too late, organism

So before Maoche can completely control his loyal electorate, or establish a solid base, he needs to continue to threaten, and this threat refers to the Star Alliance.

Therefore, rather than directly assaulting the capital of the Covenant, the City of Fraternity, letting the Covenant disintegrate directly from a bulk country into a bunch of warlords fighting endlessly will not have the ability to threaten UEG.

It is better to gobble up the industrial system of the Star Alliance step by step, and pull the aliens led by the Guru and the Sangheili into his electorate to balance the power of the UEG.

As for the issue of pulling aliens to join the electorate, it involves an ancient philosophical issue, that is, what is a human being?Is it a carbon-based monkey with dreadful Homo erectus DNA who still wants to gain autonomy when human beings are in crisis and pushes human beings to the brink of destruction?

Or is it that the DNA is different from the dreaded upright ape, but the living habits and values ​​are the same as that of humans, and the aliens who fight on the front line of armed defense of humans are considered humans?

Obviously, when the Tribunal of the Electorate is liquidating the former, Maoche intends to draw the latter, currently dominated by the Star Alliance Liberation Army, into the Electorate.

When Shinra used the gesture of a liberator to rescue those Guru who had their traditions and cultures erased by the Star Alliance from the oppression of the Star Alliance, and then used Shinra to mix Kopru, Shinra, and the Human Empire There is also a part of the suture monster culture of the Zinor culture, which transforms these Grunts.

Transform these poor creatures who breathe methane and explode at the slightest bit, into citizens with ideals, pursuits, beliefs, and missions.

The Holy Roman Empire has spanned three worlds. Even with the population growth rate of Gestalt and the vast number of humans joined by Copru, Shinra still has a large number of planets in the empire's mainland waiting for more population to develop. Not to mention the Kopru Province, which still has a large number of undeveloped habitable planets.

So let those grunts have such an astonishingly high fertility rate that in order to prevent them from being too large, and let them take on the most dirty work within the Star Alliance, it will be very popular within Shinra.

Even Shinra's speed of producing population from the assembly line is not enough to support Shinra's large-scale development plan for the Kopru sector and the empire itself.

Shinra needs more population to develop those vacant habitable planets, to fill those production lines that cannot be fully operated due to lack of manpower, and of course there are naval fleets and research institutions that are always thirsty for new blood.

Even if the Grunts have never been known for being smart and brave, it doesn't matter, no matter how low the probability is, as long as the total amount goes up, there will always be some weird (crossed out) geniuses that are beyond the probability.

So as long as there is a little bit of ideological manipulation and ideological stamping, and a little mechanized transformation, these Guru people with their own characteristics of rapid reproduction and gregariousness will become the best labor force in Shinra. Before the last gram of metal in the province, Shinra will never surrender." After the sentence, there is an additional sentence "Until the last drop of blood from the Guru, Shinra will never surrender."

As for those Sangheili people who are full of honor, it depends on their brains. As long as their brains are flexible enough, the cat car will also leave them a suitable place in the future electorate. However, this opportunity is fleeting. After all, the most indispensable thing in Shinra is the martial arts with a brain full of muscles. Among them, a Zerg Zerg who does not want to be named is about to eat the rest of a certain Imperial Fist through their performance. The budget of those divisions was upgraded from the provincial armed forces outside the regular establishment of the empire to the regular army of the empire.

After all, after the Shinra Forbidden Army and the Star Warriors were created, the reorganization of the Shinra ground forces has already been put on the agenda.

After suffering a loss in the Warhammer world and almost being successfully jumped by the Orc orcs, Shinra still has a little understanding of the importance of the army. Although this ancient army is not as sharp as the navy and has great limitations Sex, but without these big heads, this battle is really not easy to fight, especially after the combat effectiveness of the traditional troops of the empire can't keep up with the new troops like the Shinra Imperial Army and the War Sisters.

After testing the combat effectiveness of each new unit in his hands, Maoche made the decision to divide his troops. He divided the huge land combat force in his hands into several battle groups, and prepared to seize those important industrial planets of the Star Alliance first.

As long as these important industrial bases are preserved, the remaining members of the Covenant Alliance will not be considered within the scope of the cat's car, whether it is a fight between a bull and a horse or a horse to kill a cow.

It's just that when dividing the battle groups, Maoche only pays attention to the combat effectiveness of the ground troops and the super-light speed of the battleships, and divides these battle groups. It doesn't notice that one of them is Sparta and the UNSC that has completed the refit. The army-based battle group is actually not under his complete control, although theoretically speaking, the core combat force of that battle group is the mechanized synthesis brigade from the Kopru province.

But apart from the synthetic brigade, they are basically members of the original ONI and UNSC, and one by one organizations lurking in the shadow of UEG are preparing to give Maoche a "surprise"

299 Operation Red Flag

Before Shinra arrived in the halo universe, ONI, who had predicted that human beings would probably die under the attack of the Star Alliance, planned to use the strongest warrior of all human beings, the second phase of Sparta, to grab the first place. A Covenant warship, and then use the best artificial intelligence of mankind to carry it on the pride of the second-stage Spartans, the soldier you can always trust 117-John called Cortana in the Master Chief's Hammer of Thor, to crack the star. Alliance navigation computer.

Then, after this group of super fighters got into a drunk driving accident, they pressed the heads of the three prophets of the Star Alliance to force a truce to continue the story of UEG's season card.

Although this plan was temporarily canceled with Shinra's strong intervention, as the cooperation with Shinra deepened, some UEG and ONI executives and an organization hidden in the shadow of UEG discovered that Shinra's attitude towards UEG was true. They completely treat themselves as their own people, and don't know what it means to be outsiders. The industrial system will give it away, and the infrastructure construction will be done as it pleases. Even the rebels have come to a group of professional intelligence organizations to attack.

Now, whether it is the two most important rebel organizations, Ksrovik and Frieden, they have been systematically attacked, and only a few lucky ones have the opportunity to enter the labor camp code-named "Gugra" for labor reform. As for the rest of the pack... let's just say the loyal plasma pistols never overheat.

Although from the overall point of view, everything is getting better, the Covenant Alliance that wants to exterminate mankind has been suppressed, the separatists have also been ruthlessly suppressed, and productivity and science and technology have also skyrocketed like Chakra.

After accepting Shinra's standard construction template, UNSC even successfully imitated Shinra's PDF-class frigate within a few months. Although it is only a basic version without heavy weapon pods and stealth systems, it also represents industry The system is starting to get on track.

But... these people found that if they continue to develop in this state, then UEG will stop thinking about autonomy, and basically be wiped out by Shinra within a dozen years.

It’s not that Shinra is bad, after all, there is a big brother who can shield you from the wind and rain, impart valuable knowledge to you, and improve your technical level. This kind of good thing is beyond the reach of ordinary people, but well... After the end, there is still a big difference whether UEG is a vassal state, a vassal state or a province directly.

Especially for these elites, the difference is even bigger, which means that their power has shrunk significantly, so at this time, we must work hard anyway. After all, a person's struggle is important, but The course of history must also be taken into account.

If Maoche has been using the tactics of the whole army to go in groups, then even if these guys have ideas, there is no basis for them to be implemented. After all, what they want to do is not to rebel aboveboard, but to prepare to make things slightly in the direction they expected. A little change happens.

For example, resuming Operation Red Flag to directly decapitate the Covenant. According to the existing information, as long as the city of fraternity can be destroyed, hanging the three prophets on the gallows can disintegrate the Covenant.

After the disintegration of the Star Alliance, the threat of this once behemoth to UEG will naturally be lifted, then UEG will be able to slowly reduce their dependence on Shinra, and have more time to study the forerunners. Creation, especially when these elites know that they are the legitimate heirs of the Forerunners, with legitimate claims to all the Forerunner relics among the stars.

The future of becoming a big country independently, and the big brother who is integrated with Shinra is looking at your future, and the comparison suddenly becomes unspeakable.

So when this strike group mainly composed of UNSC troops was established, some powerful people in ONI immediately issued the plan to restart the Red Flag, and let the UNSC strike group begin to implement this plan.

Compared with Operation Red Flag, which once only planned to send 25 second-stage Spartans to snatch a Covenant warship, the success rate of this unprecedentedly powerful strike group to carry out Operation Red Flag is far higher than the previous one. It's much better to work hard by yourself, relying on the stupidity of the Star Alliance for seventy percent, and relying on the destiny's red flag for the remaining ninety percent.

Besides, even if the action fails, Shinra has the bottom line, so why not do it?

So when Maoche discovered that things did not develop as he expected, those Shinra infiltrators lurking in the Star Alliance had spread the video of the human being as the designated orthodox heir of the Forerunner to almost all of the Star Alliance. Watch the video on the terminal.

And other battlegroups also started to invade the industrial planet of the Covenant Alliance. It can be said that the cat car temporarily lost control of the lone battlegroup.

After all, when Maoche knew that this battle group was going alone, these UNSC combat troops had already launched a landing operation against the City of Fraternity. Let St. Pantine go and see who is being disloyal.

And the invasion of the City of Fraternity by the unprecedentedly powerful UNSC troops has also gone very smoothly, at least so far.

After the naval warships were collectively paralyzed, the City of Fraternity did not fall into panic, not only because the three prophets assembled a large number of troops in the City of Fraternity for their final pilgrimage before the battleships collapsed. .

It is also because in the long years, the city of fraternity, which looks like a giant mushroom-like large space station with an axis length of more than [-] kilometers, has been strengthened from generation to generation. Qing's weapon platform is called the Spear of Faith. The super-heavy plasma cannon and plasma laser launcher installed on these weapon platforms are enough to protect the core of the Covenant under the siege of a fleet.

But the strong fortresses that have been strong since ancient times have been breached from the inside, and the UNSC's attack on the City of Fraternity is also like this. The armed platforms on the ground were as motionless as soldiers welcoming the return of the king.

It allowed the UNSC fleet to easily launch a landing battle on the city of fraternity. When the landing began, the landing force only suffered resistance from the Covenant infantry at the landing point.

Those Covenant heavy vehicles, including undead and scarabs, were temporarily unable to reach the battlefield because the doors of those warehouses were locked.

At least when the UNSC troops began to land, those Covenant armored units who had chosen their allegiance were still fighting for the gates of their warehouses.

As for the rest of the people who saw what 343 Evil Spark said that human beings are the successors, they came up with some other ideas.

301 A Better Future

Although theoretically these lone UNSC troops are tantamount to rebellion, after learning of the whereabouts of this battle group, the cat car can only let the Shinra infiltrators initiate Attacking makes everything better.

After all, except for a small number of officers who walked alone, the UNSC strike group gathered not only UNSC, but also almost all active Spartan fighters, and three Hell paratroopers who were equipped with Coprue equipment while waiting for the gene seeds. The best of them, and an entire force from Kopruh's Mechanized Synthetic Brigade.

Once this strike group, which can be called a model force, is lost, the subsequent political issues will become very difficult, and it will also give the Covenant the illusion that I can do it.

So even if the strike group left alone, Maoche had to provide support to the strike group, even if they were attacking a target that shouldn't be attacking now.

But for this kind of thinking boy, Maoche also neatly allocated five medical ships of the SCP Foundation to this strike group, and prepared to install a hundred or eighty processors for these thinking boys, so that these boys They can also think like this when they are stuffed under the sand table to command imaginary enemy troops.

With the cooperation of the Shinra infiltrators who have already lurked into the city of fraternity, with all the warships and defense facilities in the city of fraternity lying down, the first wave of hell landed after the more efficient airdrop pods were installed. The paratroopers easily established several beachheads on the city of Fraternity.

Compared with the usual UNSC standard M8823 airborne pods that carry one crew member in one airdrop pod, there is a [-]/[-] probability that it will fail during the airborne and directly become the steel coffin of the occupant.

The airborne pod from Copru is much more reliable. It can not only airdrop a fully armed squad to the ground at one time, but also transport these marines safely to the ground as long as they are not hit by anti-aircraft fire. The small-caliber weapons in the landing field effectively protect the marines until they leave the landing pod or are hit by large-caliber weapons.

Under the transportation of this efficient airdrop capsule, the first wave of Hell paratroopers who landed no longer have to look for their own team and commander in the chaos after leaving the cabin, and then find their own team and commander in the chaos after the airborne. Start the task.

After the airborne, the Hell Paratroopers, which had a complete organization and were equipped with powered armor, emptied the Covenant troops who were about to come to clean up the threat with a dense rain of bullets the moment the hatch door opened, and cleared possible threats for the subsequent landing troops. after.

Those G-226 medical transport planes painted with golden double-headed eagles, SCP and UNSC emblems are like flocks of migratory birds overwintering. While sending a large number of backup troops to the city of fraternity, they also quickly land the first batch The paratroopers who were unfortunately shot were pulled back from the brink of death.

The arrival of the G-226 medical transport plane also represented the strongest and deadliest ground assault force in the UNSC attack group, which was dropped into the heart of the Covenant.

"Bastards! The target location has been confirmed, start attacking, be careful not to die!"

When the word "received" sounded in the radio communication, the tank with the number 404 repainted and the words Agricultural Machinery Leasing Hotline still vaguely visible on the rear armor rushed forward with the roar of the engine. .

Anyone with a little common sense knows that as long as these tanks continue to advance, they cannot be stopped by the current Covenant soldiers who lack heavy equipment.

Obviously, the three prophets who failed to carry out the next plan because of the warship lying on the nest could also see this, so they began to think What will they do next to reverse the situation.

The last time they were so desperate was when they discovered that the Covenant's pilgrimage was a lie, and that humans were the true heirs of the Forerunners.

But at least at that time, as long as the news is suppressed, they still have the powerful armed forces of the Star Alliance in their hands, and they can wipe out those monkeys to prevent the Star Alliance from disintegrating.

And now not only the battleships of those monkeys have begun to airborne in the city of fraternity, but not long ago, a video of an unknown guide and those monkeys was broadcast on all the display terminals in the city of fraternity, in that video The guide announced that those monkeys were the true heirs of the Forerunners, and that there was no ascension, only super weapons that would destroy all intelligent creatures.

So after the video was broadcast, the city of fraternity, which was the core of the Star Alliance, immediately became turbulent, especially when the three prophets lifted the Sangheili honor guards not long ago, those who were originally the core of the Star Alliance The Sangheili, who were the hardcore fighters and also the core of the Covenant's ground force command, almost immediately demanded an explanation from the Sanshim who had been responsible for explaining the pilgrimage.

But at this time, what explanation can even the three prophets make?What else can be done besides saying that these blasphemers fabricated the video and ordered all troops to fight to the death?

In their hands, they had a guide left by another forerunner, the ancient guide who claimed to be the monk of prejudice. It was that guide and the forerunner dreadnought it was on that crashed into the home planet of the San Sims. Some San'Shim who believed that they should intensify their research on the remains of the Forerunner boarded this dreadnought and left, which led to the birth of the Star Alliance and everything after that.

So this incident proves how important it is to master a foreign language and to translate carefully instead of brain-filling your own homework.

Of course, if the pilgrimage was real, and the San'shim were indeed the First Sons of God as they claimed, they could have called out the Prejudice Monk for that guide to stabilize the Covenant.

But did the three prophets really dare to do this?After their faith collapsed, they also asked the leader who led them, and after getting the answer "You are rotten fish and rotten shrimps who are worthy of inheriting the pioneers?", the three prophets knew what they could do. All that was done was to find the ring of the Forerunner before the disintegration of the Star Alliance and lead everyone on the path of ascension, to end this lie before it was too late.

After figuring out how to end it all, the three prophets are ready to abandon the troops who are still trying to stop the rolling steel tracks of the UNSC, and use the last resort to end this lie and give everyone a better future.

Section 302 Decision

"Communication with the Prophet has not progressed."

"Go ahead! Your Excellency!"

In a corner of the City of Fraternity, Tier Vadami, a kamikaze warrior of the Covenant generation who was supposed to lead his subordinates to resist the UNSC invasion force, was looking at the Holy Key Ship in the distance and listening to what he had just received from the three prophets. Returning Elite Warrior report message.

Although the garrison fleet and defense platforms in the city of fraternity are disabled, and most of the heavy equipment is locked in the warehouse, this does not mean that the city of fraternity has become a piece of meat on the chopping board.

Those ghost-faced beasts whose morale is high because they were upgraded to honor guards are blocking the UNSC troops' attack on every street and every intersection, and at the same time, those locked warehouse doors are also working together with tools such as bombs and cutters. successively open.

Although the ammunition depot and those automated preparation facilities were also paralyzed, resulting in low preparation efficiency, the heavy vehicles of the Covenant also began to gradually appear on the battlefield.

And the most indispensable thing in this space station, which is the core of the Star Alliance, is the population that can be sent to the battlefield as soldiers to consume.

It's just...is it really necessary to continue fighting?

Till Vadami looked at the key ship in the distance that symbolized the blessing and recognition of the Forerunners to the Star Alliance, and recalled the strange decision of the three prophets for the human species in the past 30 years.

One of the two races at the founding of the Covenant, the Sangheili were the first civilization in the universe to be at war with the San'Shium.

In fact, if it weren't for the overwhelming strength of the dreadnought ship that was a relic of the forerunner, the San Heili could be said to have the upper hand in the war with the San Sim, able to crush those magic sticks and hammer hard.

However, the creations of the forerunners are not these. They have climbed a round of technology trees since they were knocked out. They are still a few UNSC levels away from their heyday. They are really at a loss for this huge battleship that still drags a piece of land. .

So the two sides finally had to shake hands and make peace, and the San'Shim, who realized that their combat power was low, also pulled these four-petal mouths that they had failed to win with the technology of the forerunners into their camp. "Walking the glory of the pioneers" among the stars.

Knowing this, Till Vadami was puzzled by the three prophets' refusal to have diplomatic contact with humans in the past battles, and to completely erase all traces of humans. After all, every time a new member is added to the Star Alliance Often it means war.

And even the Grunts who launched a rebellion are still members of the Star Alliance, so this ruthless attitude towards human beings makes Tier Vadami merciless in slaughtering humans. This question has always existed in my heart, but as a soldier, an order is an order. If you don't understand it, then strengthen your understanding during execution.

So Tyr Vadami became the most beautiful boy in the war between the Star Alliance and humans, until he was defeated in the Battle of Reach Star, he became a kamikaze warrior and prepared to atone for his failure, but because all the warships were abnormal. Do not linger in the City of Fraternity waiting for ship maintenance to complete.

Then Tier Vadami saw the conversation between the guide and humans on his terminal, as well as the UNSC's raid on the City of Fraternity, and then Tier Vadami wanted to understand why the Prophet would be so cruel to humans. It is this attitude.

However, as the last point of struggle, or the inertia brought about by years of obedience, Tier Vadami sent his adjutant to ask the three prophets, hoping that the three prophets would invite the envoy to reprimand these A heretical statement that stains the glory of the forerunner with lies.

But the prophets shut the door on Tir Vadami's lieutenants, and only let a grimace beast who was proud of wearing the honor guard equipment to tell Tir Vadami's adjutants "Stand firm in your faith , keep those heretics out of the ruins of the forerunners."

Recalling the abnormal performance of the three prophets all the time, Tier Vadami had the answer in his heart, the pilgrimage road was a lie.

But even with the answer, Tir Vadami is still confused. In this slow war, all the races in the Star Alliance have formed blood feuds with humans. This hatred is not a simple border conflict or trade friction. A small problem that can be solved with a memo, but a hatred formed by the blood of tens of billions of people in several colonies.

Will humans let these San'Sh'im, who are the top thugs of the Covenant, just because the Sangheili were deceived by the San'Sh'im?

Till Vadami is not shameless enough to say to those humans who burned six colonies and destroyed hundreds of warships by himself: "I just followed orders, this is a problem with the Star Alliance system, and I am also a victim Those." This kind of shameless words to the extreme.

But whether the Covenant's pilgrimage can actually make people ascend to a holy place, or be disintegrated into ashes like the video said is a question.

Just when Tier Vadami was still hesitating what choice he was going to make, watching Tier Vadami stand still and the city of fraternity's defense troops retreating steadily.

The UNSC's fastest-advancing troops have reached the first line of defense deployed outside the Holy Key ship, and the three prophets can even see how the red-painted UNSC tank easily destroyed the four Wraiths that were urgently deployed to the defense line car time.

The three prophets made a decision. If the existence of the Star Alliance itself was a mistake, then as the last prophets of the Star Alliance who have seen everything, they must give this wrong organization a decent ending, even if the San'Shiums are not the forerunners. The designated heir, so what?

If the heir designated by the Forerunner trembles under the might of the Covenant, it proves that the Covenant is more qualified than humans to inherit all that the Forerunner left behind, doesn't it?

What's more, even if they have made a heinous mistake in killing the heirs of the forerunners, they still have the opportunity to make up for it. As long as they activate the rings that allow the forerunners to ascend to sanctification, the entire galaxy will be bathed in the forerunners. Under the glory of the forerunner, it became the second civilization to ascend to holiness after the forerunner.

This is the best reward the San'Shim can give to those humans who have been brutally slaughtered.

As for what the heretic guides in the terminal said, those girdles were only used to fight against the ancient enemy weapons of the Forerunners...

At this point, the prophets can only pray that those heretics are really lying, but even if they are lying, so what?After losing this war, these prophets couldn't be more clear about what will happen to them, so there is no essential difference between dying under the weapons of the forerunners and dying under the weapons of the rebels or humans.

So while the defenders of the City of Fraternity were still stubbornly resisting the attack of the UNSC landing force, the Forerunner Holy Key Ship, which stayed on the big mushroom umbrella of the City of Fraternity, suddenly left the City of Fraternity and disappeared into the universe.

Section 303 287 MIA

When the city of fraternity shut down due to the sudden separation of the holy key ship, the entire space station lost more than [-]% of its energy, and billions of residents fell into a sad situation where they could die at any time due to lack of oxygen and water.
