Editing Battle for Europa (section)

==Redemption==

On the third day, the traitors had sufficiently pushed to enact Kleisthenes' next phase. The Astartes of the I Legion continued their defense, bolstered by the flames of the IV Legion, the chemical weapons of the XII Legion, and the sorcerous ways of the XIV Legion. Yet members of the V, VIII, IX, XII, XIII, XVI, and XX Legions abandoned their roles in creating a crossfire to adopt a new strategem. Rather than create a single corridor of combat, Kleisthenes turned the battle into a quagmire for his foes by having his Astartes operate in smaller teams to use hit-and-run attacks and lure segments of the enemy forces into traps and ambushes. They would move through the access tunnels to single out and attack the traitor leaders and create infighting among the enemy ranks. Though the enemy themselves was focused on attempting to push through Kleisthenes' obvious defense, they were also finding themselves forced to stop and hunt down various smaller teams throughout each area they captured. Often they would find an area safe only to be attacked from there hours later. Losing focus on their goal slowed their advance to a crawl.
