Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 32 Arrangement of Identity
"So you are now a planetary governor and inquisitor, but there is a tomb of the dead buried under the planet, and the only troops available are ten regiments of PDF?" The three listened to Chen Xi's introduction, and Mu Se's face looked as if he was constipated as he confirmed with Chen Xi.

Ten regiments of PDFs sounds like a lot, but using them to fight the Necrons? Sorry, they probably wouldn't last even three days before being wiped out.

Note that not all ten groups of PDFs were killed, but the entire planet was killed by the Necrons within three days.

In the official plot, after the Great Rift opened, this group of metal ribs deployed an energy field called the Soul-Exorcising Death Zone in the Nephilim sector of the Empire. In the area covered by this negatively polarized black stone energy field, all souls will be torn apart.

The malevolent energy radiating from the Exorcist Dead Zone is gradually transmitted through the network of black stone obelisks, and will eventually cover the entire galaxy in energy powerful enough to crush the soul.

In short, this group of metal chops launched a plan to exterminate all soul-bearing life in the entire galaxy.

For the Necrons, this is just a big plan that takes them some time to implement. Compared with the cruel things the Necrons have done in the past, it is nothing.

After all, the Cadian Gate, which the Empire relied on to block the Great Rift, was actually part of the array of black stone obelisks left behind by the Necrons.

It is through the power of the Blackstone Obelisk that Cadia is able to act like a floodgate, blocking the warp energy pouring out of the Eye of Terror.

The Necrons, on the other hand, simply activated the array of black stone obelisks that once spread across the galaxy, activating one of its true uses, and were able to kill all life with souls in the galaxy.

If Cadia had not been destroyed by Abaddon, and many of the Blackstone Obelisk Arrays had not been destroyed as well, the Empire would probably have found it difficult to withstand the Necrons' plan to exorcise the dead zone.

Although what was buried underground in Rostov II might not be so dangerous, it was still not something that ten PDF infantry regiments could deal with.

This is an enemy that needs Space Marines, Battle Sisters and Knight Families to deal with head-on. At the very least, Skitarii and Astra Militarum are needed. The Planetary Defense Force is really not enough.

"That's the case for now, but I've already started organizing a group of combat nuns. I expect the monastery to be built within three to five years, and then we can train bomb girls in batches." Chen Xi didn't think anything of the current situation. He just spread his hands and said, "I've already checked down there. Pai Gu is still asleep. Although I disturbed them a little, they shouldn't have woken up.

The main problem now is to deal with the skinners that have spread into the city sewers. Everyone knows how dangerous this thing is. "

"By the way, there are no robot servants in your sewer, right?" The shop owner confirmed with Chen Xi, his expression very serious.

"Don't worry, I've had the Palace Minister confirm that there aren't any servitors or robots in the sewers." Chen Xi understood what the shop owner was talking about. The Skinning Curse wasn't just spreading among the Necrons. Officially published novels clearly recorded servitors being infected with the Skinning Curse. "But because the Skinning Curse had already invaded the city before I crossed over, I'm not sure how many there are now.

They've already killed quite a few people, and I have no information on whether any of them have been taken away for bio-transformation." "Have you called in the Space Marines?" Mai Mai asked nervously. He didn't want to be drafted in as a filler just after crossing into the Warhammer world.

"Not yet. After all, I just discovered this, and judging from the report from the Palace Prime Minister, the situation is still under control." Chen Xi certainly wanted to call on Space Marines to solve the problem, but the vast territory of the Empire and the limited number of Space Marines before the opening of the Great Rift meant that even if he called for reinforcements, it would likely take decades or even hundreds of years.

This is already very efficient for the empire. Under normal circumstances, no one might respond for hundreds of years.

"As you said, the situation is indeed under control. So, while the Necrons are important, they're not a top priority." The four people involved in the discussion all had sufficient knowledge of the Warhammer world, so they quickly came to a conclusion: "Right now, the top priority is actually to strengthen our strength. As long as we have soldiers and generals, nothing will be a problem.

But your Mechanicus's sage... she's got a lot of problems! While we all understand that the Mechanicus is just like that, if your interactions with the Mechanicus are influenced or monopolized by her connections, it's going to be a huge problem."

"This is also what I am worried about at the moment. As Dora Kaur's student, Olivia must take back the forge left by Dora Kaur. There might be a group of original cast cans buried underneath! But we also have to have a way to check and balance her, otherwise when she recovers, it will be difficult for us to control her." Chen Xi frankly expressed his biggest worry at the moment.

At present, Ovelia has indeed provided a lot of help to Rostov II, and she will even play an important role in the future.

However, the problems within the Mechanicus camp made it difficult for Chen Xi to have enough trust in Olivia. After all, exploring a tomb could cause a lot of trouble, and it was hard for Chen Xi to believe that she wouldn't cause any other trouble.

Although this is just a common trait among oil men, working with them often requires tolerating their various shortcomings.

But Chen Xi is a time traveler, and a time traveler who can call friends and companions, so naturally he has to find a way to restrain Olivia.

"So we need to introduce countervailing forces, such as Space Marines, the Ecclesiarchy, and other forces that can compete with the Mechanicus." The shop owner summarized Chen Xi's point and then stated, "The native forces of 40K may not impose too many restrictions on the Mechanicus due to the overall situation, but we are different. If we can travel through time as a Mechanical Magus, a Chapter Forge Sergeant, or even a Forge Master, such an exiled heretic Magus can be easily controlled."

"That's exactly what I was saying. Since you can choose your identity when you travel through time, then you should naturally choose one that maximizes your benefits." Chen Xi looked at the three of them expectantly and asked them, "So, what identities do you plan to use?"

"I want to choose a Rogue Trader. There has to be someone to carry bricks and mortar in the territory, right?" Mai Mai was the first to express his opinion. He was not very familiar with the Mechanicus and did not have any chess pieces from the Mechanicus.

"Seventeen, you know me. I have wanted to drive a warship for a long time." Dusk also looked embarrassed. Although he was not unfamiliar with the Mechanicus, he did not have any relevant chess pieces.

Instead, the shop owner nearby said, "I have a master craftsman who made a modified dead watch. I wonder if it can be used?"
