Chapter 952 The Unlucky Planet

 “What is the situation?”

Arrived at the bridge, Duanmu Huai also continued to ask Sister Shepard, who also answered hastily.

"I just heard what you said, so I sent a report to the human embassy with ghost authority, asking them to conduct a thorough investigation of all star field colonies. It turned out that one of the colonies had a communication interruption and no response. At present, a nearby naval fleet has been dispatched Go and investigate..."

“Holy shit, I asked you to find out what you sent the fleet for!? Isn’t this just to alert the enemy?”

Hearing this, Duanmuhuai also cursed immediately, and then quickly issued an order.

 “Ecott, set off immediately! Lock the coordinates, by the way, what is the name of that colony?”

 “Elysium…”

"Aha?"

Hearing this, Duanmuhuai didn't feel any better, but brother Shepard was stunned.

 “Why is it there again?”

 “What does it mean?”

At this time, the battleship has entered the network and started to jump. Duanmuhuai also terminated the communication and looked at brother Shepard, who showed a very complicated expression.

 "This...how should I put it, Your Majesty the Inquisitor, to be honest, that planet is really unlucky..."

"Um?"

According to Brother Shepard, Elysium is a planet located within the Star Alliance. Its environment is very good and it is quite suitable for human habitation. The only drawback is that it is somewhat close to the border. In addition, that planet is considered a livable planet with a pleasant climate for humans, so the colony is also called Elysium.

 As a result... I don’t know if the name was too big, but troubles have been happening since the colony was established.

First, the Batarians invaded the Star Alliance territory and launched an attack on Elysium. Brother Shepard, who was still an ordinary officer at the time, refused to retreat and led his men to block the Batarian attack. It was this achievement that made him He rose to his current position.

 Unexpectedly, this is not the end for Paradise, but the beginning...

Not long after this, when humans finally rebuilt the colony in Elysium, it was attacked by the Geth again. Of course, subsequent investigation revealed that the man behind it was the Reaper. This time the encounter in Elysium was better than before, because the main purpose of the geth at that time was to rob Prothean's relics, and they left after achieving their goal, so the loss was not particularly serious.

And the Star Alliance Navy thought that the successive incidents in this colony would not be a problem, so they specially sent people to install four anti-aircraft cannons in Elysium.

As a result, before the cannon was installed and activated, the reapers came again, and nearly two-thirds of the residents were harvested and died. Only a handful of people survived. I originally thought that now that the Batarians were dead and the Reapers were finished, nothing would happen.

 Hey guys, what about a Dark Eldar invasion?

How come this colony is so unlucky? There are obviously several colonies on the nearby border, so why is Elysium always unlucky? Could this be the wrong name?

 What can be said about Duanmuhuai?

 There is no way, the feng shui is not good...

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　————!

Through the webway, Duanmuhuai's fleet arrived at the galaxy where Elysium is located in a short time. At the same time, they also received communications from the nearby garrison fleet.

“This is the Fifteenth Starfleet Fleet! Is this the Inquisition?”

 “That’s right, how is the current situation?”

 “The situation is very bad.”

Although there is only sound and no image, you can tell from the sound that the commander on the opposite side is dejected.

“After receiving the order from the Navy Command, we arrived at Elysium as quickly as possible. However, the murderer who attacked Elysium had already escaped. We are currently investigating the damage to the Elysium colony..."

 “This is normal.”

Duanmuhuai does not expect the Star Alliance Navy to capture the Dark Eldar at all. The Dark Eldar's tactics are pure guerrilla warfare. Their warships are characterized by being light and agile. Although they have no defense, their main focus is to be fast and unbreakable in martial arts. If the thick-skinned Imperial warship is like a buffalo, then the Dark Eldar warship is like a fly, able to circle around you without fear of being hit.

In addition, the Dark Eldar can also use the Webway to come and go without a trace, so it is impossible for the Star Alliance Navy to capture this kind of fleet that focuses on fast and flexible maneuvers - maybe the Dark Eldar will get the news as soon as they arrive in this galaxy. Ready to run away.

 “Anyway, let’s go to the colonies to see the situation first.”

 Elysium. This colony with a beautiful name has been hit hard time and time again, but none of it was as tragic as this one.

　　When a group of people took a transport plane and arrived at the center of the colony in Elysium, the place was already in a mess, with corpses everywhere. Star Alliance soldiers were busy collecting the bodies and counting the losses. The fleet commander who came to greet them also looked livid.

“To be honest, I have been through many battles, but no battlefield has made me as angry as this one.”

 Commander Edward clenched his teeth and his face was ashen.

"You can't even imagine how the residents here died! None of them were shot dead on the spot. Almost all of them experienced a long period of pain and then died miserably here. Those **** bastards! They were just toying with this place. Residents! Take pleasure in torturing them!"

The corpses being moved around also verified Commander Edward's words. Many of these corpses had been disemboweled - the other party had avoided the organs very skillfully, so that these people could not even be treated. That's it. Die in agony.

Some people had dozens of small wounds on their bodies, and they crawled forward bleeding, and then crawled until they died.

Even Medea and Mary showed unbearable expressions when they saw this scene, and brother Shepard gritted his teeth, while Duanmu Huai looked calm.

"This is normal. The Dark Eldar don't like killing people. They like to bring pain to people. The spirit of pain is their food, so if it's just ordinary killing, it doesn't mean much to the Dark Eldar. I think those who were caught The colonial residents who left are probably not dead. Most of them will be thrown into the arena of Commorragh by the Dark Eldar, or become guinea pigs for their experiments. Of course, if they are a skilled Dark Eldar, they can even do it. To the point of directly peeling off human skin and leaving people alive...I wonder if the craftsmanship of the Dark Eldar has deteriorated after so many years..."

"There are actually such evil alien races in this world. I used to think that the Batarians were disgusting enough, but now it seems that compared to these Dark Eldar, the Batarians and Wocha are angels. !”

“In the eyes of the Inquisition, all xenos races are evil remnants that need to be exterminated, without exception.”

Duanmu Huai gave the answer calmly.

“But I have to admit...the Dark Eldar are really difficult to defeat.”

"How come...even the Inquisition can't do anything about them?"

 Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Commander Edward suddenly looked worried.

"Why?"

“The reason is very simple. The Dark Eldar have a method of jumping similar to that of the Tribunal, and their base camp is not in the real world, but in another plane. To be honest... it is very difficult to find.”

Duanmu Huai spread his hands helplessly, and what he said was indeed the truth. Even in the game, all players know that the main city of the Dark Eldar is Comoros, and they all know that the city of Comoros is hidden in the Webway, but where exactly in the Webway... no one knows !

  Players who can occasionally go to Comorragh mostly use the Dark Elf Webway portal. No player has ever been able to find Comorragh, the main city of the Dark Eldar, in the Webway. It's like looking for diseased tissue in the intestines - the problem is that it would take at least a million years to go through this intestine.

 How did you find it?

This is the disgusting thing about the Dark Eldar. You have to go head-on and use the fragile armor of the Dark Eldar to blast it in minutes. But the problem is that people never confront you directly. They are just like mosquitoes. They rely on their speed and flexibility to circle around you and take advantage of the opportunity to attack you. They can make people angry to death.

In the past, it was difficult for the human empire to do well with the dark elves. This is the reason. The Dark Eldar can use the Webway to teleport themselves and their warships, moving around invisibly. There is no webway for the Imperial warships to travel through, they can only travel through subspace, so the two sides cannot collide together.

Hence, even during the period of the Human Empire, the Astartes were basically fighting defensive battles against the Dark Elves - when it came to attacking, you wouldn't even be able to find anyone and they would be nowhere to be found.

The Human Empire is like this, and the Star Alliance is naturally far worse. To put it bluntly, in front of the Dark Eldar, the Star Alliance is like a pig to be slaughtered. They can slaughter it whenever they want. You have no ability to resist. No.

So for Duanmu Huai... try to strengthen the colonial defense force as much as possible and use numbers to fight against the Dark Eldar. It is best to send a few more battleships to form a patrol fleet to patrol at fixed points, and then...

“Didn’t you say before that this colony has anti-aircraft batteries installed? Where are the batteries?”

Duanmuhuai glanced around, looked at Brother Shepard and asked, while Commander Edward answered beside him.

“...After the previous Reaper attack, the people here dismantled the anti-aircraft fort, saying that if the anti-aircraft fort had not been built, it would not have attracted the attention of the Reapers..."

“A group of mentally retarded people, I hope they can maintain such an optimistic attitude when experiencing the customs and customs of the Dark Eldar in Commorragh.”

Duanmu Huai snorted coldly. Compared to the UNSC, which has fought life and death with the Star Alliance all his life, the Star Alliance is really an ignorant brat... The UNSC would not have made such a mistake.

In the game, Duanmu Huai doesn't have much dealings with the Dark Eldar, because the Dark Eldar's quest lines are all about the old lady's foot bindings, which are smelly, long, and annoying as hell. Duanmu Huai prefers to take on simple and direct tasks that require firepower. The task of brushing orders. Occasionally, the battles with the Dark Eldar are all defensive battles. As for the offensive battles - when people see your army coming, they slap their butts and run away. They can't catch up, which makes them really angry.

The only way to eliminate the Dark Eldar is to find the portal leading to Commorragh, and then raid its base directly - the Dark Eldar only have this one main city, and if you dig it out, you will die.

And if you can capture the Dark Eldar, you might be able to add another step to the progress of natural disasters.

 The problem is, how to pay for it... is a problem.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but think.
