Boom!
Flas roared as an Imperial Guard warrior raised his flathrower, incinerating the swarm of flies that lunged at them.
As the charred remains of the black flies fell to the ground, Carter finally got a clear view of the plaza.
Corpses, nailed and mutilated, hung around the square, while rotting flesh piled up, crawling with mutated maggots.
His expression darkened even further.
"Damn heretics... how many people have they slaughtered?!"
The plaza showed clear signs of corruption.
If left unchecked, this corruption would likely summon far more terrifying creatures.
But fortunately, they had arrived in ti.
The periter still echoed with the roar of chainswords and boltgun fire—the Imperial Guard soldiers were still engaged in combat.
anwhile, Carter's elite squad had broken through to the core area, under the cover of the others.
They were here to execute a decapitation strike.
As the Governor's angels of war, they were about to show the heretics the aning of the Emperor's wrath!
A low growl echoed.
Carter imdiately beca alert, drawing his chainsword as he whispered:
"Stay sharp!"
Howls suddenly erupted as several mutated hunting dogs, each over two ters long, burst from the shadows, snarling as they charged at the Imperial Guard.
The nearest soldier reacted swiftly, raising his bolter and firing. Explosive rounds sprayed toward the beasts.
But the mutated dogs were incredibly agile, dodging most of the shots.
One of them leaped, vaulting over the soldier with the bolter, slamming into the Imperial Guard behind him, pinning him to the ground.
The beast savagely bit at the downed soldier, who used his forearm to shield vital areas while struggling to get up.
The mutated dog, however, had a strong suppressive grip, making it nearly impossible for the soldier to break free.
It was a terrifying situation—anyone caught alone by this beast would be torn apart.
Thankfully, he wasn't alone.
Carter swung his chainsword in a vicious arc, severing the dog's spine, sending blood and flesh flying!
The creature let out a final, pitiful yelp before collapsing.
But more howls rang out in the distance—several more mutated hunting dogs were charging at them.
"Draw swords!"
Carter commanded, pulling the downed soldier back to his feet.
From the earlier encounter, he knew bolters weren't effective against these agile creatures.
The chainswords humd as the Imperial Guard ford a line, standing firm against the approaching beasts.
With the stench of blood filling the air, the Imperial Guard remained unfazed, raising their swords and cutting through the dogs with precision.
Blood splattered, and the mutated dogs were hacked to pieces!
After dispatching the beasts, Carter quickened his pace, leading the squad toward the warehouse at the far end of the plaza.
Boom!
Carter kicked open the iron door to the warehouse.
The mont the door fell—
Bang, bang!
Two jets of green fire shot out from inside.
Clang!
The Imperial Guard shield-bearers reacted instantly, raising their massive shields to block the flas.
Inside the warehouse, two scarred flathrower troops cheered, cranking their valves to full power, unleashing torrents of fire.
"Burn! Burn the Governor's dogs! Hahaha!"
Clang.
Two small black objects rolled across the floor, catching the flathrower soldiers' attention.
They looked down and realized what they were.
One of the flathrower soldiers cursed:
"Damn it!"
Boom—
Two fragntation grenades exploded, sending shards of tal flying at high speed, ripping through the flathrower troops' bodies and puncturing their fuel tanks.
With a loud whoosh, the flas ignited the fuel.
The two soldiers were instantly engulfed in fire, screaming in agony as they ran about wildly, until they collapsed as charred corpses.
The red shields lowered, and Carter and the others stord into the warehouse.
At that mont, the Grey Wolf Warband elites inside finally ca to their senses.
They roared as they charged forward:
"Kill them! Slaughter them all!"
The elite Grey Wolf soldiers were heavily armored, wielding massive hooks, power saws, and steel blades.
They charged halfway across the warehouse when—
Ah—
The ground shook slightly as a louder roar approached from afar.
Sothing huge was barreling toward them!
"Get out of the way, quick!"
The Grey Wolf elites seed to know what was coming, and they scrambled to dodge.
But one of them was too slow. A large black shadow barreled straight into him, sending him flying.
His head slamd into a tal wall, splitting open like a smashed waterlon.
It was a massive mutant, its body covered in boils and embedded with various chanical implants.
Without stopping, the mutant charged directly at Carter with unstoppable montum.
Carter had no ti to fully dodge. Relying on instinct, he raised his chainsword to block, and in the next second, the mutant crashed into him.
The impact sent them both flying out of the warehouse.
The other Imperial Guards didn't turn to help—they trusted Captain Carter to deal with the mutant.
They silently regrouped and charged at the Grey Wolf elites.
Both sides swung their weapons, clashing in brutal, bloody combat!
...
Outside the plaza.
Carter was thrown again, skidding across the ground and leaving a trail in his wake.
He got to his feet, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Such an impact wasn't enough to seriously injure him.
Ah—
Not far away, the mutant shook its head, readying itself for another charge.
But Carter had already figured out its attack pattern.
Such a brute-force, reckless charge wouldn't work on him a third ti.
Carter stood his ground, calmly observing the mutant's approach.
As it lunged at him, Carter dodged at the last mont.
The mutant, unable to stop, crashed into the plaza's wall, bringing it down.
The creature grew even more enraged, slapping its head in frustration as it howled in madness:
"Damn tin can! I'll kill you, I'll tear you apart!"
Roaring furiously, it charged again, even faster this ti.
But Carter was quicker. As the mutant passed by, he grabbed one of its chanical implants and leaped onto its back.
Carter sneered.
A true warrior wins with wit and elegance!
He activated his chainsword, driving it deep into the mutant's back, the blade tearing through flesh and muscle.
Then, Carter threw the sword aside and plunged his hands into the creature's flesh, gripping its spine.
With a powerful twist, he snapped the mutant's spine and tore it out.
Blood, mixed with oil, sprayed like a fountain!
The mutant's roar weakened, and its body went limp, collapsing lifelessly to the ground.
Carter, drenched in blood, stood holding the torn spine, looking like a demon from the depths of hell.
He grinned with satisfaction.
"The Governor was right... always use your brain..."
When Carter reentered the warehouse, the Imperial Guards had already wiped out the Grey Wolf elites.
Now, only the leader of the Grey Wolf Warband remained.
It was said that he was the strongest mber of the Grey Wolf Warband and the one the Governor had specifically ordered to be captured.
As Carter led the Imperial Guards deeper into the warehouse, torches flared up, casting terrifying shadows on the iron walls.
There, in front of them, was a massive mountain of flesh, taking up nearly a third of the warehouse.
Black flies and parasites crawled and sward within the rotting body, while blood flowed down its greasy mass like rivers.
Facing these unexpected guests, the Grey Wolf leader finally spoke.
His voice was raspy, filled with unimaginable tornt:
"Ah... pain..."
