Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 41 Saleh Dynasty

"Ahem, that's true, but it shouldn't have anything to do with those four people, right?" Mai Mai also knew what Chen Xi was talking about, but he still felt that it might just be a psychological factor.

But Chen Xi shook his head and said, "Even if that's not the case, we can't be careless. Who knows if something will really pop up? Once the Great Rift opens, anything can happen, right?"

"That's true. Then what should we do?" Everyone present was an expert, and they knew a little about numerology, so they naturally paid more attention to this issue.

After all, the Warhammer world is a place where you can worship a warp entity if you believe in a certain political system, so it is better to believe in things like the Holy Numbers of Chaos.

"Blow up a mineral planet and turn it into minerals directly." Guterres proposed a rather radical strategy.

"I'm afraid it can't be blown up. When we were scanning the Rostov galaxy, we saw a black stone obelisk array on one of the planets, and this..." Dusk placed a projector on the table and projected two patterns composed of circles and lines.

There are two patterns, one large and one small, and you can see that the smaller one is obviously subordinate to the larger one.

"The Emperor's basket! Is this the Saleh Dynasty?" Chen Xi felt like he had won the jackpot.

"I'm not familiar with the Underpants Dragon. Which dynasty is this emblem from?" Mai Mai looked at the emblem and asked Chen Xi and Guterres curiously.

Among the four, two of them have played Necrons and are relatively familiar with this aspect.

"This is the Salekh Dynasty, the most powerful dynasty among the Necrons. If we really dig out this dynasty..." Chen Xi considered his words, but finally said helplessly: "Let me put it this way, although the Necrons are composed of thousands of dynasties, large and small, they have an organization that leads all dynasties called the Triarchal Council, which is composed of the emperors of the three dynasties.

The three are not equal. One of them has a higher status than the other two and is called the King of Silence.

Throughout the Necrons' past, the Silent Kings have always been the Hierophants of the Salekh dynasty, including the last Silent King, Szalak, the one who cost 420 points and was larger than an Imperial Knight.

(The stick hanging on the shelf at the back is the Star God fragment, and the cloak on the Silent King is made of the Star God's skin)
"Doesn't that mean we are sitting on a barrel of explosives?" When Mu Se heard Chen Xi say this, he suddenly felt his scalp tingling.

"That's not the case. See this small emblem? It indicates we're dealing with a small dynasty subordinate to the Saleh Dynasty. We won't need to dig up their graves and summon the Silent King." Guterres tried to soothe Dusk, but he still spoke seriously, "However, we must be more cautious in excavating the undead tombs. It would be best if we could bring an expeditionary force, otherwise the problem could be very serious."

"Are Necrons really that dangerous? I saw that your winning rate when playing Underpants Dragon at the table before was just so-so!" Mai Mai was a little confused and asked Chen Xi curiously.

In response, Chen Xi simply spread his hands and motioned Guterres to answer the question.

"The gap between tabletop combat and real-world combat is enormous. According to the rules, a single Fart can kill a Custodian, but in reality, even a Warboss would struggle to defeat one." Guterres didn't elaborate further, simply telling Maimai and Dusk, "Regarding the strength of the Necrons, I'll just say one thing. The only time Kai Xiaobao ever suffered a defeat was when he went tomb raiding with a reckless sage of the Mechanicum. He lost two fingers that time." Commissar Caiaphas Cain, one of the three Chosen Commissars of the Empire, once defeated an Ork Warlord in a single battle and then faced two Chaos Space Marines. Later, he faced two Hive Tyrants! He even injured them before reinforcements arrived!
His other achievements include: with the help of Eugen, he defeated the Demon Princess - a female Demon Prince, defeated Genestealers in close combat - one of which could kill two Word Bearers and seriously injure a third in seconds, and fought against a thief clan leader.

(Brother Yunlong is also one of the most romantically active characters in the entire 40K series, dating a curvaceous Inquisitor, a generous daughter of a Star Governor, and a stunningly beautiful female Tech Priest, among others.)
However, even someone as lucky as Kai Xiaobao suffered a great loss when he followed a Mechanicus sage to explore the graves of the undead. He also received the most serious injury in his life and lost two fingers.

So, it's never a good idea to touch a Necron grave.

If it's a small dynasty, it's easy to do. Find a local forge world, recruit a few Crusaders from Hongzhi, call on the Titan Legion and the Knight Family, and take out all the treasures hidden in the bottom of the box of the oil guys. Then it won't be a big problem to establish a small dynasty.

But if they were to encounter some great dynasty...even the entire strike group of the Indomitable Crusade might not be able to defeat a Undead Dynasty.

After all, if they could have done it, the empire wouldn't have suffered such a huge setback in the Soul-Exorcising Dead Zone.

"It seems we must be more cautious about digging graves." Chen Xi looked at Guterres and asked him, "Can you apply to build a new Watch Fortress using your status as a Forging Master?"

"Of course, we can. The identities given to us by the Emperor are all legal ones with official endorsement. But..." Guterres seemed a little hesitant about this request: "Applying to build a watch fortress is not a small matter. Even if we can apply to build a watch fortress, it cannot be built in a short time.

In contrast, I suggest requesting a kill team. A Deathwatch kill team would be of great help in the situation we are currently facing."

The kill team that Guterres mentioned is not the kill team in tabletop combat, but a type of Death Watch, which is also the origin of the word kill team.

After Roboute Guilliman's splitting of the Legions following the Heresy, the Space Marines have operated within the Imperium in Chapters numbering a thousand strong, but these are often overwhelmed by their responsibilities and cannot deploy the large numbers of Space Marines required for the Great Crusade.

So normally, Space Marines would perform various missions in squads of five to ten people, and the Deathwatch's kill squad was one such organized mission squad.

Judging from the current situation, if a team of Space Marines were deployed on the Rostov II, it would indeed be able to solve most of the problems faced by Chen Xi and his team.

But given the current situation on Rostov II, deploying a squadron of Space Marines would be a huge waste.

It may be harsh to say this, but the Rostov II isn't worth deploying Space Marines into until the Necromancers beneath its feet are fully awakened.
