​​

Bahram surveyed the seaside building, its remnants pierced from the overgrown rubble, and the whole ruin reeked of death and blood, a stench long enough to seep into the stone. breath.

​​

Before the rebellion broke out, it was a slaughterhouse, where fish and other beasts of the sea were dragged from the docks by sailors to be slaughtered, and thrifty fishermen harvested every part of their prey, the least The attractive ones became the food of the bottom hive dwellers, the bones were ground into powder as the waste of distant farmlands, and finally the natural food served on the table of the nobles.

​​

The Space Marine, however, felt a disturbing familiarity with the place.

​​

His eyes roamed the neighborhood, trying to restore what the building looked like not long ago.

​​

"The recruits have been deployed."

​​

A shadow approached Bahram, revealing his figure as he turned his head, and made no secret of the laziness in his voice.

​​

Sabrin, who was wearing dark silver armor painted with the lightning symbol, squatted beside him, followed by eleven "veterans" of the Eleventh Company, including Li Lin.

​​

During Talos' absence, the acting chapter commander Ustad handed over the task of leading the eleventh company to Bahram and made him the acting company commander. At this time, he was leading the recruits to undergo an actual combat training, and The battlefield is a hive where rebellion has broken out.

​​

In fact, the rebellion was quelled five days ago, but the source of the rebellion has not yet been determined. This time Bahram leads the Eleventh Company to pull out the cancer that has been rooted in the nest for a long time.

​​

"Do they all understand what to do?"

​​

Bahram asked in a low voice, Sabrin nodded.

​​

"They have been told, and they are responsible for watching and listening, as well as dealing with peripheral enemies, and leaving the rest to the veterans."

​​

"Heaven Comes"

​​

In fact, it is not appropriate to use veterans to describe Sablin and others, because they have not served for a long time, but in the 11th Company, they are indeed the only veterans.

​​

"I hope you have warned them. I will read the records of this operation carefully. Any action by anyone will affect their responsibilities in the company and the chapter in the future."

​​

The recruits were divided into groups, each group mixed with several veterans.

​​

But Bahram is well aware that the modified recruits have many advantages over the Mortal Guard, but vigilance and discipline are not one of them, especially in the unique company of the Eleventh Company.

​​

Recruits need to be on the lookout, listen in all directions, and stick to their posts no matter what. If they see any cultists trying to escape through a hidden door or secret passage, they must immediately alert the fugitives and deal with the fugitives.

​​

Of course, if someone breaks into the battlefield, they will also be regarded as cult members and will be killed.

​​

Bahram hopes to destroy the entire cult this night, not letting one slip through the net.

​​

Originally, a few of them could do these things, but the real purpose of the action was to teach the recruits to learn responsibility and discipline.

​​

"Then let's act."

​​

Sabrin turned around in front of Bahram and signaled to the warriors around them. The Night Demons began to move, entered the slaughterhouse in the ruins, and walked slowly in the eerie silence.

​​

Although they were wearing power armor, they didn't make any noise in their actions.

​​

They figured out the guard's deployment in this stronghold long ago, and knew that if outsiders approached their evil temple, the guards would rely on the click of debris disturbed by footsteps to warn.

Bahram carefully walked to the place where the secret door was hidden. According to the captive's intelligence, when the cult gathers, the entrance will be firmly blocked.

​​

Soon, they reached the gate. Li Lin stepped forward and used the cutting beam to cut the edge of the sunken door panel.

​​

No matter how hard the cult tried to block the door, they couldn't resist the power of the Space Marines, and it only took them a moment to open the door.

​​

The hinges tied to the surface of the gate were silently torn by the beam, and then the steel bars were shattered by a huge force, all in complete silence.

​​

At the moment the door was slammed open, half of the soldiers rushed into the gap, their movements were as swift as a black cat in the middle of the night, and the other half responded outside the door.

​​

As soon as Bahram came in, he smelled the filthy blood wafting from the big pit ahead.

​​

"Spread, move."

​​

Bahram issued an order, and under his gesture, the three Night Demons descended into the pit, followed by him and Bahram, and the rest of the guards outside the door followed.

​​

Sabrin and Li Lin were at the forefront and were responsible for dealing with the enemy sentries.

​​

It didn't take long for Bahram to see the first sentries to be processed—three crumpled figures scattered in a pool of tainted blood on the floor, each with the insignia of Khorne on their foreheads.

​​

The walls of the underground passage are ancient rocks, with a layer of old blood scabs on the surface, and the ground is crimson mud in which bloated leeches are crawling.

​​

Bahram could feel the odious stain in the air, and he wondered how long this cult had flourished, so that the place was filled with traces of filth.

​​

Perhaps this evil had been prevalent here long before the rebellion broke out.

​​

Vaguely, another noise came from far away.

​​

"This way."

​​

With sign language, heavy boots stirred the blood-stained soil, and fat leeches wriggled on rotting flesh in the canal.

​​

"This must be part of the old sewer."

​​

Sabrin came to Bahram and cast his gaze to the vaulted ceiling above his head.

​​

"This explains...blood, when the slaughterhouse was still in operation, it was here that people dumped the blood in vats."

​​

Bahram nodded.

​​

"But now this kind of filth can't be called simply blood. It is more like summoned through dirty rituals, resurrected from the resentment and cruelty of the dead, and twisted into something that does not belong to reality. A typical manifestation of chaotic pollution."

​​

Bahram paused for a while, and narrowed his eyes when he considered the evil power that filled his surroundings. After becoming familiar with the gray marrow, he had a certain degree of recognition of the power of the warp.

​​

"Huh? It seems a little unreasonable. If it is a temporary madman cult, it should not be able to evoke such power."

​​

Then he shook his head.

​​

"Forget it, dealing with cults is the top priority.

​​

As the team moved through the dark passage, the noise in the distance grew louder.

​​

They took several forks along the tunnel, and at each fork a fighter was deployed. If any cultists strayed from here, they would surely collide with the fighters guarding the exit, leaving a clear escape route. record, and forced them to choose the only few routes to escape, but the recruits were already waiting on the periphery.

​​

But the only downside of this is that when it comes to the end, there are only five people left in the team: Bahram, Sabrin, Li Lin, and two other fighters.

​​

But for Eleventh Company, this was still enough.
