Chapter 3454 Terminal illness
After the rally, the bishop was escorted away by his bodyguards and mutated mixed-race acolytes. He passed through the winding underground tunnel, which is the underground of Sotalan, the largest city in Sotalan, and the administrative center of the planet. The Emperor's Scythes had no intention of excessive interference in mortal affairs, and even had a completely laissez-faire and delegated mentality to the people, and this tradition would also cause a devastating blow to them.
Sotalan is very close to the Fortress of the War Clan Monastery. Standing at the height of the city, you can see the towering top of the Faros Mountain from afar. The Space Marines believe that this can protect the civilians, and they will never think that the object they want to protect has long been betrayed.
The place the bishop was going to is the Sotalan Presbyterian House, which is also the highest authority in the Sosavanna society. Even due to the lenient nature of the Space Marines, the power of the Presbyterian Church has extended to the fleet and orbit. Even the successive commanders of the Emperor's Scythe have treated the Presbyterian Church very well and often listened to their opinions and demands. Especially the current commander of the Battle of Sothila, who can almost be said to be obedient to the Presbyterians, without exception, this Presbyterian Church was completely controlled by the Gene Stealer Sect a hundred years ago. They are just puppets of the Bishop.
When the bishop passed through the layers of guards and entered the secret council hall under the ground of the Elders' House, the fourteen elders were already waiting here. They sat in a circle around the circular conference hall in gorgeous robes and wrinkled faces with humility and respect.
Leaving the guards outside the conference hall, the patriarch walked into the aperture of the center and said very bluntly: "The time for ascension is coming. You have a lot of work to do. You have to cause all kinds of trouble for the Space Marines, telling them the difficulties faced by the civilians, the children are enduring hunger, and many people are displaced. They are ruthless cowards, and they are easily shaken by these languages. It is best to encourage some people to attack their fortresses. They cannot be believers, but must be unbelievers. They use lies and intimidation to create panic, so that they can escape where they think they are safe. In addition, try to slander the eighth company commander Wosuk, use your influence in the battle group to attack him from all aspects, from his origin, bloodline, and behavior, so that other company commanders do not trust him and exclude him."
All the elders nodded neatly like puppets.
"Yes, my lord."
"And, about Thrace—"
"And, about Thrace—"
Suddenly, the metal plates on the wall made a high-frequency tremor. The guardian suddenly raised his head and his protruding eyes scanned the ventilation duct - an alert system carefully designed by the sect, and the sensing glands implanted in the duct by mixed-race workers.
But the warning came too late. With the buzzing of phase shift, more than a dozen metal skeletons of peeling ghosts appeared from the void. The emerald-colored energy blade instantly penetrated the skull of the closest mixed-blood acolyte. They didn't even have time to scream, and the flesh and blood under their skin seemed to dissolve.
"Enemy attack!"
The bishop's psychic roar instantly exploded in the closed space. The three sharp claws that the guardian followed suddenly unfolded, activate the three metal cans in his hand, and the liquid metal-like mist sprayed into a mist barrier.
At the same time, the mutated hybrid acolytes rushed in from outside the door, frantically pulling the modified automatic gun. The bullets splashed sparks on the skinned metal shell, but they could only leave fleeting dents.
The guardian took the lead and drew out a scimitar to try to cover the bishop's evacuation, but something appeared on his head at an extremely fast speed. The guardian's reaction was as fast as lightning, and he directly waved his two blades and slashed it upwards.
With a click, the sharp blade was crushed in the shocked eyes of the guardian. The huge master of the Shanghun came with a mountain collapse. Before the guardian had other actions, he used his claws to lift it into the air, and turned it into a neat strip in half a second.
"What kind of monster is this!"
The bishop was stunned and immediately raised his hand to try to release his psychic energy, but Lakzan just let out a cold laugh, and then its jaw cracked into four pieces, releasing a wave of psychic interference that could not be captured by the naked eye.
"Ah!"
Amid the screams, the bishop's robe suddenly collapsed, revealing the ugly alien body. The Lord Shanghun directly defeated him with a blow. Not only did the seven holes bleed, but the sticky carapace continued to peel off from the festering muscles. In the chaos, the structure of the underground palace began to betray its builders. The skinned people had long left phase beacons here. A large number of skinned ghosts and huge tomb evil spirits continued to emerge in the shadows. The elders were torn apart one by one. The remaining mixed-race believers tried to retreat from the secret passage, but found that each passage was flashing with the faint light of the necromancer technology - the underground network they were proud of now has become a death maze set up by the Reapers.
Finally, when the last scream came to an abrupt end, Vargur pulled its claws out of the head of a mixed-race acolyte, and the splattered genetic material was annihilated by the entropy force field on the claw's tip before it even landed.
All the sounds disappeared, only the bishop's painful gasp. He found in horror that he was surrounded by monsters. There was only cold blood in their eyes, flashing on the ruins like an epitaph.
Suddenly he found that all the monsters lowered their heads, and then he floated up.
A cold big hand grabbed his neck from behind and turned him around.
At that moment, he only saw a pair of scarlet eyes - "Class leader, actually hid there."
Let go of his hand, letting the bishop's body, which was so shriveled that there was no drop of blood, smashed to the ground and split into pieces. Soshiyang in the air was chewing on the information contained in the alien soul.
Because the bishop and the patriarch had a special spiritual connection, when Soshiyan tried to spy, the patriarch also discovered it immediately and cut off the connection. The bishop even chose to break himself, but Soshiyan still got most of it.
In fact, as early as the meeting, he had observed in the dark. He originally thought that the bishop went directly to find the patriarch, but in the end he had a meeting first.

Soshiyan then guessed that the bishop must have a way to contact the patriarch remotely, so he was likely not to look for the patriarch before Tyron invaded, so he chose to take the initiative.
In fact, everything surprised him very much since he came to Sousa.
He didn't expect that a Space Marine's home star would be penetrated by alien cults like this, from the people to the army to the fleet, and even the battle group fortresses to be penetrated into sieves. He would never believe this in the past.
Should the weird shape be too cunning, or should the Emperor's Scythe be too incompetent?
After thinking about it, I just took these four words by myself. The Emperor's Scythe's leniency and laissez-faire for mortals is the root of everything. Turning closeness to the people into permissive people means that their thinking has been deteriorated from the moment they were established, and they even forgot that they were the violent machine that ruled.
Sousa's situation is bluntly ill and has no cure to save. Even without the Tyrann Worm Horoscope Fleet, the Emperor's Scythe will not escape the fate of destruction in more than a hundred years, because their source of troops has been completely polluted, and gene stealers do not even need to use force.
