Shepard's Normandy II is slowly moving through space, and this ship is not stealthy and sneaking forward today, but flying in a majestic manner...... That's actually because it is accompanied by the mightiest warship in the Kprustar Sector, the great Führer!

However, unlike the tense atmosphere of the previous battle, the atmosphere in the two ships today seems to be different from the past, especially in the canteen of the Normandy II battleship, the joyful atmosphere is especially strong! Captain Planck of the Führer and some of the Federation officers were invited to gather here to celebrate the annual festival with their Führer.

It's a pity that ......

A little girl who occupies the best position in the middle of the large table spliced together in the cafeteria seems to be full of displeasure?

"Why are we having Christmas and so many things that look delicious?!"

(ー`´ー)

Look at the hearty food on the table, the roasted whole pig with the apple in its mouth, and the golden roast turkey...... Then she looked at the large group of important crew members of the Normandy II and the Führer, and the few crooked stars who had also come to join in the fun.

Anne likes this kind of thing like good food, but ...... Somehow giving a birthday to a god she didn't know or something, but she wasn't a little happy?

"Of course, because it was Jesus' birthday!"

Shepard said with some uncertainty that she wasn't strictly a Christian, but that didn't stop her from celebrating the holiday.

If she remembers correctly, Christmas could also be called Christmas, Jesus' birthday, or "Christ Mass"? The traditional festival of the European and American regions of the earth, which seems to have originated in Christianity, and the date is set on December 25 of the Gregorian calendar every year on the earth?

Anyway, it's probably the night of December 24th to the 25th of December every year, and it seems to be very similar to a large New Year's Eve festival in the East, but the time difference is just a month? As for the more specific, Shepard didn't want to care so much.

“……”

"Is that because of your religious beliefs? That is the birthday of the deity Jesus? ”

ヽ(゜Q。 )ノ？

Little Anne herself has no faith, and no god has eaten the bear-hearted leopard and dares to fool her into converting or something, because she has long seen through what a god is!

Whether it's the creator god Iluvita, or the god of thunder, the evil god, or the king of the gods, Odin, she has seen them all, but in fact, they are just like that, their strength or something, they are just so-so...... Those guys will, Anne will! Even some of them won't, and so will Anne herself!

Even, now that she has grabbed a world that is completely her own, she has never needed the faith of others, and likewise, she will not believe in others.

"Maybe......"

Shepard herself is not a religious person, let alone a sincere believer, how does she know so much?

Anyway, since it is possible to make all the comrades-in-arms and partners gather together for a dinner and embezzle public funds to increase the meal in the name of a certain god, it is excellent, and as for the rest, then there is no need to worry too much!

Over the years, this festival has passed every year, even if sometimes the war is busy, or when they are busy trying to save the galaxy like now, they will not forget this important day, whether it is her, or other Starlink soldiers, I am afraid they are used to it.

"Well, I'm sure I'm not going to let go of so much delicious food, even though I don't know that Jesus and I've never seen Him...... But anyway, I'm going to reluctantly give the guy I don't know a birthday! ”

After visiting so many worlds, Anne has never managed to meet the one called Jesus, maybe, if she has time, she can visit a world with a different party or something?

"Anne, don't you have some kind of faith in the Kprustar Sector?"

Miranda was a little puzzled, since the humans in the Kpru Star Region were also colonized from the Earth in another cosmic plane, then there should always be a similar similarity to them.

According to the theory of parallel time and space, there should be a high degree of consistency between the earth in different planes, such as questions, beliefs, languages, etc.! And judging from the contact between the two sides for so many days, the humans in that Hero Federation are actually similar to them earthlings, at most there are some differences in the grammar and accent of some languages.

"I'm a very powerful arcane archmage, so I don't believe in the kind of gods you say!"

"Some of them are not as good as me, and they can't beat me, so why should I believe in them? Let me tell you, there is a guy called the evil god who has been beaten by me and my little bear, and the hammer uncle named Thor is also afraid of me! It's just that it's as if his hammer is gone, blame poor ......"

"Also, the gods will also die, the one called Odin, the king of the gods, he seems to be dead!"

╮(～▽～)╭

Anne herself is not very rare in gods and things, and she will not look at them differently, because she has seen a lot of them, and they are actually the same thing.

"Annie, there really are gods in this world?!"

Liara craned her neck, leaned over to the little girl, and asked, a little curiously.

As a student who has almost all disciplines, she can say that she knows almost everything! And it is precisely because of that she is cautious about faith or something.

According to her own understanding, that is: anything that has not been seen, or has not been verified, she will not easily admit it! And this, of course, also includes the goddess that their Asari themselves worship!

And, due to the abundance of Element Zero in their Ashari home planet, Sythea, almost all of them have powerful, incredible abilities! That kind of magical ability, if it can be infinitely powerful, I'm afraid it is also the so-called god, right?

Therefore, she had even always thought that the goddess that their Asari worshipped was nothing more than a powerful individual who had appeared in history.

"Of course!"

"Look at me, those gods of thunder, evil gods, goddess of death or whatever, they can't compare to me! So, those gods are like me! Isn't it strange that living gods are sitting in front of you? Hurry up, you pray to me immediately, maybe as soon as people are in a good mood, they will directly fulfill your wishes. ”

o(´^｀)o

It can be said that Anne herself is undoubtedly a god, otherwise, what can be considered to be able to defeat the existence of evil gods and thunder gods in the world of the Bear Shield Bureau?

It's just that she never declared herself to be that weird thing...... She's Annie, Anne Hasta! At the same time, she is also the Fire Elemental, Her Majesty the Queen of the Fire Kingdom, and the Head of the Kprustar District, nothing more.

The nicknames she identifies with seem to be just two, and the rest of the mess is just what others press on her indiscriminately, so she won't admit it! Even if someone enshrined her idol in the temple, she would not admit it, let alone fulfill the wishes of those so-called believers.

She's just a little girl, she can't control herself, where can she have time to care about those guys who chant her name all day long and want to take advantage of it? If she can fulfill any wish by believing in a certain guy casually, she wants to find a guy to try to believe in herself!

"Haha! You're kidding, little one! ”

"You little ghost!"

"Funny ......"

"Don't think that if your magic is a little stronger, it's not an ability, it's still a god...... You just keep blowing, right? ”

In the next second, whether it was Shepard, Miranda, Ashley and Liara, they were all amused by the little guy's tsundere...... As a result, the atmosphere of this Christmas dinner finally became harmonious and pleasant.

"And what do you so-called arcane mages do on a daily basis? What do you believe in? ”

Liara is more curious about the daily life of a different system of professionals (abilities) like little Annie, and during this period of contact, she vaguely knows that the kind of magic that the other party is talking about seems to be really a systematic use of abilities? Anyway, it's definitely much more in-depth than their Asari's research and application of abilities.

Like themselves, with the advantage of their home planet Thesia, they are only a distance ahead of the other races in the galaxy in the use and strength of their abilities.

"Hmm......"

"It doesn't seem to be doing anything, that is, learning spells, studying the reality of the world and various rules?"

(๑‾ꇴ‾๑)

Other mages are probably like that, but Anne's own words, that is, they know to play all the time, and then come across interesting things, so they will learn and collect them by the way?

"I see, it's a different discipline from science and technology!"

"Possibly, that so-called magic is nothing more than a different direction for exploring the world on the basis of abilities? For example, materialism and idealism are two different aspects? ”

The more she talked about Liara, the more excited she became, and she vaguely felt that their Asari abilities could also develop in a different direction from science and technology.

"Not really!"

(｡ ◕ˇεˇ◕｡ )

"You two guys ......"

"Don't talk about it, that's the end of this matter, now let's start eating!"

Just as the two Lori, one big and one small, were about to continue the discussion on magic, abilities, or gods, Shepard quickly raised his hand and motioned for the two of them to end the topic they didn't understand as soon as possible, and quickly start today's topic, that is, - eating a big meal!!

"Eat! Dine! ”

"Aha! I've been waiting for this sentence for a long time! ”

"Hey! Garrus, you actually got something with me and Kaiden, have you forgotten the lesson from last time?! ”

"Huh?"

"Then I'm just watching you eat and drink here today, and I can only watch myself?"

"No way, we're just a Turk here......"

"Hahaha!"

"Garas, can you use a multipurpose tool to check if you can eat it before you do it?"

"Thank you......"

Soon, a group of Normandy II and Führer crews, marines, and senior officers began to feast on them...... However, a certain Turui person can only look at other people's large pieces of Duoying, while busily searching for the name of each food in the universal tool in his left hand, such as:

'Who knows, if the turkey turkey turreans can eat it?' Wait online, it's in a hurry! 'Or something?

“！！”

"This turkey...... Who took the test? ”

(｡ •ˇ‸ˇ•｡ )

Anne snatched a large turkey leg, however, she had just slipped the roasted golden repulsion into her little mouth and took a bite......

"How's it going, isn't it delicious?"

Shepard looked at this little guy who likes delicious food with some expectation, wanting to be recognized by the other party! Because, the turkey was cooked by herself, and it was full of color and aroma, although she had not tasted it herself, but she was very confident in her cooking skills!

So, she's ready to take on the words of praise from this little guy, and she's sure she won't be too proud.

“……”

"It looks good and smells good...... But why doesn't it taste at all? Who roasted this turkey and didn't even remember to put salt? That bad guy is either stupid or lazy, so hateful! ”

(ノω<。 I dislike it☆. ~

Pouting, Anne threw the big chicken leg back on the plate! I didn't put anything in salt, and I wanted to trick her into eating it?

"Hahaha......"

Miranda burst out laughing out loud, ignoring the frosty face of their Shepard Chief.

Because, of course, she knew who made that turkey!

"Miranda ......"

"Haha! You don't have to worry about me, I'll laugh for a while......"

“……”

——————

The two battleships had only been with them for one night, and by the time the next morning......

The mighty 'Führer' magic battleship, which nominally belonged to Little Anne, the one that first came to prominence in the great battle in the orbit of the planet Palaven the Turks, and was the envy of the Turks and the crew of the Normandy II, is now completely gone.

The captain, Planck, nicknamed the Bad Old Man and the Bad Drunkard, knew that there was a certain Earth woman who had been thinking about his precious ship, so he entrusted the Astral Spirits to him, and asked him to shoehorn something he had consigned into the cargo hold of the Normandy II in a transport!

Then, he drove his 'Führer' for the first time and completely disappeared! When leaving, he also sent a message, and repeatedly claimed that he was going out to fight guerrillas against the Reapers, so as to distract those powerful enemies and relieve the pressure on the various clans of the Citadel and the main fleet of the Federation?

Anyway, that's what the guy said, and I don't know if it's true or not......

Therefore, the place called the Athena Nebula of the Asari people, he Captain Planck will not go for the time being, and he will also leave all the matters related to the liberation of the Panisha system and the planet Sesia to the star spirits, so there is no need for his Uncle Planck's 'Führer' to dispatch at all!

He thought that his Uncle Planck's battleship might be more valuable if it went to fight guerrillas and harass the reapers?

In short, in order to prevent anyone from worrying about his precious battleship again, that rotten drunkard named Planck will probably not let his 'Führer' appear in front of some evil woman of Earth named Shepard until the Reaper is completely defeated......

Judging from the other party's message, that's probably what it means.

This incident made a certain 'evil woman' Shepard, who has the aura of the protagonist and can be reborn even if she dies......

Therefore, she could only continue to pilot her Normandy II, which was nothing but stealth, and continued to sneak through the star fields controlled and occupied by several Reapers, and with the help of those Mass Effect repeaters, she quietly sneaked into the Panisha system of the Athena Nebula.

This is the birthplace of the Asari civilization and the home galaxy, and it is also their most important place, the cradle that they cannot part with no matter what!

Especially the second planet in the second orbit within the galaxy - Thessia!

It is a living planet very similar to the earth, about 0.94 astronomical units (AU) from the stars in the Panisha galaxy, with an orbital period of about 330 earth days, an orbital eccentricity of 1.025, a rotation period of 27~28 earth hours, a standard atmospheric pressure of 0.96 earth standard atmosphere, an average surface temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, and the planet's mass and surface gravity are extremely similar to the earth!

Therefore, it can be explained from the data: the reason why this home planet of the Asari people was able to give birth to the most developed and advanced civilization in the current Mass Effect world is definitely not accidental, it is actually because all its conditions are extremely similar to the earth! And this is the reason why the Asari people are so similar to the humans of Earth in every way!

Of course, when the Asari developed civilization and occupied the Sacred Castle, the Earth was still in the age of obscurantist wooden sailing ships! Therefore, it can also be said that the reason why the earth can give birth to human beings is actually because all the conditions and environments are extremely similar to the mother planet of the Asari people, Secia?

However......

Now, the political and cultural center of the largest economy in the galaxy, the rich planet with extremely rich zero element reserves, the civilization capital of the Asari people, the envy of the galaxy, even if the smugglers want to get a glimpse of the planet, is in chaos at this time!

In the cosmic space of the Panisha System, between the Mass Effect repeater and the orbit of Thesia, especially in the open area between the second and third orbits of Thesia, the wreckage and debris of those floating warships were everywhere......

Most of them, with the exception of a few wrecks that were clearly Reaper's warships, were fragments of the beautiful blue-and-white spaceship characteristic of the Asari...... They floated silently in their current orbits, forming areas of debris that resembled a belt of asteroids.

In the middle of space, there is silence.......

The battle here was settled before the arrival of the Normandy II, and there was no more scene of the Reaper battleship and the Asari fleet.

Whether they want to admit it or not, all the Normandy II crew and warriors who saw this scene knew a regrettable fact, and that was that the fleet of the Asari had failed!

At this time, the final destination of Normandy II, the planet of Sethia, fell directly into the same ending as the Turkians: the entire planet was shrouded in the fire, explosions and smoke of the battle!

Detecting the past from space with optical instruments, on the land of the planet, there are traces of the hideous war that have been destroyed by the invasion of the Reapers...... Even, the situation of the Asari is much worse than that of the Turks before!

It is clear that both the Asari fleet and their home planet have fallen under the powerful onslaught of the Reapers......

The Asari, whose military strength was not as strong as the Turui people, was not able to wait for the rescue of the Normandy II to arrive, and they were annihilated by the Reapers, and successfully landed at least hundreds of Reaper-sized warships on the surface of the planet Thesia!

Although I don't know how long it has been since the Reapers' landed in Sesia, anyone can see that the home planet of the Asari people will not be better off than the earthlings who were raided by the Reapers!

However, one thing is certain now, the Asari people on the current planet of Thesia, they have not given up their resistance, which can be seen from the endless fires and shining explosions on the land above: at this moment, the battle on the planet is at its fiercest, and Normandy II is not too late?

If a powerful reinforcement could be put in in time, perhaps, those Asari, those Asari who were originally high above and overlooked all the races in the entire galaxy, might be able to barely save it? However, even if they are successfully rescued, there is definitely no way to undo the huge damage that the war has caused now.

"Nope! How did Thesia become like this......"

Shepard...... We—Are we late? Please, hurry up and help us ......"

At this time, Liara, the big loli of the Asari people, was sobbing tears in her eyes, and her hands were tightly covering her own mouth at the same time, and her wide eyes were full of horror as she looked at which group of planets on the wall were being captured by Normandy II's optical equipment and kept playing:

On the planet Thesia, there are fierce battles everywhere at this time!

Fires, explosions, mutilated corpses of the Asari, broken walls of buildings, and of course, the reaper ships that landed on the ground and fired secondary artillery from time to time to bombard buildings, or bombarded the defending Ashari strongholds......

Fire, smoke, intertwined soldiers, war machines, flying bullets and shells, and all sorts of abilities are the themes of this planet!

There, the planet Thesia, the home planet of Asari, which was originally revered as the 'jewel in the crown of the galaxy', 'the pinnacle of democracy', and the 'heartbeat of galactic love', has long since lost its original prosperous, beautiful and artistic scene...... Instead, the devastation of the war and the reaper monsters that are slaughtering and conquering the Asari!

Judging from the extent of the spread of the fire on the planet, I am afraid that the battle has entered the most intense stage, and if it is any longer, I am afraid that there will be no hope of salvation......

"It's not too late!"

"Don't worry, Liara! We'll log in in less than 20 minutes! Believe me, we're going to succeed in saving your planet this time, just like Menel the Turkish! ”

"We have reinforcements, supposedly more powerful than the Zerg!!"

Shepard took two steps forward with some pity, gently hugged Liara, who seemed a little out of control, and then turned his head to look at the black-haired female player on the other side:

"Ashley, how is it now, are we finished loading our cargo?!"

This time, whether they can successfully rescue the Sasia home planet of the Asari, or whether they can destroy the reapers, or the warships that have all landed on the planet, will depend on the important 'cargo' that Planck has thrown on their ship!

In fact, Shepard felt that if the 'Führer' could follow them to rescue Secia, I am afraid their chances of victory would be a little higher!

It's a pity that since she accidentally leaked her mouth yesterday and wanted to fool Anne's little guy to let her be the captain of that magic warship with extremely amazing combat power, that rotten drunkard old man Planck has never given her a good face again! So, after the other party transported that thing in a hurry, he directly disappeared without a shadow, and he didn't know where he ran now, let alone whether the other party was really engaged in harassing guerrilla warfare with the reapers?

"No problem, now the cargo is loaded!"

"But the commander ...... I can't guarantee that it won't be shot down by the enemy during the landing? So, Shepard, even if you have an opinion, I'll stick to what I just said: we'd better pick a suburb and land secretly in a place where we haven't been attacked by the Reapers? ”

"That landing spot you just instructed, I don't think that's a good idea!!"

Transporting a cargo that wasn't too big to reach the surface of the planet Thesia wasn't really a big deal.

But......

With ground and air superiority now in the hands of the Reapers, if they swaggered and rushed directly into that important city of the Asari, who knows if the Reapers would find out and bombard them directly with a few laser beams?

Although the main guns of their warships are currently unusable due to landing, neither the spider war machines nor the secondary guns of those Reaper warships are densely packed with secondary guns, which they can afford to provoke now.

She would never believe the other party's beam energy weapon, the kind of high-power secondary cannon that has an extremely long range even in the atmosphere, and will not be able to hit the UT-47 pull-down shuttle landing craft that can land at a speed of only a few hundred yards per hour at most! In any case, as a veteran, Ashley would never be left to chance like those recruits.

Because, whoever dares to think like that, they are all dead!

And the reason why she can still survive until now is not only because of luck or skillful combat skills, she also has a clear mind and a careful combat attitude that never easily wades into danger!

“……”

"Time is running out right now, in order for reinforcements to arrive quickly, and to keep some of the information in the Asari building we want to get our hands on, we have to fly directly to our destination!"

"Of course, Ashley, you're right!"

"We can't come nonsense! However, I would like to ...... Should we fly into the city from low altitude on the outskirts and make full use of the obscurations of those buildings to hide from the enemy's sight and those high-powered anti-aircraft weapons? ”

Shepard, of course, also knew the seriousness of what Ashley said, so she came up with a more compromise plan. The landing destination will certainly not change, however, she can slightly make the infiltration a little more conservative.

"Well, you have the final say, Your Excellency, Commander!"

shrugged his shoulders, since the other party didn't plan to rush down directly to find death, then Ashley didn't have a reason to refuse to carry out the mission.

"However, in order to narrow down the target and avoid being discovered by the enemy, this time we only need to send a UT-47 drop-down shuttle landing craft, and we don't need too many personnel to log in to the operation!"

Since the current home planet of the Asari is not like the Menel of the Turi, compared to the time when the Turui were fighting with the Reapers, there was still a relatively complete organization and base against those Reapers, and now here on this planet of Thasia, the fate of the Asari is much more miserable!

It can be clearly seen from the many sets of ground situations that have just been broadcast: not only are their Asaris the fleet finished, but I am afraid that even the organized large-scale resistance on the ground has lost its effective resistance and organization under the crazy attack of the Reapers!

They're almost all fighting on their own!

Whether it's the streets of the city, or the military defenses, it's all a mess now, not like the Turkish Menel, with countless large and small military bases and large defenses and armies fighting the Reaper in formation, while still ensuring that their Normandy II marines can land from the air in relative safety?

Therefore, in such a bad situation, when the conditions do not allow, the necessary downsizing of the team is a good choice!

"My Goddess......"

"Big deal, Shepard! I found that I couldn't reach the matriarchs on the ground of Thesia, and I sent out multiple sets of signals, but I didn't get any reply! ”

At this moment, Liara suddenly exclaimed again, causing Shepard, who was about to arrange for the personnel who would follow him to the planet, had to turn his head again.

The mantra of the Asari people is 'my goddess', which is actually because of their own belief in the goddess Athame, which is probably similar to the god of the Star Alliance humans, which is caused by cultural legacies, that is, it is just a mantra, and does not represent the specific beliefs of Athame.

At this time, Liara exclaimed, which proved that she was out of proportion now.

"Can't get in touch? Was the communication interrupted by the Reaper? ”

Shepard wasn't too surprised by the high connection to the ground. After all, this trick of the Reapers is actually quite old-fashioned.

Every time the Reapers, or the former Collectors, go to a galaxy or a planet, they always like to cut off communications until they leave or destroy the planet completely!

"Nope! No! ”

"I probably get it...... Those reapers, they must have destroyed the infrastructure of communications on our planet Thesia that is the backbone of the Asari Society's e-democracy! It must be like that, that's right! ”

"Shepard, we have to hurry, or it's going to be bad!"

Even the backbone net was successfully found and destroyed by the Reapers, so you can imagine the terrible situation of the Asari people on the ground now! I'm afraid that there will be nothing wrong with those images just now, they are indeed all in a state of fighting on their own!

If they don't hurry up, maybe the will of the Asari on the planet will soon be completely broken by the Reaper, and then it will be all night......

Because, the backbone network of their Asari, that highly automated facility, is not only a means of communication, but also related to their supply of energy, water and food, once destroyed by the enemy, it is not far from the complete chaos of the entire planet.

"We'll leave in ten minutes, and now I'll arrange for someone to follow us right away!"

Nodding, Shepard didn't say anything more, and directly turned his head to look at the partners who had been ready for a long time, planning to arrange for the combat team members who followed her to forcibly land on the planet Sesia this time!

Originally, before they gathered here at the hangar, they thought that the fleet of the Asari was almost the same as the Turkians, and they were fighting hard and effectively against the invasion of the Reapers! But did you ever think that the other party was embarrassed to the current situation?

The Asari people, who are known as the second strongest military strength in the galaxy, have become like this, and the other races are even more unimaginable!

"Hey!"

"Are we going to play that game of finding someone else's patriarch again? I don't want to go there, it's not fun at all!! ”

°.°•(((٩(≧□≦)۶)))•°.°

Before, when she went to Menel, the tattered planet of the Turks, looking for the patriarch called something, Anne was already very annoyed, and she had been looking for a long time to find it!

But now it's good to come to the Asari people, and even have to look for it again? If that's the case, then she, Führer Anne, simply won't go down, she doesn't like to play that kind of game of hiding cats now, it's really not fun at all!

She's not a kid anymore, so she doesn't like to play the kind of game of hide and seek to find people!

（…… ）

(Little master, but you are obviously a child...... Yes!!

！！ Σ(｀㉨′*ノ)ノ

- However, before Tibbs could finish his words, he had just been beaten on trumped-up charges when he was smashed down by a small white fist...... ）

"The patriarch of our Ashari doesn't have to look for ...... like the Turks"

"For we have three phases of the Asari, which are the maiden, the woman, and the matriarch...... As long as you reach the age, you are all patriarchs! So...... As long as we can reach the ground, we shouldn't be looking for a long time like the Turks, our patriarchs are too many......"

"When the time comes, we only need to report to call reinforcements, and we don't need to ask for the consent of a certain person!"

Yes, the government of the Asari people is different from other races, and the Asari government, that is, the Asari Republic, they practice 'information democratization', relying on the backbone network facilities that were destroyed by the Reapers, which just made her nervous!

In fact, in the Republic of the Asari, there are no politicians, officials, or inefficient electoral campaigns other than the ambassadors and councillors of the Citadel! They have only one free-to-operate, wide-ranging law enforcement agency, and all Asari citizens are free to participate or not to participate? And the channel for their participation is to rely on that backbone network, relying on that network-like Internet infrastructure to implement the 'information democratization' forum!

In that forum or networking tool, political debates take place almost every day, whether in official chat rooms or in private chat rooms moderated by virtual intelligence, and all political initiatives are referendum and very efficient...... In the debate, the Asari were more inclined to trust the views of the matriarchs present, that is, the wise women with more than a thousand years of experience.

Those older Asari, they are all patriarchs!

At the same time, it is also the person they need to find after landing on the planet this time! However, it is only necessary to find some people to explain their intentions, as Liara said, and there is no need to find someone with full authority like the Turks, so their task is also much easier in difficulty.

"That's ......"

╭(⊙o⊙)╮

"That...... Are you a patriarch then? If so, just ask you to decide if you want to, so you don't need to talk to someone else! ”

(๑乛◡乛๑)

After blinking and feeling that she had beaten enough of some badass bear who dared to disobey her master, Anne jumped off the large cargo box at once, and then looked up and down at the blue-skinned, hairless, and somewhat Draenei-looking Liarra, and looked at it for a long time before she asked.

Since there is a ready-made Asari here, and since there are so many patriarchs on the other side, the great Führer Anne has come up with a very good idea: everything can be decided by this Liara, so that there is no need to run down to find someone else!

"Ahh

"No, I'm only over 100 years old now, and I'm still a child......"

Liara hurriedly waved her hand and explained with a green face.

Yes, she is only over 100 years old now, and she has never been a girl! If you strictly count it, she Liara should indeed be the kind of elementary school student who is an earthling?

"Huh?!"

=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞(●⁰ꈊ⁰●|||)

"You're a child? Don't try to lie to me!! ”

"Look at you like this, you're a big person, you don't look shorter than Shepard and Sister Miranda, how can you be a child?!"

(ꐦಠꈊಠ)

Or is Little Bear right just now, she, Führer Anne, is a child herself!

This crooked star in front of Liara or something, she is almost taller than both of herself, how can she still be a child, is she trying to bully herself for being less knowledgeable?

（…… ）

(‧̣̥̇꒪່㉨꒪່)

(Tiebs really wanted to say it again: since you admit that you are a child, why did you just hit the little one...... ）

(๑Ő㉨Ő๑)

(It's just that, after thinking about it seriously, Uncle Tibbs Bear still gave up the idea of protesting, because, if you really do that, it will definitely continue to suffer a lot of fists on its body later!) Little Master Anne is right at all times, right or wrong, right or wrong...... ）

“……”

"But I'm really underage......"

Liara really felt a little aggrieved about this......

She lived for more than a hundred years, and she was really just a child, which is a fact that you can't be wrong! Her own age, how could she not know? Although she had already had some indescribable things with Shepard before, before the next generation of the two of them was born, she would not be a woman, but a girl!

Generally speaking, the Ashali reach the women's stage at least between 350 and 380 years old.

"Alright, Annie, Liara, we'll talk about the rest of the business!"

"Now let's start the roll call! Due to the limited space on the landing craft, I only need four team members to go with me to Sescia! Let me think about it first......"

Time was pressing, and Shepard, who wanted to rescue the mother planet of the Asari people as soon as possible, to avoid the heavy losses of the other party and affect the plan, directly interrupted the inconsequential conversation between the two, and planned to look at the elite marines and 'N7' who were standing in the hangar with their heads held high, planning to arrange personnel and prepare to set off as soon as possible!

Because of the reason for carrying that 'cargo', the UT-47 pull-down shuttle landing craft numbered ST01 must be relatively crowded, except for the driver, they can only take five people at most, just enough for a team, no more, no less!

Merely......

Who to choose is a question!

Shepard and Liara are definitely going! Then, there is little Annie, who likes to mischievous, but is very powerful, and it must be indispensable!

And the last two places left, she has to think carefully......

"It's easy to name me! Let me choose!! ”

₍₍٩(ᐛ)۶₎₎♪

Choosing people to go on missions or something, Anne herself is very good at it! So, she rushed directly and excitedly squeezed in front of Shepard, like a little adult, looking at the players who were crying and laughing.

"The ......"

"Men stand on the left, women on the right, all the women go! That's it, look, it's perfect, right? ”

☄o(^▽^)o☄

Anne had just counted, herself, Big Sister Shepard, Big Sister Miranda, and that Big Sister Ashley, plus a crooked star who was definitely going to go, that Liara who was over a hundred years old and had the face to pretend to be a big girl, all five places were all available, where did you need to choose slowly?

It's a simple thing, she's not like that Shepard, who grinds and ponders for a long time!

"Huh?"

"No, one, two, three, four...... How are there only four of us?! ”

Σ(°△°|||) ︴

"That's called Liara little brat, aren't you a woman, why don't you stand up together?!"

(｡ •ˇ‸ˇ•｡ )

At this time, Anne suddenly exclaimed, no wonder she counted and saw one missing, it turned out to be the hundred-year-old crooked star 'little bart' standing in place, not following over? Doesn't that guy want to go to the rescue of their own planet of the Asari?!

“……”

"Because I'm not a woman......"

Liara was a little aggrieved, the other party only said that the woman stood on the left, but did not say that she should stand on the left, of course she would not stand over.

"Huh?!"

╰(*°▽°*)？！

"Could it be...... You, you, you're a man?!! ”

Σ(っ°Д°; )っ！！

Little Annie, who gasped, began to scan the other person's body with suspicion and horror:

This is obviously more than a hundred years old, and he dares to be more shameless than her Queen Anne herself, and she dares to pretend to be a child alien...... Whether it is the other party's face, the two lumps on the chest, or the big round ass, it seems that they are the same as Shepard's big sisters......

The other party is obviously a woman!!

Sure enough, this kind of crooked star is a bad thing, just now I fooled myself and wanted to pretend to be a child, and now I want to deceive myself and want to pretend to be a man? She has been to so many worlds and seen all kinds of weird millet millet in all kinds of worlds, but none of them look the same as each other!

"That's because ......"

"We Asari are genderless...... There is also no such concept of gender difference...... Even I myself can't be counted strictly as a woman......"

Liara also knew that her statement might sound incredible, but it was true!

Although they have maternal instincts, and all of them can choose to have their own offspring, the natural difference between them and humans or other castel races is that they can mate with any sex of any race, such as Liara and Shepard?

Therefore, she Liara cannot be considered a woman, nor can she be counted as a man, and they Asari have no concept of gender at all, but other gendered bisexual races forcibly classify them as women.

“……”

o((⊙﹏⊙))o.

"I see, it turns out that you Asari are a bunch of monsters!!"

o(*^▽^*)┛❤

After struggling for a while, Anne quickly got her point of view! You know, even those animals, although their meat is just as delicious, but they are all male and female, definitely not the same as this kind of Asari!

"You two guys, give me moderation, there's no need to discuss this issue!"

"So, as Anne said just now, Miranda, and Ashley, you hurry up and get ready, we'll leave later! Others are on standby on the ship, ready to support at any time! ”

With some headaches, Shepard reached out to interrupt the debate that the two girls were about to have, and directly gave her latest order.

"Yes, sir!"

"Yes! Sir! ”

"Understood!"

"Yes!!"

While everyone couldn't help laughing, they also loudly stood up and responded, saying that they had no objection to this arrangement.

'Oh ......'

'Report, report!!' ’

'Commander Shepard, and Lady Liara, I think you'd better take a look at this first?' Look at it, I think I've found something amazing! ’

'Seriously, I wish I had seen it wrong......'

In this weapons room at the bottom of Normandy II, when Shepard and others who were preparing for the landing and inspecting their equipment were busy, while the others were silently watching the situation of the ground battle on the ground of Thesia played on the holographic projector on the wall...... The helmsman clown, who was manipulating the ship in the bridge, suddenly exclaimed in the channel, and at the same time quickly asked EDI to play another set of images from the universe next to the one that everyone was watching.

It was a large pile of space junk floating silently, and it could be seen from the shimmers of energy that flickered from time to time and the bodies of the fallen Asari floating on it: it didn't seem to be too long before the end of the battle in space? This kind of thing can be seen from the energy and material light emanating from the hull of the ruined battleship.

Of course, that's not what the clown needs to see!

As the picture zoomed in, at last, whether it was Shepard, Liara, Ashley, Miranda, or Anne, who was bored and playing with her bear, they all clearly saw the wreckage of the huge 'cross' shuttle battleship that had been drawn closer by the helmsman clown and depicted with virtual red lines......

"That's ......"

Miranda felt as if she had seen the wreckage of the spaceship somewhere, but for a moment, she couldn't really remember.

Anyway, it's really a little familiar.

"That's right, it looks familiar......"

Ashley stopped preparing her weapon, squinted her eyes and looked closer for a moment, then shook her head helplessly. The other party had been blown into that empty shell by the Reaper, and she really didn't recognize it.

"Hmm...... Hmmm......"

"I don't know! Haven't seen it!! ”

(๑˘˘๑)

Anne leaned over as well, nodded and shook her head as if she were a little adult, and then expressed her opinion as well. A pile of broken copper and iron, it's strange that she's seen it!

In fact, she wouldn't recognize even if she hadn't been blown up like that by the Reapers, and displayed in front of her in a dignified manner.

"That's the Destiny Transcendent!!"

"That's the Destiny Transcendent!!"

However, Shepard and Liara apparently understood in an instant why the clown had such a strange tone, so they exclaimed in unison!

The two of them, Shepard, as the ghost of the Divine Citadel, of course, has seen the Destiny Transcendent many times, and more than two years ago, when Saren raided the Divine Citadel, she could still see its 'heroic appearance' that was almost shot down by the Overlord Reaper, of course, it is a deep memory!

And Liara, as an Asari, of course would not fail to recognize the pride of their Asari!

It's just that now the Destiny Transcendent seems to have become a thing of the past...... There is nothing left but the 'cross' type wreckage floating in space.

"How can this be ......"

Liara couldn't accept the fact in front of her, and a series of blows made her almost collapse......

She didn't expect that even the most powerful battleship like the Destiny Transcendent would become the miserable appearance in front of her?

In that case, aren't the tens of thousands of Asari crew members on the Destiny Transcendent already ......

"Alas! Looks like we're going to be in a hurry! ”

"Miranda, Ashley, and little Anne, check your gear one last time, and we're going to land in Sercia right now!"

Originally, Shepard thought that the Ashari fleet would at best be defeated and suffer heavy losses and escape...... But where did she think that now that even the Destiny Transcendent had fallen here, wouldn't that mean that the loss of their Asari people was far more serious than she had imagined?

So, in her frustration, she waved her hand and walked towards the cockpit of the landing craft with hatred.

She was now going to pilot the landing craft herself, land on the planet of Thasia as quickly and safely as possible, and use that cargo in their cabin to save the Asari before they completely collapsed!

"Gone! Tibbs! ”

After hanging the bear that she had beaten a few times around her waist, Anne immediately staggered to the cabin of the landing craft.

“……”

I don't know why, Ashley always felt that the configuration of the team was not very good this time......

Because, whether it's herself or Shepard, Liara and Miranda, they're all Abilities...... The only output seems to be Annie's little brat?

"Ashley, hurry up!!"

Ahead, Shepard in the cockpit was already urging.

"Yes, sir!!"
