Chapter 71 First sight of Comoros
The fleet soon arrived at the coordinates provided by Lacasse.
A desolate and uninhabited planet of ice and snow far away from the star.
Looking down from the void, the earth's surface is completely white, without any life at all.
The heavily armed gunboat fleet passed through the thick clouds and landed on an ice field.
The ground melted from the heat released by the gunship's engines, creating steam billowing upwards.
But this was short-lived. When the gas rolled up less than two meters, it was frozen again.
The gunboat's body creaked from the cold, and frost quickly covered the frozen hull like a spider web.
When the boarding ladder was lowered, a row of icicles had formed on both sides of the gunboat's wings.
The raven standing on the emperor's shoulder looked at the endless white ice field and took a deep breath.
"It's such a nice planet. When the time comes, we'll catch some black bean sprouts in the Comoros and let them grow potatoes here."
"Can you have any other pursuits?" Waldo asked: "I just think about growing potatoes all day long."
"I also want you to return to Terra to guard the pond."
"Forget it, you should continue to pursue growing potatoes here."
"."
The Emperor ignored Raven and Valdor's daily quips.
Take the Custodes and the Primarch to the solid ice.
"Father, there is nothing here."
said Horus, who came down with him.
"No, there is something." The Emperor pointed to a magnificent ice wall, "There are fluctuations in the highest sky."
"Bring the melt and burn a road out."
The accompanying Custodes faithfully carried out the Emperor's orders.
Huge steam clouds roared into the sky under the irradiation of molten beams.
However, not long after flying, he was frozen again by the severe cold of this world.
After a while, the armor of the Forbidden Army was covered with a thick layer of frost.
"Your Majesty, it's a spiritual bone." A forbidden soldier in the tunnel shouted.
They dug a tunnel of spirit bones that led deep into the ice.
"Inside is the altar that opens the entrance to the Webway." Lacasse said: "As long as it is activated, your fleet can enter the Webway."
The network entrance has permission settings.
Eldar warships have built-in permissions, so they can open Webway portals at will.
Human warships cannot, they have to find the anchor point at the entrance to the Webway.
Use the anchor point to activate the portal of the webway to enter.
Going deeper, the Emperor and his party entered a lost Eldar city.
The magnificent temples were frozen or collapsed.
The lonely statue is covered with frost.
The bones of the dead were scattered everywhere.
Lifeless Eldar ghost machines stood or lay slumped in organic powder and gemstone dust on either side of the road.
There are some twisted undead creatures wandering in the ruins of the city.
They were once the Eldar, but were affected in the Fall of the Eldar. Their souls were sucked away by the Prince of Joy, and they became walking zombies.
The Custodes who activated the genetic engine easily dealt with the undead creatures.
Finally, they reached the deepest part of the city.
There is a majestic altar shaped from spiritual bones.
A faint wave of supreme heaven emanated from the altar.
That is the anchor point for the entrance to the Webway.
The Emperor waved his hand, and the Imperial Guards dragged Larkas and the other Dark Eldar up.
"Open it."
The Emperor looked at Larkas and spoke indifferently.
"Okay, okay."
Lacasse nodded repeatedly, with a very low attitude.
With the Raven threatening to sacrifice him to the Prince of Pleasure, the Haemonculi Master abandoned his former arrogance and dignity.
Choose to be a loyal guide for the empire.
Lacasse lived too long.
It has been so long that I have lost empathy for my fellow humans.
It's been so long that I don't want to die, let alone have my soul sucked away by Slaanesh.
Whether Comoros is destroyed or not has nothing to do with him. Comoros is a ruthless place, and no one will remember those who died to protect it
The only thing those cold-blooded brethren can do is to mock the deceased as a waste.
Several Dark Eldar headed by Larkas chanted ancient spells around the altar and guided the energy in the ruins to charge the altar.
The runes around the altar were lit up one by one, and they were floating in the air as if they had come alive.
The air erupted with waves of surging psychic energy.
Dark purple light mixed with flames and thunder gathered above the altar, forming a pillar of light that rose into the sky.
The beam of light tore apart the fragments of reality, forcibly opening the gap between reality and illusion.
The Imperial fleet in orbit around the planet observed a huge gap in the void.
The edge of the crack is a dazzling golden light, and in the middle are purple paradox lights and white etheric arcs.
That is the entrance to the Webway.

It is like a devil's eye embedded in time and space, giving people a creepy feeling.
The entrance is large enough to accommodate a fleet of ships.
After activating the altar, the Emperor and others quickly evacuated the ruins and returned to the Emperor's Vision in a gunboat.
The fleet set sail again and entered the Webway along the entrance to the Webway.
The webway is very wide inside and shrouded in a strange mist.
The Emperor looked through the observation window and observed the webway intently.
This was the technology he once wanted to gain for humanity.
Once the Webway is obtained, humans will have a low-cost and efficient means of faster-than-light flight.
Will get rid of dependence on subspace.
Nowadays, web channel technology is no longer your only choice.
Although the Webway was no longer the key to saving humanity, the Emperor did not give up on the idea of building it.
After all, it is a one-time investment and permanent benefit project.
Moreover, the existence of the webway can also filter the etheric power pouring into the real universe.
The location of Comoros is very secretive.
It is impossible for ordinary people to find it.
Fortunately, the Empire has Lacasse to lead the way.
Under the guidance of Larkas, the imperial fleet passed through the intricate network and reached the outskirts of Comoros.
Although Comoros is only a Webway city, its scale is beyond imagination.
Countless ports, ramps and hidden pipelines connect huge space cities and spaceships and satellites together.
The city was also surrounded by a large number of client kingdoms.
These client kingdoms are where the Dark Eldar conduct their foul rituals and hatch their evil plans.
They originated in the chaotic era before the Fall of the Eldar.
At that time, the Pleasure Cult had just become popular, and the nobles were building their own private kingdoms in the Webway.
Used to perform various dark rituals and indulgent entertainment.
Two huge black suns hover above Commorragh, surrounded by countless Webway portals.
The spiers of the magnificent towers bound fireballs.
Those fireballs are dying stars.
Stolen from the Void and trapped by the Dark Eldar with mysterious technology to serve as the city's energy source.
The appearance of the Human Empire fleet quickly aroused the vigilance of the guards.
The weapon system is activated and the protective shield is opened.
Dozens of wraithbone battleships opened up their spiked bone sails and approached, their muzzles flashing with light, clearly ready to fire.
Just as the swords were tense, Lacasse's voice reached the leader of the wraithbone battleship.
"Do you want to taste the torture of the Haemonculi? Idiot."
"Open your eyes and see who I am. I am Larkath, the most feared Haemonculi of Commorragh."
"Remove the alert immediately and let me in, otherwise you can wipe your neck. That may save you a little pain."
With the knife at his neck, Larkas yelled frantically at the Comorran guards.
The guards suddenly panicked when they heard Lacasse's voice.
The most terrifying hemorrix master in Commorragh, this title alone can scare countless people.
If you offend the other party, death is considered the greatest mercy.
"Turn off all weapons, open the shields, and allow Master Larkas to enter the port."
