Quickly Karliel's grip releases from his rifle and his mind reels in from the memory of the rift. Turning to face his master, Karliel tilts his head in respect.

"Thank you Orion. We have turned this battlefield into a shrine to Khorne, hopefully the Blood God smiles on us this day. However, the battle was harder fought than I had anticipated. The renegades held their own fairly well against our forces and had overwhelming artillery support towards the end of the battle which forced us to break off pursuit. We are at 80% combat efficiency and I am not sure our force is capable of fighting these renegades in multiple engagements such as this one with their artillery."

Karliel looks down at one of his chainaxes and then back up at Orion.

"The Skitarii are a magnificent fighting force, but do not seem properly suited for the shock assault tactics I wish to make use of. I intend to make battle as bloody as possible for our patron and Soin reminded me that you had some Orgyns at your command, which also reminded me that you also have some of those tech-fiends. With your approval, I would like to have a handful of heavily armored Ogryn to be part of my "personal guard" to fight in the front and perhaps one of those fiends if you can spare one. If we can close with the enemy quickly, they will be forced to kill their own men if they try to use their artillery advantage again. No doubt they will be terrified of the vanguard when they see myself, Ogryns, and the fiend charging forward."

"I was also wondering if you had intel on where their main artillery batteries are. I want to make those the next targets of our expedition so as to neutralize that advantage of theirs. We can deal with those targets while those orgyns are in transit to the camp we have established here."
