Blood on the Line, Pt 4
The attacking Imperial fleet leveled themselves off a few kilometers above the megacity, turned their broadsides towards the streets, then circled the entire thing like they were vultures. Though their bow chitin had been shattered to pieces, almost down to their exoframes, the majority of the damage was merely superficial.
And to the Drogar, it was necessary. If they didn’t suffer it, they would never have been able to move into position above the megacity itself.
Chitin armor panels along their exposed broadside opened up and revealed the stinger-like broadside cannons to the city. Each one charged up with dark orange energy, then shot energy-encased slugs down to the Felrahn military facilities.
They punched through the titanium carbide plating with absurd ease, and tore their way deep into the gun mechanisms. Some ripped through the turret mechanisms on one of the guns, and utterly annihilated the gears that moved the entire thing.
