"No, Admiral, that may not be possible, I suspect that the Reaper has other agents in the galaxy, I'm afraid that someone else will arrive before your fleet arrives," Sister Xue surprisingly did not reply, "Yes, sir", but suggested that she might not be able to do it

"Then what do you do when you build yì?" Hackett frowned and asked, if even Shepard, the best soldier of the Star Alliance, said that he couldn't do it, then he wanted to hear the reason and the solution.

"The initial reconnaissance has been completed, and in a while I will lead a team to board the Collector's warship before people from other forces rush to this system, and gather as much intelligence as possible."

Sister Xue proposed her own plan, and it seemed that she was ready to play the most dangerous lone army again, but if she thought about it carefully, she seemed to be able to win every time she did this

"In doing so, I want to know where they came from, why they attacked you, and most importantly, if they really work for the Reapers

Also, as close as possible to this battleship, we need any updates on their main gun technology to report to me immediately......" Hackett said the epilogue, he approved Sister Xue's plan, and gave the order

"Yes, sir" Shen Chao and Sister Xue saluted together and replied, and then the other party's communication hung up, and Hackett went to arrange the fleet he promised

After ending the communication with Hackett, Shen Chao and Sister Xue returned to i, and after comparing the latest information, they discussed the specific details of the operation

At the end of the day, Hackett made it clear that only one of the two of them could board the Collector Battleship at any one moment, and that he couldn't afford to lose two Ghosts

Therefore, who is the first team to land is the focus of discussion at this time, and after some competition, Sister Xue still earned the right to be the first to board the ship

Shen Chao didn't fight with her much, although he really wanted to get some collector's weapons and equipment, but he was not in a hurry for a while, he could wait for Sister Xue to finish exploring the road before going

Half an hour later, Sister Xue's Marine Corps was ready, and two shuttles, protected by Shen Chao's fighters, approached the Collector battleship and successfully boarded it

Shen Chao sent two squadrons of fighters with cracker torpedoes to circle around the Collector battleship, ready to blast a hole in the fragile hull at any time to meet the marines inside

Sister Xue's marines seemed to have nothing to do after boarding the ship, and Sister Xue and the others didn't encounter any obstacles along the way, but when they entered the suspected master control room and started downloading each other's numbers, the situation suddenly changed

"Radar targets, more than 40 heat signatures, and hundreds of unidentified targets are showing heat signatures," an officer of an electronic warfare team reported that he was monitoring the number from a group of detectors that had been placed next to the Collector warship

"Pass over" Shen Chao heard this command Immediately, dozens of moving red dots suddenly appeared in an area inside the collector battleship on the hologram in front of him

It was the marked heat source, which should be a team of collectors, and their location was outside the control area where Sister Xue and the others were

At the same time, there are many other places on the ship that are beginning to show heat signatures, and it is clear that more collector instances are being thawed

"Commander, you have a guest there......" Shen Chaotong tried to warn Sister Xue on the communication channel, but he was a little late to warn

"You also need to say that we have already handed over the fire" Sister Xue's voice was mixed with the sound of firefights and explosions, and while she was directing the battle, she still had the heart to describe to Shen Chao the enemy they had just encountered

Shen Chao listened to her description and looked at the blurry image that had just been transmitted to confirm the situation, Sister Xue, the enemy they encountered was indeed a collector, and it did have a powerful inferior weapon

According to Sister Xue's description, this weapon has a very good effect on the shield on their bodies, and if it weren't for the limited level of the other party, their situation would probably be very dangerous

"How's the number jù collected?" Shen Chao asked about the implementation of the other party's task, and he believed that Sister Xue would definitely be able to cope with the situation in front of her

"Tully is in charge, it should be soon," Sister Xue said, concentrating on directing the battle, but after a minute, the first group of enemies were all wiped out

"What's going on now, have you gotten the number jù?" He asked immediately after hearing the exchange of fire

"Got it, what's going on outside?" Sister Xue asked, and she naturally realized that the one she had just killed would not be the only enemy

"See for yourself," Shen Chao said, sending over the scene of the hologram in front of him, and there were hundreds of red dots on the map indicating that the enemy was moving towards the control room

"** ......" Sister Xue couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth after seeing the hundreds of targets approaching on the map, in the battle just now, they had already experienced the ferocity of the enemy's firepower, and now there are hundreds of them, no wonder she is in a bad mood

In the following ten minutes, Sister Xue and the others fought these collectors in the enemy ship, and under Shen Chao's guidance, they avoided the largest groups of enemies all the way, rushed to the evacuation point, and finally led the team out safely

At this time, there were already more than 3,000 red dots on the hologram of the collector battleship in front of Shen Chao, and it seemed that the collectors had really been hibernating before, and the number was even larger than they had estimated before

"How many enemies are there now?" Sister Xue threw down her helmet and asked as soon as she arrived, the purpose of her going deep into the enemy ship just now was to collect intelligence and to lure out the enemy and estimate the specific number of enemies

"There are still 3,142 targets, and you just killed 141 ...... along the way," Shen Chao said as he moved the number to the most prominent position

"Great, maybe we will take it here for a month" Sister Xue saw this ironically, seeing this number of private enemies, even she had a headache after all, she had personal experience

The weapons in the collector's hands are much more powerful than ordinary Mass Effect guns, and in the battle just now, the high-level shields on their bodies can only resist and will be broken by them for a very short time, which makes her very unhappy about the battle ahead

Over the next two days, they organized several new raids, constantly creating new gaps in the Collector ships in preparation for the arrival of reinforcements in a few days

Shen Chao also led a team into the Collector Battleship once, but he didn't go to get in-depth intelligence, but to get some Collector weapons

He led two squads of soldiers and a few members of the team engaged in a brief exchange of fire with the Collectors, and managed to acquire over 50 Collector Inferior Beam Launchers before they withdrew

After two days of fighting in turns, Shen Chao and the others were already very familiar with the characteristics of the Collectors, and summed up some techniques to deal with them, and even reduced the number of enemies on the Collector Battleship by one-fifth

And they finally determined that the Collector's battleship really didn't have a secondary cannon, only a non-Chenli inferior main cannon

Therefore, the battleship was almost completely defenseless against incoming fighters and shuttles after lying on its stomach, and although there were a small number of unmanned fighters, it could not threaten the Budapest

During the siege, the Collector also attempted to repair damaged reactors and wiring and escaped, but was stopped in time by Budapest's main guns each time

The Collector Battleship will take a shot every time it is charged, and although it is not a critical hit, so it does not explode, but it also turns the Collector Battleship into a hornet's nest and the hull leaks everywhere

During this period, the Collector warship once sent all the unmanned fighters to harass Budapest, but under the careful command of Shen Chao, Budapest kept its distance, and these unmanned fighters were eliminated by the secondary artillery department in batches

On the 3rd day of guarding the Collector battleship, their first support ship arrived, and the heavy cruiser Cairo arrived here first and took on the command responsibility, and it was Anderson who was in charge!

It turned out that due to Sister Xue's limelight and Hackett's promotion, he is now also a resident detachment of the Fifth Fleet

This time, it was Hackett who directly assigned him a group of warships and asked him to be responsible for assisting Shen Chao in their work, and after Anderson arrived, Shen Chao could only go to Cairo with Sister Xue to discuss specific combat arrangements

The damage in Normandy has been largely repaired, and while the interior is still in disarray, the weapon systems and FT are working and basic combat effectiveness has been restored

It took them a few hours to formulate a detailed battle plan, and Shen Chao also found that his ability to command and formulate battle plans for warships was still a lot behind that of a veteran like Anderson

A day later, the members of their support fleet arrived one after another, cruisers and frigates, all of which belonged to the First and Fifth Fleets of the Star Federation, a total of nine warships

On the contrary, there was no movement from the other forces expected by Sister Xue, and it seemed that the largest force that the Reaper could direct in the galaxy at present was the Collector, which also made Shen Chao more confident in his next plan

Back to the present, each of the warships that came to support them had received different orders and rushed here, some captains thought they were here to carry out escort missions, and some received rescue missions and arrived at the scene, and they all started planning under the command of Anderson

First of all, the detachment dispatched a group of fighters to carry out a new close bombardment of the Collector battleship, blowing up some new passages

Then more than a hundred shuttles rushed into the designated position, and the first two battalions of the Star-League Marines were deployed, and then there was no new battle for warships

Eventually, after committing a total of 1,600 marines and after a full day of fierce fighting, they emerged victorious and captured the Collector ship

During this time, the landing Marines lost nearly 200 Marines, who could have been able to wipe out all the collectors on the ship at once with pulse bombs

But doing so would likely destroy the vital information and biological samples they needed, so Anderson opted for the most costly method of occupation
