Warhammer 40 A New Hope

Bang bang bang!

Biubiubiu!

The sound of gunfire from bolters and hellguns interrupted the orcs' shouting and made the surroundings quiet again.

After losing half of their troops, Zhang Yi and his companions successfully reached the deepest part of the orc building. There was a huge room with a huge unidentified machine inside, flashing green light.

"What is this?" Zhang Yi asked in confusion. "Where is the Bone Crusher?"

"I understand what motivates orcs. I'll turn on the lights here."

Commissar Yarick led a small number of Astra Militarum troops to find the light switch of the room, and the next moment the whole room was lit up.

"I... go?"

"The Emperor, above..."

Zhang Yi and Yarick were shocked at the same time, because what appeared in front of them was a huge machine that looked like a garbage dump, and in the middle of the machine was a huge orc brain covered with various metal devices and emitting green lightning.

And on the pile of machines there were a few words spelled out crookedly by the orcs using scrap metal.

This is Saraka

533. I was thinking, I also want to have an enemy!

The Thinker/I Think Array

In order to avoid being hunted down, Bonebreaker Saraka had his mechas work together to create a giant artificial orc command unit.

This huge wetware center, composed of several orc brains and a bunch of incomprehensible orc machinery, has the ability to remotely command the actions of other orcs (although other orcs who hear the sound may not listen), and it can also serve as a huge detection radar and signal jammer (even its own signal will be jammed). When necessary, this so-called thinker/I think array can also use its powerful [WAAAAGH stance] to directly turn the building it is in into a [Gu Juji] (this is the favorite function of this orc brain/but sustainability and combat effectiveness are a problem)

However, when this temporary Seeker/I Seeker array is at its most effective, orcs within a certain range will regard it as a 'Saraka' and therefore obey its orders.

But it's just 'Saraka', not Bonebreaker Mag Uruk Saraka.

[Yes, I am 'Saraka', it's written here! ] - The Seeker / I Seek Array

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

This is Saraka

"Well, those orcs are not lying." Zhang Yi said, looking at the big brain in front of him that was emitting green electric light. "Saraka is indeed here..."

"But not Bonebreaker Salakka, just 'Salakka.'"

"We've been tricked. Bonebreaker Salakka is not here at all." Commissar Yarrick said. "This building and all these orc troops are just bait to attract our attention."

"I don't think he attracted us." Zhang Yi said. "He should have attracted another orc."

"Grimgor Ironhide."

Rumble--!

At this moment, the entire green building began to vibrate, and the brain surrounded by countless garbage-like green devices also emitted more green lightning.

"I'd guess that we are now inside the body of Leo Ku," Zhang Yi said as he steadied himself. "And we are in the core area."

In fact, this was just as Zhang Yi guessed. The entire orc building began to tremble at this time. It began to rise, and the surrounding walls and metal sheets seemed to be pulled by something and converged towards the main body of the orc building. A recognizable orc-like face composed of countless metal fragments appeared on the building.

【'Psychic' Leo Ku】

It is not quite appropriate to call this huge mechanical existence built by orcs as such, because existences of this level, unless they are orc troops that have fought to a very late stage in the war, their construction and movement need to be supported by the "psychic power" of the orc race, that is, [WAAAAGH stance]. Therefore, all [Gu Juji] or [Go Mao Kong] can be regarded as psychic machines.

At this time, the entire huge orc-man-made creature had completed its aggregation and began to move its mechanical legs, falling apart as it walked towards the nearest battlefield.

Political Commissar Yarick and others who were at the core of the [Gu Juji] immediately tried to attack the orc brain, hoping to destroy this huge orc war machine.

However, the [WAAAAGH Stand] located around the brain blocked almost all attacks, and the scattered green lightning turned an unlucky Astra Soldier into ashes.

"You guys leave first, I'll destroy this thing and then go back to join you." Zhang Yi drew a portal and said, "Among those here, I should be the only one who can effectively attack this orc's brain."

After thinking for a moment, Political Commissar Yarick agreed with Zhang Yi's suggestion and ordered the remaining troops to evacuate from here into the portal. When everyone else left, Zhang Yi began to deal with the thing in front of him.

But... sometimes the world likes to play a joke on you.

. . . . . .

The huge [Gu Juji] was moving forward slowly, and the greenskins inside were constantly modifying and repairing this huge war machine, welding back the fallen metal blocks.

An orc warship with different markings fell from the sky at this time, stopped at a certain height and fired at the conspicuous huge machine on the ground.

The orc ship fired at the [Gu Juji] from a high position. Large pieces of metal fragments fell down, and the orc boys on the ship shouted excitedly.

Zila——!

However, the next moment, a green lightning shot out from the head of the [Gu Juji] and hit the hostile orc ship in the air that was attacking it. The entire ship began to tremble and then fell to the ground.

boom--!

The orc warship that fell from high altitude exploded, and a large amount of metal fragments and unknown mechanical devices flew everywhere.

"Ugh, ugh!" Grimgor Ironhide, who was barely injured, crawled out from a pile of blown-up metal, spit out a screw, and then looked at the [Gu Juji] that was absorbing the wreckage of the spacecraft on the ground. "I think this thing is really awesome."

"I'm going to have my kids build something like this someday... What the hell."

The [Gu Juji] that easily destroyed Grimgor Ironhide suddenly stood still, and then it began to tremble violently, and large pieces of metal fragments fell from its body.

BOOM!

There was a sudden explosion at the head of Leo Ku, and the forcibly gathered metal blocks and mechanical devices fell from his body.

In a matter of minutes, this huge orc fighting machine turned into a pile of scrap metal, and the smell of barbecue filled the air.

"Ahem~ ugh~" Zhang Yi climbed up from a pile of metal debris and shook the mucus off his hands. "The orc's brain is really disgusting."

It is unknown how it came about, but the orc brain that serves as the main control center in [Leo Ku]'s body and is able to control the powerful [WAAAAGH STANDING] has a powerful stance itself, which makes ordinary attacks unable to cause damage to it. If Zhang Yi wants to destroy it more safely at this stage, he can only achieve his goal by touching it and causing the [WAAAAGH STANDING] it controls to go out of control.

"At least in some aspects, things related to orcs are more reasonable." Zhang Yi said, looking at the scrap metal on the ground. "Now..."

"WAAAAGH--!"

Even from a long distance, Zhang Yi heard the very recognizable orc war cry, and when he turned around, a huge double-edged axe appeared in front of him.

Click!

The stratum corneum growing from Zhang Yi's left arm bought him time to dodge. Amidst the large amount of flying hard stratum corneum fragments, Zhang Yi retreated several steps, trying to create some distance from the tall orc in front of him.

"Don't run! You little jerk! Fight with me!" Grimgor Ironhide shouted at Zhang Yi with his battle axe raised high, and the battle axe in his hand fell again.

The mark of Slaanesh lit up, allowing Zhang Yi to dodge the attack. Grimgor Ironhide's attack landed on the ground, directly cutting a large hole in the thick metal plate under his feet.

"I take it back. Orcs are fucking outrageous!"

"WAAAAGH..."

DUANG!

A large piece of metal plate hit Grimgor Ironhide under Zhang Yi's traction, pushing it all the way back, but it soon stopped, and the sound of metal being torn was heard.

"WAAAAGH..."

DUANG!

Another piece of metal plate hit the face of Grimgor Ironhide, who had torn off the first piece of metal plate, interrupting his roar once again. Then, large and small metal plates on the ground flew towards it.

Zhang Yi clenched his fist and surrounded Grimgor Ironhide in layers of metal plates, but he could clearly feel the resistance coming from it.

At this time, sporadic sounds were heard around. There were other orcs who survived the previous battle and were now digging outside, trying to return to the ground.

"MD, never mind, meteorite escape!" Zhang Yi said. "T0154 titanium core asteroid, this is it!"

A white portal appeared high in the sky. A meteorite was affected by the gravity of the planet, passed through the portal and fell towards Zhang Yi's position.

Seeing the meteorite he brought here falling, Zhang Yi opened another portal and left this place of trouble. Soon after, the meteorite landed and a mushroom cloud rose.

A huge shock wave swept across the entire area, and a large amount of broken iron and rubble were picked up and flew everywhere.

Dozens of minutes after the meteorite hit the ground, Grimgor Ironhide dug himself out from a large piece of molten metal and saw the barren ground outside and the huge crater created by the meteorite.

"This little shrimp is really powerful." Grimgor Ironhide muttered as he looked at the completely changed surroundings and the huge crater created by the meteorite. "I think we can't just let it go like this."

"I heard that the Bone Crusher has a small enemy. I want one too!"

"I've decided! That little shrimp is my nemesis. He's much more powerful than the shrimp of the Bone Crusher!"

"Are there any living guys around?!"

After Grimgor Ironhide shouted, the sounds of digging were heard again in the originally empty surroundings, and several orc boys and goblins dug out from the ground in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

"Boss! It's the boss! The boss is still alive!" The little goblin with a thick book tied to his body stepped on an orc boy and shouted.

"We need to find the other guys, we're going to start a huge WAAAAGH!" Grimgor Ironhide ordered the other living orcs. "I'm going to find my nemesis and fight him all day long!"

"Okay, boss!" the little one responded.

"What is the enemy?"

534. Fortunately, the orcs don’t have many brains

Good news: All the troops from Saraka have arrived nearby, and their numbers are not large.

Bad news: Grimgor Ironhide's troops are almost all arriving nearby, and there are a lot of them.

Moreover, according to the report of the reconnaissance fleet, Grimgor Ironhide has a huge orc warship made up of countless ship wreckages and meteorites, which is slowly approaching this area.

What's worse, according to preliminary observation reports, this huge Ork warship seems to have no brakes - which means that it will crash directly into a planet where a melee is taking place.

And the bad news doesn't end there. There are signs that Grimgor Ironhide, the leader of an orc army, is targeting the human empire as his main target of attack.

This is a little abnormal, because there are still a lot of orc troops in Saraka, because of the orcs' unscientific combat power and perhaps new equipment methods, generally speaking, fighting between orcs should be the orcs' favorite, because only enemies who are also orcs can make them happy.

It’s not that enemies of other races are incompetent, but generally speaking, few races can keep up with the orcs’ increasingly outrageous performances – just look at the Tyranids being overwhelmed by a sea of ​​orcs.

"Ah~ My head hurts~" Zhang Yi said while lying on the table. "Not only were we fooled by Saraka, but Grimgor Ironhide is still holding us back..."

"...what did Guilliman say?"

"Lord Guilliman asked you to think of another solution." The android Divara, who had become Guilliman's secretary, responded. "If the human empire wastes a lot of military power on dealing with the greenskins now, then the subsequent large-scale exploration of other worlds will be seriously affected, and..."

"besides?"

"Is it true that Lord Guilliman is having an affair with the Eldar known as Evelyne?"

"If you talk to me about this, I won't be sleepy anymore. Let me tell you, Guilliman and Evelyne..."

. . . . . .

The orc tanks painted green rushed towards the positions of the human empire accompanied by the roar of the orcs.

boom!

An anti-tank shell hit the Orc tank directly, but the Orc tank, with large pieces of metal plates knocked off, continued to charge towards its target at unimpeded speed until the second shell completely destroyed it.

This scene is not an exception on the battlefield. The various creations of the orcs can be as outrageous as they can be.

Painting them red can greatly increase the speed of a motorcycle or airplane; painting them green can greatly increase the power of a tank or cannon; painting them blue will bring good luck.

The Orc vehicles, which are made of scrap metal and are almost entirely handmade without a uniform shape, can always burst out with unexpected power. This is also a headache for the Human Empire - you cannot predict whether the Orc vehicle that is emitting black smoke and making clanging sounds in front of you will fall apart in the next second, or kill you with a cannon.

Now, the two groups of orcs have established a foothold nearby, and it is no longer so easy to drive these "mushrooms" out of human territory.

The only good news that is not good news is: because Bonebreaker Saraka did not arrive here, an internal conflict broke out among the orcs in his group and they started fighting each other.

However, many of these orcs chose to directly join Grimgor Ironhide in the fight for a huge WAAAAGH.

In order to prevent the two groups of orcs from merging, Guilliman even ordered that some weapons be sent to the weaker orcs so that they would not surrender directly and join Grimgor Ironhide or something like that just because they felt they could not win.

This did have some effect. The speed of the orcs' defeat on Saraka's side was slowed down, and several new WarBosses appeared among them. They organized their men to fight against Grimgor Ironhide's troops.

As I said before, it's not that the Human Empire cannot win this battle. The current Orc troops and technology are not too outrageous. At least things like the [War Moon] have not appeared.

But if we use force, it will definitely cause great damage to the vitality of the human empire, thus affecting the subsequent exploration of other worlds.

In this situation, Zhang Yi came up with an idea: ask other races for help - even if they are orcs, they cannot face the siege of multiple races at the same time at this stage, right?

But the prerequisite for the implementation of this plan is that the Human Empire can convince other races to help itself.

There shouldn't be any problem...

In a part of this world beyond the reach of humans, there stands a complex of buildings with a distinct Necron style.
