Chapter 244: Post-War Liquidation

Instead of joining the crew around him in celebration, Hackett immediately sent the ship's search and rescue team to the Citadel Tower, where he had just lost contact with Shepard. Now he needs to confirm Shepard's status.

Hackett was not the only one who wanted to confirm Sister Xue's status, at the same time, Shen Chao also returned to the Divine Citadel through the space-time gate, and the current environment was safe enough, and their observation plan was a complete success.

Of the original 334 probes, only 67 are still functional, but they clearly recorded all the battles in the Citadel throughout the Battle of the Citadel.

The number of enemies and the number of shots fired by the main and auxiliary guns, combined with the reports of the fleet and the parameters of the ships that he could soon find, he could accurately restore all the important numbers and details throughout the campaign.

Through these numbers, he can accurately restore the overlord's shield strength, speed, and main gun firing boundary...... A qiē combat power related to the number of jù, to make theoretical preparations for their future choices.

Back to the present, Shen Chao stepped through the space-time gate and found that this side was still covered in smoke, and the visibility of the nearby hundreds of meters was still extremely low, but it did not affect the flight.

After bringing a shuttle plane over, he immediately rushed to the giant tower of the Citadel in the distance. Sister Xue's state is an important premise for all their plans in the next stage, and if she dies, many things will change. So he's going to check it out.

After arriving at the Circle Area, which had become a wasteland, he happened to meet a pair of search and rescue teams sent by Hackett, although they were search and rescue teams, but they were a whole team of N7 fighters, a total of 24 people.

After revealing their identities, this group of warriors also acted with him, and their goal was the same, to enter the Divine Citadel, whether they lived or died, they must find Shepard.

By this time, most of the automatic systems in the fortress had been paralyzed, there were no elevators, and there was no stable power supply. The probe also revealed that there were still quite a few remnants of Jace's infantry here.

After fearing hundreds of flights of stairs and killing several times the number of Jace, they arrived at the Divine Citadel Control Room, which was smashed by a fragment of the Overlord, and there was no sign of any living people in the entire hall.

According to the observations along the way, Shen Chao also found that these N7 fighters were indeed the most elite fighters, although none of them were as powerful as Sister Xue, but they were all first-class fighters.

5. If 6 N7 fighters work together. The overall combat effectiveness should not be worse than Sister Xue's. These N7 fighters are adept at using their own weapons and tools, and are close to perfection by all aspects of the warrior's standards.

Shen Chao saw that the tacit understanding of their cooperation and the overall combat effectiveness had reached an impeccable level, and the idea of forming an army of the same level was even moved in his heart. Of course, it was too early to think about this, and he quickly turned his attention to the matter at hand.

After entering the control room, the soldiers were divided into two teams, one team to search and rescue, and the other team rushed to the control station to be in charge of the control of the hat.

After the probing and rummaging of these N7 fighters, they in turn found the Normandy crew. Lex, Tully, Garrus......

One by one, they were dug out of the rubble, and several of them were not lightly injured after being dug out of the rubble. Immediately put on a stretcher for first aid.

Just as they were wondering where Sister Xue was, there was a noise in the ruins in the distance, and a steel plate that looked to weigh 1 or 2 tons was pushed out and flew around, circled twice in the air and landed.

Then where the steel plate was originally thrown, a figure slowly stood up, and Sister Xue's figure appeared in everyone's sight.

After standing up, Sister Xue covered her abdomen with one hand and slowly walked towards them, there were still some blood stains on the outside of her armor. It looks like it's hurt. …,

As soon as Liara, who had just been dug up, saw Sister Xue like this, she immediately ran over and hugged her. Now her relationship with Sister Xue is public......

"How?" Shen Chao looked at Sister Xue and walked over like this and asked, it was the first time he had seen this superwoman so wolf.

"Don't worry, you can't die." Sister Xue said and let go of her hand covering her abdomen, Shen Chao took a look, and there was a long scorch mark there. It looks like it was abrased by a heavy thermal weapon.

It appears that the injury is quite serious, but the marks on the wound on the armor show that the entire wounded area has been covered with gel and nanomaterials by the automatic repair system, and it is not life-threatening.

"How did you get hurt?" Shen Chao couldn't help but ask this question, his current combat power is very strong, but even when he is so strong and has an overwhelming advantage in speed and strength, it is difficult to hurt Sister Xue. So how did Salen do it?

"Ah, you're missing out on an interesting fight. Sister Xue laughed when she heard this, and while laughing, she patted Shen Chao's shoulder, and then motioned to Lex to explain to Shen Chao, and she herself began to treat the wound meticulously with the help of others.

"That's right, you're a step late, if you're here, we won't be so passive......" Lex saw that everyone was okay and gave Shen Chao a brief description of the battle they had just now.

As a result, his brief description surprised Shen Chao, because according to Lex, when they finally faced off against Salen, who was controlled by the overlord, the completely corpsed Salon showed speed and strength that was not inferior to Shen Chao.

What level is this? That means they can barely beat Saren at that speed. What's even more impressive is that Saren's ability level was unbelievably strong at that time, and both Lex and Shepard couldn't suppress him.

Not only that, but at that time, Salen was also tactically incomprehensible, as if he could see through their actions, and easily dodged their attacks.

It was even more possible to break through their super-strong shields that had been redressed with a single move, and if it weren't for their numerical advantage, they might have been wiped out by the group beaten by Saren at that time.

Shen Chao couldn't help but rejoice when he heard this, and at the same time felt a little regretful. Fortunately, I didn't come to join in the fun, listening to this, this battle is still very suspenseful.

Unfortunately, he didn't get to see for himself what Saleen's combat power was like in its heyday, which had a big impact on his assessment of the Reaper's ground forces and biomodification technology.

A few hours later, they all left the Citadel Tower, which had been captured and supervised by hundreds of Marines from the Fifth Fleet. All remnants of Jace throughout the tower have been cleared.

And at this time, tens of thousands of marines have entered the fortress and began to carry out search and rescue work in the guard area. There is basically no need to think about the circle area, there is no complete building here except for the giant tower of the fortress, and it is not easy to find the ashes here.

The land of the Divine Castle that had experienced this battle was completely baptized, and looking at the ruins in front of him, God knows how long it will take for this place to regain its former prosperity.

Shen Chao and the others rested for a day on a hospital ship in the Fifth Fleet, and after Sister Xue's injuries were completely healed, they participated in various celebrations within the fleet.

In the following days, Sister Xue accepted a lot of honors, and the title of Divine Citadel Rescuer was confirmed. More importantly, in recognition of humanity's outstanding contribution to this campaign, the parliament has given humanity a seat in the council.

Of course, this is the official version, and what Shen Chao saw with his own eyes was a completely different scene, after the Battle of the Divine Fortress, the members of the council who stayed on the Destiny Transcendent strongly demanded to return to the Immediate Divine Citadel Tower, which was the location of the Divine Citadel's control room, despite the huge damage in the Circle Area. …,

That's where their transcendent right as a leading race comes from! Whoever controls the castle controls the room, who controls the galaxy! That's why all the intelligent races in so many ruined cycles will have their capitals here.

That's why the Citadel Council has never left the Citadel since its inception! This is the first time that all the members of the Council have evacuated the Citadel Tower!

The Citadel is far from the home of any intelligent race, and the control of the repeater means absolute power and control. Why, because if any race does not obey the authority of the Citadel Council, then the Council can remotely shut down the repeater of the space where that race is located!

While the repeaters that link several large cantilever arms are not something they can turn off, full control over the secondary repeaters allows them to limit the range of movement of a particular race and block the expansion of the entire population.

In this way, that race can be forced to recognize their authority. Previously, the council had abandoned the Citadel Tower and the Central Control Room in order to escape, but as soon as the Battle of the Citadel was over, they could not sit still.

The Divine Citadel is not under their control, and the control chamber is not under their control. Although it was the Star Alliance Navy that had just saved them that was now occupying the Divine Fort Control Room, they were still anxious.

Without control of the repeater, even if their race had a powerful fleet, they would no longer be in a position of transcendence.

They thought so, and so did Hackett, when the Fifth Fleet had effectively taken control of all areas of the Citadel after defeating the Overlord. Be prepared to use this as an important bargaining chip.

When the Citadel Council asks for a return, Hackett refuses to allow the Council to go back for security reasons. He wouldn't even allow the Manifest Transcendent to reopen back inside the Citadel.

In order to prevent the other party from forcibly rushing in, Hackett kept his ship and a cruiser squadron inside the fortress armguards, ostensibly for disaster relief, but in fact to prevent the other party from entering the fortress.

After confirming that he was in control, he asked the Marines to defend the Citadel Tower and not let anyone without his authorization enter. On the one hand, he urgently notified the Star Alliance Defense Committee and the Executive Council on the distant earth, and reported the progress and losses of the battle to the Defense Committee.
