Damn it, humans are even building on stars now, what kind of terrifying Colossus is that?!
"Run!"
"If you bastards don't get on the transport now, you won't get another chance!"
The alarm sounded like it was wailing. Right behind it came the engineering captain's furious roar as he snapped the personnel frozen in fear back to their senses.
Mallen jolted out of his panic and, almost by instinct, ran with the screaming crowd toward the spaceport area.
Behind him, the Asteroid Belt Industrial Base had already become a sea of fire stretching for thousands of kilometers.
"The Savior, have the xenos invaded the Imperial homeland?"
This senior employee of Dova Agricultural Machinery Group had never imagined that a business trip to the Voss Pan-Industrial Zone would land him in such a terrifying attack.
This was one of the Empire's prosperous regions, located in a relatively central area of Segmentum Pacificus.
For even a place like this to suffer a xenos attack was truly beyond anyone's expectations, and it made people worry even more about the war situation on the Imperial front lines.
The attack had begun at the outer edge of the star system. The first to be hit was this industrial base in the asteroid belt.
It had suffered an unstoppable Devastator Class assault, and everyone had to evacuate immediately.
Although the Imperial Defense Department had issued earlier warnings, saying that certain areas might be attacked by vile xenos, when Mallen truly faced the assault, his heart was still swallowed by immense terror.
The Necrons' attack was too terrifying, far beyond any other xenos attack he had ever seen in Imperial War Footage.
But he had no time to think too much now. He only ran desperately forward with the evacuating crowd.
