Upon the declaration of their liege the Knights began to move. One after another they fell back into the now fully prepared kill zone for the few moments that they would get for peace.
With heavy feet the Knights ascended as numerous Imperial Fists and Second Legionnaires ran underneath them. The coming defense was one of the last few they had. From the words of Lord Sicarian the Blackstone Fortress will be emerging out of the warp when the last defense starts to collapse, as the Sanctus Dominus declared that they will make this the greatest purging of Orks yet to be seen.
As he saw the gunline coming into view he looked out over those who were present. The Prince saw groups of Skitarii, Astartes, and even some of the artillery pieces preparing themselves for the coming fight. Behind them were the few Titans they had standing vigil over the Fortress they seemingly guarded for eternity.
Slowly the Prince came to a stop and he turned to see his Knights emerging from the cloud of debris that was kicked up from the bombardment. Their armors were cracked and their paint jobs covered in a sort of blackened smudge, but they walked with their heads in the air.
It was then that he noticed something, +Lord Dominus Orion, what is the status of House Navaros?+
+Unknown, communication has been lost.+ Declared the Tech Priest without a hint of sympathy in his voice.
+What is the status of their last engagement?+
+4D, taking on higher Orkoid Warforms.+
They were currently sitting in sector 1B, meaning that they were two sectors behind from the last moment communication was made.
+Able Armigers on me, we ride to the aid of Navaros!+ Declared the Prince as he began advancing towards the given position.
+My Lord!+ Cried the Armigers as they quickly started following their Prince. Now was not the moment where they could complain about it as they brought their Armigers to a warspeed.
