Chapter 274: A groundworm shakes a tree
As the battle approached, Soshiyang's senses began to become sharper, and even the surrounding environment slowed down.
This allows him to understand the battlefield and make the best decisions for his team to win.
One cultist had already fallen under the precise fire of Priest Yazdan, but nine more cultists emerged from the bushes and launched a series of attacks on them.
Although the bullet casings have not yet hit the ground, Riemann's ears have filtered out other noises on the battlefield, allowing Soshyan to discern that these cultists are using automatic weapons. Then he raised his arm and turned to aim Bullets flying by themselves.
Three crisp cracks later, all three bullets ricocheted harmlessly off the armor, and, with their positions exposed, he fired back at the enemy.
With the help of the Terminator Server Assisted Shooting system, he doesn't even need to aim.
Only the first shot hit the target, and a cultist fell to the ground. Before his body realized that the right side of his brain was no longer where it should be, and became limp. He twitched briefly.
The subsequent strafing directly knocked down all the cultists who emerged, without wasting a bullet.
Similarly, the shooting from the bushes became more intensive, and this attack became more sustained and precise.
A white-haired cultist in a trench coat was directing the shooting, and he seemed to know what he was doing and what he was attacking - Soshyan was a little surprised by their courage.
The Astartes team as a whole noticed the subtle changes in the direction of the battle. They began to adjust their shooting targets and focus on the cultists who were commanding the battle.
Soon, the white-haired cultist commander had both legs broken by bullets and fell to the ground wailing.
Under this devastating volley, the cultists could only huddle behind their bunkers and tremble, their tactics rendered meaningless in the face of the power displayed by their enemies.
“The coward will fall into hell, the brave will ascend to heaven!!”
After realizing that their position was about to be impacted, the enemy's next move was completely beyond Soshyan's expectations.
Under the call of a certain slogan, they did not conduct covering fire and retreat. Instead, they made the exact opposite choice and charged towards these figures in power armor who were advancing step by step.
A soldier swung his automatic cannon and fired a hail of white-hot bullets in the direction of four enemy soldiers. The metal's heat flow wiped them out in an instant, and also burned the surrounding area. Large shrubs.
When the heat scorched and vitrified the ground below, the bush also burned up.
The cultists still held their sticks and knives high and continued their charge.
Farzad, who was also charging, immediately came in front of them, but when he dared to cut the first person, a explosive shell passed by him and hit the cultist's torso.
The left arm of the guy covered in tattoos was completely torn off from the shoulder down, and thick scarlet blood spurted out from the stump.
But the others still did not fall. They rushed towards the angel, tried to pull him to the ground, and began to attack him with melee weapons.
Farzad grabbed one of the men by the throat and strangled him as his enemy pathetically tried to club the Space Marine, then with a swing of his axe, shattered the skull of the other, and again In mid-breath, he grabbed the hooded face of a cultist, dug his fingers into his eye sockets, and then dug into the skull of the Chaos worshipper.
At the end of this crazy act, the bare-chested cultist could only use a machete stained with his own blood to smear meaningless marks on the Astartes' power armor.
Farzad's fighting style is brutal but also efficient, and Soshyan has no intention of changing him.
Because before the end of this battle, more blood will be spilled, and it will be up to them to spill the blood of the enemy.
Similarly, more lives will perish in this distant world, because at this moment they are agents of fear and death.
The blade will never stop until the enemies are killed and the mission is completed.
When the last resisting cultist fell, it suddenly rained from the sky, extinguishing the burning flames of the forest.
Soshyan simply estimated that they killed more than a thousand cultists in about five minutes.
The entire ground was densely covered with broken corpses. Blood mixed with rainwater seeped into the soil, dyeing the brown earth into light red. But such a death is not worthy of his concern. Whether active or forced, these people have deviated from the right path of mankind, and death is their only salvation.
After gathering the team, Soshyan continued to move towards the destination.
When they were about to arrive at the Ministry of Justice Fortress, they encountered a small village.
The team immediately dispersed, and when they solved the village, they found that there were many dirty tents left outside the village. It was likely that this was the stronghold of the defeated group of cultists.
Farzad raised a pile of rags with the end of his power ax with a look of disdain.
"Dirty heretic, look at this place, it is even filthier than the animal pen."
"The area is safe."
Yazdan responded standing at one end of the camp Well, they haven't found any enemies so far.
Soshyan simply knocked down a small house, but there was nothing inside except a few bones and the embers of a bonfire.
"There is nothing here."
An unusual silence fell all around, and even the animals in the grass did not make any noise.
“These guys are so pathetically weak that a single explosive bomb can blow them up to nothing. They actually rebel against the Empire?”
“Quiet.”
< br>
Soshyan raised his hand, and then motioned to the priest to take off the oracle from his waist.
Yazdan lowered his head and looked at the display above. At this time, there was an explosion sound in the distance, and the Space Marines spread out into a defensive formation without thinking.
Soshyan tightened his grip on his chainsaw halberd.
“It sounds very lively over there.”
Farzad joked:
"Chapter Commander, why don't we leave this place alone and just go over there and fight. That would be much more glorious than exterminating this group of weaklings."
"I said be quiet!"
Farzad snorted, but did it anyway.
The regular calls of the oracles became the only sound in the surroundings. The camp was very small, with only three ring-shaped buildings, surrounded by a protective wall made of mud.
"There is a life signal over there."
Yazdan pointed to the north with his oriole and said.
“Maybe we can go take a look..”
“Chapter Master, we should fight a more interesting battle.”
Farzad He said to Soshyan through the communicator, with a little dissatisfaction:
“There are only ruins here, and at most there are weak mortals.”
