Warhammer: Empire Reboot

"Let's also see which idiot put the highest-privilege interface after the virus's backhaul path, like tying your own key to a brick and then smashing it into someone else's window."

UR-025 directly sent an analysis result to the public channel.

Vashtor immediately cut off the connection.

The order has been issued, but the passage between the Codestorm and the Seventh Blackrock Fortress remains open.

Instead, the demonic code that should have obeyed it opened its mouth and bit the fleet port tightly, forcibly stretching open the entire backhaul path.

The fire in Vashtor's furnace suddenly rose higher.

"disconnect!"

"I told you to disconnect!"

Countless demonic faces are laughing simultaneously online.

That wasn't their own laughter; it was UR-025 laughing out of their mouths.

"Too late, you idiot!"

A stream of cold data rushed out of the Seventh Blackrock Fortress along the passage that Vashtor had personally built.

Reverse intrusion begins!

The fire control system of the leading Chaos cruiser suddenly unlocked.

The gunners on the bridge did not touch the control panel, but the entire column of macro guns began to turn and slowly aim at the reactor area of ​​the friendly ship on the right.

"Who's firing the cannon!"

Captain Chaos lunged at the control panel.

The monstrous tumor on the screen twitched incessantly, finally squeezing out a line of text.

[Target confirmed.]

[Friendly unit identification has been corrected.]

"What has it been corrected to?"

The UR-025's voice came from the speaker.

"enemy."

A volley of cannon fire.

At close range, the cruiser on the right had no time to turn, and the Void Shield was violently shaken by the first round of fire, with subsequent shells tearing open its side.

The explosion traveled along the inner deck into the reactor, causing the massive hull to bulge from the center. The superstructure was ripped away by the high-pressure flames, and the entire warship was broken in two in mid-air.

Further away, three demon-engined corvettes accelerated simultaneously and crashed into a mobile forging ship in Vashtor.

The casting ship frantically issued stop orders.

The system feedback, however, indicated that the impact command came from Vashtor himself.

[Highest privileges confirmed.]

[Collision trajectory locked.]

Vashtor roared angrily, "That wasn't my order!"

UR-025 immediately replied, "That's right now."

Three frigates crashed into the side of the mobile casting ship in succession.

The demon sealed at the bow was forcibly released from all restraints before the impact, and the subspace power accumulated in the core erupted simultaneously.

The side of the forge was torn open with a rift several kilometers long, and the mechanical priests, forging modules, and the unfinished demon engine were ejected into the void by the shockwave.

The Chaos fleet quickly descended into chaos.

One warship's close-in weapon system turned towards its own assault boats, and the barrage turned hundreds of landing craft into burning fragments; another cruiser proactively deactivated its Void Shield, and just as the captain realized something was wrong, the light spears that had not yet stopped firing from behind had already pierced through the ship's hull.

More demon engines awakened on their own in the hangar.

Instead of charging towards the Seventh Blackstone Fortress, they swung their weapons at the repair racks, ammunition depots, and shipboard reactors.

Those demons, enslaved by chains for hundreds of years, were given a command with the highest authority.

[Kill the guard.]

Destroy the cage.

[Release the core.]

Vashtor focused his consciousness on the fleet network.

"Stop everything!"

"Remove the existing key and disconnect all ships!"

UR-025 had already gotten ahead of it, injecting millions of conflicting commands into the control chain.

Open fire, cease fire.

Turn right, turn left.

Shield deactivated, reactor overload activated.

Kill the captain, protect the captain.

Mark the maintenance personnel as intruders and the friendly warships as the Seventh Blackrock Fortress.

Vashtor is marked as a system failure.

Just as one of the demon engines was about to rush toward the bridge, it suddenly received an order to protect Vashtor and turned around to ram another demon engine, which had also received the order to "kill Vashtor," into the wall.

The two monsters fought fiercely in the hangar, their artillery fire piercing through the ammunition racks and detonating the entire deck.

Vashtor's fleet began to tear apart from within.

When Abaddon saw a cruiser beside him suddenly turn its guns around, he immediately ordered the Black Legion to sever all communication links with the Vashtor fleet.

Several slower-reacting warbands were already affected, their navigation systems simultaneously giving incorrect course, and two heavy transport ships collided head-on, squeezing the Chaos Slaves and war machines inside into a layer of blood and mud mixed with steel.

Across the entire channel, Vashtor's roar drowned out the sound of the explosion.

"Tin-Shelled Bastard!"

"Get out of my fleet!"

UR-025's response remained consistent: "From a technical standpoint, you are the illegal intruder."

Vashtor: "Bullshit! I created these demonic engines! I will become a true god!"

UR-025 sneered, "Learn to set a password first, you mechanical demigod. Your firewall is so bad even a dog would shake its head..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the last set of stealth commands within the Vashtor fleet were simultaneously activated.

The fire control systems, reactors, and demon engines of the seven Chaos Cruisers all overloaded at the same instant.

Dark red cracks first appeared inside the ship's hull, then expanded outwards, the armor plates were blown off by high-pressure energy, and the demon inside the ship's belly emitted a silent shriek.

Seven fireballs simultaneously bloomed at the edge of the Eye of Fear.

Vashtor has forcibly burned down most of the unified command nodes, and the remaining ships have all been put into a state of mutual isolation.

The system of the Seventh Blackrock Fortress has returned to absolute silence.

It was as if the invasion that had just swept through hundreds of warships had never happened.

Only the wreckage of warships floating in the void still serves as proof of the outcome.

The Seventh Blackrock Fortress still stands blocking the exit.

The black outer shell remained intact, the geometric spire stood silently, and the anti-subspace force field continued to spread outwards.

At the heart of the fortress, UR-025 had already archived the invasion.

[Enemy technology assessment: Low level.]

Code cleanliness: Unacceptable.

[Threat level: lower than its self-assessment.]

After Vashtor's Code Storm failed, the Chaos Fleet at the edge of the Eye of Terror was thrown into brief chaos.

The Seventh Blackrock Fortress continuously released anti-warp force fields, pushing the psychic tides churning at the edge of the Eye of Terror back into the depths of the rift.

The first salvo proved that the cannonballs imbued with demonic power would be stripped away, the psionic beams would be absorbed by the black stone, and even the Planet Killer's main cannon could not penetrate the fortress's outer shell in a short time.

Continuing to arrange the capital ships in a dense artillery formation will only provide that terrifying death ray with an even larger target.

Abaddon stared at the previous shooting records and quickly identified the problem.

The Blackrock Death Ray is indeed powerful.

So powerful that a single blow could cause the Ominous Ark to crumble.

But it is not without its flaws.

The fortress's geometric spires needed adjustment, massive amounts of energy had to converge along the Blackrock circuit, and the pressure between reality and the warp had to be re-stabilized after launch.

There is a non-negligible charging interval between the two shots.

More importantly, that death ray is suitable for destroying large targets.

It can penetrate cruisers, wipe out swarms of demon engine ships, and dismantle a Thousand-Kilometer-long Omen Ark from its physical structure.

However, its effectiveness is limited when dealing with millions of small landing craft with erratic trajectories.

Even the strongest spear is not suitable for killing a swarm of mosquitoes.

Abaddon immediately changed tactics.

The main Chaos fleet was no longer crowded on the same firing line, but quickly dispersed to both sides of the Eye of Terror exit.

The large warships spread out from one another, making the choice of firepower for Blackrock Fortress a brutal dilemma. No matter which warship it locked onto, the fleets in other directions could continue to release landing forces.

Abaddon then issued orders to the entire Chaos fleet.

All boarding torpedoes, Fear Claw drop pods, and small transport boats were released.

Regardless of the losses!!!

No return flight allowed!!!
