Chapter 272: Pack and Go! Integration in Progress! Marauding Team!
When they saw the Astartes warriors outside the portholes, seemingly planning to release palm mines at the same time to completely destroy the transport boat, the UNSC senior officials in the cabin were already in despair.
Whether it is Terrence or Margaret, to put it bluntly, they are ordinary people after all. Supreme power cannot change their basic attributes as fragile human beings.
At this moment, the senior executives in the cabin were breathing rapidly and cold sweat was streaming down their foreheads, fearing that they would be swallowed up by the ruthless ball of light in the next second.
Fortunately, Adam Hammer did not kill them indiscriminately. Instead, he hacked into the internal communication channel of the Wasp through the ICE intrusion protocol.
Then, Adam Hammer spoke to the people inside in his unique heavy metal voice:
"From now on, you have been captured by the Universal Corporation. If you want to survive, you must obey. Otherwise, you know very well what your fate will be!"
Adam Hammer then issued instructions to the crew in the cockpit:
"Immediately head to the space station in low Earth orbit. Don't try to play any tricks. I'll give you half a minute to consider and make a decision."
After saying that, Adam Hammer began the countdown.
In an instant, all the senior UNSC generals present turned their eyes to Terrence.
They were not soliciting or negotiating with Terrence, but asking him to quickly agree to Adam Hammer's request!
If Terrence dared to disregard the lives of these senior officials and continued to stubbornly refuse to obey orders, they would definitely kill this so-called admiral first.
"General, give the order quickly!"
The driver's urging voice was also heard on the radio channel.
Now the life and death of these people all depend on Terrence's decision. Of course, both the crew members and the senior executives in the cabin must want to continue to live.
What they really want is to surrender quickly and become captives of the giant companies, and stop playing the sentimental drama of being heroes and martyrs.
The ground and air forces of the Universal Corporation have completely crushed the UNSC's combat units. Even the agents who infiltrated the Earth headquarters felt like they were back home.
Their meticulous and huge defense array and meticulous intelligence members are just like decorations and cannot defend against any agents of the giant company!
What is the need for us to resist to the bitter end?
What's more, giant companies even have super agents who can fly, and you never know when they will bring out an agent who can evade the ground. It would be completely boring to continue insisting on this.
"General, for the sake of the overall situation and the future of mankind, please follow the other party's arrangements."
At this time, Margaret, who had originally wanted to resist, also tactfully reminded Admiral Terrence that they had completely lost, and it was better to surrender and become prisoners than to end up with the plane destroyed and everyone dead.
Terrence clenched his teeth and did not answer immediately. It was not until Adam Hammer counted down to 10 seconds that he shook his head and said to the driver:
"Do as they say."
When Terrence said this, it was not that he suddenly figured it out and decided to give up the attempt, but he saw several ONI senior executives slowly approaching him.
It was obvious that if he did not agree to surrender immediately, his fate would be to die at the hands of his colleagues!
"Yes, General!"
After receiving instructions from the supreme commander, the driver breathed a sigh of relief and immediately controlled the Wasp transport boat towards the space station in low-Earth orbit.
Adam Hammer then gave the order to the other Astartes warriors to release the palm mines that were ready to be launched and go to the space station together with the Wasp.
Next, under the "escort" of many Astartes warriors, the Wasp slowly approached the space station near the orbit.
When other senior officials at the headquarters base learned that the admiral and the ONI commander-in-chief had all been taken away by the giant corporation, they immediately dispatched a large number of frigates and destroyers to the vicinity of the space station.
At this moment, more than a dozen UNSC frigates and destroyers have arrived not far from the space station, and the main and secondary guns of these warships are all aimed at Adam Hammer.
Of course, this approach is completely unnecessary, but even though it is useless, it still has to be done.
After all, the leader was kidnapped, and if they, as subordinates, didn't make some noise, the situation would be quite embarrassing.
Now, the interior of the cabin.
Agents including Adam Hammer were already standing on the metal deck, escorting these UNSC high-ranking officials away.
During this process, Terrence, Margaret, Andrew and other senior executives were all escorted to another transport boat like stray dogs.
Soon, under the control of the giant company's agents, the transport boat quickly rushed out of the port and rushed towards the vortex emitting a faint blue light.
Under the watchful eyes of a number of UNSC warships, their direct leaders and supreme commanders were all taken away by Adam Hammer, and the transport boats also headed for the Eridanus II system to which the giant corporation belonged.
……
In a star field four thousand light years away, the territory of the Star Alliance!
boom--!
At this moment, in the third orbit of a galaxy somewhere, a fierce interstellar naval battle is taking place.
Thousands of Star Alliance warships are engaged in continuous clashes and battles with the warships of the Universal Alliance.
Although the war was fought very fiercely, the number of warships and soldiers consumed by both sides was constantly increasing alternately.
But the number of warships deployed by the world's giant companies was actually less than 200, and they were all conventional basic frigates and cruisers such as the Paris-class and Valiant-class.
Their job is to transport supplies, weapons, elites and wild boar soldiers. As a logistics force, they naturally do not need to risk their lives to fight with the ghost-faced beasts.
The flagship of this fleet is the Infinity-class aircraft carrier commanded by Asako Mori and Raleigh. They are responsible for commanding other elite warships and their own fleet.
Among them, the number of warships belonging to the elite tribe reached 539, most of which were CRS-class cruisers, and the remaining three CSO aircraft carriers were the elite's main combat ships.
It has to be said that when it comes to fighting, the elites really work hard.
Masako Mori and Raleigh were also very happy about this. After all, the giant company recruited elites just to let them fight against other Star Alliance forces.
Anyway, it’s not our own people who die in the war, so just do your best and be done with it!
However, the elites also enjoy such professional tasks. They are born to "fight! Have fun", so they are quite excited when fighting against those useless guys like the Jiralhanae.
Although the Old Covenant Army, composed of Prophets and Jiralhanae, had a force size more than twice that of the Universal Alliance, their front lines were still in unstoppable retreat.
The main reason for this is that apart from their professional ability in fighting, their capabilities are not as good as those of the battle-hardened commanders of giant companies and the warriors of the elite tribes.
It’s also because the giant global enterprise has equipped this fleet with a powerful weapon!
boom--! !
At this moment, a dazzling blue light blasted out, instantly destroying dozens of CCS-class battlecruisers. A large number of Jiraiya coalition warships were tragically dismembered by this beam of light.
Immediately afterwards, under the attack launched by the gravitational field, another group of warships were twisted into twists, and the prophets and ghost-faced beasts inside the hulls were squeezed into blood foam and minced meat.
Countless warships exploded with brilliant sparks, eventually becoming pitch-black wreckage and, affected by the gravity of the surrounding planets, falling into the atmosphere.
That’s right, that powerful weapon is the Sojourner Dreadnought!
In order to speed up the process of unifying the Star Alliance, Leon specially dispatched a large number of Sojourner Dreadnoughts to launch expeditions to various territories of the Star Alliance.
It was precisely because of the addition of this group of Sojourner Dreadnoughts that the Universal Alliance's attack was so unstoppable, slowly tipping the balance of victory towards the Universal Corporation.
After all, the Forerunner civilization is the former leader of the Halo universe. The Sojourner Dreadnoughts they left behind are used to fight the Covenant, their unfilial descendants. It is a simple case of a father beating his son.
Under normal circumstances, a Sojourner Dreadnought is capable of destroying hundreds of Covenant warships on its own.
This is the fundamental reason why after entering the Halo universe, Leon prioritized finding the remains of the Forerunners and occupying the Shield World.
Because only those who first obtained the Sojourner Dreadnought of the Forerunners, the large amount of legacy left by the Forerunners, and the legal status of reclaimers can obtain it.
Only then can he obtain stronger weapons and equipment, and win over the elite groups within the Star Alliance.
This is just like before fighting the ultimate BOSS, players must first develop, hunt for treasures and pick up epic equipment, and form gangs to increase their own strength.
Only by equipping the full-level equipment and fighting in groups can you defeat the big boss with the highest efficiency and achieve the achievement of passing the level. It is also under the wise guidance of Li Ang that the soldiers of various units of the Universal Corporation can rely on the crushing of equipment to achieve an excellent KDA value with low mortality rate and high kill rate.
Through this "Halo" copy, the difficulty of the universe giant company fighting the galactic war was directly lowered from the difficult mode to the normal mode.
If we can obtain all the knowledge content of [Neurophysics] and understand the scientific and technological information contained therein, the strength of the world's giant enterprises can be increased by ten levels!
Become the number one force in the entire Halo universe in one fell swoop!
It can be said that ever since Leon's plan in the Shield World and the City of High Charity was successful, the countdown has begun for the Universal Corporation to integrate the entire Star Alliance and the human world.
……
While a fierce naval battle was taking place in the third orbit, under the planet in the fourth orbit, in a quiet valley, a coalition consisting of Jiralhanae, Jackals, Boar Beasts and Hunters was stationed there.
This was originally a palace complex used for the Prophets' enjoyment, but now it has become their frontline refuge.
Due to the sudden integrated strike launched by the Universal Alliance, and the fierce fighting taking place in the third orbit, they had no choice but to hide here temporarily and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Of course, this is also the command and operations center of the third-orbit front. The prophet issues orders here, and the soldiers on the front line follow suit to carry out a series of military actions.
Since the elites' checks and balances were gone, the Prophets finally took complete control of the Star Alliance. But at the same time, when the elites left the Star Alliance, their combat effectiveness and authority were greatly reduced.
The combat capability of the elite race is beyond doubt.
But more importantly, the elites are one of the major shareholders of the Star Alliance. They have conquered many members of the Star Alliance by relying on their specialty of fighting, so their prestige within the Star Alliance is still relatively high.
Now that the Prophets and the Elites are splitting up, other Covenant members have also taken sides. For example, some of the Grunts support the Elites, while others continue to support the Prophets.
As for the Ghost-Faced Beast Tribe, under the orders of their chief, they still chose to follow the Prophets and work for them willingly.
There is no way. After all, he is the master chosen by himself. Now the Ghost-faced Beast and the Prophet have become a community of interests.
At this point, it is too late to change camps and stand on the same side again, so they can only go down this path to the end.
Therefore, the question of whether humans are recyclers or not, and whether the forerunners exist or not, is actually not important at all.
The important thing is that the Jiralhanae can only support the Prophet to continue to lead the Star Alliance, and strive to crush the elites and the giant corporations, and bring the Star Alliance back on the path of unifying the universe!
The Jackals are typical fence-sitters. As interstellar pirates, they only follow one principle, and that is to sell their products based on the price.
Stand on the side of whoever gives you more benefits.
Therefore, whether it is the Universal Alliance or the Prophet Clan, there are jackal soldiers.
The wild boars, who make up the largest number of members of the Star Alliance, were evenly split, with each choosing to stand on either side. The practice of betting separately is an investment that can protect capital.
For species like them whose IQ is not high, betting on only one side can easily lead to their total destruction, so the best approach is to stand on separate teams.
Whoosh! !
At this time, dozens of Banshee fighters belonging to the Old Star Alliance, as well as other transport planes and carrier-based aircraft flew over the valley.
As the war progressed, the forces of the Universal Alliance were approaching the planet's low-Earth orbit.
Although the planet's near-Earth orbit has not yet been completely destroyed, the giant company's carrier-based aircraft fleet has already locked onto the Prophet's sanctuary!
They are fighting with the Covenant fleet for air supremacy over the planet.
boom--!
Bang!
At this moment, a formation consisting of Storm Hawk gunships, Sky Hawk shuttles, and Dragonfly ornithopters used the auxiliary vision provided by the aircraft carrier to lock the location of the Prophet Base.
In order to stop the attack of the Universal Alliance, the Ghost Face had to dispatch a large number of air forces to try to lure away this flying formation.
Of course, their main purpose is not to engage in a head-on confrontation with the flying forces of the universe, but to consume the opponent's ammunition supply through tug-of-war and entanglement.
Buy time for the prophets below to move their base.
As long as the Universal Alliance's ammunition is exhausted, humans will either return to the mothership for replenishment or land on the ground and engage in close combat with the Jiralhanae.
Just like that, a fierce and brilliant battle between fighter planes took place in the sky above the valley.
Dense missiles and machine guns continued to fire, and metal shells fell like a rare metal rain.
On the ground, hearing the continuous explosions in the sky and the roar of machine guns, the ghost-faced beasts and jackals couldn't help but let out low growls.
Faced with the unknown outcome of the battle and their own future, they can only use this most primitive form of war cry to dispel their inner confusion and fear.
Their task at this moment is to patrol carefully along the established route, detect whether there are any suspicious people nearby, and carry out decapitation operations.
At the same time, there are dozens of gnolls scattered everywhere as sentinels, using their racial talents to undertake reconnaissance missions.
After having contact with the forces of the Cosmos Corporation for a period of time, the soldiers of the Covenant also learned that the Cosmos Corporation was good at and liked to use decapitation operations to directly destroy their command centers.
So when it comes to patrolling, they are quite cautious and careful.
At this moment, the gnolls on the southern front suddenly sensed the presence of some large creature, which seemed to be making rhythmic footsteps.
And judging from the frequency of the noise, it seems that quite a few people have come!
Soon, just as they were about to issue a warning to alert nearby patrol teams, a group of Astartes warriors wearing blue power armor suddenly appeared in front of them.
When the jackals saw this group of Astartes warriors whose skin color was different from the previous flaming red power armor, they were obviously stunned.
Apparently, they didn't expect the other party to have other colors!
Before the jackals could react, the Astartes warriors had already rushed in front of them in the blink of an eye, and then with a pull of their hands, they actually tore the jackals to pieces.
That's right, this group of Astartes warriors wearing blue MarkX power armor are precisely the assassin squad equipped with plundering power armor.
They move extremely fast and are agile, and their power armor is equipped with a variety of advanced optical camouflage devices, allowing them to blend completely into the environment.
As long as they want, they can activate the invisible "ghost mode" at any time and approach the enemy's target quietly.
The captain of this ghost team was Mann, who had just been transferred from the rear.
After Mann served as interstellar governor for less than a month under Leon's arrangement, he was urgently transferred down and continued to work on the front line.
Obviously, some people are only suitable for this type of grassroots work tasks, and they personally lead the team to defeat the enemy.
There are still too few comprehensive talents like V.
Therefore, the original 001 "Underworld" universe interstellar governor has been replaced by Lucius Lane.
The former mayor of Night City has now become the governor of the Universal City Utopia, but under Leon's arrangement, he was temporarily transferred to the 001 universe as the governor.
It was also the first time that I reached the peak of my life.
The interstellar governor of the 002 "Pacific Rim" universe is replaced by the cabinet member, the intelligent AI Shiver, and this AI is doing a pretty good job so far.
Has long-term potential as a Star Governor.
As for Johnny Silverhand, he was continued to be assigned to the front line to carry out operational tasks in various places as the first-line combat captain.
At this moment, after killing these Jackal Sentinels, Mann and this group of plundering Astartes warriors continued to turn on ghost mode and sneaked quietly and silently.
They have magnetic levitation devices under their feet, so even if they are wearing huge and heavy power armor, they will not make any noise due to rapid walking.
Therefore, facing this group of Astartes warriors, even the wild animals around them did not notice anything and continued to look for food.
