Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"I am willing to accept your request."

Once again, Evelyne sat down in front of Guilliman and resumed the discussion that had been interrupted.

The Eldar have been waiting for too long, and they urgently need a planet that can truly make them feel at ease. What Guilliman said before was right. If the Eldar are not cleaned up now, they will only pollute a beautiful world once again.

But as I said before, how can you ensure that the human troops responsible for cleaning up the disloyal Eldar will not take the opportunity to settle personal grudges?

Yes, that's right. If we let the Eldar themselves do it, there is a possibility that they will let some people go just because they are their compatriots, and then a lot of problems may arise later because of these people who were let go.

That is why it is very appropriate to let the humans who were enemies not long ago deal with them. Most humans who are still insane will definitely grind all those disobedient elves to ashes, and even those who say there is no problem may be dealt with by you 'in the meantime'.

Humans and the Eldar are now allies, but this relationship is not stable. Frictions between the two races occur from time to time. The Eldar have not completely let go of their pride and look at humans as equals, and humans have not completely let go of their previous hatred and live in peace with the Eldar.

She needs to establish a more stable relationship with the Human Empire to reduce the possibility of the two races becoming enemies again.

But, what should be done?

Increase cultural and commercial exchanges between the two ethnic groups? This is too slow, and both sides may not really be willing to do so.

Form a joint army to deepen the military relationship between the two tribes? It is true that a friend in need is a friend indeed, but the Eldar do not have many troops now, and Evelyne feels that people on both sides may not trust each other with their backs.

By giving away technology? Not to mention that most of the Eldar's technology depends on the Warp and their own powerful ability to control the Warp's energy. It is unlikely that the Eldar will hand over some core technologies. As for those marginal technologies, does the Human Empire, which has already connected with countless worlds, really value those technologies?

Thought

After much thought, there is only one way to promote the relationship between the two ethnic groups in the current situation - marriage.

Well, this isn't a good idea. It might work within the human empire, and it's often done between the nobles of the empire, but if it's between two races that were thinking about how to beat each other's brains out not long ago... it's not very reliable...

But for all the methods Eveleni can think of now, this is the only one that is relatively suitable. The only issue that needs to be solved is the selection of personnel.

Guilliman's expression was a little strange at this time. After such a long period of analysis, he also thought that if the Eldar really wanted to further consolidate their relationship with the Human Empire, marriage would become the most appropriate choice.

Moreover, the candidates for this marriage cannot be chosen randomly, but must be people who have a certain weight in the ethnic groups of both sides.

Currently, the only high-ranking officials in the empire who have good relations with the Eldar are Zhang Yi, himself, and...

"kindness..."

Guilliman pondered, knowing that he would most likely be beaten by his father later if he thought this way, but now he really needed to pay a price for his past romantic debts - it couldn't be him or his little brother, right? !

"I hope that the current Eldar can marry into the human empire to consolidate the relationship between the two sides." Evelyne said what Guilliman expected. "As for the candidate..."

"You are talking about Lord O'Neill and the old Eldar prophet, right?" Guilliman spoke first.

"If it's the two of them, that would be best, but if not..."

Hearing this, Guilliman immediately realized that something was wrong, but he didn't have time to stop Evelyne from saying the next word.

"You and I can do the same." Evelyne said calmly. "Anyway, the rumors about us have spread widely among our respective races."

"..."

Guilliman has a headache again...

655. Zhang Yi: What do you mean by that?

Guilliman and Evelyne. As mentioned before, because these two often cooperated and helped each other when their races were hostile to each other, some people made all kinds of speculations about the relationship between them (mainly because of Zhang Yi's misleading).

But the reality is that the two of them are just normal allies. Even though rumors are spreading because of Zhang Yi, the relationship between them is still normal.

After all, both of us are so busy that we don’t have time to think about those trivial things - I’m too busy to die.

Moreover, their identities and status prevent them from living the life of an ordinary person. Their fate will either be to die on the battlefield one day or to die in a targeted assassination. The best outcome is probably to work in this position until death.

But now, due to a series of coincidences, the original jokes and unfounded rumors seem to have the potential to become true...

At this moment, Guilliman tried his best to appear calm. He had anticipated this possibility, but did not want it to actually happen.

Evelyne didn't really care. For the Eldar to be able to truly get rid of the past and survive better, this was nothing. (If the Eldar were analogous to the ancient high elves, they might not really care about this kind of marriage)

“Let’s talk about this issue next time.” Guilliman held his forehead with his hand.

"I need some time to think about this."

. . . . . .

The discussion was interrupted again, but this time it was not about Evelyne's problem.

Guilliman needed to take some time to digest what had happened today and think about how to respond.

As for Evelyne, she needed to think about how to convince others - she had not told others about the marriage. After all, most of her compatriots would probably not agree and would react greatly.

When she returned to her room, Visage, her right-hand man, comrade, and her former superior (unbeknownst to Evelyne, he was her superior) was waiting for her.

"Don't you have anything to say, Evelyne?"

"...Are you questioning me?"

"You actually want to sacrifice yourself to get the help of those monkeys." Visage said. "Are you crazy?!"

"I am calm." Looking at her comrades in front of her, Evelyne said, "If the Eldar want to rise, they must establish good relations with the Human Empire."

"So you want to marry those monkeys? What do you think?!"

Savage liked Eveleene, and in order to help her, the Eldar Bishop even put down what he was doing and disguised himself as a dark Eldar god of death, secretly helping and protecting Eveleene who had also entered Comoros at that time.

However, Evelene did not know this, nor did she know that her good comrade was actually her former superior. She only regarded the person in front of her as her good friend and good comrade.

"You should be very clear about the current situation of the Eldar." Evelyne said. "Many of our compatriots have begun to relax and forget, or they have never realized that the Eldar are now in decline."

“And humans are rising, and we need their help and we need to have good relations with them.”

"So you plan to sacrifice yourself?" Visage said with anger and reluctance. "Our God has returned! Slaanesh has also been severely damaged. You should not belittle yourself..."

“If it weren’t for humans, we wouldn’t have

We may be able to save our goddess of life." Evelyne interrupted Visage. "If we hadn't hidden the power of the goddess of life, we might have to face the revenge of the god of despair now."

"The Death God we finally gave birth to also relied on the power of humans. The four Chaos Gods who are now silent were also sealed by humans. The Eldar had no help in this! (The Death God appeared at the last moment and almost destroyed the seal)"

"You and I should know that many of the things we have now were given to us by humans. And this time we can't turn against them after taking advantage of them like we did before. We must treat them as true allies."

"Both the facts and the prophecies show this. The fate of the Eldar must be tied to that of humans in order to rise and survive the subsequent disaster."

"You are not needed..."

"Friends." Evelyne interrupted Visage again. "We don't have much choice..."

"The Eldar are the weaker party now. Luck has favored humans and sent them a magical existence, giving them the opportunity and ability to develop rapidly."

"And the Spiritual Tribe currently doesn't have much to offer as bargaining chips. Even the so-called marriage alliance may not be something the other party is willing to accept."

"This is a necessary sacrifice for the entire Eldar race."

"I hope you support me."

"...I don't accept it!"

After saying that, Visage, who was dressed in red armor, took a few steps back.

"I won't accept this, I'll find another way!"

"I will save the Eldar, and I will save you too!"

The Empire of Man

"..."

Guilliman found O'Neill who had been hiding, and sat in front of him, and a strange silence fell between them.

This silence lasted for several hours. Both sides just sat there without anyone speaking first.

"So, what that kid said came true?" O'Neill spoke first.

"It's different from what he said, but it's almost the same..." Guilliman replied. "Evrenee and I are still just normal allies. The marriage she mentioned is just a political means."

"I know." O'Neill said. "Those were just jokes from that kid. I have no doubt that even if you two really got married, it would probably be no different from what it is now. You'd be busy with your own things, and only when you're busy would you remember that you have a husband/wife."

“．．．．．．．” Guilliman remained silent.

"The current Human Empire is not ready to accept such 'explosive' news. As the actual ruler of the Human Empire, you cannot have such a 'stain'."

"So?" Guilliman heaved a sigh of relief and raised his head slightly to look at O'Neill in front of him. "Should we continue? Or should we just change back?"

"..."

This time it was O'Neill's turn to remain silent. It was impossible to throw Guilliman out at this stage. O'Neill himself said that he would not confirm the dark history of the past.

It seems that the previous plan to establish good relations with the Eldar to suppress the Necrons has to be abandoned. After all, they can't think of any way to immediately deepen the relationship between the two races. As mentioned before, humans and the Eldar may not be willing to use other methods.

Humanity is thriving, but the Eldar are still in the recovery stage (and the recovery is getting slower and slower). Humans don't care about ordinary things from the Eldar, and the Eldar may not be willing to give important things like webway technology - this is embarrassing, isn't it?

So, should we abandon this "ally" and become hostile to the Eldar once again? After all, the Eldar are an unstable factor now, and no one knows what will happen to them in the future. If we cannot control them, we might as well destroy them.

"... Actually, if you want to rely on marriage, there is another candidate."

"kindness?"

"You know, some love-brained goddess and..."

"A certain special Primarch."

"kindness..."

. . . . . .

“Eh—”

Zhang Yi, who was supervising the research on the gods, suddenly shuddered. Then he looked around and saw that the Mechanicus and the dwarves were all busy with their own work. There was no problem.

"Why do I feel like someone is trying to trick me..." Zhang Yi muttered. "It should be an illusion, it should be..."

Wow--!

A strange muttering sound came from a research area, and several fishmen with mechanical devices on their bodies ran out. Several lightning bolts shot out from behind them, knocking them to the ground.

"I said that we should properly handle those monsters from Darkest Dungeon." Zhang Yi said as he looked at the fish-man monster that was knocked to the ground by the electric shock. "Even if there is only a little bit of the anti-type, it is very scary!"

"Over there, stealing materials from the dwarves has serious consequences!"

"The one with the Iron Crown sample, yes! You! If anything goes wrong with that thing in your hand, I'll bury you alive!"

"I'm really tired of all the sudden overtime!"

656. Plague Problem

The Warp - The Circle of Slaanesh

"She walked out~" said the Eldar-like being sitting on a human chair. "To be honest, I'm a little surprised~"

"The entire real universe has been unstable recently, my brother

It seems like the brothers can’t wait any longer~”

"In that case..."

"Pruella, you can go out now. Remember to say hello to my dear."

Following the direction in which she was speaking, a round fish tank filled with a dreamy liquid was placed there somewhat out of place, surrounded by a large group of Slaanesh demons with divine seals lying on the ground.

A tuft of white hair poked out from the huge fish tank, while a shimmering pink fish tail stretched out, and a timid voice came out from it.

"I know...I know, Sister Afulai..."

Warhammer, Real Universe

Several Grey Knights ships gathered together, along with several Inquisition ships.

A Nurgle plague suspected to be targeting the Eldar. This is extremely rare. After all, the Eldar population is small and not crowded, and the evil god Slaanesh treats them as his own property and catches them to eat, so Nurgle's plague usually does not target them (but it is still unlucky if they encounter it/there are records of Nurgle using the Eldar's Webway to spread the plague).

As for this discovery, the Grey Knights who made the discovery and the Inquisitors of the Tribunal who arrived later were not in a hurry to report the information further or inform their "allies".

The Eldar and humans are now allied, and there is nothing wrong with that. Although ordinary people and planetary governors in remote areas do not know about or recognize this alliance, the Inquisition and the Grey Knights have all been notified.

The same situation is true for the Eldar. As mentioned before, the only Eldar who recognize this covenant are the group on Nuvenus. There are a lot of Eldar who do not recognize Everenne's identity and status.

And this is why the Grey Knights and Inquisitors gather here.

Out of loyalty to the Empire and awe of the Emperor, the vast majority of the Imperial high-ranking officials accepted the seemingly heretical alien alliance that was completely contrary to their long-held beliefs. They were willing to give a highly likely useless "admonition" before taking action against the Eldar, but their hatred and resentment for the Eldar never subsided.

The Eldar are now allies, and for the sake of the overall situation he will not and cannot openly and indiscriminately massacre every Eldar as he did before. The relationship between the two races cannot be destroyed because of their hatred and prejudice that they cannot let go of for the time being.

Although most of the Eldar are now primitive people or refugees wandering around, if the two sides really go to war with the goal of completely destroying each other, the Human Empire can win, but it will definitely be a pyrrhic victory. As an existence that once ruled the galaxy, even if it has lost its former glory, it still has enough cards to tear off a piece of flesh from the enemy.
