Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 597 Dark Eldar Tribe
……

The exploration fleet and the battle fleet will meet and sail together towards the Dark Eldar Webway city marked on the route map.

On the command deck of the Bosafalos battleship, Qin Xia explained to Malcador what they had just experienced in the Eldar Ark World.

The seal holder was not interested in the details of the meeting because he knew that there was a high probability that nothing would be discussed in the first meeting.

Or it was the attitude of the spirits in Qin Xia's words that interested the Seal Holder more.

"As an arrogant race, they are willing to use human language to communicate in meetings. This is a sign that they value you."

"I know that."

"In their eyes, you are a demigod, not a mortal."

Makado's eyes were as if he was examining someone, and his sharp gaze seemed to be determined to discover something from Qin Xia.

After sitting on the Golden Throne, Malcador learned about Qin Xia and the Quadruple Trial. Now he wanted to know whether seizing the concept of the subspace would change Qin Xia's temperament.

But as far as current observations go… no.

"If the Eldar can allow humans to have a place in the Webway, they just need to form an alliance or something." Qin Xia looked at Malcador solemnly, "What do you think is the probability that the Emperor will agree to an alliance?"

Humanity already has a place on the Webway, and the Webway city of Kalasta is proof of that.

But what Qin Xia was talking about at this time was not just about whether humans could enter the webway and take root, but about using the webway to become a more powerful interstellar civilization.

Malcador thought so.

"In my opinion, it would be great if the Eldar could provide help. Because in the process of exploring the network route, we will make immeasurable sacrifices and spend a lot of time. You can imagine, if the exploration fleet you find is not captured, but enters a network with demons..."

Malcador considered every aspect, analyzing as he spoke.

"The Emperor now only wants humans to use the Webway as soon as possible, so he will definitely agree to an alliance. Whether they work together for a while before going to war, or they each occupy a piece of the Webway and live in peace... he can accept it."

"In front of his career, all ideas and insistence must be compromised and given in. He can sacrifice and abandon everything, and his personal dignity and life are even the most insignificant of the disposable things in his eyes."

After listening to what the seal holder said, Qin Xia was sure that the other party thought similarly to what he did.

"Shall we form an alliance?" Malcador asked.

"It depends on the situation." Qin Xia said.

The seal bearer nodded meaningfully.

Qin Xia also nodded.

In the eyes of the people on the command deck, the two men did nothing, they didn't even look at each other, let alone talk.

Battle fleets and exploration fleets still sail the Webway.

Several solar hours later, the report reached Qin Xia's ears.

"We have arrived near the Dark Eldar Webway city marked on the route map."

At the same time as the report sounded, the various data scanned by the detection device were processed, transmitted into the holographic imaging device, and projected.

A webway city similar to Kalasta appeared before the humans.

Outside the city, which was 360 degrees in all angles, there were hundreds of Dark Eldar ships parked.

"When are you ready to attack?"

The commander of the Imperial Guards, Waldo, strode into the command deck and stood behind Qin Xia.

Now Valdor is not only the commander of the Imperial Guards, but also responsible for the command and deployment of other armies.

"Let me take a look." A psychic light flashed in Qin Xia's eyes.

This Webway city is a checkpoint set up by the Dark Eldar on the route to the Eye of Terror. Although the Dark Eldar and the Ark Eldar are of the same kind, they have conflicts and grudges against each other.

However, the relationship between a small faction under a certain force and the Ark Eldar still needs to be considered, because the Webway city will allow the Ark Eldar to pass through, and the Dark Eldar there may also be allies with some Ark Worlds.

Qin Xia observed carefully and eventually saw some Ark Eldar people in the Webway City.

Those people, along with various races including humans, were being tortured by the Dark Eldar in the heart of the Webway City.

"Destroy the fleet first, and then dispatch several warships specializing in orbital bombing to accurately strike the outer areas of the Webway City. There are only garrisons there." Qin Xia issued a general order.

The naval officers and staff on the command deck are responsible for breaking down the order and assigning it to specific fleets for execution.

After a moment's preparation, the human fleet launched an attack on the Dark Eldar fleet.

The enemy was small in number, so only the battle carrier Bosafalos was responsible for the fight.

This giant ship did not sail towards the Webway City, nor did it approach the enemy. The various ancient weapons carried by the ship were aimed at the many Dark Eldar ships from a very long distance.

The ancient weapon capable of emitting energy rays opened fire, and hundreds of fine rays of light instantly hit the enemy ship.

This energy ray did not cause the enemy ship to explode, but instead caused it to begin to disintegrate after hitting it.

In Qin Xia's eyes, the hundreds of ships of the Dark Eldar seemed to be suddenly turned into sand, and the entire hull turned into scattered sand and dust from the point of impact. With just one attack, the enemy fleet was annihilated.

At the same time, hundreds of fighter planes with appearance styles that were obviously different from modern ones were released from the Bosafalos. These ancient fighter planes were about one kilometer long and were obviously designed specifically for missions such as bombing.

This formation of hundreds of fighter planes began to bomb the edge of the Webway city.

However, Qin Xia had no way of knowing the power of this fighter, because after the bombing began, people found that whether it was live ammunition or energy attacks, they would eventually create some ripples near the Webway City and then disappear.

Qin Xia was not surprised by this experience.

These Webway cities are real relics of the ancient Eldar Empire. If the Dark Eldar in the Webway cities were replaced by humans, it would be equivalent to modern people being in a city built during the peak period of humanity.

"Deploy the army." Qin Xia looked at Waldo.

Once again the command was refined and executed.

Waldo gives his enemies the best treatment possible—all out.

The Crusaders, Solar System Auxiliary Army, Custodians and Space Marines were teleported to the Webway City in that order.

As the army came into contact with the enemy, information about the new Dark Eldar enemy was gathered and compiled aboard the Bosafalos.

Holographic images project a wide variety of mutant creatures.

These creatures are strange and varied, but frontline combatants discovered that they all have one thing in common: they are all controlled by individuals among the alien enemies.

"A monster modified by the Haemonchi." Qin Xia walked over to the people on the command deck who were responsible for taking notes and collecting information, and told them more. "This creature is a product of bioengineering and is controlled by the Haemonchi. The so-called Haemonchi are people among the Dark Eldar who are extremely skilled in biotechnology. The best way to deal with this modified monster is to use the decapitation tactic and kill its controller."

The information Qin Xia said was recorded.

If the Empire encounters this type of enemy again in the future, the front-line combat troops will not be caught by surprise.

At the same time, in the Webway City, the Solar System Auxiliary Army was fighting against a large number of Haemolycoris-transformed monsters.

Qin Xia's eyes sparkled as he quickly observed the combat situation on the front line.

The Solar System Auxiliary Army is the most elite among the mortal forces of the Human Empire.

This force was not large, only 120,000 people, and even the most ordinary soldier in the auxiliary army was equipped with expensive power armor.

On the front lines, the Sol System Auxilia and the Mechanicus Skitarii acted together.

When they encountered an unknown enemy, they relied solely on their own abilities to stabilize the front, organize effective defense and even counterattack. Some officers in the auxiliary army quickly detected the characteristics of the hostile creatures, sent out small troops to scout out the controller of the transformed monster, and then used firepower to cover and eliminate the controller.

The Custodes and Space Marines were fighting a different enemy so they didn't help, and the Sol System Auxilia didn't need their help either.

The combat capability of the auxiliary army met Qin Xia's expectations.

Seeing that the battle situation on the mortal side was quite stable, Qin Xia looked at the superhuman warriors again.

The Custodes and Thousand Sons Space Marines are dealing with Dark Eldar warriors.

The Dark Eldar warriors wear black armor with spike-like decorations on them. When they fight, these warriors do not look like an army but more like assassins or bandits.

The Custodes fought side by side with the Thousand Sons who could use psychic powers. They were not evenly matched with their opponents, so the battle was a one-sided massacre.

After several unsuccessful assassination attempts, the Dark Eldar retreated and fled deeper into the Webway City.

They also tried to trip each other up while on the run, trying to create trouble for their colleagues, and this behavior was completely unnecessary. They simply took the opportunity to murder each other.

"I thought the enemy was so powerful."

The Sun Lord who commanded the Solar Auxiliary Army smiled and handed over the command task to the staff, casting a contemptuous look at the red dot that was gradually dissipating on the holographic image.

"This is how the Dark Eldar are. If the people in the Webway City were Ark Eldar, we might not be able to defeat them so easily." Qin Xia said.

It was only a matter of time before the battle was over, so Qin Xia stopped paying attention to the holographic image and focused on providing more information to the person in charge of recording.

"The Dark Eldar army is not an army at all, but a marauding group of killers, robbers and scum. At least most of them are like that. Such marauding groups are called cabals."

"The cruel culture of the survival of the fittest and winner takes all prevails in the Dark Eldar society, which causes them to distrust each other. Therefore, after a setback in battle, their morale will inevitably drop sharply, and they may even flee."

"But the Dark Eldar are quite powerful individually. Ordinary troops must not take them lightly when they encounter them."

"In addition, in every previous battle between humans and Eldar aliens, the psionic spells used by the aliens often caused us huge casualties. But when dealing with the Dark Eldar, we don't have to worry about psionic spells. They don't use psionic spells."

After Qin Xia finished speaking this information, he watched the officer in charge of recording close the data board, and then asked him: "How do you tell whether the opponent is an Ark Eldar or a Dark Eldar?"

"Depending on their appearance, sir," the officer replied. "Their armor is black, usually with spikes, and their skin is probably pale... This is my conclusion based on the information you gave me and my own observations."

"Very correct." Qin Xia smiled and patted the officer on the shoulder to show encouragement.

The battle within the Webway cities was completely one-sided, but the war was still extremely crucial because it was the first formal battle between humanity and the Dark Eldar.

This alien had clashed with humans before, but it only plundered some border worlds. The garrisons of those border worlds had not received systematic training and were unable to find out more information. Moreover, due to the unstable navigation in the subspace, the information could not be transmitted to the top leaders of the empire.

The information that humans can gather in this battle is crucial.
