From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

The City of Charity has a diameter of approximately 350 kilometers and is shaped like a giant mushroom.

The actual City of High Charity was originally a Forerunner dreadnought battleship. After thousands of years of continuous transformation and assembly, it gradually developed into a huge celestial-level space station.

Under the dome inside it is a huge city that can accommodate hundreds of millions of Covenant people.

The environment of the main area is similar to that of the earth's surface, with a gravity of about 0.95G, an atmospheric pressure of 1.03, and a temperature maintained between 10c and 25c.

Except for the Grunts who need to breathe "farts", most races that have joined the Covenant, and even humans, can carry out normal activities in the City of High Charity without the need for protective clothing or filtering masks.

Therefore, it became the absolute center of politics, economy, trade, and culture of the Covenant/Covenant Empire.

The San'Shyuum who founded the Covenant were the first race to launch High Charity. They were allies of the Ancient Humans during the Ancient Humans-Forerunner War.

However, after the Forerunners activated the Halo Array, the reborn San'Shyuum had long forgotten their ancient history.

Up to now, the San'Shyuum have been reduced to scum blinded by power, unscrupulous in order to firmly control the Covenant Empire.

Relying on the development and utilization of the relics and technology of the Forerunners, he calls himself the "Prophet Priest" and leads the Covenant on the so-called pilgrimage.

now.

Inside the bridge of the CCS-class battlecruiser named "Holy Light Advocate", the flagship of Siondel;

"Ouch."

Standing next to the center console, Riemann observed the outside world through the holographic screen. He couldn't help but raise his left hand, smoothing his messy beard, and said with emotion:

"Although that mushroom is not as big as the Reaper Mothership, the fleet that defends it is really shocking."

"Yeah, indeed."

Hearing this, Angron, who put his hands in front of his breastplate, nodded in agreement and said with a worried look on his face:

"Even if the company controls the Sojourner-class dreadnought battleship, if we really go to war head-on, we still have no absolute advantage."

"CSO-class." Fulgrim, on the other hand, used the real-time screen on the center console to look at the Covenant ship labeled "CSO-class super-heavy aircraft carrier."

And on the screen, the automatic filtering and scanning functions use red circles to outline nearly a hundred CSO-class aircraft carriers.

Among the brief data that appeared on the side, several items that made Fulgrim look solemn were "length: about 30km", "width: about 12km (maximum width)", "positioning: command ship, support ship".

Through Xian'del, they mastered the Covenant's main ship intelligence half a year ago.

Among them, the one that the Star Alliance is most proud of is undoubtedly the CSO-class super-heavy aircraft carrier.

The length alone is thirty kilometers.

It can accommodate the four Carthage and New Era aircraft carriers produced and built by Atlas. Its ground force deployment capabilities are beyond the reach of human aircraft carriers of these two levels.

Moreover, the CSO class that appeared in front of them had a scale of hundreds and served as the flagship of tens of thousands of warships, jointly guarding the City of Fraternity.

When they sailed out of the jumpspace and saw such a large fleet, Fulgrim wondered whether the company could fight it.

But no matter which plan it is, the result is "defeat."

There is no way, even though Atlas has developed multiple universes, but analyzing the logistics, resources, population and other volume, the Covenant, which already occupies half of the galaxy, is simply crushed by all aspects.

Therefore, as my father envisioned, before humans officially come into contact with the Covenant, this huge religious empire needs to be plunged into civil strife.

"Everyone!"

Siander, who was sitting in the captain's seat, explained to the three primarchs in human language with a strong elite accent but quite fluently:

"The mushroom in front of us is us, the mobile capital of the Covenant Empire, the City of Charity.

Although it looks very cumbersome and bloated, its regular cruising speed is much faster than my flagship Holy Light Advocate, and its jump sailing speed is about three times that of ordinary ships. "

As he spoke, Xiander conveyed the "approach" command to the helmsman through the holographic panel on his right hand side, and then continued:

"In addition, under the rule of lies of the prophet family, all members of the covenant regard it as a sacred place and a starting point for pilgrimage where they can receive blessings from the gods.

but! With the leadership of my lord (Sui Yang), we will definitely expose it.”

"Captain Rosizer." Fulgrim interrupted Xiandel, who was looking pious, and reminded:

"Next, please be sure to control your emotions and don't deliberately show your resistance to the prophet family."

"Hahaha! Don't worry." Xiandel laughed a few times and assured Fulgrim:

"If it ruins my lord's plan, I won't be able to spare myself, let alone if it involves the glory of our clan, I will be even more careful."

"Well, I'm just reminding you." Fulgrim nodded lightly.

Fulgrim then saw through the holographic screen that they were about to enter the fire strike range of the guard fleet, so he walked out of the bridge with Angron and Riemann.

And said: "Captain Luo Size, I will ask you to handle the interrogation session of the Star Alliance from now on.

If the situation changes, please inform us as soon as possible. The three of us brothers will do everything possible to rush into the City of Charity and rescue you.

You know, from the moment you swore allegiance to our father, you and your tribe have become our compatriots. "

Hearing this, Siander raised his left hand again, patted his golden breastplate, and said proudly:

"Thank you for your kindness. Although the fleet I lead is not very large, I still have some connections! So there must be no problem with this routine inspection!"

Seeing that the other party was confident, Fulgrim left the bridge without saying anything.

When Angron passed by the captain's position, he nodded to Xiandel with a smile.

But Riemann.

"Brother, don't forget to find me some wine from your hometown when you have the chance!"

The matters Riemann gave did not seem to have the slightest connection with the action.

"Of course, my friend!"

But Xiandel responded cooperatively.

During the time he was learning the language with Melissa at the core base, whenever he had time, Riemann would go to the elite's garrison to "fight a few times" and "have a drink."

Over time, among all the primarchs on standby in Shield World 0459, Riemann, who seemed to have the least diplomatic attributes, had the best relationship with the elites.

Moreover, Xiandel, who was instantly defeated by Riemann, still regarded Riemann as a close friend.

After all, the stronger "伱" is and the more he pays attention to "martial ethics" and honor, the easier it will be to gain the favor and trust of the elite.

at this time.

After the three original bodies left the bridge, the radar observer sitting on the right side of Siandel reported to him in a deep voice:

"Captain, the defense fleet is verifying our ships

Verification completed.

According to the rendezvous procedure, the fire control system of the defensive fleet is still on, and our ships have been completely locked. "
