Li Qinwu was puzzled when the two Eldar who suddenly appeared showed him no hostility and instead stepped in to help him.
Then he looked at the three Aeldari Warriors pinned to the ground. Their frenzied expressions made it obvious they had lost their minds, and he roughly understood what had happened.
"You're together? These three lunatics were possessed by Body-Snatching Monsters, right?"
Warlock Daal nodded gravely.
"My kin and I were attacked by those strange spirit monsters as soon as we landed. We were nearly wiped out.
Human, you seem to have an efficient way of killing those spirit monsters. How about we work together?"
Li Qinwu pursed his lips, neither accepting nor rejecting her proposal.
The Eldar, these space elves, were an arrogant bunch. Normally, they did not call humans humans, but monkeys.
In their eyes, humans were primitive animals with backward technology, still uncivilized and unfit to stand as equals beside an ancient dominant race like theirs.
Besides, the Eldar were repeat offenders when it came to betraying their human allies. When humans and Eldar encountered a common enemy, such as the Tyranids or Greenskin Orks, they might briefly join forces against the shared threat.
But once the threat was gone, the Eldar would either turn on the human fleet or screw the humans over before making a quick getaway.
In short, these space elves were deeply untrustworthy. Put bluntly, those outside your own kind had their own agendas. Dealing with the Eldar required keeping your guard up.
He temporarily shifted his gaze away from the two injured Eldar and turned to the three Aeldari Warriors pinned to the ground.
With a beckoning gesture, he sent one of the Aeldari Warriors flying through the air into his grasp.
