'......'

'This is Normandy II, please answer when you hear it!' ’

'Hello? Is anyone there? This is Normandy No. 2, anyone who hears it please answer! Please...... Multiply...... Are there still people on Earth?! ’

'......'

'This is Normandy No. 2, please answer when Starlink headquarters hears it......

“！！”

"Report! Your Excellency, we have just received a signal from Normandy II! ”

Just as the two admirals in the temporary command center of the Star Federation Anderson and Galen were whispering in the corner about summoning the fleet and cooperation, while Little Anne, Shepard and Nova were talking about their own topics next to them, a Star Alliance officer suddenly stood up and reported loudly, successfully attracting everyone's attention.

It's been so long, and it's the first time they've received signals from other cosmic spaces other than the Earth-Moon system, so they can't help but be a little excited by this technical soldier of the Star Alliance and the others.

"It's Normandy II?!"

Hearing that his spaceship finally had news, Shepard immediately ran to the communication technology officer's console and directly and brutally pressed the button to connect to the communication:

"Is it Normandy II? I'm Shepard, you're still alive? That's great! Please report your current location now! ”

After pressing the communication button, Shepard quickly explained his identity aloud and began to ask!

She had been a little worried, afraid that her spaceship and her companions would be blown into cosmic garbage by those Reaper warships like the Earth's native fleet! Well, now she was finally relieved, it had been proven that her Normandy II was still relatively capable of running, no, not long after they had calmed down the chaos here on Earth, it had come out again.

'...... Zizi ......'

'Convert Image Mode...... Great, it's Shepard, you guy! ’

'Are you all right on Earth now?' Be careful, we've seen at least hundreds of Reaper ships raid the Earth-Moon Circle and parachute Earth! You must hide, we will pick you up when we have the chance! ’

Miranda's avatar appeared on that holographic screen for the first time, and when she also saw Shepard's face, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Like Shepard, she thought that Shepard and the others on Earth had been wiped out by those menacing reapers!

After all, they also saw the situation of the Reaper warship bombarding and raiding the headquarters of the Earth Star Federation at that time, and it was precisely because of this that they did not dare to enter the Earth's atmosphere and try to rescue their commander at that time.

It started a few hours ago......

At that time, when Miranda and the others saw those Reaper warships suddenly jump not far from the Earth's orbit and began to violently launch the first round of onslaught bombardment and raid on the Earth against the unsuspecting Earth's native fleet and lunar base, they saw that the situation was not good, and they ordered Normandy 2 to enter a stealth state and sail at the speed of light to the outer reaches of the solar system!

At that point, they no longer had the care to respond to Shepard or observe the situation.

Because, as soon as they left that spaceport on their front feet, countless Reaper warships easily crushed Earth's fleet and almost all of the space stations on their hind feet...... And while starting to land on the earth as soon as possible, he wantonly bombarded and pursued the Star Alliance warships that wanted to escape, and he didn't intend to give the Star Alliance any time to react at all!

At that time, anything that dared to resist or stand in the way, including those Earth's communication satellites, was instantly shattered by the reaper warships that were full of firepower......

Finally, after crossing the asteroid belt of the solar system, Normandy 2, which ran directly to Neptune's orbit at the fastest speed, stopped in horror after discovering that there were no Reapers, and began to secretly send signals to call the Starlink headquarters on Earth.

Of course, they also tried to call their commander Shepard, but when they found that what was displayed on the contact screen was a strange small hideous robot that could not speak, and they thought it was the Reaper's war weapon, they were so frightened that they immediately cut off the communication and changed the position of the spaceship again, and only now did they dare to continue to send signals to call the Star Federation headquarters on Earth.

They had subconsciously thought that their commander, their Captain Shepard, had been killed by the Reaper raid again! Therefore, now that Miranda sees that Shepard is intact, as the acting captain, she can finally be regarded as the heart that has been hanging.

“……”

"Miranda, where are you running now?"

Hearing that the other party actually let himself be careful of the reaper...... Shepard's cheeks twitched, and she didn't know what to say, so she could only frown at the other party with a strange expression.

She felt that the other party must be far away from the earth, otherwise, she would not have said the inexplicable words just now at such a time?

'What's the matter, I'm hiding in Neptune's orbit right now, do you need us to get you out?' ’

'...... Oops, the signal is still a little bit bad......'

"But please be patient a little longer, it may take a little more time for us to return in stealth...... Because just now, a Reaper chased us for a while, and we weren't sure if it had given up tracking us......

Their ship is only a frigate-class light ship, and in a one-on-one frontal situation, Normandy II will definitely not be able to defeat a Reaper battleship anyway!

Therefore, Miranda felt that they had to be cautious, and could only quietly return to the Earth's orbit and find a suitable opportunity to slowly dive into the Earth's atmosphere, and only then would they not be detected by those powerful Reaper warships.

However, the time to return this time must not be as fast as when they escaped, and they need to sail in silence, and the speed cannot be too fast.

"God......

"Miranda, come back quickly, there are no reapers left here on Earth! In fact, all the Reapers in the solar system have probably been destroyed in the Earth's atmosphere...... Now, you better hurry back at full speed, there will definitely be no more enemies chasing you. ”

Shepard looked at the serious-looking Miranda, and then at the nervous companions behind the other party, she shook her head a little crying, and angrily stated such a funny fact to the other party.

Although, those reapers before were indeed menacing, and in an instant, they broke through the defenses of the Earth's native fleet and raided to the innermost part of the Earth's atmosphere...... Even, they made Starlink lose a lot before they had time to react...... However, Shepard couldn't figure it out, with the superior speed and stealth ability of Normandy II, Miranda and the others would not run directly to the outer orbit of Neptune, right?

Could it be that the Reaper battleship that pursued them was really so fierce that it scared them like that?

'...... What did you say?! ’

'Reapers, who have invaded the earth...... Are they all wiped out? How is this possible...... Multiply...... How the hell did you do that?! ’

'Shepard, are you sure you're not kidding?' We haven't detected any signs of a large fleet in the solar system until now, and how can you beat those giant warships of the Reapers, without the support of the large fleet?! ’

Sure enough, after hearing Shepard's words, Miranda exclaimed on the spot.

Of course, Miranda also knew that Shepard had found little Annie's big backer, and she also knew that the Star Federation was ready to cooperate and summon the powerful Federation fleet, that is, the fleet of Admiral Galen, who was wearing strange CMC power armor!

But now, according to what they have detected on the Normandy 2, there is no detection signal from any warship other than them around the earth or in the solar system! And those reapers, all of them have landed to attack the earth's mainland, before there is no large-scale fleet to help, with the earth's own military strength, it will definitely be helpless against those reapers, there is no doubt about it!

"Alas......"

"I'm not kidding, the situation here is a bit complicated, you'll know when you get back......"

I can't tell you what to do for a while...... Therefore, Shepard didn't plan to elaborate on the communication, but just signaled the other party to come back quickly, and stop hiding outside Neptune's orbit to make people laugh!

I don't know what's going on, but I always think you're a little weird...... Multiply...... But, okay, you don't have to make a face at me, I'll make the Joker turn full speed back immediately. ’

Although she didn't know what the other party was selling, Miranda nodded quickly after seeing that the other party was really okay and a little angry.

'That's right! ’

'Shepard! Not long ago, when we called you, we found that the person who connected to your universal tool turned out to be a weird little robot? I don't understand, so what's going on? ’

Because of this, just now Miranda, the Joker, and Garras thought that Shepard had accidentally died again, and then that universal tool fell into the hands of the enemy! Thinking about it just now, she Miranda herself was sad for a while, and she had already accepted the fact that the other party died on earth.

But who would have thought ......

Now the other party is still alive and well, and it doesn't look like he's experienced a big war at all?!

"It's actually the same thing as what happened just now......

"Forget it, it's really troublesome to explain, you'll understand it when you come back, I'm waiting for you to answer at the temporary headquarters of Starlink, that's it, the call is over!"

After saying that, Shepard reached out again and directly closed the communication between the two sides, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as the other party was worried about her Shepard's life or death, she herself was also worried about her group of friends!

Fortunately, those guys ran very fast, and ran out of Neptune's orbit in a puff of smoke, successfully getting rid of the Reaper, otherwise, the garbage in space now would probably be a copy of Normandy-2.

"Hah!"

"Today's luck is not bad, not only did we defeat the Reaper and save the Earth, but even my Normandy II was fine! As you may not know, I've fallen in love with my new ship, and I'll be sad if it gets sunk by the enemy! ”

"General Galen, I just remembered something......"

"If you want to find your broadsword, maybe you can try that CMC armor that called you?"

After barely smiling an ugly face at the others who were paying attention to his conversation, Shepard turned to look at the Federation Admiral, who was still holding his strong arm and standing on the sidelines, not knowing what he was thinking.

She realized one thing from Miranda's words just now!

That is: even though their equipment has turned into Transformers and is gone, ...... They could still be connected, and if they were contacted, whether it was Shepard's universal tool or Galen's great sword, it should be easy to retrieve.

"Huh? That's a great idea indeed! ”

"I'll do it right away, I hope that damn robot wasn't killed by the Reaper, right?"

With a fist slap, Galen nodded excitedly when he came back to his senses.

If he could retrieve that great sword himself, of course he wouldn't want to beg that damn Optimus Prime! That damn guy must have wanted to get rid of his Galen's magic weapon for his men, that must be like that, right?

You must know that the original authentic limited edition sword that originated in the hands of Führer Anne, there are only ten of them in total, and each of them is an heirloom-level existence! That kind of tenacity, never wear, indestructible and other good attributes, that's too much!

That kind of good baby, how could he Galen casually let a robot go away?

Even if he doesn't need it much now, he can still exert his strength, even if he really doesn't want it in the future, he can easily get a big windfall if he sells it!

"Normandy II is still intact, which is really good news!"

"However, since your ship is still around, it's time for another plan......"

"I'm sorry, Shepard, although I know it's a bit inappropriate to bring it up now, but I'm pressed for time...... Therefore, I still feel that it is time for you to continue your mission: to unite all the alien races that we humans can unite with, to contact the Citadel and all the other support available to us, to help us humanity, and to help our entire galaxy deal with the evil Reaper!! ”

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, I know it's hard to ......"

Seeing that Shepard wanted to say something, Anderson quickly reached out to stop the other party.

"It's not an order, it's a cheeky request from this old fellow...... Shepard, you also know that this is not a war in which only we earthlings participate, this is a catastrophe that has swept across the galaxy......"

"So, Shepard, use your influence well, we should give all races a chance to defeat the Reapers, and unite them!"

"Because, by giving them a chance, we are also giving ourselves a chance!"

After hearing that there was nothing going on with Normandy II, and that he was about to return to Earth, Admiral Anderson hesitated and struggled for a while, although he himself knew that it was a bit too much to make this request now, after all, Shepard had done too much for the Reaper's things, and even paid for his life once, but ......

He didn't have any other good way now, and with the time being tight, he had to do it this way!

"But...... Anderson, don't we already have reinforcements from the Federation of Heroes? Do we still have no chance of winning? ”

"General Galen, do you think so too?!"

After listening to Anderson's words, Shepard was silent for a while, then frowned, and turned to look at the Galen who seemed to be pondering the recovery of his great sword, she had always thought that as long as they waited for the support of the Grand Fleet of the Hero Federation, they would be able to win!

After all, the strength of the Hero Federation Ground Forces, that is obvious to all! It can be deduced from this that the strength of their space fleet will definitely be able to defeat those Reapers!

"Well...... this"

"Theoretically? But Shepard, you have also seen that if it weren't for our head of state to take action in this battle on Earth, even if we could really defeat the more than 100 Reaper warships, it would have cost a huge sacrifice and a long time! ”

"You know the combat effectiveness of those reapers, not to mention the infantry, they are indeed not our opponents! It's just that their kind of Reaper ships are not easy to deal with...... Not only do they have powerful armor, but they also have an absolutely superior kinetic shield, and even if we are not afraid of them, they are not so easy to deal with! ”

Speaking of this, Galen himself seriously thought about the enemy's intelligence, and then, even if he didn't know much about space battleship combat, he shook his head in frustration after the comparison.

Don't look at the current Cybertron Legion on the ground, flooding hundreds of Reaper-sized warships in an instant, but they can only fight landing battles, the kind of decisive space battleship bombardment, that kind of attack on astronomical units, there is definitely no role for their short-legged robots!

"Although the kinetic energy barrier of their Reaper warships can be restrained by the warships of our Kpru, they have an absolute advantage that none of us can ignore, and that is that there are really too many of them, and that is a number that makes me feel a little desperate just thinking about it......"

Their human battleships, their 'Behemoth-class' battlecruisers, and even the latest model of magical super battleships, are equipped with the kind of 'Yamato cannons' that are controlled by magnetic fields and excited by fusion reactions, and they fire beams of fusion energy particles that are enough to destroy anything!

The only difference between their battleships and the battlecruisers is the size of the caliber of the main guns and the number of barrels...... Galen believed that whether it was their battleship, the Astral Spirit's mothership, or the Swarm's Leviathan-class behemoths, the energy attacks they fired would be enough to deal with those Reaper's kinetic barriers!

But......

The number of the other party, that's a big problem!

"Admiral Anderson, I've forgotten a little, how many warships are there for those Reapers?"

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Galen still gestured to Anderson beside him. Seriously, she's realized now that it's not easy for their Federation of Heroes to colonize this heterogeneous galaxy.

"According to the previous intelligence, there are almost hundreds of thousands of ships detected in the early stage alone? As for whether there will be more of them in the future, then I don't know......"

After saying that, even Anderson himself couldn't help but bow his head a little depressed.

It can be said that he, the admiral of the Star Alliance, is one of the few people who is sober-minded, and he is not complacent because of the victory here on Earth, and he is not blindly optimistic or confident because of the upcoming reinforcement fleet.

Because he knows that the war between humanity, or the races of advanced civilizations in the galaxy, and the reapers, has only just begun! The information they got from digging up the ruins of the Prothean showed that the powerful Proxian race at the beginning ended up at least several centuries older than the Reapers! In that long and bloody war of extermination, there is no doubt that the Protheans lost...... Even if they actively took in countless races and built a huge empire, even if they prepared in advance, they still lost......

Therefore, now there is a new reincarnation of the Citadel Council and various galactic advanced civilization races. If they can't defeat those reapers, in the end, all of them will still be the same as the Proxian Empire, and all the higher civilizations that know the existence of the Reapers will be slaughtered until they are completely annihilated in the dust of time, waiting for the next reincarnation of new beings to dig up and write these losers into the history books?

"That's what I'm worried about......"

"We, the Hero Federation, can only send tens of thousands to 100,000 warships of various types at most! Moreover, that is already a third of our current strength...... It's not like we can't send more troops over, but we also have our own enemies on the Kproru side, and we won't put too much energy into this world! ”

"One more thing I want to declare: we will definitely not throw so many fleets at once, the staff will definitely need to assess the risks and take it step by step, and if the situation is not good, we will directly implement the plan of immediate retreat and closure of this world passage......"

"So, Shepard, trust me...... The war won't end easily, and if I could, I think Admiral Anderson was right about what he had just suggested, and it would be a good choice to unite all the races against the Reapers. ”

There are so many alien races here, in Galen's opinion, if they don't want to be destroyed by the Reapers, they can barely unite and gather tens of thousands of warships to resist the Reapers, and their Federation's fleet will fight against the Reapers, right?

If, by then, the various fleets in this galaxy can add up to more than 100,000 or 200,000, then with the elite main fleet of their Federation, when facing the Reaper, maybe it won't make people too desperate?

“……”

"Order, Admiral Anderson!!"

After a moment of silence, Shepard did not refuse this mission, which sounded difficult, but only hesitated slightly, then resolutely turned to look at Anderson, and gave a solemn military salute to the other party with a serious expression.

It's like what she's been doing before, she'll never refuse as long as she's in need!!

"Excellent! Shepard, you are the pride of our humanity, and I am proud of you! ”

Anderson also saluted, and then gently patted the other person's shoulder, which was not too tough for their man.

"Now, in my capacity as the Admiral of the Star Alliance, I have restored your rank of Lieutenant Colonel of the Star Alliance, and appointed you as the plenipotentiary of our Star Alliance's foreign affairs, specifically responsible for liaising on all matters of the various races, I hope you will not let us down?"

"Shepard, I hope you're doing well!"

"If we still have a future, we Star Alliance, we humans, and even our entire galaxy will definitely not forget your efforts against the Reapers!!"

Although what Shepard did never disappointed him Anderson, he had to remind the other party to point out the seriousness of the matter.

"Guaranteed mission, sir!"

Nodding, Shepard continued to salute.

She doesn't mind much about military rank or something, as long as she can represent humanity and represent the Star Federation to negotiate with other races, she will be satisfied! Besides, she still has the position of a ghost in the Divine Castle, although it may not be too easy to use in this chaotic situation now, but at a critical time, she can still barely pull the tiger skin as a banner.

"Your task may not be too easy, so let's send a team of elite N7s from our Star Alliance, along with James and Ashley, to help you!"

Anderson, who knew that most of the people in Normandy No. 2 were having an affair with Cerberus, thought about it seriously, and out of some concerns, he planned to directly arrange a group of more reliable subordinates for Shepard, and it was definitely okay to those N7s, and that S1 Ashley of the S unit was not bad!

If the other party can get enough exercise and not die, Anderson even thinks that that Ashley may be another Shepard?

"Yes! I understand! ”

Knowing that the task was difficult, Shepard did not refuse Anderson's offer to increase his manpower.

"Huh?"

"Are you still going out on a mission? Sounds like a lot of fun...... Then I'm going too!! ”

（???? ε????)??

It was interesting to hear what the grown-ups were saying, and to be able to continue to wander around the universe, Anne blinked, and ran over on the spot, holding high the paw of her bear Tibbs.

She wouldn't stay in this mess of the earth forever, and now that she has the opportunity to play somewhere else, it would be great.

"If the Führer goes......"

"Then I'm going too, I need to protect our Führer! How's that, Shepard, there's nothing wrong with that, right? ”

After flicking the empty tin shell of the canned food in her hand and stuffing the dagger into the sheath she tied to the outside of her thigh, Nova also walked over with her beautiful long golden ponytail.

"And me, I can lead the charge!"

"Of course, you'll have to wait for me to retrieve my greatsword, it's already handy, and I might not get used to it if I change it to something else."

Seeing that Nova was going to follow, Galen, of course, couldn't be too far behind, so he stood up on the spot and patted his chest and recommended himself.

"You? Don't you need to command the fleet to fight? ”

"Oh! I'm sorry, I almost forgot...... You're a charge-only idiot, and you don't know anything about commanding fleets! ”

First asked a rhetorical question, and then Nova quickly began to mock vigorously as if she had suddenly realized it! Everyone can see that the reason why she did this must be deliberate.

“……”

The green tendons on Galen's head couldn't help jumping, and in the end, he resisted the urge to go crazy.

He felt that this damn spy female leader in front of him must be retaliating against him for what Galen had just accidentally said wrong, it must be like that, right?

"The ......"

"Both of you, come with me, I'm sure you're more than welcome! But...... You're all gone, who's going to coordinate the Star Alliance and command the fleet to fight the Reapers?! ”

Shepard, who seemed to see a hint of something, hurriedly reconciled before the conflict between the two broke out...... These two obviously opposite guys, if they really put it on her Normandy II, then I don't know what will happen!

Moreover, what she just said is also true after all!

Now is the most critical time to fight against the Reaper, and if the Führer, Admiral, and Rear Admiral of the Hero Federation all go out with her, who will coordinate and command those large forces and fleets? She didn't think it would be a good idea for Anderson to work with some unfamiliar Federation general!

"Matt?? Horner! ”

"Matt?? Horner!! ”

Nova and Galen said one of their names in unison, and then they quickly turned their heads and glared at each other.

"Matt?? Horner...... Who's that?! ”

Anderson didn't know the unfamiliar name, so he looked curiously at the little girl Führer on the side, hoping that the other party could give him a little clarification?

"Huh?"

"What do you old man see me doing, what Matt?? Horner, I don't know that weird guy!! ”

(*??????)？？

I may have known each other before, but Anne has long forgotten about it now! Besides, there are so many spicy worlds she has been to, and she can't count the people and things she has seen on her fingers, how can she remember the things in each world so clearly?

As for Matt?? Horner or something......

She dared to guarantee in the name of Little Bear that she really had no special impression! Anyway, that guy is definitely not a great thing! In the Kproru, she only remembered a big sister named Leona, a first mate named Doug, and Renaud, Kerrigan, and some unlucky emperor named Mengsk who had robbed the country by herself?

Tut! Now those guys seem to be already officials of her federal state? A huge country was robbed by her like that, I hope he won't cry directly in his dreams in the middle of the night, right?

“……”

Admiral Anderson, who was full of black lines, had no choice but to ask for help, and looked at Galen, who was more familiar with him.

"Matt?? Horner ......"

"He's the former captain of the battleship Hyperion, the current admiral of the Federation, a graduate of the Tasanis Military Aircraft Piloting and Command University, in short, he's an amazing guy!!"

"Of course, although his individual combat effectiveness is basically equal to zero, in terms of talent for commanding warships, a hundred Galens can't compare to the other party!!"

"When the time comes, he will definitely come with the battleship!"

Before Galen could speak, Nova preemptively introduced Anderson, and continued to glance at Galen who was glaring at her angrily.

"Hey! Can you please stop targeting me everywhere? ”

"I was originally a member of the Marine Corps, and now I am an army general, and I am also responsible for commanding operations on the ground, and those fleet battles are not my specialty in the first place, so there is no comparison at all!!"

In fact, Galen's commander of the First Fleet of the Capital Military Region just hung up that resounding name in order to restrain some disobedient guys! It's just that now that there are people from the Star Alliance, he will definitely not shake out all these broken things in the Federation.

There's no way around it, after all...... Now from the establishment of the federation to the unification of the star sector, it is only a dozen years, and it is a normal thing that there are many factions in the federation, and it is impossible for the country to adjust some troublesome things without one hundred and eighty years.

"Humph! It's useless to be useless, so many excuses! ”

"You!"

“……”

"That's it! Neither of you guys is allowed to go, so I don't have time to protect you! ”

___*( ̄dish ̄)/#____

Finally, Anne couldn't help but get mad......

She felt that if these two guys really wanted to follow them with a dead face, it was impossible to know who would protect whom when they were in danger!

"Yes......"

"Yes!"

There was no way, since Führer Anne had spoken, Galen and Nova didn't dare not listen, so they could only glare at each other hatefully and reluctantly agree.

Although they are still a little reluctant to lose the opportunity to gather around the great Führer Anne to protect and seek benefits, at least, in front of outsiders, the two of them also need to give their head of their family a little face.

"In that case, it's almost time for me to go back to the Star Zone!"

"It just so happens that I really need to go back to the Star Sector now to take a good look at those guys who dare to speak ill of our federal military!"

Nova, who was going to borrow a donkey to go downhill, suddenly remembered something that made her unhappy, and then, intending to shift her target and vent her anger on some unlucky bastards, she said gloomily.

"Speak ill...... Nova, you don't want to do it to that reporter, do you? ”

"That's not a trivial matter, I advise you not to do that!"

If this crazy woman dares to do that, there will definitely be a big mess! Therefore, Galen didn't care about anything else, so he quickly asked tentatively and admonished.

"Why, isn't it okay?"

“……”

"Of course not! Our federation is free of speech! Besides, don't you know that she's Mengsk's daughter-in-law, and you're not someone who wants to offend their faction? ”

Galen leaned over to the other party's side and whispered a reminder.

"Oh?"

"But why can't I offend them?"

Nova hugged her arm and laughed back at the nosy Galen.

“……”

"It's an eventful time, and we're going to focus on coming here against the Reapers, and exploring this plane...... So I advise you not to create unnecessary turmoil at such a time. ”

Ignoring the large group of curious Star Alliance officers around him, Galen leaned in and whispered a word of persuasion.

"Humph! Even if I can't deal with that reporter, I have to find out who leaked the news, and then try to remove him from his official position first! ”

"So it doesn't always violate federal law, right?"

Nova sneered and waved her hand indifferently as she walked out, she really didn't have the heart to attack the female reporter.

Who is She, Nova, she's the commander of the Ghost Agent Force, and she has her subordinates in the entire sector, and if she wants to target someone, it's not easy to dig up a lot of incriminating evidence?

"This damn crazy woman!!"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade the other party, Galen lowered his head and muttered angrily.

"What were you talking about?!"

Nova, who had already reached the door, suddenly turned her head again, staring unkindly at someone who seemed to be speaking ill of her behind her back.

"Nope! Nothing ......."

"By the way, Admiral Anderson, how many warships do you have in the Star Alliance?"

Galen, who didn't want to entangle with some crazy woman anymore, pretended to meet Anderson and asked him about it as soon as possible.

Soon, their fleet will be summoned, and their Führer Anne has already given him several of those magical space gems, except for one to keep for the Federal Academy of Sciences for research, the rest is enough for him to summon the full First Combined Fleet and retreat if necessary.

Therefore, it has become a relatively important thing to figure out the composition and number of the fleet of the Star Alliance.

"Well...... this"

"Originally, we had several large fleets, and then there were six dreadnoughts in total..... but I don't know exactly how many are left now......

In addition to those who were destroyed by the Reapers in the Earth-Moon Defense Circle and wiped out in an instant, they should also have the second, third, and fifth fleets stationed on the Arcturus space station and the sixth and seventh fleets of the two colonies of Eden Primus!

However, there is a premise for this, that is: they have not been discovered and destroyed by the Reapers?

"How come you guys have only six dreadnoughts?!"

Galen exclaimed directly, for the capital ship of the Star Alliance, the so-called 'dreadnought', Galen had already learned a little bit before.

He had heard Shepard say that their dreadnoughts were about 1,800 to 2,000 meters long, while the other cruisers and frigates were more than 1,000 meters and hundreds of meters long, which should be about the same as the obsolete Behemoth-class battlecruisers of their Hero Federation, but it was too far from the latest battleships and super battleships.

Of course, even further away is their number?

A star union, a human race, how can there be only a few dreadnoughts? If this is replaced by the fleet of their Hero Federation, they can find a few heavy factories at random, as long as the resources are sufficient, then it can be like a hen laying eggs, and if they don't get dozens of battleships out in a year, they will be embarrassed to go out and meet people!

Those UED expeditionary fleets were killed by their federation with a large number of warships, and they also served as a transport team, sending them a large number of high-tech and population in vain.

"This ......"

"This can't be helped, after all, we are limited by the Fareksen Treaty of the Citadel Convention, and we can't just create an arms race......"

"However, we also have a lot of large armored transports, they are no thinner than the armor of dreadnoughts, and they use the same engines and command bridges as dreadnoughts, and they can be used as dreadnoughts immediately as long as they are equipped with the main guns!"

"It's just that I don't know how much of them are left, and I don't know ...... myself."

"If they don't have any losses, plus those cruisers and frigates, it should still be possible for our Star Federation to make up a large fleet of one or two thousand ships?"

Anderson stubbornly and carefully counted the family background of their Star Alliance, anyway, the general situation is like that.

Due to the Treaty of Farekson of the Citadel Council, which severely limited the number of dreadnoughts, the Asari could build three dreadnoughts for the humans and five for the Turks, who were responsible for the security of the Citadel...... Therefore, they humans have been developing obscenely, and on the surface, there are only six dreadnoughts?

However, as the saying goes, there are policies and countermeasures!

Although they did not dare to openly disobey the provisions of the Divine Citadel Convention, what about ...... Rubbing the edge ball or something, they still dare to try it! In the advanced language and written explanations of human beings, as long as they do not violate the express provisions of the law, they are reasonable and legal!

For example, building a whole bunch of 'armored transports' with dreadnought hulls?

Like those big guys, in addition to not having a main gun, the size, length, weight, etc., will not be worse than a dreadnought, as long as you install a spare main gun in an emergency, pull it out and it will be a dreadnought!

Although the Turks have protested before, there is no provision in the Citadel Convention that they cannot build transport ships of the same size as dreadnoughts, does it? The scientists of their Star Alliance were so lazy that they didn't want to redesign the hull of the new transport ship, what else could they do but make do with the dreadnought?

Of course, the number of 'transport ships' may not be too much, there should be dozens of them? After all, even if they did this kind of thing, they would have to save a little face for the Divine Citadel Council races, and it would be too ugly to explode hundreds of transports that looked exactly like the dreadnoughts.

"Forget it, I still don't count on you...... I suppose we Hero Federation may have to be prepared to fight alone? ”

"Ahem! This is not good news! ”

Galen shook his head knowingly, expecting too much more.

After all, what good can such a small fleet be in front of a powerful reaper? Perhaps, like those fleets on Earth, they will be shattered into meteorite fireballs that shatter and fall into the atmosphere in an instant, right?

“……”

"That, our Star Alliance's fleet is actually the third most powerful fleet in the Citadel Council race......"

Although it is true that the overall is not too strong, their Star Alliance can be said to be less than the top, and more than the bottom!

Otherwise, how could they have fought the Batarui who wanted to compete with humans for a colony in the first place, and had to retreat back into the Batarui system, and even had to protest with the stupid act of leaving the Citadel?

If there were no Reapers, their Star Alliance would indeed be the hegemon of the galaxy in the first place, except for the Asari and the Turks who fought with them, their Star Alliance would not be cowardly!

"Alas! That's it......"

"This matter, or leave it to Matt?? Horner, go get a headache, he's the Admiral! ”

Waving his hand, Galen does not intend to continue to entangle with the earthlings of this alien plane on this issue, anyway, their federal general staff did not expect them earthlings to play a big role, and when formulating the battle plan, the opponent's military strength has been excluded.

————————

The Arcturus space station is the headquarters of the Human Star Federation in Arcturus, which is responsible for guarding the frontier of the solar system and guarding the repeater connected to the Charon repeater!

It's just that at this time, this place is raging with tragic war......

Countless battleship wrecks floated in the Void Universe, including the destroyed beautiful blue and white battleships belonging to the Star Federation, and of course, the ragged black monster ships of the Reapers!

It was a silent war, and they couldn't hear anything except the glow of the various energies radiating from the windows and the roar of their own ships when they were hit, except for the nervous data reports of the crew and the orders of the commander in their battle channel!

Fierce battles are being fought back and forth......

Half a day ago, the Reapers cut off all of their communications, and had some of the Mass Effect repeaters jump into the solar system, presumably to raid Earth! And the rest of them have fought with the main force of the fleet stationed here until now!

Countless rays of light were shooting back and forth, and there was not much momentum other than the windows that kept shining on the ships...... This is the main theme of space warfare, in an environment where no sound is transmitted in a vacuum, except for the roar of their own warship firing the main gun or exploding instantly after being hit, they don't have to worry about too many abnormal noises that will interfere with them.

And at this point, Steven?? Admiral Hackett is leading the second, third, and fifth fleets and the garrison fleet of the space station to face the Reaper warships in the hundreds, and has been fighting until now!

In this chaotic battlefield, countless red particle beams, blue pulse energy, and mass effect projectiles that are fired at high speed, plus those anti-ship missiles are bombarding the enemy and our battleship shields back and forth!

From time to time, Star-Alliance's warships are blasted through shields and entire ships by Reaper's red energy particle beams, causing cruisers, frigates, etc., to explode and become pieces of floating garbage in the universe.....

At the same time, there are also a lot of Reaper warships that are equal to the length of the hull of those main gun weapons, which can accelerate a two-kilogram warhead to hundreds of kilometers per second at an interval of two seconds, and the kinetic energy of each warhead is equivalent to 38,000 tons of TNT-equivalent mass-effect projectiles to hit the hull fiercely, and then after the kinetic energy barrier is overloaded, the hull is broken through a hideous hole, and is soon turned into a motionless monster corpse floating in the universe by the ensuing explosion and dense accumulation!

At such a time, neither of us nor the enemy will have pity on the other, but they will try their best to strangle each other's enemies as quickly as possible! Whoever shows cowardice or retreats first will lose the battle and lose the battle......

"That's right! That's it, crush them hard! ”

"Attention fleets! We have a numerical advantage, and now we have reached eight to one! Each battleship is immediately dispersed and surrounded and immediately assigned combat missions, be sure to ask six to eight battleships to besiege one of them, and the wounded immediately retreat and wait for the shield to be restored! ”

"We're going to use the numerical advantage to kill their monsters!!"

Although the fleet suffered heavy losses, and although their warship shields could often only withstand a single blow from the opponent, under the outstanding command of Admiral Hackett, the Star Alliance's fleet was able to defeat those hundreds of Reaper fleets at a three-for-one exchange ratio, and was on the verge of total annihilation!

In Hackett's opinion, now, more than half of the casualties of the three fleets under his command will definitely be able to drive away or completely annihilate the other party, completely protect the Arcturus space station, protect the gateway of this solar system, and definitely not let more reapers, jump to the Charon repeater, jump into the solar system and threaten their home planet, Earth!

However, what they may not know is that after the communication was interrupted, the Reaper had already raided the home fleet and landed on Earth for the first time, and the upper echelons of the Star Alliance had already been killed......

"Not good! Detected the energy reaction of the Reaper ship's ship jump! ”

"Sir, it's not good, more Reaper ships are jumping from the repeater, there are a lot of them!!"

"The current number is one hundred...... Two hundred...... Three hundred...... My God! Their number is still increasing, and now it has reached more than a thousand!! ”

"Sir?!"

A radar intelligence officer suddenly stood up at Admiral Hackett on the flagship bridge in despair, and exclaimed in panic.

Originally, they had fought so far, and in the past half a day, they had already fought very hard, basically killing 500 enemies and losing 1,000 themselves!

But now, when they were about to annihilate the remaining less than a hundred Reaper warships, the other party actually came with more, and there were at least more than a thousand of them, how could they fight?!

“……”

Without being reminded by the radar soldiers, looking at the map of the battlefield, Hackett's face was now pale.

"Alas......"

Hackett knew that defeat was a foregone conclusion......

This time, they will definitely not be able to defend the Arcturus space station and this gateway to their solar system......

"Herald ......"

Taking a deep breath, knowing that he must not mess with himself, he gritted his teeth and resolutely prepared to give a new order:

"Let the Second Fleet ...... Let them press on with all their might, and be sure to get at least ten minutes of time! When the time comes, they can retreat on their own......."

"Command ......"

"The Third and Fifth Fleets immediately withdrew from the combat area with their flagships, and immediately prepared to enter the faster-than-light voyage, preparing to forcibly jump to the vicinity of the main star of Eden!"

"Command ......"

"Inform the Arcturus station, let them ...... Let them get out of the house now......"

With that, Admiral Hackett closed his eyes in pain.

Because he knew that whether it was the Second Fleet or the tens of thousands of military dependents in the Arcturus space station, they were all abandoned by him at this time.....

But he had no choice, and if he didn't, all of them would die! Now, if he can run one by one, as the admiral of the Star Alliance, he will always have to leave some family for mankind and the Star Federation. Now, they were facing an unwinnable war, and he had to do that.

As for the earth......

He doesn't dare to go back now!

Because, they have completely cut off communication with the earth for a long time, although he doesn't know what is going on over there, but he has a faint bad premonition......

Earth's native fleet will certainly not be the match for the hundreds of Reaper warships that have jumped past!

So, he planned to go to Eden Primary, which was still in intermittent communication with them, and then think about what to do next...... She had to think about what it would take to deal with the desperately powerful Reaper fleet!

"But sir!"

"The commander of the Second Fleet is your son...... And, part of your family is now ...... on the Arcturus space station."

Speaking of which, Hackett's adjutant did not dare to go any further.

Because, he saw the fierce and painful face of the admiral, who was staring at him viciously.

"Of course I know what I'm doing!"

"But, gentlemen...... You're also the Commander of the Syndicate, and as you can see, we don't have a choice right now! Or, we're all dead here...... Otherwise, we have to keep some of the power for the Star Alliance, for the human race......"

"That sentence is right: 'Bloody battle, horse leather shroud', that is the fate of our soldiers......"

"Now that sacrifice is inevitable, I will choose to start with my son, from my family! Then one day it will be our turn, and we can't back down......"

"So, go ahead, carry out the order, any more late, none of us can run!"

Painfully taking off his Starlink General's hat from his forehead, revealing his short gray hair, and gently wiping the Starlink emblem on the brim, Hackett sighed lightly.

Now, he has no choice......

“！！”

"Report!!"

"There is a powerful energy reaction in the rear of our fleet, and a super-large fleet is jumping over, and the distance is ...... The distance is one light second, and the identification code is ...... Unrecognizable?! ”

"Report sir! We are surrounded by enemies!! ”

Before the order to retreat and emergency retreat was heard, the technical officer in charge of the radar, the second lieutenant, shouted again in dismay!

On the interface of their battlefield radar, densely packed, at least tens of thousands of unknown red dots have appeared in the cosmic airspace behind them, completely cutting off their retreat!

Now, the result of the annihilation of the second, third, and fifth fleets of the Star Federation and the garrison fleet of the Arcturus space station is a foregone conclusion!!

“……”

"Hah! Ladies and gentlemen, it's been a pleasure to work with you......"

"Now, let's assault the Reaper forces in front with all our might! For the sake of the Starlink, for the ...... of mankind"

With a wry laugh, Hackett sat down directly on the captain's mount, supported his forehead with both hands in a dejected manner, and then gave his last order!

Well, now no one has to argue, because now, none of them can run!

Hackett knew that humanity was probably going to be doomed......

Having lost three fleets, they lost the power to counterattack...... In the face of those mighty reapers, perdition is already settlement!

“……”

'Zizi ......'

'Inform the Starlink fleet ahead!' ’

'We are the First Fleet of the Federation of Heroes of the Kprustar Sector!' At the request of Admiral Anderson, the supreme commander of the Star Federation, he has come to the aid of the Arcturus space station! ’

'We command you: Get out of the way at once!' ’

"Repeat! Get out of the way now! We'll be firing a salvo in thirty seconds!! ”

"Repeat......

More exciting, pay attention to the genuine!
