Chapter 957, The Last Chance

Chapter 957, The Last Chance
Viktor quietly stroked the dull sword in his hand.

At this moment, fully armed, he is making final preparations for battle.

Behind him stood a massive army of Dark Eldar, fully prepared and utterly silent.

They were just waiting for the order to send out their entire army.

This is the most elite force that the Dark Eldar could gather in a short period of time.

It could even be said that this is the very foundation of the Dark Eldar.

But not at full strength.

They couldn't muster their full strength either.

Just as humans judged, the Dark Eldar were not defeated at all, and their pleas for peace were merely a preparation for the next phase of the war.

However, prior to that, there was considerable skepticism within the Dark Eldar regarding peace talks.

Peace talks can indeed give one side enough time to prepare, but they can also give humanity a long time to prepare.

Both sides will benefit.

Moreover, it's really hard to say who will benefit more.

The two ports occupied by the alliance will go all out and transport troops to the Comoros without any scruples; among the eight leased ports, it is said that no military transport targeting the Comoros is allowed, but the alliance's small actions are constant, and our side lacks measures to stop and punish humanity, so that the regulations and restrictions are almost empty talk.

In this situation, by the time the Dark Eldar are ready for war, the human side may have become far more troublesome than before.

These concerns are undoubtedly valid.

However, Victor once again defied all opposition.

However, this time it wasn't as easy as before.

He used to be the King of Comoros, a man of unparalleled prestige. But now, after numerous defeats, his prestige, if not crumbling, has at least been greatly damaged. Although people still outwardly fear him, Viktor can already sense a storm brewing over him.

However, his next strategy was quite clever.

Peace talks are not without supporters.

First, win over the supporters, then openly suppress the hawks;

Secretly, he revealed his core plan.

His plan won the favor of forces opposed to peace talks.

The remaining opponents were those who opposed him personally, those who challenged his authority. Faced with these individuals, he revealed a ruthless and cruel side; his efficient internal purge brought a sense of solemnity to the entire Comoros, and his authority was briefly strengthened.

All of this allowed his plan to proceed smoothly.

The so-called plan was to use peace talks to quickly coax the Terra Expeditionary Force away, and then, once they were completely gone, blow up the Veil Spirit Gate located near Holy Terra.

The last few ships of the Terra Expedition that haven't completed their journey will be completely lost.

Of course, this was just a side effect, and the damage to humanity would not be particularly large, amounting to only about one percent of the Terra Expeditionary Force's ships, far from crippling.

Its primary function is to prevent any further human reinforcements from entering Comoros from the direction of Holy Terra.

After taking action, Viktor will personally lead the Eldar forces in a fierce attack on humanity.

In the peace treaty, the Dark Eldar ceded a great deal of benefits. But in reality, if they were only interested in breaking the treaty, then as long as they didn't honor the terms written in black and white, they wouldn't have lost anything.

Looking only at the delivered portion, humanity acquired eight leased ports, but at most they could only secretly transport troops, and couldn't transport many.

The area conquered by humans initially resembled a fist, but later evolved into a network of thin strips to connect the eight leased ports, which clearly benefited the Dark Eldar's offensive.

Most importantly, at this point in time, humanity's strength in the Comoros is at its weakest.

For a full six or seven days, humanity was unable to send reinforcements to the Comoros; instead, they had to withdraw an entire Terran expeditionary force. Their troop strength was reduced by a third.

From this point onward, humanity's influence in the Comoros will gradually increase.

This curve of increasing strength has no upper limit.

While the Comoros, having gained more preparation time, would unleash greater power, Victor calculated that this increase was only at the very beginning. Due to the limited overall size and potential of the Dark Eldar forces, they would soon enter a period of stagnation in their war potential and be overtaken even more quickly.

This is the most panic-inducing and despair-inducing thing.

Does that mean there's absolutely no chance?
not really.

In Viktor's view, the current juncture is a more advantageous one than proceeding with the original plan to use peace talks as a pretext for desperate war preparations.

Although I am not in my strongest form, I have seized the opportunity when humanity is at its weakest.

In Viktor's view, this opportunity was the last chance to turn the tide and save the entire race.

He has to give it his all.

What he brought was the most elite troops, the most advanced technology, and the most powerful combat force of the entire race—that is, himself.

He hadn't taken out that divine sword in his hand for many, many years.

The 'Como Divine Sword' is truly the clan's most prized treasure.

The name Komo was once the name of a god in the Eldar Empire, one face of the Thousand-Faced God.

And the current Gronn is that sword.

It contains the despair and anger left over from the time of the Spirit Race's demise.

When this rage is unleashed, even if the one before him is a true god, Victor dares to fight him.

Even though the cost of using this divine sword is high, it is now something that must be paid.

As a message arrived, Viktor stopped stroking his sword.

At a single command, the entire army launched an attack.

……

The war broke out suddenly, catching both the Eldar and the humans completely off guard.

Viktor also did not expect that the humans, who would have been more advantageous to drag things out, would choose the moment when the Terra Expeditionary Force left, just like him, to launch a fierce attack!

This caused a huge change in the Eldar's entire offensive plan from the very beginning!

Of course, the humans hadn't anticipated the Dark Eldar would launch a surprise attack at this crucial moment, leaving them unprepared for the unexpected assault. Just as the Dark Eldar had planned, humanity's entire defensive line was torn to pieces. Six of the eight concession ports fell suddenly.

However, the human offensive also had a significant impact. Many Eldar forces failed to reach the front lines as expected, as the human forces, who had suddenly penetrated deep into the Comoros, seized their positions and were forced into fierce fighting.

There was no turning back now. Victor had no choice but to overcome all difficulties, carrying the Como Sword and leading his most elite force, resolutely heading straight for the Queen's Rose Harbor.

He wanted to capture the port again, or at least destroy it, to prevent humanity from continuously sending reinforcements to the Comoros.

He is willing to pay any price for this.

Holding the divine sword, he was absolutely confident that he could cut down any enemy who dared to stand in his way.

But when he actually saw Gu Hang descending from the sky, and felt the immense power emanating from the trembling of the Como Divine Sword, he suddenly realized:

So, it really is about to face a true god?
