Warhammer 40 A New Hope

Zhang Yi did not argue too much, but just stated a fact, a fact that he knew.

"...Compared to that monkey..."

"Huh?" (Sun)

"I dislike you even less, human."

"The truth always hurts the most sometimes, doesn't it?"

"...I will remind Khan at the next meeting." Kira said. "Thank you for bringing my daughter's teammates here to help her resolve her worries, but..."

"We don't have that many rooms for you to live in..."

"It's getting late, you should find somewhere else to stay."

"That's true. After all, in the Beast Trapped Continent, humans are just like the Funa people in other kingdoms. They are not welcome." Zhang Yi said and stood up. "Let's go."

Without any delay, Zhang Yi left as soon as he said he would, which surprised Kira.

"Are we just leaving like this?" The little cat standing outside the door asked as he looked at Zhang Yi and the others coming out. "There are at least three groups of people monitoring us, including the Ferner man you mentioned who can change color like a chameleon."

"It doesn't matter. Besides, I can probably guess how they plan to deal with us."

"...passing the buck."

"Nothing could arouse public outrage more than blaming the Khan's death on the humans in the Beast Island."

"So how are you going to deal with this?"

"Tell me, if I have the ability to kill everyone in the Beast Trapped Continent, why would I go to the trouble of assassinating a leader who is already dead in name only?"

"Are you sure this will work?"

"...I don't know, I just thought of it..."

"Shouldn't you be listening to the state religion chanting?"

"According to the time, it seems so."

haven

Leonardo Lionheart is the headmaster of Haven Academy and a comrade-in-arms with Principal Ozpin in fighting against Salem, at least he used to be.

He was once a courageous and fearless man, known as 'Reinhard' (Lion). However, no matter how strong his courage was, he could not cope with the evil that could not be eliminated - so he changed sides. In order to survive, he became Seren's lackey and became timid.

In fact, if Ozpin explained all the causes and consequences clearly, there would probably be few people willing to follow Salem, after all, the latter's ultimate goal is to destroy the world.

Now, the 'cowardly lion' is running for his life, in the building he is most familiar with.

Originally, this day was just like any other. He assigned a few hunters who might affect his plan a mission and sent them to die. Then he returned to his office, continued to maintain his image in the eyes of ordinary people, and waited for the arrival of Kro and others.

However, when he walked into the office door, an uninvited guest appeared before his eyes...

"Reinhard, in human society, this word is often associated with courage..."

"The lion who has lost his courage, the scarecrow who has no brain, the tin man who has no heart, Ozma who has forgotten his name..."

"It's a human fairy tale called The Wizard of Oz. I have to read it when I have time~"

"Who are you, why are you here, wait... I recognize you, it was you who fought in the battle at Beacon... Kashu?"

"It's an honor. I should also be on your 'hunter' list, human." Kaxiu said. "I came to get some information about Salem from you, and by the way... kill you."

"!"

"This is not normally what I should do, but consider it as 'travel expenses' for that kid~"

In front of Reinhardt, Kashu removed his disguise and revealed his body as a Necron.

"You...you were in that battle..."

"I belong to the same race as the Silent King." Kashu slowly approached Reinhardt in front of him. "Now, run away, lion~"

Almost without hesitation, Reinhardt turned around and began to flee. Perhaps to others, the Necrons merely demonstrated their ability to almost instantly restore a seriously injured student, but to Salen and the others, they knew that these metal skeleton-like creatures had easily crushed a [Prophet].

Frightened by Salem, Reinhardt had no way of facing Kasu, who was targeted by his master. He ran all the way in the corridor, trying to find other people to help him, but then he thought that he seemed to have indirectly dragged almost everyone who might have helped to their death.

Bang--!

Reinhardt pushed open the door to the outside of the building, but was surprised to find himself back in his office.

"Go on, run away or show me what you can do~"

Things seemed a little strange, but Reinhardt didn't think much about it. He turned around and continued to run for his life.

Time and again, he would return to his office each time.

"So boring~"

Sizzle－－!

Green lightning shot out and hit his left leg. In an instant, the entire leg turned into ashes before his eyes.

"ah--!"

Reinhardt let out a miserable wail, but Kashu still approached him slowly.

"Resist a bit, let me see your outward force, maybe it will work?"

"Let me go, please." Reinhardt begged for mercy. "I, I can tell you everything about Salem..."

"I just beg you to let me go!"

"...Ozpin, how do you feel seeing your former comrade become like this?"

As he spoke, Kashu took out the device containing Ozpin's soul and displayed it in front of Reinhardt.

【Reinhardt...】

"Ozpin?"

[Eh... Is everything I did wrong...?]

"It's not wrong, but in our opinion, the efficiency is extremely low." Kaxiu put the device back. "As for your begging... I refuse."

"Rather than listening to your time-consuming explanation, I prefer to see it for myself."

"Don't worry, because of my alliance with the Human Empire, I will kill you painlessly before that happens~"

"Trust me, it will be quick."

. . . . . .

"Reinhardt is dead?"

After killing the 'sea-horse' type beast, Nuckelavee, which destroyed many independent villages, Kro and others arrived at Haven earlier, and then they received the news that the principal of Haven Academy had died just a few days ago.

The people who were specially trained by the Imperial Army easily dealt with this strange beast. After all, in the original plot, the strength of this beast was not that great, and now Kro has not yet gone offline.

Haven's security personnel found Reinhardt's horrified body near his office, and also found some traces of killing beasts. The troops believed that a killing beast had sneaked into the city and killed the president of the academy, which was consistent with the large-scale disappearance of hunters during this period.

And this is also Kashu's kindness - at least after his death, his betrayal of mankind was not made public, and he was still the "lion" who could give everything to protect mankind.

At least, that’s what the people in Haven see.

"It's Seren." Ruby said. "She's already started it."

"Ah, yes, it can only be her." Although it was a little wrong, Kro still agreed with his niece's idea. "Reinhardt must have discovered something, so he was killed..."

"What should we do now?"

"...Each holy relic requires the power of the corresponding [Four Seasons Maiden] to open the seal, and the [Sacred Relic of Knowledge] corresponds to the power of the [Spring Maiden]..."

"We need to find the Spring Maiden? Where is she?" Pyrrha asked.

"My sister, Raven..." Kro said. "Yang's biological mother, the Spring Girl..."

"Mother?"

"My intelligence shows that she brought the Spring Girl back to her settlement not long ago..."

"She won't obey. We can only raid there and bring the Spring Girl back."

"Just us?"

"Maybe I can get some old friends to help me, but..."

"Uncle Zhang Yi said he would bring my sister here, we can wait..."

"We don't have that much time." Kro interrupted Ruby. "Trust your uncle. I am much more reliable than that uncle whose origin is unknown."

"... Do you still remember being knocked down by that golden giant with just one move?"

"..."

344. Titanium is in trouble~

[Silent King] The [World Engine] where Shalet is located

As the high-precision 3D printer stopped working, the printing chamber was slowly lowered.

Squeak--

The door of the printing chamber slowly opened, and a gray-green human figure walked out.

"We have refined the printing accuracy as much as possible, simulated the structure of human biology, and created extremely fine sensory circuits to simulate biological nerve touch..."

"Reconstruct the original program, and adjust the priority of controlling the soul that is being nurtured in the soul stone to the highest level, reduce the command conflicts between the two at certain times, and at the same time strengthen the armor that protects the soul stone..."

"It can be said that with the support of a series of top-level technological products, your current body is not much different from a real biological body in terms of touch and other aspects..."

"Respected Lord [King of Silence]"

At this moment, Shalete was checking his limbs and feeling the simulated touch and other senses.

"Still, there is a gap." Shalet said. "There is still a gap with the senses of real creatures."

"Yes, sir." The tomb technician in charge said respectfully. "We are still unable to accurately simulate the behaviors and feelings of some living creatures, such as eating, digestion, and mating. This will take time..."

"Moreover, after discussing with many technicians, we believe that giving too many and too delicate feelings may not be conducive to the growth of your soul. It still takes time to adapt and accept it. Therefore, computer assistance is very necessary..."

"On the other hand, ordinary Necrons cannot use such a high-tech body to contain and protect their souls like you, the noble one..."

"Many of the Emperors and Overlords have already expressed their objections. We need more experimental cases. We need more hunters or ordinary people with vitality to serve as experimental subjects and... consumables..."

"I continue to study. I can still feel the overflow of vitality and the disharmony of the soul." Shalet said. "As for those fools..."

"If they dare to attack at this time, destroy them!"

"Tell Trazyn to pay attention to everything in that world, as well as the [Staff of Creation] I want."

"it is mine!"

"Your will..."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The huge shadow crow landed on a big tree like a living shadow, looking at the human footprints left on the ground.

【Spring. ． ． Girl. ． ． 】

[This damn body, I can’t think too much...]

[I need that power, to transform, to evolve... to change...]

[No... I can't go on like this. I need... a plan...]

[Saren... the damn immortal, she controls this body...]

[Ah~ Right! Prove your value, paralyze that native, and gain greater authority...]

【I need... a failure! 】

. . . . . .

As it turned out, for Zhang Yi and his group, the people of the entire Trapped Beast Island were not very friendly to them when the [Beacon] was destroyed, so Zhang Yi and his group could only set up a simple camp in an area where there were few people.

It’s not that simple actually…

The rapid construction technology from the Ring World allows all creatures with this technical equipment to quickly build a series of buildings including houses with sufficient support - a molecular-level reconstruction technology, and this equipment is quite common (the truth that some poor people can build buildings and walls at high speed).

Although this kind of equipment is not available to everyone like in the game, it is not that rare. Moreover, after the crazy transformation of the Mechanicus, the performance and uses of this thing have increased again.

"So this is why you guys are destroying the Star Army bunker?" Zhang Yi said, looking at the hexagonal fortress-like building in front of him. "Believe it or not, the people of Funa can complain to us just because of this thing..."
