Just two days had passed, and in the afternoon of September 12, 2552, the Reach Star, which had been peaceful for nearly half a month, finally experienced new changes...
The UNSC survivors who fought a great battle in Area 04 and successfully destroyed the Halo and some of the evil plans of the Covenant and some monsters, including Master Chief John 117 of Spartan II, Noble Team Three members: Carter, George and Emil, a certain intelligent AI Cortana, Sergeant Avery Johnson, an ODST lieutenant colonel officer, a few hell paratroopers, and a lucky Pelican transport pilot They finally successfully returned to the Reach Star again.
Then, of course, after detecting a wave of space fault transition reactions and seeing a Covenant warship dare to risk its life and land on Reach, some UNSC marines and geth robot troops on Reach quietly They surrounded the landing point of the Covenant warships, and then waited for the enemies to come out and jumped out to prepare to capture the enemy ships in order to obtain useful intelligence, such as the important navigation databases of the Covenant, etc.?
But no idea...
Before they could suddenly rush out from their ambush and launch an attack, rushing forward to eliminate those enemies who were brave enough to come to Reach and kill them, they were shocked to see through the telescope: What came out of the open hatch of the Covenant warship was actually a group of UNSC's own human soldiers?
Among them, there seem to be several familiar figures wearing the exclusive Mjolnir-powered assault armor that only Spartan warriors have?
Therefore, Noble No. 2, No. 3, No. 6, who also participated in the ambush operation, and a little girl who was extremely bored due to idleness and insisted on coming to have a look walked out from their ambush point. , and drove two Warthog reconnaissance vehicles towards the landing point of the Covenant warship...
"That is……"
"Great! It's that little guy and the other three members of Team Noble. I didn't expect that they are all still alive..."
"..."
"Nice to meet you, everyone! But now I want to know one thing. Who can tell me: What is the current situation on Reach?"
I saw someone driving a Warthog reconnaissance vehicle rushing over at high speed. Above me, I saw what seemed to be four Spartan warriors who were also wearing Mjolnir-powered assault armor and a small figure in a red armor that I was very familiar with. After that, Master Chief John-117 felt relieved and hurried forward before they could jump out of the car and asked eagerly.
'Well…...'
'That's the problem...'
'Ah! '
"???"
=???????(??????*)
Obviously, when I saw the Spartan II soldier with 117 on his chest and a master sergeant who could tell by his military rank, he suddenly asked this question. The members of the Noble team, whether it was Major Catherine No. 2 or No. 3 Jun, or No. 6, or even a certain little Annie who was just about to jump out of the Warthog reconnaissance vehicle were stunned for a moment.
'! ! '
'Thanks! '
Noble 6 staggered at the same time, almost missing his foot and falling to the ground! Fortunately, Jun on the side reached out and gave him a hand in time, so that he did not make a big fool of himself.
"??"
"I see……"
"It must be dangerous here. Those bastards from the Covenant Alliance must be nearby, am I right?"
Click!
Seeing the other party's reaction, the Master Chief, who thought it was unsafe here, took out the weapon from his back, loaded it with a 'click', gasped and said viciously.
When they arrived, John-117, the Master Chief, and the others were not able to see the huge fleet of more than a thousand Reapers in the orbit of Reach, because the Federation of Heroes and the UNSC formally formed an alliance two days ago. After that, they have now gone to another orbit outside Tianyuan 4 to merge with the more than 200 UNSC fleets that have migrated to Tianyuan 4 and negotiate the creation of a joint fleet. Therefore, at this time There is not a single battleship in the orbit of Reach.
Although this seems to be a bit of a safety hazard, in fact, there is no need for them to stay here anymore, because the geth legions on the ground and the large number of 'destroyers' alone are enough to guarantee the safety of Reach. It's safe.
Let’s not talk about the geth warships that have landed on the ground to serve as military camps. Just those terrifying destroyers that can destroy cruisers in orbit by directly attacking on the ground in the atmosphere. Those large destroyers that are only 160 meters high. A spider-like guy will definitely stop most of the Covenant warships from approaching the planet Reach!
"snort!"
"We had already conducted reconnaissance in orbit when we just landed. People from the Covenant actually dropped a large number of robot troops here on Reach, and they also cruelly imprisoned the people of Reach into various 'refugee camps.' And in the 'concentration camp', we must give them some good looks!!"
However, it is precisely because there are no battleships in the orbit of Reach that this gives the Master Chief and his team the illusion that the 'enemy' defense here is empty, and they feel that with these people and the captured Covenant battleship, they can It must be possible to deal a heavy blow to the enemies on the ground and rescue many refugees and UNSC soldiers who were imprisoned in concentration camps by the Covenant robots before the enemies could react?
Because, they not only have a Covenant battleship, but also the most elite team of warriors, and Cortana, who is said to be very good at dealing with machinery and artificial creations! Therefore, this is the main reason why they dare to land directly on the ground of Reach.
"..."
(??▽??)
Seeing the performance of Master Chief John, Anne grinned, then climbed back onto the frame of the Warthog reconnaissance vehicle, and sat on it minding her own business.
'...'
'...'
Hearing the other party, hearing the sergeant chief saying this, Noble No. 6 and Noble No. 3 didn't know what to say, so they first turned to a certain person who looked equally embarrassed and didn't know what to say. After the head of the little girl glanced at him and realized that the other party was not going to explain, they all had no choice but to look at No. 2, who had just nodded and said hello to Captain Carter.
Because they felt that it might be more appropriate for the major officer No. 2 Catherine to explain that issue?
"Captain! And this Master Chief!"
"In fact, whether you believe it or not, the battle on Reach had already ended on the 30th or early morning of the 31st at the end of last month."
"..."
"We UNSC lost, and we lost miserably..."
Major Catherine paused and began to recall the tragic things that she least wanted to recall.
"This battle..."
"Our Eridanus fleet, with more than 150 warships, has been nearly wiped out. Only a few of them can escape as successfully as the Pillar of Autumn... So far, the number of soldiers and civilians killed and missing in action can only be counted. It exceeds 700 million, and the number of surviving soldiers and civilians on Reach is only about 300 million."
"What's worse is that all our large and small cities on the surface of the planet have been destroyed, and other hidden military and civilian facilities have also been almost completely lost..."
At this point, even if many days have passed, even if the victory was finally won, the heroic and pretty face of Major Catherine Noble 2, who took off his helmet and had ferocious scars all over his face, could not help but feel a trace of emotion. A hint of sadness.
After all, the price paid by the UNSC humans in the Battle of Reach was really too heavy! Although this was not the worst time during the twenty-seven years of war with the Star Alliance, it was the most memorable one for her!
"But luckily!"
"We won in the end..."
"We won the final victory in the Battle of Reach. I destroyed all the enemy's warships in space, annihilated their troops on the ground, and shattered the enemy's ambition to invade and eliminate us. Our victory was hard-won!"
"And now, our combined fleet is about to launch a comprehensive counterattack against the Covenant Alliance. They will definitely pay the due price for their evil deeds of trying to destroy us!!"
As she spoke, Noble No. 2 Catherine's expression became a bit ferocious, clenching her fists, breathing heavily, and almost said everything she knew with a gritted teeth expression and a determined tone.
Now the situation is getting better and better. Lieutenant Colonel Carter, the leader of their Noble team, is also back. Soon, with all members in good condition, they will be transferred to the combined fleet and participate in the battle. In the first phase of the Covenant's counter-offensive, they will recover the colonies occupied and destroyed by the Covenant, and recover those long-lost homes...
For example, the beginning of all humiliation, the Harvest Star that the UNSC soldiers have always dreamed of and wanted to fight back?
"??"
"Wait! Wait first!"
However, before Catherine No. 2 could continue speaking, she was interrupted by everyone who was listening, especially the Master Chief John-117, who spoke up and interrupted.
"Sorry, Major!"
"I don't quite understand..."
"Didn't you just say that the Battle of Reach ended at the end of last month, and that our UNSC side still lost miserably, with even the Eridanus fleet nearly wiped out, and only a few of them escaped? "
"But why did you just say that we won in the end?"
"I really don't understand how we won the final victory in the Battle of Reach? How did you destroy all the enemy's warships in space and annihilate their troops on the ground, crushing the enemy's invasion and annihilating us? Ambitious?!"
In this regard, the Master Chief said that he did not understand at all, including Cortana who was equipped in his Mjolnir Powered Assault Armor, and she could not analyze why the UNSC won at all!
Because, before she loaded the Pillar of Autumn and 'randomly' selected coordinate jumps to escape from Reach, there were still at least two to three hundred enemy ships remaining above the orbit of Reach! And there were even more Covenant troops on the ground... Under that terrible situation, when all the orbital defense platforms were destroyed, and when all the remaining single-digit warships had implemented the 'Cole Protocol' and escaped. , Reach is doomed to be destroyed. Even if all the remaining UNSC warships are brought here, there will probably be no chance of a comeback!
After all, the strength comparison between humans and the Covenant is still very different. Under normal circumstances, the UNSC fleet can only defeat the enemy with a 3:1 numerical advantage.
But the result...
Now this Spartan-III, this Major Noble 2, this female officer keep saying that the UNSC won the final victory in the Battle of Reach? How dare he, John 117, believe this kind of thing?
"..."
"I don't understand a bit too!"
"Kate, can you tell us now?!"
At this time, like Master Chief John-117, Noble team leader Lieutenant Colonel Carter also had no idea what was going on, because he always felt that the words of Catherine No. 2 were somewhat inconsistent and lacked necessary logic?
And if it weren't for the fact that No. 3 and No. 6 and the little girl Anne next to him seemed to be normal, he would have almost suspected that the other party was insane, and then they would just talk nonsense like daydreams. Especially after they had seen some damn parasites on the halo in Area 04!
"certainly!"
"Although I also know that this sounds a bit unbelievable, but this is actually what happened..."
He turned around and glanced at a little girl sitting on the edge of the Warthog search vehicle with her legs dangling, and found that the girl was sitting there bored, not knowing what she was thinking about, and she didn't seem to have any intention. After coming over to say something, Catherine slowly recounted the situation at Reach, including what she had not experienced personally, but later heard from No. 6's mouth.
'...'
'my God! Did we really win? '
'Seems to be? '
'It's really incredible, like a dream, even more unreal than the monsters in Special Zone 04! '
'...'
'Ouch! You want to die, why are you pinching my mother for no reason? ! '
'Does it hurt? '
'Wait a minute, I'll give you a shot. Do you think it hurts?' '
'Then we are not dreaming...'
'you! ! '
'Ah! Very good! The air in Reach is so good, I really can’t bear to part with it! It’s good if you win, it’s good if you win! '
'Hahaha! '
'team leader! we won? '
'Um! '
'We may really win this time...'
After Major Catherine No. 2 finished speaking slowly and explained why the battleships were not in the orbit of Reach and why there were so many geth robots on the ground, Lieutenant Colonel Carter, George and Emil, a certain lucky Yes, Sergeant Avery Johnson, the ODST lieutenant colonel, several hell paratroopers, and another lucky female Pelican transport pilot who were finally found in the wreckage area by the Master Chief piloted a Longsword fighter. Finally, in a trance, he cheered loudly in disbelief.
This is the first time the UNSC has won a victory against the Covenant, and it is hard-won! Because in the past, any planet discovered by the Covenant would inevitably end up being slaughtered and vitrified by plasma bombings from battleships after it fell!
Therefore, while the few ODST soldiers who had survived the disaster were cheering, one of them simply slumped down on the ground of Reach, as if he didn't dare to believe it at all, just holding the ground in a daze. And looked up at the sky with light wind and light clouds, a blue sky.
"So that's how it is. It turns out that the Battle of Reach has ended long ago..."
"That's great!"
No more worrying about the war situation on Reach...
After a while of silence, and using the Cortana he carried, he obtained a lot of information and images from the stupid AI 'Auntie Idea' carried in the Noble team's armor, and knew that the other party was not talking nonsense, and that they, the UNSC, were indeed It was only after he won the final victory with the help of some outsiders, especially the little girl's fleet, that he slowly put down the loaded weapons in his hands.
"But everyone!"
"Can you tell us where the headquarters of the combined fleet is? Although we won the battle here on Reach, although we may have received the support of a powerful fleet, please believe me, the war is not over yet. There are even more terrifying things and monsters. Still waiting for us!”
"Now, our enemies are not just the Covenant, there are other more terrifying things!!"
Unlike everyone's cheers and rejoicing, Master Chief John quickly thought of other things after learning about the battle situation on Reach.
For example: the 'halo', which is also called the Halo ring, is called the 'sacred ring' by the Covenant, and is called the 'special zone' by the forerunners and guides. The kind that imprisons terrible, even The Forerunners are also responsible for the monster they destroyed, the Flood, and the giant ring-shaped super weapon with a maximum destruction radius of 25,000 light-years that can exterminate higher-order life species with specific complex neurological characteristics throughout the galaxy, including humans. !
Especially after learning that the Covenant also knew the purpose of the 'Halo' and the correct way to activate it, the Master Chief knew the urgency of this matter! The UNSC must move faster, otherwise, if it is too late, the UNSC and humans will really be in trouble, and it may be even worse than being attacked by the Covenant. ?
"At the castle base!"
"What's the matter? Is it really that urgent?!"
Noble 2 was a little puzzled because she didn't feel that after defeating several fleets of the Covenant and regaining Reach, there was anything else that could make them feel urgent.
"It's really urgent!"
At this time, the captain of the Noble team, Lieutenant Colonel Carter, who had returned from the bloody battle in Area 04 with the Master Chief and others, also came over and added with a solemn face.
"Can you tell me about it?"
Catherine No. 2 was obviously very curious about this, so after looking at the two of them for a while, she asked directly.
"You will know later..."
"However, Major, it's time for you to find us a UNSC spaceship. We can't just drive over to the Covenant's light battleship, right?"
The Master Chief just shook his head, not intending to explain that kind of thing to the under-ranked female major in front of him at this time, because what he was looking for was a heavyweight general in the UNSC! Preferably, the headquarters of the combined fleet that the other party just mentioned?
"..."
"Okay then! Shall I find you two transport planes now? Maybe you can give us a good talk on the way..."
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't say it. We can just share Captain Carter's battle video?"
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to say more, Catherine didn't insist too much.
She just looked at a little girl behind her and found that she was still in a daze, as if she had no interest in fighting the Star Alliance. She waved her hand, gave an order, and then asked the sergeant to Something happened that left everyone stunned:
In the distance on the horizon, and behind the hidden spots around their landing point, there were actually dense armies of robots and strange aircraft flying all over the sky?
Then soon, without knowing what message Major Catherine conveyed, the Master Chief and others saw that in addition to several unique transport planes flying directly towards them, the robots that seemed to be preparing to ambush them Slowly turned around and left, only a few came towards this side, seemed to be planning to take over the Covenant light battleship that had been captured by them a long time ago?
——————————
September 13th…
Castle base, in this intact fortress currently used as the headquarters of the combined fleet, a delegation from the Federation of Heroes of the Koprulu Sector, senior officers of humans and protoss are working with UNSC generals with different numbers. The star officers listened to Master Chief John-117's report about Area 04 and the most detailed information about Halo, Forerunner, Herald and Flood obtained by a certain intelligent AI 'Cortana' from the database of Area 04. First-hand heavyweight information.
"Oh..."
??????(????0`??)??????
A little girl who was sitting in the main seat might be sleepy, or maybe she felt that what a certain sergeant commander said was meaningless at all, so she owed a big yawn.
"What do you think others are doing and continuing to hold your meeting? Really, you lazy guys who know how to hold meetings don't even pay attention during meetings!!"
s (????ˇεˇ????)ゞ
After that, the senior generals of the UNSC and the generals of the Federation of Heroes, who Anne herself said she didn't know any of and were definitely not important officials, all paid attention to her and saluted her. , and scolded them angrily and loudly.
'...'
'...'
The UNSC officials did not dare to offend the little girl head of state, so they hurriedly turned their heads away, pretended to be careful, and continued to look at a certain Sergeant John who was making a report. They tried to pretend to listen attentively... However, their attention was not too focused, because they had actually read the report more than once last night that the Master Chief was explaining and reading.
'...'
'...'
Although the officer representatives from the Federation of Heroes were not surprised at all, they slowly turned their heads away with a little embarrassment.
Although it was the first time they had come into contact with their legendary omnipotent great head of state in person for the first time, and although they also knew a lot about some of the other party's temperament, they obviously didn't have much psychology towards this situation. prepare.
'...'
'Gentlemen! '
'The above is everything we encountered while fighting in Special Zone 04. I have finished reading my report! '
After Master Chief John finished his report, he summed it up loudly and bowed, then silently stepped aside and stood still.
He actually doesn't know much, he just knows some of the most basic and easy-to-understand things. As for more information, I'm afraid he can only ask Cortana.
He believed that it would not be too difficult for Cortana, who had entered the Special Zone 04 Ring Control Center and loaded it in, to obtain more information. Presumably, 'she' should have loaded it in a long time ago. Did you get countless information about the 'Halo' in an instant?
'...'
'Cortana, you can now tell us in detail about the origins of the Forerunners, the Flood, and the Halo. We want to know more specifically! '
'You can start now! '
Finally, after seeing the Master Chief's routine report, a UNSC general couldn't wait to sit up straight and look at the intelligent AI Cortana who was 3D developing in the middle of the long metal table around them. ', ordered to the AI that looked like a delicate and beautiful woman.
'...'
'Dear Head of State Anne, Your Excellencies of the Federation of Heroes, and Generals of the UNSC, in fact, all these things have to start from 101,000 BC...'
'The information about the Forerunners, Halo and Flood that I obtained from Special Zone 04 is very complicated and involves many aspects. It may take several days to finish it? However, I will explain it to you in as much detail as possible within the next half hour...'
"!!"
!? (??''????)??
"How long does it take to take half an hour?!"
????(?????????????)???????
After hearing what the 'intelligent' female AI said, Annie finally couldn't help shouting.
"Well……"
(*￣△￣*)
"Okay! You continue..."
??????(＿＿*)????
Seeing those pairs of eyes staring at her again, Anne had no choice but to lie directly on the table in frustration, muttering without raising her head, and weakly waving her hand to someone. The 'intelligent' AI can continue. You really don't have to worry about her. Anyway, no matter how nice the other person's words are or how eloquent they are, she won't listen.
Moreover, if she had known that this lousy meeting would be held for such a long time, she should not have come just now...
(…)
(●￣(??)￣●)
'OK. '
'Dear Sirs, according to the information I have obtained: In order to prepare for the worst case scenario when the Zerg, also known as the Flood, invade the galaxy again and the battle is unfavorable, the leader of the Forerunners, the Master Builder Faber, came to A.D. The construction of the Ring Array was ordered in 101,000 BC. '
'He built twelve large rings with a diameter of about 30,000 kilometers in a large ark, which were used as the ultimate means of victory against the Zerg! At the same time, the missionary's wife, the head of the think tank, also built six small rings with a diameter of 10,000 kilometers at the small ark as auxiliary and backup options... two arks and a large number of shield worlds to protect samples of species in the galaxy Save yourself from extinction when the ring launches. "
"The work of collecting and indexing the species in the Milky Way and sending them to the Ark is left to the managers, the workers who lead life! However, the amount of work required to collect and index the species in the entire Milky Way is huge, and if you want to do it thoroughly It will take a lot of time to complete...'
'However……'
Just like that, after a certain little girl stopped causing trouble and the top generals of the UNSC and the Federation of Heroes began to listen attentively, the 'intelligent' AI Cortana began to quote from classics and speak eloquently:
100,300 BC…
The cruel Flood, the 'enemies of life' created by the pioneers who were driven out of the galaxy by the Forerunners, reappeared in the galaxy and began a brutal war with the Forerunners that lasted for more than three hundred years!
During the three hundred years of war, even though they were prepared, the Forerunners tried almost every method, but they were still unable to repel the Flood, and were still at a disadvantage during the battle.
At the same time, the Flood gradually mastered the advanced technology of the Forerunners, and both their individual combat effectiveness and overall strength were expanding at a rapid rate, making the Forerunners' situation even more critical.
In 100,043 BC, the Forerunner Grand Architect authorized the military artificial intelligence 'Monk of Prejudice' to test launch the No. 07 Great Ring near a certain planet, successfully attacking and penetrating all the Forerunner buildings on the planet, and releasing The ancient Gravemind stored here by the Pioneers. Subsequently, the 'Monk of Prejudice' took it to the No. 07 Ring for study, and disappeared together with the No. 07 Ring for a full 43 years.
In the meantime, no one knows what happened...
As the war progressed, the situation became more and more unfavorable for the Forerunners, so the Forerunners transferred the other 11 large rings back to the Forerunner capital area of the galaxy. At this time, the 'Monk of Prejudice' was also in 100,000 BC. Nian suddenly came back with Ring No. 07. After controlling many of the guide AIs present, it launched a surprise attack on the Forerunners and directly rebelled against the Forerunners.
Soon, the Monk of Prejudice used his authority to successfully control five large rings, and also claimed to cooperate with the Zerg to eliminate the Forerunners in order to allow species in the galaxy to continue to evolve?
Under attack from both sides, the anxious forerunners had no choice but to urgently transport the remaining rings from the portal in the capital area into the ark... However, due to the critical situation, the portal was overloaded and collapsed, and only one of the portals collapsed. Arrived successfully before.
However, even if only one arrived safely, the defense system of the capital area of the Forerunners finally came into play and successfully destroyed one of the large rings controlled by the Prejudicial Monk, leaving the Prejudicial Monk in an extremely disadvantageous situation. They had to retreat with the No. 07 large ring belt, and the whereabouts of the remaining large ring belts are unknown.
Immediately afterwards, for his own reasons, the Forerunner Missionary transferred his will into the Forerunner 'Nova' and regained control of the Forerunner Legion and all creation. Subsequently, he tracked down the Monk of Prejudice and the Ancient Corpse Brain Beast The No. 07 ring where he was located, and used the control code to expel the prejudiced monk, reduced the severely damaged and unstable No. 07 large ring into a small ring, and then teleported it to the Great Ark. And after clarifying the relationship between the pioneers, forerunners, ancient humans, and Zerg, he used decay technology to span tens of billions of years in the space-time environment around the primordial base in a short period of time, ultimately making the seemingly indestructible ancient corpse-brain beast lose its entropy value. Die directly in the collapse...
But later, when the time came, the expelled artificial intelligence "Monk of Prejudice" actually led the extremely expanded Zerg army, controlled an army composed of millions of powerful battleships, and swept across with unstoppable and unmatched strength. The Forerunners territory and attacked the Ark. Their power at this time almost overwhelmed everything and wiped out most of the Forerunners' armed forces in a very short period of time!
In the end, the leader of the Forerunner race, the Great Architect, had to sacrifice himself and the Great Ark, placing his last hope on the Small Ark and the remaining ring array headed by the Think Tank Chief.
Soon, with the capture of the 'Monk of Prejudice' and the activation of the Ring Array, all creatures in the galaxy that were not protected by the Ark and the Shield World were killed, and then the Forerunners were saved by the Key Battleship on the Ark. The indexed species are sent back to their respective galaxies.
At this point, the war between the Forerunners and the Zerg ended with both sides losing...
'The above is the information I obtained from Special Zone 04! '
'I have classified more detailed information and created a memorandum. Commanders can index it themselves if necessary. '
After saying that, the intelligent AI Cortana stopped talking.
'...'
'...'
'...'
However, upon hearing this, the human generals of the UNSC all turned pale and no longer dared to speak!
Because, if AI Cortana is right, then the current situation of their UNSC is indeed terrible... At this moment, they not only have to face the Star Alliance, but also those who have most likely spread Yes, even the powerful Forerunners could only perish together with the terrifying Flood in the end! They don't believe that they can eliminate those kind of things just by detonating the halo of Zone 04!
Of course, what is even more terrifying is the unreasonable one that once activated can wipe out all advanced intelligent creatures within 25,000 light-years, and even all creatures that are not protected by the ark and the shield world. Weapons of mass destruction! !
'Zerg...'
'Flood? Parasitism and rapid proliferation? '
However, after a human general and a high-level protoss executive officer at the Hero Federation table looked at each other, they quickly nodded in understanding.
'Everyone! '
'Please believe us, the Zerg are actually not scary, because we have enough to deal with the Zerg's Reaper fleet and a large number of Geth soldiers. They are not living beings and are not afraid of the parasitism and control of the Flood creatures! '
'Furthermore, you may not believe it, but among the three tribes in the Koprulu Star District, there are also powerful Zerg tribes... Having fought against them, we dare to assure you that if necessary, our Zerg tribe will Swarms will also appear in this universe, and they will definitely not lose to the Flood or Zerg that Cortana just mentioned in the information? '
'So, we are actually more worried about it now! ! '
At this time, the star spirit executive directly spoke in the minds of everyone present in the form of mental fluctuations, and stretched out his hand to project an exquisite 'halo' holographic rotating model directly on the long conference table.
'Look! '
'The 'small halo' with a destruction radius of 25,000 light-years mentioned in the data, this extremely powerful extermination weapon, this weapon that can destroy all advanced creatures and curb the spread of Zerg or Flood, our planet In fact, Ling can probably analyze their manufacturing principles, and even manufacturing is not too difficult? '
'However, we will never easily produce weapons of mass destruction that are devoid of morality and honor. After all, the Ark and Shield World also have limitations...'
'So, what we have to worry about now is finding them in time and ensuring that they don't fall into the hands of the Covenant! At the same time, it may be necessary to eliminate and contain the spread of those flood demons as much as possible! '
'Perhaps we should go to Special Zone 04 again now? '
While being on guard, the protoss were not too worried about the halos and flood demons, because the protection of the protoss mothership was not something that those life-targeting halo weapons could penetrate!
Of course, we can’t draw a conclusion yet as to whether it is yes or no. Everything will have to wait until after research.
'...'
I definitely have to go back to the '04 Special Zone, and we believe that people from the Star Alliance will not give up on that place easily! '
'Yes! '
'However, to deal with the Star Alliance and the Flood at the same time, and to search for those special zones, that is, the location of the Halo, is probably beyond our capabilities? '
'That's right! '
'What do you think? '
'feasible. '
'Our current combined fleet only has more than a thousand warships in total. How can we carry out so many combat missions at the same time? '
After discussing for a while, the senior officers of the UNSC quickly raised the question to the officers of the Federation of Heroes. As for the little girl head of state, they knew enough not to disturb her, because she was lying on the main seat of the long table and was already making bursts of breathing sounds as she was sleeping (＿＿*)ZzzＺ
Annie didn't actually want to sleep. She was just lying on the table and thinking about things in boredom at first... However, as she thought about it, she didn't know what was going on. Maybe the voice of a certain smart AI was too hypnotic? Maybe, the words of some bad old men just couldn't attract her attention?
Then, accidentally, she seemed to get confused...
(…)
ε=(????｀●)))Alas
'That's not a problem. '
'We can teleport in as many warships as possible to ensure that we can perform those missions at the same time. '
'That's right! '
'In view of the danger of the halo, it is recommended that in addition to a small number of protoss motherships within single digits to analyze and study the halo, the rest should try to use the reaper fleet and the geth army! '
'Seconded! '
The meeting continued. Except for a little girl who was sleeping soundly and the Master Chief who couldn't get a word in at all, the senior executives began to discuss loudly.
'The galaxy is so big, besides searching for information from the Forerunner ruins, do we have any other way? '
'...'
'What can you do? '
'certainly! '
'It shouldn't be too difficult to find those rings scattered somewhere in the universe... After all, we have a lot of information now, and the attack radius of the rings is 250 million light-years. There is also a known location of Special Zone 04. It shouldn’t be difficult to guess the approximate locations of other halos? '
'But, the premise is that they have not moved in these more than 100,000 years? '
'...'
'Perhaps we should continue working with those ruins, or let Cortana sort out more information? '
'feasible! '
'However, we must also monitor the Covenant's actions at the same time. They should know more than we, the UNSC...'
'Just let the General Staff draw up a detailed plan for this kind of thing...'
'Let's talk about the fleet problem! I'm afraid we need more fleets now, and we must send more battleships! '
'feasible! '

Soon, the UNSC and the bureaucrats of the Federation of Heroes roughly agreed on a framework, and while a little girl was in a daze, the meeting quickly came up with the final charter, which was:
From now on, the Federation of Heroes will continue to transmit several protoss motherships, plus at least 10,000 reaper warships and more geth fleets to the Tianyuan four star field in order to conduct a full-scale war with the Covenant Alliance and search. Halos, Forerunner relics and the fight against the Flood that may have existed and emerged!
At the same time, several task forces composed of the UNSC, the three federal tribes, and the Reaper and Geth fleets will be separated to investigate and search for more information about the Ring and the Forerunners, Heralds, and the Flood, and try to control them. Or destroy the Forerunner 'halo' creations that may cause great harm to the galaxy! Of course, there is also the ark that I don’t know where it will be yet!
After all, once the halo is discovered and activated by those reckless Covenant Alliance, all their life forms except the geth and the reapers will be unlucky by then!
'Ahem! '
'Führer Anne, what do you think? '
In the end, about an hour later, now that it will be completed, then, for granted, the people attending the meeting began to ask the opinions of a small head of heads that did not participate in the whole process.
"What? Can I eat?"

Hearing that someone seemed to call himself, Xiao Annie had a spirit of excitement, and quickly stretched his body from the lying desktop and looked at him blankly.

The officers were silent, and they were so big and small, and no one spoke.
"Anyway, just look at what you just said, I don't play with you anymore, goodbye ~ !!"
o(｀^??)oHmph!
Although I don't know what the results these guys have talked about, Annie knows that every time, once these guys are summoned, there is basically nothing to do! So, it is better to walk early and save it here?
"correct!"
"You said to the NOBLE team, and said that I was going to other worlds, so that their celebration party didn't need to wait for me!"
