Nox led the group forward with Raya as they were immediately under the aim of multiple rifles. The Warlord would walk with them on the wall, flanked by his two guards as both he and the Solus'alor just locked gazes as if they were the only two there. Without tearing his gaze from the man, one almost similar in size to him, he murmured to Raya in their native tongue, "He is mine."
The group eventually reached the center of the fort as Nox would come to a halt. All of the Mandalorians would stop before putting their hands on the prisoners, either stopping them or shoving a couple to the ground who chose to stay there. The Warlord would eventually stand on a platform that was above them, his hands upon his hips as he stared down at them like he was the rightful king. "I've seen your invasion force. Honestly, I believed your first target would have been me but color me surprised. What do you want?"
As the two parties spoke, teams of Mandalorians would approach the flanks of the fort, using the swamp as cover while the occupying force was preoccupied with the new arrivals. Zuus led this force as he silently ordered the others, one by one each crusader aiming a grapple line before firing and finding purchase. All they needed would be a little more time.
Nox stared at the Warlord for a brief moment before he finally responded, "My people are expanding and we value talented and skillful allies. We found there is quite an abundance on this planet and wish to work together." The Solus'alor wasn't specific about who he was speaking to.
The Warlord chuckled and spread his arms wide, "Then I welcome you as you recognize the true power on this planet. The populace has recognized me as their ruler during these troubling times but the transition has not been smooth." He gestured to the prisoners beneath him before he continued, "But, with our forces together, we could easily remove these pests as you put it yourself."
Nox waited a couple of seconds as his fist tightened slowly, the way the man spoke infuriating him with each word. As he was about to open his mouth, an inaudible and muted color beep would suddenly start on his gauntlet. It was time. Catching it, he would offer a quick glance down before he placed his hands on his hips as well. "Ironically, we had the same idea. Now!" With his hands already on his hips, he reached within his belt smoothly before dropping a smoke grenade as thick clouds would billow out.
Immediately after, the Solus'alor activated his jetpack as he took but low to the ground. He flew in the path of a reverse J and straight toward the platform, unloading a wrist rocket with blaster fire around him as he tilted up. The explosive would shoot ahead and explode underneath the wooden platform, sending the warlord and his guards flying back as pieces of wood shattered and splintered in an explosion of debris.
Practically instantly after that happened, Nox himself would fly through the hole as he broke through the rest of the construction. A blur of steel and crimson as he angled for his primary target right afterward. He would collide with the warlord as he held onto the man and took them both in the air for a few feet, slamming them down onto the ground as both tumbled away harshly and upon contact and crashed into their own walls with heavy thuds.
