Arranging an Identity

"So you're now a Planetary Governor and an Inquisitor, but there's a Necron tomb buried under the planet, and the only available military force is ten regiments of the PDF?" Listening to Chen Xi's introduction, Twilight's face looked constipated as it confirmed with Chen Xi.

Ten regiments of the PDF sound like a lot, but to use them to fight Necrons? Sorry, they probably wouldn't last three days before being wiped out.

Note, it's not just the ten regiments of the PDF being wiped out, but the entire planet being wiped out by the Necrons within three days.

After the Great Rift opened in the official storyline, these metal skeletons deployed an energy field called the Nullifying Death Field in the Imperium's Nephilim Sector. Within the area covered by this negatively polarized Blackstone energy field, all souls would be torn apart.

The ferocious energy radiating from the Nullifying Death Field is gradually transmitted through a network of Blackstone obelisks, eventually enveloping the entire galaxy in energy sufficient to crush souls.

In short, these metal skeletons have launched a plan to slaughter all life with souls in the entire galaxy.

And for the Necrons, this is just a major plan that requires them to spend some time executing. Compared to the ruthless tricks the Necrons have played in the past, this doesn't even count as much.

After all, the Cadian Gate, which the Imperium relies on to block the Great Rift, is actually part of the Blackstone obelisk array left by the Necrons in the past.

It is by relying on the power of the Blackstone obelisks that Cadia was able to block the Warp energy pouring out of the Eye of Terror like a gate.

And the Necrons are simply activating the Blackstone obelisk array that once spread across the galaxy, activating one of its true uses, which is to kill all life with souls in the galaxy.

If Cadia had not been destroyed by Abaddon, along with many of the Blackstone obelisk arrays, the Imperium would probably have difficulty resisting the Necrons' Nullifying Death Field plan.

Although the thing buried under Rostov II is not necessarily such a dangerous existence, it is not something that ten PDF infantry regiments can deal with.

This is an enemy that requires Space Marines, Sisters of Battle, and Knight Houses to face head-on. At the very least, it requires the Adeptus Ministorum and Astra Militarum. The Planetary Defense Force is really not up to the task.

"That's the situation for now, but I've already started building Sisters of Battle. I expect to have the convent built within three to five years, and then mass-train Bolter Babes." Chen Xi didn't feel there was anything wrong with the current situation. He just spread his hands and said, "I've already gone down to confirm that the metal skeletons are still sleeping. Although I made a little noise, I don't think I woke them up.

The main problem now is dealing with the Flayed Ones that have infiltrated the city's sewers. Everyone knows how dangerous that is."

"Speaking of which, you don't have any Servitors in your sewers, do you?" The shop owner confirmed with Chen Xi, his expression very serious.

"Don't worry, I had the Chamberlain confirm it. There are no Servitors or robots in the sewers." Chen Xi understood what the shop owner was saying. The Flayer Curse doesn't just spread among the Necrons. In officially published novels, there are clear records of Servitors being infected with the Flayer Curse. "But because the Flayed Ones had already invaded the city before I transmigrated, I'm not sure how many there are now.

And they've already killed a lot of people. I have no information on whether any of these people have been taken away for biotransference."

"Then have you called the Space Marines?" Mai Mai asked with a slightly nervous tone. It didn't want to be dragged off to be a frontline baby after just transmigrating to the Warhammer world.

"Not yet. After all, I only just discovered these things, and according to the Chamberlain's report, the situation is still under control." Of course, Chen Xi wanted to call the Space Marines to solve the problem, but the Imperium's vast territory and the limited number of Space Marines before the opening of the Great Rift meant that even if he called, it would probably take decades or even centuries for reinforcements to arrive.

And that's already considered very efficient for the Imperium. Under normal circumstances, no one might respond for centuries.

"According to what you said, the situation is indeed under control, so the Necron problem is important but not the top priority." The four people participating in the discussion all had sufficient knowledge of the Warhammer world, so they quickly came to a conclusion: "The first priority now is to increase our strength. As long as we have troops and generals, everything will be fine.

But that Sage of the Adeptus Mechanicus of yours... her problem is very big! Although we all understand that the Adeptus Mechanicus is like this, if your communication with the Adeptus Mechanicus is affected or monopolized by her relationship, the problem will be very big."

"This is also what I'm worried about right now. Ovilia is a student of Dora Caur, and that forge left by Dora Caur will definitely be taken back. Who knows, there might be a group of Primaris Marines buried under it! But we also need to have ways to restrain her, otherwise, it will be difficult for us to influence her again when she recovers." Chen Xi frankly stated his biggest concern at the moment.

Currently, Ovilia's help to Rostov II is indeed not small, and she will even play an important role in the future.

But the problems of the Adeptus Mechanicus faction itself make it difficult for Chen Xi to have enough trust in Ovilia. After all, just exploring a tomb can cause a lot of trouble. Chen Xi finds it hard to believe that she won't cause other problems.

Although this is just a common trait of Tech-priests, and cooperation with them often requires enduring their various problems.

But Chen Xi is a transmigrator, and a transmigrator who can call friends and companions, so he naturally wants to find a way to restrain Ovilia.

"So we need to introduce forces that can restrain her, such as Space Marines, the Adeptus Ministorum, and other forces that can compete with the Adeptus Mechanicus." The shop owner summarized Chen Xi's meaning and then stated, "The native forces of 40K may not excessively restrain the Adeptus Mechanicus due to the overall situation, but we are different. If we can transmigrate as a Mechanicus Sage or a Chapter Forge Sergeant, or even a Forge Master, it will be easy to restrain such an exiled Heretic Sage."

"This is exactly what I want to say. Since we can choose an identity when we transmigrate, then we should naturally choose an identity that can maximize our benefits." Chen Xi looked at the three people with some anticipation and asked them, "So what identities are you planning to use?"

"I wanted to choose a Rogue Trader. Someone has to move bricks and dig ash in the territory, right?" Mai Mai took the lead in stating its position. It wasn't very familiar with the Adeptus Mechanicus and didn't have any Adeptus Mechanicus pawns.

"Seventeen, you know me. I've wanted to drive a warship for a long time." Twilight also looked embarrassed. Although it couldn't be said that it was unfamiliar with the Adeptus Mechanicus, it didn't have any related pawns either.

The shop owner next to them spoke, "I have a Deadbeat Forge Master that I modified myself. I don't know if it can be used?"
