-----------------------------------------------
A large section of the opposing army consisting of Gors, Ungors and Brays charged at the town walls but the soldiers did not open fire as per Alastor's orders.
"You don't seem nervous for your first battle?" Alleria commented even as she kept her gaze on the charging Beastkin.
"Should I? I admit I do wish to end this with the least casualties.....On my side."
When the Beast wave reached the half way point that's when change happened.
BOOOOOOMMMM!!!!
Explosions were detonated as the wave entered a mine field causing many of the Beastkin to die and be further disoriented due to their sensitive senses.
Furthermore the mines were all set in specific positions predicted by Alastor who knowing the Beastkin brutal and straightforward tactics doubly so when their general was a Doombull would rarely use advanced tactics.
In the end it would separate the charging wave into 4 different attack groups no longer being a single wave and then....
Hell broke loose as each of his four contingent of soldiers unleashed their energy weapon's fire on their respective Beastkin column further increasing the death toll of the Beastkin as they were being gunned down without mercy.
Worse still for the Beasts was how the mortars division had also started raining down explosive shells on them.
Seeing the massive losses they were inflicting on the Beasts the soldiers morale was high.
But Alastor only watched all of this with a calm analytical look knowing that this wave was more or less a meat shield.
It was a common Beastkin tactic to waste their own overall stamina and wear down enemy defences which would normally have a effect.....too bad the one they were facing was a Demigod made for war.
And like the calm before the storm the main wave finally moved as well as not only more Gors joined the charge this time led by Individual Wargors; not far behind came elite units like Minotaurs, Bestigors, Centigors and Warhounds.
Alastor used his commlink and contacted Alyn and the rest of the Royal Guard commanding the other contingents.
"Begins phase 2 and focus on the Gors only if Beastkin Elites approach the walls are you to concentrate on them"
He got multiple affirmatives through his commlink and watched as 5 Honour guards in each group brought out Assault-class Miniguns and proceeded to unleash a storm of bullets alongside the still ongoing barrages.
Another group of Honour guard also now hefted rockets and Grenade launchers which they used on groups that got too close to the walls.
"That's all well and all but you do realize more Beastkin are coming from the Forest" Alleria said even as she fired multiple shots from her plasma bow each shot taking a Beastkin's life or multiple lives at once.
And she was right even now Beastkin were coming from the forest thankfully a majority of it were Gors but Alastor further confirmed that the current army he was seeing was not their full might.
While Gors were dying in entire droves as well as quite a few Elites due to the sustained fire and the "kill zones" made by Alastor's planning.
They were also doing their purpose. Acting like living meat shields and concentrating most of their fire upon themselves allowing the Elite Beastkin behind them to close the distance further and further.
Alastor knew victory was not gonna be easy and a war of attrition was out of the question since not only were his own forces very much outnumbered but their heavy weapon supplies and ammunition wouldn't hold for that long as well.
That is if they were able to hold back the Beast tide from reaching the walls and either climbing up them or destroying them.
Not only would such a strategy be inefficient but he also refused to needlessly throw away the lives of his men knowing it would only lead to meaningless death.
Thankfully he already knew such a outcome might come and he did have a plan for it.
"I know and it looks like I will have to go with Plan B regardless"
"...And What in Isha's name is Plan B?" Alleria couldn't help but feel he was gonna do something insane.
Alastor only smiled as he drew his High-frequency power sword; Dawn from its sheath while hefting a custom made power Axe he called Reckoning in his other hand as he bended down slightly.
Alleria's eyes widened as well as Alyn who was a bit further away commanding his group.
Both thought at the same time. 'He won't---would he!?'
He did
With a might leap Alastor's figure flew forward from atop the main gate as he used his Telekinesis to glide down to the back of the Gor lines and face to face with the Elite Beastkin!
"Your Highness!!?" Alyn called in panic as he saw his charge in the midst of the enemy army! and he wasn't the only one shocked with this as the soldiers and the other Royal Guard also watched Slack jawed!
'That mad man actually did it!?' Even Alleria watched shocked at the absolute insane action he just did, Yes she knew he was a very skilled and strong warrior as she was with him when they scouted out the enemy yesterday and killed many scouting groups.
But these groups mostly consisted of Gors like Castigors, Bovigors, Ungors and other mainline Beastkin. What he was facing now were Elite Beastkin!
These beings were not only were much more savage and bloodthirsty than their lower kin but also possessed far greater physical might, Vitality, intelligence and instincts.
It was to the point that they were a significant danger for any army despite possessing no advanced weapons just their Bloodlust, Powerful bodies, corrupted magic and heightened senses.
Otherwise why wouldn't the Beastkin have already been wiped out despite 2,800 years having passed considering almost every other intelligent race on Azeroth wanted them dead!
---------------------------------------------------------
The Beastkin on the other hand especially the Elites on the other hand were now even more excited!
Their entire society and structure was based on power, savagery, chaos and gore, the easiest and most dangerous way for a lower ranked Beastkin to rise in their brutal society was to challenge and kill their superior Beastkin taking their place.
In fact one of the best ways for ambitious Beastkin to gain glory and acclaim with their herd and other herds was not only in the number of kills but the "quality" of their kills.
Killing a enemy commander was a big achievement and many feared Beastlords even take trinkets from their fallen foes or even their skulls and adorn them on their armour and bodies as a mark of status and glory!
So seeing the human's commander practically deliver himself to them on a silver platter the Beastkin were more than happy to kill this upstart human and take his head as a trophy!
The first to get into Alastor's range was a minotaur and two Bestigors as they swung their axes and hammers down at him without hesitation.
Blood flew and soaked the ground just as expected.....just not Alastor's.
The Minotaur looked confused as he lost feeling in his hand that wielded his hammer and saw that it "disappeared" he also saw that the two Bestigors beside him seemed a head shorter....No....they...
Their heads were chopped clean off and blood gushed out their bodies like a geyser.
The last thing the minotaur saw was the human's axe approaching his neck and hitting it with such strength and speed it tore it clean off as well without any resistance.
Alleria, the watching human soldiers and even the Beastmen paused for a moment in shock for different reasons as limbs and heads flew due to strikes in such speeds they didn't even see.
And in that moment the Beastkin felt a similar feeling. The feeling a predator feels when faced with not only a stronger predator but one that lays comfortably at the top of the food chain.
Alastor did not flinch as he was covered in Beast blood instead he moved forward and put his foot on the minotaur's headless corpse.
"Come! take my head, THAT IS IF ANY OF YOU CAN!!!"
That seemed to break the camel's back as the Beastkin charged at him with renewed bloodlust and fury or maybe it was their flight or fight instincts coming to the forefront.
Alastor looked at them coldly as he didn't stay idle or even retreat instead he charged in the forefront himself and the Chaos of war started anew.
The soldiers also began once more shooting them with their respective weapons as the intensity of the fight reached a new level.
While on Alastor's side limbs, heads and other body parts were severed and...
Much blood flowed.

Author Notes: Alastor is finally gonna show just how dangerous a Primarch even a young one can be.
