From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Twenty-eight hours later, in the core world of 0459;

The CCS-class battlecruiser and four CRS-class light cruisers have been surrounded by the Atlas fleet in the core area, and the fire control and defense systems have been forcibly shut down.

Moreover, the artificial stars in the earth's core world dimmed automatically, creating a "full moon and dark night" atmosphere here.

At the same time, various insects living in the forest also began to make chirping sounds, and nocturnal creatures left their nests and used the cover of darkness to forage.

But in the lower areas of the two fleets, there was——

Boom. Boom~——!

The roar of the engine resounded.

"Class 3! Hurry up and transport the building materials to the 6- construction site!"

"Hey! Hex is paralyzed, maintenance team! Maintenance team!"

And the captains of the Atlas Engineering Team are grumpily directing their respective team members to start the construction of a semi-permanent base.

I saw large lighting equipment installed around it, as well as strong lighting from two Fides-class ships, which provided the engineering team with a good environment for night work.

Tens of thousands of Hex robots are spread throughout the base that has gradually taken shape, and engineers wearing simple mechanical skeletons are responsible for on-site command and control of the construction progress of the robots, and will personally go into battle when necessary.

As for the engineering personnel driving the exclusive mecha, they work with the maglev trucks to transport the building materials and supplies that are unloaded to the ground.

And sometimes the temple defenders would deviate from their original flight path while patrolling, lowering their altitude to observe Hex robots that had no sense of autonomy and only knew how to act in accordance with the program.

The eye-like monitors will continue to flash, as if they are thinking about whether they are working tirelessly and tirelessly like the Hex robots.

Fortunately, the temple defenders did not think too much about their "viability". After a short observation, they returned to the established channel and continued their patrol mission.

Also.

The first area of ​​the base to complete construction is the prisoner "concentration camp" located at the far left end.

Tyrants equipped with small-caliber plasma cannons or rotating Gauss cannons, as well as heavily armed emergency countermeasures units (AECS), are the "prison guards" guarding this place.

After the Engineering Department completed the construction of the prison area where the elites and Grunts were imprisoned, they began to build the fixed device for Ark teleportation to instantly link Shield World 0459 and the frontline base of Harvest Star.

In this way, the three-month jump voyage can be eliminated and the purpose of quickly transferring personnel and materials can be achieved.

In the prison area at this moment;

"Huhu."

"Yeah"

The Grunt, who had removed his armor and weapons but kept his methane bottle and breathing mask, was lying sprawled out in the cell and sleeping soundly, seemingly accepting his status as a prisoner very obediently.

After all, their requirements are very simple, that is, to eat well, drink well, and sleep well. Nothing can make them feel more at ease than these.

What's more, here you don't have to endure the humiliation and oppression of the jackals, and you don't have to worry about being strangled or hammered to death by the Jiralhanae at any time, or even being used as food by the Jiralhanae.

So the Gurus enjoy life as captives.

On the other hand, the elites deep in the prison area

"Ow!!"

"Ow"

But the tone of "ouch" echoed one after another.

They were forced to take off their power armor and only wore one-piece combat uniforms. However, because the color of the combat uniforms was similar to their skin color, it made the elites look like they had nothing to wear.

As they advocate fighting and glory, it is difficult for them to accept the humiliation of being imprisoned here!

However, the empty dinner plates placed in the cell show that even the fighting race cannot escape the temptation of food that smells good and tastes good when they are hungry.

The environment of the elite home planet is similar to that of the earth's deserts, and they also need nutrients such as protein and carbohydrates to maintain daily activities.

So the ordinary employee meal prepared by Atlas for them is like opening the door to a new world.

At first, the elite thought that how could rice, noodles, braised meats, and green stir-fried vegetables be as good as the food from home?

But after eating, most of the elites "fell" instantly.

If their race hadn't been more face-saving and valued their dignity more than their lives, they would have asked Atlas to give them a few more meals.

But after eating, they regained their energy and continued to squawk.

Listening to the meaning, it seems to be saying "Let us out if you have the guts!", "We are the strongest in a head-on confrontation!", "Don't you just have a few giants backing you?!".

He was obviously being tough.

As for Garol, who had previously led Riemann, there were also the commander who had taken off his golden armor, and twenty elite guards were assigned to a large cell.

They are much quieter than the rest of their species.

The elite commander sat in the corner with his head lowered, wondering what he was thinking.

But one thing that is certain is that being instantly killed by Riemann severely dampened the confidence of the elite commanders. They even began to doubt whether Riemann and the Thunder Warriors were really the legendary gods.

Garol wanted to say some comforting words, but was worried that his military rank was too low, so he had to choose to shut up and wait.

Boom, boom.

Just as the fellow clan members were shouting until their mouths were dry, the sound of heavy footsteps unique to magnetic boots echoed through the entire prison area.

!!!

Hearing the footsteps, the entire Sangheili instantly calmed down.

After all, the scene of the Thunder Warriors hammering away energy shields with their bare hands and knocking them out with their swords is still vivid in my mind.

From their perspective, ten thunder warriors holding bolt rifles were walking in the corridor accompanied by two "women" wearing black slim-fitting uniforms with long and short hair.

And walking at the forefront is a "giant" who is one meter taller than the Thunder Warrior, that is -

Sui Yang.

The two "women" following behind are Apu and Melissa who have physical bodies.

Sui Yang went straight to the cell where Garol was held, and looked down at the elite commander squatting in the corner.

"Ow"

Upon seeing this, Garol and the elite guards suddenly became nervous.

?

At this time, the elite commander noticed something unusual, raised his head, and looked at Sui Yang, whose pupils shone with golden light.

Immediately afterwards——

boom--! !

The looming light began to radiate outward rapidly with Sui Yang as the center, instantly covering the entire prison area.

This move also instantly changed the relationship between the Forerunners and humans, as well as Atlas being a giant military-industrial complex spanning different universes, and the scene where Sui Yang himself opened the space gate, directly instilling spiritual energy into all elites and Grunts. in mind.

Relaxed for a long time.

The light emitted by the spiritual energy dimmed, but Sui Yang's spiritual energy was like a tree taking root in the soil, permanently affecting the consciousness of the elites and the Gurus.

"Ziondel Bank Rother."

At this moment, the elite commander, who had been depressed just now, knelt on one knee and said with great respect in the language of their elite clan:
