Chapter 573 ? Fusion Strike Detected on the Way?
? "Annie..."
"Didn't you eat a lot of snacks when you were on Normandy II? Why are you looking for something to eat now?"
Miranda was a little puzzled. Why does this little guy seem to be more edible than her with his small arms, legs, and stomach?
Dr. Kailin? Jakovos on the boat obviously checked this little guy. Apart from her excellent physical fitness, strong supernatural reactions and that kind of strange magic, this girl seems to be compatible with A normal human little girl is almost the same, and the metabolism has not been found to be different. How can she know how to eat all day long?
"!!"
"You still mentioned this to me, you ate more than me just now! It doesn't count if you ate up all of your own, and you even made a group to exploit my bag, so I'm not full now!"
(っ`-??c)??
Eat well, sleep well, and have fun. This is what Anne wanted to do the most, and eating was at the top of the list. Now she thinks about eating. Only when she is full can she have the energy to sleep, and if she sleeps enough, she will be energetic. To play, this simple truth, this Miranda is so old, he doesn't even know it?
Really... so stupid! !
"I ate an extra one of yours!"
Miranda almost laughed, this stingy guy, it happened so long ago, and he almost finished digesting it, this brat still can't forget it?
"It's two, two!!"
??(????v????)??
When she found out that the other party had lied about the numbers, Annie quickly stretched out two fingers to reiterate! It's only been less than half an hour, she will never remember it wrong!
"my God……"
Miranda clutched her forehead and turned her face away, not wanting to leave this annoying brat again!
"I'm sorry, we're a military camp here. Apart from the D-amino acid food suitable for us Turians, there seems to be nothing else..."
"Maybe I remembered it wrong, anyway, they are placed over there, you can go and have a look? However, I don't recommend that you humans eat it casually... Although they are not fatal,
But at least it will make you humans uncomfortable for a long time. "
Standing intently in the middle of his bunker-like command center and looking at the military map in front of the console, General Corinthas the Turian was obviously not in the mood to receive that human child, so he just He casually pointed to a corner of the bunker command center.
There, there was a litter of metal boxes and blobs, all of that canned military ready-to-eat food! Some of them have been opened and eaten up, and some are completely new and untouched, just piled up in a corner in a mess, and no one wants to tidy them up.
"Huh? Is there really something delicious?"
??(????`??)?
Bored, she was idle anyway, Annie thought that there was really something good, so she went over at once, picked up a can and began to examine it carefully.
Bang! !
However... within a few seconds of picking it up, she quickly threw it back with a bit of disgust and grinned disgustedly.
"I don't want to eat your canned worms, it's so disgusting to look at!!"
(ˉ▽￣～)cut~~
If it's something delicious, it doesn't matter if it's right-handed amino acid food or left-handed amino acid food, Annie can eat it anyway, anyway, foreign protein or something, it's definitely not poisonous to her!
But……
What the hell are things like this pile of cans with disgusting sticky bugs printed on the shells? Anyway, it must not be eaten by humans!
No matter how delicious it is, she is not sensitive to the bugs that these turians eat...
Although little Annie herself has long stood at the top of the food chain in many worlds, she has eaten everything from giant dragons to small fish and shrimp! But bugs and the like...the kind of things that make you feel sick when you look at them, she will definitely exclude them from her small recipe immediately, and she will never choose them!
"..."
General Corinthus of the Turians just looked back at the other party, and then turned his head again soon.
He still has a very important military situation to deal with, because every moment, countless Turian warriors or the people on Palevin are slaughtered by the Reapers; every second, their land will be contaminated with more The blood of their turians!
Therefore, he has no time to waste time talking to that little girl!
He can only pray now, hoping that Shepard can repair the communication tower on time, and then let the other party get in touch with their new Turian patriarch, so that the so-called reinforcements can come quickly and rescue their Turians!
only……
What he doesn't know is, where are those reinforcements now? Are they above Menel's orbit, or are they outside the Paleven galaxy, or are they farther away, and have not jumped through the mass effect relay?
He doesn't know anything about it...
"Ha! Little guy!"
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! These canned bugs are the top military ingredients of the Turians. If you buy them outside, you can buy a can of about 10,000 star coins, which is much more expensive than the ones we usually eat. too much!"
"And I've also heard that...they are delicious, and ordinary Turians can't eat them even if they want to?"
Miranda, who did not follow Shepard to repair the tower, also followed little Anne over boredly, but she, who was well-informed, recognized at a glance that this canned food was a special offering for the Turian army. Only those troops who are fighting the enemy are eligible to enjoy it. Ordinary people, no matter how rich they are, will not be able to eat it.
Of course, this kind of food that symbolizes honor in the army, its appearance is a bit bad...
Thinking of these Turian soldiers grabbing sticky maggot-like worms covered with green mucus from the cans and putting them in their mouths, even Miranda couldn't help feeling a little sick Nausea... Perhaps, this is where the customs of creatures of different races, cultures, and aesthetics differ?
Just like most of them on earth like to eat fish, but there are a small number of earth humans who insist on tradition and firmly refuse to eat fish. They still think that people who eat fish are the kind of evil, disgusting, and shameless guys?
"Is it really that delicious? Why don't you eat it now?"
*(??*ˊ??ˋ)??*??
In the blink of an eye, Annie suddenly picked up a can, made a gesture to open it, and handed it to the elder sister Miranda... As long as the other party eats a can in front of her, she will recognize that it is a good thing!
Of course, she herself would never eat with the other party.
For lunch and the like, it would be better to wait until they finish fighting the reaper here and return to Normandy II, and then eat the delicious lunch prepared for her by the chef sergeant uncle!
"Ha! Thanks, but I'm not hungry right now!"
"You'd better take some back and give it to the Archangel Galas who was almost killed by you! In that case, I think he will be very grateful to you."
Seeing the harmless look on the little guy's face, Mengmengda kindly handed him a can, Miranda hurriedly took a step back without any trace, and then shouted at the guy who wanted to see her make a fool of herself. Suggested.
She is not a Turian, how could she eat such a thing?
Think about the Gellars on Normandy No. 2 now, his unlucky guy who pretends to die and eats food from other races indiscriminately, it is a lesson from the past!
"I didn't punish him, obviously he insisted on coming to ask me for snacks, so what's my business?!"
(?????????????)
Annie didn't take this blame, she never thought of punishing that crooked star named Gailas!
At that time, that shameless guy, who ate so happily when he asked himself for snacks, who knew that the other party would be so useless, and even spit out bile in a while?
That kind of thing is disgusting to think about!
"But we all feel that it was you who misled him on purpose?"
Miranda folded her arms and lowered her head to playfully stare at this cunning little guy. She will not be fooled by the other party just like that Gellars.
"I didn't!!"
(????ˇεˇ????)
This villain Miranda is just talking nonsense, anyway, Anne herself will definitely not admit it!
"You... not good! Squat down!!!"
boom! boom!
Rumble! ! !
When Miranda was about to say something, she realized something was wrong with the electricity, so she subconsciously yelled and hugged her head and squatted on the ground for the first time!
At the same time, almost at that moment, outside the bunker-like Turian command center, several huge explosions rang out violently, and then... countless fragments exploded with that red flame, Those blasting fragments, sand and steel debris swept in directly along the firing port, causing several Turian soldiers and officers who didn't react in time to be smashed on the spot with their mass effect shields and fell directly into a pool of blood wailing.
"Wow……"
〣(??Δ??)〣
"It's not good, a lot of monsters fell from the sky... It doesn't seem right to say that, they should have been deliberately dropped by those villains of the Reaper?!"
∑(￣□￣*|||
Seeing the red flames and energy blasted outside, Annie thought it was these unlucky Turians whose base was bombed by the Reaper spaceship again!
But who would have thought that it turned out to be a new landing method for the reaper monsters. They didn't use landing craft to land, nor did they use that kind of monster aircraft to fly, let alone use other transmission modes, but directly smashed them from high altitude. Come down, and by the way, can it be used as a bomb for a round of bombing?
(…)
(Little master, this little one knows!
That is actually the Reaper's advanced application of the mass effect field. They can not only cause explosive damage to the enemy when they are directly smashed down like that, but also control the impact force within the range that those transformed monsters can bear, so that they will not be directly smashed Dead bomb?
???????????????
——Because those Reapers don't need to care about the life and death of soldiers, and they don't have the kind of advanced teleportation matrix of Protoss, so they like to use this simple and crude method. And this knowledge, Tibbers and his little master have actually read it, it's just... some bad guy doesn't take this kind of boring stuff seriously, but Tibbers himself secretly wrote it down That's all. )
"Quick! Hurry up and fight back, destroy them!!"
Seeing that the Reapers had accurately found their command center, General Corinthas ignored the others, and hurriedly shouted to those commanders and soldiers who were not injured or seriously injured to pick up their weapons and prepare to fight back!
As for the guards standing guard outside, he no longer had any hope...
Under that kind of serial explosion, many of them in the headquarters were too late to escape and were seriously injured, let alone the soldiers outside.
Da da da da! ! !
At this time, the sentry guns on the top of the surrounding buildings and the countless large and small mechanical turrets on the ground have begun to violently fire countless red mass-effect bullets or blue energy pulses, frantically suppressing those who want to raid their turian headquarters the harvesters.
"Quick! Stand up and pick up your weapons!!"
General Corinthus picked up a turian mass effect rifle, and shouted at the soldiers still lying on the ground wailing.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two Touareg soldiers whose mass effect shields had bottomed out just picked up their weapons and opened the iron gate and rushed out. Before they could find cover, they were knocked down by the enemy on the spot, scaring Miranda next to him and kicked them on the ground. lock them and lock them directly from the inside.
As for whether the two unlucky guys outside are dead or not, she won't care!
"..."
Seeing this situation, General Corinthus couldn't help but lamented...
From this point of view, the information rumored by the outside world, as well as the statement about the high IQ of the Reaper monsters shown in those materials, must be correct!
Their headquarters is so hidden, how could it be discovered and raided by those Reapers?
If, coupled with their disturbed communication towers, it is not difficult to imagine: those Reapers clearly wanted to paralyze the command and communication of their Turians first, throwing their Turian command into chaos, and then Raid the large and small command centers, and then divide and surround and strangle their turian bases one by one, and finally completely annihilate their entire turian race?
The opponent's strategy is very vicious, very efficient, but also very practical!
However, even if he knew the enemy's plan, there was nothing he could do now! Because... the enemy is already outside now, but his headquarters has suffered heavy casualties. If the soldiers from other parts of the base can't come to support in time, then they will die!
Even if the turian warriors finally wiped out this small group of enemies who raided the base, by then, the opponent's goal would have been achieved, and then... everything would be meaningless!
"asshole!"
Da da da da! !
Miranda got up and shot a few turians-like monsters to the ground, and quickly retreated when her mass effect shield sounded the alarm.
"I warned you all, why is the reaction so slow?!"
Miranda couldn't help cursing bitterly after discovering that in this headquarters, there were heavy casualties in an instant, and there was only one Turian general left who just ran out to die without thinking.
Just now, she clearly yelled for everyone to squat immediately.
But the result...
At that time, except for this Turian general who responded in a timely manner, the other Turians were still standing dumbfounded, and were successfully attacked by the explosion fragments from the outside, the shrapnel that were swept in from the horizontal shooting port of the bunker, and As for now, there is no helper who can stare at the shield and shoot to suppress the enemy!
Now it's all right, only the three of them are left intact, but the monsters outside seem determined to take down the Turian's command post, so what can she do now? !
"that is!"
"Who made you grow so tall? You don't even need to squat down when you look at me, but those fragments couldn't reach me just now!"
??(??ˉ??????ˉ??????)??
Annie hurriedly brought an iron box over, imitating Miranda's example, reprimanding these idiots and Crooked Star Turians.
She didn't squat down at all just now, but her height is not as high as the shooting port of this command bunker, so the fragments swept in after the explosion outside just now couldn't hit her at all, and it was only from her Some stones and iron slag shot out from the top of his head.
And this is the benefit of children, the target is small and short, so the enemy's attacks can't easily hit her!
Of course, the disadvantages of being short of height are not without its disadvantages. For example, sister Miranda and the Turian general who is not good at marksmanship can already shoot outside, but she can't see the situation outside, so she can only shoot first. Moved an iron box under his feet, and barely exposed half of his body from the shooting port of the bunker.
"..."
Benedict! Benedict! Benedict!
General Corinthus has no time to pay attention to the complaints and taunts from the little girl, nor to the wounded officers and soldiers. He just stood silently on the other side of Miranda, using his own hands With the rifle in the bunker, cooperate with the earth woman to suppress the reaper monsters who want to rush in from the other side of the bunker!
They have to hold out until the soldiers find out what's going on here and come to reinforce them, or the sentry turrets successfully clear out the raiding troops of the Reapers! Otherwise, once the enemy rushed in, they would all be dead.
"Eh? It doesn't seem right!"
"Are those really Harvester monsters? Why do they look like you Crooked Stars?"
!!? (??''????)??︻デ═ A bang!
After finally getting to the shooting window, Annie noticed that the Reaper soldiers who attacked here seemed to look exactly like the Turians as soon as they were about to shoot? Although they looked uglier, it was obvious that those villains were the same kind of creatures as the turians, so there must be nothing wrong with them!
So, she smashed the opponent with one shot, and at the same time turned her head to ask the Turian general who was squatting down and waiting for the mass effect shield to recover.
"..."
Da da da da! ! !
"Those, we call them 'Predators'... They were transformed by the Reapers after our soldiers died..."
"Be careful, their shields are stronger than those of our warriors, and they use our Turian-style 'Phaeston' assault rifles! And, don't forget to knock their heads off! , otherwise they will infect each other's fallen companions or soldiers, so as to 'resurrect' them directly! Also, they will release those troublesome power shields to each other!!"
After firing a round of bullets, General Turian, who still couldn't kill the looter in the distance, could only sigh and shrink back to wait for his shield to cool down, because those guys are really hard to deal with... Even though they have a defensive advantage, the situation is not so good!
Therefore, he vaguely felt that if that Shepard didn't call for reinforcements quickly, their base might not last long.
Boom! !
"But, they don't seem to be very powerful..."
∑(??△｀)? !
The three Reapers who were lining up in a tactical formation, trying to consume the shield of a companion in front and trying to rush in, were easily knocked out of the three heads by Little Annie, and then fell limply on the ground. on the icy ground in front of the fort.
She killed three of them with one shot, as if they were ordinary, she didn't think those turian-turned reapers were so powerful!
"That's because your weapon is too powerful!"
"Hurry up, Annie, don't be dazed, hurry up and concentrate on cleaning them up, the two of us will cover you!!"
Finding that the 20mm sniper rifle in Little Annie's hand was surprisingly effective against those predator monsters, Miranda quickly came up with an effective tactic. She cooperated with the Corinthian general, turned the gun and began to shoot at those monsters. The guy who is too close to the fort suppresses the speed of the opponent's touch, but it does not require that the opponent must be killed.
She believed that Annie, a powerful guy, would be able to solve them easily!
"..."
Da da da! ! !
General Corinthas the Turian didn't say much, but cooperated silently.
It never occurred to him that this little human being, the other party didn't follow around to mess around, but really had the ability? Looking at the opponent's marksmanship that must hit every hit, it is obvious that he is at least an elite sniper?
Could it be... Humans' training of fighters has already started from children?
"No problem! Don't worry, Sister Miranda, none of them will be able to get in!"
(??????????)︻デ═Good!
Boom!
The part above the chest of a predator who wanted to rush over while firing was blasted to pieces with the sound of the gunfire!
"You take care, with me here, I guarantee that none of them can fight!"
(*??︶??*).. ︻デ═一.:*??
With her, the great Head of State Anne, here, the two of them will definitely not die! However, she can't care about those guys who were accidentally blown to the ground just now.
Boom! Boom!
One after another, the reaper monsters, the monsters that looked exactly like the turians fell to the ground one after another...
Soon, with Annie's efficient shooting, those monsters began to be killed one by one on the way of charge, lying down in a large fan-shaped area outside the bunker!
They were all smashed to pieces or lost their heads!
And the remaining ones finally didn't dare to rush in here any more. Instead, under the pressure of the three of them and the sentry machine guns, they retreated to the bunkers one by one and started fighting with this Turian. The headquarters stood in a stalemate and fired.
Obviously, they with high-level intelligence can't rush at the moment, and they dare not rush... If this continues, it's only a matter of time before they are wiped out.
"Huh! Thank you for your help, the situation is finally stable now!"
General Corinthus finally breathed a sigh of relief, and replaced a thermal energy magazine for his rifle.
Outside, there were at least a hundred harvester monsters. After dozens of them were killed by this little human sniper, the remaining ones finally dared not show their heads! I'm afraid they also know that it is useless to charge again, and they can only fight with other soldiers who came to support them from a distance.
He believed that, after a while, none of the reaper monsters and looters who dared to raid their headquarters would even try to escape!
However……
boom! ! !
At this time, another red ball of fire quickly fell from the sky. After it exploded, it directly blasted the sentry machine gun position in the distance into a mess of fragments!
Immediately afterwards, the red light and the flames of the explosion dissipated, and a huge and hideous monster and a group of corpse puppets rushed out of it! Especially that huge monster, the opponent charged directly to the top of a building, and easily smashed the Turian soldier above who was shooting fiercely, as well as the double-mounted large-caliber machine gun turret into a single blow. Beach broken pieces!
"..."
"Then, what kind of weird thing is that?!"
Miranda can swear that she has never seen such a monster in the database of Normandy II or the Star Alliance! And looking at the other person's body shape and the violent power displayed, she knew without thinking that the guy in the distance was definitely not easy to mess with!
"Ruined……"
Seeing the monsters wreaking havoc in the distance, destroying the positions of turrets and automatic sentry machine guns between charges and bounces, General Corinthus' face turned pale... They have seen that kind of monster before , At that time, the opponent even rushed into their formation, killed and injured their entire squadron of Turians, more than a hundred soldiers!
What's more, the opponents are all crazy and cruel attack methods of hitting, tearing, and smashing, which deal a serious blow to the morale of their troops! If they hadn't had a lot of heavy weapons on the periphery at that time, the defense lines outside the base would have fallen under the impact of those many monsters.
However, there is no heavy firepower arranged in their base now... So, he suddenly feels a little desperate now? Or, are they going to rush out now while the predators outside are not too suppressed here?
"That's a 'vicious beast'..."
"They may have been formed out of a krogan body combined with a turian head with powers... but that doesn't matter, what matters: they have powerful armor and shields, and huge The power and the berserk charging speed... What's more frightening is that ordinary light weapons can't deal with them..."
"Look..."
At this time, in the distance, countless machine gun posts kept pointing their guns at the beast, at least several bullet chains were shooting fiercely at the opponent! However, the opponent just kept firing with the chain of ammunition, and kept hammering the sentry turrets into a pile of tatters until there were no more automatic weapons to shoot them!
"Not good! It's over! It's coming!!"
Miranda also tentatively fired a round of bullets at the opponent with those powerful Turian rifles from a distance, and did not stop until the thermal energy clips were flushed red. However, she was shocked to find that even if she shot It was very accurate, and none of the bullets missed, but the other party really seemed to have nothing to do, and turned his head slowly, and stared at her with bloodthirsty and cruel red eyes?
Did Miranda accidentally provoke hatred? !
'Howl~ roar! ! '
Sure enough, the ferocious beast roared towards Miranda first, and after the terrifying sound swept towards this side, it got short and charged towards this side at high speed!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of huge footsteps resounded on the ground, causing waves of tremors... It seemed that the other party was planning to crash directly into the bunker where they were hiding? And that somewhat flimsy metal gate certainly couldn't stop the opponent!
Singular point! !
When he got ruthless, Miranda mobilized almost half of his abilities, cast a dark sphere and created a high-intensity mass effect field, and threw it directly in the direction of the monster! As long as the enemy approaches, they will be sucked into the sphere and temporarily unable to take any action. Then, they can take the opportunity to destroy the opponent when he has no shield!
However……
"Run! It's really going to crash in!!"
Seeing that the other party was not afraid of the ability she released, but charged over even more violently, Miranda was so frightened that she dropped the turian rifle in her hand, turned around and planned to pull little Annie to escape through the other door of the bunker. go out.
As for whether the Turian General Corinthas next to him will run or not, she can't care too much now.
but……
Boom! ! !
A gunshot sounded so familiar to Miranda, and then...
There is nothing after that!
Miranda was worried that the sound of the monster crashing into the door did not resound, but a "噗嗤嗤" elongated sound, which seemed to be the abnormal sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and rubbing against the ground one week?
And when she turned her head in a daze and looked outside the bunker, she discovered that the big reaper monster called the beast had fallen to the ground, twitched violently for a few times, and then finally remained motionless?
"That guy is so stupid, does it think that I can't hit it by retracting its head?"
(?????????????)??
So the head of the big Turian shrank into the gap of the shoulder armor. Although the gap was not very big, Annie still managed to shoot her powerful 20mm bullet directly and accurately. Then, if the other party loses his head, he must die straight away!
She swore that she really didn't cheat just now, she just used the powerful lethality of the phantom rifle in her hand to kill the enemy.
So, it turns out that no matter how powerful a monster is, it must protect its head. Once the head is knocked out, no matter how strong the body is, no matter how thick the armor is, it will be useless! As long as there is no head, it will die!
"this……"
"Well, I forgot about your little guy's skills!"
After being dazed for a while, Miranda came back to her senses, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, and directly sat down on a box next to her, and began to calm down her heart that had just fluctuated violently.
She was so dizzy just now that she almost forgot what this little guy is capable of!
"???"
This little human girl...how could she be so powerful? Kill a beast with a single shot, and still use a headshot? !
However, this is also good...
General Corinthas, the Turian who didn't know who the opponent was, could only squat aside silently like Miranda, holding his weapon, looking at the man who was still standing on the box and tiptoeing. Like playing around, the little girl named and killed the remaining reaper monsters, looters and scattered corpse puppets one by one.
In this situation, there is no such thing as a general who is not very good at fighting.
———————
The Citadel Space Station, now in every city, block, passage, and room, the siren calling for emergency evacuation is resounding everywhere!
At this time, the cities of the five David districts of the Citadel of God have also completed the closing work of the arm guards, and it has been compressed to form a huge cylinder that is impregnable! That's right, the council intends to use the tough outer shell of the Citadel to resist the possible upcoming violent attack of the Reapers.
In such a bad situation, they really have no other better way than passive defense like this!
"What's going on now?"
"Those Reapers, how did they come to the star field of our Divine Castle?!"
Councilor Asari rushed to the office of Councilor Turian in a panic, followed by Councilor Salari.
At this time, the human councilors, Udina and Turian councilors, had already been waiting for them here for a long time.
"..."
However, seeing the two people coming, the human congressman Udina did not speak. He opened his mouth slightly at first, and finally, he just glanced at the Turian who was also silent, shaking his head and standing aside silently. .
Now the main force of the Citadel Fleet is commanded by the Turians, and whether it is the Human Star Alliance, the Asari or the Salari, their fleets have already returned to the star fields of their respective home planets to resist the Reapers went! Originally, the Star Alliance could send some fleets to garrison here, but because the route was cut off by the Reapers, the arrival of the large fleet would definitely cause the Reapers to react, so it has been delayed until now.
After all, whether it is the fleet of the Star Alliance or the fleet of the Federation of Heroes in the Koprulu sector, it is impossible for them to be invisible like the Normandy II, and then sneak into the giant snake under the eyes of the Reaper. Nebula's Citadel space station is here.
Although the warships of the Federation of Heroes in that star area can make that so-called leap, they definitely dare not use long-distance teleportation casually before exploring this strange galaxy. They can only rely on the quality After the effect repeaters arrive at each star area and complete the detection work, they can make those ultra-long-distance leaps after obtaining accurate data and the trajectories of the stars!
"It's a bad situation, in fact, it couldn't have been worse..."
The Turian councilor finally shook his head helplessly. He has nothing to do now.
"They jumped out of nowhere, then cut off communications before we could react and knocked out our guard fleet, not a single one remained..."
"As for the hundreds of cruisers gathered by our Turians and other races of the Citadel, they will definitely not be the opponents of the twenty Reaper ships... Just now, our Turian general also said , those 20 overlord warships of the Reapers are enough to destroy our fleet until we completely occupy this Citadel space station!"
"so……"
Having said that, the Turian councilor fell silent...
Now, he once again understood the power and terror of the Reaper!
Think about it, the Overlord Reaper battleship that Saren and Geth got at the beginning, just one, almost let the other party succeed and occupy the Citadel! At that time, there were even two Turian dreadnoughts in the fleet of the Citadel, as well as the Asari's "Destiny Extraordinary", plus a thousand cruisers and frigates, and even reinforcements from the human fleet...
But what happened?
They were only facing an overlord, the Citadel fleet almost wiped out, even the most powerful "Destiny Extraordinary" almost fell, but if the human Shepard hadn't killed Saren in time, If they smashed the opponent's conspiracy and destroyed the overlord ship by chance, I am afraid that the castle of God will not belong to them now!
Since, at the peak of its strength, the Citadel of God was able to fight in such a miserable manner when facing an overlord... But now, when facing twenty identical Reaper overlord warships, they are also What can be done? Could it be that the remaining hundreds of cruisers, frigates, and patrol boats came to make up the numbers?
The main ships of the Turians stationed here in the Citadel have long been dispatched back to the Palevon galaxy to guard against the Reapers; and the Asari's Destiny Extraordinary also returned to their Athena Nebula at the same time. , back to their second planet in the Panisha galaxy; as for the Salari, let alone mention it, they don't have many decent fleets at all!
Finally, there are humans...
Here in the Citadel of God, although the Star Alliance has less than ten frigates left, but in the solar system, it is said that their fleet now has tens of thousands? However, the far water cannot save the near thirsty. If there is no accident, their divine castle will be completely occupied and destroyed by the reaper before any rescue arrives!
What's more, they can't send any information now...
Those Reapers, those overlord battleships, the moment they jumped to this star field, they interfered with all the communications in the area around the Citadel space station, and used their powerful main guns to accurately destroy all communications around the Citadel The beacon successfully prevented them from sending out any information!
Although the reaper's moves are very old-fashioned, they always interfere and block communication at the first time wherever they go... However, it cannot be denied that this kind of move has been known by almost the entire galaxy's advanced civilizations. The trick is very effective!
In the face of absolute strength, the opponent's tactics are simple, brutal, and tried and tested!
Even if they know, they can only do nothing...
"We are now trapped here by the Reapers, and there is no support..."
Senator Turian sighed inwardly, turned around silently, and looked at the scenery outside the window.
On the left, is the deep space universe beyond the ring area, beautiful and deep, still so fascinating...
On the right side, it is closed to form a closed cylindrical pipeline in the guard area. Countless personal lifeboats, large and small spaceships, cargo ships, etc. are crazily fleeing through the gap in the ring area to the universe outside the castle. ...
He knew that it should be those dignitaries and wealthy businessmen who evacuated here before the arrival of the reaper, but no one wanted to stop them now.
Because, even the C-SEC department of the Fortress of God is starting to have people's hearts fluttering, and they are busy preparing for the evacuation. If the nurses were still doing their best to maintain order, I'm afraid the city in the guard district would have been in chaos long ago, right?
"Then what should our council do now? Should we organize an evacuation immediately, or..."
Councilor Asari just wanted to speak out about asking for help or retreating, but after thinking about it, she felt a little dizzy, so she stopped talking.
Because, now that the communication with the outer space of the divine castle has been completely cut off, they can't find anyone to rescue their divine castle! And evacuation is almost an impossible task, and the Reapers will not give them that time!
The current situation of their God Castle is just as the Turian councilor just said, it is very embarrassing! Even, on the verge of being destroyed at any time?
"Oh! It would be great if I could find out sooner..."
"Member Turian, I think that if our fleet can buy us enough time, the Citadel space station should be able to evacuate the Serpent Nebula directly?"
After exchanging glances with the Asari member of parliament, the Salari member pondered for a while, then took two steps forward and spoke.
As members of the Citadel of God, all of them obviously knew that the space station of the Citadel of God could move and jump to other places by itself when necessary! After all, the Divine Citadel has a tough outer shell, and it has been completely closed together now. Even the Reapers cannot easily penetrate the protection of the Divine Citadel!
but……
That requires enough time for the fleet to prepare for them, at least, it should take one to two hours?
After all, this Citadel space station is really too big... The population alone has more than 20 million people (13.2 million cities in the guard area + more than 10 million people in the base world), so jumping to other star regions is very important for the Citadel space station. He said that it was a huge and difficult challenge, unlike ordinary spaceships, which can go wherever they want.
Otherwise, if you are not careful, it will lead to a huge disaster! !
"no!"
"Our fleet may be wiped out in less than 30 minutes!"
The Turian councilor turned around, stared at the Salari with piercing eyes and said.
He also discussed this option with this human Udina just now. Even if they can really abandon the Serpent Nebula, which is located in the central artery of the Milky Way, and directly jump the Citadel to a safer place, it still requires a lot of preparation time!
But now, what they lack is time!
Because the Reapers came so suddenly... They didn't have any preparations at all! Originally, they planned to wait for the fall of the outer space and the Mass Effect Repeater to implement this option, but who would have thought that those Reapers would use their elite small fleets to raid the Citadel thousands of miles away? This kind of plot?
What's more frightening is that they seem to have succeeded? !
"Then what should we do now?!"
"Members, the importance of the Citadel is unquestionable! I will never give up this place to the Harvesters, I must think of a way!"
Councilor Asari expressed her views loudly. Although she seemed a little hysterical, her determination to stick to the castle and even die here was irrefutable!
She will never abandon their homeland that has been colonized for countless years like a bereaved dog like those bureaucrats and wealthy businessmen who are fleeing in panic!
Yes!
For the Asari, the Citadel space station is their home! And they have always regarded themselves as the masters here, the real masters!
Because, they have settled down and colonized here for more than two thousand years... Although they still haven't been able to fully understand every place and detail here, there is no doubt that: the Castle of God, in name, belongs to the They were Asari, she believed, and so did people of other races!
"That's right! The Citadel is very important to our plan!"
"If we can't get it, then our plan will run aground, and then the reaper can use the Citadel to control the repeater and lock us in each star area until they completely destroy us until!"
"So everyone, when necessary, I suggest... Even if it is destroyed, it must not be handed over to those harvesters!!"
Udina said with a grim expression, she wanted to destroy the Citadel space station!
In fact, after their council negotiated the conditions with Shepard, they acquiesced in lending the Citadel Space Station to the Star Federation and the Federation of Heroes to activate the "Sky Furnace" and deal with the Reapers when necessary ! Of course, that must be done under the supervision of the God's Castle Council!
However,
While they were waiting patiently for the reply from Shepard who went to the Turian home planet Paleven Galaxy to perform a rescue mission, and then were preparing to implement the plan to counter the enemy, fate played a big joke on them!
Those Reapers, they didn't want to give them a chance at all... They directly crossed countless star regions and successfully attacked the Citadel of God, and once they made a move, there were a total of twenty powerful Overlord-level Reaper warships!
"..."
"Everyone, the Reapers are now invading our asteroid-modified space station, and most of them have landed there and are slaughtering our soldiers..."
"But! In fact, we still have a chance now, the last chance!"
Seeing that everyone was silent and no one had a better solution, the Turian councilor finally turned his head viciously. Although he spoke in a slow tone, bloodthirsty and determined red light flashed in his eyes. !
Yes, he has already thought of a way to deal with the Reapers!
Although it may be cruel and unfair to the soldiers who are fighting the bloody battle with the Reapers ahead, but...they have no choice! Because, that is their only chance! Once missed, there will be no possibility of defeating the enemy!
At that time, the entire galaxy will be beyond redemption...
"What method?!"
"Speak quickly, Senator Turian, please don't be so secretive at this time!!!"
The Asari and the Salari urgently asked the Turian with a ferocious expression.
Although they can also see that the other party's current mood and state are a bit wrong, but now no one goes back and cares about those details! As long as they can successfully resist or repel those Reaper warships, no matter what the price is, they will agree unconditionally!
"Blow it up! Blow up that space station, along with those Overlord Reaper warships that landed there!"
"Blow them all up, leave no one behind!!!"
Panting heavily, the Turian councilor raised his fist with a hideous expression.
Although I know that there are many Earthlings, Asari, and Salari in that space station, there are also more Turian fighters and soldiers of other races!
But now they have no other better way!
Even if they don't do anything, in the end, those soldiers will definitely be destroyed by the huge monster reaper overlord battleships lying on top... Since the results are the same, it is better to make the final contribution to the Citadel now ! That is - let those warriors who are fighting be destroyed together with the Reapers! !
Although cruel,
but……
This is war. In this universe, the most ruthless thing is war! ! !
"..."
Udina didn't speak, because he already knew about this plan before, and he watched Councilor Turian arrange everything with his own eyes, so his expression was a bit ugly, but he wasn't too surprised.
"..."
And the faces of the Asari councilors are much uglier, because there are at least tens of thousands of Asari on that huge space station transformed from an asteroid! Although it only occupies a small part of the hundreds of thousands of fighters there, this kind of decision...
She couldn't bear it, and didn't know whether she should do that... At this moment, her heart was disturbed, and she was no longer a qualified politician and diplomat.
Therefore, silence became her last choice.
"This, how should this be done? I'm sorry, Senator Turian, I feel like there's nothing we can do?!"
"Those Reapers, they won't give us the time they arranged. Our space station doesn't seem to have a self-destruct program..."
The Salarian MP thought for a while, then quickly shook her head. She didn't think it was a feasible idea.
"Hahaha!"
"I see, is that why you let me, Grant, come here for a meeting?!"
At this time, under the astonished gazes of the Salari and the Asari, the leader of the Krogan rebel army who never showed up and only used holograms for meetings, who is now the third guard city autonomous alliance The lord of the Crow, the Crowman Grant, who threatened to blow up the castle before moving to a city in the third guard, brought several of his own men to the office of the council member of the castle.
"Hahaha!"
"I knew, you guys must be playing with my three treasures, am I right?"
Grant walked in unscrupulously, and sat on a chair without hesitation.
"Humph!"
"It's not impossible for me to take action to destroy those Overlord Reapers clinging to the space station, and they will all be finished with a bang!"
"but……"
While talking, Grant stopped, with a sly gleam in his eyes.
"I want a council seat, and I want it now!!"
"..."
"..."
"Hmph! I advise you to hurry up! If those overlords leave the asteroid-reformed space station and detonate the big Ivan in the universe, the damage range will be very limited. If the overlords are far away , maybe there will be several ships left by then? "
