Although Sister Xue had cleared the entire Mass Effect series of games with Shen Chao before, she knew about the conflicts of opinion within Jace, and she also knew that most Jace never wanted to go to war with organic intelligent civilizations, but she also knew that the original history had been changed by herself and Shen Chao a large part, not to mention the war launched by the Citadel Council a few months ago.

The heavy blow that the Combined Fleet of the Divine Citadel dealt to Jace a few months ago was likely to change Jace's attitude towards the Organic Intelligent Race, not to mention that after receiving the Shadow Broker's authority from Shen Chao, she knew that the Combined Fleet of the Divine Citrus was planning a new war against Jace.

The Combined Fleet they had seen before was just the tip of the iceberg of the fleet that would be participating in this war, and the Citadel Council had coordinated several militarily powerful races in recent months, planning to mobilize a super-large fleet of nearly 120,000 warships to participate in the next war against Jace.

The recent Citadel Fleet exercise is just the beginning, and if they go their way, the combined fleet will be assembled in 3 months and launch the largest battle in the galaxy in the last thousand years.

As an intelligent race with advanced intelligence, even if he has not smelled the smell of war now, Jace will quickly realize this plan of the major races of the Divine Citadel, and there is no doubt that it is impossible for Jace to defeat such an invading force if he relies on his own strength alone.

Although Jace is a mechanical race, their productivity is not unlimited, and unlike many people think, Jace seems to be numerous. But in reality it is a race with a very small number of individuals.

According to the standard of human intelligence, there are only tens of thousands of "Jace units" with this level and above swarm intelligence. These tens of thousands of Jace units are composed of a large number of intelligent units, which are interconnected with other Jace units through information nodes one by one, and the dynamic neural network formed is the final decision-making body of Jace.

This decision-making model allows Jace to concentrate all the information and resources at his disposal and to make as a population as objective and impartial as possible about the situation outside the world. This also means that if the war starts, the war between them and the Combined Fleet of the Citadel will become extremely bloody and brutal.

"c146 calls SSC-Budapest, we're Jace, we're asking for an exchange......" Jace Dreadnought sent a message first. See this message. Sister Xue's heart was half relieved, and it seemed that Jace on the other side should indeed be the one without hostility.

"Isolate communication station 2 and connect the other party's communication request!" Sister Xue ordered the communication group not far away, and her order was quickly executed. A few seconds later. She started a conversation with Jace Intelligence on the Jace Dreadnought in the distance.

The two sides first introduced themselves. Jace was surprised that the current commander of the Budapest was actually Sister Xue, and according to the information they received, Sister Xue's current relationship with Shen Chao was not considered an enemy. It should also be quite hostile.

The Divine Citadel Council has already listed Shen Chao as a mutinous agent, and Sister Xue, who is still in the ghost sequence, should have been responsible for arresting him! They thought this was the case when they saw the Normandy watching the battle in the rear, but according to Sister Xue's introduction, it was Shen Chao who temporarily handed over the commander to her.

In order to show goodwill and promote exchanges between the two sides, they decided to send a Jace individual to the Budapest to interview Sister Xue, and Sister Xue naturally agreed.

Soon, a Jace space fighter left the Jace Dreadnought and flew into her own airport under the watchful eye of the Budapest, and Sister Xue was already waiting here with the people of Team 102 at this time.

After docking on the bright and empty deck here, a very ordinary-looking Jace Qì jumped out of the cockpit. After it jumped out of the cockpit, the Jace Space Fighter behind it relied on autopilot to return.

This Jace Qì looked like the other Jace Qì they had seen before, with a sensitive and powerful mechanical body and a large number of sensitive sensors, but the paint on the shell was slightly richer, which was a little different from the average Jace.

"Commander Shepard, it's an honor to meet you, and I'm here to explain our ...... on behalf of my people," Jace spoke on his megaphone, and spoke clearly and fluently.

Although she was mentally prepared, Sister Xue was still slightly shocked by the scene in front of her. All of the Jace combat units he had seen before would not speak, as there were at most dozens of intelligence units on those combat platforms, which was not enough to form advanced intelligence.

This Jace machine in front of him is obviously not like this, its voice and even the movements when speaking are very similar to another important Jace individual in the game's plot. If it weren't for the fact that it didn't have a big hole in its chest and the N7 armor fragment used to repair it, Sister Xue would probably have to call out the other party's name.

"Do you have a name?" Sister Xue finally didn't suppress her curiosity and asked the other party's name.

"Jace! The Jace in front of him replied, and his tone sounded like it was a little complaining, as if to say, "What else could I be but Jace?" ”

"No, what I want to ask is the name of "your", the name of this "unit"! Hearing the other party's answer just now, Sister Xue already had a lot of confidence in her guess, so she continued to ask.

"We Jace don't have the individual meaning of your organism, this unit (itself) has a lot of us in it, we are all Jace......" The Jace in front of him finally fully understood Sister Xue's question, so he replied.

In its opinion, Sister Xue's problem is very strange, because even if its own unit is a group of intelligent units combined into a new intelligent individual, in the eyes of other Jace, it has not become any different, and it can still be disassembled at any time to return to Jace's single intelligence, or recombine to form a new group intelligence. Therefore, as for the concept of its individual mentioned by Sister Xue, it took some time to fully understand it.

"I think I'll call you the Legion, if you don't object......" Sister Xue heard this, and she had already determined that the Jace in front of her was the "Legion" in the original plot of the game, but she didn't "die" with the plot, so the Legion didn't get a big hole in her chest and repair her body with her own armor fragments.

"From the Bible, Matthew 5:9," "My name is the legion, because we are numerous." "This unit is familiar with this religious metaphor, and it's appropriate! We agree with your Jianyì, I am a legion......" It accepted Sister Xue's Jianyì and used the title of Legion as the name of its own unit.

Of course, unlike Sister Xue who named it the legion with the meaning of "nostalgia", the reason why the legion accepted this title was to make it easier for Sister Xue to identify herself. Its own intelligence is a complex of more than 1,000 Jass intelligence units.

The concept of an individual still didn't make sense to it, but it could see that it needed to negotiate with Sister Xue as an "individual", otherwise the other party would probably not accept the information it submitted. So, at least for the current legion, it is still a matter of strategy to accept this title.

After completing the identity introductions of both parties, Shen Chao finally settled the reaper wreckage at the other end and returned to the Budapest. After seeing the "Legion", he was a little surprised, just like Sister Xue, after all, with the drastic change of the original plot, they didn't expect to encounter it outside.

Surprised to be surprised, they still received the legion very warmly, and in a nearby conference room, the two sides took their seats and began a historic conversation! Of course, the legions present at this time did not know how important the negotiations they were participating in would be.

It only calmly shows the split history of Jace and the Heresy that it has prepared for a long time, showing that Jace is peace-loving, and that it is only a small part of them that has helped the Overlord and Reaper return to the galaxy, but they are now hostile to all organic intelligent civilizations because of this.

Here, the Legion says that it needs Sister Xue's help, because only by personally leveraging history and defeating the Overlord can she convince the Citadel Council that most of Jace is innocent and avoid further escalation of the war between the two sides......

Hearing this, Shen Chao wanted to laugh a little but couldn't, while Sister Xue next to him smiled bitterly. Because of the success of the Battle of the Divine Castle, she has indeed won everyone's trust, even if she is close to Shen Chao, she has not been substantially implicated because Shen Chao was expelled from the ghost sequence.

If she wanted to, she could break through a qiē obstacle and bring the legion safely to the Citadel Tower, showing the Citadel Council the evidence of Jace's innocence. However, this does not mean that war can be avoided.

Instead, using the Shadow Brokers' intelligence network, they already know how determined the Council is to wage war against Jace. And also know the specific conception of war in parliament, which, in general, is inevitable.

To put it simply, the Citadel Council is not unaware that it is only a part of Jace who helps the Reapers. In fact, shortly after the Battle of Citadel, the Council found out the general cause of the incident with her help, and learned that some of Jace was assisting the Overlord.

But despite this, the first war against Jace began a few months earlier. The reason for this is that the Citadel Council needs to increase its sense of existence and strengthen its real power through such a war.

As the spokesmen of their own races, the members of the Citadel Council don't care if most of Jace is innocent, they only care about whether doing so will maximize the benefits of their race. (To be continued......)
