IC: the fleet keeps firing scattering the chaos attempt to destroy the fleet, the battleship holy fury's broad side barrage straddles the chaos flagship as the crusiers an what remains of the destroyers an escorts change positions to fend off the attack..all ships burning on fire but the battle seems to be in the imperium's favour as the torpedoes an lance batteries an volcano cannons find there mark as the space marines support the imperial navy

admiral: the enemy fleet is going to make hell out of us..send a destroyer abck to fleet com now with my authority request another battle group with flotilla of heavy ships

warrant officer: sir there hasn't been battle fleets with so many heavies since cadia an draxus 4 with the tyranid hive fleet destructos..you think they'll send another battle group?

admiral: theyll have to, the astartes are here therefore it is an important campaign

the warrant officer nods an relays the orders to last destroyer as it turns tail an heads to safe jumping distance as the reinforcement fleet puts the space hulks between their sights enabling a crippling blow

inside the grand cruiser the armsmen have set up good positions with the 100 guardsmen that arrived an the space marines, light bolter machine guns are set up on all surrounding corridors 500 men ready to fight over 2km of ship making every inch as bloody as the first bullet dropped.

on the ground d+5 with the space marines having the main section secured the ghosts withdraw their armour for a counter attack as the plans are being made up to take the road as 100 basilisks line the rear ready to fire high explosive shells at the target as soonas the advance to the road is given the go ahead

in the command tent

patton: what will we name this operation?

major: I suggest operation rock in a hard placeseemingly as we are limited to this road

the other officers concur on the situation as the troops are armed an readying up

patton: whats the cities status?

colonel: some 400,000 civilians in shelters to our rear evacuated by the PDF an the cities essentially a sink hole with a few thousand guard an god knows how many knights space marines in the city.

patton: well we will leave the city to them and we will help them lock down the city,then we will go here *points on a big flat grassland 40km east* the enemies will need to advance here to get at our forces since they have withdrawn, we will destroy them with all our might

the officers agree at the situation an talk amongst them selves
