Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"Ahem~ Next time I'll have to get an instruction manual before trying to drive this thing..." said Zhang Yi as he walked down from the destroyed Banshee.

The Jackals, Boars, and Jiralhanae outside were looking in the direction of the destroyed Banshee. Some of them didn't understand what was happening. A team of Jackals deployed their shields and began to carefully approach the target location.

However, with the sound of a gunshot, a bullet exploded on his energy round shield, and the color of the shield instantly turned red, which was about to be overloaded. Then the second method attacked and overloaded it.

The precise and intensive vitality came from the fire and smoke, with great power, and it was not like any weapon they had seen before.

call out--!

A hot and thick beam of light came and instantly melted a werewolf and the energy shield on his arm. The appearance of this scene immediately caused the non-combatants to scatter.

In less than a minute, an entire team of Jackals turned into corpses on the ground. Other Covenant troops that arrived were also suppressed by this unknown force.

At this time, the suppressed Covenant soldiers finally saw the sudden appearance of the enemy. It was a humanoid giant wearing black and white power armor.

"You will pay for what you have done! Alien bastards!"

543. Your boat is great, it's mine now

The new Dreadnought, which was transformed by combining the mecha technology from the worlds of "Titanfall" and "Code Geass", used its abundant firepower to turn all the attacking Covenant enemies into mutilated corpses. The Blood Raven Elder Davin Soule, who was inside the Dreadnought, also made a long-lost sound of excitement.

[Come on! Aliens!] Davion Soule shouted. [You need to pay for what you have done!]

The latest transformation allowed the old man in the Dreadnaught to clearly feel everything he had felt as a Space Marine, while his pain was also reduced, which made him feel like he had returned to the past.

The two assault cannons on his shoulders kept firing, suppressing the Covenant soldiers in front of him with absolute firepower. At the same time, when heavy units like the Hunter or the Revenant appeared in his sight, the melta cannons on his arms would use powerful firepower to instantly overload its shield, melt its fragile armor, and completely destroy it.

Perhaps in some ways, the Covenant equipment, which is a complete imitation and reverse engineering of Forerunner technology, is superior to Warhammer's creations, which are seriously biased due to various factors.

But in terms of power, the weapons and equipment in the Warhammer world are definitely much stronger than those in the hands of the Covenant. The reasons have been mentioned many times. Just look at the monsters in the Warhammer world and you will know.

The Flood are scary and powerful, but most of them are just difficult to be completely eliminated, not immortal. In the Warhammer world, there are things that are ineffective against even by naval guns.

Soon, the Blood Raven Space Marines who came out of the portal completed the control of the take-off and landing platform. Then Zhang Yi expanded the scale of the portal, and more Space Marines and Krieg soldiers walked out of it.

"The Tech-Priests of the Mechanicus and the Tech-Sergeants of the Iron Hands should first control the systems here to prevent the Central Control from forcibly separating this place." Zhang Yi reminded. "Except for a few entrances and exits, all other entrances should be locked. Be careful of the elites (Sangheili) who may sneak in to steal people."

"Blood Ravens, don't rush around! Remember your mission. Imperial Fists, you'll have to wait for the position materials you want. They're still being transported there. Space Wolves and Black Templars, don't rush around either!"

"Wolf cubs, take control of the engine area to prevent the Long Night from forcing a jump. Take control of the Blood Raven's control room. Yes! We need to keep you away from the warehouse."

"Act now! The Covenant people should be able to react now!"

The Space Marines of the Space Wolves and Blood Ravens chapters took immediate action, while the Imperial Fists also began to build defensive positions. The Black Templars, which specialized in targeting aliens, temporarily stayed in place.

As for the Adeptus Mechanicus? They're the fastest.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The [Blood Crow] team, dressed in red and white, trotted towards the target location, and cleaned out the boar beasts, gnolls and other low-level Covenant soldiers they encountered.

"Speed ​​up!" Captain Gabriel Angelos, who led the team personally, shouted to Gabriel Angelos and his comrades behind him. "We must rush to the target area as quickly as possible and occupy it!"

At this time, two huge Covenant hunters stood in front of the team and began to charge the fuel cannons in their hands.

call out--!

A green energy sphere attacked them. As the leader of the tactical team, Takus immediately accelerated with his team members, came to the front of the doubling column, and raised his heavy ceramic steel shield mixed with refined gold.

Click--

boom!

The first burst of this powerful fuel overloaded the shield belt of one of the Tactical Marines, and the second burst exploded directly on his shield.

The heavy shield protected him, but a large part of the shield in his hand was melted and shattered. Seeing this, he immediately retreated. The other fighting brothers immediately moved, filled his position, and began to fire at the hunter in front of them.

It turned out that the heavy armor worn by these worm-like organisms had considerable defensive power and was still able to protect their bodies under the fire of several grenade launchers.

At this moment, Gabriel, who was behind Tarkus, jumped up, the thunder hammer in his hand flashed with lightning, and smashed hard at one of the hunters.

DUANG－－!

The Covenant hunter who could withstand several shots from a UNSC heavy sniper rifle was knocked down with just one heavy blow. Another hunter tried to fight back, but then a high-speed rotating chainsword pierced into its body from a weak point behind it.

The high-speed rotating chainsaw sword brought out a large amount of juice, and as it was pulled out violently, the hunter was also killed.

"I have to say, the phase shuttle device is really useful." The assault team leader Thaddeus said as he looked at the fallen hunter.

"Keep going soldiers! We have limited time!" (Gabriel)

． ． ． On the other side ． ． ．

Bang bang bang－－!

The sound of grenade launchers firing continued, completely overwhelming the Covenant side.

The short Gollums fled in panic, as they had never experienced a battle of this intensity (most Gollums can be compared to goblins, who are very brave when they have an advantage, but will run for their lives when they are at a disadvantage/there are exceptions). The Jackals holding energy shields did not dare to show their heads, as they already knew that the energy shields in their hands could not withstand the precise concentrated fire of the bolters for long.

The Jiralhanae, whose brains were not very good, had all turned into corpses on the ground. Whenever these tall alien creatures tried to come out from behind their cover, they would be fired upon by the Space Wolves' bolters or other weapons.

Hiding behind cover will not allow them to escape the fate of death. The Space Wolves Marines armed with power swords or chainswords will, under the cover of their brothers' fire, come to the Covenant soldiers at an extremely fast speed and reap their lives.

Ten minutes later, all the Covenant soldiers who tried to stop them were slaughtered, and only a distressed elite (Sangheili) was promoted.

bite--!

A transparent blade of light popped out from the generator in his hand, and then the elite spoke to the tall Space Marine in front of him in not very fluent human language.

"Glory... Duel..."

A Space Wolves Marine was about to open fire when his gun was held down by the leader, the Wolf Lord. He then picked up his power sword, walked up to the elite, and the two began to stare at each other.

roar--!

After a roar, the only remaining elite rushed towards the giant in front of him with a fear of death, and the next moment, he was grabbed by a giant metal hand and thrown heavily to the ground.

"The gods and truths you believe in are meaningless, you fools who have been deceived." The wolf lord said to the alien that was thrown to the ground. "Your existence and your actions have destroyed the good impression I have made on the alien with great difficulty!"

The other Space Wolves' Space Marines cheered for their Wolf Lord's victory, even though it was an easy win.

"Keep going, boys!" the wolf lord ordered. "We must complete our mission first!"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

What was originally an ordinary take-off and landing platform has now been turned into a fortress by the [Imperial Fist]. It has to be said that they are really good at this.

After completing the construction of positions in this area, Zhang Yi summoned more Space Marines and began to lead the Krieg Legion and other Astra Militarum forces to expand their control range.

Because of the two assault forces, very few Covenant soldiers launched an attack here. Most of them were sent to stop the two forces. This also made Zhang Yi and his team's subsequent actions relatively smooth.

The captain of the [Long Night] did not take the sudden appearance of Zhang Yi and others seriously, at least not for the time being. They believed that as long as they could intercept the two powerful assault forces, it would be only a matter of time before they could wipe out these unknown human forces with their numerical advantage.

Of course, they also noticed the troops spreading out from the occupied platform and made tactical deployments, preparing to encircle and suppress them after annihilating the two assault forces.

However, when they witnessed the defenses being quickly breached by the Black Templars and Krieg soldiers, they realized that these enemies were not the weak UNSC ground forces they had faced before.

They had seen tall and powerful Space Marines before, but they believed that such powerful warriors were only a very small minority among humans, just like those Spartan warriors.

But when they saw more Space Marines appear and lead the cloned Krieg soldiers to break through their defenses like a whirlwind, they finally realized that this enemy was not simple.

Moreover, because of the Black Templars' extreme hatred for the opposite sex that have ill intentions towards humans, all Covenant soldiers who encounter these black giants almost never have a good ending, which is a huge blow to the morale of the remaining Covenant soldiers.

When he realized this and was about to abandon the part of the ship occupied by the Human Empire, he suddenly discovered that the system of that part of the ship had slipped out of his control at some point, and this abnormality was spreading to the entire ship.

Another piece of bad news came at this inopportune time. The power room of the "Long Night" was occupied by a group of unknown enemy commandos. At the same time, another wave of enemies was rushing towards the main control room of the ship.

"Gather all nearby troops! Stop them! Don't let them get in here!" The captain of the Long Night shouted to his men. "I can't lose the flagship of the fleet before it arrives. The prophets will definitely blame me for this!"

It has to be said that in the Covenant system, there are still many Sangheili who have been brainwashed quite severely by the San'Shyuum, who are regarded as prophets. Even at this time, this elite captain is not worried about his own life, but worried about being punished by the so-called prophets because the "Long Night" was taken away.

A large number of Covenant troops began to gather at the wider entrance outside the main control room, attempting to intercept the attacking enemy with numbers and fortifications.

However, when the enemy really appeared before them, they saw a huge humanoid machine that had not been discovered before and killed a large number of people on the platform.

The Covenant soldiers armed with heavy weapons were the first to fire at the huge humanoid machine, but all the attacks were blocked by the opponent's energy shield, and then a metal storm hit.

boom!

Another [Revenant] was destroyed by the melta cannon. The firepower of only dozens of people suppressed at least hundreds of Covenant soldiers here.

The captain of the Long Night was aware of the grim situation of the defense line. He didn't understand how these powerful humans appeared, nor did he know why they were so powerful.

But he was clear about one thing, if he did not do something, then this CSO-class super aircraft carrier belonging to the Star Alliance would be transferred to another owner.

"I must do something... I... I cannot let this ship fall into the hands of heretics. I must destroy it..."

Biu－－

The very tiny sound of firing and the exploding head of the ship formed a sharp contrast. Almost at the same time, all the Covenant members in the entire control room were killed by the attack from unknown source.

The legendary scout Seris of the Blood Raven Regiment and his team members lifted their invisibility, appeared in the main control room, and began to report to Zhang Yi.

"This is Seres. We have reached the target area and are uploading images."

544.Contact

Most of the Covenant ships were manufactured based on reverse engineering of excavated Forerunner ships, and some were simply excavated Forerunner ships (the City of High Charity was powered by Forerunner ships).

The Covenant has an inexplicable obsession with everything about the Forerunners, just as many of them believe that as long as they can find the Halo and activate it, they can complete the ascension (which in a sense they can) and find the Forerunners.

Before the Forerunners were exterminated by themselves, their technological power was among the best in the entire galaxy, especially after they defeated and degenerated the ancient humans. Here they did not have the problem of intelligent machine rebellion (it is possible that there was one, but it was suppressed), so everything of the Forerunners was highly automated.

Not to mention the large number of Templar machines that will be seen later to maintain the Halo, even the "Long Night" that Zhang Yi and his team are currently occupying, which was built using reverse Forerunner technology, has an astonishing degree of automation.

The Covenant CSO-class supercarrier [The Long Night] is of the same size as the Human Empire [Glorious Queen-class] battleship, but it requires only about half the number of operators and permanent staff as the former, which means it can carry more soldiers and more vehicles.

With the energy shield and nano-armor, any small-scale damage can be automatically repaired. What this giant ship also has, which most Warhammer ships do not have, is the ability to accurately jump into the atmosphere of a planet, and can also return freely with the help of external forces.

Of course, in terms of firepower, the Covenant ships cannot compare to Warhammer. After all, there is nothing outrageous in their world (before fighting with humans, the Covenant had never encountered the Flood).

As Ceres sent the picture of the cockpit of the Long Night to Zhang Yi, a white portal opened soon after, and a large number of Astra Militarum and Space Marines filed out of it.

"You are all quite fast." Zhang Yi walked out of the portal and said, "Mechanicus people, stop messing around, get this ship into the air and into the planet's orbit."

"Let the other prepared Space Marines and Astra Militarum enter the battlefield. We need to clear out all the Covenant members in this ship and bring it completely under our control."

"Let the fleet be ready to enter the battlefield at any time, and let the diplomats be ready to contact the UNSC."

“There will be a tough battle ahead.”

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

After a strange pause, the huge "Long Night" began to rise towards the orbit of Reach.

The UNSC team nearby noticed this strange situation, but due to the presence of a large number of Covenant soldiers, they were unable to confirm what was happening.

The Long Night took off and arrived in orbit around Reach, and then other Covenant ships began to approach the giant ship to report their mission and wait for the next order.

The situation had been normal until then, and the UNSC high-ranking officials on Reach had already begun to speculate which area would receive the Covenant's "special attention" next, and were planning how to allocate ground forces and so on.

But then, the Long Night suddenly launched an attack on its own warships, and the light Covenant ships that were attacked obviously did not anticipate this either. They were destroyed or occupied without even an effective counterattack.

At this time, the top UNSC executives on Reach, who also witnessed this scene, received a communication from the Long Night.

[This is the First Expeditionary Force of the Human Empire. We have taken control of this Covenant CSO-class supercarrier]

[Stop all offensive actions of this ship. Any offensive actions will be regarded as a hostile signal.]

[In three hours, a meeting will begin on the [Long Night]. If you are willing, you can participate.]

The UNSC high-ups on Reach had never heard of the Human Empire, nor did they know that there was such an existence capable of occupying and controlling an entire Covenant's CSO-class supercarrier - if they had that kind of power, they wouldn't have been beaten from Harvest to Reach.

There is no doubt that the emergence of this third-party force has almost completely destroyed the Covenant fleet that has now arrived at Reach. This has given the troops on Reach a chance to catch their breath, and also given them time to rearrange their deployment, call in reinforcements, and fill in the gaps.

But this unknown third force brought more than just good things. Soon after receiving the communication they sent, the UNCS observation team that arrived at the location witnessed with their own eyes a giant ship of the same level as the "Long Night" slowly emerging from a white light curtain.

The report of this situation made the top leaders of Reach Star, who had originally breathed a sigh of relief, feel anxious again!

The news that came next shocked them even more.

There is more than one such giant ship!

． ． ． Three hours later ． ． ．

"One, two, three, four, five..." Catherine, the Noble 2 (B320) of the Noble team, said as she looked at the giant ship not far away. "Including the captured Covenant supercarrier, there are five in total. I don't know if there will be more..."

"I thought the Covenant was trouble enough."
