  Chapter 706 Bell Tower

  【Timer: -78.30.05】

Marius led the first company to gallop all the way on the Fury Blade, and they rushed to the location of the Bell Tower at the fastest speed. Although the news Marius heard was unbelievable, but now, as an extreme Warrior, and one of Guilliman's four champion warriors, Marius must take on this important task.

   However, in addition to this, there is also a group of strange guests on this battleship.

   "To be honest, I don't think you should be here."

  Marius stared at Duanmuhuai in front of him with a serious expression. If only he appeared here, then Marius might not have said much. But looking at the girl sitting on Duanmuhuai's shoulder, and the girl standing beside him doing calisthenics, Marius felt that he had to say a few words.

   "I also avoid it just in case."

   Duanmuhuai smiled slightly.

"After all, you are no different from ignorant children in fighting against the evil gods of the subspace. I am really worried that if you capsize in the gutter and die in it, maybe Guilliman will think that I have played some tricks, so be safe. For the sake of it, I'd better walk with you."

   “Ultimate fighters are battle-tested, combat-experienced fighters, and we can handle any situation.”

   "Be careful what you say, kid."

   Duanmuhuai glanced at him.

   "Horus fell in the hands of the evil god, and a large number of Astartes fell to their knees at the feet of the evil god. Don't you think that your first company is more powerful than Horus and his Shadow Moon Wolf?"

  “………”

  Of course Marius didn't dare to say such nonsense, but that's not the point of his objection.

   "No, that's not what I meant, Mister Judge, I mean... We shouldn't bring children to the battlefield for this kind of mission."

   "They are no ordinary little girls."

   Duanmuhuai laughed.

   "Trust me, they are not much worse than the Astartes under your command, and maybe they can save your lives this time."

   "Report to your lord."

   Just then, the voice of the communication tube came.

   "We have contacted the Bell Tower, but..."

"What's wrong?"

  Marius turned his head and looked at the communications officer, who had a terrified expression.

   "You better come and listen."

  Marius walked up to the communication officer, and the latter turned on the communication again.

   "This is the Fury Blade of the Fifth Fleet of the Thirteenth Legion. We will conduct a routine inspection. Please answer when you hear it."

  “………”

  However, there was no response from the other side. Marius frowned and listened carefully, and then he heard it.

   That was a scream.

"ah……!!"

It was as if countless painful souls were being tortured, and their screams came from it. It was sharp, tearing, and painful. Even if Marius was just standing here, there was a sound in his head. There was a terrifying and **** picture. In the cabin full of blood, the crew members screamed as their skin was cut and their bodies were torn apart. Their souls wailed in pain, and they...

At this moment, suddenly a hand stretched out to turn off the scream, which made Marius stunned for a moment, and suddenly came back to his senses, turned his head and saw Duanmuhuai standing beside him. behind.

   "It's bad for your health if you listen to it too much. It's better to listen less."

"what is that?"

"The wail of the soul, this battleship has become a lair of evil, and the poor creatures serving on this battleship have been turned into victims of the blood god, their bodies have been transformed and corroded, and their souls will be imprisoned forever in On this ship, suffering in endless pain."

  “………”

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Marius twitched the corner of his mouth. He wanted to say that this was nonsense, but the strange scream just now did make Marius feel an inexplicable feeling in his heart. mood.

  So he didn't say much, but turned around directly.

   "Ready to board."

  A Thunderhawk fighter flew out of the Blade of Wrath and came near the Bell Tower. The battleship was advancing unswervingly at this moment. From the outside, it seemed to be in normal order, and there was nothing unusual about it. The brightly lit windows were also normal. After the identification signal was issued, the door of the hangar opened slowly, and then the fighter jet flew into it and docked on the deck.

   Then the hatch opened, and Marius led the soldiers of the first company out.

  When they saw the scene in front of them clearly, they couldn't help being surprised.

  I saw bloodstains everywhere on the deck in front of me, a large amount of blood covered the steel floor, and even **** handprints and some strange looking evil marks could be seen on the wall.

   "My Emperor, what happened here?"

   "A massacre."

  Duanmuhuai also led Augis and Lorena out of the fighter plane at this moment, glanced around lightly, and then looked at a mark painted with blood on the wall.

   That is an eight-pointed, outwardly flared mark.

   "The name of the eight layers, the trick of the evil **** of chaos."

  Duanmuhuai snorted coldly and looked away.

   "It seems so."

  Marius also quickly calmed down at this moment, scouting the surroundings, planning before acting is the consistent style of the Ultramarines Legion, studying the enemy, dealing with the enemy, discovering problems, and solving them.

   "There was obviously a firefight here, and there were heavy casualties. Although we don't know who the attacker was, why didn't we see any corpses here?"

   "You'll see them."

   Facing Marius' question, Duanmuhuai shook his head.

   "Their bodies have been polluted by chaos and turned into demons. As long as we move forward, they will appear in front of us. I believe you will regret seeing them."

   "Are you talking about mutations like those psykers?"

   Marius frowned.

   "If it is a similar situation, then I have seen some, some psykers will distort into some kind of terrible monsters because they cannot grasp the power of the subspace..."

   "Worse than that."

   Duanmuhuai shrugged.

   "You won't believe me when I tell you, so you'd better see it with your own eyes."

"keep going."

  Marius hesitated for a moment, but quickly made a decision. In other words, he didn't have anything to decide. After all, after arriving on this ship, they had only one choice left.

   That is to go in and see what the **** this ship is doing.

  The metal door opened slowly, and a dark and gloomy corridor appeared in front of everyone, with blood on the floor and traces of filth everywhere. Seeing this scene, Marius frowned involuntarily, then he looked upwards, and then his eyes widened in surprise—only corpses hung one after another densely on the ceiling , Judging from the dilapidated uniforms on their bodies, they should have been the crew of this battleship before they were alive, but now, they are like chickens hanging from the ceiling, with blood flowing out from their bodies everywhere, turning into blood. Drops of blood fell to the ground.

"This is……"

   "Sacrifices, rituals, cultists can't come up with any new tricks except for this little ability."

Duanmuhuai held the hammer tightly and walked in with great strides, followed by Lorena. Seeing this, Marius didn't say much. He calmed down quickly and made a few gestures to indicate that the first The company's soldiers followed.

  The scene in the entire Bell Tower is like hell. Marius considered himself well-informed as one of the four champion warriors under the Primarch. He has followed Guilliman to destroy alien races and orcs, but the strange atmosphere in this battleship is still beyond Marius' expectations. They walked through the corridor carefully, and then came to a gate .

"Ready to fight!"

At this moment, Duanmu Huai grasped the hammer tightly and assumed a fighting posture. In fact, needless to say, Marius also sensed a group of enemies madly rushing towards them from the violent tremors on the ground and the sound of footsteps. Come. He immediately raised the bolter in his hand, aimed ahead, and formed a defensive formation.

  The next moment, the door opened, and then dozens of huge, bright red, wild dog-like monsters roared and jumped out of it, scrambling to rush towards the prey in front of them.

   "Fire!"

The gunshots sounded, and bullets shot into the bodies of these weird monsters, tearing them into pieces. At this moment, the fighting qualities of the extreme fighters were fully displayed, although these fighters didn't know what they were facing. things, but they still instinctively follow the patrol process, just like a weapon or a machine, no matter what happens to them, it will still operate according to the rules.

   A large number of blood dogs were knocked down to the ground, and Duanmuhuai brandished a warhammer to smash those who managed to get close to it into meat paste. But this was just the beginning, and soon, gunfire rang out from the opposite side. Then Marius and the others saw several strangely dressed guys holding imperial weapons and firing at them.

   Dealing with these people, the Astartes did not hesitate at all. They opened fire again, blasting these struggling mortals with precise and ferocious firepower. Then Marius led his men straight into the hall and rushed forward.

  However, at this moment, a tall figure suddenly emerged from the side, holding a battle ax high in his hand, and slashed at Marius head-on.

  At this moment, Marius felt that the blood all over his body was coagulated.

This is not because of fear, but because he clearly saw the appearance of the other party. He is wearing armor that is almost exactly the same as his own, but this armor has been dyed bright red at the moment. I don't know if it is the color that was smeared or seeped blood. , Not only that, Marius had even seen the Astartes wearing this set of armor, and he knew his name.

But now, this Astarte has completely disappeared from Marius' memory. His skin is bright red, and a pair of horns protrude from his head, piercing straight upwards. Burning in the eyes is the anger and hatred that almost destroys everything.

   It was the usual Marius, who could quickly escape even if he was attacked, but this time, his brain stopped thinking. Although he has heard the truth from Loken, Tarvitz and others, Marius still didn't know what to do when he really faced an attack from an Astartes warrior—— The military manual written by Guilliman covers almost every aspect, but he does not write about what to do when one Astartes is attacked by another Astartes.

   After all, Astartes have always been like brothers, and they will never point their weapons at another Astartes.

Not only Marius, but even the soldiers of the first company behind him were also stunned by this completely incomprehensible and unimaginable situation. At this moment, they were like ignorant children who didn't know How to deal with the current situation.

   But okay, not everyone will be shocked by this.

  The roaring Thunder Hammer swung past Marius, and hit the Astarte directly, knocking it into the air, and then Duanmuhuai appeared in Marius' eyes with the hammer on his shoulder.

   "What are you still doing in a daze, watch out, this is your enemy."

   Afterwards, Duanmu Huai spoke.
