As the Ork fleet was dragged along by gravity,
the Heavy Assault Cruiser began accelerating along the outer edge of the gravity channel.
A dense barrage of Railgun fire rained into the gravity channel.
Their objective was to destroy every ship weapon still intact, preventing any accidents when they recovered the metal later.
The Orks still alive aboard were of no importance.
As long as the shipboard weapons were destroyed and could no longer damage the gravitational refining apparatus, those Orks would soon be crushed into pulp.
After firing all the way to low orbit, the Assault Cruiser immediately subjected the remaining Orks on the surface to an Orbital Bombardment.
The precision strikes reduced nearly a tenth of the surface to scorched earth almost instantly.
Vast numbers of Orks who had landed on the surface were vaporized in an instant.
However, every strike avoided the Necron Tomb the Orks had blasted open.
This led many Orks to believe they had found a way to survive.
Iax, meanwhile, was simply notifying the Adeptus Mechanicus to come collect their haul.
Since the war with the Necrons began, the Men of Iron had rarely fought battles like this, suffering almost no losses while actually gaining something.
Yet the mass of Orks pouring back into the Necron Tomb unexpectedly trapped the Custodian Trazyn had released, along with the four Sons of War, deep inside.
Their ammunition was exhausted, and the Chainswords in the Sons of War's hands had run out of power during the fighting.
Even their adamantium-laced teeth had been worn almost completely away.
Most of these Orks wore incredibly tough Dead Iron armor made from Necron living metal.
Only the Sentinel Spear in the Custodian's hands could still kill their enemies with ease.
But the Halberd had little energy left in reserve.
