After 22 minutes, they found a total of twelve surviving soldiers.
Although the battle only lasted half an hour, it tested the combat effectiveness of the human side and also recognized the combat effectiveness of the Covenant side!
The enemy's two ORS-class cruisers are active battleships of the Covenant forces.
Although the style is old, its combat effectiveness is not weak, and its combat effectiveness is among the top three levels within the Star Alliance.
Considering that the Covenant has not encountered a decent competitor in hundreds of years, they must have stronger weapons internally.
However, it is speculated based on this battle that these weapons and equipment will not appear in the early battle between humans and the Covenant!
Because the enemy could come at any time, the battlefield was not cleaned thoroughly this time.
The Covenant warships did not recover useful equipment. They only rescued the sensitive weapons depots of human warships and the remains of fallen soldiers, and destroyed the sensitive information coordinates and all weapon systems in the warships.
Because he had to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, and leave a good surprise for the Star Alliance, Chen Mu did not use the Najie to recover the ruins of the battleship.
45 minutes later, the transition energy beam appeared again, and the Covenant's reinforcement warships arrived on the battlefield.
Apart from the wreckage of the Covenant warship, they found no trace of the enemy.
Looking at the two destroyed Covenant warships, the Covenant commander was shocked.
"The battle lasted only a few dozen minutes, but our two heavy cruisers were destroyed, and the enemy also evacuated without a trace. This is very strange!"
"Although we found the wreckage of the enemy's destroyed warship, the enemy warship was very small. The battle damage ratio is so surprising! The Blasphemer is stronger than we thought!"
The Star Alliance adjutant said to himself: "Since the enemy is so powerful, why do they want to escape? Why don't they fight us? Don't they know the wealth of the Ring of the Gods (Halo No. 5)? That is a complete
God’s ring belt!”
"Heretics, don't covet the wealth of the rings of the gods!" the battleship commander gasped through his nose.
"Sorry! I only have reverence and worship for the gods. I just think that in the future, countless people of the Covenant will be bathed in the miracles of the gods."
"Hmph!" The commander of the Covenant warship snorted coldly, and then looked at the ring of gods (halo No. 5) in the distance.
While thinking about where the enemy had gone, he continued to intensify his investigation.
A few hours later, the Covenant's detection radar scanned the nearby astronomical units and confirmed that there were no strange fleets or enemies around.
The enemies who fought against them seemed to have disappeared.
The commander endured his doubts and asked the fleet rescue ship to search for survivors of the battle in the wreckage of the destroyed Covenant warship.
Unfortunately, the Covenant warship was completely destroyed and there were no survivors.
The sailing and combat records of the two ORS heavy cruisers were also wiped out.
Without information, their investigation suddenly hit a bottleneck. However, small detectors found the wreckage of several small enemy warships near the halo.
They once sent soldiers to land to investigate, but were then attacked by Halo's defense system. The other party temporarily gave up looking for human footprints and focused on Halo No. 5.
Unlike humans landing on the Covenant, Covenant warships will be attacked by various weapons of the Forerunners as soon as they approach the halo belt.
The Covenant warships tested the system and stopped their exploration after confirming that the halo defense system was normal.
In the following days, more than a dozen Covenant warships of different sizes arrived one after another. ORS-class heavy cruisers, CRS and CCS-class light cruisers, RCS armored cruisers...
Until a huge Covenant mothership, codenamed "Evangelist", arrived carrying the current Prophet of Truth.
"After searching dozens of light-year units, no trace of the enemy was found?"
"Yes, great prophet of truth, the enemy should be afraid of our military might and be scared away!"
"What do you think of the fleeing behavior of those enemies?" The Prophet of Truth looked to the side, Ates Vatum, the elite special operations commander of the Sangheili clan.
"Prophet, through various clues, I think those guys should run away!"
"Artes, please tell me your analysis!"
"Okay..." Artes Vatum began to talk about the first time the Covenant met humans.
At that time, the combat log sent by Jiralhanae Commander Lolotas' Holy Blood of Glory showed that those Blasphemer channels happened to hit the Covenant patrol ship.
Artes Vatum skipped over Lolotas, who was carelessly killed, and spoke directly about the characteristics of the enemy's spaceship.
"The evil god's small spaceship has no weapon defense system and only contains a lot of passengers. We thought at first that they had disturbed the gods' sleep, but there is an almost complete defense system on the ring of gods! Our scanning radar is only in
A small amount of life forms were found in the Ring of the Gods!"
"So, I suspect those guys just discovered the Ring of the Gods not long ago."
"I guess the blasphemers should have specially sent a survey ship to collect intelligence after discovering the Ring of the Gods!"
"Everyone, take a look at the outer edges of the Gods' Ring. Are there any fragments of human spaceships?"
A group of Star Alliance soldiers nodded in unison: "That's true."
The prophet of truth also looked at Halo No. 5 with his greedy eyes.
"I feel that the defense system of the Ring of the Gods defeated those blasphemers. Our two battleships were destroyed by each other. It should be that they used the weapons of the gods."
"And when the opponent flees, they either regard us as the masters of the Ring of Gods, or they think they can't defeat us. Therefore, the enemy has a high probability of fleeing in fear of fighting!"
Yes, this is the only explanation that makes sense!
"In that case, let's first send out troops to survey the starry sky within 10 light years to see if we can find the enemy's home planet. Once we find it, we will annihilate it directly! Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Let the Covenant warships be busy, and the Prophet of Truth also dispatched soldiers and unmanned combat groups to Halo 5. They are preparing to conquer the Halo defense system and get a glimpse of it as soon as possible!
In order to explore Halo No. 5, the Prophet of Truth deployed a large number of resources backwards.
But there are dozens of ships of different sizes and purposes docked hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the halo.
Human beings are the inheritors of the aura, and they can enter and exit the aura freely.
For the Covenant that has not received the Forerunner inheritance, detecting the halo is quite expensive in terms of material resources and manpower.
However, the senior leaders within the Star Alliance are extremely enthusiastic, and Halo No. 5 is the largest, most complete, and most perfect creation of the gods that the Star Alliance has found so far.
They think they have secured Halo No. 5.
A large number of Covenant warriors tried to land on Halo 5, but were left behind by the Forerunners and beaten up by the relics activated by humans.
The Prophet of Truth did not show any mercy after seeing the large number of casualties among the soldiers. Instead, he asked the troops to increase their exploration efforts and not use powerful weapons to destroy the creation of the ring.
This caused the Covenant exploration team to suffer huge equipment losses.
After exploring for more than ten days, these guys lost hundreds of millions of unmanned equipment and more than 600,000 wild boar warriors.
However, after seeing that the energy of Halo Defense Belt No. 5 was exhausted and that energy weapons and various strange weapons could no longer be released, the Covenant cheered.
"Send ground troops and prepare for landing!"
"I will embark on a pilgrimage in three days!" the prophet of truth said enthusiastically.
Covenant soldiers landed one after another, preparing for the pilgrimage. But what they didn't know was that everything they did was detected by the spy system hidden inside the halo, and was sent to Chen Mu and his group who were hiding!
