Warhammer, but Emperor's Chosen

Noah entered the side alley and shouted in the sound array channel.

The Terminator team filed in and quickly dodged the Locust Destroyers that attacked head-on.

boom!

The disintegration beam fired again, but failed to hit the enemy who had already moved into the alley.

The wall of the building on one side of the alley was hit and quickly disintegrated like sand.

The upper part of the building, which lost its support, collapsed rapidly, crushing several Necrons that had chased into the alley like a huge steel boulder, and also blocking the rest outside the alley.

Until the Gauss Separator in the hands of the Undead completely decomposed these obstacles and cleared a passage.

Although it wasn't much, it did buy the team some time.

Bang bang bang!

There were still Necrons blocking the way along the way, but they were all easily dealt with by explosive bombs. The team's pace was not delayed, and they kept moving towards the target building unwaveringly.

In the distance, several black pyramid-shaped "buildings" were flying towards them. Under their triangular cross-sections were huge green portals, and a steady stream of Necrons were passing through the portals from inside the "buildings" and leaping from the sky to the ground.

"This won't work. If we can't destroy it, the enemy will be endless."

Sicarius gripped the power sword tightly and said in a deep voice, "I'll kill it!"

"No, we're here!"

Noah was the first to cross the arched entrance of the building, but Amrad immediately stepped forward and blocked him with the huge Terminator armor.

Two Soul Drinker veterans wearing Iron Knight Terminators blocked the entrance, using storm shields and the force field shields of the Terminator armor to block enemy fire, while firing back fiercely with their bolters, providing cover for some of the Ultramarines who had fallen out of line.

The team went down through a large number of buildings and archways. The Necrons obviously did not expect them to go so deep, and at the beginning they did not even encounter any enemy obstruction.

“This place is like a tomb!”

Sicarius observed the surrounding buildings through the scanning device on his helmet and frowned.

"It's either like or it is!" said Noah.

The Necrons' surface cities are merely gateways, guarding the entrances to the catacombs.

It was pitch black all around, with only the faint green light coming from the intricate patterns that looked like circuits.

Those huge metal plates like tombstones are engraved with the language and words of the Necrons, recording the entire process of their race from conquest, crushing, death to "sublimation".

Of course, not everyone can read their writing.

Noah couldn't read it, but knowing a little about the history of the Necrons, he could guess part of it based on the 'hieroglyphs'.

The Space Marines had no idea, they just used the scanning system on their helmets to take pictures of the scene out of their warrior instinct. If they could get out of here alive, these pictures might become excellent first-hand materials for studying the Necrons.

Buzz buzz~!

In the darkness, rustling sounds came from all around.

The Terminator veterans quickly formed a circle and opened fire all around, with a dense barrage of explosives directed at the underworld beetles that were coming from the ground and the air.

Hundreds of underworld beetles were blown into pieces by the explosive bombs, and the gushing molten heat burned all the underworld beetles in an entire area to ashes, without even a chance to repair themselves, because their "petite" bodies could not withstand the shooting of the explosive bombs and the massage of the molten heat.

But despite their overwhelming numbers, some of the ghost beetles still stubbornly flew in front of them.

Snapped!

A ghost beetle landed in the Terminator's defense circle and quickly crawled towards the only unprotected mechanical priest present.

Sicarius's face turned pale, and he was about to turn around and step on the underworld beetle to death.

But Nono took the initiative to squat down, touched the ghost beetle with his mechanical arm, and chanted in a low voice:

"Machine Spirit, please listen to my voice."

Strangely, the ghost beetle suddenly stopped attacking and lay on the ground obediently.

As well-behaved as a pet dog.

Just a bit ugly.

Buzz~!

There was a light flickering in its 'eyes', as if some virus was spreading rapidly along their 'network'.

In just a blink of an eye, the overwhelming number of underworld beetles suddenly stopped working in an instant.

The ghost beetles crawling on the ground and walls stopped where they were, and the ghost beetles flying in the air fell to the ground like ladybugs with their wings folded. Even though the Space Marines' bombs were destroying them quickly, they remained motionless and silent.

Nono said:

"Don't worry about them, let's move on."

Boom!

The dull sound of the bombs gradually stopped, and the Terminator veteran looked at the motionless underworld beetles in silence.

Sicarius looked puzzled:

"what have you done?"

“A code.”

Nono explained truthfully, "We can hack into their systems and control them in reverse."

Sicarius remained silent. He didn't understand why there was such a code, but it was obvious that Noah and the others knew these aliens very well and must have come into contact with them a long time ago. It was reasonable for Noah, as a great sage, to develop such a code to invade the enemy's system... right?

The ghost worker beetles rested on the ground, allowing the Terminator squad to pass through them and make their way down.

After they had left for a long time, there was a rustling noise coming from the back again, accompanied by the sound of a Gaussian decomposition gun firing.

What's going on there isn't hard to guess.

Although the principle is unknown, this can indeed buy them more time.

-----------------

A ghost worker beetle scurried across the ground, moving expertly between the graves.

In a corner unknown to the Terminator team, it quickly crawled to a wide hall underground.

Countless undead souls were sleeping on both sides of the hall, and countless ghost beetles were working hard.

The appearance of this ghost beetle did not attract any attention. It was just an ordinary ghost beetle. What bad intentions could it have?

The underworld beetle stopped where it was and observed the surrounding environment, then crawled straight to the central control system.

Then, it extended a thin metal spike from its body and pierced into it.

-----------------

Noah led the team down and quickly passed through an open archway, surrounded by moving machinery and dark metal.

as well as.

Human corpse.

Naked and skinny.

It was hung on a hook that ran along a track in the ceiling, delivering the body to some kind of device.

Gleaming robotic arms deftly dismembered the head and limbs of the corpse, placing the bloody limbs on a carefully designed conveyor belt that carried them to the other end of the room.

Dozens of ghost beetles are carrying out the next step of processing. Their sharp "teeth" peel off the skin and muscles of the corpse, and divide the organs and bones into neat piles, as precise as the work of an artist.

Like a disassembled puzzle, the body was completely broken into pieces, then fed into another machine that compressed them into a ball and stacked them neatly against the wall of the room like cargo.

Another body was sent along the ceiling track, and the previous steps were repeated.

Inevitably, blood was spilled everywhere.

The conveyor belt was filled with reddish-brown dried blood. The bodies of the ghost beetles were dripping with blood, leaving tiny blood spots on the ground as they flew over.

Amrad asked in a deep voice:

"Are there still humans here?"

Looking at this disgusting scene, Cassia frowned and said:

"They must have captured them as slaves."

Luke's face was gloomy:

"The Necrons are torturing them? Just like the Dark Eldar?"

Sicarius said:

"If they were going to torture them, we wouldn't be seeing corpses!"

He observed the corpses. Although they were skinny, there were no obvious signs of being whipped or tortured.

There is no point in torturing the dead; only the living deserve to be tortured.

Rather than torturing them, this is more like some kind of canning factory, using machines to simply and efficiently process the "animal" carcasses into different parts for classification and sale.

"Do they need food?"

Luke found it unbelievable. There were many aliens that ate humans, but did these metal monsters also need to eat to replenish their energy?

Click!

Something creaked in the ceiling, as if something was hanging from the ceiling.

"Brother, save me...save me..."

The girl's faint sobbing and cries for help came from the ceiling.

Noah looked up and saw a Necron crawling on the ceiling with its limbs, looking at him with a hideous skull face covered with a female human face. It was making sounds, imitating the victims it had killed.

Its limbs were longer than those of other Necrons, and its body was covered in fresh human skin.

Blood and viscera filled its metal chest cavity, and a human skull and spine were pierced in its chest, with blood dripping slowly from inside.

Now, they finally know what the dismembered bodies were used for.

These Necrons infected by the Flayer's curse have long been driven mad. They have a strong desire to devour the flesh and blood of the living, cover themselves with their skins, and satisfy some uncontrollable hunger and greed.

boom!

Noah immediately pulled the trigger, and a plasma bullet penetrated into the Skinner's chest. The explosion and high temperature evaporated its metal body and the flesh and blood it had devoured. Its broken limbs fell to the ground with a clang due to loss of power.

But it's like a signal.

More and more Skinners came towards them from the ceiling and from other entrances of the room. Although the Terminator team remained on high alert, they were completely unable to detect when they appeared!

Without exception, they are all covered in flesh and blood.

Some were fresh, but some had already rotted and turned black, filling the air with a strong stench of corpses.

"what--!"

They let out shrill, crazy cries and crawled towards them madly using all four limbs.

These Flayers seem to have far greater flexibility than other Necrons. They can crawl on ceilings and walls at incredible speeds, and their limbs can be twisted at some strange angles.

In the small room, these twisted monsters were rushing towards them madly!

Bang bang bang bang!

The explosive shells and plasma salvos tore through the bodies of the flayed ones with a dense barrage.

The explosive bombs blew their metal bodies into pieces, and the plasma completely vaporized their bodies.

Cassia glared at the Skinners that were swarming towards her like a tide, and the screams of the Warp instantly killed dozens of Skinners.

A flayer leaped down from the ceiling and grabbed Sicarius' head with its sharp metal claws at incredible speed, but Sicarius reacted faster and slashed its body with the power sword, cutting it in two from shoulder to waist.

It was not dead yet, and was still trying to claw at Sicarius' ankle with its sharp claws.

Until a bomb penetrated its metal skull and blew its upper body apart.

Hundreds of Flayers were killed, but more emerged from the shadows.

No one knew when they came, just as they didn't care how Noah and his companions came. They were like hungry and crazy beasts, tirelessly killing Noah and his companions.

The rustling sound was heard again. Amrad's face tensed and he pointed the gun at the door.
