Warhammer: Empire Reboot

Those vampires who threw their weapons did not become unarmed weaklings.

The Hellblade is an extension of the demon's soul; the thrown blade will re-form in its master's hand after a few seconds.

Number 4 does not intend to wait for them to complete weapon regeneration.

"Get up! Focus fire on the front row!"

Fifteen firearms simultaneously emerged from the firing ports of the control compartment.

"Bang bang bang, hiss hiss hiss hiss!"

The bomb guns aimed at the knees and faces of the front-row vampires, while the laser guns swept across the middle-row vampires to disrupt their advance.

The five vampires in the front row bore the brunt of the firepower.

The bombs exploded in dazzling sparks on their dark red shells. The two-stage destructive power of the mass reaction bombs was less effective when they came into contact with the demonic shells because the shells were made of condensed subspace energy and did not completely follow the physical laws of the material world.

But the concentrated fire of fifteen guns is not a matter of a few bullets.

The left knee of the first vampire on the left was finally shattered after being hit by three consecutive explosive shells. As it fell forward, two more explosive shells hit its exposed nape of the neck.

The second one was hit in the face by seven laser beams simultaneously, and the high-energy lasers burned two smoking holes in the eye sockets of the distorted bull skull.

Its steps slowed for a moment, and then it was hit from the side by a precise explosive bullet that pierced through its temporal bone region.

But the remaining three front-row vampires had already rushed to the bottom of the control room.

They began to climb.

The demon's claws could embed themselves into any surface material, and they climbed much faster than Lawson had anticipated.

"Grenade!"

Four fragmentation grenades were simultaneously dropped from the bottom of the control room, exploding at the feet of the climbing vampire.

The shockwave and shrapnel knocked two vampires off the bulkhead, but the third, despite the explosion, clung tightly to the metal surface. Several cracks appeared on its dark red carapace, but its limbs did not loosen.

It gripped the edge of the bottom of the control cabin with one claw, and then suddenly flipped its entire body up.

A blade of hell has been re-formed in its hand.

The flames illuminated the faces of every assassin in the cramped control room.

Chapter 36 Fierce Battle Against the Demonic Vanguard (Third Update)

Number 28 went to greet them.

He raised the chainsaw sword, and the rapidly spinning teeth bit into the blade of the Hellblade.

The instant the metal collided with the subspace energy, a blinding dark red arc of electricity erupted from the point of contact.

As Number 28 parried Hellblade with his chainsaw sword, the two assassins beside him pressed the muzzle of their bomb guns against the Bloodletter's armpit, the area with the lowest armor coverage.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two close-range explosives detonated inside the vampire's armpits.

That was a structural weakness that even the demon's carapace couldn't completely protect against. The shockwave from the bomb tore apart its upper limb joints and half of its chest cavity.

The vampire let out a piercing scream and fell off the edge of the control room.

Group 4 temporarily repelled the first wave of attacks.

But the vampires in the middle and back rows are still getting closer, and more dark red figures are gathering deeper into the passage.

Meanwhile, the maintenance platform of No. 3 was also attacked.

It wasn't a vampire who came.

What's coming is something much bigger.

A pioneer of terror.

When Lawson saw the images transmitted back by Number 3 through the consciousness exchange, his pupils contracted slightly.

That creature was twice the size of all the vampires combined.

Standing over four meters tall, its entire body is covered in a dark red carapace at least three times thicker than that of a vampire, with almost liquid orange-red energy flowing through the cracks on its surface.

Two curved, enormous horns, like two reaping sickles, extended forward from either side of his forehead, with white spiritual fire burning at their tips.

It held a giant hellblade, nearly two meters long, in each of its hands.

In standard Imperial combat doctrine, the standard procedure for dealing with a Khorne Vanguard is to have at least a company of Astragalus heavy weapons concentrate fire.

A company of Astronauts consists of 150 men.

But there's one more thing on number 3.

"Assemble the tarantula."

The five assassins began assembling the equipment at top speed.

The gun body was aligned with the rotating support of the base, and the four quick-release latches clicked and clicked into place.

The ammunition feeding mechanism is inserted into the ammunition interface of the gun body from the side and locked by rotating half a turn.

The ammunition box is connected to the input end of the ammunition feeding mechanism, and the metal ammunition belt passes through the guide rail and is attached to the gun barrel.

The precursors of terror are still approaching.

Its every step caused the entire passage to tremble.

The sound of that weight hitting the metal floor didn't sound like footsteps; it sounded more like a battering ram repeatedly striking a city gate.

Behind it, at least twenty vampires and hundreds of imps surged forth like a dark red tsunami. They were the followers of the Khorne Forerunners and the war entourage of this elite demon.

Assembly complete.

Number 3 took a picture of the side of the cannon to confirm that all connections were locked.

He then rotated the swivel bearing, aiming the six thick cannon barrels at the Khorne Pioneer that was charging wildly through the passage.

"Let this beast taste the BOSS's greeting."

Number 3 cocked the firing lever.

The six cannon barrels began to rotate.

It reaches maximum speed after 0.5 seconds.

"Da da da da da da da da da..."

The rate of fire of the multi-barrel rapid-fire cannon is four thousand rounds per minute.

More than 66 shots per second.

Sixty-six large-caliber munitions, designed for shipborne use, poured out from the six rotating gun barrels in one second, forming a visible barrage of metal bullets.

The barrage of comments first collided with the group of imp vanguards in front of Khorne's Herald.

The dozen or so little devils that charged at the front didn't even have time to leave a fragment in front of the barrage of comments.

Their dark red bodies were instantly shattered, torn apart, and pulverized into a blurry cloud of blood mist in the face of the ship-borne firepower density.

The barrage continued to extend deeper, colliding with the vampires behind it.

The vampire's dark red carapace is much tougher than the imp's, but under this intensity of fire, toughness only means holding out for one more second.

The two vampires in the front row received the most concentrated barrage of bullets.

With over sixty large-caliber rounds hitting the same body every second, even the demonic carapace made of solidified subspace energy began to crack under this level of continuous impact.

But the pioneers of Khorne are still charging forward.

The bullets bounced off and shattered on its breastplate, leaving behind a dense array of white dents.

Khorne's Pioneer lowered its head amidst the barrage of comments, using its two massive curved horns as temporary deflection surfaces.

It accelerated through the barrage of metal bullets.

It went from 60 meters to 40 meters.

"Focus fire on its knee joint with the bomb guns!" Number 3 issued the order through telepathy while continuously operating the rapid-fire cannon.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Ten explosive rounds struck Khorne's left knee area within a second.

The two-stage lethality of mass reaction missiles finally found a breakthrough here.

The shell was thinner at the knee joint because it needed to retain room to move, and the concentrated impact of ten explosive shells caused spiderweb-like cracks to appear on that shell.

The second salvo.

They hit the same spot.

The crack widened.

Two explosive shells penetrated the shattered armor and detonated inside the knee joint.

The Khorne Pioneer's left leg suddenly lost its strength as it moved forward, its knee bending inward at an unnatural angle, and its entire body tilting to the left.

It used its left hand to plunge the giant Hellblade into the metal plate on the ground for support, forcibly stabilizing its body.

Then it did something that made Number 3 break out in a cold sweat instantly.

It raised the Hellblade in its right hand and swung its arm back as if throwing it with all its might.

The goal is to repair the platform.

The target is a multi-barrel rapid-fire cannon.

"Everyone scatter!"
