The Dark Eldar's attack on Elysium was only the beginning, but it was not the end.
"So far, three colonies have been attacked by the Dark Eldar, and there was nothing we could do about it."
Li Longcheng looked at Duanmu Huai helplessly. Shepard's younger brother, standing beside him, also wore an awkward expression. Ultimately, the reason the Systems Alliance colonies had been attacked was that the Dark Eldar had captured the Normandy SR-2 under his command. Naturally, that warship contained maps of every Systems Alliance planet. Combined with the Dark Eldar's ability to appear and disappear like ghosts, this had caused the Systems Alliance tremendous losses.
"Many colonists have been captured. We also strengthened the colonies' defenses, but those bastards were actually able to assassinate our commanders directly, without anyone noticing!"
As he said this, Li Longcheng angrily clenched his fist and slammed it onto the table. The Dark Eldar's way of fighting was just as despicable as their conduct. In short, they relied on the Webway to do whatever they pleased. Not only could they teleport warships through the Webway, they could teleport themselves through it as well.
What did this mean? It meant they could sneak in while the enemy commander was asleep, kill them without anyone noticing, and then attack the colony. By the time the garrison discovered the invasion and realized that their commander was dead, everything would naturally descend into chaos. How were they supposed to keep fighting?
Even if you were armed to the teeth, what use was it when your enemy could blow your head off in a single strike?
"That officer has already been arrested and put on trial. He admitted that the order was his personal decision. Considering the disastrous consequences his order caused, we sentenced him to life imprisonment."
