Warhammer 40 A New Hope

The food they collected was inedible due to the extremely low temperature. The lack of heat source made it impossible for them to cook it, so they could only starve to death while watching the hard food.

This series of problems resulted in the fact that those who returned to "Old London" from "New London" in the snowstorm could only huddle in the corner of the room and pray that death would visit them later.

Squeak--

The wooden door was pushed open, revealing the room was covered with thick snow, and the survivors hiding inside had turned into stiff corpses.

"People always make the most ridiculous mistakes at the most critical moments," Zhang Yi said. "They choose to 'die freely.'"

What Zhang Yi said and what she saw made Yang fall into silence. She couldn't imagine why someone would give up living for a moment of comfort and enjoyment.

"Just like what I said and what is happening in your world, even in this critical moment, sometimes people may not be able to reach a consensus on what should be done now, and the right choice, let alone between different species?"

"There were thirty-two people in total. Three of them died on the way. Including the three who were hanged, a total of twenty-six people arrived here alive."

"However, those who successfully reached 'Old London' also died one after another in this extremely cold weather... I had people rescue some people, most of whom were children."

After visiting the 'Old London' which had turned into a dead city, Zhang Yi once again held Yang's hand and walked towards the 'New London'.

As the balloon lighthouse swaying in the snowstorm was discovered, the huge steam tower in the giant pit came into view, followed by tents, hospitals and greenhouses built around the dark steam tower. Not far away, you can also see four-legged robots and...

A body hanging from a steam tower.

"It's still like this..."

At this time, this city, which may be one of the only three cities with inhabitants left on the planet, is in chaos with no end in sight.

"Why are they..."

"See that hanging body?" Zhang Yi pointed at the body hanging in front of the steam tower and said, "He should be the original ruler of this city."

"He's actually a very good leader, but because of some of the problems that exist in this city, it's very difficult to develop here."

"Even so, he managed to get enough coal to keep the steam tower running; he made sure everyone had a place to live, even if it was just basic tents and they were crowded; he made sure everyone had a meal, even if it was just soup."

"But he did manage to keep everyone alive, even though it was hard. But these people were still not satisfied - they had no hope, and their dissatisfaction was too high."

"No drinking, no fighting, no 'enough' rest time."

"It's ridiculous that they hanged him for these reasons and turned him into a dried-up corpse."

"They had no idea what to do next, and those who might have been the next leader, after learning about the state of the city, the misery of the previous leader, and the stupidity of the people, didn't want to be the new leader - because they couldn't think of a good solution, and..."

"A huge snowstorm is sweeping here, and the temperature in the entire city will drop to minus 100 degrees or even lower."

At this time, there were exclamations in the city because the steam tower stopped providing heating due to insufficient coal supply.

"What do you think?" Zhang Yi said to Yang. "About all this."

"I can go and help them, but you should know that the Warhammer world does not welcome people with many opinions. Guilliman has been busy going bald lately."

"... Is it really impossible to understand each other?"

"You can understand the story of Seren and Ozborn, but can you accept the series of things he did because of that?" Zhang Yi responded. "It's actually the same thing. Understanding is one thing, and whether you can accept it is another."

"You cannot accept Seren's extreme actions and Ozborn's deception, and you also cannot accept the ghosts eating people in order to survive."

"I couldn't accept it when I first came to the Warhammer world, but now I'm used to it... There's nothing I can do if I'm not used to it..."

"Sometimes it's like this, objectively speaking, no one is wrong, but they have to fight to the death for their own reasons."

"That's the reality most of the time, girl."

After saying this, Yang looked at Zhang Yi.

"Uncle, you're not much older than us, right?" Yang said. "Maybe even younger than Uncle Kro?"

"Not counting the time in the subspace, it's about the same," Zhang Yi replied. "And because of those guys, my appearance hasn't changed at all."

"But you want us to be much more mature."

"In some ways, yes."

"Thank you, thank you for taking care of us." Yang said. "We learned a lot."

"After all, I am responsible for bringing you to this wider and more dangerous world."

After saying that, Zhang Yi drew a light screen and spoke into it.

"let's start."

A huge floating battleship appeared above the city, instantly quieting the originally chaotic crowd. The metal existence that could still float steadily in the air in the snowstorm was completely beyond their cognition.

"Is it good or bad~"

Tyranids

Attracted by the energy released in a certain imperial battle, these space locust-like beings are pouring into the entire galaxy.

Their scale is so large that their numbers alone are enough to flood the entire galaxy - if it weren't for the Necrons' forces blocking their main hive fleets, the entire galaxy would have been flooded by them by now.

After forming an alliance with the Imperium of Man, the Silent King strengthened the galactic border defenses against the main Tyranid swarms, ensuring that these locusts would not affect their trade with humanity.

But even so, there are still some small Zerg tentacles that bypass the Necrons' defenses and wander within the human empire.

They endure hunger in outer space, keenly capturing every possibility and ready to feast at any time.

Although the universe is so vast and there are so many planets, there are only a very few planets with life that meet the appetite of the Tyranids. The Tyranids can only find these planets bit by bit.

But there are always unlucky people, right?

. . . . . .

[This is the Star Forge World, broadcasting this message to all Imperial ships and Imperial allies]

[Our galaxy is under attack by a hive fleet and needs support]

[Repeat, this is the Star Forge World, we are under attack by the Tyranid Hive Fleet, and need support]

[This is the Ultramarines Primarch and Regent Robert Guilliman. I have received your request for help. The fleet is heading to your galaxy.]

[Please be prepared for the reception]

442. Tyranid Invasion

Hive Fleet

This is the name given to this Tyranid fleet by the Human Empire, because compared to other Zerg fleets, this fleet has a more crazy appetite.

Although the Tyranids are called the Great Devourers, they are indeed just as their name suggests, turning everything in their path into part of the swarm.

However, when they encounter some tough bones and not much to eat, they will choose to take a detour or use some tricks.

A famous case is that when passing by the Dyson sphere where the [Supreme Star God] was imprisoned, the Zerg made a big circle to ensure that they would not disturb this powerful [Star God].

When a certain Zerg Hive Fleet attacked a Forge World, it chose to retreat because it could not grab the enemy's territory. (During the truce, when the Zerg Swarm did not clean up the battlefield, it did not grab the dense and dense, and the mechanical servants who also cleaned up the battlefield/laugh)

A certain Zerg Hive Fleet spent several years sending a Likart to weaken a certain Bishop World so that they could devour it at the lowest cost (according to analysis, if they fought hard, not only would they not be able to defeat it, but they might also not lose much by eating it).

All these cases prove that the Tyranids will also consider losses, and when the target is not worth their attack, they will choose to bypass it.

But the hungry Zerg fleet is different. They have an abnormally hungry desire for food, so when they find an area where they can eat, they will take a bite without hesitation. Only after they taste the sweetness or break their teeth, will they consider whether it is cost-effective.

Unfortunately, the Star Forge World and the surrounding human planets became the target of the Hungry Zerg Fleet.

The Zerg fleet, which had been wandering in the cold outer space for who knows how long, launched an attack. The swarm of Zerg troops that covered the sky and the sun rushed to the surface of the planet, and the huge biological ships opened their huge mouths towards the Empire's ships.

The Tyranid attack alarm immediately sounded in the area, and the Mechanicus's arks and armed ships rushed to intercept the Zerg fleet.

With the advantage of having a Forge World at their backs, they were able to stop the Hive Fleet before it could advance any further and inflict a heavy blow on them, but even so, they still managed to take control of a planet and began to do what they always do - devour.

Everything on an entire planet that could provide nutrition to the Tyranids was dug out and eaten, then turned into more troops and bio-ships.

Having tasted the sweetness and obtained supplies, the Hungry Zerg Fleet began to hatch troops on a large scale and started a tug-of-war with the human forces in the area.

This is not in the interests of the human empire, because wherever the Zerg goes, it will be completely devoured. They are being weakened, while the Zerg is getting stronger little by little.

Fortunately, Guilliman's fleet arrived, but Evelyne was not happy with Guilliman's decision.

. . . . . .

The Ultramarines ship carrying Evelyne and her guards had just completed an attack on a Tyranid biological ship. The huge biological ship had now turned into a pool of minced meat in space.

This [Ultramarines] fleet was heading towards the Star Forge World, and it was at this time that Evelyne found Guilliman.

"We are shifting our target. We should go to the star field I mentioned instead of fighting the bugs here!"

"I cannot ignore the Imperial call for help," Guilliman responded. "Would you ignore a call for help from an Eldar Ark?"

"...If sacrificing them can bring greater benefits to the entire Eldar, I will do it."

"But I won't." Guilliman looked at Evelyne and responded. "It should be clear that if the Tyranid swarm develops, it will not benefit any race."

"A bug doesn't care about the meat in its mouth, whether you are human or an Eldar!"

It was a very reasonable reason, and now that Evelyne and her people were on Guilliman's ship, they had lost the initiative.

"The people in the area you mentioned have reported to me that Slaanesh's attack has been suppressed. You don't need to deal with Slaanesh alone."

"But now I have something else to worry about!"

"I have to continue working." Guilliman ordered her to leave, and two champion swordsmen from the Extreme Legion stood in front of her.

Evelyne was invited out, and Visage had been waiting for her outside the door for a long time.

"I guess Guilliman did not agree to your request." Visage, who was wearing red armor, said to Evelyne who came out. "His purpose is obvious. He is delaying us."

"But his reasons are reasonable. If we don't want to break off relations with the Human Empire, we have no choice but to listen to them."

"To this day, I still think that cooperation with humans is not very useful."

"Even though we have undergone so many unprecedented changes because of them, do you still think so?"

"My attitude towards these 'ape men' has never changed."

"'The Eldar must cooperate with the Human Empire in order to rise again', I still believe in this sentence."

"I hope you won't regret it, Evelyne."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Guilliman's fleet successfully docked in the high-altitude orbit of the star forge world, and Guilliman met with the forge director of this forge world.

"Praise Om Messiah, with the support of a Primarch, this sector is saved."

"I need details of what's going on here right now."

"Of course." The forging director saluted Guilliman. "Our fleet withstood the impact of the Zerg swarm and blocked their large forces outside..."

"But there are still a large number of Zerg fleets that bypassed our direction and wreaked havoc on various planets."

"With the forge world here, we have enough weapons and equipment to arm everyone and resist the attacks of those small groups of Tyranids that bypass the defense line, but these bugs are smarter than we thought."

"They soon found out about several planets that provided raw materials for this forge world and began to attack them, hoping to cut off our weapons production and supply. We don't have enough manpower to assist those planets now."

"Once there is a problem with the supply of raw materials, we will not be able to supply enough weapons and ammunition to the troops and ships in battle. At that time, the Tyranid army will drive straight in and devour everything in its path."

"It sounds grim," said Guilliman. "How many Tyranid forces are you talking about?"

"If you want to concentrate your forces to deal with the larger Tyranid army first, then the troops you brought with you are definitely not enough." The Forge Director of Star Forge World said. "I have sent a request for help to the surrounding human empire fleets, but the subspace problems caused by the arrival of the Zerg swarm will take them more time to get here."

"And judging from the current situation, we may not be able to hold on until then."

The situation was very bad and made Guilliman frown. Just as the foundry director said, under the current circumstances, once problems arose in the worlds that provided raw materials for the forging world, it would only be a matter of time before this area fell.

"If I could use the Eldar's webway..."

There was a reason why Guilliman thought of the Webway, because during their previous voyage, they followed Evelyne's request and took a section of the Webway to speed up.

If we can use the webway again, reinforcements can arrive quickly and provide support here, but... Will Evelyne agree?

"I will first send my descendants and troops to those planets to assist in the defense, and then I will think of other ways."

“Thank you for your efforts.”

After finishing the discussion with the foundry director here, Guilliman returned to his ship and began to struggle.

He was struggling over whether he should go to Evelene to discuss the idea of ​​using the webway. This was originally just a normal discussion, and the result would be no or yes, with a few more conditions at most, but...

"...Damn Zhang Yi..." Guilliman said with a headache.

If it weren't for those "rumors" spread by Zhang Yi, Guilliman would definitely go to Evelyne calmly and say whatever he wanted to say, but now... To be honest, he was a little afraid of being hung on the tallest building in Macragge by O'Neill (the little emperor)...

"Calm down Guilliman, the rumor has cooled down now, go find her and get down to business, that's it!"
