All of this happened on the shadow side of the Earth shocked the Covenant's pursuing forces, so much so that the Covenant fleet, which was originally chasing humanity, all stopped in place and didn't know what to do.

And the prophets and councillors in the city of fraternity also quarreled.

"Silence, silence for me, that is certainly not the remains of the ancestors. That's a human trick!"

"Your Excellency, Prophet, how do you prove it!"

"If it can't be proven, why don't we take it out of the hands of humans and study it first?"

"You guys, bastards, if I said this is not an ancestral relic it must not be!"

Refuted by a large number of parliamentarians, the angry truth prophet blushed and had a thick neck!

Unfortunately, no matter how hard the Prophet of Truth shouted, his small voice could not cover the dissenting voices of many members of the Parliament.

This alien race, brainwashed by religion for tens of thousands of years, has long regarded anything unthinkable as the legacy of their ancestors. Therefore, many councillors believe that this is probably an ancestral legacy, and they need to send troops to take it back first.

Of course, in order to ensure that the ancestral heritage is not damaged, the fleet needs to launch a landing war, instead of using long-range naval guns to blast the human fleet and the small ring belt that is suspected to be the ancestral heritage.

The two prophets certainly disagreed with this approach. After all, the oracle's order is very clear, to give priority to opening the pilgrimage path to the origin of the sacred fire, and then to ignite all the sacred rings, so that all races can ascend to a higher realm.

But now, when the members of the council saw the appearance of the relics of the suspected ancestors, they immediately changed their minds and wanted to reclaim the relics first, which made the prophets extremely angry.

"Damn, most of these councillors are elite, and they're getting more and more disobedient. We need new strength!" said the Prophet of Truth, grimacing.

"That's right, let's make the Ghost-Faced Beasts our guardians. The Prophet of Sorrow agreed.

However, he soon raised other objections, "Then why not let the humans continue to complete the unknown artificial ring, what if that really powerful ancestral relic makes our plans go awry!"

"This!" Hearing the words of the Prophet of Sorrow, the Prophet of Truth was also speechless.

Just as the two prophets were torn between them, a black shadow appeared behind them.

"What are you doing? Why don't you attack!"

The man in black immediately became a little angry when he saw that the Star Covenant troops were stagnant.

"Ah! We've got some minor trouble, and there seems to be something mysterious on the human side!" the two prophets immediately reported in a state of panic when they saw the oracle descend.

After listening to the reports of the two prophets, the man in black couldn't help frowning.

He instinctively felt that this was Yun Qi's ghost.

But this time, he has plenty of hole cards, even if Yun Qi is powerful this time, he will inevitably be defeated by him!

Thinking of this, the man in black said: "Ignore those humans, hurry up and open the gate, in addition, the sacrifice speed must be accelerated, and when my abyssal army descends, no one will be able to stop us!"

"Yes, Your Excellency, Great Divine Envoy!"

With the words of the divine envoy, the two prophets were like reassuring pills, and they no longer had any doubts, and immediately began to deploy.

The stupid elite councillors who want to reclaim the ancestral relics, the prophet has sent them to fight the human race. They ordered the Ghost-Faced Beast's forces to begin a full-scale slaughter of the major human cities.

At the same time, the engineers of the City of Fraternity immediately carried out the commissioning of the dreadnought under the orders of the prophet, and prepared for the launch of the dreadnought. After all, this is an antique that has been placed for 100,000 years, and no matter how confident the prophets are in the ancestral legacy, they still have to adjust it before launching into space. Otherwise, if something happens and the flight breaks down halfway, it won't be embarrassing!

Receiving orders from the Prophet, the Covenant pursuit fleet, which had been staying in the distance, immediately began to attack the only remaining UNSC fleet.

Only this time, instead of using superior fleet firepower to destroy the human warship, the opponent released a large number of Enchantress's transports and Angel's interceptors.

Seeing that the other side did not use the main guns of the battleship to carry out long-distance attacks, but instead released carrier-based aircraft for battle, General Hood was surprised in his heart.

Obviously, the opponent has an absolute advantage in strength, but instead of using naval guns to attack him, he wants to fight a boarding battle, and he doesn't understand what these alien beasts are thinking in their heads. But this is a good thing for the human side, and all General Hood needs to do now is drag out time. As for why these Star Alliance's brains suddenly cramped, he was not so kind to remind the other party.

Soon, the tragic boarding battle began.

The Covenant sent a large number of boarding troops, while the human side used the warship as a fortress and began an arduous tug-of-war with the Covenant forces.

And the master chief became the captain of the fire brigade.

The battleship was about to be overwhelmed, so he drove the fighter plane across it, knocked out the enemy Enchantress without counting, and then smashed into the battleship and pushed a wave of Covenant troops.

And the elite of the Star Covenant saw that the green demon they feared the most was actually here, and they were even more convinced that there must be some great secret here, so the attack became even more fierce.

Even those elite councillors heard that the Master Chief was here, and hurriedly dispatched nearly a thousand warships to drain the water around this last engineering harbor of mankind.

Wave after wave of high-intensity attacks continued.

In the end, even the mobile phone of the master chief who pulled the trigger was numb.

He didn't know how many Elites, Hunters, and Grunts he had killed.

At this time, he was already covered in blue blood, and the surface of the Thor Power Armor was pitted, and even the mask had a few big cracks.

"Cortana, how long is it until the estimated completion time!"

For the first time, Master Chief began to feel tired.

"John, there's less than an hour left, but you have to rest. I have detected that your health fluctuations are extremely unstable, and now that you have been fighting for nine hours straight, your power armor has lost seventy percent of its function, and it can no longer support you in the fight!"

Cortana's virtual image appeared in front of the Master Chief, and she shouted anxiously.

She had reminded the Master Chief countless times that he had to retreat to the rear to rest immediately. No matter how powerful he is, he's still a human being. He would also be tired, hungry, thirsty, worried, and would not want Master Chief to die here, for her, Master Chief was all she had. If Master Chief had to die to save the world, she'd rather give up the damn mission.

Seeing Cortana's worried expression, Master Chief said in a deep voice, "Cortana, I'm just a warrior, I don't know anything but fighting. I was born to fight on the battlefield, and I will eventually die on the battlefield. Such is the fate of a warrior. And now, this almost endless battle is finally coming to an end. Whatever the outcome, my fate as a warrior is coming to an end!"

Hearing the Master Chief's almost message-like words, Cortana suddenly exploded!

"John, you bastard, haven't you ever thought about life after the war?

"Me!"

"Survive, must survive, survive no matter what. Promise me, John, just like you used to, this is my last assignment for you, and you must survive!"

Seeing Cortana's excited expression, Master Chief couldn't help but be stunned. In front of everyone, he is a super-soldier who is not good at words, a hero who saves humanity, and a feared Covenant killer.

But only he knows that he is also human. He can get hurt and he can get frustrated. And the only one who will always be with him is this artificial intelligence Cortana. For Master Chief, Cortana is his only friend and the person he trusts the most.

A lot of times, feelings are just so unreasonable. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Master Chief is an eccentric person. He is a hero on the battlefield, but in everyday life, he does talk to an artificial intelligence.

It seems that for Master Chief, a virtual artificial intelligence is more real than a human.

"Okay, Cortana, I promise you!"

Hearing Master Chief's promise, Cortana finally burst into tears and said, "John, remember your promise to girls! ”

"I believe that Your Excellency Yun Qi will succeed, and when that time comes, I will surprise you. John！”
