Instead, the traitors did not breach the gate, and had to flee or be destroyed to a man by the Imperial Reinforcements- Wolves, Ultras, possibly a few loyalist Dark Angels. Hilariously, if Pert had stayed to fight instead of pursuing his vendetta, they might have broken through the Eternity gate and bagged the Emperor. Perturabo and his Iron Warriors thought that their job had been done, and the Primarch left the battle for the Inner Palace to instead direct a siege against the Imperial Fists Fortress Monastery nearby. After inflicting horrendous casualties on the traitor forces, so much so that the Chaos Titans could no longer continue to advance, the Custodes would fall back to the final defensive line around the Imperial Palace, the Eternity Gate, manned by the Blood Angels and their Primarch Sanguinius. In addition traitor numbers were too great and even the Custodes were overwhelmed. However in the end, the Titans of the Legio Mortis proved decisive in a traitor breakthrough. The Adeptus Custodes made a fierce counterattack at the inner gardens of such brutal efficiency that none of the traitor horde could initially stand against them. Moreover, the inner sanctum of the palace had been heavily reinforced and in the enclosed spaces Traitor titans and heavy war engines became easy prey for the well-prepared loyalists. A massive labyrinth of hallways, complexes, courtyards, and buildings, fighting in the outer palace was room-to-room and saw heavy casualties inflicted on the Traitors. The walls of the Emperor's Palace finally broke, unleashing a flood of traitors into the inner courtyards of the Palace. Perturabo combined an underground assault in tunneler drills with a pinpoint Chaos titan Macrocannon bombardment.
