Chapter 1541 The Cult Den
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 also close enough that obvious words could be picked out.
Although they all speak Gothic, Low Gothic is often not very different from the alien language, so Bahram is not familiar with the whispers of the cultists.
"Prepare for battle, brothers."
With weapons drawn, they moved toward the red light emanating from the chamber.
"Now they are all prey."
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 mark that it was roughly excavated from the original sewer by external forces.
However, the ancient blood stains 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 a crimson mist floats from this bloody swamp. Rising from the mire are ledges like solid islands in a pool of blood, the largest of these islands. Many cultists gathered above.
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. Almost everyone in the city from low to high status could be found. Mortal appearance.
They knelt in front of an altar built with 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 is a priest wearing a scarlet robe. He hides his face behind a crimson mask like a hound's head. He is shouting strange prayers, which echo in the empty room. .
"They. They have polluted 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 then clenched it into a fist.
"For the Emperor, leave no one behind."
In response to him, Sabourin suddenly pulled out his gun and shot at the chandelier on the ceiling, instantly knocking out three chandeliers. Shoot them all down, 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! You have betrayed the Emperor and humanity, and you must bear the price of madness!"
Li Lin laughed and waved his hands, the huge lightning claw was about to strike. A storm of broken meat and mutilated limbs arose in the crowd, while Sablin held a gun in one hand and a sword in the other, calmly slaughtering every life around him, while Bahram had silently cut down dozens of lives.
“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 sacrifice your mother!"
Li Lin kicked the guy who shouted Khorne's reputation. Two pieces, then mercilessly waving his arms in chopping and piercing motions, piercing the skull and breaking limbs.
In just a few heartbeats, a dozen people were dismantled into parts.
Compared with Li Lin's frenzy, Sablin was closer to the precise anatomy. He first cut off an arm with a sword, causing it to spin in the air and spurt out a fountain of hot blood, and then slashed it down Split a mad woman's head in half, and the brains flying from the broken head were scattered 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 drove the spikes of its axes into the Space Marine's arms, but to no avail.
In the face of terrible power, any resistance is meaningless. With a flick of his wrist, he broke the poor guy'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 behavior. Desire for abuse.
As soon as he finished speaking, a screaming cultist rushed up and was immediately split 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 sublimated!”
On the chaotic battlefield, the masked priest roared loudly. Unlike his crazed followers, the leader of the cult remained standing, his eyes wide behind the hound mask, as the Space Marines broke into the hidden temple. .
“The blessing of the Blood God is about to come!”
At this time, Bahram realized that they had forgotten this guy at first. Maybe he gave people too much impression. Weak.
So he gave the order.
"Li Lin, shut up that wild dog."
"Okay! I suggest his skin be used as a wipe for the Chapter's servants."
Hearing the Space Marines insulting 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.
"Guardians of the Blood God, please walk among us!"
Faced with the approaching giant, the cult priest still chanted crazily.
"Give your disciples your wrath, and let us slay the blasphemers who desecrate your holy place!"
Scarlet energy pulsed from the altar and seeped into the glowing body.
Soon, the cultist's skin darkened to the color of old scabs, and his body began to swell and deform, with bones stretching 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 look. In this man's painful body, a vicious wave of The power is burning.
“What is this?”
Bahram glanced at the altar, saw the scarlet creation, and said loudly:
"It's just a demon, leave it to me!"
Then, he suddenly accelerated, his blade like the wind 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.
“Bah, you spent so much effort to get this?”
