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 that he could 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 cultists.
"Prepare to fight, brothers."
After drawing their weapons, they moved towards the red light emanating from the secret room.
"They're all prey now."
Sablin 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 indicate that it was roughly excavated from the original sewer by external forces.
However, the ancient bloodstains are even more obvious here, with many long strips of coagulated plasma trailing on the walls, like moss.
The ground is an equally filthy quagmire, and crimson mist floats 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 five hundred. Their various costumes indicated that they belonged to different classes in the hive, including laborers, 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, whipped themselves with whips and performed crazy worship. The only lighting in the hall was three huge chandeliers above their heads.
Behind the altar was a priest wearing a scarlet robe, hiding his face behind a crimson mask like a hound's head. He 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 clenched his fist fiercely.
"For the sake of the Emperor, no one will be spared."
In response to him, 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, scum! If you betray the Emperor and humanity, then bear the price of madness!"
Li Lin laughed and waved his hands, and the huge lightning claws were about to set off a storm of broken meat and mutilated 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.
Facing the Space Marines, these ferocious followers of Khorne showed greater courage than ordinary people. 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 who shouted Khorne's infamy into two pieces, then waved his arms mercilessly in slashing and stabbing motions, piercing the skull and breaking limbs.
In just a few heartbeats, more than a dozen people were dismantled into parts.
Compared to Li Lin's frenzy, Sabourin was closer to fine 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 fell 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 thrust the spikes from its ax into the Space Marine's arm, 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 man'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 cut 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 crazy followers, when the Space Marines broke into the hidden temple, the leader of the sect remained standing, his eyes widening behind the hound mask.
.
"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 sharp claws, and 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 wrath to your disciples, and let us slay the blasphemers who desecrate your holy place!"
Scarlet energy pulses from the altar and seeps into the glowing body.
Soon, the cultist's skin darkened and turned the color of old scabs, and his body began to swell and deform, with bones elongating 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 swept 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.
