Razor Wing Attack Aircraft acted first, scattering across dizzying flight paths.
Conducting harassment attacks to further disrupt the Xian Ge Hao's already fragile air defense system, opening opportunities for the bombers.
Four Void Raven Bombers split into two teams, under the cover of Razor Wing Attack Aircraft.
Heading straight for two key strategic targets: the Shield Generator located above the hull and the Main Propulsion Engine Cluster at the stern.
The bomb bays beneath the Void Raven Bombers opened, firing one pale Armor-Piercing Thermite Missile after another.
Precisely hitting both targets, the massive body of the Xian Ge Hao shook violently.
This colossus came to a halt at this moment, becoming a beast paralyzed in the Void, at the mercy of bloodthirsty pirates to tear apart.
Pirate Lord Wa La Ke admired the miserable state of the Xian Ge Hao on the monitor screen, letting out a pleased laugh.
"Boarding Team, depart!"
"Remember what I said, the fresher, the longer the pain lasts, the more delicious~"
Several Invader-class Airships, shaped like distorted enlarged insect torsos, were catapulted from the Ai Huan Hui Lang Hao.
They spat pale green Plasma Tail Flames from their tails, moving so fast they left only a blurred Residual Image on sensors.
They slammed straight into the Xian Ge Hao's hull, the Thermal Cutters at the front of the airships working frantically.
Cutting holes in the ship's shell, spewing glowing red Metal Liquid.
And the Dark Eldar's mobile troops launched the assault first.
10 Reaper Jetbikes sped along the massive outer surface of the Xian Ge Hao's hull.
Constantly harassing and pinning down crew members near the deck trying to organize internal defenses.
While using precise Scanners to mark key passages inside the transport ship, preparing for subsequent Boarding.
20 Hell Riders rode Anti-gravity Skateboards, like riding the wind of death, swarming in first through the breach opened by the Invader Airships.
They split into two groups, one group letting out sharp battle cries, charging straight at the Defensive Line established by the Star Realm Army Regiment in the Main Cargo Hold passage.
The other group scattered, charging and harassing secondary passages and cabins guarded by Kaili's private escort squad.
The tactical core of the Hell Riders was speed and chaos.
They never lingered in combat, relying on the incredible maneuverability of their skateboards to weave through narrow Corridors.
Launching lightning-fast attacks with Poison Crystal Pistols and poisoned war blades in hand, then quickly withdrawing.
Spreading panic and chaos to Every Corner of the Ship.
Closely following, 50 Fully Armed Conspiracy Cultists entered the Xian Ge Hao from the Invader Airships.
They were well-trained, part constantly suppressing the Star Realm Army Regiment with Poison Crystal Rifles, opening safe passages for subsequent troops.
The other part formed Assault Squads, advancing deep into the ship along the paths marked by the Hell Riders.
The Nerve Toxin crystals fired from their Poison Crystal Rifles were not instantly fatal, but could cause nerve-tearing Green Skin Pain.
Making those hit lose Combat Power in extreme agony, becoming lambs awaiting slaughter.
Because this gang was the most perverted, most fanatical SM enthusiasts in the entire Warhammer Universe.
Devoting their entire lives to pursuing torture, slaughtering other living beings, and absorbing pain energy.
Many of their attack methods were not fatal, only causing more intense pain.
So that after every battle, they could capture a large number of living slaves.
If you unfortunately fall into their hands, hehe.
You will face endless torture, rape, flaying, and being eaten.
You had better pray they follow this order.
And the most chilling hunters also appeared at this moment.
A small squad of Warlocks, Wa La Ke's most fanatical Pain Worshippers and Torture Artists.
Like hunters merged into Shadow, following routes given by mobile troops, weaving at high speed through the ship's Middle Zone.
Their targets were clear: separated escort squad members, and Communication Soldiers and Engineers repairing systems.
And anyone panicking, trying to flee or reinforce small groups of crew members.
These crew members once knew every path, but at this moment became the deadliest Traps.
An elite Conspiracy Cultist squad, led by the Deputy Officer personally appointed by Wa La Ke, aimed directly at the Bridge.
That was the ship's nominal Command Center.
The passage to the Bridge became a bloody meat grinder; the escort squads hired at great expense by Kaili wore gorgeous Power Armor, cooperating with Combat Servitors released by the Mechanical Priest, resisting to the death.
Light Beams and Poison Crystal fragments crisscrossed, Chain Swords and war blades collided, someone fell every second.
The Dark Eldar warriors were cold and efficient; breaking through the last barrier was only a matter of time.
Just as the Xian Ge Hao's vast attention was drawn to the focus of the battle for the Bridge.
More Conspiracy Cultists, supported by Hell Rider and Reaper Squads, launched a siege against the Star Realm Army Regiment.
The Main Cargo Hold defended by the Star Realm Army not only stored important Supplies, but was also the residence of servants and slaves.
Star Realm Army soldiers displayed the resilience befitting the Empire's cornerstone, relying on temporary Defensive Fortifications to counterattack stubbornly.
Even a small squad of Combat Nuns originally responsible for maintaining the spiritual purity of ship personnel, belonging to the Imperial Cult Monastery.
Also at this moment without hesitation picked up their Bomb Guns, shouting oaths to the Emperor and joined the battle.
The Sisters' fervent faith and superb combat skills once held back the Dark Eldar offensive.
But under fire from pirates coming from all sides, the Star Realm Army's defensive line, lacking unified command and fighting separately, was slowly dismantled and began to collapse step by step.
Just as the defensive line was about to collapse and the Dark Eldar were about to fully control the Main Cargo Hold.
Worse news reached the Bridge.
"Bridge! Bridge! This is the Lower Cargo Hold monitoring station!"
Something big happened! There are Chaos Traitors in the Lower Cargo Hold, they took advantage of the chaos to hold Chaos Rituals!
Monsters have been summoned!".
Kaili slumped in the captain's chair; upon hearing this news, the last trace of color faded from his face.
Isud grabbed the Communication Device and shrilly demanded:
"Chaos? Summoning? Speak clearly! What exactly is it?!"
From the other end of the communication came a more terrified, almost distorted voice:
"It, it's blue Demons, a large quantity of them, distorted, constantly grinning and deforming blue Demons!"
And there are sorcerers wearing Gowns, with evil fire all over their bodies!
They are believers of the Lord of Change!"
"The Lord of Change." Isud felt dizzy and leaned on the control console to barely stand steady.
The Dark Eldar's plundering was already a nightmare, and now add the revelry of Warp Demons?
How many misfortunes must this ship endure?
Kaili, as if suddenly grabbing a life-saving straw, shouted hoarsely:
"Demons? Aren't Demons supposed to corrupt Eldar? Aren't they mortal enemies?!"
As if heaven responded to his naive fantasy, another report came through the communication.
This time the voice carried a trace of joy at narrowly escaping death:
"Cap, Captain, good news!"
The imprisoned Ogryns somehow broke open their cages and rushed out!
They started fighting the Chaos Traitors and those blue monsters!
The Ogryns gained the upper hand; their Ice Cold Power is truly terrifying, many of those monsters were smashed to pieces."
"Good, good, good, let them fight!"
Kaili wept with joy and shouted with disordered logic.
Otto then spoke with a trace of fawning agreement:
"Adult is wise! Those Ogryns have low Intelligence; the Demons' roundabout tricks are useless against them."
However, just a few minutes later, before Kaili and the others could finish catching their breath, another even worse piece of news arrived.
This communication came from an outpost near the Main Cargo Hold not yet fully overrun; the reporter's voice was filled with Despair.
"Not good, Captain! A large quantity of Gene Thieves have appeared on the Lower Deck."
