Chapter 0547: Divine Citadel and Horizon

When Shepard and her Normandy 2 received an urgent mission from the Cerberus Phantoms, and then used superluminal speed to rush to the 'Horizon' colony of the Boundary God System at full speed, preparing to deal with the 'Collectors' who came out to make waves to attack humanity again, the Fortress Space Station at the heart of the galaxy, the 'Foundation' armed poor people riot in the Third Guard District, which was beaten by the turians and rebel thugs, and the building damage was more than 20%, finally entered the final stage.

Although the battle lasted for nearly half a month, it was only on the first day that the armed mob rushed to the 'ground' of the defense area and looted for half a day, and then they were soon driven back to the world below the 'foundation' by the angry Turkian regular army...... Then, the two sides began to fight in the intricate labyrinthine underground passages, where even the 'nurses' might not know all the passages.

This dozen is nearly half a month......

In that kind of complex passage, the armed thugs of the 'Foundation' world succeeded in limiting the combat effectiveness of the Turui people to the lowest point, and also let the Turui who rushed into the 'Foundation' barely occupy almost one-third of the underground world of the Third Guard District after thousands of casualties, the loss of more than 10,000 mechanical intelligent soldiers, and the consumption of a large number of war machines.

But now, the Turui soldiers had been ordered to stop for an emergency ceasefire, and for the time being, they had to confront the thugs carefully in pipes, passages, or complex metal cabins.

The reason for the ceasefire between the two sides is not that the Turks feel that the casualties are too great to continue, nor is it because the military expenditure is too great to afford to lose, but because ...... Now they're going to 'negotiate peace' with the rebels, or one of the leaders of the mob, the supposedly leader of the Krogan people!

Originally, the angry Turks wanted to refuse to negotiate, they felt that anyway, they had fought for so long and suffered so many casualties, as long as they continued to work harder and continue to kill and wound some soldiers, they would definitely be able to kill the thugs who were already in embarrassment, and complete the battle!

However, after learning of the threatening signal released by the damned Krogan people, the hesitant Turks had to order the troops below the 'foundation' to temporarily stop advancing, and contacted the Citadel Council as soon as possible, and then arranged this extremely high-level meeting - led by the Citadel Council and the Turui military, to conduct tentative negotiations with the leader of the Krogan mob?

Of course, this is not a face-to-face negotiation, and now both sides are basically unable to trust anyone, so they have a remote conversation, relying on holographic projection equipment.

"Sure enough, the leader of their rebels is really a Krogan man......"

“……”

"It is said that this Krogan was a slave who was sold to the Castle by the 'Qingyang' mercenaries, but this guy was so tyrannical that it didn't take long to attack the merchant who bought him, and then ran away......"

"If the C-SEC had caught him earlier, I am afraid that things would not have developed into the embarrassing situation they are in now."

“……”

In the council chamber of the Citadel Circle, the four councillors of the four councils who stood tall in the air, as well as the other qualified ambassadors, advisors, and some of the turian officers present, looked at each other in surprise and whispered when they saw the Krogan leader projected in the middle of the hall.

No one could have imagined that it would be those Krogan people who were tortured by the gene phage and were about to be wiped out, and they still had the strength to come to the Divine Castle to make waves?

Then, they soon subconsciously realized that this rebellion would definitely not be resolved so easily...... After all, the feud between Krogan and the Citadel is not something that can be explained in a casual sentence.

In the Rekney War, in order to deal with the highly developed intelligent zerg of Rekner, the Citadel Council first reused the Krogan and let them grow and develop...... But later, in the 700th year of the park, the Krogan people, whose self-confidence had become extremely inflated, began to rebel, and even made a terrible incident of occupying the fortress - occupying the Ashari colony and refusing to return it!

Whose territory did they grab is not good, but they have grabbed the head of the Asari, who really think that the Asari are the kind of 'peaceful' race who desperately want compromise and cooperation, and reject armed conflict?

Thus, shortly after the Recknay War, the Krogan War was soon announced......

Immediately afterward, the Turks were officially accepted by the Citadel Council and introduced into the Krogan War...... When the Krogan people continued to use weapons of mass destruction (nuclear weapons) in large quantities to destroy countless colonies of the Turks, the mad Turks, at the instigation of the Serarians, the second race of the Citadel, used the frenzied biochemical weapons developed by the genetic scientists of the Serari Gene - Genophages on Krogan!

Obviously, the ruling races in the Divine Citadel are all thick-faced and black-hearted guys......

As a result, the number of Krogan people has dropped to a staggering number of newborns in a few decades! After losing the follow-up advantage in strength and population numbers, Krogan finally collapsed under the blow of Tu Rui, and since then he has been in a state of collapse and on the verge of extinction.

Since then, Krogan has no place in the Galactic Citadel society...... And they have a hatred for the Divine Castle, and they gradually stay away from here, and generally only a few people are active in the remote galaxy, living the life of mercenaries or pirates who lick the blood with knives.

And now, they have finally confirmed that it is really the Krogan who is causing trouble in the fortress as the captives have spoken...... This has to make the members of the council feel that things are a bit tricky, and they do not have much hope for the outcome of the negotiations, nor do they have the luxury of expecting any good results.

"I've finally seen you......"

"The Asari, the Serrajes, the Turks, and the humans of Earth...... That's right, you guys should be those council members of the Citadel! ”

The projection of Grant, the leader of the Krogan uprising, first scanned his surroundings before using his bloodthirsty and cruel red eyes to look at the four members of the Citadel Council who were standing tall.

Originally, he didn't want to negotiate with the Citadel Council, he just wanted to keep the 'foundation' world of the third guard of the Citadel and maintain his existence! Then, from time to time, you can organize your subordinates to raid the bureaucrats and magnates on the ground, and let them know about the existence of the poor people in their 'foundation' world, and that's fine.

However......

He still underestimated the determination of the upper echelons of the Divine Citadel to completely wipe them out, even though they had already inflicted heavy casualties on the turians who rushed underground, but the strength of the other party's attack had not decreased at all, so in order to continue to survive, they had to start the idea of peace talks, and finally with all their efforts, today's meeting was possible.

"Yes, you're facing the Citadel's Council right now!"

"Krogan, you can say now, why are you going into an armed rebellion?"

After staring at the Krogan standing in the middle of the conference room for a long time, Councillor Asari, who existed as the President of the Council and was currently the most powerful and respected intelligent race in the galaxy, frowned slightly and took the lead in asking.

In any case, today's affairs must always be properly resolved, because no one knows whether the things that the Krogan people conveyed through the captives are true or false, and whether they exist or not?!

"Rebellion?"

"No...... We have no rebellion! We are just fighting for our survival, for our future! ”

Grant first turned his head to look at the turian general who was staring at him with gritted teeth, and then stared at the other with some hatred, and let their eyes collide silently before turning back to the blue-skinned asari who was speaking.

He felt that they were not engaged in any kind of rebellion, they were just engaged in a great war of freedom!

"Survival?"

"This problem simply doesn't exist! As far as I know, the recovery systems of our Citadel space station are located in the "foundation", and those systems can make all kinds of artificial organic sauces, which can sustain the survival of almost any race! ”

"What's more, they're free! You can get them in any recycling bin, and they're packed with nutrients...... Learn to be grateful......"

Before the Asari could say something, the Senator suddenly interjected and retorted.

Apparently, he was a little disagreeable with the Krogan claim that they were rebelling 'for survival', as nothing more than a very clumsy excuse and a ridiculous excuse for an ambitious Krogan to leave it at that.

He knew that in the 'foundation' world of the Divine Citadel, not only was the climate pleasant, warm in winter and cool in summer, but there was also free food that could be taken at any time, so what was not satisfied? Of course, as long as you don't think about where the food comes from, you can't ask for too much for the rest.

No matter how bad it is, those organic sauces are also non-toxic and harmless free food, and that kind of subsistence benefits are much better than the creatures struggling to survive on other planets in the galaxy.

"Thanksgiving? Hmph, ridiculous! ”

"You high-ranking guys, how do you know what kind of life we bedbugs live in the 'foundation' world?"

"It was a dark place, you couldn't see the sky, you couldn't breathe fresh air......"

"There's no hope, there's no future, you can't even get out of that place!"

"There...... It's a huge invisible prison, cold and cruel! ”

"We ......"

Krogan Grunte began to speak slowly, some of these words were taught to him by his think tank, and some of them were thought of by himself, he was not the kind of Krogan who was simple and rude, and would only 'do it or not'!

If these high-ranking bureaucrats think the underground 'foundation' world is good, then why not come and exchange with them?

"That's it!"

"Krogan people! Stop your foolish complaints, that's what you brought on yourself! ”

"If you had complained to the council or submitted a bill in a peaceful way, things would not have come to this point, and our countless turbulent warriors would not have died in vain!"

Some of the impatient Turkish parliamentarians directly and brutally interrupted the other party's speech.

In this Citadel Rebellion, not only has their authority been seriously impacted and challenged, but their military strength here in the Citadel has also suffered huge losses! If they could, they were the ones they didn't want to talk about!

He felt that today's 'peace talks' were completely meaningless!

"Appeals, bills?!"

"Humph! Does that stuff work? You guys, have you given any chance to our 'foundation' world? I'm afraid you don't even know how many people are in the 'Foundation' world, right? ”

Do these guys really think that he is really here for peace negotiations today?

No!

By no means!

Today, he is actually just here to threaten the other party and try to gain benefits for himself, and there is nothing else!

“……”

“……”

None of the councillors spoke again, not the Asari, the Serrare, or the Turkish, all of whom clearly did not know how many there were in the 'foundation' world of the various wards of the Citadel.

All they knew was that the population of the cities of the Circle, Inner Ring, and Five David was about 13.2 million, which was the official statistics of the Citadel, not counting the number of Citadel 'Caretakers' who no one knew the exact number.

As for those who are not registered, they will only hide in the 'foundations' under the Five Davids...... Then I'm sorry, no matter how many they have, that's really none of their business!

Those parasite-like beings, they never paid attention!

Moreover, if it weren't for this rebellion, I'm afraid that these bureaucrats would not have thought that there would be so many poor people who fought for days and could not stop killing, and could even inflict heavy casualties on the Turks, right?

"Hah! You don't know, do you? ”

"Then I'll tell you, there are at least two million inhabitants in the underground of the Third Quarter alone, and maybe even more! That huge underground world is far beyond your imagination! ”

Grant roared loudly, his men had lost no fewer casualties in the battles these days than those elite Turks! Anyway, the more than 100,000 rebel troops he armed are now estimated to be less than 50,000!

If it weren't for the fact that they were far more familiar with the 'Foundation' world than those Turk soldiers, they had an absolute home advantage, and the Turks' large automatic weapons could not be operated and deployed in the 'Foundation' world, I am afraid they might have been wiped out long ago!

“……”

The human councillor of the council, Admiral Anderson, frowned a little unconsciously, he originally wanted to say something, but he endured it, and finally held back his intention to speak. Because, Udina had warned him before that this was a matter for the Turks, and the humans of their Star Alliance should try not to get involved!

At least, it must not be mixed in until the dust has settled! Just let those turians toss by themselves, anyway, it won't cause any loss to them and the human race, there are not many humans in the 'base' world of the Divine Citadel, and they have only been in the Divine Citadel for a few years, and they can't create so much poverty and have to run to the foundation of the unlucky bastards.

Therefore, he stood next to the council members, silently listening, and did not dare to speak casually.

Merely......

He never thought that there would be so many people under the ground of the third guard area alone? If you calculate it in this way, wouldn't the people of the five health districts add up to at least more than 10 million people, or even more?

Gee!

Perhaps, there will be more residents of the Guardian District than the registered Guardian District of the Divine Castle? After all, the Citadel has been discovered and colonized by the Asari people for almost two thousand years, and God knows how many people from all races of the galaxy have been hiding in the 'foundation' over the years, and how many have multiplied?

Fortunately, the underground worlds of the various Davidian districts are not connected to each other, otherwise, once this kind of rebellion spreads, then the Divine Castle will have a lot of fun here!

If the horrible thing of the rebels succeeding in taking control of the Citadel and turning off all the Mass Effect repeaters does happen to you, most races in the entire galaxy will be blinded! No race can roam the galaxy without repeaters, not even faster-than-light sailing!

Because, the diameter of the Milky Way is more than 100,000 light years, and even the longest-lived Asari people are only ordered for thousands of years, once the Divine Citadel is removed from the problem, to recapture this place, with the current navigation technology of the various races in the galaxy, it will be a protracted thing, even at least hundreds of thousands of years!

“……”

Thinking that the previous 'Reapers' who refused to be recognized by the Divine Castle also wanted to do so, Anderson couldn't help but feel a chill blow up. If Salen's conspiracy had succeeded in the first place, the consequences would have been ...... It's unimaginable!

"Let's put an end to this pointless conversation for a while!"

"Krogan people, say what you ask now, if it's not too much, we'll consider it at our discretion!"

After reaching out to stop Councillor Turi, who was still about to say something, Councillor Asari spoke slowly and amicably again.

So far, on the surface, it seems that only humans don't have much grudge against their Asari and Krogan clans, and if the matter here in the Citadel can be properly resolved, they Asari don't have much of an opinion.

"Requirements? Of course! ”

"What we want is this: we want the whole third district, and we want full autonomy! We want to live in the sun, to be able to see the stars and breathe fresh air...... We also want seats in Parliament! ”

Krogan Rooter, who also seemed reluctant to waste too much time with these bureaucrats, also spoke out loud about the conditions he had prepared before.

"Hah! Listen, he still wants the entire Third Quarter? ”

"I'll tell you now...... This request of yours is simply wishful thinking! ”

"I can also tell you that if we are given another three to five days, our valiant Tu soldiers will be able to easily slaughter all of you hiding under the 'foundation', leaving not a single one behind!"

Regardless of his identity, the turian general brazenly stood up in front of the four members of the council, walked straight in front of the rebel leader of the Krogan people, Grant, approached and stared at each other's eyes viciously threatening.

In fact, he is the one who least wants the two sides to have peace talks.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party suddenly made that kind of threatening remarks that made him a little jealous, the two sides would not have had any kind of conversation here today!

"That's right!"

"If I hadn't had something good to keep you from messing around, I think you'd have done that...... But now, you don't dare, do you? ”

Grant began to laugh evilly, and now he was really fearless. As long as what he has in his hands is not fake, then they will not lose.

Because, unlike the bureaucrats in front of them, they have nothing to lose, and they have nothing to protect!

“……”

"Krogan ......"

"We believe that you have nuclear weapons on your hands...... Because, those small nuclear grenades are enough to say it all! But...... We don't believe you have enough weapons to threaten the safety of the Citadel......"

"Even if you can blast a hole in the third quarter, the 'Nurses' will be able to fix it quickly!"

"Therefore, we refuse to accept any form of blackmail from you unless you can prove it to us."

After eyeing up and exchanging something with Councillor Asari, the Serari spoke again.

And now, it's the point of today's meeting - to make sure that the other party has the kind of weapon that can threaten the safety of the Divine Citadel! The words I said before were all just mutual temptations between the two sides, and they didn't mean anything at all, and they didn't change anything.

Actually, if those rebels are outside the Citadel, then they don't care!

Because, even if it is the main gun bombardment of the dreadnought or the weapons of mass destruction launched by it, it is easy to resist the Citadel space station! What's more, they also have the fleets of various clans stationed on the periphery of the Divine Citadel, as well as the most powerful Destiny Transcendent!

They weren't afraid of outside enemies, but they were a little afraid of the rebels who were wreaking havoc inside the Citadel.

"Of course, I knew you were going to ask about it, so we were ready!"

With that, Grant snapped his fingers.

Immediately after, it seemed that someone helped him turn on a certain projector, and the next second, the holographic device directly projected a quadruple ...... beside him Missile launch box? Looking at the height of that launch box, at most it was a little higher than his Grant?

"Let me introduce you first......"

"You see, this box, it's got four missiles in it, its name, hmm...... It seems to be called 'Super Big Ivan'? The seller told me that each of them is a fusion weapon with a TNT equivalent of 10 billion tons! ”

"Hah! I don't know exactly how powerful it is, but that doesn't stop me from liking it......"

Pointing to the missile launcher projected holographically beside him, Grant began to smile and said that with this thing, he was not afraid that the bureaucrats would not give him what he wanted.

"Super Big Ivan, ......"

For some reason, Admiral Anderson's right eyelid jumped unconsciously.

Born in the military and with extraordinary experience, he has certainly seen the history of the development of weapons of mass destruction for human beings on earth and some representative historical materials.

'Big Ivan', also known as 'Tsar Bomba', is said to be the largest hydrogen bomb ever built by the Soviet Union during the Cold War...... In total, two were manufactured, one of which was detonated on Novaya Zemlya in the northern part of the planet on October 30, 1961, while the other was stored for research and backup.

It is the most powerful bomb in size, weight and power of all the bombs that mankind has ever detonated on Earth!

Even the current Star Alliance has never done that terrible thing......

Now that I think about it, more than 300 years ago, Anderson couldn't help but sweat a little for the earth with the crazy behavior of those Soviets, and their earth did not become a wasteland of nuclear radiation like the home planet of the Krogan people, Tutzenka, which was really a blessing in misfortune!

Fortunately, the Soviets themselves were afraid that it would be too powerful, afraid that they would accidentally break the earth? Therefore, they reduced its explosive yield, which should have been equivalent to 100 million tons of TNT explosives, and directly halved the explosive power of 50 million tons...... But in the end, the mushroom cloud created by the explosion was more than seven times the height of the highest peak on Earth, Mount Everest! The electromagnetic pulse waves emitted caused a gap of more than an hour in radio communication...... The atmospheric disturbance caused by the explosion has also circled the Earth several times.

And now, someone really provided this Krogan super nuclear bomb, and it used the name of the earthling's weapon?

What the hell are those guys trying to do?

Moreover, the nuclear bomb provided is still a big guy with a full 10 billion tons of TNT equivalent in an even more frenzied way? This...... This is a serious violation of the provisions of the "Citau Convention" that restricts the treaty on weapons of mass destruction (MD), and once it is found out who produced it, it will definitely be beaten by the group of Citadel member countries!

"They're small fusion weapons?"

"This ......"

"Looks a little unreasonable......"

"What do you think, guys?"

"It's hard to say......"

"It's a little too small, about the thickness of a thigh?"

"That's what I said......"

(???? 灬????) (?? -_-‘)(???? ロ`??) (???? 灬????)

When the Krogan were introduced, the four council members finally began to whisper to each other a little disregarded, and even Anderson was forced to participate in the discussion.

And then very quickly, they seem to have come to a certain conclusion?

"Krogan ......"

"After our discussions, we don't believe that there is a fusion weapon with such a large yield that can be made so small...... Therefore, we reject your unreasonable demand, and we do not accept any form of blackmail from you! ”

After the discussion and argument verification of many military technicians and representatives of the Serradian who were already very knowledgeable about technology, they quickly came to the conclusion that the missile launch box next to the Krogan man was not enough to pose a threat to the Divine Citadel, and .....at most it was just to damage the third guard area of the Divine Citadel, and they had already had a relevant plan for this kind of thing.

So, knowing the real cards of the other side, they planned to end the stupid negotiation and let the Turks continue to attack, trying to eliminate the rebels entrenched under the third guard zone as soon as possible.

They have now decided to support the idea of the Turks: to make an example of each other, and not to be tolerated!

Only by quelling this rebellion once and for all can the rest of the people, or the rebels in the 'foundation' world of the other Guards, let go of some unrealistic delusions and honestly be obedient citizens under the management and rule of their Citadel Council?

"Yes!"

"You're right! Actually, even I don't believe they can be that powerful...... So, we might as well test shoot one now? ”

"Anyway, I have a full four, if they really have that much power, maybe just one will be enough to destroy the Divine Citadel, huh!"

Krogan Grunt grinned and took out a data cable and connected it to his multi-tool, then connected the missile launch box to the other end, and began to quickly operate on the holographic screen in his hand.

"Wait!"

"You're going to ...... Ground-based launch, are you crazy? ”

Councillor Asari thought about it, but couldn't help but call out to the other party.

She couldn't believe that the other party would really do such crazy behavior? The world in the foundation, it is said that the highest place is only four meters, and the largest cabin is only a cabin with a radius of a few hundred meters, in such a place, how the Krogan man below wants to launch, she really doesn't understand.

Launched in a sealed environment, even if the power of the missile is not as great as imagined, that guy will definitely be killed in an instant, right?

Could it be that the Krogan is crazy? Or is he just a fool?

"Humph......"

"Don't you worry, this missile is amazing, and it is said that it also has a teleportation 'folding' function? Anyway, it's like a Mass Effect repeater? ”

"Okay, we'll find out soon...... Rest assured, I will not launch at your ring, because I may need you to agree and fulfill my requests......"

"My people told me, I remember that the Turkian Fleet Fortress seems to be in the (A65.64, **33.264, H5.56) area, am I right?"

"We Krogan have always had a great enmity with the Turks, so let's use them as targets for experiments this time......

"So ......"

With that, Grant pulled up a holographic red button on his multi-tool, and then took one last look at the nervous but somewhat skeptical council members, and when he found that the turian general was now staring at him with disdain, not taking his threat to heart in the slightest, Grant was so angry that he pressed the button hard!

Sou!!

A white missile quickly burst out of the missile launch box and then quickly disappeared in an instant.......

“…….”

"Hah! Stupid Krogan people, I absolutely don't believe you......"

The Turkian general was just about to say something, when he suddenly ......

A fiery, powerful light lit up outside the window of their council arbitration room!

The extremely strong light directly shone on the various guards and rings of the Divine Castle, like a small sun shining in the distance, stimulating everyone almost unable to open their eyes!

Fortunately, this is a vacuum in the space of the universe, and nothing superfluous can be conveyed here except for light and intense rays! And the strong defense of the Divine Citadel to cope with this kind of strong light scattered in all directions is obviously more than enough, and it will not cause any damage.

The light comes and goes quickly......

Eventually, when the light faded away, they didn't see anything superfluous except for a little discomfort in their eyes...... The cosmic space outside the window was still swarthy, and of course, there was the beautiful blue nebula in the distance.

It's just that the radiation and strong light that just appeared in the distant universe, that little sun-like thing, will definitely not be fake!

At this time, everyone here at the president of the council knew in their hearts what was going on just now!

"Report!"

"Super light radiation was detected, and a powerful fusion reaction was taking place in the distance! When converted...... It seems that it is indeed more than 10 billion tons of TNT explosive yield? ”

"And the target of the explosion is indeed in the garrison of the Turkish fleet......"

"Ladies and gentlemen! Now that the main fleet of Turui has been confirmed to be all lost, a large number of fragments have been found in the distance, and some of them are attacking towards the Divine Citadel, and it should not break through the shield to pose a threat, please instruct!! ”

Before the councillors could ask, one of the technical officers who was watching quickly got up and running on the console, and then soon she exclaimed in surprise.

The one just now turned out to be really a super-high-yield fusion weapon? If the other party really detonated it in the Divine Castle, then the more than 13 million people here, including all the poor people under the 'foundation', would not want to live!

I'm afraid that the entire Citadel space station will really be torn apart by a powerful internal explosion into a large pile of cosmic garbage, right?

“……”

“……”

“……”

( ̄□ ̄) (??????) ∑(O_O; )(⊙_⊙)?

"Hahaha......"

"It's a good baby, it's well spent! Looks like I'm going to have to hide the remaining three things carefully......"

"Now, council members, shouldn't we talk again? I seem to have thought of a lot of very unreasonable blackmail conditions, and I think that now you will definitely listen to our demands with all your heart, am I right? ”

"Huh, hehehe....."

In fact, it wasn't just the councillors who were scared, but even Grant himself!

Even he didn't expect that the little human girl he met when he was sold here by the mercenaries of 'Qingyang' and then escaped by himself by accident, the other party would carry so many good things with him? At that time, he just gave almost all the money he stole from the slave owner to the other party, but now, he actually got such a huge return?

"Negotiations are suspended first!"

"We need to have an urgent meeting before we can make a decision on the next step!"

Without waiting for anyone to speak, Councillor Asari immediately stated her own arrangements.

"Of course you can!"

"But, I think you'd better hurry! I think there's a limit to my patience! ”

Krogan Grund, who felt that he had completely taken the initiative, patted his chest generously, and then directly turned off the hologram.

Now, he also needs a little time to find his own wisdom and discuss it with his subordinates, especially the quarian woman under him, who will definitely give him a lot of good advice.

“……”

"Councillors, I think we should get rid of the ghosts, raid each other's lair, and find that bomb!"

Looking at the empty space in the middle of the empty arbitration hall, General Turui's face changed for a moment, and then he said his thoughts fiercely. Because, their turian garrison and fleet were blown up by that damn Krogan, and their turian losses were at least hundreds of thousands!

This big enemy, he will definitely not forget it easily, never!!

"Are you sure?"

Councillor Serari asked softly.

“……”

However, even in the midst of his indignation, General Turui did not dare to make any guarantees about this matter.

"You should know that we can't afford to take that risk, General Turui...... Once the Citadel is lost, it will be a devastating catastrophe for all of us! ”

“……”

"So we're being threatened by that Krogan thug? You should also know that after they succeed this time, they will definitely make even more outrageous demands next time, and we can't give him the entire third ward! ”

"Alas......"

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you think the Council has moved to a ship far from the Citadel for safety?"

"This ...... It's not right......"

"Yes, we must not give up the Divine Citadel easily!"

“……”

"Councillors! Our Turui intelligence team has just locked on to the exact point of the opponent's signal, as long as the council agrees, the main guns of our cruiser will directly fire at the coordinate point of the opponent, and we will definitely be able to kill the bandit! ”

"Hmm......"

"It's absolutely not going to work! What if the other party doesn't die, or if the missile explodes directly?! ”

————————

"Look, this is the destination of our mission - the Horizon colony!"

Normandy 2 is flying stealthily in orbit above the 'horizon' colony planet, silently observing the largest colony under attack through the ship's equipment!

It is a habitable home planet, with vegetation, atmosphere, and living creatures, which can meet the survival requirements of all human beings on Earth! And this is exactly why Cerberus and the Star Federation unconsciously ran to colonize the Boundary God System and ignored the edicts of the Divine Castle!

However, in addition to the colonial buildings and a small number of fallen and immobile humans, there are also a large number of monsters wandering somewhere, apparently the kind of 'collector' monsters and those corpse golems that Shepard's team has seen many times!

And, of course, there are plenty of swarms of bees! Presumably, the people of those colonies must have been attacked by those 'poisonous bees' that can paralyze humanity, just like other colonies that have been attacked.

"Shepard!"

"Look! There are a lot of turrets down there that have been built by the Star Alliance, and they never seem to have been used, so is there any good way to get them running again? If you could, it would be a lot easier to deal with that Collector ship and those huge numbers of enemies! ”

After looking at the holographic map with the others for a while, Miranda asked, pointing to the huge Starlink turrets.

The kind of planetary defense facilities that can attack not only the air, but also the ground, if they can really control it, this battle will definitely be much easier.

“……”

"That's Starlink's automatic equipment, whether it works or not, you have to go inside to find out! If it's because of the interference of the collectors, I think we can control them! ”

"Alright, we'll send a few technical teams to split up later, make sure to recover those turrets as quickly as possible, and then control them to deliver a lethal blow to the collectors!"

After thinking for a moment, Shepard nodded and agreed to Miranda's suggestion.

After all, their ground combat power is a little too small, and if those planetary defense weapons are activated, it will definitely be enough for those collectors and towering ships docked on the ground to drink a pot!

The suggestion was good, and she couldn't think of a reason to refuse.

It's just that their elites are still a little too few, and she has only recruited a few people now, plus the marines that Cerberus originally equipped for Normandy II are still no match for those collectors below, and they must control those planetary defenses as soon as possible!

"Then, it's the arrangement of the commandos, we have to attract the attention of those collectors and share the pressure on the technical team that occupies the turret!"

"Wait, little Annie, what are you doing here?!"

Shepard, who was assigning a task to the team members who were about to depart according to the invisible footage of Normandy 2, exclaimed and looked at a little guy who was heavily armed and carrying the X-97D 'Viper' sniper rifle on his shoulder, and was looking at the map with a deliberate approach.

She didn't plan to arrange for this little guy to fight in that dangerous colony down there, anyway, it was a bit of a challenge to her moral bottom line to involve a little girl in the battle or something, she couldn't do that kind of thing.

"Of course we want to play together!"

(???? ω????)??

Being able to sneak down on a planet to fight those monsters, Anne will definitely not miss this great opportunity! What's more, when she finishes fighting monsters, she can also find some delicious food on the planet below, whether it's delicious fruits, or hunting a few delicious animals, that's okay.

Without adding her name to Her Majesty Queen Anne at the top of the food chain on the planet below, she would never have left here easily.

"That's fighting, not playing, it's dangerous!"

Hearing the other party's words, Shepard shook his head.

She knows better than anyone how dangerous the next battle will be! So, she wants this little guy to be able to stay here in Normandy 2, which is safer!

"But, I'm obviously better than you!"

(ー`?? ー)

Even if she doesn't use magic, Anne can fight hundreds of them by herself, and this big sister Shepard doesn't want to take herself, so how can she do it?

These guys are so spicy and weak, if it weren't for her help, they wouldn't have survived the next chapter!

"Better than us......"

Shepard suddenly felt that this seemed to make sense, and she was a little speechless?

"Alright, Shepard, little Annie is right, take her with you!"

"I'm sure it would have been a good choice with her sniping from afar?"

Before Shepard could say anything else, Miranda hurriedly spoke up to persuade her.

This little guy's marksmanship, Miranda is completely convinced! If it's just sniping from a distance, and they're drawing the enemy's attention in front, it shouldn't be a big deal.

"This ......"

Somewhat hesitant, Shepard looked up at his other companions and comrades, wanting to hear their opinions

"Just let her support us from a distance with Garas, it should be fine."

At this time, that Jacob also responded to Miranda's suggestion, supporting the little girl who was extremely accurate in marksmanship and beat a group of mercenaries to abandon their weapons and surrender to the bottom of the planet to provide them with necessary long-range support.

"Alright then!"

"Hooray!!"

"Then what are you waiting for, let's hurry up!"
