Warhammer: Empire Reboot

The Red Pirate guards in the command hall drew their guns and retaliated.

The White Tiger Shield Wall presses down.

The bomb struck the shield, sending sparks flying.

The next second, the Crimson Dragon Firepower Squad stormed in through the side door, their molten beams burning through the guards behind the entire row of control consoles.

A Red Pirate officer attempts to trigger the dock self-destruct protocol.

The combat assassins with enhanced spider eyes had already marked his movements.

Command of Rusty Star Wharf will be suspended for 37 seconds.

East side of the abandoned star city.

The Red Pirates' defensive fortifications are under martial law.

The turret supervisor had just received an alert about the chaos in multiple locations in the core area of ​​the vortex, and before he could determine where the enemy was, a ghostly blue light screen lit up in the turret maintenance well.

The Xuanwu Battle Group was the first to emerge.

They raised their shields to block the main passage of the gun emplacement.

The Bixi squad rushed into the fire control room from the rear, precisely eliminating the supervisor, communications officer, and artillery control nerve contact person.

A dark mechanical technician attempted to connect his body to the turret's soul and initiate manual firing.

The Yazi assassin severed his mechanical spine.

The Crimson Dragon then entered the cooling zone.

What Lawson wanted were supplies, not to destroy everything.

They simply burned the guards, sealed the energy interface, shut down the external fire control, and then let the cornerstone sequence take over the records.

The three gun emplacements were taken into control.

The two gun emplacements refused to respond and their control axes were directly destroyed by Xuanwu.

After the sixth gun emplacement fired seventeen times in succession, its cooling system went out of balance. Just as the infiltrators had planned, the gun barrel exploded, blowing the entire fire control room away.

Upon discovering the silence on the eastern flank, the Xingcheng command immediately attempted to redeploy troops.

However, its communications room had been breached.

A small squad of Yazi appeared behind the communications room.

The Red Pirate communications officer had only written half of his distress signal when his head was severed by a chain blade.

"Contact the Overlord!"

Someone is shouting.

Another person cried out in despair, "The Overlord is in the Warp!"

They couldn't send it out.

Huron is chasing the Destroyer Ghost.

Between the Great Vortex and the subspace hunting fleet, there were already storms, disturbances, and extremely unstable communication windows.

Under normal circumstances, the Red Pirates can transmit information layer by layer through preset anchor points, Star Language Contamination relays, Dark Mechanicus communication beasts, and the Great Vortex Storm Echo.

But now, Lawson's first wave of attacks targets the command ship and the Star City communications center.

The Red Pirate leader tried to contact Huron, only to find that all the usable channels were disconnected one by one.

Some relay stations were destroyed.

Some of the communication beasts were burned by the Suanni Golden Fire.

Some of the Star City command posts were beheaded by Bai Hu.

Some distress signals are intercepted by swarm intelligence at peripheral nodes as soon as they are sent out, and then disguised as noise.

More importantly, Huron is tracking the Ghost of Destruction in subspace, and its trajectory is constantly changing, making communication windows very short.

The cries for help from inside the whirlpool were like shredded paper falling into a storm.

It floated up a little.

It was torn to shreds again.

Red Bone Market.

This place was the first to descend into chaos and become a living hell.

Black market dealers, pirates, flesh and blood traffickers, stimulant dealers, organ traffickers—they all do business here.

Lawson's target was not the slave market itself.

Instead, it was an underground ransom vault and high-value ledgers.

But once the battle order was given, all militants became targets.

The Crimson Dragon Squad appeared from behind the auction platform, and the first wave of flames burned the slave traders on the platform to ashes.

The white tiger shield wall overshadows the main hall.

The Red Pirate guards opened fire the instant they saw them.

Bombs, lasers, thermal fuses, and plasmas were flying around the market.

The people in the slave cage screamed.

Some pirates took advantage of the chaos to try and plunder the goods.

A black market dealer attempted to steal a safe filled with ransom notes belonging to nobles.

The next second, the Yazi assassin fell from the ceiling, his twin blades slicing through all the guards between him and the safe trailer.

"Non-suicide units, lie prone."

The foundation sequence was broadcast via loudspeaker.

Many slaves couldn't understand it.

But they understood the battle.

All the pirates who were still standing, still holding guns, and still trying to escape were killed within seconds.

Blood flowed across the auction table.

The main hall of the Red Bone Market looks like it has been slashed by a butcher's knife.

The underground ransom vault's gates are two meters thick, and they are equipped with old-fashioned mechanical locks and Red Pirate blood pact runes.

Xiong Wei has arrived.

Xiong Da was not on this battlefield.

But one team of Tier 5 Bear Guards is enough.

They stepped out of the static light curtain, carrying heavy breaching hammers.

Just as the Red Pirate guards inside raised their guns, the Crimson Dragon's molten beam swept across the crack in the door.

The vault fell silent.

Subsequently, the cornerstone sequence was introduced.

Start taking inventory.

Gold bars, gold standard.

Fine gold bars, standard gold.

A noble family seal, marked with gold.

Mechanically sealed casket, marked in black and gold, priority for transshipment.

Gem box, marked with gold.

Ransom ledger, bid amount.

Bone caskets showing signs of contamination were marked in black and sealed with a lion-shaped seal.

Ordinary silver coin box, standard silver, further processing.

The static force field lights up.

The first box of refined gold ingots disappeared.

Agrippina, the main star, third orbit, warehouse plaza.

At the same second, the refined gold ingot appeared on the receiving platform.

The waiting foundation stone sequence immediately stepped forward.

Scan. Record. Move. Store.

The T-sequence assassin next to it confirmed the purity of the material.

"High-purity refined gold, batch number one of Red Bone Market."

"Enter vault A-17."

Ten seconds later, the second batch of supplies arrived.

Thirty seconds later, the third batch appeared.

One minute later, the entire receiving station began operating at full capacity.

Agrippina's warehouse complex suddenly swallowed a river of metal.

The walls were made of piled-up gold ingots.

The black stone fragments were sealed inside the enchanted box.

The precious metal boxes were dragged away by forklifts just like ordinary building materials.

The Mechanicus casket was sent into a separate purification chamber.

The alien power core was marked in red and moved into the blockade zone.

Ancient weapons are received separately by the T sequence.

As soon as each item was placed into the stasis field from the vortex, Agrippina retrieved it almost within a second.
