Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

"Oh?"

Hearing Serena's supplementary report, William immediately asked with some interest:

"According to what you mean... there may be relics of the forerunners in the galaxy where the City of Fraternity is located, right?"

"Yes, boss." Serena did not deny it:

"And based on the power, it can be judged that the remains of the forerunner are also the size of a celestial body."

"The size of a celestial body..."

Hearing this, William raised his left hand and gently pinched his chin, frowning and whispering.

Still speculating in his heart, he said, 'Could it be the halo? '

"Shua~."

"PhD."

"Ok."

At this moment, William heard the automatic doors on the first floor of the bridge open, and also heard the conversation between Halsey and other crew members.

Immediately afterwards, Halsey, who was still wearing loose casual clothes, used the elevator to reach the second floor of the bridge.

She went straight to William and said, "William, I have recently carefully studied the information on the ruins of Harvest Star.

Discovered a galaxy named 'Korinth Prior' by the Forerunner, and there is an artificial celestial body 'APEX' of the Forerunner in this planet

Although the specific location of the galaxy can only be stored on the colonial ruins of Arcadia, I can also generalize it to a star area. "

William wondered: "Peak?"

"right."

As Halsey said, she turned around and operated the screen on the center console, and brought out the star area she had summarized.

"Eh?"

The moment it was called up, Halsey noticed the star map of the outer cantilever marked by Serena, as well as the coordinates of the galaxy where the City of Fraternity was located.

Because the star area she summarized was in the area of ​​the outer cantilever, which was why she gave her an 'eh'.

William and others nearby also discovered this.

William even asked: "Catherine, Serena just discovered that there may be a forerunner celestial body in this galaxy.

Is it the peak you said? "

"Hum..." Halsey looked up at the star map and the city of fraternity on the holographic screen, raised his hand and gently squeezed the tip of his chin, and said:

"According to the information stored in the ruins, the summit is what you call the Shield World, its purpose is not only to resist the attacks of the Halo Pulse and the Flood, but also the star port of the forerunner 'Dreadnought Fleet'.

I think the weapon mentioned in the ruins should be the 'Dreadnought Fleet'. It seems that the Covenant directly found the shield world without relying on the guidance of the Forerunner ruins. "

"Really..." After hearing Halsey's words, William immediately had some thoughts.

He remembered that in "Halo Wars 1", the Star Alliance seemed to have found the location of the Shield World one step ahead, and kidnapped the female doctor of the Spirit of Fire, planning to use her to activate the shield world's weapons.

In the end, the shield world was blown up by a group of people from the Spirit of Fire, preventing the Covenant from obtaining the weapons of the Forerunner and increasing the chances of victory for humans.

"If the galaxy where the city of fraternity is located is also the galaxy where the shield world is located, then the city of fraternity will not leave there in a short time." William said quietly.

"That's right!" After hearing Halsey's analysis and William's words, Saom suddenly said emotionally:

"With the character of those three old guys, only after their goals have been achieved, they may drive the city of fraternity to leave!

So Russell, I still propose to raid the city of fraternity, to prevent the old things from obtaining the dreadnought fleet of the gods, and by the way, I can rescue my people! "

"Hmm..." Mike also nodded lightly, and echoed:

"Based on the Covenant's understanding of the Forerunner's technology, sooner or later they will obtain permission to use the Dreadnought Fleet, which will be very unfavorable to our situation.

I also agree with General Saom's point of view, and must obtain the right to use the Dreadnought Fleet before the Star Alliance. At worst, the Shield World and the Dreadnought Fleet mentioned by Catherine must be destroyed so that they cannot fall into the hands of the Star Alliance.

Of course, we can also rescue the people of General Saom, and by the way occupy or destroy the political center of the Star Alliance, the City of Fraternity. "

Seeing Mike's 'help', Saom immediately thanked him, "Thank you very much..."

"You're welcome, it's just a matter of fact." Mike said indifferently.

"Boss, according to the information provided by the doctor, I think the strategic significance of raiding the city of fraternity is really great." Selina suggested beside him:

"If the City of Fraternity will stay in the Corinth Priel system for a long time, then we can use the jump engine to make a surprise attack, so as to avoid being detected by the Covenant.

But the only problem is that it will take at least one month for the jump voyage, and one month is enough to change the situation of the abnormal war.

And after a month, I think that the senior management of Sangheili may have been wiped out by the prophets long ago.

So boss, I hope you can make the final decision rationally. "

"Of course." William waved his left hand lightly, then looked at the various information on the holographic screen, thought for a moment and said:

"If we can get hold of the Forerunner's dreadnought fleet, then the outcome of this war between us humans and the Covenant will be very clear.

And capturing or destroying the political center of the Covenant can also deal a serious blow to enemy morale.

I think raids are necessary, but in order to secure our human frontiers, with enough fleets and troops to defend them, the raids must be few and few. "

With that said, William looked at Mike and ordered: "Admiral O'Donahue, I am going to lead only the Zero Fleet to conduct a surprise attack.

So when Fleet Zero enters the slipspace, you and General Ostrovsky will be in charge of dispatching Umbrella's five fleets and the entire UNSC army.

Of course, General Ostrovsky is mainly responsible for the solar system, so you will be responsible for leading all mankind to deal with the Covenant...

So Admiral O'Donahue, are you qualified for the position of acting commander-in-chief? "

"Hehe." After hearing William's order, Mike smiled confidently, raised his right hand and saluted:

"no problem."

"Please." William also smiled at Mike, and then continued to order Serena:

"Serina, tell the engineering team to select one COS class and ten CCS class ships in the best condition, and concentrate energy, resources and manpower on these eleven warships.

Tomorrow morning, I want these twenty-two Covenant warships to be as good as new from the factory.

Also, let the doctor (049) and his research team, equipment, and aliens that are still being cultivated be transferred to the Star Destroyer. "

"Yes, boss."

Serena nodded and replied, and her pupils began to emit blue light, executing William's orders efficiently.

Finally, William looked at Soom who was standing opposite, and said in a heavy tone:

"General Saom, I hope you can choose your people, as well as the elite of Grunts, Jackals and other races, to board these eleven warships to carry out raids with us.

And... When we arrive in the galaxy where the City of Fraternity is located, your people may have been killed. I hope you can be mentally prepared for this. "
