Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"Some of the other tribesmen and these warm-blooded people will help you." He said amid the curious or surprised looks of the surrounding rebels. "We must clear the area and prevent the enemy from entering."

"That lord will be here soon."

. . . . . .

Outskirts of the city

Boom boom boom!

Under the continuous bombardment of the [Basic Lizard Artillery] and the Astra Militarum Mortar Squadron, most of the tall buildings within the range have been completely destroyed.

In other directions, the rebels and soldiers from the three major factions were also attacking in order to attract the enemy's troops before the official war began.

The elders' troops knew that they could not keep retreating to avoid artillery fire, as this would only extend the range of the enemy's artillery and reduce their occupied area.

So, after retreating for a distance, the enemy set up an energy shield above their own positions and temporary command post to resist the artillery fire of Zhang Yi's troops.

This will consume a lot of their reserve energy, but it is only temporary.

At the same time, they did not forget to divide up small teams to patrol the surrounding area to prevent infiltration by Zhang Yi's troops and the rebels.

However, the interruption of ordinary communications has forced them to communicate only through the psychic network, and not long ago, Zhang Yi's frigate in space destroyed almost all of their psychic communication satellites.

This means that the speed at which commands are transmitted through the psionic network is not very fast, even when it is already operating at full capacity.

. . . . . .

call out!

boom!

A rocket directly shot down the airship that was transporting enemy reinforcements. A rebel team led by several soldiers from the Knights Templar faction was trying to destroy the enemy as much as possible while evacuating ordinary people.

"The people nearby have almost been evacuated. Prepare to retreat and join the group of Skirmishers!" shouted the leader of the Knights Templar.

After a burst of purple psychic lightning wiped out the mutant soldiers who were gathered together, the Knights Templar immediately took the surviving rebels and left before more enemies arrived.

Elsewhere, a Skirmisher jumped off the top of an alien Destroyer, which staggered and fell behind him before exploding.

"Report! More enemies are coming! We have to retreat!"

"The Death Knights have already left the battlefield through the sewers, and the Templars are heading in our direction."

"Some people will wait for the bald guys from the Templars to arrive, and then take the ordinary people out of the sewers. Those who are willing to stay will be ready to go with me to find the group of 'golden giants'." The Skirmisher who led the group gave the order. "I don't want to give up such a good opportunity for revenge."

"Logistics soldiers, count our ammunition supplies!"

"We still have enough ammunition, but not much explosives because we encountered a large number of alien heavy units before, and consumed quite a lot of them."

"We can get supplies from our allies."

Soldiers from the Knights Templar faction appeared on a street not far away, along with a group of rebel soldiers and ordinary people who were willing to go with them.

But at this moment, they suddenly stopped, including the [skirmishers].

Because a [Valkyrie armed transport] was flying over them, and even the [skirmishers] who had no psychic power could feel the powerful psychic power in it.

"This is truly a surprising support..."

33. Joint Campaign (IV)

A car on the side of the road was lifted up by the monitor lizard and thrown towards the [Heavy Destroyer] not far away.

Such a large mass hit his body, and even with the thick armor and buffer devices, it still caused him to shake.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, two giant lizards rushed under the [Heavy Destroyer] and rammed it sideways.

boom!

With a dull thud, the [Heavy Destroyer] was knocked down, and then the chainsaw sword slashed at its shell.

Buzz——!

squeak!

A large amount of sparks appeared at the point where the two came into contact. Even though the technology of the Warhammer universe was stronger than that of the elders, it would not be possible to cut through such thick armor in a short time.

It's sizzling!

A large amount of electric current emerged from the overturned [Heavy Destroyer] and quickly rushed to the bodies of the two nearest monitors.

However, the strong electric current did not knock them down, but instead aroused their ferocity.

The running chainsaw sword was thrown aside, and two giants grabbed the two mechanical legs of the [Heavy Destroyer] and pulled them off with their unreasonable brute force. They also grabbed the exposed wire parts and pulled out more parts.

In just a few dozen minutes, this Heavy Destroyer, which could have wiped out an entire rebel camp, was broken into pieces, and the two giant lizards, still not satisfied, were still working hard to destroy the larger pieces.

"Can I..."

"Tell them to stop? You go?"

"..."

Just as the rebels following the two giant lizards were hesitant because of the scene before them, the two angry giant lizards suddenly stopped and looked up into the sky.

A Valkyrie armed transport plane flew over their heads and quickly disappeared among the tall buildings.

The giant lizard suddenly calmed down, stopped venting, and silently picked up the thrown chainsaw sword.

"Why did they stop again?"

"how could I know?!"

. . . . . .

Tens of minutes later, near the Municipal Building

The lizardmen launched an attack on the building where the psychic network transmission device was located.

A team of giant lizards, holding shields, rushed into the enemy camp and knocked over a large group of mutants while defending the front line to block fire for other tribesmen and allies.

"For the big plan!"

Following closely behind were the relatively short lizardmen warriors, most of whom were armed with melee weapons created by the ancient saints. They could almost ignore all attacks or interference from low-level psychic creatures, and the armor on their bodies could withstand attacks from less powerful magnetic weapons.

Just as the two of them rushed into the enemy camp together, the spirit lizards in the back also launched attacks on different enemies.

This group of shorter but more agile creatures, most of which were holding various laser weapons that were smaller than normal size, were covering the attack of their compatriots in the front from behind.

The mutants who tried to shoot were interfered or knocked down by the skink lizards' laser guns. The Bian Zhong and alien soldiers behind them were closely guarded by the lizardmen holding melee weapons, making it difficult for them to use their guns.

A giant lizard knocked down several enemies with the giant shield in its hand, and finally pressed a floating [Archon] to death against the wall.

A purple line of psychic energy attacked the giant lizard, but it had no effect and instead attracted his attention.

The gray man who launched the psychic attack, after discovering that his psychic attack was ineffective, immediately turned around and tried to escape, but before he could take two steps, a lizardman warrior grabbed his conspicuous big head and tore it into two pieces.

The attack of the Lizardmen and the rebels seemed unstoppable, and these low-level alien and mutant troops were simply unable to resist their attack.

However, you have to know that there are more than just these enemies gathered here.

Buzz－－!

call out--!

As a purple psychic energy shock spread out, a large amount of debris and the troops at the front were directly bounced back.

Immediately afterwards, a giant monitor lizard was picked up as if its neck was stuck, and then thrown hard against the wall.

The tall and thin [Aether], the [Gatekeeper] protected by a thick shell, the best among mutant soldiers [High-level Mutant Bishop]...

The [Grand Archon], which has undergone more transformation and has become more powerful, the old rival [Heavy Military MEC], and the [Heavy Armored Psychic Viper], which is wearing heavy armor and has certain psychic abilities...

as well as...

Roar!

The Berserker Queen is one of the Alien Hunters created by Dr. Valen, the former chief researcher of the XCOM organization, for unknown reasons.

Roar!

Faced with such a scene, the Lizardmen did not get scared. Instead, they roared and launched another charge.

Suddenly, the two armies collided with each other and a melee began.

[Gatekeeper] opened the shell and fired a psychic bomb, which hit the giant shield and directly knocked the shield and the giant lizard behind it away. However, another giant lizard holding [Thunder Hammer] took this opportunity to rush over and smashed its fragile body that had not yet been covered by armor. The next second, the psychic energy of time and space exploded.

[High-level Mutant Bishop] summoned a wall of fire, then pushed it forward, engulfing several resistance soldiers who failed to dodge in time. However, a lizardman warrior rushed out from the flames, and hit the soldier's head with the pipe inserted in it with the metal stick in his hand like a sledgehammer, knocking him over.

boom!

The Berserker Queen, who was a head taller than the monitor lizard, collided with a monitor lizard and started wrestling with it. But in the end, she was slightly stronger and knocked the monitor lizard to the ground, then knocked it away.

The Skinks and surviving resistance fighters in the rear continued to fire at the leading Aether and other enemies, but with little success.

shhhhhhhh!

The psychic energy released by [Aether] and many advanced psychic units flew towards the Lizardmen and human resistance forces, and dozens of people were hit and fell to the ground in an instant.

"Scroll! Use the scroll!"

At the call of a Skink, a rolled-up brown scroll was thrown out and quickly burned up.

[Higher·Fei's Blessing Light]

Dazzling white light appeared from the rebels and the lizardmen, and the enemy's attacks were initially blocked by the sudden appearance of white light.

"?!"

Just as the leading Aether was shocked, the second and third scrolls were thrown out and quickly burned.

[Advanced Luin Flame Sword]

[Advanced Regeneration]

The light of flame appeared in the Lizardmen's melee weapons, and the heavy armor that was originally difficult to cut through became less solid. At the same time, green light appeared on their bodies, and their wounds began to heal at an astonishing speed, broken limbs regenerated, and even some of the fallen people stood up again.

Seeing this, Aether immediately looked at the lizard that threw the scroll, and a large amount of spiritual energy gathered in his hands.

However, the lizard had already thrown out the last magic scroll.

[Advanced Soul Withering]

Suddenly, a powerful suction force originated from the soul, and the energy of the psychic shield around the ether and the psychic energy gathered in his hands began to decrease rapidly.

Aether immediately gave up its attack and began to resist the attraction as much as possible.

Of course, the rebels would not miss this good opportunity and vent their firepower on him once again.

Under the influence of the spell, the etheric psychic shield became unstable, and the double pressure made it possible for it to be broken through at any time.

At this moment, after killing a gray man in front of him, the lizardman veteran Ku Reese took out a bolt pistol and pulled the trigger at the ether.

Bang bang bang!

Tear it apart!

The first two bombs were blocked, but the third one successfully penetrated his psychic shield and tore half of his body apart.

Aether fell down injured, and Ku Reis immediately rushed to him and smashed him down with the golden stick given to him by Master Mazdamuddi himself.

boom!

. . . . . .

The top floor of the building where the psychic network transmission device is located

The death of Ether and the support of the Lizardmen's scrolls caused the aliens on the first line of defense to quickly collapse and begin to retreat.

The Berserker Queen, who possessed the ability of psychic teleportation, was the first to start moving. After almost all high-level psychic units were lost, the other mutant soldiers and aliens began to retreat to the controller position on the roof.

In response to this, the coalition forces of Lizardmen and the rebels naturally pursued them relentlessly, trying to reduce the number of these defeated troops as much as possible.

Soon, the lizardmen arrived at the exit on the roof, and at this moment, a green shadow was thrown over.

That was the [Berserker Queen] who had already used her psychic powers to escape and was almost twisted into a knot.
