Chapter 601 Hey, this trick is called luring the enemy away (please vote)
The Covenant, the City of High Charity.
As the most famous city in the Halo world, this giant city that resembles a super-large mushroom will be conquered and destroyed by the man known as the strongest man on the surface in the future.
But aside from Master Chief John-117’s protagonist aura, the City of High Charity has the strongest defense system and city defense forces in the current universe.
You must know that the City of High Charity is actually a huge battleship of the Forerunners - the Dreadnought.
The City of High Charity is the ruins of the Forerunner battleship discovered by the Prophet. It is shaped like a giant mushroom-shaped mobile city with a diameter of 348 kilometers and can perform space jumps.
As the political center of the Covenant, the city has the largest Covenant fleet in history to perform patrol and garrison missions.
Once there are foreign ships that cannot quickly report their belongings, they will open fire without hesitation. Not just space vehicles, any approaching object larger than a fist will be quickly targeted and destroyed.
This city is so well-defended because it is the center and birthplace of the Covenant's faith and the relics of the Forerunners.
It is a pity that this treasure mountain is restricted by the Covenant Faith Prophet and has not been fully developed.
At this moment, in this huge space city, a super-large-scale sacrificial event to the gods is being held once every ten years.
During this time, you can see the 3-meter-tall Jiralhanae soldiers disembarking from the ship and kowtowing devoutly towards the Forerunner ruins.
Jiralhanae have average IQs, and their race belongs to the strong patriarch system. Their original name is Jiralhanae. Because the gravity of the planet they live on is twice that of the human world, they have a weight of more than 500 kilograms and a height of at least 2.8 meters.
The Jiralhanae has powerful defense capabilities, and even small human kinetic energy weapons cannot break through its defenses.
These Jiralhanae are the most urban and honest warriors, worshiping the Forerunner civilization as gods.
In addition to Jiralhanae, you can also see the Sangheili tribe (elite tribe) who are very difficult to deal with.
After the Elite failed in the battle with the Sansiyum Tribe (Prophet), the two tribes reached a reconciliation and created the Star Alliance. The Elite Tribe has since been the military leader of the Star Alliance and the only non-Prophet race in the Supreme Council, and the only one allowed to build on its own
The race that commands the starship, although the crew is often composed of members of other races.
At this moment, these Sangheili tribe maintain a good cooperative relationship with the Prophet family of the Star Alliance, and are not yet an important driver of the destruction of the Star Alliance in the future.
However, the conflict between the elites and the Jiralhanae has always been an issue that is difficult to reconcile within the Covenant.
The Jiralhanae have a huge hatred against the Sangheili. Their dreams are very simple. One is to be loyal and fear the gods, and the other is to provoke the Sangheili tribe and become the most powerful dog under the prophet.
In addition to the two races that are frequently seen, other low-level races within the Covenant can also be found.
Such as Grunts, Jackals, Hunters, and Soldiers. Most of these races belong to the cannon fodder level. Although they operate laser guns and plasma weapons, their physiological characteristics and intelligence limit their performance.
In this city, you can also find many engineer races.
The engineer race is a race created by the Forerunners. They do not have as many emotions as intelligent creatures, and they like to stay with machines most of the time.
If humans capture them, they can also be used by themselves.
On this day, a Sangheili joint command warship docked at the airport of the City of High Charity.
As elite warriors of various races cleared the way and military music was playing, Tirvadami, the supreme commander of the Sangheili clan's fleet, stepped out of the spaceship.
Looking at the miraculous City of Fraternity, he felt fervent worship and awe in his heart.
Until a young prophet came up and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, the Minister of Fortitude has been waiting for a long time. He is eager to know if the fleet has made any new discoveries recently."
Hearing that he was the Minister of Perseverance, Thirvadami showed a hint of respect on his dark lizard face: "Please wait until I finish my work and salute."
Although the Minister of Fortitude is respected, he must complete the necessary prayer rituals.
Thirvadami arranged his neat and bright armor, and then solemnly worshiped the statue of their faith, the Forerunner.
Every time they come to the City of Charity, the elites will worship the gods of life. As a forerunner fanatic, Thirlvadami can purify the soul during worship, so that the heart that is suffering from war fever can also gain temporary peace.
After the tedious ceremony, he followed the young prophet race to find the minister of perseverance.
By the way, this resolute minister was the guy who would become the prophet of truth decades later.
This madman who insists on activating halo weapons and activating miracles but does not know the truth is in good spirits at the moment.
When he saw Thirvadami arriving, he immediately laughed loudly and said, "Good day, Thirvadami."
"Good day, Lord Oud, I wonder why you are looking for me?" Thirvadami saluted the wily prophet and waited for his instructions.
For tens of thousands of years, the Prophet and the Sangheili have been getting along like this.
"Tirvadami, how is the progress of the recent exploration of miracles?"
"Lord Oud, no miracles have been detected in recent years. Our seeker fleet is preparing to expand the scope of exploration and explore other spiral galaxies."
"Well, you have worked hard. The miracles wandering in the universe have been ravaged by time and cosmic storms. We find these places and keep them safe and enshrine them. This is also the responsibility given to us by the gods."
Thirvadami immediately beat her chest and agreed with the words of the resolute minister Oded.
After saying this, Odd's voice changed: "A holy month ago, the Jackal exploration warship detected a high-density electromagnetic signal in the 26th barred spiral arm galaxy area, suspected of discovering the existence of civilization. Your fleet can go here to investigate
For a moment. Then, the fleet mysteriously disappeared. What surprised the command even more was the time and location before and after the disappearance of the Jackal Planet."
A huge star map appeared in front of Thirvadhami.
Looking at the star map, Thirvadami discovered that the range explored by the Jackals was very large, as high as 500 light years, and it only took 3 days.
"They appeared at a distance of 500 light-years in three days? How did they disappear?"
You must know that the current range of activities of the Covenant is only 5,000 light-years, not even one-thirtieth of the Milky Way, and the information provided by the Jackals and the final missing location are too general. They need at least dozens of holy
Years of exploration.
This is still a rough exploration!
"This is what makes us curious. The jackals are very smart and their technology is not bad. Their last news said that they discovered super frequent electromagnetic signals, and then suddenly lost their traces. They reappeared 500 light years away.
Outside. So, this is a difficult task! We must explore the anomalies around here."
"Promise to complete the mission! Dear Lord Oud, I will notify the exploration fleet to explore this area later!"
They are proud and militant Sangheili, never afraid of a challenge.
This is also one of the reasons why the prophet family can take advantage of them.
Hearing Thirvadami's agreement, Odd's beast eyes showed a touch of satisfaction and praise: "Very good, Thirvadami is worthy of being the God of War in Sangheili. If it is found to be a civilized galaxy, the weak ones will be exterminated directly to pay tribute.
God."
Thirvadhami beat her chest and agreed with the other party's opinion.
The Covenant's treatment of strange civilizations can be divided into several categories.
The first is to destroy weak and worthless civilizations.
The second is to destroy civilizations with different belief systems.
The third type is a weak civilization that can be absorbed, conquered, and shares the same origin.
However, the weak civilizations absorbed must accept the Covenant's beliefs, adjust their industrial production lines, and send a large number of young adults for the Covenant to conquer the universe.
In short, joining the Star Alliance is not something you can do casually.
You have to be valuable!
It has only been 100,000 years since the Forerunners were destroyed, and 100,000 years have passed since the last time the Halo was activated. This 100,000 years is not a long time for the Milky Way.
There are not many races in the Milky Way galaxy today, and the Covenant today can be regarded as the most powerful race in the Milky Way.
"The Sangheili family has always been the pride of the Star Alliance. The 500-light-year exploration range is very broad. I will also mobilize ten exploration warships for you to drive."
Hearing that a subordinate accepted the command, Thirvadami's lizard eyes showed excitement: "Lord Aude, please rest assured, I will complete the task beautifully!"
"The gods bless you and the warriors in your triumphant victory."
"The gods are with us!"
After another round of politeness, Thirvadami and the current Minister of Fortitude Oded went to taste a special meat dinner, and then attended several cocktail parties and parties, where everyone fought, which added a lot of excitement.
pleasure.
After the celebration ended, the warships of the major races of the Covenant scattered across the universe like locusts.
They want to set off towards unknown territories, looking for traces of gods, traces of technology, or looking for the next unlucky guy.
In order to ensure the internal purity and enhance the cohesion of the Star Alliance, controlled by the Prophet family, the Star Alliance has formulated many things about spreading faith and collecting miracles.
These things are why the Covenant remains highly cohesive.
To be honest, the Covenant is a militant alliance of many people who believe in the same god, very similar to the Western Alliance of humans.
——
Go back a few months.
The strong electromagnetic signal detected by the Covenant Jackals was actually the induced signal from Ju Chengyan's team.
It turned out that Ju Chengyan's team, which relied on the Harvest Star as their base, made a major discovery. They found small rings one by one 15 light-years away from the Harvest Star.
When the first halo was found, Ju Chengyan was naturally overjoyed and then sent the news to Chen Mu.
Soon, Ju Chengyan was given the task of investigating the halo.
It stands to reason that they must explore the Halo World as soon as possible, but unfortunately their signal radar captured some enemy traces.
After investigation, they discovered that a non-human navy warship was performing a reconnaissance mission nearby a few light years away.
From dozens of light-years away, Ju Chengyan discovered that these guys were actually the Jackal fleet of the Star Alliance.
The original mission of exploring the world of Halo turned directly into the mission of inducing the Jackals and even finding a place to completely annihilate them.
The terror of the halo was mentioned above. This super weapon, which can destroy living things within a radius of 25,000 light years when formed into an array, was built by the Forerunners.
In the long history of the war between the Forerunners and the Flood, the Forerunners established 12 large haloes, 7 small haloes, the Great Ark, the Small Ark and several shield worlds in the galaxy to form a halo array.
These super ring weapons that can exterminate all living things in the galaxy are so terrifying that you can only survive by hiding inside the ring belt and the shield world.
More than 100,000 years ago, the Forerunners activated the Halo Array with all their strength, and that activation almost completely wiped out intelligent life forms and the Flood in the galaxy.
If the Forerunners had not collected and restored life forms from the Milky Way, there might not be any sign of life in the Milky Way at this moment.
Years have passed, and now the newly growing intelligent civilization still does not know the terror of halo weapons.
When the Star Alliance is about to come into contact with humans, Chen Mu must find all the Halos, Arks and Shield Worlds in the book.
They cannot guarantee that these places are under their control, they can only ensure that they are not controlled by the Covenant guys.
The Star Alliance is doing it for its own dominance and for the gods.
The people of the Covenant are still unaware of the terror of the Forerunner's halo.
If this group of pilgrims is not organized, they will eventually release the parasitic Corpse Brain Beast in Special Zone 05, causing the Flood to reappear in the universe.
Chen Mu's search for the halo was to control the halo for their use.
In times of crisis, they can not only release the halo, but also destroy it.
All in all, Halo, Ark, etc. must not be in the hands of the Covenant and those guys.
Their mission revealed that the civilization that leads the progress of the universe has been infiltrated by evil forces and is trying to destroy all life forms.
These enemies must not be allowed to master this super-killing weapon.
This is also the reason why the Jackals suddenly discovered so many electromagnetic signals.
They arranged the electromagnetic signal. In order to arrange the false electromagnetic signal, they arranged several real and fake locations to ensure that the jackals could not find it in a short time.
In order to ensure the safety of this halo, they even used strategies to kill Jackal warships in an effort to reduce the speed of human exposure as much as possible.
But this is ultimately a luxury wish.
In the ninth month of the advent of the Halo world, where the Jackal warships once appeared, three warships of different sizes suddenly emerged from the wormhole slowly.
As soon as the three battleships emerged from the wormhole, they unscrupulously turned on their photon and energy detection radars to search for any living thing within a 100-day radius.
However, the arrogant Jackal coalition did not find any traces of human existence. Instead, some special strong neutron radiation and solar storms frequently struck.
During these large-scale natural disasters, the gnolls showed everyone what it means to arrive in high spirits and return in disillusionment.
They only stayed in this star field for less than 5 days before fleeing in disgrace.
It's not that they are not strong, it's just that the area here is too evil.
It doesn't look like there are intelligent creatures at all in this environment.
After sending this news to the Thirvadami fleet that was exploring electromagnetic signals hundreds of light years away, he just called the other party a bunch of fools and cowards with a cold face, and then listed those places as star fields with harsh environments, and then
Focus on the area in front of his eyes.
Thirvadami discovered strong electromagnetic fluctuations here and felt that there must be civilization here.
Maybe the disappearance of several Jackal warships before has something to do with them...
