too late, organism

Elsewhere in the galaxy, the Battle of Heaven continues between the Brock Empire and the Council of the Custodians.

Although the previous two battles ended in the Brock Empire's victory, this time the custodian council, which suffered two consecutive defeats, completed the rebuilding of the fleet at a miraculous speed.

They once again assembled a huge fleet that was even larger than before, and squeezed out the last strength of those vassal states that had no way out, preparing to launch another large-scale offensive.

However, the Brock Empire, which has won two Pilocco-style victories in a row, did not complete the reconstruction of the fleet at any cost as quickly as the custodian council at this time.

In the reconquest movement launched by the Blok Empire after the awakening of Emperor Brock, in order to quickly complete the control of the newly conquered areas, a large number of governorships were established, and some "loyal and reliable" senior administrators were in charge of these governorships. operation.

At the beginning, the operations of these governorships were relatively normal, and they were able to pay taxes and resources to the empire on time and in good quality and quantity. However, as the expedition continued and more governorships were established, those "old nobles who first followed the emperor "After they also began to become one of these governors, corruption began to spread like a plague among these governors.

At the beginning, it may be that a naval frigate was used as the governor's own luxury cruise ship, and then when the amount of taxes was increased, the extra part was put into the pockets of himself and the person in charge.

Then there was a collapse of corruption. Those Brock people who arrived with the Governor, no matter what they did before, became moths on the huge body of the empire after a period of time.

As conquerors, these mushrooms who chanted "Blok priority" mercilessly squeezed the blood and sweat of the local aborigines, and once the locals showed the slightest dissatisfaction, these mushrooms would not mind spending a little money to let those who came from The troops withdrawn from the front line to rest helped themselves to "suppress the rebellion".

With the spread of this corruption, although the territory of the Brock Empire continued to expand, its industrial capacity began to decline slowly.

Although the internal affairs department of the empire has discovered this situation and has continuously sent action teams to try to reverse this situation, what they have to face is not one or two daring corrupt elements, but the silent confrontation of the entire bureaucracy.

Even if he knows that this situation requires these people to continue to support his own war, instead of creating a political turmoil within the empire, the emperor can only turn a blind eye and close one eye, just use those governors who have done too much Heads to warn others that we are still at war and the war is not over.

Therefore, the current administrators' council has completed the war preparations, and more and better warships have filled the losses of the previous sunken warships. When preparing to launch another large-scale battle, the fleet of the Brock Empire has not even been able to recover to the last time. The level before the campaign.

So it was no surprise that the Council of Agents launched a large-scale offensive before the Brock Empire was fully prepared, and successfully completed the suppression of the Brock fleet in the first stage of the campaign.

The first phase of the pincer offensive not only successfully surrounded several Brock Empire fleets that had made outstanding contributions in the previous battle, but also occupied several fortresses at key nodes, and delayed the counterattack of the Brock Empire's follow-up fleet.

The few main fleets of the Brock Empire who were surrounded were trapped and said; send EUR from! Group, stay!Stay*9: 80>2!0;5&8/56 in a small star field, if the Brock Empire can't open the passage as soon as possible, then the destruction of these fleets is only a matter of time.

And at this time, a huge space crack appeared in the Aquila gamma galaxy in the hinterland of a vassal civilization of the administrator.

No one knows why this space rift appeared, but it appears to be a one-way portal to another dimension.Strange flying machines swarmed out of this crack, attacking everything they saw indiscriminately

This seems to herald the arrival of a large-scale invasion like void demons.

Even Shinra, which is far away on the other cantilever, intercepted the signals from these spaceships, which sounded like whistles blown during hunting in ancient times.

Section 307 291

At first, the intrusion of this unknown force was not taken seriously by the council of trustees. As the Battle of Paradise progressed, there were too many deserters, careerists and speculators in the sphere of influence of the council of trustees. Pirate power.

These pirate forces would quietly appear from their hidden dark corners whenever the Council of Administrators mobilized fleets to fight against the Brock Empire, and then plundered those busy interstellar routes, and even directly ransacked those with insufficient defense forces. alien colony.

So at the beginning, the council of trustees just thought that this was nothing more than a large-scale pirate invasion, and they would naturally retreat when they robbed enough. There was no need to send military forces from the front line to fight against the pirates at the critical moment of the battle.

After the battle is won, a large number of fleets will naturally be dispatched to recover interest from these pirates.

Therefore, the council of administrators temporarily put aside the alarm sent by the defenders of that star field, and devoted all their energy to the battle with the Brock Empire. The advantages.

But when the emperor of the Brock Empire appeared on the battlefield with his old guards, the council of administrators still felt a lot of pressure. The generals of Emperor Locke's Old Guard have basically been reduced to dust among the stars.

Now there is only one general alive in the Council of Administrators. The old general who has been lying in the dormant cabin since the disappearance of the pioneers can deal with Emperor Brock in a head-to-head confrontation.

As for defeating the Old Guards head-on, it would take the entire main fleet of the Administrator Council as bait, the Pioneer Prediction Department, the General Staff and nine main fleet clusters, the full tonnage of 60 vassal civilizations, and 800 experienced Admiral, in short it would take a great empire to defeat him, and this great country and all that is gone.

However, apart from defeating Emperor Brock and his old guards head-on, the council of custodians has no other options.

Just like the war tens of thousands of years ago, no matter how strong Emperor Brock was, he was just a bunch of mushrooms. He could only ensure victory in the battlefield he was in, and he could not win every other battle. victory.

So as long as the Emperor Brock is contained, and then go to annihilate the rest of the Brock fleet and destroy their industrial planet, they will be able to win the war, just like the pioneers did.

For this reason, they must act cautiously and boldly, without any slack or hesitation, otherwise only bitter failure will greet them.

So when they were in the middle of the second phase of the operation, the old general was forcing Emperor Brock to go around in space with him.

A huge fleet surged out from the star field that the council of trustees thought was just attacked by pirates, destroying several important industrial galaxies in one go, as well as a main fleet that was resting in the rear.

It was only at this time that I realized that something was wrong with the custodian council, just like a student who fell asleep on the table after writing the test paper early, and only found out that he still had an unfinished test paper when it was only 15 minutes before handing in the test paper. Completely flustered.

And while the escrow council was arguing endlessly about this, the Shinra cake layer was also having a fierce quarrel.

Under the fusion warning of the cat car, the ancient AI who claimed to be the prejudiced monk uploaded himself to the backup processor of Shinra, and remotely guided the cat car and his guards to blow up the super key ship with the fusion warhead. The light speed engine temporarily ended the threat of the Flood coming out of the cage.

But after the threat of the Flood Demon was eliminated, with the occurrence of the high-dimensional invasion, the struggle between the two lines immediately appeared in the cake layer of Shinra.

First of all, the runaway faction believes that the current Shinra is too weak, even those bugs can't beat it, let alone the high-dimensional creatures that have just appeared and the solemn forces that don't know where to sleep.

Instead of continuing to waste time and energy here, it is better to pack up your things and run away. Isn’t the world of StarCraft peaceful and even the administrators are their own people? It exploded.

Those who stick to it think that now that the sky is falling, there are still tall people standing on top of it, the bugs are now blocked in the territory of the Star Sea Empire, and the invading high-dimensional demons are still in the territory of the custodian council, which is blocked by the custodian council. Guns are a great opportunity to expand Shinra's power. We should hurry up to explore other worlds to obtain more overseas territories of Shinra, and build more fleets to deal with threats.

There is a wormhole left by a pioneer standing, which means that Shinra still has infinite possibilities.

Once any wormhole station is abandoned and all retreat to the world of StarCraft, maybe there will be no accidents now, and there will be no accidents within 200 years, but what about 1000 years later? What about after 5000 years?The sand sculpture group friends who have completed the digitization of consciousness do not have a lifespan problem, and they can't say that after I die, I don't care about the flood.

What's more, the more you can't die, the more you are afraid of death. Although the halo world is still in turmoil, Shinra has also sent an engineering team to prepare a backup of the imperial host in the halo world just in case.

In that case, even if the first few backups all went wrong, then Shinra still has a chance to make a comeback.

Although that is the case, it seems that sticking to it is more hopeful than giving up the homeland, and at the same time, there is much more room for future development, but... I really can't beat it...

The pile of worms alone managed to survive only because the amount of time they passed through the wormhole was not too much. Now not only the naval officers of the other three alliance countries have a bunch of intensive phobia patients, Even the warships damaged in the last battle of New Constantinople have not yet been repaired.

Even the Human Federation, which is as rich in martial arts, has never considered such a counterattack plan at all.

I can't beat it... How can I fight it... The opposite side stands still and let you hit it. If you destroy the barrel, there will still be a lot of them left.

So at this time, when Maoche proposed that several fleets be needed to support him in building the electorate, and then fish out the halo of the pioneers of the halo world and use it as a powerful insecticide.

The plan passed a vote very quickly, and the only question was how many warships Shinra could draw to support the cats, and how many losses they could accept.

Chapter 308 292

Finally, after confirming through the invisible frigates hidden in the old place of the Star Sea Empire that the void demons are fighting with the last remnant forces of the Star Sea Empire, Shinra squeezed out a group of soldiers from the defenders of the New Constantinople Fortress Group The expedition fleet consisting of five titan ships, hundreds of battleships and supporting light warships was handed over to the cat car command in order to solve the threat of the halo world as soon as possible.

As long as a halo is produced, at least the threat of bugs can be solved. As for the high-dimensional invaders that just appeared... let's talk about it at that time.

After learning the news that the Shinra Expedition Fleet had already set off, after switching back to his research and diplomatic general-purpose body, he watched the cat car that was leaving the ring belt at sub-light speed and began to plan to launch a war against the UNSC and ONI's Great Purge.

At the same time, Mengsk once again found Mengsk's work of continuing to recruit soldiers from the Koprulu sector and go to the world of Halo to help him speed up the dumping of the legacy of the Star Alliance.

For this reason, Maoche promised to hand over a halo to Mengsk as his vacation estate at an appropriate time in the future.

After being upgraded to the free Sarnaga, Mengsk, as a qualified leader, led the Kopru Province to prosperity, but he did not change his habit of enjoying himself.

During these years of construction, the underground wine cellar of Mengsk's Amber Palace in Korha has become a huge underground complex enough for all residents on Korha to live in.

In addition to seeking help from Mengsk, the production lines of the Marine Corps in Shenluo, which had been shut down for many years, also began to operate again, preparing to provide enough ground force for the quagmire of the electorate.

In the territory of the former Star Alliance, except for the few industrial planets that were attacked by Shinra at the beginning, there is still some order. government status.

After the grievances that had accumulated among the various races and the various actions of the powerful military leaders after the Prophet's downfall broke out together, the Star Alliance has completely disintegrated.

At the same time, because the infiltrators of Shinra cut off the shipping between the various planets, and the most influential figures in the Star Alliance because of the City of Fraternity incident, they are now either squatting in the cell of the Trial Chamber or living on Earth. swing on the gallows.

Those who have the opportunity to come out to clean up the old mountains and rivers do not have the prestige and ability, and those who have the ability and reputation to come out to clean up the old mountains and rivers do not have that opportunity.

After discovering the strategic goal of quickly annexing the Covenant and keeping the Covenant's industrial system from being destroyed as much as possible, because the UNSC's independent move failed, Maoche gave up the idea of ​​​​quick victory.

Prepare to use those planets in chaos as training grounds, so that these troops in your hands can be fully exercised there.

And when they are completely tired, the Covenant Liberation Army in their hands can appear as the liberator of order, making the follow-up work relatively easy.

And keeping the Star Alliance airs for the time being can also let the group of guys in UEG who are not clear-headed understand that it is not yet time to fight among themselves, so that the SCP Foundation can slowly complete the transformation work.

After all, as a cat car under the red flag and growing in the spring breeze, it is not a bunch of Saxon savages. There are always some new ways to solve the problem besides scalping and shower room. The world is too big to be occupied by a group of toasters .

However, when Maoche issued the urgent list to the trial court, several soul-name-class transport ships suddenly flew out of the holy key ship that had been controlled by the flood.

This small transport ship, which was first designed by the Sangheili, is equipped with four pulse engines and a transport ship with a micro-jump engine. Although it cannot carry weapons, the speed of this ship is enough to avoid most threats. This kind of transport ship has always been the favorite of various unscrupulous businessmen and smugglers.

But now when these transport ships suddenly fly out of the holy key ship, even the cat car, which cannot physically panic, feels like breaking through the program limit and starting to panic at this time.

Ghosts don't know why the three prophets put this kind of fast transport ship in the holy key ship. Since the fighter jets of the Covenant and UNSC do not have the ability to travel faster than the speed of light, when cleaning the holy key ship, the guards of the cat car Neither went to attack the hangar section.

At that time, who would have thought that the Prophets still hid a few Soul Name-class transport ships in the hangar at the end, so when those transport ships rushed out from the holy key ship.

Although the frigate where the cat car was located immediately launched an attack, it only destroyed two of the transport ships in a haste, and injured several others. Even so, a transport ship with a particularly coquettish position escaped the interception of the frigate , Mao Che watched helplessly as the transport ship started its superluminal engine and disappeared into space.

What's even more damning is that due to the different way of traveling faster than the speed of light, the radar of the frigate where the cat car is located has not yet been able to detect where the transport ship jumped, and the cat car can't, and dare not chase the transport ship that is running away , who knows if the flood demon in this ring will have any backup.

For example, when the cat car runs on the front foot, the back foot of this ring belt will rub out a hundred and eighty soul name-class transport ships or something.

If this is the case, don't even think about choosing an empire for the cat car. It's serious to knock out 343 Guilty Spark with a stick and run away with the only halo sample now.

The current Shinra is not capable of fighting another group of equally troublesome bugs when encountering void demons on the mainland of the empire.

Although after interrogating the two prophets, the two prophets said that there are no more soul-name-class transport ships on the holy key ship, but Maoche knows that these two old men are very bad, and they will definitely not tell the truth, so Maoche Still continue to guard near the holy key ship.

As for the transport ship that escaped... The Flood's infection is also based on the basic (old) (man) method. To reproduce to the extent of ninety percent of a cosmic worm, it needs to occupy a large number of planets and absorb a large amount of biomass.

The only two that can provide the flood with massive biomass are UEG and the already shattered Covenant Alliance. As long as some clues are found, Shinra's glass-burning craftsmanship is learned from the star spirit of the Kopru sector. Especially after he developed a craft of smashing walnuts, Shinra finally became a master of the craft of destroying planets.

This high-end technology often only requires simple skills, and the final product made will make the orcs of the Warhammer world be silent when they see it, and the fallen space warriors will cry when they see it.

While the cat car continued to stare at the ring belt and the holy key ship, Shinra's expedition fleet finally arrived at the world of halo.

Section 309 293

As the saying goes, there is food in hand and no panic in the heart. After replacing the food in this sentence with the fleet, the same truth is also true in the interstellar era.

When the cat car had Shinra's expedition fleet in its hands, the first thing the cat car did was to call the fleet and hit the holy key ship that had been infected by the flood with a wild hammer.

Facts have proved that although the hard light technology used by the ring belt and the holy key ship has a strong defensive power, this defense only delays their destruction in the face of the fleet salvo.

After Shinra's expeditionary fleet entered this galaxy, the ring occupied by the Flood once began to recharge, preparing for an extremely dangerous shooting.

But Shinra's fleet paralyzed the ring with the Star Destroyer heavy artillery before the ring was fully charged.

Since the ring belt lacks an atmosphere for the rays of the Star Destroyer heavy artillery to bounce, the bombardment of the Star Destroyer heavy artillery only burned the energy supply pipelines on the ring belt, as well as those sophisticated equipment.

And after the threat of the Flood in this ring was terminated, the cat carts that were freed up finally had the opportunity to start taking stock of the legacy of the Star Alliance they had received. By the way, they handed over a list to the Tribunal, and let the Tribunal begin to work. A new job for the particularly thoughtful guys—in a labor camp.

While counting the Forerunner relics collected by the prophets of the Star Alliance in the City of Fraternity, it also inspired Maoche and his technical masters, and at the same time, let Maoche also get the halo indexer used by the prophets to obtain the location of the Forerunner ring relics.

As a result, the location of the remaining giant remains of the forerunner was also exposed in front of the cat cart. It was like a retired man seeing a supermarket clearance, a male high school student seeing half-price potato chips, and a three-year-old seeing a candy jar.

He led the fleet over without hesitation, but even the guides left by the forerunners were all strange and different. After 6000 million years, they basically turned into fish-hunting monsters, allowing the flood to occupy the ring. bring.

Others became grumpy dudes, and the Catcar fleet was under constant attack as soon as it arrived in the system.

It wasn't until Master Chief and 343 Guilty Sparks jumped onto the belt and got rid of the guide who was squatting in the corner with a big gun like a frightened child.

Finally, the cat car led the fleet to the shield world left by the forerunners - Requiem.

The construction of this shield world has surprised even the self-proclaimed well-informed cat car. From the perspective of the probe, this celestial body is only an ordinary medium-sized planet. After the cat car entered it with the guidance signal, it discovered the interior. A shield world the size of a galaxy represents the outstanding space technology level of the forerunners.

Even Shinra and the Human Empire haven't figured out this kind of space expansion technology. According to Shinra's current space technology, it can only generate a fixed black hole.

However, the human empire before the cat car transaction was not even as good as Shinra in this respect. The space warhead of the Mechanicus can only briefly generate a miniature black hole that will evaporate in the near future. This kind of warhead is not called a black hole warhead. In principle, it is closer to the space implosion bomb.

So this kind of superficial understanding of space is like a guy who can't even paint eggs, seeing the dome of the Sistine Chapel, what else can he do besides silently shouting in his heart Woolen cloth?

It's just that when the cat car was about to land on this planet, according to the battlefield rules, when the science ship scanned the planet they were about to land on in the shield world, they found that this planet was also infected by the Flood. , Countless mechanical warriors are fighting those flood demons.

So these pioneers are unreliable!You managed to kill a dangerous thing like the Hong Mo, and you still have to keep a tail, isn't it a scam?

After hesitating for a while, Maoche chose to leave six war boss-class battleships in this ring world, and from time to time carry out orbital bombing on the Flood to support those mechanical warriors, lest those mechanical warriors lose the battle.

Then Maoche led the fleet back without hesitation. Anyway, once things got out of hand, those war boss battleships could still be used as the last resort to prevent things from getting out of control completely.

Now, apart from gradually clearing up the planets of the Star Alliance and integrating UEG forces, the first task of the cat car is to study the belts left by the pioneers.

Either find a way to throw the ring, which has become a fragile product after 6000 million years, to the mainland of the Star Sea Empire, or study the principle of firing the halo, so that even if the power is not enough, it can still be used. Shinra's tradition of insufficient quality and quantity, the lack of power is made up for by the intensive firing of multiple warships.

Therefore, the operation of the Star Alliance Liberation Army and the occupation of the remaining planets of the Star Alliance have been left to the joint command of UNSC and Shinra. The organization is still in the stage of a grassroots team, most of which belong to the original UNSC, and a few Shinra officers are also mixed in as the final approval plan and the final insurance to prevent these people from being too radical.

It's just that when the cat car died down and was not planning to make trouble for the time being, someone came to the door and started to make trouble.

The largest rebel organization in the Star Alliance, the exiles mainly composed of Kirahani, attacked a former Star Alliance industrial planet that Shinra had just occupied and restored some industrial functions, and not only looted from that planet A large number of technicians and technical equipment in the warehouse.

Obviously the disintegration of the Covenant not only made most of the planets in the Covenant a hell, but also made life difficult for the exiles who defected from the Covenant.

Although these Kirahani spaceships were independent from the Covenant, they were not infected by the Shinra infiltrators.
