Loyal Souls in the Ruins: The Battle of the 17th Siege Regiment of Krieg
In M41.999, Canossa Prime turned into a scorched ruin, and radiation dust obscured the sky. The 17th Siege Regiment of Krieg was ordered to guard the ruins of the Industrial Plains and block the coalition forces of Chaos Space Marines and Traitors. There are no names in the group, only numbers. Private No. 712 And his comrades dug trenches among the ruins, using corpses as cover. Every step they took was on radiation and blood. The commander ordered: "Don't give in an inch of ground, atone for your sins with death." The chaotic surprise attack came, the artillery fire flew away the reinforced concrete, and the shrapnel tore the air. No. 712 Picked up the laser gun and formed a fire net with his comrades. Every time he pulled the trigger, he was accompanied by the whisper of "The Emperor forgives me." His comrades fell one after another, but he did not take a step back. Blood oozed from his wounds, and he still clung to his position. Reinforcements have not arrived and ammunition is running out. No. 712 Grabbed the blasting tube, rushed towards the enemy group, and detonated thunder in the ruins. His sacrifice bought time for the follow-up defense line. In the end, the 17th Regiment held on to the stronghold at the cost of almost total destruction. Above the ruins, loyal chants penetrated the darkness and became a footnote to the empire's unyielding strength.
