The surface of the planet shakes and moves as necrons emerge from the subsurface replenishing their undying ranks . This war had become one of attrition months ago which is a shame for the xenos filth since this is where kriegsman exceed in.Not to diminish the cadians stalwart effort in pushing back the horde but this is where we shine amongst the emperors imperium. The xenos have been getting desperate lately more so than the past 11 years they have been digging trying to surprise us in our trenches.

I dig My shovel into the ground dislodging more soil, my regiment has been tasked with creating a fake trench for the xenos to dig into further from the line.

The tunnel is nearly complete I gesture towards a leuitent Holt from the previous cadian regiment who stayed. She slings off her bag and takes out the explosive charges she begins to walk along the walkway two kriegsmen Saltz and Henrich follow behind silently. Lasgun in hand I begin walking towards a pile of rubble thats covered in a thick layer of soot i wipe some of it off with my gloved hand.

They emerge with the detonator primed in hand. for the next couple of hours we waited ready

the sound of metal moving is coming from within the walls

i hold up my hand in a fist a signal for the three of them to hold still

hollow eyes and lasgun sights looked towards the line angsty for combat the cadians finger hovered over the trigger

glowing green lit up the dark

i moved my hand down *click*

a shockwave from the explosion throws upwards xenos sending them into the sky.

A surviving scorched skorpekh destroyer scuttles towards them slashing its way towards them

i aim my lasgun towards the thing and join the lasgun fire

It crosses the field in minutes its carapace only smeared by the shots. it cleaves the air

cutting Heinrich's shoulders from the rest of his body which slumps against the wall sizzling green.

Grabing the strap on saltz bag to pull him away from the next attack

saltz unhooks a krak grenade and charges the destroyah pulling the pin and jumping to shove it into the chest

successful but sliced into two loaves each piece falling on either side of its path towards us his sizzling innards.

Hauling myself over the wall the cadian following behind me we seeked to gain distance before it gets too close

the blast richoted its chest armour rupturing, its lights begin to flicker

i fire shots at it hoping to end its existence sooner

something within its chest glows and expands engulfing my vision in a total white out.
