Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

Reminiscent of the 'Hongmen Banquet'...

William had to say that the minds of the elite race were really not very bright, otherwise they could have been deceived by the prophets for several, or even dozens of centuries.

Trap? Why do you say this is a trap?

After hearing Serena's words, Saom asked with a puzzled expression.

Eh... Serena seemed to be at a loss for an explanation, so she said to the elite general after a while:

The three prophets sent the Kirahani tribe to various fleets and troops as commanders, and recalled you Sangheili back to the 'City of Fraternity', according to the calculations of our artificial intelligence...

There is a 70% possibility that the prophets want to take this opportunity to deal with the Sangheili commanders and councilors who have high prestige and strength.

Then find some excuses such as you Sangheili have openly betrayed the Covenant and made blasphemous actions, and let the Jiralhani take over the command of the fleet and troops justifiably.

Well, this can solve the problem of division to the minimum extent, and can also strengthen the loyalty of the Jilahani tribe.

Even if 30% of the Sangheili commanders and parliamentarians who did not respond to the recall order survived, it would not be able to substantially change the overall battle situation.

Aww!! After listening to Serena's explanation, Saom yelled in extreme annoyance, and said:

It seems that those old bastards don't want us Sangheili to withdraw from the Star Alliance safely! Damn it!!

Saying that, Saom turned his gaze to William again, with a hint of pleading in his tone:

Russell, I can't just watch my clansmen get killed by those old things!

So I hope that after my clansmen and those weak races sign some non-disclosure agreement, let me lead them into the city of fraternity!

If you can approve this order, then I will willingly call you 'Boss', although I still don't quite understand what that means.

... Hearing that, William didn't immediately agree to Saom's request.

Serena... Mike, who was standing beside William, was the first to ask:

You just kept mentioning the word 'City of Fraternity'. Is it the political center of the Star Alliance? Which star system is it on?

General, the City of Fraternity is indeed the political center of the Covenant, but it does not belong to any galaxy, nor is it on any planet.

Serena waved her hand while speaking, presenting the data and images of the city of fraternity in the center of the holographic screen on the center console.

It is an aircraft that looks like a giant mushroom, and it is also a purple 'mushroom' that represents the color of the Star Alliance.

However, the data that appeared next to this mushroom made Mike, a veteran, frown.

With a diameter of about 350 kilometers and a height/length of about 500 kilometers, it can be said to be a celestial-level aircraft.

This...is the city of fraternity? Mike said in a deep voice.

Yes. Serena nodded without denying it, and continued:

When our artificial intelligence invaded the Covenant's communication network, we caught the word 'City of Fraternity' many times, so we tried to invade the Covenant's data and navigation network.

Although half a minute after we hacked into the data and navigation network, we were interrupted by some advanced defense of the Covenant and forced out of the data and navigation network, but…

This half a minute is enough for our artificial intelligence to understand most of the deployment of the Star Alliance, including the political center of the Star Alliance, the City of Fraternity.

The City of Fraternity is currently located on the Milky Way's outer arm, in an unnamed galaxy, well beyond the reach of our Orion arm.

It is about 70,000 light-years away from the solar system, and about 40,000 light-years away from the Harvest star where we are. If the warp drive is used to sail, it will take five days.

Hmm... At this moment, Sa Om had recovered from his anger, and nodded after taking Serena's words:

The City of Fraternity is indeed our political and military center, and the City of Fraternity is protected by an 'invincible' fleet.

According to the definition of your human rating, this armada has six COS-class super aircraft carriers, at least forty CAS-class attack aircraft carriers, and two thousand CCS-class and CRS-class heavy and light cruisers.

Not to mention that there are countless small ships, and hundreds of millions of carrier-based and transport aircraft.

Even if it is a fleet of its own, the Armada will not hesitate to fire without the permission of its peers.

To know…

Whether it is an aircraft, a battleship, or such a large object (raise your right hand and make a fist), the Armada can also monitor it and destroy it without any explanation.

Then you applied to the boss just now to lead a defeated army into the city of fraternity. It's no different from sending you to death. Mike interjected.

But! I can't let the clansmen be framed and killed by old things so easily when I know it's a trap! Saom became angry again.

All right.

At this time, William finally spoke. He motioned for the two generals who were not of the same species to be quiet, then stared at the hologram of the City of Fraternity, and analyzed in a deep voice:

Saom, I can understand your desire to save your people, but only relying on the 300 COS, CCS and CRS class ships on Harvest Star...

As Admiral O'Donahue said, this is undoubtedly an act of death.

What's more, among the 300 warships, only more than 100 ships can sail and fight normally.

As your ally, I can't just watch you die.

Also, Serena also said before that according to our human warp speed engine, it will take at least five days to reach the city of fraternity.

During this five-day period, we cannot guarantee that the City of Fraternity will transfer.

In addition, we humans are extremely easy to be detected when sailing at a warp speed. It is not a problem to sail within our territory, but the outer cantilever should be the territory of your Star Alliance...

Reckless sailing at a warp speed is undoubtedly an act that will kill us humans.

As a boss and commander, I will never agree to the raid on the city of fraternity, so I'm sorry, I can only say sorry for what happened to your clansmen.

The main goal now is to deal with the Star Alliance fleet that is coming from our human frontier, gradually expand the results of the battle, and recruit and win over your people.

Step-by-step reverse push is the most correct strategic approach.

Sa Om lowered his head helplessly, and after a few seconds of silence, he said in frustration, This...well...

By the way, boss... Serena looked at William, and added:

Before I mentioned that there are 'certain advanced defense measures' in the network of the Star Alliance. According to the comparison of the data I obtained when I entered the interior of the forerunner ruins, I found that they are completely consistent.

Therefore, the city of fraternity is theoretically the aircraft of the pioneers.

Moreover, I also discovered that there are also such 'defense measures' near the galaxy where the City of Fraternity is located.
