Bad weather and difficult terrain hampered the Ultramarines efforts to regroup after the recent conflicts with the Rift Wardens. On this occasion as several Ultramarine squads moved ahead of the main company force, they came under fire from Rift Warden marines hidden in nearby ruins. This started a three day battle for the site. When captain Demeter arrived, the Ultramarines gained an overwhelming advantage, forcing the Rift Wardens to withdraw further into the ruined city/
On the second day, as the Ultramarines moved south around the Helghast district they came again under fire from from Rift Warden positions in overlooking tenement ruins. The Ultramarines charged in and took the advantage in hand to hand combat.
Due to the collapsed and ruined streets of Helghast, the Rift Wardens were lacking in heavy ordinance. Only a single redemptor dreadnought was present to back up the intercessor squads. In this instance, the Rift Wardens lacked the overwhelming numbers present previously. During this battle, the Rift Wardens lost a newly promoted captain to the blade of captain Demeter. A revenge stroke for the loss of their own captain just days before.
Although they lost this engagement and forced to retreat, the battle showed the Ultramarines that the Rift Wardens were still a force to be reckoned with. If a reconciliation was not soon coming this war might drag on for weeks or even months.
