Resurgence Taurian Concordat Chapter 8 Epilogue

== Awaiting the Sword ==
Protector Doru looked over his reports.  Satellite views gave him images of what took place. He had already consolidated his forces between Taurus and the Pleiades Cluster, his struggle now was seeing if he should try to call back some of those forces.  If they couldn’t hold Taurus that would be a stronghold to fall back to.  If they could hold for now, would those troops arrive in time to help?  Be caught on their own and get slaughtered?
However the Blakists arrived with a technology that the Taurians did not possess, not yet.  He was thoroughly impressed with the defense mounted by Marshal Collins at the Gateway.  That Word of Blake fleet was massive.  While she was able to keep the majority of the Taurian naval assets alive, many were damaged and there were still two more Blakist formations. 
The planetary defenses were constantly being reinforced and were at the peak of preparation both in orbit and on the ground. The best chance they had was to be able to take each fleet individually.  There was no telling how many forces the Blakists could recover from the Gateway, however, that debris field would slow them down.  He issued the orders for Marshal Collins to push the Blakist insertion fleet to Taurus at best speed.  He looked out his office window, seeing the skull of his Atlas, ready to deal with this threat himself.
