Chapter 954 The Unlucky Planet
"What's going on?"
Coming to the bridge, Duanmu Huai continued to ask Sister Shepard, who also hurriedly answered.
"After hearing what you said just now, I used my ghost authority to report to the human embassy, asking them to conduct a thorough investigation of all the star colonies. It turned out that one of the colonies had lost communication and did not respond. We have now sent a nearby naval fleet to investigate..."
"Damn, why did you send a fleet when I asked you to investigate? Isn't this alerting the enemy?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai also cursed and quickly issued an order.
"Ecot, set off immediately! Lock the coordinates. By the way, what is the name of that colony?"
"Elysium..."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai didn't do anything, but Brother Shepard was stunned.
"Why is it there again?"
"What do you mean?"
At this moment, the warship had entered the network channel and started jumping. Duanmu Huai also stopped the communication and looked at Brother Shepard, who showed a very complicated expression.
"How should I put it, Your Excellency the Inquisitor, to be honest, that planet is really unlucky..."
"Hmm?"
According to Shepard's brother, Elysium is a planet located within the Star Alliance. Its environment is very good and is quite suitable for human habitation. The only disadvantage is that it is close to the border. In addition, the planet is a habitable planet with a pleasant climate for humans, so the colony is also called Elysium.
As a result... I don't know if the name is too big, but after the colony was built, there have been problems.
First, the Batarians invaded the Star Alliance and attacked Elysium. At that time, Shepard's brother, who was still an ordinary officer, fought to the death and led his subordinates to block the attack of the Batarians. It was this achievement that promoted him to his current position.
Unexpectedly, this was not the end for Elysium, but the beginning...
Not long after that, when humans finally rebuilt the colony of Elysium, it was attacked by the Geth again. Of course, subsequent investigations found that the mastermind behind it was the Reaper. This time, Elysium suffered a better fate than before, because the main purpose of the Geth's coming was to rob the Prothean relics, and they left after achieving their goal, so the loss was not particularly serious.
The Star Alliance Navy thought that the colony's successive accidents were not a big deal, so they sent people to install four anti-aircraft cannons in Elysium.
As a result, the cannons were installed and not yet activated, and the Reapers came again, and nearly two-thirds of the residents were harvested and died. Only a few people survived. I thought that now that the Batarians were dead and the Reapers were finished, there should be nothing to worry about.
Oh my god, the Dark Eldar invaded?
Why is this colony so unlucky? There are obviously several colonies near the border, why is Elysium always unlucky? Is the name really wrong?
What can Duanmu Huai say about this?
There is no way, the feng shui is not good...
"————!"
After passing through the webway, Duanmu Huai's fleet arrived at the star system where Paradise was located in a moment, and at the same time, they also received a communication from the nearby garrison fleet.
"This is the 15th Fleet of the Star Alliance! Is it the Inquisition?"
"Yes, what is the current situation?"
"The situation is very bad."
Although there is only sound and no image, it can be heard from the sound that the commander on the opposite side is quite dejected.
"After receiving the order from the Navy Command, we arrived at Paradise as quickly as possible, but at this time the murderer who attacked Paradise had already fled. We are currently investigating the losses of the Paradise colony..."
"This is also normal."
Duanmu Huai did not expect the Star Alliance Navy to catch the Dark Eldar at all. The tactics of the Dark Eldar were pure guerrilla warfare. The characteristics of their warships were light and agile. Although there was no defense, the main point was that the world's martial arts could only be broken by speed. If the tough and thick Imperial warship is a buffalo, then the Dark Eldar warship is a fly, which can circle around you and is not afraid of being hit by you.
In addition, the Dark Eldar can also use the webway to come and go without a trace, so the Star Alliance Navy can never catch this fleet that focuses on fast and flexible maneuvers. Maybe they just arrived in this galaxy and the Dark Eldar got the news and prepared to run away.
"In short, let's go to the colony to see the situation first."
Elysium.
This colony with a beautiful name has been hit hard again and again, but none of them was worse than this time.
When the group arrived at the center of the Elysium colony in a transport plane, it was already a mess, with corpses everywhere. The Star Alliance soldiers were busy collecting corpses and calculating losses. The fleet commander who came to greet them was also livid.
"To be honest, I have experienced many battles, but no battlefield makes me angry like this one."
Commander Edward gritted his teeth and his face was livid.
"You can't even imagine how the residents here died! None of them were shot dead on the spot. Almost all of them went through long periods of suffering and then died tragically here. Those damn bastards! They are just playing with the residents here! They take pleasure in bullying 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 get treatment. Die in pain like this.
Others had dozens of small wounds on their bodies, and they crawled forward bleeding 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 keeping 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 alien races are evil remnants that need to be destroyed, 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 jump method 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 in the Webway is it? People know!
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 Elf clan, 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 face them directly and use the fragile armor of the Dark Eldar to blast them 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 against the dark elves, and this was 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.
Therefore, even during the period of the Human Empire, the Astartes were basically fighting defensive battles with the dark elves - when they were attacking, you couldn't even find anyone and they were 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, it is... 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 warships to form a patrol fleet to patrol at fixed points, and then...
"Didn't you say before that this colony has anti-aircraft turrets installed? Where are the turrets?"
Duanmuhuai glanced around, looked at Brother Shepard and asked, while Commander Edward answered beside him.
"......After the previous Reaper attack, the people here demolished 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 Comoros."
Duanmu Huai snorted coldly. Compared to the UNSC, which had fought life and death with the Star Alliance all his life, the Star Alliance was 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, and they are really angry to death.
The only way to eliminate the Dark Eldar is to find the portal leading to Commorragh, and then go straight to its home base - the Dark Eldar only have this one main city, and if you take it out, you will die.
And if we can take out the Dark Eldar, we 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.
