Chapter 175: The Dark Apostle
……
Foundry No. 4.
Since the death of the Dominator, more and more enemy forces have flocked to the Engine Foundry and other nearby foundry districts to eventually take control of these areas.
Civilians died at the beginning of the war, then some in the looting, and the remainder of the population were scattered in various industrial facilities in the Foundry, either hiding in places they thought others could not find, or taking up arms to resist.
Casting Sector 4 was the most resistant, with three oath-broken Chaos Space Marines and an adjutant named Kween being withdrawn from the front lines and leading 100,000 mortal minions to exterminate the resistance of the entire Foundry.
When the forces of the Oath Breakers, led by Kwien, enter the Foundry to prepare for a bloody war with the Resistance, all they can see is the ruins of industrial facilities scattered throughout the Foundry.
Neither the Chaos Space Marines nor the mutated mortal minions thought there were living people, as the air quality in this Foundry was even better than in other Foundry Districts.
But Thorax's lieutenant, the Dark Apostle Kvine, doesn't think so.
As an apostle who spreads dark beliefs, Kvien is able to receive evil revelations and act upon them.
At the entrance to the Foundry Quarter, Kwynn held aloft a scepter with a sadistic symbol and ordered the oath-bearer space marines beside him, "Go and bring the captives." ”
The Space Marine, who was not very fond of carrying out orders from Kwynn, obeyed when he saw the scepter in his hand, and returned shortly after leaving to bring the captives that Kwynn had requested.
Kvien walked up to the captive and looked at him.
The captive's head was held by the Space Marine's large hands, and his legs, transformed into a machine, hung limply on the ground.
Mechanically modified parts can be found all over the captive's body, with a nose and iron lungs, modified to be more suitable for industrially produced pliers...... The quality of these mechanical parts was so poor that even the layman Kwayne hated them.
"Look at what the hell you look like." Kwynn looked at the captive with disgust, and a deep voice came out of his mouth, "The puppet emperor lackeys I saw are miserable enough, you bullshit god lackeys are even worse, you are simply slaves." ”
"I'm worse than a slave, but I know that if I fall into your hands, I'm probably going to be tortured to death, and I don't even have the qualifications to be your lackey." The captive said and glanced at the mortal servants of the Oathbreaker Gang, who had observed through his life as captives these days that they were already high-ranking among the traitors, and those who were thin and weak would most likely be skinned and hung on the soldering iron pillar.
"What do you know?" Kwynn looked at the captive with disdain, as if he wanted to pull him into the gang, "Wouldn't it be beautiful to become servants of the Blood God together and kill those bastards who oppress you on the battlefield?" ”
The captive opened his mouth and spat at Kwyn.
The phlegm was more like a lubricant used to lubricate the mechanical airways, fluorescent in the pitch black, and burned Kvine's eyeballs as it landed on his eyes.
"Give me a happy death, coward." The captives continued to provoke Kwynn and shouted words that made the traitors feel unbearable, "For the god of all machines!" For Ohm Messiah! ”
Kwynn wiped his face, complaining helplessly as he worked.
"I really don't want to waste my energy on rituals in this place."
"If you're smart, I'll give you a happy death."
The captive watched Kveen's every move with some nervousness, the guy was waving the scepter in his hand, not knowing what he was doing.
Moments later, the captives found themselves suspended in their bodies, large amounts of blood pouring out of their pores, and the skin attached to their limbs peeling off like a sol.
The intense pain made the captive want to scream, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he could not scream, and many horrific and terrifying images flashed before his eyes, tormenting his spirit.
The blood that flowed from the captives suspended like silk threads, connecting to the rest of Casting Sector Four.
Without Kwyne's command, the Oathbreakers knew what to do, and they split into small forces and traveled along the bloodline to the various parts of the Foundry.
When the first man reached the end of the bloodline, he found metal tiles on the ground that could be moved.
Others have discovered pipelines connecting industrial facilities and tunnels used to transport molten iron underground in the foundry.
These discoveries don't mean much to Kwyan, who doesn't know that the world of foundry is full of pipes and underground structures, and a casual glance can see thousands of pipes connecting industrial facilities together, and the key is where these chaotic pipes end up.
The bloodline continued to lengthen to show the way for all, and Kveen ordered everyone to follow the bloodline.
These pipes are more labyrinthine than labyrinths, some places are big enough for tanks to walk through, others can only crawl, and in other places you have to remove all the decorations on your body to squeeze through, and the people who walk are distraught.
But it wasn't for nothing, and when Kvine led a group of men along the bloodline into the underground caverns, he saw many people resting or training there, some of them Cathar soldiers, but most of them civilians.
Kveen looked at the civilians and smiled, holding his scepter and ordered, "Kill the cathars and those who have been reformed greatly, and take the rest away." ”
The Chaos Space Marines and mortal minions charged the survivors, easily eliminating the Cathar soldiers and servants before they could react and organize resistance, as well as civilians with minor mechanical modifications, but it didn't matter.
"Go and pile up the heads of the dead!" Kwynn gave the order again.
The mortal servants did so at once, and they took off the heads of the dead and piled them up together.
This skull pile is not a random pile, and if you want it to have some potency, you need to meet some hard conditions, so if there are not enough of them or the shape of the skull pile is not perfect, you need those controlled civilians to fill it.
Eventually, the skulls piled up into a small mountain, and the people of the Oath Breakers felt a sense of battle in their hearts when they saw it, while others either rushed towards the Chaos Space Marines with their bare hands or could only feel fear, and they were so frightened that they had to be careful to catch their breath.
As the people who suddenly became enraged were slaughtered, Kween looked at those who were too frightened to move, and ordered them: "Don't move, wait for us to return." ”
The civilians had all joined the resistance, but now they were suddenly devoid of fighting spirit, kneeling like slaves near the pile of skulls, nodding their heads tremblingly at the sound of Kline's wishful thinking, unable to generate any thoughts of resistance in their brains.
"Keep going." Kwynn nodded in satisfaction, turned around and led the others on.
