The Assault company led by Centurion Alexius and FC Jax soon stumbled onto a Ork raiding party numbering 20,000 on their way towards their destination. The ensuing melee was so bloody that every Praetorian was soon drenched in ork blood. However, with numbers and the sound of battle, another 20k raiding party appeared to join the battle. Soon, Nobs began to join the battle as well. With such uneven odds faced by the Praetorians, even with FC Jax rallying the marines against every ork assaults. Casaulties began to appear in the IP ranks, 6 more deaths added to the already wounded Assault company.

Down to 50 marines, hopes of surviving the battle against Orks numbering 30k strong was soon bleak. But suddenly, behind the orks came some sort of large behemoth that turned out to be a Land Raider Achilles and several Razorbacks. Commander Han had relayed the situation to Centurion Thanx and the likely position of the Assault company. Wasting no time in preparing a relief force, knowing that the defense of the Manufactorum is vital as well, Centurion Thanx tasked Centurion Fenix with the relief force. The Relief force led by Centurion Fenix made it in time to tip the scale towards the Praetorians favour.

Soon, with the additional firepower and several squads of Shock Marines adding with the ferocity of the Assault Company. The Orks soon buckled under the Iron will of the Praetorians Shock attacks. FC Jax and Centurion Alexius both accounted for the most Nobs Kills during the ensuing battle. After the largest Orks were dispatched, the lesser orks retreated in disarray only to be cut down by the Achilles and the supporting Razorbacks.

The injured were loaded onto the razorbacks while the assault terminator walk along the relief force flanks. Both Centurions and FC ride the Achillies back to the manufactorum. Along the way, they met and destroyed several more ork raiding party but took on more casaulties with additional 9 deaths.

Once reaching the manufactorum, with precise speed and supporting fire the relief force and the assault company was soon in the safety of the Manufactorum. But such notion of being safe is not taken lightly due to the fact that such may orks are already on the Forge world.
