"We are yours to command Brother Chaplain and I would gladly die for victory here. Yet, we would have less than 50 Astartes, you believe we would have the strength to take on a fortress on our own? Are there not more of our kin that could join us in this assault? Have no others been hailed by the vox-caster nor news regarding a second wave from orbit come in?"

Jarik sighs and cringes slightly as his wounds in his chest and arm remind him of the deadly weapons that the enemy posses. Against most foes, a force of 20 Astartes could storm and take any fortress with ease, but these foes, they posses technology and weapons that carve through the Emperor's finest like they were chaff. Even for somewhere around 50 Astartes, should the Ultramarines provide a full squad, would struggle to take a fortress, maybe even be pushed back like he and his squad were when trying to destroy the large anti-air gun earlier in the campaign.
