The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1785. Master Chief, John 117

At this moment, this stalwart figure was naked from the waist up. His solid muscles were as hard and developed as if they were made of iron. His broad shoulders were full of strength, as if they were motionless despite the weight of Mount Tai.

There are five neural interfaces arranged on his spine, the top one is located on the brain stem at the back of his head.

John-117, a.k.a. Master Chief!

The most legendary warrior in the Halo world! In that world, he was present in almost every battle and every major change. It can be said that he alone changed the direction of the war between the United Earth Government (UEG) and the Covenant.

And such a legendary figure was indeed awakened in the legendary level of the mothership.

Of course, unlike other legendary figures, Tang Xiao's awakening of the Master Chief was basically expected by Tang Xiao. He could guess who the question mark that suddenly appeared among the legendary figures was.

After all, this candidate appeared after he launched the Spartan Project and awakened Dr. Halsey. Facts also proved that Tang Xiao's guess was correct. The conditions for John 117's awakening were indeed the unfolding of the Spartan Project and the awakening of Dr. Halsey. In addition, it also included substantial progress in the Spartan Project. It was not just about creating a folder. At the same time, there is another condition: having at least a sphere of influence above the star sector level and being in a state of war or potential war.

John 117 did not have much communication with Tang Xiao. The first thing he said in front of Tang Xiao after being awakened was, "Where is the enemy?"

Then Tang Xiao told him that the contract had just been concluded, but the outbreak of war again was unavoidable.

So John 117 dropped one sentence and said, "I'll be ready." Then he walked away.

Dr. Halsey looked at John 117's back, opened the door, walked in, and asked, "How do you feel? John."

"Very good. In fact, I never felt like I had a problem." John 117 raised his hand and clenched his fist hard, still keeping his back to this side.

"No, there is a problem. The place you are about to go is very far away. We cannot provide you with effective logistics and help there. I have to make sure that everything is foolproof." Dr. Halsey shook his head.

"I know, the planet Mandalore." John 117 said, "I have listened to Rethoth and the others telling the story of this planet... The Mandalorian Crusaders, they are respectable warriors. I am honored to stand side by side with them. It is an honor to help them rebuild their former glory."

At this time, a beep sounded from a facility ahead, and then several data cables connected to John 117 sprayed out a burst of condensed mist, and then left his body with a sizzling sound.

Then the surrounding machinery began to move, and a gantry more than 2 meters high moved along the slide rails to cover him, and then four flexible mechanical arms began to install the parts of the power armor on him.

The disassembled Crusader Type I power armor had hundreds of parts, but with the efficient and accurate movements of the robotic arm, it was assembled in less than three minutes.

John 117 then slowly turned around, looked at the two people in front of him, nodded lightly, and simply said hello, "Grand Duke, Doctor."

Tang Xiao looked at the majestic and mighty warrior in front of him and nodded slightly.

Although his set of power armor is also Crusader Type I, its appearance is hugely different from the one driven by Huang Yehao just now. In fact, it looks very similar to the well-known Thor's Hammer power armor. And the paint has also been changed to military green.

The full-coverage helmet, panoramic projection equipment looked orange from the outside, and covered all of John 117's expressions, making him look as ruthless as a machine.

Dr. Halsey said: "This power armor was tailor-made by me for John 117. Considering the subsequent design of Thor's Hammer power armor, I fully referred to the appearance characteristics of Thor's Hammer and designed this Crusader I The type of power armor has been modified. In this way, John can easily adapt when changing the armor in the future."

"Thank you very much for your help, doctor. I like this power armor very much." John 117 said.

At this time, Tang Xiao raised his voice and said seriously: "Soldier, John! Number 117!"

"Yes!" John 117 immediately stood at attention and saluted, as standard and fast as a machine.

"I officially appoint you as the First Class Master Chief of the Navy of the Principality of Dawn! First, go to the planet Semels and report to the Infinity, the first ship of the Infinity-class super aircraft carrier! After that, you will use the Infinity as your base of operations to cooperate with The Mandalorians, led by Jango Fett, are carrying out a national liberation movement! Your first commander is Admiral Severance Tann, and in addition, you will also accept my direct leadership!" Tang Xiao said very solemnly.

"Yes!" Master Chief John 117 saluted vigorously again, his voice extremely firm, "The mission will be completed!"

"Remember, your task is only to cooperate with Jango Fett's actions. What you represent is the interests of the Principality of Dawn! Once the content of the action conflicts with the interests of the Principality of Dawn, then you have the right to handle it from your own position! If you can't decide, I always have a dedicated line here for you!" Tang Xiao said.

"Yes!" The Master Chief answered without any hesitation.

An inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of Tang Xiao's mouth, and he said: "Actually, I originally planned to have a test between you and Shi Aimin. But Shi Aimin is still in the Model Sector, assisting Director Peggy Carter. To carry out the task, so let's change the test to another person. Come on, hit me." He waved his hand casually.

"Grand Duke, please confirm this order." The Master Chief was also a little surprised, because in his opinion, Tang Xiao looked only about 1.78 in height, and his figure was not considered strong, and he was even a little thin. Compared to his own height of 2.03 meters, standing in front of Tang Xiao was like a giant.

He was very worried that he would kill Tang Xiao with just one punch.

"This is my order. You don't need to activate the power armor, just use your own strength to punch me with all your strength. Don't worry, if you can really beat me to death, I will make you an admiral immediately." Tang Xiao said calmly .

"Yes. I'm starting." The Master Chief nodded, raised his fist and shook it to indicate that he was about to punch, and then punched Tang Xiao hard in the chest!

This punch even brought up a strong wind in the surrounding air! Even the air in front of the fist was compressed at an extremely fast speed, and there was a faint roar!

Bang! ! ! The fist was blocked by an invisible force less than 10 centimeters from Tang Xiao's chest. The huge force collided, and the impact caused even the instruments and facilities around the laboratory to rattle!
