Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

"It's about time."

While speaking, Sui Bian waved his hand to dissipate all kinds of data imaged by the center console, turned around and walked towards the giant porthole at the front of the bridge, and ordered to the Red Queen:

"Inform Robert they are going to hold a brief meeting."

"Yes." The Red Queen agreed.

Afterwards, Sui Bian stopped and turned to face the entire bridge, with his back to the porthole with excellent scenery.

The red queen was standing on his left hand side, and the white queen standing on his right hand side was holding a long straight sword with a scabbard and a hilt large enough for both hands to hold together.

The main color of the scabbard and hilt is still the black that best shows Umbrella's style. If you look closely, you can see that it has a delicate gold thread pattern.

The end of the hilt is also inlaid with a transparent gem that reflects light red under the light.

Waited for a moment.

A large number of blue "light spots" surrounded by the wind emerged from the bridge, gathering together, making Robert, John, Russ, Sanguinius, and Angron wearing the power armor of the Primarch appear in front of Sui Bian in turn. forward.

"Father." Robert, the eldest son, spoke first on behalf of the brothers, "Did there be any news from Corax and Nova?"

"That's right."

Sui Bian raised his right hand, took the long straight sword from Queen Bai, and then changed his left hand to hold the scabbard, and said to his five heirs:

"As planned, the Covenant Empire fell into uncontrollable civil strife, and now it lacks a command hierarchy. This is when they are at their weakest. Remember how I taught you?"

As if recalling the past, the five primarchs smiled at each other, and then replied in unison: "While it is sick, kill it!"

"Hahaha! Yes!"

Sui Bian, who received a satisfactory answer, also laughed heartily, which is extremely rare. Immediately afterwards, he held the hilt of the sword with his right hand, made a gesture of drawing the sword, and exhorted with a little excitement:

"Children! There is no need to say too much, but there is one thing I need to say, that is, with the force of destruction, the Covenant Empire has no power to fight back!"

"Father, rest assured!"

At this time.

"Clang!" With a metallic cry, Sui Bian drew his sword with his right hand, allowing the cold and sharp blade to rush out of the scabbard

"Hoo~!"

The moment the sharp blade was released, the restlessness of the burning fire spread throughout the entire bridge, and a golden flame was seen, filling and enveloping the blade of the long straight sword.

Facing the raging fire, Sui Bian raised his sword and shouted loudly: "Let's go!"

"Yes! Father!"

The Primarchs also responded excitedly, and actively dissipated their holograms.

see.

Sui Bian waved his right hand, extinguished the blazing fire, and put the sword back into the scabbard accurately.

This long straight sword called the Sword of Regent is the one that Sui Bian favored most among his many collections.

When Hephaestus forged the sword, he absorbed immeasurable spiritual power from him. If anyone other than him and the ten Primarch's sons tried to draw the sword out of the scabbard, the best result would be Soul flies shattered.

Withdraw the blade.

Sui Bian handed the ruling sword to Empress Bai again, and let him, the secretary, keep it, and turned to face the porthole to watch the scene outside the window.

at his feet.

It is a Harvest Star with a blue atmosphere and the surface is covered with various plants and crops.

look forward.

In the background of the deep space of the universe, there are more than 1,200 warships and ships of various types, one by one, opening the transition channels of different scales, and sailing into the fault space in turn.

At such a grand and mighty moment of expedition, the red and white queens, who are artificial intelligence, used the muscle fibers on the face of the prosthetic body to show a little emotional and passionate expression.

Although the two of them couldn't understand human emotions very well until now, they knew that the war provoked by the Covenant Empire was of great significance.

Because this is the largest interstellar war since Umbrella disclosed the existence of the Primarch and the Astartes and involved this group of extraordinary warriors.

Maybe…

No, it should be human beings in the future. If an all-out war breaks out with other alien forces, its scale will inevitably exceed this time.

So the two of them can understand the significance of the first battle, and the Red Queen has been providing intelligence assistance to the mixed fleet and the remaining troops.

Naturally, the White Queen was not idle.

Now she needs to secretly regulate the human economy, and also needs to film the scenes of the five mixed fleets going out, edit and upload them to the Internet, and then monitor and control public opinion on the Internet.

Seeing all the mixed fleets sailing into the fault space, and the vortex entrances disappearing one after another, Sui Bian turned slightly sideways, looked at the White Queen beside him and asked:

"How the public reacted to the expedition."

heard the words.

The double pupils continued to emit a faint blue light, and the Hui reported: "In view of the previously released video of the gang war, the public is full of confidence in this war, and the number of people actively joining the army has also increased a lot."

"Well, continue to maintain the current situation."

"OK."

"The Red Queen." Sui Bian looked sideways to the other side, and said to the Red Queen, who was the twin sister of the White Queen, "Notify Leon and Magnus that it's time to set off for the Corinth galaxy."

"yes."

"Also, tell them for me that they must pay attention to their own safety."

"yes."

Shortly after the conversation ended.

Through the porthole, Sui Bian saw a firm-class ship belonging to the Dark Angels fleet, with top-notch speed and maneuverability, passing the Anthem of Courage from the right.

This firm-class ship broke away from the fleet, arrived at the designated location to open the vortex entrance, and also sailed into the fault space to start the leap voyage.

"..."

Seeing the entrance of the vortex dissipate, Sui Bian frowned slightly, showing a worried expression.

Because of his third and ninth sons, the Corinth galaxy they are going to is full of unknowns, and the oldest and strongest emotion of human beings is the fear of the unknown.

Even though the current Sui Bian is not afraid, but as a father, he is worried about his son, which cannot be erased.

However, Leon is the master of swordsmanship among the many sons, and Magnus is also the psychic who is second only to him. Together, these two should be able to unlock all unknowns and ensure their own safety.

There was a moment of silence.

Sui Bian left the porthole and returned to the center console, preparing to hold a meeting with UEG and UNSC officials and generals to discuss the next series of logistical matters.

———————

…

eighteen hours later.

The firm-class frigate named "Teutonic Knight" sailed quickly in the blue fault tunnel.

Not long after.

The Teutonic Knight sailed out of the end of the tunnel, carrying Leon, Magnus and others back to the conventional universe, and arrived at the destination of this voyage——

Corinthian galaxy.

If you observe the galaxy from a "overlook" perspective, it is not difficult to find that the Teutonic Knight is located at the very edge of the galaxy.

In the center of the galaxy is a red dwarf star whose volume and luminosity are smaller than the sun, and three planets revolve around it.

The first and second orbits are dwarf planets, and the third orbit is an ice giant planet similar to Neptune.

Among them, the diameter of the dwarf planet in the first orbit is only 1200 kilometers, the atmosphere is extremely thin, and the surface is a gray desert.

On the contrary, the diameter of the second orbit is 3,400 kilometers, which is between the dwarf planet and the terrestrial planet, and it is completely different from the dwarf planet in the first orbit.

The atmosphere is thick, and there are oceans and land on the surface, which is not what a dwarf planet should look like at all.

It's just that its atmosphere is quite turbid, which may be due to the insufficient illumination of the red dwarf star, which makes the whole dwarf planet seem to be covered with a gray dirty cloth, giving it a "sick" sense of sight.

at the same time.

In the low-earth orbit and gravitational range of this dwarf planet, there are a large number of wrecks of warships and ships of the Covenant Empire technology.

Even now, plasma cannons flicker from time to time among the wreckage, indicating that the civil war taking place here is still ongoing.

And at this moment.

Using the speed of conventional navigation, the Teutonic Knight happened to pass by the sapphire-like ice giant planet.

Inside the bridge.

A bald male captain whose appearance was about thirty years old and whose left forearm was replaced by a prosthesis gave the order:

"The whole ship is on alert, and a comprehensive scan of the dwarf planets in the second orbit is conducted to lock the remaining battleships of the Covenant, and then analyze which ones belong to Sangheili and which ones still belong to the Covenant Empire."

"Yes, Captain." The crew members who received the order responded.

Due to the latest communication repeater, the Teutonic Knight can still communicate with the outside world during the jump voyage in the fault space.

One of the most important pieces of information is that three hours ago, the City of Fraternity successfully arrived within the gravitational range of Harvest Star.

The Dark Angel Fleet staying on Harvest Star and the UNSC 045th Fleet dispatched a large number of combat troops to land in the City of Fraternity to assist Corax and Nova and completely eliminate the covenant forces of the Brute Beast faction.

In view of the shadow and ghost agents led by Corax and Nova, who appeared "in time" and saved the lives of most of the tribe, the elite tribe has a high respect for humans.

During the battle, some elites even regarded the shadows who had saved their lives and cooperated with them as close friends.

Coupled with the guidance of Moore who knows the truth as a "bridge", and the support of general-level elites such as Vadami and Artes, the elites and humans have formally reached a preliminary cooperation.

After all, the two sides have the same goal, which is to disintegrate the covenant empire that is in full swing.

The elites are for revenge and the continuation of the race, while the human beings are for stability and to avoid the harassment of the territory by fanatical religious elements.

Of course, the information unknown to everyone on the Teutonic Knights is that Sui Bian released psychic energy to completely cover the city of fraternity, and used psychic hints to speed up the conclusion of the cooperation.

That's why the bald captain ordered his crew to distinguish which ones were elites and which ones were the ships commanded by the ghost-faced beast.

"Don't bother, Captain."

At this moment, Magnus, who was standing beside the center console, moved his gaze away from the holographic map of the Corinth galaxy, turned his head slightly, and said to the bald captain:

"Let's jump and sail directly, and take us to the dwarf planet's gravitational range in the second orbit."

"this…"

The bald captain didn't agree immediately, but looked at Leon who was standing opposite Magnus, as if asking for Leon's approval.

"..."

Leon nodded lightly, signaling the bald captain to follow his brother's wishes.

After getting the approval, the bald captain gave an order to a crew member on the left side of the bridge: "Set the coordinates and prepare to sail."

"Yes! The coordinates are confirmed, all the instructions are green, and all personnel have been notified to prepare...

three,

two,

one!

Make the leap! "

Phew~——!

As the crew finished the three-second countdown, everyone present felt an obvious "sense of pushing back", and the scene outside the porthole was also "crushed".

The "feeling of pushing back" lasted only a few seconds.

But the "crushed" scene will last until the end of the leaping voyage.

See here.

Magnus, who had a touch of ancient Egyptian style in his power armor, turned away from the main console and walked to the porthole at the end of the bridge.

Leon, whose power armor leans towards medieval knights, also came to the porthole, stood on the left hand side of his brother, and looked out the window silently.

"Leon..." Magnus frowned slightly and said:

"Even in the outskirts of the galaxy, I can perceive the abnormality of that planet, which always gives me a strong sense of nothingness... no, no, there is also endless hunger, and an indescribable weirdness..."

"The Zerg that father said?" Leon said.

"I don't know." Magnus shook his head lightly.

"I'm here to find out, don't worry about it." Leon persuaded with his usual expression.

"Ok."

In less than three minutes.

An obvious sense of "frustration" hit, and the Teutonic Knight ended the state of jumping and sailing, allowing the "crushed" scene to return to normal.

The dwarf planet, which was originally invisible to the naked eye and could only be viewed on the center console, is also "close at hand" at this moment, appearing in the center of the porthole's field of vision.

Observing from this position, the two Primarchs can clearly see the surface environment of the dwarf planet.

The ocean is muddy.

The land is bare and desolate.

Immediately afterwards, Magnus spread his hands, his eyes were filled with light red light, and he released a psychic pulse that only Leon could detect, quickly swept across the dwarf planet's gravitational range, near-Earth orbit, the surface and even... …

the center of the earth.

!

After only two minutes, Magnus took the initiative to end such a large-scale release of psionic energy.

"Hoo...hoo..."

With cold sweat oozing from his forehead, he took a deep breath to relieve the slight headache and the exhaustion of his body.

Sensing his brother's fatigue, Leon silently raised his right hand, placed it on Magnus' left shoulder armor, and then released his unique spiritual power to assist his brother.

"Thanks, Leon." Magnus thanked with a chuckle, and then said with emotion:

"Sure enough, only father can easily release the psychic energy that can cover the planet level."

"Father is something we can't overcome. What we need to do is very simple, just work hard to improve ourselves." Leon echoed indifferently, and asked: "What's the result?"

"It's ready."

After recovering, Magnus walked back to the center console, called up the Teutonic Knight's scan of the dwarf planet's surroundings, and used red and green markers to mark the ships that were still engaged in firefights.

With the convenience provided by the markings, the Teutonic Knight can easily distinguish which ones are elites and which ones are ghost-faced beasts, so it actively joins the melee and assists the human allies with lightning speed.
