[color=598527]"Disregard that, maintain current orders."[/color] Ansgar was the picture definition of a calm soldier, overriding the calls from the Arbites towards the air support. The Krieger was analyzing the situation, and an anti air weapon was mounted on one of the vehicles towing the massive Orkish throne, and ducking into cover from the fire incoming from the mass of crude Ork vehicles. As such, the man snapped off orders, being the one in charge of the current half of the group at the moment and acted as necessary. [color=598527]"Artillery on my coordinates, Time on Target. You two, continue with extraction, I'll keep up as necessary."[/color]

Ansgar continued his plan as if the continued following of orders wasn't dependent on the agreement of the others, but the fact they were given orders, and that was that. Acting as a representative of a portion of an Inquisitorial strike team, the order for artillery wasn't so much a request as it was treated as the order of the Emperor of Man himself. The Time on Target barrage would limit the warning that early shells would create, the concept that was meant to bring the maximum volume of fire in the shortest amount of time possible, and maximize the damage that would be done of the Orkish pursuit of the three Imperials. The normally follower of a Krieger barking orders was off putting, and the Basilisk crews were quick to follow orders if, for no other reason, to be under the more reassuring command of their Lieutenant.

Ansgar remained in position, which was far too close to the incoming artillery fire to be completely safe, spotting for the incoming fire. Priming a Krak Grenade, the Krieger lobbed a grenade at the oncoming Ork abomination of machinery, taking out the engine on one of the second vehicles, not a lead, forcing the lead vehicles to pull the ruined machine as well as the followers to push the wrecked vehicle. In other words, cripple the pursuit and put them in position to be hammered. Once the shells landed in one, mighty hammering blow, Ansgar withdrew as per his overarching orders from the Celestian. Following after the other two of this team, he would, as necessary, usher the others onto the Valkyrie so they could move on and complete the most important task at hand. Prevent the Titan falling into any hands that would do harm to the Imperium as a whole, or here for that matter.
