Chapter 226 Star Alliance Flood

22nd Flood

"Halo" universe time: September 26, 2511.

Location: The outer space of the Orion cantilever.

And the Atlas fleet is anchored in this nebula that is filled with a lot of deadly radiation, but also colorful and extremely beautiful.

In fact, the fleet waited here for nearly a month after leaving the jump space.

Because a Paris-class frigate was completing the transfer of personnel and the deployment of corresponding vehicles, it entered the jump space again, further approaching the destination shield world 0459.

And it broke away from the jump voyage within the limit, used the anti-matter engine to accelerate, and then successfully reached the low-Earth orbit at 0459 without disturbing the Covenant fleet.

However, the reason why this Paris-class ship can accurately judge when to stop jumping, and when to accelerate and decelerate is related to the [reset] that most people have never understood.

But the crew members have long been accustomed to the intelligence department's "magic calculations."

now.

The Paris-class frigate, which has turned on the stealth mode and remains silent to the outside world, is anchored on the backside of Shield World 0459.

Inside the Paris-class combat conference room named "Beacon";

The floor height here is about four meters, which allows Vulkan and Riemann to remain standing without bending down, as well as the school-level officers and the captain of the Beacon who participated in this reconnaissance operation, as well as the two intelligent AIs with entities. , and discuss together what to do next.

At the same time, a three-dimensional thumbnail of 0459 is also displayed on the center console, as well as the Covenant fleet on the sunny side.

"Um"

Riemann, with his hands crossed in front of him, looked at all the real-time images displayed on the center console and frowned:

"Looking at the turbid atmosphere of the Shield World, you know that there must be a large number of wild Flood demons on the surface."

As he spoke, Riemann glanced at the Covenant fleet on one side and continued:

"Besides, the Covenant is still providing them with fresh meat. Tsk, maybe the Flood has hatched the original corpse brain beast."

"Father's guess is correct." Vulcan took over the words, then zoomed in on the Covenant fleet on the sunny side, and said in a deep voice:

"Based on the footage captured by the orbiting drone and the information provided by the Intelligence Department, it can be determined that the Covenant fleet gathered at 0459 is composed of four CRS-class light cruisers and one CCS-class battlecruiser.

The CRS-class, with an average length of about 300 meters, is not a concern. The Paris-class and Fidels-class, which have been upgraded by the company, can easily handle it.

However, the CCS-class battlecruiser, which is nearly two kilometers long, is one of the most proud ships of the Covenant, according to the Intelligence Department, and is also their most numerous main battleship. Its maneuverability and firepower are second to none of the UNSC main battleships. three times. "

Vulkan knew that the information about the Covenant ships was compiled and provided by his father, but he also used the name of the Intelligence Department to explain it to everyone present.

"The total number of the opponent's fleet is only five." Seeing this, the major in charge of commanding the ODST expressed his opinion:

"Even with powerful firepower, they can't compete with the company's fleet. As long as the intelligence department gives them just the right points, the fleet can destroy them all in a short time."

"Yes, yes." The captain of the Fenghuo first agreed with the major's idea, and then refuted:

“But don’t forget, the company does not want to expose humans to the Covenant too early, as this will directly trigger a race war between humans and the Covenant.

Secondly, there are races in the Star Alliance whose ideas and values ​​are close to those of us humans. If this operation causes a large number of casualties, it will be very difficult to win them over to the company's side. "

"Hey! If you ask me to just crush him, I'll just obey the order." The ODST major is obviously a hard-line faction.

"The company can deal with the current enemies, but it cannot crush them all." Vulcan glanced at the other party, then looked at Apu, whose pupils were glowing red, and asked:

"If we successfully find the main control room of 0459, can you and Melissa take control of it?"

"As I promised before, yes." Apu seemed to have not adapted to the physical body, and his facial expression was dull:

"Furthermore, according to the forerunner ruins of Harvest Star, Shield World 0459 theoretically has functions such as communication shielding and position restraint. If Melissa and I successfully activate it, it will help the company implement all subsequent steps."

"Yes." Melissa, who had long black hair and light yellow eyes, nodded in agreement:

"During the jump voyage, Apu, Ashford, Dr. Halsey, and the company's elite members and I have deciphered 85% of the ruins of Harvest. We are quite familiar with Forerunner technology."

This intelligent artificial intelligence, who is also a member of the AI ​​Council, was "kidnapped" by Ada, Leon, Chris and others, and was transported to the frontline base of Harvest Star by Ark. He betrayed him almost instantly and immediately wanted to help Art. Rath prepares to dismantle ONI and the UNSC from within.

After hearing the assurances given by the two smart AIs, Vulcan nodded lightly and said:

"Okay, in that case, let me, Riemann, Apu, Melissa, as well as twenty Thunder Warriors and the accompanying ODST and AECS go to the surface of Shield World 0459 to conduct reconnaissance.

During this period, please pay close attention to the movements of the Covenant fleet.

Thirty minutes later, the action officially began. "

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.

"Then let's dissolve."

After that, Vulkan and Riemann left the combat meeting room first.

——

Thirty minutes later.

The air valve gate of the belly engine room of the Beacon was opened.

Then, a Luna transport boat and four transport-type Pelicans, escorted by two Ghost III fighters, turned on the optical camouflage and drove out of the hangar, heading straight for the atmosphere of Shield World 0459.

And in the cabin of the Pelican No. 04;

The soldiers sitting in two rows were all AECS elites wearing heavy mechanical skeletons or, strictly speaking, experimental power armor.

Although traditional hydrogen batteries cannot meet the semi-permanent needs of power armor, and the cost of single-soldier cold fusion is quite expensive, the Research Department "took a different approach" and successfully developed a mass-produced conventional force power armor based on disposable condensed state batteries, namely "MCIP-I type", which is transliterated as "McP" type power armor.

The original intention of developing the MacP power armor was to transform the AECS into an "auxiliary army" type of military.

After all, the "titanium armor" developed by the Research Department for Astartes has nanosuits that even elite soldiers injected with Inquis serum cannot safely control, and Astartes needs "auxiliary troops" that can keep up with their strength.

Therefore, the Research Department made comprehensive improvements based on the original airtight combat uniforms and full-coverage mechanical skeletons, as well as the dangerous environment work clothes of the advance team, and thus developed a "low-end" power armor.

Everyone, I will temporarily stop today. After getting up in the early morning, I took a temperature of more than 39 degrees T-T.

I thought that sleeping in the afternoon and getting up in the early morning would not have any effect on my body, but it still doesn't work. I need to continue the infusion after the clinic opens today, and I can't continue to endure this.

However, it's okay to endure it when I go to school.

Finally, thank you all for your support, thank you for your subscription, recommendation tickets, monthly tickets and rewards~!

Also, from this chapter on, we will enter the confrontation between the Flood and the Covenant, and after the battle of Shield World 0459, a new universe will be opened.

The new universe is also a universe that everyone has heard of, seen, and played (manual dog head)
