Controlling the Warp Gate
"Lord of the Forge, please activate the Teleport Jammer immediately!"
Diana cried out anxiously, clenching her fists. She absolutely did not want her first battle as captain of the legion's flagship to be marred by a major blunder.
However, with hundreds or even thousands of enemy ships, she simply couldn't pinpoint the location of each one and monitor their movements.
Under normal circumstances, this wouldn't be a big problem; a fleet couldn't turn the tide. But the Primarch had warned that the enemy might detonate the Warp Gate.
Now, she can only pin her hopes on the Lord of the Forge's Teleport Jammer.
"Activate the Teleport Jammer!"
Rosicky's voice came through the communication headset; her calm and powerful tone eased the female captain's tension.
Forge Deck.
The Lord of the Forge's shoulder armor is painted red, representing his close connection with Mars.
Other legions' Tech Sergeant would paint their armor red to signify their close ties to Mars, but the Shadow of Order did not; they only painted their shoulder armor red.
Rosicky's Mechanical Prosthetic extended from his back and inserted into the silver mechanical construct in front of him, which was as large as Knight Mech.
The silver machine is spherical in shape and is engraved with dense runes and binary Lingua-technis.
The lights on the entire Shadow of the Throne dimmed instantly. Activating the jamming device required a huge amount of energy, so the energy of the lower-priority lighting system was diverted to the Forge Deck to power the silver-white machinery.
The Lingua-technis lit up in a regular sequence, one rune after another was activated and lit, and the silver machine shone with dazzling light.
Within one of the artificial eyes of the Lord of the Forge, the energy reading rapidly increased.
In Rosicky's inspiration, an invisible force suddenly erupted.
He shifted his gaze to the Warp Gate area marked as Strategic Point B in the holographic image suspended in the air above the jamming device.
The jamming device was activated, and the energy shockwave rapidly spread throughout the entire Necromunda galaxy.
The Warp Gate to the Orb Weaver League is a circular ring.
Eight folded mechanical branches extend outward from the ring, all bending at the central node, like spider legs.
This is an abstract symbol— the Orb Weaver Emblem —that emerged from the spider worship that developed over nearly ten thousand years in Necromunda. It is commonly found in various buildings of the Orb Weaver League.
The eight "spider legs" with their curved nodes, inlaid with circular energy devices, began to flash at a high frequency, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.
Warp Gate require a massive energy supply for intergalactic Teleport. The Orb Weaver League's Warp Gate are built around stars, using a unique energy device to gather the Sun's energy to power the Warp Gate.
The jamming device designed by Rosicky functions to interfere with the accumulation and transmission of energy.
The energy pulse that swept across the entire galaxy disrupted the energy accumulation process of the transmission gate's energy device.
The five energy devices finally shut down, and in the next instant, the countless Data Crystal on the eight spider legs flickered wildly.
The Orb Weaver League does not use runes like the Imperium of Man, but instead relies heavily on Data Crystal to achieve functions such as activation and control.
A dozen seconds later, the large area of Data Crystal went dark, and the light flashing inside the ring, like waves stirred up by a skipping stone, suddenly spread outwards.
The three warships from the Orb Weaver League were like prey caught in a spider web, bound by the energy waves and unable to move.
Data streams pulsed across the artificial eye of the Lord of the Forge, which he Analysis in seconds, and then spoke into the command communication channel.
"Warp Gate B is down. Estimated duration: 5 hours and 11 minutes (ship standard time)."
"The enemy ship is caught in the burst of energy and is in a state of stasis. The estimated duration is two hours and thirty-three minutes of standard ship time."
"The energy storm is currently 152,000 kilometers in size and is expected to shrink to 84,000 kilometers in one hour."
Diana breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and offered her praise.
"Lord of the Forge, your work has been remarkably effective."
The captain calmly directed the fleet toward Strategic Point B.
On the command the Throne, Nimrod nodded in satisfaction. Diana's overall performance was good. Although there was a minor oversight, it was within a controllable range, and she noticed and dealt with it in time before he could remind her.
Under the command of the female captain, the Eleventh Legion seized control of five Warp Gate areas and then launched an offensive against the orbital defense facilities of the Necromunda superstar.
The remaining Orb Weaver League fleet attempted to hold them off, but the battle quickly ended after the Shadow of the Throne handed over the defense of Node E to an escort fleet that arrived on the battlefield.
The Primarch received a report from the Vox Master that progress was going smoothly in the other five star systems, and the Warp Gate were under the control of the Eleventh Legion.
The Second Legion was responsible for the agricultural star system of the Orb Weaver League, and they faced their greatest challenge in space warfare alongside the 7th Legion.
Over the past ten thousand years, the surface ecosystem of Spider Star has been severely damaged, far more so than that of Vostonia.
The Iron Lord reside in a tower surrounded by Ash Wasteland, and their population far exceeds that of Vostonia, making them far more dependent on imported food.
The agricultural galaxy and the galaxy that produces Data Crystal are the two most important galaxies for the Techno-aristocrats.
One galaxy sustains the food supply for the entire alliance, while the other forms the foundation of the cyber technology system of the entire Techno-aristocrats.
This is why the Techno-aristocrats has stationed a large number of warships in both star systems.
The Second Legion, which encountered resistance, was the last of the five Chapter to end the space battle.
The agricultural star system has four habitable planets, including two grassland planets, one ocean planet, and one mountain planet.
After the Second Legion annihilated the enemy ships, Lord Merson reviewed the results of the Auger Matrix's scan of the four worlds awaiting conquest.
He astutely noticed that these four worlds, like the other planets in the Imperium classified as Agri World, had small populations, numbering in the millions.
Merson immediately realized that these worlds must employ management methods similar to those of the Imperium's Agri World.
Serfs were scattered throughout the planet. They didn't care who their masters were; they simply performed their labor and paid their allotted share.
To conquer such a world, one only needs to strike swiftly at the rulers.
Merson issued the order in the Chapter's command channel.
"Our next attack must be carried out precisely and efficiently, as instructed by the Primarch."
"The goal is the towers of every world!"
Influenced by the dominant Techno-aristocrats in the Orb Weaver League, many ruling families in the four Agri World also built towers.
Of course, the number and size of the population living in these towers are far less than those towering towers on Spider Star.
The black Drop Pod was scattered across four worlds.
The dazzling light generated by atmospheric friction illuminated every corner of the world.
Clad in black Shadow of Order, in perfect formation, stormed the towering structure.
The guardians used Laser Weapon manufactured by Spider Star to attack the black-armored Warrior.
The scorching beam of light struck the Mark II Power Armor, leaving only scattered marks and causing no damage whatsoever to the Shadow of Order.
The Reaver Squad was the spearhead of the assault; they moved in perfect unison, raising their Bolt Pistol and unleashing a volley that shattered the enemy's formation.
The Chainsword roared into action, leaving behind only mangled limbs in its wake.
After the ground battle began, in just 22 hours, the 4,500 Warrior of the Second Legion had completed the capture of 163 towers in four worlds.
Of the five Chapter, the Second Legion, which started the ground offensive last, was the first to capture the target star Chapter. They also suffered the fewest losses, with only thirteen unfortunate souls killed by bombs detonated by the desperate ruler.
At the same moment, after seizing the orbit of Necromunda, Nimrod also issued an attack order.
The Primarch crawled into a specially made black Drop Pod for him, much larger than those used by Legion Warrior; he could even stand upright inside it.
The black Drop Pod plummeted toward the tallest tower in Necromunda; Nimrod's target was the Chief Iron Lord.
