Da Da!!

'Uh-ah......'

Dada! Dadada!!

'Wow~Howl~! ’

Precise and merciless bullets shattered the Reaper soldiers and scattered corpse golems who tried to shoot or rush over, causing them to pounce on the dry sand of Mars one by one, turning back into a corpse that could never move.

"Safe on the left, no reaper found!"

"Safe on the right, all the enemy killed! No Reaper monsters were found, and no humans were found! ”

"Received ......"

"Keep going!!"

In the dim sky of Mars and the harsh environment full of smoke, dust, sand, and lightning, Shepard, Ashley, and Miranda were alternating cover, killing the remnants of the Reaper soldiers and the crazy corpse golems, and finally entering the passage gate of the Martian excavation experimental base.

"Whew! I still don't understand! ”

Shepard...... Shouldn't we go to the Citadel first and make representations and joint matters to the Citadel Council? But now, why waste time here at this excavation base on Mars in the first place, is that really a good idea? ”

Ashley, who was marked with the S1 mark of the Star Alliance on the right chest of the black armor, entered a seemingly empty Mars base entrance airtight room with Shepard and Miranda, and after entering the isolation room of this base, she began to close the hatch and finished ventilating, and she took off her helmet and asked Shepard again with some incomprehension.

Coming to this Mars base, Shepard did not inform them in advance, but only began to select the landing team members when they were about to start landing on Mars, and let her Ashley participate in it.

She was very puzzled by this......

Therefore, after holding back for a while, and waiting until it was temporarily safe now, she couldn't help but ask.

Now that the situation is urgent, it stands to reason that Shepard should rush to the Citadel space station as soon as possible, contact the council as soon as possible, and advocate and initiate the unity of all races against the Reaper! But now, the other party just came to the barren land of Mars, and ran to the base of this archaeological excavation site, and went to fight with the reaper soldiers stranded here for what was the purpose?

She had seen it just now, and they didn't see any living people here, except for a few scattered Reaper monster soldiers and those corpse golems wandering around!

There aren't any living archaeologists or base dwellers here!

Clearly, the Reapers have already attacked this Martian here! Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Mars, which was supposed to have had a lot of colony workers and inhabitants, not to have any answers to their Normandy-2 safe channel calls at all, and it would be impossible for them to come to the planet without seeing any other humans except the Reaper monsters......

"There's no one here! We're wasting our time here! ”

In Ashley's opinion, even if she wants to clean up the remaining enemies on Mars, it should be something that the troops of the Star Federation or the Hero Federation need to do, not their team with a special mission!

They shouldn't have been curious to come here, and they shouldn't have landed on this base.

Perhaps, the people here have evacuated in advance when they see that the situation is not good, or maybe it is the Reapers who suddenly attacked this place and abducted or exterminated all the people? But it is precisely because of this that Ashley feels that they are wasting time to investigate here at this Mars base, which is not a matter of much meaning at all!

"Hah! Seriously, I don't understand it myself......"

"But since this place is so close to Earth, and it just so happens that the Phantom Man of Cerberus has asked me to come here and retrieve something for him at this time...... Then I can't stop coming, maybe, I can work for him one last time? ”

Originally, Shepard was indeed planning to go directly to the Citadel space station first! However, not long after they left Earth, and before they had time to jump to the Charon repeater, they received a message from the Phantom Man: the other party asked her Shepard to come to the Mars base immediately to retrieve an important object and information that had been excavated before the Reaper invasion, so as to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Reaper or being destroyed by the enemy!

Shepard, who was in the spirit of doing things for Cerberus for the last time and repaying the other party's life-saving grace, decided to stop by here to have a look, no matter how successful or unsuccessful it was, they couldn't waste too much time.

"Cerberus?!"

"Shepard, I suggest that you better clear up with them sooner now!"

"They're acting weirdly, and they're not allies of our Star Alliance! In fact, they are nothing more than a bunch of extremist terrorists, and if you continue to entangle with them, you will definitely get into big trouble in the future! ”

As a fighter of the official organization of the Star Alliance, Ashley obviously doesn't like the group of armed terrorists with a private nature in Cerberus! It's like a policeman with a sense of justice won't like the underworld, she looks down on the guys who have been stirring up trouble in private and destroying the unity of the various races in the galaxy.

That extreme paramilitary organization that pursues human supremacy has caused trouble to them in the past, and has caused them to be criticized by the Citadel Council many times!

"Excuse me?"

"Well, excuse me, I seem to ...... And a member of the terrorist group you just said you just talked about?! ”

At this time, Miranda, who was also taking off her helmet and panting, and was about to enter the underground base, glanced at her very unkindly, staring at the female warrior of the Star Alliance who dared to speak ill of Cerberus in front of her.

Speaking of which, she Miranda is also a high-ranking member of Cerberus! If she wasn't on an important mission right now, she would have given the other party a good look! Although she herself is not very happy with some things about Cerberus, it does not mean that she allows others to orchestrate and slander her in front of her!

"Humph! I'm just telling the truth!! ”

As the elevator moved slowly, Ashley also stared at the woman from Cerberus standing behind Shepard with a hostile gaze.

"Whew! It's ridiculous! ”

"I would like to remind you that it is the terrorist organization you speak of that has been fighting the Reapers, calling on you diehards to believe in their existence; It was also our Cerberus who successfully recovered and revived Shepard, and indirectly saved tens of billions of humans on Earth! ”

"But you Star Alliance, apart from panicking to discuss countermeasures at the end of the day, what else have you done? There are powerful fleets in the sky, and you are really amazing to be beaten to the doorstep of the reapers! ”

"If Shepard hadn't found reinforcements with the help of our Cerberus, the Earth would have been finished with your Star Alliance!"

A sneer stared at the other party's angry red face, and Miranda retorted so unceremoniously.

Just as most of the people in the Starlink can't get used to Cerberus's style, she Miranda also doesn't look down on the Starlink bureaucracy that only procrastiates and delays things, and can't protect the common interests of mankind in time!

That is, the luck of the Star Federation, it happened that the captain of their Cerberus had some amazing little guy, otherwise, where would the earth be now? In short, before that, Shepard was working for Cerberus, and the spaceship was also Cerberus's, so Miranda felt that they should also have a share of the credit for saving the earth!

"You!!"

Ashley, who was choked, was about to take two steps forward to reason with the other party, but Shepard reached out in time to stop the two of them.

"Alright, please shut up!"

"This is not the time for us to discuss these things! The information from the Phantom Man of Cerberus revealed that an incredible object had been dug up in this base, an important item left behind by the Protheans! So, we'll have to get it before the Reaper monsters inside start destroying them! ”

"We're just fighting a few sporadic Reapers, and they don't have any ships or large war machines here, which is a blessing in disguise!"

Click!!

Once the elevator reached its destination and the hatch slowly opened, Shepard reloaded his C-14 Gauss rifle with all his might.

Ever since she had used this weapon during the time when Earth was attacked and fled by the Reapers, she had fallen in love with the powerful gadget in her hand, which she claimed to be capable of taking down warships, and had asked Admiral Galen for a lot of rifles and ammunition of all kinds, which were directly placed in her arsenal on the Normandy II.

If you don't have armor, using this weapon will really cause a serious burden on your body.

However, now with Mass Effect armor in them, their weight and strong recoil are basically negligible. However, she had never considered the bulky CMC power armor of the Federation of Heroes, although they were strong in armor and indeed powerful, but they were seriously inconsistent with the mainstream style of their world, such things were only suitable for appearing on frontal fierce battlefields, and once they wore them, they would definitely seriously hinder their mission.

For example, this kind of stealth combat now?

“……”

“……”

After glaring at each other, the two women behind Shepard finally stopped talking and arguing about the inappropriate things, and honestly followed each other with guns and watchful.

"Something isn't quite right here......"

"You see, the corpses of these Reaper monsters, they have two different weapons and ability burns on them, and they are killed at different times...... I thought, someone must have been here, and maybe two groups of people? ”

After saying that, Shepard looked at Miranda behind him with some confusion, as if he wanted to ask the other party, did the phantom people also send other people, and then found that they failed, and then let them come?

"Hey! Please......"

"Can you please stop looking at me like that, I've been chasing me around the Normandy II by the Reaper Battleship!"

Miranda really didn't know anything, and after they returned to Earth, they only had time to observe the majestic and mighty fleet of the heroic Lianbang, and the shocking scene of the huge and terrifying battleships and battle cruisers flying in line to the Earth-Moon orbit...... After that, they were hurried out and came here, and how did they know if Cerberus had any other special arrangements in this base?

Besides, the Phantom Man of Cerberus, that Jack Harper, can't explain everything to her, she Miranda is just a senior staff member, not a boss!

"Let's go......"

"I think I heard something...... Fast! Over here! ”

Reaching out to signal Ashley and Miranda, who were following him, to be quiet for a while, and then listened for a while, Shepard soon heard something.

"Yes!"

"Seems to have come from across the track? Listening to the different gunshots, there must be someone fighting the Reaper, but there are not many people, and the frequency of the gunfire is not too high, the number of people is expected to be around three to five, or even less! ”

Ashley walked to the window, looking at the glimmer of the weapon firing from the Xuan window and the faint sound that spread to this side, she quickly judged that a small number of armed men on the opposite side were engaged in a low-intensity battle with the Reaper.

"Whatever it is, we'll see!"

"Let's go!"

After thinking about it, he nodded to his two companions, and then Shepard ran briskly towards the orbital entrance.

Until now, the phantom man of Cerberus hadn't told her what she was coming here to retrieve, just told her to hurry here and wait for orders.

Now, apart from the monsters who had killed a bunch of Reapers outside, she was still in a daze, and in the absence of a clear goal, she could only plan to go to the battle area in the distance to see what was going on on that side!

Maybe it had something to do with what the Phantom Man asked her to do?

——————

“……”

"Little Führer Anne, why don't you go in with Shepard?"

Heavily armed and wearing fully enclosed armor, James was guarding the tarmac outside of the base where they landed, guarding the UT-47 drop-down shuttle landing craft they were flying in as they descended from orbit.

It's a boring job, and as an elite Starlink warrior, he doesn't like this kind of work.

At this time, beside him was the little girl who was wearing a ghost suit and no protective gear on her head, sitting on the engine cover of the landing craft and eating. Seeing this situation, James faintly felt that the reason why Shepard let himself stay to guard the landing craft must also be because he wanted to be a nanny to guard this little girl, it must be right?

If this little guy had gone in before, then he James would definitely have been able to go with him, two more people, and it would have made Shepard's task a little easier.

However, unfortunately, no one could guess what this little guy was thinking, she just didn't want to go with her......

"Cut!"

"There's only one alien in this base, a robot, and then there's a small group of reapers, and it's not fun at all, so why should I go in?"

(o´ω`o)ﾉ？

Whether it's Annie's own psychic scan or her little bear Tiebs's perception, they only found that inside the base of this withered yellow planet, there was only the thing she had just mentioned...... Therefore, she felt that she had no fun, so she simply started her own picnic party here on the surface of this Mars, so that she would not want to follow those three guys in and work blindly!

Anyway, those Reaper monsters won't be able to beat Shepard and the three of them! Therefore, a big boss as powerful and murderous as Queen Anne doesn't need to go down to make trouble for those little monsters.

If she bullies a few monsters and asks her to go out herself, how embarrassing it is to say it?

"Uh-huh....."

"Delicious! Sure enough, it's a good idea to go on an alien planet for a picnic! ”

Ψ( ̄~ ̄)Chew!

On the ground of Mars, sitting on the hood of a 'luxury car' landing craft worth three million stars, eating delicious food cross-legged, blowing the cool Martian wind, and looking at the scenery of exotic planets, this novel experience makes Anne feel that it seems good to do this once in a while?

Sure enough, it's much better to go out and play with Shepard than to stay on Earth and have meetings all day to study how to fight reapers! She didn't want to sit stupidly in that boring command headquarters, listening to those officers of the Star Federation and the Hero Federation, arguing about the even more boring military star maps!

That kind of thing is not interesting at all!

"How do you know what's going on inside......

"Well, Führer Anne, how exactly do you know that there is only one alien, one robot, and the exact number of reaper monsters in the base?"

Looking around, there was still no hostility around, and the reaper monsters that could be seen had been cleaned up by Shepard and the others just now, so, idle, James walked to the landing craft with some confusion, and asked this little guy who was sitting on the hood and eating.

This little guy is very powerful and amazing, he has known it for a long time, which he can see from the fact that the Transformers conjured by the other party on the top of Normandy 2 and the fact that the other party can kill the Reaper thousands of kilometers away without aiming just now! But...... Without being scanned and probed by any high-powered instruments, how did she know about the situation in this base?

"I know, but I won't tell you why!"

(‾◡◝)Ψ

Mental power scanning and perception of that kind of thing, this stupid guy must not understand it if he really says it, so ah, Anne, who doesn't want to say too much, began to tease each other mischievously.

The more the other party wants to know, the more she herself doesn't say it, and she is anxious to kill him!

“……”

In the dark gray helmet glass cover, James's cheeks twitched, and finally he didn't dare to say anything.

After all, this inconspicuous little guy in front of him, whether it is his individual strength or the power and backers of his subordinates, has thrown him almost the distance from Mars to Earth......

Now, it's too late for him to offer the other party like God, so how dare he provoke or talk back casually?

He still remembered that the other party just opened a portal casually, and then it didn't take long to pull out a super fleet of at least tens of thousands of ships...... And most of them are fleets of battleships of the dreadnought class! Anyway, the head of such a powerful country is definitely not something that he, James, a small soldier of the Star Alliance, can provoke.

"Hey! Would you like to come and ask for something to eat? ”

"You see, I still have this delicious almond dried fruit here, and some apples..... of course, and a lot of cakes and cookies, and chocolate can't be given to you at that time!"

Ψ(￣∀￣)Ψ

Anne pointed to the snack that filled the hood and introduced it to the stupid big guy who had been standing guard next to her.

Just as the other party didn't know how she knew the distribution of enemies in this Martian base, this stupid guy also didn't know how she conjured up so much food, and just now, she took it out in a grand manner.

"No need ......"

Seriously, just now, when this little guy coldly took off the protective gear and eyepieces of the ghost suit on her head, he James was almost scared to death by the other party's behavior!

You must know that this little guy's identity is not ordinary, once something happens to the other party by his side, then he is a sinner for the entire human race on the earth!

"Thanks, I don't dare to take off my mask directly here on Mars, like you...... The atmosphere on Mars is terrible, it doesn't provide us with the oxygen we need to breathe, and if I take off my mask, I'm going to die! ”

Although Mars is surrounded by an atmosphere, James knows that it is not the same as Earth's atmosphere! Here, in addition to the low atmospheric pressure, the main component of this Martian air is carbon dioxide, followed by nitrogen and argon, in addition to a small amount of oxygen, water vapor and a very small amount of methane!

These gases, which have very low pressure and are completely incorrect, must not be supplied to any living creature on earth to breathe! Perhaps, it's just the freaks of the Turks, right?

"The atmospheric environment here is toxic to us humans......

If he, James, dared to take off his mask and breathe in the atmosphere of Mars like the other party did, then almost instantly, he would definitely have that kind of rapid heartbeat, weakness in his hands and feet, difficulty breathing, confusion, and then paralysis within a minute or two and cause his heart to stop beating, etc.

If the treatment is not timely, it will definitely die in the end, and it will be honorably an unlucky bastard who is not a combat attrition!

"Huh?"

ヾ(´･･｀｡ )ノ？

Anne stared at the dumb guy with some strange surprise.

Of course, she knew that the environment here on Mars couldn't breathe directly, so she kept holding it! Anyway, she can rely on her powerful magic power to power herself and walk freely in a vacuum environment, and here on Mars, there is no problem at all.

"I actually didn't breathe the air of this planet directly, can you just hold it?"

(～￣▽￣)～

Wouldn't this stupid-looking guy hold back, then quickly finish eating, and then put the helmet back on? Mars is not a vacuum here, but the air pressure is a little lower, and you won't die if you eat something for more than ten or twenty seconds!

“……”

The corners of his mouth twitched, and James walked to the side with a gun.

He didn't want to talk to this little girl about such useless things on such meaningless issues, but now in the middle of combat duty, he didn't dare to be distracted for too long, otherwise he might not have his share in the next attendance.

"Don't you really come a little? It's delicious! ”

ヽ(゜Q。 )ノ？

Anne held up a piece of cake and seduced the stubborn fellow.

"Nope! Thank you! I'm not hungry yet, eat it yourself! ”

James turned around and began to concentrate on the tarmac overlooking the Martian base below, keeping an eye out for any special conditions that might arise.

"Don't dare to eat, you're so pitiful......"

╮（﹀_﹀）╭

“……”

James didn't feel anything pitiful, if he really held his breath and risked his life to eat two bites of snacks as he said, it would be really pitiful! Earthlings who dare to do that must have their brains caught in the door!

——————

"You are! Liara ......? ”

Here in the core data center of this Mars base, Shepard immediately recognized her old friend, Liara of the Asari clan!

As soon as they made their way here, they saw each other throw them on the heads of several corpse golems with the singularity of their abilities, and then kill those monsters with a few shots.

"Shepard! Great, you're still alive?! ”

"I've seen countless Reaper warships leap from the Charon Repeater and attack your Earth directly! I was really worried at the time, and I thought you must be hopeless......"

"By the way, what happened to the Earth when you escaped?"

After cleaning up the last few enemies, and seeing that the person who came was Shepard, who was her old friend and good friend, Liara finally relieved her mind and lifted her guard.

The relationship between her and Shepard is very good, directly surpassing the ordinary friendship relationship, reaching the level of intimate lovers.

That's right, the word lover is not used incorrectly!

Because, even though the entire race of the Asari has only one sex, females, they are not a vegetatively reproducing species like jellyfish!

When they need to reproduce, genetic information often produces two different sets of genetic copies for their offspring, no matter whether the 'father' is male or female, or what kind of race, or whether it is an intelligent life, after their Asari offspring is born, it will definitely be a standard Asari!

And it was clear that in the past, she Liara had already had some kind of special physical and mental connection with Shepard...... Perhaps, in a short time, Shepard will almost be able to be a father? Even though she Liara is only a hundred years old and is still just a little Lori in the world of the Asari, she is not taboo about this, she sees Shepard's appetite for herself, so she does it.

"Actually, we didn't run away......"

Shepard, who had just wanted to hug this close alien friend, stood a little embarrassed when he heard the other party's words.

The earth is fine, they weren't beaten out by the reapers, and this Liara has probably been in this base for a long time, right? Otherwise, the other party would not have noticed the situation of their Earth, which is not too far from Mars.

"Didn't run away? And your earth ......"

After thinking about it, Liara still didn't understand......

Under the fierce attack of so many powerful Reaper warships, if Shepard and the others didn't escape, how could they still run to this Martian base and come to them in front of them?

"Humph!"

"Our earth is still very good, you don't need to worry too much!"

Miranda, who was on the side, took two steps forward unceremoniously and said coldly, she didn't like this Asari, in fact, she didn't like all aliens! Moreover, she also thinks that the other party is likely to be uneasy and kind when he comes to this Mars base of their human beings?

“？？”

After re-examining the human standing in front of him, and seeing that Miranda and Ashley were also good-looking, and they didn't look like they had escaped in embarrassment, Azalie's little Lori Liara turned her head and looked at her Shepard with puzzled eyes.

"This ......"

"Forget it, this matter is really a bit troublesome to explain, I'll explain it to you in detail when we go back later! But, Liara, I'm also a little curious, why did you come here at this time of our Star Alliance's Mars base? ”

Shepard didn't want to explain to anyone what was happening on Earth, because it was too much trouble to be able to explain in a few words, just like she didn't want to explain it to Miranda before!

What's more, it's not safe, and it's not a good place to chat, so she simply asks about the things she cares about.

“……”

"That's because, in my intelligence, I discovered that this excavation site of your Mars has an important plan blueprint for the Prothean device...... A great plan that would make it easy for all of us to get rid of all the Reapers! ”

Although she didn't understand what shepard was doing, Liara, who trusted the other party very much, nodded and skipped the matter, and immediately told her super discovery: among the information she obtained, she found that there was a good baby here that was enough to deal with the Reaper!

"Ridiculous!"

"Asari, do you even know what you're talking about? And easily get rid of all the Reapers? I guess you don't know how many of them there are, do you? ”

Hearing that the other party dared to say that there was such an outrageous thing, Miranda once again retorted with some disdain. Thinking about it carefully, they earthlings are also supported by strong reinforcements, and they have paid huge sacrifices to barely defeat those reapers who invaded the earth.

But now, the other party actually said that he could easily destroy all the reapers?!

The Reapers, there are at least hundreds of thousands of battleships alone, if not more! If there were such good things, the Protheans would not have been exterminated by the Reapers, and their things would not have been dug up from Mars by their earthlings for research.

If there really is such a good thing, the barbarian race that is now written in textbooks or locked up in zoos by the Prothean is them earthlings!

"Of course I know that our Asari territory is now under attack by the Reapers, and is losing ground......"

"If this continues, we Asari people won't be able to hold out for long."

Liara sighed, her eyes darkening at the same time.

If they can't find a way to fight the Reaper, it won't be long before Thessia, the home planet of their Asari, known as the 'jewel in the crown of the galaxy', the pinnacle of democracy, and the 'heartbeat of love in the galaxy', the home that gave birth to their Asari, will soon be destroyed under the reaper's fire.

That's why she, Liara, is here today, looking for a way to defeat the Reaper! And, she is convinced, she has found it!

"Alright, Miranda, let's hear what Liara has to say."

After reaching out again to stop his obviously hostile companion, Shepard looked back at the long-lost Liara with some anticipation.

There's really that kind of good thing that can defeat the Reaper, and she, Shepard, won't miss it anyway! Anyway, it doesn't hurt to listen to it now, maybe, is that true?

"Believe it or not, from the information I found in the archives of the Protuse, they do exactly say so!"

"That thing, it's on Mars, it's right here......"

"It's not a weapon, though, at least not yet...... Was that the plan, or so to speak, the blueprint for a great device of the Proseans? Design drawings? ”

"The file says ...... At the beginning, the Prothean people found a way to deal with the Reapers, and they made all the plans, but their time was not enough, and the Reapers' offensive was beyond their imagination! ”

"So, now, this may be our only chance to defeat the Reaper......"

With that, Liara turned her head to stare at the middle of the research center, staring at the Prosian ruins that were protected by the shield, the vital strategic weapon that was said to be able to save the Asari and all the higher races in the galaxy.

As long as they get it, they have a chance to defeat the Reaper!

"The only chance? Scold! Learana not necessarily! ”

Shepard, who remembered something, curled the corners of her mouth in an arc, she was not as pessimistic as Liara.

"However, since you now find that there is some kind of weapon here that is powerful enough to destroy the Reaper, then we must not give up easily!"

"I think that's why we're here......"

At this moment, the three of Shepard finally vaguely knew why the Phantom Man of Cerberus had hurriedly asked them to come here to find something...... Moreover, he mysteriously refused to say that it turned out to be such a terrible weapon of great killing?

Liara certainly wouldn't be out of sight, and the unprofitable phantom man wouldn't do anything meaningless, so now Shepard at least believed most of what Liara said! Even if that thing, it really can't wipe out the Reaper instantly, but at least it can be a huge threat, right?

Then, with the help of the Federation of Heroes, and the entire galaxy united, then their odds might be several more levels higher?!

"So what are you waiting for! Hurry up and take it! ”

"Do we need to move this big guy? In that case, I think, we may need to call Normandy II immediately! ”

When Ashley heard that there was really something good, she pointed to the large stone pillar-like Proxian ruin in the middle and asked.

"Nope! It can't be moved or destroyed, we just need to download the above data! ”

"I was doing what I was doing, but a horde of Reaper monsters hindered my progress, and now I might have to do it all over again."

With that, Liara hurriedly walked over to the Star Alliance's instrument again and began to operate it quickly.

Starlink's equipment was still a bit difficult for her, because Starlink used the kind of letters she wasn't very familiar with, and because of this, she had just slowed down a little bit, and was discovered and interrupted by the Reaper's skirmishers, so she had to start all over again.

"Then you can operate with confidence now, we won't let any monsters bother you anymore!"

Click!

Shepard loaded his weapon, then motioned for Miranda and Ashley to join him in spreading out the cordon and escorting Liara to make sure that nothing more was there to disturb them or harm the awesome Prothean ruins.

'Zizi ......'

"Who?!"

Suddenly, before Shepard and the others saw the appearance of the reaper monster around them, they found that a holographic projection appeared on an instrument next to them, and when they shifted their guns one after another, they found out that it was an old acquaintance of hers?

'Shepard! ’

The other party took a puff of a cigarette for a long time, and then looked at Shepard with a huge C-14 rifle pointed at him and spoke.

“！！”

"Are you the Phantom Man of the Land of Cerberus? But how can you ......?"

After discovering that it was this mysterious guy, Shepard slowly lowered his gun. She didn't understand what it meant for the other party to appear at this critical time?

Also, how the hell did he know they were here?

'It seems that you have found the precious property that this Prothean has left to us humans...... Now, Shepard, get it, and give it to me? ’

Frowning at the Asari who was operating, the phantom man suddenly spoke in a commanding tone.

“…….”

"Nope! Your Excellency the Phantom Man, I think this thing should be the common wealth of all mankind, and indeed the whole galaxy, and we should share it, and then use it to defeat those reapers? ”

"Only then will we be able to achieve the ultimate victory!"

After hesitating for a moment, Shepard finally decided that this thing could not be given to the phantom man alone!

If it was as useful as Liara said, she would copy a few points and give it to all the races she thought were capable of owning it, so that she could successfully resist and destroy the invading Reapers!

‘……’

There is something hidden in the works of art behind you that will indeed allow us to find a solution to the Reaper! ’

'It's a great invention.......

Staring at Shepard in displeasure for several seconds before the phantom spoke slowly, he was quickly interrupted by Shepard.

"I know about this, Liara has already told me in detail just now!"

"But, since you're saying so now, I'm even more interested in it! I think the Star Alliance and the Citadel Council will take it seriously! Of course, after copying, I will also give you a copy? ”

"When the time comes, we will be able to successfully destroy all the Reapers!"

After the mutual affirmation of the Phantom and Liara, Shepard can be said to be completely convinced of the authenticity of the information in this installation! She suddenly became a little glad, and fortunately she didn't run to the Divine Castle in the first place, otherwise, such an important thing would not know where it would be lost!

'Shepard ......'

'Look, here's our disagreement......

That's what makes me different from you...... You people are only thinking about how to destroy those Reaper monsters, but I am thinking about ...... How do you control them?! ’

As he spoke, the phantom man suddenly accentuated his tone.

'Think about it, as long as we have the power of the Reaper, humanity will become more powerful than ever! When the time comes, the entire galaxy will be ours!! ’

'The Reaper is completely at the mercy of us humans, and with that absolute force of force, we can own the whole world! We, the human race, will surely control the entire galaxy! At that time, both the Asari and the Turkians will be reduced to vassals of our human race! ’

The Phantasmal Man shouted, looking at the Prosian ruins in obsession and longing for what it would be like to be human, or rather, the Phantom Man, after Cerberus took control of the Reaper.

"Are you crazy?"

Hearing the phantom man, the terrorist's crazy words, Liara of the Asari had to stop her operation and turn her head to stare at the crazy guy incredulously.

When is it, the entire galaxy is in danger, but this terrorist leader, this extremist, is still thinking about such an inconsequential thing?

"Your Excellency the Phantom Man of Cerberus, I have seen and fought those terrible monsters! If there is any hope of defeating them now, then I am already content, and you, even want to control them in a delusional way? ”

"Do you know that if we waste any chance, we're really doomed!!"

Shepard exclaimed in the same way, even the Federation of Heroes was cautiously skeptical about whether they could defeat the Reaper, and this phantom man, he was delusional enough to do that?

Sure enough, it's not completely unreasonable that this Cerberus organization and this phantom man are wanted by the entire Citadel Council race!

I don't expect you to understand me, and I don't want your approval...... Now, I just need you to complete my order: give me the information in full from the Prothean device, and not to anyone......

After that, the matter between you and me will be written off! What do you think of this statement? ’

Seeing that he really couldn't convince the other party, the phantom man began to give an ultimatum.

"No!"

"I refuse this order, even if you did save my life, but I still stick to what I just thought!"

"If this thing is really that useful, then it is the common wealth of the entire galaxy, and no one can enjoy it alone! We should use it to deal with and destroy those reapers, that is the most correct use of it, not to put the safety of the entire galaxy at risk in order to satisfy your ambitions! ”

I still don't know what it is, but Shepard knows that even the Phantom Man is so nervous, it must be a good thing! As long as they get it, they will definitely have a better grasp of dealing with the Reaper!

Therefore, no matter what the other party says, she will not give up!

Even if the other party did save her life, but in the face of the major rights and wrongs that concern the entire human race and the survival of the entire galaxy, she Shepard will never compromise and regress!

'Don't interfere with my plans anymore, Shepard......'

The phantom man's face was a little unpleasant, and he didn't know what to say when a woman he rescued finally came to obstruct him.

"I won't give it to you, Your Excellency the Phantom!"

"We're already strong enough to have you play with that crazy and dangerous plan! Those reapers, they must be destroyed, and no one will try to control them, including you!! ”

Shepard said categorically, in a very decisive tone, and rejected each other viciously, regardless of their affection.

I know what you're referring to...... Powerful? Heh, you mean the Federation of Heroes from the Kprustar Zone, right? ’

'Believe me, we should be conservative about that Hero Federation from outside, Shepard.......

The Phantom Man shook his head, he wasn't very optimistic about the power that Shepard relied on! Because, the Reaper is more powerful than anyone can imagine...... Therefore, only his own plan, only controlling those reapers, is the safest and most rewarding thing to do!

"They're human too!"

What he decides, Shepard will not be easily persuaded by the other party!

She firmly believes that the only thing to do is to defeat those reapers, with battle, hard work and blood, and not to try to control that terrible monster as the other party said!

Yes, they are human, but they are not humans in our galaxy, and we don't know anything about them! ’

The Phantom Man didn't give up, and still seemed to be trying to convince the other party.

"Your Excellency, I choose to believe in Anne, in her country, and in the choice of our Starlink!"

No one can control the Reaper, and that terrible creature is not something that ordinary people can control!

In short, Shepard will not let this phantom man's plot succeed! Otherwise, even if the other party really succeeds, with the other party's traditional style, the galaxy in the future will definitely experience another disaster, which is not what she wants to see.

'You're emotional, and even if you do win, you'll keep the entire galaxy under the control of their Federation!' ’

What's the point of doing that? ’

The Phantom Man doesn't believe in that Federation of Heroes, in fact, he doesn't trust anyone but him!

"That's better than being destroyed by the Reaper!"

"And, you can't deny that they saved our planet and are sending more and more fleets ready to counter the Reapers!"

Now that part of the fleet of the Federation of Heroes has rushed to the aid of the Arcturus space station, the next step is to stabilize the territory and colonies of mankind, and now in this good situation, she will not allow this guy to make waves again.

The entire galaxy unites to fight the Reaper, which is a strategy jointly formulated by the Star Federation and the Federation of Heroes, and she, Shepard, is the intermediary who ensures the smooth implementation of this plan! Therefore, now, she will not compromise with this phantom man, absolutely not!

‘……’

That's why I'm worried...... In the future, we earthlings may be annexed or enslaved by their country.......

After looking at the resolute woman standing in front of him for a while, the phantom man sighed and shook his head, as if he had a feeling of being inhuman?

"Hah!"

"So what?"

"At least, they are also human beings on Earth, and for us Star Alliance, at most, it's just a change of government! I'm sure I won't mind, and I'm sure the tens of billions of people on Earth who are saved won't mind too much! You also know that this universe is cruel, and since there are better options now, why should we oppose them? ”

Shepard knew this kind of thing, and Anderson had vaguely mentioned it to her, but she didn't regret her choice, and Anderson obviously didn't either, so she chose to believe in the old chief, the old general's decision.

'Shepard, they're not humans of our plane!' ’

The Phantom Man's expression became a little hideous, and it was clear that he was enraged by Shepard......

"Is there a difference between humans and humans?"

After signaling Liara beside him not to argue with the other party, Shepard continued. Now that thing is in front of their eyes, she has the final say on who she wants to give it to!

'Absolutely!' ’

“……”

"Your Excellency the Phantom Man, it suddenly seems to me that there is no need for us to continue talking."

Without speculating for more than half a sentence, Shepard took two steps forward, intending to turn off the other party's holographic communication, and it was out of sight!

Anyway, now things are in front of her, her Normandy 2 is just above the orbit of Mars, and the great fleet of at least several thousand of the Hero Federation is on the other side of the earth, and she Shepard has the confidence to make what she says count, and she doesn't need to talk nonsense with this guy!

'Hum ......'

'I'm a little sorry, but I still have to say: our employment relationship is over......

'...... Now'

'Miranda, subdue Shepard immediately and get back the thing I need!' ’

The Phantom Man suddenly turned to Miranda who was standing behind Shepard and ordered!

“！！”

“？？”

This change frightened Ashley in the distance and Liara, who was operating the instrument, quickly turned around and aimed the muzzle of the gun at Miranda.

"Nope! Ashley and Liala, put your guns down! ”

"I believe Miranda, she's not the kind of person you think she is!"

Shepard reached out to stop the hostilities in Guerras, having worked with Miranda for so long, she had long since discovered that the other party was not that kind of extremist, and she would not make such an unwise choice at this time.

'Miranda!! ’

Seeing that Miranda really didn't react, the Phantom Man roared again.

“……”

"I'm sorry! Lord Harper, I think Commander Shepard did the right thing, so I'm more inclined to support her? ”

Having seen the crazy and terrifying scene when the Reaper invaded, and then thinking about the rare peace of the earth and the continuous summoning of large fleets of the Hero Federation, Miranda didn't need to think much about it to know who to support.

Besides, a certain little guy's ability is placed there, and there is a strong federation as a backing, is there any need to consider who to support? Moreover, she Miranda herself prefers Shepard and the others to be more conservative, and like the phantom man Jack Harper's plan, it will definitely be besieged by the Reaper and all other forces, which is really crazy.

‘……’

'Humph! Sure enough, I knew I couldn't trust you anymore! Anyway, it's about the same time now, and I think my men will bring that thing back to me! ’

With that, the phantom man laughed to himself

He had Shepard here only to attract the attention of the Reapers to his men, and he had never thought of using them to recover such an important item for him. Now, after grinding with the other party for so long, and distracting the Asari a few times, then his purpose has been accomplished.

"Not good! Shepard, that important piece of information is missing!! ”

In the next second, before Shepard could come to his senses, Liara, who was operating on the instrument, screamed loudly in horror! Such important information was still there just now, but when she turned around and was about to reason with the terrorist leader Phantom Man, it was actually deleted?

She didn't understand, how did the other party do it?!

Da Da!!

Suddenly, a flurry of eager gunfire rang out.

"Where! There's an unidentified guy who was just over there at that data interface! ”

Rumble! Rumble!!

Ashley saw the back of a thief who ran fast, and the other party ran out of the warehouse door at once, and not only blew up the automatic door from the other side with something, but also blew up the device that stored the data!

"Damn! We can't get out now! ”

Ashley, who was chasing the enemy, ran to the automatic door as soon as possible, and after just operating it, she anxiously turned back and shouted to the three people who were at a loss.

She saw that the enemy had downloaded the material and taken it away, and even if they opened the door, the other party would probably run away!

'You see, I'm finally going to get what I want......

“……”

"Humph! Your Excellency the Phantom Man, do you think that guy can get away? ”

Shepard turned her head with a cold face, and was brushed by the other party, and her own face was a little unpleasant.

'Why not?' ’

The Phantom Man, who had the chance to win, began to take another puff of his cigarette and began to look at the deflated Shepard and the others proudly.

"Hello?"

"Annie? There's a bad guy running out of the base, she/he may have an important piece of information on her hands, please help us capture her/him alive and get rid of it! ”

Regardless of the other party's stunned expression, Shepard sneered and opened his own communication directly.

'It's troublesome, got it......'

The avatar of a little girl appears in Shepard's multipurpose and quickly disappears.

"Well, Your Excellency the Phantom Man, who do you think has won now?"

Shepard believes that with Cerberus's intelligence, they will definitely know what little Annie is capable of, right? Then she wanted to see how the other party's agent escaped from the little guy who claimed to be the strongest ghost agent in the Kprustar Zone?

‘……’

'Excellent! Shepard, you're going to regret it! ’

After a pause, the Phantom Man's originally relaxed expression became hideous again, obviously, he knew what Shepard's call just now meant.

"Nope! On the contrary, we will surely be glad that we have chosen today! ”

"Instead, you, Your Excellency the Phantom Man, you should put aside your prejudices as soon as possible, unite all those we can unite, and fight against those evil reapers!"

Even though the warships of the Hero Federation have now taken control of the solar system and are heading for Arcturus, ..... Shepard doesn't think that their side of the earthlings will have an advantage over those reapers!

So, what she has to do now is to unite all the forces that can be united, and find all the ways to deal with the reapers! It would be great if Cerberus let go of his prejudices!

I was right! ’

And you, when the time comes, will definitely regret it!! ’

With that, the Phantom Man roared and turned off the communication first, leaving only the four women in the Martian base who were frowning, brooding, gloating, or anxious.

That Asari Liara should be a woman, right?

——————

'Anderson, how is the Earth now?' I've heard that the Earth's native fleet has been wiped out, and the Earth has been raided? ’

Admiral Hackett is on the flagship of the Arcturus space station to talk to Admiral Anderson at the Earth Command.

Now, the outside of the Arcturus space station is full of wreckage of warships, including those of their star alliance, and more of them are those reapers! And, of course, there are the fleets of Federation battleships that are so dense that you can't see the eye that you can't see at a glance, and the hulls are painted with huge hideous bear heads!

For Anderson and others to find such a powerful helper, Hackett is resolutely supportive and supportive! And now, he has electrified the legitimacy of Anderson's command of the Star Alliance.

"It's okay, except that now that Starlink is replaced by me, it doesn't seem to have changed much?"

Anderson was also greatly relieved to see that his old buddy was okay.

Of course, if you don't think about the citizens who were killed by the Reapers, it's good now. At this time, they are starting to rebuild, and at the same time, they are also preparing for the war with all their might! They plan to work with the Federation of Heroes to build several factory areas in the spaceports orbiting the moon, Mars, and asteroid belts, and fully produce warships to prepare for long-lasting operations in the future.

In short, the solar system will soon become a large factory in full swing, and the Hero Federation will transform and build it to the greatest extent, directly turning it into a large rear and heavy base group.

'Anderson, how the hell did you find that kind of powerful reinforcement?' I don't know anything about them......'

Remembering the spectacular scene not long ago, when tens of thousands of battleships fired a salvo of 10,000 guns, the thousands of Reaper battleships were left in the first round of the opponent's main gun salvo, and the second round of secondary gun salvo was directly wiped out......

He still feels his blood boiling when he thinks about that kind of thing now! A large fleet of tens of thousands of dreadnought-class battleships, he Hackett couldn't even think of it!

"I'll give you a report later, in fact, they were recruited by Shepard, and they don't have much to do with me!"

'Shepard? Where has she gone now? ’

"Hackett ......"

"As you know, we have won local victories, but now, the war has just begun...... We need more reinforcements, and we need the entire galaxy to come together to fight the Reapers, not just now! ”

"So, she's going to contact the Citadel and all the forces that can get support!"

‘……’

'It's so hard for her......

"Yes, we all owe her."

'Alas......'

Soon, the two admirals of the Star Alliance began to talk about their daily lives, and they won't repeat what they said.......
