Several enormous Digger Serpents avoided the meat grinder at the front and successfully tunneled into the third layer of the Orks' defensive lines!
Their arrival instantly caused mass panic among the Gretchin and Mekboys responsible for logistics and production.

Panic spread through the rear like a plague.
