The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2048. Strange race

On the southern side of the unknown star field, there is an unknown planet in its outer orbit.

The invisible spacecraft sailed in the empty outer orbit. Then the spacecraft exited the stealth mode and began to lower its altitude and enter the planet's atmosphere.

This spaceship is actually the Normandy that has been missing for more than a month!

Only the Normandy's hull was seen to be charred and damaged in several places, obviously having experienced a fierce battle.

However, now, even if the Normandy appears carelessly, no one comes to inquire about this planet where civilization should obviously exist, and not a single fighter jet comes to monitor it.

Shepard stood next to pilot Jeff Morrow, looking at the scenery outside the huge porthole. Looking at the lifeless city, she couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, "What planet is this?"

"If you count the planets that have completely fallen, this is the twelfth one. If you include those planets that are still resisting, then there are seventeen." Jeff Morrow replied.

"Mongal-Mongal is not in a hurry to decide the winner with us." Huang Yehao's voice came from behind. He was only seen wearing a sportswear, holding a glass of energy drink in his hand, looking very relaxed, "It It should also know that it cannot compete head-on with the tens of millions of battle robots on Levik's planet, as well as the increasingly large number of geth."

Huang Yehao's coming to the Normandy was actually very unjust, because as the commander of the Marine division on the Eternal super aircraft carrier, he should not have been on the Normandy, but in the end he was trapped here.

At that time, due to the continuous delivery of combat robots, and the special "legion" sent by the geth, they also began to work, building factories to produce more geth individuals, which made the originally stressful work of suppressing the rebellion a lot easier. .

As there are more and more battle robots, the resistance movement of the Xilu people becomes weaker and weaker. Coupled with the erosion of Mongar-Mongal, there is a common enemy on the planet with the same hatred, so the remaining resistance of the Xilu Empire The movement has largely disappeared.

Huang Yehao originally boarded Shepard's spaceship and wanted to follow them around. Because Shepard's mission is to expand the search scope, find more information about Mongar-Mongar, and at the same time find a way to get to their home planet, the planet Mugg-Faror.

As a result, when they entered a planet, they were suddenly attacked by a small fleet. This small fleet should all be battleships controlled by Mongar's clone. Although it was dilapidated and in disrepair, there were still several large battleships in it. The Normandy could only escape quickly.

As a result, after running far away, they found that the nearby hyperspace channel had undergone drastic changes. They could no longer return the same way and had to wander around in this star area.

"It wants to trap us." Shepard looked at the holographic star map and said, "As long as the threat of Mongar Mongar still exists, the star gate on Levik's planet cannot be completely opened, and it will always be in a A state of no entry and no exit. If this continues, the Dawn Principality’s patience will be exhausted, and Levik’s planet will become an isolated island.”

"Actually, the worst thing is that their activity level is increasing. These seventeen planets should have been infected in the past few months. Especially the eldest lady actually created an independent planet. When Gar Mongar realizes this, it will be a lot of fun." Huang Yehao sneered and expressed his extreme dissatisfaction with Shirley Birkin.

No matter in the past or now, people who sit in offices and use computers and people who carry guns and walk on the front lines of the battlefield can never coexist harmoniously.

"The scan has been completed, and no areas with particularly active life have been found on the planet. In other words, this planet is also completely occupied by Mongal-Mongal. If this continues, we will really be surrounded by it." Pilot Jeff Morrow said, "But we still need to find supplies on this planet, especially the fuel to support hyperspace navigation. Otherwise, we will have to go down and fight Mongar Mongar on an entire planet. With you."

Huang Yehao laughed, patted Shepard next to him on the shoulder and said, "Leave it to me. As before, the ghosts of Sen Luo and Death will help us guide the direction, and then we will join Ashley Williams and the others. Go get your stuff back."

"I'm heading over there. There is a large spaceport about 500 kilometers away. You can go there and have a look." Jeff Morrow said while operating the navigation system quickly. Suddenly, he frowned. "Oh...what the hell is that?"

"What's wrong? Clown." Shepard leaned over.

"There is a heat source in this spaceport. It is a spacecraft that is parked but the engine is not turned off. And... this spacecraft is so strange." Jeff Morrow said, pointing to the picture sent by the sensor.

I only saw a short, fat, caterpillar-like spacecraft parked in a berth of the space port. This strange spaceship was completely different from the spaceships on the planet they were on. It was obviously from other planets.

"I don't know if it's an alien spacecraft that was eaten by Mongar Mongar... I'll send a message and try it. If it doesn't work, be prepared to run away." Jeff Morrow said while using Chiss Yu sent a message over.

The language of the Chiss people is the most widely used in the unknown star field, just like English on a certain blue star. If you go to an unknown planet and don't know the other party's language, then using Chiss to communicate will at least not be too bad.

Unexpectedly, the communication responded!

A race that looks roughly humanoid appears on the screen. You can see that this person's body is covered with muscle tissue, and there are many ferocious scars on it. It looks very scary.

"What are you doing here? This planet is dead. Mongal Mongal won't pay attention to this place." The man usually spoke like he was roaring. He should be a very rude or heroic person. It was the Chiss language he spoke.

"We are explorers from the Principality of Dawn, coming to find traces of Mongar-Menggar's home planet. We want to completely eliminate them. I am their commander...well, boss, Shepard." Shepard She did not forget that she had a conflict with Tang Xiao because of her extermination policy against the Xilu people, and had been dismissed from her post.

"We are Croke, my name is Vishal Singh! Scientific researchers, come here to extract the samples of Mongal Mongal!" said the tall and burly man.

"Korok people? Never heard of it. It seems like you are very martial. No wonder you can resist the invasion of Mongar Mongar." Shepard looked at this man who was very capable of fighting at first sight, but he couldn't fight him no matter what. The scientific researchers contacted, "But why did you come to this remote planet to collect samples?"

"I have been staring at this planet for more than 170 years! Yes, the first Mongal-Mongal invasion here happened 170 years ago. The people on the planet resisted for decades, but in the end they were all eaten ” said Vishal, “I am documenting the life cycle of Mungal-Mongal!”

"170 years?? Are you kidding me? How old are you?" Huang Yehao was extremely surprised.

"Me? It should be 1129 years old? Oh no, it should be 1128! Well, that's right!" Vishal said.

"You have been studying Mongar Mongar for so many years? Then you must know the situation of their home planet, Mugg Faro, right?" Shepard asked.

Vishal Singh shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific coordinates. And I suggest you, if you don't have an invincible fleet, it's best not to go there. God knows that over the years, Mongal-Mongal has occupied How many people’s bodies have been taken, and how many battleships have been controlled by these bodies.”
