‘Si…’
‘This is Normandy 2. Please answer if you hear it!’
‘Hey? Is anyone here? This is Normandy II. Please answer if anyone hears it! Please... Is there anyone else on Earth?!’
‘Si…’
‘This is Normandy 2. Please answer when you hear it…’
“!!”
"Report! Your Excellency Admiral, we have just received the communication signal from Normandy II!"
Just as the Star Alliance and two generals Anderson and Garen in the Federal Interim Command Center were whispering in the corner to summon fleets and cooperate related matters, while Anne, Shepard and Nova were talking about their own topics, a Star Alliance officer suddenly stood up and reported loudly, successfully attracting everyone's attention.
It has been so long, and this is the first time they have received signals from other universes outside the Earth and Moon system, so this technical soldier from Star Alliance and others are a little excited.
"It's Normandy No. 2?!"
When she heard that his spacecraft finally had news, Shepard immediately ran to the communication technology officer's operating table and pressed the button to connect to the communication:
"Is it Normandy 2? I'm Shepard, you're still alive? That's great! Please report your current location immediately!"
After pressing the communication button, Shepard quickly explained his identity loudly and began to ask!
She was always a little worried, fearing that her spaceship and her companions would be bombarded by the Reaper battleships as if they were treating the Earth's local fleet! Now, she was finally relieved. The facts have proved that her Normandy II was relatively capable of running. Not long after they had just calmed down the chaos on Earth, it actually emerged again.
‘Si…si…’
‘Convert image mode…it’s great, it’s Shepard, you guy!’
‘You are fine on Earth now, are you? You must be careful. We have seen at least hundreds of Reaper battleships raiding the Earth-Moon Defense Circle and airborne the Earth! You must hide well, and we will go and pick you up if you have the chance!’
Miranda's avatar appeared on the holographic screen as soon as possible. When she saw Shepard's face, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Like Shepard, she had thought that Shepard and others on earth had been wiped out by those aggressive harvesters!
After all, they also saw the situation of the Reaper Battleship bombardment and raiding the Earth Star Federation headquarters. It was precisely because of this that they did not dare to enter the Earth's atmosphere and try to rescue their commanders at the first time.
This matter starts a few hours ago...
At that time, when Miranda and others saw the battleships of the Reapers suddenly jumped to the orbit of the earth and began to violently launch the first round of fierce attacks and bombardment towards the unexpected local fleet of the Earth and the lunar base, they saw that the situation was not good, and ordered Normandy II to enter a stealth state and sail at super-light speed toward the outer direction of the solar system and run!
At that time, they no longer had to take shepard or observe the specific situation.
Because, just as they left the universe port, countless Reaper battleships easily defeated the Earth's fleet and almost all the space stations... and began to land on the Earth as soon as possible, while bombarding and pursuing the Star Alliance warships that wanted to escape, without any intention of giving Star Alliance any reaction time!
At that time, any thing that dared to resist or blocked the way, including those Earth's communication satellites, was attacked by those units, and it was definitely not the scene of their short-legged robots!
"Although the kinetic energy barrier of their Reaper battleships can be restrained by our Kipru Star Warships, they have an absolute advantage that none of us can ignore, that is: their number is really too many, that is, it is a number that I can feel a little desperate if I think about it..."
Their human battleships, the "Beast-class" battlecruisers, and even the latest model of imitation magic super battleships are equipped with the "Yamato cannons" activated by fusion reactions controlled by magnetic fields. They fire fusion energy particle beams that are enough to destroy any business!
The only difference between their battleships and the battle patrols is the size of the main gun caliber and the number of gun barrels... Galen believes that whether it is their battleships, the motherships of the Protosses or the Leviathan-class monsters of the insects, the energy attacks launched by them are enough to deal with the kinetic energy barriers of those harvesters!
but……
The number of the other party is a huge problem!
"Admiral Anderson, I've forgotten a little, how many warships are there for those Reapers?"
With a wry smile, Galen still signaled to Anderson beside her. To be honest, she has realized now that it is not an easy and simple task for their Federation of Heroes to colonize in this ectopic galaxy.
"According to previous information, there are almost hundreds of thousands of ships detected in the early stage alone? As for whether there are more of them in the future, I don't know..."
After saying that, even Anderson himself couldn't help but lower his head dejectedly.
It can be said that he, the star general, is one of the few people with clear minds. He is not complacent about the victory on Earth, nor is he blindly optimistic or confident because of the upcoming reinforcements fleet.
Because he knew that the war between humans, or the entire high-level civilization race of the Milky Way and the Reapers, has just begun now! The information obtained from their digging of the relics of the Prosol Immortals shows that the powerful Prosol Immortals at the time was eventually grown by the Reapers for at least several centuries! In that long and bloody war of extermination, there was no doubt that the Prosol Immortals lost... Even though they actively collected countless races and established a huge empire, even if they prepared in advance, they still lost...
Therefore, now they have a new reincarnation church and various high-level civilized races of the Galaxy. If they cannot defeat those reapers, in the end, all of them will still be the same as the Pluox Empire. All the higher civilizations that know the existence of reapers will be killed until they are completely annihilated in the dust of time, waiting for the new lives of the next reincarnation to dig out and write them, the losers, into the history books?
"That's what I'm worried about..."
"Our Federation of Heroes can only send about tens of thousands to about 100,000 warships of various types! Moreover, that is already one-third of our current force... We are not unable to dispatch more troops, but we also have our own enemies in the Kopru Star Zone, and we will not put too much energy into this world!"
"There is another point I want to declare: We will definitely not invest so many fleets at once. The General Staff must assess the risks and proceed step by step. If the situation is not good, we will directly implement the plan to retreat immediately and close the world channel..."
"So, Shepard, believe me... the war won't end too easily, and if I can, I think the advice that Admiral Anderson just said was right, and uniting all races to fight the Reapers is indeed a good choice."
There are so many alien races here. In Garen's opinion, if they don't want to be destroyed by the Reapers, they can barely unite to gather tens of thousands of warships and their federations to resist the Reapers, right?
If the various fleets in the Milky Way combined can have a total of more than 100,000 or 200,000, then, with their elite main fleet of the Federation, it may not be too desperate when facing the Reapers?
“…”
"Please give orders, General Anderson!!"
After a while of silence, Shepard did not reject the mission that sounded difficult. But after hesitating for a moment, he turned around and looked at Anderson resolutely, and gave a solemn military salute to the other party with a serious expression.
This is just like what she has been doing before. She Shepard will never refuse as long as she needs it!!
"Very good! Shepard, you are worthy of our human pride, I am proud of you!"
Anderson also saluted the other party, and then patted the other party's shoulders, which were not too tough compared to their men, with relief.
"Now, as the General of Star Alliance, I will restore your military rank to Lieutenant Colonel of Star Alliance and appoint you as our Star Alliance's plenipotentiary representative for foreign affairs, specifically responsible for contacting all matters of various races. I hope you will not let us down?"
"Shepard, I hope you all goes well!"
"If we still have a future, we Star Alliance, we humans, and even our entire galaxy will certainly not forget the efforts you made against the Reaper!!"
Although Shepard did never disappoint him and Anderson, he had to specifically remind the other party, pointing out the seriousness of the matter.
"Please ensure that the task is completed, sir!"
Nodding, Shepard continued to salute again.
She didn't mind military ranks and other things. As long as she could represent humans and star leagues to negotiate with other races, she would be satisfied! Besides, she also has a position as a ghost of the god castle. Although it may not be very good in such a chaotic situation, she could still barely raise the tiger skin as a banner at critical moments.
"Your mission may not be too easy, so I'll send our Star League team of elite n7s, as well as James and Ashley to help you!"
Anderson, who knew that most of Normandy No. 2 had an affair with Cerberus, thought about it seriously. For some concerns, he planned to arrange a group of more reliable subordinates for Shepard, and it was definitely OK to those n7s. Also, the S1 Ashley from the S unit is also good!
If the other party can be fully trained and not die, Anderson even felt that Ashley might be another Shepard?
"Yes! I understand!"
Knowing that the task was difficult, Shepard did not refuse Anderson's intention to increase his manpower.
"Ah?"
"Do you still have to go out to perform tasks? It sounds like it sounds fun... Then I'm going too!!"
(??e??)?
It was interesting to hear what the adults said, and they could continue to go shopping in the universe, Anne blinked and ran over quickly on the spot, and announced with her little bear Tibers' paws high.
She wouldn't be staying in this messy earth and messing around all the time. Since she has the opportunity to go to other places, that would be great.
"If the Head of State goes..."
"Then I have to go too. I need to protect our heads of state! How about it, Shepard, is there no problem with this matter?"
After swaying the empty canned iron shell in her hand, and after stuffing the dagger into the sheath that she tied to the outside of her thigh, Nova also walked over with her beautiful long golden ponytail.
"And I, I can take the lead in charge!"
"Of course, you must wait for me to retrieve my big sword first. That thing has been used easily. If it were something else, I might not get used to it."
Seeing that Nova was going to follow, Garen certainly couldn't be too backward, so he stood up and patted himself on the spot and recommended himself with his chest.
"You? Don't you need to command the fleet to fight?"
"Oh! I'm sorry, I almost forgot... You're just a fool who can charge and know nothing about commanding the fleet to fight!"
First, she asked back, and then Nova soon began to mock her hard as if she suddenly realized her mind! Everyone could see that the reason why she did this was definitely intentional.
“…”
The blue veins on Garen's head couldn't help but jump, and in the end, he resisted the urge to get angry.
He felt that the damn female spy leader in front of him must have retaliated against Galen's mistake just now, right?
"that……"
"Two, I will definitely welcome you when you go with me! But... your senior management has left, who will coordinate the Star Alliance and command the fleet to fight against the Reapers?!"
Shepard, who seemed to see something, quickly spoke up before the conflict between the two broke out... These two guys who were obviously against each other, if they were really put on her Normandy No. 2, then I don’t know what would happen!
Moreover, what she just said is true after all!
Now is the most critical time to fight the Reaper. If the head of the Federation of Heroes, generals, and major generals all went out to roam with her, who would those large troops and fleets give to coordinate and command? She didn't think it would be a good idea to let Anderson work together with an unfamiliar federal general!
"Matt Horner!"
"Matt Horner!!"
Nova and Garen said one person's name at the same time, and then the two quickly turned around and glared at each other.
"Matt Horner...who is that?!"
Anderson didn't know the strange name, so he looked at the little girl leader beside him curiously, hoping that the other party could help him solve his doubts a little?
“Huh?”
"What do you old man do, Matt Horner, I don't know that strange guy!!"
(*???)??
Maybe I knew each other before, but Annie has long forgotten it now! Besides, there are so many worlds she has been to, and she can’t count the people and things she has seen by her fingers. How can she remember things in each world so clearly?
As for Matt Horner and so on...
She dared to use the name of the bear to guarantee that she really had no special impression! Anyway, that guy is definitely not a powerful guy! In the Koplu Star Zone, she only remembers a big sister named Leona, a first mate named Doug, Renault, Carrigan and someone who was robbed of the country by herself. It seems that she was the unlucky emperor named Monsk?
Tsk! Now those guys seem to be officials of her federal state? She snatched a huge country like that. I hope he won't cry directly in the middle of the night, right?
“…”
Admiral Anderson, who was full of black lines, had to ask for help and looked at Garen who was familiar with him.
"Matt Horner..."
"He is the former captain of the Huberian battleship, the current Admiral of the Federation, and graduated from the Tasanis Military Vehicle Flying and Command University. In short, he is an amazing guy!!"
"Of course, although his individual combat power is basically zero, in terms of talent for commanding warships, a hundred Garens are not as good as the other party!!"
"He will definitely come with the battleships when the time comes!"
Before Garen could speak, Nova introduced him to Anderson first, and continued to glance at Garen who was glaring at him with a bad look.
"Hey! Can you not target me everywhere?"
"I was originally a member of the Marine Corps, now an admiral of the Army, and I am also responsible for ground command operations. Those fleet warfares are not my expertise, so there is nothing comparable to this at all!"
In fact, Galen's commander of the First Fleet of the Capital Military Region was just to control some disobedient guys and they just had that loud name! However, now that there are people from Star Alliance, he will definitely not tell all the destructions of the Federation.
This is also impossible. After all... it has only been more than ten years from the establishment of the Federation to the unification of the Star Zone. It is a normal thing for many factions in the Federation. There is no 100-word explanation. As long as it does not violate the explicit provisions of the law, it is reasonable and legal!
For example, to build a large number of ‘armored transport ships’ with dreadnought shells?
Like those big guys, except for the lack of main guns, the size, length, weight, etc., are not worse than the dreadnought at all. As long as you install a backup main gun in an emergency, it will be a dreadnought if you pull it out!
Although the Turi people have protested before, the "Torch Convention" does not stipulate that they cannot make transport ships of the same specification as the dreadnought, right? The scientists of their Star Alliance are so lazy that they don't want to redesign the new special hull for transport ships. What else can they do besides making do with the dreadnought?
Of course, the number of "transporter ships" may not be too many, there should be dozens of them like that? After all, even if they do such things, they have to give some face to the races of the Godcastle Council. It is impossible to expose hundreds of transport ships that look exactly like the Dreadnought, which would be too ugly.
"Forget it, I still don't expect you...I think our Federation of Heroes may be ready to fight alone?"
"Well! This is not good news!"
Galen Kexiao shook her head in a daze, no longer holding too many expectations.
After all, what is the use of such a small fleet in front of powerful reapers? Maybe, like those fleets on the earth, they will be instantly smashed into meteorites that have broken and fallen into the atmosphere? Admiral Hackett is leading the second, third, fifth fleets and the garrisoned fleets of the space station to face hundreds of reapers warships of all sizes and sizes, and have been fighting bloody battles until now!
In this chaotic battlefield, countless beams of red particle, blue pulse energy, and the mass effect projectiles fired at high speed, plus those warship shields that were bombarding both sides of the enemy and us!
From time to time, Star Alliance warships were destroyed by the red energy particle beam of the Reaper and penetrated the entire spacecraft, causing cruisers, frigates, etc. to explode and become floating garbage in the universe...
At the same time, many numbers of Reaper warships were equal to the length of the main gun weapons and could accelerate two kilograms of warheads to hundreds of kilometers per second at two seconds. The kinetic energy of each warhead was equivalent to 38,000 tons of mass effect projectiles hit the ship hard. After the kinetic energy barrier was overloaded, the hull was broken through a hideous hole, and was soon turned into a hideous giant beast corpse floating in the universe by the subsequent sacrificial explosion and dense shooting!
At this time, no one on both sides of the enemy will pity each other, but they just try their best to kill each other's enemies as quickly as possible! Whoever shows his cowardice or retreats first will fail and lose this battle...
"Yes! That's it, defeat them hard!"
"Be careful with all fleets! We have a numerical advantage, and now it has reached 8 to 1! Each warship immediately scattered siege and instantly allocated combat missions. Be sure to require six to eight warships to siege one of their ships. Those who are injured will retreat immediately and wait for the shield to recover!"
"We need to use the advantage of quantity to kill their monsters!!"
Although the fleet suffered heavy losses and their warship shields often could only bear the opponent's attack, under the outstanding command of General Hackett, the Star Alliance fleet could use three to exchange for one, defeating the hundreds of Reaper fleets step by step and facing the end of complete destruction!
In Hackett's view, he is now working on his three fleets to kill more than half of his casualties, and he will definitely be able to drive away or wipe out the other side, completely protect the Arctic Space Station, and protect the portal of this solar system. He will never let more reapers jump to the Charon repeater and jump into the solar system to threaten their home planet Earth!
However, what they may not know is that after the communication was interrupted, the Reapers had already raided the local fleet and landed on Earth at the first time, and the senior management of the Star Alliance had been taken down long ago...
"Not good! Detect the energy reaction of the leaping of the Reaper Spaceship!"
"Sir, big things are not good, more Reaper battleships are jumping from the repeater, and they are in a lot of numbers!!"
"The number is one hundred...two hundred...three hundred...god! Their number is still increasing, and now it has reached more than one thousand ships!!"
"Sir?!"
A radar intelligence officer suddenly stood up and exclaimed in panic at Admiral Hackett on the flagship bridge in despair.
Originally, they had already had a very difficult battle in the past half day. They basically killed five hundred enemies and lost one thousand of themselves!
But now, when they were about to annihilate the remaining less than a hundred Reaper battleships, the other side actually came more, and there were at least more than a thousand. How should they fight?!
“…”
Without the radar soldiers reminding him, Hackett's face turned pale now when he looked at the map of the battlefield.
"well……"
Hackett knew that the defeat was decided...
This time, they must be unable to defend the Great Arctic Space Station and the portal of their solar system...
"Sentence..."
Taking a deep breath, he knew that he would never be able to get out of his own way, so he gritted his teeth and resolutely prepared to issue a new order:
"Let the Second Fleet... let them push their full strength to cut us off the rear, and make sure to fight for at least ten minutes! When the time comes, they can retreat on their own..."
"Order……"
"The Third Fifth Fleet immediately evacuated the combat area with its flagship, and immediately prepared to enter the super-light speed sailing, ready to forcefully jump to the vicinity of the main star of Eden!"
"Order……"
"Announce the Great Arctic Space Station and let them...let them evacuate themselves now..."
After saying that, Admiral Hackett closed his eyes in pain.
Because he knew that at this time, he had given up all the tens of thousands of soldiers and families in the Second Fleet and the Big Arctic Space Station...
However, he had no choice. If he didn't do that, all of them would have to die! Now, if he could run one by one, as the admiral of the Star Alliance, he would always leave some family fortune for humanity and Star Alliance. Now, what they were facing was a war that could not be won, and he had to do that.
As for the earth...
He dare not go back now!
Because they had been completely disconnected from the earth for a long time. Although he didn't know what was going on there, he had a vague premonition...
The local fleet of Earth will definitely not be the opponent of the hundreds of Reaper battleships that jumped over!
So, he planned to go to the Lord Eden who could communicate intermittently with them first, and then think about what to do next... She had to think about what to do to deal with those powerful and desperate fleets of Reapers!
"But sir!"
"The commander-in-chief of the Second Fleet is your son... and some of your family are now at the Arctic Space Station..."
Having said this, Hackett's adjutant dared not say anything else.
Because, he saw the general's hideous and painful face, and the other party was staring at him fiercely.
"Of course I know what I'm doing!"
"But, everyone... you are also the commander of the Star Alliance. You have also seen that we have no choice now! Either we all die here... or we must preserve part of our strength for the Star Alliance and for mankind..."
"That sentence is right: 'Bloody battle on the battlefield, horses and corpses', that is the fate of our soldiers..."
"Since sacrifice is inevitable now, I will choose to start with my son and my family! Then one day it will be our turn, and we cannot retreat..."
"So, go ahead and execute the order. If it's a little later, none of us can escape!"
After taking off his star couplet cap from his forehead in pain, revealing his short white hair all over his head, he gently wiped the star couplet emblem on the brim of the hat, and Hackett sighed slightly tremblingly.
Now, he has no choice...
“!!”
"Report!!"
"A powerful energy reaction appeared behind our fleet, and a super-large fleet was jumping over. The distance...a distance is one light second, the identification code... cannot be identified?!"
"Report to the sir! We are surrounded by enemies!!"
Before the order to cut off the rear and emergency retreat was conveyed, the lieutenant, the radar-in-chief, shouted sadly again!
On the interface of their battlefield radar, there were dense crowds, and at least tens of thousands of unknown red dots had appeared in the cosmic airspace behind them, completely cutting off their retreat!
Now, the result of the annihilation of the second, third, and fifth third fleets of the Star Alliance and the Arctic Space Station garrison fleet is a foregone conclusion!!
“…”
"Ha! Everyone, I'm very happy to work with you..."
"Now, let's attack the Reaper troops ahead with all our might! For Star Alliance, for humanity..."
With a bitter smile, Hackett collapsed directly onto the captain's mount, supported his forehead with his hands dejectedly, and then gave his last order!
Okay, no one has to argue now, because now, none of them can escape!
Hackett knows that humans are going to be over
Losing three fleets, they lose the power to fight back. In front of those powerful harvesters, destruction is already settled!
“…”
‘Sizi…’
‘Announce the Star Alliance Fleet in the Forefront!’
'We are the first fleet of the Federation of Legends in the Kopru Star Zone! At the request of the Supreme Commander of the Star Alliance, General Anderson, will come to help the Great Arctic Space Station!'
‘We order you: Let the waterway open immediately!’
