Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 77 A Trap

When Chen Xi's order was given, the combat nuns immediately took up a combat stance and entered a state of alert according to his order.

The Crusaders were controlled by the two sages and were a beat slow to react. But after the two sages reacted, they quickly switched to combat mode. All weapons were lit up and they were ready for battle.

Only then did the two sages and Guterres ask Chen Xi, "What happened? What did you see with your spirit?"

Although they didn't know what happened, since Chen Xi shouted to enter combat mode, there must be a reason.

In this galaxy, everything may be lacking, but the only thing it lacks is fighting.

Therefore, when encountering something, the safest and correct approach is to adopt a fighting stance as soon as possible.

Chen Xi, who had recovered at this time, gasped and said, "This is a trap! The necromancer technician in the tomb has awakened!"

As Chen Xi finished speaking, a green ray suddenly shot towards his head from a very close position. A white-headed Necromancer with big green eyes half-poked out of the void, holding a weapon that had just been fired in his hand.

At this time, Guterres next to Chen Xi reacted the fastest. An incendiary pistol mounted on the mechanical arm behind him fired instantly, and a fiery red ray shot out.

But the Necron who launched the sneak attack simply stepped back and disappeared from everyone's sight.

It was not until this time that the explosive bombs fired by several combat nuns around Chen Xi finally passed through the location where the Necrons were just now.

"Chen Xi, are you okay?" Guterres then looked at Chen Xi with concern. Although he knew that he would not die, if the chess piece was shot in the head, many things would become very troublesome.

At this moment, Chen Xi glanced at the activated shield on his body, then nodded and said, "Fortunately, I have a shield, otherwise this shot would definitely kill me."

"What is that? It looks like it's hiding in a dimensional space. Do you need me to catch it out?" Although she is a biological sage, Olivia also has some knowledge of spatial dimensions.

"The Death Mark Sniper is a special unit of the Necrons used for assassinations. It can hide in pocket dimensions and is a very difficult assassin. It would be great if we could catch it." Chen Xi said this while drawing his weapon and said to everyone, "But we'll talk about this later. It's time for those Necrons to attack."

As Chen Xi finished speaking, the entire ancient tomb seemed to wake up. Rays of green light flashed across the surface of the black stone building, and streams of light flickered like breathing.

Along with these streams of light, a large amount of green fluorescence appeared in the depths of the tomb, sweeping out from every corner like a carpet, quickly covering the ground and the surfaces of various buildings.

The ghost spiders and tomb ghosts that Chen Xi had seen before also appeared in large numbers, rushing towards where everyone was like a tide.

Undead warriors, each armed with Gaussian weapons, were constantly teleported to the surrounding area with bursts of green lightning, and then, marching in unison, began to attack the Imperial forces. Thanks to Chen Xi's psychic warning, the Imperial forces were not caught off guard, and the pre-installed defenses played their due role.

However, the Necrons' Gauss weapons were indeed powerful. Even with the pre-built defense line, the Empire was still beaten back step by step, and the two sages' crusaders suffered heavy losses.

The battle sisters, however, suffered some casualties during the initial contact, but after they began to sing the hymn of miracles, they quickly stabilized their position and began to engage in a defensive counterattack with the Necrons.

Moreover, because the ones brought down by Chen Xi were combat nuns from the Order of the Holy Rose, although they also fought wildly, they paid great attention to tactics and strategy.

He did not rush forward recklessly to confront these Necrons head-on, but flexibly used the terrain in the tomb to set various traps, killing the enemy as much as possible while protecting himself from being hit by the Necrons' firepower.

Both Chen Xi and the state religion were willing to spend money on these combat nuns. Therefore, although not every nun had one, the proportion of nuns equipped with rosaries was still very high.

It is precisely because of the existence of the shield that they appear more resilient when facing the attacks of the Necrons, and can even hold up the defense line against the surging green tide.

Chen Xi tried to contact the outside world at this time and wanted to call for more reinforcements, but found that the communication was interfered with.

Not only that, even the door to the tomb they entered was closed silently at some point.

So he hurriedly said to the two sages beside him who had rolled up their sleeves and were about to join the battlefield: "You two, find a way to restore contact with the outside world, we need reinforcements!
"Have the two teams we sent out earlier found the portal and rebirth protocol to this crypt? If you do, destroy them immediately!"

The two sages also knew that the situation was urgent at this time. If they could not destroy the enemy's portal and rebirth protocol, then these metal skeletons would continue to regenerate and new reinforcements would enter.

At the same time as changes were taking place inside the tomb, General Mainna and Gregory, who were guarding outside the tomb, also noticed the changes in the Tomb of the Undead.

"This is... not good, it seems that the Governor and his men are in trouble!" General Gregory reacted immediately and mobilized the army to rescue them.

However, his action was stopped by Mainna. The knight said calmly, "No! We don't know the situation in the tomb. When the Governor assigned the task, he left the defense forces outside. He hoped that you could play to your strengths and use your powerful firepower and armor as a line of defense to block any enemies that might rush out!
You must not lose your composure at this time. Leave the rescue of the Governor-General to me. The Linguang Family has received the Governor-General's kindness, and it is time to repay him."

As she spoke, Mainna ordered Margaret, who had been waiting in the machine, "Margaret, take a team of servants to rescue the Governor! The servants are big enough to burrow underground, so have them support the Governor!"

"Yes, uncle!" After receiving the order from Mainna, Margaret immediately called the three knights guarding her and rushed towards the gate of the tomb.

While the knights were taking action, Mainna also found that they could not contact Chen Xi, so he hurriedly contacted the foundry ship in orbit, hoping to use the foundry ship's high-power sound array to break through the interference and confirm the situation of Chen Xi and the others.
