Following the capture of Skrime by the forces of chaos general Kutuzov was keen to reapply the pressure on the southern front. To do this he moved the elite stormtrooper formation of the Last of Sycorax, until now held in reserve around Mount Harender, to the southern front. Dropping by air, the plan was to surround the city with these elite forces, allowing the Novgorod Guard to follow up and retake the city.
The initial drop went well, as valkyries and other airborne elements dropped straight into the action, finding to some concern that the defenders around the city now included elements of heretical Mechanicum, loyal to the arch traitor Cybixx. The battle was briefly fierce, but fortunately for Kutuzov the enemy forces were caught off guard, and by the middle of 0806.019M42 the imperial army had managed to encircle the city. As they dug in and made ready for the assault in the city, events further north threw into question Kutuzov’s strategy in the south.
