Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"Haha, you and your brother are both quite tall, guests who have come from afar." The great elder, wearing armor and holding a giant weapon, said. "I already know why you are here, Zulong's friend..."

"But even our village cannot gather such a large number of weapons and airships in a short time..."

"But I have a solution..."

"You can pass this message to the different villages on this continent and ask them to help you prepare. After the successful conquest, you just need to distribute the spoils reasonably..."

"I think many hunters will want to join your crusade..." said the Great Elder. "It's unprecedented to hunt a creature as big as an island~"

"And it's also difficult for hunters from all over the world to gather together~"

"An extremely grand hunting feast!"

237. Meeting to Subjugate the Great Rock Dragon (Part )

Holy Terra

Through Zhang Yi's portal, Guilliman once again came to this world which is now the heart of the Human Empire - the Emperor summoned him.

"Father..."

"I know what you are doing." The Emperor spoke first. "You don't have to..."

"..."

The Emperor revealed what Guilliman was hiding with just one sentence, which also made him fall silent.

"...I am unwilling..." Guilliman knelt on one knee under the Golden Throne and said, "After all the hard work, the Empire has hope, and everything is changing for the better..."

"The brothers also returned one by one, the tragedy was reversed, the mistakes were corrected..."

"I know." The Emperor said. "I know everything you said..."

"But the time is still too short..."

"My hard-won humanity is fading once again, Guilliman."

"!"

"Yes." The Emperor said. "I don't know how long it will take before I become the cold-blooded Emperor of Mankind again. I must make a decision..."

"but!"

"I know. If you want to say I am unwilling, I am the most unwilling, Guilliman." The Emperor interrupted Guilliman and said, "You and Vulkan do not need to stay here. The New Empire needs you..."

"...I will not leave," Guilliman refused. "My children, my realm, my home are all here..."

"I will stay until the last moment, and I will die before you, father."

"...Do not become another Horus, Guilliman."

"Listen carefully to your instructions."

Monster Hunter World

Jieyun Village

"Go to an unknown continent to hunt giant creatures that are at least 450 meters long?"

"real or fake?"

"I heard that all the nearby villages have received a hunting mission, with no limit on the number of people."

"Are you also recruiting craftsmen, builders, scholars, and so on?"

"Shall we try it? This has never happened before!"

"Forget it. We have a hard time fighting a blue bear beast. We will just be a hindrance if we go."

. . . . . .

Belluna Village

"Boys, pack up your equipment. There will definitely be a lot of people attending this hunting feast. We can't miss it!"

"Oh!"

. . . . . .

Fire Village

"Sister, do you think the hunters will participate in this mission?"

"I think so. For powerful hunters, this kind of event is a rare one. No one would want to miss it. We also need to think about how to go together~"

"I also want to go to the New World, maybe I can expand the market~"

"This is a great opportunity to promote our Flame Village dumplings!"

"Meow!"

"If I didn't need to stay in the village, I would also like to go."

"Village chief, you still have a lot of things to do, please don't slack off."

. . . . . .

Through Zhang Yi's portal, known and unknown villages, towns and even kingdoms all over the world of the Old Road received hunting invitations to go to the unknown world to hunt super giant creatures.

At the same time, a large amount of precious metals, rare minerals, and rare animals and plants allowed Zhang Yi and others to exchange for a large number of special equipment such as airships, cannons, and dragon-killing guns.

This hunting feast also caused a large number of people to flow towards the unknown continent stronghold established by Zhang Yi and his team, including craftsmen, scholars, and businessmen.

The commander in the New World also briefly joined the preliminary discussions of the hunt and contributed to its success.

At this time, Zhang Yi's portal opened in front of the gate of Yanhuo Village. The Yanhuo Village team, led by a young and strong hunter, had been waiting for a long time.

After seeing the entourage behind him clearly, Zhang Yi swallowed back the words "Why are you going out with your family?"

This cannot be blamed on Zhang Yi - look at this team. Yan Yan, a businessman, is now carrying a lot of bags, saying that he wants to expand his business to the unknown continent.

Then I wanted to share the delicious food, so I bought Tuanzi, Ai Cao and his Felyne cat - other people's food was the mouth-watering cat food, but in your Yanhuo Village it was Tuanzi. Zhang Yi still remembers some aspects of the game vividly when he first played it.

Finally, there are hunter groups. There aren’t many hunters from Yanhuo Village this time, only about ten, but... Huoyun and Shuiya, why are you two Yanhuo Village poster girls also going?

Also, you are almost clinging to the hunter (player)! Village chief, what do you mean by smiling like an auntie at the back door? ! Don’t you care about your village poster girl? !

Why didn't I see this part when I was playing the game?! Coach, they're 'carrying the ball into the opponent'!

"After seeing the scene where the two of them secretly entered the hunter's (player's) house in the beginning of the game, I should have thought that their relationship was like this..." Zhang Yi murmured in a low voice that only he could hear. "Ahem, everyone present, please confirm whether you want to go to the Totoro Village..."

"Although it is very convenient and quick to go there, if nothing unexpected happens, you will not be able to come back in a short period of time. Please make a decision. Thank you."

At Zhang Yi's call, everyone in Yanhuo Village checked and confirmed again, and after confirming that everything was correct, they walked into the transfer gate.

After the portal, the Totoro Village, which originally had few people, has changed a lot. Because of the hunting invitation from all the hunters in front of them, the whole camp has become lively.

People from all walks of life and all kinds of professions gathered here. Temporary residences were being built. Huge stoves and forges had been built first, and all other necessary facilities and equipment were also being constructed in full swing.

In the temporary Hunter's Guild, receptionists from different places are busy handling related matters for the hunters - although they come here mainly to hunt the Big Rock Dragon, but you have to know that there are many other related matters in Totoro Village that need to be completed by hunters, and there is still a large unexplored area around.

On the other hand, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the final mission, the updating and replacement of equipment is also indispensable.

After teleporting everyone from Yanhuo Village to Totoro Village and settling them down, Zhang Yi rushed non-stop to the largest house in the village.

There, scholars from several villages and experienced old hunters have been waiting for a long time.

. . . . . .

"Sorry, there are too many people here." Zhang Yi walked into the room and said.

"Not really. We haven't come up with a specific plan at this stage." said a scholar. "Besides, there aren't many opportunities for so many people from different regions to come together to discuss things."

"Then let's continue." A hunter from Rocklark said. "For a creature of this size, normal hunting methods are unlikely to work..."

"Even though we have gathered so many elite hunters from all over the world, it is still too small for a being the size of an island..."

"I think we should use the Dragon Striker like we did when we drove away the Peak Dragon!"

"But considering that the target is much larger than most Ancient Dragons, and that it lives underground, an ordinary dragon-slaying spear may not be effective against it."

"We have the technology to modify the Dragon Striker Spear you mentioned," Sanguinius said. "But there is another problem. It will take some time to use the Dragon Striker Spear, but the Great Rock Dragon will not just watch us prepare."

"Although we have received support from all sides at this stage and have a large number of airships, for such a behemoth, it is estimated that it will only be a momentary trouble."

"How about administering anesthetics to it as planned? This will at least be able to suppress the Great Rock Dragon's attack to a certain extent."

"Then how should we use it? Even if it lets you hit it, it's hard to penetrate such a thick shell."

"How about letting the elite hunters do it?"

"It's too dangerous. That's not how people use it."

"How about using these methods together?" Zhang Yi suddenly asked. "Our base and supplies can fully support the use of these methods together."

"Divide the large number of hunters into different task teams to complete different tasks to ensure the success of the hunt and the safety of the personnel," Zhang Yi continued. "Our human physique is generally stronger, with a higher survival rate and more coping methods, so the lizardmen and we will serve as bait and the first team to attract its attention to the greatest extent."

"Since there are enough airships, we should use cannons and other weapons to harass them in the air as much as possible to provide safety for the ground forces. This is the mission of the "Second Team"..."

"The third team will be responsible for trying to break open the shell of the Great Rock Dragon in a safe location after we successfully attract most of the target's attention, and inject a large amount of paralysis potion into it to weaken its aggressiveness."

"The fourth team of hunters will be responsible for assembling multiple dragon-killing guns and covering them to attack the Great Rock Dragon at the last moment. The fifth team is the reserve team, used to deal with emergencies that may occur in each team..."

Having said that, Zhang Yi paused and continued.

"That's the general plan, but the specific details will depend on you guys to fill in."

． ． ． After the meeting． ． ．

In the cafeteria in front of the huge stove, many chefs and Felynx are preparing meals for the huge population.

The preliminary plan for the expedition against the Great Rock Dragon has been decided, but more details still need to be discussed further.

At this time, after finishing the meeting, Sanguinius did not go to eat immediately, but found Chagatai Khan who had not attended the meeting before.

"You didn't go to the meeting, Chaghatai."

"You guys can just go and do that kind of thing. Things over there have been making me a little irritated lately."

"..Is everything all right, my brother?"

"Father has recovered now, what's wrong with that?" Chagatai said calmly. "Can't I still find time to participate in the hunt in this world?"

"..."

"Don't worry, brother. Just recover peacefully. We brothers and father are there."

"I see."

238. Battle against the Great Rock Dragon (I)

The hunting plan for the big rock dragon is being formulated in an orderly manner. During this period, Zhang Yi also managed to find Zulong and asked him for information about a creature that is not an ancient dragon but can defeat some ancient dragons.

According to the explanation of the [Ancient Dragon Ancestor] in front of him, the Big Rock Dragon is a relic from the ancient times on this planet. It is a creature without intelligence but with the powerful strength of an ancient dragon.

At the same time, its existence is harmful to the current ecological environment, so it is a good thing to fight against it.

"So why doesn't Gu Long handle this matter?"

"Weak ancient dragons cannot be defeated, and ordinary ancient dragons cannot be taken down. Powerful ancient dragons are mobile natural disasters, and even a vital part of an ecosystem. They cannot be moved at will." Zulong explained. "Destroying the stable ecology of an unknown area in order to eliminate an alien is not worth the loss."

"Then why don't you go?"

"...I have other things to do..."

Without waiting for Zhang Yi to ask any further questions, Zulong drove him out of his territory.

"You're just slacking off, aren't you?"

There is no problem with the Zulong, and hunters from all over the world are also actively preparing to hunt the Great Rock Dragon.

In this way, all the high-difficulty commissions that had accumulated in various regions were cleared up, and the monsters that were wreaking havoc and affecting the ecology in various regions were also defeated one by one - in reality, defeating monsters is not so easy. It may take several months just to find the target, not to mention the situation where the defeat fails.

This also updated the equipment and weapons for a large number of hunters, and also provided a lot of opportunities for the dwarves to practice.

One weapon after another was produced from the increasingly perfect Totoro Village forge, the hunters became stronger, and various other facilities were also completed.

Finally, the subjugation plan was finalized, and the subjugation operation against the Great Rock Dragon officially began.
