Chapter 726, Having trouble sleeping and eating
It is actually somewhat inaccurate to say that the Infinite Battle Group did not feel that the Dark Eldar were targeting them.
They just don’t have definite evidence, they have some doubts, and they are not sure.
After all, isn’t it common for the Dark Eldar to engage in plunder?
The ones that were attacked were not just merchant ships in the Infinite Star Territory. There were other merchant ships as well. The attacks did not necessarily occur in the Infinite Star Territory, or even in the surrounding areas, but on those merchant ships. When I first set out, I was beaten.
Does this have to be directed at yourself?
Of course, they came around to it after a long time.
No matter what the goal of the Dark Eldar is, at least, the final result is that the Infinite Star Territory suffers a lot, and their development is greatly affected.
Although it is not completely cut off from the outside world, foreign trade requires a lot of effort and a lot of troops are deployed to carry out escort missions.
The efficiency of trade and transportation depends on safety.
The situation is so unstable, and there is a possibility that they will be robbed, which means that a large number of caravans who pursue profits, have a low tolerance for losses, and have a low ability to resist risks will simply give up the idea of doing business with the Infinite Chapter.
The remaining ones that can successfully do business also need to invest more costs in security protection.
More escort fleets will even require the Infinite Chapter to dispatch frequently and personally protect them.
This undoubtedly reduces efficiency and increases trade costs.
The development of Infinite Star Territory has suffered certain setbacks.
Of course, just relying on this strategy to cause a real blow to the Infinite Star Territory is definitely not enough.
But it doesn’t matter, this is just one of the means.
There are many other arrangements.
Zernos will come to the spider web space that he has never been to before, and it is also because the alliance wants to do business with the infinite star realm here.
It seems that the scale is still large, and stable connections will be established in the future.
Is that okay?
The Dark Eldar's attack will naturally reach the Spider Web Universe.
What I didn’t expect was that the alliance’s response speed was... a bit too fast.
Zernos is an experienced plundering captain. He has robbed many human forces in his life, including some so-called 'big forces'.
As soon as they succeed, they often have enough time to evacuate quickly with the help of the ultra-high convenience and concealment brought by the curtain spirit door.
Then, with the help of lurkers with strong disguise capabilities, they continue to inquire about information in human society. Wait until the limelight passes, then come out and do another job.
However, what he didn’t expect was that the lurker would be caught so quickly!
He made a judgment as soon as he confirmed that the lurkers had lost contact.
Logically speaking, his compatriots should be very strict with their mouths, and they are not afraid of being tortured to extract confessions.
With these methods of human beings, it is nothing compared to what those of his kind have accomplished by using drugs, surgeries, and dual torture of body and soul. Even if the means are not to a certain extent, they will regard these pains as enjoyment.
They are not afraid of death. If they die, they will return to Commorragh and be resurrected by the Haemonculi supported by the family. They will only be weak for a period of time.
In this case, the lurker has been caught, so there is nothing to be afraid of, right?
Zernos’ men thought so. They originally planned to continue transporting supplies, transporting prisoners, and sending them into the Veiled Soul Gate and into Comoros on the opposite side according to the inherent rhythm. At the privateering port, you can even hold a ceremony to temporarily expand the Shroud Spirit Gate to accommodate several starships. However, Zernos called a halt to the operation.
He asked everyone to speed up the pace and transport as many supplies as they could, and then massacre the prisoners on a large scale to absorb soul energy and maintain the expanded version of the Shroud Spirit Gate. So that privateer ships can pass quickly.
Under normal circumstances, the Veiled Spirit Gate is just an original gate with a diameter of tens of meters. If it is not activated, it will not connect Comoros and the real universe.
When the routine is activated, the two sides will be connected, and people and materials can travel freely.
Temporarily investing a large amount of painful souls can temporarily expand the Veil Soul Gate to allow starships to pass through - but if it is fast, if it is too slow, the souls will gradually be consumed and the Soul Gate will shrink. Until it is impassable.
The Dark Eldar's own ships are designed to be as slender as possible to facilitate the passage through the limited-sized Veiled Spirit Gate; there are also some technologies on it that can be used when passing through the Veiled Spirit Gate. In a disguised form, the spirit gate is made larger, and the shape can also change according to the appearance of the starship. It does not have to be a pure circle, which makes the passage of their own starship much better.
Of course, human ships will not have any special design in this regard, so it will take longer to open a human ship of the same specifications as a trophy and use it to meticulously kill an individual. Create enough fear and pain to serve as fuel.
But now, there is no time for that.
Under normal circumstances, lurkers will not disclose it, but judging from the fact that the lurkers were captured so quickly, I am afraid that those humans have also mastered some special methods that can quickly Identify and find lurkers.
So since they have this technology, is there any way to quickly pry information out of the mouths of lurkers?
He thinks it is very possible.
You can't gamble on this kind of thing.
He forced his men to give up everything, just to kill people quickly and quickly prop up the curtain spirit gate to a sufficient level so that they could escape on the ship.
But even so, the Alliance fleet arrived before they completed their work.
Zernos's face remained unchanged. He informed all his subordinates that the progress was going well and the faster massacre process had been started. The door would be opened to a sufficient extent soon. He asked some of his subordinates to come forward. To harass and pin down human ships.
After threatening to give the order to dispatch several privateers, he turned around and took the remaining people with him, ran away, and closed the curtain spirit gate.
We don’t want the supplies that were leaked outside, the people who didn’t come back, and the boats. At the same time, it also cuts off the possibility of humans pursuing them through the Shroud Spirit Gate.
Just so decisive.
......
After the victory was achieved, Du Shiliang was still a little confused.
The plundered ship was recovered, but half of the supplies were missing, 80% of the personnel were dead, and the survivors were severely traumatized.
The most important thing is that the nasty black pirate ran away!
Although there were four privateers left behind, these four small boats were obviously thrown down and used as cannon fodder for the rear. They were not enough to fill the gap between the teeth, but the main black-skinned force ran away under his nose.
What is left of the curtain spirit gate is only an arch made of silver-gray metal material with a diameter of 60 meters.
According to the Inquisitors, this is the beacon of the Veil Spirit Gate in the real universe. After destroying it, the Dark Eldar will no longer be able to open this door - unless they sneak over in the real universe. , build this door again.
Hearing the news, Du Shiliang breathed a sigh of relief.
The recovered ships, materials, and personnel will be returned to Wang Jiarong; relevant reports will be submitted to the alliance government, the Ministry of Military Affairs, and copies to all relevant parties.
At least there is an explanation for this matter.
But then he started to have a headache: Who knows how many curtain spirit gates the Dark Eldar have established in the entire spider web universe? And where are they?
If you don’t clean it, you will have trouble sleeping and eating.
