Warhammer 40 A New Hope

At his call, magic toad priests from all over the world gathered at the Lizardman Temple in Oshuan. The huge vortex that could weaken the power of Chaos was also slowly growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this time, the space stations of the Lizardmen in the high-altitude orbit of the medieval world also emitted a light blue curtain of light, which gradually enveloped the entire planet, and the several Lizardmen warships also gathered together.

No one questioned what Master Kroka said, just as he had always guided the Lizardmen in the right direction, the remaining races and gods in the medieval world now believed in his judgment.

And indeed, just as Master Kroka sensed in meditation, some gods in the medieval world had also sensed similar things in various ways afterwards.

A few days after he issued a warning to the entire medieval world, a familiar scene appeared: the dimensional stone above the evil moon was transformed into chaotic energy, and then the originally invisible barrier built by the [Ancient Saint] to protect this world was lit up.

The blue lines spread all the way across the barrier, and the evil moon became smaller and smaller. Soon after, the evil moon made of dimensional stone completely disappeared, and the blue lines covered the entire barrier.

Click--click!

With a crisp sound, the barrier began to break, and the fleet with the Chaos logo appeared not far away.

[Now, you can’t hide anymore! The creation of the ancient saints! ]

The local ships at the front launched a charge towards the medieval world and collided with the human fleet that had been stationed there for a long time.

The ships behind also followed, suppressing the human fleet with their numerical advantage and heading towards the medieval world.

[Do you think I'm unprepared for this?] (Kroka)

The barrier was breaking, and some of the falling objects, like transparent glass, suddenly stopped in the universe and then shot rapidly towards the Chaos ships.

brush--!

Just like a hot knife cutting tofu, small island frigates, cruisers and battleships were all cut in two by the sudden attack of transparent debris without any pause or hindrance.

[Get out of here! You disgusting blue soft creature!] (Kroka)

[Then let's see if you have what it takes, big toad! ] (Servant Tzeentch)

Master Kroka's counterattack almost completely destroyed all the first batch of Chaos troops that rushed into the medieval world, but the divinations of the auspicious instruments and magic toad priests showed that more enemies were on the way.

On the surface of the medieval world, the subspace that had become peaceful due to the previous actions of Chaos, has once again become dangerous and turbulent because it has established a connection with the larger subspace outside. The original sites of the Chaos Gates at the two poles of the planet have also been significantly impacted, and some scattered Chaos Demons have once again descended upon this world.

It is also because of this that Master Kroka had to shrink his power and focus on maintaining the [Great Vortex] to prevent more and stronger Chaos Demons from descending into this world. At the same time, he tried his best to maintain the stability of the reality barrier to prevent them (demons) from opening large-scale subspace portals.

The indigenous people who remained in various areas of the medieval world also took their own actions at this time.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The Chaos Spawn, formed by a large number of animal corpses and dissipated Warp energy, was knocked down by the attack of the Dwarf individual rocket launcher, and then the Dwarf Fire Dragon Gunner stepped forward to clean up the corpses.

The land outside Changyuan of the Zhendan Empire was an area that had long been controlled by Chaos. Because the defense measures of the Ancient Sages were destroyed, Chaos reappeared in this area and launched an attack on Zhendan.

The same is true for the Old World. Due to the strengthening of the Great Vortex and its geographical location closer to Ulthuan, the number of demons appearing is fewer and their strength is weaker, but it is not peaceful either.

The Skaven, a race of ratmen who had lost their gods and were gradually degenerating from intelligent creatures into beasts, became violent once again because of the reappearance of chaotic energy and wanted to attack all the creatures around them.

Even after several raids, the number of Skaven is still large, but they are all low-level slave rats and have no organization at all.

The great vortex is still there, and with the reinforcement of several magic toad priests including Master Kroka, the entire medieval world is now relatively stable, and the sporadic demons that appear are all within the range that can be dealt with.

Therefore, what they have to do is to keep foreign enemies out of the medieval world as much as possible and prevent them from landing, thus ensuring the stability of the surface of the medieval world.

But on the other hand, Master Kroka also ordered the third, fourth, and fifth generation magic toad priests who did not participate in the temporary enhancement of the [Great Vortex] to lead their troops to patrol every corner of the medieval world.

Jianqi is not stupid. Knowing that there is a big whirlpool in this world, it is impossible for him to let his subordinates deliver it like this - he must have a conspiracy.

And this is indeed the case.

Tau resettlement site

Beasts driven mad by the power of Chaos attacked the area but were stopped and annihilated by the Tau defenders.

Although these Tau refugees have not yet completely settled down in such a short time, and various industrial facilities have not been completed for various reasons, they can still cope with this attack with the combat uniforms and weapons left behind.

And just after that, a human figure with a hooded head appeared outside the Tau resettlement site.

"Once upon a time, you and the human empire soared in the endless universe. Now, you can only survive here like protected animals..."

Haroum led a few Tau soldiers to block the human, while the Tau people in the resettlement area contacted the Lizardmen who were their current protectors.

"Chaos." Haroum gritted his teeth and said, "Who is to blame for our fall to this point?"

"I have never separated your downfall from everything we have done, but have you ever thought that your current situation is entirely due to your being too weak and too proud?"

"In this universe, being weak is the original sin. The weak deserve to be exterminated and eaten up by others."

"With so little left and so few people, how long will it take you to take revenge on us?"

"I can tell you clearly that you will never have that chance~"

"Oh, don't worry, it's not time for me to kill you all yet, you still have some use~"

"In order to make what I have to do later not too boring, I should become a little stronger. That way it will be more interesting~"

“Although I think you may not have that opportunity~”

"Under the melon field and plum trees, intelligent creatures are so stupid~"

roar--!

A huge horned dragon fell from the sky, and the smoke and dust it stirred up when it landed obscured the vision of Harom and others. The nearby Lizardman patrol arrived.

But when the smoke and dust cleared, the human with the covered face had disappeared from the spot, leaving only the claw marks left on the ground when the ceratosaurus landed.

"It's the breath of Chaos..." The old lizardman riding on the dragon's back sniffed the remaining breath in the air and said, then looked at the Tau people in front of him. "What did it say to you?"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

subspace

"I actually don't like this place called the Soul Forge. Its internal structure, decoration and main color don't match my domain at all." The Changeling Tas said as he looked at the Soul Forge that was transferred to the Crystal Maze by the Changeling. "But never mind~"

"For future plans, the more cards in hand, the better~"

"My Lord, should we now..."

"Remove the seal? No rush." ​​Tas interrupted the Changeling. "The seal forged by the pile of bacon sitting on the toilet and the self-sacrificing bear is not so easy to break, and we don't have the ability to remove the seal at this stage..."

"Besides, even if there was, I wouldn't do it now."

"The subspace is much quieter now~ This is not only good for real creatures, but also an opportunity for us... For most ordinary people, that's the way they think~"

"Your conspiracy and vision are still so short-sighted~" Tas said, looking at the changeling in front of him. "Go and create chaos and change. After I leave..."

"Like I said, there are infinite worlds for us to explore, for us to cause unknown changes, why should we limit our vision to this small world of ours?"

. . . . . .

Moon World

"Ah~ Why are there no more large-scale receptions, and there are still so many books to sort out?"

Roland, who was once a well-known color finisher in the city - [Dark and Silent], is now holding a pile of books and walking towards the corresponding floor while complaining.

"I suddenly want to eat scallion pancakes. It's been a while since the last time that giant and his superior came here..."

“I always feel that the ones I make myself lack flavor.”

Just as Roland was complaining, Angela, the director of the library, appeared beside him and looked at him.

"I... didn't slack off, Director." Roland looked at Angela who suddenly appeared and stared at him, and said with a guilty conscience. "I... I admit that I got drunk with Netzach yesterday and skipped class, but it was Netzach who... "

Angela suddenly appeared and ignored Roland's excuses. Instead, she took out a book with a unique blue cover from the pile of books she was holding.

"Where did this book come from?"

"Ah?" Roland was a little confused by Angela's question. "How should I know? Shouldn't you be able to sense every book that enters the library?"

"I don't have this book..."

Suddenly, the blue-covered book in Angela's hand began to shake and emitted a light of the same color. This sudden change made her throw it away.

"What's going on?!"

"The library was invaded?"

"What? Could it be that the leader and his men are planning to wipe out the entire clan?!"

The book floated in the air and began to distort like a painting. A blue portal appeared inside the library.

Seeing this, Angela immediately summoned Binah and Gebura, the three strongest fighters in the library, to deal with the sudden change.

"Oh~ a world that is both familiar and strange." An exclamation came from the portal, and then a human-like creature holding a long staff walked out of it.

"I'm here to bring you a 'book', Director Angela."

486. Tzeentch in Action (Part )

Medieval World

The nearby Human Empire fleet has arrived near the medieval world protected by the Ancient Saints that was forcibly broken by Tzeentch, and has joined forces with the stationed human fleet and Lizardman fleet to form a line of defense.

Today, the Lizardmen have not yet completed the equipment update of their existing army, and a few years is not enough for them to build complete, high-tech defense facilities on the ground.

Therefore, after discussing with the reinforcements that had arrived, Master Kroka decided to keep the enemy out of the medieval world as much as possible to avoid a large-scale landing operation by the enemy.

Now, Master Kroka and several magic toad priests are expanding the influence of the Great Vortex, preventing to the greatest extent the possibility of any warp creatures coming to the real universe - even if they really come to the real universe, they will be severely weakened by the existence of the Great Vortex.

Now, all races in the medieval world have sent out their own troops to patrol various parts of the world. The dwarves are responsible for the mountains, the Cathars and ogres are responsible for their own territories and Changyuan, the tree people patrol their own forests, and the lizardmen need to patrol all areas that other races cannot take care of.

These troops will annihilate any Chaos streams they find, whether they are Warp Daemons that forcibly break through the blockade and become weakened, or Skaven and Norsemen who become insane because the power of Chaos has reappeared. As long as it is confirmed that he/she contains the power of Chaos, they will be destroyed.

The Empire's reinforcements also sent some troops to the ground to assist the Lizardmen in their operations, and these human troops were none other than the humans from the medieval world who had left earlier.

Setting foot on familiar land again made them feel deeply moved - everything was so familiar, yet different.

They had one more chance to fight for this land, one more chance to resist Chaos here, but before...

They need to deal with the Tau first.

. . . . . .

[瓜田李下] means "Don't put on your shoes in a melon field, and don't straighten your hat under a plum tree." It means don't do things that may cause misunderstanding in the wrong place.

As the Tzeentch army was approaching, the Lizardmen on patrol witnessed a conversation with a Chaos Being, and it just so happened that the Tau people, who were now refugees, were in a bad condition.

They did not bring complete industrial facilities with them when they fled, and many things had to be started from scratch. The Titanium people who suffered such a great disaster were unable to take many people with them, let alone scientific and technological talents.

Many equipment can only be repaired by relying on old equipment. Once some weapons are broken, they can only be dismantled or melted down as scrap metal. Their lifestyle can be said to have suddenly changed from the science fiction era to the Middle Ages.

Therefore, during this period, Harom, one of the current leaders of the Tau, repeatedly sought help from their current protectors, the Lizardmen, hoping that they could help the current Tau so that they could preserve their few technological creations and not lose everything.

The Lizardmen, whose mission is to protect and teach other young races, did provide some help to the Tau afterwards, but now that they are undergoing a large-scale transformation, they really cannot spare the extra productivity to help the Tau.

Moreover, all the current technology of the Lizardmen comes from the [Ancient Saints]. Judging from the previous performance of the Tau people, the Lizardmen will definitely not give them anything related to the [Ancient Saints].

The result was that after losing almost everything, the Titans could no longer keep even what they had in their hands, and some survivors complained about this.

Although Harom suppressed these discordant voices in time, the lizardmen still knew about it - they did not respond to it for the time being.

But now it is different, when people are desperate, that is when Chaos is most likely to take advantage: the hungry thugs at the bottom of the Nest City, the husband who has been working hard for the family all his life, the woman who is about to lose her job, these are all people who are easily attracted to Chaos.

Therefore, at this time, what the Titanium Clan said to the chaotic being is very important.

The former leader of the medieval human empire Karl Franz, the Queen of Kislev Katarin Borha, the representative of Cathay the Dragon, the representative of the dwarves [The Butcher King] Agrim Ironfist, and the lizardman magic toad priest Mazdamundi.

These people are gathered together now just to make sure that the Tau people who have come into contact with Chaos at this time are still safe.

"That's what it told us." Harom recounted his experience once again, and then waited for the judgment of the people in front of him.

"That's all those bastards said? Just to mock you and have pity on you?" [Butcher King] Agrim Ironfist obviously didn't believe what Haroum said. "Or did you reach some kind of agreement with Chaos, so they let you go?!"

"Tzeentch's way of doing things is always hard to figure out. All our actions and speculations may be part of its plan." Biaolong Miaoying said immediately. "Perhaps our suspicion of you is also part of its plan, but it is also possible that they will do the opposite..."

"We didn't..."

"It's hard to believe what you're saying now." Katarin Boha interrupted Haroum. "Although, I do think that you, who have lost everything to Chaos, will not go along with it."

"... just like Archaon back then." Karl Franz was silent for a while, then said, "That prophecy destroyed him, causing everyone to push him towards Chaos, making him the [Eternal Chosen]..."

"But there really is no way. The prophecy of chaos made it impossible for humans at that time to tell truth from falsehood, and they did not dare to take the huge risk of trying to believe him at that time."

"Although it would have been better if Sigma had shown up in time, but for you..."

In response to Haroum's words, the crowd was clearly divided into two camps, so everyone turned their attention to Master Mazdamuddi, who had not expressed his opinion.

"...what are you going to do, young race?"
