Editing Razing of Leshmiere (section)

==Leshmiere Burns==
As the battle above the two worlds had been one, the war on their surfaces still remained. Alexandri decided to make an example of one to the other. Outside the major cities on Leshmiere-I, hundreds of Strelky regiments were deployed. These forces were ordered to swarm the installations, and note down every tactic and defense shown. After being reduced to a non-combative strength, more regiments were sent down, equipped with new knowledge. If this wave failed, then Space Marines with an even greater number of Strelky would be sent in. The tactics were unnecessary, many in the Legion knew the Cataphracts could complete this task alone. But Alexandri would not waste a single one of his men unnecessarily. 

The populace of Leshmiere-I were shocked by the callous attitude of not only the Strelky but the Cataphracts. Civilians were not a concern, targets were targets. Whole swathes of urban structures became a leveled waste to make allow an easier time for assaults. The populace was decidedly turned against their invaders, but this did not matter. They were all crushed beneath boots and treads by the Rosskan forces. This grueling campaign lasted for months. The entire time, a deadlock was put on Leshmiere-II. Not assaulted, but not allowed to assist its neighboring world. Forced to watch and learn of what was transpiring, as communications were left unhampered.

As Leshmiere-I surrendered, eyes turned to its sister. Alexandri spoke to the Speaker of the Assembly, Andiu Marista, about formal surrender. Andiu gave an impassioned, two hour long speech about why Lesmhiere would triump, and if not, it would hold glory and grace in defeat. Alexandri accepted this, let Andiu go unharmed, then ordered his fleets to level the largest city on Lesmhiere-II. Then they were to work down to the smallest, until someone begged them to stop. It would be the Speaker himself in the end calling for an end to the death.
