……
The generals of the Helka Federation did not wait or negotiate.
They read aloud every crime of the Eldar written in the history record terminal, in every language, in the voice of every race, to let every Eldar on the battlefield know clearly: their day of judgment has come, and the Federation will never accept the surrender of any adult Eldar who has resisted.
The flying troops of space dragons circled in the sky, spewing plasma flames, burning the dragonless fire dragon warriors of the Eldar into ashes.
Human soldiers manipulated intelligent drones and heavy weapons positions, and carried out urbanized warfare tactics. Their defense towers left the Eldar troops, who were good at infiltration, no chance to maneuver.
The Lizardmen, together with the humans, were responsible for debugging the Iron Curtain device, ensuring that the psychic storms created by the Eldar's most dangerous psychic combat units could not harm the important facilities in the forward base: the MCV core. As long as this equipment was not damaged, any armament losses could be compensated in seconds.
Zelvan, the Space Vampires' troops activated a new type of energy-devouring weapon. Inspired by some experimental tank blueprints from the Mo Planet Alliance, the Zelvans' newly developed energy-devouring vehicles can now directly tear off the armor and even weapons of enemy armored units and attach them to their own vehicle units.
The beetle army relied on its own psychic abilities to offset the psychic spells cast by the Eldar war wizards, ensuring that the other side could not use the power of the other world to escape from the physical confrontation with us.
The veteran ethnic groups of other federations, those who were not good at fighting served as support, and those who were good at fighting served as vanguards, all served in the battle of revenge.
The Eldar Rangers' psionic cloaking generators were unable to conceal their presence, and they were exposed by the Reality Stabilization Array and felled by Poison Ivy's sniper fire.
The Eldar Seer attempted to summon a psychic storm, but when she saw Sor'kan casting psychic fire upon the Confederacy troops, it took all her might to prevent herself from being consumed by the Warp Gods.
The souls within the Nether Titan endured the pain of exposure, fighting for future generations, but they were alone. When the power of the psychic shield was exhausted, the long-range firepower of the Helka Federation had already torn through the limbs of the Nether Mech, causing it to scream and shut down.
……
At this time, the Eldar might regret why they did not let the Phoenix Lord (or the expensive sacrifice of Cain's incarnation) lead the team. The situation on the battlefield now does not require any further judgment.
The elite troops of the Ark Eldar are crumbling, their warriors falling in droves, and their weapons and psychic powers, which they are proud of, are completely unable to withstand the wrath of the Federation.
They fell into a state of despair and terror, not unlike those they called monkeys, and only then did the Eldar begin to realize the extent of their sins.
Seeing everything before them, the Ark Eldar warriors felt that they had made a serious mistake. At this time, they were still too concerned about the friendship of their own kind. So they made a quick decision, abandoned all their fellow barbarians, and retreated to the Webway Gate.
Thousands of Eldar warriors evacuated the Webway, ruthlessly leaving the Savage Eldar behind to defend themselves against the enemy, using their lives as a price to buy time to escape.
Eventually, the Ark Eldar survivors fled into the Webway, closing it at the last moment and severing all communication, abandoning the Savage Eldar still trapped there and those Eldar civilians who had not participated in the battle.
They just want to escape.
……
At this moment, the defenders of the wild elves' homes were left with only pale self-mockery. They were more suitable to be clowns.
The Eldar Ranger who had once mocked the Tau Mechas in a magical way fell into a deathly stiffness after seeing the escape of the Ark Eldar. Ashadron, one of the most ordinary citizen soldiers of the Federation, seized the opportunity and swept him away with a tail.
"Pray for yourself if you can't buy your resurrection from those slave traders."
The red dragon roared.
"We are not like the Dark Eldar. That is their crime, not ours."
After crashing through a lot of broken walls and ruins, she fell to the ground dying, and then she distanced herself from her relatives in this way.
"We have never participated in the slave trade. The inhabitants of the First World of Women simply want to be... left alone..."
Her statement was weak.
Mr. Ashadron, the founder of the Helka Federation and an ordinary civilian mobilized soldier who had been out of office for a hundred years, felt that he should laugh when he heard what the other party said.
"It's a pity that Solkan told me that your souls are all so dark. Otherwise, I would have believed your excuses. Your spiritual qualities, similar to those of the lustful demon, force me to deny all your excuses."
"You think you haven't participated in these evil deeds, but your people have never spoken out against them. Your civilization takes pleasure in mocking other species with a clear conscience. You are even more disgusting than the Empire!"
"We found poison stingers among the ruins, the kind slave owners loved to use. So, even if you're happily exchanging goods with those space bandits, you still don't consider yourself an accomplice."
"Enough of that talk. Now you must repay this blood debt and exhaust your imagination of a bad ending."
I wonder if she would think that she should have been less aggressive and simply accepted the Tau's terms.
But that is simply impossible. The Eldar have never cherished the kindness of any species, whether in their heyday or in decline.
……
When everything was over, only the Helka Federation's army and the trembling Tau people remained.
The Tau commanders, expecting a difficult battle, had witnessed the Eldar's crushing defeat firsthand, and their forces remained on high alert, unsure whether the Helkar Confederation would turn its guns against them.
But the Helka Federation army did not continue the attack. Their warriors stood on the battlefield, staring at the Eldar corpses scattered on the ground, silent.
They didn't cheer or celebrate. They just quietly felt that this moment of victory, this revenge spanning generations, was finally completed.
But even the most hateful people have their pitiful side. Why did they let others and themselves fall into this situation?

Chapter 99: The only one among the forces at the table who understands diplomatic rhetoric.
The remaining Eldar members on the planet were quickly rounded up and imprisoned after the Ark Eldar and their own combat forces were annihilated.
This process is even quite dangerous because every member of this species has very strong psychic powers, and an ordinary human can even be hypnotized by looking into the eyes of their young children.
Their appearance, if judged by humanoid aesthetics, would be quite... exquisite, but unfortunately we cannot appreciate it. The torture methods that caused physical discomfort just by looking at them were vividly recorded on the Federation's data terminals, leading to a generally unfriendly attitude among the Federation's founding races towards the Eldar.
However, since we have already struck back with a heavy blow, this matter will be over for the time being. As for the remaining Ada people who did not fight with the Federation, we can forgive them as long as they behave themselves.
Later, according to the interrogation of the captives, they were not the same race as the "Dark Eldar" who loved to plunder slaves, and the two had parted ways tens of thousands of years ago.
Except... they occasionally sell stolen goods to the Dark Eldar, using them to obtain some "precious goods" that the agricultural economy cannot obtain, or some tribesmen who can't stand the loneliness and jump into the webway and enter Comoros to become residents of the big cities...
This is really a lingering connection. Destroying such an Eldar colony is equivalent to clearing out a potential population base for slave owners. There is nothing to regret.
Anyway, they're just extremely xenophobic and corrupt entities that don't expand. Although we haven't found them summoning demons yet, according to the Mecha God, they are indeed like the hedonistic cults, with their spirits marked by malicious entities. What the hell is this...
After giving the "bean sprouts" mentioned by the green-skin a good beating and feeling refreshed, I had to deal with another problem.
Those blue-skinned, even-toed ungulate intelligent aliens.
……
However, this is not a difficult task that requires risking one's life. It is relatively easy to communicate with civilizations that are more or less rational.
Elsuya, the Water Caste diplomat of the Tau Empire, stood in the Federation camp, amazed at the various new technologies, and became more determined to establish good relations with this unknown force.
He folded his hands lightly, maintaining the etiquette of the Tau people. The representative of the Helka Federation he met was a majestic creature. He looked like some kind of extremely large reptile, like the dragon in the legend of Jura.
His skin had a bright blue metallic luster, and he had a lot of prosthetic modifications. His eyes glowed like two miniature stars, and his breath was extremely hot, as if there was a furnace in his body.
The air was filled with a strange aroma, a kind of perfume that the Shui clan brought with them to calm the tense atmosphere of the negotiations. Elsua instinctively analyzed these details while organizing his thoughts.
"We have maintained our distance from your country in accordance with standard diplomatic rhetoric and have not engaged in conflict. This is because we respect the strength and wisdom of the Star Alliance."
He spoke in clear Tau language, neither humble nor arrogant.
"We choose to remain neutral not because we fear war, but because our Greater Good enunciates the path of harmony."
The Water Caste briefly introduced the historical development of the Tau, their current situation, and their core philosophy, namely "The Greater Good", a philosophy of interventionism and unity centered around the Tau.
The Best Good Way adheres to the principles of collectivism, order, collaboration and common development. Its core belief is that all intelligent life should abandon personal interests, unite and work together to achieve a more harmonious and beautiful future.
Of course, the topics about the absolute leadership of the Ether, the caste system, and the fact that unity must be based on the absolute dominance of the Titans are not to be touched upon.
The representatives of the Helka Federation listened quietly, as if waiting for a more detailed explanation.
Elsuya leaned forward slightly and continued, "The Tau Empire is a prosperous civilization that has risen in the galaxy. At least hundreds of alien species have decided to establish good cooperative relations with us because of the truth of the Greater Good. We believe that peace and cooperation are far more valuable than killing and conquest."
"We are not a pure war machine like the Imperium of Man. Instead, we hope to bring a better future to all intelligent creatures through unity, rationality, and the guidance of the Greater Good."
The Helka representative nodded, adjusted his sitting posture slightly, and looked more formal. Then he gave a low echo: "Tai, your way of thinking is... very normal."
Indigo thought of many words, and finally just used the word normal to describe it, but this was probably enough.
Elsuya's expression brightened. He understood that this meant that the other party at least did not deny the ideals of the Tau Empire and would probably be willing to establish normal diplomatic relations.
The Tau Empire's suing for peace with an unknown interstellar force was not without risk. The probability of casualties among Water Caste diplomats was no less than that of Fire Warriors on the battlefield. The lessons of those delegations that were harmed by Orks, Eldar, the Human Empire and other dangerous species were still fresh in their minds.
The Federation's attitude proves that they are not one of these bloodthirsty creatures, but a civilization willing to engage in rational dialogue.
The Shui diplomats seized upon their victory and drafted a preliminary charter for establishing diplomatic relations with the Federation.
Finally, the voice of diplomat Helka echoed in the hall: "Since you have actively sought diplomatic relations, our Interstellar Federation will not ignore such a request. We will consider establishing formal diplomatic channels, arranging for the exchange of missions and the establishment of embassies. For now, we can maintain peace and reach a limited diplomatic agreement."
Elsua lowered his head in thought, quickly weighing the pros and cons. After a moment, he smiled gently and gave the other party a Tau salute.
“That’s exactly what we expected,”
He responded sincerely, "The value of this meeting outweighs any meaningless disputes. We are willing to apply to the Etheric Masters to jointly develop this planet for its benefit. Let us become true friends."
It wasn't you who took it down. "Joint development" is really just a free lunch. Indigo of the Helka Federation thought to himself, carefully observing the other party's expression. After a moment's thought, he said, "Let's talk. We can talk. There's nothing we can't discuss."
……
The negotiations entered their final phase, and the Tau made a request. Elsuya adjusted his collar slightly and said, his tone unchanged, "This has been a successful meeting. However, before we conclude, we have one small request."
Representative Helka raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh?"
"We hope to persuade some of the Eldar captives to come under the rule of the Greater Good. After all, I see that your nation has little affection for these Eldar people. We are willing to share your concerns."
There was a brief silence in the conference room.
Representative Helka pondered for a moment, then said calmly: "They don't even have the right of residence now, they are just prisoners of war. If you have such a request, then you can try it yourself. But..."
Elsua was delighted by the other party's agreement, and immediately understood the unfinished subtext: "We will definitely give something in return."
The blue dragon representative was satisfied and agreed to this request.
Therefore, the Shui family diplomat had the power to enter the Helka prison, and he felt a little complicated as he walked.
Because he knew very well that the elves were not a race that could easily accept the Greater Good.
Or perhaps they simply cannot accept it at all. Every time I mention this to these creatures, I get bursts of laughter.
They are proud, closed, full of mystery, and have the pretensions that come with an ancient history.
However, this was also an opportunity. If he could successfully persuade even a small number of Eldar proficient in psychic science to join the Tau Empire, it would be a huge diplomatic success.
So he took action.
The area where the Eldar prisoners were held was a force field cage, with a fluctuating transparent field covering the entire area like a vertical lake.
Elsuya stood outside the cage, observing the captured Eldar through the transparent barrier. They sat quietly on the pale ground, their armor stripped off, their exposed skin gleaming with a strange sheen in the light.
Their appearance, if judged by humanoid aesthetics, was indeed quite beautiful. Each Eldar had a slender and slender figure, their features as perfect as a work of art. However, the eyes of these works of art were empty and lifeless, as if completely cut off from the outside world.
Elsua slowly approached, stopped in front of the barrier, and said, "You don't have to be silent."
No one responded to him.
He adjusted his tone, making his voice sound softer and more convincing. "You may have heard of the Tau Empire. We are not a narrow-minded people who would respond to extermination, nor are we a race that would enslave you. The Greater Good welcomes all who wish to join us, offering refuge, dignity, and the opportunity for self-improvement."
The elves remained silent, as if they had not heard his voice at all.
Finally, a young Eldar, perhaps too young to resist the outside world as much as the elders, raised his head slightly.
"Can I leave here by going with you?"
His voice was weak, but held a hint of curiosity.
Elsua smiled gently. "Our noble ally has given us this power."
Several more young Eldar raised their heads, confusion and hesitation flickering in their eyes. Their world had collapsed, the world soul had fallen silent, everything was destroyed, and they would eventually fall into the Dark Prince's abyss of suffering.
But in that case, they might as well start a new life. They will go to hell after death anyway, so what is there to care about? Besides, they are still young. If they are not satisfied with the life of the Tau people, they can escape at any time and join the Eldar pirates on the Path of the Plunderers.
Therefore, these "still energetic" elves agreed to the Shui family's invitation, which is not sure whether it is a blessing or a curse.
However, most of the older Eldar remained motionless, their eyes empty, as if their souls had been annihilated in the flames of war.
Elsua sighed inwardly. He knew that convincing the Eldar, a species filled with strange pride, to accept the Greater Good would be far more difficult than convincing other races. Perhaps this was all he had gained.
He glanced at Helka's observer, who did not interfere with his actions, but just quietly recorded everything. However, since his presence was a warning, things could not be too indecent.
Anyway, it's all a good start, maybe?
100
Chapter 100 The long and arduous journey comes to an end.
It took a lot of time to deal with issues such as the Eldar and the Tau, but the result was always good, and the Federation got what it wanted.
Because the Federation very "sincerely" pointed out the fact that the Tau were losing ground on this wild Eldar planet and would have been in danger of being annihilated if the Federation had not suddenly appeared.
So the Ether Mentor finally admitted very awkwardly that the Federation had occupied the Eldar planet. They only asked for an area originally occupied by the Tau people as the setting area for the diplomatic embassy and trading port.
The Federation readily agreed to this. The last time they did business was last century. It was really difficult to find a few people in this universe who would seriously spend money to buy things instead of just robbing them.
