Chapter 959 The Stranger
Applewhite Manson was born in a decaying hive city. His mother was a prostitute and gave birth to him when he was sixteen.
Since she didn't know who his father was, his mother gave him the surname of her favorite lover.
When his mother fell into the hive's bottomless sewers due to an overdose of hallucinogens, Applewhite was left to be raised by his aunt.
Although his aunt is a devout believer in the state religion, his uncle is a psychopath. He has taken pleasure in humiliating Applewhite since he was a child, not only making fun of his figure, but also deliberately dressing him up as a girl. , and then scolded him for being a pervert.
Twelve-year-old Applewhite couldn't stand the various atrocities his uncle treated him, and finally killed his adoptive parents and set fire to the house one night. However, this kind of thing was not uncommon in the hive city, so he was not hunted down. .
Afterwards, Applewhite wandered on the streets. Due to his past experiences and lack of normal teaching, his character and personality began to be distorted to the naked eye.
In other words, when he was born into a world filled with people who were surrounded by predators, injustice, fornication, deception, and muddling along, his future could in fact have been foreseen.
Later, Applewhite founded the "Heart-Gawker Family". In fact, it was not a family, but a murderous group composed of perverts and criminals. Most of its members were young wanderers and scavengers.
If this were the case, then Applewhite would be just the most inconspicuous among the vast number of anti-social criminals in the Empire. But when he inadvertently saved the life of a wizard who was being hunted by the Ministry of Justice, The trajectory of his life has changed dramatically.
Applewhite learned about Chaos beliefs from wizards and learned many "lies" about the Empire, so the purpose of his killings changed, from simply releasing violence to praising the dark gods and evil forces.
If that was all, then he was just one of the key members of many cultists in the empire, but in the next ten years, the Black Legion's plundering fleet came to his planet.
Destiny once again gave him a "big gift".
When the leader of the warband split open the unlocked door of the Anglican Church, Applewhite was already sitting on the pile of corpses of 320 people slaughtered in the name of the Four Gods.
So Applewhite took refuge with a well-known Black Legion combat assistant, and truly entered the field he "dreamed of".
Day after day, month after month, year after year.
From battlefield to battlefield, from planet to planet, Applewhite slays for the Four Gods.
He realized that the more he respected the master of darkness, the higher his status would be in the eyes of them and the four gods, and the changes inflicted on his flesh and blood would become more intense.
Slowly, his face became more like a corpse, and more in line with the wishes of those powers of destruction.
Correspondingly, when there is no fighting and killing, he will also become tortured, as if he is suffering from lack of oxygen.
Therefore, when the legion launched an expedition against Pai Shang, he couldn't wait to participate and immediately went into battle.
He has harvested a hundred heads in this world, but it is far from enough, far from enough -
"Sir, look!"
Suddenly, An obscene voice interfered with Applewhite's prayer to the four gods. He raised his head angrily, ready to slap the guy with a spiked glove, but found that everyone on the defensive position seemed to have their necks pulled by invisible hands. , desperately looking out.
He also cast his gaze and was suddenly startled.
Under the dim light, three huge figures walked out of the smoke. Their armors were stained red with blood. Their chests, shoulder armors and leg armors were all covered with bloody human skin, and they were also tied around their waists. Several bloody heads, holding blood-stained chainswords in their hands.
None of them were wearing helmets, but their faces seemed to be covered with messy tattoos, and no specific appearance could be seen.
But that doesn’t matter anymore.
"Great Blood God, why are these grandfathers——"
Looking at the approaching bloody giant, Applewhite couldn't help but groan, wondering what the hell he had hit. If you're lucky, you'll run into these guys.
The other cultists also looked frightened. Not all Astartes in the Black Legion wear black armor. In fact, many Khorne believers still maintain their "piety" and insist on painting their armor blood red, but this is not the point.
Everyone knows that Khorne berserkers are the most difficult to get along with, and their emotions are unpredictable at all times, especially to mortals.
Killing makes no difference to them, whether it is an imperial person or a slave of the Legion.
Cultists who died at the hands of Khorne Berserkers were no less than those who died by Imperial laser guns, so all cultists who are not Khorne cultists have a consensus.
Stay as far away from these lunatics as possible.
"Strange, why did three people suddenly appear?"
But Applewhite had also been on the battlefield for many years. After the initial surprise, he suddenly became confused.
Logically speaking, all Astartes have their own areas of responsibility. He did not remember his superiors telling him that three Khorne Berserkers would pass by or come to support.
For safety reasons, Applewhite took the copper horn aside and said loudly:
"Three gentlemen, we are the Heart Digger warband under Lord Ilkander Pillay. We are responsible for defending this area and ensuring the attack route of the follow-up troops. Please stop first and inform us of your intention."
The three giants did not stop, but continued to move forward silently.
Applewhite frowned, feeling a little uneasy.
"Boss, are you crazy? How about we hide for a while?"
Sadistic berserkers often fall into madness without distinguishing between friend and foe because they are too addicted to killing. Therefore, the leaders around Applewhite had begun to tremble, fearing that they would encounter such trouble.
"What are you afraid of!"
Kicking the leader away, Applewhite picked up the trumpet again.
"Sir, don't make it difficult for us!"
Finally, one of them spoke, with a wild and rough accent.
"If you stop talking nonsense, I will kill you losers! We have our orders! The Astartes of the Empire are here! Do we have to rely on you losers!?"
"Sir, please wait a moment, I need to ask my superiors for instructions!"
"It's none of my business what you ask for! Don't block the road, otherwise this will be your fate!"
See The other party patted the head on his waist threateningly, and Applewhite sighed. It would take a few minutes to ask his superiors for instructions at this time.
Of course, there are only three people on the opposite side. With their firepower and numbers, they can still block it, but if they do that, they may not end well.
Is his master willing to turn against a group of Khorne berserkers for their sake?
Applewhite had no idea.
As for whether it might be disguised by the enemy, he didn't quite believe that this would happen. After all, the Astartes of the Empire were full of glory and arrogance, and they should not be able to do such a thing.
"Forget it, open the door, everyone stay away."
The cultists hurriedly moved the barricades and opened the door, then cowered in the fire, watching The scarlet giants were approaching.
As the three Khorne Berserkers approached, the strong smell of blood stimulated everyone's nerves, and even their every step would leave a bloody footprint on the ground.
