Warhammer 40 A New Hope

Zhang Yi said, lying on the Gorgon's smooth snake tail.

"Don't make me sound like a scumbag. I've been so busy lately..."

"When you say busy, does that also include taking four little girls around and meeting that busty robot girl?"

"Forehead..."

Looking at the half-smile on Gorgon's face, Zhang Yi felt a little guilty.

"Hmph, man~" Gorgon snorted coldly, but didn't say anything else.

"Aren't you angry?"

"Do I look like I'm not angry?" Gorgon's snake-like hair hissed at Zhang Yi. "I just expected it..."

"You kings or heroes are all like this."

"Even Heracross, who was once considered a breath of fresh air in Greece, had many women, not to mention the others..."

"During the Golden Fleece Expedition, many so-called Greek heroes lingered on the Isle of Women~"

"Man~"

Seeing this, Zhang Yi was silent for a while, then suddenly stood up and forced Gorgon into a corner before he could react.

"!" Zhang Yi, whose appearance had become handsome due to the previous adjustments and the power of the five gods, was right in front of Gorgon, which caught her off guard and her face began to turn red.

On the other hand, Zhang Yi was a little confused after doing this. He had no idea what to do next. You can't expect him to suddenly come to his senses after being single for so many years.

Just when the atmosphere was about to turn from ambiguous to awkward, three bodies shining with golden light appeared from the door.

(BGM: Awake)

"Oh~ My dear Primarch~ It's time for you to train~"

"You've been running around all this time and have forgotten about this. As a Primarch, your physical fitness cannot be so weak~"

"My chest is shaking. I can't wait to continue training you, my dear sir."

"Oh my god! Don't come over here!"

Before Gorgon could react, Zhang Yi dived into his arms. Then, while she was looking for money, the big, barely dressed guards pulled Zhang Yi out of her arms and disappeared into the room.

"I'm sorry to bother you Miss Gorgon, have a nice day."

Looking at Zhang Yi who was struggling to be dragged out, and then looking at the big guy of the imperial guards who was covered in oil, Gorgon touched his chest, was silent for a long time, and then laughed out loud.

"hehe--"

"This kind of life is not bad."

"Yes, sister."

400. Rest and Preparation

Ringworld

"... (vomiting soul)..."

Zhang Yi, who had finally escaped from the hands of three big guards, was lying on the table with a look of despair on his face.

"If I run slower, these three guys will strip me of my clothes and grease me..."

Click, click, click--

"There is definitely an old man behind this..."

Click, click, click--

"...what's that crackling sound?"

Following the sound, Zhang looked over and found that the beast girl Sophia was eating something that looked like a maple tree trunk while drinking maple sap.

Click, click, click--

Zhang Yi's gaze did not stop Sophia from eating. She continued to stuff the branches soaked in maple sap into her mouth.

"I won't feed you."

“I don’t eat trees either…”

In just a few minutes, Sophia had finished all the branches and maple sap in her hands, and her mouth was still covered with maple sap.

"..."

Looking at Sophia, who was big and mature but like a child, Zhang Yi was silent for a moment, then took out a piece of paper and wiped the maple sap from the girl's mouth.

"There's a reason why your clan leader is worried about you." Zhang Yi said, looking at Sophia in front of him.

“Ahh—”

At this time, Sophia suddenly opened her mouth and put the tissue soaked in maple sap that Zhang Yi handed to her into her mouth.

"Aren't you afraid of getting a stomachache?!"

"Pooh!"

She spat out the paper that she had eaten clean onto the ground, and Sophia once again stuck directly to Zhang Yi.

"Good man, I want to eat cake~"

"Didn't you just finish eating?"

“I’m not full~”

"Why are you looking for me? I can't bake a cake."

“Because they all listen to you~”

Sophia, the striking beast girl, who was the same size as an ordinary space warrior, had no self-awareness at all. She hugged Zhang Yi with her huge body and rubbed it against him, acting coquettishly.

"...When the Knockout Herd agreed to my request and followed me to the Space Marine camp, they just treated me as a fool to provide food, right?"

"I don't know, but good people give us food, so they are good people." Sophia said while hugging Zhang Yi. "And good people will give us delicious food that we have never tasted before~"

"I am just a long-term meal ticket..."

At this time, Sophia, who was hugging Zhang Yi, suddenly stopped. Although she did not let go of her hands holding Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi could clearly feel that she became alert.

"Do I look scary?" Lorgar's voice came and said.

"If you don't wash off the words on your face, it will be really scary." Zhang Yi said as he looked at Luo Jia who appeared in front of him. "Old Larou let you out?"

"You old bacon...you really have no respect for your father at all."

"Respect doesn't need to be said." Zhang Yi responded. "So, you are going to help Guilliman?"

"Yes, but before that, I still need to retrieve my offspring, if they can still be saved."

"Based on your previous performance, I can already imagine a bloody storm."

"If it doesn't work, I'll send them to talk to the god named Onir." Lorgar said. "Talking to that dark being will be more useful than anything else..."

"It is really foolish to put everything you have on a powerful being."

"You have come to this day too~"

"But now the entire human empire is repeating what I did." Lorgar suddenly changed the subject and said, "You are now the hope of all mankind."

"If you don't do it right, then the entire human race is likely to fall into another abyss because of you."

"Blame me?" Zhang Yi said. "You know, if there is a choice, ghosts will choose to come to your world."

"I know, but now it's done. Whether you like it or not, you have once again become the spiritual pillar of most people, just like my father."

"This is what you call 'dealing with the problem' in the future. You're not going to kill me, are you?"

"...Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Well... judging from what you did before, it was indeed stupid."

"... (blood pressure rises)..."

Although Luo Jia knew that from Zhang Yi's perspective and experience, everything he had done was indeed extremely stupid, but... is there anyone who would say it so directly like you?

"...You know your father has very strict standards for your choice of spouse, right?" Lorgar said after a moment of silence. "I recorded your behavior with this little demihuman girl just now."

"What?"

“I have sent it to my father.”

"You damn bald guy, you're trying to trick me?!"

"Same here~"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The ship where the Pathfinders are stationed is the Unknown Hope.

This ship, which served as Zhang Yi and the Pathfinder's initial ship, was undergoing repairs after the battle with the Far Planet. This also gave them some time to inspect the entire ship and its equipment and personnel.

Inside the ship, a large number of weapons and equipment were neatly placed in the warehouse, including vehicles that were extremely valuable to ordinary Star Army legions.

Made from blueprints from the XCOM world, the patrol team consists of MEC and SPARK autonomous machines and Astra Militarum soldiers wearing power armor, carrying out their daily patrols.

A large number of Adeptus Mechanicus technical priests are carrying out daily maintenance and, of course, their daily madness.

In the training room of the ship, Chapter Master Kerr held a pitch-black, shadow-like giant sword in his hand and slashed at the armor plate in front of him that served as a test target.

Brush—click!

The pitch-black giant sword of unknown material did not cut through the metal plate in front of it as expected, but stopped in the middle.

"This EGO equipment is not very suitable for Space Marines to use." Kerr commented. "Its sharpness is not as good as ordinary power weapons. The only advantage I can think of is that it is very light."

"And this weapon will hardly show up in any instrument detection except visually."

"But it seems that we don't need to go through any security check. Perhaps we can hand it over to the Assassin's Court?"

"Using EGO weapons consumes one's spirit, and excessive use is likely to cause damage to one's spirit." Farr, a [Technical Sergeant] in the [Pathfinder] regiment, said. "In this world, mental problems are more than just distortions."

"It seems that at least some of the EGO equipment is useless in battles at the battle group level."

"These equipments are not prepared for large-scale battles. Didn't you see it when you went there? Those people emptied out all the resources of a company, and there are only a few dozen sets. The rare ones only have one set."

"...It seems impossible for me to have a set of [Bo Ming] level EGO equipment for everyone..."

"You should note that the prerequisite for obtaining [Bo Ming] is that you can beat back [End Bird/Big Monster Bird]." Fal said. "That kind of existence, without knowing its characteristics and weaknesses, it will be no problem to destroy a nest city."

"Not to mention the existence of [Epidemic Doctor], [Data Deleted], [Nothing] and the like."

"Instead of expecting this, it's better to find some EGO equipment with higher 'blue damage (soul damage)'. Those things should be able to restrain the existence of demons and the like."

"We only know of four or five such weapons. They are not easy to obtain." Kerr handed the Shadow Greatsword to the Tech Priest beside him and said, "Not to mention that we only have two Abnormalities, one of which is a support type."

"To be precise, that abnormality is a being that makes people work overtime for free." Fal said. "It's really... insane..."

"But speaking of which, can that biology master named Zero make me a belt out of the [Divine Equipment] equipment in his hand?"

"You haven't given up yet?"

"If normal science and technology can't do it, then something outrageous should be able to do it, right?"

"You should know that wherever there is a Kamen Rider, you can find a certain magenta guy and the little devil. Don't you think this world is chaotic enough?"

"Don't you think it's cool to have a belt to change your outfit?"

"Then you'd better have the so-called invincible time when you transform..."

401. Military Training in Progress (I)

【Unknown Hope】

"We received news earlier that the first batch of 'Gray Redemption Expeditionary Force' sent into the XCOM world has successfully established a foothold in a relatively stable subspace area."

"The second expeditionary force has been sent in, and the Grey Knights who have gone there have confirmed that, thanks to the relatively stable subspace environment of this world, the condition of these Grey Knights is relatively good."

"But at the same time, they also confirmed a piece of news - on a planet near the solar system of this world, there is a weak point between the subspace and reality, and a group of demons are preparing to come to the real universe from that weak point."

"In addition, we can confirm that this group of demons seems to be related to the great demon (stronger than ordinary demons, but weaker than great demons) who called himself Philadix that we expelled earlier. Their target of attack is obviously the solar system that is not far away."

"After discussions between Guilliman, the current Emperor of the Imperium of Man, and many other tasks, it was decided to build a safe portal between this world's warp and the real world, so that we can conduct operations and explorations in the more dangerous warp in the future."

"To put it bluntly, there will be a new Grey Knight training base here." said Kerr, the Chapter Master of the Pathfinders. "What is there to hide? Anyone with some connections knows that there is such a Space Marine force that is secretly clearing out demons..."
