Whoosh!

Da Da Da ......

'Commander! We are surrounded by enemies, ask for reinforcements! ’

'I ask for support!' ’

'......'

'No support, hold your defensive turrets!' ’

‘……’

'Hell! Shepard and I are still surrounded by enemies, and you guys defending military facilities still have the face to support? ’

Da Da!!

“aaagh！！”

Whoosh whoosh ......

Rumble!!

"Uhh......h

The battle in the Horizon colony is in full swing, with the sound of guns and pulsed particle beams fighting back and forth, the battlefield is filled with the roars and indefatigable howls of the Collector monsters, and the battle channel on the Normandy 2 side is also bustling, and many of the technical teams holding the planet's defense turrets are also calling for help, interspersed with the screams of some hapless Marine being shot and Miranda's angry shouting.

The battle continues to this day, and the competition is which side has more stamina! If the Normandy side had taken control of the turret first, they would have won! On the other hand, if the Collectors break through their respective defenses first, then their battle will be declared a failure!

At this moment, whether it is those collectors who open shields, or those pioneer elites who have been remotely controlled by a certain collector leader using mental abilities to be repeatedly killed by Little Annie, they still can't change the current situation on the battlefield, and the collector's side has always occupied the absolute initiative on the battlefield.

Countless Collector soldiers, relying on their skillful movements and formations, used cover to outflank and besiege Shepard and Miranda, Little Anne and Garas, and other marines stationed in the defense turrets of each planet!

Even if they didn't achieve too many results, and the momentum of the offensive has been suppressed, but with an absolute numerical advantage, their offensive strength has not weakened, forcing Shepard and others to be tired of coping, and there are gradually signs of being unable to resist......

What's worse is that there are now more Collector monsters of all kinds pouring out from the Collector ship parked in the distance...... In this case, the number of enemies, which was already more than four figures, skyrocketed by at least doubled again! Therefore, they made the pressure on the colony cabin that Shepard and Miranda defended by a hideous gap increase in vain, and the other groups of ground teams couldn't help but cry out for help!

So, that's where the chaos in the battle channel just now comes from.

However, it may take a little time for the new forces of collectors in the distance to arrive, and before, after the collector sliced the colony pod of Shepard and the others with a heavy particle beam, they were a little glad that their defense was much easier?

It turns out that they can now stick out the muzzles of their weapons from the slits that have been cut, minimizing the load on their Mass Effect shields! Because it is difficult for the enemy to accurately hit them from the small cut gap in the chaotic battlefield, so that they can even stand calmly at the crack and keep shooting at each other, but only a few pulses or assault rifle bullets can get away with hitting their shields.

Dadada!!

After using the automatic pistol in his hand to knock down two red corpse puppet monsters with teeth and claws and trying to rush up to play self-detonation, Miranda finally had time to praise a little guy in the channel after changing the magazine and taking out the M-6a 'executioner' from his back that he had never had a chance to use with a hot reload and putting it aside for later use:

"It's awesome!"

"Little Annie, what the hell did you do just now? Killed three powerful monsters and the guy who could open the ability shield in one fell swoop! ”

Those monsters just now, no matter what kind of lightning is surrounded by lightning, or the kind of annoying guy who can open a shield, if it is a one-on-one situation, whether it is her Miranda or Shepard, they will not necessarily be afraid of each other, they are sure to defeat each other! Because, in addition to being a skilled elite warrior/agent, they are also powerful Adepts!

So, they didn't really care too much about the collector monsters that just appeared! They're probably more afraid of the disgusting people they've called 'Banshees' and can cast Ability Blasts and teleport over short distances.

However, in this kind of battlefield, those collectors obviously won't give them any chance to fight one-on-one...... There are hundreds or even thousands of soldiers around them alone, and they can calmly take advantage of their numerical advantage to beat them in groups! Therefore, in this chaotic and dangerous battlefield, once they encounter those powerful collectors just now, it will make them feel very uncomfortable!

Their automatic high velocity weapons often require several shots at the enemy's Mass Effect shield or ability barrier, and after breaking the shield, they need to attack several shots to deal effective lethal damage to the body of those Collector monsters. Because, the other party is not a normal creature, if it does not cause lethal or enough damage to the enemy's vital point or body, those collector monsters will not fall, and will still launch the most ruthless attack on them!

After all, they are not snipers like Garras or some little guy, they can hide far away, safely and comfortably aim and shoot at the enemy's vital parts, they can only attack any part of the enemy that they can attack in the chaos of the battlefield.

So Miranda thinks that if she can learn the skills of that little guy, her own comprehensive combat power will definitely be able to rise to a big level, right?

'It's easy! ’

'Because, they've just used so much magic that they can ignore their shields, and they're sure they're going to be killed with one shot!' ’

No sooner had Miranda asked, than she heard the crisp but hateful childlike voice of a little guy teasing her on the Battle Channel...... At the same time, she could see in the distance the slashed slit that a Collector soldier was trying to rush towards her place, and that the hideous red or blue corpse golem had been killed by a precise name from someone.

Obviously, that must have been the good thing that little Anne did!

In the short time that the battle continued, both Miranda and Shepard could already see that those who often needed two to three shots to deal with an enemy, and the attack was not a vital part, and it didn't take much guessing to know that it would be the handiwork of Garas, and the opponent was using the powerful X-92D 'Mantis' sniper rifle with a slow rate of fire.

And those that are accurate, often fatal with one shot, fast and ruthless, either piercing the head of the collector monster, or directly breaking the neck, must have been shot by the talented little guy!

"Okay......"

"Then please be a little magician, continue to use your awesome 'magic' to help more!"

Obviously, Miranda and Shepard, who heard each other's nonsense, or the other Marines who heard Little Annie's cute and deadly child's voice, must not believe the little guy's words!

So, after Miranda was stunned for a moment, she happily laughed and scolded a certain whimsical little guy in the channel.

In Miranda's opinion, at most, it is some kind of extraordinary talent of the little one, or a keen instinct for shooting!

It's something mysterious and mysterious, and it's hard to explain it scientifically...... Just like Cerberus who wants to resurrect Shepard at great expense?

What they Cerberus valued, in addition to Shepard's prestige, ability, and familiarity with the Reaper, was nothing more than a certain trait in Shepard, and he also believed that the other party could lead humanity to smash the Reaper's conspiracy with that magical but inexplicable 'thing', so that humanity could continue to exist in the galaxy, instead of being harvested and slaughtered by those nightmarish 'Reapers'.

Of course, what Cerberus wants to save is only the humans of Earth, and as for other alien races, it has nothing to do with them! Even, they Cerberus still want the reapersto harvest all those aliens?

'He's not a little magician!' ’

'I'm telling you secretly, they're very powerful arcane archmages!' As long as I want, no number of collectors will be enough for me to fight! ’

The tsundere voice of a certain little guy rang out in the battle channel again.

"Haha! Ok, good, good! ”

"Respect Your Excellency Archmage Anne, please be sure to help and quickly wipe out those collector monsters outside?"

What a mess of 'magicians'...... Anyway, Miranda definitely wouldn't stupidly choose to believe it!

She prefers to believe that the little guy has some kind of ability that can then be used on the other person's magical talent for marksmanship? For example, people like her and Shepard, as well as other infiltrators and vanguards, can all use the abilities that have been mutated by Element Zero to do amazing things that others can't do.

'Kill them all at once?' That's not going to work! ’

'Where can it be so fast?' The barrel of my gun is already a little red, and the thermal magazine you were talking about doesn't work at all! ’

The little girl complained in a somewhat angry tone on the Battle Channel!

Obviously, the little guy felt that that kind of weapon that was not useful had seriously limited her combat ability? The fact that she had to change the heat energy magazine without many shots made her feel very unhappy?

"Who told you to bring two more guns before?"

"Look at me, I've got two automatic pistols and a hand-held cannon! Shepard is even more amazing, that freak has five weapons, including: heavy rifles, shotguns, anti-materiel rifles, hand-held artillery, and individual missile launchers! ”

"All those different kinds of weapons, she brought them all!"

Hearing the little girl's complaints, Milan retorted with tears and laughter.

When he was on the Normandy II, Miranda persuaded the little guy to bring an extra automatic pistol or rifle for self-defense, or to replace the weapon in time when it overheated, just like the turian sniper Guerras, who also brought an extra heavy rifle to spare!

In fact, the weapon they are using now that can replace the thermal magazine to assist in heat dissipation is already very good! A few years ago, when the Citadel races did not come into contact with and encountered those geths, the weapons of the Star Federation or other races in the galaxy would overheat after a certain level of continuous attack, and had to temporarily cease fire and wait for cooldown...... In that case, even those weapons that use electromagnetic rails and the warhead rarely touches the barrel, it will not solve the big problem of friction overheating during combat in the atmosphere! After all, the heat generated by a Mass Effect-accelerated warhead rubbing against the air is also terrifying!

Later, when the geth began to frequent and were almost successful in raiding the Citadel led by Salen, the geth weapon's efficient heat dissipation magazine, the kind of invention that proved to be 'very effective', was finally gradually absorbed by the various races of the galaxy and integrated into their own standard weapon systems.

'Let me bring two more guns...... That kind of thing......

'Anyway, they're too heavy for I don't want to carry!!' ’

Little Annie's lazy and mischievous elongated words rang out from the battle channel again.

Actually, it's not that she can't bring more weapons, and at this time, her space bag is still stacked with inventory from at least half of the Führer's Guards arsenal of the Hero Federation! But whether it was a space pocket or something else, she didn't want them to know about it for the time being, at least not yet!

So, if you want to carry it on your body at all times, a sniper weapon is enough, if there are too many, she is petite, and carrying it will definitely get in the way.

"That's it!"

"Miranda and Annie, don't talk yet, a new enemy is coming up again!"

In the distance, the countless Collector soldiers who had been recoiled by their fierce counterattack before howled again when they received more reinforcement from their forces.

“！！”

Shepard, who was just about to say something to boost his morale, suddenly seemed to sense something, suddenly shifted his gaze, and looked in a certain direction in the distance in shock:

'Shhh Roar~!! ’

Without waiting for the regrouped enemies to open fire, or for Shepard and Miranda to wait, they suddenly heard the roar of some kind of monster faintly in the direction of the towering cylindrical Collector battleship in the distance...... Then, with the auxiliary eyepieces on their respective eyes, both Shepard and Miranda could easily see the strange monster in the distant sky that looked almost the same as the collector, but was indeed like an octopus or spider underneath, and could fly?

"Hell yes!"

"What the hell is that disgusting thing?!"

After being stunned for a moment, from his eyepiece, Shepard stared at the strange thing again, and then couldn't help but exclaim!

Because she knows that guy is definitely not a small character!

The essence of the ability fluctuations emanating from that monster made her, who was also an ability, feel it clearly from such a distance!

That guy...... Except for the head that looks almost the same as a normal collector, the rest of the body resembles a grotesque spider that is half machine, half creature! And, what's even worse is that the weird pouch or mouth in the other party's abdomen actually hides human heads?

It's like ...... Plucked it from the top of the golem and installed it under its belly? Is it for this that they capture humans, to create those powerful monsters?!

"New Monster ......"

"Shepard, whatever it is, I guess we'd better not let it get too close?"

Of course, Miranda also saw the monster in the distance that was gradually approaching them, so she quickly leaned over and took the M-6a 'executioner' with the cannon she had put aside and put it beside her.

Later, she may have to rely on her heavy weapon to fight against the monsters that can fly with their abilities alone and fluctuate incredibly powerful!

"Prepare for battle!"

"Miranda, I don't want that thing to get too close, but what can we do now but stay here?!"

Hearing that Miranda said it easily, Shepard retorted very unceremoniously.

After all, now, although the collector monsters and soldiers outside them have been beaten by their attacks and the sniping of that little Annie in the distance, the number of enemies is there, which can be clearly seen from the dense red dots around the area seen on the battle map of their universal tool, it is absolutely impossible to fake!

That's the accurate data scanned in real time by Normandy 2, which stays above the planet's orbit, and there will be absolutely no mistake, if not more?

If they dared to rush out now, they would surely be beaten into a sieve by those Collector soldiers on the spot! When the time comes, no one will be able to save them! Therefore, whether they wanted to stop the monster in the distance from approaching, or they wanted to retreat away from each other, they had no choice but to stay here!

"Hey! Little Annie! ”

"Do you see that flying collector monster in the distance? Hurry up, you see if you're sure to kill it directly?! ”

Miranda, who also had a sense of foreboding in her heart, did not argue more with Shepard, but asked directly to a little guy hiding in the distance in the channel.

'Are you talking about that weird guy who flies like a spider?' ’

"That's right! That's it! ”

'Oh......'

But now it's flying too far for this broken gun to hit it anywhere...... I'll wait until you lure it to the ground! ’

In the channel, little Anne said slowly in an unhurried tone.

Apparently, she had seen the Collector monster in the distance, too! However, due to the limitations of the Mass Effect weapon in the planet's atmosphere and the poor range, she could not do anything about the slowly flying monster now.

The initial velocity of the mass effect weapon in this world is too high, and the frictional heat generation and the vain change of projectile mass and air resistance affect the range of the rifle so much that at a distance of thousands of meters, a little Annie can only wait for the opponent to get close to the right distance...... Or is she willing to use even more outrageous cheating?

For example.....

Without saying a word, he threw over a flame blasting technique or lightning arrow that was locked with mental power or something?

"That's right, then I'll leave it to you later!"

After saying that, Miranda no longer bothered about the other party's reply, but began to hurriedly pick up her two automatic pistols and shoot them through the rift in the colony cabin towards the collectors who were starting to be a little restless.

Shepard had already started fighting, and she Miranda had to cooperate with the attack, otherwise she would definitely not be able to hold this small place alone.

‘σζδργ、ιφκκδβαΘΥΤ！！ ’

(Go ahead!) Destroy those humans!! ）

Leaving the spaceship, it was flying far away in mid-air, and before it reached its destination, the flying collector monster let out an angry roar towards the entire battlefield, and the sound spread throughout the entire battlefield almost instantly.

Although the Collector Archon didn't know what those humans were going on just now, and what kind of advanced weapons they used to attack the four 'Pioneer' soldiers under its control, it didn't want to bother with it anymore...... Just destroy those enemies, destroy each other, and then from the other side's brains and the loot left behind, it will naturally get everything it wants to know!

Therefore, it ordered the Gatherer soldiers, who still had some wisdom but cowered in battle, to give the order for an all-out attack at all costs.

“aaagh！！”

“aaagh！ aaagh！！ ”

In the next second, the countless Collector pawn soldiers began to roar in the sky after receiving the most severe orders from their leader! Then, they began to rush out of cover one by one, charging fiercely towards the hiding place of Shepard and Miranda, and attacking frantically, even if they could not hit the well-hidden enemies, even if they were knocked to the ground one by one by the enemy's rifle fire and accurate long-range sniping!

"Damn it! They're going crazy!! ”

Realizing that the enemy had gone mad, Miranda threw away the automatic pistol in her hand and grabbed the hand-held cannon that was intended to be used against the boss-like monster, and after quickly opening the safe, she pulled the trigger directly from the window towards the densest concentration of collector soldiers in the distance.

Rumble!!

Then continue to reload, and bombard again!

Rumble!!!

An explosion sounded, and the charging momentum of the collector soldiers dozens of meters away suddenly stopped, and with the help of Shepard's strafing attack, plus the help of the little guy Garras and Anne in the distance, they finally suppressed most of the collectors at a distance of more than a hundred meters from them.

The scattered Collector soldiers were only overturned in vain by sniper fire or rifle fire.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!!!

However, Miranda's bombardment did not stop, and when she used up the few recoilless grenades she was carrying at once, and seeing that the situation outside had not improved much, she unceremoniously removed the grenade from the tactical backpack buckle on Shepard's waist and quickly reloaded it into her own hand-held gun.

Now that those collectors have begun to charge intensively regardless of casualties, where does she dare to continue to hold back? If you don't quickly blow up the enemy and block the opponent's attack, once the opponent jumps in through the window, then the two of them will die!

She didn't want to die yet, and she didn't want to be like the little girl who was lying naked at her feet, who had been protected by Sheppadra before, and was now motionless in a strange position, who had been captured by the collectors and studied as living specimens or after she died.

“……”

"Miranda, the flying collector just now, the language and pronunciation it speaks, I seem to be familiar with it..... as if I heard it somewhere?"

While fiercely cooperating with Miranda's bombardment, the Collector soldiers who were still scattered after the bombing, shattering the barrier and falling to the ground and burning, Shepard said with some confusion.

She was convinced that she must have heard the language spoken by the collector somewhere, but for a moment, she couldn't remember it?

"Please, Shepard, don't care where you've heard it!"

"...... Now"

"Damn it! They're really crazy, we're going to be finished! Hurry, hurry! Give me your missile launcher!! ”

After firing nearly a dozen grenades with artillery in a row, only to find that the Collector soldiers were still desperate to rush forward even if they were killed and wounded by dozens or hundreds, Miranda retracted from the window, and in the gap between dodging enemy fire and recovering shields, he once again reached out and forcibly took the supposedly powerful ML-77 individual missile launcher from the tactical weapon position on Shepard's back.

Now they can fight whatever they have, and they will use whatever weapon is powerful, and they can't care about what to do after the fight! If they don't find a way to suppress at least the hundreds or thousands of Collector soldiers who are rushing over at any cost as soon as possible, then they will have no future!

"Miranda!"

"We only have this one rocket, attack those energy fuel piles in the distance, and detonate them directly!!"

The sharp-eyed Shepard saw at a glance the material storage place where the frantic collector soldiers in the distance passed by...... There, the metal boxes stacked on the shelves clearly marked 'Dangerous and Explosives'! Although they will not be easily penetrated or detonated by bullets, if they are small missiles, they can definitely make a big move!

This was already the best thing she could think of in a hurry, and she must have bought them a lot of time.

"Hah! What a great idea!! ”

Sou!!

Without thinking much about it, Miranda glanced at the ground and sky of the material storage place where there were countless Collector soldiers who were running or sliding and leaping with jetpacks, and then he sneered at this, and directly let a rocket with a red tail flame fly towards that place at a ferocious speed!

Da Da!!

Whoosh!!

“aaagh！！”

“aaagh！ aaagh！！ ”

Mass-effect bullets and beams of pulsed energy flew and fired at each other in the air, and one Collector soldier rushed forward or glided in a frenzy, even as enemy grenades or rifles smashed them, and even when countless friendly soldiers running at the front were pinpointed off their heads, necks and dropped to the ground by distant snipers, they still rushed forward frantically!

Because, their collector, the Archon, has given them a strict death order: destroy the two humans hiding in the house at all costs, and then go and pick up the snipers further away! Today, all the humans who came to this colony to cause trouble for them, those small groups of enemies, not a single one of them even thought of running!

Sou!!

A rocket trailing its tail flame flashed past the frantically charging Collectors, and then plunged headlong into the pile of materials marked as 'Dangerous Explosives', and exploded violently!

Rumble!!

In the next moment, the explosion happened......

Boom Rumble......

Under the detonation of small high-energy and high-explosive missiles, those dangerous explosives exploded violently!

A large mushroom cloud of orange and flame-red began to expand and slowly rise, releasing an explosion shock wave that could reach hundreds of meters, as well as various killing pieces, rubble, debris, and more! The fierce fire even directly flooded the collector soldiers in a radius of more than two hundred meters around them, causing them to lose at least half of their troops at once!

Relentless flames swept in all directions, forcing even Miranda and Shepard, who were hiding in the building, to crouch down and defend themselves and some of the unnamed pretty chicks who were unable to move.

However, whether it is Miranda or Shepard, they are not too happy......

Because they all know that even if they lose at least half of their troops, those collectors still have at least a thousand or more soldiers, and they still have an overwhelming absolute advantage over the Normandy II marines, and against their groups of less than thirty people!

“……”

"Wow...... Those things, they're going to explode......"

！ Σ(⊙▽⊙”a

Watching the spectacular cloud of flame mushrooms in the distance begin to slowly dissipate, as well as the fires that almost covered half of the colony and the countless collector soldiers who were burned all over the ground, Xiao Annie smacked her lips with some regret and took the opportunity to replace the heat dissipation magazine of her sniper rifle while exclaiming.

Now the fire is covering a large area, and it looks like it was caused by some kind of fuel...... Anyway, in a short period of time, those collector soldiers would definitely not dare to continue charging like before, which made Anne finally a little free.

Before, in order to help Shepard and Miranda, the two big sisters in the distance, the barrels of the gathered rifles in her hands were red and alarmed, and if they hadn't detonated those things and temporarily blocked the monsters' charge, maybe Anne herself would have had to blatantly use her wide range of magic to strike mercilessly at the enemy.

As long as she wants, a firestorm will go down, and the entire Horizon colonial base will be burned down!

"Okay!"

"Tibbs, now let's take a look at that strange collector flying over, whether it can stand up to the beating?!"

Without the right creeps to snipe at her, Anne was in no hurry, because now the greasy-looking, flying-like collector in the distance had finally flown over.

As long as the other party gets a little closer, she can try to see if the other party's ability is strong or not, and whether it can withstand the blow of her weapon.

（…… ）

O(╯㉨╰)o

(For a certain little master who opened the armor-piercing enchantment, Tiebs doesn't want to comment too much!) It could already imagine what the hapless leader of the Collectors in the distance would do, and Thiebs could already predict it by now, anyway. ）

'EDI, what's going on with the turret?' ’

'We need support, those fires can't stop them for long, you need to hurry up!!' ’

When Little Annie estimated the enemy's distance and prepared to fire a long-range lethal strike, Shepard took advantage of the fact that the collectors did not continue to attack, and urged the artificial intelligence EDI in an anxious tone in the combat channel.

'It's done! ’

'The GARDIAN anti-ship gun crew is 100% charged and has 99% CRACK PROGRESS...... 100%......’

'Commander Shepard, I have now successfully controlled the turret, do you want me to attack the enemy's ships first, or clear the enemy's soldiers first?' ’

Finally, amid Shepard's impatient inquiry, the artificial intelligence EDI on Normandy 2 finally brought Shepard good news: those defensive turrets in the planet's atmosphere built by the Star Federation have finally been cracked and successfully charged, and they can be put into use immediately.

'Leave that collector ship alone, destroy the collector's soldiers first, we need support!' ’

In this situation, where does Shepard still have the heart to care about that battleship?

If EDI didn't act quickly, the reorganized Collector soldiers in the distance would be able to rush to their crater-ridden colony in less than twenty seconds!

And this time, their hand-held artillery and missile launchers no longer have any ammunition, and with the assault rifles and automatic pistols in their hands, they will definitely not be able to hold back the next wave of enemy desperate charges.

'Yes, Commander Shepard! ’

'The data of the enemy target has been successfully collected, the turret has changed to ground attack mode, the shelling will begin in twenty seconds, the high-explosive warhead is ready to be loaded, please pay attention to evasion!!' ’

Soon, the voice of the artificial intelligence EDI rang out again.

'Request for help!' ’

'Great, the turret clears the collectors ahead for us first, they're going to rush in!' ’

'We're too!' ’

'EDI, please hurry! ’

'Damn, they're coming again, we're afraid we won't last that long!' ’

Da-da-da-da!

Da Da!!

The jumbled voices of Shepard and the rest of the Marines began to ring through the Battle Channel, their anxious voices and the sound of gunfire as they opened fire again...... At this time, before the defensive cannons around the base could begin to attack, the Collector soldiers had already begun to launch their second wave of desperate charges in all directions, taking advantage of the fact that the flames scattered across half of the base were gradually decreasing!

Bang Dang!!

The thud of a heavy object falling on the steel sounded, and managed to attract the attention of Shepard and Miranda as they opened fire.

‘Ъёсд、σζδργ、ιφκκδβαΘΥΤ！！！ ’

(Keep moving!) Destroy those human !! ）

Finally, the large spider-like triangular head collector monster leader managed to fly to a distance of about a hundred meters from Shepard and Miranda, and then it stood on top of a large iron box like a container with a huge blue shield, and when it roared again and ordered the collector soldiers who were struggling outside the fire to give a new order, its eyes flashed with a strong light at the same time.

This time, it wants to use its own unparalleled power to directly annihilate the humans hiding in the colony pod in the distance! At this distance, its attacks can easily crush enemies, but enemies can't break through its shields!

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

Sure enough, at this moment, one after another sniper bullets slammed into its shield, but it couldn't help it in the slightest!

'Commander! Please note that my attack does not work against it! ’

'Repeat! My attacks don't work against it!! ’

In the battle channel, Garas's panicked voice rang out.

He had just quickly emptied an entire magazine of bullets towards the huge target in the distance, but ...... The opponent's shield didn't even dodge, so that after quickly changing the thermal magazine, he could only continue to attack in vain the distance the monster like the leader of the collector who posed the greatest threat to Commander Shepard.

Zizi!!

Swish!

Finally, two blue ability eyes that resembled lightning and particle beams, as thick as human thighs, shone energy light waves, instantly formed in front of the two pairs of miserable white eyes of the Collector Archon, and directly plowed two deep ravines in the ground, and at the same time, they strafed towards the two humans who were still resisting in the distance!

Wherever the 'Eye Prism Laser' hits, whether it is a sturdy house, a chest, or those Collector soldiers who are attacking forward, they are like pieces of paper under those two Eye Prism Lasers, and they are instantly melted or cut without the slightest sense of blockage!

However......

Burst!

With a muffled sound, the Collector's shield that had been beaten by Garas for a long time without any reaction actually broke, and then, the huge and ugly triangular head of the Collector Archon tilted in an instant, and at the same time, the two terrifying ability rays also came to an abrupt end in front of Shepard's colonial barn......

Then, its four spider-like steel arthropods trembled slightly, and finally it couldn't hold its balance, and it tilted and planted its head from the top of the large iron box that was like a container to the ground.

Boom!

Another sound of a heavy object hitting the ground sounded......

One of the leaders of the Collectors, the imposing archon of the Collector ship, the only one who was still on the Collector General, the monster who had not yet had time to assert his presence too much, the monster that could remotely control the soldiers and sublimate them into powerful 'Harbingers', was knocked down by Little Anne with a single shot, and let him die successfully in the Horizon colony.

"Cut ......"

"It's so boring, Tibbs, that guy seems to be a little useless, and he died with one shot, what a reckless shot!"

→_→

Originally, little Anne thought how powerful and murderous the other party was, but what did she think...... The other party couldn't even parry her shot? Thinking about that guy is really disappointing to the audience, it's not fun at all!

（…… ）

(That's the leader of the collectors, only...... It's just been killed by a trick you used to cheat.

(๑¯㉨¯๑)

- The leader of the collectors was originally very powerful, anyway, Tiebs felt that if it weren't for this bad little master of the family, if Shepard and those people really dared to rush into the 'Horizon' colony and fight the collectors like that, it is estimated that many people would not be enough to die. ）

"Huh? The monster that has no feet, only a head, a body, and four spider legs, and can fly is their leader? ”

"Tibbs, are you sure you're not kidding?!"

(￣△￣； )

How can the leader be spicy, and it seems that a guy who has only a few points of combat power can really be the leader? Anyway, in Little Annie's impression, the ones who can be leaders are the kind of long-term, ferocious, big, and especially capable guys, such as the big demons of the Burning Legion that I met before?

Like Kil'Gardan, Akmund, or Sargeras, who is so powerful that he has the size of a planet, is he the leader of the bad guys, right?

(The person is obviously the leader, and its energy level is at least a hundred times higher than that of ordinary collectors!) It's dozens of times higher than that Shepard and Miranda! Someone is a real leader-level monster, as long as the brain is not stupid, Shepard and all of them combined can't beat that guy.

(●￣(ｴ)￣●)

- Like Shepard's ability, the battle can only rely on shields and dodge, and the ordinary warrior who can't open the peerless or ride a thousand can't be compared to the collector monster just now. ）

"How do I know......"

"Forget it, whoever makes it spicy is not beaten, and if it dies, it will die, and it deserves it!"

('へ ́*)ノ▄【┻┳═一

Anne won't admit that it's the reason for her cheating, so she can only blame the other party for being too careless, and it's not wrong, it's just spicy!

“……”

“aaagh！？”

The leader was killed in an instant, and the psychic pressure that had been blessed on the Collector soldiers disappeared in an instant, causing them to begin to become chaotic...... Some of the collectors continued to rush forward, while others stopped in a daze, giving Shepard and Miranda another chance to survive.

'The target is calibrated and the bombing begins!' ’

'Attention all Marines, the planetary defense turrets are starting to bombard, so beware of fragment damage!' ’

With the reminder of the artificial intelligence EDI, the four twin-mounted, terrifying caliber intra-atmosphere planetary defense turrets began to level out the muzzles and bombarded quickly!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A dull and far-reaching cannon roar rang out, and then one after another violent explosions rang out in the colony! Instead of defending against the threat from the space warships, the planetary defense weapons created by the Star Alliance for the Horizon colony began to bomb the places they needed to protect......

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!!!

Bursts of high-explosive shells, Mass Effect solid electromagnetic projectiles, and thick beams of pulsed energy began to bombard all the Collector soldiers and corpse golems throughout the colony base, causing them to wail in the flames and energy of the explosion, and were instantly torn to pieces, blown to pieces, or simply melted and evaporated.

Rumble!

Rumble! Rumble!!!

Fire, explosions, smoke, and blue energy clusters dominate the area...... The Gatherer soldiers in the chaos became more and more confused, and could only dodge and flee in all directions. However...... In the face of such a high-powered weapon of planetary defense, any action they make is doomed to be meaningless.

'Not good! ’

'Quick! Edie! Go hit that ship first, but don't let it run! ’

Now that the Collectors were in disarray, Shepard wasn't worried that they would be too much of a threat to her, Miranda, or the rest of the team, so she started to worry about the Collector's ship!

Because at this moment, the Collector spaceship actually began to roar and ignite, and it was obvious that the other party seemed to want to run away directly after the battle was ineffective?!

'Yes, Commander! ’

'Start attacking!' ’

The planetary defense turret began to quickly recharge and move and lift the holes, and then the massive twin cannons, which could directly attack any vehicle that entered the atmosphere, were aimed at the ship that stood in the middle of the colony base.

Boom! Boom!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

A burst of Mass-Effect electromagnetic shells against the ship, or beams of energy particles designed to attack the ship's shield, blast towards the outer walls of the ship! Soon, the shield above it began to erupt in torrential flames, causing the entire upright ship to shake.

'The Collector Battleship Barrier is overloaded and offline ......'

'The outer wall of the Collector Battleship is damaged! ’

As the four planetary defenses bombarded the Collector warships on the ground, the EDI debriefing was promptly reported on everyone's battle channel.

Boom Rumble......

Then, after all, the bottom of the collector ship was like a rocket, spewing a powerful stream of particles, and the huge ship began to accelerate and lift off like a rocket, and it was obvious that the collector might have been frightened and planned to force its way out of the 'horizon' colony.

At this time, the four defensive turrets were obviously unable to blast down the Collector ship with a thick outer wall and accelerated escape in time......

"Hah! Those villains still want to run?! ”

[○･｀Д´･○]

When you see that the other party is going to run, how can you do it? If she really ran away, how faceless would she be Queen Anne?

So, seeing that no one seemed to notice her, Anne secretly stretched out her little hand and grabbed at the spaceship that was flying higher and higher, and was dragging a long blue tail flame!

In the next moment, the hull of the opponent's spaceship suddenly trembled, and then the tail flame on the tail of the spaceship disappeared mysteriously? Then, after sliding some distance in the sky by inertia, the spacecraft plunged headlong into the ground as if it were a high-altitude projectile......

"Humph!"

(*^▽^*)✌

Back then, Queen Anne was able to grab even the more powerful Star Spirit Mothership to the ground, and that terrible Collector spaceship still wanted to turn the sky upside down?

Boom Rumble.....

After a while, it seemed that the Collector's ship had finally fallen to the ground, so there was a faint sound of violent impact.

'EDI! So what's going on? ’

"Did you succeed in defeating it?!"

Miranda was a little puzzled, obviously their artillery did not cause much damage to the enemy, obviously it also ran away, and it seemed that it would soon be able to run into the universe, why did it suddenly take off and crash?!

Could it be that a certain shell magically hit the enemy's vital parts?

'According to monitoring, the energy of the enemy's spacecraft suddenly appeared to be confused, and the reason is unknown......

"Well, then we should be considered a winner!"

Miranda breathed a sigh of relief, believing that the cannonball had hit the enemy's energy heart, so she made her way to the ash-covered ground, and reached out to twist the face of the still motionless chick next to her, and showed a relaxed and smug smile to the other person.

"EDI! Turn the muzzle of the cannon and clear the base of all the collectors! ”

"Normandy II, undisguised, I order you to enter the atmosphere immediately, go to the place where the Collector ship crashed, and bombard any Collector soldiers who escape!"

"The rest of the team, continue to clean up the enemy in the base!"

One by one, Shepard's orders were delivered.

'Yes! ’

"Hah! I forgot that we still have to save the hapless people who have been taken captive...... Ay! Let's hope they weren't thrown to their deaths, right? ”

"Hey! Chick, how do you train your body, how can you be better than me, who often exercises and fights? ”

Miranda was bored, and began to tease the young and beautiful little Nizi who was lying on the side and had just been dragged by Shepard, who was imprisoned by poisonous bees, and looked at the other party's body and said. Even if she's not Lala, she still has the urge to bully the other party!

Especially, now when the other party is motionless?

“……”

However, the other party could not speak, and could only give Miranda a sad and angry look.

"Miranda, I remember!"

"I've found new evidence! The leader of the Collectors just now, it speaks the same language I'd heard in Prosian's beacons before! ”

Suddenly, Shepard became excited, his eyes full of excitement and explained to Miranda, who was sitting on the ground.

"Obviously!"

"The previous Prosin must have been harvested by the Reapers, and then turned into that kind of monster?"

"And, of course, the corpse puppets......"

"I think that if we humans are harvested, we will become like that! Those geth should have also obtained the Reaper's spike transformation technology from the overlord's hands? ”

"It's a pity, it's just our speculation, and the Divine Castle will definitely not trust you!"

Nodding, then shaking her head again, Miranda unceremoniously handed Shepard a basin of cold water, she was not optimistic about Shepard's speculation, because there was no real and valid evidence.

"Hopefully, there's enough evidence in that crashed Collector ship, right?"

"Perhaps...... How many living collectors should we catch? ”

After putting the hot weapon aside, Shepard began to frown and think about it.

“……”

"Caught alive? Good idea! ”

"But, Shepard, I think we'd better catch a collector with a higher enough status?"

Miranda's eyes flickered for a moment, then she nodded and gave a suggestion.

"Good!"

"EDI, hurry up and clear the enemy in the base, send two landing craft over, we have to go to the place where the enemy ship crashed as soon as possible!!"

Shepard agreed with Miranda's suggestion and ordered EDI as soon as possible.

'Yes, Commander Shepard!' ’

'The landing craft has departed and will be outside your colony barn in five minutes. ’

'Huh? ’

'Is there something fun?' I'm going too!! ’
