Russell held her waist and raised his head slightly, his cold eyes radiating through the fleet to the end, where the illusory webway suddenly opened up, and the sky reflected the nine planets of the Ophelia galaxy like a mirror. A mobile war building that was larger and more gorgeous than the previous Bone Fortress that blocked the road took root there, like a tower, like an ancient tree, with dense branches swaying slowly.

"I said, it's over now," Russell said softly.

"Lord, Master...no, don't...please...don't do that..." Rivagaren pleaded pitifully.

Before he finished speaking, the mirror reflecting the stellar bodies in the sky above the wide Webway node went out, and in the darkness, something darker than darkness descended.

"After all, I am still one step ahead of you." Russell exhaled softly, not knowing who he was talking to.

Under the pitch-black mirror, the giant tree of spirit bones withered and died. As the Ophelia node turned into a psychic forbidden area, the mirror between them also quietly melted like ice.

There was no fighting, no killing, no steel torrents and artillery bombardments, nothing, the war was over.

The Dark Eldar Archon 'Flask' who was in charge of commanding this battle did not get an exit worthy of his status. He died in his magnificent fortress in a meaningless massacre along with the lowest-level modified war beasts outside the city wall.

Skipping the siege and siege stages, Russell fast-forwarded the progress bar of the Ophelia node battle to its fall.

This is right and reasonable. Any delay of even one more second would be suspected of deliberate procrastination.

……

In the real universe separated from the Ophelia node by a veil, the master hovering in the orbit of the Ophelia star synchronously observed the changes on the other side of the curtain.

Gray Wind took a look at the mirror below that had turned dark, activated the thrusters at the tail of the Overlord, turned around and headed downwards.

"The node seal has been lifted. Beginning to sink."

Soon, the Overmind descended into the Ophelia Webway node, and Russell returned to the Overmind to reunite with Grey Wind.

Gray Wind began to prepare the next attack plan: "Next, we should confirm the location of Comoros. The situation in the webway is complicated. It is easy to get lost without a professional guide..."

"That's not necessary," Russell said.

"Hey?" Gray Wind was puzzled: "What should we do then?"

"Don't think, don't have any strategies, don't waste time, just use the fleet to fill up the webway." Russell said: "From now on, don't think about choosing the right one from several forked roads, everything comes first - all roads, we will take all roads."

"But the resources consumed in this way are too..." Grey Wind wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Russell.

"It doesn't matter how many resources are spent, I demand that Comoros be fast-forwarded to destruction in the shortest possible time at all costs."

"Oh..." Huifeng had no choice but to agree, wondering if something had stimulated him.

From this moment on, the Order of Truth began its violent and exhausting exploitation of the Far Eastern star region.

The efficiency of the matter decompressor in extracting resources from the black hole can no longer meet the war needs of filling the network on the front line. The monks began to use colossi to shatter planets and release swarms of nanoworms to eat up the burning residue.

Transform stable stars into furnaces to smelt huge amounts of minerals at once.

Directly detonate unstable stars and use the energy pulses generated by supernova explosions to penetrate special crystals used to assemble laser weapons.

Every day, a star disappears from the galaxy forever due to over-exploitation. Every day, tens of thousands of warships head to the battlefield and plunge into the webway.

However, Russell still felt that such efficiency was not enough. It was as if the god of death was chasing him from behind, urging him to speed up. There was no limit to his pursuit of efficiency, forcing the monks under his command to burn the starry sky even more frantically.

As time went by, the vastness of the Webway system exceeded everyone's imagination. Even a computing power as powerful as Grey Wind could not count how many warships they had sent into the Webway over the years. The number of fleets that had strayed into a dead end and never returned was countless.

No one knows how many stars the Order of Truth has detonated, how many celestial bodies have been drained, and how much of the starry sky has become permanently silent.

In the 40th year of the 030th millennium, the starlight in the Far East star field finally dimmed to its limit.

In this year, except for the few inhabited star systems, there was no bright star to be found in the entire northern star belt.

It was also in this year that, under the Federation's frantic burning of production capacity, the coordinates of Comoros were finally successfully locked by a destroyer formation.

"It's all right." Russell said after Grey Wind sent another Titan battle group into the webway: "Notify the engineering department to stop building ships. The battle is over."

"Is it over?" Huifeng felt that he could no longer understand what he was saying. "We have only discovered the coordinates of Comoros, and have not yet started the formal attack..."

"Found, destroyed," Russell said. "The moment the coordinates of the Comoros were revealed, it was destroyed."

As he spoke, Russell's body became illusory and he entered the webway directly through a teleportation spell.

Chapter 305: Space-Time Amber

Comoros is the largest and most important node city in the entire Webway system, and the central hub of the Webway transportation of the Ancient Eldar Empire. Due to its so important position, no faction within the Eldar Empire wants to see it controlled by any other faction.

Thus, the Comoros eventually took control of themselves, and were granted full autonomy by the Eldar Council of the time.

Because it is not supervised by the Eldar Council, Comoros has attracted a large number of lawless people who are active in sensitive areas or dangerous elements who do not want their actions to be known by others to hide there, hence the name of the Dark City.

However, although it is called a "city", Commorragh is not actually a whole city, but a large collective system composed of multiple Webway ports, private territories, satellite areas... It even includes stars that are pulled into the Webway by the Eldar using magic to provide power for the Dark City.

The various components of the Comoros system may be thousands or even tens of thousands of light years apart from each other in the physical universe, but are loosely connected by the nature of the webway system across time and space, and the concept of their existence is very ambiguous.

Because of this loose nature, it is almost impossible for the outside world to capture the entire Comoros system. Even if the main city area, which was the former port, is really lost, the large number of edge subsystems distributed throughout the galaxy are enough to make any military general overwhelmed.

But Russell was not among them.

In the wide webway, countless starship battle groups densely occupied all available space. Main battleships, rarely seen in the human empire, were operating in units of 'hundreds of thousands' and in battle groups. Under the command of the Grey Wind Main Consciousness, they went from various forks to destroy all known subsystems of Comoros.

As for the main urban area of ​​Comoros, Russell is personally responsible for it.

This made the officers who were ordered to assemble a little nervous.

"To attack the main city of Comoros, do we really not need to summon more fleets? We have enough troops... perhaps more than enough."

The captain of a Titan ship raised his head slightly and looked up at the Star-Bomber sitting in the main seat, and suggested: "Even if we deploy 1 million starship battle groups to every known subsystem of Comoros to ensure victory, we are still able to ensure that tens of billions of starships can be sent to the sky above the main city of Comoros, but why..."

Why did Russell only mobilize less than a thousand Titans for this general attack?

This is too little...

The number of ships owned by the Federation is no longer in the billions. In fact, even Grey Wind doesn't know how many ships Anti-Entropy has built over the years, which is beyond her statistical limit. The only thing that is certain is that the number of controlled starships now needs to be measured in "hundreds of billions" to be more conservative.

This is a rough statistic that does not include those starships that ran into dead ends and got lost in the warp while exploring the Webway.

"One thousand Titans is indeed a little too few, but it is barely enough to deal with Comoros." Russell said: "Before you came, you should have contacted the engineering department, right?"

"That, indeed, happened." Another officer thought for a moment and gave an answer: "After locking the network coordinates of the main city of Comoros, the Engineering Department urgently recalled a batch of large ships to work overnight, and installed a large module called the 'Omega Synchronization Device' on the bridges of about 1000 Titan ships..."

"So it's not that I don't want to mobilize more fleets to attack Comoros, but even if the efficiency of the engineering department is squeezed to the limit, it can only complete the modification of 1000 Titans."

There were still puzzled looks on the faces of the officers below the stage, but Russell did not give any further explanation. He just said, "Only Titans that have completed the modification are eligible to participate in this mission. You only need to know this. Don't let me hear you ask me any more questions. Now, let's go." Then he left.

On the way to board the ship, Gray Wind followed Russell and asked in confusion, "They are all confused about the current situation. Why don't you explain to everyone the specific effect of the Omega Synchronization Device? At least let the captains know what they are going to do?"

"No, it saves time." Russell said as he walked, "First, the principle of the Omega synchronization device is not something that should be made public. Now is not the time to test the officers' independent thinking ability. They just need to do what I say and don't think too much about the rest."

"But if we act without a clear goal, it will cause instability in the army's morale, right?" Gray Wind touched his lips with one hand and said softly, "Even the most loyal soldiers will easily waver when they are sent by their superiors to carry out a mission with an uncertain outcome."

"Kill those who waver."

"Okay~" Huifeng nodded. She also thought this was the simplest way.

A thousand Titans equipped with Omega synchronization devices and an escort fleet crossed the webway and arrived in the vicinity of the core main city of Comoros.

The Dark Eldar, knowing that their coordinates had been exposed, remained on high alert, and the Titan formation was discovered almost as it approached.

Comoros was ready for all-out war, but unexpectedly, the human fleet with superior firepower did not act in a cluster, nor did it approach the giant dark city entity.

The Titans and their respective escort ships spread out in all directions, each taking their positions according to the coordinates that had been determined long ago, forming a three-dimensional encirclement that encompassed the entire main urban area.

"Six years is enough time for Comoros to revive a large amount of the ancient heritage of the Eldar Empire. If we attack rashly, we will pay a huge price, so we should avoid head-on conflict and solve them remotely." This is what Russell said to the captains before the war.

After hiding in a defensive posture for a while, the Dark Eldar in the city discovered that this ridiculously large fleet did not seem to intend to actively attack them. Instead, reports of attacks came in from various subsystems of Comoros, which made the Archons in the city realize that something was wrong.

"Are you planning to cut off our communication with the outside world by besieging the main city, and then sending another army to take over the peripheral subsystems that have lost the support of the main city? The human commander's decision is rational..." The Dark Eldar archon thought he saw the logic of the federal fleet's actions.

Then the next response is also very simple.

"Activate the Spear of Orkos and prepare to break through the encirclement!"

At the Archon's command, an elite guerrilla fleet was quickly assembled, carrying precious ancient relics waiting to be activated, and rushed straight to the giant human ship hanging high in the sky, blocking the Dark City.

The forbidden weapons inherited from the heyday of the Eldar were certainly extremely dangerous, and the Dark Eldar's small guerrilla fleet was moving quickly enough, but at this moment, in the eyes of the Federation Navy sailors on the Titan Fortress, the movements of this fleet were extremely slow.

So slow... that one can see with the naked eye the trajectory of flames rising from the tail of the Wraithbone Battleship.

"Comoros' time flow continues to slow down. Everything is normal. Very good. The Omega Synchronization Device remains on."

An order was passed between the commanders of the warships: "Let us freeze the main city area of ​​the Dark City into a huge piece of space-time amber."

But the bugs in the amber know nothing about this.

Chapter 306: The Great Rip

If you ask what are the representative achievements and highest technological achievements of the Golden Age of human civilization, different people will give different answers.

Some high-level mechanical sages who disagree with the Crimson Protocol may say that it is a strong artificial intelligence with the ability of self-evolution, while small sects that worship technology itself and the sanctity of machinery believe that it is a groundbreaking STC standard construction template.

The army of iron men, genetic technology, black hole generators, paradoxical weapons that annihilate the essence... There are so many brilliant technological products in the Golden Age that it is dazzling.

If Russell had to pick one piece of technology to judge the Golden Man’s crowning achievement, her answer would be: time weapons.

The 'Golden Age' that later generations refer to was actually originally called the 'Technological Dark Ages'. During the long period from the 15th to the 25th millennium, humans worshipped 'technology' itself as a god. They firmly believed that technology was omnipotent, and time weapons were born at that time.

The Golden Age of Humanity and the heyday of the Ancient Eldar Empire overlapped for a long time. During this long period of time, the pleasure-indulged Eldar were still the absolute masters of the galaxy, but humans continued to expand in the starry sky with their omnipotent technology.

Is it because the aging Eldar Empire was merciful and gave humanity the land under the stars that humans have left their footprints across the galaxy?

no.

This is because humans themselves have become so powerful that even the almighty Eldar Empire cannot stop them.

The powerful weapon that can play with time at will is one of the means that humans rely on to fight against the Eldar.

"Our ancestors once used large-scale time travel to counter the prophecies of the Eldar prophets, but now we are doing it more directly."

He stood in the central control room of the Titan ship Pot of Greed, staring at the almost solidified dark city below.

"It's time to let them see the most authentic human technology."

Russell said, "It would also let these self-righteous little guys know that it's not just the Eldar who can rely on ancient heritage to survive."

His light voice fell heavily, and below the Titan, in the space-time barrier constructed by 1000 Titan Omega synchronization devices "The Principle of the Ring", Comoros stopped operating.

The Eldar guerrilla fleet carrying the ancient relic 'Spear of Orkos' froze in mid-air, and the lavender tail flame behind the wraithbone warship stopped sublimating.

The dark city, Comoros, has fallen.

This vital Webway node city was solidified into a huge piece of space-time amber in the static space and time, and the Dark Eldar's base camp has since become a collection of the Star-Ballers.

"Surprisingly there were no accidents...it went so smoothly." Huifeng breathed a sigh of relief.
