Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"Is Leman Russ here?"

Zhang Yi stretched his upper body into the portal leading to the subspace and shouted into it.

However, no one seemed to respond to him...

"..."

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yi took out the industrial alcohol he had prepared in advance, unscrewed the bottle cap, and poured it into the portal.

Almost instantly, Zhang Yi felt a white shadow flash past from his right, and at the same time the industrial alcohol in his hand was taken away.

"Gulp! It's gone? I only drank less than a sip!"

"..." Looking at Leman Russ who was holding the wine bottle which was only half the size of his palm and constantly trying to pour more alcohol out of it, Zhang Yi didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Cough cough."

Zhang Yi coughed twice, attracting Leman Russ's attention.

"Leman Russ, the Primarch of the Space Wolves Chapter, right?" Zhang Yi said. "The Human Empire needs you now."

"Who do you think you are? Huh?! Why should I listen to you?" Leman Russ looked like he didn't believe Zhang Yi at all and said. "Who are you?"

"..."

[Wolf King] - Leman Russ's reaction was within Zhang Yi's expectations. After all, Leman Russ didn't know Zhang Yi before, and in this hellish place called the subspace, there were few things that could be believed.

Zhang Yi was not unprepared for this situation.

Zhang Yi first took out a bottle of industrial alcohol and threw it to Leman Russ to prevent him from leaving. Then he showed the holy object given to him by the Emperor to prove himself.

"The Emperor has escaped. You don't need to keep looking for him." Zhang Yi said. "The Empire needs you to go back and face the crisis together."

Looking at the golden double-headed eagle emblem with the aura of the emperor in Zhang Yi's hand, Leman Russ was a little uncertain while holding the bottle of wine - anything could happen in this ghost place called the Subspace, and he couldn't be sure whether what Zhang Yi said and the thing in his hand were true.

"You've been away for so long, it wouldn't be a problem for you to go back and take a look, right?" Zhang Yi said to Leman Russ, who was already a little shaken. "I can guarantee that as long as you leave the warp, I can take you to see the Emperor."

The Wolf King is the most loyal Primarch to the Emperor. When the Emperor was trapped on the Golden Throne because of the battle with Horus, he led his troops into the Eye of Terror without saying a word, to bring back something that could heal the Emperor - he has not given up until now.

Now he has not found that thing, but Zhang Yi said that the Emperor has stood up again... Leman Russ has indeed not returned to the Empire for a long time.

Although he wanted to refute Zhang Yi's statement that 'you can see the emperor when you go out', the token and the door in his hand made him feel that he might not be lying...

"Okay, I'll go back with you."

As he spoke, Leman Russ threw the bottle in his hand and was about to walk towards the portal opened by Zhang Yi.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Zhang Yi hurriedly asked Leman Russ to stop. If he stepped out, he would be wiped out. "You don't have to go this way..."

"Isn't there a door? Why won't you let me out?!"

"If you want me to spend a long time giving you a long and boring explanation, then I can explain it to you..." Zhang Yi said, blocking the portal. "If you don't want to listen, then wait."

Considering that the entire wolf pack had previously treated the Codex Astartes as toilet paper, Leman Russ was most likely just like his cubs, with no interest in quibbling over words - from the fact that after Zhang Yi said that, Leman Russ stood back obediently after a little thought, it could be seen that he was the same as the other wolf cubs, and Zhang Yi's persuasion method was very successful.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi took a deep breath, and then prepared to open another portal while maintaining one portal.

After experiencing so many things, Zhang Yi has been able to open the portal more skillfully, but he is still far from being able to use the portal in a variety of ways like Master Ancient One and others.

For example, opening a portal to a different destination while maintaining a portal is something Zhang Yi has never tried before - at least subjectively, Zhang Yi has never succeeded.

The target of the second portal is a pre-prepared desolate planet far away from the center of the empire. A certain amount of [Black Stone] things that can suppress the subspace have been arranged on it in advance to reduce the erosion of the subspace on the real world.

"As soon as I open the door, you run out, understand?" Zhang Yi said to Leman Russ. "You should know how dangerous the subspace is, right?"

"I understand! I will run out as soon as you open the door, and then you close it." The wolf king said. "Let's get started, don't waste time."

At the urging of the Wolf King, Zhang Yi maintained the portal in front of him while opening another portal in the subspace where Leman Russ was.

A white dot appeared near the Wolf King and slowly expanded. At the same time, the malicious energy in the subspace began to flow towards the new exit.

But when the portal expanded to a size large enough for a Primarch to pass through, a white shadow rushed out, followed by a loud noise.

"Who placed the black stone at the exit?!"

Leman Russ slammed his head against the black stone wall and cursed, and Zhang Yi then opened another portal and came to his side.

"I did what you said. Now let me see the Emperor." Leman Russ said angrily. "You better have the ability..."

Another portal opened, and the emperor with long flowing hair was sitting on the back of a male fire dragon, jumping up and down as the dragon struggled madly.

"You're having a great time, old man!" Zhang Yi said to the Emperor. "I brought Leman Russ with me."

Seeing Zhang Yi and the Wolf King who was a little unresponsive, the Emperor jumped up and punched the [Male Fire Dragon] on the head, knocking it to the ground, and then jumped in front of Zhang Yi and the others.

"It's like taming a wild bull," said the Emperor. "It's awesome!"

"Please spare them. With your physique, some large dragon species are no match for you..." Zhang Yi said.

"It's a step-by-step approach, isn't it?" the Emperor said, then looked at Leman Russ, whose eyes were glowing, and pointed at the Male Rathalos that had slowly woken up behind him. "Would you like to try, Leman Russ?"

At this moment, the [Male Fire Dragon] that had just been beaten unconscious by the Emperor suddenly felt a chill sweeping over its body.

(Male Rathalos: Don’t come over here!!!)

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Warp - Arena of Khorne

brush--!

Another head fell to the ground, and countless heads of different shapes piled up to form a tall landscape. A huge red figure bathed in blood stood above the landscape.

"I! Angron! Am the strongest!"

"I will challenge! That [Demon Slayer]! I will prove how powerful I am!"

Countless demons and fallen ones are cheering for the champion of this competition and for the slaughter that is about to begin.

For Khorne himself, who is witnessing this selection!

. . . . . .

"This is an opportunity, an opportunity to prove once again that I am right, but..."

A huge dark figure was wandering nearby, which made Luo Jia a little annoyed and helpless.

"I must find a way out. I can't miss it. I can't be left here!"

"Erebus! Go and lead him away!"

“??? (Little question mark: Do you have many friends?)”

. . . . . .

The huge plague planet broke away from the warp and came to the edge of the empire's territory. At the same time, a large number of ships wrapped in plague and even with tentacles followed it out of the warp.

On the [Endurance] - [Glorious Queen-class battleship], countless mosquitoes and plagues enveloped the battleship, and the Primarch of the [Death Guard] chapter was also on this ship.

Mortarion, who had ascended to the level of a demon, sat alone in his room, waiting for the attack to begin.

"...Father..."

"... Has the Empire reached the point where it has to cooperate with alien races..."

"...You have taken away the credit and glory that originally belonged to me, and under your rule, the entire empire is deteriorating..."

"...I will make you pay the price you deserve. I will prove that you are wrong..."

"...Father and my brothers..."

. . . . . .

In Slaanesh's palace, the revelry and slaughter never stopped.

Fulgrim, the Primarch of the Emperor's Children who defected to Slaanesh, has lost his handsome appearance as a human. Now that he is half human and half snake, he has completely turned into a monster, a toy and tool in the hands of Slaanesh.

But when he swore to Slaanesh that he would bring Zhang Yi back as his master, he did not realize that a former shadow had been released into human territory.

"Where am I?"

"Empire, what's wrong?"

. . . . . .

"Some... 'magic pony' wants to betray me?"

"Let me go. His soul is in my hands and can't cause any trouble."

"And I've lost interest in him~ The infinite world is more attractive to me~"

"I need an insurance, now, he has completed it~"

"Oh~ He will definitely be able to bring a big surprise to that little guy~"

"My Servant~"

250.More Preparations (I)

After having fun with Monster Hunter for a while, Leman Russ was driven back to the 40K universe by the Emperor. He gathered together the wolf cubs who were as difficult to deal with as him, and together with the Iron Hands Chapter, he was responsible for the defense of several planets with large vortex devices.

Recently, Chaos ships have frequently appeared near the Empire's territory, and many planets with weak defenses have suffered attacks to varying degrees.

Among them, the main forces near the Maelstrom are those of Slaanesh and Khorne, while the forces of Nurgle appear near Macragge.

Tzeentch's troops seem to be everywhere, but so far the Empire's intelligence and reconnaissance departments have not found their main force - this is not a good thing.

Previously, Guilliman went to the Eldar planet [Nuwenus], wanting them to help the Empire resist the impending Chaos invasion.

However, there is no harmony among the Eldar now - although the previous prophecy did win over a large number of supporters for Evelyne, there are still many people who oppose the idea of ​​standing together with humans. After all, the attack of Chaos is very fierce.

In this regard, Zhang Yi plans to talk with Everenee again to ensure the participation of the Eldar. The Eldar and the Eldar Death Gods are important forces for the Empire to contain Slaanesh. If the Empire wants to ensure its survival as much as possible, then it is necessary to let them join.

In addition, the Emperor also sends as many Imperial officials, members of the State Religion, Inquisitors, and other beings who are absolutely loyal to the Empire as possible to the XCOM world or the Ring World in his name, in order to ensure the spark of the Empire to a certain extent.

There are still a small number of members of the Mechanicum who are resisting on the Forge World of Mars. These guys, who have enjoyed superior privileges in the Human Empire for so many years, are reluctant to share their privileges, nor do they want to stand with the Empire.

The entire vast human empire was mobilized for its survival, but these preparations were still not enough under the all-out attack of Chaos. For this reason, the human empire colonies in other worlds also began preparations.

In the XCOM world, the exploration of extrasolar planets has been suspended, and all materials are converging on Mars in that world. Kadoc has also gone there to oversee the manufacturing, production and construction of weapons, equipment and various facilities.

Likewise, the exploration of more galaxies in the Ringworlds was halted. Ringworlds are called Ringworlds/Edgeworlds because they are located on the outskirts of the Milky Way where galaxies are not densely packed together, which means it takes a long time to travel from one galaxy to another.

Half of the expeditionary force stayed behind to consolidate the rule of the planets in the occupied galaxies, while the other half immediately returned to the 40K world to prepare for the battle that might begin at any time.

A large number of technical talents were transferred to the research, development and manufacturing of technology and equipment - of course, this included many mechanics or scientists from the [Charm Fox Tribe]. Their various abilities and skills made the busy mechanics there have to admit that this included the [Naizi Machine Soul Soothing Technique]. It seemed that all mature [Charm Fox Tribe] were "proficient in this".

(Members of the Adeptus Mechanicus: This is neither scientific nor loyal!)

Although for various reasons, these sophisticated equipment from another world cannot be deployed on a large scale and can most likely only be used by Zhang Yi's [Pathfinder] Regiment and its Astra Militarum, but it's better than nothing, isn't it?

In addition, there is Lelouch, who is still in the Type-Moon world. He proposed that Zhang Yi send part of the army to occupy the [Area 11] in his world to produce a small number of light mechas (Knightmares) for their world.

The reason is as Zhang Yi said, although the armaments that a small piece of land on a planet can provide are scarce, it is better to have them than nothing.

"Although the Knightmare has no advantage in terms of all aspects compared to the many weapons and equipment in the world over there, it can be equipped with heavy weapons to target the Space Marines in the enemy." Lelouch suggested to Zhang Yi. "Based on the production time of the Space Marines, even if the loss ratio reaches 50:1, it is still a success, right?"

"...Are you so eager to bring your father down?" Zhang Yi said bluntly. "How many Knightmares can a small country produce? How much can they help in a war that could potentially sweep across half the galaxy?"

"50:1? If we encounter veteran Space Marines from some places, we may not even be able to achieve a 100:1 casualty ratio."

"Besides, you should know what the consequences will be if you fool us, right?"

"...I know very well."

Lelouch knew very well what would happen to his world if he angered the man in front of him and the empire behind him - at this critical moment, the entire planet might be reduced to ashes because of his behavior.

Given the absolute gap in power and military strength, even if Lelouch was extremely intelligent, he wouldn't be able to turn the tables - even Zhuge Liang couldn't use the soldiers from the Three Kingdoms period, who were armed with cold weapons, to defeat the Space Marines, right?

However, after he learns the facts behind his childhood experiences, he is eager to make his father and all of Britain give an explanation and pay the price.

"To be honest, now that I think about it, I should have looked for your brother more than you." Zhang Yi said. "Compared to a poor prince who lives in exile and worries about food and clothing every day, the second prince who has a lot of real power is more valuable..."

"Moreover, he can provide more help to the current empire, and can also bypass the eyes of VV and your father Charles..."

"But never mind, the choice has been made."

As he spoke, Zhang Yi threw a metal plate with the Imperial double-headed eagle logo to Lelouch.

"A certificate from the planetary governor." Zhang Yi said. "After you successfully occupy the Earth in that world, that planet will be under your management..."

"A regiment of Astra Militarum (50000 men) and two teams of Space Marines under my command will go to your world, occupy Sector and ensure that it is under our control. Also going with them are a certain number of Titan Guards and two Warhound-class Titans with conditional support from the Subspace Raiders..."

"These troops will only ensure the control of [District 11]. As for the rest, it's up to you..."

"Lelouch Vi Britannia..."
