Chapter 687 Undercover Agent!

While Galil was swiftly spreading the challenge throughout the wilderness, Lin Hui was not idle either.

He was sitting comfortably on the sofa, his gaze calmly fixed on Leonard on the other side of the holographic screen.

"Commander, are all the preparations complete?"

On the other end of the screen, Leonard nodded slightly. "I've also arranged for promotion in various cities regarding the duel between Hollie and Gugor, and it will be broadcast live simultaneously."

Lin Hui nodded in satisfaction.

Huo Lie's [Power of His Thinking] has an upper limit that depends on how others perceive him.

The more people know about him, the more people watch him, and the more people genuinely think he's "awesome," the more terrifying his potential for growth becomes.

Since it's impossible to bring everyone in the empire to the Burial Grounds as an audience, then a live stream across the entire internet is undoubtedly the best way to ignite Huo Lie's specialization abilities.

However, Leonard was clearly not as relaxed as Lin Hui.

He took a deep breath, rubbed his slightly throbbing temples, and asked, "Is Huo Lie really confident he can defeat Gugor? That's a peak 9th-tier green-skinned chieftain!"

Over the years, Leonard has faced off against Gougol several times.

Although they only fought briefly to conserve their strength for dealing with the mechanical Eldar, Leonard was acutely aware of his opponent's formidable physique.

Even he wasn't absolutely certain he could kill him.

"Let Huo Lie face him? What if Gugor goes berserk and does something outrageous..." Leonard frowned. "Should I go and keep watch myself? If Huo Lie can't hold on, I need to be the first to step in and save him!"

Lin Hui smiled and said upon hearing this:

"Commander, you can put your mind at ease."

"Since I dared to send Huo Lie to issue the challenge, I naturally have a certain level of confidence. Even if the plan does go wrong... I have a backup plan!"

Lin Hui's backup plan was to use the Divine Emperor's incarnation and himself.

Both of these points need to be kept secret! They can't be revealed yet!!

Seeing Lin Hui's calm demeanor, Leonard let out a long breath. "Alright!"

Looking back on all the extraordinary things Lin Hui has done since his appearance, it seems he has never disappointed anyone.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing," Leonard suddenly said, as if remembering something. "We have an informant next to Gugol."

"Oh?" Lin Hui looked surprised upon hearing this.

Those green-skinned orcs are extremely xenophobic. Apart from their own kind, they see everyone as a walking piece of roast meat. When did the Empire's infiltration capabilities become so strong that they were able to plant spies right next to the Great Chief?

"Who is it?" Lin Hui asked with great interest.

Leonard paused for a moment, then slowly said, "I don't know exactly who it is; they contacted us first."

"Oh?" Lin Hui raised an eyebrow. "What are they after?"

Leonard crossed his arms and said, "They say they know Huo Lie, are fans of Huo Lie, and only hope to follow Huo Lie's side in the future!"

A die-hard fan of Huo Lie? In the Greenskin Orc faction? Lin Hui really couldn't think of who it was.

Leonard continued:

"I have already had Galil establish intelligence ties with them."

"If any intelligence comes out, I will have Galil relay it to you immediately. However, you will need to verify the authenticity of the intelligence yourself; I cannot guarantee whether they are double agents."

"Okay, I understand." Lin Hui nodded.

The two then discussed the details of tomorrow's live broadcast for a while.

As the call was about to end, Lin Hui suddenly spoke:

"If... there is any news from Elendina, please let me know immediately."

Leonard nodded emphatically: "No problem!"

......

Torres in near-Earth orbit.

In the deathly silence of deep space, the massive Eldar fleet hovered silently like a sleeping steel behemoth.

One of the dark-colored destroyers on the outskirts is now the headquarters of the Mechanicus.

Inside the destroyer.

A resurrection pyramid, shimmering with an eerie green light, is humming and turning.

"laugh!"

As high-pressure gas was ejected, the bodies of the recently deceased Mechanicus fanatics were reconstructed by living metal and slowly emerged.

They became robots.

At this moment, Pope Clement of the Mechanicus, draped in a wide robe, stood quietly before the pyramid, his red-glowing electronic eyes silently observing everything.

Looking at these resurrected robots, Clement's metal fingers couldn't help but tighten slightly.

too weak.

Compared to the mechanical Eldar warriors, the combat power of the Mechanicus members was negligible.

The reason is simple: they are extremely lacking in various high-tech weapons and equipment.

The combat power of the mechanical race mainly relies on three factors: the level of living metal, the enhancement of technological equipment, and the core strength (mental deflection field).

As an "ally" or "vassal" of the Mechanoid race, the Cult of Mechanoid has only obtained the right to use the "Resurrection Pyramid" and the "Living Metal Furnace".

As for the Gauss weapons, antimatter weapons, dimensional weapons, and quantum shields of the Mech Eldar... I'm sorry, only the Mech Eldar can use them; any other mechanical race will be locked down upon touching them.

These are the underlying rules set by the king of the Mechanical Eldar, a being at the level of a true god.

Of course, this was a condition that Clement already knew during his negotiations with the Eldar leadership.

He had no right to bargain in exchange for a chance to survive the catastrophe.

However, in order for the Mechanicus to truly rise instead of remaining cannon fodder, Clement set his sights on Lin Hui!

In Clement's view, Lin Hui possessed a large amount of advanced mechanical Eldar equipment, living metal, and even... several warships and five silent statues!

The Eldar leadership has promised Clement:

As long as he can get rid of Lin Hui, no matter what means he uses, as long as he brings back the [Silent Statue], he will grant the Cult of Mechanics access to some high-level living metals!

They even gave half of the living metal in Lin Hui's hands to the Mechanical Cult.

Living metal is key to the expansion of the Mechanic Training Corps and the enhancement of its combat capabilities!

Therefore, Clement sent Bishop Lucius to contact Lin Hui.

However, Tutan, the chief engineer of the Mechanical Eldar, has suddenly gone into seclusion these past few days, seemingly preparing for something.

Because of Tutankhamun's seclusion, Clement has yet to obtain the [Mechanical Heart] that he can use to trade with Lin Hui.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Just then, a series of rapid metallic footsteps came from behind.

Lucius, the former bishop of Starshine City, strode up to Clement, knelt on one knee, and presented a piece of intelligence with both hands:

"Holy See! This is an urgent message from a member of the Church. Huo Lie, the leader of the Moon City Warband and a player, has officially issued a challenge to Gugor, the high chieftain of the green-skinned orcs! The decisive battle will take place tomorrow afternoon!"
