Chapter 1054 This Requires an Additional Price Increase

In the building serving as a temporary command center, it was busy at the moment.

"There are still wounded over there, transport them to the hall, the contact team, send a signal immediately to see if there are any soldiers outside!"

After the swarm took over the battle, Shepard and Anderson did not need to fight on the front line, and with the continuous arrival of the wounded, civilians and soldiers, they immediately took on the task of organizing—— Gather the wounded, secondly resettle the civilians, and then find a way to get in touch with the Star Alliance troops all over the earth, check the battle damage and issue orders.

The number of rescued civilians is quite a lot. In the past, it may not be easy to resettle them, but now, these civilians are obediently like children, obeying their commands. On the one hand, it is because of the sudden attack today that these civilians have no idea what is going on, and they are still in a daze.

On the other hand...the swarms of insects that are stalking them.

"I really didn't expect it to go so smoothly."

After finishing another official business, Anderson stretched himself, walked to the window and looked out. It was already midnight, and the burning fire could still be seen in the distance. But the sound of fighting has not sounded for a long time. This is not because they failed, but because the reapers who occupied the entire city have been completely wiped out by those swarms, whether it is the huge steel reapers, or the corpse puppets and drones they created, Has fallen under the swarm.

"yes………"

Shepard, who had just led the team to search for survivors, also took a sip of water and leaned against the wall next to him. After the little girls in Tiandao Palace rescued the first batch of survivors, Shepard selected the soldiers who could still act inside and cooperated with him in the rescue operation. Then they continued to select qualified soldiers from the rescued survivors to cooperate with them, so the rescue work became smoother and smoother like a snowball.

Especially because the swarm wiped out all the Reapers almost mercilessly, so that everyone didn't need to be distracted from facing the enemy at all, but could concentrate on searching and rescuing survivors, thus speeding up the rescue efficiency. At least for now, their work is still fruitful.

"How's it going?"

"Terrible."

Hearing Shepard's inquiry, Lieutenant General Anderson's mood, which was originally happy because the city was about to be recovered, instantly dropped an octave.

"We couldn't contact the other Star Alliance branches at all, and only a few troops responded, but...their situation is obviously not very good."

This is also a matter of course, after all, not everyone will be so lucky to be rescued by the swarm.

But then again...

"We really made a wise decision at the beginning."

Looking at the thick dark red creep on the ground, and the densely packed flying dragons standing on the top of the building not far away, Anderson also took a deep breath. As a soldier and a general, he naturally carefully observed these mysterious existences from the Heavenly Dao Palace, and Anderson also observed the overall structure of the Heavenly Dao Palace from their actions.

Obviously, these terrifying-looking swarms are the real main force of the Tiandao Palace, and those little girls with strange and mysterious powers are more like the elite troops or guards of the Tiandao Palace. Not only that, but according to Shepard's report, the opponent also has a powerful fleet far surpassing all current civilizations.

Anderson thought about it silently in his heart, and then he found helplessly that even if those little girls with mysterious powers did not appear on the battlefield, the entire Star Alliance could be swept away by the swarm alone. If these little girls with mysterious power and that battleship with powerful mysterious power also appear, then they... have no way out.

This force is simply more terrifying than the Reapers!

Anderson knew that many of the people here were first discovered by the swarm and then rescued by them. It's not surprising that these strange-looking bugs can't speak, and they don't seem to be able to communicate with humans. Coupled with their appearance, many people are scared and almost have a mental breakdown when they see them for the first time.

But fortunately, these bugs did obey orders, even if someone shot them in fear, these bugs had no intention of fighting back at all.

Of course, what's more important is that ordinary firearms can't penetrate their carapace at all...

Recalling the reports of the soldiers, Anderson couldn't help pressing his forehead. To be honest, in his opinion, this force called Tiandao Palace is much more terrifying than the Harvester. Among other things, it can be seen from the number of survivors they are gathering now. The reaper's style of play is to paralyze the central core of the Star Alliance first, and then send ground troops and those corpse puppets to slowly mop up the harvest.

It is also because of this that there are so many survivors.

But the swarm...

If there is no limit to the number of this kind of carpet attack, it will be even more terrifying than locusts. If they attack humans, after they sweep the city, Anderson can be sure that there will never be any left in the city except them living things!

Perhaps this is why Tiandao Palace dared to challenge the Citadel. To be honest, if there were no Reapers, the Citadel would definitely regard Tiandao Palace as the most dangerous force in the galaxy, and even the Geths would be ranked behind them. .

Fortunately, the other party is now my ally... Well, it's not accurate to say that they are allies, after all, they need to be paid.

Speaking of here...

"Shepard, how is your situation?"

"Pretty bad."

Shepard shook his head.

"Almost all docked battleships were destroyed by the Reapers immediately. We couldn't even find a complete ship frame... Where are you? Have you contacted the defense fleet?"

"Forget it, those cowards..."

Not to mention it's okay, mentioning Anderson is full of anger. It took a lot of effort to contact the defense fleet, hoping that they can provide support. But those bastards refused to come, saying that the earth has been completely occupied by the Reapers, and their fleet is not an opponent at all, and then cut off contact with Anderson directly on the grounds that they were afraid that the Reapers would track them down.

Lieutenant General Anderson was almost pissed off.

Well, he also admitted what the other party said. After all, only two or three kittens were left in the defense fleet, and they couldn't protect themselves...

Having said that, this is also the stupidity of the Star Alliance itself. Originally, Shepard sent a warning message to the Star Alliance immediately after realizing that the Reaper was about to arrive, but the idiots of the Star Alliance still had to wait for Shepard to come back. Reporting the details is just an order for the fleet to stand by and raise the alert level?

This is great, it's been taken away by a bunch of people!

But it's pointless to slander now, those idiots have been killed by the Reapers, and Anderson has to think about the immediate problem.

Now the city where the headquarters is located has almost been recovered, but this is not the most important thing, they must obtain the support of other races. The Reapers are coming fiercely. It is absolutely impossible to win with the Star Alliance and humans alone. It must be combined with the strength of other races!

Thinking of this, Anderson clenched his fists, and then looked out of the window again, just in time to see a flying dragon lowering its head, staring at him curiously.

... Well, maybe a certain force is excluded.

But in any case, they must leave the earth, which is obviously impossible without the battleship.

Anderson glanced at his multi-tool again, then at Shepard.

"Commander Shepard."

"Yes, what instructions?"

"I remember you said that the organization called Tiandao Palace has a very powerful fleet."

"Yes, but... Anderson?"

Shepard is not stupid, she knew what he meant when she heard Anderson ask.

"Do you really want to...?"

"Otherwise? We can't fly!"

Anderson rolled his eyes helplessly.

"This is a crisis for the entire galaxy. We need to work together with the Citadel, the Turians, the Asari, and all races to fight against the Reapers! We need battleships, we need fleets!"

"........."

Hearing what Anderson said, Shepard was silent for a moment, then she looked at Anderson again, and asked a question cautiously.

"………Do you have money?"

"I'll give it, can't I give it?!"

Hearing this question, Anderson looked depressed. The 50 kilograms of element zero he had promised to Tiandao Palace had already been transported back through the worm hole by Tilia's worker bees. However, the other party also did what they said, and when they said they would help him recover the city, they really only helped him recover the city...

Originally, Anderson wanted to get close to Tilia Lara, for example, to get a discount for the sake of fighting side by side... But on second thought...

What a fart to fight side by side, the battle is basically covered by the swarm, they just stay behind and shout six six six!

Of course, from the perspective of mercenaries, Tiandao Palace has done a great job, but from the perspective of emotions... Hey, I can only say that this emotional card cannot be played.

Thinking of this, Anderson also sighed depressingly, then turned around and walked up the steps to the balcony on the second floor as a temporary command post, where Tilia was sitting on a chair, admiring the night view outside, While tasting the black tea leisurely. Seeing Anderson coming, Tilia smiled slightly.

"Lieutenant General Anderson, what can I do?"

"That's right, Miss Tilia."

After witnessing the strength of Tiandao Palace with his own eyes, Anderson also gave up his intention of bargaining and spoke directly.

"We hope that Tiandao Palace can send a fleet to assist us... This is a war that threatens all civilizations in the entire galaxy. We need more support and unite all races, but right now we lack enough warships to fight the Reapers ……”

"Fleet..."

Hearing what Anderson said, Tilia thought for a moment, then she put down the teacup in her hand and smiled.

"That's going to cost you an extra fee."
