The orks, crazy for seeing their prey out of hand, bring the assault everywhere. On the terrible pit of metal sheets and bodies that has become the western front, the blood axes assault the last two Macharius super heavy tanks, arrived there to block their way, the only way that can lead them towards the Soopa Stompa and the great bridge. The Sagitarii demy-century and the bad moons unleash their support fire. the fire flares up again, chopping the chopped among fires and explosions. The two superheavy tanks are set on fire, and two dozen orks fall to the ground.
The blood axes regroup, waiting for the rapid advance of the bad moons. Advance that will never happen.
The Sagitarii demy-century opens a substained fire against the last battlewagons of the bad moons clan, a fire for them now unsustainable. The last battlewagon, along with a battlefortress carrying a handful of boyz flee to the abandoned space port, for never to return.
Conquered the ork objectives, stopped the Soopa Stompa on Logar square, also defeated the blood axes and the bad moons on the western front, the infantry regiment on the large bridge leaves its position and, replaced by the last two sentinels, assaults the death koptas on Finnich square. A great battle, which finally sees the triumph of the imperial forces, although at a high price.
The rhythm of the guns, like the heartbeat of a dark god, like a burning rain that is consuming, begins to decrease, up to vanish altogether. The battle of Daltan is over.
Aggro-Rolla moves again, and for a moment all the voices on Logar square fall silent, now exhausted. But the Gargant moves, moves to escape. The retreat of Aggro-Rolla is accompanied by resounding screams, human screams: shouts of victory.
With the conquest and the control of the AX68 Highway the imperial forces get the main corridor to deploy deeply in the ork rearlines their regiments, breaking into two and more parts the ork forces, condemning, albeit through other numerous battles, to their inevitable defeat. The liberation of Kepler Secundus is now a matter of days, maybe two weeks.
OST - W.A.S.P. - The Heretic
<< Veteran Princeps Baal, Herzog, my red devils! Implacabilis Vindictae was vindicated, this victory is essential to give courage to the whole imperial expedition. Yet, about what happened to your machine spirits, I order you the silence. The eye of the Inquisition is upon us. We will investigate behind our steel walls on Piombus about the prophetic and obscure images that our titans communicate us. Remember: Deus Machina est! The Omnissiah walks among us! >> Legate Carl Pastorius, Lord of the Legio Metalica H.A. division.
