"Your new blood...... Well cultivated. I almost thought they were all veterans. ”

Gorette said to Martins.

After completing the capture of the surface part of the storage center, when the troops were cleaning up the remaining resistance of the building, the supreme commander and the adviser of the operation finally had the time to get together and talk a little more.

For Goritte's compliment, Martins was both proud and a little embarrassed.

"Well, they're doing very well, and this is the new blood that the Governor has trained and cultivated. In the way the Immortal Bird is trained...... You can't train this effect so quickly. However, they still don't deserve the praise of your 'veteran', and there are too many immature places. ”

"Indeed." "That's why I say 'almost.'" They do not do a good enough job in some areas, such as not being ruthless enough when they attack, being more strict in their ability to follow dogma and adapting to changes is a little worse, and they don't know how to better protect themselves on the battlefield......"

She talked about a lot of shortcomings, and Martins nodded frequently.

It's all true.

The attack is not ruthless enough, this is because there is not enough blood, not enough training, and I don't know how to use the tragic battlefield situation to give a stronger psychological blow to the enemy who is still alive; Enemies who have not been beaten and do not know that those who have given up resistance may also pull out their weapons and shoot a black gun from behind.

Their ability to adapt to changes is not enough, because they have seen too little, they dare not change the inertia of thinking imprinted during training, and at the same time, it is difficult to think of better ways to deal with it in a short period of time, and the ability to make more targeted judgments based on the uniqueness of each battle is missing.

Not knowing how to protect themselves is manifested in the fact that they are not proficient enough in the way they use their own power armor - the Governor's training for them obviously does not include this part, and half a year of space marine-specific training is not enough for them to completely turn all their skills into instinct and use them as they please. In addition, the assessment of risks is not accurate enough when making some action decisions. Recklessness is not the problem, ignorant recklessness is the problem.

But......

"But even if there are problems," said Goritle...... "it is only nitpicking, and it is only by asking them to find fault with them by the standards of a truly battle-hardened veteran." But in reality? I've seen several warbands, and some of their recruits, some of whom have been full-fledged Space Marines for several years, have similar problems. And if they can really get rid of all these faults in their bodies, some of your warbands will not be new blood, or even just formal soldiers, but a group of elite veterans. ”

Speaking of which, Gruet looked at Martins with a smile and continued, "Seriously, a year and a half ago, I was in a heavy mood when I first saw you at the Angry Star. Although I really hope that you, old comrades-in-arms, can get back on your feet. But reason tells me that what happened to you at that time will inevitably lead to extinction in the future. What I didn't expect is that in a year and a half, you really have signs of recovery, and I'm really happy for you. ”

At this point, Martins was nervous.

On the one hand, the blessings of old friends are of course something that makes people happy. But he was afraid that Gruet would suddenly ask them where the genetic seeds came from.

But immediately, he reacted again, and Gerret should not have such doubts.

The two of them hadn't had a careful conversation about the situation of the Immortal Bird Warband, and Gruet didn't know that the Band's gene pool had all been lost. Now, seeing the new blood of the new eight warbands, her natural reaction was that the genetic seed bank accumulated by the undead bird warbands was working, and she didn't think about what the governor had done in it.

It's impossible for anyone to think that way, because that's unrealistic.

Even if Gruet was a little puzzled, he was also puzzled about why the success rate of the new blood of the warband cultivated by the Governor Lord was so high.

But these are questions that Martins doesn't deliberately raise, let alone answer.

If it's mistaken that the warband's seed bank is still there, that's a good thing.

Although, Martins himself is no longer bothered with this problem now. As long as the genetic seed is pure, and exactly the seed of an immortal bird, that's fine. He didn't want to dig into it himself, let alone break it down.

He, Pastor Rizzo, and two other veterans had resolved to keep the matter deep in their hearts.

……

The reason why Martins and Goritus are chatting here is because they are waiting for their warriors to find further clues.

The surface part of this storage center obviously wouldn't be the headquarters of the original Raging Cult itself.

According to the intelligence, their headquarters is underground.

These cultists are guarding this place with all their might, which probably proves that this is the only way to their headquarters.

It's just that where this entrance is, they haven't found it for a while.

Both the Battle Nuns and the Witchers are doing this.

And the first to get the results is the witcher.

A lady came to interrupt the small talk.

Martins remembered her.

This is Miria de Jong, one of several squad leaders in this team of witchers. Martins also knew that she had made a lot of contributions to the Alliance's anti-rebellion operations some time ago.

And at this moment, the girl captain, with a flushed face, reported a message to him:

"We've found an entrance to the underground!"

"Oh? That's good, thank you for your work. Martins said this first, then turned her head and smiled at Grayt, "It seems that the Witchers of the Alliance are a little better than your Battle Nun in this regard. ”

Gruet didn't think it was better: "It's better to save trouble." ”

Martins turned his gaze back to see that Miria de Jong seemed to have something else to say.

He frowned: "If there is any information, please report it in detail." ”

"Yes!" De Jong is a spirit.

She has always been a character who is not afraid of heaven and earth. However, when facing the Emperor's Angel of Death, looking at the other party's majestic body, her height had just reached the other party's stomach, and she had to try to look up to see the majestic face of the captain of the Martins War, she still felt a very heavy sense of oppression in her heart, so that she was a little cautious in her speech.

She said cautiously: "It's not that it doesn't report in detail, it's just that this situation is ...... We're not so sure ourselves......"

Then, she explained the discovery of the demon hunter to the war leader in detail.

After hearing this, Martins did furrow his brows.

According to the demon hunters, they found the underground entrance to the cult headquarters, in addition to the fact that they do have relatively specialized skills in search and exploration, but there is also a very important factor, one of them has a special skill of 'sensing souls'.

This, after activating his abilities, found that the slain rebels, especially the sorcerers in gray robes, or even blue robes, symbolized the white points of light of their souls, faintly drifting towards one place through a certain path.

His statement made the other demon hunters feel a little strange. But in the spirit of how much it was a clue, they still let a few people, follow the so-called 'soul light spot' that they perceived, and go to investigate.

It's really rewarding.

They found a very secret passage in the ventilation duct. When I went along the ventilation duct to the position of a very thick support column inside the building, it turned out that this support column turned out to be a fake, but in fact hollow, a downward pathway.

He didn't act rashly, but just sent people to guard there. If necessary, you can blow up that pillar, expand the position of the passage, and then swoop down from it.

But before that, the demon hunters were quite concerned about what their companion had discovered about the passive drifting of souls back to the cult's headquarters.

“…… We think that's a bad sign. De Jong was no longer so nervous when he said this, and his expression naturally took on a very serious look, "Those cultists are obviously doing something, and this is probably their dying struggle in despair. But...... We now have too little information to know exactly what they're doing. ”

Martins clearly took this clue seriously.

In the past, the experience of fighting various heretical cultists many times has taught him that he should never underestimate these human traitors who have sold their souls to some unknown existence. They're always going to make a big deal in some places and cause terrible damage.

Martins turned his head and asked his advisor, "Do you have any ideas?" ”

Gruet frowned, "I...... I'm not sure, but it could be related to a piece of information we've gathered......"

Later, Gruet also shared what she knew.

She spoke quickly and urgently, and told Martins to give the order to assemble the troops and prepare for the attack.

According to her, if the situation that the demon hunters were observing at this moment was really the same thing as the information that the Battle Nuns had investigated before, they would have to act as quickly as possible.

Martins was as good as she could, and while ordering the troops to assemble and prepare for the blast, she also listened carefully to what Gruet had to say.

The core goal of the Primordial Rage Cult, a local cult, is just like many cults seen in the starry sky, that is, to let the evil god they believe in descend into the world.

And when it comes to them, this is not false, but it is a real possibility to come true.

Because the evil god they believe in, the original angry owl, is an existence with archetypes, beliefs, and spiritual energy. This can be seen from the incarnation of the angry lord who was called out in the big incident they engaged in Fuxing City.

Since this is a prototype deity born of a native faith, its power can be truly projected into the real world.

This monster should be in the abyss of the spirit world at the moment, but it is inextricably linked to the angry star. The Primordial Raging Cult believed that if they did something right, the evil god would be called into the world.

One of them is the large number of soul sacrifices.

This large number may refer to the number of millions, or even tens of millions.

This was the main reason why they had targeted Fuxing City a year and a half ago: the Angry Owl at that time was the only place where enough people gathered in a small area.

If they were to do something similar in the North, the scattered personnel would be a big problem. Even the Polar Industrial City, the largest city in the north, has only half a million people.

However, after the failure of the operation in Fuxing City, they were subjected to tremendous pressure from the garrisons of the Sisters of War and the North Central Province, and it became very difficult to carry out the operation of the evil god to enter the world normally.

The Sisters of War once caught a high-ranking figure of the cult, revealing the radical faction of the sect, or rather the desperate faction, who proposed a plan to forcibly activate the revival of the evil god.

Sacrifice as many people as they can, and even use all the sorcerers in their sect as seeds, and sacrifice them all together, at any cost.

This move has led to huge divisions within their sects. The opposition sees this as a purely senseless sacrifice. Because this will not succeed in completely awakening their God. At most, only one powerful avatar can be summoned.

But if that's all there is to sacrifice at the expense of the entire sect, it's not worth it.

“…… But according to our current intelligence, such a crazy idea should be an absolute minority among them. But ......"

Martins continued with her words: "But if the critical moment of their life and death comes, they may have no choice but to fight to the death." ”

"So we have to do it as soon as possible." "The only good news is that the only people they can sacrifice now are those who died in the Polar Industrial City today, and the number will not be very large. The biggest main force is still the cultists themselves. We must sabotage their plans as quickly as possible, or we will be in great trouble if they only summon an avatar. ”

"I understand."

Between words, the Demoman is ready. Space marines, battle nuns, and witchers are all on the side.

Without wasting time, Martins gave the order, and the passage that was disguised as a pillar of the building, but was actually leading underground, was blown open.

The blasting was carried out by a veteran of the Space Marines, and the craftsmanship was quite good, and the amount of explosives and the location of the installation were just right.

An irregular circular passage of about 6×6 appeared in front of them, with a ladder going down.

After the passage was blasted, the cultists hiding below apparently reacted, and voices came from inside.

But there's not much to think about at this point.

"Down, down!" Martins called, and he was the first to leap down in the Terminator Power Armor.
