Apparently, others had broken when he had been struck down. Nox was on the one hand surprised and on the other not but he needed to regain control of the situation before it all collapsed. Slamming his hand against his helmet without grace, his comm connected to the strike leaders and men in the assault, "This is your Alor. I am alive and if any of you retreat, I'll find you myself. Follow the original plan and they will shatter." Quickly, word spread through the lines, and warriors would return back in droves, the two Solus able to see the growing number of Crusaders above them as another crimson cloud formed.
Once more, Aria reminded him of someone waiting for him but he just ignored it with a shake of his head. Nox had gotten into this situation because he had been reminded of her and he didn't need to be distracted anymore by that puzzle. Before he could get too far, a hand was placed on his shoulder before pushing him back against the wall. It would have been typical for him to resist but nothing came as she was allowed to fix whatever she could as he regained his thoughts. The assault had hit a speedbump, specifically him and he couldn't wrap his mind around how he let it happen.
After she fixed a couple of plates, his gratitude was expressed with a slow shake of his head. A voice in the comm interrupted any further conversation as they were informed of the AA guns in the west falling. Hearing her shock, a silent smirk cracked underneath his helmet, "You look surprised." She had served on numerous missions with good results before. Aria responded with a fist to his chest, earning a grunt from him in slight pain.
Before she departed, he spoke again, "Keep pressing the attack from the west. I'll collect some forces and attack from the east. We converge on the middle." Nox did appreciate the patchwork from her and would have accompanied but there was another flank to worry about. Without wasting much time, his jetpack was activated as he took to the air, stars flashing across his eyes for a moment from the pain. He straightened out in the air once the pain subsided before hitting his comm and spoke to those in close proximity, a simple order, "On me." Squads of crusaders would fly in, forming around him as they began to angle their path towards the guns.
