"Everything is for the God Emperor." Thoughts of Horus Lupercal, Primarch of the Luna Wolves Legion, during the slaughter of the Free City of Lys.
-----------
Corpses and blood.
That was the summary of Braavos at this moment. Sanguinius and Vulkan had no mercy or pity for these people. To kill the evil gods, they became indifferent and massacred every faithful follower that could be found.
Blood accumulated on the ground, and corpses could be seen everywhere. Even those faithful Red Faith believers shuddered at such an insane massacre. As for the fanatics, they only celebrated and said that more heretics should be killed. These people were the true monsters.
To prevent these cultists from hiding, they promised gold and food as rewards. At the same time, the Emperor's Laws, Article 66, the religious unification clause, was promulgated and spread throughout the city at the request of the Primarch of the Salamanders Legion, Vulkan.
All gods were considered heretical and evil; any association with gods other than the God Emperor of Humanity was punishable by death! Of course, if you turned in the person who was trying to convert you, the death penalty would be annulled, and you would even earn a lot of money and food.
Honestly, even Sanguinius looked at Vulkan with admiration. With such methods, it can be said that the believers of these evil gods would be hunted, denounced, and killed throughout the continent.
Vulkan's methods simply touched on the fundamental of every human being: greed, power, and wealth. Brothers would kill each other, father would kill son, even mother and child would kill each other for profit, much less at this moment when the Long Night was still at its peak.
In the Sea Lord's Palace, Sanguinius entered the office that once belonged to Ferrego and spoke directly about his purpose. "Brother, a gigantic horde of monsters is coming towards Braavos."
Vulkan did not stop writing his report as he replied in a calm tone. "That's normal; we are destroying the foundations of the gods; how can they stand idly by?"
Honestly, if there were no Aenar, there would not even be a chance for humanity to survive. But Aenar's existence gave humans relief; humanity no longer needed to fear the gods; humanity itself had the power to rebel against the gods!
Sanguinius nodded; he was not nervous either. Monsters could be fatal to humans, but he was not human, nor was he as weak as a common human. He could kill monsters as one kills chickens.
"Braavos's geography will help in the fight; these monsters will have to cross the lakes to reach the islands that make up the Free City of Braavos." Vulkan said, finally finishing writing the report for the queens.
Showing a smile, Sanguinius nodded. Perhaps because he was too young, he liked the thrill of battle. In the future, he presumed he would be like Vulkan, Sigismund, and Titus, who were more mature and serious.
However, while he was young, he had to make the most of his youth!
Vulkan looked at Sanguinius and smiled; he was not surprised to see the emotion on his battle brother's face. He was once young and knew how tempting the thrill of battles was; being revered as a great warrior was every boy's and teenager's dream.

Free City of Lys.
If Braavos could be called a sea of blood, Lys became a true hell on earth. Fulgrim, who had a great resentment against the city, showed no mercy to the believers of the Goddess of Love of Lys and other deities.
Fulgrim coldly ordered his Legion to invade the brothels and take out the women who owned these brothels. He ordered their death without even asking their faith or giving these women a chance. He simply ordered their death with a cold and relentless look.
The heads of the beautiful women were cut off amidst screams of terror. Fear and panic spread through the beautiful city in an instant.
Fulgrim's mother was a prostitute who was sold as a pleasure slave to many brothels. He didn't even know who his father was; the most tragic thing was that these women sold him as a slave after his mother died of dystocia while giving birth to his brother, who died soon after.
Therefore, Fulgrim deeply hated this beautiful city. If it weren't for the Emperor's orders, he wanted to burn and reduce this city of sin to ashes. Not only that, he wanted to kill all the people in this city.
As for whether there were innocent people in the city, such as children and women, he didn't care. He was sold as a slave as a child, and no one helped him or even tried to stop it. In his eyes, there was no pity for this corrupt, dirty, and lustful city.
However, although he could not kill all the people, he could kill many people. That's what he did; he ordered the death of tens of thousands with a cold and murderous tone. May all burn and have a better life in the arms of the Emperor of Humanity!
Horus watched everything with a cold and calm gaze. As Fulgrim's friend, he knew more than anyone the hatred in his friend's heart. Although he didn't like his extreme methods, he still remained silent out of respect for his friend's hatred.
Remembering that he also grew up as a slave since he could remember, Horus's eyes showed a complex look, but he soon calmed down and showed a resolute look. He hated slavery more than anything and hated Slaver's Bay even more.
"When I finish cleaning the free cities, I will burn the Pyramids of Meereen." Horus murmured with a calm look. He would not let his hatred interfere with his reasoning as Fulgrim was doing at that moment.
Horus remembered the Emperor's words when he first saw him.
"You are demigods of my Golden Lineage; you are True Humans who must completely control your emotions." The voice of that sacred and holy being still seemed vivid in his mind, preventing him from forgetting his words.
Looking at Fulgrim's state, Horus seemed to finally understand the Emperor's words. In his eyes, Fulgrim was like a raging animal venting his anger without any scruple or duty.
However, for Fulgrim to grow and become a True Human, Horus let him vent the accumulated anger in his heart. After all, setbacks in life were the best teacher a person could have.
Making mistakes could hurt, but you learned from the mistake and became more mature. Horus, who was forced to mature early, perfectly understood this truth.
Approaching Fulgrim, Horus placed his hand on his shoulder and stared at him with a silent gaze. There was no reprimand or any other feeling of judgment, just a calm and serene feeling.
Looking into that gaze, Fulgrim seemed to see his reflection. A young man with a crazy smile and a sadistic look on his face. This deeply shook Fulgrim, who always strived to be perfect like the Emperor. He couldn't believe he had transformed into that being.
Closing his eyes, Fulgrim seemed to review his childhood, his mother's death, him being sold as a slave. The hatred and resentment were still bubbling in his mind, but he remembered the Emperor sitting on the Ruby Throne.
He recognized the look the Emperor was giving him; it was the same look a father gave to a son, encouraging him to be the best version of himself. How did he know this? It was the best look the slave trader gave to his son.
Opening his eyes, Fulgrim looked at the massacre before him with a calm expression, no longer murderous or sadistic as before. Turning his gaze back to Horus, all feelings transformed into just one word.
"Thank you."
Horus showed a rare smile and looked at Fulgrim with a satisfied look. Seeing Fulgrim recognize his own internal ugliness was a very good thing.
"Let's finish purging the city of these heretics." Horus said in a calm tone. Lys could be a beautiful and paradisiacal city, but it was a nest of rats with schemes of lies, poison, and deaths. Many famous poisons came from this city.
Fulgrim nodded and followed his older brother with a calm expression. Looking at Horus's back, he truly felt grateful. He never wished to show that horrendous expression again. Just thinking that his brothers and even the Emperor could see him in that state, Fulgrim's gratitude for Horus grew even greater.
