Warhammer 40 A New Hope

Although he knew that this was the right approach, even before dying, these Warp creatures could still cause considerable trouble to the enemies in front of him before returning to the Warp - the elders who had completely disappeared were an example.

The battle was over. With the sacrifice of a large number of Astra Militarum, Lizardmen warriors and nearly half of the Space Marines, they won and saved the world from being further infected by demonic forces.

Thanks to the various differences between this world and the Warhammer world, it would not have been so easy to solve this problem.

The problem that needs to be solved next is no simpler than killing a demon.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

A city turned into a dead city and a large number of soldiers died.

But finally, all threatening enemies on the planet were cleared.

The elders reaped the fruits of their own actions and were devoured by demons. With the passing of the elders, there was no one to control and maintain the psychic network anymore. Mutant and alien forces everywhere fell into a brief period of chaos, and some places with weaker control even began to openly rebel.

It was obvious that the elders were unpopular, and now that they were dead, all kinds of dissatisfaction broke out.

Without the control of the elders, mutant soldiers everywhere were no longer a problem, and the indigenous human resistance took this opportunity to fully expose the evil deeds of the elders, bringing the resistance to an unprecedented climax.

Although some unwilling aliens or human lackeys are still trying their best to maintain this already shaky rule, they seem very powerless.

The XCOM commander's elders escaped and attempted to use their compatriots to establish a psychic network to control part of the enemy forces, further accelerating the process of global liberation.

After the demon annihilation war, Zhang Yi and others took a period of rest and counted the casualties.

One Space Marine was killed, one was seriously injured and would probably be placed in the Dreadnought, and one Space Marine who fell into the rift was rescued.

Harald's left eye is disabled and he needs to install a mechanical prosthetic eye. Captain Duke's condition is relatively good and he will be able to continue fighting after some treatment.

About half of the Astra Militarum and Lizardmen forces were killed, most of them in battles with the Daemon forces.

One tank was also damaged - after it stalled for unknown reasons, it was approached by a Chaos Egg, leaving a big hole in the front armor plate and breaking its tracks, requiring repair.

Other vehicles also needed to be repaired, but fortunately, a technologically advanced automatic mecha (robot) production line was taken over by Father Kadok, which temporarily made up for the shortage of troops and manpower.

Because of the appearance of demons, the review of all living things on the entire planet also needs to be put on the agenda, which will inevitably take a lot of time and manpower.

The ship was in good condition. Apart from some overload on the bombing part due to continuous high-power orbital bombardment, there were no other problems.

"The allocation of treatment for personnel, the mission requests of Space Marines, and further negotiation and communication with the indigenous resistance forces..."

Looking at the large amount of documents in front of him that required him to review or make decisions, Zhang Yi felt a headache.

Zhang Yi knew nothing about government affairs and hardly participated in them, but according to the procedures he was still required to take a look and stamp something.

After all, in some sense, he now needs to perform the duties of the Planetary Governor.

And this situation will continue for at least a year until the situation on the planet stabilizes.

"I suddenly miss those big guys without clothes..."

66. Failed Expedition

"Ah~ Even though I'm finally back, I can't be happy at all..."

The two frigates of the [Unknown Hope] were heading towards the Solar Star Region, and Zhang Yi was feeling heavy at this moment.

Although I escaped the endless files and returned to the world of Warhammer 40K, but...

This operation can be said to be a failure.

It was originally thought that the Earth of that world could be taken with relatively few casualties, but the appearance of demons and subspace caused Zhang Yi to spend a lot of time and manpower.

This will also have a significant impact on the next scheduled actions.

Although the planet was eventually captured, it would take more time and energy to make it powerful enough to benefit the Warhammer 40K world.

"That old bastard will never be satisfied with this." Zhang Yi looked a little haggard, but even so, there were still many problems on that planet that he had not solved. "I can already imagine him finding fault with everything..."

"My head hurts~~"

～～～～～～～ A few days later～～～～～～

Holy Terra - Imperial Palace

"So, you let a host of aliens of all races who once massacred humanity live on another Earth, and promised to help them? In a world with the Warp and demons?"

"Their cruelty to humanity is actually..."

"Forced? For a reason?" There was some anger in the Emperor's voice. "If I were there, I would capture and burn all the alien species that have ever killed humans."

"but..."

"No buts!"

An obvious psychic impact spread out from the emperor sitting on the throne and almost knocked Zhang Yi over.

"They! Killed humans! A lot of them! More than one!"

"They! They enslave humans! They torture and divide humans! They use humans for experiments!"

"They! They deserve to die!"

This was the first time Zhang Yi saw the emperor so angry.

Although the emperor usually seems like a nagging old man, don't forget that tens of thousands of years ago, this withered skeleton sitting on the throne, unable to get up, was a ruthless man who could chase and kill all kinds of aliens and demons.

Moreover, even though he was unable to move while sitting before this throne, he was still a powerful psyker who could stir up the warp with just a single emotion of anger!

"I will arrange for the Imperial government officials, the Ecclesiarchy, and the Inquisition to go to your ship, and let them help you manage the planet while teaching you how to make these alien species pay the price they deserve!"

"Based on your ideas and previous contributions, I would tell them not to copy what's done here and give you some wiggle room."

"But I will never let them go as easily as you did!"

"They need to pay the price they deserve! A heavy price! A price that will be unforgettable for them!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yi knew that there was almost no room for maneuver in this matter, so he swallowed back what he was about to say.

In the world of XCOM, everything that humanity has experienced has undoubtedly violated the Emperor's bottom line. As he does everything for humanity, he cannot and will not easily forgive the actions of the elders and a group of aliens.

If there was only one elder left and his body was gone, the Emperor might have sent out the Legion of the Damned to capture the elders one by one and burn the Astronomican.

After the Emperor's anger subsided a little, a huge, highly mechanized member of the Mechanicus walked into the palace of the Imperial Palace.

"Who are you..."

"Are you the human from the Golden Age?"

"what?"

Before Zhang Yi could react, a mechanical claw grabbed Zhang Yi's right hand and pressed on something in a box in the man's hand.

[Ding, authentication passed, unregistered citizen, please go to XXX to register your identity]

The moment Zhang Yi put his hand on it, the box opened with a voice prompt. Before Zhang Yi could see clearly what was inside, the man took it away.

"Coal, it seems that your guess is correct. Humans from the uncontaminated Golden Age or even earlier can open some of the boxes with genetic identification."

"Caw? He's the great mechanical sage who existed before the rebellion and studied with you?"

"If there is no other person who calls himself Belisarius Kaul, then it must be me." Kaul looked at the surprised Zhang Yi and said, "Hello, it's our first time to meet you, my magical little fellow who can travel to different worlds."

"Um... hello?" Looking at the Great Sage Kaul who had transformed himself to the point where he could hardly see his human form, Zhang Yi swallowed back the complaints he wanted to make. "So, the Emperor called you back because..."

"I will only feel relieved if I give the things you brought back to him for research." The Emperor interrupted Zhang Yi and said, "You know what the Mechanicus is like right now."

"Hmm... getting horny over a toaster?"

As soon as Zhang Yi finished speaking, the entire palace fell into silence.

"...So, why has my empire become like this?" Zhang Yi could clearly feel the emperor's headache and helplessness from his tone.

"Great Sage Kaul will communicate with you for a while and teach you some basic knowledge. In the next operation, he will bring part of his own troops with you to the next world..."

"But he doesn't have to obey your orders."

"He will go with me? But Cadia and the Ultramarines..."

"There is still a long time before the Battle of Kadia officially begins and its fall. At this stage, Abaddon, who claims to be the "Successor of Horus", is still in the stage of exploration and testing."

"Besides, because of your existence, things have the possibility of changing in new ways."

"Should I be proud..."

"If you are really worried about Cardia's situation, then please complete your task quickly and let me see your importance."

"Yes..." Zhang Yi said weakly. "Wait, you said you need to learn from him (Kaul)?"

"Without the warp projection, it's hard for them to notice you, let alone be affected by you." Cawl spoke up at this point. "That is to say, you don't need to worry about a series of problems that may arise during your research because of the warp, and you don't need to worry about whether every thought you have comes from some evil existence..."

"It would be a waste if we don't use this condition for scientific research," the Emperor said, taking over Kawl's words. "That's true."

"...can I refuse?"

"cannot!"

"Okay, okay, I admit it."

Zhang Yi did not intend to resist. After all, based on his previous experiences, resistance would be useless and would only lead to worse consequences.

Since you can't resist, just enjoy it.

“It’s a good thing to get used to it.”

"What else can I do if I'm not used to it? Should I run up to your [Golden Toilet] and break off your skull?" Zhang Yi was so disappointed. "But I want to make a condition."

"explain."

"I need a five-man [Terminator] team."

"why?"

"A divine artifact, somewhere in this world." Zhang Yi said. "It is a divine artifact that allows anyone to travel through the webway at will. It was once a treasure of the Eldar..."

"It is now stored in a hyperdimensional maze in the treasury of the Necrons - Trazyn the Endless, acting as a bait to attract countless people and then become one of his living collections."

"I know that Necromancer. He's a collector. You once called him 'The King of Figures'," the Emperor said. "Why do you think you could get that thing from him?"

"One, I know what that trap is and what's inside it."

"Second, as far as I know, because of the upcoming [Battle of Cadia], he will focus a lot of attention on Cadia, looking for opportunities to expand his collection. This is an opportunity."

"Third, I have the ability to ignore any obstructions and interference and open a portal to a designated location. This is the prerequisite for the mission to succeed. At the same time, I also know a lot of relevant information about that place...

"Fourth, the creation of the Ancient Saints - the existence of the Magic Toad Priests. They also have a certain understanding of the technology and creations of the Necrons."

"Finally..."

Having said that, Zhang Yi took a deep breath and looked at the emperor sitting on the golden throne not far away.

"You want me to prove myself?"

"..."

Looking at Zhang Yi's rare confident and resolute expression, the emperor fell silent.

"...kitten."

"Yes, my Lord." The commander of the Imperial Guards walked up to the Emperor and bowed his head. "What do you want?"

"Send a ship to Macragge in secret, carrying my order, and have them send the most elite Terminator Squadron to Terra."

"with the fastest speed!"

"Yes!"

The kitten walked out of the palace quickly, and the emperor turned his attention back to Zhang Yi.

"Tell me, what are you going to do?"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

After Zhang Yi left, the entire area in front of the throne fell silent again. You couldn't expect those old-fashioned imperial guards to chat with the emperor or anything.

Soon after, a hooded man with two guns walked into the hall, came to the Golden Throne, and knelt on one knee to the Emperor.

"Cypher, how's your surveillance going?"

"No one on the ship, including the powerful alien psychic, noticed me," Cypher responded. "The operation went smoothly."

"Also, I have to admit that those lizards and giant toads are indeed powerful and reliable allies, at least at this stage."
