Sarekh Dynasty

"Well, yes, that's true, but it shouldn't have anything to do with those four, right?" Mai Mai knew what Chen Xi was talking about, but it still felt like a psychological thing.

But Chen Xi shook his head and said, "Even if that's not the case, we can't be careless. Who knows if something might actually pop up? Once the Great Rift opens, anything can happen, right?"

"That's true enough. So, what should we do?" Everyone present was a Warhammer enthusiast and had some understanding of numerology, so they naturally took the issue seriously.

After all, the Warhammer world is a place where you can worship a Warp entity just by believing in a certain political system. It's best to believe in things like Chaos sacred numbers.

"Blow up a mining planet and turn it directly into ore," Gutierrez suggested, a rather radical strategy.

"I'm afraid we can't blow it up. When we scanned the Rostov system, we saw Blackstone obelisk arrays on one of the planets, and this..." Twilight placed a projection device on the table, which then projected two patterns composed of circles and lines.

The two patterns were different sizes, and it was clear that the smaller one belonged to the larger one.

"The Emperor's codpiece! Is that the Sarekh Dynasty?" Chen Xi felt like he'd won the lottery.

"I'm not familiar with Necrons. Which dynasty's emblem is this?" Mai Mai looked at the emblem and curiously asked Chen Xi and Gutierrez.

Of the four, those two both played Necrons and were relatively familiar with this stuff.

"The big one is the Sarekh Dynasty, one of the leading dynasties among the Necrons. If we actually dig out this dynasty..." Chen Xi chose his words carefully, but finally said helplessly, "Let me put it this way: although the Necrons are composed of thousands of dynasties, large and small, they have an organization that leads all the dynasties, called the Triarch Council, which is composed of the Phaeron of three dynasties.

The three are not equal. The position of one person is higher than the other two, and they are called the Silent King.

And in the past years of the Necrons, the Phaeron of the Sarekh Dynasty has always served as the Silent King, including the last Silent King, Szarekh, who is that thing that costs 420 points on the tabletop and is bigger than an Imperial Knight."

(The human stick hanging on the shelf behind is a Shard of the Star Gods. The Silent King's cloak is made of the Star Gods' skin.)

"Doesn't that mean we're sitting on a powder keg?" Hearing Chen Xi's words, Twilight immediately felt a little scalp tingling.

"It's not that bad. See this small emblem? This indicates that we are only facing a small dynasty belonging to the Sarekh Dynasty. It's not enough to summon the Silent King just by digging up their graves." Gutierrez reassured Twilight, but still said solemnly, "However, we may have to be more careful about the excavation of the Necron tomb. It would be best to bring an expeditionary force, otherwise the problem may be very serious."

"Are Necrons really that dangerous? I think your win rate on the tabletop wasn't that great before!" Mai Mai didn't understand and curiously asked Chen Xi.

In response, Chen Xi just spread his hands, signaling Gutierrez to answer the question.

"The gap between tabletop combat and real combat power is huge. According to the rules, even a grot can stab an Adeptus Custodes to death, but in reality, even a warboss would have a hard time defeating an Adeptus Custodes." Gutierrez didn't explain too much, but just said to Mai Mai and Twilight, "Regarding the strength of the Necrons, I'll just say one thing: the only time Ciaphas Cain ever suffered a setback in his life was when he went tomb raiding with some Adeptus Mechanicus Sage who didn't know any better. He lost two fingers that time."

Commissar Ciaphas Cain, one of the three great Imperial chosen Commissars, once defeated an Ork Warboss in a single battle and then fought two Chaos Space Marines. After that, he faced a Tyranid Hive Tyrant, two of them! And even injured them before reinforcements arrived!

His other achievements include: with Jurgen's help, blowing up a Daemon Princess - a female Daemon Prince, defeating a Genestealer in close combat - one that could kill two Word Bearers and seriously injure a third in seconds, fighting a Lictor, and so on.

(Brother Yunlong is also one of the characters with the most romantic luck in the entire 40K series, and his dates include a curvy Inquisitor, the daughter of a Planetary Governor with a broad mind, and a stunningly beautiful Tech-priest, etc.)

However, even someone as lucky as Ciaphas Cain suffered a big loss when he went to touch a Necron tomb with some Adeptus Mechanicus Sage, and suffered the most serious injury of his life, losing two fingers.

This shows that going to touch a Necron tomb is never a good idea.

If it's a small dynasty, it's okay. Find the local Forge World, bring some Adeptus Ministorum from several macro branches, and call on the Titan Legion and Knight House. Take out all the Tech-priests' bottom-of-the-box treasures, and there's really no big problem in blowing up a small dynasty.

But if you touch some big dynasty... even an entire strike force of the Indomitus Crusade may not be able to defeat a Necron Dynasty.

After all, if they could, the Imperium wouldn't have suffered such a big setback in the Nullifying Death Field.

"It seems we have to be more cautious about digging graves." Chen Xi looked at Gutierrez and asked him, "Can you use your Forge Master status to apply for the establishment of a new Watch Fortress?"

"I can, the Emperor gave us official endorsed identities. But..." Gutierrez seemed a little hesitant about this request, "Applying to build a Watch Fortress is not a small matter. Even if we can apply to build a Watch Fortress, it won't be built in a short time.

Relatively speaking, I suggest applying for a Kill Team. Having a Deathwatch Kill Team will provide tremendous help for the situation we are currently facing."

The Kill Team that Gutierrez mentioned does not refer to the tabletop Kill Team, but a formation of the Deathwatch, which is also the origin of the word Kill Team.

After Roboute Guilliman split the legions after the Great Heresy, the Space Marines were active in the Imperium in the size of thousand-man chapters, but they usually had a lot of things to take care of and could no longer deploy a large number of Space Marines like the Great Crusade.

So, under normal circumstances, Space Marines would carry out various missions in small teams of five to ten people, and the Deathwatch Kill Team is such a task force formation.

From the current situation, if a Space Marine squad is deployed to Rostov II, it can indeed solve most of the problems Chen Xi and the others are facing.

But in terms of the current situation on Rostov II, deploying a Space Marine squad is a huge waste.

Although it sounds cruel, Rostov II is not worth deploying Space Marines until the Necron tomb under their feet is completely awakened.
