Chapter 330: The Divine Castle Ends
In the Dawn War that broke out 300 years ago, it is impossible to tell who is right and who is wrong between Quary and Geth - one side is to break free from the cage, the other side is to protect property - but the population of the failed Quarians has plummeted from tens of billions to less than 10 million! Such a blood feud is definitely not something that can be resolved by the geth with the sincerity of peace. I am afraid that the hatred between them can only be washed away by time and blood......
Therefore, after Lu Yuan absorbed the White Geis, who accounted for two-thirds of the total number of geths, he provided a God-given opportunity for the quarians to take revenge on the geth - in fact, he sold the remaining one-third to the quarians backhandedly. Presumably, from now on, the Quarians will be tied to the Dawn with all their hearts; And Lu Yuan also kicked the geth race out of the battlefield completely by the way-you must know that in the original plot, the black geth jumped out like a-stirring stick from time to time, and the white geth was provoked by the reapers at every turn - they and the reapers are both synthetics, and in essence, they are "their own people".
If it weren't for the reaper's harvest, even the synthetic civilization would have to be killed. If the Reapers were sincere and open their arms, I am afraid that all the geth would have defected to the past.
The Quali fleet happened to block the retreat route of the geth fleet, and it was not even in Lu Yuan's plan, it could only be said that there was a providence in the dark......
When this was understood, all the Quarians were driven mad by the surge of blood! Including Carl. Every captain and general, including Danner, was stimulated to the point that his eyes were red! Quarians are not the kind of country that deliberately downplays ethnic hatred from mainstream propaganda in order to "take the bigger picture into account". Quarians were born. They were taught three things - kill geth, kill geth, and kill geth!
This education has been with the Quarians throughout their lives and has been passed down from generation to generation, carved into everyone's bones!
Fight with geth. The Quali fleet did not need to be mobilized at all - when Karl gave the order, the captains of the battleships cursed and roared, and every second of delay could not be bearable, and they wanted to use the battleship's main guns as machine guns! And with the fierce shelling, the whole fleet did not hesitate to rush forward! 1,100 battleships, charging and shooting at the same time, the opposite side instantly turned into a sea of fire! The geth fleet crashed into a steel wall. Hurriedly retreated, while the Quarians clung to it and chased after them!
This time. Instead, it's Carl. Danner was the first to calm down. In the years he spent following Lu Yuan, Carl had seen too much hatred, and he was far more enlightened than the closed Quarians who had been living on ships. And Karl also developed a certain degree of friendship with YF-533, so he was the first to wake up from the frenzy of hatred.
When he realized that he had no way to stop the frenzy that spread throughout the fleet. He decided to try to lead.
So Carl drove the ship out of the fleet. The Racewalker was a red bolt of lightning and soared like a swift through the cracks of the geth fleet. The Race Walker is unarmed, but her speed and dexterity are unmatched. As Karl penetrated deep into the interior of the geth fleet, new reconnaissance information continued to be transmitted back to the Quali fleet. Not only that, Carl. Danner also identified the geth ships he had detected, and divided the targets equally among Quilly's detachments.
As the honorary commander-in-chief of the fleet, Karl had a high reputation, and his "heroic act" of reconnaissance was carried out. It also gives him extra points for his right to speak. Therefore, the generals of several detachments almost did not hesitate to pass on Karl's orders. Do so as such.
Karl used the distinction of targets as a method of combing, and finally made the shelling of the entire fleet rich. Rhythm gradually replaced the frenzy, and reason returned to the captains' brains. At this time, the Quali fleet has already occupied an absolute advantage on the battlefield, and the Hackett fleet is turning into a sharp sword, slashing at the back of the geth fleet!
The geth fleet has continuously fought against the Citadel Guards, Li Huamei's task force, and the Fifth Fleet, and has lost a large number of its main warships! Before the arrival of the Quali fleet, they had only a 3:1 ratio of capital ships compared to the fleet reorganized by Hackett! Although most of the warships in the Quali fleet were converted from civilian ships, the first volume was large enough and the energy supply was sufficient; Second, although the protection is relatively poor, the main guns are all real capital ship configurations!
In terms of attack ability alone, the Quali fleet that entered the Giant Serpent Nebula this time has at least 800 capital ships! When Lu Yuan sold the warship to the Black Leg, he had already assessed the comparison of the strength of the Black Legge and the Quarians, and at that time he had already planned for today.
The entire battle of the Citadel was basically developing according to his expectations, and it was almost impossible to deviate from his calculations! Since Lu Yuan wants to give the Quarians a big victory, and at the same time tie the Quarians to the chariot, and completely end the grievances between the Quarians and the Geth (because after the extinction of the Black Gelis, the rest are his subordinate White Gelis), of course, he will not let the Quarians suffer heavy losses.
The geth fleet was flanked from both sides, and the retreat was cut off, and it suddenly fell into a desperate situation where it could not fight back! At this time, the Black Guardians panicked to find that since at some point, the network of buoys near the Serpent Nebula had been paralyzed again - that is, they could not even make the last resort - "upload" their own programs...... Someone knows a lot about how geth work. This time, the geth was destroyed, and it was a complete death.
And the geth fleet has another big disadvantage, although they still have about 3,000 warships left, but that is of no use except for bloating. Because the absolute number is occupied by a large number of troop carriers carried by the geth in order to cooperate with the reapers' complete capture of the fortress, and all the geth infantry are on board!
The armament of these troop carriers was negligible, and while they were slaughtered, they even gave the Quarians a chance to be wiped out in one fell swoop......
At this point, even though everyone knew it was going to be a complete victory, Karl . Danner was still urging the fleet to pick up speed.
During the battle, he had come to a simple agreement with several generals - victory in the battle against the geth fleet was important, but helping allies resist the Reapers! If the Quarians still want to be a great people again. The only thing they have to do is to end the battle here as soon as possible and return to the Spear System to fight alongside the Dawn!
Whether you're greeted with victory or defeat. The battlefield over there is really great.
"Captain Lu helped us, and we want to help him too! Settle the battle as quickly as possible, then return to the Spear Galaxy - that is our real battlefield! β
*****
"It's going to be a big win!" Speaker Asari said with a smile.
The view through the porthole, corroborated by the report provided by the captain of the Fried Rice, relieved Speaker Asari.
With the sudden arrival of the Quali fleet, Speaker Asari was finally convinced that the council was not just on the brink of life and death. And it will be reversed to welcome an unprecedented victory! And she will be recorded in history as the Speaker of the Citadel Council and the person with the highest political status on the entire battlefield...... Everyone who wrote this history of the war. will not be able to bypass her name! What's more, handing over the command of the Citadel Fleet to Li Huamei was a key decision she made - it was this decision that became a turning point in the entire battlefield. For this reason, Speaker Asari almost blossomed.
Surviving the near future, Speaker Asari at this time was sharp and wise - most of the time, in fact. Behind the "stupid" decisions made by the parliament. There are a lot of interests involved. For some people with vested interests, they are not stupid at all - seeing the powerful combat effectiveness displayed by the new warships of the Star Alliance, and thinking of the full set of warship technologies that Queen Ilim once "blackmailed" to Asari and Turui, she has understood that the rise of mankind is unstoppable!
Therefore, Councilor Asari only quietly discussed with the other two, and had already decided to give Starlink a new council seat. However, in order to curb human ambitions, it is impossible to give it so directly. It is also necessary to discuss the areas in which the councillors are in charge, the proportion of the main warships of each parliamentary race, and so on. Engage in a long-lasting ...... It will all be one tough negotiation after another.
But none of that matters, now is the time to enjoy the victory!
Councillor Asari soaked in the taste of victory for a while. I began to silently calculate the gains and losses in my heart -- we had to think thoroughly about the follow-up counterattack on the fortress, the media propaganda, the pacification of the victims, the post-war reconstruction, and so on. After she had completed most of the planning directions, she considered the next important question - who should be credited with this victory?! In other words, for the sake of post-war propaganda, it must be decided as soon as possible, who is the hero who should be fully promoted!?
In the moment when the Citadel has been battered, a new heroic figure must be erected to boost the confidence of the people...... There is also the ...... to divert attention, which is a political necessity. There is no doubt that with the full power of the Citadel's propaganda machine, the chosen one will gain galactic prestige and become the hero of all eyes. So how to pick a candidate who can be readily accepted by all parties is the key to the key.
Parliamentarians are not going to grab such a false name. The reputation of a hero, for an unelected politician, is definitely a double-edged sword. After reaching their status, low-key is king, and this kind of big reputation is avoided.
Like the captain of the Fried Rice, the commander of the Citadel fleet (deceased), etc., they are all losers in the eyes of Speaker Asari and cannot be used as candidates. The Quarians' intentions are unclear, and there is still a lot of disagreement between them and the Citadel Council, so they can't be used as candidates; As for General Hackett, he is already about to become a general, the highest rank in the active service of the Star Alliance. If General Hackett is propagated with all his might, it will definitely be a trick - a general with too high prestige, in order to prevent the birth of a military junta, can only accept the promotion to the rank of marshal, and then be forced to retire with honor......
It seems that Li Huamei is the best candidate.
But when Councilor Asari asked cryptically, she got an answer that surprised her greatly!
*****
"It's Shepard!" Hearing Speaker Asari's question, Li Huamei saluted and said solemnly. "Shepard was a friend of mine from the military academy, and I know she's been tracking Saleen and keeping an eye on some of her movements. Half a month ago, our mutual friend Anne was killed in the battle between Vormel and Salen. From that moment on, I began to keep an eye on the situation in the Citadel, and made an agreement with Shepard to cooperate with her from the inside out - I would support her operations from the outside, while Shepard entered the Citadel to pursue Salen!
I know her, Shepard is an outstanding N7, and she's also a Citadel Ghost. The Citadel space station just now suddenly lost power, preventing the formation of that channel, which should be Shepard's masterpiece! I believe Shepard is the key to saving the Citadel. β
β¦β¦
"It's Lieutenant Colonel Shepard." This is the answer from General Hackett. "Shepard and her ship spoke to me before they left the Citadel for the last time. In that secret communication, she thought that the Citadel would face a great crisis next! Therefore, Shepard asked me to gather the fleet for the time being, and keep a close eye on the situation in the Citadel, ready to attack at any time. Thank God, even though I didn't believe much in everything she said, I did what she suggested. I held an impromptu military exercise to put the Fifth Fleet on standby - that's why I was able to support the Citadel so quickly!
So, if I had to say that there was one person who was Mr. Key, I would say ...... It can only be Lieutenant Colonel Shepard! She deserves all the honors! β
Well, by this time, Speaker Asari was completely dizzy - but in her mind, Shepard was indeed a better candidate - because compared to Li Huamei, Shepard was a Castle Ghost, and she was branded by the Citadel Council!
So...... After some hesitation, she decided to contact the Quarians over there. In any case, since the Quarians have done such a righteous act as aiding the Divine Citadel, then all the black history of the past must be turned and never mentioned again. Not only that, but the establishment of an embassy, the reorganization of bilateral relations, and the reintegration of Quali into the Citadel Council system are also desirable.
Therefore, other inquiries should be regarded as greetings before opening the topic...... With this in mind, Speaker Asari connected the communication with Commander Quali and began a conversation that she regretted immensely.
"That's right, Commander Shepard called us!" A general Quali, who looked old and was about to enter the coffin, but with Venus on his shoulders, replied with a smile. (Actually, you don't even know who Shepard is!) οΌ
"What does our Quarley have to do with Commander Shepard? That's a long story! Anyway, huh...... balabalaβ¦β¦ In short, Shepard saved our little princess of the Quarians, and that kindness is great! Although Commander Shepard may have just stopped casually, as brainy as she was...... Oh, it's a heroic person, you can't tell how much money you have to spend every day, how many people you will help! I guess she saved our princess, she probably didn't pay attention to it at all. But we Quarians can't, if we repay the kindness, we must not forget! β
Hearing this, Speaker Asari was already covered in sweat - Quarian mud! Where did you get such a foolish old man?! And aren't quarians a union parliament? Where did the princess come from?! But the Quarians really don't have princesses...... Speaker Asari really can't guarantee this. In her eyes, these marginal races are all weird, and everything is not good, what if......
"After our princess was rescued by Commander Shepard, after going back, I didn't think about it, and I thought about marrying Commander Xue all day long! So we are all concerned about what happened to Shepard, and it's a coincidence! And it's still a ...... of slapping gees, "Swollen again?"
"What? You say Commander Shepard is a woman?! This one...... Of course I know a lot about this! But we Quarians are quite enlightened, men and women, men and women...... It doesn't matter if you're of the same sex, it's okay if you're of different races, as long as there's love! The old man spat and said!
β¦β¦ Quarians, you're really enough!
However, in order to help Shepard become a savior, Lu Yuan arranged countless followers and unified the caliber early...... Like an old man, who makes up stories and drafts them in advance, he is definitely not sharpening his guns in battle.
According to Lu Yuan's plan, the front-line battlefield of the Divine Citadel is about to end - it's time to help the Savior brush up his reputation!
