Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"If we can persuade him to join our camp, then there will be a large number of warriors who have fought against Hell and will be willing to join us."

"As long as you can show him a trace of the miracles of the Lord of Mankind."

"We'll talk about it later..." Zhang Yi said after hearing what the bishop of the state religion said. "You'd better study the history and stories of the [Yakin people] as much as possible during this period."

"Your mission is very important!"

84. Pre-war training (Part )

As a powerful civilization that once caused Hell to suffer repeated defeats and failed to capture their capital for at least a hundred years, even the very few Argentinian warriors who are still loyal to the [Elemental Ghosts] are still a force that Hell cannot ignore.

Precisely because of this, these powerful warriors have seen a lot of those who claim to be gods, which also means that it will not be easy to get them to join the human empire - after all, there are all kinds of ghost things they have seen and hit.

This requires the people of the state religion to find a solution...

Zhang Yi and others have determined the general plot stage of this world. All they have to do next is follow the plan, wait for DOM GUY to return to Earth, and go to Hell through the oldest Gate of Dium that can connect to the capital of Hell - Imola, to start the final battle.

In theory, all they have to do is wait until that final moment comes.

However, some people just can’t rest at all…

On the one hand, there are members of the Mechanicus headed by Cawl. They make full use of this free time to study the blade of the "Blade of Judgment" used to seal the "Holy Icon of Sin".

On the other hand, the Grey Knights and the Krieg Death Corps proposed to actively search for nearby demons so that the troops can become more familiar with the habits of the demons here and how to fight them, in order to adapt to the more difficult battles later.

"You guys really can't take a break..." Zhang Yi looked at the application in front of him, then looked at the Grey Knight Captain Kyle and Krieg Commissar Artyom in front of him. "You should know that the demons in this world are only stronger than those in your world, right?"

"I am certain."

"You should also know that the focus of our mission this time is the subsequent battle in the city of [Imola]..."

"We shouldn't have too many casualties before then..."

"But according to your plan, someone needs to follow DOM into that evil city. It would be best if someone could watch the entire battle between the 'Lord of Evil' and DOM GUY, so as to bring the legend back at the first opportunity..."

"If we want to carry out this plan successfully, we need to know as much as possible about our enemy..."

“That way, the plan is more likely to succeed.”

"...Okay..." Zhang Yi said. "But you need to ensure the safety of yourself and the soldiers following you..."

Then, Zhang Yi looked at another document and threw it on the table in a few seconds.

"But, I cannot agree to your request to go to the Ring of Noor and try to pass the Elemental Ghost Trial. That's for sure."

"You Grey Knights are indeed good at killing demons, and you are also the best among the Space Marines..."

"But that trial, even in the heyday of the Argentinians, when there were many talented people, only a few could pass it..."

"You are not DOM GUY. I don't think any of you have a high chance of passing that test..."

"It would be better if we could have a Primarch." Zhang Yi said without any room for negotiation. "It's not that I look down on you..."

"Compared to the heyday of the Night Sentinel and DOM GUY, you should know the gap between you and them."

"...Yes." Kyle was silent for a moment and replied.

Although there was some reluctance and indignation, it was true that according to the information provided by Zhang Yi, these Grey Knights trained by the Human Empire to hunt demons, although not completely weaker than the [Night Guards] at the time, it would be difficult for them to win if they really fought.

"When you decide to start the operation, send me the specific number of troops you want to take and the departure time." Zhang Yi said a little tiredly. "Please go out when you are fine, and leave me alone for a while..."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The next day

The information provided by the local human official forces revealed that the locations of all the larger groups of demons in the surrounding area were known to Zhang Yi and others.

In exchange for this information, Zhang Yi and his team will dispatch a special force to help local officials eliminate at least one demon cluster that poses a certain threat to the local base, and this is what Zhang Yi and his team want.

Five Grey Knights, two Space Marines from the Imperial Fists, twelve Stormtroopers, and...

An [Emperor's Baneblade Super-Heavy Tank] belonging to the Death Legion of Krieg

This metal monster, which is 13.5 meters long, 5.4 meters wide and weighs 319 tons, owned by the Krieg Corps that joined Zhang Yi's team, will serve as a temporary stronghold and fire support in this operation.

Four Grey Knights wearing special Terminator armor walked in the front, while the Stormtroopers moved slowly forward with the Emperor's Baneblade Super-Heavy Tank in the center of the team. At the back were two Imperial Fists Space Marines, Duke and Harald.

"A ruined city." Captain Kyle, the leader of the team, said as he looked at the decaying scene caused by the previous demon invasion. "It also exudes an evil aura."

At this moment, the entire team suddenly stopped, and not far away, three [Pink Devils] were fighting over a human corpse, tearing it into small pieces and sharing it.

The sound of the [Emperor's Poison Blade Super Heavy Tank] engine attracted the attention of the demons. These medium-sized demons with poor brains roared at Kyle's team and rushed towards them.

In response, the tank's main gun began to adjust its position and aimed at the enemy attacking them.

boom!

The main gun, which used rocket-propelled shells, was fired with a loud bang and exploded on the ground not far away, raising a cloud of dust.

Dozens of seconds later, the smoke dissipated and a large pit appeared, with a few fragments of the demon's body in it.

Even these [Pink Devils], which were famous for their frontal defense, could not withstand the large-caliber main gun fire of the [Emperor Poison Blade Super Heavy Tank] and could only be turned into pieces on the ground.

"Come on, soldiers!" Captain Kyle shouted to the team members behind him. "The demons already know we are here!"

"Let us drive these evil creatures out!"

. . . . . .

Whoosh—boom!

Biubiubiu!

The fireball thrown by [Young Demon] was blocked by the shield, and then hit by a dense network of laser fire, burning it into charcoal.

boom!

The Hell Knight who attempted a surprise attack was hit on the jaw by the Grey Knights Priest Rowan's priest hammer and fell to the ground, and then he hit it on the head with another hammer.

puff!

The tall [Hell Knight] had his head smashed like a watermelon, with blood splattering everywhere.

Biubiubiu!

The corrupted native human soldiers shot at the huge tank with guns that had become one with their arms. The red energy bullets hit the thick armor plates like water drops on stone, with almost no effect.

Squeak--whoosh!

Ta-ta-ta-ta!

A beam of blue light shot out towards the attacking enemies, instantly melting most of them, and the heavy explosive bullets that followed smashed the 'lucky ones' who escaped into minced meat on the ground.

boom!

Click!

Bang bang bang!

The energy shield released by the demon [Fat Spider] was shattered by Duke's punch, and then he pressed the demon with a terrified expression to the ground, stuffed the grenade launcher in his hand into his mouth and fired three shots.

boom!

The wall on the left side of the tank was knocked open, and a tall and strong [Mechanical Fat Ball] rushed out from the hole, firing the energy cannons in its two hands frequently.

"spread!"

Captain Kyle gave the order in time, but several members of the Storm Troopers were still hit directly, evaporated on the spot, or blown away by the red energy bombs that fell beside them.

But fortunately, due to the lack of command, this [Mechanical Fat Ball] did not use its threatening energy cannon to attack the huge [Emperor Poison Blade Super Heavy Tank] at the first time, but instead attacked the humans who were closest to it.

Realizing this, Kyle and the others immediately shot at the demon to attract his attention.

Lasers and explosive bombs fell on the external armor of the [Mechanical Fat Ball], causing it to shake, but also angering it, and its two energy cannons fired at the surroundings.

boom! boom! boom!

The powerful energy bomb exploded on the ground and the surrounding walls, creating molten holes.

At this moment, the main turret of the [Emperor's Poison Blade Super Heavy Tank] finally turned around and aimed at the [Mechanical Fat Ball] that was firing randomly.

boom!

boom!

The huge body of the [Mechanical Fat Ball] was sent flying backwards by the huge shock wave generated by the explosion of the shell, and crashed into the wall behind it.

The demon, who was a little dazed by the explosion, had not yet recovered when he saw a figure breaking through the thick smoke and dust. At the same time, a blade lit up with lightning.

Tear it apart!

Captain Kyle swung the power halberd in his hand continuously, and the armor on the [Mechanical Fat Ball] kept falling off. Wounds appeared on its fat body, and then the final blow slashed horizontally towards its head.

As a huge head fell, the huge body stopped moving.

85. Pre-war Training (Part )

"Is the information true?" Kyle asked the Catachan warrior who handed him the information.

"That's right. The native humans who saw that guy and came back alive are still lying in the treatment room," said the Catachan warrior. "Only one person drove back alive. The others were said to have been chopped into pieces."

"A [Predator]... a traitor of the [Argentin] who abandoned his former beliefs and threw himself into the arms of Hell..."

Recently, the Grey Knights received news that local humans who were also out on reconnaissance and cleanup missions had reported that several teams had encountered humanoid demons - Plunderers - a little way away from their base.

When the Argentinians discovered the truth behind the Mekrs who called themselves angels, some of them chose to accept it and became running dogs of the Mekrs and the hell behind them.

The other group refused to degenerate, gave up the [Argentum Energy Weapons] from Hell, and regained the power of [Elemental Ghosts], resolutely resisting those betrayers and the hell after they rose up.

DOM was also one of the rebels at that time.

"That is to say, those [Predators] who fell into Hell are most likely members who once fought with that legend or fought against him." Kyle said. "What is the specific location?"

"Those people said they didn't know why the Predator came to Earth, so they were unsure of his whereabouts. They only had a rough estimate of his activity range based on where he had appeared before, and this estimate might not be accurate."

“Brother Luo Wen, what do you think?”

"I know what you want to do, brother Kyle." The Grey Knight priest said to Kyle. "You want to challenge the fallen warrior, and you have determined your own strength and that of your enemy."

"But you should know that in order for the plan to proceed smoothly, we need to introduce all unnecessary casualties..."

"The losses in the last few times made the Living Saint very angry." The priest continued. "If you want to go, you'd better tell him, and at the same time..."

"You'd better be prepared to meet this challenge."

. . . . . .

The research room where the Sword of Judgment is located

"It is very difficult to replicate it with science alone, but if..."

The table was filled with sheets of paper with the words on the sword blade copied on them, as well as several enlarged images of the words.

Speculations and analyses of these texts are ongoing, but considering that the worlds are different, some rules may also be different. Texts that may be effective in the DOM world and carry special powers may not have that effect in their world.

Besides, there is no [Argentum Energy] and [Elemental Ghost] in the world of Warhammer 40K.

As the Mechanical Magus, Cal attempts to use the pure subspace energy stored in the subspace of the XCOM world as a substitute for Argent energy.

As for the alternative to the [Elemental Ghost] power that could stabilize and purify this power, he chose... the power of the Emperor.

Zhang Yi has the [Son of the Stars], a fragment of the Emperor, in his body. Although it is not as great as the one on the throne, there is still enough to make an experimental sword.

Kyle walked into the research institute at this time, and a sword handle with the Imperial Double Eagle logo was placed in the center of a large instrument.

The whole institute was filled with the low chanting of the members of the Mechanicus, and the thick smell of incense and candles filled the entire room. At the same time, a large number of scrolls with wax stamps were hung all over the huge instrument and the hilt of the sword.

"I won't talk about the prayers and candlesticks that are almost everywhere." Zhang Yi wore a multi-layered mask to filter out the dizzy-smelling aroma in the air. "Is it necessary to use so much incense? Even the candles have fragrance. Don't you feel uncomfortable smelling it?!"

The people around ignored Zhang Yi's complaints, but stared at the machine intently, looking forward to what was about to happen.

Click!

As the Great Sage Caul signaled Father Kadoc to pull the switch, the entire machine began to operate, and a large amount of energy poured into the machine through the pipes.

A white and transparent blade gradually emerged from the hilt, along with a large number of sacred symbols and the double-headed eagle that symbolized the empire.

After dozens of minutes, the blade was complete and the machine stopped.

"My theory is correct." Great Sage Kaul walked towards the long sword with a transparent blade and took it out of the machine with one of his mechanical claws, looking at it carefully. "Although there are still many questions..."

Zhang Yi also walked over at this time and looked at the replica energy sword held by Kohl's mechanical claw.

"You really managed to copy it in such a short time..." Zhang Yi said as he looked at the transparent energy sword in front of him.
