Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 80 The Emperor Appears
Although it is not the most desperate moment yet, as long as they hold on until the two sages break the tomb door or the reinforcements from outside attack, or the tomb's portal and rebirth protocol are solved, the situation can be turned around, but the unfavorable situation still makes Chen Xi worried.

"God Emperor! If you are really watching me, please show up and bless us to survive this disaster and eliminate these aliens!" Chen Xi prayed seriously to the old man for the first time.

After all, he was able to travel through time thanks to the divine power of Old Man Huang. He believed that Old Man Huang would definitely not want his plan to be thwarted in this way.

But Chen Xi was not sure whether the old man wanted to watch him try to solve the problem on his own or was willing to lend a helping hand.

After all, the galaxy is so big, the empire's territory is so vast, and countless people pray to the old man every day. If he can really take care of it, he would be a god if not a god.

Before the Great Rift opened, the old emperor was still an old man on the throne, and he didn't have the ability to spread the Cursed Legion all over the galaxy.

However, just as Chen Xi was thinking about this, he suddenly heard the two sages behind him shouting, "The gate is open!"

Along with their voices, the originally closed door of the tomb slowly opened, and a team of defense soldiers rushed in first. Although their support was only symbolic, the symbolic significance of the arrival of support undoubtedly greatly boosted morale.

Especially at this moment, a golden flame suddenly ignited on the battle flag held high by the elder sister, which immediately killed the morale of the fighting sisters present.

"Fuck, the old man really showed up!" Chen Xi complained, then raised the holy sword in his hand and shouted, "For the Emperor!"

"He is watching us! For the Emperor! Sisters! Destroy the aliens!" Even the Order of the Holy Rose, the calmest and most rational of the six major orders, fell into a state of religious fanaticism.

They chanted hymns of praise to the Emperor and then launched a fearless charge towards the Necrons.

Seeing them being so reckless, Chen Xi instinctively wanted to stop them from doing what seemed like suicide, but then he was surprised to find that under the influence of the hymns, these combat nuns did not fall into mindless frenzy.

Instead, he still maintained a very high level of tactical skills. While charging, he also constantly used his own shield and the surrounding cover to dodge or defend against enemy attacks.

Even though they were charging towards the enemy's attack, the damage they suffered was not as great as Chen Xi had imagined.

Not only that, the reinforcements that followed also greatly enhanced their own combat effectiveness. Although the three knight squires did not have as strong defense as the knights themselves, they had no problem opening their own shields to provide cover for the battle nuns on the way to the charge.

Not to mention, behind them, a huge Templar Ranger also squeezed in and began to bombard the enemy formation with its rapid-fire automatic cannon.

With the addition of knights and knight squires, the battle sisters' charge became smoother, and they even suppressed the Necrons' offensive for a time.

"Guterres, how is the situation over there? Have you found the rebirth agreement?" Chen Xi called Guterres through the communication channel.

"The rebirth agreement has been discovered, but the defense here is very tight, and I need time to break through!" Guterres' communication came. It was not good news, but not too bad either.

"I understand. The door above has been opened. I'll call for reinforcements! Don't force yourself!" Chen Xi said to Guterres, and then issued an order for reinforcements to the troops on standby outside the tomb.

Chen Xi didn't have General Gregory dispatch a large force. After all, those heavy firepower and armored units weren't very mobile, and it would be difficult for them to enter the tomb and fully utilize their power. Therefore, Chen Xi had General Gregory mobilize primarily the remaining Battle Sisters, the heavy firepower replenishment squads that had participated in hunting the Flayers, and some Sentinel mechas.

With the arrival of reinforcements, the battle seemed to be over.

With the heavy firepower and sentry mechas brought by the defense forces, plus the support of Margaret, the Necrons seemed to be suppressed quickly.

Even Guterres underground managed to destroy the Rebirth Protocol, and although it cost two Seraphim, it successfully prevented the rebirth of the Necrons in the tomb.

Everything seemed to be a foregone conclusion, but Chen Xi felt something was wrong.

"Something's wrong! Even if this is just the grave of a tomb technician and there are no heavily armored units, it shouldn't be so that there is not a single Immortal to be seen. They should all be warriors, right?" Chen Xi felt something was wrong.

He had played the Necrons before and had some understanding of them.

Necromancers are just the most basic infantry unit of the Necrons. They were all civilians, women, children, and the elderly and weak of the Necrontyr clan when they were transformed into machines.

Their professional army was transformed into immortals. Although the two do not look much different in appearance, there is a big gap in their combat effectiveness.

The most crucial point is that the Immortals can still use tactical coordination even when there is no one commanding them!
But the Necrons that Chen Xi faced seemed to be coming to die. Apart from the fact that the Necrons' Gauss weapons were indeed powerful, they did not show any tactical changes. They only charged forward in big strides and then were knocked down, that was all.

Chen Xi even noticed that the scarabs that were originally like a tide in the tomb, as well as the underworld spiders and tomb ghosts mixed in with them, gradually disappeared.

Although a considerable number of them were eliminated, Chen Xi always felt that the number was a bit disproportionate.

Especially since Chen Xi had already been ambushed once, this made him feel that the owner of this tomb was definitely not someone who would let his troops die like this.

"Lady Margaret! I need your help. Please guard the gate of the tomb and ensure our escape route. I'm afraid it will be closed again!" Chen Xi looked at the huge knight mecha beside him.

Because its body was so large, there was not much space for it to move in the tomb, so after entering, Margaret stayed near the stronghold and used her own shield to protect the stronghold.

"I understand, leave it to me!" Margaret also felt that she was trapped in this small area and it was difficult for her to exert her fighting power, so she began to retreat towards the tomb gate.

The others were still fighting the undead, and gradually suppressed and eliminated most of the undead within Chen Xi's sight.

"It's still not right! Let's withdraw first and let the troops clean up this place before coming back." Chen Xi decided to withdraw first.
