Chapter 935, City of Curtains
The dark elves' methods are somewhat strange.
They spread out and completely surrounded the battlefield, not for any military considerations at all, nor did they intend to do anything to take advantage of the situation.
They just wanted to deploy the magic circle while the human expeditionary force was concentrating on dealing with the invading demon army.
In the entire encirclement, every dark elf ship is a node on the magic circle.
Once they fully deploy the magic circle, the entire area within their encirclement will be cut out, separated from the subspace, and pulled into the curtain of reality.
That is the gap between the warp and the real universe, and is the location of Commorros, the nest of the dark elves.
In the warp, it was difficult for the dark elves to gather enough strength to defeat the human expeditionary force head-on. But in their lair, it was different. They had many ways to deal with it.
Maybe the population of the Dark Elves themselves is not enough, but they have been engaged in piracy for many years, and the countless slaves they have plundered from other races are the best cannon fodder. With those slaves, even the Dark Eldar have the capital to use the human wave tactic!
The premise is that the battlefield is in Comoros.
They are doing it now.
Robert looked tired, but his eyes were determined.
He no longer worried about the reliability of the intelligence.
During the entire Terra expedition, the two psychic masters, Terriot and Gu Jing, provided a lot of advice and helped the expedition team overcome many difficulties. Robert trusted them very much. During the entire expedition, he was of course the absolute core, but he could not ignore the help of the two psychic masters.
He issued one order after another in an orderly manner.
The entire fleet began to speed up. The Infinite Regiment and its many sub-regiments changed their previous relatively conservative, low-cost fighting style and began to become fierce. The Grey Knights were dispatched to kill the important units of the demons.
At the same time, a considerable number of fleet forces quickly prepared themselves, changed course, and in the blink of an eye they were divided into several vanguard arrows.
The human fleet, which seemed slow, old, and exhausted from the long expedition, became sharp in the blink of an eye!
It seemed like an engine that had been sealed for a long time, but in fact its interior was still intact. As long as oil was added and instructions were given, the roar of the explosion was still deafening!
While the human army was dealing with the demons, they were still able to split up multiple forces, targeting several important nodes of the space-cutting array formed by the dark elves.
The dark elves' fleet was too scattered, and the troops at each node were not sufficient. Although the humans also had to deal with demons and were also dividing their forces, they were still too concentrated compared to the dark elves who had to maintain the entire large-scale magic circle.
However, Gu Jing and Theriault were still worried.
They raised a question to the Son of God that deserves attention: the dark elves' space cutting array does not have to keep every node to be effective. In a limited time, a certain number of nodes must be destroyed, otherwise the final result will not change, and the array will still take effect.
The Son of God nodded to indicate that he understood, but the order remained unchanged.
He also patiently gave explanations and reasons:
After the dark elves' fleet showed up, he had been observing and analyzing these uninvited guests. The deployment of the dark elves' forces was very clear in his mind.
At the same time, he was well aware of his own military strength.
Before the battle began, he had already determined that if he launched an all-out attack and divided the fleet into pieces like the dark elves and attacked every node at the same time, it would not be impossible, and the relatively large losses could be ignored, but... the time consumed would not be short.
This is because the pressure on the dark elves at each node will be greatly reduced, and when they are defending, the speed at which the nodes are eliminated will also be greatly increased.
It will take the human side quite some time to destroy all the nodes.
Robert calculated that if they fought in that manner, they estimated it would take thirty-nine hours to destroy all the nodes.
But here comes the contradiction - according to Gu Jing and Theriault's analysis, the dark elves will be able to complete their magic circle within eight hours.
The time difference is almost five times that of the original time, which cannot be made up in any way.
But fortunately, it is not necessary to destroy all the nodes of the magic circle, which is equivalent to annihilating all the dark elf troops to be considered successful.
As long as enough magic array nodes are destroyed within these eight hours, the entire dark elf array will collapse.
But the problem is that even Gu Jing and Theriault could not figure out where the critical point that would cause the dark elves' magic circle to collapse was.
What can Robert do?
He could only adopt a tactical plan that could destroy enough nodes within eight hours.
This is it right now.
The human fleet, twisted into a dozen fists, destroyed a dozen nodes with overwhelming force. Then, they immediately divided their forces and attacked the surrounding areas with the nodes they had captured as the center.
Every attack target has been calculated by Robert. As long as it can be captured within the scheduled time, the troops can be quickly dispatched to other places to achieve the highest efficiency in annihilating those dark elf nodes.
Since we don't know how many nodes we need to destroy, we can just follow the eight-hour limit and destroy as many as possible.
However, the final result was not good.
By the seventh hour, the human fleet had destroyed sixty-one nodes, approximately one-sixth of all the dark elf formation nodes.
However, the magic circle was successfully activated, and it was still an hour earlier than Gu Jing and Theriault estimated.
Robert, wearing the Armor of Destiny and holding the Sword of the Emperor, saw this scene when he pulled the blade out of the chest of a dark elf archon.
It seemed that nothing could move this Son of God, who was known for his rationality, not even this scene.
From the observation window of the enemy ship he had landed on, he saw the process of an entire subspace being cut.
It was as if there was a huge film that covered the battlefield where humans and demons were previously located, as well as the dark elf node areas, including those destroyed nodes.
Then, the film expanded violently to both sides, and the area where they were located was cut apart.
This is just a tiny area in the subspace that is as vast as the universe, but it is enough to encompass the entire human expeditionary force, including the elite army of the dark elves.
The cut area collapsed inward quickly. Robert saw the bizarre scene outside the window changing rapidly and the entire ship was shaking.
By the time people were able to stand again, the scenery outside had completely changed.
It was no longer the ominous, colorful appearance of the Warp, but a peaceful black and blue.
In the dim light, you can see a magnificent building complex filled with various tall towers in the distance.
That should be the Dark Eldar’s lair, the City of Veil - Commorragh.
