Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Chapter 94 Falling into the Halo ([-])

During the Covenant War, 49 time units per year, the sixth cycle, in the high orbit of the gas giant near the sacred ring, on the flagship Wushang Justice.

In the control room in the center of the flagship, Captain Ona Felsami was standing next to a San'Shyuum man who was trembling slightly with his head lowered, saying nothing.

The San'Shyuum Seer wears a tall, ornate metal tiara inlaid with amber.He has a curved neck, a triangular head, and a pair of bright green eyes that sparkle with evil intelligence.He wore a red burqa and a golden robe inside, and sat on an anti-gravity seat.

Although he was only a junior prophet, you could tell just by looking at his attire that his status was still far above that of Frsami.

"Damn Tyr'vadami!" The management prophet was shaking with anger. He roared, "He is the fart in the jar of those low-level Anggoi! He is the excrement pulled out by human heretics! He is the Holy Spirit. The broken bricks of the city that are trampled under the feet of every inhabitant!”

The Sangheili captain's four-petal mouth was tightly squeezed together, trembling at an almost undetectable level.He thought about all the sad things he had experienced since he was so old before he could barely stop laughing.

"Why?! Why can the inferior warships of heretics board the Holy Relic?!" The voice of the management prophet became even shriller. "If they do something unforgivable to the Holy Relic, I will report it to the Archbishop and the Supreme Being. Council, throw him away to the hungry Jiralhanae!"

Isn't this because you are timid and afraid of harming the holy relic?Vrsami thought silently.

Such an idea was too rebellious, so he closed his eyes and took away the distracting thoughts from his mind.

The prophet's curse lasted for six full time units, and it was not until his voice gradually became hoarse that Frsami spoke.

"Dear Sir, he is certainly hateful, but you should also take care of yourself!"

The management prophet roared angrily, waved his sleeves, and controlled the anti-gravity seat to leave the control room.

The deputy next to him looked at the two of them awkwardly, hesitated for a moment, and then hurriedly walked up.

"Captain, slip space fluctuations have been detected," the deputy reported in a low voice.

Felsami looked at the holographic display and saw a gaping hole in the regular space, and then a Covenant cruiser came out of it.

A cruiser suddenly appeared next to the holy site?He didn't believe this was a coincidence.

"Ask them to follow them and ask them where they are coming from and why they are here?"

"Yes, Captain." After saying that, the deputy began to operate the holographic panel. "They claim to be affiliated with the Brilliant and Fruitful Third Fleet. They came here to help after accepting the will of the ancient sages."

"The Brilliant and Fruitful Third Fleet. Which fleet is this?" Vrsami scratched his head in confusion.

The Covenant's military power is huge and complex, and it is normal for a Sangheili captain like him who usually just fights to be unfamiliar with some of the fringe fleets.

"No matter which fleet it is," the management prophet came up at some point, startling Frsami, "As long as it is not affiliated with the special justice fleet, there is a chance to win over."

"Yes, sir." Vrsami lowered his head again.

"Send a landing spaceship over and have a good chat with them. If they refuse," the management prophet's tone became colder, "sink their ship!"

"Yes, sir." Vrsami's body froze, and he looked at the display screen connected to the stern of the ship, which also contained a pile of shipwrecks floating inside.

Just before a sleep time cycle, Tir'vadami sent a force over to try to negotiate with the Administrative Prophet, but the boarding ship sent out was destroyed as it approached the flagship.The prophet also threatened the surrounding ships that anyone who tried to challenge his leadership would suffer this fate.

Vrsami hoped that they would be sensible, accept the assignment of the management prophet honestly, and not get involved in the vortex of this power struggle, otherwise he himself would be in trouble.

"Wow, is that a Scorpion tank?" Cecilia stared at the surface of the ring in the holographic display and sighed, "It seems that the Covenant bastard was beaten quite badly."

From a certain plain part on the surface of the halo, you can vaguely see the sparks of explosions. Some undead "U" transport aircraft flew out of the hangar of the Covenant cruiser next to it, and then roared towards those shining sparks.

"They are isolated and helpless and won't be able to hold on for long." Tommy said worriedly, "But we are weak and we may not be able to help if we rush up hastily. So before that, we have to get more information." He looked at To Ellie's slender holographic image. "This cruiser has been connected to their combat communication network," Ellie said. "I will leave for a while and come back when I have good news."

After that, Ellie's holographic image flickered and disappeared on the projection table.

"Sir, they have sent a boarding spacecraft," Taut reminded, pointing to a small black dot on the display screen, "if their personnel board the ship."

"It's not a big problem. We won't stay here for long." Tommy analyzed. "We'll lay an ambush in the hangar later. You guys deal with the Covenant soldiers who come out first. I'll rush into the cockpit and kill the pilot." , without giving them a chance to give feedback.”

At this time, Ellie's holographic image appeared again.

"So fast?" Tommy was a little surprised, but he soon noticed something was wrong with Ellie's expression - she turned her face slightly, and a smile appeared on her face. A smile that made him feel creepy.

"Ellie, what information have you collected?" he asked cautiously - or rather tentatively.

She watched Tommy smile even brighter, his eyes gradually lost their luster, and there was an inexplicable emotion flowing in them.

"Team leader, is this ship so unresponsive? It was obviously fine just now." Rebecca's voice pulled him out of the whirlpool of emotions.She did not notice Ellie's abnormality at all, but moved the circle on the holographic control panel with a frown, but the ship did not respond at all, "Ellie, change the course, we are going to encounter the boarding bird." ”

The artificial intelligence suppressed its terrifying smile, and she looked away from Tommy, staring coldly at Rebecca. Then the cruiser vibrated, and the noise of the engine gradually became louder - it accelerated, straight Rush towards the boarding ship.

"How dare you order me?" Ellie's expression became extremely angry, and her body suddenly turned red and blurry. Her voice was like dozens of hers superimposed together, "Do you think you have anything to do with him? Can being a little closer become everything to him?"

"Ellie." Tommy was so shocked that he could hardly speak. He remembered that ambiguous dream.

The bridge was silent, everyone was at a loss by her sudden attack.

The collision warning beep sounded suddenly, and a red symbol composed of triangles appeared on the holographic console and flashed rapidly.

"Don't worry about her yet, we're going to hit!" Rebecca shouted in panic.

"Ellie, adjust the approach angle!"

"Everything about you is mine, everything. Everything is mine!" Ellie ignored Tommy's words, and she gradually became hysterical.

"Becca, try manual!"

"Can't do it! The override control device is locked by her, and I can't open it!" Rebecca fumbled randomly on the control panel, but the spacecraft still crashed into the boarding spacecraft that was trying to avoid it.

"I will destroy them with my own hands and make you fall into the abyss!" she roared, her expression so ferocious that it overturned her image in Tommy's mind, "Then you will only have me, and you will only have me!"

"We're about to collide!!" Cecilia exclaimed as she looked at the boarding spacecraft that was zooming in quickly on the display screen.

Tommy activated the magnetic strips on the bottom of his boots and then pulled Rebecca down to a squat.Others quickly grabbed hold of solid objects nearby.

The three-kilometer-long cruiser easily hit the hull of the Covenant's small boarding craft.

They felt the impact, and the muffled sound echoed through the bridge.The Covenant's boarding ship was flattened, and the wreckage turned into a fireball due to friction with the atmosphere, flying all over the sky and falling towards the surface of the halo.

As if shocked by what they had done, the two cruisers following nearby slowed down.And they deflected the bow and continued to ram into the nearest cruiser.
