Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"I'm really sorry to make you unhappy. I will think of a title that is brief but can cover your great achievements later."

"Why don't you take it easy and tell me your name first."

"Yes, I am Ling Ao from the Second Company."

"Then Ling Ao, go see if there is anyone else who needs you?"

"Understood, Father... Boss."

After changing his words abruptly, the [Pathfinder] Space Marine who called himself Ling Ao led the team away. After that, Zhang Yi looked at O'Neill again.

"I now suspect that you added some Siegfried elements into it..."

"I do have this plan, but not for this issue," O'Neill responded. "And as you know, many heroes in that world are female, so I have to consider this impact."

"You are playing with real flowers..."

704. Mermaid's Foam

A hoverbike with the White Scars Corps logo stopped in front of a highly mutated corpse. A promethium flamethrower pistol sprayed out scorching flames to engulf the corpse, and soon the corpse was turned into charcoal.

"This is the rapid response team. We have successfully cleared the last enemy."

[Received, meet at the airport, ready to leave]

"Yes."

The White Scars Space Marine squad, led by their Primarch Jaghatai, cleared out the Chaos Cultists and other beings that appeared due to Nurgle's actions with almost no hindrance. This was also the guarantee that Zhang Yi and his men could safely deal with Nurgle's attack on the fortress planet of Aduk.

Now, Nurgle's attack has been repelled and the plague of the Eldar has been resolved. Jagatai and others who were responsible for dealing with various minor problems caused by Nurgle in this star sector have completed their mission.

Amid the thanks of the planetary governor and nobles, a group of White Scars Space Marines returned to their ship and reunited with the others and their Primarch.

"I have received news that Sanguinius and his men have successfully repelled the enemy's attack. This star region is safe." Chagatai said to his heir. "We have successfully completed our mission and ensured the safety of the rear during the enemy's attack."

“Well done, boys!”

While accomplishing this feat was not difficult given the strength and scale of the enemies they had encountered, most White Scars Space Marines took pride in the words of their Primarch.

On the other hand, this mission also allowed them to have a great time racing.

"But this is not the end." Chagatai's next words calmed down all the White Scars Space Marines present. "Now, there is another planet showing signs of being invaded by Chaos."

"Also, according to the intelligence we have, the influence of Chaos is already very deep. It is very likely that the entire planet's top leaders have been controlled."

"So, we have to be prepared for the entire planet to fall."

"Now, boys, let's go get ready for the next challenge!"

Planet Sindis

Two Raven Guard Space Marines came to the upper tower area and retrieved the log records of the recent period in the name of the Empire.

Because of the two recent banquets without restraint and bottom line, the upper district has mobilized a large amount of supplies, ranging from food, drinks to weapons, personnel and equipment.

What seemed a little strange to the two Space Marines was that they used a large amount of water.

Yes, it was just ordinary water, which caught their attention - what kind of banquet would use so much water? Have these nobles changed their nature? Instead of drinking wine, they are drinking water?

The person in charge's answer to this was 'swimming pool water'. He said there was a huge swimming pool in the upper area, and in order to ensure the cleanliness of the swimming pool water, the swimming pool water would be replaced every half a day.

This explanation seemed reasonable, but the two [Raven Guards] still felt something was wrong. However, considering the current situation, they did not say it directly.

Afterwards, they began another patrol of the upper spire area, but found nothing useful.

As they are about to end

During this patrol operation, the blocked upper area transfer station caught their attention.

"Great Imperial Angel, because an unknown enemy appeared and attacked here before, this place has been temporarily blocked until we completely eliminate the damage they caused."

"...We need to go in and take a look."

"Of course, with your help, we will definitely be able to complete the cleanup and repair here faster."

Amid the flattering words and expressions of the person in charge, two Raven Guard Space Marines walked into the transfer station that was said to have been destroyed and began what should have been the final exploration of this operation.

The bullet holes and laser gun burn marks on the ground are still very clear. The battle should have happened not long ago. Dried blood can be seen in some places... ?

"Someone has wiped this place." A Raven Guard Space Marine said. "They specifically cleaned up the blood in an area."

As they spoke, the two looked at a severely dented container, covered with bullet holes, scorch marks caused by laser guns, and holes caused by explosions.

"He should have died here, but there is not much blood or scattered body parts around."

"Could it be that they are just...cleaner?"

"Let's rebuild the scene first. Only then can we know the general situation here."

Although the site had been severely damaged, two experienced Raven Guard Space Marines still managed to restore the situation as best as possible.

Judging from the severely dented containers that have not yet been repaired, it can be inferred that there is at least one Space Marine here. The craters are distributed in one direction, which means that the person suspected to be a Space Marine may not have long-range weapons.

After killing several pursuers by relying on the terrain and physical advantages, he was forced into an open area by an explosion without any long-range weapons, and then the final fight began.

"A high-explosive armor-piercing shell hit him right in the chest, and the impact of the explosion blew him onto the container." A [Raven Guard] picked up the tiny ceramic steel fragments on the ground and said, "He didn't have time to dodge."

"It is estimated that there are at least 30 to 40 people chasing him, carrying targeted weapons and... fearless of death."

"Some kind of stimulant drug used by mortals?"

"Follow his movements and maybe we can find something."

The two began to follow the limited traces and walked deeper into the transfer station. Along the way, they could see the cleared traces and new traces. It was obvious that there were more than just them trying to find something before.

"It's a misleading." At a corner, two Raven Guard Space Marines who were good at hiding, reconnaissance and lurking suddenly stopped when they looked at the traces on the ground. "The real direction should be..."

The two of them turned at the same time into another inconspicuous road and came to an open container.

"Bloodstains, Space Marine's." The detection device in the helmet marked several ground blocks. "He rested here."

"The one who found the injection syringe of the [Regeneration Ampoule] was from [Alpha]."

"...They must have found some important evidence or intelligence, which is why they are being hunted down."

The two quickly found what the Alpha had hidden in a corner of the container - a metal box containing a recording device and a bottle of water.

"Now we know what the water is used for." The dreamy liquid with a little foam flowed in the bottle, and the two [Raven Guard] Space Marines could clearly feel the chaotic power in it. "We need to notify the other brothers immediately."

But at this time, the auspicious instrument sounded an alarm, and a lot of human life signs suddenly appeared near them.

"It seems that they don't plan to continue pretending."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

What blessings does Slaanesh usually bestow upon his followers?

A beautiful face? A different aesthetic? A strong body? Or an amazing penis? Of course, it is possible that all of these blessings can be given to you at the same time.

But after the initial excitement and happiness, these blessed people will face emptiness, because Slaanesh is an existence that does not listen to the pursuit of excitement. The same enjoyment will make people feel boring the second time. This feeling makes the believers of Slaanesh constantly pursue new excitement until self-destruction.

Ella knew this. Having once been favored by Slaanesh, she understood Slaanesh's nature very well and also knew the consequences of believing in Slaanesh.

Relying on her appearance and means, Ella successfully entered the blocked upper area with the help of Archaon's men, and relied on her beauty to enter the mansion of a noble who was suspected to have come into contact with the power of Chaos.

And just as Ella felt, this noble was a participant in the previous carnival, and after breaking his neck, she found a bottle of liquid with obvious Slaanesh power in the imperial noble's home.

The base liquid was just ordinary water, but after being touched by the merman-like Chosen One of Slaanesh, it became an addictive substance that would allow people to see incredible dreamlike scenes after drinking it.

This existence directly increased the drinking water fee on the planet, and the sewage pipes into which this water was poured became a battleground for lower-level gangs. This thing spread across the entire planet like a plague, affecting everyone.

For some reason, Ella suddenly

She began to worry about the old woman living at the bottom of the society. Based on the information she found, she could infer that this thing would soon appear in every place on the planet.

Then, she thought of Zhang Yi, the man who was said to have changed the empire, made many people live a good life, and made people feel hopeful - if he knew about this, he should be able to solve this problem, right?

As agreed with Archaon, she set the house on fire to distract the defenders and allow his troops to achieve their goals, and she herself left the place unnoticed after the riot.

. . . . . .

The nobles' servants lay around a huge swimming pool, living a life of drunkenness.

After dozens of seconds, these humans lying on the ground and mumbling in their dreams turned into foam and dissipated.

After they disappeared, a timid head emerged from the huge swimming pool. The mermaid was holding the edge of the pool and looking around carefully.

"Sister, when can I meet the 'prince'?"

[It will be soon, my lovely sister~ Soon, we will be able to see him~]

"Will he like us?"

[Of course~ We are so perfect and 'delicious'~ He will definitely fall in love with us~]

[This is what the Dark Prince promised~]

705. Actions of all parties

Planet Sindis

The Raven Guard Space Marines who arrived here knew that there was a problem here, and that sooner or later they would have to fall out with the bewitched Imperial nobles here, but they did not expect it to happen so soon.

Although they were well prepared, they were still caught off guard by the sudden attack at the beginning, but there were no casualties.

The two Space Marines who entered the upper spire area quickly broke through the enemy's encirclement, contacted the other three brothers, and reported the news that the Alpha Space Marines had been wiped out.

Although they accidentally exposed the enemy in advance, the Raven Guards were unable to identify how many troops had not been affected by the local chaos, which also affected their subsequent actions.

Some officers who had contact with this [Raven Guard] team felt something was wrong as soon as they received the order that they (Space Marines) were traitors and were required to kill them immediately on sight. After all, in their opinion, the [Raven Guard] did not look like the Fallen, but rather those nobles who had been behaving abnormally recently made them feel something was wrong.

But they could not be sure that there were corrupted people whose inner qualities were completely opposite to their appearance, so most officers did not rush to take sides, but gathered their troops and consolidated the defense of their positions until they were sure who the enemy was and which side they wanted to choose.

There is nothing wrong with this choice, it is very stable - if that mermaid lady didn't exist.

She once turned an entire planet rich in liquid water into a planet-level drug, forcing the people of the Inquisition to implement an extermination order.

Although the planet doesn't have that much water now, what would happen if it were put into the main water supply system of the human cities on this planet?

By then, everyone on the planet will become her slaves.

For this reason, the Raven Guard Space Marines, who had confirmed the intelligence, immediately abandoned the defense line they had originally built and rushed towards the planet's main water supply system. Shortly after they left with their few mortal troops, Archaon led his team to break through here and headed towards the upper city.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Another noble mansion was set on fire, and Slaanesh followers with bulging eyes were spreading the blessing of their gods. Chaos was spreading in the upper city, which was supposed to be extremely safe.

Perhaps it was because of Ella's previous actions that these hidden Slaanesh believers misunderstood something, or it was also possible that these believers could no longer tolerate it. After Ella caused a small-scale chaos, these people came out all at once and started their carnival.

Several areas of the entire Upper City have fallen, and the followers of Slaanesh are letting out their emotions to their heart's content, turning the entire city into their canvas.

Part of the PDF stationed in the upper city also defected and joined the carnival of Slaanesh, while the remaining part, under the orders of their superiors, stationed in several key nodes and did not dare to attack rashly.

The reason they behaved like this was that the enemy's composition was very strange. Many of them had originally vowed to be loyal to the Empire and fight to the last moment, but suddenly changed their minds after a certain moment and became as crazy as those Chaos believers who were painting with human skin.

This was very strange, and there was no sign. Suddenly, the originally loyal imperial soldiers turned into chaos, as if they were infected by an invisible plague.

It was also because of this that those PDFs that were still normal chose to defend. While ensuring that the important areas they were responsible for were not occupied by the enemy, they also tried to figure out what was going on. Otherwise, the situation they knew might happen, and the entire army would suddenly turn against them.

The reason why those non-commissioned officers and soldiers suddenly turned against her was actually very simple. In the food and water they usually ate and drank, they poured the water that had been touched by the mermaid into the food or gave it directly to mortals to drink. They would be captured by the dreamy illusions and feelings afterwards and become her most loyal servants, clearing all enemies on her road for her before they turned into foam due to excessive use.

But these

But most people don't know this. Some officers only know that in the recent carnivals of the nobles, they were drinking a drink with a dreamy appearance, but they didn't know what it was - and that's why no one would have thought that it was actually water.

After a certain amount of treatment, Purella's bath water actually looks similar to ordinary water. If there is a difference, shaking the water vigorously will produce more bubbles, and if you look closely, you will find that the bubbles are glowing - but who would shake the bottle vigorously before drinking water? Not to mention that some contaminated water is added to food.

The arrival and actions of [Alpha] and [Raven Guard] made Purrella start the action ahead of schedule. The original plan was to pollute all water sources and food before taking action, but now it is not much different. The amount spread now is enough to cause chaos. Those people will never know whether their next bite of food will change their cognition and pursuit.

At this time, our mermaid lady, Purilla, who is the culprit, and her servants have turned into [Holy Son Guard] demons with some fish characteristics (refer to fishmen or Naga). As soon as these demons with proud figures and beautiful looks appeared, they slaughtered all the people in Purilla's mansion, and turned them into delicacies in their mouths while those people were still trapped in hallucinations.

It is worth mentioning that all the demons under Purrella have obvious scars on their bodies or faces, just like a cut on a beautiful painting. Although these scars cannot cover their beauty, most of them are still beautiful enough to make ordinary people fascinated.

Afterwards, a group of mortal servants immersed in hallucinations carried the circular fish tank where Purella was and walked towards the next planned location - the water treatment plant.

In the fairy tale, the little beauty turned into foam under the sun, but here, it will be other people who will turn into foam.

. . . . . .

The PDF soldiers, who were immersed in hallucinations, fell to the ground with blood spurting from their necks, but there was no trace of pain on their faces. The beautiful illusion given to them by Purella made them feel no pain at all.

Ella looked at the soldier who had his eyes open and a look of enjoyment on his face, and for some reason she felt a little disgusted.

She walked around the bodies lying on the ground and operated the communication backpack carried by one of them, tuning its frequency to the one Archaon told her.

"I have created the chaos you need." Ella said. "This should be enough for you..."
