Following the chaos offensive in the southern sector of the Mordecai Secundus Front, general Kutuzov agreed with his war council to stiffen the defences around the Sathugar mines. The Dark Angels meanwhile agreed to undertake an assault against the Emerald Serpent, as the forces of chaos were now uncomfortably close to where Kutuzov desired to fortify, threatening to disrupt the defensive operation.
the Dark Angels were more than happy to get to grips with the elite Thousand Sons within the Emerald Serpent armies, and their opening salvo proved particularly devastating as they charged south from imperial fortified areas. The traitor astartes attempted to use the power of the warp to hold back the loyalist advance, but the winds of fate were not with them, and gradually the rubric marines were cut down in the face of withering firepower. Finally the Dark Angels delivered a charge that broke the chaos lines, forcing the Emerald Serpent to withdraw to more defensible positions. The threat of interference removed, Kutuzov's men began building their new trench system.
