Chapter 12

The heretics fought back fiercely but were unable to halt the advance of the Death Korps of krieg, hundreds upon hundreds had died.

Thousands more replaced them and with even more aggression, the trench lines were quickly taken. No one was spared, no one was allowed to retreat.

They pushed ever more deeper until they reached the city walls, detonator charges were placed and soon large and numerous holes in the walls were created.

Enough to fit two body sized humans were formed and through it came several more masked troops. They gunned down any in their way but here was were the traitors were much suited to fight.

Mass crazed melee wielding cultists charged the krieg troops, most were leaded by lightly armoured humans were heretical drawings on their clothing and body.

They doned red clothing with red weaponary, as expected they were met with more fire from the kriegsmen.

However gun fire from the building began firing at the kriegs, quickly claiming their lives.

8888-5678-3456-69krieg found himself having to fight enemies charging at him and shooting at him from above.

As he stabbed another heretic, silencing their loud screams. He quickly looked up lining his optic as he saw several bodies in the building.

He fired into it, unable to confirm his shots but suppressed them long enough for more kriegsmen to push inside.

By mere luck, a cultists had shot at him several times but only able to score hits at his upper right shoulder and lower leg.

8888-5678-3456-69krieg quickly turned and killed the shooter but in his dark lenses, he saw even more gunners arriving.

Looking around, he saw...none of his squad. Most had been gunned down during the charge to here but his last squadmate got butchered by an axe wielding cultists.

He turned, his eyes focusing and looking for some sort of cover and quickly headed for it.

Ducking behind the wall of a building, he looked out of it only to be suppressed by solid ammunition bullets by the traitors.

He quickly sat down and put his gun beside him, withing arms reach and removed his backpack.

Intent on treating his wounds, all other krieg forces were soon adapting to the new war zone. Taking cover were they could rather than charging into the kill box that had now formed.

Most focused on killing those in the buildings as they were picking them off and preventing them from properly killing the ones opposite them.

The initial assault had halted as krieg forces entered heavy fighting in the city, every building and every street containing traitors just waiting.

Close combat fighting had become common as assaults from the enemy occasionally caught with krieg forces.

At times maddened craved berserkers took up to a squad of kriegsmen before being killed off.

8888-5678-3456-69krieg had taken command of a squad of infantry troops whom had lost their watchmaster.

Being the highest ranking person there, command of the squad was given to him and so he led them.

In the dark sky of the planet Drath, in the city under heavy assault from krieg forces. The night was brightened from gunfire and danced in sync with the screams of either the dying or would soon be dead.

8888-5678-3456-69krieg is seen leading a now depleted squad, from behind the building. They were behind suppressed by traitors opposite them whom prevented their advance and clearing of the building.

Using hand signs universal in the Death Korps of krieg, a set of action was discussed and soon prepared to be executed.

They waited, each already prepared to take their position awaiting their squad commander signal and it came.

One of them quickly ran out and the squad commander came out of cover and shot at their enemy, another had knelt beside him and was suppressing them too.

Another armed with a Frag grenade threw it a the enemy and in a few seconds. Screams were heard from it, the krieger whom ran ahead equipped with his bayonet on his lasgun.

Approacheded the enemy and quickly revealed himself, with no time to waste he shot once, killing a suprised heretic and without stop.

Charged another, impaling them with a sharp blade to their neck. A gurgling sound was heard from the Traitor whom quickly was left to his fate as the kriegman withdraw and shot the other two still breathing.

Quickly ending them, back to the squad. Another grenade was thrown into the building. Then a kriegsman wielding a flamer moved in and burned his way unto the top.

Smoke and screams as well as the smell of burning flesh soon filled the building. A traitor seemingly trying to quench the Flames fell out of the building with screams and struggled around on the ground.

One of the trooper under 8888-5678-3456-69krieg impaled him shortly after, not before letting his screams dance through the air.

Rather than wait around or move ahead, they quickly divided up, with two going on top the building.

Another joining the kriegsman whom had charge the enemy. The flamer went ahead and hid behind a wall at the front of the building.

Hidden from anyone approaching from inside the city. Another went towards the opposite building, one on the same line as the original building they had taken cover behind.

Whilst 8888-5678-3456-69krieg stayed where he was, no sound was uttered as they simply waited.

A minute passed by and then another and then another but the kriegsmen simply stayed still.

Then the sounds of running footsteps reached the ears of the Kriegsmen, quickly they all held their breaths as the sounds from their mask ceased to exist.

Leaning harder against the wall, 8888-5678-3456-69krieg tried listening even more, to the incoming enemies.

The sounds of footsteps became louder and closer and soon heretics came into sights.

Red garbed cultists most armed with melee weapon and screaming through their lungs and into their air.

" Blood for the blood God "

" Scarifices for the great God's "

" Skull for the Skull throne. "

They charged into where the kriegmen stayed await, not seeming to stop any time soon. They kept going until the head of one of them came into sight of Squad 8's leader.

8888-5678-3456-69krieg took the shot, bursting the head of the cultists as blood and body parts shot out everywhere.

Before the headless body could even reach the ground, the rest of the squad quickly began firing.

Some of the cultists smiled as they attempted to charge them but were quickly gunned down.

From behind them a red hot gas quickly covered them as screams filled the night, those caught in the trap were gone in seconds but it would seem more of them had arrived than normal.

Seeing the rest of their comrades gunned down and burned did not deter them as they charged with blood crazed madness and glee.

The flame holding Kriegsman was caught by suprised, in an attempt to quickly fight back he turned his flamer unto the incoming enemy quickly stopping them.

Yet, an unfortunate event happened as the flamer suddenly stopped flaming. It was out of fuel and this gave the cultists enough time to charge at the defenseless krieger.

From his lenses he saw a large axe coming down unto his head, with no time to react properly.

He raised his weapon to block it, yet the strike never came as his squad commander quickly killed the cultists with pin point accuracy.

Yet when 8888-5678-3456-69krieg attempted another shot, a clicking dried sound reached his ears.

He was out of ammunition, quickly he dropped his weapon and equipped his bayonet already charging into the enemy.

The flame holding krieger attempted the same but received an axe to his neck quickly ending his life.

The other krieger equipped with a bayonet on his weapon followed suit along with the person with him.

The other two in the building shot from above into the enemy and soon a close brawl had commenced.

Within seconds of closing in squad 8's command already dodged a strike from an axe and rewarded its owner with a blade to his neck.

Quickly withdrawing it, another attack aimed from his head came once more.

His lowered his body and charged, using his arm to stop the axe from completing it's journey by holding it from it's handle.

He stabbed the owner on the waist and a small scream escaped her mouth though she smiled in return and increased the force on her axe.

A shot from over head, passed her neck but the second found its way to her head quickly ending her joyous combat.

Without stopping more came and were met with similar fates and soon were all but killed off.
