Chapter 56 The war begins
The senior generals and officers of the expeditionary force gathered in the strategy hall of the Emperor's Vision.
The generals of the auxiliary army, the fleet commanders and captains, the knights of the Knights' Court, the high-ranking pilots of the Titans, and the envoys from the surrendered galaxies.
They were seated in seats surrounding the command console according to their positions.
Sitting at the front were the emperor and several commanders of the expeditionary force.
The Primarchs are in the row behind.
They are still learning and do not have the qualifications to be independent.
Once everyone had arrived, the Emperor ordered the received message to be played.
The hum of the projection machinery sounded, and a small, bright beam of light shot into the air.
Intertwined with each other, they outline a shining sphere.
There was a flood of numbers and codes.
The holographic ball spread out and turned into a giant screen suspended in mid-air.
The screen shook, the picture was dim, and sometimes there were rapid breathing and footsteps.
It seemed like someone turned on the video recording device while running.
The harsh sound of laser guns cutting through the air rang out in the distance, mixed with various shouts.
"You guys leave quickly."
"The first team stayed to intercept the enemy."
"Please, take me with you."
"For the Emperor, for the Empire."
"Humanity will win."
"They are coming and we have no way to escape."
The sound of footsteps became fewer and fewer, and those traveling with him either stayed where they were to block the enemy, buying time, or ran away.
In the end, only the person who recorded the video was left.
The person filming the video ran into a cabin with communication equipment and immediately closed the blast door.
The sound of mechanical gears sounded, and the heavy explosion-proof door fell and was locked.
The person recording the video found a console and placed the device on it.
A male face with a mechanical prosthesis appears in front of the camera.
The man was nervous, his body shaking from excessive fear and violent movements.
He straightened his appearance and stood up straight.
Facing the camera, he made an eagle salute gesture.
"Loyal to the Emperor, loyal to Mankind."
"This is a killing, a war."
"They claim that they are from the Comoros and that we are the target of their hunting trip."
"The Empire's soldiers resisted bravely, but were no match. They were brutally killed and their bodies were desecrated in an outrageous way."
"Their methods are extremely cruel, like a group of twisted murderers."
At this time, the sound of metal tearing was heard, and the enemy outside the cabin was trying to force the door.
The man turned around and looked at the blast door, his voice filled with fear.
"They know I'm here, they're coming."
The man pulled out a pulse laser pistol and checked the battery.
"I may be the last living person on the Starry Sky Hope. The battle fleet has collapsed and has become the enemy's prey."
"I heard that several starships escaped into the galaxy. There may be survivors."
"No matter which fleet receives this message, please come and rescue those survivors, or end the madness here."
boom!
A loud voice sounded.
The thick explosion-proof hatch was cut open.
Several tall Eldar warriors wearing streamlined black armor, scarlet cloaks behind their backs, and holding sharp long blades walked in.
Even if it's just a video, people can feel the blood and cruelty exuded by these Eldar warriors.
"Go to hell." The man suppressed his fear and shot the aliens with his gun.
But the opponent's speed was astonishingly fast.
Lasers as scarlet as rubies streaked through the air, but they were all dodged.
Weird laughter echoed in the cabin.
The Dark Eldar warriors mocked the man's folly.
Uh-huh!
The cold sword light sounded in the dim cabin.
The man's hand holding the gun was severed, blood was spilled, and the severed arm and pistol fell to the ground.
The severe pain made the man howl. Later, he was grabbed by the Eldar warriors.
The last image became blurry and intermittent.
Jumping from frame to frame.
The men were viciously tortured and skinned alive.
The skinless, blood-red body was tied up with barbed chains and hung upside down.
The Dark Eldar regarded him as a plaything and tortured him in extremely vicious ways.
The video speeds up and the man screams.
It took several hours before the man's voice disappeared and he died completely.
The video ends and the screen fades into darkness.
Such a brutal atrocity left everyone involved in the meeting expressing shock and anger.

Coates also reveals a complex meaning.
Witnessing such a bloody and cruel scene gave him a better understanding of how to use fear.
The screen is turned off.
"This is the last message we receive."
The intelligence director, who had a large number of metal prostheses implanted, a bloated body, and several floating skulls connected to his back, walked near the projection table.
The projection screen lit up again and turned into a galaxy strategy map.
"The place where the message was sent is the Antimon galaxy, which is a standard single star system."
"In the Golden Age, it was an interstellar trade hub, and commerce and trade prospered."
"After the Age of Strife came, the Antimon galaxy was fought over by multiple forces and turned into a wasteland."
"But according to the information previously provided by Battle Fleet Group 31, there are still many humans struggling to survive in the wasteland."
"Battle Fleet Group No. 31 was probably attacked by the Dark Eldar when it was trying to recapture the Antimon system."
"The survivors may be trapped in the galaxy and unable to send distress messages. At least so far, no other distress messages have been received."
"."
The intelligence director explained the information about the Antimon system in detail to everyone participating in the meeting.
After everyone understood, the emperor came out.
He didn't need any amplification devices to carry his voice to the most remote corners of the hall so that everyone could hear him.
When he spoke, everyone listened quietly.
"Such crimes cannot be tolerated. No matter who the enemy is, no matter how powerful they are, as long as they regard humans as prey and targets that can be slaughtered at will, then they will have to pay the price."
"The expedition fleet gave up its original plan and instead headed to the Antimon system to rescue the survivors and eliminate the Dark Eldar."
"Terra will also discuss a brand new bill, which will list the Dark Eldar as one of the enemies that must be annihilated by mankind."
"In this galaxy, no race that threatens humanity is allowed to exist. If there is, let it be reduced to ashes in the flames of war."
"Return to your troops and prepare for battle." The Emperor raised his fists and raised his fists. "We will make them pay with blood."
The crowd showed enthusiasm.
When the Emperor raised his fists and shouted, they also raised their arms and shouted that the enemy should pay with blood.
The original bodies also showed excitement and anticipation.
The fighting spirit in his eyes turned into flames, burning brightly.
Ryan and Horus looked at each other, both showing a competitive spirit.
Prepare to overwhelm the opponent with your outstanding performance in this battle and prove that you are the best.
The raven standing on the emperor's shoulder also shouted excitedly.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Cut! Cut! Cut, let us invade Comoros, beat those black bean sprouts with small whips, and send them to the ice and snow world to grow potatoes."
"Big guy, we're going to let Curze take the lead."
"We want those black bean sprouts to know what real fear is."
"Koz, you're going to make those poor people cry like bastards whose toes were stepped on."
Emperor: "."
Waldo: "."
This is the slogan!
Why does it smell like something wrong?
Kurtz was also speechless.
This raven knows how to make the best use of everything and retaliate with tooth!
PS: Feel the fear, midnight has arrived
Curze: "I wonder which one is better, me or Blood Pity?"
