Chapter 571: Entrustment of Protoss Secret Research Base

On the UT-47 pull-down shuttle landing craft lined up one after another, almost all the elite marines on the Normandy II were filled, including Shepard and the others. There were more than one hundred people in total, divided into ten This team took a full ten landing craft, and almost used all the landing craft of the Normandy II!

Now they are approaching the ground really fast, and they are going to parachute to the largest Turian military base on the Menel satellite, to inquire about the whereabouts of the other party's chief and to inquire about cooperation... This is something that cannot be helped, some major events, God The turian ambassadors in the fort can't make the decision, and the one who can make the decision is now lost contact due to the war, which is the real reason Shepard and the others need to come here.

Through the window, they could clearly see: the large and small turrets, machine gun bunkers, fixed security robots, floating machine guns, and a large number of sentry guns and Turian infantry in the Turian military base below were fighting with those seemingly endless The reaper monsters are shooting at each other.

boom!

rumbling...

Cannonballs, missiles, flying mines, pulses, red particle beams, and roaring shells clash violently between the offensive and defensive teams!

Da da da!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The powerful turrets of the Turians are focusing on attacking the giant Reaper spider war machines in the distance, while the smaller sentry guns are also frantically shooting and suppressing the Reapers with thick supernatural barriers Monster soldiers, mass-effect rifle bullets and energy pulses from both sides made the frontline defenses riddled with holes...

As for those corpse puppets that were also madly rushing up, it was unknown which unlucky race they were made of, they could only be suppressed and shot by the turian soldiers hiding behind sandbags or metal barriers.

However, it is possible that there are not too many turian soldiers in this base, or it may be that almost all of them are dead... Therefore, now countless corpse puppets are swarming up the cliffs that were originally easy to defend, rushing in and out. In the Turian base, there was a scuffle with the scattered Turian soldiers and the sentry guns inside the base.

'Report sir! '

‘The Turians found us, they sent an inquiry message, please answer? '

At this time, the voice of a certain driver in the cab came from the combat channel.

"..."

"Tell them: We are coming from God's Citadel, we are going to have an important conversation with their patriarch, and we are going to land on the flat ground outside the northwest corner of their base, so that they don't attack by mistake!"

After watching the situation outside the window for a while, Shepard calmly spoke in the channel.

Just now, through the window of the hatch of the landing craft, she also saw that several large-caliber turrets had pointed their muzzles towards them, but fortunately, she might have seen the conspicuous Star Alliance emblem sprayed out of their landing craft. mark, so the Turians quickly turned their guns and went back to deal with the Reaper army that couldn't be beaten no matter what.

Their team of landing craft is much more recognizable than those monster aircraft flying around in the air and throwing Reaper soldiers!

"It really scared me, I thought they might shoot us down just now!"

Of course, Miranda also saw the twin defensive turrets turning towards their lead landing craft before,

She almost didn't scare her so much that she kicked open the cabin door and jumped out of the plane... Fortunately, those Turians were not blind at all, and in this chaotic battlefield, they could still barely recognize their star alliance badge and Sign, if the other party bombards them, they really have nothing to reason with.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Our Star Alliance is still an ally with the Turians, and we are also members of the four major councilor races of the Citadel. How could the Turians attack us at this time?"

Shepard first checked the C-14 Gauss rifle in her hand, and after confirming that there was no problem with the loaded bullets and the mounted light grenade launcher, she stared dumbfoundedly at Miranda who was talking crazy.

He even shot it down... thanks to the other party being able to speak out!

They are now here to reinforce the Turians. Although there is no prior notice, no one can shoot at them after seeing the blue and white marks on the sides and bottom of their landing craft, right? Those turians, they are not those color-blind or color-weak races!

Besides, their Starlink UT-47 drop-down shuttle landing craft is so recognizable, and it looks completely different from the strange semi-biological aircraft of those Reaper monsters flying in the sky. How could the Turians Will you admit your mistakes casually?

"Ha! Not necessarily!"

"We were in the Castle of God a few days ago, and you also saw the hostile attitude of those Turian soldiers at our door. If they had a strong desire for revenge, why would it be so strange to take advantage of the opportunity to give us a shot?"

Miranda shrugged and checked her own P-45 rapid-fire Gauss pistol.

This is her second main weapon, which is also from the arsenal of the Federation of Heroes, and it uses the insane U-238 'hot gun' ammunition!

Basically, it only takes two shots to take out a Reaper soldier with a shield or barrier, instead of at least one round of bullets to destroy the enemy's shield like the mass effect pistol she wears on her waist , and then make up several rounds to successfully wipe out an enemy.

However, this P-45 rapid-fire Gauss pistol also has a big disadvantage, that is: you can't carry too much ammunition, because it will seriously affect her flexibility and ability to run fast... So, in addition to this P- In addition to 45, she also has an X-5E 'Phalanx' heavy pistol on her waist. When necessary, after the ammunition of the high-speed pistol in her hand is exhausted, she will throw it away directly and replace it with a handgun that can be used at any time. This is the one that refills the ammo with the multi-tool.

"..."

"Everyone, get ready to land!"

Shepard turned his head, and continued to tell everyone to check their weapons and equipment for the last time.

She didn't want to entangle too much about something about the Divine Castle, it was just a misunderstanding after all! Therefore, she firmly believes that as long as they can successfully save Turian's home planet this time, they will definitely change their views on the Star Alliance, humans and Shepard completely and be grateful to Dade!

'Report sir! '

‘A large number of enemies have been found at the scheduled landing point, do you need to temporarily change the landing place? '

At this time, in the cockpit with a wider view, the pilots discovered that something was wrong with the landing site. A group of Reaper soldiers gathered below had already affected the safety of their landing site.

However, before the landing craft with the conspicuous Star Alliance logo approached the ground and successfully landed, the Reaper soldiers below raised their guns and fired at the air, and the pulse energy beam hit the shell of the landing craft. Let their landing craft start to tremble and shake... Then, the pilot who operated the spaceship reported loudly in a panic.

Fortunately, the Star Alliance's UT-47 drop-down shuttle landing craft 'Kodiak' and 'Battle Roach' have always had relatively thick armor, and sporadic shots from the ground troops of the Reapers failed to take down ten of them. any ship! Otherwise, once they are really beaten down, the fourteen elite marines crowded on each landing craft will be in dire straits!

"Ignore them!"

"Open the hatches on both sides of the landing craft and prepare to make a forced landing. We will help suppress them!"

Click!

Shepard loaded his rifle, then put on his helmet with a cold face, stood up and walked to the hatch, and slapped the button of the hatch, allowing the hatch of the landing craft to rise slowly upwards from both sides. The landing craft has no weapons, but it doesn't mean that their crew members have no weapons!

After all, the dozens of Reapers below are actually not a problem for their elite marines with more than a hundred people.

Da da! Da da da! ! !

With just one strafing shot, Shepard easily smashed the several Reaper soldiers gathered below to pieces, and then when the landing was about to land, when the team members on the other landing craft were shooting at the ground, she took the lead Jumped from a height of several meters.

"Okay! Follow me closely, go in and find the leader of the Turians!"

"Remember! Don't be wary. We are not here to fight the Reapers. Our mission is to find the Turian patriarch and make him accept the terms we negotiated with the Citadel!"

As a matter of course, as the commander, Shepard has not forgotten their mission until now. She also knows that with a hundred people like them, they will definitely not be able to control the battle situation on this satellite, so she jumps down at the same time. , while rushing forward, loudly stated again in the channel the most important task why they came here to fight this time.

Da da da! !

A large number of elite Star Alliance N7, S1 and other elite marines rushed out from the hatches opened by the landing craft one after another. They held various weapons and shot violently at the reaper monsters around them. Wang formed a battle formation, surrounded Shepard and pushed forward.

"snort!"

instigate! instigate! !

Finally, Miranda and Little Annie, who jumped off the landing craft, had just landed on their feet when three ferocious Reaper puppets rushed towards them with their teeth and claws bared! Then, Miranda raised her hand twice, and after the pistol made two low sounds, the two monsters rushing towards her instantly lost their heads, and the headless semi-mechanical ugly body rolled directly to the ground covered with rocks. above the planet's ground.

And the other one rushed towards Little Annie, but she didn't care...

Because, she really wants to see how this little guy's marksmanship is at close range, will he be frightened to the point of loss? She did it on purpose. Who asked the other party to carry that long 20mm sniper gun? She has said many times to let that little guy bring a short gun for self-defense, but that shit is still too heavy?

Speaking of which, the two pistols that Miranda was carrying, together with the ammunition, probably couldn't be heavier than the exaggerated long weapon that the kid was carrying on his shoulders, right? Seeing that the opponent doesn't struggle at all, what's the point of carrying another weapon? Besides, she knew that the brat had some kind of magical means to hide things, which was no worse than their universal tools!

'Howl~ roar! ! '

The hideous and ugly cyborg skeleton monster, like a walking dead, suddenly rushed towards the little human with its back facing it! It intends to use its strong and powerful hands to directly tear apart the opponent, just like the Turian soldier it tore apart before.

hum!

Swish! !

A red light blade about half a meter long lit up on the armguard of Annie's ghost suit, and then she didn't even look at the corpse puppet monster rushing towards her from behind, it was just a short movement, and then a bright light Flashing on and off, the corpse puppet was directly cut in half by her slanting upward attack, including its head.

"Why!"

"Why is this kind of monster again, can't their reaper change into another trick?"

(????????)︻デ═一

Seeing that the monster that had been neatly cut in half was still holding on to the ground with one arm, trying to come up to her feet and bite herself with her teeth, Annie curled her lips angrily, and stepped forward. Just kicked off the opponent's skull, making it roll and fly far away like a ball...

She felt that it was meaningless to fight this kind of mob. If she really wanted to fight, she should find a bigger one?

In the distance, there was a giant reaper spider monster. It was at least a dozen stories high, and it was almost the same as the one she had killed on Earth! However, it was a pity that the opponent was suppressed in the distance by the turrets of the Turians, and couldn't get close in a short time, and the weapon in her hand couldn't reach the opponent.

"It's not this kind of monster, what kind of monster do you want to meet?"

Miranda, the reaper's unit, has already been familiar with it, and there are only a few kinds of people who come and go: the corpse puppets who are extremely powerful and run fast, and the corpse puppets that can explode themselves, and the fierce and supernatural Asari girls. Monsters, normal shooting Reaper soldiers, giant charging monsters, shield-opening harbingers, troublesome guys who spit powers, and more!

Of course, there are also the huge steel spiders in the distance and those larger octopus spaceships! !

"That's right, little Annie!"

"What is that weapon in your hand just now? It looks very powerful?"

The universal tools on the left hands of Miranda, Shepard and others can also stimulate light yellow or golden mass effect energy blades. In melee situations, they can also easily break through the enemy's ability barrier or mass effect at low speed. Effect shield, so as to achieve the purpose of killing the enemy easily!

However, they will not choose to do that unless they are forced to...

Because, those people who like to do that, those so-called pioneers, they have the highest death rate in the entire galaxy, none of them! Therefore, if they can use guns to deal with the enemy from a distance, they will never choose to fight in close combat, just like the war blade in her hand, it is just the last self-defense tool.

"I want to fight that kind of powerful, ferocious, and big monster, like the one over there!!"

(∩????ω????)??-*??

Annie stretched out her hand and pointed directly at the furthest point!

Over there, a huge Reaper spider monster was facing the Turian bombardment, constantly firing red eye beam particle beams, violently bombarding the front line of the Turian position. Over there, now it seems It was very lively!

"that……"

"Forget it, I'd rather it stay there forever!!"

For a big guy like that, his fighting power is terrifying!

Anyway, Miranda was absolutely unwilling to face their kind of horror that would kill someone if they were targeted! She would rather fight with a hundred, or even a thousand corpse puppets than face that giant strategic war machine.

The red laser beam on the opponent's head can be shot down even if the main battleship approaches. How can she, an ordinary infantry with some supernatural powers, dare to pretend to die and approach easily?

'Miranda! annie! '

'You two guys, hurry up and keep up, don't fall behind! ! '

At this time, without waiting for the two to continue chatting for a while, Shepard's roar came from the battle channel.

It turned out that at this time, the group of them had rushed to the forefront, and they were about to reach the gate of the core position of the Turians. Now there were only little Anne and Miranda standing alone at the end. chattering.

"I'm coming!"

-=????????=??????????(??Д`)??︻デ═一

Hearing that the big sister Shepard in front had already begun to urge angrily, and seeing that there was indeed no one around, and there were only a few empty landing craft parked on the ground, Little Annie hurriedly yelled Run forward quickly.

If she was fighting alone, then she might just become invisible and develop wretchedly, so she wouldn't get together with those stupid guys who only cheated others and dragged herself down to form a group!

She, the most powerful ADC in the world of Valoran, is actually more suitable for jungle and solo waves, so she doesn't like to go to the line and team battles! Of course, she doesn't like replenishing soldiers or anything, she just likes to grab the heads of monsters that look very powerful!

"receive!"

"Sorry, I'm not going to take care of this kid... Otherwise, how could I be the last one?"

instigate! instigate!

Miranda also smiled and quickly followed behind the little guy, raising her hand from time to time to shoot and kill the ugly corpse puppets who dared to approach them, which seemed to be endless.

She figured it out, those corpse puppets...seemed to have a bit of Turian appearance?

Then it must be that the Reapers made it temporarily with the corpses of Turian soldiers according to local conditions, for example, the kind of spike conversion tools used by Geth that they had seen before?

Although she didn't see those weird spikes on the battlefield, it is conceivable that since the technology of the geth comes from the reaper, then the original transformation technology of the reaper itself will definitely be better than that of the geth more efficient!

From this point of view, when those reapers transform corpses into corpse puppets, they don't need too troublesome transformation procedures or those spikes at all?

"I don't need you to take care of me, I'm much better than all of you!"

(???????????????????)

"You brat, thanks to the fact that I killed several monsters for you just now!"

Miranda raised her hand and shot, and killed another corpse puppet who wanted to rush over to block the way, allowing the two to easily pass over each other's corpse and chase Shepard and others in the distance.

"You are obviously robbing monsters!"

(?????????????)

As a support, is it reasonable to rob her of an ADC pawn? Just now, she clearly sent them over strangely, intending to use a knife to solve them, otherwise, Her Excellency Anne, Head of State, would have shot them over.

"What monster grabbing?"

'You two guys, stop making trouble, get over here! ! '

Shepard's voice once again roared in the channel, scaring Miranda to quicken her pace, and holding the little guy's arm with her free left hand, she ran forward desperately...

———————

The Protoss Gold Fleet in the Koprulu sector has finally arrived between the orbits of the Earth and Mars in this mass effect world, and huge golden or blue giant ships leaped from the space gate into the pitch-black cosmic space .

The number of this fleet is about 50,000 large and small warships. If we add the current human battleships of more than 30,000, it can be called a combined fleet of 100,000 ships!

The Golden Fleet is the main fleet of the protoss, and those who come here account for half of the forces of the protoss of each department! It can be said that in this Federation of Heroes expedition to the alien plane, the protoss contributed the most, and the second is the insects who are about to be directly summoned by a little guy to the homes of various races in the Citadel to harm the Reapers and aliens. Groups.

The reason why the Golden Fleet has such a title is because this huge fleet was formed by the Protoss Archbishop Artanis with the Aiur faction. , So, a long time ago, their appearance was praised and feared by the humans in the star area, and thus they have been used until now.

In fact, in the name of the protoss, it is not the name "Golden Fleet", but after the protoss and humans established diplomatic relations and communicated with each other, the name of the fleet was translated into this.

The Golden Fleet is actually not all the golden giant ships, except for the Protoss Aircraft Carrier, Protoss Mothership, Storm Warship, Warp Prism, and those large Phoenix fighters that are golden or have a golden shell, they also have a large number of The void glow ship, limited battleship, storm battleship, etc...

Although their colors are not all golden, after the Brood War, humans and Zergs are used to calling the fleet of the protoss this way, and until the Federation of Heroes was established, this saying has always been like this and has never changed.

And now, the flagship of this golden fleet is a 74.547-kilometer-long gigantic cosmic fortress-like golden shell and a gigantic ship shining with blue light!

Its length is longer than the total length of 44.7 kilometers of the Citadel space station, the largest and longest of Mass Effect, and wider than the diameter of Citadel of 12.8 kilometers! Rather than saying that it is a battleship, it is more appropriate to say that it is a giant space station? However, it is indeed a battleship, a spaceship that can fight, move and jump at will!

Its name is the Spear of Adun! ! !

The Spear of Adun is the flagship of the Protoss Archbishop Artanis. It can be said that it is a great masterpiece created by the engineers of Kalei in the most glorious period of the Protoss! Of course, the energy required by this giant ship is also terrifying! In fact, Carlisle engineers installed an artificial star in the core of this giant ship and used it as an energy source.

"..."

"It's unimaginable..."

"Archbishop Artanis, are you really sure that it is really a spaceship of your protoss, not a space station?"

Accompanied by General Galen of the Federation Marine Corps, Archbishop Artanis of the Kalei Protoss, and Serrandis, the senior executive of the Kalei Protoss, General Anderson of the Earth Star Alliance is like Grandma Liu who has entered the Grand View Garden. , I was so shocked that my eyeballs almost didn't fall off!

Originally, he thought that the human super battleships of the Federation of Heroes were strong enough, and any one of them could beat the Asari's Destiny Extraordinary! But now, after seeing the golden fleet of the Protoss, seeing those aircraft carriers, those Notre Dame ships, and this appalling Spear of Adun, he doesn't know what words to use to describe it...

If it is to build a space station that orbits stars or planets in orbit, the Star Alliance has worked hard for more than ten years on such a behemoth, and they can barely build it regardless of the cost! But... like the other party, directly as the flagship of the fleet, and can also follow the fleet to fly, fight and jump... Then they human beings try their best, and they may not be able to build it in a hundred years!

"Of course, humans..."

"The Spear of Adun is the pride of our Protoss family. It was approved and built by the Supreme Council of the Kalai Protoss in the glorious era of the Protoss civilization... These ships, They are self-sufficient, can support the Protoss through the most difficult period, and carry legendary warriors and vast knowledge, it is the most powerful warship in our Koprulu sector!"

"Even if it is the Leviathan with the largest swarm, their length is only five kilometers at most!"

At this time, Serendis, the high-ranking executive of the Kalai protoss who followed beside him, proudly spoke first.

She was very satisfied with this human being's amazement at their protoss manufacturing technology and powerful strength, and she regained the sense of superiority that she had not obtained among the humans in the star area for a long time! Therefore, she is happy to explain a few more sentences for this human being.

"A 5,000-meter swarm warship?"

"Sorry... Even if it is only five kilometers, our Star Alliance is far behind..."

If Admiral Anderson remembers correctly, the length of the largest dreadnought ship in their Star Alliance seems to be 1880 meters? Yes, that's true, the unit is really just 'meters', not kilometers...

"You don't have to feel hesitant..."

"Human Anderson... The Spear of Adun is a masterpiece of our protoss. There are only three ships like it. Even if we were to rebuild it, it would be powerless..."

Seeing that the admiral of the Human Star Federation seemed to have a depressed expression, Archbishop Artanis gave a word of comfort.

"Three ships!!"

"God... you actually have three ships?!"

With a shock, Anderson almost jumped up on the spot!

He also thought that this kind of thing must be in time for this killer weapon called the Protoss race. It would be great to have one, and it would definitely not be mass-produced like those aircraft carriers and Notre Dame ships outside. It's done, and there are three more ships? !

"certainly!"

"However, currently only the Spear of Adun can fight..."

Speaking of this, Artanis was also thankful and depressed, because he remembered the brave templars and clansmen who fell on Aiur back then.

"Why is this?!"

Anderson couldn't see the expression of the Archbishop of Artanis Protoss, he still asked.

In fact, no non-Protoss race can judge the mood of a Protoss from their expressions, because most of their faces and mouths are covered by armor, except for a pair of blue eyes, He couldn't recognize anything.

"..."

"Originally, our Kalai Protoss did have three ark ships..."

"The names of the three arks are the Spear of Adun, the Pride of Ortaris, and the Memory of Nessing...Among them, the Pride of Ortaris and the Memory of Nessing were destroyed when the lord of the swarm invaded our home planet Ai. When I was in Er, I was shot down by Zerg because of a hasty takeoff..."

"It wasn't until a few years ago that we started to fix them..."

"Even with the support of resources from the entire Federation, it will not be able to be launched and put into use in the next few years."

Having said that, even Archbishop Artanis couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

At the beginning, if the Spear of Adun failed to take off due to unsatisfied conditions, I am afraid that the ark mothership of their protoss can only continue to lie down like the pride of Ortaris and the memory of Nessing. On the grounds of Ayr, waiting for a long fix, huh?

"Sorry, I don't know about this, I hope you don't mind my offense?"

Anderson also heard that the other party was not in a good mood, so he hurriedly spoke out to comfort him.

"Actually, it's nothing..."

"Peace must pay a price... It is the past disputes and sacrifices that can better reflect the nobility of our star region's peace and unity..."

Sighing, Archbishop Artanis said something that Anderson somewhat agreed with.

"!!"

"Artanis! Is there anything strange in here? Why do I seem to feel a faint wave of evil and chaotic power coming from inside?!"

When the four of them were walking and chatting inside the extremely large Spear of Adun, Galen suddenly stood still and pointed at a door sealed with energy crystals, and several templar warriors were fanatical. asked the cabin guarded by the reporter.

This is not the first time Galen has come to the giant ship Spear of Adun!

At the beginning, when he was fighting against the miscellaneous expeditionary forces of UED, he often wandered on this spaceship. Although he dare not say that he has been to every area on this spaceship, he believes that in those few years Among them, he is very clear about most of the main areas on this giant ship, especially this military area!

However, he is sure that this place used to be a material warehouse...

But first, why is this place transformed into this way? Not only is it heavily defended, guarded by a team of the most elite templars, but also there are faint rumors that it is obviously different from the Kalai Protoss or the Nerazim Protoss. Abnormal energy fluctuations?

"Galen..."

"It seems that what Zeratul said is right, your strength has improved again, and you are one step closer to breaking through the peak of mortals..."

The archbishop didn't explain immediately, but started to look Galen up and down.

Even Serrandis, the high-ranking consul next to the archbishop, was staring at the general of the Star Alliance Marine Corps with envious eyes.

"Breakthrough or something, it's still too early! You'd better tell me, what good things are you hiding inside?"

Galen is not the kind of person who is fooled by others' compliments. He just wants to know what kind of stuff is locked in this tightly guarded warehouse?

"..."

"It was handed over to us by our protoss research base, and let us bring it to Your Excellency Head of State Anne..."

"Forget it, it's very troublesome to explain this matter, so let you all come in and take a look... With people like us here, the guy inside can't do anything."

Archbishop Artanis, who wanted to patiently explain something, glanced at Galen, and then thought about the power of himself and Serrandis, so he simply stepped forward and waved to the guards to open the heart-powered crystal, phase A static stand cell woven together by crystals and energy webs.

When the gate composed of golden alloy and blue energy crystal partition wall was opened by the guards with complicated procedures, secret orders and energy, they walked into this small warehouse.

"!!"

"What the hell is this? It's dangerous. How did you catch it?!"

Walking inside, he glanced at the half-man, half-fish on the left who was holding a cold weapon and spear, and was locked in a static force field cage. Galen ignored it, but concentrated on looking at the monster on the right who was also caught Locked in a static position cage, motionless, but the energy emitted is extremely powerful fiery red ferocious monster!

"They... were all captured by our protoss secret biological research base on a planet with turbulent time and space. Capturing it hurt many of our elite templars until we dispatched the Notre Dame ship, Just knocked it down... We don't know where they come from, because these two kinds of creatures shouldn't exist on that planet at all..."

"Originally, our protoss wanted to dissect them after the research, but..."

After looking at the ferocious red monster with a red light on his forehead and a pair of bloodthirsty eyes that seemed to be staring at him all the time, Archbishop Artanis guided Galen to look at the one on the left. A smaller half-man, half-fish monster.

"But this guy..."

"It accidentally saw the holographic portrait of our head of state and reacted violently, and kept saying some languages ​​that we couldn't translate..."

"So, our Institute of Secret Biology entrusted us to bring them to this plane together, intending to show it to our head of state who hasn't been back for many years?"

"I think she might recognize them?"

That's right, that's probably how it is!

If it weren't for this murloc-like guy who reacted abnormally to the image of the head of the Federation of Heroes, Anne, the two of them would have been dissected by the protoss research base long ago.

"Then you have to wait for a while, our head of state is not good to see..."

Shaking his head, Galen, who couldn't see anything, thought about it, but still didn't make a comment.
