It has been so long since he had traveled like this. His armor telling him of the immense wind pressure that was being pressed against his helm as he shifted the vehicle to get out of the way of a few trees. He could not help but wonder for a moment how weird those ‘trees’ were as they were twisted and turned in all sorts of manner. He recognized such arts from the rare campaigns against the Genocide King.
The place was tainted with the energies of the warp. Thus it was their job to eliminate it for the coming colony. It hit him like a wave as memories of the early Crusade went through his mind.
Like Father like Son, the two wished to conquer the galaxy. How they did it though was the question.
“Captain, we have buildings up ahead.” His Sargent said as he crossed over a hill, “Orders?”
“Scout the surrounding area and send the location to the Duke.” He declared as he read over the Sargent Coordinates, “We are approaching from the North.”
“Understood.”
As the signal between him and his battle-brother collapsed the Astartes opened another, “Squad One meet me in that location. Two and Three you are to take out any buildings that could be holding survivors.”
Without any rebuttal the two squads broke off from their spearhead as a live vid feed was given to Lorch from the Sargent’s helmet. He got an understanding of the place as he got a coms link, +Captain Lorch, we see what Sargent Torben sees and it's not much value but must be destroyed. Do you think an Armiger will do?+
+Judgment affirmed for demolition duties.+ The Astartes said back, +We still plan to link at [24, 60]?+
+Can confirm, though atmospheric readings declare that the town is barely alive. Based on this… ‘Cost-Benefit’ analysis the Tech Priests suggested that we surrounded the place before the bombardment to clear out any survivors among the rubble. That way they can save three shells of ammo.+ Though he could not hear it Lorch felt there was a mocking laugh there.
+Understood. We will clear out the village for the Armiger to demolish.+ Answered the Captain as he began to see the place at the edge of his vision.
