From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 289 "The Legion's Future Treatment" Situation Transition
"Establish an empire?"

Athena was a little confused. This was the first time she knew this information.

"That's right." Corax agreed.

“Lieutenant Athena, please be sure to control your words and actions.

Although the Engineering Department has started the construction of the Imperial Palace in the ruins base of the main universe, as of now, the establishment of an empire is still a relatively confidential project within Atlas.

If it leaks out from your mouth to the outside world, then my brother and I don't mind personally carrying out the execution."

“Of course I understand.”

Athena was slightly angry, but she didn't show it too much.
Dare to be angry but dare not speak.

Yes, she is a god, but gods have to bow their heads under the eaves.

Olympus had fallen long ago, and the rise of humanity, especially humanity with the Primarchs in charge, made Athena realize that the age of the gods was ultimately a passing cloud.

Moreover, even the physical physique and divine power (psychic energy) of the Primarch are far beyond her level, so how strong would Sui Yang, as the father of the Primarch, be?

Athena knew all about Sui Yang's deeds and had read about Sui Yang's personal battle to destroy Moyido, but she had never seen Sui Yang in person.

After all, ever since she was rescued by Atlas, she has been on standby in the main universe, while Sui Yang is in the 08 (Halo) universe, presiding over the affairs of the Human Elite Alliance.

"Lieutenant Athena."

At this time, Mortarion ordered her again:
“Under your influence, the UNSC Sixth Army Division chose to temporarily cooperate with the company to deal with the chaos raging in Mombasa.

Now, please ask the lieutenant to lead your Arbiter Squad to continue to contact the 6th Army Division and try to make them switch sides to the company camp or remain neutral.
If the other party chooses to follow the instructions of the UNSC's top brass, then they will directly dismantle the Sixth Army Division's headquarters. As the goddess of war, I think you should not need to give too many instructions."

"learn."

Athena nodded in agreement.

Then, she led a group of Greek demi-gods under her command and headed towards the southern suburbs where the main force of the 6th Army Division was located.

Mortarion once again ordered Cortana: "Cortana, can you lock on to the UNSC's current command center?"

"Searching in progress," Cortana's voice came over the comms.

After waiting for a while, the smart AI with the strongest computing power responded:
"The command level of the UNSC Naval Operations Department has been located. It is currently located in the 017 orbital space station on the sunlit side and is being escorted by the 3rd Defense Fleet."

"Very good." Mortarion paused for half a second, as if he had quickly organized his thoughts, and said:

"Notify the captain of the Warrior's Sorrow to immediately reenter the atmosphere and anchor fifty nautical miles east of Mombasa.

Then, as we entered the atmosphere, we dispatched a transport plane to pick up me, Corax, and all the Astartes and elite veterans.

As for the Sojourn-class and the two Paris-class ships, they continued to deal with the UNSC's naval fleet without having to worry about casualties among the 08 humans.

Until now, everything has been based on destroying the UNSC's command hierarchy and demonstrating the company's absolute strength.

In addition, notify the company troops and biological weapons on standby in the Eridana star system to use the Ark to transport to the branch base to assist the investigators in completely controlling the Mombasa city area. "

At this point, Mortarion's tone darkened:
“Remember, taking control of the Mombasa urban area means pacifying and settling the surviving people and making them staunch supporters of the company.

Only by gaining the support of the people can we truly control Mombasa and even the entire 08 Earth.

By the way, while you are controlling the Sojourner-class, please be sure to pay attention to the tactical and strategic weapons developments of the UNSC.

If they are pushed too far, they are likely to use nuclear bombs or hydrogen bombs on Mombasa to achieve the goal of destroying Mombasa.”

"Yes."

Cortana still gave a brief promise, and when Mortarion gave the order, she had already begun to make arrangements.

Seeing that Mortarion had ended the call, Corax pretended to be surprised and said with emotion:

"Brother, you have made some progress recently. You are not as dull as before."

"Don't tease me." Mortarion glanced at Corax, then closed his helmet and looked up at the clear night sky of Mombasa.
"After spending so long with Fulgrim and his men, you must have earned some merits. This has something to do with the future treatment of our legion.

After the empire is established, my father will pay more attention to you and me, so as to shut up the other brothers and avoid infighting."

"The empire is established. Haha, I hope that day will come soon."

Corax groaned and closed his helmet as well.

----

Low Earth orbit at this time;
Ri~——咻——! !

A matrix of cyan light beams shone in the space about four hundred kilometers away from Mombasa.

Boom. Boom!!

The target of the beam matrix was the UNSC defense fleet, which was experiencing a series of explosions.

Among them, more than 70% of the warships are frigates similar in appearance to Charon and Paris, and the rest are mostly destroyers whose size and tonnage are between frigates and cruisers.

The defense fleet, which had a total of more than a hundred warships, suffered heavy losses because of "only" four Atlas ships of various levels.

Half of the ships' engines had been shut down and they were drifting in low-Earth orbit. Three destroyers also exploded after ejecting a large number of escape pods, causing a massive explosion that was enough to light up the universe.

The main thing is that Atlas has only four warships, whose overall technological level is completely superior to all UNSC ships.

Putting aside the ten-kilometer-long Sojourner-class ships, which are considered the ceiling of the physical universe, the two Paris-class ships that have been modified by Atlas and equipped with magnetic field shifting devices and energy shield generators can fight against eight UNSC ships of the same specifications.

What's more, the improved Paris-class frigate has its regular speed enhanced, which can better assist the Navigation-class in launching attacks.

The CCS-class battlecruiser, Warrior's Sorrow, was crushing the UNSC cruisers.

After all, the CCS-class is the main battleship of the Star Alliance, with the most mature technological support, and its speed, defense and firepower are guaranteed.

of course
The reason why the Paris-class and CCS-class have remained strong until now is due to the strength of the Souk-class.

After the Nagazu-class used the beam matrix of its main guns, the UNSC defense fleet was completely defeated and unable to organize an effective counterattack or evasion.

At this stage, the humans in Halo have never considered defensive beam weapons when building ships.

For example, the armor thickness of the Charon-class frigate is only a "pitiful" 60 centimeters.

The 60-cm-thick α-titanium alloy armor is indeed very effective in resisting conventional weapons, but it is a drop in the bucket when facing the beam attacks of Forerunner technology.

Therefore, Atlas can easily crush a hundred ships with just four of them.

Ri~——咻——! !

At this moment, the Sojourner-class released the matrix beam again.

However, this time the beam attack did not cause much damage to the UNSC defense fleet. It was more like a "feint", forcing the defense fleet to continue to retreat and distance themselves. In fact, the Hibiki-class was providing a beam barrage for the Warrior's Sorrow to cover.

When the UNSC defense fleet was forced to evacuate far away due to fear of the Sojourner-class, the Warrior's Death took advantage of this opportunity, proactively raised its energy shield, and accelerated towards the sea within the atmosphere.

The first moment after entering the atmosphere, the Warrior's Sorrow opened the engine room at the belly of the ship.

A large number of "U"-shaped and beetle-shaped transport boats passed through the plasma gas valves that were flashing with purple light and flew towards the city of Mombasa.

----

the southern suburbs of Mombasa;

This is a gathering place for low-income groups. The building facilities and public transportation systems are very backward. It is a slum in the old city.

However, it is precisely because it is located on the edge that it becomes a relatively quiet and safe zone when strange phenomena occur.

At this moment, a large number of citizens fleeing from the new urban area have poured into the southern suburbs.

The streets and blocks are packed with people.

Fortunately, the soldiers from the UNSC Sixth Army Division took on the responsibilities of the Mombasa Police Station, maintained order at the scene, and arranged for medical soldiers to treat the wounded.

At the same time, there are more than a dozen young Astartes belonging to the Flame Lizards.

These "giant" young men, who are only 17 or 8 years old, are also using the auxiliary system of the Titanium I power armor to provide certain assistance to the citizens.

For example, the pulse scanning function can be used to arrange suitable resting places for citizens with limited mobility or injuries.

Of course, the Flame Lizards, who have rich knowledge reserves, can also treat the wounded.

Among them was Yang Yan, who broke into the subway and killed the corrupt SWAT police.

In the neighborhood park;
The 2.4-meter-tall giant young man was kneeling on one knee, checking the sprained left ankle of an old woman.

The little girl he had rescued earlier was sitting on the side of the slide, holding her teddy bear, and looking at Yang Yan with interest.

"It's okay, it's not a big problem." After confirming that the old woman just had a common sprain, Yang Yan stood up and said:
"The crisis in Mombasa has been resolved, so it's best to reduce movement and rest for five Earth Days, and you should be able to recover."

"Okay, thank you so much for troubling you."

The old woman thanked him with a smile on her face.

Moreover, this 70-year-old man did not seem to be afraid of the Flame Lizard, which was a little too tall. Instead, he looked at her kindly and said:
"Thank goodness for being here, young man, otherwise an old man like me would have been left dead in the wilderness, haha."

"Protecting humans is the duty of us Flame Lizards. No need to thank me." Yang Yan also smiled.

Then, he turned his head to look at the slide beside him, raised his left hand, extended his index finger, carefully patted the top of the girl's head, and said:

"Remember to listen to your mother, don't make trouble, and don't run around."

"I know," the girl nodded a little embarrassedly.

"."

Yang Yan didn't say anything else. He just closed his helmet, held the bolt rifle tightly, and headed towards the nearest meeting point according to the guidance of the slightly shrunken radar.

Looking at Yang Yan's back, the girl seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

Maybe he wants to ask the Flame Lizard some questions, or maybe he simply doesn't want the Flame Lizard to leave.

It was because of Yang Yan's escort that she, her mother, and a group of citizens were able to safely pass through the subway and reach the southern suburbs.

And when Yang Yan was preparing to return to Mombasa, Mortarion and Corax had already joined forces to eliminate the Great Demon Tzeentch and directly resolve the Chaos incident.

So Yang Yan and a dozen of his brothers stayed in the southern suburbs for the time being.

During this period, soldiers from the UNSC 6th Army Division also arrived at the scene, but the other side did not have any conflict with them.

After all, a small number of soldiers are local people in Mombasa, and there are many family members and relatives among the citizens, so the soldiers of the 6th Army Division have a certain gratitude towards the Flame Lizards.

However, the soldiers also have "self-knowledge".

Although the Flame Lizards look like good guys and rarely get angry, once they draw their swords against each other, the soldiers will be unable to put up an effective resistance.

Even with the presence of an armored battalion and the assistance of the Scorpion main battle tank, a dozen Flame Lizards, including Yang Yan, were enough to complete a "no-damage sweep."

Therefore, the UNSC Sixth Army Division, which received orders from its superiors, continued to maintain peace with the Flame Lizards.

Once Athena and the Greek demi-gods had rushed to the southern suburbs, the Sixth Army Division "let nature take its course," choosing to openly disobey orders from the command hierarchy.

On the one hand, they were afraid of Athena's deterrence, and another reason was that the grassroots soldiers of the 6th Army Division witnessed the entire Mombasa incident and therefore could not stab her in the back.

On the other hand, Yang Yan and more than a dozen Flame Lizards gathered in an open space near the coastline.

Soon, a beetle-shaped transport boat built by the Star Alliance but painted black appeared in the visual field of Yang Yan and others.

Then, the elite pilot controlled the transport boat and landed smoothly in the center of the open space.

After Yang Yan and his companions entered the cabin, the elite pilot controlled the transport boat to take off and headed towards the Warrior's Sorrow, which was dozens of kilometers away.

At the same time, transport boats carrying Mortarion, Corax, young Astartes and elite veterans also left Mombasa.

They formed a transport formation in the air and were escorted by Banshee fighter jets, which were also piloted by elite pilots.

It didn't take long.

The entire transport fleet returned to the hangar of the Warrior's Sorrow.

And at this moment in the bridge;
"Captain!" A silver-armored elite serving as a communications officer loudly reported to the gold-armored captain sitting in the main seat:
"All combat units have returned to the hangar."

Upon hearing this, the helmsman also reported in time: "Captain, the target has been locked, and we can start the jump voyage directly."

"Ah!" Hearing the words of the communications officer and the helmsman, the captain of the golden armor moved his four-petal mouth and waved his hand:
"Make the jump immediately!"

"Yes!"

While the helmsman responded loudly, he was also using the control panel in front of him to prepare for the jump.

The next second, the holographic screen showed a dark purple transition vortex unfolding in the atmosphere.

And when the Warrior's Sorrow entered the jump space and the jump vortex closed at the moment, it released a strong pulse in the atmosphere.

However, the high altitude where the Warrior's Sorrow is located will not have any impact on Mombasa, which is dozens of kilometers away.

As for the jump target
It is the 017 orbital space station on the sunlit side of the Earth in "Halo".

It was precisely because the Warrior's Sorrow carried out a jump voyage within the atmosphere that the UNSC's 3rd Defense Fleet was unable to adjust its angle for a while, and had to "watch helplessly" as the 017 Orbital Space Station was about to be forcibly boarded by a large number of transport boats.
