In the building, which serves as a temporary command center, it is busy at the moment.

"There are still wounded over there, transport them all to the hall, contact the group, send a signal immediately, see if there are any soldiers outside!"

After the swarm took over the battle, Shepard and Anderson didn't need to fight on the front line, and with the wounded, civilians and soldiers continued to come here, and they immediately took on the work of organizing——— first to collect the wounded, secondly, to resettle civilians, and then to find a way to get in touch with the Star Alliance troops all over the earth, check the battle damage and issue orders.

There were a lot of civilians who were rescued, and it would have been difficult to resettle them in the past, but now, these civilians are obedient like children and obey their commands. On the one hand, today's sudden attack left these civilians completely unaware of what was going on, and they are still in a state of confusion.

On the other hand......... It's the swarms that surround them.

"I didn't expect it to go this way."

After finishing another piece of business, Anderson stretched and walked to the window to look out, it was already the middle of the night, and the light of the burning fire could be seen in the distance. But the sound of battle has not been heard for a long time. It's not because they've failed, it's that the reapers, who have taken over the city, have been completely swept away by the swarms, whether it's the tall steel reapers, or the corpses and drones they've created, they've fallen under the swarm.

"yes........."

Shepard, who had just finished leading the team to search for survivors, also took a sip of water and leaned against the wall next to him. After the little girls in the Heavenly Dao Palace rescued the first batch of survivors, Shepard selected the soldiers who could still move inside and cooperated with him to carry out the rescue operation. Then they continued to select qualified soldiers from the rescued survivors to cooperate with them, so the rescue work snowballed more and more smoothly.

Especially since the swarm swept away all the Reapers almost mercilessly, everyone did not need to be distracted by facing the enemy, but could concentrate on searching and rescuing the survivors, thus speeding up the rescue efficiency. For now, at least, their work has been quite productive.

"How's it going?"

"Awful."

Hearing Shepard's inquiry, Lieutenant General Anderson's mood of being happy that the city was about to be regained instantly dropped by an octave.

"We couldn't contact the other Star Alliance Divisions at all, and only a few troops responded, but......... Their situation is clearly not good. ”

This is also a matter of course, after all, not everyone will be so lucky to be rescued by the swarm.

But then again.........

"We really made a wise decision."

Looking at the dark red heavy fungus blanket on the ground, standing not far from the top of the building, densely packed with flying dragons, Anderson also gasped. As a soldier and a general, he naturally carefully observed these mysterious beings from the Heavenly Dao Palace, and Anderson also observed the overall structure of the Heavenly Dao Palace from their actions.

Obviously, these terrifying-looking insect swarms are the real main forces of the Heavenly Dao Palace, and those little girls with strange and mysterious powers are more like the elite troops or guards of the Heavenly Dao Palace. Not only that, but according to Shepard's report, the other side also has a powerful fleet that far surpasses all current civilizations.

Anderson thought silently in his heart for a moment, and then he reluctantly discovered that even if those little girls with mysterious powers did not appear on the battlefield, the insect swarm alone could sweep the entire Star Alliance. If these little girls with mysterious powers and the battleship with powerful mysterious powers also appear, then they will ......... There's no way to survive.

This force is simply more terrible than the Reaper!

Anderson knew that many of the people here now were first discovered by the swarm and then rescued by them. It's not surprising that these strange-looking insects don't speak, don't seem to communicate with humans, and combined with their appearance, many people almost have a nervous breakdown when they first see them.

Fortunately, the bugs did obey the order, and even if someone shot them in fear, the bugs had no intention of fighting back.

Of course, more importantly, ordinary firearms simply cannot penetrate their carapaces.........

Recalling the soldiers' reports, Anderson couldn't help but hold his forehead, to be honest, now in his opinion, this force called Heavenly Dao Palace was much more terrifying than the Reaper. If nothing else, it can be seen from the number of survivors they have gathered now. The Reaper's style of play is to first paralyze the central core of the Star Alliance, and then send the ground troops and those corpse golems to slowly sweep the harvest.

That's why there are so many survivors.

But the swarm .........

This carpet invasion is even more terrifying than locusts if there is no limit to their numbers, and if they attack humans, then when they sweep through the city, Anderson can be sure that there will be no living creatures left in the city except them!

This may be the confidence of the Heavenly Dao Palace to dare to argue with the Divine Castle, to be honest, if there is no Reaper, I am afraid that the Divine Castle will definitely regard the Heavenly Dao Palace as the most dangerous force in the galaxy, and even the geth will be ranked behind them.

But fortunately, the other party is now his ally......... Well, it's not quite accurate to say allies, after all, they are paid.

Speaking of which.........

"Shepard, how's your situation going over there?"

"Pretty bad."

Shepard shook his head.

"Almost all the docked battleships were destroyed by the Reaper in the first place, and we couldn't even find a complete ship shelf......... What about you? Is there any contact with the defense fleet? ”

"Don't mention it, those cowards........."

Fortunately, Anderson was angry, and it took a lot of effort for him to contact the defense fleet, hoping that they would be able to support. But those bastards refused to come, saying that the earth had been completely occupied by the Reapers, and that their fleet was no match for each other at all, and then directly cut off contact with Anderson for fear that the Reapers' would track them.

Nearly didn't Lieutenant General Anderson to death.

Well, he also admitted the truth of what the other party said, after all, at the moment, only two or three kittens were left in the defense fleet, and it was difficult to protect themselves.........

Having said that, this is also the star-link's own stupidity, originally Shepard immediately sent a warning message to the star-link after he noticed that the reaper was about to arrive, and the group of fools of the star-link actually had to wait for Shepard to come back to report the details, just gave the fleet an order to stand by and raise the alert level?

It's good now, it's been served by someone!

But there's no point in slandering the stomach now, those idiots have been killed by the Reaper, and Anderson must think about the problem at hand.

Now the city where the headquarters are located has almost been reclaimed, but that's not the most important thing, they have to get support from other races. The Reaper is menacing, it is absolutely impossible to win by relying on the Star Federation and humans alone, and the forces of other races must be united!

Thinking of this, Anderson clenched his fists, then looked out the window again, just in time to see a wyvern looking down and staring at him curiously.

……… Well, maybe there is a certain force.

But in any case, they would have to leave the planet, which is obviously impossible without warships.

Anderson glanced at his multipurpose again, then at Shepard.

"Commander Shepard."

"Yes, what's the instructions?"

"I remember you said that the organization called the Heavenly Dao Palace has a very powerful fleet."

"Yes, but ......... Anderson? ”

Shepard wasn't stupid either, she knew what Anderson meant when she heard him ask.

"Do you really want to .........?"

"Or else? We can't fly! ”

Anderson rolled his eyes helplessly.

"This is a galactic crisis, and we need to join forces with the Citadel, the Turkians, the Asari, and all races against the Reaper! We need battleships, we need fleets! ”

“…………………”

Shepard was silent for a moment when she heard Anderson speak, then she looked at Anderson again and cautiously asked a question.

“……… Do you have any money? ”

"I'll give, can't I give?!"

Hearing this question, Anderson was depressed, the fifty kilograms of element zero he had promised to the Heavenly Dao Palace had been transported back by Tilia through the wormhole. However, the other party also did what he said, saying that he would help him recover the city, but he really only helped himself recover the city.........

Originally, Anderson wanted to get close to Tilia Lara, for example, to see a discount for everyone's sake............ But on second thought.........

Fighting side by side, the battle is basically covered by the swarm, they just stay behind and shout six, six, six, okay!

Of course, from the point of view of mercenaries, the Heavenly Dao Palace has done a great job, but from the point of view of feelings......... Hey, I can only say that this emotional card can't be played.

Thinking of this, Anderson also sighed depressedly, then turned around and walked up the steps to the balcony on the second floor as a temporary command post, where Tilia was sitting on a chair, enjoying the night view outside while leisurely tasting black tea. Seeing Anderson's arrival, Tilia smiled slightly.

"Lieutenant General Anderson, is there anything going on?"

"That's right, Miss Tilia."

After witnessing the strength of the Heavenly Dao Palace, Anderson also gave up his intention to bargain and spoke directly.

"We hope that the Heavenly Dao Palace will be able to send a fleet to assist us......... This is a war that threatens all civilizations in the galaxy, we need more reinforcements to unite all races, but right now we lack enough ships to fight the Reapers........."

"Fleet, ........."

Hearing Anderson's words, Tilia thought for a moment, then she put down the teacup in her hand and smiled.

"That's going to require an additional markup."
