Chapter 455: Drawdown and New Beginning

"Don't worry, although my fleet is not large enough to fight a large-scale battle with them now, time is on our side, I promise, the Theron people will not have a chance to destroy your earth......" Shen Chao did not explain too much why the Theron people would not have the opportunity to destroy the earth and the impact of their own space-time gate on the passage of time.

However, things have progressed so far, whether it is the fugitive fleet or the Theron people, they have already had a certain understanding of Shen Chao, and know that he is a person who must do what he says and what he does.

Therefore, although he still didn't know what Shen Chao had to retreat from the enemy, the representatives of the fugitive fleet hurriedly organized their own fleets to assemble and line up after leaving, and arranged their respective positions according to Shen Chao's requirements.

At this time, the preparations on the side of the Theron were almost underway, although due to the previous battle, these Theron people had lost more than a dozen battle fortresses in the previous battle and the time fleet, but now they still have 18 battle fortresses that are basically intact and 11 battle fortresses that have been damaged at different stages.

After the previous armistice, two damaged battle fortresses on the side of the Theron were abandoned by them because they were too badly damaged to repair. Even so, the total tonnage of these Theron fleets, determined to defect to the Planar Council, was much larger than the fugitive fleet.

Under Shen Chao's command, the fleets of both sides were lined up in a very loose formation near the space-time fleet. During their preparations, Shen Chao first sent all the small fleets in his fleet back to Space Station Zero to stand by.

After the fleets of the two sides were ready, Shen Chao asked several of his cruisers that were still here to carefully sail above the ships of both sides. And stick it with as little impact as possible.

After the ships of both sides completed this superficial "docking", the ships of the space-time fleet activated the Mass Effect core, reduced the weight of themselves and the other party's ships, and then Shen Chao carried them through one by one.

In this way, it took him almost ten hours to teleport the fleets of both sides back and forth to a large ground base in Australia on the Legendary Plane. Like the Starlink in the Mass Effect plane, they built the ground base where the spacecraft landed in the sparsely populated Australian desert very early.

There is a large area of uninhabited land, the terrain is flat, and the texture of the land is very solid due to the drought, which is suitable as a place for a large number of starships. After Shen Chao sent the entire fleet of both sides here, nearly a hundred large and small ships suddenly filled the slipway that was usually so empty that there was no end in sight. The usually idle tower is now busy with continuous rotation.

View from the 200-meter-high center console. Ships of all shapes and sizes continue to appear in the nearby airspace. And then under the guidance of the tower, he slowly landed on the super landing field in front of the tower.

Since Shen Chao never expected that the first batch would receive so many human and Theron ships, the scale of this landing site was still a little insufficient. Covering an area of 50 square kilometers, the landing site is not small, and the area is equivalent to 100 Tiananmen Square.

But even so, it still requires a very dense arrangement of landing slots so that all ships can land in the landing field. Because the battle fortress of the Theron is very large.

Even a single Theron battle fortress would normally occupy two to three Tiananmen Square's take-off and landing space. And this time they ushered in a total of 31 Battle Fortresses!

The fugitive fleet is a little easier to arrange here. Except for the two human combat aircraft carriers, the other civilian ships did not have such high requirements for the landing site, after a busy day. Finally, all the ships were scheduled to dock.

At this time, the fleet group docked here is like a steel city with no end in sight on the horizon, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, these stationary warships are like a group of mountains, which appear unshakable.

In order to channel the flow of passengers from the fleet to this area, the Plane Council brought back a large number of personnel from multiple planes to arrange for everyone's accommodation, security, and other chores. Based on their previous experience managing newcomers on a large scale, the first two weeks of these "guests" arriving in the Outer Plane are the most important periods.

If the council can arrange the accommodation, future work and basic life processes of all the "new immigrants" within the first two weeks, then these people will naturally accept the authority of the parliament and be happy to accept the follow-up arrangements of the council.

If, on the other hand, the parliament behaves very bureaucratic or inefficient during the first two weeks, it will greatly undermine the confidence of these "newcomers" in the parliament and make them less motivated to participate in productive life in the future.

Shen Chao is not an expert in this area, and he will not directly arrange the details of these people's lives except for authorizing his subordinates. However, as the undisputed supreme leader of the Space-Time Council and a de facto "mascot", he was still ready to stay here for two weeks to stabilize the psychological state of the new immigrants.

For this reason, he also sent a message to Alice on the Biochemical Plane who was waiting for him, and told her to start the follow-up without waiting for him. Of course, he didn't forget to hand over all the operational command of the biochemical plane, and he stayed behind to settle the new immigrants with peace of mind.

However, just like all his plans in the previous stage, at this stage of development, no matter how carefully he plans, he will inevitably encounter some disturbances.

On the sixth day of his stay at this base, an urgent communication request was passed over, and after seeing Sister Xue's signature, Shen Chao knew that she should have completed the previous visit and cleared the three Mass Effect games!

Shen Chao really had no way to guess what Sister Xue's reaction would be after visiting the Elysium plane, because Sister Xue had never shown obvious political factional tendencies when she came into contact with him. If you have to guess, Sister Xue seems to be a supporter of totalitarianism.

But this is just Shen Chao's conjecture based on the current situation, and he is not sure what it is. However, Shen Chao was still somewhat mentally prepared for Sister Xue's reaction after clearing the original 3 games of Mass Effect. Therefore, after taking a few deep breaths to stabilize his feelings, he still opened the communication.

"You've been aware of this until you know this, haven't you?" As soon as Sister Xue appeared on the dialogue screen, she asked such an unprovoked sentence, and people who didn't know the background of the Mass Effect world couldn't guess what she was asking.

Of course, Shen Chao, who has played all three generations of games plus all DLC, and has also followed Sister Xue to participate in one of the journeys herself, understands. He knew that Sister Xue was asking about the finale of the entire series.

At this time, Sister Xue in the call interface had obvious red circles under her eyes and messy hair. The room behind her was littered with a bunch of household appliances that had been restored to the state of parts, and judging from the handle on the ground, the shape could still be barely seen, Sister Xue should have just cleared the third and final Mass Effect game.

There is no doubt that the end of the game shocked her. Shen Chao didn't find it strange that Sister Xue was in a state and the questions raised at this time, even as a player and indirect participant, he would have some strong personal feelings for the final ending of the third part, not to mention Sister Xue as the protagonist.

"Yes and no, I know you must have a lot to say right now, and you may still have a strong desire to vent your violence, but I really can't leave now. If you want, you can ask your liaison officer to bring you to me, and I'll answer your latest questions here......" Shen Chao said in a reassuring tone as kind as possible.

"Okay, I'll go find your ......" Sister Xue surprisingly did not argue with him on this issue, but immediately turned off the communication, which made Shen Chao a little surprised. After all, it always felt that Sister Xue should be more irritable after learning about her original fate.

And in a luxurious villa on the Elysium space station on the Elysium plane of Elysium, Sister Xue tidied up her emotions a little, straightened her messy hair in the mirror, and then walked to the side and grabbed the liaison officer mentioned by Shen Chao just now.

Just now, when she had just cleared the game and lost control of her emotions and took out the furniture and electrical appliances to vent, the young liaison officer sent to him by Shen Chao stupidly rushed into the room to check, only to be accidentally injured and knocked unconscious by the violent dark energy field around her at that time......

"Hey, you, wake up, take me to see your boss......" Sister Xue grabbed the liaison officer with one hand and shook the other party to wake up and asked. Contrary to her own expectations, after she accidentally injured this young man just now, she did not feel regret or self-blame as she usually did after accidentally injuring an innocent, but felt a little happy.

A few days ago, when she just started playing these three games, the liaison officer next to her told her on behalf of Shen Chao that the plot in it would be very shocking, and when she played the first game, she didn't feel any shock, because she herself had already experienced the plot in the first part in reality, and some of them were more dangerous and grand in reality.

But when she played the second part, she did bring herself into it, because the plot had never happened to her before. Especially in the final battle of the second part, the pleasure she felt after seeing herself in the game lead the team to complete the "suicide mission" that was "impossible to succeed" was something she never expected.

After playing the second game, she had a good night's sleep. When she woke up, she couldn't wait to start the third game. In her opinion, since the first two parts were the heroes who completed the impossible task at the last moment, the third part should have an equally magnificent ending.

And this ending is the most important of all, because there is no doubt that the third part is about the invasion of the Reapers and the rebellion of the galaxy. This will be the part that will determine the life and death of countless people. However, to her surprise, the plot of the third game took a sharp turn. (To be continued......)
