Warhammer 40 A New Hope

Up to now, Grimgor Ironhide and Bonebreaker Saraka are no longer in this star region, and the orcs in it have lost their order and started to split and fight each other (that is, the largest orc is gone, and the remaining orcs are unwilling to submit to each other).

This means that the actions of the Human Empire can be declared successful, and all that remains next is to slowly eliminate those orcs who are no longer united.

The orcs are each fighting in their own camps, and their combat effectiveness and threat are greatly reduced. If nothing unexpected happens, it is only a matter of time to deal with the orcs in this area - unless a War Boss appears who can unify a large number of orcs.

In order to speed up the process of clearing out the orcs in this area, the Necromancer and Eldar troops did not leave, but worked with humans to clear out the orcs in this area to prevent any accidents.

On the other side, Zhang Yi was brought back to Macragge, to the flagpole seat.

"I told you this has nothing to do with me!" Zhang Yi twisted on the flagpole like a maggot and shouted. "That love-brained goddess wants to throw herself at me, what can I do?!"

"Don't shout, I'm here too..." Guilliman said as he was reviewing documents nearby. "Except for the strong wind, there's nothing wrong with this place."

"You are sitting, and I am tied to it!"

"How about you edit the document?"

"I'd better hang on there." Zhang Yi stopped struggling. "How long should I hang on there this time?"

"It will take about a month to deal with various incidents, replenish the troops, and plan to determine the next location."

"...We're going to hang on this for a month?"

"It's you who will be hung for a month."

"I protest!"

"Someone will bring you food."

～～～～～～～One month later～～～～～～

It is said that when Guilliman was still in his dormant state, the Ultramarines would organize some wealthy and loyal humans to visit Macragge. One of the activities was to pay homage to the place where Guilliman was sleeping at the time - pointing to a large complex of buildings and saying that our great Primarch was sleeping here.

If someone asked where Regent Guilliman was at this time, the accompanying Ultramarines would kindly invite him to have tea - because they suspect that you might be a traitor or a spy, or someone else with ulterior motives.

After Guilliman woke up, this project was abandoned. After all, the Regent was too busy every day to have time to take pictures with others.

And now, this 'project' has a new object.

"Uh~~" Zhang Yi hung on the top of the flagpole with a pale face, feeling hopeless. "I was actually hung there for a month..."

Finally, Zhang Yi looked to his side and saw Fal, who was trapped in a cage and hanging on the wall.

"I was caught flirting with Commander White by the Emperor..."

(Turning his head to look at Sabeth who was hanging on the other side)

"I was caught stealing the Space Wolves' wolf by the Wolf King..."

(Looking at Kerr who is hanging below)

"... said I didn't manage them well and asked me to be punished..."

"...Can this pole hold up..."

As the star of Macragge rises, a new day begins.

"We're going to be let go today, right?"

"Probably." Kerr replied. "Then, Boss, you have to prepare to participate in the subsequent large-scale exploration operations."

"...I suddenly thought it would be nice to hang it here..."

"You just don't want to go to work, right?" O'Neill's voice came. "Your arm should have calmed down by now, as it was agitated by absorbing too much subspace energy at once. Your 'vacation' is over now."

"You call hanging here a 'vacation'? You asked me to open two pairs of portals to help with transportation! (One pair is used to confirm the location, and the other pair is used to open the portal at the corresponding location)"

"That's a training for you. You still don't have a good grasp of your abilities." O'Neill responded. "Don't forget what the Ancient One said to you."

"This is the first time I hear you use Master Ancient One to lecture me."

At this time, O'Neill cut the rope that tied Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi, who was falling freely, rolled in the air and landed steadily on the ground.

"Honestly, do you really think the current empire can withstand that level of battle?"

"We can't stay calm forever. It's only a matter of time before we face challenges," O'Neill replied. "We also need to become stronger to face future enemies."

"Besides, I don't think we will lose to a group of alien idiots who only know how to dig up other people's relics and have almost no innovation and don't know much about themselves."

"...Are you sure there is no personal grudge involved?"

"no!"

Zhang Yi and O'Neal gradually walked away, while Kerr and others who were still hanging on it watched them go further and further away.

"Have they forgotten about us?"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Near Macragge

A brand new [Infinite Hope Class] battleship is docked here. It is a new super battleship developed by the Human Empire and is comparable to the [Glorious Queen Class] battleship.

The various new technologies brought by Zhang Yi and the various lost technologies that were recovered allowed the Mechanicus to start trying to build this super-large battleship again, and they were successful.

However, due to the application of various new technologies, experiments with lost technologies, and Zhang Yi's personal requirements, this ship is different from conventional human empire battleships. It has more gun positions and a larger interior space than it looks. In addition, it is more like a spaceship than a flying church (members of the state religion shouted disloyalty).

Surrounding this ship are several ships with the Pathfinders logo, including the Unknown Hope.

In addition to a large number of naval vessels, there are also battle barges from several different Space Marine chapters nearby.

[Blood Angels], [Ultramarines], [Space Wolves]

[Blood Raven], [Silver Sanctum], [Son of Medusa]

Unlike the last time where the army and Space Marines were scattered to two different worlds to fight and conquer, this time many different Space Marine chapters will fight together in the next new alien world.

Although it is still far inferior to the Great Crusade 10,000 years ago when all 20 Primarchs were present and the Emperor was still walking the mortal world, we can already get a glimpse of the former glory of the Human Empire from here.

The gathering of an army of this magnitude makes one wonder which unlucky enemy in which unlucky world would be targeted in such a manner by a fleet of the human empire.

But no matter what, it is foreseeable that a fierce battle is about to begin.

542. What is the situation of the battle on Reach?

Halo

The name of this game is taken from a super-large device in this world - the Halo Array.

This gigantic super weapon, with a power that can cover the entire galaxy (according to data, the affected area is three times the radius of the Milky Way), was originally built to end the battle between the Forerunners and the Flood.

In this world, there is a super race called Pioneers, who created the first (ancient) humans in this world and the forerunners who have been pursued.

However, this powerful race was eventually driven out by their own creations, and the Forerunners drove the Forerunners out of the galaxy.

The Pioneers were extremely angry about this (there is a saying that the Forerunners were the failures in the hands of the Pioneers, and the Ancient Humans were the successful race chosen to inherit the Pioneers' legacy, so they were angry), so they implemented a plan that had been shelved for a long time - using the DNA of at least 12 unknown creatures (including a Pioneer), they created a horrible Zerg creature - the Flood.

These parasitic creatures, named for their terrifying ability to reproduce and spread (Hong means like a flood), are able to parasitize and control almost anything (including machinery and ships).

If the Flood evolves into its final state - the Corpse-Mind Beast, then the number of Flood groups controlled by it will increase rapidly. At the same time, Flood groups in different areas will begin to help and cooperate with each other because of the appearance of the Corpse-Mind Beast.

In addition to controlling and directing the actions of the Flood group, the Corpse-Mind Beasts will also absorb and master the memories and wisdom of the intelligent life forms they devour - everything will be controlled and utilized by the Flood.

The Pioneers created and released this horrific creature, on the one hand, to avenge the Forerunner race that drove them out of the galaxy, and on the other hand to re-evaluate their biological evolution experiments and test whether the ancient humans they chose as their successors really had the ability to inherit everything from them (personally, I think they were just narrow-minded and wanted revenge).

The Forerunners had fought with this horrific parasitic creature for many years but still failed to destroy it. Instead, they lost many planets. After vitrifying countless planets, the Forerunners realized that this horrific creature could not be destroyed by conventional means, so they created the [Halo Array], trying to eliminate the Flood in another way - by destroying the Flood's food and starving them to death.

(However, ironically, by this time, the Ancients had become immune to the Flood's infection and parasitism to a certain extent through adjusting their own genes. The fundamental reason was that after observing the battle between the Ancients and the Flood, the Forerunners determined that the Ancients were already capable of inheriting their legacy, and ordered the Flood to stop infecting the Ancients and let the Flood turn to the task of revenge against the Forerunners. Before the Halo was activated, the Forerunners defeated the Ancients and then forcibly degenerated them.)

The power of the Halo Array is enormous. When it was activated, all sentient life in the galaxy was destroyed, including a considerable portion of the Flood forces and the surviving Forerunners (there is also a self-aware entity known as the 'Noetic Domain', which is said to have 100 billion years of data stored).

After that, various biological samples that had been preserved in advance were released from the protective facilities prepared in advance by the forerunners, and a new era began.

Many years later, when the first Forerunner ruins were excavated by the San'Shyuum, a war over these relics broke out again.

Just like the Forerunner War between ancient humans that lasted for at least 1,000 years.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

星盟

This is an organization with a strong religious nature, first established by the San'Shyuum and the Sangheili.

The Sangheili and San'Shyuum were enemies of each other because of the Forerunners and the Silence, and formed an alliance because of them, and thus began their pilgrimage (so they say).

During an excavation of Forerunner ruins, the Covenant encountered humans who had just begun space colonization. What was dramatic was that in the ruins, the San'Shyum, as the leader, activated the AI ​​on the Forerunner's dreadnought - the Monk of Prejudice, and learned that humans (should be ancient humans/this is equivalent to the remedy after realizing that they were wrong after extinction) were the "returners" mentioned by the extinct Forerunners, and everything of the Forerunners would belong to them (while also denying the Covenant's pilgrimage).

The shocked Sangheili bishops hurriedly shut down the shipboard AI and concealed the information (because once it was announced, the disintegration of the Covenant would be certain, and their dominance would end). Then, with extremely flimsy reasons, they ordered the extermination of the human race (while also secretly separating the Sangheili from the Covenant's ruling and military levels).

This directly led to the tragedy of Harvest, which was also the first contact between humans and the Covenant.

And 27 years later, the Covenant found Reach, humanity's most important strategic colony, arsenal, and combat fortress, and started the most brutal battle there.

2552 December 8

The UNSC forces failed to discover and destroy the spiral tower that served as the transmission coordinates for the Covenant supercarrier in time, which led to the Covenant supercarrier [The Long Night] successfully teleporting to Reach and destroying the UNSC frigate Grafton in one blow.

Afterwards, the Covenant supercarrier that appeared began to suppress the area. A large number of Covenant ground forces landed, and the main fleet of the Covenant also began to move towards the planet.

The Spartan nobles on board the Pelican witnessed the human frigate Grafton destroying the spiral tower of unknown purpose that had been protected by the Covenant ground forces. Then, a thick beam of light descended from the sky and destroyed the human ship.

When they looked up, a huge stargate ship, far beyond their imagination, appeared in the atmosphere of the planet, and the light from the bottom muzzle that released the beam was slowly dissipating.

“Oh my god…”

The Covenant supercarrier "The Long Night" was teleported directly into the atmosphere of Reach, covering the sky like the god of death, destroying any small human spaceships within the detection range.

"Is this just in time for the cutscene?" Zhang Yi, who had just walked out of the portal, looked at the Long Night shooting downwards and said, "Let me check the data... The largest Covenant ship that appeared at this time should be... the Long Night..."

"Hey, this thing is about the same size as the [Glorious Queen Class]~"

"(sticks his head through the portal) Hey guys, there's a big ship here, who want to try their hand at it?"

"That... Gabriel from Blood Raven, if you can hand over everything inside this ship after you capture it, you will be allowed to participate in this mission. If not, forget it."

"You sign a document!"

. . . . . .

Just like a giant dragon inspecting its territory from the air, the Covenant supercarrier [The Long Night], which had absolute firepower suppression and size suppression, completely dominated the airspace as soon as it appeared and suppressed the surrounding human ground forces.

This huge super aircraft carrier was moving slowly forward, and it did not notice that a human was slowly rising into the air and coming near it.

Passing through the energy shield of this super aircraft carrier, Zhang Yi came to the possible release position of the carrier-based aircraft.

"There is no subspace in this world. It's a bit difficult for me to fly with the liquid subspace energy I brought." Zhang Yi activated the magnetic shoes and let himself stick to the smooth surface of the ship. "The Banshee, the Wraith, and the Phantom all entered and exited from this area. Let me take a look."

After activating the optical invisibility, Zhang

Yi began to move step by step towards the possible entrance and exit for carrier-based aircraft, and after a few minutes, he saw the entrance and exit protected by the light curtain.

"This is science fiction." Zhang Yi, hanging upside down on the ship's armor plate, looked at the various carrier-based aircraft that were full of science fiction and futuristic feeling, and muttered. "The Warhammer is really a flying cathedral..."

At this time, a small fighter jet named Banshee happened to fly past Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi chose the right time and jumped down, landing on the fighter jet.

The Banshee, which could just accommodate one person, began to shake immediately because of Zhang Yi's arrival. Then Zhang Yi opened its fragile doors and threw out the confused alien driver inside.

(William screams)

The screams of an unlucky guy who was thrown down were not enough to attract the attention of other Covenant carrier-based aircraft around, and Zhang Yi looked at the operating panel in front of him and fell into deep thought.

"How do you open this thing?"

So in this situation, the pilots of the surrounding Covenant carrier-based aircraft could see that the Banshee, which was twisting in the air as if it was drunk, stopped in the air and was no longer moving after diving to the ground, climbing, and spinning on the spot.

This strange scene attracted the attention of some nearby Covenant carrier-based aircraft. When they tried to call the pilot of the strange Banshee, they found that it suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the exit of the carrier-based aircraft.

Whoosh—boom!

The sudden rush of the Banshee caught the working and maintenance personnel of the ship by surprise. The Banshee continued to fly all the way without slowing down, and finally crashed into the wall of the take-off deck.
