Agent: Myrmidon Deacon

Mission Parameters: Take and Hold

Campaign: Aristarchus Pacification

Target: Highgate Ridge

Report:

Heretics had taken the high ground into the main city and held it with heavy stubbers, my men had little chance to make any ground before being cut down. Two months into the operation to take back Highgate center the heretics were reinforced by several Bloodletter daemons. Deacon had already been ordered to assist in securing the ridge and was slated to arrive the day of the daemon advance. The Bloodletters tore through our front lines with little effort before Myrmidon Deacon arrived on the scene. I, personally, was overseeing the complete operation and I had never seen Myrmidon Deacon in combat. Upon his arrival there was little time wasted in engaging the enemy targeting the daemons when he could. Never had I seen a soldier meet a the entire enemy force head on. His tactics gave my Guardsman the opportunity to take vital positions in the attempt to push them back the enemy. For ten grizzle hours he massacred priority targets on his way to breach Highgate center and at the end he walked through the heavy stubber fire to take the emplacements and when he did my men poured into Highgate center to pursue the retreating enemy. I watched Deacon return to forward command and not once did he show signs of exhaustion or injury, but his return showed quite the opposite. He had several deep cuts and bullet wounds none life threatening if treated. I quickly made sure these wounds were healed in secrecy and began spreading the rumor he was the invincible Secuitor from a special order on Mars.
