Warhammer: Empire Reboot

Lord of the Supreme War Court, the Dark Side of the Empire!

Acting Regent of the Dark Side Armies!

Lawson stood up, and everyone in the council chamber looked at him.

"Since His Majesty the Lion King and Regent Dante have both agreed..."

He glanced around at the faces in the seats.

Dark green, bone white, red, and crimson—the entire high command of the two most powerful military forces on the dark side of the empire.

"I hereby declare the Imperial Dark Side Supreme War Control Court officially established!"

Azrael led the way in bowing, and Dante followed.

Dozens of chapter leaders and grandmasters on both sides of the seats stood up at the same time, and the sound of power armor clashing echoed in the council hall.

The Grand Masters of the Unforgivables exchanged glances after bowing, their expressions softening considerably.

The chapter commanders of the Holy Blood Angels had it much easier.

There was a sense of relief in Dante's eyes.

Lord of the Dominion is Lawson, the sword of war is the Lion King, and he is the shield of war.

It's much better for three people to share the burden than for one person to carry it all.

When the Lion King awoke from the Dragon Forest, he had nothing around him.

Now he has the Resurrected Chapter, the reunified First Legion, and a system to which he is worthy of loyalty.

For a lion that awakens in an unfamiliar forest, this is the best possible outcome.

The supreme military power structure of the dark side of the empire has been redefined today.

The Lion King never drags his feet when doing things.

On the third day after the establishment of the Royal Court, he issued a rallying order.

The entire army assembled, and all the combat brothers that could be drawn from each battle group were brought to the alert star.

In his words, "The soldiers of the First Army need to see for themselves the very thing they are loyal to."

Next, the military barracks on Vigilant Star were filled up again.

The First Legion is far larger than the Holy Blood Angels.

The Dark Angels, along with the Devotion, the Angels of Forgiveness, the Angels of Vengeance, the Guardians of the Covenant, the Angels of Redemption, the Angels of Judgment, and more than a dozen other Unforgivable Chapters, plus the Lion King's newly established Resurrected Chapter, bring their total strength to nearly 100,000.

So many Space Marines gathered on one planet at the same time.

This number is extremely rare even in the history of the empire.

Lawson arrived at the reviewing stand in the barracks.

One hundred thousand Space Marines in dark green, bone white, and dark gray power armor stood in formation on the parade ground.

But the moment the Lion King pointed at Lawson, 100,000 people simultaneously raised their fists to their chests.

Looking down at the deep green ocean, Lawson did a simple calculation in his mind.

One hundred thousand warriors of the First Legion, plus nearly fifty thousand Holy Blood Angels.

In addition, there are his own 210,000 combat units and tens of billions of cornerstone units.

The military forces directly under the Supreme War Court of the Dark Side of the Empire are already a force to be reckoned with in the galaxy.

What comes after the review is more practical.

Navigators and communicators from the cornerstone sequence began to be formally stationed in the companies of each regiment of the First Army Corps.

Each company is equipped with three cornerstone soldiers, who are responsible for navigation, instant communication, and material dispatch, respectively.

The connection process went more smoothly than expected.

Cornerstone Death Squads do only three things: ensure that the company's ships do not get lost in the warp, ensure that the communication delay between the company and the Dominion does not exceed a few seconds, and ensure that ammunition, spare parts, and medical supplies arrive on time when needed.

The first to feel the change were the Dedicated Warriors.

Nakir's fleet suffered heavy losses on Dragon Spirit Star, and repair work has been progressing slowly.

Once the cornerstone sequence is connected, Agrippina's foundry world delivers parts and materials directly to devotees via folded logistics.

The repair period was reduced from the expected eight months to two weeks.

Nakir watched as his warships regained their combat readiness at an incredible speed and wrote a sentence in the command log: "It should have been connected long ago."

Hadras, the leader of the Avengers, was even more direct.

His warband carried out a cross-sector strike mission in its first week of integration into the Lawson system.

Previously, such missions required planning routes, coordinating supplies, and contacting navigators two months in advance.

Now, the cornerstone navigator directly provides the optimal route, and ammunition and reinforcements can be called up at any time.

After Hadras returned to the barracks after the battle, he said to Argos, the angel of forgiveness, "What kind of life did we live before!"

The establishment of the Supreme War Control Court of the Dark Side of the Empire brought about a qualitative change in the efficiency of military operations across the entire Dark Side.

Previously, although Lawson's system was powerful, only those battle groups that integrated his logistics could enjoy the efficiency benefits.

Many warbands, especially the Dark Angels, operate outside the system, fighting and resupplying independently, often resulting in problems such as poor intelligence sharing, supply disruptions, and friendly fire incidents.

It is different now.

The Supreme Court centrally coordinates all combat operations that have been integrated into the Dark Side.

Lawson's swarm intelligence acts as the central brain, allocating tasks and resources in real time based on the threat level, enemy distribution, friendly forces' combat strength, and logistical status of each war zone.

As the sword of war, the Lion King led the elite of the First Legion on expeditions to the front lines, reclaiming lost worlds, eradicating Chaos strongholds, and eliminating the core of the Orcs' WAAAGH.

His forest walks allowed him to move quickly between different war zones and personally command key battles.

Dante, as the shield of war, was responsible for the defense and maintenance of order in the reclaimed territories.

The Blood Angels chapters are deployed in key shipping lanes and strategic locations, working in conjunction with the Foundation Sequence and Nesting System to ensure that the reclaimed worlds are not lost again.

Lawson is in charge of the scheduling.

Three lines of progress are being advanced simultaneously.

The effect was explosive.

Before the establishment of the Dominion, Lawson spent more than four years recovering more than 10,000 Imperial Worlds, a speed that was unprecedented in the history of the Empire.

Within a year of the establishment of the Royal Court, this number had grown to 60,000.

Sixty thousand Empire Worlds were reclaimed within a year.

This speed has already surpassed the peak output of the Great Expedition era.

The Great Crusade had twenty Primarchs and millions of Astartes, and it took two hundred years to reclaim the worlds totaling only a few million.

The difference lies not in combat power, but in the system.

The bottleneck of the Great Expedition era is the same as the current bottleneck of the empire: conquering is easy, but governing is difficult.

Lawson's system eliminated this bottleneck.

With the Lion King and Dante now sharing the military burden, Lawson can focus more on system optimization and strategic planning.

The numbers continue to climb in the reports from the swarm intelligence team.

World recaptured: over 70,000.

Total value of cornerstone sequence: Exceeding 20 billion.

Green-skinned garbage planet: 87 planets operating at full capacity.

Nesting Matrix: More than 3,000 groups are constructing simultaneously on various planets.

Combat suit production line: XV8 produces over 10,000 units per month.

Raptor fighter jets: Total number exceeds 20,000.

Hurricane Motorcycles: Over eight million units.

The dark side of the empire is rising from the ruins at a visible pace.

Such a large-scale change cannot be ignored by the outside world.

The message crossed the Great Rift and reached the Holy See of the Empire, where a thick document was placed on Robert Guilliman's desk.

The dark side of the empire, the Lion King returns, and the Supreme War Court is established.

Lawson was elected Lord of the Dominion, with the Lion King and Dante standing on his left and right respectively.

6 human worlds were recovered in one year.

Guilliman finished reading the intelligence summary and remained silent for a long time.

P.S.: Guys, 2 words updated today!

Chapter 244 The Regent and His Thirteenth Aunt

The study light has been on for thirty-seven hours straight.

The data boards piled up in front of Robert Guilliman had become a small mountain.

He put down the forty-sixth data panel and rubbed his temples.

The Primarch's body does not need sleep, but the Primarch's brain needs a breather from the endless paperwork.

But the empire wouldn't give him that chance.

The Fourth Terran War broke out three months ago.

Instead of attacking via the old route along the eastern edge of the galaxy, the Tyranids' largest Leviathan fleet bypassed the southern edge of the galaxy and emerged from the Pacific region on the western side.

Taiping Starfield, the heartland of the Imperial Holy Land.

A region that has never suffered a large-scale invasion by foreign enemies in thousands of years.

There are a dozen casting worlds, hundreds of agricultural planets, and thousands of densely populated hive worlds.

The garrison was configured according to inland standards, sufficient to deal with pirates and small orc raids, but completely inadequate to deal with the Terran fleet.
