Warhammer 40 A New Hope

This was extremely dangerous. Although Wu Mo finally defeated the enemy with his superb fighting skills, it was still an act of disobedience. After being captured by Kerr, his movements were restricted and his chance to travel to other worlds for a period of time was cancelled.

Wu Mo was really frustrated at this. Although he could find brothers from his own regiment to practice with, he had been with him for so long that he knew his personality. It was okay once or twice occasionally, but who could stand it if it kept happening?

Under such circumstances, Wu Mo, during a communication with the elves, found a place and publicly invited the elves warriors present to a duel.

The Eldar are proud and arrogant, and this has not changed much even after reaching an alliance with humans. When Wu Mo invited humans to a duel, most Eldar warriors simply viewed this as a noisy monkey. Some Eldar warriors also accepted Wu Mo's invitation to a duel, hoping to teach this Space Marine a lesson and demonstrate the power of the Eldar.

But when Wu Mo knocked down the Eldar warrior he was facing three times in three minutes, the nature of this duel changed - this kid came to challenge!

Yes, compared to those veteran Space Marine chapters, most of the Pathfinders lack sufficient battlefield experience and combat skills, but not all of them are like this. Wu Mo is an exception. You know, he has been suspected by the Inquisition many times of having a connection with Khorne.

When the exchange group discovered this problem and reported it, Wu Mo had already defeated nearly a dozen Eldar warriors by himself, including two war wizards and a careless war commander.

When Chapter Captain Kerr personally led a team of Pathfinder Space Marines to capture people, Kerr was fighting against an Eldar Death Soldier holding a Clive broadsword. The helmets of both sides were knocked off. Wu Mo's somewhat crazy face and the Death Soldier's equally bloodthirsty and excited expression were seen by everyone present.

Then? After Kerr shouted and was seen by Wu Mo, he pushed the female Death Army warrior who was fighting with him fiercely in front of him and ran away!

His previous opportunity to go to another world was cancelled for a long time because of his unauthorized actions. If he was caught again now, he would probably be hung on the tallest building in Macragge to dry!

In order to avoid being dried up by the wind, Wu Mo ran directly to an Eldar ship. He originally planned to wait for the storm to pass and then find a safe Empire planet to do something while waiting for Kerr to calm down. However... the ship left and eventually sailed to the newly developed star zone.

Now, as the lord of the newly developed star zone and the Eldar warlord who brought Wu Mo here, he needs to start worrying about this problem...

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Bananak had a headache and was very regretful - he regretted why he had made such a big fuss, so much so that when Wu Mo walked out with the Eldar Foreign Ministry team, almost all the nobles under his command saw this scene.

"This is definitely the worst day of my life." Bananak said, covering his face.

What is the Pathfinders? They are the personal guards of the new emperor of the human empire, equivalent to the existence of the imperial guards (here refers to the level), they represent the will and attitude of the emperor (in some ways, this is not wrong).

Yes! Now the human empire wants to make friends with the alien races that they fought to the death before, and this is not just lip service, but the corresponding policies are really being implemented.

Bananak did receive a corresponding notice asking him to try to contact the alien races, but this wandering merchant originally planned to develop his own territory as before, and slightly relax the treatment of the alien races in the treaty - not seeking merit but avoiding mistakes. It would be best to wait for professionals to come and carry out this action, and he would just do it according to his orders.

But now, because everyone witnessed Wu Mo walking out of the Eldar transport ship, his plans were completely disrupted.

That's the Emperor's personal guard! He represents the will and attitude of the new Emperor! He just stepped off the alien ship, what does that mean? !

Ordinary people would have wild thoughts, and nobles would even take advantage of this to make a fuss. After all, some nobles did trade with foreign races. Previously, due to the imperial laws and the suppression of wandering merchants, such things could not be made public. But now...

Not to mention completely opening up trade with alien races, but it is almost certain that someone will use this to give him advice or put pressure on him. Maybe someone will incite ordinary people to legalize their shameful transactions!

While Bananak was having a headache, the Eldar warrior leading the team was also having a headache - where had this big guy been hiding before? !

As a race that excels in psychic powers, some powerful Eldar psykers are able to shake mountains. They can even extract energy from the warp to create things out of thin air. Psychic powers have dominated every aspect of Eldar life. Some Eldar are better at using their senses to observe the world and are better at using psychic powers to perceive everything.

And that's exactly the case, but when Wu Mo, the supernatural insulator, hid on their ship, they didn't discover him at the first time, and the stealth equipment and a little stealth technology he carried allowed him to hide until now.

However, there are also some other factors involved. The female Death Army Eldar who stopped fighting Wu Mo halfway actually discovered Wu Mo's existence, but for some personal reasons, she did not confirm it and regarded it as a normal malfunction on the ship.

The enemy's imperial guards swaggered down from their own ship in front of so many people.

There is already chaos on the planet of the Human Empire, and the same is true on our side. After all, there have been the rumors about Zhang Yi and Aisha, and Guilliman and Everene. Many Eldar have quarreled more than once about whether they should communicate normally with the 'monkeys (humans)' or even go further - the most annoying thing is that there are those Dark Eldars who are fanning the flames!

The Rogue Traders and the Eldar War Master were having a headache, and Inquisitor Flo Martin, who received the news, was also feeling uncomfortable.

He knew the "uniqueness" of the Pathfinders, and it was this uniqueness that allowed the human empire to change and begin to progress, rather than continue to perish.

O'Neill, who was in hiding, told these people in the new Inquisition to accept the changes brought by Zhang Yi and help him improve and refine these changes and correct the mistakes so that the human empire could make better progress.

But based on the experience of working with Zhang Yi for so long, this is not easy - Zhang Yi and his offspring always bring them surprises and shocks.

The best option in the current situation is to send Wu Mo back immediately. After all, the Pathfinders are one of Chaos' priority targets. In this remote star region far away from Macragge, Wu Mo's situation is undoubtedly very dangerous.

That being said, Zhang Yi is busy now, and even if he uses the Eldar's webway to rush back, it will take a lot of time, and it will also affect their actions to assist and supervise Bananak. During this period, the Dark Eldar will undoubtedly cause huge damage to the newly developed star region.

In summary, what should we do?

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

There is one more chapter～

600. The Dark Eldar's Plan

Wu Mo's matter has been reported, and Kerr is leading his team to attack them. However, even with the most advanced technology and borrowing the Eldar's webway, it is estimated that it will take about a month to arrive.

During this period, Wu Mo can only stay in the newly developed star area temporarily.

If it were just that, it would be fine, but Wu Mo is a man who can't sit still. This alone makes it impossible for Bananak to keep him here - who knows what kind of trouble will arise if he keeps him here!

The matter of the Dark Eldar can no longer be delayed, as many merchant ships have reported that they have been attacked. In this situation, Bananak can only take Wu Mo with him to deal with the matter.

As for what kind of trouble the nobles in his territory will cause, we can only wait and see...

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

According to the history of the Eldar, the Dark Eldar who would skin and pull out the skin of people for no reason and who were as good as Slaanesh should be the orthodox Eldar.

Before the Fall of the Eldar, most of the Eldar were trapped in the illusion that the Eldar Empire was invincible (although the Eldar Empire at that time was indeed invincible). They began to indulge in unrestrained enjoyment, killing and madness, which was also the reason for the emergence of Slaanesh.

Only a very small number of far-sighted Eldar, who were considered heretical and worrying by most Eldar, saw the coming disaster and built the so-called "Eldar Ark" to avoid the destructive scream when Slaanesh was born.

To sum up, although white bean sprouts look more normal, more organized and orderly, judging from the social status of the Eldar Empire at that time, black bean sprouts are the orthodox descendants of the Eldar Empire - the same has been true from the past to the present.

Ironically, the Dark Eldar, who had learned nothing from the Fall of the Eldar, found Commorragh as their new home in the Webway, while the vast majority of ordinary Eldar could only wander around on their arks (there were also some wild Eldar who had almost completely given up technology and were living like savages on some isolated planets. But in fact, these barbaric Eldar could quickly 'Catachanize' their own planets if necessary).

Now that Commorragh has fallen, because of the Dark Eldar's extravagant and unbridled enjoyment again, only a very small number of people fled to [Nuwenus] and accepted the protection of the Army of Death, but even so, those who lost their homes once again, and some of the Dark Eldar who survived by chance by wandering in the real world, still did not learn any lessons.

In their view, the fall of Comoros was not their problem, it simply meant that they needed to find another place to build a new Comoros.

Now that the threat of Slaanesh has disappeared, they don't need to worry about having their souls sucked away. At the same time, the Chaos forces in this world have fallen into a period of depression because their respective gods have been sealed.

In other words, there are not so many restrictions on the selection of the location of the new Comoros.

It's nice to see the human territory here.

. . . . . .

Using the Eldar Webway, Bananak and the Eldar frigate reached the wreck of a merchant ship earlier than expected, but even so, when they arrived, only the wreckage of the ship remained on the auspex.

Bananak immediately ordered a landing party to search the wreckage of the ship (this is the normal procedure, how can the Rogue Merchants do everything themselves), but based on the initial search results, there was no survivor, and the search team also suffered heavy losses due to the traps left by the Dark Eldar.

The first round of searching was fruitless, and the accompanying Eldar frigate sent its own troops on board. As fellow Eldar, they had a better understanding of the Dark Eldar and could more easily discover hidden information.

After the Eldar troops boarded the wreckage of the Human Empire ship, they found that there were very few corpses on the entire ship. Most of the humans had been captured, including some unconscious and insensitive servitors that the Dark Eldar had ignored before.

Although it is normal for the Dark Eldar to capture slaves, for a race that is bloodthirsty, has a strong taste, and uses assassination as a daily routine, it is absolutely impossible to live without slaves. When Slaanesh is still around, the Dark Eldar without the protection of the Soul Stone also need to torture others to gain extreme emotions to offset the absorption of their souls by Slaanesh.

But the problem is, now that Slaanesh has been sealed, all the Eldar no longer need to worry about this, so why do the Dark Eldar still capture so many slaves?

Yes, given the nature of the Dark Eldar, their behavior would not change even without the threat of Slaanesh, but raising slaves requires food and space. Even if they need slaves for entertainment and work, the number is a bit too much. You have to know that Commorra no longer exists, and buying and selling slaves has become very difficult.

Theoretically, the Dark Eldar should have controlled the slaves to a sufficient number by now. In their estimation, the wreckage of this human ship should be filled with Dark Eldar's 'artworks', but this is not the case. There are very few corpses in the ship, even fewer than normal.

This was very wrong, so later, the Eldar troops who came to aid the Human Empire inquired about the situation of the human merchant ships and bases that had been attacked before, and the response they got was similar to what they saw now.

Some veterans and high-ranking officials who had seen the Dark Eldar or had dealt with them also realized the unusualness of this attack. In the past, when the Dark Eldar attacked human strongholds or merchant ships, they would spend a lot of time torturing the people on board, creating horrific "artworks" in various ways. Often, even after the main force had left, a small number of Dark Eldar would remain there to continue their pursuit and torture.

But the situation during this period was different. Their attacks were very swift and they killed people with one strike. After they succeeded, they immediately captured everyone they could and then evacuated immediately, leaving no one behind.

If it weren't for the fact that the wounds on the few bodies were clearly caused by Dark Eldar weapons, the people of Bananak wouldn't even be able to tell that they were done by the Dark Eldar, which was totally uncharacteristic of them.

The ordinary Eldar who came to support also admitted this. According to their understanding, this was completely inconsistent with the style of their cousins ​​- there were too few corpses and it was too normal.

"You mean to say that the Dark Eldar in my territory are capturing slaves on a large scale?" Bananak said, looking at the report in his hand.

"According to our previous investigation results and data, as well as the information provided by the Eldar... allies, yes." Bananak's senior advisor replied. "Although I don't know why, it is true that the despicable aliens wandering in the newly developed star regions are capturing slaves on a large scale. In order to obtain enough slaves, the Dark Eldar have begun to suppress their 'instincts'."

"why?"

"Our officers were unable to come up with a reasonable explanation, but our Eldar allies gave us... very bad news..."

"The Dark Eldar wish to establish a new permanent settlement to replace the fallen Commorragh."

As mentioned before, the Dark Eldar's inaction once again led to the fall of Commorragh. The small cities around it were also completely submerged by the demonic forces of Khorne and Slaanesh not long ago. The Dark Eldar are now rootless.

Indeed, some Dark Eldar were very pessimistic about this and began to learn from previous lessons, but there were still a considerable number of Dark Leaders who thought this was unimportant. They even thought it was an opportunity, an opportunity to become the new leader of the Dark Eldar.

In the past, class changes within the Dark Eldar had been very rapid. Newly emerged lords would kill the old lords to take the throne, and then they might be killed and usurped by others before they could even get a chance to rest. This made the Dark Eldars extremely wary of other people and they did not trust anyone, even the higher-level beings.

Asdubar Victor, who went through a series of experiences from being a slave to becoming the lord of Comoros, other Dark Eldar only had awe, fear and greed for his position towards him, but there were only a few who could really threaten his position. Other weak Dark Eldar lords might be killed by him if they showed any sign of coveting his position.

But things are different now. Commorros is gone, and those powerful Dark Eldar leaders are basically dead. The entire Dark Eldar leadership has begun to reshuffle, and everyone has a chance, a chance to become a superior!

"They want to build their city in the human empire, in my territory?!" Bananak roared angrily. "Are you sure?!"

"Several of our senior officers believe that this is quite possible, and they (referring to the Eldars who came to help humans) have also informed the Dark Eldars on the planet [Nuwenus] of this possibility to further confirm its possibility." Bananak's senior advisor felt that this must be the most times he had talked about alien races. "But if this is true, then a war that sweeps across the entire newly developed star zone could start at any time."

"You are right." Bananak calmed down and said, "We need to warn our people and let them prepare accordingly."

"I have edited the corresponding files. The Astropath can inform everyone in the newly developed star region of this information at any time so that they can be prepared to deal with the enemy."

"This is not enough," Bananak said. "We can't just sit there and wait for the enemy to come to us."

"The reason why they want to capture humans at all costs is probably because they want to form a large slave army. This also shows that their own military strength is not sufficient."

"We can find them, take the initiative and attack them, divide them before their forces gather together, minimize our losses, and even prevent the war from happening!"

"Your wisdom is admirable, my lord, but how are we going to carry out this great plan?"

"Well... arrange a meeting for me that is appropriate for my status, my senior advisor."

"I need to communicate further with those...Eldar allies."

601. Attack

The Eldar don't like the human empire's enclosed metal warships, they would feel oppressed on them (this was clearly stated by Douya's teammate in the Rogue Trader game).

Therefore, it was obviously not a good idea to receive their Eldar allies on Bananak's own ship. If they wanted to get this communication off to a good start, they had to first cater to their needs, or at least not make the other party feel uncomfortable from the beginning.

This was the first time that Bananak had to try to please the aliens. Before, accepting their weapons was the limit for him, but now...

As mentioned before, even though the Human Empire has announced the end of its hostility with the Eldar, this only applies to the Eldar led by Evelyne. There are still many Ark Eldar, Wild Eldar and Dark Eldar who do not recognize this alliance.

This also makes it impossible for the Human Empire to make large-scale changes. On the one hand, it is because the prejudices and hatreds that have existed for so long are not so easy to let go. On the other hand, there are not many Eldar who are willing to let go of the past and live in peace with humans. They are mainly concentrated near [Nuwenus].

In order to ensure the smooth progress of this meeting, Bananak even went to a black market merchant with whom he had done business before and bought some books about the Eldar to learn what he needed to pay attention to when communicating with the Eldar. He also spent a lot of money to buy some Eldar handicrafts as gifts.

The meeting place was chosen to be a primeval forest planet in his territory. The beautiful scenery and well-preserved environment there made it a good travel destination in this star region. Many imperial nobles came back here to enjoy the natural scenery.

As a wandering trader and the ruler of this star zone, Bananak specially marked out a piece of land on the planet, arranged everything on it in advance, and then extended an invitation to the leader of the Eldar support force, who called herself Matilda.

Nothing went wrong during this period. The other party gladly accepted his invitation, landed on the planet and started the talks.

Matilda said that she could help Bananak's fleet search for and hunt down the Dark Eldar ships in their territory, but as a condition, when they discovered the enemy ships, they could not launch an attack directly, but had to let them communicate first.

Of course, they (the Eldar) are not just waiting to be attacked. If the other party opens fire first without any reason, then they will do as they please.

But even so, it undoubtedly handed the initiative of the battle to the opponent. For the fleet of the Human Empire, it was equivalent to being hit before counterattacking. In the Warhammer world, doing so could easily turn a battle that was originally sure to win into a dangerous one.

Bananak tried to change this condition, such as handing over all the Dark Eldar captured later to them, but it was obvious that Matilda wanted to keep as many of her people as possible.

"I can't sacrifice the Empire's soldiers for the Eldar in vain!"

"This is my bottom line! I need you to give us a plan!"

On this point, they had a heated discussion, with both sides refusing to give in. One side said that it needed to be responsible for its subjects and warriors, while the other side wanted to bring back as many compatriots as possible, even if the other side might not want to go back.

The discussion between the two sides reached a deadlock as soon as it started. As a wandering merchant, Bananak couldn't just fall out with his ally of the Empire, while the other party obviously didn't want to destroy the hard-earned peace - Matilda wanted to say the word "monkey" but the words stopped in her mouth several times.

But one thing is certain, they all want to find the Dark Eldar and want to maintain this cooperation. Therefore, after discussion, both sides decided to temporarily suspend this meeting and both sides go back to think about it carefully.

When both sides decided to return to their respective ships, a message came from orbit.

Dark Eldar ships attacked them.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

"The second layer of armor has been penetrated and the hull is damaged!"

"Engine power dropped by 30%!"

"Turret No. 3 is destroyed! Fire needs to be put out!"

The sudden attack caught the human ships in orbit off guard. Even though they had an advantage in ship size and number, the humans still suffered heavy losses in the initial contact.

The Eldar Veratrum-class frigates that came to support warned the human ships in advance, which reduced their losses, and their timely support further reduced their losses.

However, in the short term, they still had no way to go to the ground to support their lord, the War Division, and according to the information fed back by the augury, a number of Dark Eldar landing ships had already gone to the surface of the planet, including a Talisman-class destroyer.

In this situation, another not-so-good news came - Wu Mo, a Space Marine from the Pathfinder Regiment, drove a transport ship down to the surface of the planet.
