Once more, the Nob proved to bear its title with good reason. More than matching Ciaran in speed, it either blocked his blows or simply endured it with its superior toughness. However, trapped between Ciaran and the Death Spectre, even the Ork could not keep its defiance up forever, especially with one half of its vision gone.

After exchanging several blows that would have cleaved an ordinary human in half, Tyberion's attacks eventually connect and he lodges his Chainsword in the Orks head. The Xeno let out a final surprised grunt before the revving, whirling blades tore its skin, bone and flesh apart in a storm of gore and splattering blood. After a few seconds, a ruined crater of shredded matter remained where the Ork's head had been and it even took a single wonky step before falling on its side, dead.

Thanks to Volprecht's aid, Kellen made it back to the ranks of his fellow Brothers, while the Black Templar stood as a bulwark against the greenskins. Held up by the Marine, Kellen's frag grenade tore several of them apart, the seething heat of the explosion washing over Volprecht in a destructive wave that momentarily shook the systems of his Power Armor and blurred his vision.

This momentary vulnerability was covered by Marius, whose well-placed shots swiftly took care of the few battered, surviving Xenos, until the majority of the mob laid dead as splattered blood and torn apart bodies.

As Reus reached his Captain and the strange Marine, the Nob had fallen already and his death had an immediate effect on the surrounding Greenskins, the majority suddenly hesitated in their blood-mad ravings, seemingly confused upon instinctively noticing the loss of their leader. For a moment, a sort of silence befell them before one Ork, marginally taller than his neighbour, proceeded to split his fellow's head with his Choppa, upon which half the mob began to attack each other, while the other one either fled or continued attacking the Space Marines.

In time, Dax, retrieved a Choppa, a simple, heavy blade that felt crude and unwieldy. It was hardly imaginable that the greenskins were able to use these blunt slabs of metal to kill even Space Marines, but it would certainly serve it's purpose.
