After an unpleasant meeting, the kamikaze Martyrs set off with the Covenant's special forces and embarked on a journey to assassinate the traitor leader on several specially modified Covenant small transports. Unbeknownst to everyone else except the kamikaze himself, they would encounter the elusive Spacetime Expedition at the end of their journey. Their journey to hunt down the traitors will certainly not have the desired effect as the High Prophets intended.

The expedition had already approached several possible landing sites for the Covenant Special Forces and used their stealth shuttles to carefully lurk in the surrounding covert areas, watching and waiting.

Since the kamikaze Martyr had an agreement with Shen Chao before, he would try to persuade the rebel leaders here to join him, so without Shen Chao's specific orders or major accidents, the expedition team would only observe the whole process and would not interfere with the operations of the Covenant special forces here.

The kamikaze Martyr arrived more than half a day later than the expedition had expected, but after arriving, the Covenant forces he brought with him were basically the same as the expedition had expected. Most of the elite warriors turned on the optical camouflage and followed him directly to find the main target.

Boar Beast Pilots were sent to occupy high ground along the way to warn them and guard the exits to ensure that no enemy escaped in battle. While most of the Boar Beasts are low-status cannon fodder within the Covenant army, but. These are clearly not cannon fodder.

Not only are these boarmons equipped with fast jetpacks and fairly sophisticated armor, but they are also much more trained than the cannon fodder boarmons that the expedition has seen in Reach. It looks quite like it when acting and laying out tactics.

In the absence of the elite clan commanders, the tables of these wild boar beast flying teams are actually quite eye-catching, and compared to the wild boar beasts they saw on Zhiyuan Star, they are simply not like a species, they should all be veterans carefully selected by the Star Alliance.

In fact, it is. Boar beasts that can be deployed to this unit are people who have participated in at least 20 battles and made meritorious achievements. Although their fighting will and fighting ability were still not comparable to those of the tall elite warriors, they were already well-trained by the standards of ordinary human armies.

One of the members of the Boar Beast Flying Squad had previously participated in the Battle of Zhiyuan, and had just been transferred to this elite unit to fill a vacancy. Although his name is very common in the Star Alliance, it is very tongue-twisting to humans when transliterated. Removing the first half of the name, it can barely be transliterated as "Lacanihu", which is a very painful pronunciation to humans. For the sake of communication, we will only use the sound of the initial "Raqqa" as his code name.

If it is a paraphrase, the name of this wild boar beast named "Laka" is probably similar to the name "Ergou" in Chinese, which is a very popular and local name. His life was almost as ordinary as the transliteration of his name.

He was born in a remote area on the boarmon's home planet, and due to the special ecological environment of the boarmon's home planet that is not suitable for most other Covenant races, Rakka has not seen many people from other Covenant races other than his own race when he was growing up.

The education he received growing up was not high by the standards of the Covenant. But he is also a "cultural person" in his own race, and he should have been assigned to a peaceful production position in adulthood, rather than being sent to the army as cannon fodder.

But. Due to the failure of the Boar Beast's early attempt to withdraw from the Covenant through the Guò Rebellion, their race has become extremely low in the Covenant's government structure, and there is no way to decide the fate of ordinary people like him.

Therefore, in the latest surprise conscription order issued by the Council of the Supreme Prophet, he was dragged into the field like thousands of fellow boar beasts like him, bid farewell to his family and peaceful life, and was forcibly sent to the battlefield after only one month of training.

In contrast, a warrior of an elite clan has at least a year of military education before reaching adulthood and joining the army. The innate physique and this disparity in training make most boar beasts far inferior to elite warriors on the battlefield. Naturally, the survival rate is much lower.

The young boar beast didn't know if the humans who were the Covenant's enemies were really as evil as the Covenant's propaganda, but he knew how cruel the front line was. Because he has several cousins who have returned to their home planet in body bags.

If he wants to survive and return to his hometown, he must accumulate enough military merit to climb to a higher position. Otherwise, they will die in the war with humanity, just as hundreds of thousands of their compatriots die every year.

Although the Covenant prides itself on equality and unity, everyone knows that the Elites and Prophets are the ones who are in charge. "Second-class citizens" like them can only obediently serve as cannon fodder for elite warriors like knights on the front line. If it weren't for a series of accidents. This young boar beast will never appear here.

As it turned out, Raqqa was a very lucky boar beast, although it didn't take long for him to join the Covenant army when he encountered a tragic battle like the Battle of Reach and participated in ground operations. But luckily, he not only did not die in that war zone, but was also promoted to this special forces because of a series of accidents.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the Star Alliance's cheating army promotion mode. Since it is still a feudal army in nature, most Covenant armies place a lot of emphasis on merit and grabbing credit after battle, rather than training.

Their elite troops are not cultivated through long-term targeted training like human armies. Instead, after basic physical and shooting training, they are thrown on the battlefield and then scooped from their own survivors on the battlefield. Whoever survives enough battles is considered a good warrior by the Covenant's senior officers. Then he will be automatically promoted, and if there is a confirmed battle, he will immediately give a reward in public.

Although this promotion mode can dig out some excellent fighters, it is not good in terms of selection effect or execution effect. Due to wartime organizational confusion. The Star Alliance's military exploits are also subject to the inheritance system, which provides conditions for many people to take the lead in military exploits.

This is how Raqqa was promoted quickly, although his own combat power is very low, and his courage is also very small. But his body is flexible, and he is stunned in Zhiyuanxing, passively dodging and playing dead. I was stunned and survived the fierce battlefield several times.

Because the several Star Alliance troops he joined successively in Zhiyuan Star were sent to the most dangerous war zones before and after, the establishment was completely disabled, and the team he joined last was completely wiped out, leaving only him who pretended to be dead and survived, so all the credit made by the other people in the previous team was taken by him who saw the opportunity.

Because after the war, it was the time to give a large reward, boost morale, and calm the morale of the army. So even though he knew that his military exploits were watery, the person in charge of the reward did not expose him, but sent him, a "coward", to the Star Covenant special forces with a very high casualty rate after the award.

In this way, the publicity required for promotion and reward is achieved, and there is a considerable chance that Raqqa will die in the subsequent battles during his long military life. Now, the boar beast named "Raqqa" is worried about how to survive.

He had received the promotion and reward he had always wanted, and the prize money had been remitted back to his hometown. But now his situation can be described as very dangerous, and if there are no adventures, it will be difficult for him to survive his service.

The team he was in now was all his compatriots. But he inquired, even the leader of the boar beasts of this team had only been transferred to this team for more than half a year, and the other boar beasts when he joined this team were already dead or injured.

Nervous and excited, Raqqa and the others carefully guarded the positions to which their squad had been assigned, and prayed with the leader that the elite fellow people in charge of the main attack would help them not to let the enemy run away.

Unbeknownst to Rakqa and his new teammates, a shuttle was silently observing them in the space hundreds of meters away as they entered the position at the exit of the space station. And the fate of Raqqa will change dramatically.

A few kilometers away. Shen Chao was in the shuttle outside one of the exits, covertly observing the other team of wild boar beast flying teams in front of him. The well-organized and swift movements of these boar beasts in front of him almost completely changed his first impression of the boar beasts.

In the beginning. The expedition squads that observed at the various exits made silent observations. However, it didn't take long for an accident to happen. One of the observation teams was traveling in a shuttle that was spotted by the boar beast.

This was really an unexpected situation, and the optical camouflage of one of the shuttles suddenly partially failed, leaking an uncovered capsule under the nose of the aircraft, and finally being highly tensed by a nerve guarding the exit a few hundred meters away. The Boar Scout, who was in a combat state, spotted it. And it was the team that found them that was the boar beast called Raqqa mentioned earlier.

This partial failure of optical camouflage is not particularly unusual. After all, the shuttle they are flying in is still an experimental product, and although all the safety tests have been passed, the durability of the equipment has not been fully verified.

After the "baptism" of a large number of atmospheric reconnaissance and rescue missions during the previous Battle of Zhiyuan, many shuttles involved in the operation had the problem of local coating aging. But due to the lack of control samples. The maintenance department was unable to determine exactly how much this aging meant that the service life of the optical camouflage was reduced.

So their solution was to apply a new coating to the surface of the shuttle with the aging coating, a fix that had proven effective in a previous test, but that test was conducted entirely in a space environment far from the sun, and they were now in a planetary system with a complex environment.

The galaxy they were in now was filled with a lot of interstellar dust, and the light intensity was greater than previously expected, and the shuttles that had been painted with a new shell coating had an accident with local optical camouflage failure.
