It was hours of combat and battle, so long did the battle occur that many of the Rangers had run out of their Master Crafted Galvanic munitions. Same with the Astartes as they found their Bolters and Flamers coming dry. However the Proelitor’s love for energy munitions proved well along with the numerous vehicles loaded with munitions just for their cause continued to roll or walk with the assault.
Perturabo was down to forty Iron Warriors out of a hundred he came down with. Now many of the Astartes belonging to the Proelitor had thrown themselves at the frontlines to take the place of their fallen cousins. Such need for them in the rear after all was minimal thanks to the speed they were all now running at.
Never would one have thought that the attacks would have calmed, but it seemed that the Necrons were not limitless. Such should be expected as the tomb they were attacking was never fully awakened. Indeed many of the Necrons they were fighting now were damaged or still recovering from the previous fights they were experienced with. The crypt’s resurrection systems are now overwhelmed by the sheer amount of murder that was happening to them.
As for the Skitarii, many had died simply by the exhaustion of their bodies. The most mortal out of all the forces present they found themselves at their weakest point. Quite a few however found room within the transports that were present, many using the Land’s Raiders meant for Iron Warriors as impromptu containers for their own forces. As many of them could not fight anymore, one transport quickly became filled with a hundred Skitarii stacking themselves on top of one another.
It was then that TalOS noticed the attempts to teleport the Necrons cease. The Necrons at the front quickly found themselves no longer dissipating to their recovery chambers. Such a fact would have been catastrophic if the forces present were not simply taking shots at the advance from the top. Such attacks killed a few Skitarii, but the hardened arrow of Iron Warriors pierced the final doorway to the largest chamber that could have been seen.
There, sitting upon a throne with Lychguard at his side, was the Overlord Kenothar. Within one hand was a Void Scythe, a weapon designed by the Machine God himself inspired by the Nightbringer’s own weapon, and the other was a Resurrection Orb which would help bring back to life those that had fallen.
He stood at the rear of an army, the remaining forces of Necrons he could gather before the teleportation system were stolen from him by Calibre’s attacks.
TalOS could taste the sheer anger the Necron felt. It tasted rather sweet coming from the Xenos.
