The wall expands into foam, pushing everyone backwards, and hopefully giving Halycone time to finish moving objects.

well, a cubic foot of foam weighs about 3 lbs. With a 30 ton budget... that's 60,000 lbs, and 20,000 cubic feet, for about 2,000 square yards, and with the main "outer" tunnels with a 10 square yard cross-section...I think you can fill the temple, if you have the time.

ok, fixing the math errors here... 20,000 cubic feet goes to 750
cubic yards, not 2,000 square yards. V can still fill up 75 yards of hall, which is enough to reach the outside of the temple.
Two techniques to get through are attempted, one on each side. On one side, two immortals slice with swords, trying to clear a path through the foam. Behind them, men quickly scrape and carry away the foam fragments. They start almost instantly. They need to make at least one foot per seven seconds. It initially looks close, but as they make more progress, it becomes apparent that they won't make it in time. Though they will cut a channel at least half-way to the their target.
On the other side, someone has dug up some riot shields and they start firing missiles from the other side.
They have some trouble figuring out the right missiles. Shaped charge missiles make deep holes in the wall, and compress it a little, but don't actually flake that much off of it. High explosive behaves similarly, but without the resulting small hole. They mostly ran and got shaped charges, because they were expecting a metal wall. Someone points out that they need armor piercing explosive charges... but they waste too much time figuring it out. A number of missiles are sent in, but they ultimately make less progress than the immortals.
With a grinding scrape, the last stone slides into place.
Holomaximus appears "He's back. Now we have to explain what's going on..."
Another image of Maximus appears: "Yes, You need to explain yourselves."
Vassarious needs to make a roll to determine consciousness... the dragon took about one HP worth of damage from the immortals and missiles.
