Warhammer 40 A New Hope

For those ordinary people, those nobles or people from the Ministry of Justice, everything they were familiar with became unfamiliar in that instant, which made them feel terrified.

But for those potential cultists, this is not a big problem - the sudden change may even become evidence for them to claim the power of the evil god.

The crowd that had originally gathered was separated, but the fighting between the two sides continued.

Just like small fish separated from the main group in a school of fish, these militiamen and even just some ordinary people, after losing the cover of the main group, were no match for the crazy cultists and began to be slaughtered unilaterally.

The huge, deformed humanoid being, under the command of the short, human-like being behind it, withstood the attacks of crude guns and even kitchen knives, and turned the weak being in front of it into a pool of meat paste.

A thin civilian, holding a water pipe in his hand, watched his companions being turned into corpses on the ground one by one. His legs trembled, but he did not run away.

"Emperor, please bless me, I am willing, I am willing..."

roar--!

The huge deformed humanoid roared at the only human being and smashed towards him with its hands wrapped in scrap metal.

Bang—DUANG!

At this moment, a figure jumped out, and at the same time a dull metal collision sound was heard.

The huge deformed human figure fell to the ground because of the blow, and then a metal brick shining with golden light was thrown at the short human figure sitting on his back.

Phew－－!

The fragile flesh was directly shattered, and the metal brick was recalled under Zhang Yi's control. Zhang Yi held it tightly and smashed it at another enemy under his feet.

DUANG!

With a buzzing sound, bright red blood flowed out from the metal helmet of the 'giant'. Zhang Yi, who had witnessed all this last night, slowly turned around and looked at the other enemies.

"Do you want to shout something?" Zhang Yi, with his left eye emitting red light, said to the cultists. "See if the gods you are talking about will protect you?!"

． ． ． A few minutes later ． ． ．

Bright red blood flowed from the metal brick in Zhang Yi's hand. In front of him were the corpses of several Chaos Cultists, all with their heads smashed.

"Take a deep breath~Take a deep breath~" The red light gradually dissipated from Zhang Yi's body. Zhang Yi took a deep breath and said, "That's enough..."

Zhang Yi looked at the only living person behind him... A militiaman? Or just an ordinary person who volunteered to join temporarily?

After seeing Zhang Yi looking at him, the man immediately crawled on the ground as much as possible, his voice trembling.

"I will prove it... I will prove it, so... so please give me a chance!"

"I can contribute to the empire, at least, at least take my daughter with me...she..."

At this moment, Zhang Yi walked up to him and picked him up.

"Look at me, even though I don't know your name." Zhang Yi grabbed the man's face and said, "I must tell you the truth about what you think..."

"I can't take you with me."

"for..."

"Look at these people, these so-called cultists." Zhang Yi interrupted the man. "They are everywhere..."

"The old widow suddenly became beautiful, the frail little man suddenly won many battles in the underground black boxing ring, the poor family who had never had enough to eat suddenly no longer suffered from hunger, and the stupid boy with a dull mind became the secretary of the government official..."

"Do you think they were just lucky? Or did they suddenly get wise?"

"Maybe some of them are, but some of them may not be..."

"The great enemy of the human empire has always been there and is everywhere."

Having said that, Zhang Yi let go of the man. He then raised his head tremblingly and looked at the corpses of the cultists on the ground. Among them was someone he knew.

Just like Zhang Yi said, this person, who was at the bottom of the planet like him, suddenly became rich one day and said that he made a fortune by using his cleverness.

But he didn't expect that this was caused by the evil god...

"So, I can't do it. I can't save you." Zhang Yi said. "I can't change this fucked up world..."

"Do you dare to say that your friends, your family, or even yourself, are pure?"

"I don't want to lie to you, and I can't convince all of you..."

"You have seen the truth, I can only give you more truth."

The huge amount of information impacted the brain of the ordinary man in front of him, who might have never seen the whole world in his life. He couldn't understand it all, but he knew that for many reasons, many reasons he couldn't understand, this adult couldn't help himself.

"...I can't fully understand what you are saying..." The man knelt in front of Zhang Yi again and said, "I am just an ordinary person..."

"But please give me a chance..."

"I don't want my daughter to be like me, rolling around in the underground forever, never seeing the light of day..."

"I hope that at least she can go out into the world and witness more..."

"I hope that at least she can live like a human being..."

It's a very simple wish, but even such an ordinary wish is difficult to achieve in this world.

"I can guarantee that if given the opportunity, he can become a nun of the Anglican Church." Zhang Yi said. "But I can't guarantee anything else."

"That's enough! Thank you, my lord." He said to Zhang Yi with many thanks. "Please let me do something for you, anything..."

"Go find the others, find those loyal warriors of the empire." Zhang Yi said to him. "Let them come to me..."

"Before those bastards come looking for us..."

Above the orbit of Zhang Yi's planet

The Imperial Navy fleet responsible for protecting the planet tried to contact the ground as soon as the incident ended, but received no response.

The commander immediately began to organize personnel to search the unrecognizable planet and establish contact with people on the ground.

At this moment, a Chaos fleet appeared nearby in a way they had never seen before and launched an attack on them.

On the leading ship was the emblem of the Fallen Regiment of the Iron Warriors.

The Empire's naval forces then suffered huge losses. They were outnumbered and were no match for the enemy Space Marines.

Soon after that, Chaos ships with the emblem of the Thousand Sons Chapter appeared near the planet from another direction, and, to the astonished gaze of the Imperial fleet commander, launched an attack on the Iron Warriors Chapter, which were also Chaos Space Marines.

[This is Gabriel Angelos, Chapter Master of the Human Empire's Blood Ravens Chapter] The voice of a Space Marine came over the Empire's communication channel [Mark our ships as friendly forces]

[Repeat, mark our ships as friendly, we are not enemies]

Several ships with the Blood Ravens emblem hidden in the Thousand Sons fleet appeared on the Imperial Navy's auspicious instrument, and began to attack the Iron Warriors fleet together with the Thousand Sons ships.

The battle in the planet's orbit was in full swing, while on the other side, under the completely changed planet, a tall figure appeared in the darkness.

Three eyes lit up, and the flames burning on the giant swords in their hands illuminated the darkness, and also reflected the deformed creatures hiding in the darkness.

"traitor..."

"But it doesn't matter..."

The former [Chosen of the Four Gods] - Archaon, appeared in a group of deformed creatures along with a blue portal, looking coldly at those hideous and strange creatures.

"I will, catch him, I will hand him over to..."

"Why should I give it to him? I should..."

Squeak! (The roar of the deformed creature)

306. Interlude (middle)

In the silent universe, the ships of the Thousand Sons and the Iron Warriors collided with each other and were stabilized by the tractor beam.

Afterwards, a space boarding battle with a strong 40K division began, and both sides attacked each other's warships almost at the same time.

"Magnus! Have you betrayed the gods of the Warp?!"

"The enemy!"

"?????"

Contrary to his usual attitude, Magnus spoke bluntly, disrupting what Perturabo had intended to say and even confusing him a little.

The battle between the [Iron Warriors] known for their offense and firepower and the [Thousand Sons] known for their psychic powers was temporarily unsuccessful and the situation was temporarily tied.

At this time, the ships of the Blood Ravens Chapter, which were mixed in with the Thousand Sons fleet, broke away from the main force and dropped dozens of airborne pods onto the surface of the planet.

Seeing this, Perturabo, the commander-in-chief, immediately dispatched a small fleet to intercept the imperial soldiers.

In the shadow of a planet far away from the battle area, an unknown ship also dropped a drop capsule below.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

"This is Corporal Latham. We are facing a large number of enemies. Any friendly forces will do. Requesting support!"

"Stop shouting! Medium and long distance communications are useless! All of us have been separated! These bastards have mixed together!"

Biubiubiu——!

Red laser beams kept shooting at the mutants in the fog. Behind these crazy people, there were a large number of cultists wearing the Chaos Eight-pointed Star symbol, constantly driving the mutants to attack.

boom!

A PDF was shot in the head by an enemy sniper hiding in a high place, and red and white stuff was splattered everywhere.

"Another MD died!"

"We have to find a way to take out that sniper!"

"You've said this more than once! I've also said it more than once, we don't have the firepower right now!"

"Are we just going to sit there and wait to die?!"

"Pray we encounter an armored unit or space marines!"

call out--

At this moment, there was a sound of breaking air in the sky. The imperial soldiers looked up and saw an object emitting a golden luster drawing a golden line in the thick fog, and then smashed into the tall tower where the sniper was hidden.

boom--!

The flames of the explosion were accompanied by a roar, and the entire tower collapsed, with a large amount of rubble falling.

"hidden!"

The remaining few imperial soldiers quickly found a place to hide from the falling rocks. With the continuous sound of falling rocks, the falling rocks blocked the road in front of them.

“Oh my god…”

When the sound stopped, the Astra Militarum soldier named Lassen, who was carrying a communication device, looked at the road that had been blocked tightly and said.

At this moment, the golden shadow that destroyed the enemy began to fly towards the ground and was finally caught by a figure.

"Ah! It hit my hand..."

Zhang Yi waved his hands, walked out of the thick fog, and looked at the four soldiers who were still alive.

"Please introduce yourselves, soldiers." Zhang Yi said as he looked at the soldiers kneeling on one knee in front of him.

"Laison, communications soldier of the 177th Regiment, stationed in the Keir system."

"Supporting the Keir system, 358th Ranger Regiment, Peter."

"Local System PDF, Garris."

"Imperial noble - a private soldier under the command of the Duke of Flowers. Qiao Xi, it is a great honor to meet you, sir."

"Report the current situation."

"The sudden change in terrain separated us from the main force, and after the fog enveloped the entire city, short- and medium-distance communications were interrupted." Lassen reported. "Communications within 150 meters began to be significantly disrupted, and the large-scale change in terrain also caused many cult groups and deformed monsters that were originally at the bottom to appear on the ground..."

"It took us an hour to gather a team of eight, but we lost half of our teammates just by encountering a group of enemies."

"Can you contact anyone else?"

"There are no friendly troops with communication equipment within at least 150 meters."

"It's just a freak thing..."

Because of Tzeentch, PDF and noble private soldiers are completely unable to provide useful information about the terrain - almost everything has changed.

"Are there any conspicuous tall buildings nearby?" Zhang Yi suddenly asked.

After hearing what Zhang Yi said, the four surviving soldiers all looked towards the road covered with rubble.

"Sir, I know a way to get around it." Qiao Xi, a nobleman's private soldier, said, "But with so few people like us, it's impossible..."
