Chapter 306: Prelude
The two people who are behind the scenes discuss it seriously and come to the conclusion that it is appropriate, appropriate, well-reasoned, and not wrong.
However, when Anne was wrapped in a yukata and was about to pass by Lu Yuan to leave, Lu Yuan said lightly, "Actually, it's because of Ji?" Immediately Anne stumbled, and the wolf was unbearable.
"Isn't it? Isn't it? Master Lu smiled and followed behind Anne, who was walking faster and faster, and asked, "Yes, yes, no, no...... Let's be realistic! ”
"It's you!"

"Citadel, this is the Grey Eagle Patrol Fleet, we noticed that there seems to be something unusual about the trade route from Irium......" A turbulent officer stood on a large screen and made a video report to the command center of the Citadel space station. During our three-hour patrol, we only noticed very few ships passing by, which was quite abnormal. ”
From Ilim to Citadel, it was a rather busy trade route. In the space trade, because of the high cost of spacecraft transportation, it is certainly not possible to "shoulder to shoulder, back and forth" on the shipping lane, but it will not be as deserted as it is today. However, judging from his attitude towards reporting, the Turks did not regard this incident as a big anomaly, and only reported it as a routine matter.
"Citadel received, the Grey Eagle Patrol Fleet has just received instructions from the Council to shut down some repeaters near the Citadel space station due to the upcoming joint military exercises." In the command center, the good-looking operator explained the situation to the young captain decently. And she seemed to have something else in mind about the captain. So I said a couple more words. "Before you, other patrol fleets reported similar situations, and we reported it to our superiors. That's the feedback you've just received. The current situation is,...... One qiē is normal. ”
"One qiē is normal!" After the young captain saluted heroically, he was about to close the communication with a smile. But the picture of the video communication was distorted at first, and then it was automatically disconnected, turning into a full screen of snowflakes......
Perennial military training, graduated from the highest military academy of the Turks, the best of the young generation. Let him figure out what this is in a matter of seconds! "Communication jamming?! Turn on Active Light Reach immediately, search for ...... at full power"
Before the Turkian officer could finish his words, the entire turian cruiser he was riding on shook violently. interrupted him. Immediately, the communication channel became lively, "Cabin 4 is damaged!" ", "A strong source of interference has been discovered", "We have been hit at a distance!" Repeat, we were hit at a distance! The target is ......," the observer shouted frantically through the channel.
Without saying a word, the turbulent officer preemptively turned on the detection screen, and he was still shocked at this moment. However, it came from confidence in the formidable turbulent cruiser under his feet. Let him be convinced that the patrol fleet will not be crushed in the first place! However, the sight in his eyes made him shiver all over his body—countless beautiful purple bands of light were extending from the depths of the distant dark universe! These purple bands of light are both beautiful and dangerous. After a frigate of a patrol fleet was hit by a light belt, it didn't even have time to send a distress signal, and it exploded into a cloud of cosmic dust silently!
"It's the geth ......" he could recognize, because in the turian military textbook, the Dawn War between the geth and the Quarians took up three small chapters. The captain knows all the main guns of the major warships throughout the galaxy. In the midst of them...... The vast majority of them use Mass Effect Cannons. Only the main guns of the geth battleship used purple short-wave beam guns......
The beam cannon fires at ultra-long distances from several astronomical units. It takes several minutes just to shoot at range, and most of the time it takes to hit is because the patrol fleet is moving at a constant speed, which is easy to calculate. However, although the beam is amplified and diffused by several astronomical units, the power is less than one-tenth of the main design value, and the accuracy is almost non-...... But the overwhelming number still effectively makes up for this gap!
The enemy never showed up, but kept shooting at super distances, and the accuracy was getting more and more accurate! Apparently, there are enemy reconnaissance ships lurking nearby! But at this moment, the patrol fleet is no longer able to look for it.
The turbulent officers tried changing speeds, dispersing breakouts, and shield-shaped formations...... However, in the end, the entire Gray-headed Eagle patrol fleet was still regrettable and turned into cosmic dust! The only thing that made the young officer feel a little relieved before he died was that he passed the message back to the Citadel command center at the last moment.
Communications are jammed, and there must be a huge source of jamming in the vicinity of the patrol fleet, the size of which is ...... It should be similar to a dreadnought-class battleship! But until the end of the fleet's destruction, they were unable to find the ship.
This detachment was desperately destroyed in the continuous over-the-range strikes. It wasn't until these warships were destroyed that thousands of geth warships, large and small, slowly appeared from the depths of the universe and sailed into the passage to the Citadel!
At this time, in the darkness behind the detachment, the figure of a monster-like battleship slowly emerged, which seemed to have been hidden there from time immemorial to the present day - the "overlord" reaper!
*****
Citadel Space Station Command Center.
Perhaps it was thought that although the communication was interfered with, neither side actively disconnected the connection. So in that one in a thousand chance, the beautiful operator still coincidentally received the last message from the young captain!
This news hit her hard! But after calming down, she immediately wiped the tears from her eyes to make herself look less unusual. Then, in accordance with the emergency procedure, the surrounding mute shield was first turned on, and then the information of the Gray-headed Eagle patrol fleet being attacked by the geth was entered into the heavy information network as quickly as possible!
This network is the fastest way for them to report upwards. Sure enough, just two seconds later, a message was silently fed back from the heavy information network - "Top secret: come to 5601 immediately, don't attract anyone's attention!" ”
The operator left her position excitedly, hurriedly walked out of the command center, and boarded the special elevator to the 56th floor of the giant tower!
In the elevator, she was finally able to relax a little, but the figure of the young captain lingered in her mind...... The whole elevator only runs for a few seconds, but it feels like a century! Finally, when the indicator light finally stopped on the 56th floor, the door of the special elevator opened for her, allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief.
A geth stood in the doorway of the elevator, holding a gun, and pulled the trigger without hesitation!
"Phew!"
The Citadel Tower is the seat of the Citadel Council. However, at this moment, the 56th floor of this giant tower was full of geth infantry and Asari commandos, and Saren stood in the center of them, busy in front of a huge control platform with his back on his back.
The body of the female operator was dragged away from the elevator by the geel, and then a new geth came to disinfect and wipe the elevator, restoring the elevator to its original state...... They were busy all the time, and they didn't even get anyone's attention when the female body was dragged through them......
The Council of the Citadel has accepted Shepard's warnings and the fact that Saren is preparing to attack the Citadel. Before that, the Citadel has gathered its fleet to the Serpent Nebula (home to the Citadel Station) and is preparing for a showdown with Saren here!
However, to the surprise of the councillors, Saren was neither commanding the fleet aboard the Overlord Reaper battleship, nor was he still roaming the Boundary's Star Domain, as Shepard had previously reported......
He has already found the "Holy Path" left by the Proximians, and has swaggered inside the Divine Citadel Tower, and is even infiltrating and taking over the network of the military command of the Divine Citadel! This is definitely beyond most people's expectations - the Citadel Council thinks that as long as the "petals" of the space station are closed, the Citadel Space Station will be an eternal fortress!
However, they could never have imagined that Saren had invaded the interior of the Citadel! The shell of a quantum-level space station with a thickness of more than 70 meters instantly became useless!
Because the so-called "Holy Path" was imitated by the Prosens, a small Mass Effect repeater that can lead directly to the interior of the Citadel......
