Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 105 Breaking away and cleaning up

The battle on the Black Ship was finally over, especially after the orc leader WarBoss died at the hands of Calvin.

Except for a few of the scattered orc pirates who successfully evacuated by landing craft, most of the orcs could only hide in the cabin or mezzanine of the black ship under the chaos.

For humans, this means that post-war cleanup will be very troublesome.

And the fate of the orcs who successfully escaped will not be any better. Their mothership has been on the verge of collapse in the previous artillery battle and is useless. Meat, it just tastes a little stinky.But there will always be people with good teeth who will be interested in them.

Therefore, whether it was the orcs who successfully evacuated, or the orcs scattered on the black ship, the fate waiting for them was equally bleak and hopeless.

If I have to say it, it is nothing more than the difference between dying sooner or later.

Calvin and the others couldn't care less about these orcs, and under the threat of many unsuspecting pirates behind them, all they can do now is to get out of this terrible area as soon as possible.

Suo Xing's route to the asteroid belt has come to an end; Suo Xing was deterred by the clean and neat rebounding operation, and after carefully weighing the pirates who were about to move, there was no second person who was willing to eat crabs.

"Just let them go?"

On the second day after the battle on the black ship, seeing that the Noble and Dirty is about to sail out of the channel and enter the empty space route, this kind of conversation is happening on a light cruiser of the Aurora Pirates hidden in the rear :
"Otherwise? Do you really want to keep him here?"

"Our task is to keep them!"

"Have you received the money?"

"Received."

"That's the end of it. See how it's broken. We did the best we could."

"But……"

"No, but! His Royal Highness sent us here, and we have our own mission. Could it be that you have forgotten your identity and really regarded yourself as a pirate?"

"Yes!" The female tribal warrior, who bowed her head to show her obedience, looked bitterly at the black ship that was about to be free in the distance after the silence. The flames in her eyes did not go out, but became more vigorous due to the resistance of the superior.

"What are you thinking? Thinking that you will never let them go when you meet them next time?" The hoarse and magnetic voice of the person on the throne came from her black burqa.

"Choose an old enemy and get his head back, this is the freedom of my path. You should respect me, or respect this tradition." The tribe warrior responded.

"But it is also my duty to advise a novice to learn to be good at picking targets."

"Are you doubting my power, or are you denying my destiny?"

"No, I just don't want you to waste time. The ship escaped from our hands, so it doesn't mean that you can sit back and relax..."

"what do you mean?"

"Look. Isn't the greatest gift and curse that fate bestows upon us is a long time?"

The flame of destruction is always easy to ignite, but far more troublesome to extinguish it completely.

Although Calvin and the others were not attacked by new pirate forces in the next three days, they spent all their energy just cleaning up the orcs on the ship who were all-pervasive in order to survive.

"You can never imagine a greenskin hiding anywhere except in a lunch box."

This was Golden's complaint after clearing out the sporadic green skins for 40 hours under the leadership of the maintenance crew who called the police everywhere on the ship.

Then they were delighted to see an exclamation from the canteen chef as he took out the steak which he had previously placed in the oven:
"Abadon's ass! There are green skins here!"

Yes, a freshly baked green skin that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside appeared in the large steak aging cabinet in the cafeteria.

You can even see its last expression before it was alive. There is almost a simple and honest doubt on that supposedly hideous face, as if wondering why it has become so hot here, and why there are so many delicious foods in the big iron box of human shrimps. of……

With the chefs and cafeteria staff yelling, Calvin and Golden looked at each other and shrugged helplessly.

It seems that this black ship is no longer available.At least before returning to the home port for a thorough cleanup, they can't imagine where there won't be these powerful races.

In the eyes of Calvin, who has some understanding of the reproduction and social forms of these life forms, in a certain corner of this cargo ship, it is still uncertain how many fresh mushrooms are growing vigorously...

For this group of orcs, there is such a sentence that can perfectly describe their ecology:
In the spring, you sow an orc; in the fall you can reap a tribe...

But the reality is that the reproductive ability of orcs brought about by the dual attributes of animals and plants is far more exaggerated than this sentence.

In the materials of the Alien Tribunal, this species does not need a complete orc as a seed.

Their adult behavior is animal, but their reproduction is vegetative.

Different from the observation records of all human species before, the spore-like spread like fungi is the way for the orc species to reproduce.

According to records, in some extreme environments that are particularly suitable for their growth, you can even see a bunch of dandruff flying in the wind after a few months because a certain orc stood on the air vent and shaved his scalp. little orc...

So in the vast space, as long as one orc can reach a new planet, it means an endless disaster for the local humans.

Regardless of whether it is alive or dead, as long as it is not ripe (note: fully ripe, half-ripe is not completely inactivated.), then this native seed will quickly take root and germinate.

The whole process of growth does not require any external support, only the most basic photosynthetic environment is enough.

And when the first fruits of those seeds, the Squigs, were born, the Grots and Orc-Kids would follow.

Yes, you read that right.A strain grown from a basic seed will not only produce a product, but a complete social structure from food to servants to combat units!

This is how he is off the mark!
In the name of the Emperor!If this thing evolved naturally, Calvin would have eaten the orc in front of him on the spot!

As for biological weapons, Calvin also came into contact with related concepts in the army in his previous life.

But in terms of the background of his era, the most exaggerated or speculative products that he could understand until his death were still in the era of virus weapons.

This method of thoroughly deploying the genes of a life and using them to breed a race as a weapon of war really gave Calvin a good insight.

And the potential of the Greenskins is not limited to those shown above, what makes them stronger lies in their core strength, which is what they themselves call the Waaaaah position.

This orc-specific psionic power is entirely based on numbers, the more orcs there are, the stronger the Waaaaah.

And the stronger the power of Waaaaaah, the more obvious its interference and acceleration of the reality level.

So as long as the number is sufficient, their overall strength will increase geometrically in a short period of time like a rolling snowball:

The greater the number, the greater the probability of a single powerful individual appearing;

The greater the number, the stronger their psionic Waaaaah field;
And the stronger the Waaaaah force field, the faster their technology advances!
That's right, the technology of the green skins does not rely on research and development like humans.

But the orcs don't need archeology either.They only need the acceleration of the Waaaaah position, or the stimulation of enough waaaaah opponents, and they can develop a technology level similar to that of their opponents in a short period of time!

And when their number is large enough, their Waaaaah force field will exert the same position effect as the will of the swarm on the psionic level.

Moreover, this position can also reversely promote the emergence and evolution of powerful individuals in the entire group.

When this position develops to a certain extent, it can even passively suppress or interfere with the power of other psykers on the entire battlefield!

And this is the aspect that interests Calvin most:
Before these orcs, he could only learn about them through information.The impression and judgment of the so-called Waaaaaah position can only stay in the literal understanding.

And after having a "close contact" with the orcs by chance this time, he really felt some extraordinary means of this species called "Imperial Moss".

And that naturally includes this Waaaaah position.

After experiencing the interference and influence of this position on spiritual energy at close range, Calvin had to pay attention to it. In one sentence:

"Damn it, there's something!"
