Warhammer 40 A New Hope

After the video was finished, Zhang Yi looked at the ten Space Marines from the Ultramarines Chapter who were watching.

Yes, ten.

It is said that when the Custodians arrived at Macragge, the home planet of the Ultramarines, carrying the Emperor's orders, almost all Space Marines who met the requirements wanted to carry out this extremely dangerous but glorious mission.

In fact, the First Dalian and the Second Dalian almost came to blows over this matter.

If the current Chapter Master, Marneus Calgar, had not arrived in time and put forward a suggestion that convinced everyone, it is estimated that a real fight would have broken out...

He proposed that the first and second companies send five Terminators to Zhang Yi respectively, and after understanding the specific tasks, select the five most suitable people to complete the task.

"The most crucial point of this mission is that once the members carrying out the mission step into the [Super Dimension Maze] where the target artifact is stored, it is equivalent to stepping into a trap..."

"You will see shadows of the past and the future, others' or your own, and fall into a cycle..."

"This [hyperdimensional maze] has no exit, unless someone outside lets you out, or uses my ability to open a door to the outside..."

"And if our actions are discovered by the owner of that place, [The Endless Trazyn]..."

"Then the team carrying out this mission is doomed." Looking at the ten giants in front of him, Zhang Yi said. "You still have a chance to quit..."

But no one spoke.

"When does it start?" asked a Space Marine from the Extremes.

"...I asked a stupid question." Zhang Yi said. He should know that it is impossible for people here to leave without doing anything. "So, are you all ready to step into 'hell'?"

"Before, the reconnaissance team sent by the Empire has confirmed that there is indeed such a place, and there is indeed a small group of Dark Eldar pirates and Chaos fleets nearby. The existence of the artifact has also been confirmed."

"In addition, before the mission officially begins, I will train you based on the information I have, and prepare as many response equipment as possible for you..."

"It will take some time before you can officially start training. During this time, you need to watch this reference video repeatedly to get as much useful information as possible..."

"I will join after I finish my work," Zhang Yi said. "I will do my best to ensure that all members of the team carrying out this mission return alive."

Ａ市

Once again, Zhang Yi and a group of officials sent by the empire sat together with the indigenous leaders.

Zhang Yi and others who arrived with a large number of troops and ships put tremendous pressure on the natives, especially Kohl's [Iron Ghost] mechanical ark - they originally thought that the [Unknown Hope] was big enough.

Fortunately, Zhang Yi and his team did not show any aggressive behavior, nor did they say they would tear up the previous verbal agreement during the initial conversation.

Just like Zhang Yi said before, they are all human beings, so they will not be enslaved like the elders did.

However, this may not be the case for aliens...

"All ordinary humans on this planet who have not participated in the Elders' plan will have normal Citizenship and enjoy all the basic rights they should have..."

"And those who chose to participate in the Elders' plan to harm humanity during their rule will be put to death or transformed into mechanical servants as slaves after a simple trial..."

"All the mutants who have been transformed and controlled by aliens can enjoy the same rights as ordinary humans if they are willing to join the existing government. However, if they want to participate in elections and other activities, they need to make additional reports in advance..."

"All unwilling [mutants] will be treated as 'harmful aliens' and eliminated..."

"All aliens with a certain degree of intelligence and civilization (grays, mutants, serpent monsters, etc.) who have attacked and harmed humans are [second-class citizens] and do not have the right to vote. They need to be implanted with a locator after birth and must serve for at least ten years after adulthood. They can only stay and live in the [alien planning area] planned by Terra/Earth. If they want to go out, they must report it several months in advance..."

"Half of their home planet will be given to humans as war compensation. We will help them build and develop. But aliens are only allowed to move around in their half of the planet. If they want to go to the human half of the planet, they need to report in advance..."

"Some special aliens also need to abide by some additional regulations... (for example: all grays must carry psychic controllers)"

"All aliens who have attacked and harmed humans and have only a certain degree of self-awareness and can be classified as [alien animals] (berserkers, shapeshifters) are [slaves]. Humans will provide them with shelter and food, but they must serve for life, and all their activities are monitored and controlled..."

"For alien creatures such as [Parasitic Beasts] and [Gatekeepers], we will exterminate them..."

boom!

Yang Green, one of the mutant representatives, slammed his fist on the conference table, and the Astra Militarum soldiers beside him immediately pointed their guns at him.

"You are just like the elders, you want to control and enslave us!" Green said. "Our people will never..."

"You'd better think it over before you speak." Zhang Yi interrupted the angry mutant. "Based on their previous practices, the result of your refusal will be the direct extinction of your race and your home planet."

"This is the result of my hard work and repeated persuasion."

"Try your best?! We..."

"You are harming humans under the coercion of the elders? But I haven't seen many mutants choose to help humans after trying their best to break free from the control of the elders?"

"Most of you have chosen to muddle through, or simply hide away."

As he spoke, Zhang Yi patted his head, signaling the fragments in his body to react.

Then, light overflowed from his eyes, and a huge spiritual power far exceeding that of the Elders was released, causing the alien representative in front of Zhang Yi to tremble.

"You have killed humans. Even if you were forced to do so, this is a fact." The two voices intertwined and echoed in the conference room. "You must pay the price!"

"You can refuse my mercy, but by then, you, your people, and your home planet will all be reduced to ashes."

"I do what I say!"

The light faded, and the mutant Green collapsed in his chair, and the representative of his race said nothing.

"I have fought for certain rights for you." Zhang Yi said, looking at Dick, the mutant who once fought with the Space Marine Harald. "You alien soldiers who once fought with the elders for the liberation of mankind will enjoy normal citizenship rights, but only you."

"...Thank you..." Dick responded, with no trace of joy on his face.

Only sadness and loneliness...

Others are the butchers and I am the meat

Now no force can compete with Zhang Yi's troops. The only result of resisting them is destruction.

They are not the elders who need humans for experiments. If the ground forces really cannot handle it, they will directly carry out orbital bombardment to destroy all resistance forces and everything nearby.

Everyone present remembered clearly the destructive beam that fell from the sky, not to mention that the fleet above the planet had now become even larger.

"There's no need to be too pessimistic." Zhang Yi looked at him. "I have secured a review for you every hundred years."

"Every hundred years, as long as your race can make a great enough contribution, you will have the opportunity to promote the rights of the entire race to ordinary citizens and enjoy all the rights and interests that ordinary humans have."

"Although the hope is slim, it's not without chance." Zhang Yi said while looking at Dick and Green. "I tried my best."

After saying this, Zhang Yi looked at Wu Ke, the military officer and the commander.

"The next question is yours, the only remaining elder." Zhang Yi said. "Although you have helped humans a lot and resolutely assisted humans in dealing with your compatriots, but..."

"Based on the abilities you have demonstrated and the troubles (here referring to the devil) you have caused, we cannot and will not continue to ignore you."

"You will be taken out of this human body, imprisoned and monitored..."

"Some of your demands will be met, but you will never be able to leave the cage and surveillance we have built for you for the rest of your life."

"This is your sentence."

The conference room fell silent again, and no one spoke.

"...Accepted." The commander said. "It said that he accepted the verdict."

"I'm sorry." Zhang Yi said. "There's not much I can do for you."

"Finally, it's you guys." Zhang Yi looked at Wu Ke and the rebel leader. "There are many and long proposals for your discussion, but they are all necessary."

"I'll just start quickly. I want to go back to bed."

69. Training in Progress (Part )

A few days later, Zhang Yi finally concluded a series of exchanges with the indigenous leaders of the XCOM world... or rather, a declaration.

After all, the ships and soldiers that Zhang Yi brought back were beyond the ability of the XCOM world to cope with at this stage, and now a large number of facilities and personnel on the entire planet were built and brought by Zhang Yi and his team.

Although Zhang Yi gave them the opportunity to state their demands and repeatedly said that as long as they were not excessive, some demands could still be negotiated.

But... when a multi-kilometer, fully armed space battleship is suspended in orbit, can you really make bold suggestions? Not to mention that these so-called current human leaders have not been in office for long.

Therefore, Zhang Yi could only ask one by one and analyze and inquire one by one - he didn't want this place to become the second Warhammer 40K world.

After spending several days, the matter finally came to an end.

Finally I can do my job

. . . . . .

"No! Absolutely not!"

"You are blaspheming the Great Om Messiah!"

"What? Messiah, do you know how much unnecessary pressure and consumption this will add to the machine?"

"It is necessary! We must! All for the sake of Om Messiah!"

Shen Lili was arguing with a group of members of the Mechanicus, while Zhang Yi was watching them with a group of Space Marines from the Ultramarines Chapter.

Apparently, Shen Lili and some members of the Adeptus Mechanicus had been arguing over whether or not to add some devices that would make the machine look sacred or that would please the machine spirit.

"So, can the machine be used?" Zhang Yi looked at the members of the Mechanicus who were not participating in the fight and planned to ignore the matter as long as they did not fight.

"Although there are still some problems, it is now usable," the man responded.

"Okay." Zhang Yi then looked at the Space Marines behind him. "Everyone, please enter."

In order for the following mission to proceed smoothly and for Zhang Yi to fulfill his promise of "bringing all team members back alive", he asked Shen Lili and the Mechanicus and others to build a super-large virtual battlefield to restore the possible enemies and problems as much as possible to increase the probability of success of the operation.

When the soldiers of the First Company of [Ultramarines] entered the virtual battlefield with their equipment and instruments and began the simulation, they soon encountered the first problem they would encounter in that [hyperdimensional maze].

Because in that space, time and space are disordered, they may encounter the same enemy from different timelines.

When the transparent Dark Eldar soldiers appeared in front of the squad, the entire Terminator squad opened fire immediately. The bullets fired from the storm bolters and assault cannons formed a big web of death.

But those enemies simply passed through the Dark Eldar soldiers and flew further away.

"Have they... forgotten what this situation is all about?"

These transparent enemies are temporarily in another timeline. At this stage, because they are in another timeline, ordinary attacks are completely ineffective.

This scene has been shown in the previous case video. The Chaos Terminators who were tricked here have proven that normal attacks are ineffective when they are in a transparent state.

"Space Marines can also slack off and make mistakes." Zhang Yi said, looking at

Miller, the Terminator Captain of the Second Company.

"It's not that they forgot, but they failed to suppress their military qualities and opened fire at the first opportunity," Miller said. "We will not make such a mistake."

As he said, the Terminator Squad of the first company quickly stopped firing and waited for the enemy in front of them to withdraw from the transparent state.

However, the enemy before them did not change from transparent to solid and attack them as they had seen in the video before, but faded away little by little.

"Die! Slaves of the false emperor!"

"!"

Bang bang bang!

The sound of heavy lumberjack rifles came from the other side, and bullets as thick as a Space Marine's fingers came towards them.

The shields of the Terminator armor blocked a large number of bullets, but a few bullets still hit their heavy armor.

The counterattack began immediately, and the double-shooters, also wearing Terminator armor, began to shoot at each other, and the melee units began to charge.

boom!

brush!

The lightning claws and power fists collided with each other, and sparks appeared along with the sound of metal colliding.

At this moment, the transparent figures of the Dark Eldar appeared again...

[Simulation failed]

Looking at the company members who left angrily, Zhang Yi looked at Miller beside him.

"Are we really going to kill each other?"

In addition to what has been shown in the video, the simulation also included content that was further enhanced based on the two captains' requests and their two teams' own experiences and opinions.

After all, in real situations, the problems will only be more numerous and more dangerous, not to mention that this simulation is not 100% restored and real.

So, the difficulty is naturally as difficult as possible.

More sweat in training, less blood in battle

Looking at Erlian Miller who had no expression on his face beside him, Zhang Yi always felt that he was trying to hold back his laughter.

"...It's your turn." Zhang Yi was speechless.
