Warhammer 40 A New Hope

Then, Zhang Yi turned on the communicator and tried to contact the other five people.

Sizzle, sizzle--

There was a noisy electric sound coming from the communication channel. It was obvious that the communicator could not be used for some reason.

"... The last time I encountered this kind of situation was last time."

"Calm down. My best option in this situation is to find a place to hide and try to restore communication and meet up with the others." Zhang Yi analyzed. "This is most likely the area ruled by the dark elves. Although they look good with the elves..."

"But these pointy-eared people have the same nature as the Dark Eldar - capturing slaves, blood sacrifices, and massacres."

"I have to find a place to hide quickly. I don't want to be caught by the black-skinned and pointy-eared man and chopped into pieces."

A few days ago

[City of the Sun] - [Hesiota]

Mazdamuddi, the meditative second-generation magic toad and lord of the City of the Sun, suddenly ended his sleep and summoned a battle-hardened giant lizard and a spirit lizard that was familiar with the surrounding terrain.

"Go find them. They are to the north of the Lost Gate." Mazdamuddi, wearing a golden official ornament, said to the giant lizards and skinks kneeling in front of him. "The aliens have arrived."

"Find them, and go with them to search for the lost prophecy tablets, and bring them back..."

"It's too early to give up now."

"All for the Big Plan!"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Here is an explanation of why we don't allow Space Marines/Astartes to follow the protagonist to the medieval world.

Because in fact, all Space Marines and Primarchs were created by absorbing the power of the Warp.

That is to say, in some ways, demons and space marines can be classified into the same category.

As for the super warriors of the Imperial Guards who are more powerful than ordinary Space Marines, if they go down, they may not attract the attention of the evil god, but they may also attract the attention of other things (such as Lilith), so it is not very suitable.

Of course, this is my opinion, don't criticize me if you don't like it

5. Dark Elf Slave Catchers

three days later

Zhang Yi himself didn't expect that he could survive in this dangerous and desolate wilderness for three days - thanks to the Star Army individual equipment package, the energy bars were not as bad as he had imagined.

It shouldn't be made of corpse starch or something...

During this period of time, Zhang Yi managed to contact Locke several times. They were all fine and were looking for the location of other members and themselves.

In response, Zhang Yi found a safe cave to live in.

He did not try to find the Lizardman town himself.

Putting aside the problem of direction, even if he found the right direction and didn't run into the Dark Elf town, the environment, which was comparable to some of the jungles of the Catachan home planet, would leave him completely dead - even if there were no toads that could deal with the armored Space Marines.

The best option now is to wait for others to meet up with me, and then find a way forward together, so that we can have someone to take care of us if anything unexpected happens.

During these three days, Zhang Yi reduced the need to go out as much as possible, hid in the cave, and tried to contact Locke and others from time to time.

However, the signal of the Empire's communication equipment in this area was very poor, and communication was intermittent.

After three days of boredom, Zhang Yi couldn't help it and decided to take a walk around and breathe some fresh air (even though it wasn't that clear).

In this area whose exact location is unknown, vegetation is sparse, the ground and surrounding rocks are mostly black, and the roads are rugged.

If Zhang Yi had not been forced to exercise for a period of time before, he would probably have fallen many times here while carrying his equipment.

"Thanks to the Emperor for the training..." Zhang Yi said as he sat on a big rock and looked at the distance. "It's so quiet, there's nothing nearby..."

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of footsteps, mixed with panting, getting closer and closer.

A skinny human man with chains on his hands was running away breathlessly, and behind him, three dark elves riding cold lizards were chasing and teasing the man slowly, like a cat playing with a mouse.

Phew!

Perhaps because he was running too slowly, the Cold Lizard Knight stabbed his back with the barbed spear in his hand, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground, gasping for breath.

Judging from the scars on his back and calves, he had been chased for some time and now he no longer had the strength to continue running away.

In response to this, Zhang Yi immediately decided to leave and hide in his cave to avoid being discovered by these dark elf cold lizard knights.

Indeed, he had a gun, and if things went smoothly, it would not be a big problem to kill these dark elf cavalry, but he did not think that the other side had only so many people.

Even with the help of high-tech firearms, he might not be able to escape unscathed when facing hundreds of dark elf troops.

Moreover, if the opponent has a decent dark elf assassin, his situation will become very dangerous.

So, he decisively chose to ignore the human slave who seemed to have failed to escape and chose to protect himself.

However, there was one small flaw in his plan...

Because, in his current body, he is not the only conscious being.

As the Son of the Stars, a fragment of the Emperor's soul, he is raging inside Zhang Yi's body because of what happened to the human being in front of him, and this anger is affecting Zhang Yi's actions.

"Calm down, calm down!" Zhang Yi used his consciousness to control his right hand, not wanting to pull out the heat ray hell pistol on his waist. "That man is already dead, there is no need for us to risk ourselves for a dying man!"

At this moment, amidst the laughter, the three Dark Elf Cold Lizard Knights seemed to have had enough fun. They watched as the leading Dark Elf Cold Lizard Cavalryman controlled his mount and walked in front of the man, with the spear in his hand raised.

"Save me! Your Excellency the Emperor!" The human male lying on the ground shouted hoarsely, using his last bit of strength. "Save your people!"

This man should be from the medieval human empire, and the emperor he is calling should be the current ruler of the human empire - Karl Franz.

His hysterical cries and prayers before his death had nothing to do with the Emperor on Holy Terra. The Emperor on the seat had even taught Zhang Yi before that it was necessary to be too soft-hearted at times.

But he was a human being, and he asked for help, he asked the emperor for help.

He couldn't refuse this request.

Also, he's not exactly that emotionless 'jerk'

Biu!

The scorching beam shot towards the dark elf, melting it instantly.

The remaining two Cold Lizard Knights immediately looked in the direction of the attack. They saw a human male wearing an unfamiliar lightweight armor sliding down a gentle slope, holding an unfamiliar weapon that was shooting orange beams of light at them.

Biubiubiu!

The Hell Pistol in Zhang Yi's hand kept firing, and Leng Lizard under the seat of a cavalryman was hit several times and fell to the ground.

The other cavalryman displayed the "good qualities" of the dark elves - he simply abandoned his companion, pulled the reins and turned around to run.

Zhang Yi would not watch her run away, so he immediately turned the gun and pointed it at her.

Biubiubiu!

The heat ray fired from the Hell Pistol directly hit the fleeing cavalryman's mount, and at this moment footsteps suddenly sounded on the other side.

The dark elf cavalryman who lost his mount first grabbed his spear and rushed towards Zhang Yi.

In response, Zhang Yi immediately pulled out his tactical dagger, deflected the spear tip, then turned sideways and knocked the enemy out, turning the muzzle of the Hell Pistol in his hand again.

Biu!

The single burst melted her breastplate and burned a large hole in her chest.

After dealing with the enemy who had ambushed him, Zhang Yi immediately turned around and looked for the escaped enemy.

She has already run away.

"This is a serious matter." Zhang Yi said, looking at the dead Cold Lizard lying on the ground not far away and the missing Dark Elf rider. "He really got away..."

"I know my marksmanship is not good, but I also said that it is very risky to rescue him!" Zhang Yi shouted to the "Son of the Star" in his mind. "He didn't call you! He called..."

"I...fuck you!"

After a conversation that seemed like split personality to outsiders, Zhang Yi walked up to the dying man and squatted down.

"Sigma... Your Excellency the Emperor... Did you hear my call..." He muttered to himself with his eyes blurred. "Did you come... to save me..."

Looking at the man in front of him, Zhang Yi felt extremely complicated.

Although he was reluctant to save him at first, he felt a little relieved when he actually saved him.

He just squatted down, and a soft light began to emanate from his body.

"You are safe now." Two voices intertwined and said to the man. "You can rest now."

"...Yeah..."

"Finally I can... take a break..."

In the soft light, the man closed his eyes with a gentle expression.

"Satisfied?" Zhang Yi said. "Me? I guess I am satisfied."

"Now we have to worry about the pursuers who may come after us soon. Even if you help me with more guns, I don't think I can fight against the dark elf slave-hunting team that may have hundreds of people."

At this moment, Zhang Yi raised his head and saw the cold lizard left by the first dark elf cavalryman who was killed not far away.

"...Don't even think about it! I will never ride that thing! I can't!"

"Even if it's a tamed cold lizard, you can't just ride it without proper training! And I've never even ridden a horse before!"

． ． ． A few dozen minutes later...

"Ahhhh!"

After successfully contacting the people on the other side, Zhang Yi tied the remaining food and other supplies to his body, and then he lay quietly on the rugged back, screaming loudly.

"I don't trust you, Emperor!"

Under the coercion and inducement of the Son of the Stars and the help of certain psychic powers, Zhang Yi somehow obeyed his words and rode on the cold lizard that did not escape, and began to escape.

Although his decision turned out to be correct, shortly after he successfully lay on the cold lizard's saddle and started to escape, a team of about ten cold lizard cavalrymen caught up with him.

"Is the Dark Elf Lord of a place like this so rich?! How can he have so many Cold Lizard Knights?! And he sent them all to chase me?!"

shhhhhhhh!

The crossbow arrow with blood grooves and barbs flew past Zhang Yi and nailed to the ground.

"I've never seen a Dark Elf Cold Lizard Crossbowman in the game! (The author himself hardly ever uses a Cold Lizard Crossbowman)" Zhang Yi held the Cold Lizard tightly under him, and did not forget to complain. "Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck!"

Then, Zhang Yi tried to take out the Hell Pistol and shoot at the pursuers behind him, but due to the bumpy ride, he missed.

At this time, the pursuers were getting closer and closer, and the crossbow arrows they shot were becoming more and more accurate.

puff!

Suddenly, with an imperceptible sound, a dark elf cavalryman closest to Zhang Yi suddenly fell off his horse (lizard?), braked suddenly, and then large pieces of rock fell behind him, slowing down the speed of the pursuers behind him.

"Eh?"

Zhang Yi looked towards the mountain on the right and seemed to see a tall figure just leaving.

"Who is it?" Zhang Yi was a little surprised. "Forget it, the most important thing now is to book a place quickly."

"I hope they are all ready..."

After the chase lasted for about ten minutes and arrived at a canyon, the dark elf cavalry once again closed the distance with Zhang Yi, with the crossbows in their hands ready to fire.

Biu!

A beam of blazing light hit one of the dark elves right in the head, burning it through.

"For·the·Emperor! Attack!"

"Wow ah ah!"

Wearing a breastplate and emitting a peculiar stench, the two or three meter tall Ogryn ape named Da Zhuang screamed as he ran down the mountain, firing bolter bullets at the dark elf cavalry below.

Captain Loken ran down the steep slope on the other side with a chainsword in one hand and a bolt pistol in the other.

Although there were only five of them, due to their advantages in weapons and terrain, the Dark Elf cavalry's charge was interrupted and then blocked in the valley.

But this is not what Zhang Yi should care about, because he now has to consider how to stop the cold lizard from sitting down.

You can't expect a horseman who has relied on the cold lizard to run around to control his mount well.

Although a well-trained Cold One should be able to control it by pulling the reins, but...

Now Zhang Yi doesn't dare to let go at all...
