On the UT-47 drop-down shuttle landing craft lined up in a row, almost all the elite marines of Normandy 2, including Shepard, a total of more than 100 people, divided into ten teams to sit on a full ten landing craft, almost all the landing craft of Normandy 2 were used!

They are now approaching the ground as quickly as they are ready, ready to parachute into the largest Turkian military base on Menel's moon, to inquire about the whereabouts of the other clansman's chief and to consult about cooperation...... There is no way to do this, for some big things, the Turian ambassador of the Citadel can't be the master, and the one who has done the main thing is now losing contact due to the war, which is the real reason why Shepard and the others need to come here.

Through the windows, they could clearly see that the turrets, machine gun bunkers, fixed guard robots, floating cannons, and a large number of sentry guns and turquoise infantry at the Turkian military base below were shooting at the seemingly endless Reaper monsters.

Rumble!

Thundered......

Cannonballs, missiles, thunderbolts, pulses, red particle beams, and roaring cannonballs blast between the attacking and defending teams!

Da-da-da-da!

Sou! Sou! Sou!

The turquois' high-powered turrets were concentrating on attacking the giant Reaper Spider War Machines in the distance, while the smaller sentry guns were also frantically shooting and suppressing the Reaper monster soldiers with thick barriers, and the mass effect rifle bullets and energy pulses on both sides were smashing the frontline fortifications......

As for the corpse golems that are also rushing wildly, I don't know which hapless race they are made from, then the Turks hiding behind sandbags or metal barriers can only suppress and shoot with their guns.

However, it is possible that there are not too many Turks in this base, or it is possible that they are almost dead...... Therefore, countless corpse golems are now swarming up the cliffs that were originally easy to defend, constantly rushing into the base of the Turks, and fighting with the scattered soldiers of the Turks and the sentry guns inside the base.

'Report sir! ’

'The Turks have spotted us, and they have sent us an inquiry, could you please reply?' ’

At this moment, the voice of a certain pilot in the cab was heard in the combat channel.

“……”

"Tell them: we're coming from the Citadel, we're going to have an important conversation with their patriarch, and we're going to land on the flat ground outside the northwest corner of their base, so they don't miss it!"

Shepard looked out the window for a while, then calmly spoke in the channel.

Just now, through the Xuan window of the landing craft's hatch, she also saw that several large-caliber turrets had already pointed their guns towards them, but fortunately, they might have seen the conspicuous Starlink badge mark spewed out of their landing craft, so those turians quickly turned their guns back to deal with the army of reapers.

Their landing craft were much more recognizable than the monstrous flying machines that flew around the air and threw the Reaper soldiers!

"It scared me, I thought they might shoot us down just now!"

Miranda, of course, had seen the twin defensive turrets that were coming towards the landing craft in front of them, and she was almost scared to kick open the hatch and jump straight out...... Fortunately, those Turks were not blind, and in this chaotic battlefield, they could barely recognize the badge and logo of their Star Alliance, and if the other party bombarded them, they really had nowhere to reason.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Our Star Alliance is still an ally of the Turui now, and we are both members of the four councilor races of the Divine Citadel, how could the Turui attack us at this time?"

Shepard first checked the C-14 Gauss rifle in her hand to make sure that there was nothing wrong with the loaded bullet and the mounted light grenade launcher before she glared at Miranda, who was talking crazy.

Also shot down by artillery ...... The other party can say it!

They had come to reinforce the Turks, and although they hadn't been announced, it was impossible for anyone to fire at them after seeing the blue and white signs on the sides and bottom of their landing craft, right? Those Turks, they're not colorblind or color-weak!

Besides, their Star Alliance's UT-47 drop-down shuttle landing craft is so recognizable, and it looks exactly the same as the strange half-creature flying machines of those Reaper monsters flying in the air, how could the Turks casually admit it?

"Hah! Not necessarily! ”

"We were in the Divine Citadel a few days ago, and you also saw the hostile attitude of those Turui soldiers at our door at that time, if they were vindictive, what would be so strange about taking the opportunity to give us a shot?"

Miranda shrugged her shoulders and checked the P-45 rapid-fire Gauss pistol in her own hand in passing.

This is her second primary weapon, also from the Hero Federation's arsenal, and it's using that frantic U-238 'Hot Gun' round!

Basically, it only takes two rounds to take a Reaper Soldier with a shield or barrier, rather than a barrage of bullets to take off an enemy's shield like the Mass Effect pistol she pins to her waist, and then a few more rounds to kill an enemy completely.

However, the P-45 rapid-fire Gauss pistol also has a big drawback, that is, she can't carry too much ammunition, because that will seriously affect her agility and ability to run quickly...... So, in addition to this P-45, she also has an X-5E 'Phalanx' heavy pistol around her waist, and when necessary, when she runs out of ammo for the high-speed pistol in her hand, she simply throws it away and replaces it with a multi-purpose tool that can be replenished at any time.

“……”

"Everyone, get ready to land!"

Shepard turned his head and continued to tell the group to check their weapons and equipment one last time.

She didn't want to dwell too much on something about the Divine Castle, it was just a misunderstanding after all! Therefore, she firmly believes that as long as they can successfully save Turui's home planet this time, they will definitely completely change their opinion of the Star Alliance, the human race, and her Shepard and be grateful to Dade!

'Report sir! ’

'A large number of enemies have been found at the intended landing site, and it is necessary to temporarily change the landing place?' ’

At this time, in the cockpit with a wider field of vision, the pilots noticed that something was wrong with the landing site, and a group of Reaper soldiers in the gathering place below had affected the safety of their landing site.

However, before the landing craft with the conspicuous Starlink logo could get close to the ground and land successfully, the Reaper soldiers below raised their muzzles and fired into the air, and the pulse energy beam hit the hull of the landing craft, causing their landing craft to tremble and shake...... Then, the pilot who was operating the spaceship reported loudly in a bit of a panic.

Fortunately, the armor of the UT-47 drop-down shuttle landing craft 'Kodiak' and 'Battle Cockroach' of the Star Alliance has always been relatively thick, and the shooting of the ground forces of the sporadic Reaper did not succeed in taking down any of their ten ships! Otherwise, once they are really defeated, the fourteen elite marines crowded on each landing craft will be more than lucky!

"Ignore them!"

"Open the hatches on both sides of the landing craft and prepare to force a landing, and we will help suppress them!"

Click!

Shepard loaded his rifle, then put on his helmet with a cold face, stood up and walked to the hatch, and directly slapped the button of the hatch, allowing the hatch of the landing craft to slowly rise up from both sides. The landing craft has no weapons, but that doesn't mean that the crew members don't have weapons!

Anyway, the dozens of reapers below are actually not a problem for their elite marines with more than 100 people.

Dada! Dadada!!

With a single strafing shot, Shepard easily smashed the several gathered Reaper soldiers below, and then when the landing was about to land, she jumped from several meters in the field as the other landing craft were firing at the ground.

"That's it! Follow me, everyone, and find the patriarch of the Turks! ”

"Remember! Don't be in love, we're not here to fight the Reaper, our mission is just to find the Turkian patriarch and get him to accept the terms we negotiated with the Citadel! ”

Of course, Shepard, as the commander, has not forgotten their mission until now, and she herself knows that with their hundreds of people, they will definitely not be able to control the battle situation on this satellite, so she jumped down and rushed forward, while loudly stating the main mission of why they came to fight here this time.

Da Da!!

A large number of elite Star Alliance N7, S1 and other elite marines rushed out of the open hatches of the landing craft, they were armed with various weapons, and while shooting fiercely at the Reaper monsters around them, they did not forget to form a battle formation, hugging Shepard and pushing forward.

"Humph!"

Instigate! Instigate!!

Finally, Miranda and Little Anne, who jumped off the landing craft, had barely landed on their feet when three hideous Reaper corpse golems rushed towards them with their teeth and claws! Then, Miranda raised her hand twice, and after two muffled sounds from the pistol, the two monsters that rushed towards her instantly lost their heads, and their headless cyborg ugly bodies rolled directly onto the rocky planet's ground.

And the other one rushed towards little Anne, but she didn't care......

Because, she really wants to see how this little guy is doing with his marksmanship at close range, will he be scared and overwhelmed? She did it on purpose, who let the other party carry that long 20 mm caliber sniper? She had said many times that she would let that little guy bring a short gun to defend herself, but that girl was still too heavy?

Speaking of which, the two pistols she Miranda was carrying, together with the ammunition, probably weren't heavier than the exaggerated long weapon that the imp was carrying on his shoulder, right? Seeing that the other party is not having any difficulty carrying it, what does it matter if you bring another weapon? Besides, she knew that the imp had some kind of magical means to hide things, no worse than their universal tools!

'Howl~Roar!! ’

The hideous, ugly cyborg skeleton monster that looked like a walking corpse slammed into the little human with its back to it! It intended to use its strong and powerful hands to directly shred the other party, just like the Turkian soldier it had torn apart before.

Airplanes!

Swish!!

A red blade of light about half a meter long lit up on the arm guard of Anne's ghost suit, and then she didn't look at the corpse golem monster that pounced on her from behind, it was just a short movement, and then a bright light flashed and extinguished, and the corpse golem was directly cut in half diagonally by her diagonal attack and head.

"Hey!"

"Why is it this kind of monster again, can't they reapers change another trick?"

(҂ ̅▵ ̅). 【デ═一

Seeing that the monster that was neatly cut in half was still pulling the ground with one arm, trying to get to her feet and bite herself with her teeth, Anne pouted a little angrily, stepped forward, and directly kicked off the other party's skull head, making it roll like a ball and fly away for a long distance......

She thinks that it is really not interesting to fight this kind of monster, and if she really wants to fight, she should also find a bigger one?

In the distance, there was a giant Reaper Spider Monster, at least a dozen stories high, almost the same as one she had ever killed on Earth! However, it is a pity that the other party is suppressed by the turrets of the turreans in the distance, and she can't be relied on for a short time, and the weapons in her hand are a little out of reach.

"It's not this kind of monster, what else do you want to encounter?"

Miranda of the Reaper is almost familiar with each other, and that's all that comes and goes: the mighty and fast corpse golem, the self-exploding corpse golem, the fierce and powerful Asari Banshee, the ordinary Reaper soldier who can shoot, the giant monster that can charge, the stray harbinger who can open the shield, the troublesome guy who can spit out abilities, and so on!

And, of course, the giant steel spiders in the distance and the bigger octopus ships!!

"That's right, little Annie!"

"What is that weapon you just had in your hand? Looks like it's amazing? ”

The multi-purpose tools on the left hands of Miranda and Shepard can also activate pale yellow or golden mass effect energy blades, and in melee situations, they can easily break through the enemy's ability barrier or mass effect shield at low speed, so as to achieve the goal of easily killing the enemy!

However, they will not choose to do so unless they are forced to do so......

Because, the people who like to do that, the Adepts who claim to be the vanguards, they have the highest death rate in the entire galaxy, and there is no one! Therefore, if they can use their guns to deal with the enemy from a distance, they will never choose to go to melee combat, just like the blade in her hand, which is just the last tool of self-defense.

"I want to fight that kind of powerful, hideous, big monster, like the one over there!!"

(∩•̀ω•́)⊃-*⋆

Anne stretched out her hand and pointed straight to the farthest distance!

There, a giant Reaper Spider Monster was under the bombardment of the Turi, constantly firing red eye-edged particle beams, violently bombarding the front line of the Turui position, and over there, it seemed to be fighting very lively!

"That'......"

"Forget it, I'd rather it stay over there forever!!"

A big guy like that, it's terrifying to be combative!

Anyway, Miranda definitely doesn't want to face their kind of horror stuff that kills people if they are targeted! She'd rather fight a hundred, if not a thousand, of corpse golems than face off against that massive strategic war machine.

The kind of red laser beam in the opponent's head, even if the main battleship is close, can be knocked down, how can she, an ordinary infantry with a little ability, dare to die and approach easily?

'Miranda! Annie! ’

'You two guys, hurry up and don't get left behind!!' ’

At this time, before the two of them could continue to talk for a while, Shepard's roar came from the battle channel.

It turned out that at this time, their group of people had rushed to the front, and they were about to reach the gate of the core position of the Turks, and now little Anne and Miranda were left, standing alone at the end and still talking.

"It's coming! Here it comes! ”

-=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞ヘ( ́Д')ノ 【デ═一

Hearing that the big sister Shepard in front of her had begun to urge angrily, and then seeing that there was indeed no one around, and there were only a few empty landing craft left on the ground, little Anne hurriedly ran forward with a shout.

If she was fighting alone, then she might just be stealthy and lewd, so that she wouldn't get together with their stupid guys who can only trick people and drag them down!

She, the most powerful ADC in the Valoran world, is actually more suitable for junglers and one-man waves, so she doesn't like to go to the lane and team battles! Of course, she doesn't like to replenish troops or anything, she just likes to grab the head of that kind of monster that looks powerful!

"Roger!"

"I'm sorry, but I'm not looking after this little ghost...... Otherwise, how could I have been left last? ”

Instigate! Instigate!

Miranda also smiled and followed the little one, and from time to time she raised her hand to shoot the ugly corpse golems who dared to approach them and seemed to never finish.

She could see it, the corpse puppets...... Seems to have a little bit of a turbulent look?

It must have been improvised by the Reapers from the corpses of the Turui soldiers, such as the spike transformation tool used by the geth that they had seen before?

Although she didn't see those weird spikes on the battlefield, it is conceivable that since the geth's technology comes from the reaper, then the reaper's own original transformation technology will definitely be better and more efficient than geth's!

Thinking about it, those reapers, when they transform corpses into corpse golems, they don't need too much troublesome transformation procedures or those spikes?

"I don't need you to take care of me, I'm much better than all of you!"

(๐॔˃̶ᗜ˂̶๐॓)

"You little ghost, I just helped you kill several monsters!"

Miranda raised his hand and shot another corpse puppet who wanted to rush over to block the way, allowing the two to easily pass over each other's corpses and chase Shepard and the others in the distance.

"You're obviously robbing monsters!"

(｡ •ˇ‸ˇ•｡ )

As an assistant, is it reasonable to rob her of the ADC? She had just sent them over and was going to use a knife to solve them, otherwise, she would have been shot by Führer Anne.

"What monster grabber?"

'You two guys, stop making a fuss, hurry up and get here!!' ’

Shepard's voice roared again in the channel, causing Miranda to quicken her pace, grab the little one's arm with her free left hand and run forward......

————————

The Astral Spirit Gold Fleet of the Kpru Star Sector finally sailed between the orbits of Earth and Mars in this mass effect world, and huge golden or blue giant ships leaped from the space gate into the pitch-black cosmic space.

The number of this fleet is about 50,000 warships, large and small, and if you add the more than 30,000 battleships that mankind currently has, then it can be called a combined fleet of 100,000 ships!

The Golden Fleet is the main fleet of the Star Spirit Land, and those who come here occupy half of the strength of the Star Spirits of each system! It can be said that in this Heroic Federation expedition to the Alien Plane, the star spirits contributed the most, followed by those insect swarms who were about to be directly summoned by a little guy to the homes of various races in the Divine Citadel, ready to plague the reapers.

The reason why the Golden Fleet has such a title is because this huge fleet formed by the Archbishop of the Star Spirit Atanis and the El faction, its main warships are all composed of the golden appearance of the Star Spirit Mothership and the aircraft carrier, so a long time ago, their appearance was praised and feared by the humans in the Star Sector, and thus has been used to this day.

Actually, it is not the name 'Golden Fleet' in the name of the Star Spirits themselves, but when the Star Spirits established diplomatic relations with humans and exchanged languages, the name of the fleet was translated like this.

The Golden Fleet isn't actually all of those golden ships, in addition to the Star Spirit Carrier, Star Spirit Madonna, Storm Battleship, Retriguing Prism, and those large Phoenix Fighters that are golden or have golden shells, they also have a large number of Void Glow ships, Limited Ships, Storm Ships, and so on......

Although they are not all golden, after the Battle of the Brood, humans and Zerg used to call the fleet of the Star Spirits that, knowing that the Hero Federation was founded, this statement has always been like this, and has never changed.

And now, the flagship of this golden fleet is a giant ship with a golden shell and blue light shining like a huge space fortress with a length of 74.547 kilometers!

Its length is longer than the 44.7 kilometers of the Citadel Space Station, which is the largest and longest directly affected by Mass Effect, and wider than the 12.8 kilometers in diameter of the Citadel! Rather than a warship, would it be more appropriate to say that it was a giant space station? However, it is indeed a warship, a spaceship that can fight, move and leap at will!

Its name is called the Spear of Arden!!

The Spear of Adun is the flagship of Archbishop Atanis, and it can be said that it is a great masterpiece created by the engineers of Carlisle in the most glorious period of the Star Spirit! Of course, the energy required for such a giant ship is also terrifying! In fact, the engineers installed an artificial star in the core of the giant ship and used it as a source of energy.

“……”

"It's unimaginable......"

"Archbishop Atanis, are you really sure that it's really a spaceship of your astral spirits, not a space station?"

Accompanied by General Galen of the Federation Marine Corps, Archbishop Atanis of the Kale Star Spirit, and Thrandis, the high-ranking executive officer of the Kale Star Spirit, Admiral Anderson of the Earth Star Federation was like Grandma Liu who had entered the Grand View Garden, and his eyes almost didn't fall!

Originally, he thought that those human super battleships of the Hero Federation were strong enough, and any one of them could be stronger than the Asari's Destiny Transcendental! But now, after seeing the golden fleet of the Star Spirit, the aircraft carriers, the Madonna, and the utterly monstrous Spear of Arden, he didn't know what words to use to describe it......

If it is to build a space station that orbits stars or planets in orbit, they can barely build this kind of behemoth after more than ten years of hard work by the Star Alliance, regardless of the cost! But...... Like the other party, directly as the flagship of the fleet, it can also fly and fight with the fleet and leap ...... Then they human beings have tried their best, and they may not be able to build it in a hundred years!

"Of course, humans ......"

"The Spear of Arden is the pride of our Astral Spirits, and it was in the glorious era at the beginning of the Protoss civilization that our High Council of the Kale Astral Spirits approved and built this majestic ark ship...... These ships, self-sufficient, capable of sustaining the Protoss through the toughest of times, carrying legendary warriors and vast knowledge, are one of the most powerful warships in our Kproru! ”

"Even the Leviathan, the largest of the swarms, is only five thousand meters long at most!"

At this time, Thrandis, the high-ranking executive of the Kale Star Spirit, who was following on the side, spoke proudly and preemptively.

She was very satisfied with this human's amazement at their star spirit manufacturing technology and great strength, and the sense of superiority that she had not obtained among the star humans for a long time had been regained! So, she's happy to explain a couple more words for this human.

"A five-thousand-meter swarm battleship?"

"Sorry...... Even if it's only five thousand meters, our Star Alliance is far from being able to match it......"

If Admiral Anderson is not mistaken, the length of their largest dreadnought in the Star Alliance, it seems to be 1880 meters? Yes, that's true, it's really just 'meters', not kilometers......

"You don't have to feel ...... wandering"

"The Anderson of Humanity...... The Arden Spear is the masterpiece of our Star Spirit, and there are only three ships like it, so even if we are asked to rebuild it, we will be powerless......"

Seeing that the expression of this admiral of the Human Star Federation seemed to be a little depressed, Archbishop Atanis spoke out to comfort him.

"Three!!"

"Oh God...... You have three?! ”

A spirit, Anderson almost jumped on the spot!

He also thought that this kind of thing must be a killer feature called the Star Spirit Race in time, and it would be great to have one, and it would definitely not be mass-produced like those aircraft carriers and virgin ships outside, but who thought, the other party actually mass-produced, and there are three of them?!

"Of course!"

"However, only the Spear of Arden can be used for combat at the moment......"

Speaking of this, Artanis was also depressed, because he remembered the heroic Templars and his people who had fallen on the El.

"And why is that?!"

Anderson didn't make out the expression of the Archbishop of the Atanis Star Spirit, he still asked.

In fact, no one of the non-astral race could judge a star's mood by their expressions, as most of their faces and mouths were covered by armor, and he didn't recognize anything except a pair of eyes that glowed blue.

“……”

"Originally, we did have three Ark ships......

"The names of the three arks, the Spear of Arden, the Pride of Otaris, and the Memory of Nesin...... Among them, the Pride of Ortaris and the Memory of Nesin were shot down by the insects due to their hasty take-off when the Lord of the Swarm invaded our home planet El......"

"It wasn't until a few years ago that we started working on fixing them......"

"Even if there is the support of the resources of the entire federation, it will not be able to lift off and be put into use in the next few years."

Speaking of this, even Archbishop Atanis couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Originally, if it weren't for the fact that the Arden Spear failed to take off due to the conditions not being met, I'm afraid that now, this ark mothership of their star spirits can only continue to lie on the ground of the El, just like the pride of Otarith and the memory of Nesin, waiting for a long repair, right?

"I'm sorry, I didn't know about this, I hope you don't mind my offense?"

Anderson also heard that the other party was not in a good mood, so he quickly spoke out to comfort him.

"Actually, it's nothing ......"

"Peace has to be paid...... It is precisely the strife and sacrifice of the past that can better reflect the noble ...... of peace and reunification in our star sector."

Sighing, Archbishop Atanis said something that Anderson also somewhat agreed with.

“！！”

"Atanis! Is there anything strange here? Why do I seem to feel a faint wave of evil and chaotic power coming from within?! ”

As the four of them walked inside the massive Spear of Arden and chatted, Galen suddenly stood still and pointed to a chamber with energy crystals that had sealed the door and was guarded by several Templar fanatics.

The Spear of Arden, this giant ship, this is not the first time Galen has been here!

At the beginning, when he was fighting against the UED's miscellaneous expeditionary force, he didn't dare to say that he had been to every area of this ship, but he believed that in those years, he was very clear about most of the main areas on this giant ship, especially this military area!

However, he was sure that in the past, this place should have been a material warehouse......

But first, why was this place transformed into this, not only was it heavily defended and guarded by a team of the most elite Templars, but there were also faint rumors of some abnormal energy fluctuations that were obviously different from the Kale Star Spirit or the Nerazim Star Spirit?

"Galen......"

"It seems that Zeratul is right, your strength has improved again, and you are one step closer to breaking through the peak of mortals......"

The archbishop didn't explain immediately, but began to look Galen up and down.

Even, along with the high-ranking consul Thrandis beside the archbishop, was staring at the admiral of the Star Alliance Marine Corps with envious eyes.

"It's too early to break through or something! Tell me what good things you're hiding in there? ”

Galen wasn't the kind of person who was fooled by someone else's compliment, and he just wanted to know what was going on in this well-guarded barn?

“.…..”

"That's the ...... that our Star Spirit Research Base handed over to us, and let us bring it to Her Excellency Führer Anne."

"Forget it, it's a hassle to explain this, so let's just let you all come in and take a look...... With us people here, the guy in there can't make a name for himself. ”

Archbishop Atanis, who had been patiently trying to explain something, glanced at Galen and thought about his own and Thrandis' strength, so he simply took two steps forward and waved his hand to let the guards open the static stand cell that was woven by a web of psychic crystals, phase crystals, and energy.

When the gate, made of golden alloy and blue energy crystal partition wall, was opened by the guards with complicated formalities and secret orders and energy, they entered the small warehouse.

“！！”

"What the hell is this, it's dangerous, how the hell did you catch it?!"

Walking inside, he glanced at the half-human, half-fish on the left who was still holding a cold weapon spear and was locked in a static force field cage, Galen didn't care about it, but focused on looking at the fiery red hideous monster on the right who was also locked in a static position cage motionless, but the energy emitted was extremely powerful!

"They...... It was captured by our Star Spirit Secret Creature Research Base on a planet with turbulent space-time turbulence, and catching it hurt many of our elite Templars until we dispatched the Virgin Ship to bombard it...... We don't know where they came from, because there shouldn't be any of these creatures on that planet......"

"Originally, we Star Spirits wanted to dissect and dispose of them after the research, but ......"

After looking at the hideous red monster, with this red light on his forehead and a pair of bloodthirsty eyes, which seemed to be staring at his monster all the time, Archbishop Artanis guided Galen to look at the smaller half-human, half-fish monster on the left.

"But this guy ......"

"It reacted violently when it stumbled upon a holographic portrait of our Führer, and kept speaking in languages we can't translate......"

"So, our secret biological research institute commissioned us to bring them to this plane together, intending to show our Führer, who hasn't been back for many years?"

"I think she might recognize them?"

That's right, that's probably the way it is!

If it weren't for the fish-man-like creature reacting unexpectedly to the image of the Führer Anne of their Hero Federation, the two of them would have been dissected by the Astral Spirit's research base long ago.

"Then you have to wait for a while, our Führer is not easy to see......"

Shaking his head, Galen, who couldn't see anything, thought about it, but still didn't comment.
