Warhammer: Empire Reboot

The Luan bird warriors passed through the explosion and landed on the assault site.

A few minutes later, the last neural tower collapsed.

The swarms of insects covering this continent have completely spiraled out of control.

The Imperial Guard emerged from a command fortress that had been besieged by swarms of insects for several days.

The golden armor still shone brightly amidst the smoke of battle.

The long-handled guard spear advanced, and just as a tyrant guard charged in, a bomb struck its eye socket first.

The golden figure moved forward.

The spearhead pierced through the jaw and penetrated the carapace of the brain.

The other two had already crossed over from the left and right, blocking a Zergling Tyrant that was trying to escape between the ruins.

The war in space has also entered the pursuit phase.

The Imperial Navy's battleships pressed forward.

The cruisers spread out along both sides, specifically targeting the Zerg squadrons that had lost the protection of their core mothership.

The high-speed frigates circled around to the rear, destroying the damaged bio-ships and preventing them from regrouping.

The spear of light continuously pierced through the void.

The torpedo's tail flames drew a long, straight line through the sea of stars.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The mothership's hull exploded repeatedly, and blood and flesh debris spread throughout the fleet.

Smaller insectoid ships around them attempted to approach the escort mothership, but the Imperial cruiser's beam lance swept across them, cutting them in half.

The Sun Lord continued to cut off the outer fleet.

Disassemble a complete fleet into ten.

Then turn ten into one hundred.

After losing the Norn Queen and the high-level synaptic nodes, the swarm is no longer able to reorganize these scattered fleets.

The initiative in this war has been completely switched.

On the star map of the Pacific region, large areas of red are disappearing.

The cities that had been besieged by the insect swarm for months opened their underground gates.

As civilians emerged from the refuge level, all they could see were the corpses of the Zerg.

The hillside was covered with crustaceans.

The river was stained black with blood.

Mountains of corpses piled up on the plains, forcing engineering vehicles to carve passages between the insect-like carcasses.

Some of the dead insects were still twitching.

An Astral Army soldier would walk over and finish the job with a shot to the head.

boom!

Then continue onward.

A vast number of Zerg remnants still lurk underground, in the ocean, and in the wilderness.

Wild animals that lose synaptic control may continue to survive for many years, and may even cause new ecological disasters in some worlds.

The imperial army crossed these mountains of corpses and continued forward.

The sound of cannon fire traveled from one planet to another.

The light from the warships illuminated space.

The months-long defensive battle in the Taiping Starfield has finally turned into a full-scale manhunt.

Guilliman's flagship is pursuing the scattered Zerg fleet.

Lawson's consciousness sank into the swarm space.

Previously, when hunting the Norn Queen, he had been temporarily suppressing the swarm notifications in the background.

Now that the battle is over, the profits from the sixteen Norn Queens are finally being settled.

[This round of Norn-class life node hunt results are complete.]

[Norne Queen killed: 16.]

[Acquired 16 Norn Mother Cores.]

[Obtained 16 complete Norn gene-woven memories.]

[63,871 basic life structures were obtained.]

[Obtained 1,482 war creature design templates.]

[Obtained a Dominator-level Executioner Independent Neural Core.]

[The number of Norn mother cores detected exceeds the second-order upgrade threshold.]

[Norn Gene Weaving Furnace Begins Upgrade...]

Upgrade complete.

[Current Norn Gene Weaving Furnace Level: Tier 2.]

[Core Competency: Gene Template Creation.]

[The host can recombine acquired biological structures, combat memories, biomass, and chitin cores to create a standardized enhancement template suitable for the assassin sequence.]

[All templates will automatically remove Hive Will Control, synaptic backdoors, and hostile genetic commands.]

The Tier 2 ability upgrades are as follows:

[I. Each assassin can equip 5 basic biological templates.]

[II. Unlocking the creation of composite templates.]

The host can compile up to eight compatible life structures into a composite enhancement template.

[III. Different warbands can establish permanently independent evolutionary branches.]

The same life structure can be adjusted to meet the specific needs of different battle groups.

[IV. The chitinous endplate is upgraded to an adaptive living endplate.]

[The hardness, toughness, acid resistance, and impact absorption capacity can be adjusted according to the preset battlefield environment.]

[5. When biomass supply is sufficient, the repair speed of chitinous endoskeleton is significantly increased.]

[Severe structural damage still requires transfer to a stable culture facility.]

[VI. Unlock automatic combat data simulation.]

The Gene Weaver can automatically propose template modification schemes based on casualty data, organ damage data, and enemy weapon data.

7. Unlock Prototype Template Development.

The new template can be tested on a small scale with up to 1000 assassins first, and then rolled out to the entire sequence after its stability is confirmed.

[Currently available basic templates:]

[Layered reaction A.]

Strengthen muscle bundles.

[Spare circulatory organs.]

[Synaptic signal amplification.]

[A buffer layer against psychological shock.]

[Highly clotting tissue.]

[Acid-resistant cell membrane.]

[A hypoxic storage organ.]

[Optically concealed cells.]

[Multiple sensory centers.]

High-density load-bearing skeleton.
