December 1, 2026.
Location: Hafa City, the top floor conference hall of the Umbrella Hotel.
Local clock: 11:20.
Inside the conference hall.
The decoration and layout here are similar to the top-floor conference halls of other big city branches, but the space is more spacious and more luxurious.
The seats in the auditorium are not ordinary folding chairs, but comfortable single-seat sofas.
Hafa is the headquarters city of Umbrella after all, so it must be decent in face.
At this time, sitting on the sofa were reporters of different skin colors and races.
Of course, the race here is still limited to humans, there are no elites, Guru, or Jackals.
On the edge of the conference hall, there are still a large number of photographers who are following the reporters and adjusting the equipment.
"Hey, buddy, what do you think Umbrella is going to announce this time?"
"I don't know, but I think it should be related to the war in the past few months."
"Booming? The ‘purple mushroom’ in the Earth’s low-Earth orbit is strong enough."
"Hey, regardless of the news, I only hope that we humans can win."
"Man, you have to have faith in us humans, OK?"
Since the press conference has not yet started, many reporters who have known each other are chatting in private, and are still speculating about what Umbrella will announce.
The current ordinary society does not yet know that human beings have won a decisive victory in the battle with the Star Alliance.
A few reporters looked sad, as if they were worried that mankind would lose to the Star Alliance.
But most people are full of confidence and firmly believe that Umbrella and UNSC's troops can win. After all, Sparta, Astarte and Divine Body are not vegetarian.
"Click~——."
At this moment, the front door of the conference hall opened.
I saw Andre, dressed in a black general uniform and holding a paper speech, walked slowly into the conference hall.
Seeing Andre, one of Umbrella's top generals, entered the arena, the reporters all ended their private conversations and were ready on the sofa to listen carefully to the information to be announced next.
Andre walked slowly to the podium, and when he came to the podium, he put the paper speech on the podium and adjusted the desktop microphone.
"Cough cough." After clearing his throat, Andre looked around at everyone present, and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, what Umbrella and UNSC will announce at this press conference will be a detailed briefing and results of the battle of the Human and Covenant.
On September 21 of this year, the defensive battleship Observer stationed in the Epson Indian Galaxy, aboard the Fortune Star, exchanged fire with the alien forces calling themselves the "Covenant Alliance".
In the end, the entire fleet and combat personnel of the Observer defeated the three cruisers of the Covenant Alliance, or the Star Alliance for short, relying on only one Paris-class tonnage frigate.
Captured an enemy cruiser, more than forty Sangheli races, and the artificial intelligence of a biological machine.
Since then, a large-scale interstellar battle has erupted between humans and the Star Covenant in the galaxy. The area of engagement is located on the cantilevered border of our Orion constellation.
According to the latest statistics on November 15th, the number of our asteroids and terrestrial planet colonies fell was 34, and the number that suffered severely was 14.
The number of human beings who were sacrificed was about 20 million, and the number of severely injured, disabled and unable to take care of themselves was 2.2 million. "
"..."
Hearing the number of casualties reported by Andre, everyone present fell silent, and their faces were sad.
There were more than tens of millions of casualties.
Since 2006, mankind has always encountered various natural and man-made disasters, and the number of casualties has far exceeded the sum of the first and second world wars.
"But..." Andre's words turned around:
"According to our Umbrella artificial intelligence statistics, the number of casualties in the Star Alliance is about one to 1.3 billion.
On September 27 alone, during the EL-3 battle in the Epson Indian Galaxy, the Star Covenant lost thousands of warships at one time, with more than tens of millions of casualties.
The following October 21st, Umbrella's Zero Fleet made a raid to the capital of the Covenant, where the City of Fraternity is located in the marginal galaxy.
In the raid campaign, the Star Alliance’s invincible fleet was unilaterally ravaged by the Zero Fleet, and nearly 3,000 warships were lost.
In addition, the capital of the Star Alliance, the City of Fraternity, also fell under the offensive of the Zero Fleet's ground forces.
Counting the large and small battles in the cantilevered frontier of Orion, the Star League can only win by relying on the number of defensive forces in the face of our human beings.
But I also said before that the city of Fraternity, the capital of the Star Alliance, has fallen, so this war between humans and the Star Alliance ends with our human beings winning absolute victory. "
"What?! You won so soon?!"
"My God, I thought it would take at least a few years to win..."
After hearing Andre’s report, the reporters at the scene swept away the previous ‘ghost’, regardless of the amazement of the venue’s discipline.
As the general, Andre, when he heard some turmoil in the audience, frowned and reminded: "Please keep quiet."
Slowly.
After the venue returned to calm, a female reporter raised her left hand, as if she had a question to ask.
Upon seeing this, Andre stretched out his left hand to the female reporter, and said quietly:
"Do you have any questions?"
The female reporter who was given the right to speak stood up, turned on the microphone clipped to the collar, and asked Andrei:
"Hello General, I am a reporter from FOX in the United States. One thing I have always wondered is, what is the purple mushroom that is in the far earth orbit?
According to some information you have released so far, the purple mushroom-shaped behemoth should be the painting and technology belonging to the Star Alliance side. "
"Purple mushroom..." Upon hearing the question, Andre first repeated a sentence softly, and then said with a kind smile:
"The purple mushroom is the capital of the Star Alliance I mentioned earlier, the'City of Fraternity'.
The City of Fraternity is the largest man-made celestial body under the Star Alliance, which can accommodate hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of people. This is a free'satellite colony' trophy.
It can also be seen as a souvenir we brought back to prove that we humans have won this multi-ethnic interstellar war. "
"So it's like this..." The female reporter suddenly realized and thanked Andre:
"Thank you General for helping us~lightnovelpub.net~ Yes, do you have any other questions?" Andre continued to ask, looking around.
"General." At this moment, a middle-aged male reporter raised his hand to ask a question.
"Please speak." Andre motioned to the other party to ask questions.
The middle-aged male reporter stood up and asked Andre: "General.
Recently, all kinds of social media, apps, and posts on the Internet have seen a lot of photos and videos flowing in. Most of them are Sanheli people fighting side by side with us.
So General, can you please explain this situation for us? "
"Hehe, of course." Andre responded with a smile, and put his hand to the door on his right side, saying:
"Then let the temporary leader of the Sanheli tribe, General Enzo Saom, answer your questions."
