I will hold high the dragon flag in the world of the heavens

Chapter 601 Hey, this trick is called luring the enemy to run away (please ask for a ticket)
Covenant, City of Fraternity.

As the most famous city in the halo world, this giant city, which resembles a super-large mushroom, will be conquered and destroyed by the man known as the strongest man on the surface in the future.

But regardless of the protagonist halo of Master Chief John-117, the City of Fraternity has the strongest defense system and city defense force in the current universe.

You must know that the City of Fraternity is actually a huge battleship of the Forerunner-the Dreadnought.

The City of Fraternity is the remains of the pioneer battleship discovered by the Prophet. It is shaped like a huge mushroom-shaped mobile city with a diameter of 348 kilometers and can perform space transitions.

As the political center of the Star Alliance, the city has the largest Star Alliance fleet in history to perform patrol and defense tasks.

Once there are foreign ships that cannot report their ownership quickly, they will not hesitate to open fire.Not just space vehicles, any approaching object larger than a fist will be quickly locked and eliminated.

The reason why this city is so well-defended is because it is the center and birthplace of the Star Alliance's faith, and it is the relic of the gods of the forerunners.

It's a pity that this treasure mountain is restricted by the Star Alliance Faith Prophet, and has not been fully developed.

At this moment, in this huge space city, a once-in-ten-year super large-scale activity of worshiping the gods is being held.

During this time, you can see ghost-faced beast soldiers with a height of 3 meters kowtow to the pioneer ruins devoutly after disembarking.

The IQ of ghost-faced beasts is average, and the race belongs to the patriarchal system of the strong. The original name is the Jilahani tribe. Because the gravity of the planet they live on is twice that of the human world, they have a weight of more than 500 kilograms and a height of at least 2.8 meters.

The ghost-faced beast has a strong defense ability, and even small kinetic energy weapons of humans cannot break through the defense.

These Brutes are the most urban and honest warriors, deified the Forerunner civilizations.

In addition to the ghost beasts, you can also see the Sangheili (elite race) who are very difficult to deal with them.

After the Elite lost their battle with the San Siyum (the Prophets), the two tribes reconciled and created the Covenant.However, the elite race has always been the military leader of the Covenant, the only non-prophet race in the Supreme Council, and the only race allowed to build and command starships on its own, although the crew often consists of members of other races.

At this moment, these Sangheili tribes maintain a good cooperative relationship with the Prophet family of the Star Alliance, and they are not yet an important driving force for destroying the Star Alliance in the future.

However, the conflict between elites and ghost-faced beasts has always been a problem that is difficult to reconcile within the Star Alliance.

The ghost face beast has a great hatred with the Sangheili. Their dreams are very simple. One is to be loyal and fear the gods, and the other is to challenge the Sangheili and become the most powerful dog under the prophet's command.

In addition to the two races that are frequently seen, other low-level races within the Star Alliance can also be found.

Such as Grunts, Gnolls, Hunters, and Bingfeng, most of these races belong to the cannon fodder level. Although they handle laser guns and plasma weapons, their physiological characteristics and intelligence limit their performance.

In this city, you can still find many engineer races.

The engineer race is a race used by the pioneers. It doesn't have as many emotions as intelligent creatures, and it likes to stay with machines most of the time.

If humans capture them, they can also be used for themselves.

On this day, a joint command warship of the Sangheili tribe docked in the airport of the city of fraternity.

When the elite fighters of various races cleared the way and the military music was playing, Tirvadami, the supreme commander of the Sangheili family's fleet, stepped down from the spaceship.

Looking at the city of fraternity, which looked like a miracle, he felt fanatical admiration and awe in his heart.

Until a young prophet came up: "Your Excellency Commander, Minister Resolute has been waiting for a long time, and he is eager to know if the fleet has made any new discoveries recently."

Hearing that it was the Minister of Resoluteness, Tirvadami showed a trace of respect on his dark lizard face: "Please wait until I finish my work to salute."

While the Minister of Resolute is respectable, he must complete the required prayer rituals.

Tirvadami tidied up the neat and bright armor, and then solemnly worshiped the statue of their faith-the Forerunner.

Every time they come to the city of fraternity, the elites will worship the living gods. As a forerunner fanatic, Tirvadami can purify the soul during the worship, so that the heart that has been suffering from war frenzy will also find a short period of peace.

After the cumbersome ceremony, he followed the young prophet race to find the Minister of Resolute.

By the way, this resolute minister is the guy who was promoted to the prophet of truth decades later.

This madman who insisted on activating the halo weapon and activating miracles, but didn't know the truth, was in good spirits at the moment.

When he saw Tirvadami coming, he immediately laughed loudly: "Good day, Tirwadami."

"Good day, Lord Ode, I wonder why your lord is looking for me?" Tirvadami saluted the wily prophet, and then waited for his order.

For tens of thousands of years, the Prophet and the Sangheili have been getting along like this.

"Tirwadami, how is the progress of the recent miracle exploration?"

"Master Odd, no miracles have been detected in recent years. Our Pathfinder fleet is preparing to expand the scope of exploration and explore other spiral galaxies."

"Well, you have worked hard. The miracles wandering in the universe have been devastated by time and cosmic storms. We found these places and kept them properly. This is also the responsibility given to us by the gods."

Tirvadami immediately beat his chest in agreement with the words of Odd, the Minister of Resolute.

After saying this, Odd changed his voice: "A holy month ago, the Gnoll exploration warship detected a high-density electromagnetic signal in the 26th spiral arm galaxy area, and it is suspected that civilization exists. Your fleet can go here to investigate A moment. Then, the fleet mysteriously disappeared. What surprised the command even more was the time and location before and after the Gnoll planet disappeared."

A huge star map appeared in front of Tirvadami.

Looking at the star map, Tiervadami found that the scope of the Wolf man's exploration was very large, as high as 500 light-years, and it took only 3 days.

"Appeared at a distance of 3 light-years in 500 days? How did they disappear?"

You must know that the current range of activities of the Star Alliance is only 5000 light-years, not even one-thirtieth of the Milky Way, and the information provided by the gnolls and the location of their last disappearance are too general. They need at least dozens of holy years to explore clearly.

This is still a rough exploration!

"This is what makes us curious. The wolf man's brain is very smart, and the technology is not bad. Their last news said that they found super frequent electromagnetic signals, and then suddenly lost their traces. It has been 500 light years since they reappeared. So, this is a daunting task! Be sure to investigate the anomalies around here."

"Guaranteed to complete the task! Dear Lord Odd, I will notify the exploration fleet to explore this area later!"

They are the proud and warlike Sangheili, never afraid of a challenge.

This is also one of the reasons why the Prophet family can handle them.

Hearing that Tirvadami agreed, Odd's beast eyes showed a touch of satisfaction and praise: "Very well, Tirvadami is worthy of being the God of War in Sangheili. If it is found to be a civilized star system, the weak will directly exterminate the sacrificial offering." Gods."

Tirvadami beat his chest in agreement.

The Star Alliance's treatment of unfamiliar civilizations can be roughly divided into several types.

The first is the destruction of weak and worthless civilizations.

The second is to destroy civilizations with different belief systems.

The third type is weak civilizations that can be absorbed and conquered, and have the same origin.

However, the weak and small civilizations absorbed must accept the beliefs of the Star Alliance, adjust the industrial production lines, and send a large number of young and middle-aged people for the Star Alliance to fight in the universe.

In short, it is not easy to join the Star Alliance if you want to.

You have to be useful!
It has only been 10 years since the destruction of the Forerunners, and 10 years have passed since the last time the halo was activated. These 10 years are not long for the Milky Way.

There are not many races in the Milky Way galaxy today, and the current Star Alliance can be regarded as the most powerful race in the Milky Way.

"The Sangheili family has always been the pride of the Star Alliance. The exploration range of 500 light years is very wide. I will also mobilize ten exploration warships for you to drive."

Hearing a subordinate accepting the command, Tirvadami Lizard's eyes showed excitement: "Master Odd, please rest assured, I will definitely complete the task beautifully!"

"The gods bless you and your warriors in triumph."

"The gods are with us!"

After another courteous ceremony, Tirvadami and the current Minister of Resolute Ode went to taste a special meat dinner, and then participated in several receptions and parties. There were fights at the meeting, which added a lot of excitement. pleasure.

After the celebration ended, the warships of the various races of the Star Alliance scattered to all parts of the universe like locusts.

They want to set off into the unknown, looking for traces of gods, for traces of technology, or for the next unlucky guy.

In order to ensure internal purity and enhance the cohesion of the Star Alliance, the Star Alliance controlled by the prophets has formulated many things about spreading beliefs and collecting miracles.

These things are why the Covenant remains highly cohesive.

To be honest, the Covenant is a militant alliance of many who believe in the same god, very similar to the Western Alliance of humans.
-
Go back a few months.

The strong electromagnetic signal detected by the gnolls of the Star Alliance is actually the induction signal of Ju Chengyan's team.

It turns out that Ju Chengyan's team, relying on Fengrao Star as their base, made a major discovery. They found small halos 15 light-years away from Fengrao Star.

When the first halo was found, Ju Chengyan was naturally overjoyed, and then sent the news to Chen Mu.

Soon, Ju Chengyan was tasked with investigating the halo.

It stands to reason that they must be the first to investigate the halo world, but unfortunately their signal radar captured some traces of the enemy.

After investigation, they found that a warship of the non-human navy was performing reconnaissance missions a few light-years away.

From dozens of light-years away, Ju Chengyan discovered that these guys were actually the Jackal fleet of the Covenant Alliance.

The mission that originally wanted to explore the world of halo turned directly into a mission to lure the gnolls, and even find a place to completely annihilate them.

The horror of the halo was mentioned above. After forming an array, this super weapon that can destroy creatures within a radius of 25000 light years was built by the forerunners.

In the long history of the war between the Forerunners and the Flood, the Forerunners once established 12 large halos, 7 small halos, a large ark, a small ark, and a halo array formed by interconnecting several shield worlds in the Milky Way.

These super ring weapons that can exterminate all creatures in the galaxy are very terrifying, and only by hiding inside the halo belt and the shield world can they survive.

More than [-] years ago, the Forerunners activated the halo array with all their strength, and that activation almost completely wiped out the intelligent creatures and the Flood in the Milky Way.

If the forerunners hadn't collected life forms from the Milky Way and restored them, there might not be any signs of life in the Milky Way at this moment.

Years have passed, and now the newly grown intelligent civilization does not know the horror of the halo weapon.

When the Star Alliance is about to come into contact with humans, Chen Mu must find all the halo, ark, and shield worlds in the book.

They can't guarantee that these places are under their control, only that they are not controlled by the Covenant guys.

The Star Alliance is for its own dominance and for the gods.

Those of the Covenant do not yet know the horrors of the Forerunner's aura.

If this group of pilgrims is not organized, they will eventually release the parasitic Graveminds in Special Zone 05, causing the Flood to reappear in the universe.

And Chen Mu's search for the halo is to control the halo for their use.

In times of crisis, they can not only release the halo, but also destroy the halo.

All in all, Halo and Ark must not be in the hands of the Star Alliance and those guys.

Their mission is to remind that the civilization that guides the progress of the universe has been infiltrated by evil forces and is trying to destroy all life forms.

These enemies must not be allowed to master this super killer weapon.

This is also the reason why the jackals suddenly discovered so many electromagnetic signals.

The electromagnetic signal was arranged by them. In order to arrange false electromagnetic signals, they arranged several real and false locations to ensure that the jackals could not be found in a short time.

In order to ensure the safety of this halo, they even used tricks to kill the wolf man warship, trying to reduce the speed of human exposure as much as possible.

However, this is a luxury after all.

In the ninth month of coming to Halo World, three warships of different sizes suddenly emerged from the wormhole where the wolf man warship appeared.

As soon as the three warships got out of the wormhole, they unscrupulously turned on the photon and energy detection radars, searching for all possible creatures within a 100-day radius.

However, the high-spirited wolf man coalition did not find any traces of human existence. Instead, some special strong neutron radiation and solar storms hit frequently.

During these large-scale natural disasters, the wolf man showed everyone what it means to come out of excitement and come back disappointed.

They only stayed in this star field for less than 5 days, and fled here in embarrassment.

It's not that they are not strong, but that the neighborhood is too evil.

It doesn't look like there are intelligent creatures in this environment.

After this news was sent to the Tirvadami Fleet, which was exploring electromagnetic signals hundreds of light years away, he just scolded the other party for a bunch of idiots and cowards with a cold face. Focus on the area in front of his eyes.

Tiervadami discovered strong electromagnetic fluctuations here, and felt that civilization must exist here.

Maybe the disappearance of the previous Gnoll warships has something to do with them...
