Chapter 934, Please Come to Comoros as a Guest

A large army of dark elves appeared in the warp.

Although this army was not as large as the Terran Expeditionary Force assembled by Robert, it was still comparable to the Dark Eldar in terms of size, even if it did not represent the full strength of the Eldar.

In terms of numbers, that's definitely far from a complete mass exodus.

They can't do it either.

The Dark Eldar need to use a special technology of theirs, consuming enormous amounts of energy, to conceal the souls of all Eldar members in order to hide from the Slaanesh in order to fight in the Warp.

The energy consumption is enormous. The Dark Eldar have used their most treasured resources, with countless compressed energy crystals powering this shielding system, but the number of people it can shield is still limited.

This means that although they can mobilize a considerable number of people overall, they cannot afford to waste a single one, let alone bring along a lot of cannon fodder.

Their appearance on the warp battlefield coincided with a demonic army's raid on the Terra Expeditionary Force.

The Dark Eldar did not rush into the battlefield. Their entire fleet dispersed and surrounded the battlefield in a special formation.

Front, back, left, right, up, down... In this three-dimensional space, it was impossible for the Dark Eldar fleet to achieve a complete encirclement.

Even if the blockade is completed, it will be very weak. Once the demons and humans on the battlefield decide the victor—and it seems the Terran Expeditionary Force will be the victor—and they want to break out, the encirclement formed by the dark elves will be meaningless and will crumble at the slightest push.

The dark elves, who suddenly appeared at the edge of the battlefield, were naturally spotted by the human fleet. However, through observing their strange movements, Robert could also see that the enemy's blockade was actually meaningless and could not effectively shut them down.

However, he also knew that these dark elves who had taken such a huge risk to enter the warp were definitely not there for sightseeing.

He was wary of these dark elves, but since their actions wouldn't affect the human fleet for the time being, he decided to ignore them for now. The higher priority was dealing with the demons currently entangled with them.

In the warp, the demons didn't even need warships. They swarmed in, transforming from formless to visible, indiscriminately attacking every ship. Giant cannons were largely ineffective in such battles, unless locked onto a single, powerful demon and unleashed a devastating blow. Generally, against a vast number of demons, even a single, powerful cannon shot, whether a macro cannon or a light spear, was of little use.

On the contrary, missile weapons would be more effective.

However, during their long journey through warp space, they experienced numerous battles, resulting in significant consumption of various types of ammunition. Even with the presence of the Mechanicus's mechanical arks and small engineering vessels within the fleet, and various mechanical workshops capable of reproduction, raw materials remained a problem. Although they carried a number of transport ships with materials, they could only rely on cleaning up the battlefield and recycling metal scraps after battles to reuse them, making their replenishment methods extremely limited.

Overall reserves of various materials are at a dangerous level.

They had to let the enemy in as much as possible, inside the ships, and then rely on the Space Marines and mortal soldiers inside to fight these demons in a brutal battle with their own flesh and blood.

But this also causes damage.

The ammunition used by soldiers is also consumed, as are the casualties of soldiers. The battle takes place inside the ship, and the damage caused to the ship requires repairs, which also consumes resources.

To be honest, if it weren't for Robert, this son of God, the human expeditionary force would have been wiped out long ago. Among the many sons of God ten thousand years ago, Robert was not known for his martial prowess, nor even for his military leadership abilities.

He was a civil servant, and his greatest fame came from his strategic acumen and his ability to manage political and economic affairs.

Even so, compared to Martins, the 'mini-prime' created by Gu Hang, their combat strength is probably about the same, 60/40 – Robert 6. In terms of campaign command ability, 80/20 – Robert 8. In terms of strategic ability and leadership in political and economic aspects, 100/00 – Robert 10.

Robert is superior in every aspect; he outperforms Martins even in his 'weak' areas, let alone in his 'strong' areas.

Unfortunately, Robert's most outstanding political and economic leadership skills could not be put to use here, but his management abilities were still useful.

If one is not a good leader, how could one not only maintain the fleet's existence and prevent it from disintegrating during the arduous and dark years of subspace voyages and expeditions, but also keep the soldiers, warriors, and sailors in high spirits?
His above-average battle command ability, compared to all the Sons of God, allows him to minimize his own losses in almost every battle while securing victory, thus ensuring the long-term operation of the entire fleet.

The same principle applies to the current battle.

Defeating the invading demons is not difficult, but the challenge lies in minimizing losses.

This requires Robert to perform meticulous operations continuously.

This time, however, he couldn't completely ignore the dark elves standing nearby, doing something inexplicable.

Robert, who had diverted some of his strength to keep an eye on them, instinctively felt uneasy and decided to expend a little more energy this time to speed up the elimination of the demonic enemies in front of him.

Otherwise, it's hard to say what might happen next.

Soon, someone came and reported to him what the dark elves were doing.

That's Gu Jing.

The son of the Alliance leader, a psionic master, along with Terriot, the chief curator of the Infinite Chapter's think tank, approached him.

"The dark elves are using a special power to cut through this entire warp. They are trying to pull us to a place closer to the real universe."

"Are they going to expel us from the warp? Make us lose our way?" Robert pressed.

Gu Jing said with a serious expression, "I'm afraid it's not just that. They want to cut us into the veil between the subspace and the real universe. That's where their lair is, the Comoros."

"Within the veil, the efficiency of both the subspace engine and the conventional engine will be greatly reduced. They are inviting us to be their guests, and once we go, it will be difficult for us to get out."
