Their sickle-like forelimbs are not sharp, and their carapace-covered bodies are not particularly tough.
But they can move freely in the dark, their presence is everywhere, making it impossible for the Orks to defend against them.
The Orks fought back desperately, brandishing machetes and firing machine guns.
However, poor visibility and the insects' familiarity with the terrain made attacks difficult to be effective.
Moreover, there were far too many insects.
This squad of Orks, numbering over a thousand, was wiped out in less than five minutes.
The big guy lay in a pool of blood, his last thought a single idea:
Are these insects or shrimp?
The other scattered Orks were also attacked by the swarm.
The same scenario unfolds: the lights suddenly go out, and then the player is confronted by Tyranids several times their size, resulting in a brutal massacre.
I didn't see a single shrimp the whole time.
The Orks fleet outside had no idea what was happening.
They only saw more and more transport ships successfully boarding, while the escort ships showed no signs of exploding or being captured.
Some transport ships have even begun to return.
The Orks men scratched their heads, somewhat puzzled.
This doesn't make sense.
The rules for the Orks are: win or die. There's no turning back halfway.
The captain of the Orks cruiser that led the charge was a burly man with a menacing scar on his face.
It first tried to contact the returning transport ships, but found that it could not get in touch with them.
It then began contacting the Battle Barge that had received the returning transport ships.
The voice call connected, but only a jumble of chaotic sounds came from the communicator.
The fighting, the screams, and the howls of some creature that wasn't made of Orks sent chills down one's spine.
"Something's wrong," the Orks captain said.
It instantly realized that the returning transport ships weren't carrying escaped Orks.
It's something else!
"All firepower!" it roared, "Aim at those returning transport ships! Fire!"
But it was too late.
Most of the transport ships have already docked with the Battle Barge.
The moment the docking was completed, the hatch opened, and dark figures surged out, rushing towards the Orks that hadn't even had a chance to react.
Chaos Battle Barge.
They were few in number and not very strong, but they caught the Orks off guard.
Using the poisonous mist released by the Smokers, the swarms waged a guerrilla war against the Orks.
The Battle Barge, now in disarray, are no longer able to move normally.
They all became sitting ducks for the expeditionary fleet.
That was Lynn's real purpose.
Of course, it wasn't just the Battle Barge that suffered.
The expeditionary fleet's escort ships, which had been on the defensive, suddenly began moving toward the Orks cruiser.
"Damn it!" The Orks captain's face turned ashen.
It knew it had fallen into a trap.
The Void Shield on those escort ships were deliberately left unactivated; they were traps set up so the ships would fall into them on their own.
Those insects were lying in ambush on the ship from the very beginning.
They wait for the Orks creatures to board, to walk right into their trap, and then use the returning transport boats to send the insects back to the ship.
Although it couldn't understand why the insects were on the shrimp's boat.
"Retreat!" roared the Orks captain. "Full speed retreat!"
Unlike the traditional Orks, it cherishes its ambition more than anyone else; it also wants to become a ruthless leader like Chandler.
He could build such a huge ship all by himself, and even become the manager of the Carl II.
The Orks cruiser turned around, preparing to flee the battlefield.
But as soon as he turned around, the Orks captain was somewhat bewildered.
Because a Lunar-class Cruiser is blocking their retreat.
This Lunar-class Cruiser is called " Iron Radiance ".
Luna stood on the bridge of the Iron Radiance, watching the Orks cruiser trying to escape, a look of resentment on her face.
She was a little afraid that Lynn might have discovered something.
The Orks rampaged across the Rule of Discipline, while the Skitarii and the Tzeentch Cultist used their lives to stall for time.
Luna had already left the Rule of Discipline and was preparing to retreat.
She absolutely could not let Lynn discover this utter disgrace.
So she had to do something.
Intercepting this cruiser that was trying to escape proves that she didn't back down in the face of battle.
Instead, they devised a meticulously planned scheme.
Everything was going according to her plan!
"Deactivate Void Shield."
"All ships, prepare for boarding action," she ordered.
The officers were somewhat incredulous; how could His Lord Regent have suddenly become so radical?
"My lord, should we deactivate the Void Shield? That would...?"
"Follow my orders."
The officers dared not ask any more questions, and the Void Shield was temporarily deactivated.
On the opposite Orks cruiser, the Orks captain watched this scene with reddened eyes.
It realized that this tiny boat was going to fight it to the death.
Damn it, all I wanted to do was run away, and now everyone dares to mess with me?
Then let's fight!
"Turn off the shield!" it roared.
"Let the shrimps see, we're not cowards either!"
The two cruisers simultaneously deactivated their shields and accelerated toward each other.
boom!!!
At the moment the ships collided, furious battle cries rang out simultaneously from both sides.
This time, Luna personally led the team and stormed into the hull of the Orks cruiser.
She was followed by a dozen or so Tzeentch Sorcerer, each radiating an eerie, multicolored light.
Their Psychic Power spread through the passageways like invisible tentacles, searching for the consciousness of every Orks.
The first big guy who rushed forward froze on the spot when Luna pointed at him.
Its eyes popped out of their sockets, and its green body was reflected in its pupils.
Then its body began to twist and deform, eventually turning into a flower-like shape.
More Orks rushed up.
With the wizards' assistance, the Skitarii faced significantly less pressure.
Brilliant Psychic Power and all sorts of projectiles exploded in the passageway.
The Orks charged forward one after another, then fell with screams of agony.
The Orks captain stood on the ship, watching the shrimps that were counterattacking, his face full of madness.
It knew it couldn't escape, so its fear turned into anger.
Orks animals are not afraid of death.
"Waaaagh!!!" It grabbed a huge machete and charged out.
In its final moments, it saw the shrimp boss who dared not show himself.
She stood at the end of the passage, her whole body enveloped in blue light.
Those emotionless eyes were like two cold, icy gems.
The Orks leader roared and charged forward, raising his machete high.
Luna raised her hand.
A white bolt of Lightning shot from her fingertip, and it felt its blood freeze for a moment.
It stood frozen in place, and several Skitarii, holding oversized guns, aimed at it and pulled the triggers, ending its life.
Meanwhile, more insects landed from the rear of the Orks cruiser.
They attacked the Orks from behind, coordinating with Luna's men to launch a pincer attack.
The battle ended quickly.
That Orks cruiser also fell completely.
Luna stood atop the Iron Radiance, exchanging a glance with a Tyranids from afar.
Both of them saw the disdain in each other's eyes.
Then they turned around in unison, as if they hadn't noticed each other.
