After walking for about two minutes, a wider space appeared in front of the team. Bahram could feel the changes in the airflow as it poured from the sealed tunnel into a vast basement, and the source of the sound was close enough to pick out the sound. Use obvious words.
Although they all speak Gothic, Low Gothic is often not very different from the alien language, so Bahram is not familiar with the murmurs of the cultists.
"Prepare to fight, brothers."
With weapons drawn, they headed toward the red light emanating from the chamber.
"Now they're all prey."
Sabourin squatted at the entrance of the tunnel, staring at the scene inside.
This is a hall about ten meters high and four hundred meters long. The uneven walls mark that it was roughly excavated from the original sewer by external forces.
However, the ancient bloodstains were even more obvious here, with long strips of coagulated plasma trailing along the walls, like moss.
The ground is an equally filthy quagmire, and crimson mist rises from this bloody swamp. Rising from the mire are ledges like solid islands in a pool of blood. On the largest of these islands, many cultists have gathered. .
He estimated that the number of cultists here was more than 500. Their various costumes indicated that they belonged to different classes in the hive, including workers, craftsmen, fishermen, wanderers and even guards. You could almost find people from low to high status in the city. Mortal appearance.
They knelt in front of an altar made of human skulls, beating themselves with whips in frantic worship. The only lighting in the hall was three huge chandeliers above their heads.
Behind the altar was a priest wearing a scarlet robe. He hid his face behind a crimson mask like a hound's head and was shouting strange prayers, which echoed in the empty room.
"They... they have defiled the land of the empire. What are we waiting for?"
Li Lin gasped and said, the desire to kill was surging in his heart.
Bahram raised his hand and then clenched it into a fist.
"For the Emperor, leave no one behind."
In response, Sabourin suddenly pulled out his gun and shot at the chandeliers on the ceiling, instantly knocking down all three chandeliers and plunging the hall into endless darkness.
For a moment, the cultists fell into madness and fear.
"Scream, we are coming for you!"
Then, the five warriors pounced on the cultists in the room, and the helmet's loudspeaker emitted a dizzying scream - of course, excluding Bahram, who just silently released his monstrous rage.
In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere in the temple of the evil god Khorne.
"Howl, you scum! If you betray the Emperor and humanity, then bear the price of madness!"
Li Lin laughed and waved his hands, and his huge lightning claws were about to set off a storm of minced meat and limbs in the crowd, while Sabourin held a gun in one hand and a sword in the other, calmly slaughtering every life around him, Bahram Then dozens of lives have been silently cut off.
"If you want to survive, fight back! Quick!"
After experiencing the initial chaos, the cultists also reacted. They first lit the brazier and used the firelight to see the vague outline of the enemy clearly, and then roared in response.
These ferocious followers of Khorne showed greater courage than ordinary humans in the face of the Space Marines. They raised simple axes and swords, clubs and firearms in an attempt to fight against these angels of death.
"Blood sacrifice to the blood god! Skull sacrifice to the skull throne!"
"I will sacrifice your mother!"
Li Lin kicked the man shouting Khorne's name in two, then swung his arms in merciless slashing and stabbing motions, piercing the skull and breaking limbs.
In just a few heartbeats, a dozen people were dismantled into parts.
Compared to Li Lin's frenzy, Sablin was closer to precise anatomy. He first chopped off an arm with a sword, causing it to spin in the air and spurt out a fountain of hot blood, and then chopped off a mad woman's head with one stroke. Split in half, the brains splashed out from the broken head were scattered all over the floor.
Then he grabbed the other enemy's neck with his other hand, and lifted the screaming man up from the ground as if ignoring the weight. The sharp claws at the end of his fingers dug deeply into the opponent's throat, and blood spurted out. It flowed down the strong arms.
The struggling prey kicked him with its boots and drove the spikes of its axes into the Space Marine's arms, but to no avail.
In the face of the terrifying force, any resistance was meaningless. With a flick of his wrist, he broke the poor guy's neck and threw his still trembling body in the faces of other cultists.
"Quick victory!"
As the acting company commander, one of Bahram's most important tasks is to restrain the Night Dires of the 11th Company from engaging in excessive behavior during the execution of their missions, especially to control their sadistic desires.
As soon as he finished speaking, a screaming cultist rushed up and was immediately split into two pieces by his sword.
However, the crazed rebels refused to stop and swarmed over the Space Marines like angry ants, tearing at their metal armor with countless blades.
"The victim will be elevated!"
On the chaotic battlefield, the masked priest roared loudly. Unlike his crazed followers, the leader of the cult remained standing, his eyes wide behind the hound mask, as the Space Marines broke into the hidden temple. .
"The blessing of the Blood God is about to come!"
Only then did Bahram realize that they had forgotten about this guy at first. Perhaps he gave people the impression that he was too weak.
So he gave the order.
"Li Lin, shut up that wild dog."
"Okay! I suggest that his skin be used as a wipe for the Chapter's servants."
Upon hearing the Space Marines insult their leader, a group of cultists rushed towards Li Lin.
Li Lin laughed and tore open one man's belly with his claws, then cut open the other man's ribs.
"Guard of the Blood God, please walk among us!"
The cult priest continued to chant crazily in the face of the approaching giant.
"Give your disciples your wrath, and let us slay the blasphemers who desecrate your holy place!"
Scarlet energy pulsed from the altar and seeped into the glowing body.
Soon, the cultist's skin darkened to the color of old scabs, and his body began to swell and deform, his bones stretching and bursting.
Under Li Lin's surprised gaze, the man's hair fell bloodyly from his scalp, and his skull was curled and flattened into a reptilian shape. In this man's painful body, a vicious force was burning.
"What is this?"
Bahram glanced at the altar, saw the scarlet creation, and said loudly:
"It's just a devil, leave it to me!"
Then, he suddenly accelerated, the blade rolled past like the wind, and the blood of the cultist suddenly burst out from the huge wound like a fountain.
Li Lin retreated slowly, staring coldly at the unpredictable shape of the demon host, and spat hard at his feet.
"Bah, you spent so much effort to come up with this?"
