Chapter 22: A New Threat

Because in the face of the large-scale counteroffensive of the human army, the unexpected Star Alliance's expected strategy of quick victory has been completely bankrupt. The two sides of the pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info launched a series of fierce battles in many galaxies.

Although the scientific and technological strength of the human army is still far behind the current Star Alliance. However, the opponent's will to fight is getting stronger and new weapons are being introduced, and the Covenant army can no longer unilaterally sweep through the human colonies as they did where the war began.

Such a protracted war is absolutely undesirable for the Star Alliance, especially the Star Alliance's high-level leaders who started the war. Because of the continuation of the war in Shifen, there were serious disagreements.

The Star Covenant was originally a political-military alliance composed of many different alien peoples with strong religious worship. There are many races in it, and the Prophets, who advocate waging a war of extermination against humanity, are just one of the two largest forces.

The elite group responsible for the Covenant's foreign military operations has been secretly at odds with the Prophets. And during the years of war with humanity, they admired this race for its stubborn resistance to the Covenant army.

Therefore, the elite also proposed to absorb humans into the Star Alliance. Unfortunately, this proposal was vetoed by the three prophets with ulterior motives, and thus led to a brutal battle in the following years.

And now that the war between humanity and the Star Covenant is not optimistic, there are already many races within the Star Covenant that have begun to express doubts about the ruling ability of the three prophets.

Among them, the elite clan is the most prominent, and they have long been dissatisfied with the Prophet clan's dominance of the Star Covenant for many years.

And because of the poor war situation in the past few years, the forces such as boar beasts and gnolls within the Star Alliance have also begun to be dissatisfied with the strategies formulated by the prophets.

In order to consolidate the authority of the prophets, the three prophets had to find a way to defeat the great enemy of mankind and reassert their authority.

So the prophets began to focus on the relics of the Precursors, after all, the establishment of the Star Alliance was developed by relying on the technologies of the Precursors.

The Prophets were confident that by rediscovering the Precursor ruins, they would be able to find a way to increase the Covenant's combat power. Because the technology of the forerunners is the most powerful in their impressions.

Today, on a planet controlled by the Covenant, a task force that has been tasked with is unlocking a Precursor ruin.

Because the planet is under the absolute control of the Covenant, there are not many troops stationed here. After all, in the war with humanity, the vast majority of military forces are sent to sensitive areas on the front line.

"Sir, the ruins can be opened at any time. Are we acting now? An elite in a blue armored suit asked another high-level elite. The other party is the top leader of the task force, so his opinion must be asked.

In fact, this force of the Star Covenant basically does not have much hope of finding more advanced Precursor weapons in the ruins.

Because according to the experience of the Star Covenant over the years, there are not many items found in the Precursor ruins that can be cracked and used by oneself.

But the three prophets, sitting in the midst of the city of fraternity, were clearly impatient. They had put their hopes of defeating humanity in the Precursor ruins.

"Order the troops to open the ruins, taking care not to injure the Precursor items inside." The high-ranking elites present opened their mouths and ordered, if the unknown technology of the forerunners was really found in this ruin. Then if you go back this time, you can be sure of being promoted.

This high-ranking elite actually didn't have much interest in leading a team to excavate the Precursor ruins. He's just a fighter, and it's his job to go to the front line to snipe the enemy.

After the order of the high-level elite was issued, the gate of the Precursor Ruins, which was originally in a closed state, suddenly opened slowly. Suddenly, a strong wind began to rush outside because of the convection of the air.

Many of the Covenant soldiers who were standing at the gates of the ruins, holding energy shields, were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that there were no Templar guards inside the ruins.

This is because there have been bad instances of members of an expedition being attacked by the Templar Defenders after opening the Precursor Ruins. Therefore, in the future excavation operations, the Star Alliance sent troops to defend first.

Under the order of that high-level elite, the Covenant troops on the scene began to enter this Precursor ruin one after another. They then began to look around, trying to find valuable items.

But the Covenant soldiers were soon disappointed, and so in this Precursor ruin. No weapon-like devices have been found, but many things resembling biological specimens have been found.

In some of the storage tanks filled with liquid, many specimens are still alive. However, these things did not arouse the interest of the Covenant soldiers in the slightest.

"Sir, no weapons have been found here, but there are quite a few biological specimens. It seems that this relic is the precursor, a place for the preservation of biological samples. The blue-armored elite warrior reported to the high-ranking elite. In his opinion, there was no use for it at all, and now the Covenant needed weapons, not biological specimens.

"Order the troops to prepare to retreat, and at the same time report the matter here to the City of Fraternity, and ask other personnel to come here to take charge of receiving it." The high-level elite gave an order indifferently, in fact, he had been mentally prepared for such a situation for a long time.

If it weren't for the City of Fraternity's orders that could not be disobeyed, this high-ranking elite would not have led his troops to this planet as an excavator.

At this moment, there was a sudden explosion in the area ahead, followed by plasma energy bombs flying around, once again spreading the explosion everywhere.

"What's going on, who the hell is indiscriminately firing in the sacred ruins?" The high-level elites were already furious at the moment, and the Precursor relics were sacrosanct in the minds of the members of the Star Alliance. Therefore, it is absolutely forbidden to use weapons to destroy the ruins. Except as a last resort, such as encountering the Templar Defenders.

"I'm going to take a look...", but before the elite could start to go to the firing position, a gnoll ran over with a confused face.

"Report, we have been attacked. Those creatures here are attacking the troops..."Before the gnoll could finish reporting, the high-ranking elite pushed it away, and at the same time quickly pulled out the beam sword at his waist and stabbed it forward.

As a burst of liquid flew away, the corpse of a creature with multiple tentacles fell to the ground and did not move.

"Order the troops to destroy these guys!" While the high-level elite gave this task, he took the lead in wielding the beam sword to kill it.

In an instant, the originally magnificent Precursor ruins immediately turned into a battlefield, and the Covenant troops and the unknown creatures inside the ruins launched a fierce battle.

……

While the Covenant forces were fighting with unknown creatures, Xiahoulin was in the control room of the maintenance base, watching the gifts brought by Qiu Yue.

"Look, how do you like it?" Qiu Yue pointed to a set of silver-white armored suits, the shape of this armor has a typical gorgeous style of the Protoss, and the limbs and body of the armored suit are inlaid with white crystals.

"This is the latest type of armor, and it has the characteristics of a bit of Protoss armor." Xia Houlin stretched out his hand and stroked the set of armor in front of him, not to mention that the armor design of the Protoss was indeed very ornamental.

Of course, if someone thinks that the armor of the Protoss is just good-looking, then they are very wrong. This combat suit with a Kedarin crystal has an incredible fighting power.

"Yes, this is an advanced individual tactical armor that combines the technology of the three major forces of Ancient Humans, Precursors, and Protoss. The crystals on both arms can emit energy blades, and the energy crystals around the armor will provide energy shields for the user. In terms of power, a small anti-gravity unit was installed in the armored body. And it has the characteristics of optical invisibility and energy absorption. Qiu Yue briefly introduced the characteristics of this armored suit to Xia Houlin.

Ever since Xiahou Lin had mastered some of the technologies of the three major forces of ancient humans, the forerunners, and the Protoss, the work of combining these three technologies has never stopped.

The set of advanced tactical preparations in front of us is a little result of this period of time. Of course, compared to the technologies of the three major forces, these in front of me are simply not worth mentioning.

"Such armored suits are really the equipment we need." Xia Houlin looked at the armored suit in front of him, but he didn't put it on for the first time. After all, this thing is a combat suit, and you still don't need to wear it when you are not on a mission.

"It's a pity that we're not Protoss and don't know how to use ghost energy, otherwise those Kedarin crystals should be able to play other functions." Qiu Yue looked at the armored suit in front of her, and there was a little regret in her tone.

The Protoss of the StarCraft world, all of their technological foundations, are developed around the Kedarin Crystal. This mysterious crystal has unimaginable power.

"The matter of the Kedarin Crystal, I believe that when we enter the StarCraft world, we will have a chance to figure it out." Xiahou Lin can see it, anyway, the world of StarCraft itself will go sooner or later. Now the most important thing is to thoroughly understand the technology of the forerunners.

"By the way, isn't there another shield world in this world....should we enter that place? I remember there was another huge Precursor ship. Qiu Yue looked at Xia Houlin and said, because he knew the history of the halo world. As a result, you can get a lot of information and find a lot of relics of the Precursors.

Among them, the shield world requiem star has the only precursor facility that is still in operation. There's even a true forerunner and a massive army of robots sleeping inside.
