Warhammer 40 A New Hope

Captain Duke's superhuman senses allowed him to turn around suddenly, while aiming the grenade launcher in his hand backwards.

boom!

Duang!

A tall, blue figure suddenly appeared from thin air and dodged the incoming grenade launcher bullets with a tricky posture. Then he knocked the grenade launcher out of Duke's hand with a long sword, and stabbed at him with the short sword in the other hand.

In response, Duke, who had 150 years of service experience, immediately stretched out his left hand, and at the cost of his palm being pierced by the dagger of unknown material, he firmly grasped the hand holding the dagger, and at the same time pulled out his tactical dagger with his right hand and stabbed the attacker.

Red blood flowed out, but it did not come from the tactical dagger in Duke's hand.

The blue figure was now standing not far from Duke, her right arm neatly cut off.

The fight between the two lasted only a few seconds, and the result was that the Chosen One pierced Duke's left palm with one of her daggers, and she cut off her right hand in order to avoid Duke's attack.

"Interesting..." He injected a tube of unknown medicine into his shoulder, and his severed right hand quickly grew back. "How come I have never heard of such a powerful warrior on Earth?"

"Are you surprised by this, you alien bastard?" He drew out the dagger in his left hand without changing his expression and threw it aside. "Your days of wanton behavior on this planet are over!"

"Haha~ Do you have this ability?"

Biubiubiu!

Suddenly, several plasma balls fell on the battlefield, and an alien UFO appeared in the sky.

"If you want to defeat us, you must survive first!"

With a mocking tone, the assassin disappeared once again. At the same time, another round of bombing came from UFOs in the air, and many heavy weapons also landed in the distance of the battlefield.

Duke quickly hid behind a dirt slope at a speed that was inconsistent with his huge body, and began to report to the cruiser.

"This is Duke Squad. We have initially taken control of the battlefield and are now under heavy enemy aerial bombardment. Can you provide air support?"

"Received. Valkyrie has reached the target. Be careful of the monks above you."

shhhhh!

Two Hellstrike missiles were fired and successfully hit the UFO that was bombarding in the air, turning it into a ball of fire in the air.

Then, the Valkyrie armed transport aircraft belonging to the Astra Militarum in the sky began to vent its firepower on the aliens. The onboard multi-barrel lasers and heavy bolters on both sides of the hatch fired at all non-human creatures.

Most of the battlefield was cleared in an instant, and all the heavy artillery and vehicle-mounted machine guns that could threaten the Space Marines were destroyed.

Finally, Valkyrie stopped near the XCOM position, and dozens of people fell from it.

"Reporting, our aircraft has completed its mission and is returning." The pilot's voice came from the communication. "The remaining troops will arrive soon. It's up to you now, Brother Duke."

The Valkyrie fighter flew into the air and soon turned into a small dot and disappeared.

The dozens of Astra Militarum soldiers who were released by him quickly chose a place as their position and set up their heavy bolters and communicators.

The battle was restarted, and under the firepower of the Astra Militarum and the heavy bolter, the alien attack was greatly suppressed - no matter who you are, you have to think twice when facing a bullet bigger than your head.

The Duke team on the other side also resumed their attack.

"You two, take the three of them back to the ship!" Duke said as he looked around carefully. "The other two, follow me! Stay alert!"

The three trapped XCOM soldiers, escorted by two Space Marines, rushed towards the Avenger, while Duke and two other Space Marines continued to attack the remaining aliens.

Roar!

The heavily armored Berserker roared as he charged towards Duke and the others, but his armor was shattered by several grenade bullets during the charge. Captain Duke then grabbed his upper jaw and tore off half of his head.

The bolters in the hands of the Astartes Brothers were more accurate than the mutant sniper's rifle, and they killed the hidden gunmen one by one; the snakemen and mutants who could pose a little threat would be killed once they were discovered; now that the psychic network was interrupted, the psychic abilities of the Gray Men and Mutant Priests were mostly useless, and they couldn't even assist their teammates, and could only rely on the weapons in their hands to provide pitiful firepower.

The battle situation, which was originally unfavorable to the human side, began to reverse because of the joining of Duke and others. If this were a game, it would depend on how many levels the player wanted to advance.

More alien soldiers appeared at the other end of the battlefield and rushed over here. These should be the last troops that could be quickly transferred to the vicinity.

In the air, another transport ship appeared and docked near the battlefield, and a large number of Star Army soldiers came out.

"Immediately establish a defense line with this ship as the center! Technicians, keep an eye out for invisible enemies that may appear around you! Get the tanks out first!"

At the command of Captain Loken, the soldiers at the exit immediately dispersed, and a Leman Russ tank slowly drove out of the transport ship.

boom!

A shot from the 120mm battle cannon destroyed a nearby [Destroyer] along with the surrounding mutant soldiers. At the same time, three heavy bolters also spewed flames in the direction of the enemy.

The remaining enemies on the battlefield were quickly cleared and suppressed, while enemy reinforcements were on the way.

In just a short while, Locke and his soldiers used limited supplies to build a simple front line and front command post, and continued to consolidate it.

"Incredible, the first five 'Giants' alone suppressed the entire battle." Aboard the Avenger, the military officer was surprised as he watched the Astartes warriors mowing down the aliens like mowing grass. "Even the Chosen Ones are no match for them."

"Preliminary identification shows that the weapons in the hands of the giants should be [bolt guns], a weapon that uses small missiles as bullets." Shen Lili, the chief engineer on the ship, said. "This weapon has great power, but also has huge recoil. The recoil of a bolt gun of this size is designed to be unbearable for ordinary people."

"At least we know why they are so tall." The military officer said. "What do the people who came back say?"

"They said one of them looked human under his helmet," Dr. Teigen said. "But I've never heard of such a rebel."

"And they walked out of the drop pod that crashed down, and at this stage, apart from aliens, no organization or individual has the ability to enter space." Shen said. "Even the elders seem to be focused on the so-called incarnation plan, and the exploration of space has almost stagnated."

"The last time we saw a spacecraft larger than a UFO was during the full-scale alien invasion," the military officer said. "A new alien that is at least capable of flying freely in the solar system?"

"But, whether it's the giants or the reinforcements that came later, they all look and are sized similar to humans," Taigen said based on the preliminary information he had collected. "Could there be aliens in the universe that look similar to humans?"

"Considering the aliens that appeared at the beginning and looked like humans, this is not surprising." The military officer said, and then looked at their commander. "Commander, we need you to decide whether to leave now or try to communicate with them further."

"It's up to you, commander!"

23. The First Inter-Universe War (Part )

Half of the Astra Militarum forces on the cruiser landed on Earth and dug trenches near the Avenger to establish a defense line.

Although according to Zhang Yi's memory, the technological capabilities of the aliens in XCOM are not as high as those of the Human Empire in Warhammer, but to be on the safe side, he still sends half of the army to fight against the alien troops under the command of the elders and make some tests.

The result of the test was, just as Zhang Yi knew, the technological strength of the hostile aliens here was lower than theirs, although not as low as imagined (because of the mod...).

But they still have the advantage.

Therefore, the first batch of troops that went down to the ground served as the vanguard. While protecting everyone, they were also responsible for further testing the enemy's strength.

At the same time, a hundred-man Catachan force is secretly deployed around the world, and they will give the elders a big surprise.

And now, the commander of XCOM, this legendary commander who had experience in resisting the Elders and their alien troops in the first generation, hopes to communicate with the leader of this unknown force (Zhang Yi).

After all, given their current state and that of the rebels, it would be almost impossible to defeat the Elders before the so-called [Incarnation Plan] was completed.

Therefore, they were willing to try to communicate with Zhang Yi, the "humanoid alien" who showed some goodwill at the beginning.

But...

When the other party agreed to their request and sent a transport ship to dock on the flight deck of the Avenger shortly afterwards, the people who walked out of the ship made them feel a little... How to put it?

weird?

First, two giants dressed in more gorgeous golden armor walked down the transport ship, and then between the two standing people, a creature that looked obviously like an ordinary human walked out.

"Sure enough, this ship is much bigger in real life than it looks in the game~"

In order to ensure the "genetic purity" of Zhang Yi, the [ancient human], the emperor did not make any deep transformations on him, which made Zhang Yi just a strong ordinary person now.

"The real picture is better than the game picture." Zhang Yi looked at the confused military officer and others and greeted them.

"Commander, you look more ordinary than I thought~" Zhang Yi said, looking at the xcom commander who had black hair and normal height and looked like an ordinary person.

Zhang Yi's words were like those of a friend whom he had known for a long time but had never met, which made the military officers and others even more surprised.

Because they were very sure that they had never seen these "aliens" before or after the aliens completely controlled the earth, let alone Zhang Yi.

"Should I not greet you like this?" Zhang Yi said, looking at the expressions on the faces of the military officer and others. "I suddenly understand how Coze feels."

"Anyway, let's find a place to sit down and talk~"

[Avengers] - Command Room

The place where the commander reviewed various documents and issued various orders now became a meeting room for everyone.

As soon as both parties took their seats, Zhang Yi began to speak.

"As you guessed, we are also human, but we come from another universe."

"!"

This was undoubtedly bombshell news, and the military officers and others who had been planning to ask questions were instantly speechless.

"As human beings, even if we are from different universes, we should help each other." Zhang Yi continued. "This is one of the reasons why we are here."

"And the other reason is... we are also fighting over there, and it's much bigger than the little fight here."

"But other universes are safe."

"...You need an absolutely safe rear." The military officer said, remembering Zhang Yi's words.

"Hmm~" Zhang Yi shrugged, indicating that he was right. "I don't like beating around the bush, and my negotiation skills are terrible. I'm not one of those guys in that universe..."

"So I'm being frank." Zhang Yi looked at the military officer and the commander and said, "A deal."

"I will help you drive away the elders, and this place will belong to us."

"We are all human, so you don't have to worry about us doing any weird experiments, and I can guarantee that in the first hundred years, for the entire society and the planet, and even the entire galaxy in the future, you humans from the original universe will always have at least one management seat, and you can choose people to co-govern the earth with us, real co-governance." Zhang Yi continued. "Not the kind of elders."

"If you really have outstanding talents, the higher-ups will not be stingy with positions and power."

"But one thing cannot be deviated from - everything is for humanity."

After that, Zhang Yi signaled the military officers and commanders to express their opinions.

But his words caused the military officers and commanders to fall silent.

Exposing his demands so openly made them both feel a little helpless.

Shouldn't negotiations be about intrigue and deception, hiding one's true demands, and constantly testing the other party's bottom line for ten days or half a month to gain the greatest benefit? What's the matter with exposing one's true colors all of a sudden? Are people in another world so wild?

When aliens were infiltrating and kidnapping the earth, all kinds of evidence were in those people's faces, but they could lie with open eyes for their own interests, saying that they would not provide any assistance and even made trouble in various ways.

But now...

"...How can we trust you?" After a moment of silence, the military officer asked straight to the point.

"First of all, we are all human beings. If you really don't believe me, you can draw some blood for comparison." Zhang Yi said. "Then, we plan to occupy a suitable city after repelling this wave of enemies. You can come with us. We will eventually distribute cities based on your contributions to the war."

"Finally, as you can probably guess, we have a ship capable of long-distance space travel."

"That is not a small boat like the elders with questionable attack capabilities. It has powerful firepower, whether it is against ships or the ground, and our warriors' combat effectiveness and technological strength far exceed you and the elders." Zhang Yi said. "If we really want to conquer this place by force, we don't need to talk to you at all."

"Though in reality, those guys have always been like this... they would never talk if they could take action..."

At this point, Zhang Yi held his forehead and pretended to have a headache...

"But considering the situation in that universe, I have no right to comment on their actions..."

"Anyway!"

Zhang Yi suddenly raised his voice, startling the military officers and commanders.

"Because of my opinion, they decided not to solve the problem by force for the time being," Zhang Yi said. "That's why I chose to tell you everything, because it's unnecessary."

"You can wait until the current war is over, or you can discuss it with others. I know that some faction leaders have bad tempers."

After saying that, Zhang Yi stood up and walked out, and the imperial guards behind him followed him.

"Oh, right." Zhang Yi suddenly stopped and turned to the two men and said, "Don't touch our people and weapons, and don't try to dismantle them for research."

"It's not that I'm mean, some people will be very unhappy with you doing this."

"Believe me, the consequences of doing this are much more serious than you think."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The initial failure, coupled with the instability of the psychic network, caused the subsequent alien reinforcements to stop in the distance after a test.

The strength of Zhang Yi's troops far exceeded the various human resistance organizations that the elders had dealt with before. This was something they had never encountered in all these years.

Nearby troops and weapons vehicles are constantly being transferred here, but most of them are mutant soldiers transformed from humans.

The enemy's situation is unclear, and the elders cannot mobilize a large number of troops at once, which will cause defenses in other places to be left unattended, giving the human resistance an opportunity to take advantage.

On the other hand, because the satellites in the universe have been destroyed and there are no large psychic nodes here, the strength and coverage area of ​​the psychic network are extremely limited, and too many troops are difficult to control.

Finally, whenever they tried to establish temporary psychic nodes here to strengthen the psychic network, there would always be attacks from that group of humans interfering, blocking or even destroying their temporary psychic nodes.

They (Zhang Yi) are very familiar with their army and technology.

Looking at the increasingly complete enemy positions, the elders could not wait any longer, especially when there was a huge spaceship hovering above their heads.
