Warhammer: Empire Reboot

The movements were smooth and fluid, without any lag.

He threw the purified bomb gun to Number 3.

"yours."

Next comes the assembly line operation.

Lawson directed his assassins to begin systematically processing all the supplies in the armory.

Although a one-cubic-meter armory space is not large, it is more than enough for the purification of a single weapon.

Number 1 and Number 4 were responsible for carrying weapons off the shelf.

Number 2 and Number 5 are responsible for sorting and classifying the purified weapons.

Number 3, carrying his newly acquired bomb gun, continued to stand guard at the door alongside Number 2.

When the last batch of weapons was taken out of the armory and neatly arranged on the floor, Lawson looked at the equipment in front of him and showed a satisfied expression.

Start the allocation process.

"number 1."

Lawson handed Number One a purified Lockheed Martin bomb gun and four fully loaded magazines. Number One had been using the laser gun that had run out of ammo, and now it had finally been upgraded.

"number 2."

Number 2 received a standard MG laser gun, along with three charged magazines and a chainsaw sword.

"number 3."

Number 3 already had the purified bomb gun, and Lawson also gave him a chainsaw sword and a few grenades.

"number 4."

One laser gun, three rechargeable magazines, four grenades, and a well-preserved stainless steel combat dagger.

"number 5."

Number 5 received the power shield.

A clue to becoming stronger has appeared in Chapter 17!

This choice was made after careful consideration by Lawson.

Number 5 is currently the most outstanding in close combat coordination among the five assassins. In previous battles, he has repeatedly demonstrated extremely accurate positioning awareness and tacit cooperation with his teammates to cover for each other.

A power shield can exert its greatest tactical value in his hands, and can withstand a fatal round of fire for the shooters behind him at critical moments.

In addition to the shield, Number 5 also received a laser gun and a chainsaw sword.

As for Lawson himself.

He carefully selected from the pile of weapons in front of him.

In the end, he chose two items.

A standard Imperial-type explosive pistol, a standard Catachan close-combat setup with a knife in the left hand and a gun in the right.

A plasma pistol.

This item made Lawson hesitate for a moment. Plasma weapons can melt through ceramic armor, with penetrating power far exceeding that of explosives and lasers, but they have a well-known fatal flaw: continuous firing can cause them to overheat and explode.

The Empire's technical priests call this phenomenon "the gift of suffering," and if your plasma gun explodes, it's the Emperor testing your faith.

Lawson didn't want his faith to be tested.

But thinking of the twenty or thirty Chaos Space Marines in power armor on that wrecked ship, he still tucked the plasma pistol into his waistband.

Ordinary weapons might not even be able to scratch the paint off power armor, but a single plasma shot can melt through the chest armor.

It's worth the risk.

After the equipment was distributed, Lawson casually opened the system panel to check his current health points.

Current Life Points: 163

That's enough to exchange for a new assassin.

Lawson did not hesitate.

[Consumes: 100 Health Points, 1 Cubic Meters of Refined Steel.]

[Exchange Sequence: Katachon Jungle Warrior *1.]

Inside the ship's weapons depot, the air once again experienced that violent, visible distortion.

Steel melts, bones take shape, flesh and blood develop, skin covers, and military uniforms and equipment are generated simultaneously.

0.1 seconds.

Another burly man from Katachan, standing at 1.95 meters tall, appeared out of nowhere, his right hand pressed against his chest.

"loyalty!"

“Number 6,” Lawson said, looking at him.

Then he made a seemingly strange arrangement.

"Number 6, you stay here."

No doubt about number 6, salute.

Lawson looked at the large amount of supplies remaining in the armory.

One cubic meter of armory space is sufficient for the current scale, but it is far from enough to take away all the weapons and ammunition here.

The shelves also contained a large number of laser guns, charged magazines, grenades, explosives, and various spare parts. These items were left unattended and would eventually be discovered by the Greenskins or further corrupted by the warp.

But if we leave one person here to guard the place...

"Number 6, your task is to guard this armory. While we are out on missions, the ammunition and supplies in the armory will be continuously consumed. Whenever there is spare capacity, you are responsible for loading the remaining weapons here into the armory for purification and replenishment."

Lawson picked up a laser gun and three magazines from the ground and handed them to Number 6: "Survive."

Number 6 took the weapon, hung the laser gun on his chest, and stuffed the magazine into his belt.

"Loyalty, sir."

While waiting for the assassins to organize their equipment, Lawson leaned against the weapon rack, finally finding a little time to study the newly appeared data on the system panel.

His primary focus was on the new resource he had acquired while killing the two lesser demons.

[Subspace Energy: 2 points.]

This is a third type of resource, separate from Life Points and Steel.

Two little devils, each contributing 1 point.

Next to the resource section for subspace energy, the system provides a descriptive text.

[Explanation of Subspace Energy:]

[Source: Pure warp energy purified after slaying warp entities (demons, chaotic creatures, etc.).]

[Note: Unpurified raw subspace energy is extremely dangerous; direct use will lead to chaotic contamination. The system will automatically complete the purification process to ensure the purity of the output energy. Waste generated during the purification process will be stored in the waste storage area.]

[Use 1: Host enhancement.]

[Consuming 1000 subspace energy points allows for a comprehensive physical enhancement and modification of the host. Modifications include, but are not limited to: doubling muscle fiber density, strengthening skeletal structure, improving nerve reaction speed, and optimizing metabolic efficiency.]

Lawson stared at the message for a long time.

It takes 1000 points of subspace energy to fully enhance him.

He currently only has 2 points.

He only gets 1 point for killing a minor demon. So he needs to kill a thousand minor demons?

Or perhaps higher-ranking demons could provide more warp energy?

After all, in the logic of acquiring life points, a fart gives 1 point, and an orc boy gives 10 points, which is then discounted by 30% to 7 points.

By analogy, the amount of warp energy acquired is likely proportional to the demon's level.

One Little Devil is worth 1 point, but what about a Blood Believer? Or a Bloodthirsty Maniac?

This is a path to becoming stronger.

Although the distance between the start and end of this road seems farther than from Terra to the edge of the galaxy, at least it exists.

Although he is still far from that goal, he has finally found the path to becoming stronger!

Where is this? The demons in the galaxy are endless, and as long as his team is strong enough, he can hunt down even more demons.

Will there still be a shortage of chaos points at that time?

Lawson had a hint of anticipation. The physical qualities of the Catachan warriors were already top-tier among mortals. What level could they reach if they continued to strengthen them?

The day when I tear apart the demon prince with my bare hands and kick the Primarch will not be too far away.

"However, we're just getting started, so let's not be impatient. We'll talk about it later." Lawson closed the panel.

The immediate priority is not to study long-term plans, but to lead this fully armed squad to find a way out of this death maze of three million green-skinned soldiers.

The assassins have prepared all their equipment.

Compared to when they only had a few knives, the firepower density of this squad has undergone a qualitative leap.

"Number 6, seal the door."

Number 6 lifted the metal door panel that Number 1 had violently pried off from the inside, and used a thick iron pipe found in the armory to insert horizontally into the two slots on the back of the door panel, sealing the entrance from the inside.

The area outside the door was also re-disguised.

From the outside, it still looks like that inconspicuous dead wall.

"Walk."

Lawson released the safety of the bomb pistol, held the plasma pistol to his waist, and gripped the Katachon's Fang in his left hand.

Six fully armed Katachon warriors disappeared into the dark passageways of Deck 75.

Behind them, the armory door, now sealed again, stood silently in the darkness.

Number 6 stayed inside alone.
