"Please take a seat, Alan." Nick Fury sat behind his desk and said to "C-SEC" Minister Alan Vick, who had just walked in.
"I have dispersed all my men to the five guard areas according to your instructions." Allen, who had a slight beard, was not polite and sat directly on the sofa: "In other words, CSEC has no response at all to emergencies.
So, what information did you get that made you insist on me doing this?"
"The Geth will attack the Citadel today," Nick Fury's words immediately made Allen jump to his feet, and then the next words made him sit back: "The total force is three thousand cruisers."
"At this scale, even if all the fleets of the Star Alliance are filled in, it will not be enough. What can we do?" Allen frowned.
"Let your men try to protect the ordinary residents of each guard district," Nick Fury replied: "We can't control the affairs of heaven."
"Is this news from Kangna?" Allen thought for a moment and continued to ask: "Then she must have a solution."
"Yes, she can provide real-time movements of the geth battleships during the battle. If we can convince the Galactic Alliance combined fleet to obey the command of the Star Alliance Fifth Fleet, we can completely eliminate these geth without any harm." Nick Fury said.
If you don’t believe it yourself.
"Hmph, with a geth of this size, the Citadel Council is afraid that they will immediately escape on the 'Destiny Extraordinary' and order all the combined fleets to cover them," Allen snorted: "In several previous meetings, they
He has made his attitude clear: if the geth launches a large-scale attack on the Citadel, the purpose must be to capture these 'members of the council' - bah."
"The purpose of these geth is to destroy the Citadel tower," Nick Fury said: "That is actually the super giant mass effect repeater used by the 'Reapers' to descend."
"Oh...huh?" Allen seemed to have doubts about the logic in this sentence.
"Enabling this repeater requires special components, such as a Reaper battleship," Nick Fury said: "After enabling it, the controller can choose to teleport in the Reapers from the other side, or he can choose
Permanently turn off its teleportation function."
"Oh... that is to say, if the Citadel tower is destroyed, it will still have the same function after reconstruction, but if it is permanently closed, there will be no way to recover." Allen nodded.
The two of them tacitly avoided talking about the fact that the "Reaper Battleship" was a friendly force.
"How to specifically fight for the interests of mankind is no longer something we bluffing guys can do." Nick Fury shook his head: "It depends on how Admiral Hackett of the Fifth Fleet uses the message delivered by the Dunkirk.
We can save those fleeing council members and sell them as favors, or we can let them die and gain a voice for humanity in the rebuilt Citadel Council."
"And I will let my men fulfill your boast of Haikou and protect the ordinary residents of the Citadel." Allen nodded.
Buzz-buzz-!
The information screen on the wall of the embassy lit up by itself, and a Turian host appeared on the screen nervously.
"[Emergency news, the Serpent Galaxy has been invaded by the Geth, and is expected to arrive at the Citadel in thirty minutes. Residents are asked to evacuate nearby. I repeat, residents are asked to evacuate nearby. This is not a drill!]"
The picture-in-picture that appeared at the same time as him was showing one gray-white geth warship after another passing through the mass effect repeater and silently arranging into a predetermined formation. The neat, seemingly endless mechanical ships,
Like some deep nightmare.
As if the oppressive feeling of this scene was not strong enough, when the newscaster appeared and said the same sentence repeatedly, a ship that was different from other geths, completely black, resembling a lobster and a squid, and exceeded the number of geth warships.
Ten times the size of the giant battleship suddenly appeared in front of the geth battleship group, and took the lead in making a short jump in the direction of the Citadel.
The next moment, the densely packed group of Geth battleships started to synchronize, and then entered the jump state.
The host, who obviously had no speech notes, was dumbfounded.
"Anyone who looks at it will think that he is their leader..." Nick Fury shook his head: "Let the CSEC people start taking action. As for you, don't be brave and watch the live broadcast with me."
————
Before the geth battleship group arrived in the airspace of the Citadel, the "Destiny Extraordinary" had already left the Citadel with the members of the Citadel Council. They did not attack, but retreated, completely ignoring the residents of the Citadel who were already scolding them.
However, it was not that they did nothing. Before leaving, they used the authority of the parliament to issue an order for the castle to "close".
The five petal-like guard areas of the Citadel can of course be closed, and with the strength of these "petals", after they are completely closed, even the main gun of the "Destiny Extraordinary" will not be able to defeat it quickly.
The time gained in this way was enough for the Citadel Council to initiate a short jump and escape.
However, as the saying goes, "plans cannot keep up with changes", due to the mass effect jump, in addition to the geth warships that were too large in number and caused the jump channel to be unstable, there were also Reaper warships that seemed to be deliberately disrupting the channel.
The combined result of the two is that when the group of Geth warships arrived in the airspace of the Citadel, they were evenly dispersed around the Citadel, which had just half-closed the "petals". Many Geth warships were caught off guard and crashed into the outer wall of the petals, and there were enough
Fortunately, he broke into the castle through the gap that had not yet been closed.
This situation caused half of the combined fleet that was about to leave the castle to turn around and return.
As for the Reaper warship, it happened to appear on the "petal opening" of the castle that was about to close. After only a moment of silence to confirm the surrounding environment, it waved its paws and rushed in like a little girl who was late for school.
Interior of the closed space of the Citadel.
Although this metaphor is a bit strange, almost all intelligent creatures who saw its strange movements came to the same impression.
The final result was that about one-fifth of the Geth warships and Reaper warships got into the sealed interior of the Citadel. The remaining Geth warships tried to attack the outer wall of the "petal" several times and found that it had no effect.
Attention turned to the "Destiny Extraordinary" and the Galactic Alliance combined fleet it led.
The commander of the Destiny Extraordinary tried to make the battleship make a short-distance jump, but was frustrated to find that the geth were indeed geth. It was absolutely impossible to expect these machines with perfect combat modules to forget to bring interrupters to prevent the enemy from jumping.
She could only let the combined fleets that were left outside gather together and try to form a formation to fight against the geth who were ten times more numerous, while at the same time sending a distress signal to all the surrounding civilized fleets:
Any civilization that successfully rescues the Citadel Council from danger will gain the friendship of the Citadel Council.
