"Commander, do we need to carry out orbital bombing?"

"Not for the time being, we will bomb before the troops launch an attack, and before that, we need enough warships to ensure that we can block the attacks of outsiders." Tier Vadami looked at his adjutant, "They are also Humans, right?"

"Looks like a human but is stronger and fiercer than a human, but with all due respect, Commander," the adjutant said in a low voice, his emotions restrained so that no one else on the bridge could see, "Their technology is far away It surpasses us, and there are not many warships here, I think you have also seen the tall mecha that quickly builds armored vehicles and buildings... I don’t think they only have these dozens of warships.”

"...I know," sighed Tir Vadami, "but the prophets of the City of Charity demand that we seize that ancient artifact and annihilate the enemies here, though they promise to gather more fleets for us."

The strengthened Special Justice Fleet now has 320 five warships. They used a precise fault space jump to reach the back of the star and destroyed the orbital defenses deployed there. To a certain extent, this tactic is reasonable.

After all, no matter how strong the warships of the expeditionary fleet are, it is impossible for their shells to directly penetrate the planet, and any warship that launches an attack on the other side of the planet will be hit back by hundreds of warships from the Covenant!If you stay rigidly on the side of the ark, you will only be destroyed one by one, and you will fall into a state of chronic blood loss!

Moreover, the current control of the Ark is not in the hands of the Covenant. It is not clear where the Ark control room is located. Till Vadami can't even launch a precise surprise attack on it... The Special Justice Fleet can only be gradually generated on the Ark. The changing direction of gravity forces them to sail into the outer space, otherwise there is a possibility of being pulled into the ark suddenly by the gravity. Maybe the large warships in the fleet can resist with their superior engines, but what about the small warships? ?

Without the cover and containment of these fast warships, the large warships of the fleet will only be knocked out one by one by the enemy's concentrated superior firepower, not to mention the anti-orbital weapon stations that are constantly being built on the ark, and those things are on the battleships of the expedition fleet Under protection, they continuously fired shells in the direction of the Covenant warships, forcing the Covenant warships to move, and then a certain Covenant warship would be concentrated fire, its signal would completely disappear, and it would become an icy creature floating in the universe. coffin, or worse—

The small battleships of the expedition fleet, which can reach three-quarters of the speed of light, will fly close to the corner of the range of the Covenant warships, leaving the plasma balls emitted by the Covenant warships behind, and then a certain outer Covenant ship will appear. The battleship was jumped gang and finally disappeared in the fault space.

But after coming to Zhiyuan, another problem appeared on the planet. Will the enemy definitely attack from the other side of the planet?The universe is so vast, there is no absolute distinction between up and down, enemies can appear from any direction, but why didn't they do this?

"..."

Tir Vadami suddenly realized that he might be sinking into a swamp, and those humans stood by the side of the swamp, pushing themselves deeper with wooden sticks, watching the Special Justice Fleet drown themselves, or waiting for the people behind to put the cannon Pull it up and kill yourself directly...

Covenant: What are you waiting for?

Expedition Fleet: I am waiting for reinforcements to catch you all. What are you waiting for?

Star Alliance: ...

I'm also waiting for reinforcements!But when the reinforcements come in, they also deliver food! Hey!

Tier Vadami felt deeply powerless. As long as the ark stayed here for a day, it was impossible for the prophets served by the San Sims to let the "Holy Land" fall into the hands of humans. The League puts its strength into this bottomless pit!

Human beings, or that strange alien force will definitely look forward to this scene happening.

"...Commander? Commander Tyr Vadami!"

The voice of the adjutant pulled Tire back from his contemplation. He turned his head and found that the adjutant was handing over a data pad. After taking it, the adjutant said:

"Those Flood Demons... those infected warships have all crashed onto the planet... Why did such a terrible monster appear on the Holy Land?"

Yes, there are so many doubts that even the experienced Covenant Fleet Supreme Commander Till Vadami cannot answer——

No, he already had a treacherous guess in his heart.

"What are we going to do, Commander?"

"Let's leave those flood demons to humans to deal with. We only need to focus on destroying human defenses. But if we encounter flood demons, we have to deal with the contact troops by ourselves. Afterwards, we must summarize a sufficiently detailed report. Hand it over to the command center."

Till Vadami ordered, but he hesitated again, and whispered to his adjutant:

"You sum up all the situation here, and let a few suitable Sangheili fighters take the information and go to the special operations commander Artes Vatum in a small warship. He is my friend. When he Once you know that I sent the information, you will understand what I mean."

"Yes, Commander, I understand," said the adjutant, turning to leave.

"Huh...the future is bleak..." Tier Vadami sighed looking at the projection, but at this moment, the crew's shouts suddenly came to mind in the bridge:

"The signal of our battleship has been detected! It is a prophet! The prophet of sorrow came to support us with his fleet in person!"

Tyr Vadami lowered his head in despair, looking at the Covenant warships constantly jumping out of the fault space on the projection... He felt that he might become a sinner of the Covenant!

Nearly [-] warships of the Star Alliance are concentrated in the orbit of the star Reach.

Now, the battle is about to begin.

Chapter 616 Chapter 420 Chapter Six Fleet Encounter (11/20)

Huge warships passed through the sky that was dyed crimson by the flames of war on Star Zhiyuan, and a body of gold and red steel intertwined appeared from countless clouds of warship fragments refracting the light of stars, bringing mankind's revenge and anger.

A brief contact is enough to instantly ignite the starry sky.

Thousands of naval guns of the Covenant vanguard fleet spewed deadly firepower, energy projectors and plasma beams drew dazzling traces in the icy space, splashed on the light blue void shield of the golden battleship, fragments The dust produced after being burned formed a bright halo around the periphery of the ship.

Then, the expeditionary fleet began to counterattack——

The macro cannon is like a roaring giant mouth, extending along the hull, the energy batteries and plasma capacitors are boiling, ready to release deadly firepower, as if a switch has been pressed, battleships, battle barges and large cruisers It began to charge forward, and the battleship's stern ignited a slender bright blue tail flame.

The radar and target locking systems silently look at the enemy in the cold and empty dark universe, staring at the sleek battleships in the Covenant Vanguard Fleet, those integrated firepower systems will find them, lock them, track them, Watch those loathsome enemies like hounds eternally chasing their prey.

Subsequently, the macro cannon shell feeding is completed.

The first to fire was the battleship Emperor's Fury. This powerful battleship belonging to the Wrath Warriors Chapter has a solid armored bow, and a crescent-shaped sharp blade is installed on it. With the support of powerful engines, even warships of the same level will be cut off in the middle if they are hit!

The Emperor's Fury howled silently and spanned a distance of 10,000+ kilometers, cutting in from the left wing of the Covenant Vanguard Fleet. The shells fired by the heavy-duty macrocannon, under the support of electromagnetic and stance, drove the Covenant warships on the trajectory one by one Destroyed, and the light spear turrets arranged on the upper and lower sides of the hull irradiate the focused energy beam on the shield of the Covenant warship and the hull after the shield is broken, and then the armor of the Covenant warship will be pierced and destroyed. Vaporized, and finally turned into a bright firework, briefly releasing the light and heat of destruction.

The Covenant Vanguard Fleet concentrated its firepower on this outstanding battleship. Even a battleship-level void shield could not compete with the firepower of an entire fleet. The void shield that was continuously consumed until it disappeared would take time to rise again, and before that , the battleship Emperor's Wrath needs to rely on its own armor to resist every attack from the Covenant warships!

The angel relief on the battleship Emperor's Wrath was erased by the energy projectors of the Covenant warships, and the broken statue reflected the cold reflection of the plasma cluster hitting the hull. The battleship silently endured continuous attacks , The alien's attack left countless small and hideous scars on her body, smashing those gorgeous decorations to pieces, but they couldn't cause fatal scars on her.

Ten seconds later, the battleship Emperor's Wrath savagely crashed into the formation of the Star Alliance fleet——

The emperor's wrath was applied to the armored bow, symbolizing that the blade of the Luna Wolf kissed the armored cruiser of the Covenant, and the latter's shield flickered and then went out completely!The impact of the battleship broke the armor of the Covenant warship, and the Covenant soldiers in that ship could clearly hear the miserable howling and the sound of alloy breaking from the ship. It was just a time to breathe, just a sigh to dissipate in the universe In a short time, the warship of the Covenant Alliance was smashed into two pieces, the air that escaped from the break and the circuit that was torn off caused a brief explosion, forming sparks one after another.

The artillery fire of the macro artillery filled this small battlefield. The plasma cluster and energy beam were enough to leave an indelible mark on the retinas of the bystanders of this battle. Fighter jets, hundreds of Type 31 Seraph fighter jets poured out from several RCS-class armored cruisers and rushed towards the battleship Emperor's Fury like hungry wolves. They focused on attacking the most threatening light spear battery, and lost more than a dozen A fighter jet then managed to knock out one of the forts.

But no Covenant captain would have cheered such a small success...they were still losing.

The left-wing battleship detachment other than the battleship of the Emperor's Fury quickly followed up. They are the serrations on the blade, and every advance will take away the flesh and blood of the Covenant fleet. The bombardment array advanced steadily, tearing apart the formation of the Covenant fleet with fierce artillery fire. Even if the opponent used energy projectors to damage small and medium warships, large warships such as battle barges would often take over the battle position immediately, using their heavy armor and Void shields protect damaged ships within the fleet.

The Covenant fleet began to try to stay away from the intruding Emperor's Wrath and her detachment, but the Covenant warships, which were at an overall disadvantage in speed, could not escape the entanglement of the Emperor's Wrath, and even had to disperse a considerable part of their firepower and expeditionary fleet in order to counterattack. The left-wing detachment shoots at each other!

The balance of victory has already tilted towards the expeditionary fleet, and for the commander of the Covenant fleet, he is completely unacceptable that the victory will be taken away by mere humans. The crushing battles in the past have made almost all Covenant commanders feel full of hope. Contempt for humans, even if the "humans" who are fighting with them now come from other forces... But the cold reality has completely awakened the Star Alliance.

They failed, or were about to fail.

Finally, the Vanguard Fleet of the Star Alliance began to retreat, and the severely damaged warships in the fleet were left behind. They dragged their heavy and dilapidated bodies and slowly slid towards the Reach Star, scattering metal debris that had been tortured along the way, forming pieces of shining Fascinated with metallic clouds of mist.

The expeditionary fleet did not attempt to pursue them. The Star Alliance had already set up three large space stations on the back of Reach. The large energy projectors mounted on them were extremely threatening to their own warships. Enough firepower was needed to destroy them in an instant to ensure that the fleet would not Suffered huge losses, but it is obvious that the current expeditionary fleet with only more than 20 warships cannot do it, not to mention that there are hundreds of Covenant warships waiting around—

After the reinforcements led by the Prophet of Sorrow arrived, the Supreme Commander of the Special Justice Fleet, Till Vadami, was almost emptied, while the former began to send the fleet non-stop to the other side of the Ark and Reach. The expedition fleet encountered only part of it.

After repelling the attack of the Covenant fleet here, the somewhat exhausted expeditionary fleet must go to the battlefield between the UNSC fleet and the Covenant fleet. They are still needed there. As for the Ark... the Great Sage Da Vinci of the Order of the Circle Will be delighted to see more alien technology coming her way.

Chapter 617 Chapter 420 Seven "The Longest Day" (12) (20/[-])

Captain Ralph, the company commander of the 425th Company of the 355th Brigade of the UNSC Army, took off his helmet and breathed in the air that had not been polluted by the Flood.

The original army brigade of the 355th company was only a quarter of the people left, the brigade headquarters and the guard company directly under the brigade were completely wiped out, and even the entire brigade headquarters became the lair of the flood. Before the order, these brave and loyal fighters still fought on their ground, not retreating a step!

Now some of the remnants who retreated from the front line have been integrated into the 425th Brigade, allowing the latter to expand to more than 8000 people. Of course, more retreating troops have been evacuated to other locations, or simply follow the city's development. The residents retreated together.

This is the only city on the back of Reach (the other side of the main UNSC control area) that still has a large number of residents, while the other cities have been evacuated, and some of them have been sent here, and they will be with the city's Residents were evacuated in groups.

According to Rorschach's estimate, the Star Alliance will launch an attack early the next morning, and tonight he will send away the last batch of residents and wounded soldiers, and the rest can only wait for the construction vehicles to complete the connection After the underground passage of the city and the distant fortress, shift away a little bit.

The planetary orbits of the main city groups on Reach are protected by UNSC fleets and large orbital defense facilities. Those powerful electromagnetic railguns will give any Star Alliance fleet that dares to attack here a blow, so now with Reach rotation, the two fleets began to move like hide and seek:

After the Covenant Fleet could not immediately destroy the living forces on the Reach Star, they wanted to ensure control of the Reach Star, hoping that they would have more confidence when they recaptured the Ark.

If Reach hadn't been destroyed or dominated by the Covenant, the Covenant fleet would be easily caught between two sides when they regained the Ark. Among other things, the large railguns placed in the planet's orbit would be moved in the direction of the Ark. Especially after solving the energy problem... The picture is too beautiful to imagine.

The distance between the Ark and Reach is about the distance from the Earth to Jupiter. Such a distance is not much different from face-to-face in interstellar wars, but both sides are wary of the existence of the Ark. Holy Land", and the other side... If the giant structure that can make the engine oil explode is blown up by one's own side, Da Vinci and other mechanical priests will probably be so angry that they will go to see Om Messiah on the spot.

Of course, whether to blow up the ark is one thing, but whether the ark can be blown up is another matter.

This led to the fact that at the very beginning, both sides were in a state of fear, and could only use small-scale attacks and gradually compete for key nodes to ensure that the balance of victory was tilted towards their own side... until the Prophet of Sorrow of the Star Alliance personally led the Star Alliance until reinforcements arrive.

"Orbital bombing is about to start again?"

Captain Ralfa raised his head and looked at the night sky, where dozens of light spots were shining. He was standing on the top platform of the front fortress, while the captain's head was covered with layer after layer of faintly visible shields, and on top of the layers of shields, there is a larger shield that shimmers with light blue light. It is a large void shield array specially used to protect cities in the imperial universe. This thing even Can defend against the orbital bombardment of an Imperial fleet!

"Didn't we carry out dozens of bombings, and now we are doing useless work..."

"The aliens are testing the weak points of the defense," a low and somewhat hoarse voice came, and Captain Ralfa turned his head to look, and he saw the tall warrior's face and the thick gray armor on his body, "Hello, Captain Ralph, we meet again."

"Oh, my pleasure, uh..."

"Sergeant Edmonton of the third company of the Knights of Glory," the soldier said with a hint of a smile in his voice, "You must firmly remember the name of your savior."

"Okay, okay," Captain Ralph raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "Sergeant Edmonton, are you here too?"

"Commander Rorschach needs the Astartes to ensure the stability of the front line, and this will be the starting point for counterattacks in the future."

Edmonton said indifferently, he was born in the Imperial Fist Legion, from joining the Legion in the middle of the Great Crusade, to the naval battle of Farr, and finally to the siege of Terra, this Astartes veteran has gone through too much, he has great respect for Nathaniel Gallo, the Chapter Commander of the Knights of Glory, admitted frankly that he did not have the ability to command, and rejected the position of company commander several times.

"How long do we need to stay here?"

"One day, one month, one year, until we launch a counterattack, retreat or die," Edmonton said cruelly lightly, and the helmeted warrior prevented Captain Ralph from seeing clearly. Tate's expression also made the captain think about it:

What kind of face was that under that helmet?

Resolute, kind, indifferent, or... is that not a human face at all?

"It sounds a bit scary, but if you really only need to stick to it for one day, no matter what the final result is, it can be called good news."

Captain Ralph shook his head, throwing out his weird thoughts, he looked away, and said, "I can still think of those soldiers who were dragged into the flood tide, and they will appear in another way soon in front of us, and we have to give these poor people a good time."

"It was the right choice, and you don't have to beat yourself up about it."

"Ah, I know, I know... I'm just a little sentimental."

Captain Ralph sighed, the orbital bombardment of the Covenant warships splashed gorgeous flashes on the shield, like summer fireworks, illuminating the figures of Captain Ralph and Sergeant Edmonton, one tall and one short Two figures stood in the bright night, enjoying the last sliver of tranquility before the great war.

After a moment of silence, Captain Ralph asked:

"In your universe, what kind of brutal war needs fighters like you?"

Captain Ralfa's eyes reflected the densely packed artillery and anti-aircraft guns around him. An hour ago, the sound of heavy vehicles rolling over the mud and leveling the road was non-stop, and the roar of fighter jet engines came and went, all of which clearly brought about the war. But now, these voices have all disappeared, and the entire defense line is like a poisonous snake dormant in the bushes, waiting for its prey to come.

"..."

Captain Ralph did not wait for Edmonton's report, but only got a sigh full of pain.

"That's right, it looks like you've worked hard too," Captain Ralfa didn't continue to ask, he looked at the faint light on the distant horizon, and said softly:

"Dawn is coming."

"The longest 'day' is about to begin..."

Chapter 618 Chapter 420 Eight "The Longest Day" (13) (20/[-])

When the star shining on Reach sprinkled its brilliance on this land, the Covenant began a large-scale attack.

The Demon Fighter is fighting with the T3 Hornet fighter in the sky. The former has better hovering ability and is more suitable for dogfighting, while the latter relies on the firepower advantage of the large fleet to escape in one blow. No matter how many battles there are, it will never do anything entanglement.

On the ground, a large number of vehicles came from one end of the horizon, and more Covenant soldiers took the Type 25 Undead Troop Transport or the Type 52 Phantom Troop Transport to a place not far from the line of defense. Advance step by step.

Rorschach did not order his armored group to go out of the line of defense, but let it shrink under the protection of the shield. Every time he tried to send an engineering vehicle or armored group to establish a delay position, there would always be a few beams of plasma It fell from the sky, boiling the earth, and turning the engineering vehicles into dust.

After probing a few times, Rorschach gave up this plan and began to strengthen the city's defenses until now——

The T3 Duke heavy artillery began to shoot. The height of this giant artillery facility is even a little higher than the ACU, and the main ammunition is anti-matter shells. When it started to roar, the whole earth trembled, cried, and finally cracked.

The dazzling light spread outward along with the shock wave, and the Covenant troops under the artillery fire were melted almost instantly. The flesh and thin armor could not resist the antimatter artillery strike. Then, two Covenant ROS-class heavy cruisers descended On the battlefield, he used his body to intercept the artillery fire coming from a distance, and under the shadow of the two 3000-meter-long battleships, the ground troops of the Covenant quickly rushed forward.

It’s not that the Star Alliance didn’t try to airdrop directly over the city, but as soon as their airborne pods, troop carriers, and ground support fighters appeared over the city, they were shot down by densely packed high-level dual-purpose anti-aircraft guns, and fell into the city’s skyline with black smoke. In the streets and green belts, the few trees and weeds burned to death by the flames generated by the explosion of the wreckage are the greatest results that this airborne operation can achieve.

In order to support the advancement of the ground forces, more than 100 Covenant warships in orbit began orbital bombing. Energy projectors, plasma, and even more violent and primitive antimatter bombs all attacked the isolated city on the back of Reach. The absolute attack caused the shield above the entire city to flicker fiercely, but even so, that thin shield still stood upright, exuding a divine radiance.

Several Type 55 "Kraken Kraken" super-heavy siege towers were dropped on the ground. These fixed firepower delivery units attacked the city defense line as soon as they landed. The huge plasma cluster thumped the front line with a milky white trail. On the shields, those shields were shattered in just a few rounds of attacks, followed by the orbital bombing of the Covenant warships!

These aliens are definitely not objects that can be slaughtered wantonly. They have courage, loyalty and discipline. After quickly correcting their mentality, the commanders of the Covenant put out 100% of their energy to face the joint headquarters and the UNSC alliance.

The light point defenses on the periphery of the line of defense were swept away, including all the previously set up mines, leaving only the air distorted by the high temperature after the plasma beam swept across the ground.

Almost at the same time as the orbital bombardment, the armored vehicles of the Covenant troops charged. Their infantry advanced with light vehicles and troop carriers, and even some troop carriers that were too far ahead would produce shock waves and strong winds after the orbital bombardment Falling to the ground staggeringly.

"..."

Rorschach frowned and set the firepower projection time. He needed non-stop artillery fire to suppress the Covenant's attack, and the enemy's well-coordinated attack made the UEF supreme commander a little interested——

Stretching and moving his lower fingers, Rorschach began to take over the specific command of the defense facilities and armor clusters on the entire defense line, and then, the point defense facilities that had been silent when the artillery fired from the rear began to attack actively!

The first to attack was the T3 Marauder heavy point defense with the longest range and the greatest power. It had a plasma Gatling cannon, and its ferocious firepower directly destroyed a team of Wraith light assault platforms of the Covenant Alliance. There are thousands of point defenses on the entire defense line!

If the Covenant troops take advantage of the shooting interval of the T3 point defense, or use heavy armor and shields to resist the attack, then what awaits them will be the T2 tripod medium point defense, a triple mount with a faster rate of fire. Gauss cannons will make Covenant soldiers drown in their own blood!
