Although the main chaos operation to take back Mordecai Secundus was winding down, the chaos forces continued to launch assaults along the front line, attempting to disrupt Kutuzov's orderly withdrawal. One such attempt was made by a force of chaos knights, who launched an offensive from the south near Kutuzov. This was dangerous for the withdrawing Novgorod Guard, so Kutuzov ordered in his own mobile force of House Stroganov knights to counter this attack.The two sides were relatively evenly matched, and they faced off on the plains of Mordecai Secundus with the Imperium deloying an Errant and Gallant class on their right and a Valiant with an Armiger in the centre of the battlefield. Facing them the chaos army deployed three medium class knights in their centre, supported by traitor astartes. The chaos forces charged into House Stroganov, losing one of their knights, but severely damaging the Knight Valiant. Despite repeated attacks the Valiant survived, but the battle saw a great loss in terms of these mighty war machines. Eventually the imperial force managed to outmanoeuvre the chaos force, taking a key objective towards the rear of the enemy force and unhinging their supply lines. Forced to retreat, the chaos attack was prevented from interfering with Kutuzov's withdrawal and the fortification of the "Kutuzov Line" continued.
