Warhammer 40 A New Hope

One day after the Battle of Itaza, the Imperial Guards placed a document in front of Zhang Yi.

"What is this?"

"...about the female ratman." The Imperial Guard said. "After identification and autopsy, it was confirmed..."

"'She' is actually a male, and that appearance is due to genetic modification and drugs."

Then, both sides fell silent.

"I fucking did you!" Zhang Yi suddenly got angry. "I've said it many times, I didn't..."

111. Communication, Submission, Destruction

Altdorf Palace

Zhang Yi, who had shown his prowess in public, was welcomed into the palace with the highest etiquette.

After discussing the various friendly exchanges and incorporation issues in the medieval world, they decided that mortals would communicate with mortals, and gods would communicate with gods.

Yes, before arriving at the medieval human empire, the fragments that recovered in Zhang Yi's body (Son of the Star) found one of the human gods - Sigmar, through Master Kroka and other magic toad priests.

The Emperor of mankind in the Warhammer 40K world has only one thing to say about the existence of these friendly gods that protect mankind - the human empire of 40K can accept a powerful psychic who is worshipped by a large number of ordinary people, but a god is absolutely not allowed to exist.

The Emperor promised to treat these humans from the medieval world properly, and as long as Sigmar could accept his conditions, he would also welcome the joining of a powerful psychic who would protect humanity.

In response to this, Sigmar, the former emperor and now a god worshipped by countless medieval humans, chose to accept it.

As one of the gods who protects mankind, Sigma can see farther and more than humans in the mortal world. After discovering the abnormal behavior of the four evil gods and seeing the powerful and majestic, true human god in Zhang Yi's body, he did not think too much and chose to accept it.

After all, he himself had been the ruler of mankind for a period of time, and he did not have much obsession with the title of God.

At the same time, he was also willing to help the Emperor to persuade other gods, big and small, on the human side - in this critical moment, every bit of help was beneficial.

Now, in the human palace of Altdorf, Zhang Yi is discussing with a group of imperial officials, including Emperor Karl Franz... or rather, announcing

As the "Living Saint" of the 40K Human Empire, Zhang Yi narrated the history of the creation of this world and its original future.

This planet will belong to the Ancient Saints' creations - the Lizardmen, or it will be divided equally with the Dragons who originally lived on it.

That is, these people can choose to stay here and accept the rule of the Lizardmen (although it is very likely that the Lizardmen will not care about them as long as they don't cause trouble); or accept to become part of a larger and more powerful human empire where Zhang Yi is.

It is foreseeable that their lives will have a qualitative leap, but at the same time, they will also need to participate in a more cruel and bloody world.

Zhang Yi's words once again caused a strong reaction from everyone present. Many people thought that his words were just lies to deceive everyone, and some even thought that he (Zhang Yi) was a liar.

But when they thought of the huge "metal monster" that was still outside the city, and saw the grenade launcher provided by Zhang Yi, they all fell silent - if people with such strength and equipment were liars, then what were they?

After seeing the token with rich Sigma power, those people from various churches stopped saying that Zhang Yi was a wizard with evil intentions or a devil. Even if the Sigma token that was filled with such energy and so real was fake, they had to think twice whether they could afford to offend someone who could forge such a thing.

They had long heard of the existence of the Ancient Saints and the Lizardmen, and knew that these powerful non-human races had existed far longer than humans. Zhang Yi and others approached them and acknowledged their rule over the planet, which was indisputable.

Emperor Karl, who had been silent since Zhang Yi told them everything, suddenly spoke.

"Why are you telling us this?" Carl asked. "You have the power to shake the entire world. If you want, I think almost no one in the human empire today can resist your attack..."

"But you didn't choose to do that. Why?"

"This is because you have the right to choose," Zhang Yi said. "Whatever you choose, you will lose."

"At the beginning, Sigmar chose to put down the crown and follow his heart, and then he became a god..."

"You can also choose to continue to be the king of this small piece of land and not care about the wider world, or..."

“Put down the crown on your head, take on another identity, lead these people, and witness the wider and more dangerous world.”

"We are all human beings, so I am willing to give you the right to choose."

"After all, sometimes, it is not shameful to plug your ears, cover your eyes, and turn a blind eye to the facts just to survive."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The beastmen in the wild were killed like livestock, and they had no power to fight back in front of the huge "metal monster" (Emperor's Bane Blade super-heavy tank).

Those human traitors who tried to split the empire were powerless in front of those tall giants and gave up resistance.

The powerful magic toad priests, their magic is far more powerful than that of all magic researchers in the human empire. Even the empire's now famous magician lord, Bayersazar Gelt, can hardly match them.

And when they saw with their own eyes the beams of light symbolizing death falling from the sky and landing in the vampires' territories and cities, they finally confirmed that these sudden beings carrying Sigma's tokens were not something they could contend with.

Such an existence did not directly enslave them, but instead chose to communicate with them and give them choices, which was already a great respect for them.

Emperor Karl also asked how the Lizardmen would manage them if they chose to stay.

Master Kua Kuat, who came as a representative, said that if the humans from the Middle Ages stayed, they would basically not interfere with the behavior of Carl and others, as long as they did not stand on the side of Chaos, or openly become enemies of the Lizardmen, at least in the Old World, they could do whatever they wanted.

But at the same time, they have basically lost the opportunity to go to a wider world and can basically only live on this planet forever.

In the palace of Altdorf, Karl summoned all the ministers and electors who were willing to attend the meeting and held an intense discussion for dozens of days. They discussed whether to stay on this planet and give up the opportunity to see a wider world, or to seize this opportunity that could take the entire empire a step further and go to a wider, more advanced, but more dangerous world.

Finally, the meeting came to a conclusion today.

Sylvania

This is the territory of vampires who have transformed themselves into monsters in pursuit of immortality. It was also once a part of the medieval human empire long ago.

But now, this place is shrouded in dark clouds all year round, the land is polluted by the curse of vampires, and all kinds of undead creatures can be seen everywhere.

Here, humans are kept captive by vampires, providing these abominable and foul monsters with food, servants, and soldiers - even after their death.

The endless army of undead creatures that know nothing of fatigue and fear, as well as the various conspiracies and curses from vampires that are hard to guard against, have made it difficult for the human empire to succeed in its repeated attempts to retake this place. After all, even though they are all human beings, they are not of one mind.

And now, under the watchful eyes of Emperor Karl and many electors, this place is being attacked and recaptured.

And it starts from Waldenhof, the capital of Sylvania...

Fighter planes flying in the sky shot down all the undead creatures, and along with them fell an entire squad of [Ultramarines] Space Marines and a sacred military flag. The land that had been contaminated by the vampire curse for hundreds and thousands of years was instantly purified.

Groups of Astra Militarum troops, tanks and artillery landed outside the walls of Waldenhof Castle, and the next second the sound of artillery began.

The undead guards on the city wall were blown to pieces before they could react to what was happening, and the city wall protected by magic collapsed after several rounds of bombardment.

There is a reason why city walls were eliminated after the emergence of mature and powerful artillery - the city walls that consumed the efforts of several generations and used a large amount of manpower and material resources to build could only withstand one to three rounds of artillery attacks, which was obviously extremely unequal.

Immediately afterwards, two Space Marine airdrop pods, representing the Extremes and Salamanders, dropped from the sky and crashed directly into the dark and deep castle.

"Find the Corrupted One! Destroy it!"

Manfred von Carstein is considered to be the first human transformed by Vlad, the ancestor of vampires. He is the owner and ruler of Waldenhof Castle, as well as a powerful wizard.

At this time, the vampire lord was thinking about whether to give up this place.

An army of unknown origin somehow appeared outside his castle, and used advanced firearms that he had never seen before to kill his troops like cutting wheat.

Under the artillery fire and laser gun beams, there was no difference between skeletons, zombies, ghouls, or the more elite grave guards, tomb-bound ghosts, and bloodthirsty sky demons - they were all turned into corpses again under the attack of those weapons of unknown origin.

Groups of black knights charged at the enemy, but were all killed by heavy bolter fire; a ghoul lord under his command tried to challenge the giants in heavy armor, but was killed in just a few rounds; those corpse carriers that used rituals to strengthen the undead were often smashed into pieces by the heavily armored tanks as soon as they appeared.

They were no match at all. Even though there were still a lot of undead, they were completely useless.

Manfred decided to escape, even if he had to give up his rights and everything here, it was better than being destroyed by these unknown beings.

boom!

Squeak——!

At this moment, a banshee, caught in bolts of lightning, wailed and smashed the door of his room, fell in, and turned into ashes before his eyes.

Then a ball of fire attacked Manfred, and he immediately used magic to block it.

Bang bang bang!

A large number of bombs came towards him, and he had to expand the area of ​​the shield in front of him to block the attack.

Bang bang bang!

And when those intercepted bombs exploded, this powerful vampire suddenly found that his perception and use of the wind of magic had weakened.

"These are anti-magic..."

He had no time to be surprised, as one of the giant warriors rushed towards him, slashing at him with a long sword that was flashing with lightning and had a wax stamp and a prayer scroll in his hand.

Manfred had no choice but to hurriedly use his [Sword of Blasphemy] to meet the enemy. Although he was a good fighter even without being able to use spells, his melee ability was still too weak compared to the [Glory Guard] of an [Ultramarines].

Soon, the weapon in his hand was knocked away, and then another attack came at him.

[Advanced Nagash Gaze]

The magical wind that was gathered with great difficulty was once again squandered, and this magic was only able to repel the soldier of the [Glory Guard].

At this moment, Manfred had turned and rushed towards the window, intending to escape immediately.

Sizzle——!

The Librarian of the Ultramarines fired a fierce lightning at him, knocking him to the ground and stopping his action, while another Space Marine shot a wave of plasma at him!

Hiss—!

“Wa ...

The ball of light, as hot as the sun, directly melted one of Manfred's legs, leaving him wailing on the ground. Then, he saw the warrior he had defeated had come to him at some point.

"Wait! I can..."

brush!

112. Dances with Dragons

Medieval World, near the Evil Moon

In the original medieval world line, in order to destroy the Lizardmen, the Grey Prophet used a huge amount of magic power to pull the star composed of a large number of dimensional stones, causing it to break into pieces and crash into Lustria where the Lizardmen were, in an attempt to destroy their great enemy once and for all.

Finally, Master Mazdamundi believed that failure was inevitable, so he teleported back to the largest temple in Hexotar, and worked together with his brothers (Magic Toad Priests) to prevent the fragments of the Evil Moon from falling to the ground, and to protect the remaining Lizardmen and get into the escape ship.

Finally, after all the surviving Lizardmen boarded the spaceship left by the Ancients and left, the Toad Priest, who had worked diligently and until his death for the Lizardmen, climbed to the highest point of the temple and watched the meteorite fragments fall, destroying Lustria and himself.

But now, with the help of Zhang Yi and others, this future will definitely not happen again. Zhang Yi has already sent several ships to the vicinity of Xieyue in advance to ensure that the rat people cannot recreate that future.

If necessary, these ships will use their hulls to withstand possible attacks from the ground on the satellite to ensure that the Evil Moon will not be destroyed.

Of course, members of the Mechanicus are also studying this huge, energy-filled planet to see if they can safely mine and use the [Dimensional Stone] on this planet (it is almost impossible to persuade them not to go).

On the other hand, due to the powerful combat capability and swift actions of the Astra Militarum and the Space Marines, Manfred, one of the greatest enemies of the medieval human empire, was killed at an unbelievable speed.

When Manfred's head was placed in front of the people of the empire, everyone acknowledged the strength of Zhang Yi and others, and were willing to become part of the 40K Human Empire.

After all, instead of expecting the lizard people to treat themselves well, it is better to expect Zhang Yi and others who are also human beings.

"It's been almost a month since I started working on it, and I finally got it done." Zhang Yi held his forehead and said. "My head hurts..."

"The next goal is..."

As he spoke, Zhang Yi looked at the map at hand.

【Aurora】

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

When the head of Manfred, one of the great enemies of the human empire in the Middle Ages, was placed in front of Emperor Karl and other high-ranking officials of the empire, the question of whether to join the forces of Zhang Yi and others was self-evident.

The land that the Empire had failed to recover for so many years was now recovered in just one day under the attack of the Space Marines and the Astra Militarum. The head of the traitor and blasphemer was right in front of them.

At this point, all the voices of doubt and questioning disappeared. Zhang Yi used courtesy first and then force to regain the human race in this area. Emperor Karl took off his crown in his palace and led a group of imperial high-ranking officials to kneel on one knee in front of Zhang Yi, the "Living Saint".

At this point, Zhang Yi and others turned their attention to another target...

. . . . . .

The Cathay Empire, a human kingdom led by a divine dragon.

Before the Ancient Saints' spaceships arrived on this planet, the Dragon Clan was the ruler of this planet.

It is said that it was the prayers of the dragons that attracted the Ancient Saints.

After that, the Ancients began to change the climate of the planet, built two levels of portals, and created a series of races.

But at the same time, climate change has made this world no longer suitable for dragons to move around, and many dragons have fallen into a deep sleep.

Therefore, no matter whether it is the dragons of the elves or the dragons of the Zhendan Empire, they don't like the Lizardmen, a race that is still working hard for the [Ancient Saints] plan. After all, it was the Ancient Saints who caused the decline of the dragon race.

Now, in order to deal with the Chaos enemy that may arrive at any time, Master Mazdamuddi accepted the order of the recently revived Master Kroka to establish diplomatic relations with Zhendan, hoping to reach a consensus with it.
