Woo~~Woo~~Woo~~~!

Bursts of shrill sirens began to resound in all the guards of the Citadel space station and all parts of the Circle, including every alley, every passage, every building...... Almost everyone in the fortress now, regardless of race, men, women, and children, basically heard the rapid and piercing alarm, and most of the people who were even a little concerned about current affairs knew what was going on.

Countless large and small emergency shelters were put into the space outside the fortress by the shelter of the third defense area, and arranged in an orderly manner, countless patrol boats shuttled back and forth, and there were large tugboats one by one to recover those shelters, they worked carefully, doing their best to ensure the safety of the lives of those dignitaries or wealthy people in the fortress.

And at this time......

The C-SEC SWAT teams and patrols that had failed in the Third Ward had now completely abandoned the Third Ward and retreated to the other four Ward cities, patrolling the streets of the city in frustration like defeated dogs, occasionally angrily grabbing a few scum of various races who wanted to take advantage of the fire.

Those who are stupid enough to be planted in the hands of these turbulent C-SEC police at this fateful time will definitely not be good! If they become a tool for their turian police to vent their anger, it must be indispensable, and perhaps, they will be charged with a 'suspected rebel accomplice', and then handed over to the Citadel Court for trial?

When the originally closed five guard areas of the Citadel space station spread out the guard area cities like an open slap and kept them far away from each other, the turian escort fleet stationed around the fortress drove one after another into the cosmic space directly above the city of the third guard district, which was full of gunsmoke.

Of course, their turquoise fleet did not dare to go so far as to bombard the fort's guard area with high-powered weapons such as naval guns, but kept using those small-caliber rapid-fire close-in anti-aircraft guns to suppress and disperse the armed thugs that appeared in the streets, and provided a safe landing ground for their Touareg soldiers who were using landing craft to land.

At this time, in addition to the turian warships driving out any rebels that appeared in the streets, more turian warplanes began to appear over the city of the Third Guard, forming in formation, constantly whizzing back and forth, attacking any armed targets they saw that were not their own.

'Captain! ”

"There are no enemies to be found in the streets for the time being, and they are probably already hiding in the buildings to warm up, do they need to bombard those buildings indiscriminately?"

A formation of three Turkish multi-purpose fighters in space and atmosphere was cruising at a low speed less than fifty meters above a street filled with smoke and fire in the Third Quarter, and they needed to clear the Turks of possible enemies on the street before they arrived.

However, now that they had been flying for a while, they had not found any rebels at all!

The cunning fellows hid when they saw their planes from afar, and the hard steel buildings were like fortresses and fortresses, and if they weren't bombed, there would have been a lot of damage in that kind of street fighting when the Marines began to clean up.

'No! It is strictly forbidden to bombard buildings and streets with high-powered weapons, as that could cause irreversible damage to the Citadel space station! ’

We can't do that without a formal order! ’

Soon, the captain of the plane with the number 030 of the Turquoise, and the pilot of the Turian who seemed to be the captain on it, sternly rejected the suggestion that his wingman 031 had just made.

‘……’

'Captain! I don't think it's because I'm afraid of causing harm to the Divine Citadel, but because I'm afraid of damaging the private property of those dignitaries, right? ’

"Humph......"

'I've heard of other people's buildings, and a building here can almost be exchanged for an advanced cruiser!' ’

“？！”

'A cruiser, brother, is it really as outrageous as you say? ’

At this moment, 032, who had been silent, suddenly chimed in, his tone full of confusion and surprise.

'Outrageous? There are even more outrageous! ’

'In the Circle, money doesn't necessarily buy a house in the Outer Ring! Not to mention the Inner Ring....In the past, it was said that there was an Asari diplomat who was about to retire, and she sold a three-bedroom apartment in the Inner Ring and a storefront, and at the end of the ...... She actually changed to an undeveloped habitable planet and an interstellar cruise ship, and then ran off to retire! ’

‘……’

'Damn blue-skinned asari mounted...... What corrupt bureaucrats of all evils......'

“！！”

'Hey! Brother, don't talk nonsense about this, if it gets out, we will definitely be unlucky! ’

'Hum ......'

Seeing that there was no threat at all, 031 and 032 simply began to talk easily, after all, there were still more than a dozen turquoise cruisers and hundreds of warplanes flying in the sky above the third guard area, and they were not worried that those thugs would dare to rush to the street at this time to die.

For them, today's mission will be as easy and comfortable as an armed parade.

"What!?"

"Not good! Fast! Urgent evasion! ”

At this time, just as the two wingmen were chatting happily, the captain 030 seemed to have noticed something wrong in advance, and at the same time as making an emergency turn to the right, he suddenly gave his wingman an order to evade.

Sou!!

Originally

When they flew past a tall building just now, a window was suddenly shattered from the inside, and then at the same time as the gas from the building was pouring out wildly due to the air pressure difference, an armed thug wearing a C-SEC SWAT helmet and wearing nondescript civilian protective gear appeared at the window, and the other party was carrying a cylindrical thing on his shoulder, and when he was unprepared, he suddenly fired a missile with an orange tail flame at the fighters flying in their three formations. Let it whizz towards them!

"Quick! Swoop! Hasten! Use the building to shake it off! ”

Captain 030 and wingman 031 accelerated to the left in time to dive and narrowly avoided the missile's primary target, but 032 was left behind, just parallel to the building, so he couldn't dive to the left, so he had to pull the joystick to maximize the fighter's engine, and then rushed to the sky with all his might.

However......

032 seems to have made an unforgivable mistake!

Due to the gravitational pull of the Citadel's mass effect simulation, his speed was severely affected when he left the low altitude of the third defense area and ascended high, and he could not be as agile and reach high speed as easily as in space warfare!

'Captain! I can't shake it off! I can't shake it off!! ’

'No!! ’

Rumble!!!

After a bang, the blue Mass Effect shield on the 032 fighter's fuselage flashed directly, and then the smoking fighter continued to fly upwards for less than three seconds, and the mass effect engine in its tail flashed, and it was directly extinguished on the spot......

'Captain!!' ’

"My Mass Effect shield is offline, the engine is overloaded and stalled, and it won't restart! Repeated, can't be restarted! …… I've been captured by the artificial gravity of the Citadel and am about to crash...... I'm going to jump, I'm going to jump!! ”

"My scheduled location is Nishi-ku, and I would like to ask for support......"

As soon as he finished speaking, the cabin of 032 was violently ejected, and then he, who was still sitting in an oval cockpit, was directly thrown into the street in the distance by the tail flame of the emergency jump fine-tuning engine that dragged the weak and could only adjust the direction, and I don't know if he was dead?

'Damn it! ’

'Command! Militants were found in the building of the eighth block, they have anti-aircraft weapons, my squad has been shot down a warplane, the pilot escaped and fell to the West Zone, request immediate rescue! ’

If it had been in the previous battlefield, he would have made a big circle and hit all the high-power weapons into the metal building just now, and he would definitely not give any thugs inside a chance!

However, this is the Citadel, and many things are not up to the pilots at the bottom! The commanders above told them to fight how they wanted, and even if they were restricted everywhere, they could only cry out in vain, and if they dared to mess around, it would be light to send them to a military court.

"The rescue team landing module has departed......"

'030, record the enemy position, the Marines are about to sweep to the eighth block, please pay attention to the safe height! ’

Sure enough, just as Captain 030 had guessed, the Turkish Front Command in the flagship of the Turui Cruiser Fleet above had no idea of options such as retaliatory bombing, and just asked him to record the location of the buildings where the thugs were hiding, so as to provide reference for the marines who swept over in the future.

And this is the sorrow of these little people of the Turks, in that hierarchical Turkic Empire, there is not much they can do.

"Captain! Watch out ahead!! ”

"No !!"

Da Da!!

Just as 030 was busy slowly raising the altitude and intending to pull the fighter to a slightly safer height, suddenly, in the dilapidated gates of a building in front of him, several Krogan and Batari militants without any protective gear suddenly burst out, and they aimed their C-14 Gauss rifles at the sky almost at the same time, and were shooting wildly at the two low-altitude fighters that were flying past!

Dada!!

Rumble!!!

was already distracted, and a little too late to dodge the captain 030 was hit by a dense eight-millimeter 'spike' Gauss bullet on the spot and the mass effect shield went offline instantly, and then the fighter armor, which was not too thick, was also torn apart by high-speed high-power bullets in an instant, and was directly blown up by the volley in an instant, and there was no chance to jump out of the plane......

Dadada!!

The same goes for the other 031 wingman who was less attacked, and was directly blown out by the enemy on the ground!

It's just that this 031 seems to have better luck, only the shield has been broken, the engine on the left has been broken, and the right one is barely working...... So, it luckily dragged the trail of gunholes and a tail of smoke, and before more attacks could come, it hurriedly lifted into the air and fled towards the fleet above.

Almost at the same time, the close-quarters small-caliber guns of the cruiser fleet above retaliated and bombarded the city below! A single shot turned several Krogan and Batari militants who had no time to retreat back into hiding into a ball of flaming shattered fire......

At the same time, a similar situation is happening throughout the cities of the Third Quarter.

The slums and thugs who have rebelled from the 'foundation' world seem to see that the Turks' warships and warplanes will not open fire on buildings at will? After that, they took advantage of the defensive advantages of one building after another, and specially took advantage of the cold to beat those fighters and small landing craft that dared to fly at low altitudes to crash, explode or flee in embarrassment!

"Bastard!"

"Turian warriors, for the honor of our Turkish, for the sake of our Turian Empire, attack, crush their ignorant scum!"

"Remember, the soldiers, all the thugs with weapons in their hands, kill them all, and leave no !! behind."

At this time, in the only neighborhood park that had not yet been occupied by the rioters, this neighborhood close to the Circle District, a lieutenant colonel officer of the Turks looked at the fighters who would be beaten by the rioters for a while, and then cruelly gave the order for a general attack on the thousands of Turkish regular troops, hundreds of special combat vehicles for street fighting, and at least two or three thousand floating cannons, auxiliary attack robots, and other troops who had already landed around him.

Moreover, he also issued a massacre order, asking the Turui soldiers not to accept any prisoners, so that the adverse effects of this rebellion on the Turui people would be passed on to the thugs!

Their general had given him, the lieutenant colonel, the strictest order to complete the ground city of the 3rd Guard District, which had been ravaged by the mob, by tonight and at all costs! As for the part of the underground 'foundation', it will be the long-term goal of the next combat mission, and it is not something that he needs to care about now.

'Onward! ’

'Forward!' ’

'All the troops!!' ’

Soon, as the order was issued layer by layer, countless turian soldiers, robots, combat armored vehicles, and those fighters who had escaped from the sneak attack and cold guns in the air began to slowly form and turn, and under the cover of the battleships and unreliable fighters in the sky, shouting the slogans of the turian people, firmly moving with neat steps, using armored vehicles and those cannon fodder semi-intelligent military robots as the lead, starting from the block where the third guard area and the ring area are connected, Steadily pressed up towards the tail of the guard area.

In the next few hours, they need to reclaim buildings, streets, and rooms from the hands of the rebel thugs!

Although this combat mission is somewhat difficult, with the help of countless advanced equipment and various war machines that are good at street fighting, they are confident that they can do it all.

"Head ......"

"Head...... Chieftains! ”

"Look, their turian soldiers are pressing over, should we flee first ..... retreat first?!"

A somewhat timid Krogan thug said timidly to their leader, however...... He only received a cruel and bloodthirsty look, which frightened him so much that he had to shrink back and dare not speak easily.

“……”

At the top of a low building about a mile or so in a straight line in the direction of the turian army, behind the glass window of a room, the hero of the 'Foundation' world, Grant, the leader of the Krogan who led their revolt against the people abandoned by the Citadel, was leading a group of heavily armed elite militants who were almost entirely Krogan in the building.

Fortunately, the Turks did not order a direct attack on the building with high-powered weapons, and fortunately, the Turks did not know that the leader and main backbone of the rebels were here, otherwise, no matter how much the main guns of the battleship bombarded it, the rebellion in the third sector would have been completely solved.

Of course, the arrogant Turks don't know all this, and they stubbornly believe that they can retake the city from the rebellious thugs at a fraction of the cost, and are confident that they won't suffer too many casualties! Because they are the most powerful Turian regular army in the entire Divine Citadel, and they have the ability to do whatever they want!

"Humph! They won't be able to rush here in a short time, so we don't need to rush to withdraw for the time being......"

"Hmm......"

"Are all the good things in our occupation area finished moving now, and how much is it still missing?"

Grant, the leader of the Krogan uprising, looked at the dense army of Turks in the distance with his scarlet vertical pupils, and after a moment of deliberation, he gasped for a while, snorted, and turned to one of his subordinates in a muffled question.

"Boss!"

"Those things can't be moved, there are too many good things, we are only half a day younger, at most we have moved less than half of it!"

The green-skinned Clogan who had been questioned stepped forward and replied in a loud voice.

After they broke through to the surface of the Guard City and occupied a large area of territory, their boss Grant asked them to send the poor people who were not equipped with weapons, but were willing to follow them to rush to the ground to rebel desperately, and scavenged everything they could from the shopping malls, buildings, hotels, or other shops and houses they occupied, and moved them all to the 'foundation' world that belonged to them under the Guard!

Obviously, their boss Grant was not carried away by the victory, and neither did they, and they knew that confronting the official forces of the Citadel on the 'ground' of the guard area would be a dead end! Therefore, they are extremely supportive of their boss's strategy of retracting after winning the battle and grabbing something.

They rebelled with iron heart, but they just wanted to live a better life, but they didn't really want to die in vain!

"Boss! You saw it too! ”

"Now that their turian planes and warships are flying above us, it's really not easy to move the big guys, so we can only slowly carry the smaller ones from some small passages."

"What's worse is ...... Those damn caregivers, they're too much trouble! The gaps that we finally blew up, they always want to fix them as soon as possible, and I killed several of them just now, but they are getting more and more ......."

When it comes to the nurses who will automatically repair the damage of the Divine Citadel, and will only be beaten and will not fight back, this green-skinned Krogan will complain! Those things had seriously hindered their carrying work, but the boss Grant had ordered that they should not kill too many of them at will, which made him very annoyed.

"Now you can move as much as you can! Prioritize moving weapons or things you can use...... After the defense line in front of us here is broken through by those Turui people, we will all retreat underground! ”

"Humph......"

"Those turreans, they will definitely be unforgettable!"

Grant brutally pushed away the green-skinned Krogan before taking two steps forward again, bringing his hideous face and red eyes directly to the window, carefully staring at the menacing enemies in the distance, the Turks who were said to be the old enemies of their Klogans!

It is said that after quelling the rebellion of Krogan, the Turks stepped on the corpses of their Krogan and ascended to the throne, not only gaining a seat in the Citadel Council in one fell swoop, but also deploying a biological weapon invented by those damned Salarians called 'Gene Phagen' specifically against Krogan!

Then, the Krogan people were reduced to the point where they are now, and they could only survive on the planet Tutzenka, on that desertified and barren planet, and became the lowest existence in the Divine Citadel...... And if it weren't for the fact that he Grant was accidentally taken to the Citadel, he probably wouldn't have known about such a thing.

So today, their Krogan revenge against the Turks can be said to have started first.

"You! Quarian woman! ”

"Our precious mines...... They're already buried, right? Don't let me down, or you'll know what will happen......"

Seeing that the Turui army had almost arrived at the predetermined battlefield position, Grant suddenly turned to a Quarian next to him who was hiding in a chemical hazmat suit and asked in a cold voice.

Spider Thunder (Widow Thunder)

-- The spider mine developed by Viktor Kaczynski, a soldier of the Union Insurgent Army, represents the future development direction of the Heroic Federation's automated and intelligent suicide weapons, and has typical representative significance.

These war devices, which rely on four alloy explosion-proof arthropods to walk on the battlefield, can not only carry out remote manual remote control, but also can be programmed to carry out automatic attacks! Once the key area is set, when any unidentified enemy approaches, they will use short-distance vertical take-off and landing jets, or mechanical limbs that can move quickly in complex terrain to get close to the enemy at high speed, and after reaching the killing distance, overload or directly detonate the small fusion reaction in the body, and use it to produce a powerful explosion to kill and injure enemy individual soldiers and armored targets!

"Of course yes, honorable Chief Grant!"

"At your request, our engineering team has wrapped two to four deuterium-eight explosive devices in the back of each spider mine with superglue...... If they get close to the Turks, it will be enough for them! ”

Rumble!!!

As soon as the Quelli woman, who was also carrying a C-14 Gauss rifle on her back, finished speaking, a huge explosion was heard in the distance!

At the same time, in the vicinity of the Turks' attacking vanguards, mechanical spiders that seemed to have something strange on their backs slammed out of the windows of the surrounding houses, or through the debris of the streets, or from under a gap in the camouflage of corpses......

Some of them directly turn on the ejectors and fly towards the enemy in a catapult manner! The other part simply made a quick S-shaped maneuver on the ground, while using the ruins and obstacles to avoid the shooting of the Turui soldiers and rushed at high speed!

Soon, whether it was those who were directly blasted by the elite turians, or those who managed to approach or rush to the enemy's crowd, those things that looked like spiders and were the size of puppies, soon exploded violently!

Rumble! Rumble! Thundered......

Trumpets of mushroom clouds instantly engulfed countless turian soldiers, machinery and equipment, or heavy chariots that opened the way in flames and smoke...... Even, the powerful explosion wave also caused many low-flying armed airships or planes to be directly blown out, planted headlong into the distant city, and then made a relatively small explosion sound when falling.

"Hehehe......"

"Good, that's it!"

"Quili woman, keep up the good work, just like that, in the streets and houses along the way, set me at least half the number of spider mines and deuterium-eight explosive devices! And the remaining half should be enough to keep to defend the 'foundation'! ”

Looking at the huge range of damage in the distance and the tragic casualties of the enemy, Krogan Granger cracked open its large mouth and issued his new order with a cruel smile.

"Yes, I'll tell it now, and I'll be able to do it soon!"

The Quarian woman nodded, turned and walked briskly to the door of the room.

Laying out those construction machinery activity mines is not too difficult for a race like them that specializes in renovating abandoned ships, second-hand ships, and recycling technology! The only thing that makes them more difficult may be translating those unfamiliar programming languages of Earth humans, right?

The set of instructions is very different from what earthlings are used to now, making it a little difficult for them to deal with! It's just that fortunately, those spider mines are standard weapons, and as long as one is successfully cracked, the rest are very easy to set up.

"Humph......"

"Brothers, watch for you, we will soon have the freedom we deserve! But before we can do that....., we must first show those Turks how powerful our 'foundation' people are! ”

"The people of our earthly world are not scum who only deserve to eat garbage in the eyes of their bureaucrats!"

"When we show our fangs, they will know what fear is!"

“aaagh！”

“aaagh！！”

“aaagh！ aaagh！！！ ”

A group of lawless rebels, a group of Krogan slaves or mercenaries who were not afraid of death, cheered loudly in the room, each holding a Gauss rifle in his hand.

Although the battle had just begun, in their eyes, it was as if they had already won.

————————

Bang!!

There was a sound of a fist slamming against the metal table.

"Bastard! Why are you holding my Normandy II? ”

"Do you know who I am? I'm leaving port now, I'm on a mission that affects the safety of the entire galaxy, why are you holding my ship and refusing to let it go? If you delay my mission, can you afford to pay the responsibility?! ”

In D1 of the Circle of the Citadel Space Station, in this D24-only dock in the Normandy II docking area, Shepard was angrily propped up on the metal tabletop with his hands, looking down angrily at the human staff of the Customs Department sitting behind the desk.

After the rebellion on the Citadel space station, Shepard realized that there would be trouble here, so she immediately ordered the crew to cancel their vacation and return to the battleship, and she herself took advantage of the rebellion to reach the ground of the city in the Guardian District too much in the first time, and grabbed a certain little guy in the first place!

It's the little girl who is standing beside her with an innocent face now, really curious to look around!

“……”

(，，•́.•̀，，)？

But how could you think, when they returned to Normandy 2 and finished replenishing and testing and preparing to leave the port, her Shepard's movements were still a little slower, and after the ban was issued, their spaceship, like the others, was seized by the customs department and ordered not to be released for the time being?!

Although she had expected this kind of thing, in the event of a rebellion in the Divine Citadel, the necessary security checks and port closures would definitely be a must! However, what happened to her now also delayed her plan, which naturally made her feel very unhappy!

"Of course I know who you are, Lady Shepard, our great hero......"

"I'd like to let you out of here at once, but...... The order to seize all ships was given by the Turkian general, who was in charge of the security of the Citadel space station, and the Turks said: No ship shall leave the port until the inspection and registration of all ships calling at the port is completed! ”

The human customs agency clerk from Earth innocently spread his hands, signaling that he could not do anything about the matter, and asking Shepard to stop pestering him. Before the Turks lift the ban, even if the other party smashes his metal table, it will be useless!

Because, now there is a major rebellion in the third defense area of the Citadel space station, not to mention their C-SEC customs office, now almost everywhere is the Turui general who is responsible for countering the rebellion!

At least, until the rebellion is put down, or a new order of the Council is issued!

"Those damn Turks can't take care of me!"

"I'm still a Ghost of the Citadel, and the Council has just reinstated my identity! So, I now order you to hurry up and release those magnetic armguards from my ship, and let's get out of port at once! ”

There was no way, after thinking about it, Shepard could only grit his teeth and bring out his identity as a 'ghost of the Divine Castle', intending to fool this human staff member and let him leave with one eye open and one eye!

Otherwise, who knows how long this Citadel space station will be locked down by those turbulent miscellaneous pieces?

If the blockade lasts for ten days and half a month or something, once her affairs are delayed, and the time comes, when the time comes, then everything will be over, and no one will want to live!

"Shepard Chief......

"I've detected your identity as a Divine Citadel ghost just now, but I advise you to be patient!"

Shaking his head, even if the other party brought out the special identity of the ghost of the Divine Castle, even if the other party could indeed order him to let him go, the human customs office staff still shook his head and sighed and refused the other party.

"Why?"

"Could it be...... Those Turks gave strict orders for military control?! ”

Seeing this reaction of this human C-SEC customs officer, Shepard thought about it, and seemed to think of something not very good.

"Yes!"

"We have just received an order from the Turkic fleet to blockade the port, and now if any ship dares to leave the port before the investigation is over, the turian cruiser outside can be sunk without notification!"

"So, Sir Shepard, I advise you to think twice?"

Pointing to the corridor outside, the huge turbulent cruisers in the distance, the human staff of the Customs Department explained this in a reassuring way. In this situation, no matter how good the performance of Normandy II is, it will definitely not be able to escape the siege of those turbulent warships when it has just left port!

He didn't want to see the new, beautiful Normandy II just smashed into the scum floating in space.

"Damn!"

Bang!

Enraged, Shepard slammed his fist into the metal table again, causing the human staff member to glare at her innocently.

"Did they say how long they were going to be sealed?!"

Turning his head to look at the turbulent warships outside, looking at the hideous muzzles, Shepard still extinguished the idea of forcing his way out. Because she also knows that at this distance, even if Normandy No. 2 can be invisible, they will definitely not be able to run away until their speed is improved.

"I'm sorry, I don't know!"

Continuing to shrug his shoulders, the human staff member leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms and looked at the woman who had come to his office and lost her temper.

"But I can give you a little bit of information, anyway, with your Castle Ghost Permissions, you can find out?"

"It is said that the Turks have seized some of the rebels' weapons, and they plan to check all the ships that have recently docked in the harbor and the records of their unloading, in order to find out who said that the weapons and equipment were transported to the Citadel and handed over to the poor people of the 'foundation' world?"

"So, your Normandy No. 2 must be on the list of key checks, because the timing of your visit is a bit too coincidental......"

After a few moments of operation on his work terminal, the human staff of the C-SEC Customs Department showed Shepard a checklist standing at the desk, on which he also had the name of Normandy No. 2.

"But we don't have any unloading operations at all!!"

Hearing that this was the case, Shepard looked at the list for a while, and then glared at the human employee of the C-SEC Customs Department again, hoping that the other party would give him a satisfactory explanation.

"Of course it is!"

"Our records and surveillance have not found any signs of unloading or 'smuggling' of large quantities of your ship...... However, the Turks don't believe us! ”

Ms. Shepard...... Anyway, if you're innocent, let them check it? I think it's half a day at most, and it's time to check this port docking area, so you might as well go and rest for a while! ”

After getting his terminal back from the other party's hand, the human staff of C-SEC began to chase people, and he still had a lot of work, but he didn't want to continue to waste time with this powerful woman.

“……”

"Strange, those weapons...... How the hell did the guys in their 'foundation' get it? Could it be that someone really didn't want to kill and smuggled so many weapons to them?! ”

Shepard didn't leave the customs office, nor did he pay attention to the human clerk who had started to go about his business, but crossed his arms and began to think.

The 'Foundation' world of the Citadel is a complex area, and no cop would want to go there, and of course, no cop would let those guys out at will! It was like a prison, or a place of exile, where sometimes criminals were thrown into it and left alone, and then never seen again, as if the world had evaporated......

Not many people in the 'foundation' world knew what was going to happen inside, not even Shepard himself knew only a little bit about it, that it was a slum-like world, and that was it.

“……”

"Sister Shepard, since I can't leave the port now, why don't I go out for a while by myself?"

(´◔‸◔`)？

Anne wouldn't tell the other party that the weapons in the hands of the rebels were the ones she sold! Anyway, no one can find evidence of this kind of thing, she's just a little girl, who would believe that she can conjure up a lot of weapons? Who would believe in something that no one would believe even if they were killed?

"Well, don't run around, just move around the Circle!"

Feeling that he was also waiting now, and there was nothing to do, Shepard waved his hand with a little headache, signaling the little guy to find a place to go wild!

Now that all the passages leading to the guard area have been closed, and she can only move around the circle, she is not afraid of any danger that the little guy will have.

"Yay! I went to play with Little Bear, goodbye Sister Shepard! ”

"I'll go back at dinner in the evening!"

(✧◡✧)✧*｡ ✧*｡

After saying that, Anne cheered, and ran out of the very boring customs office with her little bear in a hurry.

（…… ）

(Stupid earthlings, the culprit you are looking for is all around you...... ）

(●￣(ｴ)￣●)

"Shut up, Tibbs!"

(▼ヘ▼#)

————————

It's still Anderson's spacious, bright Human Council member's office, and now, while Shepard and the C-SEC Customs Department staff are pestering each other, all the top executives of the Citadel Council are gathered here, and yes, they're in an emergency meeting right now!

In addition to Anderson and the Udina advisors who rushed to the hearing and make sure Councillor Anderson didn't make a low-level mistake, there were also holograms of the members of the Council of the Asari, the Serrare, and the Turks! Of course, there must be the general of the Turkian military who is in charge of the security of the fortress, plus a modified C-14 assault rifle that is also being projected in the middle of Anderson's office, and the rifle's information and nameplate on it!

C-14 "Penetrating" Electromagnetic Rifle

Caliber: 8 mm

Features: Launches metal spike bullets at supersonic speeds......

“……”

"I'm sorry guys!"

"We, the Earth military, have never researched or produced similar weapons...... Look at this weapon...... Or the Kprustar District, the Federation of Heroes? ”

"It's a big joke!"

"I never remember that our Earth Star Federation had such a colony, or a federal country...... Also, that 2500 years is even more ridiculous! General Turui, did you travel through time and space to get me this weapon from the future? ”

In front of all the council members, Anderson first carefully studied all the data and construction of the rifle, and he was amazed in his heart, and he suddenly laughed heartily.

"Your Excellency General Turui!"

"Before you frame us Star Alliance, could you please make the evidence a little more like?"

"Take a closer look, these metals...... The process of this processing ...... And these firing devices...... This small fusion reactor ...... Tsk, that's amazing! Such a small and fusion reactor is simply beyond my imagination! ”

"At the same time, the name of this foundry, the scientific research institute, the federal Misstaff IV planet...... It's a pity that I, as a Star Alliance Admiral, have never heard of these names! ”

Looking at the data and analysis results on the hologram, Anderson looked at the turian general who had just poured dirt on the human race with disdain after the operation was completed.

The other party's little trick is really clumsy, if this kind of thing can be used to slander the Star Alliance, then all the council members here are a bunch of fools!

Congressman Anderson...... Could this have something to do with Cerberus? ”

“……”

"I feel the same way!"

"As a member of the Turkish Council, I also think that our general's words seem to be a little inappropriate......"

"yes, I think it might have something to do with what happened to us......"

At this time, the three council members exchanged glances with each other, and then Councillor Asari spoke a cryptic word.

“？！”

Senator Asari...... Are you referring to Shepard? ”

At this time, Udina hurriedly grabbed Anderson's arm, who was about to say something, and took two steps forward, standing directly in front of the three council members and the holographic projection of General Turui, directly blocking what Anderson wanted to say.

"Everyone!"

"Shepard is working for Cerberus now, and they happened to be in the Citadel at this time...... This is indeed very suspicious......"

"But, no matter what, this kind of thing shouldn't be used to discredit our Star Alliance!"

"That Cerberus organization is still on our Starlink's wanted list until now!"

Udina took a slight step to the left without a trace, once again blocking Anderson, who was about to step forward to defend Shepard.

"We at Starlink are sorry about what is happening in the Citadel...... But we assure you that the Star Federation has absolutely nothing to do with Cerberus, or with the terrorists! ”

"We seriously protest against any false accusations against us!!"

Udina righteously stated the star-league's position on this matter, and now that the matter in the third guard area of the Divine Citadel is so big, whoever gets involved will be unlucky!

So, he had to pluck the humans, or at least their star alliances, out of it first! And in fact, he Udina also dared to guarantee that it would definitely not be their Star Alliance who did it! If they really had that kind of powerful individual weapon, how could they give it to a group of terrorists in the first place?

Those Gaussian weapons that work wonders for the Mass Effect shield, it's too late for them to hide them! And, of course, the miniaturized fusion reactors! In the current shortage of element zero, the energy used for nuclear fusion is all over the universe, and it is easy to find a place!

"Really? Hum! Who knows if you're related or not? ”

Obviously, the turian general, who is eager to find a scapegoat, does not intend to get rid of the suspicion of mankind so easily, even if he can't slander the other party, he will make them into trouble!

"Councillors!"

"I can vouch for it, this has absolutely nothing to do with Shepard! Even Cerberus, they probably wouldn't be able to make such a weapon! Whether it's missiles, rifles, nuclear grenades or smart spider mines, it's a huge military-industrial complex, and if I wasn't sure I'd never heard of the so-called Heroic Federation, I would have almost thought that some country was backing the terrorists! ”

"So, I don't think this has anything to do with Shepard or Cerberus!"

Ignoring the look of the Udina advisor next to him, Anderson roared angrily, defending Shepard for no reason.

"That's hard to say...... Anderson, you and I both know that they can even save the dead, so what's so strange about making some advanced weapons or replicating another, more advanced Normandy II? ”

At this time, the Turui parliamentarian also leaned on the mouth to mock. It wasn't the Star-United's doing, this thing could be true, but if it wasn't Cerberus who did it, it's hard to say.

“……”

"Shepard in the Citadel? She's alive? When did this happen? ”

The turbulent general was suddenly a little stunned.

Originally, he just wanted to embarrass the human race, and then force the other party not to make it too difficult for Tu Rui in this matter, and he didn't think about imposing the crime on the human race...... After all, the evidence is really not very reliable, the nameplates on the weapons of those rebel thugs are 108,000 miles away from the relationship between the Star Federation, except for the words of the earth, the others have no meaning at all, and they are not conclusive evidence!

"Just now! They stop at the D1 Normandy pier: stop D24"

Councillor Serrarui said lightly at this time.

"Excellent! I'm going to send someone to arrest and investigate them now! ”

As soon as his spirits were lifted, General Turui planned to carry out his own operation! That Shepard, he hasn't been pleasing to the eye for a long time, and now he has a chance, let's catch it first! Then, if she didn't do it, he also had a way to make it like she did it!

"Wait!"

At this time, without waiting for the Turui general to leave, Udina hurriedly stretched out his hand and called out to the other party.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the stakes are high, and I think, for the sake of fairness...... For Shepard or us humans not to be wronged, this thing ...... It's better for each of the four clans to send a representative to conduct a joint investigation? ”

“……”

“……”

The councillors of the three clans looked at each other, then nodded.

"Advisor Udine, you are indeed a wise human, this is a good proposal, and we gladly accept it!"

"Yes, we will send a representative!"

"Representative of Turui, that's our general......"

"Well, goodbye, I hope to see the results of the investigation soon."

Soon, the council members of the various ethnic groups turned off the holograms, which kind of set the tone for this troublesome matter.

“……”

Anderson watched those guys leave, and breathed a sigh of relief, this thing, it doesn't seem too bad?

"Anderson, you almost got into big trouble just now!"

Udina glared at Anderson viciously, and when he had said that, he turned away in hatred.

Not to mention, the investigation of Shepard and Normandy 2, he must be the representative of the human star federation, and then he can improvise.

This matter, in any case, can't be related to human beings, at least not with the Star Union! If it was really Cerberus who did it, then Shepard would have to sacrifice him!

“……”

"Sure enough, it's not for nothing that I hate those politicians!"

Watching Udine and the councillors leave, Anderson shouted and turned to look out the window: there, over the city of the Third Guard, warships, landing craft, and warplanes were flying here, and the streets were fighting, and the smoke and fire were ringing out! But anyone can see that it is only a matter of time before the rebels are put back on the 'foundations' or completely exterminated.

As for his own speech just now, Anderson didn't think there was anything wrong with it, those rifles, if he was a little more advanced, he might not dare to speak thinly, but now, he didn't think that Cerberus had the ability to make that kind of electromagnetic Gauss weapon of another system, it was a mature war weapon, not something that could be made by casually studying a few times!

Fortunately, he had just secretly copied all the information about the weapon, so presumably their Star Alliance's engineering academy must be able to reverse research it, right? A weapon that can easily break through Mass Effect shields and ability barriers is a good thing!

It would be nice to be able to catch one of the thugs in the know and ask for the cause....... but this is handled by the Turks, who don't want to get too much out of it......
