From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 272 "Friendly Construction and Development between Humans and Sangheili" The consequences of cursing people have arrived
! !
The moment the elite councillors in the central square witnessed the radiance of psychic energy, many images emerged in their minds.

One hundred thousand years ago, there was the story of Tranquil Riverbank, when the Forerunners were still prosperous as the dominant force in the galaxy. There was also a war between the ancient humans and the ancient prophets and the Flood, and then there was the showdown between the Forerunners and the Flood.

Ultimately, the Forerunners' defenses were on the verge of total collapse due to the rebellion of the AI ​​Biased Monk.

After paying a heavy price, the Halo Array was successfully activated, bringing peace back to the Milky Way.

Afterwards, the Forerunner's artificial intelligence began to operate according to the established procedures, using "3D printing" technology to mass-produce and replicate all the species information stored in advance, allowing life in the Milky Way to flourish again.

Judging from these events alone, the technological level of the Forerunners was far beyond the imagination of ordinary civilizations, and they can indeed be regarded as "gods".

At the same time, the fact that the Forerunners designated humans as the Returners, the scene of Sui Yang opening the space gate, and the scene of Atlas joining forces with Terra to fight against the Moido believers and orcs also appeared in the minds of the elite councilors.

When the congressmen's vision returned to normal -

Boom! Boom!

The sound of fire burning the body.

"Ow!!!"

There were also the painful howls of the elite, echoing between the central square and the nearby streets.

? ?
When some of the congressmen came to their senses, they found that their former colleagues and the elite soldiers who were among the "people" were actually wrapped in golden flames.

When the golden flames gradually died down, his former colleagues and elite soldiers had turned into charred corpses.

! !
After being surprised, the remaining councillors and all the elites looked at Sui Yang, whose pupils were still emitting golden light.

After all, the only one who could create such an effect is the giant.

Moreover, the six Primarchs and all the Astartes present were immediately put on alert.

Especially Vulkan, who was almost the same height as Sui Yang and holding a giant frost hammer, stepped forward and looked down at the elite councilors.

"My Lord, what is this?"

The current situation made Ziondel a little confused.

However, this elite commander believed that Sui Yang definitely had his reasons for doing this, and he was not like the prophet who wanted to "kill the donkey after it has served its purpose".

"The guy who was burned by the fire just wanted to make some noise while we were relaxed." Sui Yang explained calmly.

As he spoke, he approached Siondel under the protection of his primarch's sons, raised his left hand slightly and placed it on his shoulder, saying with a smile:
“But I have seen through their thoughts and ideas. Moreover, I don’t want the City of Brotherly Love, which has just been stabilized, to fall into chaos again.

So I just solved the hidden danger. Relax, Captain Luo Si Ze."

Before Sui Yang arrived at the square, he discovered that half of the elite councilors were dissatisfied with what Ziondel had done, and did not agree to let "a mere human" serve as a priest.

Therefore, these elite parliamentarians secretly summoned nearly 10,000 confidants, including some extremely powerful berserkers and front-line generals.

They knew how powerful the Primarchs and Astartes were, but their own confidants were no less powerful.

The elite veteran was indeed completely defeated in a one-on-one fight with the Astartes, but in a three-on-one or five-on-one fight, they should have a very high chance of winning.

However, they knew that the Primarch could not be defeated by massive tactics, so they prepared to have their trusted men fight back by "self-destruction".

Finally, it is necessary to get rid of the human leader whom Ziondel calls "my lord".

Furthermore, the elite parliamentarians had already removed themselves from the assassination plan, so even if it failed, they would not be involved in it on the spot.

Unfortunately, Sui Yang “heard” the psychological activities of this group of parliamentarians clearly.

What's more, Fulgrim, Angron and Riemann had already realized the secret arrangements of this group of senators before Sui Yang arrived in the City of High Charity.

In fact, Apu's copy data also collected relevant hard evidence.

After reporting the situation to their father, Sui Yang simply replied, "Ignore it for now."

Because the deterrent effect of "execution" in public is much more obvious than the effect of prior processing.

At this time, Ziondel, who understood the whole story, still blamed himself:

"It was my negligence that put my Lord in danger."

"No problem." Sui Yang retracted his left hand and continued to walk towards the Parliament Building, saying:

"Improve your strategic and tactical qualities, Captain Luo Si Ze. In the future, you will be the commander of the Sangheili tribe."

"Yes, my lord."

Ziondel nodded in agreement, and reminded the congressmen around him who were looking at him with astonishment and fear:
"Don't be stupid, hurry up! There are still prophets and Jiralhanae waiting for us to solve them together!"

"."

Hearing this, the remaining members of the parliament were glad that they had made the right choice, and then they remained silent and headed towards the parliament building to discuss the subsequent war and the alliance between humans and elites.
In other words, it is a matter of the integration of elites into the human system.

at the same time.

Four Teruki-class dreadnoughts released a beam matrix in the shape of a cube "□", providing comprehensive protection for the Atlas fleet.

Moreover, the beam secondary guns of the Terakuju-class accurately penetrated the energy shields of nearly a hundred CCS-class battlecruisers and destroyed their main engines.

Immediately afterwards, Atlas combined a large number of transport planes and transport boats to prepare to forcibly board the ship and carry out operations to capture and control the crew and the captain.

Because according to the information provided by Apu's copied data, the captains of these nearly 100 CCS-class ships were all close confidants of the congressmen who had become charred corpses.

Even if the opponent did not launch an attack, the Atlas fleet still destroyed the opponent's counterattack capability just to be on the safe side.

In order to avoid further misunderstanding, when the four Sojourner-class ships released the light matrix and carried out precise attacks, Apu released the documents, images and some evidence of the congressman's assassination intention.

Elite captains and commanders are said to understand human behavior, but they will have some dissatisfaction and resistance in their hearts.

Atlas was also prepared for this.

After all, during the discussions in the Capitol, Sui Yang, as the owner of Atlas, would propose an agreement on "friendly construction and development between humans and Sangheili."

It is true that the elites are a fighting nation, and it is also true that their technological strength has been greatly enhanced after being forced to join the Star Alliance.

However, due to cultural decline and stagnation of soft industries, the living standards of the elites remain similar to those of the early twentieth century in the main universe, in a state of coexistence of "new and old".

Therefore, Atlas not only wants to reach "in-depth cooperation" with the elites in the military field, but also wants to finalize detailed cooperation plans with the elites in construction, development and other projects.

If everything goes well, the elite's home planet "Xiangfeioli" will welcome a large number of Hextech robots and an engineering and technical team composed of humans and dwarves.

In this way, the original desolate environment and low living standards of Xiangfiori will be effectively improved.

By then, even if those elite captains and commanders are dissatisfied with the attacks of the Sojourner-class, their dissatisfaction will disappear after seeing the changes.

Looking back at the Eridana galaxy.

Looking down at Eridana C in the second orbit from the space area tens of thousands of kilometers above the earth's surface and observing it with the naked eye, the colony still looks like a desolate desert planet.

However, in the low-Earth orbit of Eridana C, there are more than a dozen old-style frigates and destroyers of the "UNSC".

But the words "Freedom and Liberation" were printed on both sides and the belly of the ships, indicating that this fleet belonged to the radical rebels of the galaxy.

Soon, the fleet released several Pelicans and an old transport boat and headed into the atmosphere. Following the transport fleet into the atmosphere, we reached the surface at dawn and continued to descend.
After a while, the transport fleet arrived at the city of Costia, which had an orbital elevator, and flew straight to the base in the suburbs.

Wait for the Pelican and the transport boat to release their landing gear and land in the desert outside the base.

clatter! Da da! !
Boom! Boom!

The sporadic gunfire, artillery fire and explosions coming from the base also became clearer.

The hatch opens—

"1st, 2nd, and 4th Combat Platoons, follow me into the base for support. The 3rd Combat Platoon will protect the vehicles and pilots here, and help our friendly forces get rid of that crazy bitch!"

A major issued the combat order.

"Yes!"

The rebels, wearing desert-colored combat uniforms and equipped with similar individual equipment to the UNSC Marines, immediately followed orders.

However.
"How dare you call me a bitch?!"

However, accompanied by a roar, a "figure" leaped out of the base, jumped over the barbed wire, and landed not far in front of the group of rebels.

tread!
When the "human figure" touched the ground with both feet, a large amount of sand and dust was blown up.

!!!

"Kill her!"

Seeing this, the major who was rushing in the front quickly raised the MA5B equipped with armor-piercing bullets in his hand and pulled the trigger at the figure in the middle of the dust.

The same is true for the rebels.

Ding~! Ding!

But whether it is a rifle bullet or a machine gun bullet, when it hits the person, it will only make a feedback sound of hitting "metal".

Then, facing the firepower of an entire reinforced company, the man still steadily approached the rebel major standing at the forefront.

As the dust cleared, the rebels finally saw the man's appearance clearly.
That is the "ragged" and well-proportioned Maggie Shaw.

In the twenty-four hours before this group of reinforced companies of the rebels had to leave the fleet and arrive on the surface to provide support, this superhuman investigator had already eliminated several combat platoons and combat companies with his bare hands.

The defensive forces in the base held out for only a moment before losing contact with the outside world.

Upon learning that the "recruit camp" where the Neptune hostages were held had been attacked by unknown armed men, the regular rebel forces stationed in Costia City responded quickly and rushed to provide support.

But the result remains the same.

Conventional weapons are simply unable to break through Maggie's defense.

Although the Liberation Army deployed a large number of infantry and armored units, it failed to retake the base, which was mainly used to train new recruits.

What made the Liberation Army even more angry was that they did not dare to carry out naval gun and missile bombing on the base.

Because she was originally their hostage, now she has become Maggie's "bargaining chip" that allows her to be fearless.

If they use the electromagnetic cannons mounted on frigates and destroyers to kill Maggie, resulting in heavy casualties among the hostages on the Neptune, then Liberation will face condemnation from other factions of the rebels, as well as substantial retaliation from the UNSC and UEG.

This is not the situation that Liberation wants to see.

Second
What on earth is Maggie?
The fact that its skin could withstand 7.62mm and .50cal ammunition, and even machine guns and tank main guns without any damage, made Liberation extremely confused.

Therefore, we have to send combat units to fight them every once in a while and obtain more data to find ways to kill them effectively.

Moreover, some senior officials privately cursed the task force responsible for hijacking the Neptune.

Is it a bad idea to start the day before yesterday or tomorrow?

Do you have to pick a flight with an "unknown creature" disguised as a human? ?

This time.

Leon and Mike, who were in the base command building, were observing the battle scenes outside the base through surveillance cameras.

Maggie used her face to withstand the close-range continuous fire from the MA5B and broke the major's hand bones with one punch. Then, she rushed into the rebel gathering area and eliminated the machine gunner and grenadier first.

Then, the pilot seemed to realize something was wrong and hurriedly tried to get the Pelican airborne again.

But Maggie bent her knees and jumped, entering the cabin from the rear of the open door.

Then, the Pelican lost control and made an emergency landing in the desert outside the base.

When Maggie kicked open the sealed window of the cab, she faced the stunned rebels alone and continued to yell:
"This is what happens when you like to curse others!!"

After yelling, Maggie rushed into the crowd again.

"Forehead"

Seeing Maggie's one-man army performance through the surveillance camera, Mike couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said to Leon with emotion:
"Fortunately, the two of us have taken good care of her. If she gets angry, no one can beat her except the boss and his sons."

"should be"

Leon nodded in agreement.

Although Maggie had shown her skills when she infiltrated Arcadia, she acted alone, so the two of them had never witnessed Maggie's "letting go" side.

look now
Maggie's close combat and body defense seem to be no less than Homelander, who was transformed into a weapon by the Biology Department.

Beep-beep-.

Suddenly, the control panel in front of them issued a communication reminder.

Leon took the lead in operating and connected the communication, and then the console showed Melissa.
To be precise, it is a holographic image of Melissa's copy data.

"You two, the company's fleet is about to reach the low-Earth orbit of Eridana C."

Upon hearing this, Mike replied, "Understood. We have already marked the enemy and our friends, and uploaded the location where the hostages are being held."

"Okay, both of you, please get ready." Melissa gave the reminder and ended the holographic communication.

Mike said to Leon: "Tsk tsk, artificial intelligence
I heard that the company has already put synths into the 09 universe (cyberpunk), I really hope the day when the civilian version will be launched will come soon. "

"."

Leon glanced at his good friend.

Maybe it was the appearance of Melissa that made Mike have such "wild ideas" about his future life.

Leon didn't think too much about it and didn't talk to Mike. He opened the automatic door and came to the outer observation deck of the command building.

Looking up at the gradually brightening sky, I soon saw a "vortex" of light with a diameter of ten kilometers.

This means that the fleet consisting of the Sojourn-class, Paris-class and Feddes-class ships has successfully escaped from the jump space and reached the low-Earth orbit of Eridana C.
