Warhammer: Empire Reboot

Upon receiving the file, the Foundation Sequence determined in just 0.7 seconds that its technical style was highly similar to that of the Mechanical Order.

Lawson did not investigate the source.

He read the contents first.

The anonymous file is divided into three parts.

The first part is the sandstorm vortex gravitational turbulence model.

It provides a method for traversing the outer ring storm: one must proceed along three low-pressure gravitational gaps on the inner side of the storm, avoid periodic gravitational tumbling, and enter the central region within a specific time window.

The second part is the plan to shut down Voidclaw.

Although incomplete, it indicates that the fortress contains at least three stable anchor rooms, a core control pulse array, and an outer energy venting structure.

If either of these two locations is damaged or reset, Void Claw will be unable to enter high-power operation for a short period of time.

The third part consists of fragments that obscure the legion identification from the Great Expedition.

First Army Corps

Dark Angel.

The suspect is highly likely to be a fallen angel.

After reading it, Lawson retrieved Harken's memories again.

Swarm intelligence lays out all the clues.

Abaddon's strategic objectives.

Black Stone.

Nakmond Pass.

Black Stone Crown.

The trajectory of the Vengeful Spirit.

Echoes of commands forcibly sealed away in Haken's memory.

And the Dark Angel's unusual departure from the battlefield outside the sandstorm vortex.

All the pieces were quickly put together.

The answer is already clear.

The sandstorm vortex is Abaddon's next target.

Lawson raised his hand, zooming in on the tactical diagram.

A sandstorm vortex was projected onto the center of the Dominion.

It was a massive storm of death.

It is larger than many small nesting areas.

It has been spinning there since the first day humans colonized Vigilant Planet. The outer layer of storms can lift tanks into the sky, and the high-speed impact of sand and gravel can even wear away the outer coating of power armor.

If an ordinary person were exposed to it, they would be torn into blood mist and bone fragments within seconds.

Previously, everyone regarded it as a natural disaster.

In retrospect, those were weapon exhaust fumes left behind by humans in ancient times.

At the eye of the storm, there is a watchtower.

Within the fortress, the Void Claw slumbers.

It can create gravitational singularities.

At its highest power, it can induce galaxy-scale astronomical disasters similar to the gravitational collapse of a black hole.

Even when it is powered off or leaking, it is enough to create a cross-generational sandstorm.

As Lawson read the explanation, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

interesting.

However, Abaddon was certainly interested in more than just the weapon itself.

Void Claw is located near the Blackrock strata anomaly area on Vigilant Star, and is also at the center of a sandstorm vortex.

If it combines with the Blackstone ley lines, it could become one of the key nodes controlling the Nakmund Pass.

Abaddon wanted there.

Of course, Lawson couldn't let him have his way.

The swarm intelligence model continues to evolve.

Inside the sandstorm vortex, there's another group of troubles.

Many years ago, a fallen angels war gang quietly settled in the fortress.

The empire never realized it.

They originally had their own plans.

These fallen angels wanted to gradually reveal bits and pieces of information about the Watchtower over a long period of time.

Sometimes they would even deliberately expose individual members, letting them fall into the hands of the Dark Angels' interrogation priests, so that they would reveal clues about the Watchtower during interrogation.

This is a decoy.

The objective is very clear.

This attracted the Dark Angel.

This even attracted the megalithic monasteries.

Then, with the Void Claw, he crushed the unforgivable in one bite.

When Lawson saw this deduction, he couldn't help but sneer.

As always, the internal affairs of the First Legion can turn the battlefield into a complete mess.

No wonder the Dark Angels suddenly abandoned their allies in the Mortwald Wasteland and headed straight for the sandstorm vortex.

They are not crazy.

Instead, they sensed the scent of fallen angels.

The unforgivable's obsession with fallen angels is enough to override most battlefield coordination logic.

They cannot disclose this publicly.

They were also unwilling to share clues with allied forces.

So the white scar was left standing there to be beaten by the green-skinned people.

If Xiong Weifei and his team hadn't arrived in time, that mobile battle might have really gone wrong.

Lawson made a note of this.

But now is not the time to cause trouble for the Dark Angel.

Abaddon has already taken action.

The Vengeance Soul has taken over the synchronous orbit above the Vigilant Star.

The gravity-stabilizing anchor deployed, suspending the ancient flagship above the Hyperia nest city complex.

Hyperia is one of the Imperial hives closest to the sandstorm vortex.

The choice of the War Master was not accidental.

He has turned the Soul of Vengeance into a teleportation bridge.

With the help of locating beacons from both sides of the sandstorm vortex and the power of chaos, Abaddon's messengers can be teleported directly into the Watchtower.

The swarm intelligence then identified a new possible battle scenario.

Abaddon's messenger entered the Fortress of Vigil to negotiate with the fallen angels.

The fallen angel owed him a favor.

In Harken's memory, Abaddon had helped the fallen angels during the Battle of Pandora, especially the strategist who led them, by helping them evade the pursuit of the dark angels.

Now is the time to pay the price.

The fallen angels wanted to use the Void Claws to defeat the Dark Angels.

Abaddon wanted to use the Void Claws to accomplish a grander plan.

They may not trust each other.

However, there is a basis for a transaction at present.

Lawson looked at the tactical diagram and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

He did not intend to wait for Abaddon to finish the negotiations.

They also didn't intend to let the Dark Angel solve the mystery himself.

The obsessive secrecy of those unforgivable individuals might just be a nuisance in ordinary warfare.

However, with Abaddon already inside the fortress, this could turn into a disaster.

Lawson raised his hand and connected to the swarm network.

"Big Bear".

Xiong Da, far away in the mobile reserve area, looked up.

He was sitting next to the Flying Bear heavy anti-gravity motorcycle, letting the T-series assassins inspect the adamantite ram at the front of the vehicle.

After the upgrade of the sixth-tier bear guard template, his size remained at around five meters, but his muscle density, bone pressure resistance, nerve reflexes, and battlefield intuition all improved significantly.

The Flying Bear motorcycle, fifteen meters long and weighing sixty tons, stood beside him like an iron beast that could take off at any moment.

Big Bear patted the horn.

"BOSS".

"A tough job?"

Lawson sent over the map of the sandstorm vortex.
