Three months is not a long time, but it is not a short time.

And in the past three months, a lot has happened.

First of all, Starlink released information about the Reaper to the public, and declared that all mass repeaters would be blocked, and a wartime emergency would be completely declared. Naturally, the people who learned of this were panicked and suspicious, but fortunately, most of them were relieved to learn that the Inquisition would join the battle against the Reapers.

After all, the combat power of the Inquisition is here, and the citizens of the Star Alliance have seen how they cut melons and vegetables to clean up the Batarui people before, coupled with the religious bonus and the guidance of the Star Alliance officials secretly, intentionally or unintentionally, many people regard the Inquisition as the patron saint of mankind——— well, this is actually true.

Of course, it is not without "people of insight" who believe that humanity should not choose to be isolated from the rest of the world, but should stand shoulder to shoulder with other races against the coming threat. Isolating myself will only allow the Reapers to break through individually, and this is the time to show the power of the united civilizations of the universe.

However, most of these people were led to the territory of other alien civilizations by Lumielle's invitation at the beginning, and then the Star Federation also blew up the two main repeaters leading to their system, resulting in this group of people not coming back at all. Although the rest of the people shouted vigorously, most of the people did not accept them.

After all, people also have their own simple logic——— those alien fleets can't even win the Inquisition, so it's useless to unite with them? When the time comes, we will have to send our own fleet to help them, what if we are not enough to be invaded by the other side?

At this time, everyone can only sweep the snow in front of the door, and don't care about the frost on the tiles of others, right? We can't sacrifice ourselves to help those who have invaded us before, we don't have a problem with our brains! What are the lips and teeth, they are not all the way with us, what are they?

Then............... Here comes the reaper.

For the Citadel Council, the appearance of the Reapers was indeed "caught off guard", although they did make certain arrangements after receiving the warning from the Star Federation, but they did not expect that the Reapers would appear directly in their hometown!

This is not surprising.

As I said before, the quality repeater and the repeater are like a train station, so in the past, various races fought and chose to block the quality repeater with a large army, so that as soon as the other party arrived at the station, it would be attacked.

But the problem is that the Reapers, not the passengers of this train, they are the ones who built the entire mass repeater, and they are technically the drivers!

Since it is the driver who drives the train, where to drive and where to stop, it is not the driver's decision to pass the station?

Therefore, just when the army of the races such as Turui and Asari gathered to block the mass repeater, the reaper drove directly through the station and stopped directly at the door of his hometown.

When they received a request for help and found that they had been stolen and rushed back, the Reapers had already begun a large-scale attack and harvest on the home planets of various races.

And even if those alien alien fleets rush back to the home planet, nothing good will come of it, because the ......... awaits them There was only one massacre.

In the dark universe, hundreds of warships like huge metal octopuses swim in it, and they are like a colony of octopuses in the cosmic sea, wandering mercilessly in the universe.

"The target has been locked, attack!"

Staring at the huge Reaper battleship rushing towards him and the others, Captain Turui had a solemn expression, and then he raised his hand and gave the order.

"Fire !!"

Bursts of fire erupted from the turbulent battleship and blasted towards the Reaper in front of them. However, even the most powerful space fleet in the Citadel, their firepower hit these Reaper ships, but they only brought a little fire. At the same time, I saw the tentacles like metal octopuses in the front section of the Reaper battleship slowly unfold, and then a red energy beam suddenly shot out from it!

“———————！！！”

The bright red energy beam swept by, as if sawing wood, it was as easy as sawing wood to directly cut off the three turbulent warships blocking in front of him, and in just a moment, the three turian capital ships completely turned into flames and disappeared into the universe. Then the Reaper battleship continued to move forward, and the turbulent battleship behind it didn't know whether it was too late to dodge or tried to block it, but actually crashed head-on into the Reaper battleship——— and then turned into an explosive spark like a moth to a fire.

The Reaper battleship, which had passed through the flames, was unscathed and continued to move forward.

“…………………”

Seeing this scene, everyone in the Star Alliance couldn't help but gasp.

"That's what it is......... Reaper's fleet. ”

Li Longcheng stared at the screen and clenched his fists, it was not that Starlink had not fought against the Reaper. At the beginning, after the Divine Castle Ghost Seren was brainwashed and mutined by the Reapers, he once led an Overlord-class Reaper warship to attack the Divine Citadel, and was finally destroyed by the Star Alliance fleet.

Of course, at that time, the Reaper only had one battleship, and it was a righteous group fight, coupled with the activity of Shepard's siblings, so the Star Federation didn't find it too tricky.

But it turns out that when such warships appear in the hundreds, if not thousands, it is a different matter.

"It's good that we destroyed the mass repeater."

At this time, Admiral Hackett couldn't help but sigh.

"yes..............."

Hearing Admiral Hackett's emotion, Li Longcheng also nodded, although Duanmu Huai had warned them about the Reaper using the mass repeater to sneak attack, but only by seeing it with his own eyes did he realize how terrifying this power was. This is not something you can solve by deploying your forces on the home planet or the mass repeater, as reapers, who can freely manipulate the mass repeater, they can use this technology to appear in any weak place in the galaxy at will......... This is the biggest crisis.

Even the most powerful turbulent fleet of the Citadel is powerless in front of the Reaper army, so it is conceivable that the other races will not end well.

Although the Star Alliance has also begun to build new capital ships on a large scale in order to counter the Reaper fleet, it ......... Only a few dozen have been built, and in the face of so many Reaper warships, it is still a bit stretched.

There is no way to do this, after all, even if a battleship can be built, the crew is not born out of thin air. They are not like Duanmu Huai, who can directly produce a bunch of puppets to control the battleship.

"As it stands, how long will it take for the Reaper fleet to arrive?"

"I don't know, maybe a month or two, hopefully longer, Mr. Duanmu said that he will find a way to delay the arrival of the reaper as much as possible."

"All we can do is prepare as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Li Longcheng and Admiral Hackett glanced at each other and sighed at the same time.

After all, they have already made their choice, and as for whether this choice is the right one......... Only resigned to fate.

So at this moment, what is Duanmu Huai doing?

In fact, at the moment, Duanmu Huai is on the home planet of the Turui clan, and he has only one purpose here, that is, what he said to Li Longcheng before, to delay the speed of the reaper as much as possible.

“…………… Hmph, sure enough, even if it's Turui, it's just that. ”

Standing on a ruined city street, looking at the corpses all over the ground, Duanmu Huai's expression did not change in the slightest. He didn't come here to help Turui resist the Reapers, and it didn't do Duanmu Huai any good. However, he didn't intend to let the Reaper run wild here, for example.........

"Roaring —————!!!"

Suddenly, a beast-like roar sounded, and then Duanmu Huai saw a monster with white skin and blue eyes that seemed to be some kind of mutated zombie suddenly rushed out of the alley next to him, roaring and rushing towards Duanmu Huai————— and then he was directly blasted in the head by Duanmu Huai's punch and turned into a headless corpse.

"Hmph, it's a corpse puppet."

Looking at the monster in front of him, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, this is the reaper's specialty, they will stick the dead corpses on the pillars and transform them into corpse puppets to use as an army of ground raids. Once the entire planet is emptied, then these corpse golems are taken away, transformed, and become part of the true Reaper.

From this point of view, the Reaper and the Tyranid attack method is quite similar, they are both local supply blasters, and the more the opponent dies, the stronger they become.

And for Duanmu Huai......... This is tantamount to a rehearsal for dealing with the Zerg.

"You like to play with corpse golems, then......... Let me see if your corpse puppet is powerful, or if my corpse variant is more ruthless. Is the Reaper strong, or the Blood Moon is powerful! ”

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand, and then a soul card appeared in his hand.

Unleash ——— [Profane Sphere]!

"Boom —————!!!"

The next moment, the ground behind Duanmu Huai suddenly cracked, and immediately after, a pitch-black stone tablet broke through the ground and stood on the ground. Then on the surface of the black stele, bright red runes gradually lit up!

Invisible fluctuations swept across the entire ruins, and the next moment, I saw the corpses of those turbulent people on the ground, which suddenly began to expand and twist, and sharp bone spurs popped out of their arms, and wriggling and twisted tentacles erupted from their open mouths. Then, the monsters stood up one after another...............

"Destroy all the enemies that stand in our way, and destroy them completely!"

"Woo woo !!"

With Duanmu Huai's order, the next moment, countless corpse mutants let out a sharp whistling, and then they dispersed in all directions like hungry beasts!

And for the Turks, this is the beginning of the nightmare.
