Chapter 726: Having trouble sleeping and eating

To say that the Infinite Chapter did not feel that the Dark Eldar were targeting them would be somewhat inaccurate.

They just don't have definite evidence, have some doubts, and are not quite sure.

After all, isn't it common for the Dark Eldar to engage in looting?
It wasn't just the merchant ships from the Infinite Star Domain that were attacked, there were other merchant ships as well. The attacks didn't necessarily take place in the Infinite Star Domain, or even in the surrounding areas, but those merchant ships were attacked as soon as they set out.

Is this definitely directed at me?

Of course, they came to their senses after a long time.

No matter what the Dark Eldar's goal is, at least the final result shows that the Infinite Star Domain suffered a great loss and their development was greatly affected.

Although it was not completely cut off from the outside world, foreign trade required a lot of effort and a large number of troops were mobilized to carry out escort missions.

The efficiency of trade and transportation depends on safety.

The situation is so unstable that there is a chance of being robbed, which means that a large number of caravans that pursue profits, have a low tolerance for losses and a relatively low ability to resist risks will simply give up the idea of ​​doing business with the Infinite Legion.

Those who are able to successfully conduct business will also need to invest more costs in security protection.

More escort fleets may even require the Infinite Regiment to frequently dispatch and provide personal protection.

This undoubtedly reduces efficiency and increases trade costs.

The development of the Infinite Star Domain has suffered some setbacks.

Of course, it is definitely not enough to rely solely on this strategy to inflict a real blow to the Infinite Star Domain.

But it doesn’t matter, this is just one of the means.

There are many other arrangements.

The reason why Xernos came to the Spider Web Universe, which he had never been to before, was because the Alliance wanted to do business with the Infinite Star Domain here.

It seems to be on a large scale, and stable connections will be established in the future.

Is that okay?

The Dark Eldar's raid will naturally spread to the Spider Web Universe.

However, what was a little unexpected was that the alliance’s reaction speed was... a little too fast.

Xernos is an experienced raiding captain who has robbed many human forces in his life, even some so-called 'big forces'.

Once they succeed, they often have enough time to evacuate quickly with the help of the extremely high convenience and concealment brought by the curtain spirit door.

Then, with the help of lurkers with strong camouflage ability, they continue to gather information in human society. When the limelight has passed, they will come out and do something else.

However, what he didn't expect was that the lurker was caught so quickly!

He made a judgment as soon as he confirmed that the lurkers had lost contact.

Logically speaking, his fellow tribesmen should be very tight-lipped and not afraid of being tortured.

The means that humans have are nothing compared to what his fellows have done with drugs, surgery, and the dual torture of body and soul. In fact, if the means are not up to a certain level, they will regard these pains as enjoyment.

They are not afraid of death. If they die, they will return to Comoros and be resurrected by the Blood Orcs supported by their family. They will only be weak for a period of time.

In this case, if the lurker is caught, there's nothing to be afraid of, right?

Xernos's men thought so. They had planned to continue transporting supplies and prisoners through the Veil Gate at their usual pace, and then to the privateering port of Comoros across the way. They could even hold a ceremony to temporarily expand the Veil Gate so that they could squeeze in a few starships. However, Xernos called a halt to the operation.

He asked everyone to speed up the pace and bring as much supplies as possible, then slaughter the captives on a large scale, absorb their soul energy, and maintain an expanded version of the Veil Gate so that the privateering ships could pass quickly.

Under normal circumstances, the Curtain Spirit Gate is just an original gate with a diameter of several tens of meters. If it is not activated, it will not connect Comoros and the real universe.

Once the system is started normally, the two sides will be connected and people and materials can flow freely.

By temporarily investing a large number of suffering souls, the veil spirit gate can be temporarily expanded to allow the starship to pass through - but it must be fast. If it is slow, the souls will be gradually consumed and the spirit gate will shrink until it is impassable.

The Dark Eldar's own ships are designed to be as slender as possible to facilitate passing through the limited-sized Veil Gates. There is also some technology on board that can expand the Veil Gate in disguise when passing through it, and the shape can also change with the appearance of the starship, and does not have to be a pure circle, which makes their own starships much more passable.

Human ships certainly don't have any special designs in this regard, so to get a human ship of the same specifications as a trophy, it will take a longer time, which is used to carefully kill each person and create enough fear and pain as fuel.

But now, there is no time.

Under normal circumstances, lurkers will not reveal their identities. However, judging from the fact that they were captured so quickly, I'm afraid that humans have mastered some special methods that can quickly identify and find lurkers.

Now that they have this technology, is there any way to quickly pry intelligence out of the lurkers?

He thought it was very likely.

You can't gamble on this kind of thing.

He forced his subordinates to give up everything and just kill people quickly, so that the curtain gate could be expanded to a sufficient degree so that they could evacuate by ship.

But even so, the Alliance fleet arrived before they completed their work.

Xernos' expression remained unchanged as he informed all his subordinates that progress was good and that a faster killing program had been initiated. The door would soon be opened to a sufficient degree. He asked some of his subordinates to go and harass and restrain the human ships.

After forcing out an order to dispatch several privateers, he turned around and fled with the rest of the men, closing the Curtain Spirit Door as well.

All the supplies that had been leaked outside, as well as the people and ships that had not returned, were discarded. At the same time, the possibility of humans chasing in through the Curtain Spirit Gate was also cut off.

It is so decisive.

……

Even though he had achieved victory, Du Shiliang still felt a little dissatisfied.

The looted ships were recovered, but half of the supplies were gone, 80% of the crew died, and those who survived suffered severe mental trauma.

The most important thing is that the annoying black pirate ran away!

Although four privateers were left behind, these four small ships were obviously left behind as cannon fodder. They were not enough to fill the gap in his teeth, and the main force of the black-skinned army escaped under his nose.

All that was left of the curtain gate was 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 Gate in the real universe. After it is destroyed, the Dark Eldar will no longer be able to open this gate - unless they sneak over in the real universe and rebuild this gate.

Hearing the news, Du Shiliang felt slightly relieved.

The recovered ships, supplies, and personnel will be returned to Wang Jiarong; relevant reports will be submitted to the Alliance Government, the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, and copied to all relevant parties.

At least this matter has been explained.

But then he began to have a headache: Who knows how many veil gates the Dark Eldar have built in the entire Spider Web Universe? And where are they located?
If I don’t clean it, I will not be able to sleep or eat well.
