It had been mentioned before that the Dark Eldar's characteristic fighting style was guerrilla warfare—strike and run. This was mainly related to the way they fought. The Dark Eldar themselves wore the sort of outfits that only appeared in animated games, the so-called "bikini armor with greater defense than full-body armor." Of course, in reality, bikinis had no defensive value whatsoever. They could only be said to offer greater mobility.
Likewise, the Dark Eldar's warships followed the same principle. They were fast and agile, and they also made use of illusions to mislead their opponents.
In short, they were glass cannons.
From this, it was clear that the thing the Dark Eldar found most troublesome and were least willing to do was engage the enemy head-on on the battlefield.
And that was exactly what Duanmu Huai was forcing them to do now.
When the Inquisition fleet appeared in the Webway, and when the Night Watch led by Duanmu Huai appeared before the Teleportation Gate, the Dark Eldar were already left with nowhere to retreat.
Because the Dark Eldar had only this one city. Once Commorragh fell completely, the Dark Elf would be left homeless. The Aeldari at least still had their arks, while even if the Dark Eldar were lucky enough to escape, they could never rebuild a second home.

They considered themselves the heirs of the Old Ones and arrogantly believed that no other race or civilization in the world possessed the technology to construct the Webway. Thus, they had never imagined
