Warhammer 40: Saviors Emerging from the Bottom

The amnesty officer's bullet was aimed straight at Liu Bang's forehead; a hit there would have been an immediate death sentence.

"Anyone who opposes the cult must die!"

Malcolm holstered his gun and prepared to look for his next target, unaware that his bullets had missed their mark entirely.

Looking at the bullet that was about ten centimeters in front of his forehead, Liu Bang broke out in a cold sweat. If he had been any slower, he would have been going to meet the emperor.

With a flick of his finger, Xiao Yi sent the bullet flying into his hand.

"Pardoner, there's a sniper here."

Upon hearing the word "sniper," the others immediately sought cover.

"Can we take care of him?" Liu Bang asked, looking in the direction the bullets were coming from.

The Liu family has strong genes; most of them are cut from the same mold.

Although the details may differ slightly, a closer look will reveal their similarities.

Liu Bang used his highly recognizable face and the ring on his hand to persuade the nearby garrison troops who had participated in the rebellion to abandon their evil ways and return to the embrace of the empire.

If given more time, he might be able to win over half of the private soldiers.

"You continue, I'll take care of that sniper." Xiao Yi vanished from his spot.

Having learned his lesson, Liu Bang dared not openly expose himself to the enemy.

He summoned the private soldiers of the nearby governor's mansion and sent them to tell their comrades the truth about the rebellion.

If anyone wants to verify the truth of the matter, they can just come to him. Right now, his most important task is to save his life.

Xiao Yi didn't have a second person with the surname Liu who could prove that the other party was a rebel.

On the other side, Malcolm shot and killed another soldier who was putting up a stubborn resistance.

"The 14th one, huh?"

Malcolm frowned, and the dangerous aura emanating from his side made him instinctively dodge backward.

As an elite member of the Slaanesh Order, he underwent various brutal training programs from a young age, with sensing impending danger being one of the most important aspects.

Those who fail this course will never live to adulthood.

However, Malcolm seems to have forgotten that he is no longer a nimble young assassin, but an overweight middle-aged man.

Even after taking over this body and exercising every day, Malcolm still couldn't keep his weight within the ideal range.

His excess fat became a fatal flaw, as the power sword, glowing with a scarlet light, sliced ​​off a chunk of flesh from his arm.

The intense pain caused Malcolm to let out a piercing scream.

"What's going on?"

To make assassins immune to pain, the Slaanesh Cult uses a special technique to modify the pain perception system in the assassin's brain, transforming the pain signals generated by the responding nerves into pleasure.

This technique is performed when the killer is still an infant, meaning this is Malcolm's first experience of pain.

Xiao Yi didn't let him suffer too much torture; he directly pierced his heart with a sword, killing him completely.

"Something's strange; his soul and body don't seem to match."

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the unfamiliar assassin, the surrounding officers immediately drew their guns and opened fire on him.

But both live ammunition and lasers were blocked by an invisible energy shield.

Xiao Yi simply ignored these attacks that couldn't even break through the first layer of psionic shield. He didn't even want to say anything more to the officer in front of him who was being misled by the Slaanesh cultists.

Without evidence, no one will believe him.

It would be better to control them first and wait for Liu Bang to come and explain the situation.

He was also very curious about Malcolm's soul.

Xiao Yi turned to look at the dozen or so officers not far away, scrutinizing them and hoping to find someone similar among them.

His action caused a slight sense of panic among the already tense officers.

After realizing their attacks were ineffective against the nearby monster, someone tried to intervene: "What are you trying to do?"

"Put down your weapons."

"No……"

Xiao Yi raised his arm and waved it downwards, causing all the officers to fall to the ground as if they had a Krogos beast on their backs.

Now they can't even raise their arms.

After bringing all the rebellious officers under control, Xiao Yi walked to the radio used for broadcasting, picked up the microphone, and addressed the two sides engaged in battle: "Malcolm has been bewitched by the devil and has betrayed the Emperor."

"He has now been dealt with by me. The chief sheriff, carrying the governor's latest orders, has arrived at the camp. Any soldiers who participated in the rebellion can be forgiven as long as they lay down their weapons."

"Otherwise, they will all be executed as traitors; betrayers will never have a good end!"

Through the broadcasts in every corner of the military camp, Xiao Yi's words were clearly heard by every soldier.

The soldiers, who were launching a frenzied attack on their former comrades on Malcolm's orders, began to doubt the correctness of their actions.

Meanwhile, the loyalists who couldn't understand why they were being attacked rallied.

It turns out that it was a group of traitors above who were issuing false orders.

The Slaanesh followers hidden in the crowd panicked upon hearing the broadcast.

If they can't capture this military camp, and instead lead the soldiers inside to launch a fierce attack on other important locations in Shangchao, the success rate of the rebellion will drop significantly.

"Since we can't turn these soldiers into allies, we absolutely cannot let them become obstacles!"

With this in mind, the Slaanesh followers in the crowd began to release a special chemical gas.

This gas amplifies people's desires, making them more aggressive.

As for the side effects?

Laughing uncontrollably until succumbing to exhaustion and dying is not considered a particularly tragic death for a Slaanesh follower.

Originally, this thing was only used on a small scale. The Slaanesh cultists hidden in the army would gather those who hesitated to obey Malcolm's orders and turn them into suicide bombs or cannon fodder.

Amidst the green smoke and eerie laughter, chaos erupted once again within the military camp.

However, all of this has nothing to do with Xiao Yi, who has put down the radio for the time being.

He reached behind him and clenched his fist, and the short officer, whose limbs were pressed against the ground, flew toward the location of his palm under the pull of gravity.

The other person's soul was almost completely soaked in purple, clearly indicating that he was a traitor who had sided with Slaanesh.

And like Malcolm, his soul and body are completely mismatched.

If you ignore the physical body and only look at the soul, she should be a woman in her thirties.

"Damn traitors, the Governor will not let you get away with this!"

Even with their throats choked, Slaanesh followers did not abandon the role they were playing.

Seeing the other party's tough attitude, Xiao Yi knew that ordinary interrogation techniques would be useless, so he decided to see for himself what had happened.

As his mastery of psychic powers has become more proficient, he can now project human memories, effectively avoiding the risk of contamination that might occur if he directly enters the soul.
