Warhammer 40 A New Hope

The dark elf warriors had never seen a whole person being swung up and used as a weapon, and they were caught off guard by this sudden attack. In the end, Leman Russ threw the dark elf warrior, who had already become a corpse in his hand, out and knocked down several enemies.

As for Atreus, the short rest period did not allow him to retrieve many arrows, so he could only use the [Leviathan Axe] given to him by his father to fight the enemy and reduce the consumption of arrows.

From the subsequent plot, we can see that although Atreus is Kratos' son, he is not a powerful person like his father under normal circumstances (the first time he learned from his father to open a treasure chest and hammer the box, he twisted the handle). He is more like an agile and balanced warrior (he knows magic, transformation, Spartan wrath, etc.).

Moreover, he is still very young, which means he cannot use the [Levita Battle Axe] very skillfully.

Fortunately, Leman Russ's substitute giant wolf was helping him to attract fire. Its huge body moved forward, and the surrounding dark elf warriors all regarded it as the primary target of attack.

The giant wolf's huge size made every move threatening to the dark elf warriors, just like a large dog and a mouse. Even if the mouse was not bitten by the dog's fangs, it would be enough to cause them pain if it rolled over, not to mention the long-range support of Atreus.

The besieging dark elf warriors were also well aware of this, so they surrounded the giant wolf and Atreus and gradually narrowed the range. After it was narrowed to a certain extent, they tried to separate the two.

Leman Russ, who was held back by the Dark Elf King Svardalyufu and a group of Dark Elf warriors, dared not go to support. Atreus also discovered the enemy's intention, but it was obvious that the enemies who surrounded him would not let him break away from the encirclement to support others.

The dark elf warriors holding long-handled weapons gradually approached the giant wolf and used the weapons in their hands to restrict its movements. Some brave dark elves even stepped forward and tried to pierce the giant wolf's fur.

Just when several three-blade blades were about to hit the giant wolf at the same time, the target suddenly collapsed, and then several wolves the size of calves appeared in its place.

Awooo——!

After a wolf howl, the wolves split apart and pounced on the nearest dark elf warriors. This sudden change caused the dark elf warriors, who had been advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, to fall into chaos, and were knocked to the ground by the attacking wolves.

"Uncle, can your wolves split?" Atreus looked at the group of wolves that had split apart and shouted to Leman Russ.

"He would even sit down and shake hands and count!"

At this time, Leman Russ separated and pressed down the weapon of the Dark Elf King who was wrestling with him, then grabbed it and threw it hard, throwing the whole person out.

Even the Dark Elf King with wings took some time to steady himself in the air under such circumstances. However, the next second, the sound of grenade launcher firing was heard.

As the king who can command the entire dark elf race, the Dark Elf King has a more agile body than ordinary dark elf warriors. He quickly descended to avoid Leman Russ's shooting, and then the weapon in his hand flashed with a flaming light.

Ding--boom!

The shield belt on Leman Russ was activated, and the weapon filled with magical energy in the Dark Elf King's hand directly hit the transparent energy shield, followed by a violent explosion that directly blew the Dark Elf King away.

In the previous battle, Le Manrus had not activated his shield belt, which caught the Dark Elf King off guard and he flew a long distance before he could stabilize himself.

Before he could prepare for the next attack, a huge double-edged axe was thrown at him and hit him directly on the shoulder. An icy aura spread instantly.

As a small boss who could fight with Kratos in the original plot, he did not lose his fighting ability immediately after being hit by the axe. Instead, he gritted his teeth and tried to take the axe off his body, but Leman Russ did not intend to give him this opportunity.

He was seen running at high speed while shooting at the attacking enemies with the grenade launcher he had just taken out. Soon he came near the dark elf king Svardalufu, who was unable to fly high because of the axe chopping on his body, and then jumped towards him in the other's surprised eyes.

Leman Russ burst out with a jumping ability that was somewhat inconsistent with his body size. He jumped directly in front of the Dark Elf King Svardalufu, grabbed the handle of the [Axe of Winter], and brought him to the ground.

Bang--!

The Dark Elf King was completely unprepared and fell directly to the ground. Then Leman Russ grabbed his axe and threw him over his shoulder, causing the axe blade to embed deeper into his shoulder.

puff!

Leman Russ mercilessly stepped on the Dark Elf King on the ground and pulled out his [Axe of Winter]. After such a torment, the Dark Elf King was already dying.

"You... made a mistake!" The Dark Elf King said to Leman Russ in front of him what he would say to Kratos and Atreus in the original plot.

"I know." Leman Russ's answer shocked the other party. "But this is not a reason for you to attack us without saying anything."

It's the same for both Kratos and Leman Russ. Maybe you have your own difficulties, maybe you are on the side of justice, but these cannot be reasons for the Dark Elf King Svardalufu to attack them.

[Axe of Winter] was raised high, then swung down with force, and the head of the Dark Elf King was chopped off. With the fall of the ruler, the surrounding Dark Elf warriors also began to collapse.

"Now I can complete the task." Leman Russ muttered as he picked up the body of the Dark Elf King.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

After Kratos entered the Light of the World, he somehow returned to the place where they first lived, and the bag containing his wife's ashes flew away from him and flew towards a bright point.

He just kept chasing that spot of light, chasing his wife's ashes all the way forward. In a trance, he seemed to see his wife and hear her calling.

"Fei?"

Alfheim's [Light of the World] is connected to the Nordic underworld - Helheim. The souls of the dead creatures in Northern Europe will gather here, pass through the Lake of Souls under the [Light of the World], fall into Helheim, and be judged there (Sindri once went in to save Brok), so it is not impossible for Kratos to hear the voice of his deceased wife here - but this is actually not a good thing.

When Kratos in the "Light of the World" was about to reach the light spot, a hand suddenly grabbed him and pulled him out of the "Light of the World", away from his wife who was so close to him.

"No! No!"

Kratos came back to reality and began to scream heartbreakingly.

"What are you doing! Why are you doing this?! I'm almost..."

"I saved you! You were trapped in there!" Atreus yelled back at his yelling father. "I kept waiting and waiting for you to come out! So I pulled you out!"

"I just went in..."

Kratos, who was about to accuse Atreus of being in there for only a short while, sat up and saw the corpses of dark elves and blood all over the ground. He was immediately speechless.

"A short while..."

"I heard that the speed of time in the Light of the World is different from that in the outside world." Leman Russ, who was helping Atreus collect the arrows he shot, spoke up at this time. "And it seems to be connected to the underworld of Northern Europe..."

"It's reasonable to speculate that if you stay in there for too long, you'll probably fall directly into the underworld."

"You've been in there for a long time! Very long! Uncle Leman Russ and I fought off wave after wave of enemies! My arrows were empty again and again! But you still didn't come out!" Atreus shouted at Kratos. "I don't know what to do! You left me behind! For the second time! Why don't you care about me?!"

"..."

Looking at the angry Atreus, Kratos was speechless. After looking around at the corpses again, he looked at Leman Russ.

“Who are you?”

598. Rogue Traders Need to Accept New Things

“Who are you?”

Out of concern for Atreus, vigilance towards strangers, and of course the desire to change the subject, Kratos asked Leman Russ who was not far away.

"He is my comrade." However, before Leman Russ could answer, Atreus spoke first. "He and I fought back the dark elves that attacked us."

If the current situation wasn't a bit bad, Kratos would never have let Atreus speak. In his opinion, this stranger who suddenly appeared in Alfheim and helped Atreus might not be a good person.

Kratos stood up and reached out to recall the [Leviathan Axe] that was stuck in the dark elf's body.

"Why are you here?"

"For this thing." Leman Russ pointed at the World Light flowing downward and replied, then took out several containers and stones in front of Kratos and others. "Do I have to try all of these? It's annoying..."

Then, under Kratos's gaze, Leman Russ placed the container stones in his hand one by one into the [Light of the World], and then took them out to have a look.

In the end, only a glass-like container and a transparent stone successfully obtained a small amount of [Light of the World].

"All done." Leman Russ collected the Light of the World and looked at Kratos who was staring at him. "Why don't you take care of your son?"

"．．．．．．." Kratos was silent for a while, turned around and looked at Atreus, but now he didn't know what to say to him.

"...I can take care of myself." Perhaps Kratos's behavior just now further hurt Atreus's heart. The little boy picked up the last usable arrow on his own, then walked around Kratos and walked in front of Leman Russ. "Uncle, do you want to go with us?"

"No, I have my own way out of here." Leman Russ looked at Kratos and replied. "I hope we can meet again, little one."

Leman Russ rode on his giant wolf, jumped onto another platform, and then disappeared from Kratos' sight, while Atreus looked at Kratos with some resentment.

"Boy..."

"Let's find a way to get out of here, father."

. . . . . .

"He's really bold. He wants to offend Kratos? Aren't you afraid that he will tear you to pieces when he gets angry?" Zhang Yi said as he opened the portal.

"What? I helped his son deal with the enemy when he was away. How could he chop me up in front of his son?"

"If this happened in the past, it might have been... "

You have to know that Kratos was a complete madman before. His eyes were blinded by the unstoppable "Rage of Sparta" and hatred for the gods. Coupled with repeated betrayals, he would chop off any passing dog.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Did you get the sample of [Light of the World]?"

"I got it." Leman Russ said, and took out the two containers containing the [Light of the World]. However, one of the glass containers had been emptied at some point, and the other transparent stone container only had a faint light. "Leaking?"

"It looks like it's leaking, but that's normal." Zhang Yi said. "Hurry up and give it to the dwarf, or it will leak out."

"Not for... the oil man?" Leman Russ thought for a while and asked.

"This thing is a magic item. The oil guy has developed a lamp. It's better to give insurance to the dwarves."

"Then I have to ask the dwarves to enchant my axe. You don't know, the last time I threw it, I almost threw it wrong. I thought I couldn't get it back."

"Are the properties of your weapon duplicated?"

"whatever."

Newly developed star zone - Normans planet

This is the first colony established by Bananak in this star region. After so much development, it has begun to take shape.

In addition, he was lucky enough to find a forging world that had been disconnected from the Empire for a long time, and after some bargaining and discussion, he successfully obtained the allegiance of this forging world.

In addition, there is a newly established religious world in his territory, where the new state religion has taken root and developed, spreading the gospel of the empire in this dark star region.

But things are not always smooth sailing. A dormant Necron tomb world was discovered in his territory, and he has reported the matter. Recently, several Necron ships have arrived nearby, but due to all this, the exploration and development of that area has come to a halt.

On the other side, signs of Dark Eldar activity were discovered near several planets on the edge of his territory.

Although Commorra has fallen, there are still many Dark Eldar troops wandering around in the real world. They are all fleets that were not there when Commorra fell. They have lost their homes... It seems that they have not been affected much?

The Dark Eldar themselves are also a race that plunders everywhere, and some of their fleets may not return to Commorra in the Webway for years or even decades. Especially now that Slaanesh himself has been sealed, they no longer have to worry about having their souls sucked away, so they find all kinds of ways to have fun - the destroyed Commorra is an example.

There aren't many Dark Eldar fleets in the newly developed areas, but there are quite a few of them. The most important thing is that they are very cautious. They move to another place after firing a shot, and only pick on the weak.

The naval fleet of the Human Empire has launched several encirclement and suppression operations against them, but the results have not been ideal. After all, the Dark Eldar fleet has an advantage in mobility.

But this was not Bananak's biggest headache. What worried him was that when he once again reported to the imperial authorities, hoping that they would think of a solution, they actually sent an Eldar frigate over.

Yes, an Eldar Veratrum-class frigate filled with Eldar warriors followed an Inquisition ship to the newly opened star zone, claiming to be providing them with assistance.

As a well-established Imperial merchant, he was quite restrained in not ordering his ships to open fire on the Eldar ships on the spot, and this was just the beginning.

The inquisitor who came was an old acquaintance of Zhang Yi - Flo Martin (the one who stopped Zhang Yi for questioning at the beginning). He brought the Emperor's will to Bananak, a wandering merchant in this star region.

This was a rare joint cooperation, and Bananak needed to temporarily put aside his prejudice and hatred towards other races, and cooperate with the Eldar representatives who came to deal with the problem of the Dark Eldar who were roaming and plundering in his territory.

At the same time, he was also asked to investigate the hidden issues behind this - this matter may not be as simple as imagined.

The Inquisitor Corps came here to supervise and mediate. As the first Inquisitors to follow Zhang Yi around the world, their attitude and methods of dealing with aliens can be said to be the most "advanced". Even though they have not let go of their prejudice against aliens, they no longer have the attitude of "shoot first and ask later".

In this situation, even though he was extremely reluctant, Bananak had no choice but to accept it and prepare to meet the Eldar warlord who came to help them.

Even if the other party is an alien race, the Eldar and the Human Empire have signed an alliance. At least on the surface, they are allies, and the open struggles have all ended (here only refers to Evelyne's faction). If something goes wrong in this meeting, it will be an international/racial incident, which a wandering merchant cannot afford.

For this reason, Bananak arranged enough pomp for this meeting. He received the Eldar troops in the same way as he received the local nobles and naval commanders. While showing their goodwill, financial resources and military force, he also warned them not to have any bad intentions.

The Eldar transport ship slowly descended under the aim of several anti-aircraft guns. An entire company of Astra Militarum soldiers stood on both sides of the landing site, serving as both a guard of honor and a security team.

Si Zhan, who showed the way for the Eldar, walked down from the transport plane wearing gorgeous yet functional armor, followed by two war wizards and several ordinary Eldar guards, and finally...

"What are you looking at?" Wu Mo, a Space Marine from the Pathfinders, was walking at the end. He said to Bananak, who looked like he had seen a ghost, and the Eldar Warmaster, who also looked like he had seen a ghost. "You have any objections?!"

"Is it not okay to miss your stop on the ride?!"

599. One after another

Wu Mo's appearance here was completely unexpected.

The story began some time ago. As one of the best fighters in the entire [Pathfinder] regiment, apart from his normal training, his favorite thing was to look for people to fight everywhere.

He has provoked all of them, from the brothers in the Pathfinders, the Space Marines of other chapters, to the powerful Lizardman veterans; to the monsters in the Monster Hunter world, the weakened Warp Demons in the XCOM world, and the self-proclaimed gods in the Darkest Dungeon world.

Especially in the world of Darkest Dungeon, when those adventurers were looking for and hunting those gods according to the instructions and requirements of the Human Empire, Wu Mo, as the most warlike one, would often get involved.

Just like the time when Leonard led the team to wipe out the existence called [Boiling Sigh (Lung Dragon)]. Due to incorrect intelligence and the fact that the team had suffered serious damage in the previous journey, when the team was about to be wiped out, Wu Mo appeared in front of the team like a god sent from heaven (in various senses), and with its breath full of blasphemy and shock, he chopped [Boiling Sigh (Lung Dragon)] into lung slices - and then he was dragged away by Kerr who arrived later.

Because his actions were not authorized, [Boiling Sigh (Lung Dragon)] has other abilities besides those known in the game, such as stirring up strong winds, reducing the oxygen content in a certain area, and even directly vacuuming that area, and this is not a supernatural ability!

Although the ability of [Boiling Sigh (Lung Dragon)] to create this vacuum is supernatural, the method is completely scientific - take a deep breath to inflate both lungs, and then there will be a long-lasting strong wind.

Yes, being able to blow away all the air in an area in one breath, this lung capacity is unscientific, but what it blows out is just gas, right?

After receiving this news, Wu Mo, who was originally planned to be sent to help, was urgently called back. After all, when it comes to non-supernatural aspects, the combat effectiveness of most of the Pathfinder Space Marines is actually not that good (too young, with relatively little and single combat experience). However, Wu Mo directly hung up the communication and asked the transport plane pilot to continue.

Then as mentioned before, Wu Mo jumped directly from the transport plane, and with the help of the jet pack, he inserted the power sword in his hand into one of the lungs of [Boiling Sigh (Lung Dragon)] flying in the air, and forcibly pulled it to the ground, while stopping its ongoing exhalation.
