The City of Sorrow is the largest city-state in the entire Comoros, and it is also the core of its complex politics and power.
Here you can find the oldest noble bloodline in the Eldar Empire, many of whom are the founders or direct descendants of the Eldar Fall.
In other words, if one has to find an orthodoxy among the three existing Eldar branches, then neither the Ark Eldar nor the Savage Eldar can be considered the successors of the Eldar Empire.
On the contrary, it was the Dark Eldar who created Slaanesh who were the upper ruling class who escaped after the collapse of the entire empire.
So although the outside world has always had a bad impression of the Dark Eldar, thinking that they are both bloodthirsty and cruel, these guys are indeed the orthodox successors to the Eldar Empire.
Among them, the thirteen most powerful supreme lords and consuls united to form a barely stable rule.
In terms of seniority and age, Asdubal Viktor, who even Slaanesh would call "Big Brother", is the leader and ruler of the Thirteen Supreme Lords Archons.
The reason why the City of Sorrow is the core of the entire Comoros is not because of its antiquity and history, but because of its special location and location in a multi-dimensional gap called "Elinda Song".
The entire city looked dark and gloomy from a distance, as blurry and twisted as a living thing. Then it was connected to dimensional slices one after another, and finally pieced together into a structure that cannot be described in words.
Normal people will never be able to see the full picture of the City of Sadness even in their lifetime.
Because as described above, it is not simply in one dimension, but divides the urban area into multiple parts and saves them in different dimensional slices.
The advantage of this is that even if the most intense war breaks out and destructive weapons such as cyclone torpedoes and bipolar torpedoes are used, at best they can only destroy a block in a certain dimension, but cannot wipe out the entire City of Sadness at once.
.
But the disadvantage is that the dimensions form natural isolation. The forces behind each powerful conspiracy group can occupy all the streets in a dimension to form a separatist regime.
There are even rumors that the dark abyss leading here is connected to the entrance to the subspace, and the terrifying demons inside can freeze the souls of mortals just by stretching out their hands.
But anyone who has actually been to the lower area knows that there are just some weapons and food factories there.
The reason why such rumors spread is that the overseers are greedy and cruel to the slaves.
Humans, Orcs, Tau, and even the Dark Eldar themselves may become members of the huge slave population.
Because for the Eldar whose senses are particularly keen, the monotonous repetitive labor in the slave factory and the deprivation of pleasure are punishments stronger than any pain.
Coupled with the crazy involution of the supervisors, who compete all day long to see who is more cruel and can improve the efficiency of the production workshop they manage, resulting in painful wails and desperate roars often heard inside.
Over time, people passing by will think something terrible is happening below.
In fact, compared to being sent to the Haemonculi Association for transformation or being used as a test subject, working to death in a factory is already the "happiest" and "most humanistic" way to die in Comoros.
But now, with the large-scale airborne landing of the Death Army and the rebellion of Lady Aurelia Malus and her allies, the City of Sorrow is no longer safe.
Street fighting and killings between different factions of the Dark Eldar can be seen everywhere in the streets.
Blood and corpses were scattered all over the streets and alleys, and even the invited Haemonculi had no time to stitch these broken corpses back to life again.
"How's the situation outside?"
Asdubal Victor asked without raising his head while sitting in his palace.
Although he still maintains his usual arrogance, calmness and calmness, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the nominal supreme ruler of Comoros has begun to be afraid.
After all, it would be okay if it were just a foreign enemy.
The City of Darkness has encountered many foreign enemies since its establishment. Even the intrusion of warp demons failed to do anything to the place, and many areas were overrun by Orcs.
But in the final analysis, they are now slaves of the Dark Eldar or subjects of transformation experiments for the Haemonculi.
Therefore, in the eyes of the upper ruling class, Comoros is basically equivalent to the "unsinkable" Titanic before the accident, or the Maginot Line known as the "never-fallen" defense, which is absolutely impossible to be captured by external forces.
But if you add Mrs. Aurelia Malus inside, the situation will be completely different.
You must know that since he forged a grudge against Efreni and the Death Army she established, in order to restore his lost prestige, Asdubar Victor sent assassins and pursuers many times to kill the man who had caused him such loss of face.
"Little girl", but all ended in failure without exception.
This repeated failure severely damaged the authority he had finally established.
The most typical example is that a large number of Dark Eldar left Commorragh to join the Death Army.
After all, the latter is the real army chosen by the Gods. There is a powerful incarnation of the God of Death sitting in charge, which can block to a certain extent Slaanesh who is constantly sucking his soul every day.
Quite a few consuls, such as Lady Aurelia Malus, believed that they saw an opportunity to overthrow the rule of Asdubal Victor, so they began to plot and prepare for rebellion.
Even Asdubal Victor's own men complained about this.
It can be said that this is the biggest crisis he has faced since becoming the ruler of Comoros.
If there was no interference from external forces, Asdubar Victor should be able to kill or suppress potential opponents one by one with his sophisticated tactics.
Or even go on a killing spree to clean up, replacing all important positions with cronies.
But the problem is that Efrenie didn't give him such time.
By cooperating with Lady Aurelia Malus, these two most prestigious and capable women in the Eldar launched a surprise war.
They didn't leave Asdúbal Victor any time to maneuver, and directly detonated the internal conflicts in the entire Dark City.
At present, the situation within the city has completely gone out of control, with all kinds of young people and careerists and conspirators emerging one after another who want to take advantage of the chaos to gain more benefits.
If it weren't for the structure and terrain of Comoros being so complex that no one would be able to draw a complete map, and conspiracies, organizations, and gangs of all sizes can be found in every corner, and you can often feel it in some deserted places.
Groups of green-skinned orcs are enjoying the thrill of battle, which means that the army from outside should have already invaded.
In fact, the Death Army's biggest headache right now is not those men who are still loyal to Asdubar Victor.
On the contrary, it was a madman who had nothing to do with him and took advantage of the chaos to rob everywhere, expand his territory, and kill his enemies.
After all, war and chaos are the most powerful weapons for breaking down class barriers.
When the old vested interest groups are eliminated, those at the bottom have the opportunity to climb up and become members of the new ruling class.
Otherwise, no matter what kind of country and system it is, class solidification will inevitably occur after it develops to a certain extent.
At that time, things like power and wealth will only be passed on through sex, mother-to-child and blood lines like AIDS.
Even if there are occasional lucky people who can break through class barriers and climb to the top, they will only be the result of a very small number who have been strictly screened by the ruling class.
"I'm extremely sorry, we have lost contact with the outside world.
Mrs. Aurelia Malus had obviously been fully prepared and had set out the eyes and ears of our arrangements at the first opportunity.
Even the signal from the monitoring system was completely cut off.
Right now the entire City of Sorrow is under severe warp psychic interference."
A beautiful and sexy Dark Eldar woman hurried forward and gave a detailed report.
It is not difficult to tell from the sexy lingerie-like attire on her body that she should be Asdubal Victor's lover or a slave used to vent his dark desires.
"Warp psychic interference?!"
Asdubal Victor's expression changed slightly, then he raised his head and asked: "Are there any signs of a large number of demons appearing in Comoros right now?"
The woman quickly shook her head: "No, no.
I think this interference device should not simply tear open a tunnel connected to subspace.
It's another kind of psychic technology that we've never seen before.
In addition, according to previous reports, there are armies similar to the Astartes Space Marines of the Human Empire among the Death Army, as well as half-mechanical and half-flesh creations made by Shimmering Oil.
If nothing else, the real mastermind behind this invasion should be the father of New Phyrexia who ignited the subspace war."
"Father of New Phyrexia? Damn it! Why would he target Commorragh?"
Asdúbal Victor couldn't help but cursed.
As a remnant of the fallen Eldar Empire who witnessed the birth of Slaanesh with his own eyes, he knows better than anyone the value of successfully planning to kill Nurgle, one of the four evil gods of the warp, and what it means to plunge the entire warp into war.
Facing such a terrifying existence showing hostility to itself, any old Yinbi who doesn't want to die would be able to help but pee his pants in fear.
If possible, Asdubal Victor would even want to surrender immediately.
In his opinion, if Zuo Si's Shuoyou incarnation fell in love with Comoros, wouldn't it be enough to just send someone to notify him?
When the time comes, I will definitely give up my control obediently. There is no need to go into such a big fight.
After all, any of the fleets currently fighting endless demons in the subspace would be enough to flatten Commorragh hundreds of times.
Asdúbal Victor would not be stupid enough to become an enemy of such a "big boss" who was simply untouchable. Instead, he would kneel down and raise his butt in the most humble posture to express his obedience.
It doesn't matter even if I have to sell ditches every day in the future.
Anyway, it’s not like I was exposed when I was a slave. Even now, I occasionally think about it again.
To be continued...
