Warhammer 40 A New Hope

The people not far from the top floor could also clearly feel the psychic energy emanating from outside the gate, which was more powerful than ether.

In response, the Lizardmen and the rebels simultaneously slowed down their advance.

"Unknown outsiders, you have disturbed this sacred ceremony!"

The last alien [Chosen One] - Warlock

It possesses powerful psychic powers second only to the elders, and he is therefore the most loyal and fanatical servant of the elders.

Obviously, the body of the [Berserker Queen] that was just thrown over was his masterpiece - he intercepted the [Berserker Queen] who was trying to escape and punished her for her desertion.

"You choose to help these petty and foolish humans, wreaking havoc on the precious creations of the elders." said the warlock. "We have seen many of you self-righteous creatures..."

"And in the end, they all fell at our feet!"

A powerful and violent psychic force erupted, creating a violent wind.

Although the enemy lost a lot of psychic energy and high-level units in the first contact battle, there are still many troublesome enemies here.

The situation is currently unfavorable for the Lizardmen and rebel coalition.

"What gives you reptiles the confidence to challenge us? You dare to challenge the great elders together with these bugs!"

"Blasphemer!"

"...you are like the Elves of Ulthuan, arrogant and insolent, which makes you and them unable to see more."

As the ancient and time-honored voice came, the psychic pressure brought by the Chosen Warlock suddenly weakened and disappeared.

Or, in other words, it was offset.

Four lizardmen [Temple Guards] wearing ancient magical weapons and equipment walked out from the entrance of the rooftop and stood in two rows.

Immediately afterwards, the somewhat small exit for the lizardmen was enlarged by an invisible force, and then the entire top of the exit and the surrounding walls were torn off and thrown down the building.

Some lizardmen, skin lizards and large giant lizards knelt on one knee and saluted in the direction of the stairs. Even some resistance soldiers bowed their heads in salute.

A suspended metal chair slowly floated out from the stairs, and a huge being emitting powerful psychic energy appeared in front of the warlock.

The fourth generation of the magic toad priest, Kwa Kwat

"But at least they did a lot of things that benefited the world and the Big Plan..."

"And what did you do, young hot-blood?"

"You are of no use to the [Grand Plan]!"

34. Joint Campaign (V)

"This is impossible!"

The moment Master Kwa Kwat appeared in front of the Chosen Warlock, he panicked.

This seemed very ridiculous, and everyone present could see that this arrogant [Chosen One] warlock panicked the moment the magic toad priest appeared.

During the time when they were chosen and transformed by the elders and then followed them to fight in the universe, they had also encountered alien creatures with similar psychic powers.

However, without exception, those creatures' use of psychic energy is more or less weaker than that of the elders.

His belief -- the elder can always use his miraculous psychic power to defeat every enemy.

This world has a more stable 'reality barrier', which makes it difficult to explore the subspace and develop psychic powers.

The solid 'reality barrier' not only ensures that anything that may exist in the [subspace] here will not escape into reality, but also limits many creatures' perception of the subspace, as well as the development and use of the energy therein.

Even beings as powerful as the elders have spent a great deal of time and paid a huge price to develop and control psychic powers.

Even after spending so much time, their psychic powers can hardly play a key role on a large battlefield.

On the other hand, on the Demon Toad's side, the 'reality barrier' in their world is not as solid as the one here, and the [subspace] is even more violent and dangerous.

Regardless of which generation of the magic toad priest, they all have the ability to release one to several legion-level magic, which can reverse the situation on the battlefield to a certain extent.

Summon a huge firestorm to engulf one or several phalanxes? Use powerful magic to make your soldiers' armor stronger and their weapons sharper and more deadly? Or simply turn the enemy's generals and leaders into a mummy?

They can all do it and it's not that difficult.

The elders might be able to do something similar, but never to that level in terms of scale, precision, or degree.

Indeed, the differences in subspaces and rules in different worlds have brought certain impacts to the magic toads.

But as a master of magic/psychic power and assistant of the ancient saints, he quickly adapted, and because of the tranquility of the subspace, he will be able to further mobilize and use the power of the subspace without worrying about interference from demons and evil gods.

The powerful psychic energy emitted by Master Kwa Kwat frightened a number of psychic units, including the Chosen Warlock, and the Warlock looked as if his faith had collapsed.

"I absolutely don't believe it!"

Powerful psychic energy was released from the warlock's body and rushed straight towards Master Kua Kuaat.

He wanted to prove that the powerful psychic power emanating from the giant toad in front of him that surpassed that of the elders was just a lie, and that the elders were still the strongest and possessed psychic powers.

puff!

The attack was rolled back, and the warlock spat out a mouthful of blood and almost fell down.

At this moment, the eyes of the magic toad priest emitted a purple light representing spiritual power, and huge energy began to gather.

[Advanced Ultimate Alchemy]

Powerful psychic energy enveloped all enemies in front of the magic toad priests. Their cell composition began to be distorted and changed, and they were slowly being replaced by gold.

Ordinary mutant soldiers, vipers, and mutators who did not have much psychic power began to wail in pain. They were powerless to resist the transformation process of this spell and could only watch their bodies gradually emerge with golden light.

The mutant priests, gray men, gatekeepers and Chosen Warlocks who possessed certain psychic powers used their psychic powers to resist the effects of this spell with difficulty.

However, the magic of the magic toad sacrifice did not end there.

【Advanced Casadora Comet】

A vortex appeared in the sky, and then a meteorite wrapped in a large amount of energy was teleported over. Due to the gravity of the planet, it fell vertically to the ground.

"How can this be...!"

boom!

The whole building was shaking. The huge comet directly destroyed half of the building and the huge psychic network transmission device. The whole building was filled with smoke for a while.

When the disgust faded away, a huge pit appeared in front of everyone, and there were many golden sculptures nearby.

“Hoo…Hoo…”

The arrogant [Chosen One] Warlock, among the three [Chosen Ones] who came to Earth, he has the strongest psychic power and is the most loyal and fanatical servant of the elders.

Now he was standing in a relatively intact part of the floor in a mess, gasping for breath.

At the moment when the comet fell, he connected the life forces of several mutants and aliens to himself, allowing them to share the deadly attack with him.

But even so, he still suffered considerable damage and almost lost the chance to escape.

Fear, that was the only thing he felt now, just like he had felt before for the Resistance, XCOM, or the other three factions.

She has always believed that her psychic power is second only to the elders she worships.

Whether it was the rare psychic soldiers in XCOM, or those [Knights Templar], or beings with powerful psychic powers like the gatekeepers, none of them could compare to the elders and himself.

He firmly believed that this power came from the elders, and those others were despicable people who stole/borrowed from the elders.

The elders' psychic powers are the most powerful, followed by the Chosen Ones. This is what they have always believed in and what has been instilled in them.

But now, this concept has been broken, and the warlock's worldview has collapsed...

The warlock, who had completely lost his will to fight, immediately activated the teleportation device and prepared to escape back to his fortress.

A powerful psychic force appeared, enveloped the warlock's body, and was about to take him away from here.

However, another powerful psychic force, like a drill, broke through the psychic force protecting him and pulled him out directly.

thump!

The warlock fell to the ground in an extremely awkward posture, his face full of disbelief.

"Is this what you can rely on without fear?"

The small teleportation device floated out from the warlock and landed in the hands of Master Kwa Kwat.

"Biometric authentication, psychic positioning and teleportation, and the ability to self-delete critical information if it falls into the wrong hands... ingenious design."

"Give it back to me! It was given to me by the elder..."

At this time, the surviving human resistance soldiers surrounded him and gradually approached him.

"Don't come over here! You bunch of despicable low-level creatures, I am the elders' [Chosen One]! I am..."

How ironic! The Chosen Warlock, who once used his powerful psychic powers to tease and torture others and had the most tenacious faith, now, because of the collapse of his own faith, is like a toothless wild dog, issuing powerless threats to the humans who once could destroy him with a wave of his hand.

His strength did not disappear, his weapon was still hanging on his back, and he was able to destroy these human rebels with almost no defense.

However, at this moment, he could not muster the urge to resist.

The most confident and ferocious lion, when his confidence collapses, he is also the most deeply hurt and cannot accept it.

The warlock was pressed to the ground in a ridiculous posture, with a multi-barreled heavy machine gun pointed at his head.

"We know that you will be automatically teleported back when you are seriously injured." A resistance fighter said to him. "And you have a very powerful healing device, right? The kind that won't kill you even if your head is chopped off?"

The warlock's helmet was removed, and the heavy machine gun was loaded with a full box of incendiary bombs.

"You lowly humans! Let me go! I am the Chosen One! I am the most powerful elder..."

"If your head and brain were smashed to pieces, would you still be able to survive?"

"!"

"Pretty close, isn't it?"

"You can't... I am..."

"Why don't we dare?!"

The barrel of the gun began to turn, and for the first time, the warlock felt how close death was to him.

"Elder, save me!!!"

Squeak—bang bang bang bang!

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Outskirts of the city

"The reconnaissance team reported that they have received and confirmed that the psychic network transmission device in this city has been destroyed and the enemy's command system has been completely paralyzed."

"According to the report from the Allied Rebels, they have controlled and destroyed most of the railway tracks in the direction of this city, and the railway reinforcements have been basically contained."

"They said they needed more heavy weapons to destroy the enemy reinforcements coming up the road."

. . . . . .

Zhang Yi and Captain Locke received message after message in the temporary command room.

The psychic network transmission device was destroyed and various support routes were controlled or destroyed, which means that the siege is about to officially begin.

"In that case."

Zhang Yi looked at Locke and gave the order.

"Notice to the entire army, the siege has officially begun!"

35. Joint Campaign (VI)

The destruction of the railways made it impossible for the elders' troops to transport troops on a large scale. Road transportation was also obstructed and destroyed. In this situation, the elders had no choice but to send out a large number of airships for air transportation.

But Zhang Yi and others, who had anticipated this, sent out all the air defense equipment this time.

In addition to various individual air defense weapons, four [Hydra Anti-Aircraft Artillery] are located in the four directions of the city to intercept all enemy air units within range.

At the same time, simple airports were built on the ground for the landing of various fighter planes and transport planes, so as to facilitate the interception and shooting down of all possible fish that had escaped the ground air defense firepower.

When the news of the destruction of the psychic network transmission device was further confirmed, the siege officially began.

The Leman Nuss tanks began to advance in number, followed closely by the Astra Militarum and the rebels, and began to actively attack the mutant soldiers and aliens whose organizational coordination had almost completely disappeared.

At the same time, the light transport aircraft [Red Devil] belonging to the XCOM organization also bypassed the remaining alien anti-aircraft firepower and began to deploy their soldiers.
