"Already ahead of you Alonzo.," Blitzcrank says.
As if on queue, a series of blasts are heard from the SPSRL ranks as artillery units fire off there payloads. The shells arc through the sky and bombard the advancing reinforcements, sending men flying in the resulting explosions. However, most are protected by telekinetic barriers created by humans with powers in their ranks.
"Great. So many with the same power? Looks like Arcadis has started cultivating specific powers through family lines.," Technik comments.

"I could have told you that. It's why I was born." Michael says. "My mother was Arcadisian and my father a traitor."

"Lady Marielle, I need you. They have people creating barriers, I need to know who to target." Galahad says
Marielle nods "I'll be right there." she make susre Ophiuchus is secure, and then goes to help Galahad. she was using a panel to manually lock on to specific Arcadisian soldiers.

"SPSRL! Form up!," Technik orders the army. Troops line up at the side the Arcadisian reinforcements are coming from. "Fire when they get within range on my mark! They have barrier generators, but those barriers won't last forever!"
Another round of Artillery fire goes off. This one amounts to as much as the last, although more shells explode harmlessly on the barriers being generated.

Galahad fires on the soldiers Marielle targets. Eventually they break a hole in the shields, and the fire from the other SPSRL cuts through the front lines.
Marielle waits as Galahad moves into their next position to further widen the hole. she glances back at Ophiuchus who was still unconcious.
-----
MEANWHILE...
Aleine was very tired from straining her powers so much. Taking as much of a form as she had was a poor choice, but what was done was done and she had to press on. She had one of her soldiers driving her to Lavstin. She knew the orbiswould be there, but that was all the more reason to go before they got to Elric. Another pressing issue would be to get through the Arcadisian forces around the capital.

"One of the barriers is down! Focus fire on that group of soldiers!," Blitzcrank orders. At his command the SPSRL open fire on the exposed group, who are quickly cut down. The other Arcadisian reinforcements open fire on the SPSRL themselves, showing that the barriers only reflect attacks from the outside, not the inside.

"We got to get through those barriers." Alonzo says.
"Give me a second..." Michael grabs onto something. "...to get ready." he says as his power begins to set in.

"Don't worry mate. I got this one.," Paragear says to Michael. Taking aim with his rifle, he fires a shot that goes straight through one of the barriers and kills the man generating it. The barrier instantly goes down and the men beneath it are mowed down quickly. "Them barriers are strong they are, but a single, sharp, precise point of force is enough to break through if it's strong enough."

"Well...I'm in the mood to get precise anyways so let me do my thing." Michael looks up. His ys were the same as his fathers and brothers, except for an eerie calm that resided in them

Paragear shrugs. "Alright, have at them."

"Take down the remaining barriers. Anyone wanting the blood of these soldiers, follow me." Michael says as he leaps off the platform.

Galahad continues picking off the soldiers Marielle singles out. They take out two more barriers.
"We should cover them." Marielle says, seeing Michael and others going in.
"Quite right milady!" Galahad says and heads in with them.

"Guy's got some bloodlust in him," Paragear comments before aiming and sniping another barrier generator, bringing down another barrier and killing all the soldiers that were beneath it with the ensuing artillery fire.
----------------------
The city itself was pretty much taken by this point. There is only a concentrated force defending the keep left, and even they're heavily outnumbered and outgunned. Desperate to fight off the SPSRL invaders, the xenophobic Arcadisian defenders ignite a series of charges around the keep that causes it to go up in a large explosion, bringing the entire structure and surrounding area down and killing most anyone in the blast radius. Only a few of the hardiest SPSRL emerge from the rubble still able to function while non of the humans inside survive.
---------------------
Blitzcrank is startled by the explosion. He's sad, but accepts that these kind of actions were likely to happen. "They'd rather die than give up any supplies to us.," he says with much melancholy.

Michael stops in his tracks upon seeing the carnage. "Damn it...they're desperate."
--------------
Capricorn stopped the car the moment they heard James' broadcast.
He looks back at Scorpio, who was so mad her 'flesh' was bubbling.
"You ok Boss?" He asks Scorpio.
"Desiderius...so it was him...he...he...HE KILLED MY HUSBAND!!" In one swift instant Scorpio reverted to her ink form and flung herself through the passenger window.
"SHIT!!" Capricorn says, restarting the car. "She's DEFINITELY not ok." It starts and goes off toward the direct she fled to.

Despite the efforts of the defenders in the city, the battle outside was a losing one for the Arcadisian reinforcements. The number and strength of the SPSRL there was simply too much.
"Keep attacking! Take them out as quickly as possible! The sooner we get to the capital the better!," Blitzcrank orders his army.
