Military: Battle
As the last dregs of night waned away into morning a small force of veteran IIIrd legion move up to the spaceport defences, between them and their objective lay the forces of the 13th, vastly outnumbered they would have to take the battlements with scalpel strikes rather than hammer blows of brute force, advancing forth under heavy fire the first clash of combat would begin.

Locutaris the elite warriors of ultramar leapt forward on fiery blasts from their jump packs the Librarian Claudius leading their force made the order to strike at the advancing assault squad, beckoning him in the newly promoted Sergeant Aventar Luminus would stake his claim to the challenge, the roiling waves of the warp had betrayed the librarian as his force stave swung the brave sergeant ducked low and drove his power fist up grabbing the enemy’s arm and with a sickening crunch of wet flesh and breaking bones he ripped away.
Elsewhere in the battlefield the ultramarines were attempting to push on all fronts to break the ranks of the 3rd before they could drive their assault home , dreadnoughts clashed thunderous blows until the ancient of the 3rd was a wreck, Ambros Valantion and his companions slaughtered the assault squad and tacticals attempting to flank the eastern wing of the battlefield cutting off any means of escape.
Aventar thinking too much of himself tried once again to fight the Locutaris with only a single battle brother beside him, unsuccessful he was able to gun his jump pack and escape the reaches of the enemy but only just….
Down the centre saw the thickest fighting, bulky warriors clad in layers of ceramite and shielding smashed eachother with the force of freight trains, the faster emperors children batting aside their blows and driving through the squad killing them to the man and dissolving what little order was left in the ultramarines force.
By the end of the battle only a handful of ultramarines lived their futures uncertain as the 26th Millenial stormed the walls pressing on towards the core of the spaceport hunting for another fight in the name of the Phoenician
In light of his meritorious service Aventis was inducted into the palatine brotherhood eschewing his power fist in favour of the elegant phoenix rapier gifted to him by Ambros.
