Fighting continued around the Paradox Flats as the Rift Wardens and the Deathwatch failed to bring the other to heel. The Deathwatch advancing behind the collapsing Rift Wardens lines, began their attack as they approached the fortified positions around the space marine headquarters. The first clashes took place along the Paradon River, starting a significant conclusive battle. After repeated attacks, the Deathwatch managed to achieve some limited success. After two weeks of fighting, the situation calmed, as the Deathwatch needed to replenish their forces. In order to pressure Arthurus into surrender, intensive Deathwatch attacks restarted just days later.
A week later, the situation became critical as forward units of the Deathwatch crossed the river. The next day, a counterattack led by Captain Gwaine, pushed the Deathwatch back. Arthurus actively reinforced his battle brothers with veteran squads and terminators, sending in the chapter's best. Gwaine became the commander of the Paradon front. After suffering heavy casualties in numerous battles, the Deathwatch were exhausted and reluctantly fell back, giving the Rift Wardens a moments breathing room.
