Warhammer: Empire Reboot

“We will make them hear Kane’s echo.”

Ilancia nodded: "Remember, no one is allowed to linger in battle. This is assassination, not a graceful sword dance for the monkeys."

The young Avenger couldn't help but ask again, "What if the target is weaker than expected?"

Ilancia glanced at him.

“Then kill him, take the Soul Stone, burn away the traces, and go back to listen to the prophets argue with each other for a hundred years.”

A few people in the group chuckled softly.

Ilancia put away the talisman.

"action."

The Eldar assassination squad dispersed.

The ranger climbed up the outer wall, which had been blasted apart by artillery fire. The color-changing fibers on the surface of his cloak swallowed the surrounding light, and his silhouette disappeared after three steps.

The Avengers slid into the inner layer through the old maintenance pipes, their boots opening and closing silently without even stirring up a speck of dust.

The warlock led his psionic team down to the vicinity of the tower base, his spirit bone runes spinning in his palms, suppressing their psionic fluctuations into ambient noise.

Ilancia stood alone, taking out a device as thin as a cicada's wing.

That's the Ark's shadow field generator.

Unlike the crude optical camouflage of humans, and unlike the grotesque shadow cloaks of the Dark Eldar.

The Eldar's cloaking technology in the Ark goes beyond simply creating visual illusions.

It uses the bone matrix to fold weak light, disrupt the edge of the heat source, shatter low-frequency detection echoes, and then, with the help of the wearer's footsteps and rhythm, makes the body's presence slip past the observer's consciousness.

Ordinary people cannot see her.

Ordinary machine servants cannot scan her.

Most automated turrets will simply detect a gap that shouldn't exist and then categorize it as signal noise.

Ilancia fastened the screen behind her waist.

A layer of transparent ripples spread along her armor.

The edges of the shoulder armor disappeared, and the blade disappeared.

Finally, even the slight disturbance to the air caused by her breathing was blended into the already chaotic wind inside the tower by the film.

She took a step forward, her toes landing silently on the broken tiles.

The second step was to completely blend into the shadows of Saint Harbor.

Two banshee warriors followed at a distance, not getting too close.

Ilancia doesn't need them to remind her.

She moved upwards along the tower wall, avoiding the patrol lines of the foundation sequence.

Ilancia observed for thirteen breaths before passing through the gap between the two lines of sight.

Her opinion of Lawson rose a little higher.

The ability of human guards to achieve this level of coordination cannot be accomplished through mere training.

That's why she had to kill him.

The more powerful humanity is, the easier it is to spread disasters throughout the entire galaxy.

That was true during humanity's golden age.

The same may be true for this Lawson today.

She crossed an outer covered bridge.

Below, the foundation sequence dragged the engineering boxes past.

Ilancia stopped in the shadow of the covered bridge, her fingertips lightly touching the Soul Stone on her chest.

"For the Ark."

"For all the souls that have not yet fallen into the mouths of the thirsty lady."

…………

In the core of the Domination Court, Lawson leaned back in a black tactical chair, his eyes slightly closed.

From the outside, it looked like he was taking a short break.

In fact, swarm intelligence is spreading deep within his consciousness.

The settlement of the Vigilant Star campaign was broken down into numerous sub-items.

The wreckage of the Chaos Fleet.

List of Black Legion warships captured.

List of items seized by the Word Bearers from the Black Stone Crown.

Number of Qianzi Power Armor units recovered.

The corpses, weapons, ship parts, and wrecked demon engines of the Midnight Lords, the Punishers, the Iron Warriors, and various Chaos Warbands were sifted out layer by layer from the war junk.

This war is too lucrative.

Abaddon brought more than just destruction.

And the resources that Lawson needs most.

The number of chaotic forces that died on the warning planet was enough to cause the system to continuously display settlement messages.

Previously, in order to upgrade the Bear Guard template to the sixth tier, Lawson spent a large amount of subspace energy points.

Even so, the balance on the swarm panel remained at over 70 million.

While the next major system leap is still far off, it already represents an extremely solid strategic reserve for strengthening ordinary troops, modifying single organs, reinforcing special sequences, and dealing with emergency battlefield needs.

Lawson was becoming increasingly clear about something.

When influence expands to the sector level, the greatest value of resources often lies not in their immediate conversion into combat power.

Rather, it was intended to be used as start-up capital for the next war.

Chaos will never stop.

Abaddon would not admit defeat.

When the madman returns, he'll surely have even dirtier stuff in his hands.

Lawson needs the balance.

You need the confidence to make a decisive move at a crucial moment.

The loot list continues to roll.

The one thousand power armors paid for by Calgary have been transferred to Agrippina via a stasis field.

The power armor provided by Ultramarines is well-maintained, complete with all specifications, and many accessories even retain the standard seals of the Macragge Workshop.

With the addition of the power armor captured, repaired, and cleared from the Vigilant Star battlefield, the total number of units has officially exceeded 20,000.

Of course, according to the public ledger, Lawson still only has nine regular battle groups under his command.

On the surface, Astartes' combat strength remains at around 10,000.

The Imperial Code governs the Astartes Chapter.

The combat sequence in Lawson's possession happened not to be Astartes.

Even the strictest Guilliman Code never stated that "mortal augmented soldiers are not allowed to fight as well as Space Marines."

The spoils of war from the planet Jueling were also listed separately.

That industrial world, transformed into a demonic factory by the Black Legion, was practically the junkyard Agrippina had always dreamed of.

Hellbrass, Blasphemous Alloy, Demon Engine Core.

Parts from the Dark Mechanicus furnace.

Chaos Binding Rune Array.

The contaminated dimensional blacksmith's work clothes.

A large number of unfinished war machine skeletons.

The amount of Hell Brass brought back from the Extinction Star is unprecedented.

Most of these materials were used in the Combat Moon Modification Project.

Hellbrass makes the Battle Moon more durable in the warp environment.

This will also reduce structural damage when it performs long-distance jumps and subspace edge maneuvers in the future.

The orcs' junk planet is being transformed by Agrippina into a planetary engine capable of ramming through the Chaos fleet.

Little Wrench was so excited about this that he didn't sleep for three days straight, relying on WAAAGH scraps and cursing to stay awake.

Lawson was very satisfied with this.

Efficiency has improved significantly.

The warning star itself then enters the next phase.

The real construction began only after the war ended.

Lawson has decided to have the Cornerstone Sequence, along with the approximately 30 billion Imperial civilians left behind on Vigilant Star, reconstruct this planet from the inside out.

Blackstone's reserves need to be reassessed.

A permanent monitoring zone should be established for the underground black rock spiky structure.

All old mines of the Mechanicus, private vaults of nobles, military warehouses, and hidden research stations must be connected to the Imperial Household Archives.

The fortress-level Void Shield system needs to be upgraded.

The low-orbit defense network needs to work in conjunction with ground artillery positions, fleet anchor points, and Void Claws.

Saint Harbor, Hyperia, Motwald, the North Harbor, the Otek Water Supply System, the major reservoirs, the orbital elevators, the Starport, and the Blackstone Node must all form a mutually supportive network of defenses.

The Vigilant Star cannot remain merely a passive, defensive fortress.
