Atop the Blackstone Fortress
"Brace for the impact; fire from all main weapons!"
Shouted the Lord Admiral of the Navis Imperialis in command of the Blackstone Fortress as they saw powerhouses of the Taesci Race incoming at their position.
Outside of the Blackstone Fortress, suddenly, the main cannon started gathering an overwhelming amount of power, ready to fire.
Of course, this didn't escape the eyes of the Taesci powerhouses, who immediately dispersed to all sides to dodge the incoming attack from the Blackstone Fortress.
Those stronger and luckier managed to escape the beam of pure destruction comparable to the strongest attack of their Tier 12 Ancestor, but several of them still get caught in it and obliterated to the dust.
While the rest, who managed to escape the onslaught of the Blackstone Fortress, didn't escape the attacks from the rest of the Voidfleet as various powerhouses of the Taesci Species were being bombarded to death by the Voidfleet of the Chthonian Empire.
Unfortunately for the Chthonians, they managed to kill only one Tier 11 expert of the Taesci species, but even that was better than nothing.
The main problem of the Blackstone Fortress was that it was pretty static, and the agility of the void craft was close to zero, but that was something understandable as it was Space Fortress, not a Space Ship.
"Give the order to advance."
Stated Sirzechs as he watched from his seat the show and how it was unfolding. Seeing that their initial attack has failed, the remaining powerhouses of the Taesci Species has retreated to the nearest Primary Grade 2 Plane, as the fight would commence there, planning to make use of the natural enviroment.
Sirzechs knew that the Taesci Ancestor wouldn't make a move on them unless they attacked the Serpent Plane, their ancestral home. Right now, as he was severely injured, he lacked the power to attack them, but it was just Sirzechs's own assumption.
In the plane before them, there were at least two Tier 11 Powerhouses of the Taesci Species and countless lower-tiered ones.
However, the number of the Tier 10 experts should be no more than 20 or so probably; as long as they hit hard and fast, they could win the battle without any unnecessary casualties.
"I will lead the vanguard, reposition the Blackstone Fortress so it can detect the Tier 12 experts if they come here and attack them instantly."
Sirzechs said, choosing to lead the attack this time.
Their little expedition had entirely three Tier 11 Powerhouses, him included, of course. At the same time, the rest of the Tier 11 experts remained at the Baator to protect their territory.
Now, there was a need to have at least one of three to remain at the Blackstone Fortress and protect it from possible infiltrators if some Tier 11 expert decided to destroy the Blackstone Fortress, and his best bet was to do it from the inside.
Among the three of them, Asura was undoubtedly the strongest one, while Sirzechs and his ancestor Zekram Bael were tied on the spot.
While Sirzechs was more diverse and boasted higher raw power, Zekram's destruction was very absolutely frightening; thus, his destructive prowess was higher than his descendant.
Sirzechs, together with Captain-General of Custodians, half of the entire Custodians, and some of the elite forces of the Imperialis Militarum descended down onto the Primary Grade 2 Plane, where their enemies were already waiting for them, and the moment they landed, they were instantly ferociously attacked.
Sirzecchs himself was attacked by two Tier 11 Snakemen of the Taesci race; both of them looked like an old man, but their power was unmistakable, but he could see that they had plenty of injuries, probably suffering them in their fights with the Void Insects of the Swarm.
He instantly used the Law of Devour to disperse their attacks, while at the same time, he was using the Law of Destruction to create artificial stars and shooting them at the Tier 11 Taesci Elders, who warily looked at the Destruction Stars, dodging them, not wanting to be incarnated to nothingness.
Not giving them any time to rest, he immediately used the Law of Darklight to constantly attack them with the various Dakrlight Weaponry, boosted up by the Law of Destruction; this style was something he copied from his father, and it was pretty useful in a certain situation, even if it didn't suit combat style too much.
While Sirzechs was entertaining the two Tier 11 Elders of the Taesci Species, the Armies of the Chthonian Empire were disembarking from their Voidships as they started engaging their enemies from the Taesci race.
Khaos Brigade, under the leadership of Vali Lucifer, led the charge as they held the line; as one of the elite forces of the Imperialis Militarum, they protected the line so the other average soldiers of the Imperialis Militarum could safely exist in the Voidships.
Vali, who reached the pinnacle of Tier 10, decimated the lines of the Taesci; with his True Longinus, he kept killing one expert of the Taesci after another and, within just ten minutes, managed to kill ten Tier 9 experts and even one Tier 10.
Currently, he was engaging another one of Tier 10 of the snakemen.
In the background, sounds of the artillery could be heard, as hundreds of the Anti-Matter Magicule Cannons were firing one round after another at the lines of the Taesci defenders while the Voidships were slowly being emptied and getting ready to join the artillery.
In the back, the faces of two Tier 11 Elders of the Taesci Species went pale when they saw Blackstone Fortress reposition itself somewhere around this Plane, which would mean that another Tier 11 would be soon departing from the invasion force to join the fight.
Both of them then realized that the fight for this plane was lost, so after contemplating about the situation for a while, both of them decided to abandon this Plane and retreat to the Serpent Plane.
