Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 81: Sneak Attack on the City (Part )
Of course, the two sages were unwilling to retreat like this.

They finally broke in, and there was an entire tomb full of alien technology waiting for them to discover. How could they give up halfway?

But under Chen Xi's insistence, especially after he said that this might be a trap, the two sages did not insist on their own opinions and agreed to Chen Xi's request to withdraw first.

As for the combat nuns, since the arch-sister of the Holy Rose Order was a pawn controlled by Chen Xi, there was naturally no problem with command.

After receiving Chen Xi's order, although these nuns were still shouting and fighting fiercely, they still steadily withdrew from the battle and returned to their stronghold.

But Chen Xi glanced at the gathered nuns, and his expression looked somewhat ugly.

This time, the Holy Rose Order sent out about 300 combat nuns and 200 novice nuns, but now there are less than 200 people left, and nearly two-thirds of the nuns were killed.

This is based on the premise that most nuns are equipped with rosary beads and can use shields to defend against Gauss rays.

Moreover, most of them cannot even collect their corpses, because the Necrons' Gauss weapons cannot leave behind corpses.

As for Olivia and Tonya's Crusaders, they suffered even heavier losses. After all, they had no shields, and it was even more difficult for them to resist the Necrons' Gauss weapons.

This was also one of the main reasons why the two sages agreed to retreat, as they needed more manpower.

At the same time, some of the heavy-armored units that were previously left outside should be mobilized to prevent insufficient strength when attacked again.

As for this Tomb of the Undead, since the Rebirth Agreement had been destroyed and most of the Undead units that appeared were gradually eliminated under the attack of the Defense Force, Chen Xijue still left it to the Defense Force to clean up, and transferred the Combat Sisters and the Calling Army, who had suffered heavy losses, to rest.

Chen Xi's order was quickly carried out. Even Guterres, who had returned to his side, agreed. "This crypt technician is quite remarkable. He's set a trap for us in his own tomb. If he can trap us all in one net, this planet will be defenseless to him."

"This tomb technician gives me a very strange feeling. On the one hand, he is very calculating, but on the other hand, he gives me the feeling that his troops seem to be seriously insufficient." Chen Xi retreated out of the tomb while talking with Guterres.

The two sages obviously had no say in this issue. It just so happened that they were not interested in this topic and were only discussing the issue of excavation of this tomb world.

Apparently, after personally visiting the tomb and gaining an intuitive understanding of the Necrons' technology, the two sages became more and more interested in excavating the Necromancer's tombs.

------------

However, just as Chen Xi and others were withdrawing from the Tomb of the Undead, a huge black pyramid suddenly appeared in the wasteland outside the city of Rostov. Along with the appearance of this black pyramid, more black stone buildings were also teleported in.

A green orb on the top of the black pyramid glowed, and the tombstone door inside it opened immediately. A team of elite undead immortals walked out of the portal in neat steps and quickly gathered into a large army.

Not only that, more undead units also appeared one after another, and even some war machines were teleported into the field.

The Rostov defenders immediately discovered the gathering of the alien army and quickly sounded the alarm, sending a message for help to Chen Xi and others who were still in the Tomb of the Dead. Upon receiving this message, Chen Xi actually breathed a sigh of relief.

The most frightening thing in war is not knowing where your opponent is or what he is thinking. If you can only attack blindly or passively defend, it is almost a war that is bound to be lost.

Now that the enemy has shown up, the rest will be easier to deal with.

"Order the warships to conduct orbital bombardment on the assembled Undead forces, and try to destroy their transmission beacons or things like transmission portals." Chen Xi used his trump card at the first moment and used orbital bombardment for support.

Rather than transferring troops back from here and being blocked by the Necrons along the way, the fastest and most effective solution is to directly use warships in space to carry out orbital bombardment.

However, Chen Xi still specifically reminded the casting ships in orbit to open the Auger Matrix and pay attention to the possible existence of Necrons' warships and fleets.

Although Chen Xi has now determined that the other party may not have too many troops, it is always better to be cautious.
-
The effect of orbital strikes is naturally no problem.

Although Tonya's forged ship was only a light cruiser, it was still a three-kilometer-long behemoth.

The macrocannon array installed on it is a catastrophic strike force for ground forces. Even Titan-class units would find it difficult to survive the orbital bombardment of a light cruiser.

With just one round of macro-cannon bombardment, most of the obelisks and stone fortresses that had just been teleported into the wasteland were destroyed.

This undoubtedly made the leader of this army, the tomb technician, angry.

This planet is his fiefdom, the place where he houses his laboratory, and his sacred and inviolable property!
He just slept for 60 million years, and a bunch of monkeys appeared in his house!
These monkeys broke into his laboratory unreasonably, destroyed and looted his valuable experimental results, which made him very angry.

The last time he mobilized his entire army to fight a battle with a group of carbon-based monkeys known as Rogue Traders, although he suffered heavy losses, he managed to drive those monkeys out of his laboratory.

Then he fell into a deep sleep again out of exhaustion, but this time he was careful and hired a Death Mark sniper to guard his tomb.

Facts have proved that this is indeed effective. He never thought that these monkeys had such a terrifying reproductive ability. Only eighty years have passed since he last fell asleep, and these monkeys have built a city on his experimental field again, and have reproduced to more than one billion.

This genuinely frightened the tomb technicians. In just eighty years, the number of these monkeys had increased so much. If they were given a few hundred more years, would the entire dynasty's territory be filled with them?
However, this time, the Tomb Technician was unable to mobilize his entire army to expel these monkeys, because his strength had been severely damaged last time, and the large loss of troops was not so easy to recover.

He originally wanted to sleep for a while longer, and everything would be fine when Wang Chao woke up.

But now the dynasty still slumbers, and he must face the monkeys invading again, with no reinforcements.

After all, he was just a tomb technician and it was impossible for him to awaken the dynasty emperor for the sake of his own private territory.
