Chapter 286: Meeting

The Holy City of the Star Alliance, the City of Fraternity.

In the large conference hall, it is boiling at the moment.

"This is nothing short of shame and blasphemy!!"

Looking at the completely destroyed wreckage of the ring on the screen in front of him, the Prophet of Truth clenched his fist angrily and smashed the arm of his chair.

"Not only has the Ring of Sacred Miracles been destroyed, but even the Special Justice Fleet has been annihilated! This is an unprecedented disgrace!! ”

"We have to respond! We can't let humanity run rampant like this! ”

The prophet of sorrow on the side also spoke.

"However, we do not yet know the strength and intelligence of the enemy."

The Prophet of Mercy on the other side shook his head.

"If the report is correct, the other side only has a dozen warships, but it has annihilated the entire Special Justice Fleet, and even destroyed the Holy Miracle Ring, and its strength should not be underestimated. We have to find out where this fleet comes from and where it belongs. ”

"No matter who the other side is, there is no way to stop our pilgrimage."

The Prophet of Truth was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"The pilgrimage is about to begin, and this defeat has only strengthened our resolve. In fact, it also tells us that dangers and obstacles are everywhere on the path to the Holy Path, but that is not a reason for us to stop. ”

At this, the Prophet of Truth looked at the others, and the noisy races in the Great Chamber fell silent for a moment.

Immediately afterward, the voice of the Prophet of Truth sounded again.

"The great pilgrimage is about to begin, and the obstacles that stand in our way will eventually fail, and the Covenant ——— will pass through these obstacles and reach the end of our holy path!"

"Oh oh oh oh !!"

At this moment, cheers resounded throughout the grand conference hall.

Although the Prophet of Truth temporarily stabilized the unstable hearts and minds of the Covenant through his speech, the ——— situation still did not change.

"So, we're going to turn a blind eye to that fleet?"

At the end of the meeting, the Prophet of Mercy found the truth with a solemn expression on his face, and asked.

"For now, just a dozen warships will not pose much of a threat to the Star Alliance. As I said earlier........."

Saying this, the Prophet of Truth looked solemn.

"The pilgrimage is what we care about."

At the same time, the atmosphere at UNSC headquarters was similarly tense.

"I never thought that there would be such a fleet."

Terrance. Admiral Hood looked at the report in front of him with the same emotion. This is an old man who is almost the age of his sixtieth year, his beard is all white, but his face still reveals a rock-like determination——— as the supreme commander of UNSC, he does deserve this title.

"Are we really going to entertain them here? Sir? ”

Stand in Terrence. The other officer in front of Hood said with some trepidation.

"Of course, no matter where the other party came from, they defeated the Covenant fleet and helped us protect the Reach. For now, at least, they are not our enemies, nor are they the enemies of humanity. ”

"But don't you think their target is a little too unusual?"

What the officer was referring to was the previous report submitted by Colonel Holland, which described Duanmu Huai's goal for the Inquisition——— to eliminate all threats to humanity. Frankly, this goal is a bit too far for some senior UNSC officials. Although this fleet is indeed powerful, the Star Alliance is not just a planet——— it is a powerful cosmic empire born of several interstellar races and alliances, as the name suggests. And these interstellar races live on hundreds or thousands of planets, and it seems to most people that they are all destroyed.

Even UNSC himself never thought of completely destroying the Covenant, their goal was to defeat the Covenant's attack, and then sign a peace agreement with the other side after they took the initiative in the battle. After all, war is about death, and the fight between humans and the Covenant is obviously not a commendable choice.

Of course, there is also a group of extremists within UNSC, who have always believed that UNSC should use this to completely eliminate the Star Alliance. However, these ultra-radicals do not enjoy the support of the majority. The reason is simple, in order to fight against the Star Alliance, UNSC will completely take over the ruling power and implement the rule of the military government. In the face of the threat of the Covenant, this is naturally necessary to ensure the survival of humanity itself.

However, once the Covenant is repulsed, it is difficult to say whether it will be necessary to continue to sacrifice and fight for it. In addition, if the high pressure is maintained for a long time, it is easy to cause internal shocks. What's more, strictly speaking, completely destroying the Star Covenant would not be of any benefit to the current human race.

It is for this reason that most high-ranking military officers fear that contact with the Inquisition might drive the ultra-radicals into a frenzy and drag humanity into a protracted war. Therefore, many of them proposed to temporarily adopt a certain degree of long-distance contact with the Inquisition, but they did not expect Commander Hood to directly invite the other party to Earth.........

"They are the benefactors of Zhiyuanxing, so we naturally have to be polite to each other, and, in any case, we can only understand their intentions if we communicate first."

Commander Hood shook his head, and at that moment, a voice rang out.

"Report to the sir, the representatives of the trial court have arrived."

"I'll go right away."

Hearing this, Commander Hood stood up, tidied up, and strode out of the room.

The floodgates opened slowly.

Duanmu Huai strode out of the gate and stepped on the passage in front of him, on both sides of the passage, you can see soldiers in UNSC uniforms standing there, at this moment they looked at the pitch black, huge figure in front of them, they were also panicked, and hurriedly retreated.

Behind Duanmu Huai were Ogis, Ann, Audrey and Lorena, this time to meet with the UNSC executives, Duanmu Huai only brought the four of them. Ogis is Duanmuhuai's most familiar partner, so she naturally takes her with her everywhere. And Ann is the princess of Manalia, although she usually has a temperament that likes waves, but as a princess, she at least knows how to maintain etiquette and proportions in such occasions.

Audrey is the maid of Duanmu Huai, following behind the three of them, of course, as a former aristocratic lady, Audrey is no stranger to this kind of occasion.

As for Lorena, she was traveling as a representative of the Templar Order, and for this meeting, she also changed into her missionary priest's dress.

I have to say that these four beautiful girls plus Duanmu Huai have indeed attracted everyone's attention. On the one hand, whether it is Duanmu Huai or the girls, they are impressive enough in terms of appearance. On the other hand, their dresses and temperaments are different, which is also more eye-catching.

Duanmu Huai, who walked in the forefront, was wearing the armor of the Inquisition, and with his height and fierce face, he knew that he was a ruthless character at first glance.

But on the other hand, Ogis, who walked behind him, was dressed like a noble lady in a black gothic dress. And Ann rarely wears a sleeveless long skirt dress, and she also puts away her romantic personality on weekdays, giving people the first impression of being a princess.

Audrey and Lorena are even more distinctive, one is wearing a maid's costume and the other is wearing a priest's costume, even if you don't know, you can guess their occupations just by looking at their clothes.

Merely......... It feels somewhat anachronistic.

"Mr. Knight is so scary everywhere."

An maintained the breezy princess mode on the surface, but in private she also silently complained to Ogis next to her, who only nodded slightly.

"The owner's appearance seems to be very threatening to the creatures."

"Shut up, both of you."

Hearing the whispers coming from behind him, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes helplessly, Nima is now backstabbing with a joint attack? Or a combo?

Do you want people to live?

Soon, the group came to the auditorium of the Cairo space station located in the extraplanetary orbit, where Duanmu Huai also met with Hood, the supreme commander of the UNSC. As a battle-hardened soldier, Commander Hood was not so frightened when he saw Duanmu Huai, he just stopped slightly, and then came to Duanmu Huai as if nothing was wrong, and stretched out his hand to him with a smile.

"Hello, Your Excellency, I'm UNSC Supreme Commander Terrence. Colonel Hood, welcome to the Cairo space station. Here, on behalf of the UNSC, I would also like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you in the Inquisition for everything you have done to defeat the Covenant fleet and protect the Reach. ”

"You're welcome."

Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and shook Commander Hood lightly.

"As an Inquisitor, it is my duty to protect humanity and eliminate threats. For the Inquisition, any enemy that threatens humanity can only be destroyed. ”

"I can understand your thoughts."

Facing Duanmu Huai's words, Commander Hood just smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and then, he made a gesture.

"Please go this way, I think, we need more communication and understanding between us."

"That's what I thought too."

Looking at Commander Hood, Duanmu Huai nodded.

In fact, that's what they're here for.

After that, Duanmu Huai had a closed-door meeting with Commander Hood.

He didn't hide any information, and in the face of Commander Hood, Duanmu Huai was very frank about the past and present life of the Inquisition, the origin of mankind, the current threats to this universe, and their goals. After all, for Duanmu Huai, there is nothing to hide, and he is too lazy to be a riddler. Nine times out of ten, the mentally retarded believer who does this is a treacherous believer, so he doesn't have the time to spare.

After making everything that can be said clearly, it is up to them to decide what the rest of the other side plans to do.

After all, UNSC is also a civilization that has set foot in the universe, so it is not a problem to tell them some information and help them get ready, right?

But for Commander Hood, all of this Duanmu Huai said was a different story entirely.

It can even be said that his three views were completely destroyed, so that after Duanmu Huai finished speaking, the personnel on the UNSC side almost sat there dumbfounded, and did not come back to their senses for a long time.

I don't know how long it took for Commander Hood to come back to his senses and swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"Honestly, what you're talking about......... I can't believe it......... So, everybody come here..............."

"I hope you don't get me wrong."

Duanmu Huai shook his head.

"As I said, the human empire that once ruled the galaxy has long since been destroyed, and I am not here to ask you to recognize your ancestors, but to inform you of the predecessor and status of the Inquisition. In fact, there are many more human civilizations like you in the galaxy, many of them have gone through the same development process as you, and the Inquisition has no intention of reuniting the human empire, but whether the empire exists or not, nothing will change what the Inquisition does. We will not spare any attempt to threaten the existence of humanity and will wipe it out completely......... I think, now you know what I mean? ”

“………………… Yes, I see. ”

This time, in the face of Duanmu Huai's words, Commander Hu De's expression was serious, although everything the other party said was incredible, but if you think about it carefully, the other party has no reason to deceive himself in this kind of thing. And as Duanmu Huai said, he didn't tell himself or anything about this history, but simply told them the origin of the court.

It is conceivable that, if what the judge said was true, then the Inquisition Chamber was indeed a formidable organization.

Perhaps, they will really be able to completely destroy the Covenant?
