Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 74 The action begins

"This is Count Mainna of the Linguang family. The two people beside him are Baroness Margaret and Lord Zofia. They brought three knight mechas and ten knight attendants, who will accompany us." Seeing Mainna's arrival, Chen Xi introduced him to everyone.

The others also nodded to Mainna and welcomed his arrival.

Ma Enna also bowed to Chen Xi and others, showing good aristocratic etiquette and upbringing.

For the Imperial Knights, all kinds of etiquette and norms are something that has been written into their genes and cannot be violated in the slightest.

But when Mainna saw that the people standing in front of him included the Mechanicus, the Battle Sisters, the Astartes, as well as the Inquisition represented by Chen Xi and the Imperial Knights represented by himself, it could be said that the most powerful departments of the Empire had gathered together.

Margaret and Sofia behind him also saluted and then stood behind Mainna.

Seeing that everyone who should have come had arrived, Chen Xi cleared his throat and began to introduce the operation.

"Everyone, what lies before us is an alien relic whose status is currently unknown. They call themselves the Necrons, a powerful alien civilization that was active 60 million years ago." Chen Xi's finger slid across the holographic map in front of him, and the content displayed on the map immediately turned into a large area of ​​buildings that seemed to be buried in the mountains. However, due to the lack of information, the whole thing looked blurry.

Chen Xi pointed to the map in front of him and continued, "What you are seeing now is the approximate scale of this alien ruins obtained after scanning the mountain using the Auger matrix.

We are lucky it wasn’t large enough to be dealt with.”

The Auger matrix of the Sword-class frigate is not powerful enough. Although attempts have been made to scan the Tomb of the Dead before, very little information was obtained.

The Tomb of the Dead is deep underground, and the upper level is blocked by mountains. Even the Auger Matrix finds it difficult to scan the specific conditions inside.

Fortunately, the Auger matrix on Tonya's foundry ship was more powerful, which allowed her to obtain a general overview of the Tomb of the Undead.

"This tomb doesn't look very big. Even if it is full of enemies, there shouldn't be too many. But you have gathered so many elite soldiers of the empire so carefully. This place should not be as simple as it seems on the surface, right?" Mainna glanced at the holographic map in front of him and asked Chen Xi tentatively.

"That's right, this place is indeed not as simple as it seems." Chen Xi nodded, confirming Mainna's guess, and projected more information about the Necrons onto the holographic map: "This alien race possesses quite advanced technology. The Gauss weapons they use are difficult for even the Astartes' power armor to withstand. Mortals facing such terrifying weapons are courting death, so once a battle occurs, the best way is to avoid being hit.

As for the phase weapons they used in close combat... the Inquisition had studied them. They were weapons that could directly ignore the armor penetration dimension and cut through the flesh.

But these are not their most dangerous aspects. I believe that you can overcome them with your loyalty to the Empire and your faith in the God-Emperor.

The key to my gathering so many troops to deal with this alien relic is that they have the ability to teleport across galaxies. Once we awaken this alien relic, they can even call for reinforcements across the entire star field.

Therefore, we must be cautious and find a way to destroy the alien portal as soon as possible."

"If this kind of portal can really span the entire star field, then it will be worth it for the empire no matter how great the price it pays!" Tonya on the side showed great interest and enthusiasm in this.

Chen Xi didn't deny this question. He nodded and answered affirmatively, "It would be best if we could obtain a sample of this technology, but to be on the safe side, I must destroy it immediately. After all, our first priority is to destroy this alien relic and eliminate the threat it poses to Rostov II."

And I need to remind you that the other party's portal may be connected to any place in the galaxy where you can seek help.

If it's just ordinary Necrons reinforcements, we can still handle them.

But if it's the elite Necrons that come out, then I can only order the warships to conduct orbital bombardment to blow up the mountain, because it would be difficult for us to stop the Necrons' offensive on our own."

Chen Xi was not joking. Olivia's forging ship was now parked in a synchronous orbit above the Tomb of the Undead and was ready for orbital bombardment.

All parties involved in this operation have no objection to this.

"Next, I'll take charge of the deployment." Seeing that no one said anything else, Chen Xi began to assign tasks: "This exploration of the Necromancer's Tomb will be primarily conducted by the Mechanicus's Skitarii and a number of the Battle Sisters of the Order of the Holy Rose. The Guards and the Knights of the Linguang Family will establish defensive positions outside the tomb.

Once the enemy breaks through the Tomb's blockade, you must hold them off until the orbiting Forge Ships can launch an orbital bombardment.

Don't worry, part of the Skitarii will cooperate with you, and the Battle Sisters of the Ebon Grail Order will also fight alongside you."

"It sounds like there's no problem with the arrangement. The Linguang family will definitely live up to the mission." Mainna had no objection to this mission. Although there was a possibility that they wouldn't get into a fight, the huge size of the knight mecha was indeed not suitable for entering a narrow underground space to fight.

However, at this moment, General Gregory suddenly asked, "Governor, why don't we choose to dig up the mountain above this alien ruins and then directly destroy it?"

General Gregory's speech drew everyone's attention to him, making him somewhat uneasy.

After all, everyone involved in the combat meeting has a higher status than him.

If he were still an officer of the Astra Militarum, it wouldn't be a big deal, but now he was just an officer of the Defense Forces, and the feeling of being stared at made him wonder if he had said something wrong.

It was Guterres who spoke again at this time: "If we dig directly into the mountain, the vibrations it causes will prematurely awaken this alien relic, which is contrary to our purpose."

"Moreover, the various alien technologies hidden in this alien ruins are a valuable treasure! They should be properly recovered." Tonya also interjected at this time, indicating the attitude of the Mechanicus towards this matter.

Seeing this, General Gregory realized that he had spoken out of turn, so he took a step back and said nothing more.

"It seems that no one has any other opinions, so let's start the action!" Chen Xi loudly announced the start of the action.
