supreme commander's bizarre adventure

"Oh, thank you," Rorschach reached out to take the teacup, and then asked with a smile:

"Negotiations going well?"

"It went smoother than I expected. I have to say, Commander Rorschach, the price offered by your joint headquarters is very exciting, and the restrictions are much less than we expected," Admiral Hood said. A middle-aged man with a serious expression, but according to Rorschach's prediction, he will become the commander of the UNSC someday in the future.

"The joint headquarters has no resource requirements, and the rich material foundation allows us to take on some more important responsibilities." Rorschach waved his hand, and put the black tea cup in his hand on the small table behind the railing. "The void is so vast. , There are so many civilizations that have stepped into the starry sky, but when we really look around, we find that we are so weak... Establishing cooperation and covenants is one of the best ways to protect ourselves."

Hearing Rorschach's words, Admiral Hood shook his head. He looked at the Thunderhawk fighter jet passing through the clouds above and said:

"In our view, the joint headquarters is strong enough."

"That also depends on the comparison... Forget it, let's not talk about it," Rorschach took out his own data terminal and handed it to Admiral Hood.

"A Covenant warship has appeared on the edge of the galaxy?"

"The enemy seems to have assembled... I remember that Covenant warships can use precise space jumps to get close to the planet, right?"

Rorschach asked, but he wasn't worried about this issue. As long as it was a battle on the ground, the torrent of UEF's armor would completely submerge it. The only thing to consider now was the issue of casualties.Rorschach didn't want the UNSC to suffer too much loss, and he didn't want to see the warships of the expedition fleet sink... The Star Alliance is not useless, and it must pay attention to it.

"That's true, otherwise the Covenant warship near Bayonet Base would not have bypassed our monitoring and appeared on Reach. For these details, you can ask Commander Stanford, who is the direct leader here," Admiral Hood sighed and said, the heavy pressure is on every UNSC soldier and officer, but fortunately, now we have seen a glimmer of victory——

Allies from another universe will share this pressure for humanity.

"I heard that you are still at war with a certain force, and your main fleet is not here?" Admiral Hood's eyes were filled with solemnity and curiosity. He must carefully evaluate the impact of further alliances. Talked about the terms of support in the Human-Covenant War, but to go any further, the UEG would have to know more about the Combined Headquarters.

As for whether it will be conquered by the United Headquarters... Don't be kidding, is it so troublesome to conquer?

Hearing Admiral Hood's words, Rorschach laughed. He took a sip of the cold tea and said gently:

"To be precise, the Joint Headquarters is not a normal civilization. We can only be regarded as a joint military organization, but I can assure you that the Joint Headquarters will not stay here. If it is not for John, we will not even set foot on the ground. Enter here."

"Master Chief..." Admiral Hood remained silent, "He has helped us a lot. If he wasn't needed on the battlefield, he might be a general now."

The identity of the Master Chief is a bit embarrassing now, and ONI also has the idea of ​​reviewing him, but this idea was quickly refuted by the UNSC admirals headed by Admiral Hood, and they demanded that all relevant actions to review the identity of the Master Chief be eliminated file.

"I can understand your thoughts, but all doubts will eventually dissipate with the passage of time," Rorschach looked at Admiral Hood, reached out and nodded the round table, two glasses of champagne suddenly appeared on the table, he greeted Admiral Hood's surprised eyes smiled and said:

"Although it is still a bit early, we can first celebrate the success of the negotiations."

"Then it would be great."

Admiral Hood's hand paused slightly, then he picked up the wine glass without any hesitation, clinked the glass with Rorschach lightly, and drank the wine in one gulp.

Just as Rorschach and Admiral Hood were about to talk about other things, the Wrath Warrior Chapter, a little further away from Reach, struck the bridge of the cruiser Iron Fist.

"Brother, are those alien warships still stuck at the edge of the galaxy?"

"Yes," a technical sergeant handed the data terminal to the non-commissioned officer of the seventh company. Various data and red dots symbolizing the enemy were displayed on the screen:

"They seem to be planning to hit us with push-on strikes with numbers and large towable space stations."

"Is that so..."

The non-commissioned officer nodded. He was a soldier from the Iron Warriors Legion, but now he could only wear golden armor. After a little thought, the non-commissioned officer turned to look at the mechanical priest in the bridge and asked:

"Father, did Commander Rorschach issue any reconnaissance orders?"

"The Chosen One of Ohm Messiah has not given any guidance," the mechanical priest's icy voice echoed in the slightly silent bridge, "The expedition fleet is currently commanded by Dumakar Ryder, the commander of the third company of the Knights of Glory. , he did not issue an investigation order."

"...Tsk," the sergeant sneered disdainfully, "It's from the Imperial Fist."

"Don't be so jealous, my sergeant," said the technical sergeant without raising his head. He is currently performing secondary maintenance on all kinds of machinery in the bridge, in order to make them reach the most perfect condition before the battle begins, " Fist of the Empire, specialized in naval warfare, it makes sense for Commander Rorschach to choose him."

"Steel Warriors are also good at sea battles!"

"But you were severely beaten by the Imperial Fist in the Battle of Farr."

"...That's because those guys are traitors!"

The sergeant said angrily, followed by words such as "Emperor Fist's brain is as stubborn as a rock", "Tie Yong is also good at defense", and "Tie Yong will fight better if Faer Haizhan changes his identities". There was an air of joy in the bridge.

But just when the sergeant was about to say something more, the mechanical priest in the bridge shouted loudly:

"Ahead! Hyperspace reaction!!!"

"what--"

A huge light blue aperture slowly opened in front of the strike cruiser, and a huge petal-shaped structure emerged from it!

Chapter 604 Chapter 410

The appearance of the Ark seemed to be a signal, and a large number of Covenant ships responded simultaneously on the radars of the UNSC and the expeditionary fleet.The time between the appearance of the Star Alliance battleship and the Ark was almost only half an hour. This kind of time can be regarded as an "instant" for a war, but judging from the reaction of the Star Alliance fleet, it seems that they have nothing to do with it. Unaware.

Several Star Alliance battleships launched an attack on the Ark, but this only aroused the defense system of the Ark itself. A large number of Ark Guardians, and even some defensive artillery that had not yet been occupied began to launch counterattacks against the Star Alliance warships. .

After quickly clarifying the status quo, the super commander of the Covenant Fleet in charge of the battle here, Till Vadami, began to rely on the side of the Ark, and began to fight with the expeditionary fleet and human battleships. The existence of it seems to be restrained——

Although the quality of the expeditionary fleet is far superior to that of the Covenant, the human warships are not. Moreover, the Covenant is full of warships and gravity traps on all branches of the ark. If the expeditionary fleet wants to attack a certain place, they can only pull out one by one. Those mobile fortress space stations that maintain the blockade...even need to allocate some troops to ensure that the human warships will not be directly penetrated by the Star Alliance.

Due to the gravity of the ark itself, the expeditionary fleet did not dare to jump too close to the ark. Otherwise, before sinking the enemy warship, they would fall on the surface of the ark due to various chaotic parameters. Fortunately, the ark It has a device to constrain gravity, but it didn't cause trouble to nearby planets such as Zhiyuan Star.

Just as the two sides were exploring around the ark, Rorschach received information from the Great Sage Da Vinci. After a quick scan, he connected to Admiral Hood's communication:

"Don't let the ground troops approach that ark. There are a large number of infected creatures on it. Moreover, you must do a good job of disinfecting your battleship. The Spirit of Fire is your battleship, right? Then it can go home now." ,

"Spirit of Fire?! I always thought they were wiped out!" Admiral Hood's voice seemed very happy. He used to be the first officer on the Spirit of Fire and had a very good relationship with the legendary Captain Carter. , "This is really great, I will inform Commander Stanforth... Commander Rorschach, is the human fleet still maintaining the defense of Reach Star?"

"Yes, you need to be wary of the Covenant warships directly cutting off the connection between the expedition fleet and Reach through the fault space. I don't think anyone would like a lot of enemies popping up behind them," Rorschach said quickly. Wearing the ACU's driving armor, ready to go to the ark for combat, "Concentrate the city's population well and protect the large shield generator I built. It will protect the city from orbital bombing."

"Of course, the UNSC will not let its allies down."

Hearing Admiral Hood's words, Rorschach smiled, and then turned off the communication.

"ACU, activate."

While Rorschach was debugging the ACU, on the Astartes battle barge "Steel Immortal", the commander of the [-]th Company of Fury Warriors, Kyle Warren, looked through the report in the data link expressionlessly, and then he raised his head Looking at the angry warriors who were preparing their weapons and armor, they shouted loudly:

"When everyone stepped on the ark, they immediately let the armor enter the internal circulation state. This time, the enemies are not only those aliens, but also parasites that can infect living organisms!"

After hearing the ebb and flow of responses, Kyle Warren went on to shout:

"The two squadrons are under the command of Sergeant Qi Nong, and they are going to establish the first line of defense. The main equipment is mainly detonation weapons...Damn it, where did you die, Qi Nong?!"

"Come here, I'm here!"

Kyle Warren followed the prestige and found a guy among a group of golden canned boys raised his hand. After seeing Qinon, he nodded and continued to shout:

"Commander Rorschach asked us to open up a flat landing field. At that time, the battle barge will need to enter the inner range of the ark. It is very likely that we will encounter alien warships. You must roll to the surface of the ark before the battle barge is knocked down. superior!"

"Those scum can also bring down our battleship?!"

"A frigate has already been sunk!" Kyle Warren said seriously, "The frigate encountered a concentrated fire and has now crashed to the surface of the ark. At that time, other companies will search for survivors. We What we have to do now is to protect Commander Rorschach's ACU!"

Kyle Warren's words made the angry warriors cheer. They had been guessing which unit's fighters would fight with Rorschach first after he returned, and now the soldiers of the fifth company of angry warriors knew.

The Warriors of Wrath now has more than 9000 official fighters, and more than 1000 recruits are being trained in fortresses in various universes, and about half of the fighters in these official Astartes have experienced the Great Crusade and Terra For the veterans who besieged the city, in the decades since Rorschach left, the United Headquarters has seldom engaged in wars against the outside world. Generally speaking, while maintaining the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, the low-intensity battles have also preserved the lives of a large number of veterans. —the Covenant soldiers won't like the news.

After completing the preparation of the equipment, the battle barge Iron Immortal will forcefully break through the entanglement of the Covenant warships together with the other four warships, join with Da Vinci's Mechanicus exploration fleet, and drop ground troops on the ark to ease The pressure of the Skitarii and the gradual cover for the Marines who evacuated the Spirit of Fire.

The current situation is that the Covenant warships are divided into three major parts. One part relies on the heavy fortress-style space station and heavy warships to block the branch cantilever of the ark, and let the warships move close to the ark itself, so that the expeditionary fleet can cast a mouse. Mainly small warships, in addition to using defensive firepower to support the Covenant forces on the surface of the ark, they also continued to harass the Mechanicum exploration fleet.

The warships of the Empire series have a powerful macro artillery system, but the range of fire has always been a huge problem. The light spear developed for this has the shields and armors that cannot instantly destroy the Covenant fleet, especially in the face of high-speed This is especially true for small and medium warships.

The last remaining part of the Covenant fleet began to suppress the Reach Star and its orbital defense system, making it impossible for human warships to effectively support the expedition fleet.

It has to be said that this new commander of the Covenant fleet has a very high level of command and can use all available resources and means... But even so, it is extremely difficult for the Covenant to take a step forward. In the empty universe, the Covenant must ensure that the number of battleships between itself and the expeditionary fleet is five to one in order to conduct fleet battles, otherwise it will be a target!

The way to break the situation now is... to see who can completely control the Ark!

Chapter 605 Chapter 410 Five: ACU dominates the land!

Till Vadami didn't pay attention to the report that a tall robot was teleported on the surface of the ark, but after waiting for an hour, when one of his troops was defeated by a group of combat robots on the plain, this The Covenant's supercommander realized he had made a huge mistake.

At the same time, Rorschach is staying in his ACU to build a chain of energy-concentrating laser towers. The tall mechs walk across the ground, leaving a series of footprints, and on both sides of the ACU are towering towers. In the armor factory equipped with shields and anti-aircraft modules, the nano-printing device inside is continuously manufacturing fighter planes and armor.

In fact, for Rorschach, the troublesome thing is not the soldiers of the Star Alliance but the Flood. After reaching a certain number, this parasitic creature will upgrade and have a certain thinking. Flood spores are even more difficult to guard against.

Fortunately, they are still living organisms, and they still have to bow their heads obediently in front of Purgatory Weapons (a large-scale flame weapon)... Then another problem arises, that is, if Purgatory Weapons are equipped on a large scale, the armor produced will not The troops did not have enough suppression power.

After all, the range of flamethrowers is still far behind that of the Covenant troops equipped with large-scale plasma weapons. Furthermore, if the armor equipped with the purgatory cannon does not produce its own raw materials, it must be supplied logistically. This is also the current constraint. One of the reasons for the advancing speed of UEF armored units.

After finding that he could not quickly resolve the battle on the Ark, Rorschach quickly returned to his own combat style:

urbanization.

A large number of engineering vehicles rush into the mountainous area under the cover of armored forces, turning the entire mountainous area into artillery positions and air defense positions. Medium or heavy artillery stations will be built in slightly flatter places. The armored vehicle of the League or the body of the Flood will be reduced to pieces, and with the help of the data link, this shelling will unify and coordinate the artillery scattered among the mountains. After dispersing the possibility of being hit, the maximum Destroy the incoming enemy to a certain extent.

It is not that the Star Alliance did not send fighter jets to destroy the artillery hidden in the mountains, but they basically plunged into the range of the T3 Jaguar mobile rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns, two Gatling-style electromagnetic anti-aircraft guns It took only ten minutes for the huge amount of barrage fired to completely annihilate the entire attacking fleet among the mountains of the ark!

As for the main propulsion armor on the ground... Rorschach removed the tank gun on the original T2 pillar heavy tank, replaced it with a purgatory cannon, and then transformed the ammunition depot into a fuel tank. In this way, a fire-breathing tank was born Yes, although the combat efficiency is far inferior to redesigning a special anti-biological armor, it is still sufficient for now.

The fighting method against the Flood is basically the self-propelled artillery for half an hour of firepower coverage, and then the flame-breathing tank mixed with high-level and dual-purpose self-propelled anti-aircraft guns to carry out armored cluster advancement to directly burn the remnants of the Flood on the battlefield Exhausted.

After the suppression and cleanup of this area is completed, there will be heavy transport planes to drop supplies here, and then there will be engineering vehicles to complete the establishment of the supply station, and use this as a node to connect other supply stations to form a point-line connection. network to support the rolling advance of the Panzer Corps.

"It's kind of weird..." Rorschach sat in the cockpit of the ACU, frowning and looking at the plan on the battlefield. Although the overall situation of the Panzer Corps is in a state of advancement, a considerable amount of energy has been involved in the fighting Flood spores and infested bio-legions in action.

"The biomass in the entire rear area is not enough, and the sporadic Flood will only be wiped out easily, but this kind of quantity that is already capable of destroying the nodes of the supply station... infiltrates through the ground?"

Thinking of this, Rorschach connected the communication of Da Vinci Great Sage:

"Great Sage, will there be intelligent individuals in the Flood Demon?"

"There is this possibility," the voice of the great sage echoed in the cockpit of the ACU. The voice sounded very excited, and it seemed that this great and wonderful giant structure made the latter linger, "We need to be in the main place of the Ark. Is there any help in the control room?"

"Not needed for the time being, but the Skitarii can gradually withdraw from the surface and enter the underground facilities of the ark to guard the Flood Demon Containment Facility. If you have spare capacity, suppress the underground Flood Demons and prevent them from appearing on the ground. Also, since If there is any possibility of an enemy leader... find it and I will send the Astartes to destroy it."

"Yes, as you wish, Lord Rorschach."

Seeing the dimming of the communication indicator, Rorschach exhaled lightly. He began to operate the ACU to walk on this man-made land, gradually expanding the scope of the production base.

Every ten seconds, a fully armed armored vehicle will drive out of the army factory, and the newly manufactured T1 units and some T2 units will be incorporated into the patrol force to protect the supply nodes and the energy transmission pipelines between the nodes , while most of the T2 and T3 units will be organized into the main army, starting from a supply node, moving in a certain direction, destroying all enemies along the way, including the Covenant and the Flood.

Because the Flood lacked air units, Rorschach put most of his fighters and bombers into the battle with the Covenant. Although the Covenant could use anti-aircraft firepower, fighter jets, and even naval guns to disperse and annihilate those huge fleets, But in ten minutes, or even a few minutes later, a large group of fighter planes would swarm over and entertain the Covenant troops with the missiles and electromagnetic guns they carried.

Such harassment and losses made the Star Alliance unbearable, so they also began to build fixed air defense positions and artillery positions on the surface of the ark... The Star Alliance's move instead handed over the initiative on the battlefield to Rorschach, who When I discovered this phenomenon through the reconnaissance plane, I almost laughed out loud.

If the Covenant gathers their heavy armored vehicles and launches an offensive with infantry and fighter jets, Rorschach really can't stand it. Although the rear can shrink the defense line and push back, the supply stations and various types of equipment set up on the front line The defensive position would definitely be wiped out, but now, the Star Alliance actually wanted to fight him? !

The Fleet Commander of the Star Alliance does have something, but the commander on the ground... Presumably, the Star Alliance has been domineering in this universe for a long time with its own warships, even in the ground battlefield with humans. If they fail in the middle, they will also use the orbital bombing of the battleships to regain their ground. This makes the Covenant's ground tactics very mediocre, and commanders at all levels will only use some relatively simple and crude tactics.

"Since you want to play positional warfare with me, then the threat level of the Covenant Alliance can be lowered by one level." Rorschach's mouth turned up slightly, and he began to maintain the suppression of the Covenant forces, reducing nearly half of his armor. The troops were transferred out and turned to clean up the Flood.

"Wrath Warrior Chapter, prepare for battle."

Chapter 606 Chapter 410 The Sixth Wave (1/20)

Iron-gray heavy tanks slowly rolled over the scorched black sand and stones that had been scorched by flames, making some fine friction sounds, and above this armored cluster, dozens of T2 Stinger gunboats streaked across the sky, casting a horrible terrible shadow.

The air on the entire ark was gradually being infected by the Flood, and for Rorschach, he chose a simple and crude method - to use the control of the ark by the great sage Da Vinci to directly block the selected area , and then inject promethium into that area, and directly ignite it after reaching a certain concentration!

The instantly ignited flame soared into the sky and devoured all creatures in the entire area. Whether it was the flood or various plants and animals, such flames usually lasted for more than ten minutes until the promethium inside was completely exhausted ...Rorschach once calculated the amount of promethium needed to burn up the entire surface of the ark. After finding out that it was an astronomical figure, he gave up this idea and turned to targeted clearing of some areas severely infected by the Flood.

The ecosystem on the surface of the Ark is beautiful, and the various animals and plants inside are also of great research value, but in the face of UEF’s torrent of war, everything is crushed, recycled, and filled into the quantum network with quality, and these qualities will After precise distribution by quantum computers, they are distributed to various manufacturing factories to produce new armored vehicles.

The armored torrent, mainly composed of T2 pillar heavy tanks, defeated a part of the flood, and then set its target on the Covenant troops who were trying to expand the control range outwards. The armor-piercing projectiles under electromagnetic acceleration instantly overloaded the Covenant armor. The shield, followed by the second shelling completely destroyed the scarab assault platform!

The Star Alliance also showed a sharp counterattack, a large number of plasma artillery covered the armor cluster in an instant, and turned dozens of pillar tanks into useless black wreckage, but after they destroyed dozens of tanks, there was More armored vehicles rumbled down the other side of the hill, including quite a few mobile shield generators!

After the Covenant troops suffered huge losses, they had to retreat to the range of artillery support, relying on a solid line of defense to suppress the charge of the UEF armored cluster.

"Plasma... I feel like I'm back in the battle against the Eternal Apocalypse," Rorschach looked very relaxed. He is currently sitting in the cockpit of the ACU, watching a large amount of data across the control screen, and is upgrading smoothly. After that, his current thinking speed has been dozens of times faster than before, he can handle battles on dozens of fronts at the same time, and he can even catch a tarantula on his small island with one hand when he has time...

Just as Rorschach was about to catch the second tarantula, the communication from the commander of the Fifth Company of Wrath Warriors, Kyle Warren, came in, and the image of the latter appeared on the screen.

"Commander Rorschach, we have arrived at the predetermined location!"

Captain Astartes is wearing a helmet, so that Rorschach can't see his expression clearly, and looking over his body, Rorschach can see a yellow wave is sweeping... This is a group of floods who jumped through the defense line Demons, although they have encountered a wave of air strikes on the road, the large individuals among these abominable monsters have evolved a hard top shell, which can resist air strikes and at the same time protect quite a few small bodies below them.

If it weren't for the fear of the Ark itself and the self-discipline machine on it as a guard, that is, it might be beaten by the guards of the temple, Rorschach would have directly washed the ground with nuclear bombs, so there is no need for such trouble...

Due to the vastness of the Ark, even if Rorschach continued to manufacture armored vehicles, it seemed a little powerless in the face of the flood attacking everywhere. The longer and longer battle lines made the defense line sparse, making it difficult to defend against the infiltrating flood. Demon, which is why Rorschach laughed when he heard the Covenant huddled together.

"Captain Kyle Warren, you need to bring your company here to block the advance of the Flood, and buy at least an hour. At that time, I will let the fighter jets drop incendiary bombs. Pay attention to this."

"Yes, as you wish, Commander Rorschach."
