Chapter 263: Release, the Wrecker Corps and 'Charity'
Inside the classroom.
The scenery outside the window changes from evening to night, and the blackboard switches back to its normal focus of knowledge.
"Those Primarchs are so tall..."
"I've thought about it. After graduating from high school, I want to join the army!"
"Count me in!"
The students, who had long since stopped studying, were talking with their classmates about the previous press conference and packing their personal belongings into their schoolbags.
The female teacher wearing a green cheongsam also acquiesced to the students' conversation in class. She calculated the time when class was about to end, stood back on the podium, and raised her voice to warn:
"Prepare carefully after you get home today. Don't delay your grades because of the war on the Harvest Star. It's not your turn to participate in the war yet. Study hard while you are young. Did you hear me?"
"I heard it! Teacher Yi!" the students responded loudly.
"Yes." The female teacher nodded lightly, looked at the male student sitting in the corner and said, "Don't forget to copy the knowledge points thirty times, Wilhelm."
"It's...Teacher Yi." The male student named Wilhelm responded in a low voice.
"Ding~---!" The bell rang on time.
The students picked up their schoolbags and left. Wilhelm and several boys sitting in the back row quickly rushed out of the classroom and disappeared from sight.
"well…"
Looking at the open automatic door, the female teacher named Yi couldn't help but sigh and shake her head.

…
Meanwhile Harvest Star.
The central square of the capital Ordega was surrounded by civilians who came to watch.
The Marine Corps and Auxiliary Corps responsible for maintaining order on the scene were "surrounded" by civilians. It was not the kind of demonstration, but support with high respect.
Just listen;
"come on!"
"Teach those Covenant (Covenant) people a lesson!"
"Thank you for your fearless dedication!"
In the crowded streets, the encouragement and cheers of the civilians resounded.
Along with the Marines and Auxiliaries, the Astartes belonging to the five legions and equipped with Mjolnir 5s and armed with bolters also maintain order.
Harvest, which was originally the least populated planet, has now become the first colonial planet to witness the Primarchs and Astartes "walking on earth".
This makes people extremely confident and confident.
Leave the surface.
In the current low-Earth orbit, there is a mixed fleet unprecedented in the history of mankind.
There are as many as fifty-two aircraft carriers with a length of more than two kilometers, battleships, cruisers, frigates and destroyers. Counting various support boats, supply ships and other vessels, the total number reaches more than 1,200.
Approximately one-fifth of all the warships owned by mankind were gathered on Harvest Star, which once again caused a serious imbalance in the military-civilian ratio on Harvest Star.
Compared to the mixed fleet, it looks like an ant, and is composed of countless airships and transport aircraft, shuttled between their respective motherships and the surface, preparing for the next "counterattack expedition".
However, Umbrella's Third Legion and UNSC Fleet 045 will be stationed on the Harvest Star on the front line for a long time until the end of the war between humanity and the Covenant Empire.
Moreover, more and more manpower, resources and equipment are being transported to Harvest Star, which will become a logistics supply station for mankind in the future.
But among the group of human battleships that are all sharp and regular in style, there is a purple and sleek battle cruiser that is out of place and belongs to the covenant.
This battle cruiser is moored next to Sui Bian's flagship.
There is also a beetle-shaped purple transport aircraft parked in the Noda hangar of the Hymn of Courage.
On the left side of the transport plane, stood Sui Bian and his sons of the original body, as well as two artificial intelligences whose presence was low when they were not talking, and more than thirty elites who had put on their armor again.
Moore, who had regained his golden armor and was no longer as embarrassed as he had been a few days ago, made a fist with his right hand and placed it on his left chest, then bent down slightly to show enough respect and said to Sui Bian:
"Thank you, Chairman, for your understanding. We will do our best to wake up more people and stop this war caused by the prophet's selfish desires."
"According to what you say, I should be the one to say thank you, Captain Linmir." Sui Bian replied with a slight smile.
"No matter what, you are the benefactor of our Sangheili clan, so I hope that next time we meet, it will be as a friend rather than a hostile relationship."
After Moore finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the transport plane with its hatch opened, and raised his head and gave a soft "ouch" to signal his subordinates to board the plane quickly.
soon.
Moore and the others drove the transport plane, left the hangar through the air valve, and headed for the battle cruiser parked nearby.
"Guys who advocate martial arts, well..."
Looking at the air valve membrane emitting blue light, Ruth, with his hands on his hips, was thoughtful, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and laughed "haha":
"I wonder how drunk they are! It would be interesting to let them compete with the wolf cubs!"
Hear the words.
As the eldest brother, Robert habitually warned: "You are almost ninety years old. Be careful. You must know that you are the original body of the Fourth Legion, Russ."
"Give up, Robert." Roger put his hand on Robert's shoulder, shook his head and said, "Ruth is hopeless, his brain has been soaked in wine."
"I said..." Russ approached Rogge, pretending to be a winner, and laughed: "Rogge, you are envious of us being able to go on an expedition, right? Hahaha!"
"Oh, my duty is to defend the solar system, which is much more important than going on an expedition." Rogge said disdainfully.
At this moment, another brother approached them and said with a sunny smile:
"We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. You two are still the same. You miss your life on earth."
This primarch with short hair is as handsome as Sanguinius, and his strong physique is second only to Russ. Most importantly, this primarch's words seem to calm the minds of his brothers.
.
Like the "good old guy" among all brothers.
And he is Angron, the eighth in age among all the descendants of Sui Bian, and the original body of the Eighth Legion, the "Wrecker".
This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading! The five legions responsible for commanding the five mixed fleets and preparing for the counterattack expedition are the Ultramarines, Spartans, Space Wolves, Blood Angels and Angron.
Obstacle clearer.
Admiral James Carter's UNSC 1st Fleet will operate together with Robert's Ultramarine Corps.
The Iron Fist of Glory, which is best at defense, and Thutmose, who is best at psychic powers, guard the solar system with a population of 23 billion.
The Iron Hands continue to guard Reach in the "Forge World", while the Raven Guard patrols the edges of the realm.
The four original bodies responsible for staying behind rushed to the Harvest Star with only their own Honor Guards in order to officially come out.
Shortly thereafter, Rogge and Ferus will return to their respective posts.
Seeing Angron approaching, Rogge stopped talking nonsense and said: "Forget it, I wish you victory. Capture those ostrich priests and use them as research materials for the doctor (plague doctor)."
"Then I'll accept your good news! Hahaha! If we can reunite again after the war, Roger, you guys will have to drink hard for me!!" Russ laughed boldly.
not far away.
Sui Bian folded his hands in front of him, looking at his sons who had not been reunited for at least twenty years and smiling lightly, not bothering to teach Ruth a lesson.
After all, his sons all need to "wear" the "mask" of being the original body and the supreme commander of the legion in normal times.
Only at this time can they take off all disguises and talk nonsense with their brothers.
Sui Bian couldn't help but recall that seventy years ago, when he took his sons, who were "only" a little over two meters tall, to the zoo in Raccoon City, the staff couldn't help but doubt their lives.
After noticing the other person's expression of "Is this thirteen years old?!", the father realized that he could no longer take his sons to play in public places.
In this way, the original body has been separated from normal human society for seventy years.
"Chairman." At this moment, the Red Queen interrupted Sui Bian's recollection and said: "The cruiser driven by Mul Linmir and other Sangheili people has entered the fault space."
"Father."
After hearing the Red Queen's report, Sanguinius, who was also standing next to Sui Bian, said slightly worriedly: "With only Corax and the others, isn't it a bit too risky?"
Hear the words.
After finishing his memories, Sui Bian raised his head slightly and said to his youngest son of the original body: "No, you and Robert only need to deal with the enemies who are in chaos, and try to capture as many Sangheili people as possible.
Completely defeat the Covenant Empire."
"Yes, please don't worry, father." Sanguinius nodded in response.
"Of course I'm relieved." Sui Bian smiled lightly.
Then he looked to the other side and said to Wei, Russ, and Rogge who were participating in the quarrel. Magnus and Leon, who were also standing beside him, said:
"Leon, Magnus, you two are ready for a raid. Once the Covenant Empire falls into chaos and Robert and the others lead the main force in a full-scale attack, you will go straight to the Corinth galaxy."
"Yes." The two Primarchs responded in unison.
Magnus also raised his left hand and pinched his chin lightly, frowning slightly and said: "With Rogge and my champions here, the solar system is unbreakable, but what exactly did the Forerunner race that my father mentioned left behind in the Corinthian galaxy?"
"We'll find out when we get there." Leon shrugged nonchalantly, but his indifferent expression showed a little worry, and said to Sui Bian:
"Father, Magnus and I will complete the investigation as soon as possible."
Without psychic perception, just by looking at Leon's appearance, Sui Bian knew that the third son was worried about his safety, so he couldn't help but smile and said:
"I don't have to worry here. If the Covenant Empire really dares to make a desperate attack on Harvest Star again, I won't be happy before it's too late."
Speaking of this, Sui Bian changed the subject, his tone became a little more serious, and he warned: "But you should be careful about the special Zerg that may exist."
As early as three days ago, he told Leon and Magnus about the characteristics of the Flood in his memory to ensure that when his two sons went to the Corinthian system to investigate, they would be able to deal with the possible emergence of the Flood.
As for Corinth, it is a galaxy marked on the relic star map, about 350 light years away from the Harvest Star.
But Corinth is not within the territory of humans. Instead, it is an unknown space that humans have never explored, which is the deep territory of the Covenant Empire.
Based on the technological level shown by the Covenant, the Red and White Queens speculated that there was a high probability that they would complete the routine colonization of the Corinthian system, or be built into a scientific research station by the Covenant.
The types of Forerunner ruins that Sui Bian could think of were roughly divided into two categories.
The first is some kind of outpost, base and "library" built by the Forerunners on Harvest Star, Methrein and naturally formed terrestrial planets.
Next are "artificial" celestial bodies.
Just as "man-made" means, they are various types of Celestial-class battleships, objects and weapons built by the Forerunners.
If Sui Bian remembers correctly, the diameter of the halo is 10,000 kilometers. This is just a "small" halo, and the diameter of the "large" halo is 30,000 kilometers.
The lotus-shaped "ark" that specializes in swallowing and dismantling other terrestrial planets and used to build halos has a diameter of 130,000 kilometers, which is equivalent to ten times that of the earth.
In addition to these super celestial bodies, the most common ones scattered in the galaxy should be "shield worlds".
Shield worlds look similar to ordinary terrestrial planets, with an environment suitable for life, especially human habitation, on the surface.
Under the surface, there is an underground world turned upside down, with an ultra-small artificial star at its core to provide energy and light for the entire shield world.
The reason why it is called "Shield" is because the original intention of the Forerunners to build the Shield World was to provide a barrier for the people to resist the halo pulse that would destroy everything.
No matter which one, the Forerunners have disappeared. If Leon and Magnus find a celestial body built by the Forerunners in the Corinth galaxy they go to, then there is a certain probability that they will encounter the Flood.
Even though the probability is very low, Sui Bian will still share the information about the Flood Demon with his son.
After listening to the instructions, Leon and Magnus looked much more solemn and kept their father's words in mind.

…
In the unknown space.
The dazzling Milky Way and the colorful nebulae "diffuse" in the deep sky make the Milky Way scene in this cosmic region exquisite.
Against the background of this beautiful scenery, "a" fleet of the Covenant Empire is sailing in this space using conventional engines.
It may not be accurate to say one, because from a human perspective, this fleet seems to be a mixture of multiple fleets of different sizes, responsibilities, and levels.
It is similar to the five mixed fleets that humans are preparing to counterattack against them, but in size...
But it far exceeds any mixed fleet of mankind. Looking at it, the total number of warships is difficult to estimate, but it is at least four thousand.
This is even excluding warships, transport boats and ships smaller than 800 meters. If all are included, the total number of warships in this Covenant Empire fleet will reach an astonishing thirteen thousand.
Among them, the largest number of battleships were the "cockroach" cruiser that invaded the Harvest Star, and the flagship of Mul Lynmire, which was designed to target human aircraft carriers.
However, there are actually hundreds of super aircraft carriers in the fleet with a specification exceeding 30 kilometers.
If we ignore quality and only talk about quantity, specifications and population, the Covenant Empire will absolutely crush humanity.
And those hundred super aircraft carriers are not the most prominent presence of this fleet, because the "giant mushroom" flagship protected by the fleet at the center is about 350 kilometers wide and nearly 500 kilometers long.
It is more like a small man-made celestial body than a flagship, and it is also the "capital" of the Covenant Empire——
