After walking about two minutes, a wider space appeared in front of the team. Bahram could feel the airflow changes as it poured from the airtight tunnel into a vast basement, and the source of the sound was close enough to pick out obvious words.
Although they are all speaking Gothic, low Gothic is often not very different from alien languages, so Bahram is not familiar with the murmurs of cultists.
"Prepare for the fight, brothers."
After pulling out their weapons, they advanced towards the red light that was emitted from the secret room.
"Now they are all prey."
Sabrin 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, with uneven walls indicating that it was roughly excavated by external forces from the sewer at the beginning.
However, the ancient blood stains are even more obvious here, with many strips of coagulated plasma dragging on the walls, like moss.
The ground was the same filthy mud, and crimson mist floated out of this bloody swamp. What rose from the slumber was a rock stand like a solid island in a pool of blood. Many cultists gathered on the largest of these islands.
He estimated that the number of cultists here was more than 500. The variety of costumes indicated that they belonged to different classes in the nest capital, including workers, craftsmen, fishermen and wanderers and even guards, and could almost find the appearance of mortals with a low status in the city.
They knelt in front of an altar built with human skulls, whipping themselves in a crazy worship with a whip, and the only lighting in the hall was three huge chandeliers above their heads.
Behind the altar is a priest in a scarlet robe. He hid his face behind a crimson mask like a hunting dog's head and was shouting strange prayers, and echoing in the empty room.
"They... they have defiled the empire's land, what are we waiting for?"
Li Lin said gaspingly, the desire to kill was surging in his heart.
Bahram raised his hand and clenched his fists sharply.
"For the sake of the emperor, no one will be left."
In response to him, Sabrin suddenly pulled out his gun and shot at the chandelier on the ceiling, instantly shooting down all three chandeliers, causing the hall to fall into endless darkness.
In an instant, the cultists fell into madness and fear.
"Scream, we are here for you!"
Then, five soldiers rushed towards the cultists in the room, and the loudspeaker of the helmet made a fainting scream - of course not including Bahram, he just silently released his monstrous anger.
In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere in the temple of evil gods' terror.
"Wow, scumbags! If you betray the emperor and humans, then bear the cost of madness!"
Li Lin laughed and waved his hands. The huge lightning claws were about to set off a storm of flesh and limbs in the crowd. Sabrin held a gun and a sword in one hand, calmly slaughtering every life around him, while Bahram had silently cut down dozens of lives.
"If you want to survive, fight back! Hurry!"
After experiencing the initial chaos, the cultists also reacted, first lit up the brazier, used the firelight to see the blurry outline of the enemy, and then roared in response.
These vicious terror believers faced the Space Marines and showed stronger courage than ordinary people. They raised their humble axes and swords, sticks and guns to try to fight against these death angels.
"Blood sacrifices to the blood god! The skull is dedicated to the skull throne!"
"I'll sacrifice to your mother!"
Li Lin kicked the guy who was notorious about terror and abuse in two pieces, then waved his arms ruthlessly to make chops and pierces, piercing the skull and breaking the limbs.
After just a few heartbeats, more than a dozen people were dismantled into parts.
Compared to Li Lin's frenzy, Sabrin was closer to a detailed dissection. He first cut off an arm with a sword, causing it to spin in the air and spew out the hot blood like a spring. Another knocked down the head of a crazy woman in half, and the brain splashed out from the rolling broken head spilled all over the ground.
Then he grabbed another enemy's neck with his other hand, lifting the screaming man up from the ground as if he was ignoring the weight. The sharp claws at the end of his fingers penetrated deep into the opponent's throat, and the gushing blood flowed down his powerful arms.
The struggling prey tried hard to kick him with his boots, stabbing the spikes on the axe into the Space Marine's arm, but to no avail.
In the face of terrible forces, any resistance was meaningless. He trembled his wrist and twisted the poor neck, throwing his still trembling body on the faces of other cultists.
"So quickly and quickly!"
As the acting company commander, a very important task is to restrain the nightmares of the 11th Company from not having any extreme behavior during the mission, especially controlling their abusive desires.
As soon as he finished speaking, a cultist who was screaming in ghost rushed up and was immediately chopped into two pieces by his sword.
However, the crazy rebels refused to stop acting, and they rushed towards the Space Marine like angry ants, tearing their metal armor with countless blades.
"The victims will be sublimated!"
On the chaotic battlefield, the masked priest screamed loudly, unlike his crazy followers, the leader of the sect was still standing in place when the Space Marine broke into the hidden temple, his eyes widened behind the hound mask.
"The blessing of the Blood God is coming!"
Only then did Bahram realize that they had forgotten about this guy at first, perhaps because he felt too weak.
So he issued an order.
"Li Lin, shut up that wild dog."
"Okay! I suggest that his skin be the butt wiper paper for the war team servants."
When hearing Space Marines insult their leader, a group of cultists rushed towards Li Lin.
Li Lin laughed and used his sharp claws to tear apart abdomen, and then cut the ribs of another person.
"Guardian of the Blood God, please walk among us!"
The cult priest still chanted madly in the face of the approaching giant.
“Give your disciples wrath, and let us slaughter the blasphemers who defiled your holy land!”
The scarlet energy jumped from the altar and penetrated into the glowing human body.
Soon, the cult's skin turned dark and turned into the color of an old scab, his body began to swell and deform, and his bones stretched and burst.
Under Li Lin's surprise gaze, the man's hair fell bloodily from his scalp, his skull curled and flattened into the appearance of a reptile. In the man's painful body, a vicious force was burning.
"What's this?"
Bahram glanced at the altar, saw the scarlet creation, and whispered:
"Just a demon, leave it to me!"
Then, he suddenly accelerated, the blade swept across like the wind, and the blood of the cultists suddenly burst out from the huge wound like a fountain.
Li Lin slowly retreated, stared at the unpredictable form of the demon host in cold eyes, and spat hard at his feet.
