Chapter 250 Why don't you bow to a human being? Kneel down!
As for the Anggi in the Star Alliance, it is a rather strange alien race, but they are the main members of the Star Alliance army, accounting for more than half of the total.

The appearance of the Angyi people is rather rough and sloppy. At first glance, they look like a wretched, short goblin. In addition, they are not very smart and are timid, so they are also called wild boars.

However, these wild boar beasts, with an average height of only 1.4 meters, have poor combat capabilities and often run away and surrender, but they have a very practical and powerful racial talent.

That means they are very fertile!
The reproductive capacity of the Boar Beast is comparable to that of the Zerg. If a batch dies, another batch can be created, which has the good attributes of being a good leek.

Therefore, the Prophet made full use of them and designated the wild boars as special cannon fodder material for the Covenant.

Normally, when it comes to fighting, we would use the human wave tactic first, sending a large number of wild boars to start a group and absorb enemy damage.

When the enemy's ammunition and personnel energy are almost exhausted, let the elites, Jiralhanae, and jackals go up to reap the team battle.

Therefore, in the Star Alliance camp, the Grunts cannot even be considered as proper allies, but can only be said to be "slaves" who are qualified to participate in the war.

The Covenant got rich by excavating the Forerunner ruins, but the Grunts could not enjoy any of the benefits at all and were just pure tools.

For this reason, the boars chose to take a gamble and join the elites of the Sangheili to become their boss. They believed that by following this civilized race with martial ethics, they should be able to get along a little better.

And the actual situation is indeed like this. Since following the elite big brother, the wild boars just follow the elites and rush forward whenever there is a battle.

But once the elite is killed, the wild boar will immediately surrender or collapse and flee.

As for these disappointed little brothers, the elites could only accept the wild boars with a pinch of their noses and warn them not to run away, otherwise they would break their necks.

However, the elites who have always respected strength and combat honor, although they look down on these useless little brothers, will not bully them wantonly.

However, the ruthless ghost-faced beast would catch the wild boar beast and roast it to eat when it was short of food or in a bad mood.

As a leader, the prophet chose to condone this behavior of harming his own people.

After all, in their eyes, wild boars really have no "human rights" to speak of. It's good enough that they are not exterminated by the Covenant. Taking them to war is a sign of respect for the wild boars.

Speaking of the Jiralhanae, this race has the same moral qualities as jackals. In fact, they are ape-like creatures with an average height of 2.8 meters and look like gorillas.

The Jiralhanae also occupy a considerable proportion in the Covenant camp, and their status is second only to the elites!

Although the IQ of the Jiralhanae is not very high and they are also manic and irritable by nature, they have the same talent as the Boarmon in recognizing their big brother.

For any civilization, it is not shameful to recognize a leader and seek support, because fighting alone is worse than using the majority to bully the minority.

The Jiralhanae, who focused all their efforts on pleasing their leader, the Prophet, not only got themselves a job as security captain, but also a very high status.

There is even a tendency for them to replace the elites and become the main combat force of the Star Alliance!
But as prophets of the Star Alliance leaders, although they like to listen to flattery, when it comes to work, they can still see the situation clearly.

The Jiralhanae have low IQs and cannot control their tempers. To put it bluntly, they are just giant babies whose defenses are easily broken by red temperatures. If you let them be the commanders in the war, how can they get the job done?

Therefore, the Prophet only arranged the Jiralhanae as the second-in-command in the Covenant forces, and usually let the elites serve as the top commanders in combat.

However, the ghost-faced beasts that are throwing tantrums will not cooperate with the elites in combat at all. Instead, they will set up their own special combat units. Therefore, there will definitely be no ghost-faced beasts in combat units with elites.

There is no way. It's the elites who blocked the progress of the ghost-faced beasts. The two races also have old grudges. If they can avoid fighting, it's already a face-saving thing for the leader, the prophet.

At this time, after releasing thousands of battle teams, the Covenant's CCS-class cruiser was still steadily anchored in the air, with the gravity elevator continuously operated.

The members of the Star Alliance, who were a mixture of various races, "crawled" down one by one like a colorful mosaic.

"ah--!"

"Cuck!!"

When they saw the wild beasts in the core of the Shield World, the timid boar beasts habitually let out bursts of shouts, and their hands and feet began to tremble slightly.

Obviously, the Flood on the ground brought deep psychological trauma to these wild boar beasts. They were afraid that the beasts inside the shield world were as terrifying and deadly as the Flood outside.

However, they have guns in their hands, so they are not panicking. Although they are afraid, the wild boars will still use their plasma pistols to easily deal with the alien beasts that pose no real threat to them.

However, the wild boars' careless shooting angered their Jiralhanae leaders.

He was already feeling annoyed fighting alongside the elites, and now these damn wild boar beasts were actually making trouble without his permission. This was clearly a challenge to his authority!
"Who told you to shoot randomly?!"

With an angry roar, the Jiraiya leader of the combat team immediately picked up a wild boar beast and bit off the beast's neck in front of all the team members.

With a crisp sound of "crack", the wild boar was killed instantly. Under the terrified gaze of the team members, the ghost-faced beast threw the team member out.

It's like throwing away garbage.

After warning the group of Jiralhanae not to shoot without his permission, in order to demonstrate his authority, Jiralhanae continued to issue orders:

"Now everyone, go patrol the surroundings and make sure there are no traces of the Flood here. If you want to shoot someone else, report to me first!"

Faced with the commander's angry rebuke, the remaining wild boars dared not speak out. After all, their leader was the Ghost-faced Beast. They could only obey the order unconditionally and enter the primeval forest to conduct reconnaissance.

However, just as the numerous wild boar beasts began to spread out in all directions, a huge fleet array suddenly appeared above them.

Looking at those unidentified objects that looked like blades but were flying vertically, the wild boars that had just calmed down suddenly became uneasy and ran around in a group.

But after being scolded by their respective superiors, these wild boar beasts were able to calm down. They raised their plasma guns tremblingly and aimed them at the 10 Sojourner warships that were tens of thousands of meters long.

At the same time, the elites from all sides and the captains of the Ghost Faces also sent warnings to the central control consoles of the ships at the headquarters, asking them to prepare to fire to defend against the enemy.

They continued to lead the team to maintain their formation, holding up their weapons and keeping on guard.

After doing all this, all the members of the Star Alliance were very nervous. After all, the scale of the knife-shaped battleship that came over them was much larger than their fleet.

They are surrounded and probably can't escape!
Not long after, after the Sojourner battleship array completed the encirclement of the Covenant fleet, the Astartes warriors led by David Martinez also came to the ground.

When they saw the tall warriors wearing exquisite and colorful heavy MarkX power armor, the boar beasts were immediately shocked:

"They must be Forerunner warriors!"

"Please God, forgive us for our crime of disturbing the world!"

"..."After seeing the mighty appearance of the Astartes warriors, all the wild boar beasts hurriedly knelt down and began to express their submission and worship to David and others.

In nature, all creatures are "appearance-conscious" and they all look at faces.

The colorful, tall, ferocious and imposing creature is obviously not someone that is easy to mess with. As a warrior of God, it certainly cannot be a fragile and short weakling.

It just so happened that this time, in order to better carry out the Flood clearing mission, David chose a set of heavy armor that was more defensive and looked one size larger than ordinary power armor.

In addition, the outer shell of the power armor is a bright fiery red, so it looks particularly domineering and eye-catching.

Therefore, the wild boars regarded David and other Astartes warriors as the "God's Guards" of the forerunners.

Seeing a group of wild boars worshiping them, David and Reed were a little confused at first, but they quickly reacted.

The other party thinks he is their god and mistakenly believes he is the forerunner!
But it’s a good thing this way, as it makes it easier for them to catch all the members of the Star Alliance here.

"Dr. Halsey really guessed it right. The Covenant races here regard us as gods. This makes things much easier for us."

David communicated a few words with other Astartes warriors in the team voice.

These warriors have basically read the "script" given by their boss Leon, and know the relationships, grievances and hatreds between the Covenant races such as the Wild Boars, the Jiralhanae, and the Elites.

After thinking for a moment, David decided to negotiate with the elites and Jiralhanae officers in charge first, so that they would submit to him and obey his orders.

At this time, David took the initiative to step forward and began to scan the members of the Star Alliance in front of him with the device on his eyes. When they saw David's eyes, they could actually emit a faint light.

The jackals below suddenly felt as if they were falling into an icy cave. The fear of being watched by God came over them like a tide, and they hurriedly knelt down together to express their submission to David.

"Cuck!"

"Ah! It's really God's presence!"

All the jackal soldiers followed suit and knelt down along with the wild boar beast, fearing that their movements were not fast enough and would anger the god before them.

"Roar--!"

However, just when an atmosphere of pious worship was created, an untimely roar disturbed the atmosphere.

David immediately turned his head and saw a Jiralhanae officer who was about the same height as them, growling in a hoarse voice with a series of provocative and questioning sounds.

It was obvious that it did not believe that the Astartes warrior in front of it was the legendary forerunner.

After all, the Covenant fleet has explored the Forerunner ruins for so many years and dug up so many treasures, but has never seen any living Forerunners.

In response to this, the Prophets, the leaders of the Star Alliance, stated that the Forerunners had already transcended and ascended into a higher cosmic dimension, and were no longer an existence that mortals like them could comprehend.

If they want to follow in the footsteps of gods, they must go on a pilgrimage, find the halo, and learn to "ascend" like the forerunners!
Although the races of the Star Alliance do not know that the halo and ascension they desire is nothing more than the end of death.

Therefore, when seeing David and other Astartes warriors, the Jiralhanae had every reason to suspect that these seemingly majestic giants were actually the ones who had got there first!

Not the so-called pioneer.

"Since you see a human being, why don't you bow down?"

Before the Jiralhanae officer could issue an order to the surrounding wild boars and jackals to stand up and prepare for confrontation again, David suddenly shouted at the Jiralhanae through the external speaker function of his helmet:

"Give me a sigh!"

David doesn't care whether the other person can understand what he says or not. As long as he uses his body language and emotions to get the other person to do things according to his ideas, he can use them to lead the other person to do things according to his ideas.

In short, the momentum must be strong enough.

As expected, looking at David approaching him and the roar just now, the Ghost Face Beast was obviously a little confused and scared, and didn't know what to do for a while.

At this moment, facing David, who was two times bigger than himself, the Ghost Face Beast subconsciously wanted to retreat, but when he thought about so many people staring at it, wouldn’t it be too cowardly to retreat now!
At this moment, the elite Sangheili team that rushed to the scene from the Covenant flagship came to the side of the Jiralhanae.

"What happened."

An elite officer also wearing red power armor spoke up. He was a colonel of the Covenant advance team, one level higher in rank than the Jiralhanae lieutenant.

For officers of its level, the power armor is all red, which is to highlight their authority and dominance.

Apparently, in nature, bright red takes the highest priority in the hierarchy of colors, and only high-ranking Covenant officers are worthy of wearing red power armor.

"You idiot, can't you see that these damn heretics are pretending to be our gods and making the boar beasts and jackals kneel down!"

Seeing that it was an elite officer coming, the Ghost-faced Beast didn't care about the powerful enemy at hand and cursed at the elite, as he had a lot of anger that he had no place to vent.

Just take it out on your own people.

Seeing that a mere Ghost-faced Beast lieutenant dared to talk back to him, the elite did not tolerate the man and simply pushed him aside with an iron elbow.

"A mere lieutenant dares to contradict his superior. Do you think you can afford to sacrifice your life? How dare you talk to me like that!" the elite officer scolded.

The Ghost-faced Beast lieutenant was hit by an elbow and immediately became furious. He even drew his gun and pointed it at his immediate superior in front of everyone.

Seeing that the internal conflict between the two sides was about to break out, David, who had been watching the whole show, almost laughed out loud. He did not expect that the internal conflicts of the Star Alliance could even reach the level of a mutiny.

If this happened in a giant company in the world, many of its executives would be executed.

"I don't care what conflicts you have. The only thing you should do now is to kneel down in front of me!"

"My time is limited. Those who kneel will be pardoned. Those who don't kneel will die!"

David didn't want to fool around with them, so he reached for his waist and pulled out his chainsword. He then gripped the bolter tightly and aimed it at the two people in front of him.

When they saw David, the burly "red giant", the ghost-faced beasts and the elites turned their attention to the other side.

However, since they couldn't understand what the other party was saying, and David made movements to draw his sword and raise his gun, the situation among the three forces suddenly became tense.
