Warhammer 40 A New Hope

Squeak--whoosh!

The second plasma ball was fired, and the plasma gun in the Space Marine's hand overheated and was dropped to the ground, and the etheric psychic shield was temporarily destroyed. Another Space Marine was already within reach.

brush!

The tactical dagger slashed horizontally, and Aether's head and his helmet were blown off, and then blood spurted into the sky.

The Space Marine who successfully killed Aether did not stop, but instead stabbed the captured Chosen Assassin with his backhand.

boom!

A piece of arm flew up with a gunshot, and the assassin's figure appeared on the other side.

At the critical moment, he shot his captured hand with the shotgun he was carrying at almost zero distance, and successfully escaped at the cost of almost breaking his hand.

"Don't think you've won!" The assassin said viciously, covering his lost arm. "I will come back for revenge!"

Once again, the assassin [The Chosen One] disappeared in front of the two Space Marines.

Explanation of some issues

1. Why didn't the Emperor give the protagonist more troops?

It's not just one reader who asked this question. There are indeed thousands of Astra Militarum troops, five Space Marines, and a Moon-class cruiser.

This is too little protection for an existence that can completely make the empire rise again ((*/ω＼*))

The author explains this as follows:

Now the Emperor is testing the protagonist, because at the beginning the Emperor intended to directly control the protagonist, turn him into a puppet, and then go to another Earth through him and occupy it.

But the protagonist persuaded the emperor to give him time to prove himself, and that maintaining his self-awareness would allow him to bring more to the empire.

For various reasons, the Emperor agreed to the deal and gave him a limited force.

If, with limited military forces, the protagonist can rely on himself and these troops to obtain sufficient benefits for the empire, then the entire human empire can gain even more.

The sent out imperial guards and the [Son of the Stars] residing in the protagonist's body are, on the one hand, convenient for making decisions on behalf of the entire human empire at certain times, and on the other hand, for rescuing and controlling the protagonist when he tries to escape, messes up, or fails, and bringing him back to Terra to be turned into a puppet.

2. Regarding combat power

Comparing the combat power of different worlds has always been a common topic. People have different opinions on who is stronger between Guan Gong and Qin Qiong.

The same is true for this book. The author can only arrange the combat strength as reasonably as possible.

But considering that Warhammer 40K itself has certain power collapse problems, and different people have different opinions, I can't help if readers feel that the power comparison in some places is unfair or there is a pressure on the power.

However, I think there is no problem with the comparison of combat power in the Warhammer section. After all, a small-scale army going to the medieval world may not necessarily gain any benefits.

Not to mention the Chaos side, even the Lizardmen of Order, the best among them, Master Kroka, has powerful magic/psychic power that affects the entire planet. Even if he has become a corpse now, he may come back to life and hit people at any time.

Therefore, a moon-class cruiser may not be enough to defeat the monsters and demons in the medieval world.

3. About update issues

Some people urged me to update too slowly, which is true o(╥﹏╥)o

The author still has to go to work, and has been very busy recently (the author is also working on Warhammer 3 and Xcom2·Long·War), so the author also has time to eat, right?

I don't think one chapter a day is too slow, and there should be a bounty next week.

The author actually has quite a few manuscripts in reserve (he has no cure for hamster disease). If there are really so many people reading this book and there are enough votes to reward it, it would not be impossible for me to update more at that time.

25. The First Inter-Universe War (IV)

The battle eventually ended with the death of Aether and the departure of the last Chosen One.

The disconnection of the psychic network once again became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the alien army.

The alien troops, which had lost their coordination and order, were completely annihilated by a wave of counterattacks by the Astra Militarum. The angry Astra Militarum killed all the hostile non-human races on the battlefield.

On the other hand, XCOM and other major faction leaders also had a preliminary result on Zhang Yi's proposal.

The leader of the Death Faction, Volker, firmly opposed it. They did not trust these human-looking "aliens". Their trust in the Skirmishers did not mean that they trusted all other aliens.

The leader of the [Scattered Soldiers] faction, Betos, said that they could give it a try, after all, they were also some aliens who had been transformed and were out of control.

The leader of the [Knights Templar] faction, Gast, has always been a relatively Buddhist person. He just said that he could give it a try without saying much.

After all, in their opinion, there is nothing to worry about now, and the important thing is to find out those enemies who can beat the elders and make them run away.

One vote against and two votes in favor

The people of XCOM decided to trust Zhang Yi and others for the time being. After all, the military strength they had just demonstrated in their battle with the Elders' troops was enough to crush any rebel organization, especially since they had the ability to defeat the Elders' army.

Avenger - Commander's Room

Commander, Military Officer, Dr. Tegan, Shen Lili

Member of the [Scrapper] faction stationed on the Avenger - Mox

Member of the Death Faction stationed on the Avenger - Elena

A member of the Templar Knights stationed on the Avenger - Quarles

"...The last time I saw this kind of scene was last time." Zhang Yi said something a little nervous. "So, what is your decision?"

"We have tentatively agreed to cooperate with you in fighting the Elder and his alien forces," the commander said. "However, we have a few requests."

"First, I need you to provide equipment similar to yours for our entire Avenger, which consists of approximately one hundred soldiers."

"Sure." Zhang Yi said. They had plenty of weapons. "But you'd better be mentally prepared. Our engineers... are a little crazy."

At this point, everyone in XCOM looked at the only engineer present, Shen Lili, as if they wanted her to talk about how crazy an engineer could be.

"What's the next condition?" Zhang Yi interrupted everyone's random thoughts.

"You said before that you wanted to attack and occupy a certain city?" Mox said. "We want to control half of the city, no matter what the process!"

"Such a big appetite?" Zhang Yi said, looking at the scattered soldier Mox, who looked like a human because of the transformation of the elders. "Okay."

"But I need you to conduct a city structure reconnaissance for us before the attack, and determine the location of the city's psychic transmitters." Zhang Yi said. "You should know how troublesome those psychic enemies are. When the battle really starts, you will also be responsible for the evacuation of ordinary people, and when necessary, you will also be required to do your best to participate in the battle."

The three faction soldiers nodded, and the military officer and commander also agreed.

"Finally," the commander, who had been silent all this time, said, "I hope that you can provide some personnel support for some special missions."

"It's like the [Avatar Project], right?"

"!"

Zhang Yi directly stated the biggest problem on the planet at this stage, shocking everyone present.

"I don't want to explain in detail why I know this, because it would be very troublesome to explain," Zhang Yi said. "You have stated your requirements, and now it's my turn."

"We also need some information and samples of your weapons technology. Don't ask why."

"In addition, from what I understand, there should be a small number of rebellious mutants and aliens in your team. You'd better warn them in advance."

"Most of our soldiers don't like aliens, especially those who have slaughtered humans, so we will also take precautions in advance."

"You don't want to see us fighting over this, do you?"

"Finally, I hope you are prepared," Zhang Yi said. "The world is not just what you see."

The last sentence puzzled almost everyone present, except the representative of the Knights Templar.

But before he could ask any questions, Zhang Yi stood up and prepared to leave.

"This is the preliminary agreement, I'll go back and make the arrangements now. I can already imagine how Master Kadoc will make a fuss..." Zhang Yi said, and then looked at the XCOM commander. "By the way, if you want to know more about why the elders are so concerned about you, you can come to us."

"Varied..."

The door of the commander's room opened, but Zhang Yi, who was about to walk out, was stopped by the imperial guards on both sides.

Outside the door, the two ordinary XCOM soldiers who were originally guarding outside the room were now nowhere to be found.

"Something is wrong." The military officer immediately noticed the problem and stood in front of the commander, pressing the communicator on his ear. "Report on the internal status of the Avenger."

[Everything is normal, military officer] The voice of the duty personnel came from the communication [There are no large-scale enemies nearby, and there are no abnormal reports from the soldiers at the entrance and exit]

[It's just that those 'humanoid aliens' had some conflicts with our people when they were cleaning up the battlefield. We have sent people to negotiate, and there are no other problems now.]

"Where's the guard outside the door?"

[They should still be at the door and not have left]

"careful!"

squeak!

boom!

[Death] Elena suddenly shot in the direction of Zhang Yi, and at the same time a dagger suddenly appeared in the air and was blown away by the bullet.

[Skirmisher] Mox took action next, firing a stream of bullets into the air with his buttless rifle.

Dangdangdang!

All the fired bullets were cut down in mid-air, and the figure of the Chosen Assassin appeared.

"The Avenger has been invaded by the Chosen One! Repeat! The Avenger has been invaded by the Chosen One!" The military officer immediately called the main control room via the communicator. "Red alert! Send the soldiers who can move here immediately!"

bite--!

A purple blade with psychic lightning extended from the arm of [Templar] Quarles and slashed towards the invading [Chosen One] assassin, but was dodged by the latter's nimble body.

The Chosen Assassin successfully avoided Quarles who was attacking her after a leap, then turned around and knocked down the bullet shot by Elena, while throwing out a round object with purple lines.

Buzz——!

A shrill buzzing sound rang out in this narrow passage, and as the psychic power erupted from the buzzing sound, the people present became dazed, putting down the things in their hands or covering their ears.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the [Chosen One] assassin who sneaked in kicked away Quarles who was also affected to a certain extent behind him (he didn't learn Fortress~), took out a dagger, and stabbed Zhang Yi who was not far away.

"I told you! I will come back for revenge!"

Just when she thought she was about to succeed, she suddenly discovered that the high-level human leader who appeared suddenly in front of her did not seem to be affected by the grenade she threw.

And he just watched her stab herself with the dagger...

She then glanced at the golden-armored giants on either side of him... They didn't seem to have it either...!

boom!

brush!

A purple psychic teleportation beam pierced through the Avenger's armor and shot into the air.

When the others recovered from the impact of the grenade, they found the two golden-armored giants who looked like sculptures. One of them had one hand on the ground, and the other one was slashing the ground with a halberd made of unknown material. The halberd cut a hole in the metal floor of the Avenger like cutting butter.

"Escaped?" Zhang Yi, who was protected by the debris and witnessed everything that happened, said to the two imperial guards. "Did you fail?"

"I have to admit, this is a really powerful psychic transmission device, comparable to some of the technological creations from the Golden Age that I know of." One of the imperial guards retracted the power halberd in his hand and answered Zhang Yi's question. "This alien who looks like the Eldar is not as weak as imagined."

"She decisively used the device to teleport away when I was holding her down and she was about to be beheaded." Another guard stood up and answered. "Because I knew she had this equipment, I deliberately controlled the power to prevent excessive injuries from triggering her teleportation mechanism."

"Would it be better if you just use all your strength to crush his head?" Zhang Yi asked.

"I'm not sure how hard I should use to crush her brain without damaging the vehicle, as this is my first time encountering this kind of alien."

At this moment, everyone in XCOM also reacted to what happened in just a few seconds.
