Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"Charge! For the Empire! For the One on the Golden Throne! For Humanity!"

The sudden appearance of the fleet prevented the defending Nurgle fleet from returning to defense in time, and this fleet composed entirely of frigates rushed straight to the surface of Nurgle's living planet.

In response, the planet that emanated plague and stench began to use huge tentacles that were large enough to reach into space to try to block the Imperial frigate fleet that was attacking it at high speed. At the same time, a large number of insect-like Nurgle demons spewed out from the surface and flew towards the fleet.

Several frigates were smashed by the huge tentacles, and the flying demons that attacked at high speed also penetrated the armor of several other ships and entered their interior.

Balls of fire exploded in the sky above the planet, but even so, the imperial fleet did not stop and continued to rush towards the surface of the planet at full speed.

"Prepare for impact!"

boom--!

In the end, three frigates crashed into the surface of the Nurgle living planet relatively intact, while dozens of other ships all turned into floating garbage in space.

And this is just the first step of the plan.

. . . . . .

Three Imperial frigates successfully reached the surface of the planet, but the buffer device of one of them did not work and it exploded on the surface of the planet. Although the other one landed successfully, the protection device on the ship did not work properly and it was quickly annihilated by the Nurgle troops who arrived.

The last frigate not only successfully reached the surface, but also, because its target direction was a relatively weak layer of the earth's crust, it directly crashed through that layer of the ground and went to a deeper layer.

This living planet of Nurgle used all the planetary ships it destroyed along the way as "armor", and placed them on itself layer by layer, which is why it is getting bigger and bigger.

The only Imperial frigate that rushed into the second floor, its entire platinum ram and part of its bow were inserted into a wall covered with all kinds of twisted materials. Above them was an inverted former Imperial church that was covered with tentacles, pustules and flower-like things.

Dozens of devices from the Necrons were ejected from the frigate and successfully deployed around the ship. Suddenly, everyone on the ship felt that the influence from the Warp was weakened.

But this is not enough. This is Nurgle's territory, and this level of protection is far from enough.

The mechanical priest on the frigate overloaded the ship's communication equipment and burned the brain of an Astropath in order to pass on the news that they had successfully reached the surface of the target planet.

Dozens of minutes later, Zhang Yi opened a portal near them, and several teams of [Imperial Fists] Space Marines walked out of it and began to set up a defense line.

Following them came an entire Astra Militarum regiment and several carts of special potions.

"We need to find the main blood vessels or main root systems in this area so that these agents can be most effective and we will have more time to confirm the equivalent required for the explosion!"

"The defense line can only be further constructed after stabilizing the activities in this area. Otherwise, once this giant turns over, all our preparations will be wasted."

"It is very likely that Nurgle already knows what we want to do. We probably won't have a second chance."

Several bottles of special sedative and paralyzing potions were injected into the twisted flesh nearby to stabilize the environment nearby. And as they said, in order to gain as much time as possible, they need to find a main root system that can affect the entire area and inject the potion into it.

But this time, the people who carried out this mission were not humans, but...

Eldar

The Empire returned the Eldar's goddess of life (fragments) as agreed, and then... they sent it back again...

The reason is that the two complete gods of the Eldar, the God of Death and the God of Laughter, after seeing the Goddess of Life who returned, asked Evelyne to send her back quickly - because at this stage they could not protect this "remnant of the god" who had little combat ability and was more of an auxiliary.

Even if the God of Death was resurrected, the God of Laughter would only go from almost never dropping the Black Library to occasionally dropping it, and the God of Death? He was busy killing Slaanesh.

Although this goddess does have good auxiliary abilities and seems to be able to communicate with her true form trapped in the Garden of Nurgle from time to time, that's all. It's pretty useless.

Both Eldar gods said they had no time to care about Elsa, but Nurgle had been keeping an eye on the goddess. The Eldar now did not have the ability to deal with the attacks of two evil gods at the same time.

[Why don't you give this little bit of leftover to that boy as his wife? I think he seems to be interested in her too? ] (The Elf God of Laughter Xi Gaoqi)

[Don't ask me, I don't care about this] (Iniad, the Eldar God of Death)

[I think it's okay. Asuryan is dead anyway, so it's a good idea to send this useless goddess to stabilize the relationship between the two sides. I don't think anyone would object to it - she herself doesn't seem to have any objections] (The Eldar God of Laughter Xi Gaoqi)

[You handle this matter yourself, I want to kill Slaanesh] (Aeneid, the Eldar god of death)

Eventually, Elsa was sent back to the Empire. Of course, the Eldar did not completely ignore her. They left a lot of troops to protect their goddess, and acquired a lot of Imperial troops to protect her through trade. The Eldar reconnaissance troops blessed by Elsa and the God of Death were one of the results of this transaction.

As for marrying Aisha to Zhang Yi...

[(Slaps Xi Gaoqi) Make trouble! Make trouble! Make trouble! You pointy-nosed clown only knows how to make trouble! You still think I'm not annoying enough, right?! ] (Emperor)

[You still want to push this goddess who can't do anything except crying to you, you don't want this nose anymore, right?! ] (Emperor)

[Doesn't that guy like it very much? ] (Xi Gaoqi)

[I don't like it! ] (Emperor)

292. Plague Prevention War (XVII)

Aisha, the Eldar goddess of life who was captured by Nurgle, kept transmitting information to the creatures in the mortal world even in Nurgle's garden.

Whenever Nurgle stirs the cauldron and spreads the plague into the mortal world, Elsa, who is imprisoned and the first to come into contact with these new plagues, will look for opportunities to spread the way to cure this new plague to the outside world.

When Elsa from the medieval world came to the 40K universe, the goddess of life imprisoned in the Garden of Nurgle felt her presence at the first time, and contacted her from time to time, passing on a little of her power to her.

The Eldar reconnaissance troops, blessed by both the God of Death and the Goddess of Life, can resist all kinds of curses and plagues of Nurgle to the greatest extent, while still having impressive combat effectiveness.

The flexible Eldar forces spread out from the landing point and began to look for the main root system that could have the greatest impact on the area.

At the same time, the Nurgle troops spread across the planet also began searching for the only Imperial ship that had not been confirmed to have been destroyed, in a frenzy.

The targeted potion developed using the planet-sized behemoth in Darkest Dungeon as a template can prevent the giant underfoot from moving to a certain extent, but the production of this potion is currently low and must be used to the maximum extent - this is why it is necessary to find the main root system.

Swarms of [Corruption Flies] flew through the air, and swarms of [Nurglings] on the ground surged like mountain torrents in search of the enemy.

A small group of Eldar scouts hid nearby, watching the horrifying scene and trying their best to conceal themselves.

Even though they are all considered the elite among the Eldar troops, they are still like a drop in the bucket and a mantis trying to stop a chariot in the face of such a large number of enemies.

At this stage, due to the advance preparations, the Nurgle side cannot obtain the specific location of the ship in the first time, but even if they search inch by inch, it will not take a lot of time given the huge number of Nurgle troops on this planet.

It was like a living wall that appeared in front of the Eldar reconnaissance team. From time to time, all kinds of Nurgle demons flowed out of the wall.

"We didn't find anything that looked like the main root system of the aorta." The leading Eldar soldier said. "The target is not in this direction."

"There are too many demons. Are they trying to fill this area completely?"

"Given Nurgle's characteristics, it may not be impossible."

"Prepare to retreat, it's too dangerous here..."

At this moment, thick green gas suddenly appeared in front of them and rushed towards them at an extremely fast speed.

"Everyone retreat immediately! Quick!"

The Eldar reconnaissance unit immediately began to run in the opposite direction of the green gas, trying to escape, but soon the same green gas appeared in other directions.

In just a few minutes, the team was overwhelmed. Blessing from the Goddess of Life immediately began to resist the curse and plague contained in the gas. At the same time, the team began to leave the coverage of the green gas.

However, the next moment, the Eldar soldiers who were enveloped by the gas felt that it was becoming increasingly difficult for them to move.

"Ah~ You have something you shouldn't have~"

A large number of Nurglings rushed in, knocked the Eldar soldiers to the ground, and then lifted them up.

At the same time, on a huge wooden seat with the Nurgle symbol and several rusty bells hanging on it, a bloated and festering human figure appeared in front of them.

"!"

"The breath of life~ that's mine!" said the festering bloat. "But it doesn't matter..."

"I am still willing to accept you~"

The blessing from Elsa was taken away, and a deadly plague instantly invaded the body of the elves of the book. Their skin began to fester, their bones began to proliferate, and their internal organs began to mutate.

"Oh~ What are you struggling with? Come join us~ Join this big family~"

"This way, you won't have to worry about being hunted by that guy anymore~"

The Eldar soldier closest to the man tried his best to mobilize the remaining power from the Eldar Death God, broke free from the control, and swung a knife at the humanoid.

The sharp sword killed several Nurglings that were running around, and cut a long wound on the chest of the being surrounded by many Nurgling demons.

The next second, the Eldar found that the weapon in his hand began to rot!

There was no time to think about it, because the elf who had escaped briefly from the attack just now immediately jumped out of the encirclement and disappeared in the diffuse green gas.

The numerous Nurgle demons that tried to chase were stopped by the humanoid, and the shocking wound on its body healed in just a few seconds.

"Let him go~ He can't run far~"

"Everyone will join us~"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

"That group of aliens has found their target, and the follow-up troops have already gone there with the medicine."

"Continue to build defense equipment. After the injection of the agent is successful, dig underground and prepare for the next plan."

"There is a situation!"

The Eldar scout who had escaped had now collapsed near the landing site. His originally slender body had become swollen and festering, and was emitting a foul odor.

Two Space Marines from the Imperial Fists came up to him and watched him tremblingly hand his soul stone to the human in front of him.

"The new...enemy...is very strong...ugh!!!"

In front of the two Space Marines, the Eldar soldier's body suddenly began to heave violently, as if something was moving underneath it.

boom! boom! boom!

Bear--!

Three explosive shells shattered his body, and the subsequent promethium flames engulfed it.

After it was completely reduced to ashes, one of the Space Marines picked up the Soul Stone on the ground after a brief silence.

"We need more support..."

"The enemy is coming."

. . . . . .

Da da da da da－－!

The two [Wolf Spider Turrets] continuously fired at the zombie group in the distance. A large number of shell casings flew out and piled up into a small hill nearby.

Shortly after the Eldar scout returned, a large group of Nurgle zombies appeared in the distance and slowly walked towards the landing point.

The inhabitants of these previously destroyed planets have now become part of Nurgle's great army, and they raise their rusted blades towards their former compatriots.

The two [Wolf Spider Turrets] have fired nearly ten thousand rounds of ammunition. The ejected shells have piled up into a large metal mountain, and the gun barrels are also a little red.

boom! boom! boom!

The few macro cannons and defense turrets that could still be used on the frigate also opened fire at this time. These anti-ship weapons, which were originally only usable in outer space, exploded among the hordes of Nurgle zombies, and a large number of limb fragments flew everywhere in an instant.

Even so, the enemies in front of them did not decrease in the slightest, and were still boundless and endless.

At this moment, the portal opened again, and several Space Marine squads from different chapters quickly ran out of it, came to the front line, and began to deal with the oncoming enemies together.

But there are too many enemies, and these are just the lowest-level cannon fodder of the enemy. At this stage, no existence that can be called a demon has appeared.

In response, an Eldar priest holding a green gem walked out of the portal, and then a green wave spread out from him.

When the zombies near the landing point came into contact with the spreading energy fluctuations, they fell to the ground as if their bones were pulled out and turned into corpses on the ground again.

The zombies' offensive was suppressed, and the power from the Goddess of Life cured the plague of Nurgle, turning the active zombies into corpses again.

"That's mine!"

With a roar, green gas gushed out from the horizon and rushed towards the landing point quickly like a flooded river.

bite--!

The energy fluctuations emitted by the green gem took effect again, blocking the surging gas, and at this moment, a being surrounded by countless Nurgle demons emerged from the mist.

"You took things you shouldn't have, kids."

"Give it back to me, you will be pardoned, and you still have a chance to become one of us, otherwise..."

"You will know the price of angering me!"

293. Plague Prevention and Control (XVIII)

When the being that seemed to be a special demon appeared on the battlefield, the battle situation in the entire landing area began to take a sharp turn for the worse - although the situation itself was not good either.

Although there was an artifact prepared in advance, provided by the Eldar Goddess of Life, to counter the plague of Nurgle, the bright green gem at the core would dim a little bit with every passing second.

Not only that, but after that particular demon showed up, two more demons showed up on the battlefield, including the [Plague Father] Kugath whom they had seen before.

This is on Nurgle's planet. There are many Nurgle demons on this planet, and they will keep pouring in here.
