Chapter 533: The Noble Squad of the Divine Shadow
And Shen Chao, who had been monitoring and observing his reaction outside, smiled when he saw this. The intense mood fluctuations mean that the "kamikaze martyrs" believed, or at least partially believed, the plot described in the strategy video.
As long as this is true, he has a great deal of confidence in transforming this elite warrior with a very high social status within the Star Alliance into a powerful assistant or at least a collaborator within the Star Alliance for his subsequent exploration plans.
The entire war against humanity waged by the Covenant was based on its support for the religion of the Precursors, and if they could have given evidence against it at a critical time in the war, it would prove that the entire "holy war" was a conspiracy of the Council of the Prophets.
Then, the Star Alliance, which has invested a lot in the war and lost hundreds of millions of soldiers, will inevitably have civil strife due to the collapse of faith. And once that happens, it will be the perfect time for the expedition to explore the plane.
Just when Shen Chao was slowly wasting time here, preparing to plot against the "kamikaze martyrs", the others on the ring belt were not idle, and the master chief had already obtained the indexer at this time, and was looking for the Precursor spaceship mentioned by the 343 Spark of Evil.
Halfway down the road, Master Chief suddenly stopped. He stopped in front of a large tree and crouched down to take a closer look at his surroundings. Here are some marks that he is familiar with, and only he and the Spartan II warriors who grew up with him will use them to "leave a message" for him.
"What's wrong?" We don't have time to appreciate the flowers, Restoration. Our boat is just a short distance ahead. "343 Spark of Guilt saw that the Master Chief had stopped for no reason, and flew over to urge.
Nearby is a small mountainous area, all the mountains are covered by dense primeval forests, and there is a lot of fog surrounding the mountainside, the scenery is not bad, and it can be a scenic spot on the earth, but now is by no means the time to enjoy the scenery.
Master Chief paid no attention to the urging of 343 Spark of Sin. Instead, he followed the route given by the markers for a few minutes and walked into a mist-shrouded mountain stream. Eventually, in a small hidden valley, he found the people who had left those marks, or rather the camp of these people.
It's like it's hidden from anyone, and it's very secluded. There are also quite a few soldiers on duty at fixed posts. Due to the nearby geography and weather conditions, it is impossible to discover this camp without getting close.
After confirming that this was the camp set up by the crew of the Autumn Wind, the non-commissioned officer walked over generously to identify himself. As he expected, those markers were left behind by George, who had not been heard from them since they landed on the ring.
"Don't come unharmed, John! At the camp gate, George greeted with a sigh of relief when he saw the Master Chief. The traces that the Master Chief had seen on the road before were laid by him, in order to contact him secretly.
"You, too, George, did you hide it on purpose?" The Master Chief asked, looking at the hidden camp.
"It's a long story! George sighed and began to explain their whereabouts. As he spoke, he took him to Captain Carter. Ever since landing on the belt, he has been with his captain and a Marine.
The reason why they didn't respond to the previous communication requests from Captain Case and Master Chief was not because they couldn't receive a signal, but because he and Captain Carter had carefully discussed the strategy to deal with the expedition's tracking.
Half a day earlier, while they were still aboard the Autumn Wind Pier, the injured Captain Carter realized that his team was being targeted by the expedition. Otherwise, they would not have been able to see the Marines holding the same weapons from the expedition when they boarded the ship.
It was also at that moment that they realized that they might see this elusive space-time expedition in the near future, and sure enough, not long after they landed, they arrived near the site of the Autumnwind Dun's landing.
At that time, the first soldiers sent by the Covenant to seize the ship had just arrived. Haven't yet attacked the Autumn Wind Dun. Just as they were about to help, the expedition team showed up and "rescued" Captain Keith and his party. They even saw Noble6 from afar, which was thought to have died in battle on the Reach.
Then. Captain Carter, who saw this scene from afar, immediately decided to hide the whereabouts of his group and practice radio silence. Before understanding the situation, resolutely do not leak your own savings. The drastic turn of the tide of battle in the past few days and their current location made him very suspicious that there was no expedition in it.
The expedition had been helping them until then, but who knows what the expedition had been doing before that? A series of coincidences before and after boarding the ring belt filled them with doubts. The fact that Noble6 was alive and following the expedition in this ring aroused all the "conspiracy theory" ideas in their minds.
After meeting Captain Carter, they exchanged important information on their newfound possession, and learned that Master Chief was on the lookout for a Precursor ship with the help of a Belt Guide. The two sides decided to work together to find the ship and leave the ring.
However, when Master Chief mentions that Noble 6 will be in charge of breaking off and bringing Cortana back, he is opposed by Captain Carter.
"We can't wait for them,... The 6th may have been reversed! Captain Carter paused, but still spoke his worst guess. He then helped Master Chief review their previous operations. The limited interaction between the Noble team and the expedition team during the Reach Star is recounted.
Master Chief frowned when he heard their narrative, and he took a moment to review his previous encounters and exchanges with the expedition.
"So, they watched for a long time, just to recruit Spartan warriors like us!" "The Master Chief finally came to this conclusion.
"That's probably not their only purpose, but it's definitely one of their purposes. George's answer reminded Master Chief of some very bad possibilities, as he had no doubts about the ability and loyalty of Noble 6 when he had run separately.
But considering the new information he got from here, there is a high probability that the other party has already defected to the expedition, and if this is true, then it would be a huge mistake to hand over the task of recovering Cortana to the other party! Thinking of this, he was ready to leave the George he had just met, and prepared to rescue Cortana himself. However, in the end, he was stopped by George and his party.
"You can't go back, John. The expedition was outnumbered and reacted extremely quickly. I've seen them conquer a Covenant supercarrier in less than half an hour, and if we stay here any longer, they'll find out! At that time, the time that this machine qì people helped us win will be in vain! George strongly discouraged.
"Listen to the words of this Revert, he is right, those primitives are powerful, you should listen to me, find the ship and leave this ring as fast as possible!" 343 Spark of Evil also agreed.
After being persuaded by many people, the Master Chief finally decided to go to the Precursor ship first, but he did not give up on Cortana. With the help of 343 Spark of Sin, their line of pure "descendants of the Precursors" finally found what the other party called the Precursor spaceship.
From the outside, the so-called Precursor ship was an ordinary cargo among the many buildings in the Ring, but after 343 Spark of Sins opened a series of doors and led them inside, the ship's appearance leaked out.
Probably considering that there will be no regulars on the ring, this Precursor spacecraft is not large, and the cabin can carry thousands of people when it is fully loaded. But for the few survivors around them, the ship was big enough.
While 343 Spark of Guilt instructed them on how to steer the ship, Master Chief left the chip full of Precursor technical information and prepared to return to the ring belt to find the Noble6 that had been taken to Cortana, but George decided to come with him.
At this time, Noble6 was also trying to contact the Master Chief. He had only convinced Cortana to enter the storage he had brought with him a few minutes earlier. Having been missing for a while, Cortana was initially reluctant to enter the storage he had brought back.
After finally getting Cortana in his hands, he was a little drumming in his heart. No matter how he justifies his actions, he is already an out-and-out traitor to the UNSC, and he is ready to confess his intentions when he goes to see the Master Chief this time, but he doesn't know if the other party will understand and support his actions.
Before he could come up with a result, the communication interface on the HUD popped up, and it was the Master Chief who was contacting him. According to the previously agreed secret words, they reported to each other the progress of their actions and agreed on the coordinates of the meeting place. They met at a lake in the middle of the forest, which was sheltered by the forest and had a good view.
When Noble6 arrived, Master Chief and George were already waiting for him, and as soon as they saw George, Noble6 knew that his ambiguous relationship with the expedition should have been revealed. But that didn't stop him, and as he got closer, he even greeted George.
"I'm very happy to see that you don't have missing arms or legs, No. 6!" George beckoned first, but the other hand was firmly gripping the weapon in his hand, clearly not believing himself.
"You too, George! They greeted each other politely, but the context was very light, not at all like the comrades-in-arms who had been born and died together a day ago. (To be continued......)
PS: First of all, thank you for the "Dolphin Adong, Bastard +3 level" and the "valky" who rewarded the monthly ticket after last night's update
The recent slowdown in the black cat's update is not only strange to everyone, but also a little unexpected by the black cat itself, especially yesterday, obviously the code was in a good state, but suddenly it broke off the train of thought......
If the next few days are not too busy, I will try to recover and try to return to the state of two shifts a day.
