Warhammer: Empire Reboot

But the assassin simply kicked his severed arm aside, continued to pull the trigger with his remaining right hand until the magazine was empty, then drew his chainsaw sword from his waist with one hand, stepped over the shield, and cleaved a mutant trying to cross the mountain of corpses in two.

Throughout the entire exchange, the soldier's facial expression remained as if carved from stone.

This is a fighting spirit that transcends the psychological limits of ordinary people.

This is an execution that completely violates the biological instinct for survival.

Katarina turned her head and looked at Thorne.

The Grand Marshal of the Ministry of Justice froze. He understood the true value of this army; such fighting spirit and zero-delay tactical coordination were not something any known imperial training system could produce.

Governor Cassius couldn't even understand the tactical logic on the screen; all he knew was that the black-armored soldiers were monsters.

Katarina looked at Lawson again.

Her eyes changed.

The last vestige of doubt about Lawson's identity was completely shattered at this moment.

Twenty thousand people resisted twelve million.

She couldn't think of any other explanation for the existence that could command such an army except that it directly obeyed the supreme will of the Golden Throne.

"grown ups."

Katarina knelt on one knee again. This time, her kneeling posture was completely different from that of a few days ago in the church. That time, it was a political choice made under pressure; this time, it was a heartfelt surrender as a warrior of the Empire to absolute power.

"All my previous doubts about you were due to my foolishness and shortsightedness. Please forgive me."

PS: The previous book was the first Alliance Master awarded by the great woofer, and this book is the first Alliance Master awarded by the great woofer again. What have I done to deserve this honor?

I updated 2.7 words first, and I'll update another 1.6 words today. Thank you.

Chapter 102 Resources cannot be wasted, take the initiative (Thanks to woofer for being the patron)

Lawson looked at the Sister Captain kneeling before him.

“Get up. Go to the front lines. You will find enough heretics there to purify.”

Katarina stood up, the four nuns performed the Eagle Salute, and she turned and walked out of the hall.

Lawson turned his head and his gaze fell on Thorne.

"Thorn".

"exist."

"The source of the riots was that the safety valve in the bottom wastewater pipeline was deliberately cut off. All three nests were involved simultaneously. Investigate."

Thorne bowed slightly: "The Ministry of Justice will investigate this matter thoroughly."

Lawson did not continue the topic.

Now is not the time for reckoning. Once the last mutant on the front lines falls and all 400,000 points of subspace energy are in his account, he will have plenty of time and means to uncover every worm hidden beneath every rock on this planet.

He turned around and closed his eyes.

The numbers on the panel were still changing.

+1. +1. +1. +1.

Each +1 signifies the end of thirty mutated lives.

Each +1 brings him one step closer to the threshold of the fourth-order leap.

The swarm intelligence mechanism continuously transmits data back from the front lines.

Non-combat suicide soldiers act as nodes to quantify information.

[Battle Summary: Over the past four standard Terran times, the PDF Defenders, relying on static defense arrays, have killed approximately four million Nurgle mutated mobs. Defense line integrity: 98.7%.]

The defense line is as solid as a rock.

Millions of mutants cannot cross the line.

"Ok?"

Lawson quickly realized something was wrong with the income, so he pulled up the system's underlying earnings log.

Gray lines of data scrolled across my retina:

[Source of income: None. The killer is determined to be a non-system-related unit. Therefore, it will not be counted.]

[Source of income: None. The killer is determined to be a non-system-related unit. Therefore, it will not be counted.]

[Source of income: None...]

So that's how it is. This is completely in line with the usual logic—only direct or indirect kills by the host and the assassins exchanged by the system will generate system benefits.

The Planetary Defense Forces (PDF) are the Empire's regular mortal army.

The laser guns and mortars in their hands have no underlying code connection to the suicide squad system.

Over the past four hours, twelve million PDF soldiers, under the command of four thousand suicide officers, have unleashed hundreds of millions of rounds of ammunition, turning millions of Nagle thugs into mincemeat.

They did an excellent job.

However, according to the system's assessment, these four million kills were nothing more than a voluntary labor performed by these mortals for the emperor.

It's reasonable, but extremely regrettable.

Four million Nargous, based on the system's previously given poor exchange rate of "thirty for one," would amount to 130,000 points of subspace energy.

The 130,000-point force promoted more than a thousand platoon-level soldiers to company commander level.

Now, this enormous resource has simply evaporated into the universe because of the voluntary labor of PDF.

Lawson leaned back in his chair.

Nothing that can be recorded should be wasted.

Letting the remaining eight million scoundrels go is tantamount to a crime.

"Change global tactical commands."

Lawson's thoughts directly accessed the highest-level console of the swarm intelligence.

"Except for the existing defensive personnel at each PDF defense zone node and the reserved emergency fire brigade, which remain unchanged."

"The remaining 20,000 mobile suicide soldiers are all released from static defense restrictions and are put into full-scale offensive mode."

"Target all three nests deep within the base of the nest, and slaughter all Nurgle thugs with any signs of life."

Lawson set the tactical tone.

"Tactical target priority ranking".

"First: Maximize slaughter efficiency. Abandon defensive formations and switch to a full-scale annihilation."

"Second: Compress the battle line. Push the mutants into the waste liquid pool and sedimentation area at the deepest part of the bottom nest."

"Third: Prioritize targeting and eliminating high-ranking demons."

Once the command is issued, swarm intelligence completes the underlying parsing of the command.

The massive biological computer began operating at full power.

The environmental temperature, humidity, air velocity, and building structural load-bearing data collected by 80,000 non-combatant zombies scattered throughout the hives over the past 48 hours were overlaid with the three-dimensional structural maps of the three hives archived in the Thinker Array of the Ministry of Justice.

A three-nest synchronous purification plan, precise down to each suicide squad, each sewage channel, and each second-level time point, was generated in the swarm network.

This plan abandons traditional positional warfare and attrition warfare.

The core logic is singular: to conduct an assembly-line-level industrialized harvesting operation with a speed of advance and an absolute density of firepower that transcends human comprehension.

Twenty thousand mobile suicide squads were reorganized.

1号巢都，原变异体基数550万，残余约250万。底层地形以重工业废弃通道和巨型熔炼炉为主。兵力分配：8000人。包含18台白虎动力甲、400名连长级死士、5000名排长级死士、2600名队长级死士。

2号巢都，原变异体基数380万，残余约180万。底层地形以废旧化工厂、化学蓄水池和复杂的管道网络为主。兵力分配：7000人。包含15台白虎动力甲、350名连长级死士、4500名排长级死士、2150名队长级死士。

3号巢都。原变异体基数270万，残余约70万。底层地形最为复杂，充斥着密集的违建贫民窟、通风竖井和立体迷宫。兵力分配：5000人。包含12台白虎动力甲、250名连长级死士、3500名排长级死士、1250名队长级死士。

The swarm intelligence mechanism simultaneously pushed tactical templates to 20,000 brains.

In the instant of manifestation, the cerebral cortex of each assassin has received absolutely precise, personalized action instructions.

Swarm intelligence generates three tactical templates for the distinctly different terrains of the bottom nest.

The first tactical template: [Iron Curtain Advance].

Application scenarios: Main thoroughfares 20 to 50 meters wide, large industrial corridors, and heavy freight transport belts. In such terrain, thugs often lose cover and launch mindless charges in dense crowds of tens of thousands.

Tactical logic: Absolute crushing victory in a head-on confrontation.

The three stages of advancement were set at a speed of 2 kilometers per hour to flatten the bottom nest trunk at a uniform speed.

The second tactical template: [Hive Cut].

Application scenarios: Densely built-up areas, illegal slums, and worker housing. A three-dimensional maze constructed from scrap metal, plastic steel, and plastic sheeting. Narrow passages, multiple layers, and countless dead ends. Frontal advance efficiency approaches zero.

Tactical logic: Cut first, then clean up microscopically.

The extremely chaotic three-dimensional maze-like alleyway battles were simplified by the computing power of swarm intelligence into a series of standardized miniature check-in tasks for clearing single rooms.

The third tactical template: [Circular Harvest].

Large abandoned factories, natural underground cavities, and underground cooling lakes. These spaces range in size from hundreds to thousands of meters, with domes reaching dozens of stories high. Nurgle thugs often gather in these vast spaces, forming massive communities of tens of thousands to perform sacrifices or rest.

Tactical logic: concentric circle compression and encirclement.

Execution steps: Multiple squads at the platoon leader level simultaneously enter from different abandoned passages and exhaust vents connecting the cavity. Under the microsecond-level scheduling of swarm intelligence, they form a huge and gradually shrinking concentric circle encircling the cavity.

Heavy weapons were deployed at the outer nodes, forming an inward-facing fire blockade to prevent any mutants from breaking through the gaps in the encirclement.

The overall advance pauses once every 100-meter reduction in the radius of the encirclement.

A concentrated barrage of fire lasting thirty seconds was launched to clear the area.

The living space for rioters was compressed, and their density increased exponentially.

When the density reaches a critical value, area-effect weapons are deployed. High-frequency molten metal grenades, fragmentation grenades, and captured promethium flamethrowers are used to indiscriminately cover the core area.

Final stage.

White Tiger Power Armor charged into the core area to carry out close-quarters combat and eliminate enemies.
