Warhammer 40 A New Hope

Moreover, the human government clearly stated that if they choose to refuse, they will later launch an attack on all dead space human governments and unified × occupied areas.

Whether from the powerful combat capability demonstrated by the Human Empire or the current situation, accepting this request for talks is their only option for the human government, and for Unified × this is an opportunity - in fact, if the Human Empire is not really short of manpower at this stage, then humans like them who worship alien creations and are openly hostile to their own civilization and race will either end up becoming slaves, or being converted into mechanical servants, or being executed on the spot.

On the other hand, for Unified×, which had just experienced another zombie mutation, those hopelessly brainwashed lunatics had basically all turned into zombies. After seeing the consequences of the red divine seal, the remaining people also began to waver in their beliefs.

So, taking various factors into consideration, a meeting began (the rebels currently do not have a unified commander).

The conditions for the Human Empire are simple: dismantle all current resistance forces and their respective leadership, and make them accept the management and rule of the Human Empire, otherwise they will use force.

This direct and unnegotiable request was naturally opposed at the first moment. The Unification Church opposed the tough demands made by the Human Empire with its own beliefs and free will, while the human government repeatedly stated that even at this point, they still had a lot of troops and warships and could still fight to the death.

And when the Hope, a ship the size of a continent, appeared near the Earth's orbit, both sides fell silent at the same time - powerful force always makes people think more before refusing.

Representatives of the Human Empire and the other two parties then held consultations on a series of issues, including rights after surrender - what would happen if they did not accept it?

Not to mention that they have lost a large number of troops and all the divine seals, even if both sides were in their heyday, it would be a question whether they could break through the defense of continent-sized warships. Now they can only make themselves look as decent as possible.

A few days later, an agreement was reached, and the human government of the Dead Space and the Unified × on Earth announced that they would order the dismantling of various armed forces, or hand over their command to the human government. At the same time, their original command levels were also disbanded and surrendered to the Human Empire, or were detained and awaiting trial.

This process was not smooth. After all, not everyone was willing to hand over their power and military force, and not everyone was willing to surrender and let others decide their life and death.

But this was also within the expectations of the Human Empire. What awaits these stubborn resisters will be swept away like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

As mentioned before, neither the corrupt human government of the Death Space nor the Unified × that was sold out but still helped others count money were what Zhang Yi and his team needed to worry about. What they worried about were only the divine seals that had devoured countless civilizations and the unknown number of blood moons they had created.

Moreover, what they were worried about was not whether they could destroy the unknown number of Blood Moon fleets, but how to extract endless energy from them while ensuring safety and minimizing casualties.

For the humans of this world or the almighty God's Seal, the Warhammer world is an existence that they cannot imagine.

476. Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom (I)

Dead Space World, Terra/Earth

Europe

The former government army garrison stationed in the direction was firing at the heavily armored berserkers in front of them, but the pulse rifles in their hands could not cause much substantial damage to the target.

Dozens of seconds later, the huge heavily-armored berserker broke through their defense line, knocked away the sandbags used as cover, and then crushed the defenders inside into meat paste.

"Don't come over!!!"

A defender who survived the first wave of attacks shouted and fired at the monster in front of him, but the light weapon in his hand had no other effect except to further enrage the heavily armored berserker.

A few minutes later, all the defenders stationed on the street here who were unwilling to abide by the negotiation results were killed. Several mutants then appeared, cleaned up the battlefield, controlled the berserker, and moved on to the next area.

In another area, a human soldier tried to escape from a box in terror, but a black snake's tail wrapped around his neck and dragged him back, and soon after a venomous snake monster crawled out of it and moved up the wall, looking for its next target.

Under the surveillance of the New Territories Army, this alien redemption army from the XCOM world is steadily clearing out the resistance forces in this area, and once again showing the world a power that they have never understood.

Not long after, the commander who had originally threatened to kill every last soldier suddenly announced his surrender on his own communication channel, asking all the soldiers to lay down their weapons and accept integration.

The soldiers who were either relieved or indignant upon hearing the news did not know that the commander who had previously called on them to resist to the end had a gray-skinned alien standing behind him, and a purple line connected the two together.

. . . . . .

North America Region

The stone pyramid, like an ancient relic, floats in the city, seeming somewhat out of place.

However, it was this incompatible existence that had just destroyed the human air force, and then a lizard-like creature appeared from its vicinity and was destroying the defenders here.

boom--!

A tank's artillery fire successfully hit the enemy, but the next moment, the [Holy Lizard] wearing power armor rushed out of the smoke caused by the explosion. The power glove on its arm destroyed the armor of the tank in front of it with just one blow, and then broke off its turret.

This battle is not only because the Lizardmen accepted the commission to help the Human Empire, but also a training session for them. After all, the barrier protecting the medieval world will disappear soon, and they will face the Chaos Army with 40K firepower and equipment.

Although a little funny, these lizardmen, most of whom used high-tech melee weapons, showed overwhelming military strength against the defenders here on the battlefield.

The small and skinny skin lizards, with blowpipes in their hands, can pierce the protection of simple power armor and cause damage to the people inside; holding power spears flashing with electric light, the lizard warriors hold energy shields to withstand the enemy's firepower, charge at the enemy in front of them, and then chop the enemy's head off; the stone pyramid temple suspended in the air is like a mobile firepower fortress, shooting down all enemy vehicles trying to approach from the air; the pterodactyls flap their wings and fly in the air with metal armor on their bodies to intercept any fish that slip through the net.

The defenders in the city seemed to be dreaming at this time. Aliens, which the human government had never seen in hundreds of planets, appeared in large numbers at this moment.

Although the situation was not optimistic, the garrison commander here still did his best and gave orders to his soldiers to defend against the Lizardmen's attack.

However, not long after, their underground command post was dug out from the ground and flew into the air amid a violent tremor.

"I really hope you can stop the meaningless resistance. After all..." A creature that looked like a toad or a frog looked at the bewildered human commander in the air and said, "We are still allies with humans."

"Young warmbloods need guidance, and they are your best teachers."

"In some ways..."

. . . . . .

Moon, a colony

This place is still within the sphere of influence of the Unified ×. In the previous battle, they occupied this relatively remote and poorly defended area.

They were lucky. There was no divine seal in this area, so they did not have to face the zombies. The relatively remote location also prevented them from becoming the primary target of cleanup by the human empire later.

They were also unfortunate. When the Unified × leader on Earth announced that he would give up resistance, the Unified × commander in this area did not intend to surrender - just as the human government was not united, the Unified × was not of one mind either.

Apart from those who have been brainwashed by the Seal of God, there are also some people who share the same idea as the human government and want to use the inexhaustible energy of the Seal of God to achieve the goal of ruling mankind.

And now, all the people who were originally the largest faction in the unified × have become materials for the divine seal, and not even many corpses are left. This has caused other factions to begin to stir.

Why are they unfortunate? Because...

It was the Necron forces that dealt with them.

Although a certain number of high-ranking Necrons have regained their souls and bodies that can perceive the outside world, there are still a large number of Necrons who are still in a soulless state.

The amount of [vitality] that the Shubuzi world can provide is a drop in the bucket for the entire space undead population. If they are ranked in order, it is estimated that some of the high-ranking officials of the small dynasties at the back may not be able to get their turn even after hundreds of years.

In order to change this situation, the high-ranking officials of various small dynasties or remote dynasties began to try to make friends with humans and participate in missions to other worlds.

On the one hand, this can increase your influence and give you a better chance of recovery. On the other hand, what if there are other ways to restore your soul?

Similarly, they were very enthusiastic about this mission.

A huge, sickle-shaped battleship flashing green light hovered above the target colony. Two giant pumice towers fell down, and a steady stream of Necron warriors were teleported out of them.

Different from the twisted and hideous fear brought by the corpse transformations, those Necron warriors who have no self-awareness and only follow orders bring a kind of cold fear to their enemies.

Sizzle－－!

A green electric light flashed by, and the target that was hit turned into ashes without even a scream. The cold metal skeleton did not react at all, stepped over the fallen corpse and continued to move forward.

Whoosh—boom!

A rocket hit an advancing Necron Warrior, knocking him down with the huge impact and explosion.

"Hold the line, they are not immortal!" A human who looked like a commander shouted to the soldiers around him in the position. "The seal of God bless us! We will eventually..."

He suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his words because he saw green lightning flashing from the green metal skeleton, and the Necron warrior who had been struck stood up again.

[Resurrection Protocol]

Sizzle－－!

The green beam hit a soldier next to him, and another pile of dust appeared on the ground. The scene just now completely crushed the morale of the soldiers in the unified defense line here, and the defeat began.

Passing through the scattered crowd, the commander successfully avoided the shooting and subsequent siege of the Necron troops during the rout, and came to a secret building. In panic, he pushed open the door of the room and shouted to the people inside.

"Bishop, run away, we have already..."

He suddenly stopped talking halfway because he noticed that the back of the head of the bishop who led them to independence seemed to be... green?

"bishop?"

Realizing that something was wrong, he walked over tremblingly, and then he saw the bishop's face, which was also green and full of cracks!

thump!

The bishop's somewhat fat body fell to the ground, and he died silently.

Seeing this, the commander sat down on the ground. He couldn't imagine what kind of enemy was able to bypass their defenses and kill their leader in this closed room.

"I...I must escape! Yes! I must..."

squeak--

An unknown voice, accompanied by a faint green light, sounded behind him.

"Another..."

Squeak--whoosh!

A green light flashed, and the man fell to the ground, with the same green color and cracks on his face as the bishop.

"Death Mark Shooter reports that the high-level targets of the target force have been eliminated."

. . . . . .

Dead Space Earth, the location of a certain resistance army

Almost all the resistance forces on Earth today were spontaneously organized after Zhang Yi announced the truth about the Divine Seal to them. They demanded that the current human government stop researching and replicating the Divine Seal, and give a reasonable explanation for the previous zombie disasters and incidents related to the Divine Seal.

Because they were established not long ago, the rebel organizations around the world are quite loose and almost all fight independently without a unified command.

This has also led to some of them planning to fish in troubled waters, just like the establishment of the Unified ×, they attracted a large number of people to work for them with promises that do not need to be fulfilled and a bright future, but in fact they just wanted to seize power and enjoy a life of superiority.

Zhang Yi and others who were dealing with the integration of the resistance forces on Earth happened to encounter such a being who called themselves the "Rebels".

"So, scum and villains are really everywhere." Zhang Yi said, looking at the leader of the resistance army in a certain area who was nailed to the wall in front of him, standing among the corpses. "It's amazing that you can gather so many scum to 'buy for free' with you."

Just a short while ago, Zhang Yi and Fugen came to the city under their jurisdiction, and with the strength of only two people, they wiped out all the soldiers of the resistance army here, and then pulled him out of his sturdy fortress and nailed him to the wall - just like taking a book out of a drawer.

As mentioned before, although there are people who spontaneously formed a resistance army to resist the corrupt government and the Unification Church that deceived everyone because of Zhang Yi's words, there are also people who use the banner of the resistance army to cheat and buy for free.

In the world of dead space, although Zhang Yi and others do not regard the corrupt human government, the troublemaking Unification Church and ordinary people who are ignorant of the truth as their main troubles, in order to smoothly implement the plan to capture and intercept the Blood Moon Fleet later, they still have to ensure the stability of the rear they have occupied.

Otherwise, if the rear explodes while you are fighting, it will be too embarrassing...

It just so happened that this fake rebel leader was the first to speak out and was caught by Zhang Yi and his men.

"I'm talking to Fugen." Zhang Yi looked at the man who was in agony but couldn't faint, and said to Fugen beside him. "Putting him in the 'Crucifixion' position should be quite intimidating, right?"

"If you are not afraid of your father slapping you after he finds out, go ahead..."

477. Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom (Part )

Dozens of days later

[This is reconnaissance ship number three. No anomalies were found near the orbit of Mars. Everything is normal.]

[Received. Continue the investigation. If you hear any of this, please respond, No. 2 reconnaissance ship.]

[This is the No. 2 reconnaissance ship. We are investigating the orbit of Venus and have not yet discovered...]

[This is the No. 1 reconnaissance fleet! A large-scale spatial fluctuation was discovered in Area C of the Keboi Belt, suspected to be... Zizz--! ]

【You...can't run away...】

【New... Food...】

[Call all outgoing fleets to immediately retreat to Saturn or the vicinity of the Earth-Moon orbit to prepare for defense]

[Notify the garrison personnel to prepare for the attack]

. . . . . .

Blood moon

Just as Zhang Yi and others analyzed, there are a huge number of blood moons floating around in the Milky Way in this world.

Before the birth of humans in this world, the Divine Seals, a species created by an unknown race, began looking for suitable civilizations to parasitize in the Milky Way, using their flesh and blood to create huge blood moons and strange corpse monsters.

When the sky-blocking blood moon fleet appears over the target planet, any resistance is futile. The blood moons, some of which are as big as a satellite, cannot be defeated by ordinary firepower. The mental interference called "death space" that appears along with the blood moons and can cover the entire planet makes it impossible for most carbon-based life forms to make effective resistance.

It is unknown how many carbon-based civilizations have been devoured and transformed by the Divine Seals and Blood Moon Fleets. Now, like before, they are leaping towards the target star area, and the number of Blood Moons this time is much greater than in previous operations.

There had never been a situation where such a large number of Blood Moons acted simultaneously before. Even if a Divine Seal was exposed to a certain civilization once, giving the enemy a chance to prepare in advance, a normal number of Blood Moon fleets would still destroy and devour that civilization's home planet and defense fleet with minimal losses.

The existence of the Blood Moon and the Divine Seal is like a natural enemy to most carbon-based creatures. Without enough time to study how to defend against the pervasive mental influence, even the strongest fortresses and the most powerful warships will be breached by their own people who have been transformed into corpses from the inside. Most of the time, civilizations that find the Divine Seal will not study it in depth because of its influence, which is why they can act recklessly in the Milky Way.

This time, a black divine seal located on the cantilever of the Milky Way sent a message for help, saying that they had encountered enemies.

Enemy? How long has it been since I last heard of this term? After wandering in the universe for so long, destroying and devouring so many civilizations, the God Seals have never encountered an existence that can be called an enemy.

It's the same this time, they think that it's just another divine seal that has messed them up, so they let their brothers and compatriots come and deal with the mess it has made - shouldn't they laugh at it?

All the Divine Seals heading to the target area thought this way: They have never encountered this before, not now, and not in the future!
