Warhammer: Empire Reboot

Fifth-tier bear guard.

He ducked as he passed through the light barrier. He was nearly five meters tall, and his heavy armor had been expanded. The edge of his tower shield was engraved with brass anti-psychic patterns salvaged from the remains of the Eightfold Skull King.

Behind him were thirty fifth-tier bear guards.

The well was never very spacious to begin with.

The space immediately became crowded as soon as the thirty-one heavily armored behemoths entered.

Xiong Da glanced around.

"Target?"

The psionic necromancer pointed behind the icon.

Big Bear nodded.

"open circuit."

Thirty Xiong Weimen advanced with shields raised.

The purebred chicken thief pounced.

The first impact struck the tower shield like a moving city wall. The bear guard's left arm sank, taking the brunt of the impact, while his right warhammer slammed down.

boom!

The purebred chicken thief had half his body sunk into the ground.

[Slay the pureblood gene stealer.]

[Gained chitin: 30.]

The second one leaped off the side wall, attempting to bypass the shield wall.

A bear guard grabbed its tailbone-like carapace protrusion with his backhand, pulled it down from mid-air, slammed it against the wall, and smashed a powerful punch into its skull.

[Slay the pureblood gene stealer.]

[Gained chitin: 30.]

The patriarch's psychic powers erupted once more.

This time, it focused its attack on Xiong Da.

A surge of emotions welled up in Xiong Da's consciousness, attempting to awaken a sense of family, belonging, and community warmth.

Xiong Da was stunned for a moment.

The clan chief's eyes lit up.

The next second, Xiong Da looked up.

"Stupid."

He continued to push forward.

The Tier 5 Bear Guard is a war behemoth that Lawson created using a large number of life points and template jumps.

Their emotions are extremely simple.

BOSS.

command.

enemy.

smash.

The patriarch's psychic manipulation of "benevolent father," "family," and "returning home" was poison to ordinary nobles, but to Xiong Wei, it was akin to reciting love poems to a cannonball.

Bear raised his shield, withstood the psionic pressure, and forcefully smashed through the pureblood guards in front of the altar.

The combat sequence psionic necromancers took the opportunity to push the barrier forward.

The golden fire of the lion burned through the spiritual energy patterns on the bottom of the statue.

The clan leader finally lost the blessing of the altar behind him.

It moved.

The enormous body leaped out from behind the statue, its four arms outstretched, its claws glowing with lingering spiritual energy, and its speed remained astonishing.

It knows who is the hardest to kill.

The clan leader lunged at the psionic warriors behind him, attempting to shatter the barrier nodes.

That's a smart judgment.

If the psionic barrier collapses, it can reawaken the entire cult. Even if the battle is lost, many nodes can escape in the chaos.

But swarm intelligence had already anticipated this.

The anti-gravity module beneath Xiong Da's feet exploded briefly.

The massive body crashed sideways.

boom!

The clan leader was struck head-on by the tower shield and flew back to the front of the altar.

As soon as it landed, its limbs gripped the ground, its tail spikes sprang up, and it let out a piercing hiss.

Thirty Xiong Wei surrounded them at the same time.

Tower shield compresses space.

A power hammer is used to strike the joint.

The Hellbrass Battle Axe cuts through the gaps in the armor.

The clan leader remains strong.

It withstood the three tower shields, tore open the shoulder armor of one bear guard, left a deep gash in the chest of another bear guard, and then used a psionic shock to knock both bear guards back.

Its claws even pierced the edge of the Bear Tower Shield, nearly penetrating the shield itself.

The clan leader roared and charged again.

Xiong Da stepped forward, discarded the tower shield, and grabbed the chieftain's upper arm with his palm.

The claw blade pierced his palm.

He swung his right-hand power warhammer and smashed it onto the chieftain's shoulder armor.

Chieftain's Psionic Scream.

The Xiongwei array pressed forward simultaneously.

Four battle axes slashed into the chieftain's leg joints.

Two power hammers smashed the carapace on its back.

The psionic warrior pressed the barrier down on the chieftain's head, like an invisible iron hand holding him down.

The golden fire of the lion poured in along the broken carapace.

Big Bear grips the hammer with both hands.

"The boss wants your shell."

The warhammer fell.

boom!

The clan chief's skull was sunken.

The second blow.

The skull was fractured.

The third strike.

The psionic core collapsed.

Inside the Well of Worship, the "warmth" that covered the entire planet was completely severed.

[Slay the gene-stealing clan leader.]

[Gained chitin: 3000.]

[A high-density chitin core was obtained.]

Zerg beacon anchor detected.

Behind the icon, a mass of bone, flesh, and psychic crystals was exposed.

It remained hidden deep within the patriarch's lair, like a beating alien heart.

That's the Zerg anchor point.

It wasn't a complete interstellar navigation beacon, but it was enough to leave fuzzy coordinates in the subspace and bioelectromagnetic layer. As long as the Zerg fleet approached a certain range, it could find Castor-VII by following this scent.

When Lawson saw it through his swarm intelligence, his eyes turned cold.

"Destroy it."

The Suanni squad stepped forward.

Golden fire covered it.

The psionic assassins blocked the outer fluctuations.

The T-series technology assassin recorded the last set of frequencies.

Then, Xiong Da swung his hammer and smashed it down.

The anchor point broke.

The golden flames engulfed the remaining flesh and tendrils.

The faint but dangerous guidance of the insect hive finally went out underground in Castor-7.

Swarm intelligence provides the judgment.

[Zerg ranged fleet coordinate guidance interrupted.]

[Speculation: The Zerg fleet has not yet reached effective reception range.]
