Being a Knight fitted with the most advance technologies of the Mechanicum Fredric did not realize how much of a lynch pin he was in these battles. His occulars were under constant observation of the Tech Priests. Seeing no point in holding them back he noticed a variety of names being informed to him in passing. One of those of course was the Arch Dominus who was managing the battlefield.
Fredric could not blame them as with the advantage in height they were able to judge what was happening at the ground level.
It was also through these eyes that the retreat was organized as committed. Fredric quickly saw the lines of Skitarii Vanguard taking up fire as their more vulnerable counterparts quickly began running up the hill towards an even higher elevation. These Rangers were passing the Sons of TalOS who were sending across the battlefield a series of perfectly aimed lascannon shots.
For a moment he watched as one of the Astartes in yellow armor, an Imperial Fist, clicked a button that caused a series of their defenses to quickly fall in a perfect order. A simple way to deny the Greenskin their holdings. Some of them were cutting down greenskin as well, but they were a minority compared to those who were fleeing to their next defenses.
Sacrifices to the fire to hold back the horde, just as those Vanguard who were standing in vigil keeping back the creatures.
+Prepare to receive bombardment!+ Declared the Prince as his remaining Knights stood vigil against the terror.
That odd sense that he had flared up once again. Fredric was still not used to the senses of an advanced Machine Spirit, but he knew now what it was telling him a bombardment was coming towards them.
Just as he saw moments ago the series of bombs came flying into the battlefield with waves of power rolling across the hills. He could barely see the flashpoint as the radbombs of the Mechanicum went off. He watched for a moment as Skitarii and Ork alike were turned asunder by either radiation or heat, with the surviving Astartes quickly making their way out of the blast zone.
+Fall back, our duty here is done. Those injured rotate out with those at the Fortress.+
>Hunt for more monsters and idols.
>Track down the other Prince
>Arch Angelus is damaged, retreating to the Fortress.
