"Halt! Stand down!" Salbatore cried out.
The Crimson Fist strike force had wasted no time rushing upon the Roja Plantation. Repulsor Tanks, Stormhawk and Inceptors struck within the perimeters. Interim Captain Tadeas lead the Intercessor squads marching out of their transports to begin searching and locking down districts.
Within moments of the Crimsons' entrance, red armoured Primaris Astartes in turn revealed themselves and their strength of numbers right across the plantation.
There was a cold stand off. Defenders vs Invaders.
Stefano Salbatore, Captain of the Crimson Fists Primaris Company walked out from The Exorcists Command hab. Interim Captain Tadeas, betrayed his steely stance as he relaxed, his eyes spotting the Captain.
Tadaes blinked the 'At Ease' Icon to all squads, the Crimson Fist all lowered their weapons.

"...The Exorcist's have walked Krillion for as long as we have" Salbatore educated Tadaes and the Lieutenants.
"It appears the south have known conflicts with Chaos, just as the Krillion Liberation Crusade as known in the north, and east. The Exorcist's believes the key to ending the Krillion Invasion lies across the seas, 'Doom's Maul. It delights me greatly that in my absence we have managed to breach this location..."
"My Lord" Tadeas injected his information "we are establishing ourselves upon on a former settlement, an old port hub that has collapsed into the sea. It was the only option available to us, the feral continent is unwelcoming but your orders were carried out nevertheless. Nothing will stop our duty."
"Duty is honour." Salbatore affirmed "There is however more happening upon Krillion than we are lead to believe and we are waiting on the Emperor's word to guide us, this is why I delayed my return to you..."
"My Lord, The Emperor's Word?" Tadeas asked perplexed.
"The Golden Legion is here. We are being joined by the Ardent Halo Shield Host.
This fight is bigger than us, now, and...always was."
