Warhammer: Empire Reboot

The Necromancer Somtathek is reviewing battlefield data.

The core computing array was processing a set of data that displeased him at an extremely high frequency.

The resurrection agreement has failed.

From the moment his fleet launched its attack on the Ark, ground casualties continued to mount.

The Necromancers can be destroyed a thousand times, and as long as the Phase Recovery Protocol is functioning properly, they will be reassembled in the Tomb Fleet.

The Necromancers' war logic is based on "infinite resurrection".

However, in the past three hours, the failure rate of the regeneration protocol has soared from 0.3% to 67.2%.

After the phase recovery signal was sent, the other party's quantum anchor did not respond, and the debris remained in place.

A new armed force has appeared on the surface of the Ark.

Humans possess a technology that allows them to disrupt the phase recovery protocol the instant the Necromancer is destroyed.

Even worse, their recovery teams would immediately take away all the living metal remains after the battle.

His army is shrinking.

With each battle, a smaller number of soldiers are eliminated.

Somtatech made tactical adjustments.

"Designate human forces as the primary target, and prioritize all ground attack forces against human armed groups."

He also issued a fleet assembly order.

The undead warships scattered around the Ark began to converge in the third quadrant, forming a dense attack wedge.

The heavy Gaussian projection array is charging up—he intends to use a saturation attack to directly penetrate the ark's outer shell.

At the same time, the Ominous Ark fleet intensified its offensive.

Vashtor's orders were clear: the fluctuations of the key fragments were still near Saim-Han, and they had to be seized before the Eldar could stabilize their position with the help of human reinforcements.

Saim-Han's space defenses began to deform under dual pressure.

The Eldar light cruisers were forced to shrink their defensive radius, and several escort ships were pierced by Necromancer Gauss Rays while covering the retreat.

Inside the Starfire Royal Court, the real-time projection of the space battlefield made the clan leaders' faces grow increasingly grim.

As Salosin watched the undead fleet gather, he increased the frequency of his staff strikes.

Horace has begun mobilizing the Red Moon Clan's reserve ships in an attempt to plug the weakest point in the defenses.

"My Lord, the space defense line won't hold for much longer."

Lawson was still looking up at the dome projection.

The old patriarch finally couldn't hold back any longer.

What are you waiting for?

Lawson stared at a certain direction in the projection of space, where there was nothing but empty void.

"coming."

"What's here?"

Somtatech's flagship sensor array was the first to detect the anomaly.

Subspace tidal fluctuations.

It is extremely large in scale.

So much so that his computing core immediately categorized it as a "natural subspace storm".

Because no known man-made object can produce this level of transition perturbation.

Then the subspace rift opened.

The edge of the rift tore open in the void on the left flank of the Somtatec fleet, and its width rapidly increased.

The gap in a normal transition is at most tens of kilometers.

The edge of the crack extends from the left to the right side of the sensor image and continues to widen.

Somtatech's computing core took 0.7 seconds to calibrate the actual size.

The diameter is 1,200 kilometers (the data in the original chapter 216 was incorrect and has been corrected).

On the other side of the rift, a spherical object is crossing the interface between subspace and reality.

Its outer shell is covered with a composite armor of refined gold and ceramic steel that is several kilometers thick.

Thousands of cannon muzzles protruded from the gaps in the armor.

The thrusters spewed out blue-white engine exhaust flames powerful enough to illuminate half the galaxy.

A heavily armed, engine-equipped combat moon that moves at sub-light speed.

Its total mass exceeds that of any known warship in the Somtatech database by tens of millions of times.

The instant it leaped out of subspace, it did not decelerate; it moved at near the speed of light.

Somtatech's computing core completed the orbit calculation in 0.3 seconds.

The battle moon's course was aimed directly at his fleet.

"The entire fleet is on emergency evasive action."

The order has been issued.

But the battle moon is too large.

The gravitational disturbances generated by a celestial body with a diameter of 1,200 kilometers at sub-light speed begin to drag everything around it even before it arrives.

Somtatech's flagship, a ten-kilometer-long necromancer cruiser, began to involuntarily deviate from its course due to gravitational tides.

Even with the thrusters operating at full power, the dragging speed can only be reduced.

Two undead cruisers were the first to be caught in the crossfire.

They tumbled in the gravitational tides, their hulls deformed by the tidal forces, before the battle moon's forward armor rolled over their path.

The two warships, each several kilometers long, were compressed into a thin sheet of metal the instant they made contact, and adhered to the battle moon's adamantine outer shell.

Somtatech's flagship, the Crown of the Vulture, was desperately reversing.

late.

The gravity cone has completely enveloped the core of the fleet.

More than a dozen undead warships lost course control in the gravitational field, colliding, squeezing, and being dragged toward the giant sphere that was approaching at sub-light speed.

On the flagship sensor screen, the Battle Moon's adamantine shell has taken up the entire field of view.

Somtatech made his decision in 0.2 seconds.

He activated the personal teleportation protocol.

The Necromancer and his core staff disappeared in the green phase light.

0.4 seconds later, the battle moon passed over the location of the flagship.

The 10-kilometer-long Corona of the Vallée existed for less than a single frame in front of a ship 1,200 kilometers away.

The metal hull, power core, quantum array, and shipborne troops were all crushed into molecular-thick metal dust.

The rest of the Necromancer fleet did not receive the same treatment as the flagship.

Most of their commanders didn't have time to activate their personal teleportation.

Dozens of undead warships were crushed one by one in a dozen seconds, and green explosions lined up in the wake of the battle moon.

On the dome projection of Starfire Royal Court, two-thirds of the green markers of the Necromancer Fleet disappeared within five seconds.

The clan leaders were stunned!

Horace's hand remained motionless above the command platform, in the posture of mobilizing reserve ships.

On the star map, the gray marker of the battle moon began to deviate after passing the location of the remnants of the undead fleet.

Leaning towards the Chaos Fleet.

The commanders of the Ominous Ark had clearly seen it as well.

Of the six ominous arks, two began to make emergency course adjustments, but their size of over 100 kilometers made the turning process slow and clumsy.

The moon did not give them time to fight.

It crashed straight into the escort layer of the Chaos Fleet.

Dozens of Chaos warships were unable to evade and were crushed into fragments by the armored hulls and gravitational tides.

The Red Pirates' escort ships, the Steel Warriors' heavy gunships, and the Dark Mechanicus' tracking ships—the differences in models are meaningless in the face of the Battle Moon's diameter.

Crush it all.

The explosions created a sea of ​​fire on the surface of the battle moon.

The two ominous arks collided head-on.

The Ominous Ark is enormous, its length of over a hundred kilometers making it a behemoth within the Chaos Fleet.

It can be 1,200 kilometers versus 100 kilometers.

The bow of the first Ominous Ark was crushed upon contact, and the entire ark was squeezed, bent, and broken along its longitudinal axis.

The internal demonic engine exploded under pressure, and the ship broke into three pieces from the middle.

The second ship, positioned behind the first, was simultaneously engulfed by debris and gravity. It didn't even have time to break apart before being propelled entirely into the forward armor of the battle moon.

The two ominous arks were destroyed.

After the battle moon passed through the core area of ​​the Chaos Fleet, a huge cannon muzzle rose from the adamantite plate on its armored hull.

The cannon's caliber was so large that an entire Imperial cruiser could be stuffed into its barrel.

Improved version of the gravity whip.

Of the remaining four Ominous Arks, two are exactly on the same straight line.

A gravitational pulse that distorts the laws of reality stretches, compresses, and stretches the void along its path, tearing apart all objects in its trajectory with the gravitational gradient.
