Despite the heavy forces bearing down on them the Sororitas put up an indomitable resistance that smashes even the best efforts of the Styrians. A group of brave Seraphim soar down onto the renegade Chimeras, destroying several with melta bombs and inferno pistols before they are killed. Malin and her own Celestians take to the forefront and scythe down renegade infantry as they attempt to surround and overwhelm the Sororitas position. Entire companies of renegades charge down the surrounding streets, some backed by Chimeras and Sentinels, but Battle Sisters and Retributors cut them down with bolter fire while Castigator cannons blow apart the enemy vehicles. Missiles and mortars land amongst the Sororitas before soaring Zephyrim and Seraphim hunt down and destroy the enemy emplacements.
While Canoness Malin holds the line, Palatine Rosaline organises a hasty counter attack with Immolators and Repressors, the armoured vehicles charging down the street into the Styrian infantry positions before disgorging Battle Sisters and Retributors armed with their enormous flamethrowers, bathing enormous clusters of renegade infantry in sanctified promethium and bathing the surrounding buildings in the searing liquid.
Burning soldiers and civilians alike fall from the windows of the surrounding hab-blocks as the enraged Sororitas practically torch the district, spewing flaming promethium up and down the concrete structures until they are burning from within like sacrificial pyres. The crackling flames reach up to the ceiling of the subcity level and bathe the district in a dancing orange glow that flickers across black Sororitas armour, and Malin allows herself the satisfaction of victory whilst Sororitas survivors are pulled from the rubble. Thousands of Styrians lay dead and dying in the surrounding streets and buildings, their vehicles smouldering and broken.
Palatine Velna claws her way from the collapsed hab-block herself but many of her Sisters are not so fortunate. In addition to those lost in the collapsed hab-block, dozens of Sisters lay killed by enemy explosives, heavy weapons, or simply the weight of lasgun fire. Nonetheless, Styrian resistance within the urban region itself has been well and truly crushed. Entire blocks of are in a flaming inferno that climbs up from floor to floor, and any renegade to have survived has fled for their lives. The rest of Malin's advance to the enemy stronghold is uncontested, but they have paid a heavy price.
