Warhammer 40 A New Hope

[Reject/Deny/Delete, impact steel is a very rare metal and cannot be obtained on a large scale at this stage, so it is not within the scope of this transaction]

Kratos had anticipated what Kabasi would say. After all, even Brock said that this metal was extremely rare. Even if this was its birthplace, it was impossible to use it for trading casually. What Atreus had just done was completely an insult.

"Ordinary arrows with metal tips will do." Kratos pulled Atreus back and said to Kabasi in front of him. "About ten to twenty arrows will do."

[The request has been confirmed and the production has started]

The machine in front of him started to operate, and a large piece of ceramic steel was sent in, followed by the sounds of cutting and pressing.

At this moment, Kratos took Atreus out of the room, then squatted down and looked at his somewhat reckless son in front of him.

"You should think more before you speak." Kratos said. "Not everyone is friendly, and not everyone can forgive your offense."

"I'm sorry, Father, but..."

"No buts!" Kratos said loudly, interrupting what Atreus wanted to say. "Next time before you talk to someone, think about the possible consequences of doing so."

"I see..."

. . . . . .

"Oh~ There are so many people here~" Leman Russ, who was carrying the giant wolf back to the camp, came to the outskirts and said.

At this moment, the giant wolf he was carrying on his back suddenly began to struggle, jumped off Leman Russ's back, and then ran directly into the camp.

"I saw a feast," said Leman Russ. "And I was hungry."

When Leman Russ reached the deepest part of the camp, the giant wolf had already begun to feast on a roasted wild boar. Then a servitor brought a large bowl of broth to Leman Russ.

[Magic/Energy/Unnatural Energy Detected] Kabasi walked near Leman Russ and said while looking at its [Axe of Winter]. [Speculation/Suspicion/Estimation, from the World Serpent Jörmungandr...]

[Make a research request]

"Don't even think about it. I haven't even warmed up my weapon yet." Leman Russ drank half a bowl of broth in one breath, then picked up the mead brought by another servitor and replied. "Has Kratos been here?"

[Has completed initial contact with the target, completed a transaction, estimated/estimated/calculated time, the target's next destination - Alfheim]

"Is it the territory of the elves? It reminds me of the Eldar over there." Leman Russ drank the broth in his bowl in one gulp and responded. "I remember that if you want to travel across the border here, you have to find the 'World Tree' and then use some magic..."

"Never mind, I need to get some sleep first."

Rainbow bridge

This is a device that can connect the nine realms in Northern Europe. According to Freya, it has been sleeping at the bottom of the lake for 150 winters. Now it uses the last bit of its power of "Light of the World" to send Kratos and Atreus to the kingdom of the elves - Alfheim.

This also means that Kratos and Atreus will be trapped in Alfheim until they obtain the Light of the World and recharge the Bifrost.

When Leman Russ came to the temple again with his giant wolf, the light of the Rainbow Bridge was still dim. According to the instruments he carried with him, this magnificent magical building had been activated not long ago.

"I'm late indeed."

Leman Russ was not in a hurry at all. He took out instruments and began to collect data here for the people of the Mechanicus, and then began to wait, waiting for Zhang Yi to come to him.

After a while, a white portal appeared and Zhang Yi walked out of it. He saw Leman Russ and the giant wolf he used as a pillow.

"Hey, wake up!" Zhang Yi walked up to Leman Russ and called out to him. "Don't say you fell asleep!"

"If you'd come any later, I would have fallen asleep," Leman Russ responded, lying on the giant wolf.

"This thing is your substitute, right? You have no psychological burden at all using it as a pillow."

"I don't think there should be any psychological burden." Leman Russ stood up, dusted himself off and said, "I'm late. The two of them have already gone to that Alfheim."

"Don't think I don't know you did it on purpose..."

"What does it matter? I can't go where you are."

"If I hadn't been a little busy recently, I would really like to slap you twice. You really treat me as a means of transportation, don't you?"

"Doesn't Guilliman often do this?"

"That's for business. Go and hold meetings in three or four star systems in one day."

"Don't go."

"I... forget it. I won't argue with you."

Afterwards, Zhang Yi stood still and drew a circle in front of himself. A white portal appeared and slowly expanded, and the scenery of Alfheim appeared at the other end of the portal.

"The door is open for you."

"Don't screw it up."

596.Encounter

Alfheim, this is the territory of the elves.

The unique climate and world structure make the environment here extremely magical - if there was no war going on, this would be a good travel choice.

Dark elves and light elves are the original inhabitants of Alfheim, but now these two races are fighting each other, or rather... a one-sided massacre.

Yes, it was a one-sided massacre. The Dark Elves unilaterally massacred the Light Elves, and the Light Elves did not resist at all.

The elves all needed to rely on the "Light of the World" in Alfheim to survive, and there was no irreconcilable conflict between the two races. This situation continued until Odin used conspiracy to provoke a war between the two races, and both sides began to fight for control of the Light of the World.

The Light and Dark factions have fought for it for centuries, and during this time the Light of Alfheim has changed hands more than two hundred times.

And this time, it's just another war.

Leman Russ, holding the [Axe of Winter], chopped down the ordinary dark elf who was blocking his way with one axe. At this time, another dark elf warrior attacked Leman Russ with a spear-like weapon, but was grabbed by him, and then he was thrown to the ground.

The giant wolf that served as a substitute for Leman Russ jumped up and bit a dark elf warrior in the air, pulling him down directly from the air, and then used the most commonly used skill of canines, 'shaking his head'.

The unconscious dark elf warrior was thrown into the distant lake by the giant wolf. At this point, all the dark elves who attacked Leman Russ were annihilated.

"Although that guy said that you are the victims, but..." Leman Russ said as he looked at the dark elf's body on the ground. "If you attack me, I will fight back."

The [Light of the World] in the distance was emitting dazzling light, but it was quite far away from where Leman Russ was now. More importantly, there was a huge lake in between.

"Do I have to build a boat on the spot?"

. . . . . .

When the light elves control the Light of Alfheim, it will emit a brilliant light, decorating the sky of the elven kingdom with azure blue; when the dark elves control the Light of Alfheim, the light will be obscured by some large plants, and the sky will be dyed blood red.

The dark elves manipulate a living and sentient plant to block the spread of light, thereby achieving the goal of controlling the light of the world.

As for why the propagation of light must be blocked, based on the light elves' obsession with the [Light of the World] in the original plot, it is very likely that there are certain problems with these [Lights of the World].

And judging from the fact that Kratos went deep into the "Light of the World" and was unable to extricate himself for a long time, this is most likely true - Odin or some other god has polluted the "Light of the World" in some way, giving it the ability to control and confuse others.

Leman Russ, who finally found a way to cross the lake, finally set foot on the land where the "Light of the World" was. As soon as he arrived, he saw several corpses.

"They are really fast."

Perhaps because Kratos and his son arrived here first and attracted most of the enemies, Leman Russ did not encounter many enemies along the way.

But Leman Russ still spent a lot of time finding the way. Along the way, there were special plants created by the dark elves, as well as animals and undead warriors that had gone berserk because of them.

So even though there were no dark elf warriors blocking Leman Russ's path, it still took some time for it to reach the Light of the World.

And nearby, a large number of dark elf warriors are gathering.

When Leman Russ threw a heavily armored undead warrior off the platform, he saw Atreus being besieged and a large number of dark elf warriors in the air.

"It looks like the little guy is in trouble." Leman Russ said, patting the giant wolf beside him, signaling him to jump over to help, and took out a Cawl-type grenade launcher from his space equipment. "Can't the storage space of this thing be bigger?"

Atreus, who was standing on the [Light of the World] platform, was resisting the siege of the dark elves with the bow and arrow in his hand, the knife of his mother and the [Leviathan Axe] given to him by his father. As the son of Kratos, he was trained since childhood and was not completely defenseless, but as a child, he still found it very difficult to face such a large number of people.

Indeed, Atreus, who had undergone some Spartan training, was not someone that one or two ordinary dark elves could fight against, but their numbers were too large.

Atreus, who was good at using bows and arrows, was not good at using his father's axe. The dark elf warriors in the air around him also realized this, so they chose to dive down on him from different directions and attack him continuously.

Atreus kept shooting arrows at the enemies in the air to block their attacks, but he inevitably got a few more wounds on his body.

At this time, a dark elf attacked Atreus with a spear-like weapon. Just as he was about to rush to the target, the sound of a grenade launcher was heard, and the dark elf's head disappeared directly.

Awooo——!

A huge howl was heard, and a giant wolf jumped directly from a distant platform, knocking over several dark elf warriors.

Atreus immediately recognized the giant wolf that he had seen once in Brock's shop, and then he opened fire and looked over.

A tall man, holding something he had never seen before, fired metal projectiles at the surrounding dark elves.

"Is that your master?" Atreus asked, looking at the giant wolf. "He is really tall..."

Bang bang bang－－!

In some ways, the grenade launcher in Leman Russ's hand was obviously more useful than an ordinary bow and arrow. As he kept pulling the trigger, the dark elf warriors flying in the air kept falling like mosquitoes.

The huge wolf was rampaging on the platform, chasing a group of dark elf warriors around, which greatly reduced the pressure on Atreus.

A dark elf warrior who looked like a squad leader swooped down from the sky, his weapon pointed directly at Atreus who was drawing the bow, but in the next moment, the giant wolf leaped up and bit him directly in its mouth.

The giant wolf bit the dark elf captain and threw him to the ground repeatedly, and finally threw him into the air. Atreus shot an arrow at him.

Tao Gang's arrow pierced the enemy's body as expected, and his body fell to the ground motionless.

The sudden appearance of the new enemy caught the dark elf warriors who were besieging Atreus off guard. When all the dark elves on the platform were wiped out, the dark elves in the air scattered like birds and beasts and disappeared from the sight of the two men and one wolf.

Seeing the dark elf warriors disappear, Atreus breathed a sigh of relief. He turned in the direction of Leman Russ and waved to him.

"Thank you for your help, stranger," Atreus called out.

In response, Leman Russ waved his hand, and then Atreus watched the tall figure take several steps back, then sprinted and jumped towards the platform.

But it was obvious that the distance between the platforms was a bit far. Even though the platform where Leman Russ was located was higher, and as a Primarch he also had extraordinary jumping ability, he still began to fall in the air at a short distance from the platform where Atreus was.

Seeing this, the giant wolf hurried over, used its length advantage to bite the falling Leman Russ, and then threw him onto the platform.

"I thought I could jump over." Leman Russ didn't care at all that he almost fell into the abyss. "Maybe only Corax or Curze can jump over."

Leman Russ's somewhat barbaric and thoughtless behavior made Atreus unable to react for a moment, and this situation continued until the big man in front of him spoke.

"What are you doing here, little kid?"

"My father went in there," Atreus said, pointing at the pillar of light from the World. "And then, he didn't come out for a long time."

"Can this thing get in?" Although he had received intelligence in advance, Leman Russ was still surprised (this was real) at the "Light of the World" that looked like a laser beam in front of him. After all, this thing didn't look like something that could be entered and then safely exited.

"Do you know what this is?"

"It's not very clear, but it's obviously not something simple."

There was no way that Leman Russ was pretending to be stupid. Of course, it was also possible that he knew it and forgot it.

The sound of the dark elf soldiers' wings flapping as they flew could be heard nearby. It was obvious that they had not given up the attack.

"These guys don't know what giving up is, do they?" Leman Russ looked around vigilantly, holding a grenade launcher in one hand and the Axe of Winter in the other.

Buzz－－!

There was a loud flapping sound, and then a unique dark elf warrior attacked Leman Russ. The impact caused by the extremely fast speed directly pushed him back a long distance.

Dark Elf King!

"Oh~" Facing this unique enemy in front of him, Leman Russ laughed. "You should be able to get the job done by me, right?!"

597. Dark Elf King

The Dark Elf King - Svardalyufu, the leader who ruled the entire Dark Elf race, attacked Kratos and others in the original plot, but was killed in return. Before his death, he said to Kratos, "You are wrong."

But now, this elf, who was supposed to launch a sneak attack when Kratos and Atreus were heading towards Midgard, attacked Leman Russ and Atreus while Kratos was still trapped in the Light of the World.

In fact, it is very reasonable. After all, the God of Killing who killed dark elves along the way is deeply trapped in the [Light of the World] and cannot extricate himself. Now there is only that little human here - everyone knows that you have to pick on the weak.

Although the Dark Elf King was caught off guard by the appearance of Leman Russ, Svardalyufu, who had not seen how powerful he was, still decided to launch an attack. After getting rid of these people, he would kill the man in the [Light of the World].

After the Dark Elf King appeared, a large number of Dark Elf warriors also appeared and once again surrounded Atreus and others.

At this moment, Leman Russ deflected the [Axe of Winter] in his hand, pushed Svardalufu's weapon aside, then raised his left hand, clenched his fist, and smashed it at the enemy in front of him.

Svardalyufu flapped his wings in advance to avoid the punch and distanced himself from Leman Russ. At his command, the surrounding dark elf warriors rushed forward.

Bang Bang Bang!

Leman Russ fired continuously with the grenade launcher in his hand, shooting down the attacking dark elves. Several magic bullets with flaming colors fell nearby and exploded the next moment, blowing him back a few steps. Then, the dark elf warrior holding the three-petal blade attacked him.

Swinging the Axe of Winter in his hand, Leman Russ pushed away the first enemy who attacked him, then chopped the second enemy on the shoulder with his axe, tearing his armor and spreading a layer of frost from the wound.

Leman Russ retracted the grenade launcher in his other hand, grabbed the severely injured dark elf warrior, used him as a shield, and smashed him at the enemy that was attacking later.
