When the Shields went down the barrage of three Titans finally reached into the city. TalOS held little mercy as his Plasma Annihilator went through the air and severed one of the Xeno-Titans in half with a single shot. The other did not last long enough as it began to crumble under the brutal attacks of House Navaros.
After the Titans were killed it became nothing but a massacre.
The rest of the Acillians and Skitarii who were awaiting their opportunity began to charge the now defenseless walls. The Xenos would probably have tried something but the walls were all but crushed under the weight of Knights of Dutonis and the Titans of Lucius.
TalOS linked himself with the heads of his army as they began to dominate, +We are to do a resource extraction. The Xenos have valuable materials that can become useful to the Mechanicum. As for their people, capture any humanoid so that we may transform them into Servitors and any of their Psykers for experimentation. We will not remain ignorant of our foe any longer.+
+Father.+ The voice of Mitarii AL4N came on the communicae, +Should we prioritize the capture of the Xenos Governor?+
The Primarch gave a solemn nod that could not be seen to this, +Do so.+
With those commands the forces began to move under the supervision of their Tech Priest Masters. TalOS, with the bombardment finished, began to look through the eyes of numerous Skitarii who were at the battlefield.
While before it was a wholesale slaughter without respite the Skitarii began to bash xenos over the heads and go for more disabling shots. Many of them, about a minute after TalOS’s command, began broadcasting the Xenos language for all to hear.
“We are the Mechanicum of Lucius. Upon order of the Arch Dominus we are to detain you. Surrender to the Mechanicum or suffer the wrath of the Machine God.”
Those words surely had many of the Xenos scared beyond belief. To hear the words of their native tongue butchered by those who moments ago spoke nothing but death.
Many relented, and many more died in fear. TalOS cared not for they were the enemies of humanity.
