Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

Earth time: September 17, 2112.

Pacific O'clock: 04:12.

Within the gravitational range of the prehistoric planet facing the star, at least 4,000 vortex exits of different sizes and emitting faint blue light emerged, for the Ultimate Legion and the 3rd, 5th, 8th and other thirty-six fleets of UNSC to end Transition sailing state.

Among them, the Olympus-class flagship with a length of nearly 20 kilometers and firepower is one of the peak battleships of mankind, as well as the flagship of the Extreme Legion, the Guardian of Dawn is particularly conspicuous.

But this pinnacle can only be the pinnacle at this stage. When the construction of the ten legions and Sui Bian's exclusive home world is completed and officially put into use, the position of the pinnacle flagship will easily change hands.

However, even with hundreds of millions of sentinel engineering machines assisting in the construction, the construction period of each homeworld is 20 to 25 years, so the Olympus class still needs to maintain the "warship overlord" for a period of time.

In addition to the Dawn Guardian, there are also twelve Olympus-class ships with a length of about 12 kilometers, and more than two hundred Zeus-class ships with a length of 5 kilometers. It can be described as an extremely large-scale expedition fleet.

This is only half of Robert's mobilization of the military power in the extreme star area.

The Dark Angel Legion, which had already arrived on the prehistoric planet, was also incorporated into the expedition fleet, and then parked together in low-earth orbit for standby.

At the same time, the fleet released a large number of transport boats and transport planes to go back and forth between the surface and obtain living supplies from the space gate base. After all, the fleet has already sailed for six days.

The surface at this moment.

The main airport of the space gate base, on the second floor, at the exit of the corridor bridge numbered 01, there are only Rogge and Leon wearing the power armor of the original body, and there are no entourage generals, officials, or honor guards around.

"Leon, my father said that your face is really stinky. He told you to change it, but you didn't change it. It was an exciting moment for brothers to get together. When I saw you..."

"Enough, shut your mouth."

Leon, who frowned, interrupted Rogge's constant rambling, then raised his left hand, stretched out his index finger and thumb to knead his temple, trying to relieve his headache, and squinted at his brother, unable to complain:

"I laugh, can't I laugh?"

As he said that, Leon put down his hand impatiently again, showing an awkward expression that kept the word "Chuan" between his brows and mechanically raised the corner of his mouth, half a smile, half a smile, half sad.

At this moment, the gate suddenly opened, allowing Robert, who was wearing blue and gold color power armor and a red cloak behind him, to walk out of the corridor bridge, and directly bumped into Leon's strange expression.

Leon: "..."

Roger: "..."

Robert: "..."

In an instant, the scene fell into deathly silence, the three brothers looked at each other, and the atmosphere was indescribable.

"Hahahaha! Damn it!"

Rogge reacted first, couldn't help laughing loudly, raised his hand and slapped Leon's shoulder armor, and the force was not well controlled, causing the whole area to vibrate slightly with the slap.

"..." Leon quickly returned to his indifferent face, and kept silent about what happened just now.

"Leon..." As the eldest brother, Robert suppressed his smile, walked forward, raised his hand and patted Leon's shoulder armor on the other side, and said "sincerely":

"I understand, you definitely can't stand Rogge's mouth, but you really need to practice smiling more, don't...cough cough, don't always look paralyzed."

"Yes! That's right, hahaha!" Rogge stretched out his arms to embrace Leon and Robert, and let the three brothers embrace each other. The conversation changed: "We are finally reunited."

It was said that Leon and Robert also cooperated with Rogge.

After a few seconds of silence, the three of them put down their hands, and Rogge turned away from the entrance and exit of the covered bridge, and greeted the two brothers: "Come with me, I have found a batch of good wine, let's drink and talk."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Robert replied with a smile.

"..." Leon also nodded in agreement.

Taking advantage of the fact that all the personnel gathered on the prehistoric planet, the three of them took advantage of the gap before the fleet completed its supplies, and prepared to have a good chat, not only about the upcoming expedition, but also about the interesting and troublesome things that have happened over the years.

Leon and Rogge are fine, because the Dark Angels temporarily stay in the solar system, they often see each other, but Robert hasn't seen them, or even all the brothers, for forty years.

So the three brothers came to a large lounge on the second floor of the airport, stood in front of the temporary bar, and Rogge served as the bartender to pour drinks for Leon and Robert.

Let's talk for a while.

Robert drank the tequila in the large wine glass, and said in a deep voice: "Father ordered me to be the commander in charge of this expedition. If the battle goes against us, Sanguinius and Corax will also come to our aid. See Come on, my father really sees those green-skinned orcs as a threat."

"..." Leon nodded without answering.

"Didn't Nova say that..." Rogge put Robert on the full wine glass on the bar table, glanced left and right at the two brothers and said, "The number of them may exceed a trillion, or it may be more, so father also put four The stellar bomb is sent to this side through the space gate."

"Four..." Robert mused.

He didn't know how much the company had in stock, but he sent four stellar bombs derived from artificial star technology, which was enough to witness the importance Sui Bian attached to the green skins.

And Rogge didn't wait for Robert to speak, and continued: "I will arrange a transport team to send four star bombs to the Dawn Guardian. By the way, the company has sent a batch of new star bombs. Are you two interested?" ?”

"..." Leon shook his head.

"What you said is like selling nuclear bombs as vegetables." Robert also shook his head.

Roger chuckled, and wanted to say "Isn't it?", but Robert drained the tequila in the wine glass and said: "Let's drink here for today's wine, it's time to discuss the expedition. "

As he said that, Robert pushed the wine glass aside, and used the power armor to present a holographic star map in front of the three brothers. Before putting it away, he relaxed and said with a serious face:

"Leon, Rogge, since my father ordered me to be the commander of this expedition, I hope that our brothers can work together to win this battle."

"Don't worry." Roger replied immediately.

"En." Leon still nodded.

Although they haven't seen each other for decades, all the brothers are still very convinced of Robert, and there is no objection to his father's order.

"Okay!" Seeing that the two brothers expressed their opinions one after another, Robert set his sights on the holographic star map, and began to assign tasks:

"No matter what kind of war it is, logistical support must always come first, so Rogge, you and your Iron Fist are stationed on prehistoric planets, and I will also leave the UNSC 36th and 37th Fleets in charge of orbital defense for you. Make sure that the supply lines of the expeditionary force do not make any mistakes."

"Leave it to me." Roger readily agreed.

Although it is still "squatting" in the rear, which is not much different from defending the solar system, and it is a pity that he cannot go to the front line with the expeditionary army, but Rogge can clearly distinguish which is more important.

"Please." Robert continued to adjust the holographic star map, separated two secondary screens, zoomed in on the home galaxy of the Titans, and the residence of the Valin tribe "bordering" the Titan Empire, and continued to say the analysis:

"Leon and I will be responsible for defeating the Titanium Empire and seizing their remaining 150 or so colonies. This is one of our goals. As for the Titanium people... it doesn't seem worthwhile to capture them and use them as laborers. The efficiency should be far inferior to the sentinels of the engineering team, so no prisoners will be kept, no matter whether they are shot or killed, only by finishing the Tipu Empire first, can we spare all our energy to deal with the green-skinned orcs."

As he said that, Robert stretched out his left hand and pointed to the sub-screen showing the Tipu mother galaxy, turned his head and said to Leon: "Leon, it's up to you to destroy their homeland yourself, and announce to the Milky Way what will be the end of provoking human beings. "

"No problem." Leon replied briefly.

"What about you?" Roger wondered.

Robert did not answer in a hurry, but pointed to the second secondary screen that showed the residence of the Vaelin, and said, "I will go here personally, if you want to get more information about the green-skinned orcs, ask this group of Vaelin Should be the best choice.

After all, "they" are incompatible with the Taipu Empire, and they have recently fought against the orcs, so I need to personally confirm the attitude of "them". They" make a choice. "

"I hope this group of elves with good faces and figures can get acquainted with each other." Rogge echoed.

The branch of the Valin tribe that they have had the most contact with humans is the Mar people who have joined the human society under the leadership of Irene Mir.

And most of the Valin tribes around Orion's cantilever also showed different degrees of goodwill, and were willing to communicate and trade with humans.

After all, they share many similarities with humans, aesthetically, culturally, and anatomically.

But the reality is that if there is a friendly side, there must be neutral or even hostile guys.

Many Virin pirates who lived on plunder and followed their own desires and "hobbies" were all lunatics, and they were inextricably linked with evil gods and demons in different dimensions.

This is why Robert attaches great importance to the group of Verin people.

As the Warmaster of this expedition, he didn't want to be stabbed in the back by the group of Vailin when he faced the mysterious and weird green-skinned orcs.

Immediately afterwards, the three brothers continued to refine some division of labor and responsibilities. When there were no omissions, Robert showed a hearty smile, and shook his right hand in front of the brothers.

Seeing this, Leon and Rogge also stretched out their hands to hold each other tightly, looked at each other with a smile, and said in unison: "For the sake of father, for the sake of human beings, we will kill all the aliens!"

next.

The three brothers who had just met not long ago had to separate again at this moment.

Rogge led the elite of Glory Iron Fist to stay on the prehistoric planet as planned to ensure the smooth flow of the logistics supply line and continue to eliminate the remaining Teipu people.

On the other hand, Nova, Sarah and more than 5,000 recruits were deployed to the flagships of the Ultimate and Dark Angel Legion, the Guardian of the Dawn and the Anthem of Valor, and accompanied the main force of the fleet to start the expedition.

When the fleet has completed its daily supplies and everything is ready...

08:19 Pacific time.

Within the gravitational range of prehistoric planets, thousands of vortex entrances unfolded one by one, allowing corresponding warships to enter the fault space and rush to more than 150 colonies of the Taipu Empire.

Leon led a quarter of the Dark Angels. Including the Anthem of Valor, a total of 27 warships went straight to the core of the Titan Empire.

And Robert is also personally leading a quarter of the Extreme Legion, and immediately went to the galaxy where tens of thousands of Valin lived.

soon.

The low-Earth orbit, which seemed very "crowded", was much more empty due to the disappearance of the main force of the expeditionary fleet, and there were "only" more than 260 warships left.

…

Twelve hours later.

Titanium parent galaxy.

If you "overlook" this galaxy on a plane, the central position is a star whose volume and mass far exceed that of the sun, releasing radiation and energy into the icy universe, and at the same time emitting light blue dazzling light outward.

The first to fifth orbits are all terrestrial planets, and the four near the stars are all as bare and desolate as Mercury.

Although the fifth lesson is equally desolate, and the main color is desert yellow, there are still water sources and woodlands representing life, as well as a thick atmosphere.

This is the homeworld of the Titan Empire.

As for the gaseous planets in the sixth and seventh orbits, it is not worth mentioning.

A closer look at Titanium's parent star.

Its surface is similar to the unmodified Mars a hundred years ago, even in volume and mass, with low gravity and thin air. However, it is precisely because of such a harsh environment that Titans are keen to plunder and occupy various resources.

There are a considerable number of space stations and warships in low earth orbit, which are used to defend their parent planets.

And they are the most proud, the largest, the cosmic fortress with a length and width of "full" six kilometers, is parked above the capital of the parent star.

The various battleships that gradually gathered near the fortress showed that their territory was already "flames of war" everywhere, and the battle situation was so severe that it was necessary to use the defense force of the mother star to rush to rescue.

Swish——swish——! !

suddenly!

Twenty-seven vortex exits emerged one after another, allowing the dark angel fleet led by Leon to leave the fault space, and the Anthem of Valor actually accelerated and rushed straight to the cosmic fortress not far away.

! ! !

The sudden change made Taipu too late to react, and Cosmic Fortress hastily changed its angle, trying to avoid it.

Can…

Boom—long——!

However, as one of the pinnacles of human combat power, how could the Hymn of Courage give the fortress a chance to evade? Actively deploy the energy shield and collide violently with it.

Accompanied by the "silent" explosion and flames, the Anthem of Courage smashed into the cosmic fortress without any damage to its own hull structure.

The other Tipu battleships that reacted tried to focus their fire on the bombardment, but they were helpless in a short time with the shield of the Anthem of Valor.

now.

Inside the bridge of the Anthem of Courage.

Leon, standing behind the giant porthole, with his hands behind his back, looked down at the Tipu mother star expressionlessly, and ordered lightly:

"Notify the bombing squadron, get ready to drop the new star nuclear bomb, and then turn on the public frequency, I will personally declare the demise of their parent star to the Taipu Empire."
