Warhammer 40 A New Hope

A witch led Queen Katalin and her small army to inspect the charred land and a very small number of groves. Everything was normal.

Soon after, they also received news of the Norse rebellion and Ulfric's return. Queen Katarin then decided to lead her troops into the northern mountains that originally belonged to the Norse to obtain more intelligence.

Just as the Queen's troops left Kislev and the Lizardmen's troops had not yet arrived, an accident occurred.

The witches and tree people of Kislev suddenly accused outsiders of destroying nature and slaughtering natural spirits!

. . . . . .

The sound of bombs exploding echoed in the forest, and the scorching flames ignited the forest that had finally recovered.

Buzz－－!

The high-speed spinning chainsaw sword cut the tree monster in front of him into two, and the bolt pistol in his hand kept firing, smashing the wild wolf that pounced on him into a pool of minced meat.

Nature was crying in fear as this powerful being in power armor slaughtered everything in sight and set the forest, which had barely recovered, on fire.

A giant eagle descended from the sky and grabbed the power armored being with its sharp claws, but the latter grabbed its claws and threw it to the ground. The rotating chainsaw sword pierced the chest of the giant beast, cutting its chest and pulling out its internal organs.

The tree spirit with a heavy body raised its huge fist and smashed it at the man, and the two collided with each other with a dull sound.

Bang bang bang－－!

Buzz－－!

Several explosive shells hit the chest of the tree spirit, knocking large pieces of solid wood away, and the buzzing chainsaw sword pierced into its chest, and a wooden heart was gouged out.

As the last resisters were killed, in the sea of ​​fire, the giant in blue power armor slowly turned his head - it was Titus!

The image obtained by divination disappeared, and the lizard man and Titus who were watching fell silent.

"It's a changeling," Master Kroka said. "It's returned to this world."

"My troops and I have never entered the forest," said Titus. "They want to cause a conflict between us!"

"This is obvious."

In the Old World, there have been cases where nature spirits and witches have attacked small human settlements, claiming that this is their revenge against outsiders and demanding that the Lizardmen, as their administrators, hand over the murderers.

"We don't know their true purpose yet." Master Kroka said. "But if we want to deal with this matter properly, it will definitely take a lot of time..."

“And this will also have an impact on our operations.”

If it were the Human Empire, then those who caused trouble because of Tzeentch's conspiracy could actually be directly suppressed forcefully, but for the Lizardmen, the responsibility given to them by the Ancients told them that it was not the right time yet.

"It alone and the insane Norscans cannot break through the defenses of Ulthuan. Moreover, any Chaos here will be suppressed by the Maelstrom."

"Then, it is basically certain that their target will not be here, so the only option is..."

"Kislev," Titus said. "What lies beneath that scorched earth?"

"It is a land without the protection of gods, and many things can be carried out on it."

"Then let's go there and call everyone over."

435. Khorne Assault

Former Kislev

The giant tree man, also a legendary tree man who survived the previous disaster that swept the entire elves, one of the three elder tree men, Dursu, personally descended on this scorched earth, holding the huge amber sword, leading a large number of natural spirits, demanding an explanation from the Lizardmen.

The previous war dealt a huge blow to the entire natural environment of the Middle Ages, and the [Oak of Ages] almost withered.

With their efforts, the environment finally recovered, but now an outsider dared to destroy the forest they protected and slaughtered all the forest spirits living in it? !

The Lizardmen must give an explanation for this matter!

The Ents could not set foot on the land of Ulthuan, so those former Kislevites who joined the Empire of Man became the targets of these angry protectors of nature and forest spirits.

But... the result of their subsequent minor friction with the returning Kislevites surprised them greatly.

Because of their geographical environment and location, the people of Kislev are tough and famous for their courage and ability to fight. After all, whether it is the Norsemen plundering from the south or the Chaos invasion, they are the first to suffer.

After leaving the medieval world, they came into contact with more high-tech equipment and became familiar with more advanced tactics - it can be said that apart from necessary economic development and people's livelihood, the military aspect was the area they came into contact with and developed the most.

An officer who arrived at the ancient human-inhabited planet because of a mission once asserted that the army of Kislev would become another special existence in the human empire's star army, and might even be on par with the Cadian Commandos or the Krieg Death Corps.

The Kislev Tsar's guards, wearing power armor, stood like a wall in front of the mad tree spirits, knocking them to the ground or throwing them back to where they were.

The charge of a small group of dryads failed to shake the Kislev soldiers in front of them, and after a wave of conflict, there were no casualties on both sides.

This scene was obviously beyond the expectations of most people present. They did not expect that in just a few years, the fighting power of the Kislevites would become so powerful.

At this time, the Lizardmen's unique floating pyramid was teleported above everyone, and several teams of pterosaur riders were soaring in the air.

"That's it." Master Mazdamuddi appeared in front of everyone and stopped the conflict. "I already know the whole story..."

"We don't need to fight over this. A hearing can solve all the problems..."

. . . . . .

Durthu, one of the three elders of the Treemen, the surviving witch of Kislev, and Titus, who was believed to be the murderer, and his company members.

Because of Guilliman's return and Zhang Yi, the investigation of Titus ended ahead of schedule, but even so, there were still many people who doubted his purity and loyalty.

(Zhang Yi almost let the cat out of the bag during this period, causing Titus to be labeled a follower of the evil god/Guilliman and other high-ranking officials knew that Titus was favored by Khorne)

As soon as Titus appeared, he was identified as the culprit and asked to pay the price.

Master Mazdamuddi once again hushed the group, saying that Titus had been in Ulthuan with Master Kroka when the incident occurred, and then showed Master Kroka's proof.

However, at this moment, a Kislev witch broke through the crowd and walked to the front.

"The Lizardmen once saved the world and protected nature from chaos. We naturally respect them..."

The old, hunchbacked witch pointed her staff, which contained the skull of an unknown beast, at Titus.

"We don't trust him! This outsider!"

"I heard from my raven that the Norscans, who had gone mad again, were kneeling down to worship a being, a being favored by the evil god Khorne."

"He single-handedly fought his way out of the encirclement of countless green-skinned orcs and killed their chieftain!"

"The corpses of his enemies piled up like a hill at his feet, blood stained his armor, and he killed a demon prince all by himself!"

"Titus, how do you explain this? Why would those stubborn Norscans spread your deeds and worship you?!"

The words of this unknown witch immediately caused a huge impact here. Those who came here to seek justice began to question Titus based on the words of the witch and demanded an explanation from the Lizard Man.

"An expected conflict," said Master Mazdamuddi. "Someone is spreading the word about you."

"That's not a very good thing," said Titus. "The witch was still in the crowd, not leaving or hiding, but following the crowd to ask for an explanation - she couldn't be a changeling."

"This situation..." The originally calm Master Ma suddenly frowned because he felt a familiar breath appearing nearby.

"Blood sacrifice to the blood god! Skull sacrifice to the skull throne!"

"For the Chosen of Khorne!"

The barrier between reality and the subspace was broken, and a large number of vampires rushed out of the subspace, which was already free of chaos.

The Lizardmen troops in charge of the guard immediately organized a defense line and collided with the Khorne demons that came from nowhere. At the same time, this news was also known to others in the hearing.

Suspicion about Titus rose again, forcing them to take the time to deal with the problems here - unless they wanted to make things worse.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Deep in Kislev

As the Norse longboats, which were commonly used by the Norse, docked at the shore, the Norse who still believed in the four gods of chaos followed Ulfric into the depths of the land that had turned to scorched earth and was covered with ice and snow.

Even though the cleanup work has been carried out, there are still many Norse people who still believe in Chaos. Now, as if they have grasped the last straw, they follow the people in front of them and go deeper.

Not long after, Ulfric, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the Norsemen who followed him.

"It is time," said 'Ulfric.' It is time to give everything."

Tear--!

The huge metal sword directly cut a Norscan in two. The man who saved them from the Lizardmen and led them through layers of blockades to reach this land suddenly drew his sword against them.

People began to panic and tried to escape. After all, the Norsemen who were really willing to die for Chaos had already died in the previous war. The ones here now were those who were both less determined and more determined.

The screams did not last long, and soon 'Ulfric' killed everyone. Then the bodies of these people began to dry up quickly, and the blood evaporated inexplicably.

The symbol symbolizing Tzeentch appeared in the air, followed by a blue light curtain.

'Ulfric' disappeared on the spot, and from the light curtain, a large number of Tzeentch demons walked out and headed towards the former chaotic wasteland.

Change has begun.

. . . . . .

"Those idiots who only know how to fight and kill will buy us time~"

"My Lord has given up on this world, which means it is no longer that important..."

"The experiment was successful. As long as we have the coordinates, the energy, and the door, we can move towards more worlds."

"It's not over yet. This is not over yet."

"The mortal world has been diverted from watching, but in the subspace, those false gods are still watching without any suspicious movements."

"I also need a bait, a bait that can attract all the gods~"

"Rats, yes, those rats, they are not extinct yet, but they will be soon~"

"Then let them be exterminated~"

"Everything is for endless changes, for a wider world!"

436. The Horned Rat Trembles

Big Horned Rat

This unlucky god, who had caused a lot of trouble at the beginning of the war and was killed by DOOM alone and beaten by the sudden appearance of Khorne, has now lost almost all of his believers.

The [Council of Thirteen] no longer exists, and the glorious [Skaven City] has been completely razed to the ground - the Lizardmen did not even leave a blade of grass on that land untouched, cleaning it up from top to bottom, inside and out.

If the greenskins were the first to be cleared out after the war, then the Skaven were the second race to be cleared out.

The Demon Capital was destroyed, the major clans fell apart, the cunning and disloyalty inherent in the ratmen began to show, and internal fighting began.

Just as these small clans and groups of ratmen began to fight among themselves for different reasons, the Lizardmen and Zhendan began their cleansing operations against them.

Having lost their unified management, command and regular weapons, the ratmen were completely unable to resist this targeted attack. At the same time, their god, the Horned Rat, no longer responded to their prayers.

One rat-city after another was destroyed, and thousands of rat-men were dragged out of their hiding places screaming and then beheaded.

Even though a large number of Skaven had been annihilated before, this mopping-up operation still captured a large number of low-level ratmen. Some large pits used to burn the ratmen's corpses burned for several days and nights without being extinguished.

This operation almost wiped out all the Skaven in the medieval world. Except for the normal ratmen in Zhendan and a very small number of scattered ratmen, there was no trace of them in the entire medieval world.

However, in the warp, the siege on the rat-man god the Horned Rat was not smooth. This giant rat fully demonstrated its characteristics as a rat, completely disregarding its believers, abandoning most of its things, and hiding deep in the warp.

Although the subspace here is so small, it is only a matter of time to find this evil god who has almost given up everything and has become extremely weakened. However, until now, the gods of the Middle Ages have not found it.

As the tentacles of chaos once again penetrate deeper into the medieval world, this giant rat hiding somewhere and shivering is about to be squeezed dry of its last bit of value.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

奸奇

He controls almost all magic in the Warhammer world, and he even had an artifact that truly recorded all magic, but he was forced to destroy it under the threat of the other three evil gods.

For those gods of order, finding a scared rat is a bit of a hassle, but for Tzeentch, it's not a big problem.

The Changeling in the medieval world quickly found the spell it wanted, and then it found and killed 9,999 Skaven at the fastest speed, making the already small number of them even worse.

Using the corpses of these ratmen, it completed the ritual and successfully detected the location of the Horned Rat.

Then, it's time for pranks.

. . . . . .

[When the big bell strikes thirteen times, the big horned rat will descend upon the earth, and the whole world will fall into the hands of the ratmen.]

This was a prophecy that had been known to many ratmen prophets long ago, and countless clans went crazy because of this sentence - but now, it has become a joke.

Thanks to the rat people's strong fertility and population base, even after two large-scale targeted purges, a certain number of rat people still survived, but they were just alive.

Having lost their largest clans, cities, and their gods, the remaining Skaven are already degenerating into wild animals.

One of the few Grey Prophets. It can even be said that this ratman cannot be completely considered a Grey Prophet. He just plundered some magic items from the corpse of a ratman Grey Prophet, and after sleeping for a while, he inexplicably gained some spellcasting ability, and his intelligence also increased as a result.
