Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"This planet can already be considered a huge subspace creature. Without knowing its characteristics, even we cannot provide you with suitable, isolating and appropriately sized devices to protect your fragile spirits." Hadilak said. "And it will take quite a while to install and activate those devices..."

"We also need to consider the problem of subspace force interference and enemy attacks..."

"Finally, even if you can solve these problems and land successfully, then..."

"How can you guarantee that the 'bomb' you carry can destroy the entire living planet?"

"You know, it's not just a planet..."

"Damn it!"

Just as Hadilak said, even if the Empire really succeeded in rushing over and overcoming the obstacles to reach the surface of the planet and successfully established a temporary safety zone, how could they ensure that the "explosives" set up on the ground could blow up the entire planet that had been completely changed beyond recognition?

This living planet of Nurgle was an almost completely unfamiliar existence to the Empire. They had almost no useful information, and all their reconnaissance activities were just a glance and a scan from a distance.

Therefore, they did not know how to destroy this living planet, and there was no similar planet for them to refer to.

But, it’s not that there isn’t one…

"Actually..." Zhang Yi suddenly spoke up. "I do know that there is a world with similar things that may serve as a reference..."

"Something like that? You mean there are living planets on other worlds?"

"Yes." Zhang Yi confirmed. "And in many ways, it is very similar to the planet of Nurgle that we are currently dealing with, except that it is in a dormant state and is much safer..."

"However, before we decide to go there, we must first analyze the safety issues of that world..."

"In some ways, the water is quite deep over there..."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Our family is in decline.

Do you still remember our ancient and profound mansion, so rich and solemn?

It stood proudly and motionlessly above the wilderness.

I have spent my life in that old mansion, surrounded by the shadow of rumors.

After enjoying a life of luxury and decadence, I became tired of the almost unchanging routine of feasting and revelry.

At this time, strange and disturbing rumors arise, suggesting that the manor itself may be a gateway to some nameless and incredible power.

. . . . . .

Another unlucky, conceited guy who was deceived into coming to the town of Hamlet in order to inherit an estate was buried in the cemetery of Hamlet town by the old butler himself and the mercenaries he hired.

The unfortunate fellow was completely wiped out when he tried to deal with the holy temple during his second entry into the depths of the mansion, and was pricked by the crystal green tail needles like a hedgehog.

This means that the ancestor's plan has been followed up one step further, and once his plan succeeds, he (the old butler), as his loyal servant, will also be promoted.

Placing the last shovel of dirt over the empty grave, he began to walk back.

He walked through the town of Hamlet, which had already taken shape, past the quarreling crowd, the performing actors, and the drunkards, returned to his house, and began to write a letter to the next unlucky person.

He had written almost the same words many times and had memorized them.

After writing, drip red wax on the envelope and stamp it with the ancestor's seal.

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew, blowing the envelope in his hand out of the window, and also blowing away the old butler's few hairs.

He immediately tried to catch the letter, but failed and it flew out of the window.

As he watched, the letter flew in the air and was finally firmly grasped by a young man - a young man he didn't know.

"Are you planning on cheating people again, old swindler?"

The old butler who had served the ancestor for many years spent some time searching his memory and confirmed that he did not know the young man and had definitely never seen him.

Why do you feel as if he has known you for a long time when hearing his words?

At this moment, the old butler suddenly discovered that the people around him all raised their heads and looked towards the sky, with expressions of shock and panic on their faces.

In this regard, he followed everyone's gaze and looked up into the sky. There, there was a huge metal monster floating there that he could not understand and was definitely not something that humans could create in his understanding. Its shadow almost covered the entire town.

【Death】Multi-functional large air base (modeled after the Avenger in XCOM)

The moment he saw the huge metal structure floating in the air, the old butler suddenly felt that he was not that loyal to his ancestors...

280. Plague Prevention and Control (V)

[Darkest Dungeon]

In Zhang Yi's world is a 2D game with some Cthulhu flavor.

And precisely because he brought some Cthulhu things with him, Zhang Yi said that before going to this world again, he needed to discuss it carefully based on the existing information.

According to the known information, the most powerful existence in the entire [Darkest Dungeon] world is the planet under our feet - its body is actually a huge organism, which is also the target of Zhang Yi and others.

After some discussion, Hadilak, the representative of the Necrons who knew the gods best, believed that the evil god of that world was not something to be feared.

Because most of them exist in the universe as entities, there are basically no incarnations of some concepts like the "Star Gods". They are basically powerful creatures with special abilities.

According to the information provided by Zhang Yi, the beings who claim to be "gods" are roughly the following:

The planet itself, the crystal life form from the starry sky, the unknown evil god believed by the mystics, the righteous god believed by the crusaders and nuns, the fish-man-like sea god (second generation), and the unknown god in the mountains (guess the final boss of the second generation).

Except for two of them, the other "gods" have physical entities, so there is no problem if they have physical entities (this is what Hadillac thinks).

As for the deeper levels behind it, the powerful existence that was only mentioned briefly or even not mentioned at all, and was completely speculated and without any basis, Hadillac sneered at it - if they dared to come out, it would blast them in the face with Gauss guns and lightning beams!

What else can Zhang Yi say?

. . . . . .

The unlucky necromancers who were hired by the ancestors with huge sums of money, but were then discarded by them and became his "graduation works"?

Or a mermaid who was obsessed with her young ancestor, but was eaten dry by the former and thrown into the sea to the murlocs for a lot of treasure?

Or is it that he is the [Pig King] who came from another world and was summoned by the ancestors?

This is the reality. Previous successors did not have enough time, energy and ability to deal with these powerful lord creatures in their respective territories. They did not even have enough backpack space to carry various trophies. Moreover, a week was not enough for an exploration team to recover. Some unlucky ones might not be able to continue exploring after one expedition.

Therefore, they usually bypass these dangerous existences and leave directly after obtaining the information and materials they want.

Of course, there are also some reckless men who don’t care about anything and just gather a group of people to rush to the ancestral home and then die without a complete body...

So far, there have been a total of six successors attracted by the legacy. These people only dealt with the problems of the "Fat Witch" in the wilderness and the small groups of wandering bandits, and took back the cannons in their hands as a defense measure for the town of [Hamlet].

And now, when the giant metal object appeared above the town, these terrifying creatures became harmless in front of those warriors who were as tall as giants and wearing heavy armor.

The giant pig-man was dragged from his domain and his massive head cut off and displayed at the entrance to the town.

The necromancer and his summons were completely crushed and then purified and turned into fertilizer for the farmland.

The mermaid who was wrongly treated as a bad person, she was a pitiful person. After she turned into a monster, she often cried to herself in the mirror - so Zhang Yi gave her the gift from the emperor (death).

In the face of powerful Space Marines carrying the Moonstone and soulless Undead warriors, these regional lords who were quite threatening in the original game were found and killed one by one.

(There are roughly three steps: find the BOSS; ignore most of the opponent's attacks, walk up to the target, and blow up his/her/its head; drag out his/her/its body)

If there is any trouble, it is one of the lord creatures in the Beast Cave area - Invisible Flesh and Blood. Its size and scale are far more than the 'four' in the game. Its body is huge and almost covers most areas of the Beast Cave. Before, it relied on its size and scale to compete with the pigmen (eat each other).

It took the Space Marines and Necrons some time to use heavy weapons to completely destroy these squirming and twisting grotesque flesh creatures - including aerial bombardments from the Reaper.

After spending about three days dealing with these regional lords, Zhang Yi needed to prepare to enter the next stage.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

"God! You are finally here! Please have mercy on this land!"

"Burn the vampires! Burn the demons! Burn the beasts! I am willing to serve as the vanguard of the true God and burn all the evil in the world! Long live the God of Humanity!"

A Pathfinder Space Marine dragged away the 'Prophet' and the 'Fanatical' who came to kneel and pray almost every day, to prevent them from disturbing their Primarch's meal.

After Zhang Yi placed the statue with a hint of imperial aura in the center of the town to replace the ancestor, the two former bosses were inspired and came to the town soon after.

At this moment, the old butler (referring to the player's pressure relief position), who used to sell things at very high prices in the game and was very likely to do something secretly, now stood trembling near Zhang Yi, watching him eat breakfast while checking the information in his hand.

"Hmm... Is it necessary to send people to the 'Countess' and the 'Farmer'?" Zhang Yi looked at the information in his hand and asked the Dark Angels Space Marines and the Necrons who were leading the team. "Leave it alone for now? Or, bomb them directly?"

"According to the information you provided, the success rate of using the Death to bomb the Countess in the manor is relatively high. That twisted blood-sucking monster is just a powerful flesh-and-blood creature, but on the other hand..." the Dark Angel Space Marine responded. "Those crystal life forms have the ability to affect space and time. I don't think..."

"I will lead the team to the manor later." The Necromancer Lord interrupted the Space Marine and said, "A silicon-based life form that can affect time and space? My Overlord is very interested in them~"

"So, now have we collected enough information for us to go underground in the ancestral home?"

"The underground map is clear, and combined with the information we already know, the enemy's type and ability are also clear..."

"If the actual situation is not too different from what we know, we can start in-depth exploration of the underground."

"What is the physical and mental condition of the reconnaissance troops?"

"It's all fine. With proper preparation, this level of mental interference won't have much impact on Space Marines." The Dark Angel responded. "Your descendants and Necrons don't feel anything at all."

Zhang Yi shrugged his shoulders at his words. He didn't feel anything - except for some disgusting curiosity.

Then, Zhang Yi looked at the old butler who didn't dare to speak at all.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Zhang Yi said. "If not, you can choose between the gallows and the stake."

"!"

The old butler was sweating profusely, and was almost shaking like a sieve. It had only been three days since Zhang Yi and his troops arrived at the town of Hamlet, and they had completely wiped out those horrible monsters as easily as cutting vegetables.

If it were just that, the old butler would not be so scared, but the problem was that when the majestic sculpture replaced the sculpture of the ancestor and stood in the center of the town of Hamlet, he could no longer feel the will of the ancestor who was omnipotent in his mind - he was blocked!

This had never happened before! He could no longer feel the presence of his ancestors in the town of Hamlet, nor could he hear their voices!

Snap--!

At this moment, the Dark Angel Space Marine loaded the grenade launcher in his hand. The firing sound frightened the old butler to his knees, sweating profusely.

There are benefits to being a dog for the ancestors. The old butler accepted the ancestor's "gift". Although there was no change in his appearance, he had served six masters and basically remained the same.

Time has not left any traces on his face and body. He can still be full of energy the next day after being whipped; or after being drunk, he can still handle a lot of paperwork without any problem the next day; or he can order three, four, five, six or seven girls in a special place and perform a "myth".

But even so, in front of these giants, he couldn't muster the slightest thought of resisting - there was no way he could win!

The people in front of him knew very well what he had done. His deception was useless and there was no way he could escape from these powerful giants.

"Report!" At this time, a militiaman in charge of reconnaissance suddenly rushed in, looking panicked. "Monsters! Countless monsters are rushing towards the town!"

"Huh?" Zhang Yi was a little confused when he heard the news. "In the original version, there was no such thing as monsters attacking the city..."

"But according to the plot of the second generation, the town is in chaos outside, with all kinds of cultists, demons and monsters running around, but none of them attack the town..."

"It is very likely that they did not attack the town of Hamlet because of the protection of the ancestor's power. Now in this situation... the 'ancestor' who has done so many evil things finally can't sit still?"

thump!

At this moment, while everyone's attention was attracted by the militia who brought the news, the old butler who was kneeling on the ground suddenly jumped out from a nearby window and fell heavily to the ground.

Then, under the gaze of the people around, the old butler who fell to the ground suddenly moved quickly with his limbs in a weird posture and ran towards the ancestral home.

"Send someone to follow him." Zhang Yi said without any panic. "Maybe, we can skip a lot of boring and long ceremonies and directly meet the guy who has done so many bad things."

"Wait a minute... Has someone already caught up with him?"

281. Plague Prevention and Control (VI)

A deformed goat or ox covered with tentacles and tumors.

The wheelbarrow has become one with the ham-clad porter (and his wheelbarrow).

A humanoid monster with clothes that could barely be identified as those worn by aristocrats/rich people, with an open mouth and no other facial features.

Because of the arrival of Zhang Yi and others, the ancestor felt the crisis - these powerful and unknown warriors made him feel an unprecedented crisis.

Therefore, he withdrew the protection of the town of Hamlet and allowed the wandering monsters outside to attack the town in order to delay the actions of Zhang Yi and others.

The ancestor himself also began to prepare for the incomplete ceremony which started ahead of time.

In his opinion, as long as he could complete the ritual and replace the old gods under his feet to become the new gods, then there was nothing to fear.

But Zhang Yi knew that even if he succeeded in the end, his ancestor, who had planned for so long, had only gained control of a very small part of the body of the huge creature under his feet (probably the area around the ancestral home), which was far from his expectations.

A large number of monsters were slowly walking towards the town along the [Old Road]. The militiamen from the town of [Hamlet] who had experienced this scene were trembling and retreating continuously.

These mortal militiamen had little combat experience and had only fought roaming bandits at most. They had never seen such a large number of monsters, let alone monsters actively attacking the city.

"Pick up your muskets! Adjust the direction of the cannons!" At this moment, the [Old Soldier] Barristan, who only had one eye, holding a shield and a pointed hammer, shouted to the militia. "The weapons in your hands are not for display! Aim them at the enemy!"

"Don't be afraid! You have already seen miracles! There are still powerful 'God's Warriors' in the town!"
