The structure of Carl II can be roughly divided into three regions.

The outer region, also called the proliferation region, occupies half of the current volume of Carl II.

This is part of the Orks expansion project, pieced together from scrap materials and metal sheets.

Everywhere you look, there are the Ork Boyz ' shacks, stew pots, junkyards, and messy weapon stations.

The newly grown Orks will be left here to fend for themselves; those that survive will be incorporated into combat units.

The place is chaotic, noisy, and reeks of foul odors, and the defenses are relatively lax.

The middle zone, which is the original outer area of Carl II Space Station.

This is the Orks ' main defensive area, as well as their workshops and warehouses.

The defenses became tighter, with fixed patrols and sentry posts, as well as various fortifications and heavy weaponry.

The Mekboy kids are here hammering and tinkering, building tanks and weapons.

Various parts were piled up like mountains, and there were welding sparks and ear-piercing noises everywhere.

The core area, the original core part of the space station.

This is the territory of those big Orks guys, and also a key location for storing important supplies.

The defenses were tight, the passages were narrow, and there were traps and secret passages everywhere.

Ordinary Orks are not allowed to enter; only the big guys and elites are permitted.

But Lictor and Ymgarl easily infiltrated the middle zone.

Their camouflage was too perfect.

Lictor can achieve perfect optical cloaking, Ymgarl can transform into various decorations or objects in the environment.

The Orks patrols passed by them without noticing anything at all.

The Sicarian Infiltrators had it just as easy.

They are extremely fast, and their armor also possesses optical stealth capabilities.

Their extensive combat experience, combined with top-notch environmental sensors, allows them to instantly analyze and determine the optimal route.

They moved through the passage like the wind, each strike taking the life of a Orks before vanishing without a trace.

Two infiltration teams unexpectedly met in a passageway in the middle layer of the area.

The Sicarian Infiltrators ' detectors picked up those unusual organic signals.

In the noisy space station, it is difficult to distinguish specific information by relying solely on hearing and sight.

However, their equipment can separate and display different voiceprints, even when they detect a voiceprint that doesn't belong to the space station at all.

The ten members of the Sicarian Infiltrators immediately stopped, standing motionless like statues.

Soon, three Lictor entered their area.

When the two were still twenty meters apart, Lictor also stopped.

The cloaking abilities of the Sicarian Infiltrators might be considered top-tier in the Imperium, but they're nothing special to Lictor.

The two sides stood facing off for a fraction of a second.

The Sicarian Infiltrators struck first, firing his dart gun as five other infiltrators, armed with Power Sword, followed closely behind.

But Lictor was faster and his attack arrived first despite being slower.

Chitinous claws instantly tore open an infiltrator's breastplate, but the infiltrator's Power Sword also pierced Lictor's abdomen at the same time.

Metal collides with the shell, sparks fly.

The battle lasted less than ten seconds.

Three Lictor, one seriously injured, retreated.

Five Sicarian Infiltrators were killed; the rest continued onward.

They tacitly agreed not to fight again, because both sides knew that now was not the time for a decisive battle.

Their target is the core area.

There are multiple entrances to the core area.

The Sicarian Infiltrators were the first to arrive.

They used Melta Cutter to cut open a large alloy door and filed in.

But before they could explore further, the fleet command lost all signals from the infiltrators in a short period of time.

They didn't even have time to report what had happened.

It wasn't that they didn't have time to report, but rather that they couldn't contact headquarters.

Not long after entering the core area, a team of infiltrators felt that they were being watched by something.

It wasn't the naked eye or an electronic camera; it felt more like my inner thoughts were being spied on.

Suddenly, a bolt of Psychic Power Lightning struck from the darkness, turning an infiltrator into a charred corpse.

The Psychic Power flames spontaneously combusted among the crowd, instantly igniting the five infiltrators. Losing their sense of pain, they could only numbly await their death.

The other four infiltrators tried to escape, but felt an unseen hand grab their necks, twisting their metal spines into pretzels.

In just one minute, nearly a hundred Sicarian Infiltrators were wiped out using roughly the same method.

They couldn't even see the enemy clearly.

Lictor sensed the deaths outside the core area.

They didn't go in.

Using their Tyranids instincts, they sensed the terrifying power that had just permeated the core area.

Psychic Power.

Powerful Psychic Power.

A Lictor cautiously extended a tentacle to probe for any lingering fluctuations of Psychic Power.

Just a little bit was enough; then it retracted its tentacles, turned, and left.

They withdrew from Carl II in one go.

Because it has already obtained enough information.

Within the core area, there are at least fifty Psychic Power units.

They are scattered throughout key locations, scanning every intruder with their Psychic Power senses.

No living being with any thought processes can escape their detection.

And their leader, the strongest Psyker, was sitting in the deepest part of the core area.

That was an extremely rare Orks one.

When the intelligence reached Luna, her expression changed.

" Orks Psyker?"

"Yes, sir." This was a Tzeentch Cultist had managed to escape.

Although their infiltration was slow, they managed to obtain some useful information in the core area thanks to Psychic Power shielding.

"There are at least double-digit numbers of Psychic Power units scattered throughout the core area."

"Moreover, it seems there's a Psychic Power Boss stationed deep within."

"They used their Psychic Power senses to scan everything that entered the core area, so we dared not go any deeper."

Luna did not answer.

Psychic Power Boy, that's extremely rare among the Orks.

Orks are generally not very sensitive to Psychic Power, but occasionally mutated individuals can sense the existence of the Warp and awaken Psychic Power power.

These Psychic Power Boy are seen as "freaks" and outcasts by the other Orks, who both respect and shun them.

But if a Psychic Power Boy grows strong enough to overpower other Psychic Power Boy, he can become the Psychic Power Boss.

This thing is harder to deal with than a regular Warboss.

Because it not only possesses power and intelligence, but also the ability to employ sophisticated Psychic Power techniques.

Realizing there was some trouble, Luna didn't rush to issue further orders.

She needs some help from Him.
