Chapter 0570: Zeratul and the Golden Fleet

Sou!!

A beautiful black-and-white frigate-sized spaceship with the Starlink logo suddenly appeared in the turbulent galaxy, and then very quickly, it suddenly entered a state of optical and radar stealth, undetected by anyone or equipment, as if it had never appeared.

Actually, it didn't need to hide in such a hurry, because no one in this star field would pay attention to a spaceship the size of a frigate!

'Zizi ......'

'Report to the Commander! ’

'Normandy 2 has successfully jumped to the intended target area: the home planet of the Turks, Palaven! ’

Now our ship has entered a state of invisibility, and the orbit error from the original destination is about 15,000 kilometers...... Well, it was my mistake, I didn't expect there to be a war here......

'Don't worry, I'm in the process of tuning it now......

‘……’

'Report! Bad news: the Turian fleet has been spotted fighting the Reapers! And the good news: neither of them found us! ’

‘OK……’

'Commander Shepard! I've sent you the battle footage, and you can now watch it in real time in the conference room, and that's it! ’

Shepard, Miranda, Ashley, Liara and the others in the battle room received a series of messages from the helmsman clown at the bridge.

The group had been waiting here for a while, and of course, it must have been one of the little Führers of Anne, who was sitting on the steel supply boxes on the other side, shaking his legs and munching on a large bag of delicious spicy strips.

"Hmm......"

"Delicious!"

(ˊᵒ̴̶̷̤ꇴᵒ̴̶̷̤ˋ)

"Mmmm......mmmm

φ(ꈍ『ꈍ) o╭╯Chew!

Spicy strips or something, that's actually when she was in the Earth Bear Shield Bureau, after sweeping a supermarket in New York that was bombed by aliens all day, she threw her brain into her space bag, and I don't know how long she has been in it...... It wasn't until a while ago that she stumbled upon the extraterrestrial imports she had swept from the Citadel...... Then, of course, she fell in love with this interesting gluten snack made with condiments such as wheat flour, chili pepper and sugar.

"Annie, like your children, you should eat less of these junk foods, it's not good for your health!"

Although Miranda said this, she unceremoniously reached out and took out two of the large packets of spicy strips that Little Anne was holding and put them in her mouth and chewed them beautifully with half-squinted eyes.

It's right that children can't eat more, but she, Miranda, is no longer a child, she is running fast, her body has strong resistance and high immunity, so if she eats more, or more, then it must be nothing.

"You're talking nonsense!"

"I ate a lot and didn't feel like a problem at all! Only his stupid guy will have diarrhea and vomit bile after eating!! ”

( ̄▽ ̄)o╭╯

Anne pulled out another one, and then pointed to the shameless Turk Guerras, who was sitting honestly on the side with a face as white as a plate armor.

Before they came to the home planet of the Turks, they had already been frolicking and eating here, and then, when a shameless creature saw that they were eating happily, he couldn't help but come over and beg for a few kengans to put in his mouth and chew.

And then.....

His Excellency Garas, who was nicknamed the Archangel and Gai Shaoxia, who had a white paint totem on his face armor, had only barely suppressed the poisoning with the help of Dr. Kailin Jakoworth, and had forced his physical discomfort to come to this combat conference room to prepare for the audit.

"That's not bile, that's what the blood of the Turks looks like!"

Ashley, who was licking her fingers, looked at the turian who didn't know what was going on in her head with some amusement.

She's not the kind of woman who likes to snack, but ...... She'd just eaten a few of them, and now she's pretty much satisfied, not like the Miranda of Cerberus who wants more, she's a contented warrior who knows how to restrain her desires, whether it's appetite or whatever.

“……”

You're done......

When Galasge saw the mocking gazes of the humans, he could only turn his pale face slightly to the other side, he didn't want to talk to the little girl now, and he didn't want to look at the gloating faces of the adult female humans.

It was a time for him to discover that those humans were so ugly...... They don't care about him, but they still sneer at him?

This matter started half an hour ago......

At that time, he should not have reached out to the little girl to ask for that strange food called 'spicy strips', as those earthlings and Asari did, or he wouldn't have made it like this...... It is conceivable that in the next battle to protect the homeland of the Turks, he, Geras, the archangel, will definitely not be able to participate!

Now that he can't even hold a weapon steadily, and he can't even stand up very reluctantly, he definitely can't participate in the war with the Reaper and try to help his people.

This is really a huge regret for him, and it is likely to make him regret it for the rest of his life?!

"This kind of thing is normal and reasonable!"

"Galas, you should know that you Turks, although they are the same carbon-based oxygen-consuming beings as our Asari, Serari and humans, but don't forget, the amino acids in your Turks are right-handed, which is not the same as us L-amino-based acid creatures, and you must not forget this next time!"

"So, apart from the foods on the battleship that have been marked as common to all races, it's best not to casually try these strange foods of the earth that you haven't seen before...... Otherwise, next time it will not be as simple as causing allergies and vomiting and diarrhea...... If you're not careful, you'll be dead! ”

After saying that, little Lori, who was already more than a hundred years old, and that Liara also came over with a smile, and naturally picked up a long red spicy strip from the food bag in Little Annie's hand, and then skillfully put it in her mouth and began to chew it.

Like the earthlings, they are all L-amino acid creatures, and they all evolved in the biosphere of L-amino acids! So, she wasn't worried that this thing called spicy strips would poison her at all! In fact, as long as it is food that poisons the earthlings, it will also definitely not poison their Asari, and she has nothing to worry about at all.

She liked this sweet and spicy taste very much, and when she put it in her mouth, it was an explosive taste bud enjoyment, which made her a little......

She thinks those earthlings are so smart!

They actually know how to use numb, spicy, sweet, salty and other heavy flavors to stimulate the tongue, and then transmit biological signals through the sensitive cells of the taste buds and stimulate the pituitary gland of the creature, so as to achieve the superficial hallucination of hallucinogenic drug addiction......

Well, although she knew this simple principle right away, she just wanted to eat!

"Also, Miranda, you're not right!"

"This kind of thing is made from the crude starch, plant materials, sugar, and so on of your earthlings, although it has not been delicately processed, and the nutrients and energy it can provide to the human body are limited...... However, as a snack, it generally does not have too bad effects on the body of small children! ”

"There is a premise for this, that is, you need to pay attention to the normal nutrition intake of the main meal every day, so it should be enough, at most, it is easy to gain weight if you eat too much and often do not exercise and consume?"

Liara has lived for more than 100 years, and with so much time to study, she knows everything about most things, whether it's physical science, interstellar navigation, combat techniques, the use of abilities, and even human medicine and food!

Therefore, when it comes to nutrition, she, an Asari, can be said to have the most say.

"Hey! What do you guys want to do? ”

(¬‸¬)?

Anne didn't care about the blue-skinned alien woman who said things in a way but kept moving in her hands, because she found that those muscular men named James, Cayden, Jacob, etc., actually wanted to come together?

Therefore, little Anne quickly and vigilantly hid her snacks behind her, like a kitten protecting food.

"Go away!"

"Now I don't have your share, just now I have already given you a big bag, why do you still want to come to ask me for something to eat, you guys are already adults, how can your skin be thicker than him?!"

(。 •ˇ‸ˇ•。 )!

Seeing that the muscular men with arms as thick as their thighs also wanted to learn from Miranda and the crooked star Liara who came over and continued to eat, little Anne pointed to the dejected Garras who was sitting in a chair and asked them rhetorically.

The human beings on the earth can't be like the Turui people, relying on a mask on their faces, they can be shameless!

“……”

Garras opened his mouth, and finally, he turned his face away weakly.

He is thick-skinned himself, of course he knows this!

However, they were born like this, and they can't change it...... And this little human, how could she use the physiology of their Turui people to make such a joke?

This thing is really unreasonable, it's not funny at all!!

It's just that now he Gai Shaoxia is seriously unwell, he has a large number of adults, and his chest is as wide as the galaxy...... Anyway, he didn't want to meet that little human kid now, so that others wouldn't say that he was a bully to the kids......

Boom!!

The sound of slapping the table suddenly sounded!

“……”

"I mean, you've had enough of making a fuss with you guys!?"

A stern shout rang out in the conference room, causing all the Normandy No. 2 team members who were familiar with the female voice to be frightened.

"Everyone!"

"We're having a serious combat meeting, not your kind of food tasting! You see, now our ship has arrived in the turian galaxy and is in a battlefield environment, so ...... Please all do it in moderation! ”

"That's it! Now, everybody is coming over for a meeting!! ”

Unable to stand the unscrupulous behavior of the guys, Shepard turned on the hologram in the middle of the conference room, and before he had time to take a closer look at the battle between the main fleet of the Turks and the Reapers, he yelled at the group of subordinates or friends who were surrounding Little Anne and were just frolicking.

Joking around during the break, she's definitely not going to care!

However, at this time, in the conference room and before the battle, it will definitely not work, she Shepard does not allow that kind of pompous style! Because, they are now the army of the Star Alliance, this Normandy II has returned to the Star Alliance's combat sequence, and she, Shepard herself, has also been reinstated, and is still the ghost of the Star Alliance's middle school and the Divine Fortress!

They are now regular troops, no longer mercenaries of Cerberus!

"Yes! Sir! ”

"Okay, Commander!"

"Yes! Excellency! ”

“……”

"Hah! Shepard, I'm sorry, didn't we think we hadn't arrived yet......"

"Alright, Commander, I'll shut up now......"

Miranda, Ashley, Liara and the others saw the enraged Commander Shepard, and when they saw the terrifying appearance of the other party, they could only answer in a curt, and quickly wiped their mouths and stood next to the hologram console in the middle of the conference room.

If they don't want to be beaten, then they'd better be honest now?

"Hmmm......"

(~﹃~)~

A meeting or something, it's definitely not shouting yourself!

So, Anne continued to swing her slender legs in ghost armor, munching on her snacks as she continued to sit on the big iron box, watching the meeting-loving adults gather a few steps away, watching the alien ships in the image fight with the Reaper monsters.

"...... Now"

"You have all seen it: the main fleet of the Turks, they are engaged in a bloody battle with the fleet of the Reapers, and the current situation is not optimistic!"

On the holographic screen detected by Normandy II, as Shepard manipulated and zoomed in, everyone could clearly see that in that large area of pitch-black vacuum universe, two large fleets were frantically attacking each other.

The general situation now is that the main fleet of almost five or six thousand Turks, those mixed fleets composed of many dreadnoughts, a large number of cruisers and frigates, and countless space fighters, are desperately attacking those Reaper monster ships that want to continue to land on the turquoise home planet of Paleven!

Like the turian fleet, those reapers, they are also large and small, although the number is a little smaller, only about a thousand, but they can continue to land on the turian home planet at the same time, they can also divide a part of it to snipe those turian fleets that come to intercept their landing on the planet, and even if the warships between the two sides are more than 1:6 disparity, they can still faintly occupy the upper hand?

"That's probably the way it is......"

"Based on the situation on both sides of the battlefield, we can now almost conclude that even if the Turkian fleet wins in the end, their best outcome will be a pyrrhic victory! Then, after the battle is over, for a long time, they will no longer have the extra power to fight back, and once the Reaper's ship returns, all that awaits them is destruction!! ”

After watching the battle scene unfolded for a moment with everyone in silence, Shepard quickly made his conclusions! She believed that these qualified fighters, they themselves could probably see it!

In fact, the Turks have done a good job!

I think that at the beginning, the native fleet of their earth, under the raid of more than a hundred Reaper warships, was fought miserably, and it was served by others in a few clicks, and they didn't even have a decent alarm...... If she hadn't happened to find little Annie's strong reinforcement at that time, the current Earth would only be worse than the home planet of this Turk, Palevingn!

Thinking about the cruel and vicious methods of those reapers, the production line that processed and made human cans, she felt a shudder! Presumably, at this moment, the Turks must be facing the same tragic situation as their earthlings, right?

“……”

"They, most likely, will not be the opponents of the Reaper......"

At this time, on the battlefield, the giant octopus ships of the Turkian warships and the Reapers, were fiercely fighting...... Blue pulses of energy and mass effect projectiles capable of attacking from a long distance are bombarding the shells of those Reapers, and they often need several turbulent warships to barely destroy or damage a Reaper's small and medium-sized ship!

And when those more attacks hit those Overlord-level Reaper ships, they could only explode in vain with a faint glow on the enemy's shield, or only leave a small ordinary wound on the opponent's shell......

But those reapers, the powerful red high-energy particle beams they shoot out from their mouth-like heads, especially those overlord-level reapers, they can easily harvest several turian frigates or cruisers with just one straf!

And even those dreadnoughts, those seemingly powerful shields can only withstand one shot from the enemy at most, once the shield is overloaded and offline, another red light hits, and their huge ships can only be broken in two from the parts hit by the enemy in the burst light......

But even so, even with heavy losses, the Turks still desperately rushed forward!

Those fleets, with their indomitable momentum, desperately rushed forward and bombarded the Reapers again and again with attack methods such as main guns, secondary guns or missiles! All kinds of missiles, torpedoes, and even nuclear weapons that had been emasculated by the "Fort Divine Convention" were fired at the enemy's body without any money, and in an instant, on the battlefield, the light of those missiles' tail flames was like the stars of the entire galaxy, densely enveloping the reapers!

In the same way, countless turian warplanes and automatons are frantically detaching from their respective motherships, and hundreds of millions of them are desperately slamming into the Reaper's line at full speed, bombarding behemoths with the various weapons they carry, or some warships simply crashing headlong into the wounds of the enemy ships......

Obviously, the Turks want to wipe out those reapers, even at any cost, no matter how much they sacrifice!

They would rather use their lives to intercept them than let their Reaper monsters continue to land on their home planet, Paleven...... Even if their home planet is already on fire now, even if the flames of war have already burned to their turian homeland!

They just want to use their own efforts to destroy a few more Reaper ships, and reduce the pressure on the defense of their fellow clans on the ground, even if it is at the cost of the great sacrifice of the fleet, they have no regrets!

“……”

"It's so tragic......"

Ashley sighed, at the beginning, their Star Alliance's fleet was too far worse than the other Turui people.....

The turbulent fleet, which claims to be the most powerful in the entire galactic universe, has fought like this..... and if their earthlings don't get help in time, what kind of miserable situation will it be? This kind of thing, she Ashley didn't dare to think about, because it was a little too terrible!

"Yes, even if they can win, there will definitely not be many fleets left in the end......"

Liara the Asari also lowered her eyelids a little gloomily.

Now that she saw the bravery and determination of the Turui people, she seemed to remember it too...... Now the Athena Nebula of their Asari is also being invaded by the Reapers...... Moreover, there will be no fewer reapers, who have invaded their homeland, than they have invaded the Turks!

Now, I don't know what has become of her home......

Whenever she thinks of her home planet, Secia, who doesn't know what the bad situation is at this moment, Liara can't help but tremble in her heart...... It is not known whether the 'crown jewel of the galaxy' has been violated by the Reapers...... Although she Liara had done her best to find the best way to fight the Reapers, she was now unable to help her fellow Reapers, who were resisting the Reapers.

She has done the best she can, and now, she really has more than enough heart and not enough power, speaking of which, she is just an ordinary little girl among the Asari people, what can she do now?

"They are all worthy of the name of the warriors......"

"Say, Shepard, how can we help them win?!"

Calming her flustered thoughts, Liara stared intently at Shepard, who was also not very good-looking.

She knew that after rescuing the home of the Turks, they would have to go to the second planet of the Panisha system on the Athena Nebula to rush to their Asari home for emergency assistance! Therefore, Liara is very urgent for the current operation to rescue the Turks!

The sooner you can help the Turkians, the sooner you can help them Asari themselves! These two points are actually not contradictory.

"Wait!"

"Shepard, do you want to run to the aid of the Turks with just our broken ship, this Normandy II and the more than a hundred Marines on it?"

Before Shepard could say anything, Miranda, who was not very happy to come here, hurriedly spoke:

"You have to be clear first: although you Shepard is indeed very powerful, you are also a great hero of the galaxy? But you have to understand the other thing, you are not God, you are just an ordinary human being who can be injured and die! Besides, you've died once! Tell me, how do you want us to help the Turks? ”

"If it's an aimless act of sending people to death, then I will refuse to go to the ground with you to fight!"

"As you can see, although there are only about a thousand Reaper warships in space now, on the ground, there are at least millions or even tens of millions of troops! And there are at least 60 billion Turui people on Palevin, and they are all fighting like this, so what's the use of us going up? ”

Miranda recounted her opinion with some resentment, hoping that this Shepard, who had been thinking about saving the world all day, could be a little more sober?

If she, Shepard, still takes it for granted that she wants to carry out infiltration operations like that with the same special operations methods as they used to do...... Then she Miranda will definitely not accompany her! Because, even if each of them could kill a hundred or a thousand Reapers, it would definitely be useless!

Therefore, this kind of thing, she must make it clear before the operation begins, it is not that she wants to fight against Shepard, but that she Miranda can go to save this galaxy desperately, but she will not fight and die in vain for the life and death of the Turi!

"Of course, I won't let me or you accompany me to die!"

"Actually, before coming here, I had already discussed it carefully with Congressman Turian and Admiral Anderson, so our battle arrangement is probably divided into two steps!"

After calming his partner Miranda, Shepard began to focus the holographic star map in the battle room on a smaller planet:

"The first step: to take down this vital satellite for the planet Palevin!"

"We must find the Turui Patriarch who is fighting on this moon, and explain to him the decision of the Citadel Council and the battle arrangements of our Star Federation and the Federation of Heroes, as long as he nods and agrees, we can help the Turui people consolidate and defend this largest moon, which is vital to the defense of Paleven!"

Instead of looking at the main fleet of Turks and Reaper ships fighting fiercely in the universe above Palerven's orbit, Shepard motioned for the others to look instead at the largest moon in Palerven's orbit! On the other side, there are no more invading reapers, but they are definitely not too few!

Because, from the violent fires flashing on this satellite, you can roughly see it.

"Yes, that satellite is important......"

"Shepard, the ...... It is the largest satellite on our turian home planet...... Its name is Menell......"

At this time, the young man who was weak and had not burped finally had a little strength, and walked to the console in the middle of the conference room with difficulty.

If James hadn't been quick to hold him up, he would have collapsed on the cold deck.

"That satellite is the most important military base for our Turks, and it is also the military fortress that defends Palevin...... As long as it's still there, our home planet will be able to hold ......"

Regarding Shepard's statement that he would save the satellite Meeel first, the Turkian archangel Garras raised his hands in agreement.

If they could really save this natural military satellite that had been transformed by their Turui people for countless years, with a large number of military facilities and a large network of underground mass effect field generators, their turian people's hopes of defeating these reapers, it would definitely increase greatly!

With the fortress weapons and planetary cannons above, they are sure to be able to reinforce the fleets fighting in space!

"Find that Turkian patriarch, and then what? How do we save this satellite and the home planet of the Turks, with our rifles, or with the main guns of the Normandy II? ”

"I don't think it's capable of dealing effective damage to the Reaper! The Normandy II was not designed to participate in space warfare, it was just a submersible frigate! ”

Seeing that it was another kind of raid and rescue mission, Miranda hugged her hands a little annoyed, and looked at Shepard who was hiding something with some sullenness, she didn't like this, especially this kind of meaningless battle plan that couldn't see the results!

"I know!"

"However, as long as the Turui patriarch nods his head and agrees to join us, then our Führer Anne will summon another powerful race from the Kpuru to fight here, and build their base here on this satellite of the Turkish!"

"So, Miranda, do you have any questions?"

Shepard had seen the bugs, though they did have a somewhat flattering appearance...... But if their strength is affirmed by that Galen general, then there will definitely be no big problem!

It's just that before that, they must first communicate with the patriarch of the Turks and get their consent, otherwise, if they casually let Little Annie summon those monster zergs out, it will be a huge trouble! Maybe you'll be attacked by the Turks, right?

"Okay......"

"Although I hate this kind of battle that is not for the earthlings, and I hate to save the Turks, but it sounds at least good, as long as I don't waste my strength in vain or die, I don't have any opinion!"

Nodding, Miranda took a step back, indicating that she had no problem now.

And now look at the others, it seems that she is the same as her Miranda, it is she who went to solve their confusion, those guys, like her Miranda, dare to question the commander's combat arrangements at this time.

"Step 2: Help the Turks defeat the Reapers in Space!"

"Of course, that's not our Normandy II, it's the battleships of the Federation of Heroes! It's just that, depending on the time, it may take them an hour to arrive? Therefore, we must complete our combat mission on the satellite Meeper within an hour, only then can we minimize the losses of the Turks and maximize the strength of the counterattack Reaper! ”

"Now, time is running out, does anyone have any problems?"

Seeing everyone's frowning from the previous frown to the relaxed appearance now, Shepard couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief while nodding secretly, and finally asked symbolically.

Now that the battle order has been issued and the mission has been explained, whoever has any more problems, she will not change her combat arrangement!

"No problem!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Shepard, this is a good idea!"

"That's it......"

“……”

Miranda, Liara, Ashley, and Cayden and the others all clamored loudly, just like Miranda had just asked, as long as it wasn't the kind of brainless mission to send them to death, then they didn't have any reason to refuse.

To save the Turks is to save their humanity, and to be able to control the battle in someone else's territory is always 10,000 times better than to happen in the galaxy of their own star union!

"The ......"

"Me! I! I! I have a question!! ”

ヾ(=^▽^=)ノ

Little Anne, who was still sitting on the box and eating snacks, suddenly raised her little greasy hand high, as if she were afraid that others would not see her.

“……”

"Say it!"

I don't know why, Shepard suddenly had a bad premonition? At this time, this little guy, the other party must be ready to be a demon again, right?

"The ......"

"Can people have lunch before they go? You see, it's still half an hour before lunch, and I asked the chef, Sergeant Gardner, to prepare for me the best food I've ever bought from the Citadel! ”

"Let's eat first, and then we go to war, you see, isn't that a good idea?"

ԅ(¯་།¯ԅ)

Since the Normandy II was resupplied and set sail from the Citadel, Anne's food has finally gotten better again! In fact, all the crew and soldiers of the entire Normandy II were also blessed by her, and they also became extremely rich! Because ah, the things that little Anne bought in the castle were directly piled up with all the large and small warehouses and spare cabins of the entire Normandy II!

Even if she had filled some of it in her space pocket, what was left would be enough for all the people of Normandy II to eat with their bellies open until they defeated the Reaper, or were defeated by the Reaper?

“……”

"Everyone go and get ready at once, and leave on time in ten minutes!"

With a cold face, Shepard said to the other team members who were either stunned or amused.

"As for Annie, you little one...... You've already eaten so much just now, you can't wait until you come back?! ”

After waving his hand to let the others hurry up and prepare, Shepard looked at the little kid who still had snacks stuffed in his mouth with a little headache, but shouted that he wanted to eat lunch first.

If you eat too much, how can you fight?

Although she is also a little hungry now, she will urgently replenish a little jelly-like energy ration on the landing craft later, it will not take half a minute to eat them, and they are not only nutritious, but also provide a lot of calories needed for intense combat and exercise!

"But!"

"A snack is a snack, a meal is a meal...... Aunt Melinda told me before that a child who only eats snacks and does not eat staple foods is not a good child! ”

₍₍٩(ᐛ)۶₎₎♪

The staple food must be eaten, three meals a day, and one time can not be missing!

Oh! Something seems wrong......

At most, breakfast or something, you can occasionally think about it in bed, and barely think that you have already eaten...... But lunch and dinner, that kind of important thing, that must be missing! If you can, it's best to eat it on time?

Also, desserts and snacks after meals must be missing!

Only when she is full of food can she have extra strength and spirit to save the world!

If she, Queen Anne, can't eat enough, then what is there to save the world? It's better to let this galaxy be destroyed by the Reaper, anyway, she doesn't know those crooked stars very well......

"The order has been given, and it must not be changed! Depart on time in 10 minutes! ”

"Or, Annie, you can wait for us to finish off the enemy and find the patriarch before teleporting down?"

Shepard knew that this little guy could use that kind of magic to easily travel between the planet and Normandy II, so if this little guy was too willful, then she would have to use this more compromised solution.

After all, on the Maynell satellite in the distance, in addition to the Reaper, there are also a large number of Turkian soldiers, and their positions do not seem to have been completely lost so far, so even if this little guy is missing, their own more than a hundred powerful warriors, those elite marines and N7 team members, will definitely be able to successfully complete the scheduled combat mission.

"Okay......"

"The man...... Just barely wait until the crooked star patriarch who found that trouble with you will come back! ”

(´•︵•`)

Sure enough, it's too much trouble for the crooked star or something...... is such a big person, and he even wants a group of them to find him? Wouldn't that stupid guy run out on his own?

But since the matter has been decided, then I can only go to the tattered satellite with these guys first, if I can move a little faster, maybe, maybe not too much delay, and still be able to catch up with the hot meal?

This kind of thing, probably only like this, if you don't follow, Annie is really but Miranda or this Shepard big sister accidentally died on that planet!

"That's good!"

"I'll go and prepare now, and you can come to the hangar in ten minutes, don't be late!"

Shepard breathed a sigh of relief when she finally managed to deal with this difficult little guy, and turned around and walked briskly towards her captain's room on the top floor, where she had to go back and put on her N7 armor, and then go to the arsenal next to the hangar to pick up weapons and equipment.

"Huh?"

"Hey! Galars, you lazy fellow, do you want to be lazy?! ”

s(。 ◕ˇεˇ◕。 )ゞ

Little Anne, who was about to go out, asked with some anger when she saw that a certain Turk was still lying in that seat.

They are obviously trying to save the head of their Turui people, and the other party actually stays here and doesn't want to leave, does he want to kill the patriarch, and then he will be on the throne, just like the kind of TV series of the earthlings?

“……”

Gueras really wanted to say out loud: 'Do you look like I am now, like I can go?' ’

However, he opened his mouth, and decided to stay here with a little more energy, focusing on the situation between Turui and the Reaper, rather than wasting his tongue and strength with the little human who had caused him to be like this and fought him upside down.

Now, he is struggling to speak, and he must not be able to argue with this little human girl with a sharp tongue.

"You're a cheeky lazy guy!!"

("ಡωಡ")

"Let's go, Tibbs, let's leave this big sloth here and let him cry!"

ヾ(⌒∇⌒*)See You♪

Anne jumped straight off the box, picked up her bear and ran out of the box...... She didn't need to prepare anything, so she had to go to the cafeteria and talk to the cook, Sergeant Gardner, and tell him to prepare her lunch a little later?

And, of course, a little bit more!

When she returned from the war, she Anne Führer would have eaten a little more to celebrate.

——————

Earth, a large newly built military base for humans in the Kpru, in this planetary fortress much larger than a battleship, Galen was standing in front of the window with Admiral Anderson, silently looking at the scenery of Earth and the magnificent military base outside the window.

Thanks to the help of the efficient SCV engineers of the Hero Federation, this city, which was destroyed by the Reaper and the Hero Federation's own artillery fire, has now begun to gradually restore its most basic city functions, and the surviving citizens can live a relatively normal life here again.

It's just that the original huge city has now become much more empty, and the supplies are temporarily a little tight, and the originally busy business has not been able to restart......

The military base they were in, a large area that had been demolished, had now been separated, and the troops of the Kprustar Sector had built a human military base with the smell of hideous steel, and it was located on the other side of the city, using the natural river to separate the military zone from the civilian city.

"General Galen......"

"You said before, the star spirit high-level you had to wait for, but now more than ten minutes have passed, why hasn't he come yet, will there be any surprises?"

After accompanying the other party to see the scenery inside and outside the base for a while, Anderson finally became a little impatient.

Because, now their military affairs are not easy!

Although before, the Reapers' many small-scale invasions of their Star Alliance territory were successfully caught and annihilated by the overwhelmingly dominant heroic Federation battleship detachments, and none of them escaped!

However, anyone can see this: those reapers, they must have discovered that something is wrong with their Earth humans and the Star Alliance territory! Moreover, they also have enough evidence now that the Reapers, while carrying out a comprehensive raid on the galactic race, are unhurriedly mobilizing a large force, seemingly intending to carry out a fierce attack on their humans and a large-scale harvest?

So, under the growing sense of crisis, Anderson is not willing to waste his precious time here! He prefers to go to the command center and stare at all kinds of information about the Reapers, about the resistance of various races, and analyze and discuss them secretly transmitted from the various colonies or various clan territories of the Star Alliance, rather than waiting here for someone who likes to be late.

Well, it seems that it is not a person, but a ...... Star Spirit?

Admiral Anderson didn't know what race the Star Spirit was, but that didn't prevent him from feeling the most basic antipathy to a guy who liked to be late! In Anderson's view, no matter how big or small, soldiers should complete all tasks on time and on time, and they can only be advanced, never delayed, this is the style of the army!

“……”

"Nope! The Spirits have always been punctual! ”

"So I think you, the Imam of the Dark Sanctuary, the spiritual leader of the Nerazim Star Spirit, the great Lord Zeratul, must have been here a long time ago, am I right?"

Galen felt that a certain star spirit, the other party must have arrived, although he did not find the other party......

Because, in their large human steel base, the space gate that connects this world with Mass Effect to their Kopru universe, and it is always open! Although, it was only a small one, barely enough for a siege tank to pass through, and it was only a small dimensional portal used to keep the two planes communicating personnel and information.

So, after waiting for a while, and finding that Zeratul didn't come on time as promised, Galen thought about it and suddenly said this.

“??”

Anderson turned to look at the empty reception room, it was not big, only about fifty square meters at most, except for a few sofas and a small low table in the middle, there were only some decorative houseplants that they had supported by the Star Alliance themselves, and there was absolutely no other place to hide people!

Therefore, he didn't understand, where is the so-called Zeratu in this living room that can be seen at a glance? This Galen, what the hell is the other party doing?

"Humph......"

"Admiral Galen of the power of Demacia...... Did you really find me just now...... Or is it just a matter of talking? ”

Admiral Anderson was puzzled and was about to say something, suddenly! In the stunned gaze of Anderson, the admiral of the Star Alliance, beside the two of them, a strange figure slowly appeared in a burst of black smoke?

"This, this ......"

Anderson was so shocked that he took two big steps back, and his face was full of surprise!

Because, he didn't understand, when and what means did this weird-looking guy stand less than half a meter beside him? What's even more terrifying is why he hasn't noticed any anomalies since the beginning?

Is that invisibility or a technological approach? However, no matter what it is, being able to stay by his side for so long, Anderson, who is still an elite Star Federation admiral and warrior, has not been discovered by him, is enough to show how terrible the other party is! If the other party was hostile, whether it was with a knife or a gun, it is estimated that he, the general, would have died countless times, right?

"You are ......"

Although they knew that the other party must be the Zeratul they had said they were waiting for, the patriarch of the Dark Sanctuary! Still, Anderson wanted to politely ask the weird-looking alien guy.

He noticed that the other party was wearing a very strange set of armor......

And there are two huge green gemstone pads on the shoulders, inlaid with some kind of weird energy or radiation? On the other party's gray-brown head, there is also a pair of eyes that shine green? The eyes will also glow, which is very rare in the Divine Citadel race!

Merely...... He couldn't tell what the other man's face looked like, because the guy covered half of his face with a rag like a cloak, revealing only the strange eyes and the abrupt weird head that made him uncomfortable.

"Haha!"

"Imam Zeratul, of course I found out about you a long time ago! In any case, I myself am very strong, fighting openly, I am not afraid of you! ”

Galen laughed out loud, well believing his own embarrassment.

Actually, he really said it casually just now, but how did he know that this old star spirit was really by their side and had been hiding for so long?

Therefore, his words are not nonsense, if both sides can't be invisible, he Galen will definitely not instigate the other party! After all, if one of his big moves goes down, if he doesn't become invisible, both Zeratul will have to lie down! However, if the other party keeps stealth and coldly gives him a knife, then he will have no choice......

This old star spirit can be said to be one of the people he is most reluctant to face! Fortunately, the other party is not his enemy, and he does not have to worry about being pierced by a sharp blade in his sleep.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Admiral Anderson of the Star Alliance, and he is currently the supreme commander of the earthlings!"

"You may not believe it, because their heads and brains were all blown up by the Reapers, right under my nose! Therefore, the chaotic earth group has no leader, and this guy is barely on top. ”

Patting Admiral Anderson, who was already familiar with him, on the shoulder, Galen introduced to the dark patriarch of Zeratul without notice.

"Hello!"

"Imam Zeratul, I'm Admiral Anderson of the Star Alliance, it's a pleasure to meet you!!"

After Galen introduced himself, Anderson quickly stretched out his right hand, as if intending to shake his hand.

“En Taro Adun!!”

However, instead of nesting in the human hand, Zeratul spoke a strange language that Anderson didn't understand at all, and the other party seemed to be speaking directly in his head?

This weird thing was really a little too terrifying, so scared that he almost didn't retract his hand, just froze in mid-air.

"Don't mind, Anderson, this is the etiquette of the Star Spirit!"

"Okay, now we're acquainted...... So, get down to business, this Zeratul Imam doesn't like that kind of rambling guy! ”

After continuing to step forward and pat Anderson on the shoulder, signaling the other party not to be polite, Galen pointed to the couches and said to Zeratul. It's just that the other party didn't move, and it seems that he doesn't want to talk slowly?

“……”

"Okay, I got it!"

"So, Zeratul, how's it going, how is your gold fleet ready now?"

Galen, who had been dealing with the Star Spirit for a long time, of course you knew what this Zeratul meant, so he shrugged his shoulders and began to get straight to the topic.

"Now, we've had more than a dozen small battles with those Reaper's spaceships, and if you don't come again, maybe we'll be beaten away by the enemy first!"

"There are too many of them, and we're worried!"

Others report good news but not bad news, Galen is a bad news but not good news, and directly say the worst thing, and only in this way will he not mislead the other party.

"Ready ...... ready"

Zeratul nodded faintly and said a few words quietly.

"That's good!"

Galen breathed a sigh of relief, the Golden Fleet of Star Spirits was coming, and the pressure on their humans would be much lighter.

"What about Führer Anne? Why didn't I see her? ”

After Zeratul finished speaking, he ignored Galen's or Anderson's reactions and asked directly. That little girl, he hadn't seen it for a long time, and now that he thought about it, he missed it!

Because, it was she who gave the Keprustar region a rare peace......

"She is now in contact with the Galactic Clans, and is preparing to summon the Zerg forces to fight the Reapers on the front lines! You also know that those bugs are not suitable to fight with our fleet, or is it better to let them fight on their own? ”

"Wise choice!"

Of course, Zeratu knew that the Zerg would have higher combat effectiveness if they fought independently, and whether it was the star spirit or the human, they would definitely not be able to cooperate with them.

"Now that our Führer is already dealing with the affairs of the Turui, your troops will be summoned when the Asari are ready, so you'd better prepare early!"

"The Templars are ready to go!"

"Excellent! So there's nothing going on today? What do you have to ask? ”

“……”

"Those reapers, how strong are they?"

"This ...... It's hard to say, you better go and see for yourself, over there, the Reaper battleship that we destroyed is still there and can't be handled, just waiting for you to come! ”

Galen pointed to the huge black shadow in the distance, which had crashed between the mountains, and the outline could be clearly seen here.

"Goodbye, then!"

A puff of black smoke distorted, and Zeratul was gone.

“……”

"This, that's it?!"

Anderson was a little incredulous,

"So what else do you want? Sit down for a cup of tea, a chat, and then a dinner by the way? ”

“……”

"Anderson, you'll get used to it, their star spirits are very efficient, and they don't like us humans!"

"Okay......"
