This Brevis is far more interesting than Lynn had imagined.
Being the governor of this planet is far more interesting than being a pirate plundering biomass in space.
He removed the chip and put it back in the box along with the letter of recommendation.
"Let's go," he said, turning around.
"We went back to the restaurant, ate, and talked. I need to know more about my planet."
He deliberately emphasized the word "my".
After all, now the entire Song Offering, besides the remaining human forces, only has the Rena Swarm left.
The Genestealer was the first to be wiped out by the swarm, and the Chaos Cultist was also dealt with.
As for Valak, the moment he learned of the arrival of the Rena Swarm, he had already fled into the Webway tunnels.
He could take even a tiny bit of the stuff from the Song Offering back with him and potentially cause a huge upheaval in the Dark Eldar ' capital city, Commorragh.
The three left the room and returned to the once luxurious but now chaotic restaurant.
Lynn had the Genestealer chef use ingredients from the ship to fry a synthetic meat steak.
He sat in the head seat, elegantly cutting a piece of steak with his knife and fork, putting it into his mouth, chewing slowly, and savoring it.
It must be said that the food these nobles ate was far more delicious than nutritional paste.
"Tell me," Lynn swallowed his food, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and looked at Kerry with his purple eyes.
" Brevis, tell me everything you know."
The tone was commanding.
But Kerry knew that resistance was pointless.
He glanced at his wife, who looked utterly despondent beside him, and then at the shadow cast on Lynn's shoulder.
He sighed and began to speak:
" Brevis is a Hive World located in the Segmentum Obscurus, in the Lixis System at the very edge of the Calixis Sector."
It was originally an Industrial World with a highly developed mining and manufacturing sector.
However, it encountered the same problems as many overdeveloped planets: explosive population growth, over-exploitation of resources, and severe environmental pollution...
Kerry's voice was hoarse, but his mind gradually cleared. After all, this was his "future" territory, and he had done a lot of research.
"Later, after evaluation by the Imperium Administratum and the Adeptus Mechanicus, it was determined that it was no longer suitable for the continued operation of the Industrial World."
This spurred a transformation, and it is now a typical Hive World with a terrible surface environment.
Today, over 60 percent of Brevis is high-altitude permafrost ice fields, and 10 percent is polluted ocean and rivers.
Less than 25% of the plains and mountains are truly habitable.
Kerry paused for a moment, then continued:
"Besides Brevis, the Lixis System also has a small agricultural planet Dorito."
"And two desolate planets with extremely harsh environments and no potential for development."
"Moreover, due to the frequent Warp Storm around the Silis System, it can be considered a semi- Cage Star System."
In addition, Brevis's remote geographical location and unstable shipping routes meant it was almost always in a semi-independent state, resulting in weak Imperium control.
In short, it is a highly autonomous planet.
Lynn listened attentively while slowly eating his steak, understanding the situation perfectly.
Indeed, these remote, isolated planets are most prone to developing local separatism.
If one could become the governor here and wield real power, it would be no different from being a local tyrant.
"But..." Kerry's tone suddenly shifted, becoming somewhat hesitant.
Lynn stopped cutting the meat. "But what?"
"However, sir, Brevis's situation may be more complicated than it appears on paper."
He paused for a moment, gathered his thoughts, and continued:
"About two years ago, a large-scale Ork Boyz invasion broke out on the Agri World of Dorito in the Lixis System."
It started as just a small, scattered gang of kids. Brevis sent the Planetary Defense Force to suppress them, thinking it would be an easy task...
Kerry's voice lowered, tinged with lingering fear:
"But those Ork Boyz, they reproduce and evolve too quickly."
In just a few months, the scattered groups have come together to form a real army!
A Orks warlord rose to power during that chaotic war; he was said to be quite special.
"Special?" A hint of curiosity flashed in Lynn's eyes.
"Yes, especially." Kerry nodded.
"It is said that the warlord had an extraordinary obsession with 'eating'."
The land of Dorito is fertile and rich in resources. After he conquered the planet, he did not just destroy it like the other Orks.
Instead, they forced Orks slaves to breed large numbers of Squig for food.
Lynn raised an eyebrow; this was indeed quite unusual.
Most Orks warlords are only concerned with fighting and creating bigger waaaaagh!
But this warlord seems to have some business acumen?
"As a result, the Ork Boyz under his command became somewhat different from other Ork Boyz."
Kerry continued, "They are generally larger and stronger."
"And I heard they'll even hold 'eating contests' to see who can eat the most..."
" Dorito was completely taken over a year ago."
Kerry's tone was full of disappointment, as if he had lost an Agri World.
Although Lynn wanted to yell at him about what he was so disappointed about, she didn't interrupt him.
"Without Dorito's supplies, Brevis's food supply immediately faced a huge gap."
" Brevis lost almost 30% of its population in just one year." Kerry seemed somewhat sorrowful.
"What's worse, the Ork Boyz were not content with an agricultural planet."
Just one month after Dorito fell, the Orks army began a probing attack on Brevis.
It started as small-scale harassment, but later escalated into a large-scale landing attack.
Now, according to the last message I received before I set off, most of the ice fields on Brevis Prime have been conquered.
The two sides are locked in a stalemate along the main defensive line in the central part of the continent.
Lynn listened, quickly analyzing the situation in his mind.
A Orks warlord with the special ability of the Waaagh! Field and who knows how to manage logistics.
With the addition of a stronger army of Orks, Brevis managed to wage a protracted war against them for over a year.
He looked at Kerry and asked the crucial question:
"Given the Orks ' reproductive and war potential, how could Brevis, an isolated Hive World, possibly hold out for a year?"
This is the most unreasonable part.
In the Warhammer universe, once the Orks form a true Waaaagh!
Its destructive power grows exponentially.
A Hive World a remote star system, without the strong support of the Imperial Navy or the intervention of the Space Marine Chapter.
How could he single-handedly fight against a rising Orks warlord for a year?
This is simply unbelievable.
