Warhammer: Empire Reboot

“Your Excellency, you are destroying thirty-seven large mining areas.”

Lawson only replied with one sentence.

"Khorne will reopen the mines for me."

This sentence was recorded in Agrippina's wartime diary.

By the end of the first day, twelve ring-shaped defense zones had appeared in the northern hemisphere of the main star.

There was no White Tiger, no Bear Guard, and no most precious foundational sequence of Lawson on the outermost layer.

There stood the Christian guards and their servants.

Agrippina also had billions of machine servants and fifteen million protectors. These assets, which originally belonged to the Mechanicus, were ruthlessly placed in the most vulnerable positions by Lawson.

Texas did not object to this.

Mechanical teachers understand the concept of consumables.

In the past, they were used to treating mortals as expendable resources, but Lawson went a step further, treating the entire old Mechanicus system as expendable resources.

On key positions, every hundred Christian defenders are equipped with three thousand fighter jets.

Their mission was not to hold the position.

They want the devil to take its first bite from the cheapest steel and flesh.

The next day, the foundation sequence began to descend underground.

Ten million Cornerstone Order suicide soldiers were removed from their production posts, armed, and incorporated into the reserves.

They don't wear power armor, nor are they responsible for charging.

Lawson dispersed them into the second and third defensive perimeters of the main star's crust, allowing them to operate fire windows, ammunition silos, automatic cannon arrays, thermal nozzles, and arc traps.

These suicide soldiers have no place as heroes.

Their battlefields were behind walls, in tunnels, beside gun emplacements, and in pipeline maintenance wells.

If the Khorne demon rushes in front of them, it means the first layer has been torn apart, and it's time for the second layer to explode.

Lawson did not demand that they hold their ground.

He only asked them to use up all their ammunition before they died, to lure the enemy into a pre-set area, and then to press the self-destruct command.

On the same day, 6,000 Xiongwei completed their frontline deployment.

These behemoths, each over four meters tall, were divided into three hundred heavily armored wedge squads and assigned to all areas that might be breached by heavy demons.

Each Bear Guard's shield has been recoated with blackstone powder and hellish brass shards, and new flow patterns have been etched into the shield surface to withstand the blood and fire from the Khorne demon's weapons.

Xiong Da personally led the team to inspect the array.

He stood before a furnace dam, looking down at the densely packed ranks of machine servants below, and asked Lawson:

"Are we behind the front lines?"

Lawson nodded.

"They died first."

Xiong Daweng said in a deep voice:

"Then we'll take over."

"Correct."

"Do you want a refund?"

Lawson glanced at him.

You can take half a step back.

Xiong Da thought for a moment.

"Half a step isn't enough to swing the hammer."

Lawson smiled.

"Then don't return it."

On the third day, the surface of the main planet no longer resembled the Forged World.

It's more like a loaded gun.

The orbital fleet has completed its reorganization.

Eleven main warships hovered in the outer space of Agrippina, their cannons all aimed at preset coordinates on the surface of the main star.

The Imperial Navy would never deploy like this under normal circumstances. Even a slight error in the orbital firepower would blast its own men and defenses to smithereens.

Lawson dares.

All naval guns, surface arrays, reconnaissance nodes, and underground fire control systems are uniformly calibrated by the cornerstone sequence.

He doesn't need naval tradition, the experience of aristocratic captains, or the half-hour prayers of a Mechanicus priest to the machine spirit.

He only needs the coordinates.

Lawson inspected the fourth furnace zone.

This is one of the areas most likely to be torn apart by terrorism in the simulation.

The surface appeared empty, with only a few positions of the Christian Guard and a few rows of machine gun emplacements. But three hundred meters underground, it was already filled with slag pools, ammunition depots, collapse pillars, heavy gates, and foundation sequence fire control points.

T-001 followed behind him.

"All defense lines are on standby."

"The combat order is fully staffed with suicide soldiers."

"The White Tiger, Red Dragon, Luan Bird, Black Tortoise, and Taotie entered the surface bunker."

"Knight Mech and Warhound Titan Reactor Preheating".

"The Blackstone node has been sent to 732 high-risk areas."

Lawson stood at the highest point of the furnace zone, gazing at the sky obscured by industrial clouds.

Agrippina was very quiet at that moment.

It was so quiet it didn't seem like a planet about to be hit by a demonic tsunami.

Krus, after connecting via communications, cautiously asked:

"My Lord, what if Khureld doesn't descend from these high-risk points?"

Lawson did not turn around.

“He will.”

"What is the basis for this?"

"He is Khorne."

Lawson looked up.

"He disdains taking a detour."

The three-day deadline has ended.

Deep within Lawson's retina.

【00:00:03】

【00:00:02】

【00:00:01】

Lawson looked up.

"coming."

The next second, the sky above Agrippina's main planet cracked open.

The first thing to appear was sound.

The sound of millions of chainsaw axes starting simultaneously came from above the clouds.

The sound had no clear source; it was as if the entire sky was being pressed down and dragged on a millstone by something.

Subsequently, all the astronomical instruments at the orbital observatory simultaneously issued red alerts.

Before the Christian defenders on the surface line even saw the enemy, their eardrums were already bleeding.

A cornerstone sequence assassin responsible for observation raises his head.

Thick industrial clouds are rolling to both sides.

Behind the clouds lies blood.

A rift spans the sky, stretching from the fourth furnace zone in the northern hemisphere of the main star all the way to the abandoned mine sea on the south side, with a length of more than a thousand kilometers.

It doesn't twist and flicker like a regular subspace rift.

It's more like someone used a giant brass axe to cleave the real universe in two.

On the other side of the rift lies a blood-red wasteland.

The Yellow Copper Mountains.

Skull riverbed.

Rolling blood mist.

There was also a vast, seemingly endless army of demons.

Khorne did not send a fleet.

He directly placed a battlefield over Agrippina's head.

The first thing to fall was a rain of blood.

Raindrops are not liquid, but tiny red crystals.

They slammed onto the metallic surface of Agrippina with a series of sharp, cracking sounds.

The goggles of the Christian Guard were stained red.
