supreme commander's bizarre adventure

But speaking of it, the communication with the Sangheili was also a novel experience for Sanguinius. After all, in the imperial universe, especially during the Great Crusade, the only relationship between humans and aliens was guns, swords and paper. Pens, guns and swords are used to kill aliens, and paper and pens are used to record the victories of human warriors.

But up to now, there are always some aliens worthy of human admiration in the endless void, or the existence of "alien races" described in a milder language, such as the protoss under the command of Artanis, appearing This Sangheili in front of the Archangel... remains to be seen.

In the private discussion between the Archangel and Rorschach, if it wasn't for creating a suitable opponent for the humans here, then these Sanheili, who are an important part of the Star Alliance, would definitely not be able to escape.

And through the excavation of the Ark database, the United Headquarters and the UNSC have mastered an even more astonishing news:

The current human beings are the products of the evolution from the "ancient humans". These San Sim people called "prophets" were allies with the ancient humans at that time, and the form of government between the two is similar to the Star Alliance!And after that, there are endless entanglements... The past history is too complicated to repeat, but the only thing that is certain is that the San Simians betrayed the ancient humans.

There are still quite a few conservative San-Shims on Jenyukom (the home planet of the San-Shims). Compared with the radical San-Shims who established the Star Alliance, although they did not directly participate in the war against humans, During the battle, their attitude towards human beings, who claim to be the successors of the forerunners, is not much different from that of the radicals.

So, they were also liquidated, and this liquidation didn't even let humans handle it at all:

The Grunts, Gnolls, Sangheilis, and even a considerable part of the Jiralhani who escaped from the city of fraternity drove warships, led by a certain exile warlord, along the star map to San Sim People's home planet rushes to...

Chapter 631 Chapter 440 Ends

The San Sims were not completely exterminated in the end, but they suffered a more terrible punishment than extermination:

After the parent star was destroyed, the remaining about [-] San Sims were sent to a planet in the most remote galaxy in the Milky Way. They had nothing but some clothes that could cover their bodies. The first night on a planet would kill a quarter of its life... but this exile was not punishment, it was mercy.

The real punishment is that these San Sims have been infected with genetic weapons created by the sages of the Order of the Circle, that is to say, their descendants will not be able to perform mathematical operations with more than two digits.

The glorious history and vast knowledge of the San'Shiums in the past will come to an end in the next generation. After thousands or tens of thousands of years, the effectiveness of genetic weapons will slowly fade, and before that, the "San'Shims" will Completely lost in history, and its successors, if they have any successors... will start to develop civilization again, fight, unify, step into the stars, face this vast universe and the cold gaze of its ancient enemies , and the civilization that stepped into the starry sky at that time has nothing to do with the San Sims.

As for now... Humanity is about to celebrate its victory.

When the various races that once formed the Star Alliance retreated to their home planet to lick their wounds, the UNSC and the Joint Headquarters started a grand celebration on Reach, and such a celebration would also be held on Earth, but Rorschach and Senge Les all declined the invitation of President Ruth Sharette and only planned to participate in the victory parade on Reach.

The grand celebration on the Reach Star has been going on for a whole day, but when the main human cities on the Reach Star are shrouded in darkness, people gather to light candles or incense, or even more primitive torches. Residents of Reach Star who have different folk customs but are also human beings commemorate the soldiers who died in the war in these strange ways.

These dots of fire converged into a torrent of light, but mixed with it was a low cry that echoed under the night sky.

"..."

Rorschach stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor of the hotel prepared by UNSC, looking at the city below. After staying quietly for a while, he turned his head to look at the Master Chief who walked into the living room and Cortana beside him.

"It looks like our war hero has finally escaped from the banquet," Rorschach looked at the Master Chief who was wearing a military uniform. The latter stroked his hair and responded with a serious face:

"Please call this behavior 'tactical retreat'."

"...Why didn't I know that you have become so eloquent in the past few decades?" Luo Xia said with a smile. He pointed to the sofa and said:

"Sit down, both of you."

After watching the Master Chief and Cortana, who was obviously nervous, take their seats, Rorschach poured himself some tea and said gently:

"Fall what you like, you have lived on Reach for so long, you must know more than me... However, John, when the armistice agreement was signed with the Sangheili people today, Till Vadami I think highly of you, have you dealt with him before?"

"I don't know, maybe he fought with his soldiers before," the Master Chief shook his head, but immediately, he said seriously:

"I'm here to ask you something."

"What's the matter? Come on, John, there's nothing we can't talk about," Rorschach took a sip of tea, looked at the face of the Master Chief, raised his eyebrows, and added:

"If you want me to ask about Da Vinci's attitude towards the ownership of the Ark, or the halos scattered throughout the galaxy, I suggest you talk about something else... Don't talk about me about this kind of thing, Even adding pressure from the two Primarchs will not necessarily make the Order of the Circle give in, and we will never turn against the most loyal mechanical priests under our command for the sake of UEG."

"That's all right."

The Master Chief shrugged, and with a slight smile on his face, he said something else:

"I heard that you and the UNSC have signed a support agreement. At that time, Spartans will join the joint headquarters as part of the auxiliary army here?"

"Indeed... what do you think, John?"

"In my case, I probably won't join the auxiliary army. Jerome and the others are very interested... Actually, I'm ready to go through the UNSC officer promotion process," the Master Chief breathed out slowly, and he made a very Great determination, "I will gradually become the commander of the UNSC in the next time. This is also my dream."

"That's it..." Luo Xia pondered for a while, then raised his eyes, and met the eyes of the Master Chief, and said lightly:

"If I told you that you could be an Astartes again, would you come back to us?"

"..."

The Master Chief didn't speak, and the expression on his face didn't change, but Cortana, who was sitting next to him, keenly felt that the Master Chief's breathing was getting thicker, which made Cortana worry...she didn't want to lose him.

The atmosphere in the entire living room became a little stiff, and Rorschach drank his tea indifferently, waiting for the Master Chief's response.

"..."

After a not-so-long silence, the Master Chief exhaled slowly, looked up at Rorschach, and said with a smile:

"No, I'm a Spartan under the UNSC, Master Chief John."

"To be honest, it's a pity, but it's reasonable," Rorschach also sighed, he really admired John, "If you really want to become an Astartes, then I can guarantee that no one will become you hindrance."

"Except for myself?"

The Master Chief laughed genuinely this time. He picked up the teacup and touched it lightly with the teacup raised by Rorschach as if it were a goblet full of wine:

"I've been fighting here for 20 years, and I won't leave... An opera has to see the end."

"If this is your choice, I will respect it," Rorschach said with a smile in his eyes, and he said to the Master Chief and Cortana in a teasing tone:

"Oh yes, there is one more thing. I suggest that you two adopt a child in the future. After all, no matter how much the artificial human body imitates human beings, it does not mean that they can perform the same reproductive behavior as humans..."

"..."

This time, it was the Master Chief and Cortana's turn to conduct a "tactical retreat" together.

Looking at the two fleeing, Rorschach laughed a few times, and then he turned on the data terminal, which showed the long-awaited figure of Commander Yurha, who sent a report to Rorschach, And frowned and said:

"Master Rorschach, we found that an ONI intelligence warship is heading towards a certain planet in the Ark database. According to the information obtained after intercepting the communication, they have found a forerunner relic, and they plan to catch up with the mechanical priest before the United Headquarters." arrive."

"Which planet?"

"Requiem."

Section 632 Chapter 440 II Actions of ONI

A UNSC Sahara-class heavy cruiser revealed itself outside an unknown planet. This cruiser is the slowest and weakest warship in the UNSC, but her concealment is enough to make up for these reputations. It's a fatal flaw.

"Requiem...I don't like the name," said Colonel Talka, the captain who commanded the stealth warship, with some disgust on his face, but the person standing next to the captain used In a more excited tone, he said:

"What we have to do now is to discover the cards that truly belong to human beings."

"Maybe, I hope our actions will not be discovered... I heard that the 'Allies' also have some 'magicians' who can see the future."

Colonel Talka straightened his hat, turned his head and looked at a lieutenant colonel from the ONI Naval Intelligence Bureau next to him. The latter was a tall man with glasses and an ordinary appearance. The type you won't find anymore...perfect for intelligence work.

"Whether signing the covenant is good or bad, we all need to make preparations," Lieutenant Colonel David Lieutenant Colonel responded in a deep voice. Of course, his name is not that, it's just a code name, "If the battle of Reach Star fails this time, Then human beings will slide into the abyss of death and genocide, but who can guarantee that our powerful 'allies' will not do anything far more terrifying than the Star Alliance?"

Upon hearing this, Colonel Talka sighed, and focused his attention on that weird forerunner planet. According to the analysis of the forerunner relics on Earth, ONI knows many locations, although a lot of information still takes a long time verification and analysis, but it is clear that many people in ONI cannot wait any longer——

The bewilderment of developments beyond common sense, the vigilance of the unknown, and the fear of the future prompted ONI to start moving towards various unknown areas on the star map.

Each ONI warship carries a large number of nuclear bombs. As long as the Flood infection is found, the warship will throw the nuclear bomb after the exploration team uploads the data, completely destroying the possibility of the Flood infection... For this operation , ONI and its personnel involved in the operation are well aware.

"Slow down the speed, we are approaching that planet," Captain Talka didn't think about those more profound things, and instead focused on this operation, "Release the Pelican and prepare to start the investigation."

A few minutes later, two Pelicans flew out of the hangar and flew towards Requiem below.

"..."

Captain Talka and Lieutenant Colonel David waited on the ship for a long time, but there was no signal from below except for the initial successful establishment of the frontline base. Shen.

After a little thought, Captain Talka ordered:

"Send the Spartan black team, we need more information."

The black team of Spartans, with four members (053, 143, 031, 101), took the Pelican troop carrier to the surface of Requiem, followed the signal to find the frontline base set up by the advance team, but found that it was already full of people. Go empty!

"Margaret (053) reported that we found no traces of the advance team, nor any traces of the Flood's infection."

As the captain of the Spartan Black Team, Margaret quickly reported to Captain Talka, but the latter did not hear any response. After several more attempts, she looked at the other members of the team, seriously said:

"We're in trouble, folks."

"I can see, so what do we need to do now?" Another woman in the team, Roman (143), asked, waving the gun in her hand, "Retreat, or continue?"

"Integrate all the information first, and find a place to store it according to the standard procedure," Margaret said, "then we will continue to set off."

"Okay, you are the captain."

Just as the four Spartan soldiers had finished handling various matters at the frontline base, they walked out of the base carefully, but bumped into a strange "creature"... No, this is not a creature:

The white metal armor and precise transmission structure make up this war machine. Even the naked eye can tell that it is covered with heavy armor, and the big sword in its hand exudes a dangerous atmosphere——

A caretaker who once belonged to the Forerunner War Legion appeared in front of the Spartans.

"Back slowly," Margaret said in a low voice, and then the Spartans backed away slowly, but behind the watchman appeared more Forerunner mechanical soldiers, holding rifles that clearly belonged to Forerunner technology and various weapons.

"This is really not good..."

But just as the Spartan black team was about to retreat into the frontline base, and then looked for an opportunity to leave on the Pelican, the watchman suddenly attacked them as if he had just woken up from a dream, and even the pioneer soldiers behind him also started shooting , The ferocious attack made the Spartans a little nervous, but the counterattack was equally quick.

"Margaret! We must get out of here!"

Otto (031) shouted loudly. He first avoided the guard's large sword with a short body, and kicked on the latter's body to distance him.

"Fortunately, the Master Chief will do a little melee training from time to time, otherwise I really don't know how to deal with this kind of thing with a big sword... Who would hold a big sword in the cosmic era!"

"Shut up, Otto!" Margaret changed a magazine and forced the pioneer soldiers back, "You and Victor (101) go to open the Warthog, Roman, we two stop these guys first !"

After finding that they could do nothing, the Spartans boarded the two Warthogs in the base and drove away quickly, but they soon discovered that the pioneer soldiers were entangled like shadows, and they were constantly chasing and fighting through teleportation. blockage.

But the situation is getting worse and worse. On the way of the Spartans fleeing, there are a steady stream of pioneer soldiers appearing, like an undead army waking up from a coma, more mechanical soldiers and large mechas are constantly coming from the mountains. Driving up and down, fighter jets and various flying vehicles of the Forerunner Mechanical Legion appeared in the sky!

"Oh, damn it!"

Margaret watched a puff of smoke rising from the direction of the Pelican that was transporting them, and without thinking, the transport plane and its pilot must have been murdered... An unspeakable worry climbed up. Margaret's heart:

Spartans were not afraid of death, they were more worried about not being able to complete the task.

"What should I do……"

Just as the Spartan black team was in desperate crisis, a hole was suddenly torn open in the gray sky, and dozens of heavy beams descended from the sky, hitting the surface of Requiem, as if they felt As if, the pioneer mechanical soldiers who had been chasing the Spartans left quickly and ran towards a certain direction.

"..."

After a slightly harsh brake sound, Margaret sat on the Warthog and breathed a sigh of relief. She found that the communication with the battleship had been restored, and Captain Talka's bitter voice came from inside at the right time:

"Spartan black team, get ready to fight with your allies, I will send a new transport plane to pick you up."

"...Yes, the black team understands."

Chapter 633 Chapter 440 Three Good Rivals

"Ugh……"

Captain Talka watched the huge body of the Glory of Baal passing in front of his battleship silently, the darkness in the muzzle of the macro gun seemed to condense into a terrifying abyss, but the gorgeous decorations on the ship and the Sculpture neutralizes the fear of absolute violence.

"There is also an order from Admiral Hood, the commander of the UNSC Navy," Lieutenant Colonel David pushed his glasses, and said calmly, "He asked us to fight with our allies, and at the same time establish a frontline research base to ensure that the United Earth Government presence on this planet."

"Sense of presence..."

Compared with the two leaders of ONI's battleship, Rorschach and Sanguinius on the Glory of Baal seemed a little troubled. The two of them looked at the battle projection on the planet below, and a large number of pioneer mechanical soldiers were marked Coming out, they kept hitting the defense lines of the Astartes and Jurhas.

"The technology of the Forerunner far exceeds that of the Star Alliance. I need to launch mechanized legions... They seem to be able to use teleportation?" Rorschach frowned and thought. Out of the expedition fleet around the entire planet, "This is a bit troublesome. I'm afraid we need to spend some time to mobilize more warships to suppress these mechanical soldiers on the ground."

"No, don't bother," Sanguinius waved his hand. He pointed to the two members of the Holy Blood Guard standing at the door. He tapped his temple and explained:

"I saw something. Locked in the planet below is a living Forerunner, powerful and full of anger, but the long-term ban has completely destroyed his mind, making him paranoid and crazy."

"That sounds terrible," Rorschach shrugged, "so you want to take care of it yourself?"

"of course."

Sanguinius laughed, he stretched first, and then said slowly:

"I haven't been physically active for a long time, and I hope this time I can enjoy myself."

Hearing this, Luo Xia also laughed and said:

"Then, I will prepare the transport plane, only you? Or bring a few Holy Blood Guards."

"It's all okay...forget it, just bring a few."

After watching the figure of Sanguinius disappear into the bridge, Rorschach shook his head amusedly, and then opened the communication with the aircraft carrier Infinity War. A second later, the face of Commander Jurha appeared on the projection , the latter looked at Rorschach and asked:
