Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"This is a trap!" Seeing the Ultramarines who were not surprised at all by Guilliman's sudden appearance, but instead shouted excitedly, the enemies immediately realized the problem.

But it was too late, as along with the Primarch appeared several golden Guards, and the morale of the Ultramarines was greatly boosted by Guilliman's participation in the battle.

"For five hundred worlds!"

Under the leadership of the powerful Primarch and the Emperor's Guards, the Ultramarines launched a counterattack, destroying the enemies before them with overwhelming force.

"We must notify the people outside, notify the Warmaster!" a Chaos Space Marine shouted. "This is a trap! Guilliman has been awakened long ago, he..."

Bang bang bang!

Several bombs hit him, stopping his shouting. Then Guilliman holding the [Sword of the Emperor] appeared in front of him and slashed him with his sword!

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Outside, a large number of Chaos enemies were still fighting fiercely with the warriors guarding the Hera Fortress.

Suddenly, a huge explosion was heard in the sky above the orbit, and a Chaos ship was falling.

"Bathed in the flames of war, forged in the anvil!"

As if receiving a signal, a large number of Space Marines from the Salamanders suddenly appeared behind the enemy and began to launch a fierce attack on the enemy.

The moment the Space Marines of the Salamanders appeared carrying a variety of heavy weapons, due to the huge casualties and losses of the traitors, a large number of corpses of Space Marines and Chaos believers filled every corner of the battlefield.

Leading this army was a tall giant wearing dark green armor - Vulkan, the Primarch of the Salamanders Chapter.

Being attacked from both sides threw the Chaos side into chaos. Especially with this Primarch joining the battle, the Chaos warriors in the rear found it difficult to fight back for a while.

"What about the people who went in? Did they complete their mission?"

“There was no response just now!”

"We must retreat! This is a trap! We must tell the Warmaster what happened here!"

boom!

At this moment, another strange change occurred. On the front line, a Chaos Space Marine seemed to be hit by something and flew back from the front, knocking down a lot of his own people.

Squeak--boom!

A huge plasma sphere instantly engulfed a Chaos Space Marine before he could react, leaving no trace of his body.

A human in dark green armor? He was holding a plasma cannon half the size of his body, and appeared in the Ultramarines' position. Behind him were a large number of Grey Knights and humans with similar equipment.

However, the human before them caused all the Chaos warriors on the battlefield, who had a deep connection with Chaos and even had demons possessed in their bodies, to tremble in their souls.

They don't know that the human being before them is, in another world, a being that demons and the like are terrified of - DOM GUY!

"RIP·AND·TEAR!"

The green-armored warrior fell directly from a great height, like a missile, and smashed into the crowd of Chaos people. The other former [Night Sentinels] followed closely behind, then the Grey Knights, and finally, the Extreme Marines who were originally on the defensive also joined the ranks of active attacks.

In orbit, a large number of Loyalty ships suddenly appeared and were gradually surrounding and annihilating the Chaos fleets, turning them into garbage in the universe one by one.

On the ground, Guilliman had led Calgar and his men out of the building, and joined forces with DOM and his men to launch a fierce attack on the remaining Chaos forces. Together with Vulkan and his descendants who were behind the enemy, they divided them up step by step, surrounded them, and then annihilated them.

The enemies who invaded Macragge never imagined that this mission was a trap. They would actually face three Primarch-level warriors at the same time, and would eventually be annihilated here without a single one left.

When the last Chaos Space Marine was knocked away by Vulkan, then knocked to the ground by DOM GUY holding the [Guardian Hammer], and finally beheaded by Guilliman's sword, it foreshadowed Abaddon's failure again.

Abaddon had not expected that his every move was predicted by an unknown person, and that he was led by the nose by him, resulting in the loss of two [Blackstone Fortresses]. In the end, even the invading Macragge was a trap.

The last year of Warhammer 40K is considered by all races to be a turbulent and chaotic year, and the situation in the galaxy will undergo drastic changes.

But this change has undergone some small changes due to the intervention of an outsider.

This means that the situation in the entire galaxy may not be as bad as expected.

...I guess so...

102. Preparation and next steps

By the time word reached Abaddon of the failed mission to Macragge to kill the sleeping Guilliman, it was a long time before it reached Abaddon.

Guilliman woke up early and even ambushed the troops he sent out, causing all the Chaos warriors who were going to carry out the mission to be annihilated, and not a single one escaped.

Abaddon, who had already returned to the Warp, angrily crushed to death a Chaos Human believer who was maintaining his mechanical arm in front of him.

"Who is it! Who knew our plan in advance?! Who disrupted my [Thirteenth Black Crusade]?! Who is it?!"

"Find him! Find him at all costs! I'll make him pay!"

Then, another massacre began. A planet of the Human Empire that was isolated due to the expansion of the Eye of Terror became a victim. All the creatures on it were slaughtered, and their corpses were piled up so high that they could even be seen from space.

The gathered blood formed a huge lake, and the entire earth turned blood red.

Then, in the lake formed by blood, countless scenes appeared.

The recovered Primarch of the Salamanders Chapter, Vulkan...

Archsage Cawl who successfully cured Guilliman and the leader of the Eldar [Death Army] - Evelyne...

An unknown amphibian race with powerful psychic powers (Magic Toad Priests)...

And... a blank...

Yes, it was completely blank. The picture that was supposed to show the mastermind behind the failure of the operation was completely blank. Even in the previous pictures, some places where there should have been people were also blank.

There is an existence that cannot be captured by prophecy...

Abaddon was naturally very dissatisfied with this result, but his psychics who had the ability of prophecy and detection tried their best, and this was the only result they could achieve.

In desperation, Abaddon personally sought advice from Tzeentch, one of the four gods, hoping that it could tell him who that person was.

but...

The only response he got was Tzeentch's uncontrollable laughter...

[Don't worry, little one] (Tzeentch)

[Your expedition is nothing compared to the plans I am undertaking] (Tzeentch)

[Be patient, it won’t be long...] (Tzeentch)

[We will all be able to see a wider world] (Tzeentch)

【Hehehehe～～】(Tzeentch)

Macragge

The Eldar ships of the Death Army were docked in orbit around the planet. Evelyne arrived here once again, hoping to communicate further with Guilliman about future cooperation.

But Guilliman knew very well that the tall and powerful Eldar in front of him came today not just to discuss those things with him.

She wanted to know about the lizard people and even Zhang Yi.

And Guilliman naturally couldn't tell her.

"Our current alliance is not enough for me to tell you the secrets of the Empire." Guilliman said to the Eldar in front of him in a very official and polite manner. "If there is nothing else, please go back."

"...What do I need to pay?" Evelyne still did not give up and asked directly. "What do we need to pay to know this information?"

"..."

Faced with Evelyne's direct words, even Guilliman fell into deep thought.

"...As 'he' told you, it is not the right time..." Guilliman said. "You also know what some of your compatriots have done to the entire human empire."

Afterwards, Evelyne was escorted out of Macragge by a group of Space Marines and returned to her ship.

At this time, Guilliman also remembered the conversation he had with the Emperor not long ago.

At that time, Robert Guilliman, wearing the [Armor of Destiny], knelt on one knee before the Golden Throne for a long time. During this period, neither the Emperor sitting on the throne nor Guilliman sitting under him spoke.

"...I apologize to you and your brothers, my child." The Emperor suddenly said.

"Because of his appearance, right?"

"...Yes." The Emperor was silent for a while, then said, "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't apologize..."

"Because no one could do better than me at that time."

"However, his appearance and the new possibilities he brought forced me to admit that there are better options for some things."

"The premise is that he exists."

"...Yes..."

Then, both sides fell silent again.

"How are you going to use him? Do you want to use us like you do?" Guilliman said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"I am not a good father, I admit it." The Emperor said. "I did use you as tools..."

"But, it's all for humanity..."

"Once again, my apologies to you and your brothers, Guilliman..."

"Although, this may not mean much."

Guilliman looked at the Emperor sitting on the Golden Throne, his father, who had become a skeleton.

"Will he be our new brother?"

"...if he wants..."

. . . . . .

Holy Terra

"Very good." The Emperor said with satisfaction as he looked at the battle report in front of him. "After this battle, the threat from the Eye of Terror will not be a problem for at least a hundred years."

"Alliance with the Eldar... um..." Seeing this, the Emperor's tone was somewhat dissatisfied and a little angry. "It won't be that easy!"

Zhang Yi could only shrug helplessly at the Emperor's nagging. Zhang Yi also knew about all the bad things the Eldar had done to humans, and this hatred was not so easy to let go.

He has no right to say that everyone should put aside their hatred, shake hands and make peace, and create a beautiful new galaxy together... He himself feels uncomfortable saying such things in the Warhammer universe...

If the Eldar truly wish to ensure their survival through the Empire, they must give up their ill-gotten arrogance and ambition, surrender all their technological know-how, and also give up the idea of ​​reviving the Eldar Empire that once ruled the galaxy.

Zhang Yi felt that if the elves really chose to join the human empire in large numbers, they would at least be under surveillance for thousands of years and eventually become vassals of humans or something.

This should be completely unacceptable to most, or even all, of the Eldar. Most of them are still obsessed with the glory of the destroyed and invincible [Eldar Empire] in the past, and are unable to realize that their home has been bombed for tens of thousands of years...

Now, the awakened Guilliman was crowned with the title of "Regent", and in the name of the Emperor, he began a large-scale reorganization of the Empire's internal affairs. At the same time, he also began to prepare materials and personnel for Zhang Yi's future large-scale time-travel operations, which would require a long period of preparation.

"So, what are you going to do next?" the Emperor said, putting down the document floating in front of him.

"Well... let's go solve the problem in Zhonggu." Zhang Yi said after a moment's hesitation. "The help the Lizardmen have given us is obvious to all, isn't it?"

"Besides, you should fulfill your promise."

"..." The emperor did not respond to Zhang Yi's words.

"This is also an opportunity to formally establish alliances with other alien races." Zhang Yi continued. "As the lizardmen created by the Ancient Saints, they are also a powerful force to deal with Chaos and those four guys..."

"Not to mention that there are a lot of advanced technologies of the Ancient Saints on that planet, as well as good technologies from other races."

"And, you won't forget that the planet is in a corner of the empire that was hidden by the Ancient Saints, right? There is also a permanent continental chaos rift there, and because of my arrival, at least one evil god in that world has discovered my existence..."

"If you leave it alone, there's a high chance that a second Eye of Terror will appear."

"Well... you are right." The Emperor said. "But this time, you need more people..."

"I don't care what happens to the alien races up there, but the humans there, either bring them all back to me, or give them a good place to go."

"I will have Guilliman prepare enough personnel and ships for you. I will also have him prepare for further alliances with those Ancient Saints."

"But you should know my bottom line."

"Got it, old man..."

subspace

Chaos and distortion drive people crazy

However, the main superluminal means of the current human empire is carried out using the subspace.

Admiral Speyer, the leader of the human fleet that stopped Abaddon's Twelfth Black Crusade, is now lost in the warp because of hatred, chasing his enemies.
