Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 210: Meat Detective
The conversation between Chen Xi and Guterres continued in the conference room, and both of them looked a little solemn.

Despite the massive size of the reinforcements, they still felt immense pressure facing an awakened Necron dynasty.

“So, our current situation is that the Ecclesiarchy, the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the Inquisition are all preparing for this expedition, and we need to stabilize the situation as much as possible before the reinforcements arrive,” Guterres concluded, with a hint of worry in his tone, and at the same time, he felt a mountain of pressure.

Chen Xi nodded and looked out the window, as if he could see the huge reinforcements coming from space through the thick clouds.

He took a deep breath and said slowly, "That's right, although there are many reinforcements, their arrival will take time! We can only buy this time ourselves!

We must ensure the stability and security of Rostov during this period and not allow the Necrons to further encroach upon Imperial territory."

Guterres frowned and asked, "So what should we do next? Although we have repelled the first wave of attacks, the main force of the Undead Dynasty may still be asleep. If they fully awaken, our current strength will not be enough to resist them."

They all knew how terrifying a dynasty of the dead could be. Although they always said that small dynasties were shameful, that was only relative.

For the Necrons who haven't lost their brains, even a small dynasty is enough to crush an imperial world like Chen Xi's eight hundred times.

Chen Xi pondered for a moment, then said, "We need more intelligence! What is the scale and strength of the Undead Dynasty? Has their main force awakened? These are the key issues we need to clarify.

Only with this information can we develop effective defense strategies.”

Guterres nodded in agreement. "Indeed, intelligence is the most critical thing right now. But how do we obtain this intelligence? The tomb world of the Undead Dynasty is not a place that can be entered casually."

Chen Xi thought for a moment and said, "Let Mai Mai and Mu Se go there. They know where the tomb world of the Undead Dynasty is.

Don't bring anyone else with you. If the Gabbro is damaged, I'll repair it for them, but you must get the intelligence thoroughly."

Maimai and Dusk were just pawns themselves and could be resurrected even if they died, and as Gabbro was a frigate, Rostov was now capable of repairing the damage.

So letting them conduct reconnaissance is the option with relatively least loss.

"I think it's okay. Do you want to go with me?" Guterres seemed to want to brave the arrows and stones to investigate the specific situation of the Necrons.

However, Chen Xi shook his head, rejecting his idea. "There are also Astartes reinforcements coming, and you'll need to deal with them. You'll also need to convince them about the Primaris."

"Ah? I go to convince them? Can I really convince them? What if the ones who come are guys like the black orcs whose brains are like stones? Then nothing I say will be of any use?" Guterres looked reluctant. Everyone knew that the sons of Dorne were like their fathers, all with brains made of stones. The black orcs were the most flexible, but they were also equally fanatical and stubborn.

Chen Xi helplessly spread his hands and said, "Who told you to use the Earth Fist? As sons of Dorne, we can still communicate. If they can't convince you, just tell them that the Ash Knight is also a son of Dorne, and has a complete gene seed."

"Fuck? The Knight of Embers is a complete Son of Dorn? If the Fist of the Underworld knew about this, why wouldn't they send the mountain formation over?" They were all Hammermen, so they naturally knew what this meant for the Imperial Fists and the Sons of Dorn. "This is our trump card, don't reveal it easily. Don't reveal it unless absolutely necessary. The consequences will be severe." Chen Xi didn't want this to become public knowledge.

The fact that the Imperial Fists were missing two reconstruction surgeries was no dirty secret, and the Sons of Dorne had never been ashamed of it, but talking about something and actually solving it were two completely different concepts.

"I know the seriousness of the situation, but you should contact Maimai and Muse first and let them go and conduct an investigation." Guterres said that he knew it and asked Chen Xi to contact Maimai and Muse.

They had helped the Knights of Embers fight and evacuate, and had been staying at the foundry on Rostov III ever since. After all, the starport needed to repair the damaged ships, and there was indeed no berth for them.

Chen Xi nodded and immediately contacted Mai Mai and Mu Se through the communicator.

Soon, Mai Mai's voice came from the communicator: "Chen Xi, what's going on?"

Chen Xi briefly explained the situation, then said, "I need you to make a trip. I remember you scouted the Necrons' tomb world before, right? Go there and see if all the Necrons have awakened, or just some."

Mai Mai didn't hesitate and immediately replied, "A group of meat scouts, huh? Okay, I got it. Dusk and I will be heading out right now. But if the boat gets damaged, remember to repair it for us!"

"Don't worry, I'll make it up to you." Chen Xi promised without hesitation.

After hanging up the call, Chen Xi turned to Guterres and continued, "Before Mai Mai and Dusk return, we need to strengthen our defenses. Although we have repelled the first wave of attacks, the army of the Undead Dynasty may come back at any time.

We must rebuild Rostov's defenses, whether it's repairing damaged ships or replenishing troops and equipment, we must hurry."

Guterres nodded in agreement: "I will immediately arrange for the Defense Forces and the Astra Militarum to strengthen the fortifications, and at the same time, let the Battle Sisters and the Astartes remain on high alert.

However, Chen Xi, we still need to consider one question - if the main force of the Undead Dynasty really wakes up, what should we do? You don't really plan to hold on here to the death, do you?

Chen Xi pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "If the Undead Dynasty really awakens, we will definitely not be able to stop it with our current strength. I know that if that time really comes, we will fight to the death and evacuate as many people as possible from the planet!

There is no other way. We cannot stop a fully awakened Necron Dynasty unless reinforcements spawn from Mandeville right now and the Imperial Fists open the mountain formation. Then there might be some hope."

Guterres sighed, clearly feeling helpless about the current situation. "Well, it seems we can only stabilize the situation and wait for reinforcements! I hope Maimai and Dusk can bring back some useful intelligence."

Chen Xi could only sigh at this. He had tried psychic divination before, but it seemed that he had been interfered with by something, and the result was a mess.
