Perturabo looked at the massive gunline which was facing the enemy. Another horde was coming forward towards his fortress of solitude for the fifty eighth time and for the fifty eighth time they shall be repelled.
The Horde, he scouted, was roughly five hundred thirty three entities large. At a ratio of two to three were the main combat forms and the range scout forms who would attack his walls at a range. They were going up against thirty turrets each loaded with Mk. 2 Uranium Enriched rounds that would deal fifteen damage per shot.
The creatures quickly began rushing the frontline in the massive horde just as the Orks do on so many different fronts. Perturabo gave a laugh as a quarter of their forces were cut down to a man by the defenses that he had prepared.
As these melee based creatures were being killed Perturabo had designed the area roughly ten squares away from the walls as targets for the artillery. These positions, before Perturabo even saw them, were where the ranged spitter forms would congregate themselves. They were annihilated with just five shells.
A personal record, Perturabo noted. He had a full understanding of these Xenos and now they were but pest for eradication. Said eradication was already underway as the Artillery that he activated earlier moved to target the nests that these foul xenos had come from.
As this happened Perturabo looked over to see a train rush right by him. With a click of his finger he saw that the vessel was carrying the Uranium fuel that empowered his turrets. He looked over to see the mining rigs continue their work in extracting the resources from this location, which would then be refined into the powergrid that would then allow him to transfer his turrets to laser based ones.
Really he wished he could have used Plasma based turrets but the grid was not able to withstand that. The power grid was always matching the brim when it came to power as every time Perturabo excess power it was devoted to a laser turret. Kinetic based systems however did not have power, and as such were perfect for sudden bursts of expansion to claim new resources.
“Uranium is in.” Perturabo looked away from the screen towards the woman who had been sitting next to him for… how long?
“Make sure it does not overwhelm out refinery. If we need to store it off the belts we can do that.” TalOS said as he too spoke, “Perty, you want to continue your expansion or you finally coming back?”
Perturabo grew a smile as he tapped into the train system to override one of the trains, “I will be arriving in three minutes.”
