→Battle of Husk: clean up, replaced: armor → armour
On the planet Lazarus set a trap for the Orks that was dependent on [[Unrelenting Fury (Dark Angels)|Unrelenting Fury]] being able to bombard Ork forces that were heading straight for them. However, shortly before the Orks arrival the ship was called away by [[Azrael]], forcing a rapid change of the plan{{Fn|7a}}. Lazarus was forced to have the company perform a fighting retreat. During the battle he saw [[Space Marine Lieutenant|Lieutenant]] [[Amad]] killed right in front of him by an Ork [[Weirdboy]].{{Fn|7b}} Despite heavy losses they were able to beat the Orks in the end.{{Fn|7c}}
After the Battle Lazarus was furious at Azrael for calling away the battle barge, leading to his heavy losses. When he returned to [[The Rock]] Lazarus met with [[Azrael]], who confirmed that Unrelenting Fury left the battle to hunt [[The Fallen]] but was unsuccessful. As the conversation got more tense Lazarus told Azrael the story of the Doom of Droslin, how the knights fought a battle they knew they would die in, and as a result weren't around later to help other knightly orders finally kill the beast. He told Azrael that he saw the Dark Angels in that story, how their oath to destroy the fallen is an obsession that has the power to distract, distort and destroy them. Angered, Azrael accused Lazarus of speaking madness because he [[Rubicon Primaris| crossed the rubicon]]. Lazarus stated that it was not madness, and that the Dark Angels were afraid everyone would know they were human and flawed. Azrael then picked him up by the armor armour and told him that they knew no fear, that there would be no change in how they operate, and that The Fallen would always be their first priority. Lazarus said that he understood and would carry out his will, then left the meeting.{{Fn|7c}}
