Warhammer 40: From the League of Humans to Warhammer

Page 120

When this anomaly occurred, Zhou Qing, who was in the laboratory, noticed it immediately.

Although his psychic power was completely different from that of the local psychics, and was even blocked by a dark matter shield.

However, as a scientist, his senses were also the most acute, and even with so many obstacles, he immediately detected the changes in the universe.

Upon noticing the change, Zhou Qing immediately stood up.

"The Imperial Guards, come in!"

Zhou Qing called out loudly to the Imperial Guards outside, and Trajan pushed open the door and entered at Zhou Qing's call.

Yes, it was him again. He had just returned, so upon hearing Zhou Qing's call, he immediately went to Zhou Qing's laboratory and was the first to enter.

"Turajn, it's you? Didn't you go back to Terra?"

"Could it be that the training of the Imperial Guards has been completed?"

Seeing that it was Trajan Zhouqing who pushed open the door, he was a little confused and surprised.

"There is no war commander. We have not completed the training of the Imperial Guards, but the Emperor ordered me to return first. He has foreseen that something is about to happen."

"The Emperor said you would need us, so I came back first."

Tula truthfully reported to Zhou Xing the reason why he had returned.

"Yes, that fellow human is right, I do need you."

"Did you notice any changes in the universe when you came back? That must be the plot of those Eldar. I can feel the difference between the warp and the real universe is rapidly shrinking."

Upon hearing that it was arranged by his fellow human sitting on the golden throne, Zhou Qing readily accepted and naturally began to inquire whether the commander of the Imperial Guard had noticed any changes in the real universe.

"Yes, Commander, I saw it."

"The real universe has undergone earth-shattering changes, as if the subspace has directly descended upon the entire universe, and the original laws of the universe no longer apply."

"The Eldar's conspiracy should have already begun. They want to take advantage of the chaos among the gods in the Warp to destroy our 108 World War Generals. Please hold your tongue."

For Trajan, ensuring Zhou Qing's safety was of paramount importance.

This place is about to become a battlefield, even though Zhou Qing possesses great power.

Just like an emperor who doesn't need the protection of the imperial guards, he still put forward such an opinion.

The scale of this subspace descent into the real universe is still unknown, so it's impossible to know whether the subspace evil god can also act in the real universe. After all, given the influence of the Great Rift, this possibility is quite high.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Qing absolutely cannot stay here any longer. As the War General on whom the Human Empire now places its hopes and the only person the Emperor has ever relied on, Zhou Qing must not suffer any accidents.

Trajan's words were clearly sincere and for his own safety, but Zhou Qing was very dissatisfied after hearing them.

Trajan, I reject your proposal! Your proposal is unreasonable!

"Do you see me as a coward who's afraid of death? Someone who's the first to run away when there's danger?"

"Do you know how many human citizens and fellow human beings there are here? I'll tell you, the number of human citizens and fellow human beings on each planet is no less than 2,000 billion!"

"Even the world with the smallest population has at least 2,000 billion human beings here."

If I leave, what about them? Are they even able to leave?

We don't have enough transport ships and warships to cover their escape; they have no choice but to stay here!

"108 worlds, do you know how many fellow human beings that equates to?"

"This is equivalent to at least 20 trillion fellow human beings and citizens here. Their numbers are enormous!"

"Does my life matter, but theirs doesn't?"

Zhou Qing countered with a question to Trajan.

Trajan could easily answer Zhou Qing's question. After all, he was just one of the 20,0000 trillion human beings and citizens. How could he possibly compare to someone like Zhou Qing?

If it were an ordinary member of the human Empire, Trajan would have replied to him without hesitation.

Yes, that's right, you are more precious than these 20,0000 trillion fellow human beings and citizens!

If the lives of 20,0000 trillion fellow human beings and citizens could be exchanged for one of you, then they would be infinitely honored, and it would be worth it!

This is the real reality. The human empire has never made sacrifices that are too great to accept, but Tula cannot say that, because standing in front of him is Zhou Qing, a person whose sense of morality is off the charts.

He couldn't and had no way of saying such a thing to Zhou Qing!

If he were to say something like that, he might just anger the scientist in front of him, making it much harder to persuade Zhou Qing to leave.

But how could he persuade Zhou Qing to leave? Tula was at a loss.

"Alright, Tulazhen, there's no need to persuade me anymore. I know what you mean, and I know what you want to say." Zhou Qing saw through Tulazhen's meaning and what he wanted to say at a glance.

"This matter actually involves our moral values ​​and interests, so there's not much to say. I can understand your thoughts, but even though I can understand, I can't agree to them."

"In my eyes, they are also my fellow human beings. They are human beings just like me. I cannot abandon them, nor can I give up on them. I will stay here with them!"

"Moreover, is it you or the Primarchs who can command such a large-scale war?"

No! None of you are capable. Only I can command this war.

Chapter 185 The Arrival of the Warp: Space Undead Have Arrived

Zhou Qing's words left Trajan with no way to refute them, because, as he said, there was only one person who was qualified and capable of commanding this war.

That was Zhou Qing himself.

No one but him could command this war.

This 108 world was created by Zhou Qing. No one else could command it as well as Zhou Qing.

"Besides, I have my reasons for fighting. In addition to protecting these human citizens, the most important thing is for you to come and see."

As Zhou Qing spoke, he brought up the star map. In addition to the 108 worlds that were not officially designated, it had its own core 28 worlds.

Among these 28 worlds are the Ideal City, the Gaia World, and even the Ideal Stars and the Ring World.

Furthermore, there is a black hole galaxy where some megastructures are being built in preparation for mining minerals within the black hole.

This is Zhou Qing's absolute core. If these 28 worlds are attacked by the enemy, then the research that Zhou Qing can carry out now will inevitably be interrupted.

Because the human empire could not provide him with enough resources.

At the same time, if these 28 worlds are destroyed, all of Zhou Qing's efforts will be in vain.

He would have to start all over again, which was absolutely unacceptable, as Zhou Qing was still hoping to challenge those evil gods in the subspace.

If he had to start all over again, when would he be able to punish those warp gods?

Because his core star sector was located at the very innermost part of the 108th world, Zhou Qing could not retreat.

Trajan couldn't refute Zhou Qing's earlier arguments, and his later arguments left the commander of the Imperial Guards with no way to refute them. Zhou Qing had his reasons for doing so.

"Alright, I understand, but I urge you to prioritize your own life. If things get bad, please return to Terra immediately via the network, and we can start over."

"The Empire can easily abandon trillions of its citizens and compatriots, but the Empire can never abandon you."

"Commander, you now bear the future of the entire human civilization on your shoulders. If you are in any danger, the human empire will be in grave danger, and the human race will be in grave danger as well."

"To say something you may not like, if the battle truly turns against us, or even threatens your life, then the Royal Guard will risk their lives to bring you back to Holy Terra. As long as you are alive, we have hope!"

Trajan wasn't joking at all when he said those words; his face was full of seriousness, and Zhou Qing could tell that Trajan was really serious.

He had reason to believe that the commander of the Imperial Guard was truly capable of forcibly sending him back to Terra in a moment of crisis, even though the Imperial Guard's strength was insignificant compared to his.

"Alright, Trajan, I agree. Of course I understand what you're saying. Don't worry, I'm more afraid of death and more willing to cherish my life than you think."

To reassure Trajan, Zhou Qing even said that he was a coward, but Trajan did not agree with this statement and still looked at Zhou Qing very seriously.

"War Commander, you don't need to joke with me like that. War Commander, you are not the kind of person who would be afraid of death. If you were really that kind of person, you wouldn't need to stand up at all. You are someone who would fight for humanity."

"Although I do not fully understand you, I dare say that if you had the chance, you might even do the exact same thing as the Emperor, because you also deeply love the human race."

Looking at the strict and disciplined Imperial Guard commanders around him, Zhou Qing also suppressed the smile on his face.

"As expected of Trajan, it seems that you have not been following me for nothing after all this time, as you understand me so well."

"Alright, let's end our conversation here and prepare for the impending war."

"Let's see what we're going to face next!"

During the time Zhou Qing communicated with Trajan, the projection of the subspace into the real universe began to become more and more real.

At most a few dozen standard Terradays later, the warp will be fully present in the real universe.

Unless the Eldar's devices are destroyed in the war, or their effectiveness diminishes, and the Warp Gods do not intervene, the Warp will continue to exist in the real universe.

It's even possible that if the subspace remains open for too long, it will expand outwards like the Eye of Fear.

This is a copy of the "fearful eyes" look.

Because the Great Rift has already opened, this expansion could be even more terrifying than the Eye of Pain, and this part of the universe might become a permanent part of the subspace.

The Eldar's actions this time can be described as a grave mistake.

No wonder their prophecy foretold that Zhou Qing would hunt down the Spirit Race and even exterminate all the Spirit Race members who had fled beyond the Milky Way.

They want to destroy not only humanity's hope and Zhou Qing's trump card, but also a large part of the human world!

If their plan succeeds, the Empire's Misty Starfield will be completely lost, and the situation on the Empire's dark side will collapse completely.

Having lost the entire Misty Starfield, the human empire's national strength will inevitably be greatly weakened, forcing humanity to choose to join forces with the Eldar to fight against the increasingly powerful Chaos God and the Chaos threat.

Even if this situation was caused by the Eldar.

It is precisely because of the Eldar that humans have to face this situation.

However, when faced with a formidable enemy, humanity has no choice but to put aside its prejudices.

The plans of these remnants of the Eldar were quite reasonable, and their schemes did indeed have a chance of success.

However, their actions were far too significant, even drawing the attention of the slumbering undead to the Misty Starfield.

The Necromancers of Warhammer universe are the pinnacle of physical existence. They are only missing their souls, but it is precisely because of this lack of souls that their technology has reached a level that no one else can match.

The black stone obelisks around Kadia were built by these space necromancers, who used them to block the expansion of the Eye of Terror.

Now that these Eldar have created such a huge dead space in the galaxy, it's no wonder the Necromancers are looking their way.

The Necromancers are also the overlords of the galaxy. In their view, the galaxy should rightfully belong to the Infinite Empire. Naturally, the Necromancers will not allow these foolish long-eared creatures to run amok in their territory.

Although the Silent King Szalak of the Necromancers has not yet returned, the Endless Talassin has already appeared many times.
