Warhammer 40 A New Hope

Even so, Ariel was still not discouraged. She gave a speech and gave everyone two choices: leave here and hide, live one day at a time, or...

Use the weapons in your hands and your own lives to make these blasphemous beings pay the price!

The attack was bold and unexpected - the followers of Nurgle had not expected a resistance force of this magnitude, nor had they expected them to attack the heavily defended city.

Heavy bolters and beam guns kept firing at the surrounding enemies, turning them into minced meat or charred corpses on the ground.

The soldiers who decided to take part in the raid followed closely behind the tanks and fired two more shots/knives at the enemies who were not completely dead yet.

Soon, the enemy reacted and began to build a defense line, and the corrupt flesh and blood plants also began to move, trying to block the charge of this army.

Boom--!

The falling flesh and blood plants directly destroyed a tank, and the soldiers following it were also blocked.

But no one stopped because of this. The enemy's attack that injured their companions and knocked them to the ground did not stop them. The artillery shells falling around them also did not stop them.

Charge! Charge! Charge again! To stop means death!

A soldier who was knocked down by Nurgle believers and plague zombies detonated the explosives on his body without hesitation, and a pile of flesh and smelly blood splattered everywhere.

The Plague Bearer blocked the car in front and forced it to stop with his body that did not feel pain or fatigue. The commander did not hesitate to open fire at this extremely close distance, even if it would affect himself as well.

boom--!

Another tank was blown up, taking with it a large number of Plague Bearers nearby, but the surviving soldiers still ignored everything happening around them and continued to charge forward.

Buzz buzz buzz--!

There was a buzzing sound coming from the air due to the vibration of wings, and a large number of rot flies swooped down from the sky, tearing a large number of people to pieces directly or carrying them into the air and tearing them to pieces.

"Stop struggling, join us, you won't feel..."

boom!

Holding a dead wood staff, with many holes on his body and countless flies flying in and out, this Nurgle believer had not yet finished speaking when a huge tank ran over his body, and the broken flesh and blood evenly covered the surrounding ground.

Ariel and the others have gone very deep. They can already see more and more huge fleshy plants and Nurgle believers. The target they want to destroy is not far away.

boom!boom!

At this moment, the sound of grenade launcher firing was heard, and the observer on a tank was directly shattered, and the second bullet accurately hit the track of the tank.

Nurgle Space Marines

These fallen Space Marines who had thrown themselves into the arms of the so-called loving father still had powerful perception abilities. They removed the equipment of the already battered Leman Russ tank bit by bit, and then walked directly towards the surviving crew members.

"Join us." The flesh with one eye, the still beating dark green flesh mass in the hands of the Nurgle Space Marine. "You will gain immortality..."

"You're dreaming!"

The unyielding tank commander said viciously, and was about to detonate the remaining shells in the vehicle, but the Fallen Space Marine in front of him was faster and directly grabbed one of his shoulders and dragged him out of the vehicle.

“You guys… mmmmm--!”

The throbbing mass of flesh was stuffed directly into his mouth, and he couldn't even resist. The disgusting tentacles then entangled his body, corrupting his mind and body.

Sometimes, the last bullet in your pistol is best left to yourself...

The rebels had penetrated this deep, four-fifths of their men had disappeared, and the last two tanks were still charging forward, no matter what was in front of them.

In front of a huge wall made of flesh and blood plants, a large number of Plague Bearers and a Nurgle beast formed a line of defense, trying to intercept this last fish that had escaped.

In response, one of the tanks suddenly accelerated and fired frantically forward, reducing the number of enemies.

Finally, it crashed directly into the huge Nurgle beast. Its pus-covered body swayed like gel, and the disgusting Nurgle beast didn't even retreat.

"Commissar! These demons must pay! For the Emperor!"

Boom--!

The high-energy explosives that had been set up in advance exploded. The huge power instantly destroyed everything around it, and even smashed a big hole in the wall of flesh and blood.

The tank Ariel was riding in was almost on time. When the power of the explosion dissipated a little, it rushed into the smoke filled with dust, blood and flesh, and passed through the big hole created by the explosion.

Then, they saw a huge flower standing in the city.

"That is..."

"Commissar, get out of the way!"

A crew member in the tank suddenly pushed Ariel off the top of the tank. The next second, thick green soup poured down from the top of the tank.

Ariel rolled all the way on the ground and finally stopped. She saw that the big hole in the wall of flesh and blood that she had called the tank had passed through had actually healed!

None of the soldiers following the tank ran out, and she could even see a human arm sticking out of the wall of flesh and blood!

"Oh~oh~oh~" a teasing voice sounded, and at the same time, a large number of Nurglings surrounded her and laughed at Ariel. "Small, brave and healthy human~"

The Great Demon of Nurgle, Kugath the Plaguefather, came to Ariel with his big mouth, supported by a large number of Nurglings, and spoke to her softly.

"What do you think of this masterpiece of your father's, which was inspired by another world?"

"But when it matures and awakens this planet, we will gain a mobile paradise~"

"How beautiful ~ isn't it?"

231. Luxurious hunting lineup

[When the flowers of the soul are in full bloom, we also open our hearts to the planet where we share the achievements. This is an awakening at all times. ]

Rather, at the first light of dawn, our experience as a human being is illuminated by who we have been and who we are becoming. In this light we perceive our true self.

[We are gathered in this moment. We are united. We are waiting.] - The ending of "Civilization: Beyond Earth".

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

"In order to complete this concept, we need to first find a planet with life consciousness, which takes us a lot of time..."

"The best choice is actually the planet you call Catachan, but it takes too much energy and time to go there..."

"But fortunately, we found this planet, a planet with life and self-awareness..."

"Although the 'life' and 'consciousness' of this planet are gradually dying due to your development and colonization, the Father is great and merciful..."

"We freed him, we freed him from his bonds, and we will make him 'alive' again..."

"When this 'flower' blooms, we will all become one, and this planet will become our 'Ark', taking us to a new world!"

Bang bang bang!

Ariel suddenly raised her head at this moment, and fired continuously at the huge Nurgle demon in front of her with the bolt pistol in her hand.

All the bullets propelled by small rockets were shot into the body of Kugath Plaguefather, and dull explosions were heard inside his body.

"Oh~ What a brave and fearless little fellow." Kugas maintained his corrupt smile, not caring about the attacks of the humans in front of him. "Don't worry, soon, you will also join the arms of your loving father..."

"Very quickly~"

Kugath, who was held up by many Nurglings, tapped lightly in the air. Ariel, who was about to change bullets and continue shooting, suddenly felt her arm go numb. Then she saw green pustules appearing on her arm one after another.

"!"

Then, a sharp pain came from her lower body. Her leg bones were growing wildly, piercing into the rotten soil like plant roots.

Her flesh was melting and rotting, her internal organs were twisting and wriggling, and she was slowly becoming inhuman.

"Emperor...bless my...soul!"

puff--

boom!

Using his last bit of strength, he hooked the pin of the melta grenade with his still-flexible fingers, and then a hot breath spread out, taking away several laughing Nurglings around him.

"Oh~oh~oh~" The melta grenade also burned off some of the flesh on Kugas's fat belly, but it grew back quickly. "He still refused, the kindness of his father~"

"But it doesn't matter, the loving father is merciful..."

At this moment, not far from here, the huge flower covered with mucus and pustules was slowly blooming. All the Nurgle believers or demons on this planet felt a huge spiritual force and... They were all being linked together, connected to this planet.

At the same time, countless human souls are being attracted and devoured by the giant flower.

"He will always give you a chance~"

“Kuhahahahaha—”

Monster Hunter - New World Hunter Base

when!when!when!

In front of the huge furnace, several dwarves were hammering the alloy in front of them, while on the other side, the hunter craftsman was attaching the armored dragon's shell to the shoulder armor and "activating" it.

Yes, in Monster Hunter World, mature craftsmen can not only forge weapons and equipment that are both sturdy and lightweight, they can also activate some of the abilities of the creatures to which these materials belong, just like in the game, although not so outrageous.

For example: weapons made of Thunder Wolf materials can actually become electrified by attracting lightning bugs; shields made of Chiron or Steel Dragon materials are very heavy, but their defensive performance in all aspects is much higher than shields made of other materials of the same level; heavy crossbows and bows are made of materials from special monsters, and the bullets and arrows fired from them sometimes really carry a little special energy.

This is also one of the guarantees for humans in Monster Hunter World to survive in this world full of various dangerous creatures.

The task of learning these techniques was assigned to the dwarves. When they heard that they were going to other worlds to learn new forging techniques, a group of dwarves drank and fought all night long to finalize the exchange list.

As for why the Mechanicus were not allowed to come down... Well... This was a unanimous decision made by Zhang Yi and Sanguinius after discussion.

(Mechanicus: I have served the Imperium! I have shed blood for the Imperium! I want to see the Emperor/Eumessiah! I want to see the Emperor/Eumessiah! [being dragged away by the Space Marines without mercy])

The dwarves lack the technology to use the materials from these magical creatures to forge powerful and magical equipment, so they are prepared to use some of their own mineral forging technology to exchange for this technology - in their words, one thing is one thing, and the dwarves will never let their friends suffer.

Indeed, the dwarves were very skilled in forging metals, which allowed the craftsmen on both sides to quickly become friends - including Vulkan.

The Space Marines of the Salamanders Chapter were generally good at forging, and Vulkan, their genetic father, was even better at it. On Forge Star, they had many exchanges with the dwarves about forging.

In order to hunt Behemoth, Zhang Yi went to find the Primarchs specifically, but Jagatai and Guilliman were both very busy recently, and there were signs of chaos near their chapter's home planet. Vulkan, on the other hand, was safe because the home planets of the first two Primarchs helped him block possible attacks - this was also why Vulkan had time to go to Monster Hunter World.

Considering the agreement with Zulong, Zhang Yi and others were unable to use high-tech equipment. This Primarch, who had not been significantly weakened, volunteered to find suitable materials for forging equipment.

I still remember the shocked expressions on the faces of the gatekeeper hunter and the receptionist when Vulkan took on a bunch of missions and came back a few days later with a living, still moving velociraptor.

"Is this enough?" (The first thing Vulkan said when he came back covered in blood)

After bringing back the Swift Dragon and letting it recuperate for a while, Vulkan went out again with a group of Felynx and dragged back a Kondratieff, which was also alive.

Although it is a bit scary, it must be said that Vulkan's help greatly accelerated the forging process. At least the craftsmen no longer had to worry about insufficient forging materials.

Finally, after about a month of preparation, several sets of customized weapons and equipment were completed.

The hunt for Behemoth is about to begin

. . . . . .

"We have arrived at the Dragon Crystal Land."

Hofker, the elite hunter of the Weapon Regiment known as [Blue Star], is a sturdy male hunter who uses a shield axe made of horned dragon material. He is one of the team members who are fighting against Behemoth this time. Because the captain felt that it would be bad if he didn't send anyone out, and Behemoth is very likely the only one in the world, so [Blue Star] was sent here.

"It's great that he's not Kratos or King Frieza." Zhang Yi muttered to Hofker, carrying a specially made alloy bow on his back. "But the tool man hasn't changed..."

"Those who are capable should do more work." Sanguinius, wearing the Swift Dragon suit and the [Tenjo Tenka Musou Blade Kai], said. "Just like Guilliman."

"... This doesn't seem to be a good metaphor."

"...indeed."

"Haha, Guilliman has been so busy lately that he wants to split himself into two." Vulkan, who was originally tall and became even taller after being equipped with the armored dragon suit, said. "The air in this place has a strong energy. I can feel it..."

"This is what is called [Earth Energy]."

The Primarch's tall stature made the craftsmen say that they were "almost like upright velociraptors/armored dragons". Because of this, the reduction in equipment performance due to weight and size was basically non-existent on Sanguinius and Vulkan. (The original equipment manufacturing must have considered whether the user could lift it and move freely)

Now, under the leadership of Hofke, Zhang Yi and others bypassed the territories of various powerful creatures and directly arrived at the place where the [earth vein energy] gathered - [Dragon Crystal Land]. The [earth vein energy] in the air was much richer than other places, and the four people could clearly feel it.

"So, how do we find Behemoth now?" Sanguinius asked. "Is there any possible place?"

"Our hunter group's investigation of this place is not complete, and we have only been to many places once or twice." [Blue Star] Hofke said. "We know the territories of some powerful creatures, but we don't know where the Behemoth you mentioned might go..."

"Then let's search one place at a time?" Vulkan suggested.

"This is not a good idea. The area of ​​Dragon Crystal Land is very large." Hofke said. "Although sometimes it is common to stay outside for weeks or even months to clean up and drive away some creatures, but...wait...is your arm glowing?"

At this time, Hofke suddenly looked at Zhang Yi's left arm, the only arm that was not covered by armor, and said that several parts of that arm were emitting faint light.

"Hmm?" Zhang Yi looked at the four divine marks flashing on his arm and asked in confusion. "This feeling doesn't seem like it's outputting anything, but more like...resonating?"

Whoosh—boom!

Suddenly, a huge red figure fell from the sky and hit Vulkan directly. The entire ground shattered and the ground shook violently.
