Chapter 289 "The Legion's Future Treatment" Situation Transition

"Establish an empire.?"

Athena was a little confused. This was the first time she knew this information.

"That's right." Corax agreed:

“Second Lieutenant Athena, please control your words and deeds.

Although the Engineering Department has started the construction of the Imperial Palace in the ruins base of the main universe, as of now, the establishment of the Empire is still a relatively confidential project within Atlas.

If it leaks from your mouth to the outside world, then my brother and I will not mind executing it ourselves. "

"Of course I understand"

Athena was slightly sullen, but she didn't show it too much.

Dare to be angry but dare not speak.

Yes, she is a god, but god is under the roof and has to bow her head.

Olympus had long since fallen, and the rise of mankind, especially those with the Primarchs at their command, made Athena realize that the age of the gods was finally over.

Moreover, even the physical body and divine power (spiritual energy) of the original body are far beyond her level, so how strong will Sui Yang, the father of the original body, be?

Athena knew all about Sui Yang's deeds and had read about Sui Yang's personal battle to annihilate Demon Ido, but she had never witnessed Sui Yang with her own eyes.

After all, she has been on standby in the main universe since she was rescued by Atlas, while Sui Yang is in the 08 (Halo) universe, presiding over the affairs of the Human Elite Alliance.

"Lieutenant Athena."

At this time, Mortarion ordered her again:

"Under your influence, the UNSC Sixth Army Division chose to temporarily cooperate with the company to jointly deal with the raging chaos in Mombasa.

Now, please also ask the second lieutenant to lead your Adjudicator team to continue to contact the Sixth Army Division and try to get the other party to switch sides to the company camp or remain neutral.

If the other party chooses to follow the high-level instructions of the UNSC, then it will directly disintegrate the headquarters of the Sixth Army Division. I think as the goddess of war, you should not need to give too many instructions. "

"learn."

Athena nodded in agreement.

Then, she led a group of Greek minor gods under her command and headed towards the southern suburbs where the main force of the Sixth Army Division was located.

Mortarion ordered Cortana again: "Cortana, can you lock down the current command center of the UNSC?"

"Searching in progress" Cortana's voice came from the communication.

After waiting for a while, the intelligent AI with the strongest computing power replied:

"The command hierarchy of the UNSC Naval Operations Department has been locked and is currently located in the 017 Orbital Space Station on the sunny side, and is escorted by the 3rd Defense Fleet."

"Very good." Mortarion paused for half a second, as if he was quickly sorting out his thoughts, and said:

"Notify the captain of the Warrior's Death to immediately enter the atmosphere and anchor fifty nautical miles east of Mombasa.

Then, while entering the atmosphere, a transport plane was dispatched to pick up me, Corax, and all the Astartes and elite veterans.

As for the Sojourner class and the two Paris class ships, they continued to deal with the UNSC naval fleet, and there was no need to worry about eight human casualties.

Until now, everything has been based on the destruction of the UNSC command hierarchy and the demonstration of the company's absolute strength.

In addition, the company troops and biological weapons on standby in the Eridana system were notified to use the Ark to transmit to the branch base to help the investigators completely control the urban area of ​​Mombasa. "

Having said this, Mortarion's tone darkened:

“Remember, taking control of downtown Mombasa means pacifying and settling the surviving people and making them staunch supporters of the company.

Only with the support of the people can we truly control Mombasa and even the entire Earth 08.

By the way, while you are controlling the Sojourner, please be sure to pay attention to the UNSC's tactical and strategic weapon trends.

If they are pushed into a hurry, they are likely to use nuclear bombs or hydrogen bombs against Mombasa to achieve the purpose of destroying Mombasa. "

"yes."

Cortana still made a brief promise, and she had already started making arrangements when Mortarion gave the order.

Seeing that Mortarion ended the communication, Corax pretended to be surprised and said with emotion:

"Brother, you have made some progress recently. You are not as boring as before."

"Don't make fun of me." Mortarion glanced at Corax, then closed his helmet, looked up at the clear night sky of Mombasa, and said:

"If you stay with Fulgrim and the others for a long time, you have to earn some merit. This is related to the future treatment of your legion and mine.

After the empire is established, my father can pay more attention to me, so as to silence the other brothers and avoid internal strife. "

"The empire is established, haha, I hope that day comes sooner."

Corax pondered and closed his helmet as well.

Low Earth orbit at this time;

Ri~——咻——! !

The cyan light beam matrix shines in the space about four hundred kilometers away from Mombasa.

Boom. Boom! !

The targets hit by the beam matrix were the UNSC defense fleets that exploded one after another.

Among them, more than 70% of the battleships are frigates similar in appearance to Charon and Paris, and the remainder are mostly destroyers whose size and tonnage are between frigates and cruisers.

It's just that the defense fleet, which totaled more than a hundred warships, suffered heavy losses due to "just" four Atlas ships of all levels.

The engines of half of the ships have stalled and are floating in low-Earth orbit. Three destroyers have exploded enough to light up the space after ejecting a large number of escape capsules.

Mainly the "merely" four battleships on Atlas' side, their overall technological level is completely superior to all UNSC ships.

Leaving aside the ten-kilometer-long Sojourner-class, which is considered the ceiling of the physical universe, the two Paris-class ships that have been modified by Atlas and have magnetic field deflection devices and energy shield generators can fight against eight UNSC ships of the same specifications. ships.

What's more, the conventional speed of the improved Paris-class frigate has also been enhanced, which can better assist the Sojourner-class in launching attacks.

The CCS-class battlecruiser Warrior's Sorrow is crushing the UNSC cruisers.

After all, the CCS class is the main ship of the Covenant. It has the most mature technological support, and its speed, defense and firepower are guaranteed.

certainly

The reason why the Paris-class and CCS-class are still strong today is due to the strength of the Sojourner-class.

After the Sojourner class used the beam matrix of its main gun, the UNSC defense fleet was completely defeated and unable to organize an effective counterattack and evasion.

At this stage, humans in "Halo" have never considered defensive beam weapons when building ships.

For example, the armor thickness of the Charon-class frigate is only a "pathetic" 60 centimeters.

The 60 cm thick α-type titanium alloy armor is indeed very effective against conventional weapons, but it is a drop in the bucket when faced with the beam attack of Forerunner technology.

Therefore, Atlas can easily crush a hundred ships with four ships.

Ri~——咻——! !

At this moment, the Sojourner-class released the matrix beam again.

But this time the beam attack did not cause much damage to the UNSC defense fleet. It was more like a "feint", forcing the defense fleet to continue to retreat and distance itself.

In fact, the Sojourner class is providing the Warrior's Sorrow with beam barrages for cover purposes.

When the UNSC defense fleet was afraid of the Sojourner class and had to evacuate far away, the Warrior's Sorrow took advantage of this gap to actively raise its energy shield and accelerate toward the sea in the atmosphere.

Immediately after entering the atmosphere, the Warrior's Sorrow unfolded the engine room on the belly of the ship.

A large number of "U"-shaped and beetle-shaped transport boats passed through the plasma gas valves that shone with a faint purple light and flew towards downtown Mombasa.

－－－

Southern suburbs of Mombasa;

This is a gathering place for lower-income groups. The building facilities and public transportation system are very backward, and it is a slum in the old city.

However, it is precisely because of its location on the edge that it is a relatively quiet and safe zone when strange phenomena arise.

At this moment, the southern suburbs are already flooded with a large number of citizens who have fled from the new city.

The streets and blocks are overcrowded.

Fortunately, soldiers affiliated with the UNSC Sixth Army Division assumed the responsibilities of the Mombasa Police Station, maintaining order on the scene and arranging medical personnel to treat the injured.

At the same time, there are more than a dozen young Astartes who belong to the Flame Lizard.

These "giant" young people, who are only 17 or 8 years old, are also using the auxiliary system of Titanium Type I power armor to provide certain assistance to the citizens.

For example, the pulse scanning function can be used to provide suitable places for citizens with mobility issues or injuries to rest.

Of course, the Flame Lizards, who have a wealth of knowledge, can also treat injuries.

Among them was Yang Yan, who broke into the subway and killed the corrupt special police.

in neighborhood parks;

This two-meter-four giant young man was kneeling on one knee to check the sprained left ankle of an old woman.

The little girl he had rescued earlier was holding a teddy bear, sitting on the side of the slide, and looking at Yang Yan with interest.

"Fortunately, it's not a big problem." After confirming that the old woman only had a common sprain, Yang Yan stood up and warned:

"The crisis in Mombasa has been resolved, so it is best to reduce your movements and rest for five Earth days, and you should be able to recover."

"Okay, it's really too much trouble for you."

The old woman thanked her with a smile on her face.

Moreover, this 70-year-old man did not seem to be afraid of the flaming lizard, which was a bit too scary in height. Instead, he looked kindly and said:

"Thank you for being here, young man, otherwise an old man like me might have been exposed in the wilderness long ago, haha."

"It is the duty of us Blazing Lizards to protect humans. There is no need to thank you." Yang Yan also smiled.

Then, he turned to look at the slide on the side, raised his left hand, extended his index finger, carefully patted the girl's head, and said:

"Remember to listen to mom, don't make trouble, and don't run around."

"I know" the girl nodded sheepishly.

"."

Yang Yan didn't say anything else, he just closed his helmet, held the bolt rifle, and followed the guidance of the abbreviated radar and headed for the nearest rendezvous point.

Looking at Yang Yan's back, the girl hesitated to speak.

You may want to ask the flaming lizard some questions, or you may simply not want the flaming lizard to leave.

Because it was Yang Yan's escort that allowed her, her mother, and other citizens to cross the subway and reach the southern suburbs safely.

And when Yang Yan was preparing to return to Mombasa, Mortarion and Corax had already joined forces to eliminate the Great Demon of Tzeentch and directly resolved the Chaos Incident.

So Yang Yan and a dozen of his brothers stayed in the southern suburbs for the time being.

During this period, soldiers from the UNSC Sixth Army Division also rushed to the scene, but the other party did not have any conflict with them.

After all, a small number of soldiers are locals in Mombasa, and there are many family members and friends among the citizens, so the soldiers of the Sixth Army Division have a certain gratitude towards the Flame Lizards.

However, the soldiers also have "self-knowledge".

Although the Flame Lizards seem to be good guys and are almost never irritable or angry, once the swords are pointed at each other, the soldiers can't resist effectively at all.

Even if there is an armored battalion on the scene and the assistance of the Scorpio main battle tank, more than a dozen Flame Lizards including Yang Yan are enough to complete the "no-injury sweep".

Therefore, the UNSC Sixth Army Division, which received the order from the superior, still maintained harmony with the Flame Lizards.

When Athena and the Greek sub-gods rushed to the southern suburbs, the Sixth Army Division "let it go" and chose to openly violate the orders of the command level.

Fear of Athena's deterrence is one aspect, and another point is that the grassroots soldiers of the Sixth Army Division witnessed the whole process of the Mombasa incident, so they could not make a "stab in the back" move.

On the other hand, Yang Yan and more than a dozen Flame Lizards met in an open space near the coastline.

Soon, a beetle-shaped transport boat built by the Star Alliance, but painted black, appeared in the visual field of Yang Yan and others.

Then, the elite pilot controlled the transport boat and gently landed in the center of the open space.

After Yang Yan and others entered the cabin, the elite pilot controlled the transport boat to take off and headed for the Warrior's Sorrow, which was dozens of kilometers away.

At the same time, the transport boats carrying Mortarion, Corax, young Astartes and elite veterans also left Mombasa.

They formed a transport formation in the air and were escorted by the Banshee fighter jets, which were also piloted by elites.

Not long after.

The transport formation returned to the hangar of the Warrior's Sorrow.

At this moment, in the bridge;

"Captain!" A silver-armored elite who served as a communications officer reported loudly to the captain of the gold-armored ship sitting in the main seat:

"All combat units have returned to the hangar."

Hearing this, the helmsman also reported in time: "Captain, the target has been locked, and the jump can be started directly."

"Ah" Hearing the words of the communications officer and the helmsman, the captain of the gold-armored ship moved his four-petal mouth, and then waved his hand:

"Jump immediately!"

"Yes!"

While the helmsman responded loudly, he was also using the control panel in front of him to prepare for the jump.

The next second, the holographic screen showed a dark purple jump vortex, which unfolded in the atmosphere.

And when the Warrior's Death entered the jump space, and the jump vortex closed at the moment, it released a strong pulse in the atmosphere.

But the high altitude where the Warrior's Death was located would not have any impact on Mombasa, which was dozens of kilometers away.

As for the jump target,

it was the 017 orbital space station on the sunny side of the earth in "Halo".

It was precisely because the Warrior's Sorrow carried out a jump voyage within the atmosphere that the UNSC's 3rd Defense Fleet was unable to adjust its angle for a while, and had to "watch helplessly" as the 017 Orbital Space Station was about to be forcibly boarded by a large number of transport boats.
