After descending a steep slope and making a large circle, the infantry tank's speed could not be increased again, so the four-person team could only accelerate to the location as quickly as possible.
There are also a large number of Geth soldiers blocking the road here. Fortunately, it is not too difficult to break through the blockade.
However, Saren has already rushed into the ring area of the Citadel space and started to cause trouble in the palace. Ada also released a large number of drones to intercept Saren's Geth soldiers.
Of course, this counterattack force is of little use to Saren's army, but its greatest use is just to buy time for the people in the ring area to evacuate.
You know, the biggest battlefield is still the multi-racial joint fleet outside the Citadel space station. They have to shoulder the task of fighting against the overlord and their geth vassal fleet.
It's just a pity that the battle was a disastrous defeat - most of the ships in the combined fleet, except the Destiny Extraordinary, were beaten to pieces in one blow!
The defeat on the frontal battlefield meant that the entire Citadel space had no time to pay attention to it, so as expected, Saren finally took control of the entire Citadel space defense.
At this moment, two Geth soldiers guarding the gate suddenly saw the light of the Holy Route relay that had just been silent bloom——
"Pass!" An infantry fighting vehicle suddenly sped out from the light of the repeater, knocked away the Geth soldiers who came to check, and then stopped with a handsome drift.
Then the infantry fighting vehicle that stopped did not let the passengers inside get off. Instead, it turned the muzzle and shot down all the Geth soldiers who were coming. Finally, it was freed from being hung on the Dragon Tooth Puppet and had been transformed into a corpse puppet state. The unlucky guy.
At this time, Shepard climbed out of the infantry tank.
Looking up, everything has turned red. This is the fate of the members of the Citadel Council who underestimated the great enemy of the Reapers.
But it was too late for everyone to sigh. Since Xie Yuan has cleared all the enemies on this floor, let's go directly to the Citadel Tower without delay.
However, when they took the elevator to the giant tower, the frontal battlefield outside was still not optimistic-the Jinfan (Avenger II) carrying countless dignitaries was cruising near the Citadel Space Station.
First Officer Ada is faithfully delivering real-time battlefield intelligence to Xie Yuan.
First of all, several major arm guards of the Citadel are being closed. However, since the person who closed the Citadel Arm Guards is Saren, he is actually waiting for the overlord to come and then closes communication with the outside world.
All the guys in the ring area have been evacuated by Ada, and now only the guard area has not been evacuated.
However, Xie Yuan is not too worried about the life safety of the people in the Guard District, because both Saren and Overlord are people above efficiency, and they know to focus on the most important things.
"Ha! I'm really curious now," Ada suddenly exclaimed on the teammate communication platform, "How can the future Citadel Council defeat the Reapers? This is simply massacre."
"What's wrong?" Xie Yuan didn't understand that Ada suddenly started to sigh, so he also asked aloud.
"Just now, three giant Turian ships collided directly with the Overlord. The former did not hit the latter and exploded, while the latter suffered almost no damage."
Ada's voice was filled with sadness: "If the Reapers have hundreds of super-dreadnoughts like this, is there any chance of resistance in this universe?"
"It's hard to say," Xie Yuan did not hide his pessimism. "Our fight against the Reapers is like weighing yi with baht. There is no advantage on the surface. In the end of the fight, it is very likely that it will be an inevitable defeat. "
2k
"Then why are we still wasting time here?" Ada didn't understand Xie Yuan's behavior of doing so many things. "Although this is the place where you were born, I don't think there is anything here worthy of your nostalgia. place."
"Why not?" He didn't quite agree. "Have you seen this vast universe? If this becomes our private land in the future, there will be countless resources that can be used.
We can use these resources to build the power that will make us stronger—anything goes. "
"But how do we defeat the Reapers?"
"Why not?" Xie Yuan knew this well, "This battle indeed cannot be completed in one generation or even several generations from the beginning. There is no way to confront us head-on.
But do you really think we have no way to defeat the Reapers? Have you ever thought about skipping a few hundred years to when the Reapers are quiet again? "
"This..." Ada fell into silence.
Ada understands what Xie Yuan means. In her world, she has watched the 1984 movie "Terminator" and the 1991 "Terminator 2".
Both movies mention a time weapon that allows the protagonist to go back to the past from the future to solve things that have not happened yet.
Ada couldn't say whether the technology of time machine existed or not - after all, interstellar navigation could be realized in this world or even in the UFO world. There was no reason why time machine couldn't be realized.
It’s just a matter of finding the right world.
Even if a time machine can travel from the future to the past, why can't it travel from the present to the future?
Ada fell into thinking...
…
But just as Ada was deep in thought, something unexpected happened to Xie Yuan.
Just as they watched the Overlord dock at the top of the giant tower, the elevator they were riding suddenly stopped midway.
Xie Yuan put on the fully sealed helmet immediately and immediately connected the life support device.
Shepard glanced at Xie Yuan with a smile, very satisfied with his sensitive and timely response, but quickly regained his composure and reminded Liana and Tali: "Saren has locked the elevator. Get ready, we’re going out!”
The one who really needs time to put on the mask is Liana. As for Tully... she is always in protective suit mode.
"Bah!!!" The moment the glass shattered, the voice suddenly stopped as if someone was being strangled.
Everyone also began to ignore gravity and used magnetic shoes to hang firmly on the elevator maintenance shaft.
At the same time, the Overlord's last octopus-like mechanical tentacle was firmly locked on the top of the giant tower.
And Saren was there.
Now it is joint cooperation and unity. Xie Yuan has also begun to reach a good cooperation with Shepard: when Xie Yuan sprints forward, Shepard uses three guns, superpowers and technological assistance to cover his progress and start repairs. Well fire defense system.
When the three Shepards began to sprint, Xie Yuan acted as their precision shooter, accurately killing enemies that threatened them.
They also started to turn on the automatic control system of the close-in defense gun on the other side.
With the help of these fixed turrets, intensive firepower gradually began to clear out the geth ships approaching them - thanks to the Overlord's disdain for these small organic creatures, the only real attacks on them were some geth troop transports.
And this will also become the first dagger stabbed in the heart of the overlord!
…
After wandering around for a while, the four-person team finally arrived at a maintenance shaft access door on the top floor. After entering, they could finally get rid of the sealed helmet.
So the so-called Citadel main control system is not the place where the three major council members used to stand? !
This Virgil... can't he speak clearly? The old Riddler.
After killing the minions, we are basically not far from Saren, and the insurmountable chasm facing the parliamentary seat in the past is now connected by a bridge.
Saren was within reach... and then he reacted immediately, locked the system, and jumped down.
Good guy, he actually disappeared?
No! In fact, Xie Yuan was feeling a rising malice - Saren appeared again on a hoverboard!
And as soon as he takes action, a smart bomb flies over!
The rocket rushed very quickly and reached half the distance between the two parties in one fell swoop!
"Bang! Peng!" Xie Yuan, who didn't dare to be lazy, finished it in one go, drew his gun and fired, detonating the smart bomb close to Chi Chi.
This bomb probably had more of a shock and deterrent effect, and it didn't feel very powerful. However, the huge air waves and fragments generated by the explosion still prevented everyone from taking the slightest risk and could only find bunkers for cover.
Saren also took this opportunity to face Shepard's team head-on, but did not act rashly. Because all the minions on the mechanical agent side were dead at this moment, and Saren was the only one with real personal combat power.
Although he had regained the initiative, Shepard had four people here - among them Xie Yuan, who in his opinion had always been conserving his strength and not working hard, had not gained much tactical advantage.
So everyone began to enter the time of talking nonsense (talking) that everyone loves to hear.
