Chapter16:

Conquer All

Seven ships rushed towards the surface of the planet,taking their chances.Ensis was on his ship which was now full of his soldiers,just like the other six.The ships were practically defensless,their only mission was to bring soldiers to the surface.The plan was to keep the tamaranian forces buisy while White Serpents build a temporary base and install cannons.The moment the ships landed all Hyperboreans rushed outside and secured the position.Ensis was watching them with certain pride.The soldiers were of Imperial Guard and Mothers Children.It was crucial to win the first fight.A few guardsmen continously scanned the surroundings for any sign of the enemy.And the enemy will come.

Imperial Guard had suits similar to those of nobles,only with less options.Warrior squads had more ''primitive'' technology.Their suits resembled an armor and only had the technology that a common foot soldier needs.Mothers Children had the exactly same suits like the Warriors,only the color was different.Warriors were red,and Children were black.The suits could change their colors for camouflage but due to the Tamarans characteristics it was impossible to hide.Light sabers were only used by the nobles and the Guard.Light sabers are a luxury.The crystals needed for their construction are rare and soldiers used a longer type of knife that resembles a sword.Those knifes saved many hyperborean lives.They were made from special metal,and they were the best cold weapon in the Universe.Imperial Guard was armed with laser rifles while other units used a wide range of weaponry,depending on personal affection or more common,order.

'The enemy is approaching!' One of the guardsmen shouted.The army of the nearby city was flying towards them.

'Take your position men!May Mother guide us!' Ensis roared and all the units knew what to do.

Imperial Guard ignited their shields and formed a large,unstable circle around Ensis.The Children formed a arch around them.The Tamaran army attacked with full fury and within seconds blood began to flow.Hyperboreans were highly outnumbered but their weapons and warlust compensated their weakness.Ensis slayed one after another,and decided that it is time.With a roar he unleashed his demon power.He flew into a blizzard of tamaranian soldiers and exploded with power.His purpe aura devoured the nearby soldiers,crushing them into a bloody mess of flesh and bones.He fired rays that passed through their rows.His soldiers couldn't belive what they saw but with a battlecry 'For the Emperor!' they charged at the enemy.Plasma throwers schorched anyone who came too close to the surface and guns and lasers fired endless shots that killed or mutilated.While gaining the upper hand in battle many soldiers started to blutdurst and now they laughed and laughed while killing.After half an hour Tamaranians retreated to ''safety''.Hyperboreans didn't pursuit them.There is time.They feasted on the hearts of their enemys and watched their Emperor with admiration.One of the guardsmen approched him and knelt down.

'My Emperor!We lost fifty men,one hundred are wounded-twenty of them are in life danger.The Serpents are ready for your commands!' He didn't even dare to look up.Ensis still glowed in purple.

'Excellent!Contact Kitsar and tell him to send the main part of the army down here.' Ensis calmly ordered and sent the soldier away.He enjoyed every second of this battle…and more battles are yet to come!

Starfire summoned the Council.The Council was a group of Tamarans finest aristocrats that ruled when she was away.Starfire was rather unskilled in the art of leading a empire or anything alike.A common rumor among Tamarans people was that even if Starfire would return home for good she wouldn't be able to rule:the Council would.Raven watched a bunch of old people trick Starfire into giving them practically unlimited power.She didn't even try to stop them.This wasn't her battle.Or Beast Boys or Cyborgs.Cyborg connected to the computer in the palaces library,just to download some information about these Hyperboreans.They couldn't belive what he found out.After losing a battle after a battle,the Hyperborean Empire was reduced to it's homeworld.The Tamaran Empire won the war and there was no threat that Hyperboreans could fight for a long time.Their once gigantic army was crushed.Instead of just colonising the planet or forcing them to capitulate,Tamaranians destroyed the whole planet along with its residents.Over 50 billion people were killed in the process.Mostly civilians,old people,children.After browsing through the library a bit more,they found more interesting info.It seemed that Hyperboreans never killed those who couldn't fight them.They never pulverized a planet,but they could.Their religion strictly prohibited rape or use of any force against a female,unless she was warrior.On the other hand,Tamaranians usually killed all Hyperboreans and didn't show any mercy towards them.Raven talked with Starfire about the destruction of Hyperborea.The girl didn't think of it bad,and she supported the genocide actions that were done on other worlds afterwards.Raven couldn't understand how can Starfire,usually a tolerant and warm person breed such hate.Raven remembered her world,Azerath…and the way it was destroyed.She reached a decision.The boys tried to convince Robin,who was now concious,to go back to Earth with them.He refused.Beast Boy and Cyborg simply wanted to go home,knowing that they have no business here.Starfire was a friend and all,but the whole thing just made them sick.

Blackfire was giving a speech in the newly conquered city.She was quite a demagog.The way she talked simply convinced the people that she was telling the truth.She talked about the downfall of Tamaran,due to the Council,she talked about her sister and her bad qualities as a leader…and the people listened.An hour later her army gained 5000 new members.She had full control of her army and she,like Ensis,always personally lead the attack.Unlike her ally,Blackfire lead the war much like her ancestors.Less machinery,more soldiers.On the other side of the planet Ensis finally saw what he wanted to see for a long,long time.The landing place was now full of Warrior squads and various machines.Hyperboreans had two basic kinds of tanks:a standard one,armed with lasers and speed and the one that the Guard used.The second was armed with a powerfull shell cannon and two heavy machine guns on the sides.Both were neat little toys of destruction.The walking siege vehicles,called ''Gradior'' were one man operated and were about four meters tall.Gradiors were stocky and they looked slow,but they weren't.They were armed with a powerful machine gun(some versions with a laser) and a ''hand'' that was combined with a plasma thrower.Tamaranian gradiors were taller,thinner and always armed with lasers.Their tanks used anti-gravity propulsion and stealth technology.Ensis couldn't stop walking around and reassuring himself that everything is ok.He felt a bit drained after his first use of power.Blackfire called him personally to tell him the good news.Damn.She conquered a city before him!

His plan was to take control of the nearby city(he didn't knowits name) and establish a real base,with factorys.He knew Tamaranians won't attack him with full power in their own city.Suddenly his communicator bleeped.

'Lord?'

'Talk Kitsar.' Ensis said absently

'We are reading massive energy discarges from City1,they are probably warming up their machinery.' Kitsar said while looking at some monitors.The fights around Tamaran were going on and on…

'I know.But thanks.Over and out.' Ensis broke the connection and ordered the Serpents to start shelling the city.50 km of distance meant unprecision,but thats what Ensis wanted.Chaos.He ordered a full scale attack.The army started to move towards the city.

A hour later,practically at the gates of the city the real carnage began.Gradiors had a great psychological effect on the enemy,and the tanks engaged in a desperate battle against cannons that were placed at the city's walls.Ensis constantly encouraged his soldiers to attack,knowing that they have only one chance of winning.The battle lasted for a full hour untill three tanks managed to destroy a part of the wall.A tide of soldiers rushed into the city and started to shoot anything that resisted them.White Serpents turned the cannons at the walls towards the city and started to destroy the enemys machinery.When Ensis and his men took the palace of the ruling family(and them as well) all resisting forces simply started to give up.With the city conquered the gates of Tamaran truly opened.

Not impressed,right?Review anyway.
