"They're here."
Fulgrim felt the impact of the lead bullet that her power gauntlet had intercepted.
The workmanship was crude, but the impact was still astonishing.
But it still could not penetrate her armor.
Finally, this bunch of assassins couldn't hold back anymore.
Fulgrim crushed the lead bullet in her hand.
Or rather, this was the real purpose of Fulgrim's trip.
To lure the snake out of its hole.
After Kasjia's disappearance, the other party's next move could only be aimed at her.
"Assassins."
"Abdemon, protect the Vizier, evacuate the civilians; the rest of you, with me."
As she spoke, Fulgrim handed the trembling little girl to the Vizier Corinthus and quickly rushed towards the direction of the bullet.
The crowd had dispersed like water after the gunshot.
Compared to a disorderly and chaotic stampede, it was more like an accustomed evacuation.
There were even very few who screamed in alarm.
Living in the capital of Byzas, this level of assassination seemed to be a common occurrence for the residents.
They had seen it many times.
The second floor of the third brick house at the corner of the street.
After a quick calculation in her brain, Fulgrim had almost instantly locked onto the actual position of the shooter.
"That house over there, quick!"
Telmar, who was closest, was the first to charge in, and the moment he shattered the wooden door with his solid body, the explosive charge behind the door made a muffled sound.
The wood chips and stones from the explosion scattered in all directions, kicking up a thick cloud of dust.
"Cough, cough, damn it."
Although apart from scratching the paint, this level of explosion could not damage his ceramite armor.
But this blow also forced him to close his eyes and retreat, to minimize the impact as much as possible.
BOOM!
Just as he had adjusted his posture and was about to charge in again, as if it had been set up, after the first explosion, a series of chain explosions filled the entire brick room.
BOOM! BOOM!
The flames of the explosion instantly broke through the doors and windows of the brick house, turning into a raging tongue of fire.
The surrounding glass shattered under the impact, and the brick house that had been standing there was now gone, leaving only a part of the ruined wall with its crumbling brickwork still struggling to stand.
An explosion. A very clever move.
It could block their pursuit, and even if the plan failed, it could burn all the evidence and clues to a crisp.
But for the perfect Emperor's Children, it was just another desperate struggle.
"They're right ahead!"
"See? This door is connected."
At the finger of the Emperor's Children, Thorn, beside him, there was a door connecting the ruins and the neighboring brick house.
Those guys had very likely used this door to move to other places.
"Go!"
After a not-so-long period of reflection, the impatient Telmar did not change his reckless strategy.
But this time he would be more careful when breaking down the wooden door. Perhaps that was the only difference.
CRACK!
After shattering the thin wooden door with his huge, power-armored body, the expected explosion did not come.
He hesitated for a moment, lowered the left hand that was protecting his head, and looked around.
The room was dark, and the lighting was not good.
As a brick house connected to the assassins' stronghold, the interior decoration here seemed to be just an ordinary residence, with no—
Click.
Above!
When Telmar anxiously looked up, he saw a pair of black shotgun barrels aimed at his helmet.
CRASH!
Suddenly, a crisp sound of shattering glass, accompanied by the light of a fire-blade, shone into the dark brick house.
Just as the other was about to pull the trigger, Fulgrim had acted.
She leaped in from the top floor window of the brick house and, with a speed that even Telmar's eyes could not follow, snatched the shotgun from the man's hands.
Her other hand was on his neck.
The huge body of a Primarch was not suitable for fighting in such a narrow terrain.
She chose to wait for the right moment and break in from the window.
And just as Fulgrim rushed into the room and captured the assassin, the guys who had been lurking at the side for a long time took out their grenade launchers.
If normal bullets were harmless to the Primarch, then what about grenades?
BOOM!
With a few explosions that echoed through the street, all that was left of the captive in Fulgrim's hand was a tragic scream and countless fragments of blood and tissue, covered in dust.
Damn it.
To prevent her from capturing a live one, this bunch of guys are really ruthless.
Shaking off the brick dust that had fallen on her, the somewhat disheveled Fulgrim shook her waterfall-like silver-white long hair.
But even a powerful grenade, apart from making her a little disheveled, still could not cause any damage.
The power of a Primarch was far beyond the imagination of mortals.
"It's over."
She took out the Firebrand bolt pistol at her waist with some annoyance and opened fire on the position of the attackers from before.
The wall was instantly cut open by the bolt beam with a neat, molten cross-section.
After losing its support, the roof, which had been on the verge of collapsing from the explosion, instantly caved in, burying the assassins who were trying to escape under the ruins.
Except for one of them, who had run out the moment he had pressed the grenade launcher.
He was caught red-handed by Narvo Quinn, who had been waiting outside the brick house as arranged by Fulgrim.
"Now, tell me—"
Fulgrim's tone was countless times colder than before.
"Who sent you?"
"And..."
"Where is my Kasjia now?!"
The fire-blade in her hand was now searing the other's flesh, making a small crackling sound.
"Hahahahahahaha!"
"You want to know his whereabouts?"
However, what answered her was a burst of crazed laughter.
"Forget it! He has... has become one of us!"
"Saba... Sabazius!"
"Sabazius lives!!!"
Smack.
In an instant, the annoyed Fulgrim quickly acted and knocked him out.
She had no time to listen to the ravings of these madmen.
"Take him to Melusine."
"The Chief Apothecary knows how to deal with them and make them talk."
Fulgrim said coldly.
It seemed she was not in a good mood at the moment.
Narvo Quinn nodded, and mourned for the assassin in his heart.
Only the legionaries of the Emperor's Children knew what a tragic situation it would be to be handed over to the Chief Apothecary, this science madman.
The street was still on fire.
"How's the situation on your side?" Fulgrim asked in a low voice, looking at Abdemon and the Vizier Corinthus who were approaching from a distance.
"This... Lady Fulgrim, I received this."
The Vizier Corinthus nervously handed her a piece of parchment.
It seemed that during the chaos just now, someone had handed it to the trembling Vizier, who was under Abdemon's cover.
"I can't read this."
The writing on it was not the common local language of Byzas, but was written in High Gothic.
[Six days from now, at the place where Sabazius first set foot on Byzas.]
"A riddler."
Fulgrim felt a headache coming on.
Sabazius.
That name again.
Ever since coming to Byzas, it had been clinging to them like a shadow.
And now, not only did she have no clues about Kasjia, but she also had to deal with the attacks of a riddler.
"I hate riddles," Fulgrim said.
