Warhammer 40 A New Hope

Gradually, the sound of gunfire died down, and all the IMC soldiers here had turned into corpses on the ground, while the Pathfinder Space Marine continued to walk into the facility.

． ． ． Dozens of minutes later...

All the IMC soldiers in the entire facility have been wiped out, and now the control of this interstellar communication facility has fallen into the hands of the Pathfinder.

"I just received news that the boss has dealt with the two bosses and is preparing to join us here." Technical Sergeant Farr said. "We need to repair this facility and use it to contact the rebel fleet."

"Is it necessary? Even if we don't repair this facility, we can still contact the rebel fleet, right?"

"Yes, but in order to reduce their hostility and lay the foundation for possible cooperation in the future, we need a more acceptable way to establish contact with them." Farr said. "If a group of insect-headed aliens rushed to your planet and told you that we came with good intentions, what would you do?"

"I'll blow their heads off."

"That's right."

"Come to think of it," Sabeth suddenly asked. "Who was the original boss guarding this area?"

"Richter?"

[Warning, enemy Titan detected]

Along with the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground outside, the leading Titan, a Powerful-class Titan armed with a 40mm heavy artillery, opened the door of the cab and called out while looking at the communication facilities in front of it.

"I don't know who you are, why you're attacking here, or whether you have anything to do with the resistance." Richter said as he stood on his Titan. "These have nothing to do with me."

"It's all just business, Schickt diese grossen Kerle in den Himmel! (German: Send these big guys to the sky!)"

Then, the enemy Titan troops descended from the sky and began to attack the communication station, and there was constant sound of gunfire.

"So, why should we just sit back and watch him come out and say a bunch of bullshit?" Sabes asked. "We can save a lot of trouble if we just shoot him when the time is right."

"Um... because of the cutscene?"

"..."

"I'm thinking of another question," Farr said. "When the boss opens the door, will it open to the outside or inside?"

Just as Farr asked this question, the sound of gunfire outside suddenly became more intense.

"Enemy Vanguard-class Titan spotted, focus fire!"

"Oh my god! Where do all these people come from?!"

"...should we go help?"

"If you don't go, the boss will definitely cut you down later."

Top Hunter Mercenary Group

Now, this top mercenary group in the "Border" area is working on transferring the [Holy Ark], and the transport ship [Draco] is preparing for the delivery.

Blisk, the leader of this mercenary group, was once affiliated with the IMC and shone brightly in the Hidden Campaign. He is a legendary pilot.

He heard the message Zhang Yi left him, and he had to admit that this unidentified Iron Pilot did give him quite a surprise.

The reason why Brisk withdrew from the IMC was that he believed that the IMC was not qualified to lead him, and his legendary record made him feel superior.

This was why he joined the Top Hunter Mercenary Group. He was indeed very powerful and became the leader of this group in a short time.

But now, he suddenly felt that everything he had been proud of and boasted about was not worth mentioning.

Because, shortly after he received the news, the black and gray giant that Zhang Yi mentioned appeared in front of him.

[Space Sharks], like [Astral Knights], is a poor and destitute type of chapter, although not as miserable as the latter.

The long-term life of insufficient material and equipment has taught them to be thrifty and to communicate with different people. Mercenaries happen to fall into this category.

Unlike those Space Marines who are gentler in character and willing to get close to mortals, the Space Marines in this regiment can be said to be extremely brutal. They even destroyed an entire planet in order to win a battle.

And it is precisely because of this that they are able to control those mixed mercenaries.

"Brisk." The Space Shark Space Marine wearing a shark-tooth-like helmet threw the two heads in his hands to the ground and said to the human in front of him. "Legendary Pilot."

Brisk, who considered himself a legendary elite, was speechless at this moment. The pressure brought to him by the giant in front of him was too strong!

Like a shark swimming on land, Blisk could even clearly see the dried blood and craters of various sizes on the giant's power armor in front of him.

Compared to these giants, the top hunters he led were weak, okay? !

"You guys... are really amazing!" After a long silence, Brix said to the black and gray giant in front of him. "You are the real legends!"

"...We want the Holy Ark."

"Yes, of course, that thing is worth a lot of money, and everyone wants it." Bricks said. "But my mission is to deliver the Holy Ark safely to the IMC Space-Time Folding Weapon Facility."

"It's not a conflict."

"That's right, there is no conflict." Brix said. "My mission is just to deliver the Holy Ark to its destination. What happens next is not included in the contract."

"But this means I need to betray them in the heart of the IMC."

"You can refuse our deal, but if you choose to refuse, you will become one of the countless corpses in that facility." said the Space Shark Space Marine.

“You’d better accept it.”

421. Tianlongxing Transport Ship (I)

As to whether Bliss would agree to Zhang Yi and their proposal, the answer is obvious. Whether it was quitting IMC, joining the Apex Hunters, or later hosting the Apex competition to select talents, it all reflected one of his characteristics - arrogance.

He believes that he is different from ordinary people, that he is special, and that only equally special people have the ability and qualifications to walk with him.

And now, a powerful Space Marine appeared before him, proving to him that his idea was just a joke and also giving him a new goal, which he would naturally accept with pleasure.

Just like what [Space Shark] said, the only consequence of Bricks' refusal is to become one of the corpses on the ground, and this result will not change at all.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh－－!

boom--!

Zhang Yi, who suddenly appeared on the battlefield, naturally became the primary target of the Titan troops led by Herrit and was warmly "welcomed".

This is actually not a big deal for him. With the protection of the Four Gods and the power of the Emperor, even the Titans of the Warhammer world cannot pose any threat to him.

However, due to the opponent's sufficient firepower, Zhang Yi was temporarily suppressed even with the fire support of a team of [Pathfinders].

This is not an uncommon thing for Zhang Yi. His lack of practical experience and unfamiliarity with his own strength often make it difficult for him to gain the upper hand.

"I gave you face, didn't I?!"

At this moment, the marks symbolizing the four gods lit up simultaneously on his left arm. Like a plant injected with hormones, a thick layer of cuticle grew from his left arm and gradually covered his entire body.

"The boss's situation seems to be a little bad..."

"What the hell is that?!"

The local Titan did not stop shooting, and piece of cuticle fell from his body, but soon more cuticle would replace it, and all these growing things covered Zhang Yi layer by layer, turning him into a giant bigger than a Titan.

Bear--!

A raging flame ignited on the giant's body, and blue lines like blood vessels appeared on his body.

"I gave you guys a chance, didn't I? You big, stupid idiot with a mouth full of dirty talk!"

"It seems like the boss is still the boss..."

The Legion-class Titan closest to the transformed Zhang Yi was grabbed by him with one hand and then thrown into the air. The entire huge metal body was thrown dozens of meters away and fell off the cliff in the distance.

"Shoot! Shoot!"

As the commander, Richter shouted loudly in the communication channel. Various attacks fell on Zhang Yi on the side, and a large amount of stratum corneum was shattered.

In response, Zhang Yi raised his hands high and pounded the ground, sending a fist of flame whistling along the ground, setting several enemy Titans on fire.

"Activate the core! Destroy this monster!"

Following Richter's order, several Polaris-class Titans took off and bombarded the giants on the ground from high above.

[Bomb Swarm Core Activation]

Zhang Yi was suppressed for a moment. The cores of all the Titans, including the Powerful Titan driven by Richter, were activated almost at the same time. A large number of missiles flew towards the target. They also did not forget to send several Titans to suppress the Pathfinders that provided long-range fire support.

Ding--

A blue-gold magic shield appeared, blocking Zhang Yi, but the shield kept flashing.

This phenomenon was not caused by the enemy, but by the daily quarrels among the four gods.

[Crush them! Tear apart these cowards who can only hide in iron shells! ]

[Use my power to drag them out and use their intestines to weave sweaters~]

[No, no, no, you need some variety. You shouldn't use such a cookie-cutter method. You should... mmm! ]

[I blocked his mouth]

"Stop arguing!" Zhang Yi felt his head buzzing. During this period, he was using his abilities as much as possible and trying to use them skillfully so as to control them instead of being controlled by them.

This is not easy. Even after such a long period of adjustment and cultivation, these four have gradually become less extreme, but they are still not normal - especially Tzeentch, he just changed from calling the original body to cause trouble to letting us do it ourselves.

Thanks to the layers of protection from Ancient One and Son of the Star, these four are unable to have a direct impact on Zhang Yi, but they can talk.

"Calm down, don't listen to them, control them instead of being controlled by them."

【Laser core activation】

The baptism of missiles had just ended, and several [Laser]-class Titans activated their cores, and several thick beams of light shot towards Zhang Yi.

"Portal, go ahead!"

As golden and blue sparks appeared in the air, several portals appeared precisely in the path of the light beam, engulfing it, and then shot out from another portal.

The situation before them was obviously beyond the enemy's expectations. Those Laser-class Titans were hit unexpectedly by their own attacks and turned into a pool of molten metal liquid amid the explosion.

The cuticle that had been broken before has grown back, and flickering blue electric light appeared in the giant's hands. The originally clear sky now has black clouds.

“Oh my god…”

At this time, Richter and others finally realized that they had offended the wrong people, but it was too late.

[Psychic Storm]

Under Zhang Yi's guidance, lightning fell from the sky, instantly affecting all enemy Titans, and explosions sounded afterwards.

The powerful lightning not only caused huge damage to the enemy Titan, but also caused considerable damage to the driver.

When the lightning dissipated, all the enemies turned into debris on the ground, and occasionally a few living drivers were groaning in the wreckage of the Titan.

Driving his huge body, Zhang Yi walked to the wreckage of one of the [Powerful] class Titans, opened the cockpit, and looked at the medium-rare Richter inside.

"Try to talk dirty to me again?"

At this moment, the [Pathfinders] in the interstellar communication facilities also came out and looked at Zhang Yi, who had changed greatly.

"Wait a moment, I'll see how to change back..."

Suddenly, Zhang Yi's left hand stood up, emitting golden light, and then he punched himself in the face, knocking him out from the layers of stratum corneum and falling at the feet of a [Pathfinder].

"...The Emperor is mighty."

"Don't you care about your Primarch?!"

"Yes."

"I TM..."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

It has been almost a day since the Rebel Army's Ninth Fleet lost contact, and Sarah Briggs, commander of the Predator Corps, still has not received any news.

Just when she didn't know what to do, news came from [Typhon].

But the issuer was not the soldiers of the former Ninth Fleet or Anderson, but an unknown third-party organization.

This unknown organization first sent them the [Space-Time Folding Weapon] that the IMC was making on Typhon, as well as the weapon's attack targets, which included some information collected by the late Colonel Anderson. Of course, this also included the news of Anderson and Lastimosa's death, and the fact that the Ninth Fleet was almost completely destroyed.

Soon after, the organization extended an invitation to the rebels to destroy the IMC forces on Typhon and seize the core of the Folding Space Weapon - the Holy Ark.

Regardless of cooperation or not, based on the intelligence they have obtained, as the rebel force closest to Typhon, she must lead the team there, otherwise the rebel home planet will be destroyed, and the advantage they have worked so hard to gain on the "Border" will disappear, and the IMC will once again become the largest force on the "Border".

A great battle over the Holy Ark is about to begin, and this time it will be even more brutal than the previous one.
