As the battle approached, Soshyan's senses began to become sharper, and even the surrounding environment slowed down.
This allows him to understand the battlefield and make the best decisions for his team to win.
One cultist had fallen to the precise fire of Priest Yazdan, but nine more cultists emerged from the bushes and launched a series of attacks on them.
Although the bullet casings had not yet hit the ground, Riemann's ears had filtered out other noises on the battlefield, allowing Soshyan to discern that the cultists were using automatic weapons. Then he raised his arm and turned to aim at the bullets flying towards him.
Three crisp cracks later, all three bullets ricocheted harmlessly off the armor, and, with their positions exposed, he fired back at the enemy.
With the help of the Terminator's servo-assisted shooting system, he doesn't even need to aim.
Only the first shot hit the mark, and one of the cultists fell to the ground, twitching briefly before the remains of his body realized that the right side of his brain was no longer where it should be, and went limp. Down.
The subsequent strafing directly knocked down all the cultists who emerged without wasting a single bullet.
Likewise, the shooting from the bushes became more intensive, and the attack became more sustained and accurate.
A white-haired cultist in a trench coat was directing the shooting, and he seemed to know what he was doing and what he was attacking - Soshyan was a little surprised by their courage.
The Astartes squad as a whole was aware of the subtle changes in the direction of the battle, and they began to adjust their shooting targets, focusing on those cultists who were directing the battle.
Soon, the white-haired cultist commander's legs were broken by bullets, and he fell to the ground wailing.
Under this devastating volley, the cultists could only huddle behind their bunkers and tremble, their tactics meaningless against the power displayed by their enemies.
"The coward will go to hell, the brave will ascend to heaven!!"
After sensing that their position was about to be impacted, the enemy's next move was completely beyond Soshyan's expectations.
Under the call of a certain slogan, they did not conduct covering fire and retreat. Instead, they made the exact opposite choice and charged towards these figures in power armor who were advancing step by step.
A soldier swung his automatic cannon and fired a hail of white-hot bullets in the direction of the four enemy soldiers. The metal heat wiped them out in an instant, and also burned a large bush behind them.
As the heat scorched and vitrified the earth below, the bush burned with it.
The cultists still held up their sticks and knives and continued their charge.
Farzad, who was also charging, immediately came in front of them, but when he dared to cut the first person, a explosive shell passed by him and hit the cultist's torso.
The left arm of the guy covered in tattoos was completely torn off from the shoulder down, and thick scarlet blood spurted out from the stump.
——————
But the others remained, and they rushed towards the angel, pulled him to the ground, and began attacking him with melee weapons.
Farzad grabbed one of the men by the throat and strangled him as his enemy pathetically tried to club the fallen Space Marine, then with a swing of his axe, shattered the skull of the other, and again in half a breath. Grabbing a cultist's hooded face, he dug his fingers into his eye sockets and then into the skull of the worshiper of Chaos.
At the end of this crazy act, the bare-chested cultist could only use a machete stained with his own blood to smear meaningless marks on the Astartes' power armor.
Farzad's fighting style is brutal, but also efficient, and Soshyan has no intention of changing him.
Because before this battle is over, more blood will be spilled, and it will be up to them to spill the blood of their enemies.
Likewise, more life will perish in this distant world, because at this moment they are agents of fear and death.
The blade will never stop until the enemies are killed and the mission is completed.
When the last resisting cultist fell, rain suddenly fell from the sky, extinguishing the burning flames of the forest.
Soshyan simply estimated that they killed more than a thousand cultists in about five minutes.
The entire ground was densely covered with broken corpses. Blood mixed with rain seeped into the soil, dyeing the brown earth into light red.
But such a death is not worthy of his concern. Whether active or forced, these people have deviated from the right path of mankind, and death is their only salvation.
After gathering the team, Soshyan continued to move towards the destination.
When they were about to arrive at the Ministry of Justice fortress, they encountered a small village.
The team immediately dispersed, and when they solved the village, they found that there were many dirty tents left outside the village. It was likely that this was the stronghold of the defeated group of cultists.
Farzad raised a pile of rags with the end of his power ax with a look of disdain on his face.
"Dirty heretics, look at this place, it's even filthier than the animal pen."
"Area security."
Standing at one end of the camp, Yazdan responded that they had not found any enemies so far.
Soshyan simply knocked down a small house, but there was nothing inside except a few bones and the embers of a bonfire.
"There's nothing here either."
An unusual silence fell all around, and even the animals in the grass didn't make any noise.
"These guys are so pathetically weak. A single explosive bomb can blow them up until nothing is left. They actually rebel against the empire?"
"Quiet."
Soshyan raised his hand, and then motioned to the priest to take off the oracle from his waist.
Yazdan looked down at the display above, when there was an explosion in the distance, and the Space Marines spread out into a defensive formation without thinking.
Soshyan tightened his grip on his chainsaw halberd.
"It sounds like it's pretty lively over there."
Farzad joked:
"Chapter Commander, why don't we just ignore this place and just go over there and fight. That would be much more glorious than exterminating this group of weaklings."
"I said quiet!"
Farzad snorted, but did as he was told.
The regular calls of the auspicious omen became the only sound in the surroundings. The camp was very small, with only three ring-shaped buildings surrounded by a protective wall made of mud.
"There's a life signal over there."
Yazdan pointed to the north with his augury and said.
"Maybe we can go take a look..."
"Chapter Commander, we should fight a more interesting battle."
Farzad said to Soshyan in the communicator, with a little confidence:
"There are only ruins here, and at most some weak mortals."
