The Senshi often needed help beyond the Silver Knights. The business of internal defense often fell onto the veterans of the Deathwatch and the Grey Knights in addition to the Silver Knights. The Senshi could call on the Lord of Acrocelestia. Artouron Allanor.
--------------
The Scion of Terra was a massive ship and well she appeared in orbit over the planet. "My Lord we have entered orbit". The crew-serf turned to the massive armored figure that was seated on the high command throne under the eagle. He was pale, not as pale as the Lord of Deliverance but pale all the same. With dark brown hair and a light beard about his jaw.
"Very well, hail the planet. They took Serenity hostage and well they will have to answer for that." The crew serf nodded. "I have the Over-Archon on the short range communications lord." The massive vid screen activated showing the small roundish Over-Archon that was holding a laspistol to Serenity's head. She was bound and gagged her eyes were wide with terror.
"Well I dont know why you would be foolish to assault my sister Over-Archon in such a manner. She did have a Custodial squad with her? Or did you sister." He smiled knowing his sisters tendencies to be very diplomatic and take risks. Father had often asked him and his brothers to attempt diplomacy before their Legions were sent to the field.
"Tell your Father to leave this world alone. We dont want your Imperium, we will kill this b-tch and then what will you do." Allanor looked and nodded. "Well this world is to be brought into compliance with the rule of my Father. Over-Archon you are a tyrant and well, need I say more."

The landings had begaun while the Primarch kept the despot talking and all eyes were on the Scion of Terra over the capitol. Two other groups had dropped out of warp. Right on top of the world in low orbit. 20,000 space marines were deployed within seconds. The first wave came by droppod, dreadnoughts and tactical squads deploying in urban areas. Right onto the enemy.
---------------------------------------------
The suprise had payed off, thought Sargent Gaderal as he moved forward. Bolter rounds were put to a good use. 500 Marines of the 15th great company moved into the city. This was not the Central Spire, Archonwatch where the Princess was being held. This was a city that would have to be subdued as well. His HUD marked three mortal soliders of the Over Archon's army that were hiding with a heavy plasma gun in a second story window.
He raised his bolter and fired two shells that were dart filled. A drum clip was in his weapon. The rounds were made for busting bunkers. The ferrocrete walls were nothing to this rounds. He moved on without a glance back. The way of the legion was to be clinical, there was only the objective.
------------------------------------------
The 1st Great Company assaulted the Capitol with the Primarch beaming directly into the Over-Archons throne room with a squadron of terminators to take on the robots. He walked up to the Over-Archon. The man was quaking he pointed the laspistol at Allanor and fired, it bounced harmlessly off the giants armor. In the background the automatons were set upon by the warriors of the I Great Company.
"Come one step closer and I will shoot her." Allanor stared, his black-blue cloak was fluttering from the winds coming in. The room echoed with the sounds of combat. Allanor looked at the man. "Your world is lovely but well it was at a cost. The cost for your world coming on as a truly fine planet of the Emperor will be your life." With speed that only a Primarch had he shot the Over-Archon with his bolt pistol. "Thus ends a damnable tyrant."
