Arcturus gripped his Power Sword Aetheries, as his eyes quickly skimmed through the soldiers present at the place, where he was teleported by Red Queen Alice. There were fourteen enemies present, which wasn't a lot, and surprisingly or not, they were not even paying proper attention to him being there.
Which was obviously greatly playing into his cards and detrimental for his enemies, so armed with the Power Sword, he didn't waste any time as he rushed at the closest pair of soldiers that were scavenging something in the destroyed aircraft as he appeared behind one of them and stabbed him from the back.
Piercing him through and killing the enemy instantly.
Arcturus instantly swung his swords forward, slitting the throat of his companion and killing the second one from the original fourteen soldiers at the place.
Fortunately for him, he managed to dispose of them swiftly and quietly, not talking about the fact that due to the mess this place was in, it was hard to notice something happening.
Before he moved toward the next target, he noticed that all of the soldiers of the Solar Cult were armed with relatively primitive kinetic-based projectile weaponry and some basic armor, but they didn't even have proper kinetic shields.
Even if they had, the results would be the same because the Power Weapons of Aetherius's caliber could disintegrate even more advanced energy-based personal shielding that was used by most Type 3 civilizations and space-faring nations.
He then went to the others, and as they were indisposed by searching through the wrecks or saving civilians that were here during the orbital bombardment that Alice conducted on the Valley of Converging Sun, they were not really paying attention to what was happening.
Just after Arcturus killed the sixth soldier, his luck ran out as he was noticed by the trio of the incoming patrol that instantly started shooting at him. Unfortunately for them, he was armed with the armor made by Force Forger, so he used his gauntlet to protect his face from any incoming projectiles.
As unfortunate as it was, he didn't have such strong senses that he would be able to dodge incoming bullets. That was for the future, and he was sure that he would train to that point, especially if he became Psyker, then dodging bullets was child's play.
In a split moment, he was soon enough being targetted by remaining soldiers of the Solar Cult that were present, and the noise from the gunshot was attracting there even more of their compatriots.
On the other side, from what he heard from Red Queen Alice, his Battle Droids were right now in the process of destroying a large part of the Solar Cult's armed forces at the entrance to the Valley of the Converging Sun and the Solar Cult is right now sending all of their soldiers to deal with the Droids.
The Battle Droids that Arcturus deployed were manufactured by the Starlight Drive Yard Industries, which was one of the top-notch manufacturers of the Eternal Imperium of Asurya...
In fact, Arcturus would be surprised if they managed to destroy a few of the ABD-Spectre MK Battle Droids in fact. He was sure that they wouldn't be able to do anything to the Spider Bastion Battle Droids unless they had something that could blow up larger landcrafts...
Just as several of them started reloading their rifles, Arcturus made use of the opportunity as he dashed towards the nearest one, and, with a slash of his sword, one head shot to the air, and blood spluttered from his neck.
Not even seconds later, he gripped his Power Sword and aimed at the second soldier, who raised his rifle in defense.
In sheer stupidity...
No way that something as simple as an assault rifle could stop the disintegration powers of the Power Sword, as both the assault rifle and the soldiers were killed in one slash. This prompted the remaining ones to change their strategy, taking out their knives and attempting to engage him in the area where he was most experienced.
Three of them came at him with something that looked like a standardized military knife, made from not really the best materials around from what Arctursu could see, and attacked him in a relatively coordinated fashion.
Which was something that he appreciated because at least they forced him to move a bit more compared to the time when they were wasting ammunition on him.
He dodged backwards, as he kicked the one that was to his left to his stomach with his full force, sending the man crashing onto the rubbles of metal scraps.
Unknown if he would live or not, and not even his problem, as he hacked his sword up, as it was blocked by the knife of one of the soldiers, or at least the man attempted to block the Power Sword.
Unfortunately for them, it was futile, as the knife disintegrated into nothingness in a mere moment, together with the hand that was holding the knife. Simultaneously, the soldier screamed as his hand was gone, and Arcturus slashed across his chest, killing the man immediately.
He then looked at the last one that was facing him, and as he rushed at the man, holding Aetherius backward, dashing down, he stabbed the Power Sword into his stomach, disposing of the man as well.
He noticed that the remaining ones were probably not properly indoctrinated and brainwashed because some of them escaped from the place of the battle.
Only two of them remained, and the moment they saw him, they started shooting from their assault rifles, only for the bullets to be deflected by the gauntlet that he had forged by the Votann Force Forge Master.
The bullets didn't even leave proper scratches on the armor parts that were created by the Votann Force Forge Master without any problem as he approached the soldiers shooting from their assault rifles.
He only needed to attack twice, for two throats to be slit by his sword as he killed the last remaining soldiers at the place, before he could finally proceed to the headquarters of the Solar Cult.
