were plundered by the Chaos Orcs, and the shrimp's corpse, an important food source for the Chaos Orcs, naturally could not escape their clutches either.

With the front line on the verge of collapse, the frontline commander had no choice but to order a retreat to the middle defensive line of the space station.

At that moment, a dark shadow appeared out of nowhere above Ula Man's head.

It was only one-sixth the size of Ulaman, but it pierced straight into Ulaman's helmet like a sharp dagger.

The armor and red skin that could withstand gunfire were utterly powerless against this dark figure, as if made of paper, and were cut in half with a single sword strike.

"Zzzzzzzzz——————"

A strange, jarring noise echoed throughout the scene, and the Gaussian longsword emitted a bright green light as its blade grew from just over a meter to five meters in length.

The green sword light sliced ​​through Ula Man from top to bottom.

After the shadowy figure landed, Gauss's longsword lost its light, and both the man and the sword vanished from the spot. The giant orc corpse that had been cleaved in two by the sword slowly cracked open, crashed to the ground, and created a sonic boom.

Before anyone could react, the dark figure reappeared in mid-air, flashing with green light.

"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"

Four leaping attacks and heavy strikes killed four of Ulaman's personal guards instantly, greatly reducing the pressure on the Holy Light Alliance.

Only then did the frontline commander come to his senses:
"Sebastian's special envoy to the God-Emperor has helped us eliminate those five damned orcs! Praise be to the God-Emperor! Bless Terra! Fire! Open fire! For the God-Emperor!"

"Da da da da da da da——————"
