Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 175 Dark Apostle
……

Foundry Area 4.

Since the Magi's death, more and more enemy forces have poured into the Engine Foundry and other nearby forges and eventually took control of these areas.

Some of the civilians died at the beginning of the war, and then some died in the looting. The remaining small population was scattered in various industrial facilities in the foundry area, either hiding in places they thought others could not find, or taking Armed with resistance.

The resistance in Forge 4 was the most serious. Three Oathbreaker Chaos Space Marines and an adjutant named Kwain were withdrawn from the front line and led a hundred thousand mortal servants to exterminate the resistance in the entire Forge.

When the army of the Oathbreakers entered the forge under the leadership of Kewen, preparing for a bloody war with the resistance, they could only see the ruins of industrial facilities everywhere in the forge.

Neither the Chaos Space Marines nor the mutated mortal servants think there are living people here, because the air quality in this forge is even better than other forges.

But Thorax's lieutenant, Dark Apostle Kwain, didn't think so.

As an apostle of the dark faith, Kwain can receive evil revelations and act on them.

At the entrance of the casting area, Kwain held up the scepter with the symbol of Khorne, and ordered to the Oathbreaker Space Marine beside him: "Go and bring the captives here."

The Space Marine didn't like to carry out orders from Kwaine, but he obeyed after seeing the scepter in his hand, and returned shortly after leaving to bring the captives Kwaine demanded.

Kwain walked up to the captive and looked him over.

The prisoner's head was held in the huge hands of the Space Marine, and his mechanically transformed legs hung limply on the ground.

Mechanical transformation parts can be seen everywhere on the prisoner's body, such as the nose and iron lung, and the modified pliers hand that is more suitable for industrial production...The quality of these mechanical transformation parts is so poor that even a layman like Kwain dislikes it.

"Look at you." Kwain looked at the prisoner with disgust, and his low voice came out of his mouth, "The lackeys of the false emperor I saw are miserable enough, you shitty lackeys Worse, you are simply slaves."

"I am worse than a slave, but I know that if I fall into your hands, there is a high probability that I will be tortured to death, and I am not even qualified to be your lackey." With a glance at the mortal servants, he observed through the life of captives these days that these servants are already high-ranking people among the traitors, and those who are thin and weak will most likely be skinned and hung on the iron post.

"What do you know?" Kwain said with disdain and contempt for the captive, as if he wanted to pull him into his gang: "Wouldn't it be great to become the blood god's servant together, and kill those bastards like priests who bully you on the battlefield? ?”

The captive opened his mouth and spat at Kwain.

This phlegm was more like a lubricating fluid used to lubricate the mechanical airway. It emitted fluorescence in the pitch-black environment, and when it landed on Kwain's eyes, it burned his eyeballs.

"Give me a happy death, coward." The prisoner continued to irritate Kwain, and shouted out words that made these traitors feel uncomfortable, "For the god of all opportunities! For the Om Messiah!"

Kwain wiped his face, and complained helplessly while working.

"I really don't want to waste energy on rituals in this place."

"As long as you are smarter, I will give you a happy death."

The captive watched Kwain's every move nervously. This guy was waving the scepter in his hand, not knowing what he was doing.

After a while, the prisoner found that his body was suspended, a large amount of blood was pouring out from the pores of his body, and the skin attached to his limbs fell off like a sol.

The intense pain made the prisoner want to cry out, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't cry out. Many horrific and frightening pictures flashed before his eyes, tormenting his spirit.

The blood flowing from the captives was suspended like a silk thread, connecting to various parts of the No. [-] casting area.

Without Kwain giving an order, these people of the Oathbreaker Warband knew what to do. They divided into small groups and went to various parts of the foundry area along the blood line.

When the first man reached the end of the blood line, he found metal floor tiles on the ground that could be moved.

Others have successively discovered the pipelines connecting the industrial facilities, and the underground passages used to transport molten iron in the foundry area.

These discoveries are meaningless to Kwain. Who doesn't know that the foundry world is full of pipes and underground buildings. At a glance, you can see thousands of pipes connecting industrial facilities together. The key is these messy pipes Where will it end up.

The blood line continued to extend to point out the way for everyone, and Kwain ordered everyone to move along the blood line.

These pipes are more labyrinthine than mazes. Some places are big enough for tanks to walk through, some places can only be crawled, and some places even have to remove all the decorations on the body to squeeze through. chaos.

Fortunately, it was not in vain. When some of the people led by Kwain entered the underground cave along the blood line, he saw many people who were resting or training here, some of them were Skitarii soldiers, but most of them Most are civilians.

Kwain smiled at these civilians, held up his scepter and ordered: "Kill the cathars and those who have been reformed a lot, and take all the rest away."

The Chaos Space Marines and mortal servants charged the survivors, and easily wiped out the Skitarii soldiers and machine servants before they could react and organize resistance. On the way, some civilians with little mechanical transformation were also affected, but it was irrelevant. critical.

"Go and pile up the heads of the dead!" Kwain ordered again.

Immediately the mortal servants did as they took the dead man's head and piled it together.

This pile of skulls is not a random pile. If you want it to have some effect, you must meet some hard conditions. Therefore, if the number of skulls is not enough or the shape of the pile of skulls is not perfect, you need those controlled civilians to fill it up.

Eventually the skulls piled up into a hill, and those of the Warband of the Oathbreakers would feel a sense of war when they saw it, while others would either charge the Chaos Space Marines with their bare hands or feel nothing but fear, I was so scared that I had to be careful even to breathe.

The people who suddenly became enraged were slaughtered. Kwain looked at those who were too scared to move, and gave them orders: "Don't move, wait until we come back."

These civilians all participated in the resistance, but now suddenly they have no fighting spirit. They knelt down near the pile of skulls like slaves, and nodded tremblingly after hearing Kwain's wishful thinking order, without any resistance in their brains. idea.

"Go ahead." Kwain nodded in satisfaction, turned around and led the others to move forward.
