Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 302 Victor: You plagiarized me?!

However, the Protoss, Zerg, and Rangers are advancing at a considerable pace.

The Zerg are currently acting as a human wall due to their numbers, and are not concerned with the speed of their advance. Instead, they are constantly squeezing the Eldar's living space to ensure that Viktor cannot escape by mixing with other Dark Eldar.

Meanwhile, the rangers in their combat gear rendered the Dark Eldar's poison crystal rifles, which had poor armor-piercing capabilities, largely ineffective.

After the dynasty prospered and became extremely wealthy, four ranger regiments underwent further upgrades and refits.

The two active rangers at this time were exactly like that, their full combat suits made of adamantite painted black.

Although mobility was affected, it was still sufficient to withstand most attacks from the Dark Eldar.

Meanwhile, the Protoss Templars fought against the sorcerers and powerful gladiators amidst the ruins.

This was to prevent these assassination-specialized Dark Eldar from inflicting significant damage on the Rangers' command system.

"Lord, time is of the essence. More and more Eldar warships are approaching. Although our fleet can still maintain the battle line, if we drag this out for too long, any Eldar warship that successfully breaks through and bombs us without regard for the Eldar here could affect our subsequent retreat."

Moreover, according to reports from the captains of the fleet, these Dark Eldar are attempting to surround us.

Damon approached Gao Yi with a slightly nervous expression and said...

He was trying to persuade Gao Yi to return to the warship, saying that they could handle the task of killing Victor, and that Gao Yi's safety was more important than anything else.

"There's still time! Our fleet isn't that fragile, and Norris and his ghosts should be able to find Victor's location soon."

At this moment, even under the protection of his own ruthless conspiracy, Victor's expression was no longer so calm.

Looking at the casualties of the various conspiracies, Victor knew that even if they could withstand this invasion, the core of power in Comoros would undergo a major reshuffle.

Most of the conspirators who were willing to come with him to fight the Zerg were loyal to him.

These conspiracies have suffered losses that have exceeded their limits.

But the Comoros's conspiracy groups don't stop there.

Those who harbor malicious intentions are constantly trying to replace him, especially the remaining old nobles of the Dark Spirit Clan.

He himself used fire lizards to slaughter the original nobles and transformed Comoros into a society ruled by the best, giving the lower-ranking Dark Eldar the possibility of rising in rank.

This touched upon the fundamental interests of those nobles, and Victor even felt that those old nobles, clinging to life, wanted to kill him more than the humans themselves. Or perhaps their presence was part of their scheme?
Victor knew that they hadn't been able to eliminate all the old nobles back then; some had gone into hiding.

Although they have shed their former noble status, they still believe deep down that they are more noble than other members of the Elven race.

The lower-ranking Eldar once didn't even qualify to enter the Comoros Spire district.

They are now secretly supporting some conspiracies, and some of these conspiracies were even secretly established by these old nobles themselves.

Some of the warships that were fighting the monkeys belonged to these people, who were often lurking in the sub-regions outside the main city of Comoros.

Victor even thought that even if they repelled the humans, these warships might bomb his location in an attempt to bury it completely beneath the surface.

He knows these compatriots all too well.

When his subordinates asked him what to do next, he couldn't come up with any way to win.

He initially thought this was an annihilation of the Zerg, but now it seems to be a trap set for him. Gao Yi's fleet invaded and charged directly towards his location without any pause, as if everything was planned. Even the human Primarchs appeared in the enemy's forces.

Viktor now felt that this was a trap set for him by the old nobles, who were imitating his behavior and, like him, using human hands to kill him.

Otherwise, how did humans enter the network?! And how did humans become so clear about their position, with each link connected to the next, as if everything was preordained?

Regardless, what's done is done. He either fights to the last moment or finds a way to evacuate immediately. And without a doubt, the only option now is to evacuate.

Viktor said he was flexible and had done this before.

When Evelynn awakened the power of death and blew up the Gate of Cain, releasing a large horde of demons, Victor also chose to lie low, waiting for things to calm down before emerging to take power again.

Although this would have a serious negative impact on his prestige, he couldn't care less about that at the moment.

He knew the true size of the Comoros; the current human fleet was not yet capable of truly destroying or occupying the Comoros.

If you know it's impossible, why waste your own life force?

As long as he lived, Victor felt that he was fully capable of regaining control of Comoros.

No one knows exactly how many people Comoros has.

Even Victor, the overlord, was unaware that Comoros was a space that stretched almost infinitely.

Every day, tens of thousands of warships of various classes are stationed here. As long as they can get through the initial chaos, they can once again annihilate the human warships, just as they once annihilated the human invasion.

Fleets from other city-states are heading here, and their sheer numbers are enough to overwhelm the intruding humans.

However, many more powerful warships do not remain in the Comoros for long.

To capture more slaves to sustain their lives, numerous conspiracies and pirates are active throughout the galaxy.

It may seem that Comoros is currently under control, but once those people realize that their property in Comoros has been damaged, they will definitely come to deal with these invaders.

But this will take time.

Judging from the power Gao Yi has shown so far, it's impossible for Viktor to win in the ground battles at the lower levels...

The existing social structure of the Dark Eldar, and indeed all Eldar races, makes them fundamentally unsuitable for a head-on, hard-fought battle.

Especially the Dark Eldar, whose intrigue groups are too small. Although many powerful intrigue groups have gathered here, there is no way for them to trust and cooperate with each other.

This means that when facing Gao Yi's attacks, if they find themselves in a disadvantageous position, one conspiracy group will often use another conspiracy group as bait to preserve its own strength.

The betrayal of teammates was a huge blow to morale. Most of the conspiracy groups didn't dare to commit their full strength to the battle, let alone fight humanity to the end. They were too busy protecting themselves from their own teammates.

Some of the conspiracy groups have even begun to retreat.

If these conspiracies were put into direct combat on the battlefield, the former empire would have been able to deal with them without Gao Yi even needing to intervene.

Ultimately, they are still just a bunch of robbers who strike and run.

It is no longer the ancient Ling race empire it once was.

In terms of individual combat strength, although Viktor is a dominant figure, his strength has never been reflected in his personal combat ability. He has personal combat ability to sit in this position, but it is not much.

They relied more on conspiracies, assassinations, and kidnappings.

Even without Felix, Guilliman could have killed him.

"Forget about the other conspiracy groups, gather everyone in our ruthless conspiracy group and evacuate from here!"

"Understood, Lord Victor!"
