Warhammer: Empire Reboot

Three light Necromancer cruisers that couldn't dodge in time were smashed to pieces on the spot, while another heavy cruiser went out of control and rolled over due to the gravitational disturbance, crashing directly into the main gun firing range of a friendly Graveyard ship.

The Sotec fleet's battle lines were torn apart.

Although the vast majority of the main graveyard ships avoided direct impact by using inertial-free jumps, the originally tightly packed fire network was divided into dozens of isolated war zones by two hundred rampaging war objects.

The firing range is obstructed, the coordinates are chaotic, and the risk of friendly fire has increased dramatically.

Inside the Temple of Domination, the Emperor stared at the almost absurd three-dimensional star map, remaining silent for a long time.

After a long pause, the Lord of Humanity turned his head: "Using two hundred combat moons as the first wave of light assault troops... Lawson, your ruthlessness in tactical planning has indeed set a precedent."

Lawson calmly said, "Warfare is based on deception. Using heavy hammers to break through formations is the most cost-effective method."

"Blockage mission accomplished. Moon sequence, retreat across the entire area."

The swarm command has been issued.

The battle moon, raging amidst the necromancy, began to slow down, opening a subspace evacuation passage.

Their mission was not to engage the main undead force, but merely to disrupt the enemy's tactical formation and create firing opportunities.

In deep space millions of kilometers away, the main human fleet, which had already completed its multi-layered formation, simultaneously activated its global fire control matrix.

The Zhenyue-class, Lueguang-class, and Fenxing-class warships formed a three-dimensional, staggered formation, advancing layer by layer from deep space.

The Sotec fleet demonstrated a fierce counterattack capability.

The surviving Kane-class graveyard ships cut across the Imperial formation at high speed amidst the chaos, their ghastly green lightning beams piercing through several Lightbringer-class ships and even vaporizing the port side armor of a Zhenyue-class ship.

However, the Necromancer commander soon discovered that localized tactical destruction was simply not enough to stop the collapse of the defensive line.

As soon as a gap appeared in the damage of the front-line warships, the warships of the same type waiting in the rear were smoothly replaced within seconds under the scheduling of the swarm algorithm, and the firepower network was restored.

Further away, wave after wave of reinforcement fleets from the rear naval ports broke free from the jump, and the main battle formations of the Empire stretched endlessly across the star map.

The Empire did not give the undead fleet any time to regroup.

The front row exerts strong pressure, the flanks are locked down, and the rear is covered by heavy artillery.

Before the chaos left by the battle moon had subsided, the human main fleet had already pushed in through the breach.

The Sotec fleet's prized self-healing living metal and highly maneuverable penetration capabilities are constantly failing under the all-encompassing saturation of energy.

They can dodge the first wave of light spears and heal themselves from a physical wound, but they cannot cope with precise bombardment from all directions while trapped in a deadly situation.

The battle lasted for nine standard hours.

The Sotec fleet ultimately failed to regain control of the battlefield, and the remaining graveyard ships could only withdraw from the combat zone in batches after losing nearly 80% of their warships by initiating inertial-free jumps.

The Empire achieved a complete victory in the first battle!

……

The complete battle data was on the desks of Silent King Szarek and Stormlord Imotek within hours.

In the ensuing battles, the Necromancer fleet quickly made tactical adjustments.

By increasing the distance between ships, the Graveyard Ship maintained a hot start without inertia throughout the entire process, and pre-deployed space oscillation beacons targeting celestial-class jumps outside the combat zone.

Lawson also did not repeat the same tactic of using the Moon Charge.

The two sides engaged in a regular interstellar war of attrition across several star systems.

The Necromancer fleet still possesses tactical lethality, while the Empire's new fleet continues to suffer casualties.

The overall trend of the war, however, was tilting in favor of the empire.

Because the human empire of today is least afraid of industrial exchange.

The sinking of a Necromancer's main tomb ship signifies the loss of an artifact that had been passed down for 60 million years.

Meanwhile, an Imperial Zhenyue-class battlecruiser was destroyed, and the damage list was sent to the automated foundries of Mars and the Five Hundred Worlds that same day. After fine-tuning the production parameters, a new ship of the same type will soon be coming off the dry dock.

The battle has entered its third week.

King Szarek the Silent and Lord Imotek the Stormlord have made peace.

Continuing the civil war has become pointless.

Because the human empire was actually beating them up at the same time.

Three galaxies were lost in three weeks.

The space war ended in a crushing defeat, and the ground war offered no hope to the Necromancers either.

After gaining control of deep space in three star systems, the Imperial main fleet lowered its orbital altitude, and a massive number of landing barges and airdrop pods tore through the thin atmosphere to deliver supplies to the awakened tomb worlds.

The Imperial High Command did not deploy regular Astral Army legions for the first round of ground assaults.

The first batch of creatures to crash into the scorched earth were all from the [Combat Sequence].

Tomb 23 World

Millions of undead warriors surged to the surface from the underground elevator shafts.

The Gauss stripper rifle was raised, and a ghastly green energy curtain illuminated the landing zone, which spanned thousands of square kilometers.

Several Imperial assault armored vehicles that had just detached from the transport pods had not even finished warming up their engines when the composite armor on the front of the vehicles began to peel off layer by layer under the decomposition of Gaussian rays, losing their physical defense within a few microseconds.

However, the core logic of the undead army quickly detected the anomaly.

The first batch of combat units did not use parachutes or deceleration thrusters at all.

They crashed into the core of the necromancer array from thousands of meters in the air, like meteors!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Hundreds of dark gold figures crashed into the ground, and the shockwave sent all the undead soldiers within a hundred meters flying.

Before the shattered necromancer could complete its phase posture reconstruction, a combat-order soldier grabbed the alloy spine of a necromancer infantryman with one hand and tore the entire multi-ton living metal body in two.

The remaining combat units charged forward despite the Gaussian fire.

The energy deflection shield on the surface of the armor was violently flashed by the Gaussian rays, and the damaged armor was quickly filled and repaired with the support of the swarm of nanomaterials.

The two sides quickly engaged in close-quarters combat.

The physical strength of the Primitive-level peak demonstrated a one-sided crushing victory.

A powerful punch shattered the metal chest cavity.

The combat boots crushed the mechanical spine.

Five fingers gripped the necromancer commander's face like hydraulic clamps, crushing it along with the internal high-dimensional core processor.

……

Following closely behind the battle to tear open the breach in the position was the Space Marine Legion, which had completed its equipment upgrade.

With the analysis of the physical constants of the Void Dragon and the engineering optimization of UR-025, the new generation of Astartes powered armor incorporates a second set of highly conductive bionic nerve bundles and an ultra-dense composite energy-absorbing layer, greatly enhancing the individual soldier's resistance to attack.

The weapon systems have also undergone targeted upgrades.

Faced with the self-repairing enemies of space necromancy, a large number of Astartes have been equipped with Phase Disintegration Bullets, Plasma High-Frequency Burning Guns, and Short-Range Gravity Collapse Cannons, which are specifically designed to counter living metal.

The Necromancers, who once required a company to pay a heavy price to besiege and kill in the old imperial era, have had their technological advantage wiped out by today's targeted firepower.

The sky grew increasingly dark.

An unmanned mechanical army descended from the track.

Large anti-gravity heavy artillery fortresses hovered hundreds of meters above the ground to carry out targeted eliminations, while swarms of micro-drones swept through the low sky like a storm, hunting down any undead machines attempting to reassemble.

Heavier war machines then entered the fray.

The Mechanicus's [Warrior-class Titan] shattered the industrial ruins.

Beside it, an Ark Eldar Phantom Titan moved at high speed through the ruins, its Bone Cannon tearing through the deflection shields on the outer layer of the Necromancer Obelisk time and again.

On the rear positions, the Wotan heavy mass projectile artillery group launched a salvo.

What truly caused the undead army to collapse was a special piece of equipment.

That was a new technology called the Necromancer Phase Protocol Interference Device, which the Void Dragon had deployed to Lawson on the eve of the war.

When the combat sequence activated it at the front line, a low-frequency gravitational disturbance immediately appeared in the real space within a radius of thirty kilometers.

This disturbance has no impact on normal communications between humans and allies, and is undetectable by ordinary instruments.

However, within the command chain of the space necromancer, it was nothing short of a logical storm.

The Necromancer Army's underlying communication protocol is experiencing delays.

The tactical instructions received by the lower-level undead warriors began to be misaligned and disconnected.

Most critically, the phase jump coordinate parameters are distorted.

The Destroyer squads, which were originally supposed to penetrate the rear of the Empire's lines, often landed hundreds of meters or even kilometers off their intended targets, plunging directly into the feet of heavily armored Titans or into dense anti-gravity fire nets.

The tomb technicians kept trying to reset the encrypted frequency band, but the interference field kept biting into the underlying protocol.

[Effective coverage radius of the interference field: 30 kilometers]

[Necromantic Legion Command Protocol Synchronization Efficiency Decreased: 31.4%]

[Phase transition landing stability decreased by 28.7%]

[Enemy's overall combat strength index reduced by approximately 30%]

Void Dragons are among the beings in the Star God Era that are closest to the essence of mechanics and technology.

Although the Necromancers turned the tables and enslaved the Star Gods, a large amount of their own technology was also developed during that era.

It's unrealistic to expect the Void Dragons to completely crack all Necromancer technologies, but finding a way to partially disrupt the Necromancer protocol isn't difficult.

Moreover, there's UR-025 right next to it.

And so this thing came about.

The empire gave it an official designation.

The soldiers on the front lines quickly gave it another name.

"A metal misfire."

……

As the interference fields merged into one, the Necromancer Legion lost its prized phase maneuvering and coordination capabilities.
