Estimates were correct in that the only creatures present were either the Gretchen of Snotling variants of Orkoids. Said creatures rampaged through the lands with carnage in their step as out of the numerous cracks in the valley they came crawling out.
+Oh Machine God, guide our aim to wipe out the enemies of metal before us.+
[b:lit]+GUIDE OUR AIM. GUIDE OUR AIM.+[/b:lit]
+Blessed be the reticle and hud, FIRE!+
Finishing a verse belonging to the Benediction of the Machine God the Acillians opened up onto the killing floor with a fury of Volkite fire that shredded the flesh of the Gretchen before them. The amount of firepower in a preserved position was something that TalOS could not look down upon as the slaughter began.
There was no triumphant call to action or prayer when the Astartes belonging to the second legion began their shooting. They first began to fire with what TalOS understood to be the Mars Pattern Bolters they talked about that also did short work of the numerous monsters that were before them.
Both sides however were slowly losing ground. For the Acillians though they simply kept firing upon the greenskin as they cleared their lanes of fire and perfectly mounted their fire. The Astarte Flamertroopers instead began leaving their reinforcements to reach the effective firing range of their dreadful guns against the Xenos horde before them.
Once they reached the location the place was covered in a thin layer of fire.
Such things only proved to TalOS that they were aggressive in their combat style. Actually before the flamers came into play the Acillians were showing that the standard Volkite performed many times better against the low-end orkoid instead of the Bolters that the Astartes carried.
TalOS affirmed that it was not the strength and firerate of the weapon, which TalOS marked as superior, but that the Machine Spirits within the weapons closely and accurately picked their targets with maximum effect.
Just witnessing a melee strike performed by a rogue Astartes showed TalOS that they could outperform the Acillians in melee. It was proof that the aggression within the Astartes was meant for a purpose.
The only thing that TalOS could not test right now was their toughness, but after a quick glance within the Astartes TalOS found their making wanting. The Organs they had were but meek existences compared to the arcane technology that was the Autosanguine blood within the Acillians.
