Fifty Third Volume, Chapter Twenty Three
In the previous chapter I wrote of the beginning of the conflict that in later annals became known as the battle of the Pilgrims. The end of the battle however bears closer examination.
There were still a number of the Daemonic Foes in combat around the Pilgrims however under the watchful eye of Talis Saro, Macharius the First Officer, and the Master at arms Ichigo placed their fire-power against them. Two of the Warp entities were slain in a hail of holy bolter shells, one dying as it's head was destroyed and another having the muscles of it's chest blown from it's body and expiring from the leaking of it's vital fluids. Such was the skill of the people under Talis Saro's command, chosen with great care by his own hand. Talis himself fired upon another one, striking it with the Plasma pistol that was to have so great a place in his mythology, and catching the warp tainted flesh of the beast afire with cleansing fire, and causing the beast to shriek in pain. Not for long however as his Enginseer prime put the creature down, a burst of bolter shells tearing it's leg off as calculated by her enhanced mind.
