At this time, the priest had completely transformed into another thing. The blackened skin fell off completely, and the scarlet muscles dripped from the stretched bones like melted wax. The huge horns carried the aura of destruction, and he held the hand tightly.
A rusty bloody sword, but still wearing the hound mask on his face.
"Khorne's lackeys!"
Bahram rushed to the altar. The demon blinked his ever-changing eyes and swung his sword to stab the Space Marine.
But the opponent directly knocked it sideways with a sword, and then Bahram stretched out his hand to grab the mask. The mask shrank into a ball under his strong grip, and then his knees suddenly hit him, and it burst into pieces.
With the sound, the demon was smashed into the altar.
The gray marrow began to take effect, and the demon's body gradually disintegrated.
Bahram tightened his fingers, the mask was squeezed out of shape, and the crushed skull let out intermittent groans.
"it's over."
With a snap, the demon that was full of evil a moment ago now disintegrated into bloody wreckage.
With the last hope dashed, even the most ardent believers of Khorne collapsed. They began to flee desperately for their lives, but they could not escape their pursuers in the darkness.
One of the women ran away from the very beginning. As the sound of fighting in the distance was diluted and blurred by the distance, the exhausted woman left all her beliefs and gods behind. She just wanted to escape, not only for herself, but also for herself.
For the life in the slightly bulging belly.
She resented her husband for choosing such a path, but it was the only way for their family to survive when they were hungry and cold. At least the church gave them food and a relatively safe place to live.
The scale of the underground passage was quite large. The hasty escape and the blurred light caused the woman to lose her direction. She could only take every step cautiously and be wary of any unusual movements.
Those terrifying giants had frightened her. If she had known that this was the God Emperor's punishment, maybe she wouldn't have done this just for a few mouthfuls of hot porridge.
But if it hadn't been for those few mouthfuls of hot porridge, she might have died long ago. After all, the church only wants to take, but never give.
Suddenly, she seemed to hear something, a faint breathing, and stopped.
"anyone there?"
The woman whispered, her body trembling constantly, her gray clothes already stained by the sewage.
But the expected echo did not appear, and the darkness seemed to swallow up the words she murmured.
The woman hesitated. The boundless darkness seemed to have a mass, covering her eyes and bending her back. The lightless aura became heavier and heavier, almost crushing her.
After hesitating for a few steps, a bad feeling emerged in the woman's chest - the darkness holding her in her arms actually had life. It was standing in front of her, staring at him with invisible eyes.
His arms and legs trembled, and the dagger held tightly in his trembling hands collided with the button on his chest. The clicking sound was loud and frightening.
The woman knows that there is something accompanying her in the darkness, the fear of predators that has been lurking at the bottom of the human psyche since time immemorial.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I just wanted to survive...I didn't break my promise. God Emperor, have mercy on me and my children."
The woman finally broke down, crying and staggering a few steps, then suddenly ran away.
Under the threat of death, the woman miraculously found a secret exit.
Suddenly, just as she pushed open the heavy fence door, the darkness changed its shape.
A huge figure instantly appeared in front of the woman, covered in blood.
The woman screamed and fell to the ground. The opponent's figure was so huge and terrifying, with lightning engraved on the silver-gray power armor, and the scarlet eyepieces stared into the woman's tear-filled eyes.
Unspeakable extreme fear instantly overwhelmed the woman, and she collapsed, moaning softly.
"Please don't...don't..."
"Feel sorry."
The giant whispered softly, raised his right hand, and then swung it down with an unparalleled powerful move——
"How did the boys do?"
"good."
After the operation, Bahram conducted a mission inventory outside the slaughterhouse, and the Guardsmen were cleaning up the battlefield.
This mission achieved its goal perfectly. Not a single cultist escaped. The only surprise was that during the battle, a group of refugees unexpectedly broke into the edge of the battlefield. They were the bottom hive residents who lost their homes due to the hive city riots and were hungry.
So I decided to try my luck here and see if I could pick up some scraps.
However, they did not find food, but became the prey of the recruits guarding the perimeter.
Dozens of corpses were piled up in a mess and were about to be burned. Due to the long-term turmoil and oppression, their bodies were all as skinny as firewood, just like real firewood.
Bahram knew that it was not the recruits' fault, for it was he who had given the order to eliminate anyone who tried to escape or approach the battlefield.
Although this could be said to be a very slight manslaughter, he still could not completely erase the faces of their tragic deaths from his mind.
But this is war.
After gathering himself, Bahram looked at the end of the battle briefing, but unexpectedly saw a line of text.
"A new recruit let the enemy go?"
Sablin, who crossed his arms, nodded.
"Yeah, but luckily he was caught by the guards on the road and was just handed over to us."
"Call them all."
Soon, all the recruits were called in front of Bahram. There were 50 recruits in total. Their previous missions on the hulk had given them a certain warrior temperament, but it was not enough.
"Boban Haas of Team C, come out!"
As soon as Bahram's command came out, a recruit suddenly straightened his body, put his hands close to both sides of his thighs, raised his head slightly, and then stepped out of the queue.
He still looked a bit immature, with a few inches of hair on his head. Under the gaze of the veterans, he subconsciously wanted to lower his head, but he immediately stopped himself.
Bahram waved the data pad on his hand and said to him:
"Why did you let that cultist go?"
The recruit pursed his lips tightly and did not answer immediately. Li Lin suddenly yelled impatiently.
"Idiot! I'm asking you something!"
"Report to the commander! Because I can't do it!"
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers' eyes subconsciously turned to him, most of them with contempt. Only those in his team looked very helpless.
Bahram suddenly smiled, jumped back, and sat down on the huge metal ammunition box.
"Haas, I won't ask why you think this way. I just want to know if you understand the consequences of doing so?"
"Report sir! I know!"
"You know shit!"
Sabourin immediately scolded.
"You neglected your duty! Do you know how terrible it is to neglect your duty on the battlefield!? Your brothers trust you, trust you with their lives, and trust you with their backs. Any dereliction of duty on your part may kill them! If that
Not an ordinary cultist, but a leader? Or even a demon in disguise? If we are behind enemy lines now, and you let go of a messenger, it may attract a large number of enemies and make your brothers
Pay the price with blood for your ridiculous compassion!"
Bahram smiled and pressed his hand, signaling Sablin not to get excited yet.
Then he looked at the new recruit.
"Haas, I remember that you are a very disciplined person who always strives to do tasks perfectly. Therefore, I believe that you should know the consequences of your actions better than anyone else, but you still did it. I guess you
His compassion is not only because she is a poor woman? But also because she is pregnant?"
Saying that, Bahram looked at the other recruits.
"Do you think Haas did something wrong?"
"wrong!"
The queue responded neatly, even causing the guardsmen in the distance to cast curious glances, but they were quickly scolded and kept away by the officers.
