From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 252 "Imaging" of the Supreme Council's live broadcast dispute (two-in-one)

"Since our discovery of the Miracle (0459), the Sangheili have become increasingly out of control."

The prophet of truth looked at the glorious guards who were fulfilling their duties in the distance, paused, and continued to say to the prophet of sorrow and mercy beside him:
"In comparison, the Jiralhanae are more suitable to serve as our blades of power. As long as they are given appropriate benefits, they will be absolutely loyal.
Of course, their brains are really too low, even the Sangheili are smarter than them. "

"."

Hearing this, the Prophet of Sorrow remained silent.

"I don't care about the blade of power." The prophet of mercy glanced at the metal cube provided by the tranquil river bank from time to time, and then said angrily:

"But the Sangheili are really noisy these days! They dare to call the perfect creature created by the gods a bug!"

"Is not it?"

The Prophet of Truth glanced at the Prophet of Mercy and asked:

"If you were sent to a miracle and then allowed to be assimilated by the gods' creations, how would you feel?"

However, the prophet used coaxing techniques and used the excuse of "pilgrimage" to successfully attract the elites to act as thugs and annex and exterminate half of the racial civilizations in the galaxy.

The prophet of truth turned to look at the prophet of sorrow and said in a serious tone:
"I understand that you have a Sangheili fleet that is loyal to you, but my friend, can you guarantee that they will always be loyal to you?
Don’t forget, our ancestors relied on technology to barely suppress the Sangheili, and now they have our weapons and technology.

"."

"Okay." The Sorrowful Prophet had no objection.

In other words, the status of the elite is said to be second only to the prophet, but in fact, the elite has seriously threatened the prophet's right to rule.

"Not prepared? Haha, my friend, you are not as pedantic as I thought." Although the tone of the truth prophet was indifferent, the sarcasm was fully revealed.

Until they encountered the Prophet faction, which was inclined to use the Forerunner relics to obtain advanced technology through reverse engineering, the two sides had different ideas, and a race war broke out that lasted for more than seventy years on earth.

"They are indeed more suitable for control, but their violent and savage nature has too many unstable factors.

Although the Prophet of Truth's mouth is full of lies, it is true that the Sangheili have never forgotten the war between the two races.

If one day a very influential hero appears in Sangheili, but he has a grudge against the past, at that time, do you think the Sangheili fleet under your command will still be loyal to you? "

According to my observation, it has a good tactical and strategic mind, which can be cultivated more. "

"This is an honor for me, but I'm not ready yet."

The relationship between the two parties is extremely fragile and will fall apart if you are not careful.

A little silence.

Even if we maintain superficial stability and peace now, what about the future? There is no way to guarantee this at all.

The Prophet of Truth looked at the list of tens of thousands of Jiralhanae beasts and nodded thoughtfully.

The Prophet of Sorrow sighed and agreed: "When the Supreme Council begins, just as the Priest of Truth said, let's use Captain Luo Si Ze to warn the entire race.

"You did well, old friend."

Atreox and his Jiralhanae tribe were summoned to the City of High Charity to receive rewards for their merits in suppressing the rebellion.

"This" the prophet of mercy was stunned for a moment, then showed a slightly hesitant expression and replied:

On the home planet of the Sangheili/Elite, there are large creations left by the Forerunners, so the ancestors of the Elite also regard them as creations of the gods.

besides"

At this time, the Sorrowful Prophet suddenly said:

"The Jiralhanae have no honor to speak of."

In the end, the elites with backward technological level had no choice but to bow their heads to the prophet.

Therefore, the prophet of sorrow who knows the pros and cons, no matter how much he appreciates and affirms the ability of the elite family, has to agree with the theory of the prophet of truth——

The influence of the elite must be weakened until the elite are expelled from the Star Alliance.

Upon hearing these remarks, the Prophet of Sorrow fell silent again.

"so what?"

"Atriox, that silent fellow, I remember him."

After all, the dirty and tiring work is done by the elite.

At this stage, the elites and prophets created the prototype of the Covenant Empire.

The Prophet of Truth moved his fingers very lazily, dissipating the holographic screen in front of him, and said to the Prophet of Sorrow:

"Not bad, not bad." The Prophet of Mercy looked at Atreox's resume and commented in an old voice:
"You have become the captain of their tribe at a young age. You can really try to train them."

"I will prepare matters for the Supreme Council." The Prophet of Mercy offered.

"According to your ideas, on the grounds that you have defended the glory of the holy book, you should appropriately praise those young heroes."

As the Prophet of Truth spoke, he picked up the metal cube-shaped "guide" again and handed it to the oldest Prophet of Mercy, who was also the most devout to the forerunners, and added:

What's more, judging from the Jiralhanae's operation and use of advanced equipment and past wars, the fleets they are responsible for and command often suffer many times more casualties than the Sangheili. "

Having said this, the Prophet of Sorrow controlled the armrest of the wheelchair to bring up a holographic screen, and then continued:
"Also, these are the young heroes of the Jiralhanae tribe. Among them is a tribal captain named Atriox, who has carried out many suicide missions and successfully survived.

The Seer of Truth was deeply impressed by his calm appearance from beginning to end, and his taller and stronger body than ordinary Jiralhanae.

"Then leave it to you."

"You should do some research first, figure out how the director works, and see what's special about it.

When the meeting is convened, we can also use Luo Size's success in retrieving the gods' creations, which will be enough to offset their grievances. "

After saying that, the Prophet of Truth controlled its suspended wheelchair and left the island in the middle of the lake. Then, under the protection of a group of glory guards, it completely disappeared into the meditation square.

And the Prophet of Sorrow also chose to leave here.

The Prophet of Mercy was left looking out at the man-made lake and the view of the woods on the other side of the lake.

Immediately afterwards, it held up the guide with trembling hands, and said to itself with fiery eyes:
"Foolish juniors, power is important, but compared to Sheng Wei, it's just like children playing house.

Forget it
Bringing shame to the Sangheili clan will have no impact on my literary work. Let it be regarded as a test given by my god during the pilgrimage. "

3 month 19 day.

A full 26 hours have passed since Xiander and others left the jump space and arrived at the City of Charity.

The cosmic domain where the City of Charity is located is still extremely dark, with only ten thousand battleships and its hundred-kilometer-long "mushrooms" emitting dazzling purple light.

At this moment, in the main residential area of ​​the City of Charity;
"Punishment! Punishment! Punishment!"

"Luo Size must be sentenced to death!!" A large number of jackals gathered in the streets, which were also mainly painted in light purple, and shouted in their high-pitched, mean tones.

They paraded in the main area wearing thin clothing, and some even held up signs with slogans such as "The Sangheili are incompetent!" and "The Sangheili have insulted my god!"

A small number of unclear Gurus were also interspersed in the procession.

It's just that before you go very far, you will be pushed aside by the jackals next to you. Some of them will even punch and kick the grunts under their feet.

Although the residents who can live in the City of High Charity are among the most elite and devout members of the Covenant, no matter where they are, the Grunts will always be the lowest group.

Moreover, the marches and protests that broke out in the residential areas of the City of Brotherly Love were obviously organized and disciplined actions.

In addition, the Jackals were looked down upon and looked down upon by the elite due to the nature of their race, and the Covenant officials continued to publicize Xiandel's absence from duty, making this parade and protest a matter of course.

As for the elites who are supposed to ensure the stability of the living area, they are responsible for the Jiralhanae beasts wearing purple armor and holding punishment hammers.

"Ah!"

At this time, a Jiralhanae that was at least 2.9 meters tall glanced at the tower-like building behind it, the Supreme Parliament Building, with its peripheral vision, and couldn't help but smile at the compatriots beside it:
"Those skinny Sangheili never thought that they would end up like this, hahahahaha!"

The laughter was quite restrained at first, but when the Jiralhanae thought about the elite's "falling out of favor", it couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Pay attention." The other Jiralhanae standing next to him was much calmer:

"When we Jiralhanae are responsible for the defense work inside and outside the sanctuary, then it will be a day truly worthy of celebration."

"Yes, hahaha, but this does not affect my current joy!"

"Quiet—! Quiet—!"

Suddenly, the unique old voice of the Prophet of Mercy filled the neighborhood.

Hearing such a movement, the Jiralhanae, Grunts, Jackals, and a large number of races that were deformed to humans looked up.

It turned out to be a holographic screen in front of the main entrance of the Parliament Building, showing a live broadcast of the Supreme Council.

Inside the Supreme Council;

The lights here are dim, and the terraced seats on both sides are filled with prophets wearing gorgeous costumes and riding suspended wheelchairs, as well as elite members of parliament wearing bright silver armor. The crowns of their helmets can be described as huge.

At the front of the council hall are the three prophets of truth, pathos, and mercy who have the highest status in the Star Alliance and are regarded by all the people as the spokesmen of gods.

As for the reason why the Prophet of Mercy yelled for silence, it was because Siander, who had taken off his golden armor and was only wearing a one-piece combat uniform, was standing in the center of the parliament hall and said——

"The insects that are raging on the surface of Miracle are the gods. In other words, they are the culprits of the genocide of the Forerunners. They are not the creations of our gods at all!"

These remarks immediately plunged the parliament hall into noise.

The prophet councilman located on the left side of Zionder immediately retorted, saying, "That's a bunch of nonsense!"

"Heresy! This is heresy!",

"Captain Luo Si Ze! You have violated the Holy Code!! You will be punished with death!!" and so on.

Most of the elite members on the right side said, "The reason why Commander Luo Size said this must be under the guidance of a miracle!",

"Those things with twisted and deformed appearances are simply blasphemous. How could they be made by the hands of gods?"

"Let Captain Luo Si Ze finish!" and other words to protect our compatriots.

In order to humiliate Xiandel, the three ostrich prophets specially arranged a live broadcast for the entire empire.

The chaotic scene in front of them was actually within the expectations of the three of them. After all, only with disputes and debates would there be more "program" effect.

And Siander also "lived up to expectations" and indeed made heretical remarks.

So before the debate in the parliament hall further intensified and got out of control, the Prophet of Mercy took the opportunity to interrupt it.

Then, the Prophet of Truth looked down at Siander and said:

"Captain Luo Si Ze, you know that your remarks are equivalent to overturning the research of the Prophet of Mercy and all literary workers. If you follow Article 2 of the Second Doctrine of the Holy Scriptures"

Speaking of this, the truth prophet narrowed his eyes slightly, then opened them wide, changed the topic, and scolded extremely sharply:

"You and your men will be burned by fire! And your direct clan will also be exiled to the frontier!

What's more, your remarks have caused the entire Sangheili and even the entire empire to fall into disputes. It is really a disgrace to your honor! "

"What the truth priest said is absolutely true." At this time, the prophet of sorrow took over the words and said:
"Captain Luo Si Ze, although your personal behavior cannot represent all Sangheili, it still makes us doubt whether the Sangheili can continue to fight for the empire and the gods.

We can even use this to guess whether all Sangheili captains, lieutenants and generals will become as insane as you?

This is really a big hidden danger for the empire, and even the pilgrimage will be seriously hindered! "

"That's right!"

"Luo Si Ze deserves to be executed!"

As the words of the prophet of truth and sorrow fell, all the prophet-councillors echoed.

The elite congressmen all looked embarrassed, because once they supported Xiander, they might be labeled as "heresies".

After all, the Star Alliance at this stage all acts in accordance with the so-called Holy Code.

Even the Glory guards responsible for the order in the hall all had solemn expressions, and some of the guards looked at Xiandel with angry eyes, thinking that what he had done had brought shame on the entire elite.

"Dear priests and councilors!"

While the elites present were in a passive situation, Xiandel spoke loudly:
"Can I control the guide and point out the specific coordinates of the sacred ring to the empire?"

And he also looked at the Prophet of Mercy and said with a smile: "I guess the Priest of Mercy hasn't figured out how to call up the star map."

"can."

The Prophet of Mercy did not object, and waved his right hand, signaling the Glory Guards to send the metal cube to Xiandel:
"If you can help the empire find the sacred ring, the Supreme Council may consider giving you and your subordinates lenient treatment."

The Prophet of Mercy did not succeed in bringing up the star map, but it did not believe that Xiandel was capable of forgery. After all, not even the church could imitate such a level of equipment, let alone a fleet commander.

"my pleasure."

Siander bowed and saluted, his tone was respectful, but his eyes revealed sarcasm.

After he took the guide, he lightly touched the top of the guide with his left index finger and easily unlocked some kind of biological induction lock.

Then--

A miniature star map reflecting the entire Milky Way was presented to everyone. In addition,
"Apu", who is wearing a black uniform and has long hair, also uses the Forerunner's holographic technology to be imaged next to Xiandel.
