Warhammer: Empire Reboot

It is indeed hard.

The first round of shelling only shattered the outer armor and part of the Void Shield.

The warship continued to charge forward, like a wild beast whose belly had been ripped open.

Rosen did not waste the fourth round of main guns.

He let the Void Claw pull gently.

Inside the fortress, the T-series tanks adjusted their gravity vectors.

The Khorne cruiser's charge trajectory deviated.

It was originally heading straight for the Imperial fleet, but was pulled by gravity and ended up behind a Deathguard Plagueship.

"Khorne's mad dogs! Are your eyes just for decoration?!"

"Shut up, you rotten meat! Go to hell with the traitorous war commander!!"

Both captains simultaneously launched into a tirade of insults.

Then they collided.

The wrecked bow of the Dreadnought cruiser was embedded in the belly of the Plague ship.

The rotting fuel tanks inside the plague ship were ruptured, and green flames spewed out from the crack.

The two ships got stuck together, their thrusters spewed out erratically, and they lost control of their attitude.

The Vengeful Spirit followed up with another round of light spears.

The two Chaos warships exploded together.

The Imperial fleet in low orbit around the Vigilant Star finally recovered from its initial shock.

Calgar had already teleported to the bridge of the Victory Laureate, watching as the Vengeful Spirit turned its guns and blasted the Chaos Fleet ships one by one.

This usually composed battle commander, unusually excited, roared out:

"Full fleet! Advance at all fronts!"

"Objective: Assist the Lord of the Seals in eliminating the remaining enemies in orbit! Do not pursue them into the warp; completely cut off their retreat route!"

The Imperial Navy captains had been waiting for these words for far too long.

Previously, they were forced to retreat to the lower orbit by Abaddon, relying on ground artillery and the fleet for mutual cover.

Now, Abaddon has been defeated, the Vengeful Spirit has changed hands, and the Void Claws are providing gravity interference on the surface of Vigilant Star.

The counterattack has begun.

The Imperial fleet broke out of the low-orbit defense array.

The Ultramarine fleet held back the main axis.

The Imperial Fist and Crimson Fist warships advanced to one side, keeping a close watch on the Steel Warriors warship group.

The Steel Hand, in coordination with the remaining fleet of the Mechanicus, specifically targeted Dark Mechanicus ships and Demon Engine transport platforms.

White Scar and Space Wolves' high-speed fleet cut outwards, hunting down small and medium-sized raiders trying to escape the battlefield.

The Agrippina fleet of Lawson also began to advance.

Swarm intelligence connects the fire control data of all Imperial warships into a network.

For the first time, the Imperial fleet launched a coordinated artillery barrage with near-zero latency in orbit around the Vigilant Star.

Space warfare has turned into slaughter.

The Void Claws were not powered to the point of destroying the orbit.

It only does a few things.

Gently tug at the course of the Chaos Warship.

Make their muzzles deflect by a few degrees, make their turning be half a beat slower, make their jump calibration fail.

Let them crash into friendly lines while evading Imperial torpedoes.

These things are deadly enough in space warfare.

A heavy cruiser named Steel Warrior is engaged in a fierce battle with the Imperial Fist fleet.

Both sides unleashed a barrage of powerful attacks across the void.

The captain of the Iron Warrior ship remained extremely calm.

He calculated the shield's wear and prepared to withstand the next round of Imperial Fist bombardment before using broadside fire to counter-press the enemy lines.

The moment the fire control was completed, Void Claw applied a slight gravitational deflection.

The Iron Warrior heavy cruiser deviated from its stance by less than three degrees.

Three degrees is practically nothing on the ground.

In the decisive battle of the space fleet, three times would be enough to make the entire round of macro cannons miss.

The Iron Warriors' shells grazed the edge of the Imperial Fist warship array, with most hitting a distant Word Bearer escort fleet.

"Iron Warriors!!" The captain of the Word Bearer's shrill cry almost pierced the communication channel. "You treacherous, bastard bastards! How dare you betray your comrades at this time!!"

Enraged, Captain Steel Warrior crushed the adamantium armrest on the spot, roaring through gritted teeth, "I wasn't aiming at you! Idiots! Fire!"

The Imperial Fist fleet did not waste any opportunity.

A barrage of beams of light pierced through the Void Shield of the Iron Warrior Heavy Cruiser.

Crimson Fist: A strike cruiser replenishes its torpedoes.

The bow of the Iron Warrior heavy cruiser exploded, its main gun array was disabled, and it was forced to withdraw from the battle.

Just as it was about to turn, the Vengeance Soul's light spear swept over.

The Iron Warrior heavy cruiser was cut in half from the middle.

A brief, suppressed cheer rang out in the Empire Fist channel.

Nothing makes Imperial Fist happier than seeing Iron Warriors' ships blown up on the battlefield.

The situation is even more chaotic on the other side, where those who harbor ill intentions are located.

They were originally in charge of the Blackrock Crown and the psionic ley line nodes.

At the start of the battle, the Word Bearers dispersed a large number of warships to protect the ground delivery teams.

The ground delivery teams are now being intercepted and killed by the Lawson battle order, and the escort fleet in orbit has been accidentally damaged by friendly forces.

A dark apostle stood on the bridge, holding up a spellbook in an attempt to calm the troops.

"Do not panic! This is merely a test from the gods! The great deities are..."

The next second, the Void Claw altered the gravity of the warship he was on.

Everyone on the bridge fell to the side.

The Dark Apostle tumbled down the steps, book and all.

He had just gotten up and hadn't even had a chance to continue chanting the names of the gods when a volley of cannon fire from the Soul of Vengeance pierced through the ship's hull.

The bridge was sucked away by the vacuum.

The Dark Apostle and his spellbook flew into the void.

The Death Guard fleet is also beginning to pay the price.

Plague ships are resilient, their hulls filled with rotting tissue and gas chambers, making them difficult to quickly incapacitate with conventional artillery fire.

Lawson didn't waste time with them.

He used the Void Claws to disrupt their course, pushing them toward the Imperial fleet's pre-set firing range.

The Steel Hand warships are integrated with the swarm fire control system, and the light spears are specifically designed to target the Plague Ships' propulsion systems and ventilation sacs.

The Mechanics fleet then subjected the Plague Ship to plasma saturation bombardment.

A plague warship was blasted open, and a large cloud of green poisonous mist poured out.

The poisonous fog was ignited by high-temperature incendiary bombs dropped by Agrippina's fleet as soon as it spread.

The absence of oxygen in space does not prevent the toxic fumes contaminated by the warp from burning in the psionic flames.

The entire plague ship was burned dry like a rotting abscess, and finally the reactor exploded, turning into a green shard of light.

The Khorne War gang is still charging.

Their fleet suffered the most severe losses.

Because they are the least willing to withdraw.

The Vengeance Soul fired a salvo that pierced through a Khorne frigate, while another Berserker transport ship was still trying to board it.

The White Scar fleet attacked from the flank.

The high-speed strike ship launched torpedoes in succession, disrupting the transport ship's engine.

Space Wolf's strike cruiser followed closely behind, firing its bow guns in rapid succession, tearing the transport ship in two.

Haldo Shuangpi heard the battle report on the ground channel and burst into laughter.

"Go tell those red-skinned lunatics that if they want to board, they'd better learn how to steer a boat in a straight line first!"

The Dark Mechanicus suffered the most.

They originally intended to take the equipment with them on the run.

However, they had too much equipment, their fleet was too heavy, their movements were slow, and they were also marked as a key target by Lawson.

The Vengeance Soul was originally part of the Black Legion's core, and knew best the Dark Mechanicus fleet's organizational habits and escort formations. The tactical data the Lurker Chapter seized from the ship also contained numerous routes for Dark Mechanicus transport convoys.

The swarm intelligence approach dumped all this data on the Imperial Fleet.

Thus, the Dark Mechanicus fleet's retreat route was blocked in advance.

A transport mothership carrying corrupted knights attempted to bypass the main battlefield.

With a gentle tug, the Void Claw veered its trajectory into the firing range of Agrippina's fleet.

The Iron Cage Throne fires.
