Warhammer 40 A New Hope

But they were not moving towards the planet, but... towards the white light that suddenly appeared in the universe.

The governor of this planet did not know that these alien races without souls and emotions were erupting with unprecedented frenzy at this moment!

358. Battle of the Sky (Part )

The huge black and green crescent-shaped battleship passed through the white portal, forming a sharp contrast with the tiny airship of the Cold Wind Kingdom.

A large number of metal skeletons were teleported to the ground, their eyes emitting green light, which was chilling.

The army of the Cold Wind Kingdom seemed extremely primitive and backward in front of these beings who had once participated in the War of God Slaying, which to a certain extent completely disrupted their original plans.

[King of Silence] Shalett, with dozens of [Three Holy Guards], found Zhang Yi and his men.

"Your new body is great, Shalete."

"We want this world." Unlike the metal skeleton's appearance last time, Shalett's appearance this time is closer to that of a human. "Give me your terms."

"Don't worry about it." Zhang Yi said. "There is a 'repugnant woman' who is carrying out a massacre in this world, and there may be some bad things sneaking in. Do you want to do anything about it?"

Afterwards, Zhang Yi handed the collected information to the [King of Silence] and waited for his response.

"...Give the order, all troops go to Qingtian." Shalet said after hesitating for a moment. "This world belongs to us, I will not allow anyone to do whatever they want here." Then, he looked at Zhang Yi again.

"Think about your terms, human, and don't test my patience..."

"You know very well what this world means to us!"

After saying this, Shalet turned around and led his men away, and the [Three Holy Guards] behind him also followed him.

"I need to get some imperial guards over here." Zhang Yi said as he looked at the [King of Silence] who was leaving, then looked at Ruby and the others who had no idea what was going on.

"Want to hear a story?"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Another town destroyed, another elite hunter fallen, another...

The ferocious beast appeared on the hunter's body...

The beast of slaughter is essentially a creature with a certain degree of self-awareness, which is attracted to negative emotions and lives negative emotions, and only intelligent creatures can produce various emotions.

These are soulless beings, so they do not have more complex intelligence, which is the design of their Creator.

Knowing this, Tzeentch, who possessed Dr. Watt, began to transform these beings after obtaining (tricking) Salem's permission.

The beasts of slaughter themselves cannot possess advanced intelligence and can only accumulate experience over time - that is another way to improve the intelligence of these dark beings.

The attacked humans are no longer just torn to pieces or swallowed uselessly into the body of the killing beast. A large number of humans are sent into the body of a giant killing beast that is like a headless giant, where they will be tortured to attract more killing beasts to join. A small number of them will be lucky enough to be transformed into human killing beasts like zombies.

This humanoid beast, which was modeled after the Dementors that existed in the original world, not only retained the ability to absorb the vitality and spirit of living things, but Tzeentch also improved its combat effectiveness. They are no longer able to move slowly and have no combat power at all.

Not only that, these beasts can also rely on the brains of the controlled humans to command the actions of other beasts to a certain extent, and use the transmission of command nodes as orders from higher-level rulers.

The bodies of those defeated hunters will not be wasted. They will be resurrected in the form of various humanoid beasts, but this time, they will wield their knives against their own compatriots.

Just like a snowball, the fall of a human city will attract more killing beasts to attack, and more terrifying and powerful special humanoid killing beasts will be born.

These beings will then go raid the next town and get more humans to join them.

Fear spread throughout Qingtian, and many people began to flee desperately, leaving towns with weak defenses, trying to leave Qingtian or go to larger cities.

This attack has had a huge impact on the entire Kingdom of Qingtian, but even so, other kingdoms are still on the sidelines - most people are selfish.

"My Lord, I hope you like my masterpiece." Xin Lizhi bowed to Seren. "They will be a great help in your acquisition of the Holy Relic..."

"Oh~ Of course, I didn't kill them~"

A zombie-like humanoid beast was called in front of Seren, and the flesh covering his face automatically peeled off, revealing a dull face inside.

Yes, despite being tortured and possessed by a parasitic beast that controlled his brain, this tree-less human was still alive.

"These inferior creatures can still accept your guidance and rule~"

"...You did a good job." Looking at the human with a dazed look in front of her, Seren hesitated for a moment, but when she confirmed that this special beast that named herself Xin Liezhi was still under her control, she dispelled that slight worry.

"This huge army will be back in your hands." Xin Liezhi said to Seren. "They will help you complete your plan."

"Forgive me for not being able to go with you, my lord."

"But, those unknown enemies require me to make more preparations~"

It was a very reasonable explanation. Seren agreed with Xin Liezhi's statement and led a large number of beast-killing troops towards the Qingtian Academy, while Xin Liezhi just watched it leave.

"I don't want to deal with those green skeletons." said Tzeentch, who was in Dr. Watt's body. "This arrogant immortal will buy me time..."

"I need to complete my plan."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

haven

The appearance of the Necrons completely disrupted the original plan of the Cold Wind Kingdom, especially since some of the "metal skeletons" remained in the safe haven.

As the "culprit", Zhang Yi doesn't care about the current situation of the Cold Wind Kingdom at all. Her primary task now is to explain the existence of the Necrons to Ruby and others.

This is not an easy task, after all...

The fact that any race in the Warhammer world can be considered a villain if they were thrown into other worlds is not just a joke. Even the humans in the Warhammer world cannot be said to be that glorious and upright.

Therefore, before he "told stories" to a group of girls and boys, he first gave this group of "young" hunters, including Kro, a warning - to prevent them from drawing their swords and starting fighting halfway through the story.

The history of the Necrons, even including the period when they were the Necrontyr, is not very long.

This story, which affects the entire Warhammer world, is beyond the imagination of Ruby and others, but for the two elite hunters, Kro and Raven, it means there is a trouble - a bigger trouble than Salem.

"Remember what I said before? This world will not become the 'pasture' of the Undead." Zhang Yi looked at Kro and Raven who were a little tense. "Because, you are human."

"The Empire will protect you."

"Master, prove it."

Amid the vigilant or puzzled looks in everyone's eyes, a ray of golden light appeared in Zhang Yi's left eye, and then...

Zhang Yi started slapping himself wildly with his left hand.

[Making trouble! Making trouble! Making trouble! You are the one who made this happen for me! ]

"No, there are people here, leave some for me..."

"．．．．．．．" Looking at Zhang Yi who was slapping themselves wildly, Kro and others were a little confused as to what was going on.

"In short, I can assure you that the group of metal skeletons you mentioned will not bring any major changes, because humans should help each other no matter where they are." Zhang Yi said, holding his left arm that was twitching wildly with his right hand. "I don't want to mess up the world..."

"There's only one in this fucking world... Stop fighting!"

Looking at Zhang Yi's arms moving wildly, Ruby and others couldn't help but look at Yang's mechanical arm.

"Sister, you..."

“That didn’t happen to me.”

Just as Zhang Yi was about to explain further, a guard he had called over found him with two people - Neo (double-color ice cream) and Mercury.

Ever since she encountered Kasu and accidentally injured Roman, he has been looking for a way to heal him.

But obviously, as one of the helpers who destroyed Beacon City, it would not be easy for them to find a place to treat him. Moreover, Roman was seriously injured, and it was unlikely that an ordinary unlicensed clinic would be able to cure her.

So Neo approached Xinde and others, hoping that they could help her because they were former colleagues.

However, after witnessing Kasu's ability to appear and disappear at will, she did not foolishly go forward to take the lead, but chose to hide.

So, she knocked down Mercury, who had little presence to begin with, and used her extroverted force to disguise herself as him to see how things would turn out.

Her action was undoubtedly correct. The combat effectiveness displayed by Zhang Yi and his men was totally beyond what Xinde and others could match, not to mention the Necron troops that appeared later.

Therefore, he chose to retreat and hoped that Zhang Yi and others could help her. For this, she brought a piece of information - the name of the beast that was suspected to have high intelligence.

"Xin Liezhi?" Zhang Yi, who always looked like he had nothing serious to do in front of Ruby and the others, showed a heavy look for the first time when he heard this name. "Are you sure?"

Looking at Zhang Yi, whose expression had suddenly changed, and the imperial guards escorting him, who had obviously changed as well, Neo nodded.

"Damn, Tzeentch got here? Is this the lake on the Dark God's side?"

"The overflowing negative emotions are the best carrier, even if there is no subspace here."

Ruby and others didn't know what the name Xin Liezhi meant, but Zhang Yi knew very well that it also meant that there was a high probability that this bastard who liked to stir up trouble was planning something big.

"I need to go to Qingtian." Zhang Yi said. "I must know what he wants to do!"

359. Battle of the Sky (Part )

Sky Academy

The floating city suspended above the city also began to emit black smoke, rising and falling, while General James sat in his office looking extremely tired.

The massive attacks by the killing beasts left the city devastated and inflicted heavy losses, and the news of casualties from all over the Cold Wind Kingdom made the people of the entire city extremely desperate.

Just blocking this wave of attack from the killing beast army caused his troops to suffer heavy losses. How should they face the upcoming, larger-scale army with more special killing beasts, and even an army of killing beasts led by Seren?

Escape? If we can't even stop the attacks of those crazy beasts here, then where else is safe?

Despair and fear are spreading in the city. Chaos has already occurred, but now, as the leader of this city, he can do nothing - because despair is also lingering in his heart.

bite--

At this moment, a white light appeared in General James' office and then expanded.

James, who noticed this strange phenomenon, immediately drew his gun and aimed at the white portal that suddenly appeared.

"James." Crowe came out of the portal and greeted his old friend. "You look really miserable."

"Kro..." James put down his gun as he looked at his old friend who appeared in front of him. "You shouldn't have come to the cold wind at this time..."

"Is it that bad?"

"This city can no longer be defended..."

Then, both of them fell into silence.

"...I brought you help." Kro took out his wine flask, took a sip, and said. "Although from what I understand, it doesn't seem to be a good thing..."

As Kro finished speaking, the tall Grey Knights and the Imperial Guards walked out of the portal, with Zhang Yi, Ruby and others walking at the end.

"It's really tragic." Zhang Yi said, looking at the tragic battlefield outside the window. "I'll inform Shalett, you hurry up and see if you can find Tzeentch according to the plan..."

After Zhang Yi finished speaking, the Imperial Guards and the Grey Knights prepared to leave.

"Wait!" James shouted loudly, trying to stop the actions of the giants in front of him, but neither the Grey Knights nor the Royal Guards paid any attention to him.

"Forget about the 'Tin Man'." Zhang Yi said to General James. "Over here, they are like this..."

"As for what happened..."

"I still have to explain it to you..."

After scoring twice, Zhang Yi explained the current situation again and also explained the grievances between Seren and Ozpin.

The coming of the Necrons and the Imperium will completely change the world, and will also solve the problems of Seren, Slayer, and the possible future Twin Gods once and for all, whether they accept it or not.

For Ruby and the others, this didn't seem to have much of an impact. After all, the existence of the Necrons was like the Gemini Gods, very far away from them.

But for James and others who had fought against Seren together under Ozpin, they did not believe Zhang Yi's words, especially when they knew that the Necrons needed the hunter's vitality to restore their souls.

Yes, Zhang Yi said that as the representative of the human empire, he would not let the Shubuzi world become the "vitality pasture" of the space dead spirits, but why did James and the others believe him? !

Perhaps they can indeed solve the series of problems brought by Seren, but for the people of Shubusi, it is just 'driving away the hungry wolf and welcoming the dragon', and Zhang Yi and his people are the dragon that does not know good from evil.

"Why should we trust you?" James, a soldier, asked Zhang Yi. "Even if everything Ozpin did was to cover up the mistakes he made, even if he hid a lot from us and caused countless people to sacrifice, he is still a tree."

"As an outsider who brings more threats, why should we trust you? Trust that everything you do is for this world?"

"... because the facts speak for themselves." Zhang Yi responded. "Because the Necrons will deal with Seren, who Ozpin considers 'unkillable', and at the same time the human empire will guarantee the independence of your world, and the vitality they need will be obtained in the form of trade..."

"Just as the Great War ended division and hostility, we will end today's divisions and improve the lives of all people..."

"Of course, you can think of this as a form of oppression, a measure to obtain 'high-quality vitality'..."

"How good are you? The oppression of the remote and barren Vacuum Kingdom, the oppression of the Funa people in the Beast Continent, and even in this city, there are poor people who are divided and oppressed."

"Tell me, General James, what are you asking me about? World peace or the rights of the Cold Wind Kingdom?"

“I speak for the people of Shubuzi!”

"But the reality now is that you can't protect everyone. In order to save the city, you have to give up some people and let them die." Zhang Yi said. "And I have a way to keep almost everyone alive."
