His orders are relayed to the various parties, as the eternal warriors prepare to deploy. Secure in the dropship, Vladimir and the sixth chapter begin their perilous journey downwards.
After the flames of atmospheric entry dissipate, Vladimir begins to see the ground below through the viewscreen of the dropship. In a ruined small town nestled between two mountain ranges, a trenchline zigzags across the blasted and burnt terrain, looking from the air like a wound. Manning the trenches are a ragged force of Imperial army soldiers in blue armour, their flags displaying the symbol of some regiment Vladimir hasn't heard of.
Assaulting the trenches are a horde. First come the the possessed, captured humans turned into cannon fodder by more powerful demons.
They're shambling and weak, but dangerous in numbers. They're much like the undead
zombay that Vladimir has faced in other battles, but unlike the undead, these humans are fully conscious of their surroundings, constantly trying and failing to regain control of their bodies. Behind the possessed are cultists, willing servants of demons, who are armed and armoured not unlike the Imperial Army soldiers.
On the other side of the demon horde is a gate, glowing with infernal energy, from which the enemy are pouring.
There, lesser demons, animal like creatures, are emerging, alongside a demon lord, a field commander.
