With the appearance of Legio Mortis the Knight known as Leandros knew that their defense was now coming down to the final hours. He, a native of Dutonis, had gotten together with a number of other Knight Houses who lived upon Mars for where they shall stage a defense at. It was thanks to him and his local contingent of Lucian Priests that they were able to even mount such a defense like this one at Mount Olympus, for Noospheric communication was in some way still active.
Somewhat being the working term as they were all dealing with what was called Scrapcode. It continued to assault their Machine Spirits at every chance it could have and many were infected with the virus simply because they were using non-Noospheric communication. It was like an airborne contagion that the enemy had released upon the planet which meant any communication that was not fully secure would fall victim to it.
So the only things that were fully secure was the Manifold of the Knights, second to the Noosphere that Lucius employed. One would wonder if vocal messages were viable but sadly when the enemy neared such communication did more harm than good. Many of them had gotten into the habit of singing the logic of scrap code at the top of their lungs in hopes that a Priest or Skitarii would take in such dialogue and become twisted by such measures.
The enemy, singing their blasphemous songs, reached the lines with a fury of their false gods ignorance. Lance in hand the Knight watched the forces below finally broke through the line of Proelitor and flow its way towards the lines of Skitarii. He understood that the Acillians and Astartes were not dead, but it was this final push by the enemy which brought enough numbers that the Proelitor could not hold them back.
It might be, if terror was allowed to corrupt Leandros, that there were other Proelitor among the forces present. That forced by their superiors they were turned via scrapcode.
What mattered for him now was the assault and Leandros was quickly following the example of his peers. With lance in hand he brought his Knight forward in a charge along with three of his fellows. It was agreed from the Mitarii of the Proelitor that such an action was to be done when they were overwhelmed, and that no care was to be given to whether or not they were trampled. Only that the assault was pushed back.
Leandros looked upon the world killing Titan which stood behind the horde and wondered if they could push it back. It was decided that he will try.
Raising his land above his head he got the attention of all his fellow Knights who were present. They all formed around him in the Lance that was used to conqure entire planets before.
And with a cry they charge, <span class="mu-s">+DEUS MECHANICUS!+</span>
