The cruiser's tactical systems quickly responded to Noah's command, and they began scanning the entire planet, searching for the ork Warlord's whereabouts.
Noah's assessment was correct; this ork Warlord was indeed very cunning.
For some unknown reason, this ork Warlord seemed to know that Noah had always intended to eliminate him.
Therefore, the place he was hiding was extremely clever.
"Waaagh! You'll never find me, ya gits!"
The ork Warboss seemed to have anticipated something, directly ordering his orks to dig a massive underground tunnel for him.
He himself was hiding within this huge underground tunnel, a full 4 kilometers from the surface.
So when Noah saw the ork Warlord's location, he was a bit stunned.
4000 meters?
Looking at the clarity displayed by his scanning system, Noah was once again shocked by the biological nature of the ork species.
A distance of 4 kilometers; if a Disintegration Cannon were used to attack, to melt through 4 kilometers and eliminate the orks below, its Disintegration Cannon power would inevitably need to be increased.
The resulting area of destruction would be unacceptable to Noah.
Don't ask why it's unacceptable; the answer is he's too poor.
He didn't want to bear the huge expenses of post-war reconstruction, and it was clear that the Imperium of Man's administrative system would not supply him with resources.
What was even more frustrating was that he knew very well that the Imperium of Man's tax collection ship would arrive next year.
Not only would he not receive material aid from the Imperium of Man, but he would also have to pay taxes on his resources.
Of course, he could choose not to pay taxes, but then he would encounter the Imperium of Man's fleet.
Noah was not clear about the standard of the Imperium of Man's fleet at this time.
The limited information available to the governor was simply not enough for him to assess the warship level of the entire Imperium of Man.
He did not want to go to war with the Imperium of Man in the short term.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have secretly replaced the governor as he had; he should have directly leveled the entire planet.
Under the interference of numerous factors, Noah had no choice but to adopt the simplest and most cost-effective method.
Personally eliminate the ork Warlord!
Noah slowly stood up from his position, and in an instant, 2000 bodyguard robots appeared beside him.
A 2001-person team to eliminate the ork Warlord!
Noah did not organize his weapons and equipment; he merely unlocked his limiter.
Powerful strength began to emerge within him, a strength capable of splitting mountains and severing rivers.
And the bodyguard robots behind him also demonstrated their combat power after their limiters were unlocked.
They were all Terran Federation bodyguard robots; how could their combat power be inferior to a Scientist like Noah, who could only lift a small mountain of over 600 meters?
It is well known that Scientists do not possess such immense power.
Noah's single-hand strength was merely 300 million tons, and with both hands exerting force and using some techniques, it was only a mere 800 million tons.
Such strength was sufficient for him as a Scientist, but it was insignificant when facing enemies.
The bodyguard robots provided by the Terran Federation to Scientists were different; these bodyguard robots could achieve a single-hand strength of 1 billion tons, and with both hands working together, they could reach 2.8 billion tons.
What's more, once these bodyguard robots were unrestricted, they also had phase Disintegration Cannons in their hands.
During Terran Federation tests, the phase Disintegration Cannon equipped on these bodyguard robots could destroy an asteroid with a diameter of about 80 kilometers with a single shot.
This is why, when these bodyguard robots appeared on the battlefield, they merely swept through the orks without directly using their weapons.
Even when dealing with orks, and when clearing ordinary infantry, they would not use all their power.
They would only use a small, insignificant portion of their power, ensuring that the damaged area was within the acceptable range of their creator.
After all, under normal circumstances, these weapons and powers would not be used.
Because using large-scale destructive weapons or fully deploying the power of several units when fighting on a planetary surface would inevitably result in a ruined planet.
At the same time, they would not be used during scientific expeditions, as they were there for scientific research, not for destructive mayhem.
Unless that planet had undergone an ascension enhancement, it would absolutely not be able to withstand the operations of these units.
Since Noah had not yet engaged the ork Warlord of the orks, he did not know how strong these green creatures actually were.
So, to be safe, he directly mobilized half of his security robots and simultaneously unlocked all their limiters.
Except for large-scale destructive weapons like the phase Disintegration Cannon, ordinary individual combat weapons had all been unlocked.
At the same time, their immense power had also been authorized by Noah for free use.
He believed that with this elite team of 2000, the ork Warlord would surely die by his hand.
Noah thought so; he believed he could defeat a ork Warlord.
Although he was just a Scientist, powerless to fight.
But he should still be able to win, yes!
Noah stood at the entrance of the tunnel leading underground, with two thousand unrestricted Terran Federation bodyguard robots behind him.
The deep tunnel was like the esophagus of a giant beast, emitting a pungent odor mixed with spores and decay.
"Phase scan shows the target is located 4127 meters underground," the mechanical adjutant's voice sounded in the communicator, "The tunnel is filled with ork armies. They seem to know we've come and are preparing to resist."
Noah flexed his wrist, and his nano-battlesuit instantly covered his entire body.
This was a nano-battlesuit he had crafted himself in the past few days, and it could withstand the power of a planetary explosion.
Although theoretically his strength should be sufficient, this was his first combat mission of this kind, so he still couldn't completely overcome his current nervousness—
After all, he was just a "powerless" Scientist.
"Move."
Two thousand and one figures simultaneously leaped into the tunnel.
During the descent, Noah's psionic vision pierced through the darkness, seeing the tunnel walls covered with wriggling mycelium.
These mycelia all indicated to Noah the powerful adaptability and survival ability of these orks; they could truly reproduce anywhere.
"Clear obstacles," he ordered softly.
The two bodyguard robots at the very front and very back of the team raised their palms, and raging flames erupted from their hands; this was a flame reaching 12,000 degrees Celsius.
The inferno swept through the tunnel like a giant dragon, the 12,000-degree high temperature instantly melting the mycelium.
The previously dim passage was also illuminated by these flames, and although the oxygen concentration began to drop sharply, for Noah at this moment, oxygen was not what he needed to survive in the world.
For citizens of the Terran Federation, no matter how harsh the planet, they could move about with ease.
Even without oxygen supply, they would not experience any problems for several months into the future.
This was the concretization of the Terran Federation's genetic engineering creations.
Under the raging flames, even the orks who had intended to rush out and resist Noah were burned to ashes without even showing their faces.
What Noah had originally expected to be a very exciting decapitation operation turned into a straightforward sweep.
