Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"I will try my best to maintain this state, but my own recovery ability will not allow me to maintain it for too long."

"That's enough." Zhang Yi said. "I will decide as soon as possible where to release him..."

Warhammer 40K World

Harrow, a remote planet far away from the main planets of the empire.

This is a remote planet that is not located on most of the empire's main shipping routes and hub planets, which can be called 'neither grandma nor mother loves'.

And precisely because of this, the remote location prevents this planet from becoming rich, and it also avoids most battles. This planet is not on the attack route of this chaos.

But this time they were unable to maintain their luck again - a large number of Dark Eldar troops attacked here.

. . . . . .

"The outskirts of the city have completely fallen!"

"Those aliens are slaughtering people wantonly in the city!"

"We can't stop them! The troops are retreating again!"

Although the alliance between Everenne and the Human Empire has greatly eased the originally hostile relationship between the Eldar and humans, there are still many Eldar who are unwilling to coexist peacefully with humans, just like the Dark Eldar raiding team that raided this planet this time.

They raided the planet and destroyed the few defense fleets and high-altitude defense weapons above the planet.

Then they drove and slaughtered the humans and defense forces on the planet like animals.

The planetary defense forces and the planetary governors were helpless and could only retreat again and again and watch the aliens being slaughtered on their planets.

"We can't defend this place. We need to leave." The old planetary governor said to his chief defense commander. "We need a ship. It doesn't even need to be too big. We just need..."

"There are no more ships," the commander-in-chief interrupted him. "All the planetary defense ships have been destroyed, and now all the merchants have left."

"This shouldn't be the case. This shouldn't be the case. They promised..."

"We need to defend the inner city. With the terrain and fixed weapons here, we can hold out for a long time."

"So what? Those aliens are determined to slaughter us all. If there is no reinforcement, we can only close the door and wait for death!"

"So what on earth is the reconnaissance team doing! Why did the Dark Eldar ships suddenly appear within our defense range, and then destroy all the high-altitude defense ships and facilities as if they were taking candy from a bag?!"

"I have an idea..."

At this moment, the astropath's voice that stood out from the crowd sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

"Fortunately, several ships belonging to our planet were once called upon to complete a secret mission somewhere in the empire's territory..."

"And for the price of this call, we have gained a huge amount of wealth..."

"Yes, I know about this, Astropath," said the planetary governor. "Those ships and merchants have never returned since then, but we have also received a huge amount of compensation for it."

"That's only part of it," said the Astropath. "Our planet was promised that if we encountered problems that we could not solve, we would receive strong assistance from the Empire..."

"Assistance from the Imperial Angels..."

260. The prologue begins (V)

"We will receive assistance from the angels of the Empire..."

This news is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the entire planet today, but another problem has arisen.

In this remote planet, which is almost not on any major route of the Empire, and even the main forces of Chaos are unwilling to pass through, even if the signal is sent, can the Empire really receive it? Even if it is received, how long will it take for the Empire to respond and arrive here?

"It's too late!" The commander-in-chief of the Planetary Defense Force (PDF) slammed the table, somewhat annoyed. "We can't possibly hold on until then!"

Yes, maybe there would be a chance if it was earlier, but given the current situation, they would most likely not be able to wait for the reinforcements to arrive.

"We need to try. Even if it's too late, we can't give this planet to the aliens!" said a defense soldier who attended the meeting. "If we all become corpses in the end, then we must also turn those aliens who attacked our planet into corpses!"

"But in the current situation, we cannot guarantee whether the message we send out can be..."

"Don't worry about that." The Astropath interrupted the commander again and took out a golden double-headed eagle logo. "This is the power from the Emperor we believe in..."

"Even if we are on the other side of the galaxy, our message will arrive as expected..."

The golden double-headed eagle emitting a faint glow in the hands of the Astropath, undoubtedly once again revived the originally depressed period, at least on the surface.

Then the next thing to do is very clear - after sending out the call for help, rely on the inner city's fortifications as much as possible to hold out until the defense force is completely wiped out, or... reinforcements arrive.

Everything is for the Emperor

Everything is for humanity

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

a few days later

Boom--!

The light spears of the Dark Eldar [Ravager] once again melted down a fixed turret on the city wall, and then a large number of [Conspiracy Warriors], led by a [Pain Engine], began to attack the closed city gate.

The defenders near the city gate immediately began firing at the incoming enemy forces. The red beams of the beam rifles illuminated the dim streets, and several Dark Eldar warriors in the front were knocked down by the incoming beams.

The huge and ferocious [Engine of Pain] appeared at the forefront of the entire team. The light firepower of the defense forces could not penetrate the heavy armor covering it.

Boom--!

The only remaining turret on the city wall fired at the ground, stirring up a large amount of smoke and dust, but the next second, the painful engine with countless torture instruments rushed out of the dense smoke and dust and continued to rush towards the position of the Planet Defense Force.

The sandbags used as cover were blown up directly, and the high-speed rotating circular saw chopped down directly on the head of a defender, splitting the man in half with a trail of blood and brain tissue.

Seeing this, the other Dark Eldar warriors also picked up their melee weapons, rushed into the human position, and began their "feast".

He tried to fire the city defense weapons once again, but was destroyed by the Dark Eldar airship in the distance. The enemies on it then operated the airship to attack the defenders on the city wall.

The reason why the defenders were able to hold the inner city and avoid being captured by the enemy in the previous few days was largely because the Dark Eldar did not want to end the game so quickly.

But now, they seemed bored, tired of this 'boring' killing - they needed something more interesting.

The city wall here was quickly lost under the enemy's attack. The poorly trained and poorly equipped planetary defense forces were completely unable to resist the attack of the Dark Eldar. Although they did not collapse at the first blow, they were unable to launch an effective counterattack. Some struggles only made these confused Dark Eldars more excited.

They held out for nearly ten days, but normally it would take much longer for reinforcements to arrive. It seemed that everything was over...

But that's just under normal circumstances.

. . . . . .

The Eldar ships located above the planet were quietly docked above the planet, looking down at the "resistance performance" of humans, the only ones who were interested.

Therefore, they did not notice that a spot of light appeared in the universe not far away and gradually expanded.

"Ok?"

But they discovered something wrong from the detector. A huge human warship had appeared within their detectable range.

[Hope]

boom!

Gathering all its power, the Hope smashed the largest enemy ship like a mountain, then several turrets on the ship turned and aimed at the remaining smaller Dark Eldar ships.

[To control the air supremacy of the Haro Star universe, you can start to transport other ships] (Hope AI)

The portal opened again, and Zhang Yi's original flagship, the Unknown Hope, and several ships with the logos of other Space Marine chapters sailed out of the portal.

[All personnel have arrived. We have determined the location of the remaining troops on our planet. We are preparing to provide airdrop support.] (Hope AI)

[Adjust the priority and make a bowl of pork rib soup for the captain first] (Hope AI)

"... (vomiting soul)..." (In a short period of time, a large number of warships were transported at once, which was a pity)

The Dark Eldar who were enjoying the killing on the ground had no idea that their ships in orbit above the planet had all stopped responding and were still indulging in the massacre of humans on the planet.

Another human defense line was penetrated by the Dark Eldar. A retreating planetary defense soldier raised his head in despair and looked at the gray sky.

Thick clouds blocked the light of the stars, making the area as dark as night, with only a few... starlight?!

The desperate defender saw the fire produced by the friction between the falling Space Marine drop pod and the atmosphere.

"Space Marines! Angels of the Empire are coming..."

puff!

He didn't have time to finish his words as a Dark Eldar holding a sharp blade stabbed the weapon into his chest and broke it open.

Blood and various internal organs flowed out of his abdominal cavity. The human defender covered his wound and stretched out his hand towards the sky.

brush!

Without mercy, the Dark Eldar severed his outstretched arm with a single blow, then chopped off his head.

An extremely unwilling expression was still frozen on his face. After doing all this, the Dark Eldar warrior grabbed the head and looked at his masterpiece with great satisfaction.

Bang--!

Just as he was intoxicated, the sound of something heavy falling was heard. When he looked in the direction of the sound, a heavy metal hatch flew towards him.

"!"

The Dark Eldar warrior dodged the sudden attack by turning sideways, but the next moment, a Space Marine from the Imperial Fists rushed over like a tank at full speed.

bite--!

boom!

The melee weapon made of unknown material that could easily cut through the armor of the Planetary Defense Force and human flesh could only shallowly penetrate the heavy shield of the [Imperial Fist] Space Marine, and then he was knocked away.

The Eldar generally have agility far beyond that of ordinary humans, but this also makes them relatively vulnerable.

The Dark Eldar was hit by this force and flew a long distance on the ground before finally stopping after crashing into a pile of ruins. At this moment, the tall figure of the Space Marine appeared in front of him.

"You need to pay for everything you've done! Aliens!"

boom!

. . . . . .

"Thank God! We are saved!" The planetary governor was relieved as he watched more and more space capsules falling from the sky. "It's the angels of the Empire! They really came to save us!"

"Commander-in-chief! We need to establish contact with these adults immediately and have the servants prepare for the banquet. We cannot just ignore the help of these adults."

"...yes."

As the commander of one of the few defenders on the planet, he discovered something was wrong - too many space capsules had landed.

Although there were also a lot of Dark Eldar attacking the planet, from what he saw, there were dozens of space capsules falling, with the logos of at least three different chapters.

This made her start thinking - why were there so many different space marines coming to this planet at the same time?

He doesn't know it now, but he will know it soon...

261. The prologue begins (VI)

[Imperial Fists], [Ultramarines], [Space Wolves] and [Pathfinders].

Space Marines from at least four different chapters parachuted onto the planet simultaneously. This was a huge shock to both the humans and the Dark Eldar who came to plunder and enjoy killing - was it that serious for a small number of us?

After a company of Space Marines airdropped in and cleared a large safe area, a large number of transport ships began to land, transporting a large number of Astra Militarum troops and heavy equipment to the ground and began to build various fortifications.

The temporary airport was built, and then dozens of fighter jets took control of the air supremacy in the area and shot down all air units that did not belong to them.

The former hunters became prey. Groups of Space Marines, carrying equipment they had never seen before, drove them away just like they were ordinary humans on this planet at the time, constantly reducing their range of activities and turning them into corpses on the ground one by one.

Biubiubius--!

Dozens of Dark Eldar simultaneously opened fire at the Imperial Fists Space Marines in their sight, and the crystal fragments accelerated to supersonic speed flew towards the enemies holding large shields.

Then, the plunderers saw a blue transparent energy shield light up in front of the Space Marines, blocking all the incoming crystal bullets.

There are similar things among the Eldar and Dark Eldar, but you have to know that only a few leading beings will use such things. It will never be the case that almost all enemies in front of them have one like what they see now!

Where did these local forces come from?! How could a small group of predators like us allow such a force to trigger so many people to surround and suppress us?!

The [Imperial Fists] Space Marines in front of these Dark Eldars were like a moving wall, slowly approaching them, while their bolters kept shooting at them, and every bullet could accurately kill the Dark Eldar warriors.

All attempts to counterattack or break out ended in failure, and the encircled enemies were completely defeated by the Space Marines of the Imperial Fists.

"May the Emperor bless you, sir." A planetary defense soldier stationed here walked out of the bunker with the remaining garrison and gave the [Sky Eagle Salute] to the tall warriors. "Thank you for coming..."

"We have run out of ammunition and food. Some enemies have already rushed into the inner city, and there are still many ordinary people inside."

"We will handle all the problems on this planet." The leading [Imperial Fists] Space Marine responded. "But after that, you will need to accept conscription..."
