Warhammer 40 A New Hope

But this special testing ground will never be abandoned by Chaos. As long as there is a chance, they will definitely make a comeback.

The white portal once again appeared in the ancient Lizardman city of Itaza, and a large number of Extreme Warriors walked out of it.

"Welcome, human allies." Mazdamundi, the Lord of the Magic Toads and a disciple of Kroka, greeted the Ultramarines Space Marines who came to support the Middle Ages. "We are glad that you can come to help us."

In response to the Toad Lord's greeting, the leading [Ultramarines] took off his helmet - it was Titus.

"We will not sit idly by when our allies in the human empire ask for help," Titus said. "We need to know more relevant information now."

"We will share with you the information we have obtained at this stage."

A team of Space Marines led by Titus was sent to the Lizardman Temple in Ulthuan. This newly built city looked completely different from most medieval cities - a city where technology and magic coexisted.

The entire city has stone walls covered with magical engravings, as well as high-tech metal turrets. Huge dinosaur-like creatures patrol nearby, and lizardmen warriors wearing heavy power armor patrol back and forth.

Even though the medieval world is temporarily free from the threat of Chaos, the Great Whirlpool in Ulthuan is still important. It will be one of the safeguards for the Lizardmen against greater threats in the future.

Titus and others met the current supreme ruler of the Lizardmen, the first generation of magic toad priest Master Kroka, and obtained from him a glimpse of the future seen by this powerful creature.

"I have sent Tiktaq`to to the former Kislev to search and station there," said Master Kroka. "But we all know that as the evil god who controls change, the accuracy of everything we predict and see is unknowable."

"Apart from Kislev, which has been reduced to scorched earth, where else could Chaos target us?" Titus asked Master Kroka.

"The area that has not yet been fully stabilized is near the two-level portal that was once the gateway for Chaos to invade the real world; the Chaos portal that was once guarded by the Dwarf God of War, located somewhere, and the Soul Forge located in the Warp."

The enemy's possible targets are far more than imagined, and even the Lizardmen, who have basically controlled the medieval world, cannot temporarily spare so many people to take care of every place. But now that things have come to this, they can only take it step by step.

"My team will go to those places with the Lizardmen troops to guard against possible enemies." Titus said. "The Imperial Fleet stationed here will also provide assistance when necessary."

After the negotiation, Lord Kroka stopped Titus who was about to leave and signaled others to leave temporarily.

"I know you," Lord Krokar said. "Your bravery would make even Khorne look askance."

"You saved a planet for mankind, but you were treated unfairly. Chaos has been waiting for an opportunity to tempt you to fall and add another general to Chaos."

"I am loyal to the Empire, and always have been."

"I will not question your loyalty, nor should I, but..." Master Kroka said. "You should be very clear about what kind of problems your presence may cause..."

"You could be a breakthrough, for both of us."

"Be prepared, Titus. A storm is likely to begin around you."

433. Kislev Witch

kislev

Or the Ashes of Kislev

The previous Chaos attack and the beams of light that shot down from the sky turned the entire area into ruins and ashes. This successfully blocked the Chaos attack at the time, but it also completely destroyed this place.

A large number of warriors who swore to die with Kislev were also buried here. Those magnificent cities have now become ruins, and there is even nothing left.

Katarin Borha, the former Queen of Kislev, once again set foot on this familiar land - set foot on this land that had turned to ashes.

At this time, a team of Lizardman cavalry approached from a distance, and a Lizardman warrior jumped off his mount.

"We have trouble..."

. . . . . .

A Hagar witch is an Ugol (a Kislevite tribe) woman chosen by the nature spirits of Kislevites, who call her the "Ancient Widow", to communicate with and borrow the power of nature spirits from all over the frost wastes of their motherland. Most Ugol women first have "vision" before they can manifest this power, but they must first be smart women.

These witches who believed in nature and lived in the Kislev Forest had played a big role in delaying the Chaos troops during the Chaos invasion. Countless forest spirits and wise witches disappeared on the battlefield - but this was also the problem.

Before the orbital bombardment, a very small number of witches went to the forests of the medieval human empire to avoid the bombing. After everything settled, they returned to Kislev, which had been reduced to scorched earth, and tried to rebuild the natural environment here. As believers in nature, they were not suitable to go to the outside world that was like a metal forest.

The orbital bombardment of the human empire was very powerful and thorough, which made their actions very unsuccessful. Because of this, some witches began to hate Kislev, the human empire and the lizardmen who had left.

Although they saved the entire Middle Ages and temporarily drove out chaos, they also caused severe damage to nature, and large tracts of forests disappeared.

This hatred made them very unfriendly to the Lizardman troops that arrived here. Although they did not attack them directly, they did not allow them to go to certain areas without permission.

Some tree people or forest spirits who still remain in the medieval world also have this attitude. After all, in order to defeat chaos, a considerable area of ​​the natural environment has indeed been destroyed.

The Lizardmen had not wanted to intervene at first, just thinking of leaving some 'reservation' on their own planet, but the current situation forced them to step into these territories that did not belong to them.

The hunched old woman stood in a newly formed forest, yelling at the Lizardmen troops until she saw Katarin Boha approaching.

"Queen of Kislev, you are back." The witch said. "What are you doing here? To pay tribute to the bear god Ersun?"

"You destroyed everything in Kislev with your own hands, why are you back now?!"

"I know," Katalin responded. "Kislev was lost in my hands, I know that..."

"But this doesn't mean it's gone forever."

"You mean you rebuilt Kislev? In the outside world?" the hunchbacked old witch said. "What's the point?! The whole of Kislev has been turned into scorched earth! The bear god Ursun is dead! Kislev is dead too!"

"But all this is to destroy Chaos!" Katarin's voice drowned out the chattering witch. "We lost everything, but it all made sense!"

Just as Katarin said, the various races and creatures in the medieval world lost a lot, but they succeeded in expelling Chaos temporarily. Demons and evil gods will no longer be around them in a short time. This is also the reason why the tree people, forest spirits and witches have stayed in their own places until now and have not caused trouble everywhere - on the one hand, they cannot defeat them, and on the other hand, expelling Chaos is indeed respectable enough.

"You sacrificed everything, all of Kislev." said the witch. "So did we..."

"I know, I know why you came back, I know why you stepped into the forest again..."

"I know that Chaos will return, but I still doubt your intentions." The witch said. "Since we once fought for the land of Kislev, you can enter the forest with permission, but we will keep an eye on you, Kislevites!"

Warhammer 40K Universe, Warp

[The Most High] Seraph, who came to the Warhammer universe from another world and betrayed its original master, the Father, to become a Tzeentch demon. Now he is pacing in front of a circle made of flesh and metal.

"We found the coordinates, not just one coordinate." Seraph said. "My new master has anticipated this situation, and he has already prepared everything..."

【Yes】

The ring suddenly made a sound at this moment, and eyes appeared from it and said.

[Infinite world, unknown world, my Lord will allow more worlds to join this great game]

[Gate of All Worlds], this is the name of the demon that was created by combining with the fragments of the Maykr portal. From then on, Tzeentch's side had the ability to travel to other worlds.

But in reality, issues such as world coordinates, threats from unknown worlds, and energy all limit the effectiveness of the portal. After all, there was a precedent in which a group of demons rushed into the hell of the DOM world and were beaten into pieces.

In other words, the Tzeentch demons still cannot get rid of Zhang Yi, which is why Tzeentch leaves marks in different worlds, even if these times are not suitable for demonic activities.

As Zhang Yi gradually gained control of the arm, the four gods' inclinations were shifting towards neutrality, and the back-up plan left by Jianqi was gradually becoming ineffective, so he was seizing every opportunity to prepare for more changes and more foreshadowing.

And now, they are about to kick off more changes.

The ring of flesh, blood and metal began to rotate, emitting an ominous red light.

Some familiar footsteps were heard from behind Seraph. Seraph, who had transformed into the great demon Tzeentch, turned around and was frightened by the person in front of him.

It's DOM? !

But then, Seraph waved the staff in his hand and released psychic lightning towards the DOM in front of him.

DOM wearing the Archon's armor dissipated in the lightning, and was replaced by a ghost-like existence.

Tzeentch, the Changeling

"You can't perfectly imitate beings that are not from this world." Seraph said as he looked at the floating spirit in front of him. "Perhaps your ability to change is unique and perfect in your world, but in my opinion, you are just so-so."

"Oh~ [Supreme] Seraph, that was just a little joke~" The voice of the changeling sounded in Seraph's ears. "As a being personally greeted by Tzeentch, I am ashamed of myself~"

"Go and fulfill your mission, Changeling," the Seraph ordered. "Bring chaos to the world that thinks it is free from the power of Chaos and wants to rest easy!"

"I gladly accept~"

. . . . . .

Norse

These barbarians who lived in the polar regions and usually worshipped the four gods of chaos underwent a great purge after the people of the medieval world were driven out.

The Norsemen had already suffered heavy losses from the previous failed large-scale offensive with Chaos and the large-scale orbital bombardment. The subsequent targeted purges from the Lizardmen and Cathay turned the Norsemen into an endangered species.

Out of humanitarianism, the Lizardmen retained a small number of relatively normal Norsemen as samples and allocated several reservations for them to live in.

Almost all the strongest warriors died in the previous war, leaving behind only some old, weak and sick people. Coupled with the original environment they lived in, the Norse people did not live a good life.

Go south to plunder as usual? Sorry, most of the people in the south have left, with only a small number of people from the Medieval Empire and Bretonnia who are unwilling to leave, and most of them live near the towns protected by the Lizardmen.

This forced many Norscans to leave the ice fields or bombed wastelands, join these towns, and abide by the rules there.

But even so, there are still many Norscans who have become what they call "Southerners", stubbornly living on the land they once lived on, and some even retain the worship of the evil gods who have left.

A squad of Lizardmen raided a Norse town on the ice sheet, where the Norsemen were still worshipping the four Chaos Gods who no longer supported them.

The profane totem poles were toppled, the frail guards slain by the lizardmen warriors, and the flames set their tents on fire.

An old and frail priest knelt down, thinking of the crude, almost unrecognizable statue in front of him, and knelt down to worship it, muttering to himself, but there was no response from beginning to end.

A tall giant lizard warrior blew away his tent, exposing him to the ice and snow, and then swung the metal battle axe at the stubborn old priest.

Tear!

The sound of flesh being torn was heard, but the old priest was safe and sound, and the huge monitor lizard fell down in front of him.

"You, you are, the wanderer...Ulfric!"

The monster hunter, Ulfric, holding a Viking-style battle axe, stood in front of the old priest, standing next to the corpse of a giant lizard warrior whose blood was still warm.

"I need an army," Wulfric said. "I need to make the world remember the name of Norsca again!"

434.Start

Changeling

Also known as the "Confused Prankster", "Deceitful Trickster" or "Trickster of the Way Changers", he is the ultimate representative of the deceptive and misleading aspects of the Way of Change.

The Changeling can transform into almost any creature (except Tzeentch himself), from the most inconspicuous insect to the largest demon. Even gods find it difficult to see his changes. Perhaps only Tzeentch can see through the layers of disguise and sorcery and see the true nature of the Changeling - a form that perhaps even it has long forgotten.

This being with many faces and faces has many "glorious" deeds, including but not limited to:

He stole Slaanesh's precious Silver Apples of Knowledge, then sneaked into Nurgle's gardens, eventually provoking a war between the two sides.

Entered Khorne's Brass Fortress and locked the gates, so that when Khorne himself returned, he had to tear the doors down.

In the 40K universe, the Changeling once used conspiracy and changes to cause conflicts between the Dark Angels and the Space Wolves, and also tampered with a WarBoss's favorite rifle by turning into a fart spirit, causing it to be killed by its own weapon during a battle.

Visitors from other worlds brought new fun to this being who loved "pranks", but as Seraph said, he could only completely imitate the existence in the Warhammer universe, and his imitation of visitors from other universes was not perfect.

And this will become its next goal - for more fun.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The news of the Norsca warband and the suspected reappearance of Ulfric was soon known to the Lizardmen, and the magic toad priest who was recently in charge immediately organized a team to investigate the situation.

However, when they arrived, the target had disappeared, as had the Norse tribe that was recorded.

Signs of Chaos' return have already appeared, and Master Kroka has immediately strengthened the defenses of Ulthuan. At the same time, all warships in the Medieval World are now docked in orbit above Ulthuan, ready to provide support at any time.

This news naturally also informed the dwarves and Zhendan who were still in the medieval world, warning them to be careful of possible Chaos attacks or conspiracies.

A squad of Ultramarines and Pathfinders led by Titus also went to Ulthuan to help defend it, while the rest of the Space Marines went to the former Kislev region to help Katarin resist possible Chaos attacks.

Groups of Lizardmen air forces began patrolling the skies over Kislev and along the coastal areas, trying to locate possible Chaos forces, but this was undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

This news also caused a certain impact among the originally stable Norse people. Although the Norse tribes that chose to stay on the ice field showed more changes, those Norse people who decided to integrate into the normal medieval human society basically had no reaction - life now is much better than life on the ice field and in the tribe.

The originally peaceful medieval world was once again in turmoil due to the emergence of chaos. All intelligent races that tended towards order would not sit idly by and watch all this be destroyed.

And what they fear is exactly what Tzeentch likes.

. . . . . .

Former Kislev Region

The destructive beams that fell from the sky destroyed almost everything here. The earth became scorched, the forest turned to ashes, and all the seeds buried deep underground were burned.

In order to stop the attack of Chaos, the entire Kislev was destroyed, which also had a great impact on the recovery work of the witches who later returned to this land.

The previous battles had killed many nature spirits and powerful witches, and the self-sacrifice of the Bear God was undoubtedly further damage to Kislev, which had already been reduced to a scorched earth.
