Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 176
The Oathbreakers warband was quick to clear the Fourth Forge of the resisters, making sure nothing was missed from the branch routes scattered across all the conduits.

Everything was going on efficiently, and even though Kwain, who organized the operation, left halfway, the others continued to clean up the casting area according to his orders.

No one slaughtered captives unless it was really necessary.

The three interstellar warriors of the Oathbreaker Battleband suppressed their anger throughout the process, because they knew that these captives had great uses to turn the tide of the battle, and indiscriminate killing would only lead to the fate of everyone in this war.

The cleanup operation lasted for three days, and after the operation was over, the three space warriors and the mortal servants carried all the prisoners back to the foundry.

A total of more than [-] captives were all chained and marched on foot under the supervision of the enemy.

Yao En has already mixed into it, he is bound by chains like everyone else and moves forward silently, only occasionally observing the surrounding situation.

After driving for a day and a night, the captives were getting closer and closer to the foundry.

When passing through the wall outside the foundry, Yao En observed everything here.

Blasphemy brass marks are everywhere on the wall, and the Chaos Space Marines of the Oathbreaker Warband are stationed on the wall, there are more than 300 people.

All that remains are armies of mortal servants, and freaks that are half flesh, half machine.

All this puzzled Yohn, as he could not find Chaos Space Marines and minions from other warbands.

With such doubts, Yaoen continued to move forward, gradually approaching the core area of ​​the foundry.

……

After a while.

Yao En and other captives were brought into a building that looked like an arena, some captives were escorted to the foundry, and the rest were taken to the cell area and locked up.

The space marines and mortal servants of the Oathbreakers battleband locked the adamantine door and left, not wanting to miss the gladiatorial fight.

Yao En saw that many prisoners were held in this dark cell, and in the opposite cell were not only mortals, but also some Chaos Space Marines.

These traitors have all kinds of strange looks, some of them are covered with pustules and pus is flowing out of the gaps in the power armor, some are wearing blue power armor and their limbs have serious mutations.

Yao En wondered why he couldn't see Chaos Space Marines from other warbands just now, now he has the answer.

Apparently there has been infighting between the various warbands.

However, Yao En felt that it was unlikely, because on the way to the No. [-] foundry area, he also saw space fighters from different warbands fighting side by side... Of course, it is not ruled out that only the foundry side has infighting.

"They were used for rituals." A deep voice sounded from behind Yao En.

Yao En turned his head and saw a person standing up in the dark and dark corner of the cage, walking towards him.

It was a strong man with a height of [-] meters, much larger than others.

Starfighter.

Yao En immediately recognized the identity of this strong man.

This Astartes didn't have any mutations. He wore an Imperial double-headed eagle emblem on his waist. It didn't look like a Chaos Space Marine, but an Astartes.

Astarte walked up to Yaoen and knelt down, staring at the opposite cell, and said in a low voice: "Most of the warbands should still be fighting side by side, but this group of oath-breakers stabbed knives in the back. Some of the other warbands who were left alone."

"You said they were performing a ceremony?" Yao En asked suspiciously.

"Yes, a gladiatorial ceremony." Astarte nodded. "They will have mortals fight mortals, space fighters fight space fighters, and then the blood will pool and be absorbed by a statue...I think this is the ritual."

Yao En thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

After the two observed for a while, Yaoen suddenly asked: "You look different from those space warriors in the warband..."

"A child without a mother is a long story," said the Astartes, a very rare remark.

Yao En searched the memory in his brain, and suddenly remembered that Qin Mo once said such words when he was alone, like proverbs and other philosophical words.

"White Scars, Chen Ye." Astarte said his name, and then began to explain to Yao En why he appeared here.

Chen Ye was an Astartes of the White Scars Chapter with 100 years of service.He and another battle brother named Balutai came to the Forge World, and asked the tech-priests here to help repair the Terminator power armor.

The ruler sage received Chen Ye and Balutai, and the two were waiting in the foundry, and then the invasion began, the engine foundry and the surrounding area fell, and the two were also arrested and forced to fight.

"Balutai is dead." Chen Ye clenched his fists, "I have to avenge him."

"What's the use of you telling me these things? I'm just a mortal." Yao En didn't reveal his true intention of coming. In his opinion, Chen Ye, the Astarte, might not be a friend.

Maybe he is part of the conspiracy... The blue-armored space warrior locked in the opposite prison looks like a follower of a Chaos God who likes to play tricks.

"Because you are different from other people." Chen Ye said as he glanced at the other trembling people in the corner of the prison, "We have to cooperate."

When Chen Ye said these words, he didn't avoid anyone at all. Although there were no guards from the Warband of the Oathbreakers on this side of the prison, there were space fighters from other warbands in the prison on the opposite side.

However, after Chen Ye finished speaking, the space warriors in the opposite prison all looked at him and nodded.

Obviously, in the current situation, the people in the prison have reached a consensus.

"I've got to get out and tell my brothers what's going on here," said the blue-armored space marine, "but we really don't need to take a foul-smelling soulless with us."

"Don't think so far, if we can escape, we have to fight each other to win." The space warrior covered in pus broke in.

Chen Ye held the railing made of fine gold tightly with both hands, and said angrily: "If you bastards hadn't invaded the foundry world, how could I have fallen to this point? If I could escape, I would definitely hang your corpses on the motorcycle, and then go around Drive the foundry for a hundred laps!"

"I'll feed you a mouthful of venom after I get out, but don't worry about it now, young man."

"Screw you!"

"..."

"Stop!" Yaoen interrupted the scolding, and asked everyone: "Who is in charge of the ceremony?"

Yao En came to prevent the ceremony, he planned to kill the person in charge of the ceremony directly, otherwise he would not be caught unless he wanted to.

"Dark Apostle Kwain, a bastard holding the scepter of the mark of the blood god." The blue-armored space soldier replied, "It's useless for you to ask this, why don't you ask me, a psionic master, if there is a way to get us out."

"Fuck your psionic powers! You guys who play witchcraft are always talking about gods and gods, predicting psionic powers every day, but you didn't even notice that there was no one in your battle gang, and your battle brothers are still foolishly giving science Thorax is the thug!"

"I don't want to talk to a pussy guy, sorry."

Yaoen felt that these space fighters really had no other way to get together, let alone escaping, it was not a matter of whether they could survive the gladiatorial battle outside.

Yaoen also didn't want to get involved in this matter, silently remembered the appearance of the dark apostle that the blue-armored space warrior said, and was ready to kill him as soon as he appeared.
