too late, organism

After the failure of the Battle of the Star Alliance, the society of the Star Alliance followed the tradition of the Sangheilis taking the blame if something went wrong. When Tyr Vadami became the Kamikaze Martyr, he took responsibility for the failure of the battle.

The three prophets also took the opportunity to replace the Sanheili who were getting bigger and bigger with the Brutes as their honor guards. After all, they have more and more right to speak in the Star Alliance and have begun to threaten the San'Shium. As for the thugs of status, these space gorillas who are relatively simple-minded and not very thoughtful have become pawns used by the three prophets who control the Covenant to rebalance the power of the Covenant.

And even for those simple-minded ghost beasts, the prophet still holds their braids in his hands, and can use the exile legion of the ghost-faced beast traitor Attioux as an excuse at any time to remove these simple-minded things from the position of honor guards. Kick it down, if there is a better candidate in the future.

The ruler is high above, let his subordinates go dog to dog for a little residue spilled from their fingers, this is the way of rule.

However, this time there was a little problem with the plan of the three prophets. According to the plan, after they carried out such a series of actions equivalent to putting a thousand-pound aerial bomb on the fire, these troublesome things no matter what. Is it the kamikaze martyr or the honor guard of the ghost face beast who just took office.

Will leave the city of fraternity, the political center of the Covenant, where the kamikaze needs to wash away his shame by destroying the human colony planet and die there, while the prophet will bring an honor guard composed of these furry and smelly ghost beasts , an important node on the way to the pilgrimage, from the study of those forerunner relics, they learned that there is a portal leading to the forerunner belt.

As long as these troops can be transferred from the city of fraternity according to the plan, it is like removing the thousand-pound aerial bomb from the fire. Although the fire and the aerial bomb are still there, at least it will not explode so easily.

But... things didn't go the way the Prophet envisioned.

When the Prophet finished this series of things and was about to remove the aerial bomb from the fire, they were surprised to find that the aerial bomb was welded to death on the fire and could not be removed at all. The vast majority of people don't know why they are all lying down all of a sudden.

No matter what the engineers do to repair them, these warships are like elementary school students lying in bed, unwilling to leave the dock and anchorage for half a step.

All the modules on these battleships are running well, the reactors still have a strong output, and the engines are still running well. After a comprehensive inspection of all the battleships, the whole ship is in good condition and even the toilet is not blocked.

But these warships just can't move, lying motionless in the docks and anchorages, if they are tossed by those engineers, they may even simply cut off the power of the entire ship and lie still.

Therefore, not only the conflicts intensified due to political struggles, the city of fraternity where the Sangheili people took to the streets to protest, even other colonial planets of the Star Alliance also experienced some instability due to the large-scale nesting of these warships. All the powerful high-level members of the Star Alliance began to support themselves, and declared that they were the loyal ones, and their political enemies should be responsible for this situation.

As a result, people were panicked for a while, and the nature of the Star Alliance, a bulk country, was fully exposed. On some remote planets, those members of the Star Alliance who had long-standing grievances even took advantage of the opportunity that this city of fraternity could not directly interfere, so The heresy of one's enemies has led to the present situation as an excuse to directly use force to physically destroy one's opponents.

Even those Shinra infiltrators who cut off the navigation function of the battleship to create the first conditions for the UNSC counterattack did not expect that just paralyzing most of the Covenant warships would cause such serious consequences.

After all, according to the same bulk of the human empire as a reference, even in the star regions blocked by the warp space storm, there are still many who can survive in this situation of being isolated from the empire system and maintain their loyalty to the empire.

So when the cat car was about to embark on such a low-profile version of the Chaos Invasion (crossed out) empire expedition, those Shinra infiltrators had just locked the Star Alliance and possibly fleet transfers, so why did the Star Alliance immediately become smoldering? The posture to be finished.

After receiving the reports from the Shinra infiltrators, Maoche ignored the fact that the planned UNSC ordinary troops had not yet completed the Kopruulized full refit, and that the Wrath Regiment and War Sisters troops converted from the ODST troops were still short of formations. less staff.

They immediately prepared to launch this unfinished expedition. After all, Maoche's interest in the Star Alliance of the Star Alliance lies in their industrial systems that can build CSO-class super aircraft carriers and the supporting industrial workers.

If it is not for the production capacity of the Star Alliance, and if UEG is going to let out the bad breath that has been beaten for nearly 30 years, so that everyone can live in peace and choose the empire for a long time, then directly let the invincible Abathur Take out those Zerg viruses she treasured and spread them out.

Although this zerg virus is a bit worse than the Flood, which can infect everything, the Star Alliance is not a pioneer.

But this place will be my own territory in the future, and I have to clean it up after it is broken, so I have to take it step by step and eat those industrial departments into my stomach.

So when the troops were assembled, the first target selected by the cat car was the K7-49 asteroid that had been the frontline fulcrum of the Covenant fleet.

This asteroid used to be a shipbuilding base of the Star Alliance. It has several shipyards and is constantly replenishing the Star Alliance with warships. If this shipbuilding base is not destroyed, the Star Alliance, which can continuously obtain battleship replenishment from here, will easily destroy Orion. All human colonies.

As a result, three hundred Spartans from Company α, the first wave of the third phase of the Spartans, were ordered to completely destroy the reactor on the star, making the shipbuilding base completely useless.

In this operation known as Prometheus, Alpha Company successfully destroyed all the reactors on the planet, completely paralyzing the Covenant shipbuilding base.

Even after the Star Alliance has been trying to restart the shipbuilding base, they have not been able to restore the base to the way it was before Prometheus. Those reactors were destroyed and a large number of shipbuilding equipment were damaged. Repairing these damaged equipment will be a difficult task. Work.

And the three-phase Spartan Alpha Company who was ordered to go to K7-49 never came back.

So such a planet that is being repaired by the Covenant, has a lot of industrial equipment that is almost worthless except for refurbishment, and a planet where many Covenant troops are stationed is simply a perfect testing ground.

The cat car can evaluate the combat effectiveness of the troops in its hands and their fighting style in the battle against the K7-49 asteroid, so that it can send appropriate troops to attack the Covenant planets with a large number of valuable industrial facilities in the future The battlefields that are suitable for them to play.

Soon, the cat riders gathered a half company of Wrath Regiment fighters, more than 30 Leviathans carrying more than 404 war nuns who could be counted as a whole War Sisters Order, and two UNSCs who had completed the transformation. The regular marine division is composed of a composite brigade with the former [-]th Heavy Armored Battalion as the core, as well as all the second-stage Spartan fighters and the third-stage Spartan gamma company that has just completed training and can begin deployment. battle group.

In addition to naval power, the combat power of this battle group can win almost every ground battle in the Human-Covenant War.

But fleet operations... The Star Alliance first pulled the warships that were held in the anchorage by the Shinra infiltrators out of the anchorage by pulling fibers.

So now that almost all the warships of the Star Alliance are on strike and lying down, the cat car can bring this huge battle group to the asteroid K7-49, the grave of the Spartan Alpha Company.

The first people to land on the asteroid were the War Sisters and Wrath Corps fighters in airdrop bags.

Since the Covenant has limited troops on this planet, in order to better test the combat effectiveness and combat methods of these troops, the cat car did not let these troops attack Keha with the Queen of Blades in a certain world line, yours Ammunition dwindles by the hour, and my airdrop pods parachute endlessly.

Instead, the only first airdrops were three battle squads from Wrath's half company, and a company of War Sisters reinforced with three Ultralisk (crossed out) Penitents.

Of course, the organization standard of this war nun company is based on the number of insect swarms in the past, so when the airborne began, there were still overwhelming airdrop sacs, but in order to reduce losses, most of the airdrop sacs were empty.

The first to drop to the ground were the three combat squads of the Wrath Regiment, as well as the female commanders of the War Sisters Company who had belonged to the ODST.

After jumping into hell first according to their past traditions, the combat styles of these two troops that once belonged to the same combat unit have undergone tremendous changes.

After landing, the three combat teams of the Angry Regiment did not follow their previous tactical teachings to quickly assemble and then fight in small groups.

On the contrary, these yellow cans took out their weapons immediately after landing and launched an attack on the nearest Covenant members, using C-14 rifles and power hammers in the battle cry of "F*UC!! YOU!" In fact, it was mainly the power hammer and the small parts of the Covenant soldiers killed by them that made all the Covenant soldiers that appeared in their sights into American-style plasma slices.

Compared with these furious yellow cans, the war nuns are relatively more elegant. After landing, these blade knights first quickly assembled according to the previous airborne tactics and began to build a chain of command, organizing those transformed springtails and stingers. The Snake consolidates the landing site so that the Leviathan in orbit can then drop the big guys in the company.

Under the command of these blade knights, the Zerglings and Hydralisks quickly stabilized the landing field.

After the transformation, those springtails that used to have a big mouth and two sharp bony spurs that could swing forward were transformed into a cat that looks a bit like the Elu cats in Monster Hunter World, which are only three heads in height, but have a human-like appearance. The same carapace armor of the Imperial Stormtrooper, with a C-14 Gauss rifle in his hand, and a full-face helmet with a face that cannot be seen clearly on his head.

Compared with these transformed Zerglings who are called Fighter Servants without even faces, the treatment of those transformed Hydralisks is much better. They have been transformed into Battle Sisters in the general sense, which are the most common feedback on wearing clothes. Type power armor, with a bolt gun to shoot out all the enemies of the empire and heretics, as well as the occasional war nuns used by the gray knights to plaster the walls.

Of course, because the style was transformed from the Hydralisk, the power armor is actually the chitinous carapace that used to be on the Hydralisk. The glorious tradition of fighting is gone.

And these "battle nuns" also inherited the dynamic vision of the previous version, so these battle nuns can manipulate two weapons at the same time and hit two targets, so their equipment is generally a grenade launcher in the left hand and a grenade launcher in the right hand. Gauss rifle, send anyone who thinks they can shoot them from cover.

After stabilizing the landing field with the fighter servants and the battle nun squad, the grenade of the battle nun kept sending those Covenant troops into the sky, and the Gauss rifle that could smash the Covenant shield with one or two shots told these Covenant soldiers that the era has changed time.

The heavy units among the battle nuns also began to arrive at the landing point through the airdrop bag, the most eye-catching of which is the largest in size, and at the same time, it gives a feeling that if the designer of this thing is not crazy, he should waste the driver's money. The atonement mecha that was shot for crime.

These large-scale land combat units transformed from Ultralisks use a strange layout that directly fixes the driver on the main armor directly in front of the vehicle, although in fact it looks like that except for the piece hanging outside the body There is no driver outside the white cloth. In fact, it is just a 36G interface created by Abathur after softening the sharp horn on the face of the Ultralisk. But after seeing this thing, people will want to ask about it. Strange layout of how many drivers are consumed per hundred kilometers.

However, after all, this gadget is based on the Thunderbolt. After the transformation, in addition to adding a pair of monomolecular giant blades that can cut through engineering tanks, a 180mm siege tank was added directly above it. Cannon, and two 35mm revolvers on the waist.

After this set is modified, although it is still called the Atonement Mecha, compared with the two-storey Atonement Mecha of the genuine war nuns, this Shinra version of the Atonement Mecha is undoubtedly a giant.

So when the three atonement mechs came out of the airdrop bag, the gnolls and grunts in the Star Alliance defense line who were already relatively easy to shake along with their firepower extended without any surprise.

Chapter 297 282 The Punishment Battalion Is Part of the Game

There is no doubt about Shinra's victory in the K7-49 asteroid battle, or it would be a strange thing to say that it would fail under the attack of this overwhelming force.

After testing the combat effectiveness of the various units in his hands, Maoche directly airdropped [-] companies of war nuns and more atonement mechs to the asteroid, completely smashing the last elites and ghost beasts trying to rely on some abandoned The factory's temporarily remodeled fortress plans to stick to it.

After the battle, the landing force captured a lot of Grunts and more Gnolls, and those engineers who were still floating in the air to maintain these damaged industrial facilities even during the battle were actually in the battle. Later, when the cat car signaled to the landing troops to persuade them to surrender, these gnolls were the first to lay down their weapons.

Some jackals even expressed that they would be willing to fight for humans as mercenaries if the human troops were willing to pay the rewards. Cat Che, who conducted this battle to test his combat ability, immediately agreed to the demands of these jackals.

After saying that they would be paid with military rations after the battle, these jackals immediately began to attack their former comrades-in-arms as if they had fought in the Covenant camp.

And the jackals in the defenders, after seeing the jackals successfully defected, almost after the surrendering jackals fired three shots into the sky, they surrendered with courtesy, and some of the jackals equipped with elite officers The man simply shot the officer's black gun.

Compared with these gnolls who don't know what to say, the performance of those grunts who also surrendered is much more normal.

After laying down their weapons, these Guru people didn't even need the escort of the Shinra troops, they consciously arrived at the place designated by Shinra, lined up neatly and sat on the ground waiting for orders, even the new captives continued in the team without being greeted. Sit down obediently in line.

As for the engineers who floated in the air and carried a shell on their backs, no one made things difficult for these big guys with little fighting power.

These big guys who are indifferent to everything outside except for repairing the damaged machinery will even repair the equipment of the Star Alliance and Shinra silently and indiscriminately during the battle, but when they see those who can After the deformed war machine, it made a "cuckoo" sound that seemed to symbolize dissatisfaction.

So Shinra did not embarrass these large molluscs immersed in the world of machine repair. After all, what bad thoughts can engineers have?

So after the battle, the engineers were left on this asteroid to continue their work, and the gnolls were included in the list of the first wave of airborne in the next battle. In addition to the red carapace breastplate and helmet that cannot be taken off once put on, the large UNSC emblem is painted on the front of these carapace breastplates.

And those Grunts were sent to the rear by ship, ready to be handed over to those political commissars of Zinor to carry out a campaign of reminiscing about bitterness and sweetness, and then see how well they reform their minds and incorporate them into the Star Alliance Liberation Army that is being formed.

After the K7-49 campaign ended, Cat Che ordered to search for the wreckage of the members of the third-stage Spartan Alpha Company, but after thoroughly searching the asteroid, they only found two broken asteroids with dried blood. The helmet of the MK-1 SPI armor, apart from this, no more relics left by the Alpha Company of the third phase of Spartan can be found.

So before the troops left the K7-49 asteroid, Maoche ordered the fleet to use lasers to carve the names of all members of Company Alpha in the rock formation of the asteroid, as well as the outline of the Prometheus operation and their epitaph "They did not You died in battle, but you haven't found your way back yet."

After the Battle of Reach Star, ONI and Shinra obtained a lot of information about the Star Alliance from those captives and the Star Alliance network, including how bulky the Star Alliance is.

Even the honest and responsible Grunts have launched a massive rebellion in the history of the Star Alliance. This rebellion ended with the destruction of the Grunts' home planet and the Grunts were allowed to join the Star Alliance army.

So after the arrival of those experienced Zenor avengers and political commissars, ONI and these Zenors who never took off their helmets formed the UEG Chamber of the Shinra Tribunal. The rebel organizations that have nothing to do with personnel have been systematically attacked.

No betrayal is too small, no sacrifice too great.

In the past, those rebel organizations were able to kill like mosquitoes in summer. The big reason is that there are people in these rebel organizations, just like the goblins in Journey to the West, the guys who can really make big things happen, and the supporters behind them When the conference is held, they usually sit in the first three rows.

Therefore, after ONI finds these guys, it can only temporarily suppress the matter in order to avoid political turmoil and use political means to solve the problem.

But this problem does not exist in Shinra. After UEG and Shinra merged, the hospitals of the SCP Foundation bloomed all over the territory of UEG, and the high-level leaders were unified into the SCP Foundation in the name of life extension surgery and health checks. A round of physical examination was carried out in the hospital, and then the thought stamp was knocked like this...

That is the judge, my loyalty comes from the heart!

After the fathers behind the rebel organizations let go, when these rebel organizations were carrying hammers and doing things with the Zinol United Group, in front of the Avengers, whose grandpa's grandpa was not even born, it was like holding an inflatable hammer A three-year-old is just as harmless.

After dealing a heavy blow to these rebel organizations, the Inquisition turned its attention to the oppressed working people of the Star Alliance.

Among them, the Grunts are the most valuable to fight for. From the perspective of the trial court, other members of the Star Alliance have more or less gained a lot of benefits in the war against humans, and the San'Shiums have maintained their rule. As well as the right to interpret the pilgrimage, the Sangheili gained more "honor" and the right to speak within the Star Alliance, and the Kirahani were promoted to the number two thugs in the Star Alliance. Got a snack.

Only the Grunts are still in a humble position as cannon fodder in the war against humans. Anyone in the Star Alliance can kick them, and even the ghost beasts and gnolls will roast them and eat them.

So after learning that the Star Alliance had forced the Star Alliance to appoint another kamikaze warrior in the history of the Star Alliance to resolve the crisis of the Grunt uprising, the Inquisition began to form the Star Alliance Liberation Army with those Grunt captives on the Reach Star. .

Of course, it is extremely irresponsible to kick these Grunts to the battlefield by directly giving them a rifle. Before teaching these Grunts combat skills, it is more important to teach them Thought remolding.

So after first transforming some Grunts into honorable Romans, the trial court began to gather some Grunts on a small scale, and tried some gnolls and ghost-faced beasts who usually liked to bully Grunts in front of them, and used those who mixed in Among them, the honorary Roman Grunts incited the atmosphere, and these Grunts who watched the trial began to accuse the tried gnolls and ghost-faced beasts of their crimes.

This atmosphere was quickly spread among the Grunts under the guidance of those honorary Roman Grunts, especially when the Inquisition publicly stated that these Grunts were coerced armed civilians and would not be like those in the Star Alliance. After the other members were tried that way.

This kind of differential treatment made the Grunts even more unpopular with ghost-faced beasts and gnolls in the prisoner-of-war camp. Although they looked peaceful in front of the UNSC guards, the Grunts were repelled and bullied behind their backs. It became more and more serious.

Until one day, a Grunt captive told the UNSC guards that his comrade-in-arms disappeared for no reason, and the UNSC guards found broken Grunt bones that had been roasted and gnawed under the barracks of a group of ghost-faced beasts.

The group of ghost-faced beasts were immediately arrested by the UNSC guards, and sent to the trial seat for a public trial, after which they were sentenced to death.

Conflict immediately erupted between the Grunt and the other Covenant prisoners.

The other Covenant captives, including the Sangheili, didn't think the death of a Grunt was a big deal. It was too much for these little things to have twelve Brutes shot for it.

What the Grunts did was also very simple. Later, in the public trials of Covenant officers organized by the Trial Court, Grunt witnesses began to appear.

When the old rift between the Grunts and the Covenant began to widen, of course what the Inquisition did was to intensify it.

These Grunts began to actively report and expose the war criminals that generally existed among these captives. In the later stage, the scope of the trial even expanded to those other Star Alliance members who bullied the Grunts even though they did not cause war crimes against humans. body.

And the united nature of the Grunts written in their DNA at this moment also allowed these Grunts to simply join the camp of Shinra, so the Trial Court established a Star Alliance Liberation Army dominated by Grunts from these captives.

And those captives who have gone through such a round of cleansing trials, and have not been pulled to the shooting range to eat guns or hang to dry on the gallows, have also ushered in what they absolutely do not want. Facing fate.

The Judgment Chamber edited the 343 evil spark edited by the cat car to be the successor of the forerunner for human beings, and the ring belt cannot make the user ascend to sainthood, on the contrary, it will only show the news that the smasher is completely ashesed from the molecular level to these captives before.

Then there was a flurry of nonsense, and many Sangheili people questioned that humans created fake videos to insult their beliefs, and then the trial court invited the gods who had just supervised the Logitechs to send the hamster cages to the Flood Prison The 343 Guilty Sparks.

After hearing that a living angel denied his belief and everything he had done, many Sangheili elite fighters chose to end their lives in their barracks that night, and the Tribunal also A plan was proposed to the remaining elite warriors of the Sangheili who seemed to have had their souls gutted.

A plan to avenge those prophets who were full of lies, the Inquisition will re-arm these Sangheili warriors, organize them into several punishment battalions of various sizes, and put them into the cruelest battlefield, using themselves and The blood of those stubborn enemies to wash away their guilt and shame.

When the Sangheili elite fighters also defected and entered the punishment camp, the gnolls, who are the best at adapting to the wind, also prepared to defect at random. Shinra, who had experience on the K7-49 asteroid, immediately accepted the surrender of these gnolls After distributing the same red breastplates to these gnolls, they were immediately packed and sent to the main force that was preparing to continue attacking the Star Alliance planets.

In the end, the only ones left in the Zhiyuan star prisoner-of-war camp are those Jilahani people who don't look very smart, but in fact most of them are not very smart, the so-called ghost-faced beasts.

Although these space orangutans who are also used as high-level cannon fodder in the Star Alliance are not consumed as much as ordinary ammunition like the Grunts, the treatment of these ghost-faced beasts is only gathered into forty. A strike team of orangutans, used to attack the most fortified positions of the UNSC.

And those Brute who survived UNSC's tenacious defense were not given the same honor as the Covenant gave to the Sangheili, but they were incorporated into the next assault team and continued to attack the UNSC position.

Usually the seers interpreted this privately to the Gerahani as cowardly Sangheili oppression against the fearless Gerahani.

The result of this is that the more intelligent part of the Jiralhani people, after being treated in this way, become the rebel exiles of the Covenant.

And in order to avoid another exile, the fighters sent to the Star Alliance by the Jiralhanis are all those who are relatively simple or those whose muscles have been trained to the brain.

So after the Grunts, Sangheilis, and even the Gnolls left the POW camp, these ghost-faced beasts who still remained in the POW camp lived their captive life as usual, even after the Sangheilis and Gnolls left. The empty prisoner-of-war camp can make them more happy and secretly happy.

Regarding these stubborn ghost-faced beasts who couldn't read their faces, the Tribunal had no idea of ​​attacking these ghost-faced beasts for the time being. After all, although these ghost-faced beasts were very edible, UEG still didn't lack this food.

Most of these ghost-faced beasts left in the prisoner-of-war camp after the big cleansing are those who just came out of the tribe with a hammer, and are going to use their own hammer to knock out a future for themselves. It doesn’t take much to raise them Money would also reassure the Grunts and Sangheilis who were training alongside.

Section 298 283

After ending the battle on the K7-49 asteroid, the cat car did not follow ONI's suggestion to go straight to the city of fraternity to end the war with a campaign.

Although UEG has announced its alliance with the Holy Roman Empire, and some high-level executives have been knocked over by ideological stamps, but after all, the current UEG is not like the SCP Foundation of Kopruu back then. The banner of democracy and freedom is to crusade against the thieves and independent husbands.

The Holy Roman Empire, which suddenly appeared on the verge of UEG's destruction this time, waved the banner of survivalism "shouting one country, one clan, one voice.", desperately suppressing the imperialist forces of the separatists.

Therefore, although both the cat car and UEG's local forces need the destruction of the Covenant, the cat car does not need the Star Alliance to be destroyed so quickly, because once UEG recovers from the brink of destruction, then these guys who were pulled back from the brink of destruction by the cat car, Then I will start to think about why cat cars can rule them. The repeated reincarnation of history has proved that the nature of the terrifying upright ape is just like this...unfathomable.

Even if cat carts can convert these instinctively duplicitous dreadful apes into reliable honorary romans, it will take time, one of the instincts of dreadful apes is to be skeptical, so if the conversion is done too aggressively , then it is very likely that Maoche will lose his loyal electorate.
