As expected of the Orks they did not last any longer once their insanity kicked in. The creatures did indeed fight like feral monsters but there was a complete lack of cohesion that would have kept them any form of advantage.
That was an odd recording to place upon the records of the Mechnicum. The idea that the Orks has some form of actual tactics besides throwing themselves at the nearest enemy. But such records were quickly being noted all across the operation as many placed them into their accounts of the actions upon the planet.
Whatever was in the deranged psyche of the Orks did not matter for their final moments. One after another the Orks were quickly crunched down under the combined weight of the Mechanicum forces.
From those of the Fortress to those on the ground itself, the two forces slowly made their way to the middle with a brutal grinding efficiency. The Ork’s had their deaths in the millions at the hands of only a couple million troops at the Sanctus Dominus’s disposal.
There were no tricks, no gimmick of the Orks that could give them the advantage. Reports of Orks freaking out about their munitions failing and even their melee weapons falling apart had made the theory realized. The Orks, who were a psychic race, were robbed of all their psychic abilities when in the shadow of the Blackstone Fortress.
The final Ork was killed when the two sides met in the center. Under their feet millions were dead on both sides. It was those who followed the Machine God though, those who planned this entire engagement, who succeeded.
Thus the first of many successes were made.
