Warhammer 40k Origins Stellaris Civilization Simulator

For a moment, the meeting room fell silent. Everyone was pondering a question: such a terrifyingly powerful dynasty army, it seemed that the power of their newly established vassal states alone was not enough to defeat it.

But it’s not like they have nothing to do.

"We should fulfill our obligations to the Federation. We cannot dream of a quick victory, or even win without even thinking about it."

The expert's voice continued, "Given the current battlefield situation, even if we concentrate the forces of all our military states, we won't be able to destroy the main force of the Sotek Dynasty in a short period of time. On the contrary, if we choose to take the initiative to attack, it is likely to expose the weaknesses of the defense system and cause the entire front to collapse."

"Therefore, our primary goal is not to defeat the enemy, but to prolong the war as long as possible and deplete their war resources."

The huge military force of the Helka Federation headquarters is now constrained by a major plan and cannot quickly carry out large-scale reinforcements.

If the frontline military states rashly take a gamble at this time and try to fight a decisive battle but fail to achieve good results, the final result will only be to be defeated one by one, and then threaten the core world of the alliance.

"Therefore, our tactical goal is to establish a solid defense line and use consumption tactics to delay the Sotec Dynasty's advance."

The expert pointed to several core defense points on the front line. "We will deploy a three-dimensional defense network in these key star systems, with the Space Fortress Theater at the core, supplemented by fleet maneuver operations. We will not proactively attack, but instead use continuous defense and counterattacks to force the enemy into a protracted war of attrition."

The advantages of defensive warfare are obvious. Although the troops of the Sotec Dynasty have sophisticated tactics, extreme tenacity, and strong firepower, their strength is not unlimited.

Even though the Necromancer fleet has a certain degree of self-repair capability, they still need constant battlefield supplies and resource delivery to maintain a long-term offensive.

Moreover, the opponent's preferred sophisticated tactics would be of no use in front of the containment fortresses built by the federal army's idea of "building strong camps and fighting stupid battles."

They can only honestly organize wave after wave of troops to try to break through our endless space Changyuan system.

We just have to guard those walls until we die of old age.

"The specific implementation plan is as follows..."

The expert began to explain the next strategic deployment in detail. Many commanders nodded in agreement with this cautious and pragmatic strategy. The atmosphere in the conference room gradually changed, from the initial heaviness to a firm and calm one.

The key to this war is no longer to defeat the Storm Dynasty in a short period of time, but to hold on until the federal headquarters completes the expedition and returns.

As long as the enemy can be held back, the final victory will still be in the hands of the Helka Federation.

The Federation will not yield, nor will it be devoured by these ghosts that should have sunk into the darkness of history. Although the Necromancer Dynasty is powerful, the galaxy no longer belongs to them.

Chapter 141: A space opera of big ships and big guns.

The beginning of a war is simple. When two opposing camps meet, fighting is imminent.

In the depths of the universe, the cracks in the webway created by the tomb's door slowly tore open the curtain of reality. A green light danced in the darkness, and the whispers of death echoed across the galaxy.

The dreadnought fleet of the Sotek Storm Dynasty crossed the dimension at a speed unimaginable to the Imperials, and under the command of the Crowned General Zandrak, landed before the galactic defense wall of the Helka Federation.

The fleet of the dead lay silent, like ghosts from an ancient era once again wandering the world.

The Shroud-class light cruisers and the Vortex-class cruisers served as core military units to fill the gaps in the entire fleet. They surged like a tide, with arcs of dark green lightning flashing on their hulls.

Those sickle-class harvesters are like sharp blades, serving as the vanguard of the fleet, like a sharp knife ready to penetrate the enemy's weak points.

The Necrons' true main force consisted of a single Tomb-class Grave Ship, a force capable of causing great distress to other factions. Currently, it was suspended in large numbers at the rear of the fleet. These massive shadows, at least 15 kilometers long, were densely packed, shrouding the stars. The weapon arrays of these Grave Ships radiated terrifying energy, equipped with dangerous Gaussian particle whips capable of instantly destroying celestial-class units.

At the core of the fleet, the Tomb Fortress, serving as the core support ship and battlefield command center of the Necrons, releases invisible waves. Every pulse will tear a rift between reality and the void, allowing more Necrons warriors to emerge from the ship-borne wormhole generator.

The size of this force was simply hopeless for the Empire before the Indomitable Crusade began, but the Helka Federation would not be intimidated by the other side's posturing!

The Federation's Titan-class super battleship floated in the central area of the Galaxy Changyuan Defense System. Its huge hull was slowly rotating like a moving planet. Its light energy turrets were fully charged, and its production array was ready to assemble new ships at any time. It was ready to fight the army of the dead.

Around it, countless Whispering Escorts and Lost Battlecruisers gathered, their dark matter engines flickering, ready to go, causing the fabric of spacetime itself to begin to curl up.

The fixed defense of the Galaxy Defense Changyuan, a series of void fortresses and militarized Skyfort bases, formed an insurmountable static space barrier, with shields and defense turrets stacked layer by layer, like a steel Great Wall in the starry sea.

The storm is coming.

……

The Zortec Necrons launched the first attack. Thousands of Shroud-class light cruisers instantly lit up the darkness, their lightning arc turrets unleashing destructive energy like a galactic storm. Countless pale arcs of electricity tore through the void, bombarding the Federation's defense matrix.

The Vortex-class cruisers followed closely behind, their Gaussian particle whips drawing emerald green tracks of death in the starry sea, and every shot could accurately tear through the ship's armor.

The Federation fleet responded immediately. The Whisper escorts activated their dark matter engines and crisscrossed at lightning speed, maneuvering to avoid the Necromancer's firepower while simultaneously responding with their own powerful firepower. Their disruptor cannons fired a series of dark blue beams, piercing the hull and shields of a Shroud-class cruiser, reducing it to dust.

The Necrons' Scythe-class light cruisers quickly adjusted their formation and launched a counter-attack in coordination with the Scythe-class reapers. Their naval guns opened fire fiercely, attempting to block the Federation warships' maneuvering space.

However, the antimatter void clouds floated over while emitting sky-cloud lightning, rolling and swallowing everything. Their self-destruct cores composed of pure antimatter shone with an ominous light. Once they came into contact with the Necromancer ships, they would release an annihilation effect, swallowing everything around them into nothingness.

The battlefield fell into a brutal tug-of-war.

……

The fleet loyal to the Storm King began to suffer losses and had to regroup, but the near-immortal power promised by the C'tan still protected the Necrontyr's forces.

The Tomb Fortress unleashed pure energy, and the Resurrection Protocol was activated. The newly destroyed ships were reassembled and resurrected by some unknown force, as if the galaxy itself was trembling at this phenomenon that violated the laws of physics.

Afterwards, the wormhole transmission equipment started working again. In the twisted space cracks, thousands of undead warships were once again projected onto the battlefield by the Tomb Fortress.

Their troops gathered again.

But the Helka Federation was well prepared.

As the enemy recovered their strength and attacked again, the super weapons of the Void Citadel and the Sky Fortress - the Galaxy-level Crimson Lotus Cannon began to warm up.

This powerful weapon, which is designed in reverse from the physiological structure of a super beast, gives up mobility in exchange for a large range that can cover the entire galaxy and a stronger output than the breath of a super beast.

"Target locked."

First, the Citadel's main AI announced in a low voice.

A deep red light converged at the center of its weapon, as if all the energy in the universe was concentrated at that point, as if the wrath of the entire galaxy was concentrated here.

Red Lotus Cannon, fire!

A crimson beam of light pierced the starry sea, a fiery current of energy piercing the Tomb Fortress before radiating outward, simultaneously destroying the Necromancer warships it had summoned. Shields, armor, and hulls instantly crumbled, and the warships and the billions of Undead warriors within them were reduced to ash in the energy shockwave.

But the Undead would not be easily defeated. Although the Tomb Fortress was destroyed, the next ship took over the task and maintained the operation of the Immortal Gate. A large number of Scythe Sword-class warships and Scythe-class Harvesters still descended from the dimensional rift and continued to launch the offensive.

……

The battle of Galaxy's defense of Changyuan lasted for a very long time. Both sides suffered losses, but the front line remained tense.

The Necrons felt their own exhaustion in their senseless metal bodies, but the defense system remained motionless.

Just as their offensive was slowing down, the Federation's Iron Curtain Protocol was activated. The shields of all Federation warships instantly reached their maximum value, and they entered a brief state of invincibility.

During this critical window, the Federation's Lost Battlecruisers began to advance, their phase-disruption cannons locked onto the Necromancer's Tomb-class Tomb Ships. Energy waves jumping between phases directly bypassed the shields and decomposed the hull structures of a large number of Tomb-class battleships into particles.

The Whisper escorts took advantage of this opportunity and charged further into the Necromancer fleet, striking key points with pinpoint accuracy. Every maneuver was incredibly precise, and every shot ripped through the enemy formations.

The Necrons' counterattack was ineffective due to the influence of the Iron Curtain Agreement, and they had already expended too much energy in their continuous attacks on the Federation's defense facilities.

Finally, under the frenzied offensive of the Federation, the fleet of the Sotec Dynasty, feeling disadvantaged, finally began to retreat.

Despite the Undead Fleet's powerful resurrection abilities, they could not withstand such a heavy loss this time. Zandrak finally ordered the activation of the inertia-free engine system and led the remaining fleet to withdraw from the battlefield.

Galactic Defense Changyuan, hold on! The Necrons directly defeated the Federation forces in the naval battle, and the fleet decisive battle plan that would have achieved a decisive advantage failed.

But everyone knew this was only the beginning of the war. The Storm Dynasty would not give up easily, and the Helka Federation was bound to face even more brutal battles.

Chapter 142 Future Special Warfare Attack and Defense.

The warships of the Sotek Dynasty drifted in the void, like the shadows of the dead, cold and silent.

Their hulls glowed with an eerie green light, and each warship was like a floating tomb, bearing witness to an ancient and immortal civilization.

However, at this moment, even these ruthless Necrons were in trouble in the long war.

The Galactic Defense Wall stretched across the starry sea like an impassable barrier. This defensive line, constructed jointly by the Federation's military vassal states, was not simply a fleet of warships, but a vast war machine comprised of stellar fortresses, orbital defense stations, massive battleships, galaxy-scale shields, and countless automated defense systems.

The Federation's interstellar defense system is not a one-time achievement. Instead, it has been continuously optimized through countless wars and technological innovations, evolving into its current impregnable strength.

Even if the Sotek Dynasty could break through one of the links with its powerful Undead fleet, there would always be new fortifications behind to quickly fill the gap, and the federal troops on the front line could be quickly mobilized with the help of hyperspace transmission equipment, leaving the Undead army with almost no chance to take advantage.

The seesaw battle on the battlefield had lasted too long. The Tomb-class Graveyard Ships' devastating Gaussian particle whips swung continuously, tearing the frigates in the void into shattered fragments; the Scythe-class Reaper Ships' lightning arc arrays violently split the battlefield, tearing the enemy ships in half.

However, even so, every time the Undead army struggled to tear through the Federation's defense circle, they faced tighter blockades, more Titan warships, and Void Citadels whose defenses exceeded those of the Empire's most secure fortress planets.

The Federation's defensive power seemed endless, and every victory of the Necrontyr was built on the tragic losses of the Necromancer fleet. The overlord generals of the Sotek Dynasty began to realize that they could no longer delay like this.

Aboard the Necromancer Fleet's flagship, a frantic and heated meeting was underway. The Overlord generals gathered around a dimly lit holographic projector, the screen displaying the Federation's endless fortresses and warship formations.

Their tactical thinking remained cold and rational, but judging from the rising loss data, everyone realized that the war was heading in the worst direction.

Royal Guard Oberon, General Zandrak's representative during his hallucinations and one of the Sotek Dynasty's most elite warriors, slowly stepped before the holographic image. An ominous light flickered in the depths of his eyes, as if he were contemplating a winning strategy.

"The defenses of these flesh-and-blood creatures seem indestructible. We can't defeat them directly."

Oberon spoke in a low voice, his voice like a whisper from the grave.

"But what if we cut off their chain of command?"

The other Overlord generals were silent for a moment. The Federation army on the battlefield was immensely powerful, but it was ultimately made up of individuals.

If the Federation's command system could be destroyed at the tactical level, perhaps the Sotek Dynasty would have a chance to win a quick victory.

"You mean, send out phase assassins?"

A general asked.

"Yes."

There was a cold calculation in Oberon's eyes that was unique to the Undead. He waved his hand slowly, and the image behind him changed rapidly, revealing a group of Undead warriors: they were the most elite Phase Guards and Death Mark Archers of the Sotek Dynasty. They could use phase jumps to shuttle behind the enemy, approach the enemy commander like a ghost, and kill him invisibly.

"If we can use phase technology to deploy our elite forces onto the Federation's flagship or rear headquarters, directly targeting the enemy generals, we might be able to create enough chaos for us to find a breakthrough."

Oberon's words were calm and firm.

"As powerful as the Federation Army is, they still need command. If the command system collapses, we might be able to shake their defenses."

In the past, the Sotek Dynasty had used this tactic against the Empire, and it was quite effective. The Imperial Inquisitor was captured by the Phase Assassin without anyone noticing and was taken back to the Undead base to attend a wonderful "banquet".

Then, because of this "nightmare", he was extremely frightened and lost his mind, and gave reckless commands, causing serious losses to the imperial troops.

For a moment, the Undead Overlords in the conference room fell into deep thought. This was an extremely dangerous plan, but perhaps it was the only way to break the deadlock.

……

However, this plan soon proved unfeasible.

After the loss of a large number of Phase Assassins, at the next combat meeting, another Overlord said coldly: "Your plan is based on a false assumption, Oberon."

Oberon's eyes narrowed slightly, but his tone remained unchanged: "Combat intelligence?"

The Overlord extended a bony metal finger and lightly tapped the holographic projection. In an instant, the image of the genetically modified Federation warriors collected by the Death Mark Force appeared on the screen.

"The soldiers of the Federation Army are no longer ordinary creatures of flesh and blood. They are even more dangerous than those mutant humans."

The Overlord said slowly.

As the data unfolded, Oberon finally saw the true nature of the Federation soldiers. Every single one of them had undergone incredible genetic modification.

Their bodies have been extremely optimized, allowing them to fight in extreme environments, possessing superb physical strength, and even being able to withstand extreme injuries without dying, then use their super strength to fight back against the dead assassins or escape. Moreover, these genetic modifications are just the tip of the iceberg.

What truly made the Sotek Dynasty generals unbearable was the Federation's ability to unite their thoughts. The holographic image presented the Federation generals' brain structures and a schematic diagram of their network of united thoughts.

"Their minds are connected..."

A Necromancer general whispered.

Orikan was very interested in this. If it weren't for the Federation's self-destruction protocol that prevented him from capturing any prisoners, and some extremely troublesome encryption technology that prevented any reverse research, he would have tried to conduct some inhumane experiments again.

The generals of the Federation are not independent individuals. Their mental consciousness is connected to a huge joint network of thoughts. This means that even if one of them is killed, all his memories, tactical experience, and command thinking will be instantly transmitted to other soldiers.

"Can these flesh and blood creatures be so difficult to deal with?"

Another Overlord whispered.

"this is the truth."

The voice of the overlord who provided the data was cold and heartless.

"You can assassinate their commander, but as long as all their soldiers are alive, they will be able to immediately take over the fallen commander's mission. Their tactics will not be confused, their morale will not collapse, and they will even become stronger than before because they have gained all the experience of their commander."

The conference room fell into a dead silence.

Oberon's knuckles trembled slightly, and his cold rationality made him quickly accept this cruel fact.

They could not break down the Federation's defenses through decapitation operations because the Federation had no single-point command structure.

All soldiers and generals are part of the core of federal tactics, and their collective will is so strong that it cannot be shaken.
