Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

boom! ! !

A volley of electromagnetic main guns successfully smashed the emerald green energy shield, causing the projectiles to penetrate the armor and shoot into the mothership, rampaging and wreaking havoc.

After being blocked and offset by layers of areas, the 20-ton and 30-ton tungsten-iron projectiles completed their respective missions one after another. In the end, they either landed in a corner, or smashed to death some reapers with a little back, and completely There was no movement, waiting for the recovery of the follow-up troops.

but…

Boom - Boom - Boom! ! !

Using 4,000 meters to accelerate to 55% of the speed of light, the 60-ton tungsten-iron projectile from the Wrathful Prayer has no intention of stopping. It not only penetrates the armor, but also penetrates the mothership with a diameter of 4,800 kilometers. .

The moment the bullet rushed out of the mothership, it disappeared into the pitch-black universe, and even the Astartes, who were as strong as gods, couldn't capture exactly where the bullet went.

But one thing, all the Blood Ravens including the Astartes, and the UNSC understand that this projectile will destroy all asteroids, dwarf planets in its path before it is affected by a massive gaseous planet, star or black hole , unless it encounters an terrestrial planet and collides with it, it will end its wandering career in the universe.

The Blood Raven and the UNSC completed the salvo of the main guns, and then the mothership was severely damaged by the "small" projectile, and was forced to lose power and perform emergency braking. The whole process only lasted a few seconds.

Immediately afterwards, the Reaper mothership that was forced to "downtime" began to repair, and at the same time, hundreds of millions, or even billions, of elliptical and dish-shaped carrier-based aircraft were released, like a large-scale bee swarm , forming a huge net, and rushed towards the Prayer of Wrath and the three UNSC battleships.

Not only that, but the Reaper mothership released more than a hundred City Burner destroyers with a diameter of 20 kilometers, which were also huge disc-shaped destroyers. Cooperating with the carrier-based aircraft that left the mothership in advance, they were ready to destroy and annihilate "" I don't know what is good or bad" on the side of the blood crow.

Inside the bridge at this time.

"Captain, the enemy has sent..."

"No need to report, waste of time, I can see it."

Just as a crew member wanted to report the current situation to Miranda Macha, the latter, who had been staring at the holographic screen on the right hand side, stopped with a very simple response.

Afterwards, Miranda raised her head and observed the "overwhelming" Harvester carrier-based aircraft and destroyers through the porthole of the bridge.

It should have been faced with an extremely serious and serious attitude, but Miranda showed a look of "ecstatic" and "eager to try"...

Mainly "professional counterparts".

After all, she and her crew were successfully transferred from the UNSC to the Thutmose Legion by virtue of winning more with less. When they faced the Covenant Empire 3-1, Miranda and the others might have the determination to see death as home.

Now?

Not anymore.

"It's finally here! Haha!! I've been waiting for a long time!" She couldn't wait to speak, and gave orders very quickly:

"Inform the three captains to cooperate with this ship in the simplest triangular formation, directly confront the enemy head-on, regardless of the enemy's firepower, and focus on creating a safe and secure opportunity for our troops to join forces! Let them Grab the enemy's mothership! Just in time, our battalion headquarters can also set up a home world to play with! Haha!"

"Yes! Captain!"

Following Miranda's words, the atmosphere of the entire bridge suddenly became "active". The Prayer of Wrath was operated to accelerate forward, and the Gauss and pulse close-in gun systems were activated, and the large-caliber plasma secondary guns and the matrix capable of serial attacks were activated. Beam, violently bombarded the Reapers.

At this time, Gabriel, who was "playing soy sauce" the whole time, saw that Miranda and the entire crew were very excited, he also smiled, turned and left the center console, and walked towards the outside of the bridge. Miranda, seated in the captain's seat, said:

"Then the naval battle will be left to you."

"That's for sure, otherwise our crew members are living for free? Just don't overturn the car." Miranda waved her hand and joked.

"Hahaha!" Hearing this, Gabriel also smiled generously: "We overturned? My hands are itchy, and I can't help but want to play in person. In fact, the auxiliary army alone can deal with them. That's fine. Create a green channel for us, and let's talk after the war!"

After speaking, Gabriel left the bridge completely.

"You all heard what the battalion commander said! Give me a blast! Don't be stingy with live ammunition and energy!"

"yes!!"

now.

outside the ship.

Looking down from the "above" of the space domain, you can clearly see the blood crow side, with the Prayer of Wrath as the center, and there are one and two battleships on both sides. Times more than the Reaper side.

Phew~! Phew~!

boom! ! boom! !

The energy bombs from both sides pierced through the universe.

Hum~! hum!

Both sides also have energy shields emitting golden and emerald green light.

However, the Blood Raven side has Gaussian magnetic nail bombs with a straight trajectory, and a near-anti-cannon barrage composed of extremely "spectacular" caseless pulse bombs, which "crushed" the carrier-based aircraft on the Reaper side.

Looking at the city burners who are 20 kilometers away, they can't resist the main universe's plasma artillery regiment that absorbs the administrator's civilization, and its power and output have been greatly improved...

Moreover, these artillery regiments are generally secondary guns exceeding 2000mm.

Ri~咻~——!

After the electromagnetic main guns were fully charged and another salvo was fired, the formation formed by the City Burner destroyers was bombarded to pieces by tungsten-iron projectiles of various tons.

There was a "City Burner" ship that was more "miserable". It collided head-on with the 60-ton projectile of the Prayer of Wrath, and was "split in two" directly from the central part. Its body was thin and sticky, and it looked like a gray man. Reapers like those were thrown into the low-temperature, vacuum universe, turning into "popsicles" one by one in an instant.

Of course, during the exchange of fire, not only the Reapers suffered severe blows, but the Blood Raven suffered more intensive and intense barrages and bombardments. It was the side where the "heavy waves" and "vortex storms" were most concentrated. .

However, the emerald green plasma cannon of the Reaper was helpless against the energy barrier of the golden light.

In fact, among the reasons why the Reapers' plasma cannons were unable to penetrate the barrier on the Blood Raven's side, the first point is that nearly 50% of the human ships have completed the "update" and installed barrier generation devices integrated into the administrator's civilization.

Moreover, as Thutmose who is best at using psychic power, Blood Raven installed many "gadgets" to facilitate the release and expansion of psychic power on their Prayer of Wrath.

That is to say, if the Reapers want to sink the Blood Ravens, they must first destroy the psychic stances released by the Blood Ravens, then smash the golden barrier, and finally get the α-grade titanium alloy armor.

It's a pity that although the Reapers have good telepathy and can interfere with and even control humans in Universe 04, they can't even reach the level of babies in terms of fighting against psychic power.

To be honest, in the eyes of Miranda, Gabriel and others, the sense of oppression and threat of the Reaper civilization seems to be far inferior to that of the Covenant Empire.

The Reaper only has the characteristics of a large battleship and a large mothership.

Next, the Prayer of Wrath and the three battleships arrived at the front of the mothership that was still "down" as if they had entered an uninhabited territory.

Afterwards, the three battleships immediately "suddenly braked" and used matrix beams to quickly eliminate the "flies (carrier-based aircraft)" around them. The cover also "suddenly braked" and aimed at the belly of the hull to explode the 60-ton projectile. Out of the gap, implement the mandatory airdrop "service" of the Prayer of Wrath number.

Soon, the 1st Company of the Blood Ravens, who had not participated in the 04 Earth landing battle, "stayed" on the flagship, and the 2nd and 3rd Assault Regiments of the Auxiliary Army. Enter the interior of the mothership and prepare for a big fight.

As for the Prayer of Wrath, which had completed the airdrop, it was not in a hurry to evacuate, and it was too lazy to play guerrilla attacks. Instead, it went head-to-head with the City Burner destroyer and carrier-based aircraft at close range.

The aerial bombs of the anti-aircraft guns are empty?

Then use the matrix beam!

The energy and energy provided by the shipboard engines and reactors are close to infinity, so there is no need to worry about running out and being dragged by the neck and scolded by the logistics staff.

Just as Miranda said, they do not rely on tactics, but rely solely on equipment to dominate "naval battles."

…

at the same time.

The space is extremely wide and spacious, with a complete independent ecological environment, and the interior of the mothership that is similar to the composition of the earth's atmosphere...

"Swoosh~! Whoosh~!"

Countless airdrop pods are flying across the "surface" "over the sky".

The "surface" is a deck with strange buildings, jungles and lakes in terms of human aesthetics.

Coming to the interior of the mothership, the airdrop pods use the top, tail and surrounding jets to adjust the speed and angle, expand the area as much as possible, and scatter and fall on the mothership deck which is quite "surface".

However, there are three individual airdrop pods that are enlarged and spray flames from the top, leaving the large troops far behind.

"Shhhhh~!!"

At this time, a large number of anti-aircraft turrets fired dense emerald green artillery barrages, trying to knock down the three airdrop pods in one fell swoop.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

However, the looming energy shield offset the artillery barrage.

After all, the Umbrella Legion in the main universe even has energy shields for the airdrop pods. However, even so, the three individual airdrop pods still chose to descend the height, spread the distance, and land on a place on the surface deck. A town complex where the Reapers live.

"Boom~...Boom! Boom!"

One of the individual airdrop pods smashed through a high-rise building. After slowing down, it smashed into the middle area of ​​another building, and then stopped.

"呵...嗞..."

The interior of the building, which was already dim like a bug's nest, became more "ghostly" because of the flickering lights.

"Click~!" With a sound, the door of the airdrop pod was manually popped open.

"Boom, boom." Immediately afterwards, the sound of magnetic boots stepping on the floor echoed to this area...

Especially after seeing that the person who came out of the airdrop pod was an auxiliary army equipped with Helendin II, painted with blood crows, and chose the helmet style of hell paratroopers according to personal preference, for some reason, I always felt that it was permeating this area. The feeling of "ghostly" dissipated immediately.

On the nameplate of the left breastplate of this auxiliary army, his employee number, name, and his unique nickname or alias, "Rookie" are engraved.

He first held the large-caliber laser rifle in his hand, glanced around, and made sure that there was no threat nearby, then lowered the gun slightly, and chose to move forward on the right side where he thought he would have good luck, ready to actively look for the reaper here to clear.

In fact, this auxiliary, nicknamed "Rookie", was a Hell paratrooper of the Blood Raven Battalion before undergoing the transformation operation on Minos Island.

Because he loves the identity of a paratrooper, even if he puts on the more advanced Helendin II, the rookie still uses the helmet that looks like a paratrooper from hell.

As for the establishment of Hell Paratroopers, although there are some reservations, as time goes by, it will be a matter of time before they are "dismissed" or "decentralized" to the UNSC.

Moreover, UNSC's Airborne Division is no less "crazy" than Hell Paratroopers in terms of combat style, so it is the best choice to inherit the name.

at this time.

The rookie walks along the spiral shape, and turns on the "silent" mode of the magnetic boots, and continues to run fast down with the minimum noise.

Sudden!

The rookie's helmet screen seemed to detect something, or some kind of feedback from the pulse scan, so he couldn't help but turn his gaze to the wall on the right hand side.

Almost instantly, the rookie had already completed the calculation and deployment in his mind, and then he turned his feet and slammed into the wall on the right hand side with brute force.

"Boom!!"

The seemingly thick and solid wall was pierced by the rookie with brute force.

And he, along with the momentum, came to the half of the hollowed out part inside the building, and was dragged downward by the gravity of the mothership, like a free fall, smashing towards the bottom layer tens of meters below.

However, the rookie in mid-air has re-clamped his hands, and put the muzzle of the laser rifle downward, which is gathering, getting ready, and ambushing the Reaper combat troops at the exit of the spiral-shaped passage.

aim.

shooting.

"Tat-tat-tat!!"

In an instant, a high-energy light beam with the thickness of a child's wrist shot out from the chest, like a "beam rain", splashing on the harvesters gathered at the exit.

"Pfft! Stab!"

The milky white biological exoskeleton, which looks like a living body, is easily melted and penetrated the moment it comes into contact with the high-energy light beam, directly causing extremely painful and fatal injuries to the weak body inside the exoskeleton.

"Hey~!"

While the high-energy beam killed the Reapers, it also produced a burnt smell.

The height of tens of meters is fleeting.

The rookie picked one of the reapers as a mat and stepped on it...

"Bang!!", directly stomped on it.

At this time, the harvesters realized that the uninvited guest they were guarding against and ambushing had "detoured" to the center of them.

"Howl!!" They howled in anger at the beginning, as if they wanted to avenge their dead in battle.

"how...how..."

But then, they wailed for survival because of the biological instinct inspired by fear, begging the rookie to spare their lives.

I saw a 2.4-meter-tall rookie shooting with a single-handed gun in his right hand, freeing up his left hand to punch, pinch, and blade the aliens beside him.
