The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

They are being slaughtered, and there is nothing they can do about it.

It was his own fault to rashly dispatch the troops without first testing, but it was not his own fault that he lost his life because of this fault... This made Till Vadami feel a heavy sense of guilt.He clenched his fists tightly as he watched the scene of those troop carriers fleeing away from the human warships, desperately leaving the range of anti-aircraft fire, and landing on the ring belt with all their strength.This attack can be said to have failed completely. The only goal that can be said to have been completed is that the troops here have also been thrown into the ring.

At best, it can defeat the human troops on the ring belt and protect the remains of the forerunners. At worst... In such a large area, the troops dropped are only a few thousand, and all of them are scattered. What a quagmire it will become.Without the fire support of warships and little knowledge of the intelligence on the ground, one can imagine how terrible the loss would be.

Humans watched these landing pods and troop carriers descend, and they had already taken precautions.

In the silent bridge, Adjutant Piero Kusowai looked at the picture on the screen and whispered:

"Commander, the situation seems to be a little bad."

It's not 'something's going wrong' anymore, it's 'we're losing this battle'?Piero Kusaowai was a smart and considerate man, but it was even more uncomfortable to describe the situation in this way now.

And the leading prophet is almost out of breath:

"How could this happen!" But his anger did not come from the massive deaths of soldiers—as he said before, the guiding prophet didn't care about the lives of these soldiers, he was only angry because there was no way to kill the hateful humans quickly. Clean out from the great and glorious ruins of the Forerunners "Energy shields! What thieves! They trampled on the wisdom of the Forerunners and stole the technology of the Covenant!"

This attitude made all the Sangheili on the bridge uncomfortable, but the Guide Prophet was oblivious to it.In the past, the Prophet accompanying the Special Justice Fleet was a member of the Prophet of Sorrow. He knew nothing about battles. His usual job was to pray and pray for the soldiers. As long as the battle started, he would stay in the Hall of the Creator obediently. It keeps silent inside and pretends that it does not exist, and comes out after everything is over to bless the living and the dead.But later, the original prophet was too old and weak to accompany him, so he changed to the current guiding prophet.

There is a rumor that the Guide Prophet preferred the Jiralhanis to the Sangheilis because the Jiralhanis were more devout, so he was rather unhappy about being transferred to a Sangheili ship, and Tir Vadami The authority that his exploits brought him seemed like a challenge to the guiding prophet.Whether that's true or not, at least guiding the prophets does always feel that way.

Tir Vadami was irritated by this, and he had asked for nothing but to guide the Prophet to at least be quiet in battle, not to distract himself in the fatal moment.He sighed quietly and made a decision.Even if this will cause uncomfortable things to happen after the battle, this is the only way to go now.

The super commander walked up to the projection of the prophet, knelt down on one knee before the surprised eyes of his subordinates, and put his right hand on his chest:

"It was my mistake to treat it as an ordinary human warship, an extremely serious and stupid mistake. Now they have the upper hand, and we are still in the predicament of not being able to use anti-ship weapons." He deliberately made a heavy face In a low tone, he said in a deep voice, "Guide the Prophet, please guide us with your insights. According to legend, the Prophets can mysteriously penetrate the illusions that are created out of nothing. Their wisdom is unparalleled and they can lead others through any difficulties. Danger...I apologize for my previous rudeness, Lord Prophet, please tell us what we should do!"

As soon as these words were said, everyone in the entire bridge was shocked.

On the surface, Super Commander Till Vadami seems to be trying to lead the Prophet to show weakness... but it is a hammer weakness.

[It was my mistake to treat it as an ordinary human battleship] Let’s not talk about it, after all, everyone thinks so, but the latter [They have an advantage, and we are still in the dilemma of not being able to use anti-ship weapons] No one could understand what was being said.True, it was an ugly thing to push each other's responsibilities on the battlefield, but anyone at this moment understood what Tir Vadami was thinking.

He has already planned to turn against the guiding prophet.

Although the whole passage is very euphemistic and has a very low profile, the translation is [You better think about how this battle was fought like this. If you think you are very good, then please come and show yourself to the end. How powerful].Tier Vadami knew that he was dancing on the red line of heresy. The words of the prophets were holy words, and no one would question the holy words. Any deviation would be a shameful dereliction of duty.

After fighting this battle and returning to the city of fraternity, I will inevitably be severely questioned in the parliament, and even part of my glory will be erased, and even the command right will be deprived, but if I don’t do this, I will continue to let the guiding prophet fumble command Right, then this battle can't even be won.

If humans are allowed to take away the ring belt, or if the two sides continue to increase troops and cause the ring belt to be destroyed, it will be much more serious than a trivial matter such as a conflict with the prophet accompanying the army.

The soldiers next to them were completely dazed by the sudden 'extorted confession', their uneasy eyes moved back and forth between the two immediate superiors, not knowing what to do.Only Tier Vadami shouted:

"Don't just stare blankly! Salute!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers subconsciously chose to obey in the chaos.All with their right hands in front of their chests, kneeling on one knee.

The Prophet was also shocked by this sudden 'attack'. After hesitating for a few seconds, he realized what Tier Vadami meant, and his body trembled with anger. His eyes were like knives on the super commander face, but the Sangheili met the Prophet's sight without fear, and repeated:

"Master Prophet, the situation is urgent now! Please tell us what we should do!"

"..."

Of course, he didn't know what to do to guide the prophet, but at this point, he wanted to keep his authority—even if the authority was only superficial, there was absolutely no way to refuse it.Because of his embarrassment, his anger deepened again, but the atmosphere created by Tier Vadami made him unable to get angry directly. His anger was firmly sealed in his brain, which almost made him lose his temper. Back in such a breath.

At this critical juncture, he could only think of what to say:

"Report to the city of fraternity, we need reinforcements." This feeling is very uncomfortable, and every time the leading prophet utters a word, I feel that the group of Sangheili people who are half kneeling in front of them are laughing at themselves. If you can't do it, then seal off this area first, don't let it escape, and when the reinforcements arrive, it will try to leave because of the huge fleet of the Covenant. Let him stay away, and then Sink him, it's that simple!"

After saying this, the leading prophet didn't want to go any further:

"I'm tired, and I'll leave the rest to you." Like running away, he left this sentence and then disappeared, "I'm going to rest on the Truth and Harmony, and I hope you've settled everything when I come back. "

Till Vadami stood up with a cold snort, and shrugged his shoulders at his uneasy subordinates:

"Now he won't talk too much anymore." The commander didn't intend to really listen to the "proverbs" that guided the prophet. Even if the reinforcements arrived, the possibility of the enemy resisting with the belt was much higher than giving up this The natural 'bunker' turned around and ran, and he had to find another way to "tell the Marine Corps to let them capture human prisoners, preferably important people with high military ranks."

"Captive?" Artes Watumi asked. "Why?"

"It's used to negotiate with humans. All kinds of evidence show that humans like this. Well, let's go."

"Yes!"

It wasn't a 'glorious' fight, but it was an effective one.Covenant soldiers dare to face death and accept the death of their comrades. Although it is unpleasant and sad, you can never use a Sangheili as a hostage to bring another Sangheili to submission.But humans are different, they don't know what a decent death is, and if you catch them, you can use it to coerce their companions into doing anything... even if it seems like a trap.

The prophets believe that although the Sangheili people are both wise and brave, they all have a bad habit: driving out everything in front of them.As a direct result, there was little intelligence left for the analysts to analyze—but that didn't include Tier Vadami.He is good at using any means to win, not just plasma guns and energy swords.

Fortunately, when fighting on the ground, our soldiers can occupy a considerable advantage.Just hope they don't get too excited and kill everyone...

With this in mind, Till Vadami looked at the screen quietly, his body was motionless except for the ups and downs of breathing, like a living statue.

----------------------

The corpses were scattered all over the ground, and the purple and blue blood was sprinkled on the swamp, giving people an unreal sense of tragedy.Because the blood is not red, Oregana lacks the sense that she just got the head for a few seconds.But soon she didn't care about these, and threw the head that had just been cut off to Inu Sakuya next to her, and said in the communication:

"The battle is over, we have just annihilated a Covenant combat team. Their landing craft was shot down by Prometheus a kilometer west of our current position, but we are unable to recover it now - the total number of Covenant soldiers who completed the landing There were 12 people, all of them were killed just now, there are no survivors."

【Catch your tongue later?Ansador also hopes to get more Star Alliance prisoners. 】

"...It might be a bit difficult."

"I told you boss! Don't be so excited!" Liu Lizi patted Oregana's back thrusters with both hands, "at least keep your tongue! It's all dead, where can I ask?" !"

"We think that even if we catch it for a while, we won't be able to ask anything." Oregana seriously lifted the corpse in her hand and removed the head. "I don't have any equipment at hand, so it's better to just eavesdrop on the communication."

It was an almost perfect battle just now.

The team led by Oregana attacked the newly landed Star Alliance team from different directions, and Khorne's decapitation (in the physical sense) of the opposing team leader was extremely effective.When she chopped off the commander's head with an axe, the morale of the Covenant combat team collapsed, and when they fell into chaos, attacks from all directions sent them to the team leader's side in an instant.

"Hey..." Liu Lizi saw the appearance of his boss, and signaled the surrounding soldiers to be alert, "The next thing is a chaotic battle, what if the city of fraternity sends reinforcements here? Shall we also jump on the flagship?"

The Jackdaw has a force field generator. Once the enemy starts to increase its troops, we can also increase our troops.But this means that the two sides will fight near the ring belt, and the ring belt is very fragile, and a careless one may destroy the 10-year-old ruins.

But she hadn't figured out a way to solve the problem, but the proximity sensor and her consciousness detection detected something approaching at almost the same time—from the feeling point of view, it was the guy who had been wandering around and peeping around for the past few days.The irrefutable biological thinking response, clear and complex emotional response, no matter how you look at it, you are a living person.

Just when Oregana wanted to see who was peeping these days, she saw a confusing guy...

That strange thing emerged from behind a jungle, and kept making a sound like humming a ditty.It is round, almost a sphere.There is a single robotic eye emitting blue light on the body, surrounded by a simple support structure, which is a whole circle smaller than the Protos Probe.Its tone is serious, but at the same time it also reveals an unusually happy mood.

"Hello! I am the guide of the large device-04, and my name is '343 Guilty Spark'. Nice to meet you, messengers of the Chaos Realm." Its voice sounds artificially synthesized. From the color point of view, perhaps Changing to Hatsune's sound source will not cause any sense of disobedience.At this moment, the artificial intelligence who called himself Guilty Spark said in the same familiar tone as an old friend he hadn't seen for many years:

"You've changed a lot...but not much."

Nice to meet you, Messenger of Chaos Realm? !

good guy...

When Oregana heard this, she put the axe back on the weapon rack behind her with a horrified expression—the amount of information was too much, and she had to digest it carefully.

Chapter 1031 Chapter 70: Port side に torpedo が approaching する!

Oregana had a feeling before that there must be something waiting for the peeping guy.It may be watching in the dark whether it can be trusted, or guessing its purpose, and then choose how to act.

As a result, the first battle had just ended, and before he had finished beheading himself, this guy came out suddenly, and greeted himself with a familiar tone, which was cheerful and even a little crazy.But its real body is something that I excluded from the very beginning - the leader of the 04 halo, the Hong Moguan girl who shakes the 343 evil spark.

It has knowledge of the Warp and is able to detect its true form.And from its words, it can be guessed that the Forerunner has something to do with the subspace, so Guilty Spark considers itself an ally.This is a big discovery...how many years ago did the subspace—because it was not anchored to this world before, so I don’t know exactly how many years ago, but it must be calculated in tens of thousands of years. At that time, everyone in the subspace The bosses are not as easy to talk to as they are now.

For most of the time in the long past, these guys were definitely not easy partners for ordinary civilizations, and almost everyone avoided them.Able to reach a cooperation with them, and this cooperation is solid enough to be written into the database and will not be forgotten even after 10 years of the current world.The only reason Oregana could come up with was that some difficult guy that neither side could handle well appeared at that point in time.

Then she immediately noticed another thing—the wide-area clearing ability of the halo is aimed at the Flood, which has a powerful infection ability. High-level organisms without a neural structure will be dried into a pile of lifeless, rotten flesh.

This stuff sounds as effective as something that everyone is familiar with, and indeed there have been civilizations that rely on cleaning up ecological planets to create 'isolation zones' to block the attack of the dark worms.This gave Oregana a premonition that she might start doing her old job again at any moment... She sent a message to make all the guard posts be more vigilant.

But regardless of whether she was in her old profession or not, she felt that she might have the opportunity to see the secrets that had been forgotten in history countless years ago.

It's just that it's not suitable to talk about these things now. Oregana looked at the pioneer Tanji (Fog) who was flying around, watching Inu Sakiya rambling about "Is this a new head-collecting device?" I don't even know how to ask about the content of the Forerunner and the subspace-at present, I don't even know where to start asking, and the situation is not so leisurely that everyone can sit down and have a good talk.

She grabbed the spark of guilt and looked over and over again:

"It's really an exquisite artificial intelligence, won't there be a living brain stuffed inside it?"

What I perceived before was definitely the subspace projection formed by the consciousness of intelligent creatures, and now I feel it more clearly than before.This thing is definitely not a pure artificial intelligence. It feels like extracting the consciousness of a clone warrior, but there is no body to put it in, so I just found a computer and ran it first.

And if you feel it carefully, you will find that there may be more than one consciousness in this thing. I really don't know how this kind of artificial intelligence was created.

But one thing is certain, this kind of conscious body will have a high adaptability to the ordinary brain, that is to say, if there is a chance in the future, it can really get a body for it—such as Hatsune or something.

Guilty Spark didn't get angry after being tossed and turned, it swayed and struggled out of Oregana's hand, its 'eyes' shook up and down:

"How is that possible, mere organisms are not immune to a whole hundred and one thousand two hundred and seventy local years. Most of them were pretty boring, but that's gone forever! Ha! Ha! Ha!" It goes around in the air "Is the outside world okay? What are these guys? I hear them say something like 'Covenant' 'Pilgrimage' or something... The outside world is back to okay War? Great, great!"

"You don't know what the Covenant is, but you know who we are?"

"Of course! In time immemorial, our ancestors were here side by side, but I don't know exactly what was done." Its synthetic voice said in a pedantic tone, which sounded mysterious and serious "But I know we Not the enemy, you were allowed to ascend the ring by the Forerunners - but only, because the property will be handed over to the Recyclers... if nothing else."

"Of course, we never thought of meddling with other people's property," Oregana swore. She took off her helmet, looked directly into the 'eyes' of the evil spark, took a deep breath and solemnly said, "We are here for Hong Kong!" The devil is coming."

Hearing this, the craziness of the evil spark stopped, and it seemed a little confused:

"The Flood..." the machine whispered, "That's not a good reason."

This made Oregana a little relieved. A few seconds ago, what she was most worried about was that the sparks of guilt suddenly burst out, like a dragon whose treasure was touched, intending to kill any intruders who knew there was treasure here. .But I don't know whether it is trusting in the "Allies of Chaos Realm", or feeling relaxed after finally having someone to communicate with, it seems quite calm:

"I hope you can make it clearer. Of course, there is one thing to say first, that is, the Flood will never be allowed to leave the detention facility here. If you insist on doing this, I will take the most extreme measures to avoid leakage of infection."

It always remembered its mission, and quickly accepted the fact that these outsiders knew about the Flood.It seems that in its thinking circuit, the "messengers of chaos" should have known the existence of the flood.This saves a lot of explaining time and communication hurdles.

While sorting out the existing information in her mind, Oregana explained to the omnic in front of her:

"We all know that the Flood threatens all creatures in this world." As she spoke, she pointed to the head that Inu Sakuya was holding next to her—it was the head of a Sangheili, and her unclothed eyes were dim. Looking ahead blankly, "The Covenant is unaware of this threat, and neither are humans. Now warships from both sides are approaching here."

"Looks like one of the parties has arrived."

"That's right." Oregana said, "But because it's a war now, we can't convince the Star Alliance that their enthusiasm for the Forerunners will make them investigate this ring in an imprudent manner, and think that everything in it Good things to be embraced, enshrined and inherited...so killing is inevitable."

The Guilty Spark didn't care about the lives of the Covenant soldiers at all, but it cared about other things - when Oregana finished speaking, the ball trembled violently, and the voice became angry:

"Are you kidding me? This is the stuff of the Forerunners and Recyclers! Who do they think they are! I will never allow it!"

"We'll talk about this issue later, and that's your problem—we only care about the Flood." Oregana waved her hand and re-stated her purpose "The reason we came here is because we are afraid that someone will pick this thing up It came out. If that thing is pulled out, can you control it?"

"...we have defenses that will suppress the infection in the early stages," Guilty Spark said, but his voice sounded decidedly underwhelming. "If... nobody messes with it."

Oregana was skeptical.

War Scythe and the Tin Woodman have dealt with the original plot of the Heilou before——
