Chapter 11

As Sister Drathin turned around, she saw the third daughter of house Drathaen. Enveloped in golden light and a visible golden light transparent shield.

The first word in her mind was that she was a Saint, subconsciously she had walked closer to the Saint reached out her hand when suddenly.

Just as it touched with the shield, a golden flame quickly burned through her flesh. Her eyes forcibly bore witness to words her soul could hardly contain.

Whether it'd be luck or as a warning, she had survived thousand remained lost in her mind for several weeks muttering.

" I am Unworthy "

Over and over again with no end in sight, the third Daughter armed with the relic not only helped the sisters after they had pledge full loyalty to her.

But also united the great houses once more, trying to lead them into an age like before the Imperium of man had found them

Yet, all was not in peace as they now faced a far greater threat that would test their new resolves.

Lost Tyranid ships had been spotted in the system and landed in it, unleashing hordes of tyranid swarms to devour all in their path.

Most information has been lost on what happened during this time apart from very few things.

It is said that the Tyranids were completely destroyed and that the Saint known as simply the third daughter of house Drathaen was killed.

House Ravena was lost along with House Erignac, remnants were joined together and formed a new House known as House Drath.

Strict rules and regulations was enforced, massive prisons were built to contain said obstructers of the order built.

The Sister's of battle became so intertwined with this house that they were regarded as one with it.

It's regiments built traditions and training games in order to keep up in their ever present duty of protecting the Drath system.

1 of the hive cities we're lost and all but 6 of the dozens of cities had been destroyed either due to the war or the Tyranid little invasion.

Only 2 other saints had ever been chosen after the third daughter of House Drathaen, which allowed them to approach the relic and wield it's powers.

Yet now it remains so closely watched and guarded, awaiting for a sign of a new Saint.....a new leader.

8888-5678-3456-69Krieg had been placed in a Grenadier squad and transferred to the 2nd company of the 1st battalion of the 189th mechanized infantry regiment of the Death Korp of Krieg.

They had conducted new Drills in order to better induct 8888-5678-3456-69krieg into the squad, he got new wargear and a change in weaponary.

He was now equipped with a krieg pattern Hellgun, ways to maintain it and such. 8888-5678-3456-69krieg had little time to see 8888-5678-3456-67krieg whom was now an aid to a Quartermaster.

More drills and patrolling of the ship were done by 8888-5678-3456-69krieg's squad until they had reached their destination.

They were debriefed on their objectives and mission as there would be a large naval assault landing done by the 189th krieg mechanized infantry regiment.

They were to establish a beach head for more troops whilst establishing a series of trenches to prevent any one from escaping the city.

Once sufficient numbers have been landed, they would begin moving into the city to wipe out the heretics and traitors until the city was retaking.

No artillery support for them though as the assault mainly depended on infantry. Part of the walls would be blown up to better allow troops to move in.

Troops were loaded into transports as they headed unto the planets, thousands of Krieg soldiers marching and loading into Gorgon transports once on ground.

The enemy was already established so they would take losses upon approaching the beach head but it was deemed necessary.

8888-5678-3456-69krieg's squad was the first grenadier squad to load into their Gorgon transport, 5 squads were fitted into it with barely enough space for maneuvering.

Once they had all been loaded in, the transport sealed up and then waited. Silence descended into the ranks of the standing grenadiers for what seemed like an hour before finally the attack order was given.

Hundreds of transport begin turning on their engines and then moving out, the terrain proved to be smooth for a while.

With the Gorgon having little to no shaking and rick-rocketing, the journey proved quick and quiet.

When suddenly the sounds of water clashing against a transport which had landed upon it filled the Guardsmen ears.

They all knew they were now in enemy territory, the forefront transports were filled with Grenadier squads whom would take point before other normal infantries arrived.

The sound of engine and waves of water hitting against the vehicles formed some sort of soothing sound.

Like a last peace of mind before one was sent to their grave, silent and peaceful yet the guardsmen stood stern and awaited their deaths.

The journey should be a few minutes out for the transports as soon incoming enemy fire would welcome them.

Except, the sound of a transport blowing up and exploding as smoke signalled it's end for others to see.

The enemy had come to them with amphibian assault vehicles of the own, the Gorgons were awfully easy pickings to these heretics.

With nothing more than two twin stubbed mounted unto it for it's defense meant more for anti infantry rather than anti-armour.

Quickly more explosions followed suit as more transport met the unfortunate end of their journey. It would seem however that the Death Korps of Krieg had taken this into account as well.

The Gorgons quickly returned fire from their alternate weapons as soon the waters were now filled with sounds of exchanging fire between two opponents.

More explosions were heard as soon the transports reached their destination, quickly lowering their ramps for the now ready soldiers to begin moving out.

There were however greeting by intense gunfire from the enemy as several were gunned down in mere seconds.

Still they pushed out aggressively, the Death korps of kreig would soon find out however that the enemy were more than prepared for them.

8888-5678-3456-69krieg's transport reached the intended drop position but rather than lower it's ramp, it drove further into the area.

Just like several others, the Gorgon protected it's passengers from the enormous amount of gun fire which welcomed them.

Explosions soon resounded throughout the battlefield as bodies were shattered and quickly began reddening the spoil.

Mines were set of as the Corpsmen had little time and space to better maneuver around them with the hail of bullets and gunfire.

As such many fell to the amateurish placed mines, this however allowed those behind to further advance and get ever closer to the trenches of the enemy.

8888-5678-3456-69krieg's transport soon stopped and then lowered it's ramp. The first Grenadier squad was quickly gunned down, the second however made it out farther and began firing back.

3rd squad moved even deeper and so did the 4th and lastly 5th squad. The optic on the hellgun issued to the grenadiers allowed them to hit far off targets.

More and more squads were arriving as well as pushing, the Mass body of troops ran in what seemed like an organized formation with grenadier squads at its head.

No communication was done between them but it was done perfectly, quickly they approached the trench lines of the enemy and then these formations joined together and began closing in faster.

8888-5678-3456-69krieg lined his sight with his optic, a shot was fired birthing a whole in a helmetless traitor.

Without stop he turned and fired again killing another whom was struggling with a krieg soldier.

He turned his sight to the screaming melee holding heretics charging their now overrun trench lines from the city.

He switched his weapon to full auto and began firing into the mass of people, quickly screams and groans filled the air.

In mere seconds an organized line of fire began gunning the fools that dared charge them.

More Kriegsmen pushed deeper, climbing over the trench lines and quickly counter charging the enemy.

8888-5678-3456-69krieg's squad led by their watchmaster focused on clearing the trench lines, the two and the fore front had the blades in hand.

8888-5678-3456-69krieg was one of them, his gun raised and bayonet in hand. He soon approached a corner, his comrade took point and went in first.

A scream was heard as 8888-5678-3456-69krieg moved in, the owner of the scream was already dead with a bayonet in his neck.

More came as two wielded guns and tried to shoot them, he fired and killed one with a headshot as he fell on his back.

Quickly turning he fired once more and so did the enemy, he shot only grazed the enemy on his shoulder.

In return the Traitor had gun down one of his comrades and one of 8888-5678-3456-69krieg squadmates.

Though that gave him ampute time to steady his gun and kill the Traitor, his comrades body seemed unmoving and the rest of the squad was already moving ahead.

The long part now reached a dead end, which the grenadier squad simply climbed over and charged the next trench line.
