Chapter 271 Blood Angel
The battle with the Hell Dragon triggered a series of chain reactions in the nest area as expected.
In an instant, the originally peaceful building complex began to become lively. A large number of cultists and Chaos Raptors were surrounding and advancing in the direction of the battle, like a pack of wolves starting to hunt, and there were also a large number of Warp Demons among them.
These blasphemous creations were directly summoned into the real universe through the Warp evil magic. If the altars and magic arrays used for summoning cannot be destroyed in time, then sooner or later a large-scale demon army will gather in this magnificent nest node and launch a fierce attack on the lower area.
Under the leadership of Sergeant Levin, the team once again activated the [Unheard] system attached to the armor. During this period, they had collided with those Chaos Astartes and a large number of demons many times. At the closest time, a patrol team of cultists was only less than half a meter away from them.
However, perhaps thanks to the Emperor's blessing, the stealth system of this armor did not fail at the critical moment, but successfully helped them pass through the blocked areas without danger, avoiding the fate of being overwhelmed by the enemy like a tide.
After a period of hiding and marching, the sound array broadcasting center on the top floor of the hive city is now only a row of houses away. Through the barriers of the walls and streets, Levin and his party can clearly see that hundreds of signal towers connected in parallel in the distance look like a black steel forest.
That is the signal array in the center of the sound array, and it is also the mission target of Levin's team this time. In the past, the imperial government of the alert star issued orders to the various hive cities on the entire planet through this signal station, and its huge output power was even enough to make the signal clearly transmitted to the surrounding planets.
However, with the opening of the Great Rift, this place has now fallen into the hands of those chaotic forces, and has become a tool for traitors to spread fear on the planet.
While waiting for the patrol to leave, I watched the Chaos Raptors and Hell Dragons flying overhead and between the eaves. Soon, I heard a slightly worried voice in the team's communication channel.
"Those people in the church are less than 700 meters away from where we are fighting."
"I'm worried whether they will..."
When I heard this, there was only a dead silence in the team's communication channel.
Obviously, every member present was worried about this problem. If these blasphemous enemies discovered the existence of those mortals, they couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.
"Focus on your mission, that's not what we should consider now."
The person who spoke was Levin. Although he also had a bad premonition in his heart, it was not the time to be distracted, let alone return to help those mortals.
They had to shut down the sound array system that interfered with the Empire's command network before the enemy's main force returned, and at the same time cleared the anti-aircraft artillery controlled by the Chaos forces in the airport to open up a path for the subsequent counterattack plan.
"The Emperor will bless them."
As the voice fell, while the patrol team in the street gradually moved away, under the instruction of Levin, the 12-man team relied on the help of magnetic boots to successfully climb over the wall of the broadcast center that was already engraved with blasphemous runes, and landed smoothly in front of the signal array.
Even at this moment, the radio was still playing various uncomfortable sounds, or the shrill cry of women, or the terrifying roar, or the dirty words of Chaos Space Marines. These sounds have been causing trouble for the soldiers and civilians of Vigilant Star in the past few weeks.
However, just as the technical sergeant in the team was about to try to cut off the power supply of the signal array, as his eyes accidentally swept, a scarlet altar made of countless flesh and blood and mechanical servants in the main building of the sound array center not far away attracted the attention of Levin and others who were on guard.
At this moment, a Chaos Wizard of the Black Legion and a large number of cultists were performing some kind of blasphemous ritual with civilians in the nest as living sacrifices, trying to please some master.
At this moment, a familiar roar suddenly came from above the group's heads again. It was a Hell Dragon wrapped in flames. Fortunately, the other party did not notice the traces of Levin and his group, but landed directly on the roof in the center of the sound array, and threw several tightly tied dirty sacks from a dilapidated gap in front of the Chaos Wizard.
At first, the team members were secretly glad that the demon did not notice their existence, but the next second, in Levin's serious expression, several cultists opened one of the sacks that was still shaking weakly, and the woman in the bag was the woman the team saw in the church not long ago.
Then, under Levin's extremely reluctant gaze, as the tie of another bag was opened, a thin and sallow arm was the first to stick out from it, and then the girl who was distributing rations to everyone in the church was pulled out by a mutant believer. At this moment, Levin felt as if his breathing was forced to stop.
With only a glass separating them, Levin watched the girl and the young woman being brought to the front of the Chaos Fragments by the cultists, and after being examined by the wizard.
The woman was pressed down by the demon cultists in front of the blood-stained altar. Everything happened so quickly that she couldn't even make a wail. In the blink of an eye, the dagger took the woman's life. The scarlet blood flowed from her throat and flowed along the groove on the ground into the blood pool several meters deep not far away.
Witnessing the bodies of mortals tortured to death in front of the altar, countless mortal heads were floating up and down in the boiling blood pool with the scarlet water, and the wide-mouthed expression of horror seemed to be screaming.
For the first time, this was the first time he witnessed a cult ritual at such a close distance. At this moment, an unknown emotion emerged in Levin's heart.
He was shocked. The impact of this scene on him was far beyond the holographic images in the simulation training.
At this moment, Levin only felt that the world in front of him became dim. Through the reflection in the glass in front of him, for a moment he seemed to see the bloody and broken archangel.
At this time, the angel with dark eyes stood behind him. When Levin wanted to look away from the horrifying scene in front of him, the angel just stretched out his hands from behind and held Levin's cheeks with a calm face.
The other party seemed to want him to see clearly what those chaotic bastards had done, and to engrave the scene that was about to happen in his mind forever.
This will become a compulsory course for him
