The hivemind is conquering for me?

Aeletha had made her way to the edge of the city. Civilians who originally stayed behind, now began to leave in small groups due to the heavy gunfire inside the city.

Aeletha did not care about these beings though, she had not even registered their existences. As the vehicle came to a halt, she got out and proceeded to sit on its roof, waiting. One of the commanders of the assault to reclaim the city, noticed her pull up and ran over to investigate.

As he made his way closer, a male Starforged as well as two small humans wearing atmospheric suits stepped out of the vehicle, causing the man to pause. "Lady Starforged, I assume you are in command of your forces? When will they be here to assist us.

As he said this, A large explosion went off in the distance, Spartari had finally been able to get some bombers into orbit. "The sooner we can take the city, the faster we can get our anti air up. Those mercenaries are currently above the cities stockpile and we cannot get to it as they are heavily dug in."

The man wanted to give the strange woman as much information as possible to help sway her to action, but she just sat there. Anger started to manifest on his face at being ignored, but that was when Rekosh stanced up.

"If you even think about looking at my Seer like that, your hole planet will cease even if spartari manage to win today." The commander gulped at the remark. He knew what his planets new allies were capable of.

"The Seer is currently not able to receive information in the space around her, but dont you worry your balding head, My legion will be arriving soon and once my Seer gives the orders, we will crush the weak humans giving you resistance."

The commander furrowed his brows at the dig on his species. He was not raised under Spartari regime and therefore did not immediately feel the need to be racist to every alien he encountered, but he could understand where they were coming from if they were all pricks like the one in front of him.

Aeletha began to giggle to herself. "He is a prick isn't he." She spoke to the air, while also causing the commanders balls to shrivel up inside of himself. The commander coughed. "Well then my allies, I will await for you to join us." He said and turned around.

"Prick... Funny human word." Aeletha began to mumble. Now she was stationary and in position, she had started feeling loopy again, but could also tell the tea was beginning to wane. "This is definitely the unguarded city, my drive would not have brought me here otherwise. As for the ruins, I have no idea and will have to check afterwards. Now all I have to do is wait for the descending hunger?

I am curious." Aeletha thought. "As am I, my Seer." "Rekosh, since when could you read minds?" She turned in confusion.

"Huh?" Rekosh spat out confused. "My seer, you have been talking aloud." "Oh have I? Whoopsie!" She said before she began to whisper. "This tea is very strong little Crèche baby, It should stop its affects just in time though." "That being said, what do you think the hunger is?" Aeletha asked her servant she raised from a cute little whelp.

Rekosh thought a moment, not his strongest suit. "Perhaps they mean the blood Spartari crave? when they descend they wish to satiate their blood desires?" Aeletha went silent once more. 'Perhaps... I will only know when I know- ooh that breeze is nice." She got distracted and flicked her hair back while she basked in the breeze, causing a very sensual scene in the wrong location.

...

I leaned over my cover and aimed my rifle, these guns were great for suppression as the beam was just gnarly. Kathrine and a good portion of the mercenaries were using them as well as we had been holding out for over and hour now.

I aimed my laser at the corner of a building for 5 seconds and the laser eventually melted through the material and cut a hole through the bastard that had just fallen out of his cover. I exposed my self for too long and ballistic rounds had begun to fire towards me. This had been our tactic for a while, me being to bullet sponge and our best shots taking out the idiots that fell for it.

My armour was extremely durable to ballistic weapons as they did nothing more than ding off it and it only helped emphasise how powerful the Deimos weapons were.

I stayed up in my position another 30 seconds, making very televised shots which distracted the enemy from my allies shots. An Alexandrite was just given a grenade launcher from one of the local gun enthusiasts who decided to aid his army. He was aiming the launcher to the armoured man aiming in the opposite direction. As he was about to pull the trigger.

*KABOOM!*

Janine had been taking out high value targets that could cause damage to Apollo only from her position on a nearby roof. Her position had yet to be exposed during the large engagement thanks to her tunnel vision.

Hearing the explosion to my right, I duck behind cover and shout "relocate!" The order was echoed by a few men as they began to give heavy suppressive fire to allow me to move undetected. As I was moving to my new position, a shout from behind me. "THURX!" Had me turning around.

Sure enough, another swarm of Thurx drones had come in for a fly by. At this point, I had been attacked by them more than 30 times and have begun to understand their pre determined flight style. In my visor, A heads up display was now visible showing exactly where to lead my minigun shots.

Taking aim, it did not take long for the pink barrage to reach the fliers and begin decimating them. In the first second, I had destroyed 30 out of the 50 in the swarm, to which they retreated back into the sky as they no longer had enough for an effective strafe.

After the Thurx, I wasted no time getting back into my new position before I once again exposed my location and began firing once more.

The battle this way continued for another 2 hours. losses were beginning to pile up on our side, while where the enemy was constantly getting its reinforcements from the corpses from the fallen had begun to be used as makeshift barricades for the defenders there were so many.

Despite the constant stream of reinforcements, the amount of dead in such a enclosed area had slowed down their assault vastly due to the sheer terror of possibly being added to the piles. The CO's were obviously very unhappy with this and were ordering their men to push forward anyway.

The passage of time however, only brought benefit to the planetary guard as Janine yelled through the communication channel. "A column of heavy vehicles are making there way here. ETA 4 minutes."

'Shit'. I thought, My armour has been holding up well, but I cannot take a tank shell to the face and not suffer consequences. There was nothing we could currently do except rely on our anti armour weapons when they come into range.

As the tank rounded the corner, I noticed it did not have a turret and instead had a set of twin heavy guns mounted on top. As it turned to face the mercenaries, I was about to dive for cover when the tank was suddenly crushed by a piece of falling metal. I had no time to think about it and continued to fire on the forces.

However, another piece of metal dropped, then another, and another in the distance. Thats when I realised that the metal on that crushed the tank had began to slowly open up. I heard what was inside the metal before I got a chance to see it as huge booms of an autocannon started shooting at the other armoured vehicles behind the crushed one.

Behind it, two more metal cocoons began to open and what emerged were two and a half meters tall armoured suits, with different weapons. One had an Autocannon and a minigun attached at the arms, and the other just had two large miniguns.

From behind me I heard Dolan yell. "HAHAHA! Its the knights! These shitheads are fucked!" I shared the sentiment as the heavy armoured and weaponed trio would help immensely in alleviating pressure.

It did not take long to re secure our location, but the enemy still had not stopped. The standstill lasted another 30 minutes until, from the chokepoint least used by the planet guards A war cry was shouted through a loud speaker. "A thousand Victories!"

Spartari phalanx had begun to run down the street and assault the now battle weary planetary guard. The Phalanx were absolutely insane as they charged straight on while firing their laser weapons. The death of the Phalanx in front of them seemed not to faze them as they continued their charge until they began to clash with the Alexandrite's in melee.

It did not take long for the guards to make a tactical retreat having lost so many troops to the reinforcements.
