Thud, thud, thud—
Several Giant Raven Guard clad in Vibranium Power Armor raced back and forth along the defensive positions of the hive city.
Enemy laser beams and Heavy Bolter Rounds occasionally struck their vibranium shells, only to be completely deflected by the indestructible metal.

The unexpected appearances of Skrull aliens also prompted them to mobilize the psykers they had secretly cultivated, conducting screening operations against numerous key family members.
If these families discovered any signs of Skrull aliens or Genestealers within their ranks beforehand,
they would immediately eliminate the hidden threat, lest they leave the Honored Primarch with leverage enough to destroy an entire Hive Family.

The Vibranium Power Sword clenched in his hand swept through the fragile bodies
