Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"Calling [Bird's Nest], this is [Vulture], we have found a possible underground facility and are about to enter."

[[Bird's Nest] Received, follow-up troops will follow soon, stay alert]

The team entered the underground facility, and soon a huge room appeared in front of them, along with a large amount of rubble and bodies that were buried or crushed to death.

"A civilian bomb shelter?"

"It appears so, but the depth and structural strength of this air-raid shelter are insufficient to protect these people."

"There's a survivor here!"

Following the shout of one team member, the other members immediately became alert and rushed towards the direction of the sound with guns raised.

In the light of the flashlight, they saw a sturdy man kneeling in front of a large fallen rock. No matter how the special forces soldiers behind him shouted, he did not respond.

"A3, go cuff him!"

"Yes Captain."

At the command of the leading captain, a special forces soldier stepped forward and was about to handcuff the man's hands. However, the next second, the sturdy man suddenly seemed to grab something, and then everyone saw A3's head flying out like a football.

"The Prophet is right..."

"You don't know what mercy is..."

"You are the devil!"

658. Planting the seeds of disaster

In the history of human beings or some intelligent life forms, the birth and use of gunpowder can be said to have brought war to another level.

In the past, the main combatants were humans. No matter how good the cold weapon equipment was, it still needed humans to use and wield it. The same weapon would play different roles when given to a martial artist and an ordinary person. Cold weapons could only help people kill better, but it was still humans who actually carried out the action.

The emergence of gunpowder and a series of hot weapons broke this point. Gradually, people were no longer important. Even children who had never been exposed to guns before could quickly get the hang of guns and use them to kill their own people, regardless of whether the opponent was a child like him or a veteran soldier who had experienced many battles.

'Everyone is equal under the .50 caliber'. Hot weapons have replaced cold weapons and gradually replaced the situation where wars are dominated by people. Missiles, drones, and fully automatic firearms, any one of them can send others to death without seeing them.

Cold weapons have been basically eliminated in modern warfare. This is the cutting edge of most people. Although most soldiers will carry a dagger or something with them, it is no longer the main force in combat.

But now, what this special forces team from Country C is experiencing is challenging their long-held beliefs.

First, A3's head was hit off by the survivor in front of him, and then his body began to swell like a balloon.

The bullets hit the man's body just like they hit the armored plates of a tank. The rocks that fell from the previous bombing were like footballs to him and he kicked them far away.

"Keep firing and retreat! Keep firing and retreat!"

Bang bang bang－－!

Ding ding ding－－!

boom--!

Like the Eagle Sauce soldier being chased by the Hulk, the now-changed survivor chases the remaining Special Forces soldiers, trampling everything in his path.

"Calling [Bird's Nest]! We are being chased by the enemy! Heavy enemy!" the captain shouted into the radio in his hand. "We are about to leave the underground facility, let the troops prepare to meet the enemy."

[[Bird's Nest] Received. A jeep and anti-tank team are waiting for you outside.]

Dozens of seconds later, the special forces team rushed out of the underground defense facility and met with the people who were waiting outside. But when they turned around to deal with the enemy, there was suddenly no response from below.

The anti-tank team that came according to the order was a little confused. After all, a "tank" hidden in such a small civilian air defense was a bit magical.

Before they could ask their questions, the ground suddenly began to shake, and then a giant Khan over two meters tall broke out of the ground and directly overturned the only jeep equipped with a heavy machine gun on the scene.

"He's behind!"

With someone's exclamation, the 'heavy enemy' mentioned by the special forces team appeared before them, shocking their perceptions.

The anti-tank team member closest to the jeep was grabbed by the enemy and swung like a weapon, hitting the other people closest to him.

Another member of the anti-tank team was knocked to the ground by his teammate. The man holding the anti-tank weapon was about to aim the weapon at the giant that suddenly appeared, but was knocked to the ground by his teammate who had been severely twisted.

"You need to pay the price!"

Bang bang bang!

The sound of gunfire rang out again, but just like before, the light firepower in the hands of the survivors could not cause any effective damage to the giant in front of them, and at most could only interfere with him.

"Throw the grenade!"

Several high-explosive grenades were placed at the man's feet, followed by a series of explosions.

However, when the smoke cleared, the giant was still standing there intact.

Seeing this, another grenade was thrown at him, but was caught by the other party.

But this time, the grenade thrown was not a lethal grenade.

A dazzling light appeared in his hand, and the sudden light forced him to close his eyes. In this short period of tens of seconds, the captain of the special team quickly slid past the artillery fire beside him to the fallen anti-tank rocket launcher, picked it up as quickly as possible, and aimed it at the giant not far away.

Whoosh—boom!

The anti-tank rocket launcher aimed at armored vehicles and light tanks exploded on the giant, and this time it was finally no longer completely useless.

The firepower of modern technology is still considerable. The giant, who had suffered almost no damage before, was no longer as flexible as before after taking this blow and began to shake.

"You guys...you guys..."

When the smoke from the explosion cleared, the giant, whose upper body's internal organs and bones could be seen, slowly walked towards the captain of the special forces team, still cursing.

"You... are the devil..."

thump!

The more than two-meter-tall giant fell down, and a fire with no source ignited from his body, turning his entire body into ashes within tens of seconds.

After he fell, a primitive iron hammer appeared in the ashes, and cracked and shattered on the ground under the captain's gaze.

[Calling [Vulture], please report the current situation]

"...This is Vulture..."

"We are still alive, two people died and one was seriously injured, the vehicle was destroyed, and the enemy has been eliminated."

. . . . . .

Somewhere in Country E

The unknown mechanical device in front of him made a roaring sound. After a while, a small pistol emerged from it, and the symbol of Tzeentch flashed on it.

"Successful experiment~" said the incarnation of Tzeentch, who was called 'The Prophet' by others, looking at the pistol that was spit out. "This will remove me from the center of the incident."

The new pistol was placed on a stand nearby, and next to it were several guns of different sizes and models.

On the other side, a large number of cold weapons were piled up in disorder. When you get close to them, you can smell a very obvious smell of blood and sulfur.

"This world does not support the existence of the subspace. Without opening the gate, our existence will gradually be weakened due to the distance from the gate."

"If the gate is closed, the subspace creatures that don't have time to return will even disappear... It's really scary~"

"However, if we put the devil or part of the devil into weapons, vehicles or other living things, at the cost of losing freedom and limiting power, we can exist in this world for a long time..."

"I don't know much about making the Demon Engine." The Prophet looked at the huge unknown machine in front of him and said, "But fortunately, I got a lot of good stuff from Vashtor before, which can be used in this test~"

"Humans always like to touch those things that they can't control, don't they?"

At this time, a young man came in and walked to the side of the 'prophet' in the dim light.

"'The Prophet'...are you crying?"

"Yes, child..." The voice and tone of the prophet suddenly changed, becoming an old and kind voice. "Because we have to touch the taboo...

. "

"We will be cursed! For breaking the seals of the hoodoos! And even using them!"

"It's not your fault, Prophet!" the young man said. "It's the invaders! It's their fault! They were the first to invade our land, massacre our compatriots, and rob our resources!"

"This is their fault! They started it!"

"And... we volunteered..." the young man said, lowering his head. "If being cursed can save our country, then I am willing..."

"We all are willing."

"It's our choice."

"...Alas..." The 'Prophet' sighed and looked at the unknown mechanical device again. "Humans, we are obviously of the same race, and we are obviously brothers..."

"But they keep fighting and killing each other for various reasons..."

"It has always been like this, and it has never changed."

With that, the 'prophet' walked up to the young man and placed his hand on his shoulder.

"If possible, stay alive, for yourself, for your family, and to let more people know and stay away from this taboo..."

"May the God of wisdom bless you."

659. Poison and Plague

Warhammer World, a planet

A rare archipelago world, 80% of the planet is ocean, 20% is land, and of this scarce land, only about 10% is habitable.

But none of these have prevented this place from becoming a prosperous world. Thanks to the unique construction technology found on the planet, the scarce land area has not hindered their development. In addition to the typical imperial buildings built on solid land, there are also many buildings built underwater and extending all the way up into the universe.

As a world with mixed industries, this vast ocean gives them huge capital for development. The rare seafood and seabed minerals are the main export products of this planet. At the same time, the rare planetary environment also makes this place the only choice for many imperial nobles to travel or seek excitement.

It is no exaggeration to say that this planet is one of the rare "treasures" under the human empire.

But now, this precious planet has turned into a huge "poison".

Not long ago, this planet was still a very normal world. Although the nobles there lived a slightly corrupt life, it was generally normal. Now, this planet has become a possession of the Slaanesh demons.

The Inquisition's fleet arrived late, and after witnessing the madness, extravagance, and blasphemy on the planet, they had no choice but to sign an extermination order - the planet had been completely contaminated by demons.

When several whirlwind torpedoes fell from the sky, they passed through the ocean that had become intoxicating and crazy, and smashed into the crust of the planet. Under the scorching heat, the sea water was evaporated, the earth was pierced, and flames began to purify this planetary-level "dump".

This precious planet was destroyed, just like countless others that the Inquisition had purified before.

Seeing the planet before their eyes turned into a wasteland, the people present couldn't help but start to think about a question - what kind of existence could corrupt this planet in such a short time?

You should know that an Inquisitor had visited this planet not long ago. This level of commercial and entertainment center is the most likely to breed chaos, so from time to time an Inquisitor would come to inspect to ensure that this place still belongs to the Empire and that the people here are still loyal and pure.

The judge who came to investigate could guarantee that he had not abused his power for personal gain or accepted bribes, and that everything was done in accordance with formal procedures and regulations. He also arrested several people suspected of being chaotic and burned them to death in public - all of these were recorded.

Subsequent records and reviews of him confirmed that he was telling the truth, and at least when he reviewed it, everything was normal.

This means that in just a few dozen days, a demon of unknown origin corrupted someone in this world and eventually polluted the entire world.

Similar things have happened before, but judging from the time when they received the distress message, the entire planet was close to falling at that time - which means that the entire planet fell with almost no resistance.

Just as they were thinking about what was going on on the ruins of that planet and trying to collect some clues, a merchant ship that had recently departed from this planet happened to arrive at another planet.

"Dear Planetary Governor, I have brought you a small gift."

"Oh~ Our beloved Emperor has already announced that he will begin accepting 'friendly' and 'useful' demihumans. What's wrong with that?"

"Yes, this is just a 'harmless' rare 'sub-human'. She is suitable to be a beautiful exhibit."

After some communication, the curtain covering the goods was removed, revealing a large round fish tank with dreamy liquid flowing in it and a pink fish tail faintly visible in it.

"Hello..."

After hearing this voice, the planetary governor felt an inexplicable feeling of dizziness.

． ． ． Same planet, same time ． ．

Phew－－!

The sharp giant sword pierced a genestealer

's chest, nailing it to the metal wall, and then the scorching flames engulfed it.

A tall, dark figure stood among the deformed corpses on the ground, ignoring everything he had done.

"...Yes, Prince of Darkness, I can feel it..."

"The first step of my revenge begins with you!"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Outside the empire, on a wild Eldar planet

As part of the split of the former Eldar, these Eldar chose a completely different path.

Although in fact they can get a lot of high-tech gadgets to arm themselves and protect their planet whenever they want, most of the time they still live in a relatively primitive way.
