As the battle continued to be at a standstill Faebala took off her helmt, sitting down smoothly onto a ledge and simply watching the firefight be exchanged. It was then that Several groups of Guardians came from inside a building, hovering weapons platforms of shuriken cannons in front of them. Almost as quickly as these appeared they began firing, power shuriken ammo slamming into the Imperium’s cover tearing chunks of It out and leaving slices of metal sticking out of whatever wasn’t completely destroyed. The fire from the Avengers, and other guardians increased to try and keep anyone from moving from behind their cover, and a foxhole with some PDF within suddenly exploded in a plume of dirt as a Lance blast caught it just right. Two soldiers crawled from the smoldering hole, but quickly went limp as shuriken rounds tore their bodies apart.

“This is growing, tiresome.” Faebala mutters to herself more than she does to the avengers around her. It was then that the sound of feet landing softly on the roof behind her could be heard. Who had arrived was a sight to behold, Autarch Keshanlia stood before them, her laser lance in hand as she surveyed the combat zone. 

“Seems things are going well Faebala. I hope you don’t mind if I reinforce you a bit.” A smiled passed between the two but only for a moment as the battle raged on. The Fire Prisms continuing their relentless onslaught of Lance blasts at the Imperium Lines.

The sudden appearance of the Dreadnought was definitely a surprise, and as two of the jetbikes turned into flaming wrecks the rest turned and shot back towards the safety of their own troops. Ashesho couldn’t help but scowl though from her position on the tower, and took a deep breath of aggravation. “Let the machine return.” She descended the tower leaving Amosan to continue to watch over the battlefield, trusting him to take care of things. Her jetbike carried her quickly through the territory back to the Cavern. Not much had changed, nothing had been found unearthed, it was still going as slowly as before. “We need to step things up. If the Space Marines make it here before we are done, then all is for naught.”
