“Look at the crude, clumsy Mon Keigh
machines as they try to find us.” Exarch Raphal exclaimed to
his squad of Fire Dragons, “Eral, Fras, I want you two to
stand infront of the vehicle while the rest of us circle around
to behind it, on my command everyone will fire. Clear”
As the rest of the Aspect warriors signalled their readiness the
tank swung its turret round and fired a shell that landed just
six feet away from their concealed position sending up a shower
of shrapnel and dust, which gave the Fire Dragons the preciou
seconds that were needed to get into position.
“Fire.” Exarch Raphal shouted, and as one, the Aspect
Warriors of the Dragon Temple opened fire and the Imperial Tank
disappeared under the fire of the melta weapons, appeared for a
few moments, then exploded with a ferocity expected only by the
death of a star and the Fire Dragons scrambled for cover, but not
quick enough, Fras and Dreon were caught in the fireball and were
killed instantly, but the rest of the squad dived behind a large
boulder straight into a squad of Imperial Guard Soldiers.
“Charge!” The order came simultaneously from both the
Sergeant and the Exarch, and both squads of troops reacted
instantly. In a few short moments the Imperial Guard troops all
lay dead and the Eldar left to three of their original number,
plus their Exarch.
“Collect the Waystones then move out, we have a mission to
complete.”
