Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

"Shh~——!"

In an instant, another 'lightning' of blue light quickly swept towards the Flood Fleet vertically.

boom--!

More than a dozen Flood warships were destroyed by this 'lightning' attack.

Just two 'lightning' attacks caused the Flood Fleet to lose nearly a hundred warships, equivalent to one-tenth of the number.

And these 'lightning' came from the six dreadnought battleships controlled by Serena.

Just looking at the left side of the Star Destroyer-class flagship, the six warships were arranged in a small matrix, five in a circle and one in the middle. Just like when the matrix was used to open the portal, the five dreadnought battleships were connected by blue light beams, and the beams converged to the dreadnought battleship in the center.

The difference is that when the portal is opened, the beam of light emitted by the dreadnought battleship in the center of the matrix is ​​a faint blue light.

But the two 'lightnings' just now emitted blue light representing the technology of the forerunners.

(In the first two episodes of the broken station "Halo Legend", there are scenes where the forerunners use dreadnoughts to form a matrix to destroy the Flood fleet.)

Inside the bridge at this time.

The edge of the second floor of the bridge.

Standing behind the railing, William could clearly see the damage to the Flood fleet through the giant porthole in front of the bridge, and using his extraordinary eyesight.

"Not to mention, six dreadnoughts are able to suppress the Flood-infected Star Alliance fleet. They are indeed the pioneers of the third-level civilization."

Phew~————!

While William was sighing, the dreadnought matrix controlled by Serena fired another vertical attack at the Flood fleet.

see.

William asked Halsey, who was standing on his left hand side, in a low voice: "Catherine, if you can crack this matrix technology...

Can frigates like the Paris class and the Roger Young class also achieve the firepower of the dreadnought battleship? "

"Hum..." Halsey didn't answer William directly, but after pondering for a moment, he raised his head to meet William's gaze and said:

"I have been cracking the matrix and teleportation technology of the Forerunner for the past two months. Both of these technologies require large-scale devices to generate, which is why the dreadnoughts are all unmanned.

The portal is more like some kind of space cutting technology, the cutting technology that is really like folding two pieces of paper in half and piercing with a pencil.

That is to say, reaching the destination in an instant, which is several orders of magnitude stronger than the Federation's wormhole engine.

After all, according to the results of the computer simulation, it can be known that when the battleship enters the wormhole generated by the wormhole engine, it will be in a completely static state for up to three minutes.

Three minutes is enough for the fleet of advanced civilization to change the situation of the battle.

Even the Forerunners can't shrink the matrix device, so even I can't do anything, sorry..."

"It's okay, there's nothing to be sorry about." William raised his hand and gently touched the top of Halsey's head, and said with a smile:

"Wouldn't it be nice to equip each fleet with several dreadnoughts at that time? Regular navigation depends on warp speed, and crossing galaxies depends on the matrix, right?"

"Yeah." Halsey nodded with a smile on his face.

Phew————~!

As soon as the conversation was over, the Dreadnought Matrix fired another beam attack, further weakening the Flood fleet.

And this kind of 'lightning' emitting blue light can also clear the spore haze surrounding the Flood fleet, but the effect is slightly inferior to Kaisha's biological barrier.

"Boss." At this time, Carmen also turned to report to William Hui:

"The Divine Body Troops and the MS formation have entered the range of the Flood Fleet and are currently engaged in battle with the Flood Fleet. Will our flagship provide fire support for them?"

Hearing Carmen's report, William turned his head and looked out the porthole, and saw the Flood fleet that had already ignited sparks, then nodded and said:

"Okay, launch tactical missiles with Hector I warheads for barrage support, and Gauss cannons, plasma cannons, and beam particle cannons for precise shooting."

"Yes!" Carmen responded loudly, then looked down the bridge, and ordered with a wave of his hand:

"Lock the enemy warship!"

"Quantity fifty-three, locked."

"Fire!"

Following the dialogue between Carmen and the crew, many missile bay doors were opened above the Star Destroyer-class hull, and then a large number of tactical missiles rose into the sky.

Turn ninety degrees and shoot quickly towards their respective targets.

At the same time, the gauss cannon with blue ray ballistic, the plasma cannon of the blue plasma group, and the beam particle cannon with orange-yellow beam also launched a salvo of artillery fire under Carmen's order.

for a moment.

The sparks of the Flood Fleet are becoming more and more dazzling. If you don't know it, you may think that there are fireworks at the level of battleship artillery.

See the battle has been decided.

William turned his head to look at Serena who was not far behind, and said to her softly: "Serena, just keep the dreadnaught on defense."

heard the words.

Serena's pupils returned to normal, then nodded and said: "Yes."

However, just as Serena returned to normal, her pupils flashed a blue light again, and she walked quickly to William's right hand side, Shen Shenghui reported:

"Boss, according to Master Ivan's report, the Flood Fleet's resistance was not fierce, and after being hit by our fierce artillery fire, they actually chose to fall towards the surface of the Ark."

"Falling towards the surface of the ark?" William frowned, and said, "It seems that another Gravemind has appeared, and the other party clearly wants to fight us on the ground."

"That's right." Halsey at the side also echoed: "Because of the existence of the defenders of the temple, our warships cannot carry out orbital attacks. It seems that it is somewhat difficult to purify the Flood on the ark at once. what."

"." William was silent for a moment.

Then he looked at the ark outside the porthole again, stared at the central area of ​​the ark's surface, thought for a moment and said softly:

"There is a 'guide' on the large man-made celestial bodies of the forerunners. If we can find this guide...

Then the possibility of eradicating the threat of the Flood is still very high. "

"Guide?" Serena was taken aback.

"That's right." William said lightly, "It's the artificial intelligence of the Forerunner, which controls most of the authority of the celestial body where it is located."

"The vast majority of authority?" Halsey discovered the key point and said, "The leaders don't have absolute control over the creations of the forerunners?"

"Yes." William turned his head to look at Halsey again, and explained:

"You once said that we humans are the 'recyclers' finalized by the forerunners, even the elite group said so, then we humans should also have control over the core technology of the Ark.

So, since that Gravemind wants to play ground war with us, let's play ground war with him.

However, let me find the guide and activate the comprehensive defense mechanism of the Ark, then it will only have to wait for death. "

As he said that, William ordered Serena: "Serena, let Keisha prepare, purify the gods and mobile suits led by Ivan, and let them return to the hangar of the Star Destroyer first."

"yes."
