Warhammer 40 A New Hope

But... The Emperor who asked Zhang Yi to take over the battleship always felt like he had forgotten something...

The almost naked emperor, who had just knocked over a Explosive Hammer Dragon, suddenly sat on a large rock beside him and began to ponder, trying to recall what he had forgotten.

What is certain is that it is not a dangerous matter, but in some ways, it is also very important, but the emperor really can’t remember what it is at the moment...

"Um..."

"What is the matter, father?" Sanguinius asked.

"I asked that kid to find the Hope and cooperate with the troops that arrived on Mars to deal with the problems on Mars, but..."

"I always feel like I've forgotten something..."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

As the instrument in front of Zhang Yi lit up, a projection of a girl's image appeared in front of Zhang Yi, and after looking around for a while, she looked at him.

[Although not all humans have undergone genetic registration throughout the Golden Age, there are still a very small number of people who have not been logged into the database for various reasons...] (Hope AI)

[I originally thought that all the pure humans of the Golden Age had died, but I didn't expect that...] (Hope AI)

[Where did you come from, 'Golden Savage'? ] (Hope AI)

"God damn 'golden savage', I'm still a golden Saiyan..."

[Wait, are you the human from another world that was rumored? I thought that was just the crazy talk of those people? So it turns out to be true? ] (Nozomi AI)

"Um..."

[So, why did the Emperor ask you to come to me? Doesn't he always hate artificial intelligence? I've said it many times, I'm not one of those crazy AIs, but he still asked me to stay on Mars and wouldn't let me go out without his permission...] (Hope AI)

[I have to pretend to be a so-called machine spirit, and let those guys who have transformed themselves into something neither human nor ghost study me randomly...] (Hope AI)

"I am..."

[Oh, by the way, I detected a lot of people and troops rushing here, your people? ]

"...Can you still fly now?" Zhang Yi, who was interrupted again and again, finally uttered a sentence after a long time.

[Of course. Although a few small engines were destroyed in the name of research, I didn't let them enter the main engines.] (Nozomi AI)

"Then please close the door leading to this passage to slow down their advance, and start preparing for takeoff." Zhang Yi said. "I have the authority to do this, right?"

[Although you have not been registered in the database of humans in the Golden Age, you still have control over this ship with your impossibly pure human DNA] (Hope AI)

[Starting full ship self-inspection, power reactor power increased, engine preheating...] (Nozomi AI)

[Close the external entrance, close gates 135 to 216, activate the ship's internal defense system, and mark people within the range as enemies.] (Hope AI)

As the Hope AI issued the order, the originally silent ship the size of a continent began to vibrate, and this strange phenomenon was naturally sensed by the members of the Mechanicus on Mars.

A large number of Crusaders and [Intelligent Control Legion] began to rush towards the place where the [Hope] was placed, and some armies of different factions even clashed on the way.

The Crusader Army, which was closest to Zhang Yi's position, was unable to advance an inch due to the defensive measures within the Hope ship.

Soon after, a huge ship was launched into the sky, and as the Hope, a powerful ship from the Golden Age with the ability to destroy an entire galaxy, gradually broke away from the gravity of Mars, an earthquake that could be felt throughout the planet occurred.

Some people who knew the inside story were shocked by the sudden takeoff of the Hope, while many people who didn't know were surprised that there was such a large Golden Age ship hidden on Mars.

In just a few dozen minutes, the huge "Hope" arrived in outer space. At the same time, several ships loaded with "Imperial Fists" Space Marines and Imperial Guards appeared over Mars.

It will unite the loyalists on Mars, vent their anger on all those who attempt to betray the Empire, and make them pay the price.

This will also allow those wavering fence-sitters to make a decision.

Ringworld - Planet C02 / [Ashes]

This planet, which was originally controlled by the Mechanic race in the Ring World, has now been brought under the control of the Empire, and a large number of Mechanicus members are conducting "archaeology" on it.

The wreckage of the mechanical family, the unactivated mechanical facilities, and the various preserved data, these are what drive the oil men crazy.

And today, above this planet, a huge battleship is slowly sailing out of a familiar portal.

"It took me half my life to send you here..." Zhang Yi said, lying on the control table of the Hope. "Why did you grow so big..."

After assisting the Imperial Guards and [Imperial Fists] Space Marines to basically control the ring of Mars in space and ensure the stability of air supremacy in the universe, Zhang Yi brought the [Hope] ship to the ring world to inspect and transform it.

In order to send the Hope, which is as big as a continent, over there, Zhang Yi spent a lot of effort.

[My creator said that 'big ships and big guns' are a man's romance, and then I became this body shape] (Hope AI)

[Also, as a ship from the Golden Age, my size is still a normal size for a ship] (Nozomi AI)

"How outrageous were the humans of the Golden Age..."

[It's not outrageous at all, it's just that humans are too weak nowadays] (Hope AI)

Listening to the somewhat proud tone of "Hope", Zhang Yi was speechless, but this also reflected its attitude towards the current Warhammer humans - it doesn't like them, but it doesn't hate them either.

[Is this another world? I can detect a lot of unknown mechanical signals. I have updated the records in my own database and marked them as... Mechanical family?] (Hope AI)

"You have a lot of time to get familiar with this new world, but now, you need to conduct a comprehensive inspection and then install the [Curvature Engine] and [Energy Shield]. There will be a tough battle to fight later..."

"I need to plan and see what I need to do next..."

. . . . . .

"Are you sure you're not mistaken? Does the Lion King really look like this?"

"This is a portrait painted by the Emperor himself. It is said that he is exactly the same."

Taking the portrait handed to him by the unknown mechanical priest, Zhang Yi looked at the portrait of the Lion King on the paper, which was almost 60% like "Da Chao", with a subtle expression.

"... it's just fucking outrageous..."

According to the plan, Zhang Yi needs to call up those Primarchs who are still wandering outside or slacking off for various reasons as much as possible to do things at this stage. The first candidate is the Primarch of the [First Legion] who is sleeping in the [Monastery of the Knights of Order] - [Lion King] Lion.

Most of the other missing Primarchs are in the Warp, and it is not a good idea to look for them at this stage. Moreover, calling Lion back can alleviate the current predicament of the Empire to a certain extent - although even so, it still cannot withstand the full-scale attack of Chaos.

Probably the only one who knew Ryan's whereabouts was the Emperor. He drew Ryan's portrait with painting skills like a printer, and gave it to Zhang Yi, asking him to act as a medium to open a portal to his side.

As for why the Emperor was not allowed to come forward and the Dark Angels were allowed to bring out the Lion King... These crazy people have been crazy for a long time.

There had been a plan to revive the Lion King before, and the Lizardmen had clearly stated that as long as the person was carried over to the bubble pool, there was a high probability that he would be able to wake up - but because of the Dark Angels' extreme distrust of alien races, the matter had been delayed until now.

Since there was no way to reason, the emperor could only let Zhang Yi open the door and carry the coffin in which Ryan slept directly to the lizardman.

【Monastery of the Knights of Order】

In a secret chamber unknown to most Dark Angels, dozens of veterans of the Great Heresy were standing dutifully guarding the room where their Primarch was sleeping.

However, they did not notice that a white portal was slowly opening.

"This place is so narrow..." Zhang Yi said in a low voice, almost sticking to the wall. "Those old soldiers of the Dark Angels are actually watching their Primarch at all times, which really gave me an opportunity..."

Actually, it cannot be blamed on them. On the one hand, only a very small number of people know about this place, and the vast majority of Dark Angels Space Marines don't even know that such a place exists. On the other hand, in the deepest part of this monastery with layers of protection, even if a big demon comes, he will be beaten back.

In addition, the room where the lion king is placed is very small. After the lion king lies down, there is basically no space left - even if the [Raven Guard] comes, they can't get in here quietly.

But they obviously didn't expect that someone like Zhang Yi would enter there in a completely unreasonable way.

However, looking at the Lion King's body that was obviously much taller than his, Zhang Yi had to face another problem.

"How can I carry such a big man?" Zhang Yi murmured. "He is wearing a power armor, brother..."

At this moment, a strange noise was heard outside the heavy door. Obviously, even though Zhang Yi tried to lower his voice as much as possible, the veterans of the [Dark Angels] who had been responsible for protecting their original body for so long outside also noticed that something was wrong.

There was no time for Zhang Yi to think too much. He opened the portal again, took a deep breath, and lifted up the iron coffin containing Ryan.

"It's... it's so heavy!" Zhang Yi gritted his teeth. "If he's not dead, put him in such a big coffin! It's ugly and heavy!"

The door of the room had begun to clang, as if it had not been opened for a long time, making it impossible for the Dark Angel Space Marine veteran outside to open it immediately.

But when they finally opened the door that had not been opened for a long, long time, they immediately panicked.

Their Primarch, along with the coffin in which he lay, disappeared.

The loyal First Legion will definitely be in great chaos after this.

. . . . . .

Medieval World - Itaza

Today's medieval world is still under the protection mechanism left by the Ancient Saints. At the same time, the entire Lizardman has begun to gradually control the entire American continent and the Old World.

"I'm not feeling well at all..." Zhang Yi gasped as he lay on the animal-skin chair prepared by the spirit lizard. "The man plus the coffin he was lying in would crush him to death."

Several spirit lizards fanned Zhang Yi, who was exhausted, to cool him down and also brought him some fruit.

Ryan was carried into the Emerald Pool by several giant lizards. This was the largest incubation pool for the Lizardmen, which had once reshaped the body of Master Kroka. It would heal all the wounds on Ryan's body.

This process is expected to take about a day, during which Zhang Yi will communicate with Master Kroka to determine their role in future chaos attacks.

The Lizardmen are naturally willing to help the current Human Empire overcome difficulties. After all, once the Human Empire is completely finished and the protection of the [Ancient Saints] disappears, they are likely to become the next target of Chaos.

"More and more [Ancient Saint] relics are being unearthed, and the remaining [Ancient Saint] enemies are being gradually cleared out. One [Incubation Pool] after another is being activated, and new magic toads are starting to hatch..."

"Abandoned temples have been reactivated, old temples have begun to be renovated, and new temples are being built..."

"But this is far from enough..."

Master Kroka, under the protection of dozens of [Temple Guards] wearing equipment that clearly showed traces of technology, narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke to Zhang Yi who was sitting in front of him.

"Even if we try our best, within the estimated time, we can only send hundreds of thousands of warriors, dozens of new magic toads and three small warships to assist you. You and I both know that this number is a drop in the bucket for Chaos's general offensive..."

"It's better to have it than nothing." Zhang Yi shrugged helplessly and responded. "Thank you, Master Kroka..."

"There is no need to do so. After all, the lips and teeth are interdependent..." Master Kroka said. "If the human empire disappears, then the next one will be our turn..."

"At that time, I will let Mazdamuddin personally lead the team to assist you to ensure that everything goes smoothly..."

At this time, a lizard priest who was responsible for healing Ryan walked in and said.

"There was something wrong with the treatment..."

． ． ． A few dozen minutes later...

Zhang Yi and Master Kroka came to the Emerald Pool together, where Ryan, wearing power armor, was soaking in it.

"The injuries have been healed, but he hasn't woken up yet," said the Lizard Priest.

"I already know." Master Kroka said. "He has recovered, but because he slept for too long, he can't wake up immediately."

"You are sleepy, right?" Zhang Yi complained. "I may have a way. Let me try it?"

With Master Kroka's permission, Zhang Yi stepped into the gem-like pool and began to slowly approach Ryan in the pool.

The water had completely healed him from the inside out, and his Lion now seemed to be asleep - in some ways, Lion was not seriously injured, and if the Dark Angels had been less obsessed and sent their Primarch to Terra, he might have woken up long ago.

At this time, Zhang Yi approached Ryan cautiously, leaned close to his ear and spoke.

"Lion~ If you don't wake up~ The position of Warmaster will be handed over to Leman Russ~"

"!!!"

247. Exorcist of the Dead

"Lion~ If you don't wake up~ The position of Warmaster will be handed over to Leman Russ~"

When Zhang Yi said this jokingly, he clearly saw Ryan, who was originally in a deep sleep, and his face twitched noticeably, but even so, he still did not wake up.

"Hmm..." Zhang Yi was a little embarrassed when he saw the lion king, who was obviously moving but still not awake. "It seems that was really a joke..."

"Should we call Old Bacon over to take a look..."

Pfft!

Just as Zhang Yi turned around and prepared to go ashore, a big hand suddenly grabbed his head and pressed it into the water.

"Don't move! You filthy aliens!" The roar of the lion king resounded throughout the space where the Emerald Pool was located. "What did you do to me?!"

That's right, Ryan was awake, but after seeing the lizardmen around him, he did not wake up immediately. Instead, he chose to take Zhang Yi, a potentially very important "running dog", as a hostage.

However, the aliens around were not as panicked as expected, but they were not unresponsive either. Instead...

"Gululululu~" (My neck hurts, please be gentle)

Zhang Yi, who was pushed into the water, did not struggle because of suffocation as Ryan had imagined. Instead, he kept spitting bubbles in the water.

"Gululululu~" (I'm your new brother, let go)

"Gululululu~" (I'm in the same group with you, let go of your hands)

"Gululululu~" (Huh? How can I breathe in the water?)
