Chapter 1808 Tactical Re-engraving (Today the temperature suddenly reached 18 degrees)

Looking at the human-shaped illusion in front of him, Duanmu Huai folded his arms and looked at him leisurely.

Players have many comments about the Emperor, some good and some bad. Of course, most of them are negative.

For example, his act of creating the Primarchs was seen by many players as a superfluous act and was deemed unnecessary. Some players also said that if this idiot had not been so arrogant as to proactively make a deal with the Chaos God and think he could backfire on him, perhaps humans would not have been noticed by the Chaos God so early.

Moreover, almost every choice the Emperor made was later proven to be wrong.

Every time he thought something was going according to plan, it turned out that nothing was going according to plan.

The Primarch Project and the Webway are a good example of this.

So unlike the people in this world who can't move when they see the Emperor, the players look at the Emperor as if they are looking at an idiot with the word failure written all over his body. There is even a joke that if the Emperor asks you to do something, you just need to do the opposite and you will succeed.

But now, he only has this small piece left.

"Should I say long time no see? It's amazing that you can hide here for so long, and even hide under the noses of the creditors. You are really good. I think if the creditors knew that the debtor they have been chasing for money was hiding under their noses and eating and drinking for free, they would be furious."

“………………I knew you would come.”

"Yes, yes, yes, less prophecy, I've had enough of that nonsense."

Duanmu Huai interrupted the emperor's typical mumbling.

"I just came to investigate what's left on this alien-occupied planet, but I didn't expect to find such a pleasant surprise. This is really great. Of course, don't expect me to take you out with tears in my eyes and let this world be illuminated by the Emperor again. It's almost made you an idiot. I say, you should just stay here and continue counting your sheep."

"It's very dangerous for you to come here."

"Technically speaking, I'm not here in person, so it doesn't matter."

Duanmuhuai waved his hand.

"And I brought a lot of melta bombs, enough to blow this planet up. But after seeing you, I came up with a plan."

"plan?"

"Yes, we have always wanted to deal with the Eye of Terror, but it is too difficult. The largest toilet in the galaxy is spewing feces all the time, and no civilized person would be willing to do this kind of sewer work. Strictly speaking, I don't want to do it either. Fortunately, I thought of a group of guys who are willing to work hard and do this kind of work."

"You mean the aliens."

The Emperor certainly knew what Duanmu Huai was talking about. He was not on this battleship for nothing. Duanmu Huai even suspected that the Emperor often used his psychic powers to spy on the women in the hive city while they were bathing to relieve their boredom.

"Hmm, it seems you know a lot. In fact, the Hive Fleet had a battle nearby before, but in the end... I still defeated them."

"They won't come near here."

The Emperor shook his head.

"Like you said, for those alien swarms, they need energy that they can devour, digest, and transform. And this place cannot provide them with what they need."

"I'm not an idiot. Of course I know this kind of basic knowledge."

Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.

"How exactly should I do it... Well, after seeing you, I suddenly thought of an interesting plan."

The wonderful encounter on this planet immediately made Duanmu Huai start thinking. Of course, strictly speaking, he didn't like to think that much. Duanmu Huai's tactics have always been simple, and he had no interest in complicated tactics. This time was no different. Before making the final preparations, Duanmu Huai hoped to let the Hive Mind fight for him. The Hive Mind was like a cold and heavy wall in the subspace, and it was one of the few beings that could compete with the Chaos God in the subspace.

If there was the will of the insect nest to take the blame for him in the front, Duanmu Huai would be much more comfortable in the back.

But this is not an easy task. The Zerg does not distinguish between friends and enemies. They only see digestible and indigestible things. And they know very well that demons and chaos are not digestible. These subspace creatures are among the very few things that will cause diarrhea when the Zerg eats them hot instead of being converted into biomass.

Therefore, if Duanmu Huai used this method to lure the will of the hive, then there was a high probability that he would end up being beaten up by the demons and the swarm of insects.

Therefore, Duanmu Huai needs a guy to help who can meet the insect nest's needs for devouring biomass but will not be defeated by the insect nest in a short period of time.

As it happens, there is such a thing in this galaxy...

The only problem is how to lure the other party here.

Fortunately, when he saw the emperor, Duanmu Huai finally thought of a way - he didn't want to use the emperor's almost non-existent divine will to cause trouble, but simply after seeing the emperor, or seeing the golden and glowing thing on his bald Mediterranean forehead, Duanmu Huai suddenly thought of such a thing.

"In that case, I have one more thing to do......"

"That's it, we'll talk later."

Duanmu Huai took his hand back without hesitation and cut off the communication with the other party. Anyway, for Duanmu Huai, he didn't believe anything the emperor said. Based on Duanmu Huai's understanding of the emperor, if this old guy wanted others to do something, it would definitely be a big trap. Whoever believes it is stupid.

Besides, I have important things to do right now and don’t have time to do this.

After that, Duanmu Huai dissolved his clone and returned to his original body.

Then he pressed the communicator.

"An, go call Alicia and the others."

When Alicia, Eden and Padufils came to Duanmu Huai, the three had different expressions. Alicia stared at Duanmu Huai curiously, while Eden was as calm as ever. Only Padufils' eyes wandered around, looking anxious.

"What do you want from us? Inquisitor?"

"That's right. Next, I will lead you to carry out a mission. This mission is very important."

Duanmu Huai nodded, then looked at the cat-eared girl.

"Pattofilis."

"Hey! Here!"

Hearing Duanmu Huai calling her name, Padufilis straightened her body and responded loudly. "Your mission this time is very important. Strictly speaking, our success depends on you."

"Hey? Me? What do you want me to do?"

“Naturally do what you do best.”

Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes, stared at the cat-eared girl, and smiled.

"I want you to steal something."

"Stealing something?"

After hearing this answer, not only was Padufils stunned, but even Alicia and Eden were somewhat surprised. After all, during their journey with the Inquisition, their most profound impression of the Inquisition was that whenever the Inquisition wanted something, it would usually have to rob it.

As for stealing?

This doesn't seem to fit in with the style of the Tribunal?

"I'll tell you what to steal when the time comes."

Duanmuhuai waved his hand.

"So I went with Eden to protect Padofelice?"

"That's right. I will create opportunities and conditions for you. All you have to do is find what I want and bring it out. Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't bring it out. You just have to make sure where the thing is. How about it? Is it okay, Padufils?"

"This... won't be dangerous, right?"

"By the standards of the Inquisition, it's not dangerous, but it's a little troublesome."

What is the standard of the trial court?

Just when Padufils was speechless, Duanmu Huai continued to speak.

"Also, this mission can only succeed and not fail. Everything you do is related to the fate of the entire galaxy and the human world, so I will not accept failure. Moreover, you cannot refuse this mission... You should understand what I mean."

"of course."

Alicia nodded. The Inquisition helped her world resolve the threat of collapse, and she became a member of the Inquisition as a reward. So Alicia was mentally prepared for this day.

"But may I ask, what exactly is it that you are trying to steal?"

"Well...it doesn't matter if I tell you."

Duanmu Huai changed his position in the chair.

"You are going to steal a crown."

"…………………Why?"

What Duanmu Huai asked them to steal was not an ordinary crown, but something called the Orc Crown.

The origin of this thing can be traced back to the 40th millennium, when the Human Empire and the Leviathan Swarm launched a battle known as the Third Hive War. Because the Leviathan Swarm was more aggressive than the previous two wars, the Human Empire had a hard time resisting it.

In order to ease the Zerg's offensive, Inquisitor Capeman, who was in charge of leading the resistance against the Zerg, issued extermination orders to more than 50 Imperial planets, turning them into worthless wastelands. Trillions of people died in this brutal "fortification and clearing the land", and although Capeman's move effectively slowed down the Zerg's invasion, his cruel approach was also labeled as heresy, and he became a wanted member.

However, Capeman did not stop there. In order to save the human empire, he came up with a solution - he found a group of collaborators loyal to him, then used stasis to capture a group of gene stealers and threw them onto the planet of the Orc Empire.

Capeman's logic was very clear. The Zerg was going for the biomass, and if there was anything in the entire galaxy that was more everlasting than the Scum of Corruption and could never die, it would only be the Orks.

So it is better to guide the Zerg to fight the Orcs. In the best case scenario, both sides will be defeated, and the Empire can reap the benefits.

Things started out just as Capeman had thought. After the Zerg discovered the Orcs, they immediately launched a large-scale attack on them. However, unlike other creatures, the Orcs reproduced completely through spores, so it didn't take long for Capeman to find that the situation had changed.

By killing orcs, the Zerg obtained a large amount of biomass to strengthen itself, and the strengthened Zerg attracted the attention of the orcs, who gleefully regarded the Zerg as a target that needed to be WAAAAGH, and the orcs' proliferation was unreasonable. Not only that, the characteristic of orcs was that the more intense the battle, the stronger their reproduction.

Soon, there were more and more orcs, and the insect swarms that ate the orcs also increased. What's more terrible is that because the orcs have the characteristic of becoming smarter as their numbers increase, their civilization development has also increased exponentially. Today they may still use flintlock rifles, but tomorrow they will use plasma.

If you can’t even build a ship today, you’ll be on the War Moon tomorrow.

As a result, the orcs killed more and more, and the zerg devoured more and more orcs, forming a nearly infinite growth spiral.

At this time, Capeman finally realized that he had gone too far. He had originally hoped that both sides would lose, or at least win a narrow victory. But now both sides were getting more and more excited as if they had taken drugs, which made Capeman tremble with fear. If this continued, no matter which side won, it would be a major threat to the empire!

Okay, that’s just background.

Next is the point.

After that, humans sent troops to infiltrate the Orc Empire, and then they found that among the Orcs fighting the Zerg, there was an Orc wearing something like a crown with electric current wrapped around his head. Not only that, this thing can also interfere with the Zerg's command units!

It is precisely because of the existence of this thing that the orcs were able to repel the Zerg's attacks several times.

Naturally, humans who were excited to see the prey were unwilling to let go of such a good thing. They took advantage of the battle between the two sides to suddenly intervene, killed the orc wearing the crown, and snatched the crown.

Then Capeman took the crown to other planets, intending to study the structure of the orc crown in detail.

Unfortunately, no matter how much Capeman studied it, it was useless. This thing can only be effective when worn on the head of an orc. Not only that, the orc crown can also attract other orcs. Just when Capeman was studying the crown, the orc fleet followed, obviously intending to take back the crown.

The two sides fought a fierce battle, Capeman could not escape, and the Orc Crown disappeared - at least that was what the history recorded at the time.

However, it so happens that the location of the Orc Crown is not a secret to players.

In fact, because of the "monster-luring" property of the Orc Crown, it is often used by players in large-scale guild wars. The guild that once held the crown would secretly bring the crown to the enemy guild's territory, and then attract the Orc fleet to attack the enemy guild's territory, and then suddenly attack the enemy guild when it is beaten to a pulp and loses its way, and cleans it up along with the Orc fleet.

Of course, the crown was later stolen by someone from another guild, and changed hands several times, each time producing miraculous effects in guild wars.

So much so that later, whenever the guild discovered an orc fleet inexplicably appearing on its border, the first thing it would do was search its own territory and capture the guy holding the orc crown.

For a lone wolf like Duanmu Huai, stories about large-scale guild wars were just for fun, but the location of this orc crown... well, he actually knew where it was.

And now, as a judge, Duanmu Huai plans to replicate the tactics of his predecessors.
