——AD.2157.4.18——

Fourth Aura Surface.

While seeing the beautiful scenery, Connor understood three things.

It's a zoo.

The aliens who built this place have a similar aesthetic to the earthlings.

It's the other way around.

"EDI? Where's Anderson? Connor looked left and right, but found no enemy, and the constant exchange of fire continued from the other side of the Dunkirk.

"[He's leading the crew in a firefight with the aliens who have landed, I'm not sure if contacting him at this time will distract him, this is the closest route to go.] "EDI charts a course of action in Connor's field of vision, ending in a humanoid sign of a fighting stance.

"Thanks, what's the state of the space battlefield now?" Connor removed the rifle from his back and walked briskly along the route EDI had drawn.

"[The 'Karachi' is out of communication range, and there are no space warships in the detectable range,] Ittie began to show some blurred pictures of space battles in front of Connor's eyes: "[According to the analysis of the communication records left by our fleet, Admiral Grisham believes that the enemy warships are too numerous to fight, and has led the fleet to withdraw from the gravitational circle of the 'Fourth Halo', and because the enemy fleet is slow, it seems that they plan to use the 'kite flying' tactic on the alien fleet. 】”

Do you run while fighting...... Tactics are not afraid of being old, as long as they are easy to use.

"Have they analyzed the origin of the enemy?" When Connor rounded the bow of the ship half-stuck in the dirt from Dunkirk, the fires from the exchange of fire and explosions could already be seen in front of her.

"[No, the enemy refuses to respond to all of our requests for communication, but strangely enough, there is complete silence within their fleet. EDI quickly put away some of the data and images that might be interfering with Connor's vision.

If you rule out the possibility that we can't intercept the aliens' communication channels at all, or that the aliens are actually telepathic, it's that they are trying to avoid communication for some purpose, like that......

With so little information in his possession, Connor couldn't figure out the reason for the moment, and the battlefield was already close at hand.

Previously, the Dunkirk was shot and fell into a sandy beach by the lake or sea, and some of the hull structure collapsed outward, and they and some of the boulders that existed on the sandy beach became a bunker for Anderson and his crew to fight the aliens.

The enemies that the Alliance soldiers are fighting are from three airdrop personnel carriers, which have the same style of styling and livery as the alien warships, which are narrow and silvery.

The aliens seemed to be afraid of the heavy weapons that might exist on the side of the Star Alliance soldiers, and instead of directly approaching in a personnel carrier, they used it as cover to raise their guns and shoot at the crew from a distance.

To Connor's slight reassurance, although the shape is a bit strange, these aliens use the same Mass Effect firearms and Mass Effect kinetic shields, so that at least in terms of weapons and equipment, they will not be blinded, after all, if they use something similar to tentacles to shoot lasers, Connor's military skills will have to be wasted.

For now, the strategies that can be adopted are......

[Join the battle.] (Model)】

[Sneak attack after going around.] (Rebellious)】

Request instructions. 】

"'Master Chief'? What's going on over there? How do you need me to cooperate? "Connaught contacted Anderson, after all, his own communication may have been deciphered by aliens, so it is better to be careful when speaking.

"[Commander Shepard? Anderson was going to get up and shoot, but halfway back into cover: "[You're already out?] 'Joker', pass the alien defense map to the 'Commander'! 】”

So, how did Cesara get unscathed with brittle bones?

Connor thought about it for a second before giving up because the multitool had received a pile of video information from Cicero.

Most of these images are of the terrain around the crash site and the staffing of the aliens who are fighting them.

Judging from the perspective of the video shooting, it should be the drone on the ship, and it seems that he is unable to participate in the battle because of brittle bone disease, and can only use those little guys to gather information and carry out painless harassment.

And the owner of these images ...... Connor frowned.

Dressed in bizarre sharp armor, these aliens are tall but relatively thin, with exposed limbs that resemble some kind of reptilian, their heads slightly flattened to resemble lizards with gray exoskeletons, as well as their "hands", with only four "fingers" and a pair of anti-articulation calves below the knee.

If these aliens were cold-blooded, many of the coma-inducing tricks would be of little use to them, and it was unclear how powerful their bodies were.

"[I can handle it here, you can do what you do best, 'Commander.'] At this point, Anderson gave advice, but did not go into too much detail due to concerns about the communications being spied on.

What do you do best? Connor raised an eyebrow, does he mean "sneaking in"?

After all, the current frontal battlefield is a "frontal cover battle" that even experienced officers are not willing to fight, both sides have mass effect shields, and when they are about to be overloaded due to attack, they can hide behind the cover, and they can be fully recharged in a few seconds, even if they are unlucky enough to be shot, medical glue can also save people, and this kind of unskilled combat often ends in a surprise attack or final retreat if there is no external support.

But these aliens have clearly just "landed", how can there be a headquarters...... Oh, "Commander", right.

No matter how desperate the aliens are to destroy humanity, the troops thrown out cannot all be ordinary soldiers, let them fight on their own, there must be a grassroots commander to lead them, and even if they communicate with each other silently, as a commander who wants to control the troops, there must be something special, so ......

The guy who makes some gestures from time to time and stands a little further back, is you.

"EDI, help me be on guard." Connor lowered her body and began to sneak from the side towards the lone commander at the rear of the alien line.

Since it is difficult to catch the opponent alive without knowing the specific physiology of the opponent, there is no way to kill the target.

Just approach it slowly from behind, be careful not to make any noise, and in order to avoid it struggling or giving warnings, you should use a multi-purpose tool to make a sharp blade and cut off its head......

Connor was thinking about how to kill the alien reptiles quickly and silently, when the alien commander suddenly shuddered, and then quickly made a series of tactical gestures of unknown meaning, and then led the aliens to abandon the battle and board the personnel carrier and fled.

Does this guy have some kind of "premonition of death"? It's too sharp, isn't it?
