Chapter 250: Now that You See a Human, Why Don’t You Bow? Kneel Down!
As for the Angui people in the Star Alliance, this is a rather strange alien race, but they are the main members of the Star Alliance army, accounting for more than half of the total.
The appearance of the Angui people is relatively rough and sloppy. At first glance, they look like a wretched short goblin. In addition, they are not very smart and timid, so they are also called wild boars.
However, these wild boars with an average height of only 1.4 meters, although their combat ability is very poor, they often run away and surrender, but they have a very practical and powerful racial talent.
That is, they are particularly fertile!
The reproductive capacity of wild boars is already on par with that of the Zerg. If a batch dies, they can continue to create a batch, which has good leek attributes.
Therefore, the prophet made full use of them and designated the wild boars as special cannon fodder materials for the Star Alliance.
Usually, when it comes to the battle stage, the human sea tactics are used first, and a large number of wild boars go up to start a group to absorb enemy damage.
When the enemy's ammunition and personnel energy are almost consumed, let the elites, ghost faces, and jackals go up to harvest the group battle.
Therefore, in the Star Alliance camp, the boar beasts can't even be considered as a proper ally, but can only be said to be "slaves" with the qualification to participate in the war.
The Star Alliance made a fortune by digging up the remains of the forerunners, but the boar beasts could not enjoy it at all, and they were just pure tools.
For this reason, the boar beasts chose to bet and joined the elites such as the Sangheili as the boss. They thought that following this civilized race with martial virtues should make them a little better.
And the actual situation is indeed like this. Since following the elite big brother, the boar beasts just follow the elites and rush forward every time they fight.
But once the elites are killed, the boar beasts will immediately surrender or collapse and run away.
For these little brothers who are disappointed with iron and steel, the elites can only pinch their noses to recognize the boar beasts, and warn them not to run away, otherwise they will break their necks.
However, the elites who have always advocated strength and combat honor, although they look down on these useless little brothers, will not bully them wantonly.
However, the ruthless ghost beasts would catch and roast the wild boar beasts when they were short of food or in a bad mood.
As a leader, the Prophet chose to condone this behavior of killing his own people.
After all, in their eyes, the wild boar beasts really have no "human rights" to speak of. It is good enough that they are not exterminated by the Star Alliance. Taking them to fight is a sign of respect for the wild boar beasts.
Speaking of ghost beasts, this group of moral qualities is the same as jackals. In fact, they are ape-like creatures with an average height of 2.8 meters, which looks like gorillas.
Ghost beasts also occupy a considerable proportion in the Star Alliance camp, and their status is second only to the elites!
Although the IQ of ghost beasts is not very high, and they have a manic and irritable nature, they have the talent of recognizing big brothers like wild boar beasts.
For any civilization, recognizing the boss and seeking support is not a shameful thing, because fighting alone is not as good as bullying the few with the many.
The ghost-faced beasts who put all their thoughts on pleasing the leader prophet not only found a job as the security captain for their race, but also had a very high status.
There is even a vague trend of replacing the elites and becoming the main combat force of the Star Alliance!
But as the leaders of the Star Alliance, the prophets like to listen to people flattering, but when it comes to work, they can still see the situation clearly.
The ghost-faced beasts have low IQs and can't control their tempers. To put it bluntly, they are giant babies with easy defense red temperature. Let them be the commander to fight, how can they complete the work well?
So the prophet only arranged the ghost-faced beasts as the second-in-command in the Star Alliance troops, and usually let the elites be the first-in-command in the war.
But the ghost-faced beasts who have a bad temper will not cooperate with the elites in combat at all, but set up a special combat unit on their own. Therefore, there will definitely be no ghost-faced beasts in the combat units with elites.
There is no way, who let the elites block the way for the ghost-faced beasts to progress? The two races still have a feud. If they can avoid tearing their faces and fighting, it is already a face for the leader prophet.
At this time, the CCS-class cruiser of the Star Alliance released thousands of battle teams, and it was still parked steadily in the air, and the gravity elevator continued to open.
The Star Alliance members of various races, like a colorful mosaic, "squirmed" down one by one.
"Ah-!"
"Quack!!"
When they saw the wild beasts in the core of the shield world, the timid wild boars habitually shouted, and their hands and feet began to tremble slightly.
Obviously, the flood demons on the ground brought a deep psychological shadow to these wild boars. They were afraid that the beasts inside the shield world would be as terrifying and deadly as the flood demons outside.
However, with guns in their hands, they were not panicked. Although they were afraid, the wild boars would still use their plasma pistols to easily deal with the alien beasts that posed no real threat to them.
However, the wild boars' careless shooting angered their ghost-faced beast commander.
I was already annoyed when I was fighting with the elites, and now these damn wild boars were actually making trouble without my permission, which was clearly a challenge to my authority!
“Who told you to shoot randomly?!”
The angry roar rang out, and the Jiralhan leader of this combat team immediately picked up a wild boar and bit off its neck in front of all the team members.
Accompanied by a crisp sound of "click", the wild boar beast was killed instantly. Under the horrified eyes of the team members, the ghost-faced beast threw the team member out casually.
Just like throwing away garbage.
After warning the ghost-faced beasts not to shoot without their permission, in order to show their authority, the ghost-faced beast continued to issue orders:
"Now all of you go and patrol the surroundings to make sure there are no traces of the flood demons here. Except for the flood demons, report to me before shooting!"
Faced with the angry rebuke of the superior, the remaining wild boar beasts dared not speak out. Who made their leader a ghost-faced beast? They could only obey the order unconditionally and enter the primeval forest for reconnaissance.
However, just as many wild boar beasts began to spread around, a huge fleet array suddenly appeared above them.
Looking at those unidentified objects that looked like blades but were flying vertically, the wild boar beasts who had just calmed down suddenly ran around uncalmly.
But after being scolded by their respective superiors, these wild boars barely calmed down, trembling and raising their plasma guns, aiming at 10 Sojourner warships that were tens of thousands of meters long.
At the same time, the elites of all parties, the captains of the Jiralhanae, also issued warnings to the central control console of the ships at the headquarters, asking them to prepare to fire to resist the enemy.
And they continued to lead the team to stabilize the formation, holding up their weapons for alert.
After doing all this, the members of the Star Alliance were very nervous. After all, the scale of the knife-shaped warships that came over them was much larger than their fleet.
They were surrounded and I am afraid they could not escape!
Not long after, when the Sojourner warship array completed the encirclement of the Star Alliance fleet, the Astartes warriors led by David Martinez also came to the ground.
When they saw the tall warriors wearing exquisite and bright heavy MarkX power armor, the boar beasts were shocked:
"They must be the warriors of the Forerunners!"
"Greetings to the gods! Please forgive us for our disturbance!"
"..."
After seeing the mighty appearance of the Astartes warriors, all the boar beasts knelt down and began to show their submission and worship to David and others.
In nature, all creatures are "appearance associations" and look at faces.
Colorful, tall, fierce and bold creatures are not easy to mess with at first glance, and as warriors of God, they must not be fragile and short weak chickens.
It happened that this time, in order to better perform the flood cleanup task, David chose a set of heavy armor that was more defensive and looked one size larger than ordinary power armor.
In addition, the outer shell of the power armor was a bright flame red, so it looked particularly domineering and eye-catching.
Therefore, the boar beasts identified David and other Astartes warriors as the "God's Guardians" of the Forerunners.
Seeing a group of wild boars worshipping them, David and Li De were a little confused at first, but they quickly reacted.
The other party regarded them as their gods and mistakenly thought they were the forerunners!
But it was good, it was convenient for them to catch all the members of the Star Alliance here.
"Dr. Halsey really guessed it. The Star Alliance races here regarded us as gods. Now it is much more convenient for us."
David communicated with other Astartes warriors in the team voice.
These warriors have basically read the "script" given by the boss Li Ang, and know the relationship, grievances and hatreds between wild boars, ghost beasts, elites and other Star Alliance races.
After thinking for a while, David decided to negotiate with the elites and ghost beast officers in charge first, so that they would surrender to him and obey his orders.
At this time, David took the initiative to step forward and began to scan the Star Alliance members in front of him with the eye device. When he saw David's eyes, he could faintly emit a faint light.
The jackals below suddenly felt as if they were falling into an ice cave. The fear of being watched by the gods came like a tide. They hurriedly knelt down together and expressed their submission to David.
"Quack!"
"Ah! It's really the gods coming!"
All the jackal soldiers followed suit and knelt down with the wild boar beasts, fearing that their actions were not fast enough and would anger the gods in front of them.
"Roar--!"
However, just when the atmosphere of pious kneeling was just created, an untimely roar disturbed the atmosphere on the scene.
David immediately turned his head and saw a Jiralhan officer who was about the same height as them, with a hoarse voice, making waves of provocative and questioning low roars.
Obviously, it did not believe that the Astartes warrior in front of it was the legendary Forerunner.
After all, the Star Alliance fleet has explored the Forerunner ruins for so many years and dug up so many treasures, but has never seen any surviving Forerunners.
In this regard, the leaders of the Star Alliance, the Prophets, said that the Forerunners had already ascended to a higher dimension of the universe, and were no longer something that ordinary people like them could comprehend.
And if they want to follow the footsteps of the gods, they must make a pilgrimage, find the halo, and learn to "ascend" like the Forerunners!
Although the races of the Star Alliance do not know that the halo and ascension they desire are nothing more than the end of death.
Therefore, when seeing David and other Astartes warriors, the Jiralhanae had every reason to suspect that these seemingly majestic giants were actually the guys who got there first!
They were not the so-called Forerunners.
"Since you see humans, why don't you worship!"
Before the Jiralhanae officer could issue an order for the surrounding quilboars and jackals to stand up and prepare for the confrontation again, David suddenly used the external sound function of his helmet to angrily scold the Jiralhanae:
"Kneel down!"
David doesn't care whether the other party understands or not, as long as he uses his body movements and language correctly, he can lead the other party to do things according to his own ideas based on his emotions.
In short, the momentum must be strong enough.
Sure enough, looking at David who was constantly approaching him and the roar just now, the Jiralhanae was obviously a little confused and scared, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
At this moment, facing David, who was two times bigger than him, the Jiralhanae subconsciously wanted to retreat, but thinking that so many people were staring at it, wouldn't it be too cowardly to retreat now?
At this moment, the elite Sangheili team that rushed to the scene from the Covenant flagship came to the Jiralhanae.
"What happened?"
An elite officer also wearing red power armor said, it was the colonel of the Covenant advance team, one level higher than the Jiralhanae lieutenant.
Officers at this level wear red power armor to highlight their authority and domineering power.
Obviously, in nature, bright red has the highest priority in the color hierarchy, and only high-ranking Covenant officers are worthy of wearing red power armor.
"You idiot, can't you see that these damn heretics are pretending to be our gods and making the wild boars and jackals kneel down!"
Seeing the elite officer coming, the Jiralhanae didn't care about the enemy at hand and cursed at the elite, just as he was angry and had nowhere to vent his anger.
Just take it out on your own people.
Seeing that the mere Jiralhanae lieutenant dared to contradict him, the elite did not tolerate him and pushed him aside with an iron elbow.
"How dare a little lieutenant dare to contradict his superior, and his life is wholesale? How dare you talk to me like that!" the elite school official scolded.
The Jiralhanae lieutenant who was elbowed was immediately furious. Hong Wen even did not hesitate to draw a gun and pointed it at his immediate superior in front of everyone.
Seeing that the internal strife between the two sides was about to break out, David, who was watching the whole show, almost laughed. He did not expect that the internal conflicts in the Star Alliance could actually reach the level of mutiny.
If this was done in the world's giant companies, how many executives of giant companies would have to be shot.
"I don't care what conflicts there are between you. The only thing you should do now is kneel down to me!"
"My time is limited. Those who kneel will be spared. Those who don't will die!"
David didn't have the intention to accompany them to mess around. He reached his hand to his waist and pulled out the chain sword. Then he held the bolter tightly and pointed it at the two people in front of him.
When they saw David, the burly "red giant", the Jiralhanae and the Elite turned their attention to the other side again.
However, because he could not understand what the other party was saying, and David made a gesture of drawing a sword and raising a gun, the situation among the three parties suddenly became tense.
