Warhammer: Empire Reboot

Several undead immortals revived in a side hall, suppressing the advance of the Thousand Sons with heavier Gauss weapons.

Kahmut personally took action.

He used witchcraft to distort the sense of time in that side hall, slowing down the immortals' reactions by half a beat.

The Red Warriors used this opportunity to advance, closing in to a distance where their bomb guns and flamethrowers could unleash their maximum power. After several Immortals were shattered, the resurrection process was suppressed by interference spikes and sorcery, only able to temporarily dissipate into green afterglow.

When the secondary hall's doors were opened, Kahmut had already lost twenty-seven red-letter warriors and three low-ranking wizards.

This cost is not small.

On the alloy pedestal in the center of the tomb chamber, there was a jar.

Its surface resembles a common burial container for the undead, but its material is slightly different from that of artifacts from the surrounding dynasties.

There was no complete inscription on the jar, only a ring of constantly changing fine lines. To the naked eye, it would simply appear to be a strange little object from the collection of some undead noble.

"found it."

A wizard stepped forward and tried to touch the jar.

Kahmut raised his cane to stop him.

"Don't use your hands."

The wizard stopped immediately.

Kahmut took out a sealed box made by the Dark Mechanicus from his waist.

The inner wall of the box is made of multiple layers of runic metal and demon leather, which can temporarily shield the outward echo of the key fragments.

He recited the nine-section incantation and used his spiritual power to lift the jar from the pedestal and slowly place it into the sealed box.

"withdraw."

The thousand soldiers retreated along the original route.

They did not attempt to clean the entire secondary hall, nor did they take away any other burial items belonging to the dead.

A space necromantic dynasty that has not yet fully awakened is dangerous enough. Once the tomb overlords and their fleets are fully activated, their calamity fleet may not be able to escape unscathed.

The withdrawal phase is more difficult than the offensive phase.

Two necromantic obelisk defensive towers activated in the underground fissure, and green beams pierced through dozens of red-letter warriors.

A swarm of scarabs gnawed through a wizard's shield, disintegrating it along with his leg armor and bones.

Another Thousand Sons Wizard was cut in two with a war scythe by a newly resurrected Necromancer Lord while trying to maintain the retreat portal.

Kahmut did not turn back to save the person.

He stepped into the teleportation flames with the sealed box in his hand.

The Disaster Fleet assembled in orbit and then departed from Vol's orbit.

Several frigates were damaged.

The flagship's outer shell was pierced by three penetrating wounds from the necromantic defense array.

But they got their hands on the key fragments.

In Kahmut's view, this was a victory.

"Send an encrypted signal to the War Commander."

He returned to the sorcerous throne on the Blue Flame Judgment, and informed Abaddon that the Wall fragment had been recovered. We will rendezvous at the third pre-arranged route.

"As ordered."

Before the Cataclysm Fleet began its warp voyage, Kahmut took one last look at Vol.

The number of green dots on the surface of the tomb world is increasing.

This means that more undead are awakening.

Kahmut didn't care.

He took the fragments.

By the time Wall actually woke up, he was already gone.

The tail flames of the Cataclysmic Fleet disappeared into the starry sky.

The world of tombs fell silent once more.

At least, that's how it appears on the surface.

In the ruins of a necromantic secondary temple that had been blown open on the surface of Vol, the corpse of a Chaos Space Marine lying among the rubble stirred.

His chest was pierced by a Gaussian ray, making him look very much like the remains of a Chaos Warrior left behind after being killed by a necromancer.

Inside the armor was a stealthy assassin from the 10th Warband of Lawson, codenamed Armor 712.

Before the Cataclysm Fleet arrived in Vol, he had already infiltrated the transport layer of the Thousand Sons Affiliated War Gang.

He wasn't the only spies from Lawson in the Disaster Fleet.

The mission of the Tenth Legion is clear: follow the Chaos Fleet, record targets, coordinates, results, fragmentary clues, and any opportunities that Lawson can turn into resources.

The fact that the key fragment was taken by Qianzi has been relayed back to Agrippina through another infiltrator.

Jia 712 stayed because he discovered greater value.

The world of Vol's Tomb has not yet fully awakened.

The Thousand Sons only took the key fragments.

They didn't have the time or the courage to empty the entire tomb.

That's enough for Lawson.

The assassin lay in the ruins, and after confirming that the disaster fleet had completely left, activated the stasis field anchor point.

A silvery-white light curtain unfolded in the ruins of the Necromancer's ...

The first to emerge were members of the Lurker Chapter, clad in Chaos Power Armor.

Their paint scheme is very varied.

Many others wore blue-gold power armor in the style of the Thousand Sons Legion, with realistically made helmets and tops, and even some traces of sorcery scorch marks and warp debris remaining on the outer layer of the armor plates.

More necromancers are awakening.

The immortals lined up, and the platform of the destroyers rose from the side hall.

The scarab swarm surged out like a silvery-green tide.

The battle spreads throughout the tomb world.

The undead are difficult to deal with; Lordson's battle formation is too strong.

The assassins cleaned up very thoroughly.

They even raided the side chambers, storage compartments, repair wells, and burial chambers of nobles in the necropolis.

After a hall storing dynastic artifacts was opened, the undead noble guards inside had just raised their war scythes when they were simultaneously teleported to the front lines by three combat squads.

The floating dimensional locks in the center of the hall were completely removed and sent into the armory space.

In another hibernation pod, hundreds of undead warriors were not yet fully activated when the Keystone Node filled the entire pod with plasma.

The Lurker Chapter left a trail of thousands of marks on every key battlefield.

Blue and gold armor plates.

The walls were scorched by witchcraft.

The Thousand Sons Mantra was deliberately left behind.

Several pieces of armor salvaged from the battlefield of the Cataclysm Fleet were placed in the position where the undead counterattack was most intense.

Several forged communication records were even implanted into the remaining monitoring system of the Necropolis.

The operation lasted for nineteen hours.

The awakening of the Vol's Tomb world is happening faster than Faceless predicted.

If Somtatec's main body is in Vol, the situation will be even more complicated.

However, the core of this undead overlord's consciousness was transferred to the nearby tomb world of Locke during the Great Sleep in order to deal with some old malfunction in the dynastic succession agreement.

Wall was merely an important tomb, not his true resurrected throne.

This gave Lawson an opportunity.

Vol Deep has finally activated a high-level defense core.

Six necromancer-like tomb sorcerers simultaneously awaken, attempting to reconstruct local space with necromancy technology and cut the intruders into an independent dimensional prison.

Thirty infiltrators disguised as Thousand Sons Terminators were simultaneously teleported into the edge of the spell.

Outwardly, they resembled a thousand elite soldiers returning to the depths of the tomb.

The spatial reconstruction paused for 0.7 seconds.

The six tomb sorcerers were killed one by one.

Two of them attempted to phase away but were caught by the temporary dimensional anchor, and their cores fell into the recycling bin.

Agrippina, inside Lawson's personal arsenal.

A large amount of dimensional anchoring material was detected.

The armory's spatial structure has been expanded.

[Current effective volume: 800 cubic meters.]

[Improved storage stability.]

[Long-distance transfer throughput capacity improved.]

[Improved efficiency of multi-point static force field scheduling.]

Looking at the feedback data, Lawson's eyes visibly lit up.

The volume has been increased from 300 cubic meters to 800 cubic meters.

This means his interstellar logistics hive can handle more war zone supplies at the same time.
