Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 73 The army gathers
"I need the Linguang family to dispatch at least three cavalrymen and no less than ten attendants to join this operation." Chen Xi faced Mainna and told him his request.

Hearing Chen Xi's request, Ma Enna frowned slightly at first, but then relaxed.

He frowned because the Linguang family had already mobilized most of their combat power by sending out three cavalrymen, and he relaxed because although Chen Xi's demands on the Linguang family were still not equal to what he gave to the Linguang family, at least in Mainna's view, the Linguang family could repay this gift instead of just asking for it.

So, Maenna nodded happily and said, "I will personally lead Margaret and Zofia in this operation, and the retainers of the Linguang family will also bravely win the honor that belongs to them in this operation."

Chen Xi was very satisfied with Maenna's attitude. He nodded slightly and continued, "I know that the Linguang Family has not recovered yet. The three knight mechas are still just a drop in the bucket for the Linguang Family's revival. I should give you more time to recover.

But right now, there is a potential threat that is like a thorn in my throat. I have to order the Linguang family to devote most of their combat power to this operation, because it may be related to the survival of the entire Rostov II.

If we can successfully complete this operation, I will later present seven more knights as a reward for the Linguang family's response to this action.

But if our actions fail..."

Chen Xi paused here. Seeing that Mainna didn't show any joy about the seven knights he promised, he continued, "The entire Rostov II may no longer exist."

Although speaking clearly is often dangerous in the Warhammer world, Chen Xi does not intend to be a riddler when it comes to exploring the Tomb of the Dead.

After all, as Hammer Man, Chen Xi knew clearly that many of the troubles in the empire were caused by people not speaking human language.

While confidentiality is indeed required when it comes to matters involving Chaos and the like, the Necrons happen to be the only purely physical race in the entire galaxy, so there's really no need to be a riddler with them.

"So serious?" Mainna raised her eyebrows. Although she had some expectations about this task, she didn't expect it to be so serious.

The Linguang family has already lost its territory once, and now they have finally found a place to live. Are they going to be displaced again in the blink of an eye?

"There's an alien relic beneath this planet. If we can successfully dismantle it, there won't be any problems, and we'll also be able to reap a lot." Chen Xi looked at Maenna and explained the details of this mission to him: "This is an alien civilization called the Necrons. When they were active in the galaxy, humans probably hadn't even evolved into monkeys yet.

Sixty million years ago, they competed with the Eldar for the position of galactic overlord. The Eldar were the losers. Only after all the Necrons fell into a deep sleep did the Eldar establish the Ancient Eldar Empire.

The planet we are on is one of the planets where the Necrons once slept.

Mr. Mainna, imagine what the scene would be like when you return home from a trip and find that your family’s territory, castle and everything have been occupied by a group of serfs, and they want to dig up your ancestors’ coffins.

What we have to do is similar to this, completely dig up the tombs of those aliens and let them fall into an eternal sleep and never wake up again."

Chen Xi successfully aroused Mainna's emotions with just a description. He already clearly understood what they were going to do and what kind of dangers and difficulties they would face.

However, for the knights of the Linguang family, this wasn't an unbearable task. "The Linguang family motto is 'Fear not hardship and darkness.' Although the family is now in decline, the knights of the Linguang family will continue to respond to the call of the Empire, as always." Ma Enna looked at Chen Xi sternly and said firmly.

The huge Hero Lord Knight is like a moving castle, and its silver-white paint seems to turn gold in the afterglow of the setting sun.

On his side were two patrol knights of the same color scheme, except that one was equipped with a rapid-fire cannon and a Death Chainsword, while the other was equipped with a pulse laser cannon and a Thunder Fist Armor.

A large number of knight attendants were scattered in groups of two around the three knights, advancing in a search formation.

The Overlord Knight is so huge that it is even close to the reconnaissance war dog-class Titan. Every step it takes can make the earth tremble.

Sitting upright on his iron throne, feeling the emotions of his family's ancestors coming from the throne, Mainna couldn't help but sigh. It had been a long time since the family last marched in such a formation.

Although the Linguang family lived up to the title of Imperial Knights when the family territory fell, and fought the Tyranid swarm almost to the last soldier, the fall of the family territory is still an unquestionable fact.

Since then, the Linguang family has been living a life of displacement, and the people in their territory have been living in strange metal "cages" that they will never touch in their lifetime.

Their lords all died in the war to protect them, leaving only Mainna, who was responsible for reviving the family, the two daughters of the previous Supreme King of the family, and a knight from a branch of the family.

This undoubtedly means that the Linguang family has not put out a decent lineup to participate in a war for a long time.

Although the opportunity is not very good this time, it can also be regarded as a signal that the Linguang family is returning to the battlefield.

But this return was still somewhat shabby, which made Mainna almost sigh with regret.

However, with one Dominant Knight, two Patrol Knights, and ten Servant Mechas, this amount of troops can be considered impressive.

"Please inform the Governor that three riders and ten attendants from the Linguang family are coming to support us." Mainna's voice was transmitted through the sound array system.

He then received a reply: "Welcome, Regent of the Linguang Family, and two beautiful female knights. Please proceed to my command post, where I will explain the details of this mission in detail to you and the other participating troops."

"Maenna received it. I will continue to move forward." In the Dominant Knight, Maenna responded to the order issued by Chen Xi through the sound array, and then ordered the knights and servants under his command to gather together and march in a line to the camp arranged for them by Chen Xi.

After all the knights were parked properly, Mainna brought Margaret to Chen Xi's command center.

In the command center, the Mechanical Sage, the Battle Sisters, the Defense Generals and the Astartes were all present. Such a large scale of the event made Mainna shudder.
