From February 3, 2525 A.D., when the star of Fertility lost contact, to the present day of July 24, 2552, the all-out war between humanity and the powerful and warlike Covenant has been going on for nearly 27 years......

In the face of the overwhelming technology and huge military power of the Star Alliance, after so many years of hard work, the results obtained by the space fleet of the human beings on Earth are only written words that can barely hide their face, such as "retreat" and "heavy casualties".

By now, the top brass within the UNSC (United Nations Space Command) have gradually come to know that what is going on between humanity and the Star Covenant is nothing more than a contest of disparity in power, after all, human beings have spent too much time on the earth, and the time to enter the universe is too short, and the accumulation is seriously insufficient.

Therefore, the kind of results that have been achieved through these years of hard work are also clear and well known to them, perhaps, only the strategically important Zhiyuanxing, the fortress of the near-Earth colony known as the 'Gateway to the Earth', still exists, can barely bring a glimmer of hope of victory to mankind, right?

Of course, there is only a glimmer of it, and the UNSC itself knows that the situation is far from as rosy as the mere motivational words they have announced to the public.

However, when it comes to Zhiyuanxing, we have to talk about the solar system and the four heavenly yuan......

They are often considered sister galaxies, as Tianyuan Si in the constellation Bojiang is one of the closest neighbors of humanity's home galaxy, a planetary system only 10.5 light-years away from Earth, belonging to UNSC Zone 1, where many of the colonies of the United Earth Government are located, including Zhiyuan.

Zhiyuanxing, originally this is a very ordinary human near-Earth colony planet, with a day length of 27 hours, a full 390 Earth days in age, and the standard gravity is similar to that of the Earth, only 1.08g, and two satellites (Csodaszarvas and Turul respectively), with a population of more than 700 million, it is the most important military base of UNSC, and it is also the location of UNSC's headquarters and the largest space warship manufacturing site outside the solar system!

And all because it is rich in the raw metal 'titanium' of A-class titanium alloy, the main material used to make the armor of human space warships!

This is a thriving near-Earth colonization planet, where there is the main interstellar hopping point of the Pojiang ε, it is one of the most active interstellar transportation ports, and it also has the training base of the most elite ODST troops of the UNSC, a powerful aircraft carrier group with the "Trafalgar" super carrier as the core, and is equipped with as many as 20 planetary orbital defense platforms.

Therefore, due to the above reasons, there is such a saying among the humans and soldiers on the earth:

As long as Zhiyuan is still there, there is still hope for mankind, and once Zhiyuan is lost, I am afraid that the end of all human beings will not be far away!!

But now, whether humanity wants to see it or not, I am afraid that something that will soon worry humanity and UNSC will happen, and that is that the people of the Star Alliance have learned the coordinates of Zhiyuan through various means, and have appeared on this planet and attacked it blatantly!

……

At 26:00 on July 23, 2552, contact with the Visegrad relay station was lost, and all communication ceased at 26:00......

Colonel Holland had previously sent several fireteams to support, but soon the fireteam lost contact, so the 'Noble' noble team, consisting mainly of Spartan III fighters and a Spartan II bulky man, was naturally sent here to reconnoitre, and soon engaged in an extremely heavy exchange of fire with the Covenant forces they had discovered.

And the corpse-strewn outskirts of the Vesgrad relay station in front of her, as well as the Spartan warrior noble squad and the Covenant soldiers who were fighting bloodily at the gate of the relay station, were what little Anne, who had just come to this world and knew nothing about here, was seeing and hearing.

“……”

(，，????.????，，)

"Hmmm......"

??|??' -'??)

Because she didn't know what was going on, and because she didn't want to get involved, Anne quietly hid in the ruins of corpses and broken walls on the outer side of the gate of the Visgrad relay station, and from time to time her little head poked out of her hiding place, and kept aiming farther away, towards the fierce exchange of fire at the gate of the relay station, and also very boldly, little by little, as if trying to get closer, to see more clearly?

"Wow......"

|?? ˙?? ˙)？

"Huh? It turned out that humans were fighting with aliens? ”

|??)????！

When the fierce firefights and explosions and shouts in front of the gate of the relay station became more and more rapid and anxious, little Annie, who had infiltrated the skill MAX, sneaked a little closer after taking a look, and stood next to the corpse of an unlucky dead soldier who didn't know which one it was, and took advantage of the height of this comparative advantage to sneakily look at the firefight not far away.

(That...... Dear little master, may I ask, do you really plan to watch like this all the time, and are you not ready to help those besieged earthlings?

（?????? ）

- Seeing a certain wretched little master sneaking over all the way, muttering quietly to himself, only looking at the excitement, but having no intention of helping at all, Tibbs finally couldn't see it, and had to speak up and ask. ）

"Huh?"

∑(?? △｀)？！

"People don't want to go for the time being......"

(?? ˊ????????)??????

Scratching her head, little Anne said that the situation has not been reconnoitred now, and she is not from this world, let alone an earthling, so she does not intend to help either side of the two sides that are fighting indiscriminately.

(Why?) Dear little master, the little one knows, didn't you like to join in this kind of fun before?!

(???? `)

- Tibbs expressed some confusion about this...... Because according to its usual experience, when a bad little master encounters this situation, he has long been unable to recognize that he rushed up to help others blindly, or to cause trouble for others, and like now, it is still relatively rare to just look at the situation without doing anything. ）

“……”

(ˉ▽ ̄~) cut ~~

"Tibbs, that's because people don't know which side is the bad guy yet, what if you accidentally help the wrong person......"

(?????????? `; )

"Also, it's not good to intervene in other worlds casually!!"

(???????? -)??

Actually, Anne is not afraid of helping the wrong person, anyway, she has that kind of 'regret medicine' to take! For example: When the time comes, why don't you just do nothing and just eliminate all those who know? Or, just turn back the clock to a point before you do it yourself or something?

It's just that the reason why she has been holding back and not doing anything now is really just because she wants to see the excitement and doesn't want to interfere too much in the world. After all, it's not good for someone else to fight, and it's not good for her, an outsider, to intervene to help anyone, that's extremely unfair, so I have to continue to watch!

(But the little master, the gang over there is a human being, and they were killed so badly, it seems that there are no more alive left, and the other gang seems to be made up of all kinds of weird-looking alien monsters, and you can see at a glance that it is not a good thing, do you still need to tell who you need to help?)

Σ(⊙?? ⊙`)？

- Tibbs doesn't think that some bad little master who has always liked to judge people by their looks has the need to dwell on and think about such inconsequential things, because although the handsome ones may not necessarily be beneficial to this little master of his house, those who are ugly and make her look unpleasant will definitely not live long! ）

"Of course you have to tell!"

s (???? ˇεˇ????) ゞ

"Earthlings aren't necessarily all good people, and aliens aren't necessarily all bad people, maybe it's because these earthlings have invaded the alien planet, so people have to fight back?"

o(｀^??) o Hmph!

"Besides, Tibbs, look at it, those earthlings are so hot, the six of them didn't fall too far behind in a large group, they need help there?"

?? (?????? ~????) ╭??

Pointing and commenting on the two sides of the battle in the distance, Anne quickly came to the conclusion that the less crowded side seemed to be a little more powerful, because ah, their armor was stronger, more powerful, more agile, more accurate, and harder?

Therefore, it is not too difficult to imagine that although it seems that those weird-looking ugly aliens have the upper hand and are on the offensive because of the outnumbered numbers, those six elite warriors who are obviously Earth humans will definitely win the final victory!

At most, of course, it's just a little bit more time wasted...... Maybe it's ten minutes, maybe it's half an hour or an hour?

However, as long as there are no accidents, as long as those aliens don't find more helpers, the ending should be similar...... Well, Anne suddenly felt that it was better for her not to be in a hurry to comment lightly, because she saw that the aliens had actually flown in another troop transport ship and left a large group of alien soldiers behind, and by the way, she used fire to suppress the earthlings in the foyer of the relay station before staggering away.

If you look at it this way, isn't it true that aliens who are outnumbered and use attrition tactics have no hope of defeating at all?

（…… ）

(●￣(??) ￣●)

(Tiebs wasn't going to talk anymore, anyway, it wasn't familiar with those earthlings, and it couldn't make trouble with its little masters for those strangers, whether those guys were good or bad, or bad or bad, so what did it matter?) ）

“！！”

=???????? (?????? *)

Sou~!

Suddenly, those aliens in the distance seemed to have discovered that there was an abnormal life signal on Annie's side, and in addition to the fact that they had just killed a hateful human sniper who was sniping at them on this high ground not long ago, so, after discovering that there was actually a human with a probe probing here, they thought that the sniper was not dead yet, so they didn't even think about it, and a powerful high-powered thermoplasma blasted directly over.

Rumble!!

Although Anne narrowly retracted her head, the hyperthermic plasma bomb still slammed into the metal wall where she had just hidden and checked the battlefield, and exploded into molten iron slurry and molten muddy water splashing everywhere!

This is Anne herself, if it were someone else here, hiding behind her without armor, even if she was not killed by a direct hit, I am afraid that she would be scalded by those hot iron slurry and molten muddy water and rolled all over the ground, right?

But luckily, she wasn't afraid of those things, and at most she reached out and slapped them twice, shaking off the red, hot liquid metal off her arms and face.

But......

Although she was not hurt, the nature of some of the things seemed to her to be very, very serious!!

"Wow!"

!？ (??''????)??

"Good! No one tried to provoke them, they just looked at it here, and their bad guys dared to shoot at them?! ”

?? (?? ﹏??、)??

However, those aliens don't care about some nasty little girl's spit or loud defense, they just know that they are a big threat, and they are still in the critical position behind them, and there are guys who are not their own at the sniper position just now, and that is enough to make them nervous!

Thereupon......

Sou~! Sou~! Sou~!

Sincere! Sincere!

Rumble!!

In the next second, more high-heat plasma, crystal explosion needle puncture, and high-energy laser energy bombarded Anne's hiding side as if they didn't need money, and made a broken or molten hideous gap in the already dilapidated wall that could barely be used as a bunker, and the plasma and high-temperature liquid splashed Anne all over her body, and the gas and shock wave from the explosion shook Anne's hair to mess......

If she continues like this, I'm afraid that in a few seconds, the place where she is hiding will be shattered and blown to the ground!

"Damn! I can't spare you!! ”

?? (ψ??????) o【デ═一

After saying that, little Anne didn't dare to stay in this place any longer, she first grabbed the gun with a long barrel and a scope and a bracket next to the unlucky dead guy next to her, and pulled several magazines from the opponent's armor, and then directly dragged the barrel and turned around and ran.

Rumble!!!

In the next second, not long after Anne had just evacuated the sniper point, the wall and the unlucky soldiers who died there behind the wall were instantly completely blown up into a large pit covered with bits of molten iron and cement water by the high-explosive plasma of a certain plasma grenade......

‘……’

‘……’

Then, after discovering that the humans who were still moving behind the bunker could no longer be seen, and feeling that the threat behind them was completely solved, the aliens, some of whom looked like dogs and some of them looked like pigs, exchanged some of their words with each other, and then turned their guns again and rejoined the offensive operation against the powerful human soldiers at the door of the relay station.

“……”

─=≡Σ(((ヽ`д′)o

Anne is carrying the sniper rifle that may be heavy for the average little girl, maybe about 15KG, and is quickly groping and jumping higher and farther through obstacles and grass and other shelters, she is going to find a sniper position that is farther and more suitable, and then give the aliens who dare to attack her a good look?

(Dear little master, didn't you say you didn't want to get involved in the battle between those earthly humans and aliens?) And what about the sniper rifle you're carrying now? ）

(●￣(??) ￣●)

(Idle is idle anyway, and there is no real danger anyway, so Tibbs vigorously ridicules a certain unspeakable person, who has just said that he does not intend to interfere, but now he is busy picking up weapons and finding a place for the bad little master.) ）

"Humph!"

o(?? ^｀)o

"That's because, people now know who's the badass!!"

o ("▼ dish▼)o

Anne snorted, and then she quickly spotted a spot.

It was a little far from the battlefield behind, but it wasn't a problem, because it was high enough, the view was good enough, and there were many large and small piles of rocks, and those plasma bullets must be in the air to definitely not hit there, and even if they could hit, the power would be greatly reduced, so she decided to use that area as her first sniper position.

If the enemy can fight back or have other countermeasures, she will continue to run directly to the top of the mountain, anyway, she has a way!

(So how do you know which side is the real badass?) ）

(?????? `?? ）

(Although he already knew the other party's answer, Tiebs was still very cooperative and honestly followed the words of his bad little master and asked carefully.) ）

"Because they just hit me! So they're just a bunch of bad guys, people say they are, even if they're not!! ”

-=???????? =?????????? (`д′)??

Anne began to speed up, just carrying the sniper rifle she had picked up, deftly running and jumping between obstacles, and without anyone noticing, she successfully touched the first sniper point she had prepared for herself, and then directly pulled open the figure-eight bracket of the sniper rifle and concealed it.

（…… ）

(●￣(??) ￣●)

"Humph!"

(*?? ︶?? *)

"Come to your senses, crooked star-man villain, Ghost Agent: Anne Hasta, start fighting back now!!"

ε=ε=???????? (((???? Qu??)?? o【デ═一

Click!

After quickly figuring out the principle of this sniper rifle with scope, I don't know who the name of the previous owner was, and I don't know what model it was called, found its safety, excitation position, use skills, and the general use of the fully automatic scope, Anne 'clicked', pushed the bullet into loading, and completed the final preparations before sniping.

It's just that although Anne verbally said that it was a 'ghost agent attack', this time, she really didn't seem to plan to interfere too much in the world, and she didn't even summon thugs or armies indiscriminately, and she didn't take out the ghost suit and weapons in her space bag, and directly became a real ghost that disappeared without a trace and killed the enemy in the invisible horror ghost, but directly picked up the weapons dropped by others on the ground, ready to be a 'normal' little girl sniper honestly, and then give those crooked stars a fair chance to compete?

（…… ）

ε=(???? '●))) Alas

(After seeing that a certain little master of his own house just kept saying that he didn't understand the situation and wasn't going to do anything, but now he suddenly said that he would turn his face, and then found a position in a short time and pressed the bomb to load, ready to hit those aliens indiscriminately, what else could Tibbs do except sigh and mourn for the aliens who had poured blood mold for eight lifetimes?) ）

Da! Da! Da! Da!

Sou! Sou! Sou~!

Sincere! Sincere!

Thundered......

At this time, inside and outside the entrance hall of the main gate of the signal relay station, the five members of the Noble team, dressed in the finest MKV series Thorhammer armor, were in front of the gate of the Visgrad relay station, relying on walls, pillars, various obstacles and fortifications to fight the Covenant soldiers who were constantly besieging and consolidating.

The discovery of a small-scale infiltration force of the Star Alliance at the Reach Star, which is extremely important to the UNSC, and the fact that the other party also attacked the communication relay station and avoided the UNSC's reconnaissance, that kind of thing is undoubtedly desperate and terrifying when you think about it in detail!

However, the Spartan warriors of the Noble squad, who knew that it was useless to talk about it now, still gritted their teeth and fought bloody battles with those enemies who were at least ten times their number, and firmly guarded the gate of the relay station, buying precious time for Noble 2 behind and their companion Major Catherine to crack the defensive gate of the repeater.

‘？？ ’

'Sir! ’

'I just seem to have noticed that those Covenant guys seem to have organized a small offensive to attack them behind, what the hell is going on, is it our reinforcements coming?! ’

After smashing the head of a certain Covenant werewolf who had lost his shield with a single shot with the marksman M392DMR rifle in his hand, he retracted behind a sturdy metal pillar and reloaded the noble squad newcomer, the lieutenant with the service number 'B-312', the lieutenant in the military category '158A', and the lieutenant Noble 6 who kept his name and other information secret, then took the time to whisper to their captain Noble 1 and to the Lieutenant Colonel Carter.

He believed that he was not the only one who had seen the movement just now, so he couldn't help but hesitate a little, and felt that if reinforcements really came, then maybe they would cooperate with the other side and change their tactics of fighting the enemy outside the gate in time?

'No! ’

'We are the reinforcements, and until communications are restored, Lieutenant, believe me, no more reinforcements will come to our aid!' ’

'Don't get distracted and keep fighting!' ’

Da! Da! Da!

With the MA37ICWS submachine gun in his hand, with the rapid-fire weapon that the Navy calls MA5, he broke the legs of the two junior gnolls who were about to rush in with energy shields, and made them fall to the ground The moment they lost the cover of the shield, and after a few shots to kill them neatly, he quickly retracted and replaced the magazine while recovering the shield.

Just now, he also focused on the rank of 'lieutenant' of Noble No. 6, signaling a new 'thorn' not to be distracted on the battlefield, not to make his own claims or say things that might affect the morale of the army because of any changes.

After all, they are now in a passive defensive state, and they are still compressed in this small terrain, which is already very disadvantageous for them Sparta! And if it weren't for the fact that this Zhiyuan Star is their UNSC territory, I'm afraid that the enemy's bombardment would have arrived a long time ago and killed them, right?

'Good sir! ’

'It's not moving now, I think maybe some hapless guy was discovered by the Covenant guys......

Shrugging his shoulders and waiting for the strength of his shield to regain strength, Noble6 leaned out again, risking being hit by enemy plasma bullets at any moment, and once again used his M392DMR marksman rifle to shoot at the Covenant Fragments in front of him, short and accurate, and fiercely suppressed the Covenant soldiers who wanted to rush to the repeater gate with their numerical superiority.

Maybe! ’

Captain Carter didn't say much, just answered casually, and then continued to concentrate on the fight.

Now that there are a lot of enemies outside, and the other side has already transported two batches of soldiers, presumably, there must be some large-scale infiltration troops or bases in the vicinity, right? Therefore, Carter is now more worried about completing the mission, entering this relay station and repairing the communication, and reporting the situation here to Colonel Holland!

Because, this is a 'cold winter'!

So, no matter what, even at all costs, even if all of their team members die here, this important discovery must be transmitted back as soon as possible!!

‘！！ ’

Not good!

'It's the elite! Emir be careful!! ’

Suddenly, Captain Noble No. 1 Carter's heart trembled, and as if he had discovered something, he hurriedly roared not far to his right.

Because he had already seen from this position, a blue armor, a helmet with short wings on both sides, and a multi-layered arm armor structure of the Covenant ordinary elite didn't know when it deftly flipped off from the outside of the ceiling of the foyer of the relay station, and immediately brandished the forked energy lightsaber in its hand, ready to rush towards the emir who was changing the shotgun?

And at this time, he Carter himself is changing the magazine, even if he wants to help, it is obviously too late! And the closer Noble6 was aiming and shooting outside, and the cunning Star Covenant elite who didn't see the sneak attack at all was obviously too late to come to the rescue?

Therefore, at this moment, he really couldn't do anything except shout in a daze, hoping that the emir, who was changing ammunition, could dodge by himself or deal with it for three or two seconds to buy them a little time to counteract.

Sou~!

Burst!!

??

Suddenly!

A sound of breaking through the air came suddenly, and then, before the elite of the Star Covenant could stab the energy lightsaber in his hand into the neck of the Noble No. 4 emir, its head was shot through the weak spot of the back of the head, from the outside of the foyer, and directly pierced through the Celestial Spirit Cover, bursting out a large pool of liquid of various colors mixed together in an instant, and then rolled down into the foyer of the relay station, curled up there and motionless......

'Hah! ’

'Emir, you are so lucky!!' ’

Noble No. 5 George, the first warrant officer, service number S-052, the only Spartan II soldier in the squad, the big man with the heavy machine gun taunted and rejoiced at the careless Emir before hurriedly firing the muzzle of the M247 heavy machine gun that he had just withdrawn to help outward, steadily suppressing the Covenant miscellaneous who wanted to rush in while the chaos was coming.

Sincere! Sincere! Sincere! Sincere!

Soon, the dull heavy machine gun gunfire rang out again, and under the strafing of the large-caliber and high-kinetic machine gun shells, another round of assault of the Star Covenant was quickly suppressed, and it had to retreat again after leaving a few corpses behind.

'This should be ......'

'The 14.5x114mm AP-FS-DS shell-shedding wing stabilized armor-piercing projectile, in terms of sound and projectile penetration, should have been fired within 400 to 600 meters, and the bullet was fired from the shield energy separator that was less than one square centimeter behind the elite helmet, and it rolled inside and broke through the armor, accurate and deadly! ’

'That's the SRS99 special purpose rifle 14.5mm caliber sniper rifle, it should be a universal model is SRS99SAR!' ’

'Sir! ’

'I think we're really here for reinforcements!' He or she was right behind the enemy, probably near the halfway up the hill more than 400 meters directly in front of the gate, and he or she must have been an experienced sniper with excellent marksmanship! ’

Noble No. 3, Jun, Second Class Warrant Officer, Service Number A266, Spartan III Soldier, using a sniper rifle, is also a veteran sniper, he is extremely sensitive to the sound of sniper guns and bullets, he judged the above information at a glance from the shooting effect and the direction of the enemy's blood just now, and reported to the captain of Noble 1 for the first time.

'Sir! ’

'You see, I was right, we're here to help!' ’

As a former lone ranger, and a newcomer who hadn't fully adapted to his position, Noble 6 shrank back when he saw Noble 4's Emir relenting and attacking again, and continued to regain his shield and reload, while still teasing their captain a little.

'Humph! ’

'I saw it! Noble No. 6, shut up! Keep attacking, cooperate with that guy, don't let those Covenant guys rush in or rush to the opposite hill, and drag them all in this open space first! ’

'And, Noble 2, could you please hurry?' ’

As the captain, Noble No. 1 Carter ignored the newcomer's ridicule, and didn't care about the other party's behavior that undermined his captain's authority, but just coldly opened his mouth and urged Noble No. 2 impatiently.

Then, without waiting for Noble 2 to answer, he directly leaned out of his body again, and used the submachine gun in his hand to shoot violently outside, knocking out a gnoll blue energy shield soldier who was facing away from him in one fell swoop.

'Understood! ’

'Lieutenant Colonel, don't rush, I may need a little more time......

Noble No. 2 Catherine didn't pay attention to the people behind her, whether it was the battle or the urging of Captain Carter, or the reinforcements that came or something, she just replied lightly, and then concentrated on continuing to do her job, hiding in the corner that was relatively safe and would not be shot by the Covenant soldiers outside, cracking the door of the relay station that should belong to them UNSC.

‘！！ ’

Bang!!

After firing a shot, Noble3 and the sniper of the squad shrank back.

'Huh! ’

'Guys, I just found out that guy, that sniper, he or she fired three shots in quick succession, all from the back of the enemy's head or from the weak part of the shield in the neck, so that the enemy's shield was completely useless......

'So sir! ’

I'm afraid I'll have to take back what I just said, it may not just be an experienced sniper, it must be a ruthless ace sniper, this time, I think we really won!! ’

Noble No. 3 had just secretly noticed that the other party, the guy who was hiding on the mountainside in the distance, didn't know where it was, fired a total of four shots, including the elite of the Star Covenant in their foyer, none of the shots missed, and none of the shots were used in vain to consume the enemy's shield, so he quickly smelled an unusual smell from the other party's performance, and shrank back and said with a sigh.

Not to mention other abilities, in Noble3's opinion, just the ability to snipe, he himself is a big step behind the other party! That guy, the sniper who doesn't know if it's a man or a woman, whether it's old or young, must be an amazing existence.

Moreover, there is a powerful sniper striking the back of the Covenant from a distance, and they Spartan warriors are pinning down the enemy in front of them at the same time, in such a situation, they may not be able to lose!

'Look! ’

The Covenant people found out, and they began to divide their forces to attack the mountain! ’

'It's useless! It's too far away, and they won't be able to rush through without heavy equipment support, so they're just looking for death! ’

'Humph! Well Dead!! ’

'Huh? ’

You see, four more shots have killed four, and now all the Covenant minions have to stop! ’

'No one would dare to launch an attack in the open under the sniper fire of enemy snipers, not even us Spartans!' ’

'It was a nightmare......

'Less nonsense! Fast! Take the opportunity to hit them in the back! ’

Da! Da! Da!

Captain Carter once again snorted at the cheap and well-behaved team members, and took the opportunity to poke out half of his body, and knocked the two Covenant gnolls in the distance who didn't know which side to defend with their energy shields to the ground.

‘！！ ’

'Hahaha! Joyfully! Eat me a shuttle!! ’

Sincere! Sincere! Sincere! Sincere!

Noble No. 5 George also found that there was an advantage to be taken advantage of, so he took advantage of his heavy machine gun and fired a strafing shot that killed or wounded the enemy who was planning to attack the distant high ground and retracted again into the pile of cargo and vehicles that could barely hold off on either side.

'Noble 5, be careful to save bullets!' ’

'Understood! Sir! ’

‘！！ ’

'My God, it's already the third magazine, twelve rounds to solve twelve enemies, guys, guess who he or she is? ’

'I don't know! ’

'Could it be some guy in Phase 2 or Phase 3?' ’

'No kidding, how could those guys come to Zhiyuan and be deployed with us to this relay station?' There are a number of Spartan warriors here in Zhiyuan, and we can't not hear the wind at all! ’

'Shut up! Noble No. 6! ’

‘……’

'Oh! My God! Four enemies again, is he (she) really a sharpshooter with every shot? Was it Colonel Holland who brought us the rescue? ’

'Colonel Holland doesn't know where we're now, I haven't fixed the communications yet!' ’

Suddenly, perhaps it was the shouting of the crowd that disturbed Catherine No. 2, she stopped her work and coldly turned back and added.

'Oh! My God! You've all seen it, right? That's the twentieth one, who the hell is he or she?! ’

'Shut up!!! ’

‘……’

"Guys, maybe he or she alone can easily kill all the Covenants out there without us doing anything, you see, they're all hiding now. ’

'Maybe you can't kill ......'

Why? No. 3, this is our UNSC's Reach, and there is no way for their Covenant guys to infiltrate and call for bombardment to deal with snipers! ’

Because, no one will carry so many magazines, and I usually only carry eight magazines when I wear Thor's hammer armor, and counting the gun, there are a total of thirty-six 14.5x114mm AP-FS-DS shell-out wing stabilized armor-piercing shells! ’

‘！！ ’

Wouldn't he or she have less than twenty rounds of ammunition left? ’

'Maybe less, maybe there's only one or two magazines left!' If he or she had the same Mjolnir armor as we did, he or she might have brought a little more, if not......

What would have happened if he hadn't, Noble 3 didn't say, because he was confident that his companions would know what he meant.

'Well, maybe our support will soon run out of ammunition, and he or she won't be able to support us at that distance with a Magnon pistol. ’

'That's bad news, maybe he/she will be able to carry an ammo box to the battlefield next time?' ’

'Noble 6, you're so humorous! ’

'Haha! ’

'Humph! ’

'Shut up! ’

'Noble 5, you are here to provide fire support and protect Catherine, and the others will rush with me, take this opportunity to destroy them directly!' ’

Finally, after seeing that the aliens outside were beaten to the point that they did not dare to show their heads at all, and did not dare to continue firing, and the entire battlefield fell into a terrible silence because of the sniping of one person, and then looked at the nearby sky without the figure of the enemy's transport ship, and felt that the time was not lost, and also felt that it should not wait until the powerful 'reinforcement' bullets ran out before making a move, Noble No. 1 Carter hesitated for a while, and after seeing that Catherine had not been able to crack the gate, he resolutely decided:

Taking advantage of the fact that the helper of himself and others still has bullets, and taking advantage of the opportunity that the enemy does not dare to open fire and dare not show his head, he rushes out directly, fights a small counterattack, and then strikes inside and out, striving to destroy those enemies who may have less than thirty or forty enemies left in one go before the new enemy comes, and then take the opportunity to trim it?

'Understood! Sir! ’

We should have done that a long time ago! ’

'Head! Let's do a big job, kill the Covenant minions! ’

Soon, under the leadership of captain Noble No. 1 Carter, except for Noble No. 5 George, whose weapons are bulky and not suitable for charging, he had to stay behind to provide cover and look after Noble No. 2 Catherine, who was concentrating on cracking the gate, Noble No. 3 Jun, Noble No. 4 Emile, and a rookie thorn Noble No. 6' Lieutenant Nameless, so he shouted yes, rushed out of the foyer and began to cooperate with a sniper in the distance who was beyond their imagination, and launched a counter-charge against the Covenant soldiers who were at least a few dozen people with the firepower of four people!

Da! Da! Da! Da!!

Boom! Boom!

Da! Da! Da!

Bang!

The aristocratic squad fired wildly and violently, causing the angry and terrified Covenant soldiers to show their heads out of danger or emerge from their bunkers and prepare to resist!

However, under the terrible blows of a sniper in the distance, who did not know where to hide in the mountains, and with some of their plasma weapons out of reach of the enemy and unable to call in battleships or heavy fire support, their resistance was quickly suppressed again.

finally

After a fierce and short few minutes of fighting, with the perfect cooperation of the four Spartan warriors of the noble squad and a certain quasi-stunning sniper in the distance, the last jackal holding a red shield outside the relay station just wanted to raise the plasma pistol in his hand to shoot, but a bullet from a distance accurately shot through the edge of the opponent's shield that exposed a little gap and exploded the ugly head, and the battle finally stopped temporarily at the gate of the relay station of Zhiyuan.

‘……’

'Report sir! ’

'We've wiped out all the enemies outside!' The enemy seems to have given up on the intention of continuing to increase troops for the time being, of course, maybe they have no troops to send at all? ’

Looking towards the hill where it was, looking at the pile of rubble, he still didn't find the exact location of his helper, nor did he see the other party stand up, and even the Thorhammer peep eyepiece didn't show the actual location of the other party, but he could roughly judge that Noble No. 3 Jun was in the pile of stones that had just been strafed indiscriminately by the Star Alliance's people, and after a while, he reported loudly to the captain who came over.

He observed that the other party had changed several sniper positions one after another just now, so now he could only roughly judge the other party's position...... Especially now that the place is extremely chaotic by plasma bullets, even if you use infrared or life detectors, there is no way to find each other.

'You must be scared, right?' ’

'I just saw their troop carriers, but they just turned around and flew away......

Noble 6 felt that the people of the Covenant were not stupid, and that it was natural for them to retreat when they saw that there was not much hope for continuing to increase their troops, and that it would be extremely detrimental to them to make a big deal here.

However, it seems that it is useless for them to retreat or not, because they already know that there is a Star Alliance on Zhiyuan Star, and I believe that it will not be long before the UNSC command will know sooner!

'Hmmm! ’

'Excellent! Catherine has opened the doors, and let's move on! ’

'Wait! Sir? ’

'Noble 6, do you have any questions?' ’

'Of course! What about the guy out there who helped us? He (she) seems to be very powerful, maybe bringing him (her) can help us a lot? ’

‘……’

'There's no time, let's wait until the mission is completed and the enemies inside are destroyed! ’

'Huh? ’

'All of them, keep going!' Enter the relay station!! ’

'Yes! ’

'Yes sir! ’

'Yes! ’

‘……’

Because of the mission, Noble No. 1 Carter didn't say anything more after killing all the Covenant scum in front of the gate, just turned his head to look at the halfway up the mountain where he was, and then waved his hand and let his team members follow into the bunker of the relay station.

Now that the Covenant people are here, and they are still on Zhiyuan, or without all of them knowing, so, in order to prevent the UNSC from continuing to mistake a group of rebels for trouble, it is better for him to hurry in and take a look inside, and then try to get Catherine to let him talk to his boss, Colonel Holland, that is the most important thing!

As for the rest, like the sniper who doesn't know who it is, I'll have to wait until they get out of the bunker at the relay station.

"Huh?"

=???????? (?????? *)

"Tibers, how can those guys be spicy, but they have done them a great favor and knocked out all the crooked stars, and they can't even say thank you?!"

=???????? (??????????????) None—= ???????? (??????????????) ━!!!

Seeing those people actually pat their butts and walk into the bunker where they took out the relay station, Anne was a little dumbfounded, and she didn't know what those guys were thinking, so she was a little angry in her heart, so she threw away the weapon in her hand, and climbed into the grass with a muffled face, and didn't come out.

Because, she decided, if they didn't come to thank her properly, not to praise her properly, not to invite her back and offer her good food and drink, she would ....... her ....... well, she would do nothing, and she would not pay attention to those people, and go somewhere else to play!

（…… ）

(●￣(??) ￣●； )

"It's really ......"

（?????????? ）

"It's really rude to have someone like that......

?? (?? ﹏??、)??

(Dear little master, if they don't come, won't you go down by yourself?) Anyway, there are no aliens out there to fight, so why don't you go to that building yourself? There's a lot more out there, and that's enough to keep you entertained for a while.

?? (ψ｀?? ′)o

- If those earthling warriors thought that everything would be all right when the aliens out there were killed, then they couldn't be more wrong! Because Tibbs had found it after a scan, there were a lot of aliens hiding inside, in addition to some of the survivors, and if they weren't careful, they could capsize in the gutter! ）

"Don't go!"

o(?? ^｀)o

"Because people don't have bullets!!"

o(｀^??) o Hmph!

(There are a lot of weapons down there, rifles, submachine guns, sniper rifles, howitzers, and those alien plasma guns, why don't you just pick one up?) ）

??????????

"Don't pick it up!"

（?? ╭╮?? ）

"People are not happy now! People don't like to change guns! ”

???? (??????????????)????????

(Report to the little master, the little one found a whole box of sniper bullets in the overturned military vehicle compartment next to the gate below!) ）

(lll￢?? ￢)

"Tibbs, shut up for me!!"

?? (?? `^????)??

(So be it...... ）

ε=(???? '●))) Alas

I don't know how long it was, maybe ten minutes, maybe an hour?

Anyway, the gunfire in the bunker of the relay station in the distance gradually stopped, and after a bad little girl got angry inexplicably and lay down in the grass and continued to wait, unwilling to come out or help, and gradually fell asleep, when more UNSC reinforcements got the information and rushed to support them in Warthog reconnaissance vehicles, Scorpio main battle tanks, Fighting Falcon helicopters, and a Pelican transport plane, the six Spartan warriors of the noble squad, Only then did they come to this place in confusion, and they chose to ignore the halfway up the mountain because of the mission.

'Sir! ’

'He or she was still there, motionless......

‘！！ ’

'Is it injured or dead?' ’

'I don't know, but I'm sure I'm not dead, because I seem to be hearing a slight breathing, and the life detector shows that he or she seems to be fine?' ’

'Maybe it's hurt, Noble 6, go over and see, what's going on with him or her?' ’

'Yes! ’

Finally, seeing his companions waiting for him to reveal the mystery, Noble No. 6, who was also a little apprehensive in his heart, had to shrug his shoulders helplessly, and then dragged the heavy, thousand-pound Thor's hammer-powered assault armor to the halfway point of the mountain, which seemed to be a little steep, with difficulty.

'Hey! Buddy! ’

'Don't lie on your stomach, the battle is over, our reinforcements are coming, do you need any help?' ’

'Hello? ’

‘HELLO？！ ’

‘……’

Noble No. 6 asked tentatively before he walked in, but to his surprise, he changed to two earth languages he was familiar with, and also answered in Chinese and English respectively, but the other party was still motionless and hid in the hidden grass?

'Are you hurt?' ’

So, after thinking about it, he felt that the other party might really need his help, otherwise Noble No. 6, who would not have been lying here for so long, took two steps forward again, and reached out and gently picked up the grass......

‘？？？ ’

'Noble 6, what's going on?!' ’

'Lieutenant? ’

'Is there a situation?!' ’

'What the hell is going on?' ’

Seeing that Noble No. 6 froze in place in an instant after picking up the grass, thinking that the other party was being held hostage with a gun or other weapon by someone hiding there, the rest of the team members vigilantly touched the weapons on their backs and asked out loud.

Although they didn't feel the need for the other party to embarrass them, and they didn't think that there would be any conflict with the arrival of the UNSC army, they must have been a little nervous when they saw their team members behaving abnormally.

'Don't be nervous......'

'I'm not in danger, put my weapons away, it's my own.' ’

After a long time, Noble 6 slowly straightened up, and waved his hand to signal his teammates behind him not to be too nervous, let alone touch the weapon directly, and acted as if he was about to shoot and fight.

'Noble 6, what the hell is going on?' ’

'He/she's dead?' ’

'Man, you're scaring us to death! ’

'Humph! ’

‘……’

After hearing Noble No. 6's words, seeing the other party's re-relaxed movements, and even starting to take off the helmets of the armor, the members of the noble team relaxed again and asked very dissatisfied.

'I can't say it either, anyway, ......'

'Forget it! Captain, and everyone, let's take a look for yourself! But you'd better be lighter? ’

Noble No. 6, who spread his hands and didn't know what language to use to express his complicated feelings now, finally didn't say anything, just gave way to the side, and motioned for his companions to come and have a look for themselves.

'Noble 6! What the hell are you doing?! ’

As the captain of the team, Noble No. 1 Carter strode up very dissatisfied, and then soon, when he saw the scene in front of him, his eyes instantly widened, and then his body froze directly in place like Noble No. 6 just now.

'What a mysterious ......'

‘！！ ’

'Huh?! ’

'This ......'

'My God! ’

'Is this true?!' ’

Soon, the other members of the noble squad, Catherine No. 2, Joon No. 3, Emile No. 4, and George No. 5, all ran up curiously, and after surrounding the grass between the two large rocks, they all exclaimed in disbelief what they were seeing!

Because, they saw that the amazing sniper who was still 'ambushed' here was surrounded by them now, the sharpshooter who hit a hundred shots, and the Star Covenant troops who could beat hundreds of people with the power of one person and one shot, and finally killed nearly forty enemy soldiers, and helped them successfully sweep away the enemy's 'reinforcements' outside the gate, turned out to be a blonde girl who looked no more than seven or eight years old, with a slightly open face, holding a stuffed toy bear in her arms, and was sleeping heavily?!

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the SRS99 special-purpose rifle was still sitting in front of the other party's head, surrounded by one or two empty magazines scattered on the ground, and there seemed to be some traces of gunpowder smoke on their faces, no one would believe this kind of thing, right?

‘……’

'Sir! ’

'What are we going to do now?' ’

After seeing that his companions did react exactly as he had imagined, Noble6 smiled and asked their superior, Lieutenant Colonel Carter of Noble 1.

‘……’

Lieutenant Colonel Carter didn't speak, but slowly took off his helmet in silence.

'Huh! ’

'I can't believe that I, the elite Spartan sniper, can't even match a little girl......

Noble No. 3, Jun who is also a sniper, looked at the other party's weapon that was the same as his own, and then looked at the little girl who seemed to be asleep due to fatigue or other reasons, he didn't know what to say.

'My God! ’

'Today must be April Fool's Day!' Our Spartan squad has been given a little girl for a long time? This kind of thing will definitely be embarrassing to say it! ’

Today is July 24th, 2552, and it's not April Fool's Day! ’

‘……’

'Guys, I bet she's got to be a shooting genius, the self-taught kind!!' ’

'Shut up! ’

'Okay......

'There's no more movement in the vicinity, and here and there are once her sniper spots, and the location is so small that only someone of her stature can hide in it......

Pointing to the two grass nests in the distance, where there were obvious traces of someone pressing them, Noble No. 3 Jun sighed, and then, along with the others, turned his head to look at their commander, waiting for the other party's order.

‘……’

'Catherine, go wake her up, be gentle, and ......'

'Forget it! Let's just bring it back first......

Originally, Lieutenant Colonel Carter wanted to ask about the other party's situation and try to find the other party's family or something, but he felt that it was too pity for such a little girl sniper to be left in the people, so he thought, it is better to bring it back to the base?

Anyway, it's a big deal to return it to the other party's family when the time comes.

'Humph! ’

'I've always been gentle! ’

After speaking, Major Catherine of Noble No. 2 directly took off his helmet, stuffed it into the hand of No. 3 next to him and asked the other party to help hold it, then gently stepped forward, and squatted beside the little girl who was still asleep, stretched out his hand, which was still intact, and gently pushed the golden hair scattered on the other party's cheeks to the other party's ear, and finally looked at the other party's quiet and innocent pretty face......

‘......’

Just looking at this innocent and lovely little face, for some reason, Catherine's heart couldn't help but touch slightly, because, somehow, she faintly had a strong urge to protect the other party?

However, she quickly suppressed the emotion that she shouldn't have, and instead tried to pretend to be gentle, gently pushing the other party's small shoulder.

'Hey! ’

'Little one, get up.......
