What do they have to do with those convulsive Jiralhanae tribe?
Witnessing the real existence of "elves", a series of questions instantly appeared in Leon's mind, trying to figure out what exactly the border star area was facing, whether it was related to another space, etc.
If you want to solve the confusion, the most convenient solution is to cooperate with the support that is about to arrive to capture them alive for interrogation.
But at this moment, the elf who was more mature and older than the other companions was able to use human language smoothly. He first said to the elf being followed by Leon:
"Ina, you are still too young. Haven't you noticed that you have lured a human who wants to capture us alive?"
Said.
The older elf raised his head and his eyes met the monitor of the "Ant" robot. At the same time, he also met Leon's eyes as if through the screen of his mobile phone.
Then there was a "pop!" and Lyon's crystal-like cell phone exploded.
Remember URL
!!!
The sudden change caused him to quickly throw away the shattered mobile phone, hold the gun tightly with both hands, and quickly run away...
The expected wall collapse did not occur.
The six elves did not attack Lyon, but chose to leave the warehouse through the main entrance.
Looking at the elves slowly approaching him, Leon raised his gun to confront him, but in order to avoid misunderstanding and delaying time, he did not pull the trigger rashly, and then asked loudly:
"Who are you? What is the purpose of coming here?"
Hear the words.
The elves gradually stopped, and finally kept a distance of about ten meters from Lyon.
"Haha." The older elf smiled calmly, pointed out Leon's idea of stalling for time, and said:
"Human, I know what you are thinking. From your point of view, capturing us alive is a correct decision.
But this kind of decision will only destroy the relationship between our clan and you humans, and it will not maximize the interests between us, and may even fall into the calculation of the evil god Pallas."
"Profit? The evil god Pallas?" Leon's expression became much more solemn and he replied in a deep voice: "In that case, please cooperate with my work and just stand here and stay well, how about it?"
"I'm sorry, but I obey." The elder elf shook his head and smiled: "We have more important things to deal with, and now is not the best time for us to discuss cooperation."
The other party's voice just finished.
"Hoo~!" The roar of the engine of a small assault craft specially designed for use in the atmosphere was heard from above.
Above the dense foliage.
An assault boat with hatches on both sides opened, carrying an intelligence emergency team equipped with light power armor and armed with non-standard Gauss rifles, quickly rushed over the area, circled around and began to lower the altitude.
This allows the emergency team to jump out of the aircraft cabin directly and carry out the landing.
Realizing that the support called by Leon was about to arrive, the elves turned around and left without lingering.
"Stand..." Leon wanted to intercept.
But before the roar of "Stop!" was finished, the group of elves had already jumped to the roofs of short buildings or houses with muscle strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, elites, and even the Iron-Blooded clan, and then used extreme force to
The fast running speed spread out in all directions and disappeared from his sight.
Just looking at the pure physical quality, the elves seem to be more like a fighting race, especially the older elf. Without deliberately guessing and inferring, Leon knows that the opponent is very skilled in the use of spiritual energy.
"Tap! Tread!"
The fourteen members of the emergency team jumped out of the cabin, smashed branches, and landed hard next to Lyon, completing a "conventional" landing.
The moment they landed and stood firm, the emergency team formed a team of two and chased in the direction where the elf was fleeing.
The team leader with dark red shoulder armor led a subordinate to Leon and saluted: "Director Kennedy, it is an honor to respond to your request for support. However, before the technical personnel arrive at the scene, please temporarily
Stay where you are,? I hope you understand."
Leon raised his hand and said in return: "Don't worry, I am most familiar with the procedures of the Intelligence Department."
And added: "Also,? Tell your people, if you catch up with the fleeing target, try to capture it alive as much as possible."
"learn."
The team leader was reminded and conveyed the capture order to each team.
Leon waited patiently for a while.
Technicians riding on ground transportation vehicles walked through the alleys with various instruments to inspect the interior of the warehouse where Leon and the elves gathered.
After the inspection results showed that everything was normal, Lyon was able to regain his freedom of movement.
He first took a ground vehicle back to the hotel, retrieved his travel bag and checked out in advance, and then left here on an assault boat.

…
A few minutes later.
On the northern outskirts of the city of Budapest, there is a military base also "surrounded" by the rainforest, which is large enough to accommodate 20,000 people.
This base belongs to the UNSC 503rd Infantry Division, and the soldiers patrolling Budapestine are from the 503rd Infantry Division.
There are complete air defense facilities in the base, and there are also fortresses on the outside. The most obvious ones are the four corners of the base, with the slowly rotating light prism towers on the top of the towers.
The power required for the four light prism towers, air defense facilities and the entire base is provided by a nuclear fusion reactor.
There are not many heavy armored units in the base, but there are a large number of transport aircraft, transport boats and other air transport vehicles parked at the north airport.
Moreover, there are three black-painted small assault boats belonging to Umbrella parked on the airport side.
at this time.
The assault boat on which Leon was riding passed through the rainforest at low altitude, sailed above the base, slowed down and landed towards the airport.
Inside the cabin.
Since there were no seats, Leon stretched his legs out of the cabin and sat in the area near the cockpit, letting the breeze ruffle his hair and overlooking the entire base.
soon.
The assault boat hovered above the airport, and was guided by a ground crew member holding a fluorescent stick to land in the designated area.
However, during the landing, Leon saw an acquaintance.
Wait until the assault boat comes to a complete stop.
The "acquaintance" also came to Leon who stood up, stretched out his right hand to him, smiled sweetly and said: "Long time no see, Leon."
Leon also changed to holding the travel bag with his left hand, freed up his right hand to shake hands with the other party, and said with the same smile: "Ah, it's been a long time indeed, Aya."
In fact, Aya Breya is the full name of this acquaintance in Lyon.
It was precisely because Leon, who was on an investigative mission, implicated Brea in the strange mannequin incident that she, who was once a police officer in Venice, resolutely chose to join Umbrella and become an intelligence agent.
At this moment, Brea still has blond hair that does not reach her shoulders. She is similar to Leon in appearance, wearing dark-colored overalls and shirts.
But Brea's shirt is a slim fit. After all, she doesn't need a loose fit like Leon's to completely cover the weapons and equipment around her waist.
End of greetings.
Brea let go of her right hand, turned around and walked towards the black-painted Warthog, and said to Leon who was following her: "You are still as heroic as ever."
"It's okay." Leon spread his hands.
The two of them got into the car.
Brea was responsible for driving the Warthog, taking Leon through the base, and continued: "How about it, besides those six humanoid aliens, what else did you find?"
"They seem to have a tendency to form alliances, but my first impression is that they probably like to solve riddles... Forget it, let's wait and report the rest to our superiors."
Having said this, Leon turned to look at Brea, who was focusing on the road, and asked: "I'm curious how you came to Pulton."
"Nothing." Brea controlled the Warthog to turn right and said: "The border sector needed experienced intelligence agents, so I came here. Aren't you the same, and you haven't stopped running until now?"
"Not entirely, because I have a lot of vacations," Lyon joked.
"Okay...you really haven't changed much from before." Brea, who didn't like joking very much, shook his head helplessly.
The two talked.
They then drove into the 503rd Division base, which was part of Umbrella's temporary garrison area.
Among the information and files provided by the Red Queen to Leon and the agents, there are information about the intelligence director of each colony, as well as the garrison locations of reserves, Kriegs and UNSC.
Like Pulton.
A total of nine UNSC division-level troops, four Krieg combat regiments, and two parent regiments of reserve companies of wreckers were deployed on the ground.
Except for the 313th Krieger Regiment, which has been stationed at the Quantum Communication Relay Station for a long time, and a reserve company, the rest of the troops are distributed near the main city of Pulton.
There are hundreds of thousands or even more Jiralhanae beasts lurking in the Pulton Rainforest now. In addition, they have psychic reactions, so the main force needs the support of the Intelligence Department who is good at analysis.
And Lyon is indeed very lucky. Due to the recent situation, Breilla happened to lead his men to be temporarily stationed in the 503rd Division, and he happened to be able to respond to his support as soon as possible.
The Warthog comes to a halt.
The two got off the car, walked into a three-story command center, and then walked toward the control room on the top floor.
Come to the control room.
Civilian intelligence agents sat at their workstations, monitoring the rainforest near Buda Penny, trying to track the six elves, and at the same time, they continued to pay attention to the movements of the Jiralhanae.
The "unmanned reconnaissance drone" that transmits the images back to each screen is a bionic robot that is not afraid of moisture and heat, and can almost perfectly blend into the natural environment.
It is similar to the "ant" used by Lyon, but it is mostly a medium-sized bird, and it also uses living skin technology.
It is impossible to tell the difference between them and real birds just by looking at their appearance. In a complex environment like the rainforest, it can be regarded as a very efficient detection method.
"What's the result?" Brea asked.
Hear the words.
An intelligence officer reported to her: "Sir, as long as our reconnaissance plane successfully captures the humanoid figure, it will be destroyed by the opponent. There is a high probability of a psychic attack."
"I understand." Brea walked to the center of the control room and responded based on the intelligence officer's report:
"Stop tracking the humanoid aliens and let the emergency team recover the damaged reconnaissance aircraft. Also, the current focus of work is to assist the 503rd Division in searching and eradicating the Jiralhanae.
Finally, a communication request was sent to the Sector Governor, saying that Director Kennedy had discovered important information."
"Yes, sir."
The intelligence agents began to process the orders from Brea.
Leon, who was standing next to Brea, glanced around at the content on the holographic screen. After waiting for a moment, he saw many blue light points emitting in front of them, and then condensed into the original body John who was not wearing power armor.
The Sector Governor Brea mentioned was the original body of the Second Legion.
John is wearing a black uniform with a dark green tassel on his left shoulder, and a red-and-white umbrella and Spartan "Λ" logo button on his collar.
Although all the original bodies seem to be giants who can only kill, in fact, most of them have extraordinary management abilities, and Robert is at the "human ceiling" level.
If you concentrate on studying sociology, physics, architecture and other subjects, your achievements will definitely far exceed those of the great people in history.
It's just that the piles of government and military affairs, as well as understanding the situations faced by mankind, left these primitives with almost no leisure to study their own interests and hobbies.
John's holographic image was generated, and he lowered his head to look down at the two people of normal height, and said in a cold tone: "What information do you have."
Hear the words.
Leon immediately said: "We discovered six humanoid aliens with psychic powers. The other party has the intention to form an alliance, and the other party also mentioned the word "Evil God Pallas". Therefore, the Jiralhanae tribe that is raging in the fortress star area,
It may be related to another space."
"Evil God?" After learning this information, John replied with a normal expression: "I will report this matter and support will also make arrangements. If there is nothing else, please continue to carry out the investigation mission and provide more information.
"
"Understood (yes)." Leon and Brea nodded in response.
See this.
John just nodded lightly and dissipated the holographic image without saying anything more, restoring the control room to its original state.
"Evil God..." Brea muttered to himself and said to Leon: "Tell me, when did we no longer feel strange and awed by the word God, but became accustomed to it?"
"Let's start with the chairman." Leon did not study carefully, then raised his hand and patted Brea's left shoulder, reminding:
"What I have to consider now is how to complete the mission. My intuition tells me that the group of elves-like humanoid aliens are also chasing the Jiralhanae in the rainforest. If we launch an encirclement and suppression operation, we may accidentally encounter them.
.”
"I hope so."

…
Shortly after.
In the Harvest Star Universe, the main fleet of the Second Legion is stationed.
More than forty warships and ships of all levels are scattered and parked in an orbit about 400 kilometers above the ground, keeping in line with the rotation speed of the Harvest Star.
And located directly above the ground city of Ordega is an Olympus-class aircraft carrier that is nearly 15 kilometers away, with a sharp appearance and a regular body.
This is also the flagship of the Second Legion, the Hope.
The Olympus-class is a flagship built by the Reach Shipyard after absorbing the core technology of the Covenant Empire, condensing the cutting-edge technology of mankind, and improving it on the basis of the original project fourteen years ago.
Moreover, after fourteen years of rapid development, Reach and many constructed worlds have further enriched the "family tree" of the human fleet.
After all, competition for orders is still fierce.
