Case nodded.
"Yes, reinforcements. The Reach Galaxy was destroyed, which was a fatal blow. Without the help of foreign aid, there is no way we can win this war."
"But where can we find foreign aid?"
Jaggers looked confused.
Nowadays, does the Otanius civilization have any trump cards that he doesn't know? ?
Should not be! !
I have been with Case for such a long time, and I am in contact with the troops in each galaxy.
He knew every fleet and land regiment of the Otanius civilization.
Where did the reinforcements come from?
"I have my own arrangements for this matter. Go ahead and help me call the Master Chief over."
Case had no intention of telling many people about this secret.
The Reach system is destroyed.
The story behind this matter is not that simple.
There must be traitors among the top human beings.
Case now suspected that there was an undercover agent on his side.
It's just that right now, we haven't found out who it is.
Being able to say so much to Jaggers is already a sign of extreme trust in him.
After all, the content of his transaction with the Emperor of the Galaxy Empire was too horrifying.
And this task is very important.
If something goes wrong, it is very likely that the people of Otanius will end up in an irreversible ending.
Before the reinforcements actually arrive, it would be better if the insiders of this matter are limited to a small area.
The mysterious figure who called himself the Emperor of the Galactic Empire gave him coordinates and a smooth passage through the warp.
Case guessed that the end of the channel must be the territory of the Galactic Empire.
If we can get the support of the other party, the crisis of Otanius' civilization will definitely be resolved.
This isolated island of human civilization can also establish connections with other galaxies.
The problem is, this journey is bound to not be smooth.
The subspace, where the ether storm is raging and shrouded in endless darkness, is bound to be full of dangers.
After careful consideration, only the Master Chief could take on this important task.
Jaggers saw that Case was unwilling to tell him the details.
He could only shrug and contact the Master Chief.
Jaggers walked out and the door closed again, plunging the room into darkness.
Only the light from those projections illuminated the entire room.
Case walked to the porthole next to the study with a solemn expression.
Looking out into the dark void.
At the end of the field of vision, those space stations are being driven by thrusters into designated firepower points.
Commercial cargo ships are still sailing on the waterways, maintaining commercial activities and transporting resources from various systems here.
Case sighed.
He didn't know whether he was doing right or wrong.
From simple conversations, he knew that the Galactic Empire was a human dictatorship.
This is destined that they will not carry out extermination of the people of Otanius.
It is difficult for different races to coexist.
However, due to the past rule of the Human Alliance, the languages and cultures of the same race have certain similarities and can be integrated with each other.
The only thing that worried Keyes was how the Galactic Empire would treat Otanius's people.
How will those innocent people be treated? ?
Considered a lowly laborer with no rights?
Or are you treated as a third-class citizen? ?
Case didn't understand any of this, but he had no choice.
There was a traitor among the top human beings, and the Spartan warriors' base camp was also destroyed.
What the Galactic Empire will be like is still unknown!
But Keyes had already seen clearly what the Covenant was.
They just want to exterminate humanity.
Once the Covenant wins, the humans of Otanius will be exterminated on a planned and large-scale basis.
In the end, even those unlucky ones who want to betray their race and gain profits may be sent to the incinerator.
Case was angry at the selfishness and stupidity of those people, but was helpless.
The traitors have probably formed a terrifying network of influence.
Once he acts rashly, it may cause Otanius to split.
They would have to fight a civil war while fighting the Covenant.
That would be worse.
Jaggers is fast.
Ten minutes later, the Master Chief's voice came from the communicator, requesting to enter the study.
"come in."
Case sat back down.
He reached on the desk and took out a data storage device.
He took it apart, pulled out a neural cable, and plugged it into a port in the back of his head.
At the same time, I took a data board, debugged it, and started operating on it.
He wants to extract relevant memory information.
It is converted into a digital signal and stored.
The explosion-proof door of the study room slid briskly towards both sides.
John walked in wearing armor and a helmet.
"General, look for me."
"Yes."
Case put the data pad aside and looked at the only person he could trust now.
"The Reach Galaxy was destroyed, and the war mobilization order encountered many obstacles. After looking at a few things, there should be a traitor among the high-level officials. They regarded the information from the Reach Galaxy as a pledge of surrender. This is our biggest disaster."
"Who is it?" John clenched his fists and asked hurriedly.
As a Spartan warrior, he grew up in the Reach system.
Complete training there, complete physical strengthening, and get your first set of Thor's Hammer armor.
There are his memories and his friends there.
But now, it's all gone.
Completely destroyed by the Covenant.
The human army in the Reach Galaxy resisted until the last moment.
Most of the soldiers and Spartans died in the battle.
Only a small number of people escaped.
"I do not know."
Look at the 100% progress prompt on the data board.
Case reached out and pulled out the data cable connected to the interface on the back of his head.
"I will investigate this matter." John said firmly, "I will avenge those people until the murderer behind the scenes pays the price."
"I didn't come to you to talk about this."
Keith rubbed his swollen brows to relieve his fatigue.
Reading memories is no easy task.
It is an extremely painful thing for the parties involved.
Case didn't like doing this.
Each time it made him feel as if his brain had been thrown into a blender and it hurt like hell.
"Is there anything more important than avenging those innocent dead? We must catch the murderers and eliminate the cancer before we can unite our forces to fight against the Covenant."
"But we don't have that much time, John. The Covenant has destroyed the Fertile System and the Reach System, so where will their next target be? And how long can we stop them!! We don't know the scale of the traitor at the moment, We don’t know how much information they have sold and how many troops they control. Once a conflict breaks out, it will definitely accelerate their speed and cause Otanius to split directly. The most important thing now is to find a way to defeat the Star Alliance first and wait until the Star Alliance collapses , we can free our hands to deal with those traitors."
"What do you want me to do?"
Case took out the storage crystal from the memory retrieval device and handed it to John.
"I want you to find reinforcements. The coordinates are recorded in it. There is also the truth about this mission in the storage crystal, but you can only see this information after entering the subspace. The destruction of the Zhiyuan Galaxy made me keep a close eye on everyone. Suspicion, the leakage of the truth will most likely lead to accidents."
"Reinforcement?"
John's tone was full of surprise as he took the storage crystal.
If it weren't for the helmet, Case would have seen the same look on his face as Jaggers.
"Yes, reinforcements. There are coordinates in there," Case said. "You are the only one who can make it through the storm-torn darkness now, Master Chief."
"You mean to cross the border and head into the dark, storm-ravaged lands."
"Yes." Case nodded, "We have no choice, either you bring back reinforcements and save Otanius, or we are all killed by the Covenant."
"Are there really any reinforcements?" John asked, looking at the crystal in his hand. "According to records, after the Evernight Crisis broke out, we never had any contact with human civilization outside the border. Even those who crossed the border The ships were all gone, never to return, and were never heard from again.”
"Yes. The eternal night crisis sweeping the entire galaxy is certainly terrifying, but there will still be many lucky galaxies that will escape the disaster."
"But will they help us?"
John's question reminded Keith of the mysterious figure.
"Yes. Go, John, this is our last chance. In order to ensure the success rate of this journey, I have selected the ship in the best running condition for you, the Autumn Wind. Don't look at it as a ship. It is a light cruiser-class battleship, but its cost is more expensive than the two heavy cruiser-class battleships. It is fast, has strong firepower, and is also equipped with a high-level AI left over from the Human Alliance period."
"When should I leave?" John asked.
"The best time is now. I'm worried that our conversation has been known to others. They may interfere or even inform the enemy of your location."
"I understand, I'll leave immediately."
"John."
John turned around and was about to leave. As soon as he reached the door, he heard Keith calling his name.
He stopped, turned to look at Case, and asked.
"Is there anything else?"
"Come back alive, and bring back the reinforcements by the way. I hope to meet you again, right here, and hear you say that the mission is completed."
Keith's words brought a rare smile to John's face under his helmet.
Spartans were implanted with emotion suppressors.
Usually, they are expressionless.
"Don't worry, we will meet again here."
John left these words and walked out of the study.
The automatic sensor door closed again after John walked out, blocking out the noise and light.
Case sat back in his seat and smiled.
Hope everything goes well.
I hope that mysterious figure didn't deceive him.
Otherwise, Otanius will really be over.
Case sat blankly for a moment, then forced himself to brace himself, check the status of the galaxy's defense and fleet, and at the same time find a way to investigate who was the traitor.
No matter what situation he encounters, he must cheer up and lead the loyal soldiers to resist until the last moment and shed the last drop of blood.
Humanity will never compromise with the dark universe.
Humanity will triumph.
John walked out of Case's study and saw Jaggers standing not far away.
Seeing the Master Chief coming out, Jaggers walked over directly.
"Finished talking?"
John nodded, "Yes."
"What did I say, did I tell you to find reinforcements? Where to find them?" Jaggers showed an itchy expression. He was very curious about the content of the conversation between the two. "Does Otanius have something to hide now?" Weren’t the troops dispatched? Or were they mobilized from somewhere else?”
In normal times, John would most likely talk to Jaggers about this matter.
"There are traitors in the top ranks of humanity."
Keith's words rang in John's mind, making him feel wary.
In this mission, he cannot leak secrets at will.
"You have to ask General Keyes about this. There's something else going on here, so I'll leave first."
John stepped away.
He had to gather the team and set off immediately.
Jaggers stood where he was and did not pursue him.
Looking at the Master Chief's leaving figure, his eyes slowly became solemn.
He looked around and walked towards a secret place.
Opened a communication device implanted in his skull.
The conversation just recorded and the monitored content were sent.
"Humanity must be exterminated."
After doing all this, Jaggers said silently in his heart.
Human sin has reached intolerable proportions.
Why can so many races in the galaxy coexist harmoniously and establish an alliance of stars? ?
Only humans are ostracized and hated! !
Shouldn't humans reflect?
Shouldn’t we repent for our past sins?
Why are you still struggling like this! !
He has to look for stronger reinforcements and want to commit more horrific crimes.
John didn't know all this.
He summoned the group of Spartans he was most familiar with.
Two hours later, these Spartans gathered together, took all the necessary equipment, and boarded the Autumn Wind.
Fifteen minutes later, the Qiu Feng sailed out of the interstellar shipyard after completing the identity verification.
Seven hours later, after the Autumn Wind arrived in the outer galaxy, it was far away from all human structures.
John then took out the crystal and placed it on the reading table.
"Cortana, read the data of this storage crystal and transmit the relevant channel information to the navigator."
Following John's voice, a female projection appeared on the bridge.
It is the high-level artificial intelligence AI-Cortana left over from the Human Alliance era.
After experiencing the omnic war, she was still able to stay in the human camp, which is enough to show Cortana's loyalty to humans.
With the help of the navigator and artificial intelligence, the safety of Qiufeng's navigation in subspace will be greatly improved.
【Reading】
As the reading platform was activated, the crystal levitated, bathed in light.
A brilliant star map was displayed through projection.
Star maps of subspace currents and channel nodes are marked on it.
A channel was specially marked, pointing to a mysterious galaxy.
[The destination has been determined, should we set sail for it?]
"Yes." John said.
[The Geller force field has been activated, the conventional propulsion engine has been switched to the subspace engine, and we are entering the subspace. Please fix your body. 】
A tremor came, and a subspace entrance appeared in front of the Autumn Wind.
The Autumn Wind flew into the subspace.
[There is a message in the crystal, do you need to play it?]
Cortana's projection walked over to John.
"Play it, it should be left by General Keyes."
The projection changed again.
A sound ripple display appears.
General Keyes's voice came over the loudspeaker.
"I don't know how to explain this to you, John. This is a very risky mission. A human dictator from another civilization contacted me and promised that I would be free if I agreed to dedicate Otanius to him. They will give us reinforcements and technical support. I know that whether this is true or not, it will have serious consequences, but we have no choice. John, there are traitors among the top human beings, and they are thinking about how to destroy humanity. After being wiped out, they already hate humans to the core and will not hesitate to help the enemy wipe out their own race."
"It is our duty to protect human beings. It is our mission as soldiers and our oath to create an environment in which those children can grow up smoothly and allow those babies who have not yet come to this world to be born smoothly."
"Good luck to you, John, in bringing reinforcements back. Only in this way can humanity have hope and Otanius possibly survive the destruction brought by enemies and traitors."
Case's words were played.
"How did General Keyes establish contact with other civilizations?"
Spartan-Kelly asked in confusion.
She was not wearing a helmet.
Unlike the Master Chief, ordinary Spartans do not need to wear helmets and armor at all times.
Kelly's appearance is quite attractive.
If you put aside the scars on her face caused by the battle, she can be regarded as a beauty.
"I don't know, he didn't tell me," John said. "Only when we reach the end of the channel will it be possible to know the truth of all this."
"You mean that we have to cross the border area and enter the dark realm. It seems that this is a life-threatening mission."
Another Spartan warrior with a centipede-shaped scar on his face, Jerome, intervened in the chat between the two.
That scar was left in a battle.
The Jiralhanae almost split his face in half.
"In terms of routes, yes." John reached out to operate the projection interface and enlarged the route information display so that everyone could clearly see the subspace tides and storms marked on it, as well as the route connecting the two points.
"What's the end of the channel?"
"The hope of saving Otanius may be nothing." After John said this, he gave Cortana a new order, "Transmit this information to the navigator, and we will go to the end of the channel. "
[Star map data is being transmitted via neural data cables. 】
[Star map data transmission completed. 】
John walked to his seat.
Hope Case's crazy plan works.
There are real reinforcements at the end of the channel.
In that case, the current disadvantage can be reversed.
John knew the dangers of this mission.
But Spartans were born to protect humanity.
Even if he had to die, he would not hesitate at all.
No matter what terrible crises he encounters on the way, he will reach the end of the channel and complete this mission.
With the war between the Covenant and humanity coming.
More and more civilians and troops are flocking to the Otanius system.
Some important space fortresses were also towed by large ships and sent to Otanius using subspace.
The galaxy defense system is being established and tested in an orderly manner.
Most people are preparing for humanity to fight against the Covenant.
Many people took to the streets, shouting that they would fight until the end.
This is Otanius' darkest hour.
Humanity is facing the crisis of genocide.
"For our children, brave men and women took up arms and resisted until the end."
"Down with the Covenant and resist until the end." Even children joined the march.
Once Otanius falls, what awaits them will be the most terrible fate in the universe.
The enemy will not stop killing and destroying because of children and women.
At this most critical moment, many people took action.
They called on the government to promote and implement the war mobilization order as soon as possible.
Resisting the Star Alliance is the most important thing.
However, on the surface of the planet Otan, the main star of the Otanius galaxy, the most prosperous capital city of Otanius, there are a group of people thinking about how to cause humankind to suffer a disastrous defeat, or even lead to extinction.
In the secret stronghold provided by the Evans family.
Organizations led by several political families to resist human tyranny are holding secret gatherings.
They plotted how to exploit the failure of Otanius' civilization to achieve their own goals.
These people have different minds.
Some want to seek more benefits for themselves and future generations.
Some are thinking about how to promote plans to punish humans.
The standard of the party was very high, and representatives of these families also included a group of elites from all walks of life.
It's all in finance, politics, and business.
They are all leaders or heavyweights in a certain field.
After the first war between humans and the Covenant, many people were thinking about why the Covenant was able to allow so many races to coexist harmoniously.
Humanity, on the other hand, was excluded from the Covenant.
When I learned that humans had expelled those races and forced those races to flee their homeland.
These high-end people began to think about issues from the perspective of the overall situation of the galaxy.
Reflecting on whether the ancestors in the past were too cruel, which led to such a result.
Only then would the descendants like them fall into the hatred and fighting of retribution.
After that, they considered themselves peaceful people.
Running around, trying his best to achieve reconciliation between the Covenant and humanity.
Various suggestions were also made, such as halting the Spartan program to avoid deepening the hatred between humans and the Covenant.
Promote a weapons-free society, let mankind give up the development of offensive weapons, and express its peaceful wishes to the Covenant.
However, normal people always make up the majority.
Naturally, no one will agree with this kind of behavior of depriving oneself of martial arts and turning oneself into fish meat on the chopping board.
Long hours of hard work, but no results.
They began to hate human cruelty and ignorance.
Angry at those compatriots who do not know how to repent of the sins of their ancestors.
"Humans are the most evil race in the galaxy. Human civilization has committed heinous crimes against countless races in the galaxy. Instead of reflecting on it, people in later generations have tried their best to use violence and war against the victims of the past."
"All the suffering that human beings suffer is deserved."
A person who joined an organization to resist human tyranny said these words in despair.
These words, which once became the motto of the organization, have become their slogan.
The members of the party have been tested many times.
Absolutely trustworthy.
Not long after the party started, the representative of the Evans family, Mike, announced good news to the members of the anti-human organization at the party.
"We have made contact with the Star Alliance and reached a preliminary consensus."
Mike's words made these people smile, and they all stood up and applauded.
The long hard work finally paid off.
This encouraged them.
Being able to communicate is the beginning of building peace.
As long as they persist in their efforts, humans will one day be able to join the Star Alliance.
All races will join hands and sing together to sing the praises of a galaxy where there is no war and all races can coexist harmoniously.
Mike stretched out his hand and pressed it, signaling everyone to quiet down, before continuing to say the following words.
"We have already made preliminary arrangements for this meeting to allow some human beings who are kind-hearted and long for multi-racial coexistence to survive. The other human beings will be eliminated because they are too evil."
"I think this ending is good." Ye Wen, the representative of the Ye family, said, "The war of the Star Alliance is also an excellent purification opportunity to purify those evil and cruel humans and physically erase their genes. So that the peace-loving and beautiful genes can remain.”
"Long live the Covenant." A man shouted enthusiastically, "They will bring us true beauty."
"The Covenant is the future of the galaxy."
"Let those bad guys die. As long as the prophets of the Covenant see that we are firmly on the side of justice, they will definitely be moved by our integrity and kindness."
Mike was very satisfied with the performance of the party members.
"But organizations that resist human tyranny still need to continue working hard to promote more exchanges and build a galaxy of harmonious coexistence."
"Humanity needs to be disarmed as quickly as possible."
"This is really important, to let the Covenant see our determination for peace."
While their discussion was in full swing.
A sudden communication made Mike's face look solemn.
After listening to the other party's call, Mike turned to the members of this private gathering.
"The latest news is that Case seems to have established contact with other human civilizations. The Master Chief has been ordered to set off to find reinforcements."
"Reinforcement?"
"Other human civilizations?"
Mike's words suddenly caused the originally harmonious gathering to explode.
"What exactly is going on?" Ye Wen asked, "Is this news reliable?"
Mike nodded, "It's reliable. It was given by a member of our organization. He is also a member of the organization that resists human evil and holds a high position in the military."
"Damn it, these guys." A man stood up and said viciously, "Why are they still unwilling to give up and accept their fate? They are so vicious and should have been punished long ago and died as soon as possible."
"We must not let them succeed."
"Yes, we must find a way to stop it."
Mike looked at the angry crowd and smiled.
"Someone has placed a subspace locator on the Autumn Wind. They cannot escape from our hands. I have sent people to send messages to the Star Alliance. The killer will be dispatched soon, and it is very likely that Follow the clues and get the coordinates of another civilization. At that time, the Covenant army will even bulldoze the other civilization, kill all the evil-minded beasts, and create a harmonious and beautiful new galaxy."
"Okay, that's what you should do."
"Kill, kill, kill all those guys and create a beautiful galaxy."
Traveling through subspace storms is never an easy task.
Especially since the subspace is still in a dark state.
The navigator's third eye also cannot see through the darkness and can only see the tide near the ship.
Once you cross the border, the risks start to increase.
Something in the warp struck their Geller field, causing the entire ship to shake.
The sea of souls roared and rolled.
Waves of destruction hit the Autumn Wind.
Under the terrifying tide, there are a large number of hungry nightmare entities and strange creatures hidden.
Sometimes, those evil things will struggle to get past the Geller Field.
Enter the cabin.
The Spartan team will shoot at each other with various weapons.
Destroy the opponent's body and expel it to subspace again.
Navigators are also under tremendous pressure.
The Autumn Wind is equipped with five navigators.
They took turns guiding the ship.
But even so, the act of traveling through the subspace storm still caused them heavy damage that was difficult to reverse.
At one point, a navigator let out a piercing scream.
He was drooling and screaming, his eyes were scarlet, and there was something crawling under his skin.
They had to jump out of the subspace, return to the real universe, and then perform an exorcism on it.
The soldiers and staff aboard the Autumn Wind have been in a state of nervousness for a long time.
The omnipresent sense of oppression made it difficult for them to breathe.
Some people go crazy within a few days of the journey.
John had to execute them.
This journey can be regarded as one of his most thrilling missions.
Whether it is reality or subspace, it is an absolutely dangerous place.
There are things that are just as evil where the light of stars cannot reach them.
But no one in the team said they were quitting.
They are all firm.
Believe in the Master Chief and believe that your sacrifice will be rewarded.
After experiencing another risk, they made a terminal jump and left the subspace.
Came to a relatively safe place in the real universe.
There are no planets that have fallen into darkness nearby, nor are there wandering void beasts and minions of darkness.
There is no open subspace rift.
A place like this can truly be considered a safe house during this journey.
The last time they came out of the subspace, they encountered a dark planet floating in the vast void, which was full of unspeakable monsters.
The three-headed bird driving a chariot of thorns, the rotten black pterosaur, the behemoth of the void covered with abscesses, and so on.
No one knows how many terrible evil things are hidden in the dark void! !
Even during the Human Alliance, the void realm between star systems was rarely explored.
Those places are too vast, don't have many resources and are too cold.
Even if a bird doesn't poop, it's a compliment.
There are no birds or shit in those ghost places.
Exploring is just a waste of time.
After the Evernight Crisis appeared, those vast voids were occupied by some ominous things.
"Let's rest first."
John said to the nervous team members. "It will take at most two days to complete the journey, so there's no need to be in such a hurry."
As soon as he finished speaking, the psychic detector rang.
The alarm instantly sounded throughout the Qiu Feng.
"There are subspace fluctuations and ships." The officer in charge of the Autumn Wind's detection array shouted.
"The shield is charged, allocate part of the energy to the main gun, and open the baffle."
John's face turned ugly.
The unique nature of the warp makes it extremely unlikely that two unrelated starships will appear in the same place.
The only explanation is that the other party is following them.
There are traitors at the top.
Case's words echoed in his mind again.
The dark void was illuminated by a strange witch light.
Those light whiskers wrap around the insect shell-shaped battleship like tentacles.
"It's a Covenant ship." An officer shouted in a horrified tone, "A small annihilation fleet. They are coming for us. They also sent us a message."
John looked ugly.
"Play it out."
"Surrender immediately, you are surrounded. Don't have any thoughts of resistance, we will ensure that you can survive."
"Damn it." Kelly slammed the metal table in front of her, and the tabletop was dented with such force, "Master Chief, order an assault. Even if we die, we will bite off a piece of the Covenant's flesh." .”
As soon as he finished speaking, the other side opened fire.
Several light spears directly hit the Qiufeng's newly activated shield, paralyzing it.
One of the luminous spears also penetrated the side of the ship.
Fortunately, there were no ammunition or energy piles there. It just penetrated the hull of the ship and killed a dozen crew members.
Then the lock detector also sounded an alarm.
The enemy launched a teleportation strike against them.
With a flash of light, a powerful elite Jiralhanae force appeared in the Autumn Wind, slaughtering the human crew and soldiers.
"Fight them off."
John shouted.
Many Spartan warriors raised their weapons and rushed towards the enemies.
Those teleported over were all elite Jiralhanae beasts.
It is much taller than ordinary Jiralhanae, reaching a height of more than four meters, and its strength and speed have been greatly enhanced.
The Spartan warriors who once crushed the warriors of many races in the Covenant were at a disadvantage when facing these Jiralhanae beasts.
John is doing pretty well.
With rich combat experience, he used the oscillating weapons that popped out of his arms to kill several elite Jiralhanae.
However, things were dire for the other Spartans.
After Kurt killed an elite Jiralhanae, his head was chopped off by a captain-level Jiralhanae.
Even Thor's hammer power armor can't defend against weapons covered with force fields.
Kurt's head flew out.
The headless body fell in front of John.
Blood spurted out, staining the floor red in a moment.
Sam was also pierced through the heart by the elite Jiralhanae's weapon and was nailed to the ground.
Kelly was knocked away and hit the wall. She was vomiting blood and fell into a state of serious injury and near death.
Ordinary crew members were also massacred.
The screams were endless, full of despair and pain.
Soon, only John was left standing.
Many Jiralhanae beasts surrounded it.
"Hand over the coordinates and you can live." A captain-level Jiralhanae walked up to John and stretched out a hand.
"no way."
John shook off the blood from his wrist blade and made a fighting stance.
There was a trace of guilt in his heart.
After all, he failed to fulfill his oath and failed to complete the task assigned by Case.
"Then go."
Before the captain-level Jiralhanae finished speaking, he was interrupted by an explosion in the air.
The entire space is dyed silvery white.
Lightning formed by ether roared in the huge corridor.
Six warriors wearing golden armor, whose faces could not be seen, and looked like gods, walked out of the light.
They were silent, without any harsh words.
Before the teleportation ended, their killing had already begun.
Each one is like a demon god, possessing speed and power that ordinary people cannot imagine.
The halberd was so sharp that the elite Jiralhanae was as if it were made of paper and was easily pierced.
Then he was picked up, thrown away, hit the wall, and turned into a puddle of mud.
The whole speed is so fast that it is difficult for the eyes to catch.
John subconsciously blinked due to the transmitted light, and twelve elite Jiralhanae beasts were already hacked to death. Blood with a strange smell flowed all over the ground, and the remains and broken arms were everywhere.
Several captain-level elite Jiralhanae roared, and they gave up on John.
He rushed towards the golden armored warriors.
But they are like moths to a flame, just wasting their lives.
The six golden-armored warriors cooperated flawlessly.
The enemy can be crushed in an instant.
John stared dumbfounded at the massacre that took place in front of his eyes.
Even with the assistance of a helmet, there is no way to see the killing process clearly.
When he came back to his senses and wanted to do something.
The Covenant warriors teleported to the Autumn Wind had been slaughtered.
All that was left was blood and stumps all over the ground.
The six golden-armored warriors began to clean up the battlefield and eliminate all the remaining enemies.
An elite Jiralhanae beast had its chest cut open, but it was still alive and well. When he looked at the golden-armored warriors, there was fear in his eyes.
Who are these guys?
Where did it come from? ?
No one gave him an answer.
The last thing the Jiralhanae saw was the boots of a golden-armored warrior.
The other party stepped on his head and exploded it alive.
After executing all the enemies, a golden-armored warrior walked up to John and took off his helmet, revealing a face that was as perfect as art, as if carved from marble.
"I am Hannibal, one of the Praetorians of the Holy Emperor, the supreme ruler of the Galactic Empire. Are you an envoy from Otanius, the lost human civilization?"
John stared blankly at this warrior who looked like a demon.
The other party's voice was so majestic, and there was eternal wisdom hidden in those eyes.
They easily slaughtered the elite Jiralhanae.
The time required is only a few minutes.
It's so easy and simple that it makes people wonder if those Covenant warriors are inflatable.
They are so powerful, so perfect.
Such a figure should be a perfect example of a noble ruler.
But he was just one of the imperial guards.
What kind of person is that so-called holy emperor?
Can these demon-like warriors swear allegiance to him?
Is he a god?
"Are you an envoy from the lost human civilization Otanius?" Hannibal asked again.
"Yes." John nodded subconsciously.
"I came to pick you up on the orders of the Holy Emperor. He said that you might be in danger. Now, you are safe. After treating the wounded, I will take you directly back to the empire."
After Hannibal said to John, he opened another communication channel, "We need a medical rescue team here."
John seemed to remember something, and he looked towards the observation ship.
It was discovered that the Covenant ships outside had turned into wreckage and were burning in the void.
Several large human ships with fire emblems were swimming near the wreckage.
The Covenant fleet chasing them was destroyed.
It's so fast it doesn't feel real.
"I'm here to ask for help." John realized the power of the Galactic Empire and hurriedly stated the purpose of his trip.
"We already know your purpose of coming," Hannibal said.
"What do you mean?" John asked.
If you see typos, correct them directly. Thank you for your support.
(End of this chapter)
Case nodded.
"Yes, reinforcements. The Reach Galaxy was destroyed, which was a fatal blow. Without the help of foreign aid, there is no way we can win this war."
"But where can we find foreign aid?"
Jaggers looked confused.
Nowadays, does the Otanius civilization have any trump cards that he doesn't know? ?
Should not be! !
I have been with Case for such a long time, and I am in contact with the troops in each galaxy.
He knew every fleet and land regiment of the Otanius civilization.
Where did the reinforcements come from?
"I have my own arrangements for this matter. Go ahead and help me call the Master Chief over."
Case had no intention of telling many people about this secret.
The Reach system is destroyed.
The story behind this matter is not that simple.
There must be traitors among the top human beings.
Case now suspected that there was an undercover agent on his side.
It's just that right now, we haven't found out who it is.
Being able to say so much to Jaggers is already a sign of extreme trust in him.
After all, the content of his transaction with the Emperor of the Galaxy Empire was too horrifying.
And this task is very important.
If something goes wrong, it is very likely that the people of Otanius will end up in an irreversible ending.
Before the reinforcements actually arrive, it would be better if the insiders of this matter are limited to a small area.
The mysterious figure who called himself the Emperor of the Galactic Empire gave him coordinates and a smooth passage through the warp.
Case guessed that the end of the channel must be the territory of the Galactic Empire.
If we can get the support of the other party, the crisis of Otanius' civilization will definitely be resolved.
This isolated island of human civilization can also establish connections with other galaxies.
The problem is, this journey is bound to not be smooth.
The subspace, where the ether storm is raging and shrouded in endless darkness, is bound to be full of dangers.
After careful consideration, only the Master Chief could take on this important task.
Jaggers saw that Case was unwilling to tell him the details.
He could only shrug and contact the Master Chief.
Jaggers walked out and the door closed again, plunging the room into darkness.
Only the light from those projections illuminated the entire room.
Case walked to the porthole next to the study with a solemn expression.
Looking out into the dark void.
At the end of the field of vision, those space stations are being driven by thrusters into designated firepower points.
Commercial cargo ships are still sailing on the waterways, maintaining commercial activities and transporting resources from various systems here.
Case sighed.
He didn't know whether he was doing right or wrong.
From simple conversations, he knew that the Galactic Empire was a human dictatorship.
This is destined that they will not carry out extermination of the people of Otanius.
It is difficult for different races to coexist.
However, due to the past rule of the Human Alliance, the languages and cultures of the same race have certain similarities and can be integrated with each other.
The only thing that worried Keyes was how the Galactic Empire would treat Otanius's people.
How will those innocent people be treated? ?
Considered a lowly laborer with no rights?
Or are you treated as a third-class citizen? ?
Case didn't understand any of this, but he had no choice.
There was a traitor among the top human beings, and the Spartan warriors' base camp was also destroyed.
What the Galactic Empire will be like is still unknown!
But Keyes had already seen clearly what the Covenant was.
They just want to exterminate humanity.
Once the Covenant wins, the humans of Otanius will be exterminated on a planned and large-scale basis.
In the end, even those unlucky ones who want to betray their race and gain profits may be sent to the incinerator.
Case was angry at the selfishness and stupidity of those people, but was helpless.
The traitors have probably formed a terrifying network of influence.
Once he acts rashly, it may cause Otanius to split.
They would have to fight a civil war while fighting the Covenant.
That would be worse.
Jaggers is fast.
Ten minutes later, the Master Chief's voice came from the communicator, requesting to enter the study.
"come in."
Case sat back down.
He reached on the desk and took out a data storage device.
He took it apart, pulled out a neural cable, and plugged it into a port in the back of his head.
At the same time, I took a data board, debugged it, and started operating on it.
He wants to extract relevant memory information.
It is converted into a digital signal and stored.
The explosion-proof door of the study room slid briskly towards both sides.
John walked in wearing armor and a helmet.
"General, look for me."
"Yes."
Case put the data pad aside and looked at the only person he could trust now.
"The Reach Galaxy was destroyed, and the war mobilization order encountered many obstacles. After looking at a few things, there should be a traitor among the high-level officials. They regarded the information from the Reach Galaxy as a pledge of surrender. This is our biggest disaster."
"Who is it?" John clenched his fists and asked hurriedly.
As a Spartan warrior, he grew up in the Reach system.
Complete training there, complete physical strengthening, and get your first set of Thor's Hammer armor.
There are his memories and his friends there.
But now, it's all gone.
Completely destroyed by the Covenant.
The human army in the Reach Galaxy resisted until the last moment.
Most of the soldiers and Spartans died in the battle.
Only a small number of people escaped.
"I do not know."
Look at the 100% progress prompt on the data board.
Case reached out and pulled out the data cable connected to the interface on the back of his head.
"I will investigate this matter." John said firmly, "I will avenge those people until the murderer behind the scenes pays the price."
"I didn't come to you to talk about this."
Keith rubbed his swollen brows to relieve his fatigue.
Reading memories is no easy task.
It is an extremely painful thing for the parties involved.
Case didn't like doing this.
Each time it made him feel as if his brain had been thrown into a blender and it hurt like hell.
"Is there anything more important than avenging those innocent dead? We must catch the murderers and eliminate the cancer before we can unite our forces to fight against the Covenant."
"But we don't have that much time, John. The Covenant has destroyed the Fertile System and the Reach System, so where will their next target be? And how long can we stop them!! We don't know the scale of the traitor at the moment, We don’t know how much information they have sold and how many troops they control. Once a conflict breaks out, it will definitely accelerate their speed and cause Otanius to split directly. The most important thing now is to find a way to defeat the Star Alliance first and wait until the Star Alliance collapses , we can free our hands to deal with those traitors."
"What do you want me to do?"
Case took out the storage crystal from the memory retrieval device and handed it to John.
"I want you to find reinforcements. The coordinates are recorded in it. There is also the truth about this mission in the storage crystal, but you can only see this information after entering the subspace. The destruction of the Zhiyuan Galaxy made me keep a close eye on everyone. Suspicion, the leakage of the truth will most likely lead to accidents."
"Reinforcement?"
John's tone was full of surprise as he took the storage crystal.
If it weren't for the helmet, Case would have seen the same look on his face as Jaggers.
"Yes, reinforcements. There are coordinates in there," Case said. "You are the only one who can make it through the storm-torn darkness now, Master Chief."
"You mean to cross the border and head into the dark, storm-ravaged lands."
"Yes." Case nodded, "We have no choice, either you bring back reinforcements and save Otanius, or we are all killed by the Covenant."
"Are there really any reinforcements?" John asked, looking at the crystal in his hand. "According to records, after the Evernight Crisis broke out, we never had any contact with human civilization outside the border. Even those who crossed the border The ships were all gone, never to return, and were never heard from again.”
"Yes. The eternal night crisis sweeping the entire galaxy is certainly terrifying, but there will still be many lucky galaxies that will escape the disaster."
"But will they help us?"
John's question reminded Keith of the mysterious figure.
"Yes. Go, John, this is our last chance. In order to ensure the success rate of this journey, I have selected the ship in the best running condition for you, the Autumn Wind. Don't look at it as a ship. It is a light cruiser-class battleship, but its cost is more expensive than the two heavy cruiser-class battleships. It is fast, has strong firepower, and is also equipped with a high-level AI left over from the Human Alliance period."
"When should I leave?" John asked.
"The best time is now. I'm worried that our conversation has been known to others. They may interfere or even inform the enemy of your location."
"I understand, I'll leave immediately."
"John."
John turned around and was about to leave. As soon as he reached the door, he heard Keith calling his name.
He stopped, turned to look at Case, and asked.
"Is there anything else?"
"Come back alive, and bring back the reinforcements by the way. I hope to meet you again, right here, and hear you say that the mission is completed."
Keith's words brought a rare smile to John's face under his helmet.
Spartans were implanted with emotion suppressors.
Usually, they are expressionless.
"Don't worry, we will meet again here."
John left these words and walked out of the study.
The automatic sensor door closed again after John walked out, blocking out the noise and light.
Case sat back in his seat and smiled.
Hope everything goes well.
I hope that mysterious figure didn't deceive him.
Otherwise, Otanius will really be over.
Case sat blankly for a moment, then forced himself to brace himself, check the status of the galaxy's defense and fleet, and at the same time find a way to investigate who was the traitor.
No matter what situation he encounters, he must cheer up and lead the loyal soldiers to resist until the last moment and shed the last drop of blood.
Humanity will never compromise with the dark universe.
Humanity will triumph.
John walked out of Case's study and saw Jaggers standing not far away.
Seeing the Master Chief coming out, Jaggers walked over directly.
"Finished talking?"
John nodded, "Yes."
"What did I say, did I tell you to find reinforcements? Where to find them?" Jaggers showed an itchy expression. He was very curious about the content of the conversation between the two. "Does Otanius have something to hide now?" Weren’t the troops dispatched? Or were they mobilized from somewhere else?”
In normal times, John would most likely talk to Jaggers about this matter.
"There are traitors in the top ranks of humanity."
Keith's words rang in John's mind, making him feel wary.
In this mission, he cannot leak secrets at will.
"You have to ask General Keyes about this. There's something else going on here, so I'll leave first."
John stepped away.
He had to gather the team and set off immediately.
Jaggers stood where he was and did not pursue him.
Looking at the Master Chief's leaving figure, his eyes slowly became solemn.
He looked around and walked towards a secret place.
Opened a communication device implanted in his skull.
The conversation just recorded and the monitored content were sent.
"Humanity must be exterminated."
After doing all this, Jaggers said silently in his heart.
Human sin has reached intolerable proportions.
Why can so many races in the galaxy coexist harmoniously and establish an alliance of stars? ?
Only humans are ostracized and hated! !
Shouldn't humans reflect?
Shouldn’t we repent for our past sins?
Why are you still struggling like this! !
He has to look for stronger reinforcements and want to commit more horrific crimes.
John didn't know all this.
He summoned the group of Spartans he was most familiar with.
Two hours later, these Spartans gathered together, took all the necessary equipment, and boarded the Autumn Wind.
Fifteen minutes later, the Qiu Feng sailed out of the interstellar shipyard after completing the identity verification.
Seven hours later, after the Autumn Wind arrived in the outer galaxy, it was far away from all human structures.
John then took out the crystal and placed it on the reading table.
"Cortana, read the data of this storage crystal and transmit the relevant channel information to the navigator."
Following John's voice, a female projection appeared on the bridge.
It is the high-level artificial intelligence AI-Cortana left over from the Human Alliance era.
After experiencing the omnic war, she was still able to stay in the human camp, which is enough to show Cortana's loyalty to humans.
With the help of the navigator and artificial intelligence, the safety of Qiufeng's navigation in subspace will be greatly improved.
【Reading】
As the reading platform was activated, the crystal levitated, bathed in light.
A brilliant star map was displayed through projection.
Star maps of subspace currents and channel nodes are marked on it.
A channel was specially marked, pointing to a mysterious galaxy.
[The destination has been determined, should we set sail for it?]
"Yes." John said.
[The Geller force field has been activated, the conventional propulsion engine has been switched to the subspace engine, and we are entering the subspace. Please fix your body. 】
A tremor came, and a subspace entrance appeared in front of the Autumn Wind.
The Autumn Wind flew into the subspace.
[There is a message in the crystal, do you need to play it?]
Cortana's projection walked over to John.
"Play it, it should be left by General Keyes."
The projection changed again.
A sound ripple display appears.
General Keyes's voice came over the loudspeaker.
"I don't know how to explain this to you, John. This is a very risky mission. A human dictator from another civilization contacted me and promised that I would be free if I agreed to dedicate Otanius to him. They will give us reinforcements and technical support. I know that whether this is true or not, it will have serious consequences, but we have no choice. John, there are traitors among the top human beings, and they are thinking about how to destroy humanity. After being wiped out, they already hate humans to the core and will not hesitate to help the enemy wipe out their own race."
"It is our duty to protect human beings. It is our mission as soldiers and our oath to create an environment in which those children can grow up smoothly and allow those babies who have not yet come to this world to be born smoothly."
"Good luck to you, John, in bringing reinforcements back. Only in this way can humanity have hope and Otanius possibly survive the destruction brought by enemies and traitors."
Case's words were played.
"How did General Keyes establish contact with other civilizations?"
Spartan-Kelly asked in confusion.
She was not wearing a helmet.
Unlike the Master Chief, ordinary Spartans do not need to wear helmets and armor at all times.
Kelly's appearance is quite attractive.
If you put aside the scars on her face caused by the battle, she can be regarded as a beauty.
"I don't know, he didn't tell me," John said. "Only when we reach the end of the channel will it be possible to know the truth of all this."
"You mean that we have to cross the border area and enter the dark realm. It seems that this is a life-threatening mission."
Another Spartan warrior with a centipede-shaped scar on his face, Jerome, intervened in the chat between the two.
That scar was left in a battle.
The Jiralhanae almost split his face in half.
"In terms of routes, yes." John reached out to operate the projection interface and enlarged the route information display so that everyone could clearly see the subspace tides and storms marked on it, as well as the route connecting the two points.
"What's the end of the channel?"
"The hope of saving Otanius may be nothing." After John said this, he gave Cortana a new order, "Transmit this information to the navigator, and we will go to the end of the channel. "
[Star map data is being transmitted via neural data cables. 】
[Star map data transmission completed. 】
John walked to his seat.
Hope Case's crazy plan works.
There are real reinforcements at the end of the channel.
In that case, the current disadvantage can be reversed.
John knew the dangers of this mission.
But Spartans were born to protect humanity.
Even if he had to die, he would not hesitate at all.
No matter what terrible crises he encounters on the way, he will reach the end of the channel and complete this mission.
With the war between the Covenant and humanity coming.
More and more civilians and troops are flocking to the Otanius system.
Some important space fortresses were also towed by large ships and sent to Otanius using subspace.
The galaxy defense system is being established and tested in an orderly manner.
Most people are preparing for humanity to fight against the Covenant.
Many people took to the streets, shouting that they would fight until the end.
This is Otanius' darkest hour.
Humanity is facing the crisis of genocide.
"For our children, brave men and women took up arms and resisted until the end."
"Down with the Covenant and resist until the end." Even children joined the march.
Once Otanius falls, what awaits them will be the most terrible fate in the universe.
The enemy will not stop killing and destroying because of children and women.
At this most critical moment, many people took action.
They called on the government to promote and implement the war mobilization order as soon as possible.
Resisting the Star Alliance is the most important thing.
However, on the surface of the planet Otan, the main star of the Otanius galaxy, the most prosperous capital city of Otanius, there are a group of people thinking about how to cause humankind to suffer a disastrous defeat, or even lead to extinction.
In the secret stronghold provided by the Evans family.
Organizations led by several political families to resist human tyranny are holding secret gatherings.
They plotted how to exploit the failure of Otanius' civilization to achieve their own goals.
These people have different minds.
Some want to seek more benefits for themselves and future generations.
Some are thinking about how to promote plans to punish humans.
The standard of the party was very high, and representatives of these families also included a group of elites from all walks of life.
It's all in finance, politics, and business.
They are all leaders or heavyweights in a certain field.
After the first war between humans and the Covenant, many people were thinking about why the Covenant was able to allow so many races to coexist harmoniously.
Humanity, on the other hand, was excluded from the Covenant.
When I learned that humans had expelled those races and forced those races to flee their homeland.
These high-end people began to think about issues from the perspective of the overall situation of the galaxy.
Reflecting on whether the ancestors in the past were too cruel, which led to such a result.
Only then would the descendants like them fall into the hatred and fighting of retribution.
After that, they considered themselves peaceful people.
Running around, trying his best to achieve reconciliation between the Covenant and humanity.
Various suggestions were also made, such as halting the Spartan program to avoid deepening the hatred between humans and the Covenant.
Promote a weapons-free society, let mankind give up the development of offensive weapons, and express its peaceful wishes to the Covenant.
However, normal people always make up the majority.
Naturally, no one will agree with this kind of behavior of depriving oneself of martial arts and turning oneself into fish meat on the chopping board.
Long hours of hard work, but no results.
They began to hate human cruelty and ignorance.
Angry at those compatriots who do not know how to repent of the sins of their ancestors.
"Humans are the most evil race in the galaxy. Human civilization has committed heinous crimes against countless races in the galaxy. Instead of reflecting on it, people in later generations have tried their best to use violence and war against the victims of the past."
"All the suffering that human beings suffer is deserved."
A person who joined an organization to resist human tyranny said these words in despair.
These words, which once became the motto of the organization, have become their slogan.
The members of the party have been tested many times.
Absolutely trustworthy.
Not long after the party started, the representative of the Evans family, Mike, announced good news to the members of the anti-human organization at the party.
"We have made contact with the Star Alliance and reached a preliminary consensus."
Mike's words made these people smile, and they all stood up and applauded.
The long hard work finally paid off.
This encouraged them.
Being able to communicate is the beginning of building peace.
As long as they persist in their efforts, humans will one day be able to join the Star Alliance.
All races will join hands and sing together to sing the praises of a galaxy where there is no war and all races can coexist harmoniously.
Mike stretched out his hand and pressed it, signaling everyone to quiet down, before continuing to say the following words.
"We have already made preliminary arrangements for this meeting to allow some human beings who are kind-hearted and long for multi-racial coexistence to survive. The other human beings will be eliminated because they are too evil."
"I think this ending is good." Ye Wen, the representative of the Ye family, said, "The war of the Star Alliance is also an excellent purification opportunity to purify those evil and cruel humans and physically erase their genes. So that the peace-loving and beautiful genes can remain.”
"Long live the Covenant." A man shouted enthusiastically, "They will bring us true beauty."
"The Covenant is the future of the galaxy."
"Let those bad guys die. As long as the prophets of the Covenant see that we are firmly on the side of justice, they will definitely be moved by our integrity and kindness."
Mike was very satisfied with the performance of the party members.
"But organizations that resist human tyranny still need to continue working hard to promote more exchanges and build a galaxy of harmonious coexistence."
"Humanity needs to be disarmed as quickly as possible."
"This is really important, to let the Covenant see our determination for peace."
While their discussion was in full swing.
A sudden communication made Mike's face look solemn.
After listening to the other party's call, Mike turned to the members of this private gathering.
"The latest news is that Case seems to have established contact with other human civilizations. The Master Chief has been ordered to set off to find reinforcements."
"Reinforcement?"
"Other human civilizations?"
Mike's words suddenly caused the originally harmonious gathering to explode.
"What exactly is going on?" Ye Wen asked, "Is this news reliable?"
Mike nodded, "It's reliable. It was given by a member of our organization. He is also a member of the organization that resists human evil and holds a high position in the military."
"Damn it, these guys." A man stood up and said viciously, "Why are they still unwilling to give up and accept their fate? They are so vicious and should have been punished long ago and died as soon as possible."
"We must not let them succeed."
"Yes, we must find a way to stop it."
Mike looked at the angry crowd and smiled.
"Someone has placed a subspace locator on the Autumn Wind. They cannot escape from our hands. I have sent people to send messages to the Star Alliance. The killer will be dispatched soon, and it is very likely that Follow the clues and get the coordinates of another civilization. At that time, the Covenant army will even bulldoze the other civilization, kill all the evil-minded beasts, and create a harmonious and beautiful new galaxy."
"Okay, that's what you should do."
"Kill, kill, kill all those guys and create a beautiful galaxy."
Traveling through subspace storms is never an easy task.
Especially since the subspace is still in a dark state.
The navigator's third eye also cannot see through the darkness and can only see the tide near the ship.
Once you cross the border, the risks start to increase.
Something in the warp struck their Geller field, causing the entire ship to shake.
The sea of souls roared and rolled.
Waves of destruction hit the Autumn Wind.
Under the terrifying tide, there are a large number of hungry nightmare entities and strange creatures hidden.
Sometimes, those evil things will struggle to get past the Geller Field.
Enter the cabin.
The Spartan team will shoot at each other with various weapons.
Destroy the opponent's body and expel it to subspace again.
Navigators are also under tremendous pressure.
The Autumn Wind is equipped with five navigators.
They took turns guiding the ship.
But even so, the act of traveling through the subspace storm still caused them heavy damage that was difficult to reverse.
At one point, a navigator let out a piercing scream.
He was drooling and screaming, his eyes were scarlet, and there was something crawling under his skin.
They had to jump out of the subspace, return to the real universe, and then perform an exorcism on it.
The soldiers and staff aboard the Autumn Wind have been in a state of nervousness for a long time.
The omnipresent sense of oppression made it difficult for them to breathe.
Some people go crazy within a few days of the journey.
John had to execute them.
This journey can be regarded as one of his most thrilling missions.
Whether it is reality or subspace, it is an absolutely dangerous place.
There are things that are just as evil where the light of stars cannot reach them.
But no one in the team said they were quitting.
They are all firm.
Believe in the Master Chief and believe that your sacrifice will be rewarded.
After experiencing another risk, they made a terminal jump and left the subspace.
Came to a relatively safe place in the real universe.
There are no planets that have fallen into darkness nearby, nor are there wandering void beasts and minions of darkness.
There is no open subspace rift.
A place like this can truly be considered a safe house during this journey.
The last time they came out of the subspace, they encountered a dark planet floating in the vast void, which was full of unspeakable monsters.
The three-headed bird driving a chariot of thorns, the rotten black pterosaur, the behemoth of the void covered with abscesses, and so on.
No one knows how many terrible evil things are hidden in the dark void! !
Even during the Human Alliance, the void realm between star systems was rarely explored.
Those places are too vast, don't have many resources and are too cold.
Even if a bird doesn't poop, it's a compliment.
There are no birds or shit in those ghost places.
Exploring is just a waste of time.
After the Evernight Crisis appeared, those vast voids were occupied by some ominous things.
"Let's rest first."
John said to the nervous team members. "It will take at most two days to complete the journey, so there's no need to be in such a hurry."
As soon as he finished speaking, the psychic detector rang.
The alarm instantly sounded throughout the Qiu Feng.
"There are subspace fluctuations and ships." The officer in charge of the Autumn Wind's detection array shouted.
"The shield is charged, allocate part of the energy to the main gun, and open the baffle."
John's face turned ugly.
The unique nature of the warp makes it extremely unlikely that two unrelated starships will appear in the same place.
The only explanation is that the other party is following them.
There are traitors at the top.
Case's words echoed in his mind again.
The dark void was illuminated by a strange witch light.
Those light whiskers wrap around the insect shell-shaped battleship like tentacles.
"It's a Covenant ship." An officer shouted in a horrified tone, "A small annihilation fleet. They are coming for us. They also sent us a message."
John looked ugly.
"Play it out."
"Surrender immediately, you are surrounded. Don't have any thoughts of resistance, we will ensure that you can survive."
"Damn it." Kelly slammed the metal table in front of her, and the tabletop was dented with such force, "Master Chief, order an assault. Even if we die, we will bite off a piece of the Covenant's flesh." .”
As soon as he finished speaking, the other side opened fire.
Several light spears directly hit the Qiufeng's newly activated shield, paralyzing it.
One of the luminous spears also penetrated the side of the ship.
Fortunately, there were no ammunition or energy piles there. It just penetrated the hull of the ship and killed a dozen crew members.
Then the lock detector also sounded an alarm.
The enemy launched a teleportation strike against them.
With a flash of light, a powerful elite Jiralhanae force appeared in the Autumn Wind, slaughtering the human crew and soldiers.
"Fight them off."
John shouted.
Many Spartan warriors raised their weapons and rushed towards the enemies.
Those teleported over were all elite Jiralhanae beasts.
It is much taller than ordinary Jiralhanae, reaching a height of more than four meters, and its strength and speed have been greatly enhanced.
The Spartan warriors who once crushed the warriors of many races in the Covenant were at a disadvantage when facing these Jiralhanae beasts.
John is doing pretty well.
With rich combat experience, he used the oscillating weapons that popped out of his arms to kill several elite Jiralhanae.
However, things were dire for the other Spartans.
After Kurt killed an elite Jiralhanae, his head was chopped off by a captain-level Jiralhanae.
Even Thor's hammer power armor can't defend against weapons covered with force fields.
Kurt's head flew out.
The headless body fell in front of John.
Blood spurted out, staining the floor red in a moment.
Sam was also pierced through the heart by the elite Jiralhanae's weapon and was nailed to the ground.
Kelly was knocked away and hit the wall. She was vomiting blood and fell into a state of serious injury and near death.
Ordinary crew members were also massacred.
The screams were endless, full of despair and pain.
Soon, only John was left standing.
Many Jiralhanae beasts surrounded it.
"Hand over the coordinates and you can live." A captain-level Jiralhanae walked up to John and stretched out a hand.
"no way."
John shook off the blood from his wrist blade and made a fighting stance.
There was a trace of guilt in his heart.
After all, he failed to fulfill his oath and failed to complete the task assigned by Case.
"Then go."
Before the captain-level Jiralhanae finished speaking, he was interrupted by an explosion in the air.
The entire space is dyed silvery white.
Lightning formed by ether roared in the huge corridor.
Six warriors wearing golden armor, whose faces could not be seen, and looked like gods, walked out of the light.
They were silent, without any harsh words.
Before the teleportation ended, their killing had already begun.
Each one is like a demon god, possessing speed and power that ordinary people cannot imagine.
The halberd was so sharp that the elite Jiralhanae was as if it were made of paper and was easily pierced.
Then he was picked up, thrown away, hit the wall, and turned into a puddle of mud.
The whole speed is so fast that it is difficult for the eyes to catch.
John subconsciously blinked due to the transmitted light, and twelve elite Jiralhanae beasts were already hacked to death. Blood with a strange smell flowed all over the ground, and the remains and broken arms were everywhere.
Several captain-level elite Jiralhanae roared, and they gave up on John.
He rushed towards the golden armored warriors.
But they are like moths to a flame, just wasting their lives.
The six golden-armored warriors cooperated flawlessly.
The enemy can be crushed in an instant.
John stared dumbfounded at the massacre that took place in front of his eyes.
Even with the assistance of a helmet, there is no way to see the killing process clearly.
When he came back to his senses and wanted to do something.
The Covenant warriors teleported to the Autumn Wind had been slaughtered.
All that was left was blood and stumps all over the ground.
The six golden-armored warriors began to clean up the battlefield and eliminate all the remaining enemies.
An elite Jiralhanae beast had its chest cut open, but it was still alive and well. When he looked at the golden-armored warriors, there was fear in his eyes.
Who are these guys?
Where did it come from? ?
No one gave him an answer.
The last thing the Jiralhanae saw was the boots of a golden-armored warrior.
The other party stepped on his head and exploded it alive.
After executing all the enemies, a golden-armored warrior walked up to John and took off his helmet, revealing a face that was as perfect as art, as if carved from marble.
"I am Hannibal, one of the Praetorians of the Holy Emperor, the supreme ruler of the Galactic Empire. Are you an envoy from Otanius, the lost human civilization?"
John stared blankly at this warrior who looked like a demon.
The other party's voice was so majestic, and there was eternal wisdom hidden in those eyes.
They easily slaughtered the elite Jiralhanae.
The time required is only a few minutes.
It's so easy and simple that it makes people wonder if those Covenant warriors are inflatable.
They are so powerful, so perfect.
Such a figure should be a perfect example of a noble ruler.
But he was just one of the imperial guards.
What kind of person is that so-called holy emperor?
Can these demon-like warriors swear allegiance to him?
Is he a god?
"Are you an envoy from the lost human civilization Otanius?" Hannibal asked again.
"Yes." John nodded subconsciously.
"I came to pick you up on the orders of the Holy Emperor. He said that you might be in danger. Now, you are safe. After treating the wounded, I will take you directly back to the empire."
After Hannibal said to John, he opened another communication channel, "We need a medical rescue team here."
John seemed to remember something, and he looked towards the observation ship.
It was discovered that the Covenant ships outside had turned into wreckage and were burning in the void.
Several large human ships with fire emblems were swimming near the wreckage.
The Covenant fleet chasing them was destroyed.
It's so fast it doesn't feel real.
"I'm here to ask for help." John realized the power of the Galactic Empire and hurriedly stated the purpose of his trip.
"We already know your purpose of coming," Hannibal said.
"What do you mean?" John asked.
