Chapter 287 Meeting

  The holy city of the Star Alliance, the city of fraternity.

  In the large conference hall, it is noisy and boiling at the moment.

   "This is nothing short of shame and blasphemy!"

   Looking at the completely destroyed wreckage on the screen in front of him, the Prophet of Truth clenched his fist angrily and smashed the armrest of the chair.

   "Not only the sacred ring was destroyed, but even the special justice fleet was wiped out! This is an unprecedented shame!"

   "We must respond! Human beings cannot be allowed to go on like this!"

  The Sorrowful Prophet on the side also spoke.

   "However, we do not yet know the strength and intelligence of the enemy."

  The Prophet of Mercy on the other side shook his head.

"If the report is correct, the other side only has a dozen warships, but they have wiped out the entire Special Justice Fleet, and even destroyed the Holy Relic Ring. Their power cannot be underestimated. We must investigate clearly where this fleet came from and where it belongs. "

   "No matter who the other party is, they can't stop our pilgrimage."

  The Prophet of Truth was silent for a moment before speaking.

"The pilgrimage is about to begin, and this failure only strengthens our resolve. In fact, it also tells us that dangers and obstacles are everywhere on the road to the Holy Path, but this is not where we stop. The reason for the steps."

   Speaking of this, the Prophet of Truth looked at the others, and the noisy races in the conference hall fell silent at this moment.

   Immediately afterwards, the voice of the prophet of truth sounded again.

  "The great pilgrimage is about to start, and it will fail in the end if it is blocked by our obstacles. The Star Alliance will pass through these obstacles and reach the end of our holy journey!"

   "Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!"

   At this moment, cheers resounded throughout the conference hall.

  Although the Prophet of Truth temporarily stabilized the unstable hearts of the Star Alliance through his speech, the situation remained unchanged.

   "So, we're going to turn a blind eye to that fleet?"

  After the meeting ended, the Prophet of Mercy found the Prophet of Truth with a solemn expression, and asked.

   "For now, just a dozen warships will not pose too much threat to the Star Alliance. As I said just now..."

   Speaking of this, the Prophet of Truth looked solemn.

  “The pilgrimage is what we should care about.”

   Meanwhile, in the UNSC headquarters, the atmosphere was equally tense.

   "I never thought that there would be such a fleet."

   Admiral Terrence Hood looked at the report in front of him, and he was also deeply moved. This is an old man who is nearly sixty years old. His beard and hair are all white, but his face still reveals a rock-like determination—as the supreme commander of the UNSC, he is indeed worthy of this title.

   "Are we really going to entertain them here, sir?"

  Another officer standing in front of Terrence Hood spoke with some anxiety.

   "Of course, no matter what the origin of the opponent is, they defeated the Star Alliance fleet, and also helped us protect the far star. At least for now, they are not our enemy, nor the enemy of mankind."

   "But don't you think their goal is a little too unusual?"

   What the officer was referring to was the report submitted by Colonel Holland, which contained a description of what Duan Muhuai told him about the goal of the Inquisition—to eliminate all existences that threatened humanity. Frankly speaking, this goal is considered too far away by some senior UNSC officials. Although this fleet is indeed powerful, the Star Alliance is not just a planet—it is, as the name suggests, a powerful cosmic empire formed by the alliance of several interstellar races. And these interstellar races live on hundreds of thousands of planets, and it is impossible for most people to destroy them all.

  Even the UNSC themselves never thought of completely destroying the Covenant. Their goal is to defeat the Covenant's attack, and then sign a peace agreement with the other party after they have taken the initiative in the battle. After all, war is about killing people, and it is obviously not a commendable choice for humans and the Star Alliance to fight for their lives.

  Of course, there is also a group of extremists within the UNSC, who have always believed that the UNSC should use this to completely eliminate the Star Alliance. However, these extreme radicals did not enjoy the support of the majority. The reason is simple. In order to fight against the Star Alliance, the UNSC will completely take over the ruling power and implement military government rule. This is naturally necessary in order to ensure the survival of humanity itself in the face of the threat of the Covenant.

   However, once the Covenant is repelled, it is difficult to say whether it is necessary to continue to sacrifice and fight for it. Moreover, if the high-pressure situation is maintained for a long time, it is easy to cause internal shocks. What's more, strictly speaking, the complete elimination of the Star Alliance is of no benefit to the current human beings.

  Because of this, most high-ranking military officers are worried that contact with the Tribunal may make those extreme radicals more fanatical and drag humans into a protracted war. Therefore, many of them proposed to temporarily adopt a certain degree of long-distance contact measures with the Tribunal, but they did not expect that Commander Hood would directly invite the other party to go to Earth...

   "They are the benefactors of Zhiyuan Star, so we naturally have to treat each other with courtesy, and, no matter what, we can only understand their intentions if we communicate first."

  Commander Hood shook his head, and at this moment, a voice sounded.

   "Report to the commander, the representative of the trial court has arrived."

   "I'll be right there."

  Hearing this, Commander Hood stood up, tidied up, and then strode out of the room.

  The gate slowly opened.

Duanmuhuai strode out of the gate and stepped onto the passage in front of him. On both sides of the passage, soldiers in UNSC uniforms could be seen standing there. At this moment, they looked at the dark, huge figure in front of them, panicked, and hurriedly backed away. open.

  Following behind Duanmuhuai were Augis, Ann, Audrey, and Lorena. This time, Duanmuhuai brought only four of them to meet UNSC executives. Ojis is Duanmuhuai's most familiar partner, so naturally he takes her with him everywhere. And Ann is the princess of Manalia. Although she usually has a distasteful personality and likes waves, as a princess, she at least knows how to maintain etiquette and propriety in such an occasion.

  Audrey, as Duanmuhuai's maid, followed the three of them. Of course, as a former noble lady, Audrey was no stranger to such occasions.

  As for Lorena, she was traveling as a representative of the Holy Church. For this meeting, she also specially changed into her missionary priest's dress.

   I have to say that these four beautiful girls and Duanmuhuai really attracted everyone's attention. On the one hand, whether it is Duanmu Huai or the girls, they are impressive enough in terms of appearance. On the other hand, their dress and temperament are different, which is more eye-catching.

  Walking in the front, Duan Muhuai was wearing the armor of the Inquisition Chamber. With his height and menacing face, he could be seen as a ruthless character.

  But on the other hand, Augis, who was walking behind him, was wearing a black Gothic dress, dressed like a noble lady. An, on the other hand, rarely wore a sleeveless long dress, and she put away her usual romantic personality, giving the first impression of a princess.

  Audrey and Lorena are even more distinctive. One is wearing a maid's outfit and the other is wearing a clergyman's outfit. Even if you don't know it, you can guess their occupations just by looking at their clothes.

   It's just... somewhat anachronistic.

   "Mr. Knight is so scary no matter where he goes."

  An apparently maintained a calm princess mode, but in private, she also silently complained to Augis next to her, who just nodded slightly.

   "The owner's appearance seems very threatening to the creature."

   "Shut up, both of you."

  Hearing the whispers coming from behind, Duanmuhuai rolled his eyes helplessly, Nima is now backstabbing with a joint attack? Or combos?

  Do you want to live?

   Soon, a group of people came to the auditorium of the Cairo space station located in the extraterrestrial orbit. Here, Duanmu Huai also met the UNSC Supreme Commander Hood. As a soldier who has experienced many battles, Commander Hood was not so frightened when he saw Duanmu Huai. go.

"Hi, Your Excellency the Inquisitor, I am Colonel Terrence Hood, the Supreme Commander of the UNSC, and welcome to the Cairo space station. Here, on behalf of the UNSC, I would like to present to the Inquisitors to defeat the Covenant fleet and protect the Reach Star Station." Thank you very much for everything you do.”

"You are Welcome."

  Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand and shook hands with Commander Hood.

   "As a judge, it is my duty to protect human beings and eliminate threats. For the trial court, any enemy that threatens human beings can only be destroyed."

   "I can understand your thoughts."

   Facing Duanmuhuai's words, Commander Hood just smiled and didn't say much, and then he made a gesture.

   "Please go this way, I think we need more communication and understanding."

"I think so too."

  Looking at Commander Hood, Duanmuhuai nodded.

   In fact, that's what they came here for.

  After this, Duanmu Huai held a closed-door meeting with Commander Hood.

  He did not hide any information. In the face of Commander Hood, Duanmuhuai told the past and present of the Inquisition very frankly, the origin of human beings, the current threats facing the universe, and their goals. After all, for Duanmuhuai, there is nothing to hide, and he is too lazy to be a riddle. Nine out of ten mentally retarded people who do this are treacherous believers, so he doesn't have this leisure time.

   Explain everything that can be said clearly, and what the other party plans to do with the rest depends on their own ideas.

   After all, the UNSC can be regarded as a civilization that has set foot on the universe. Telling them some information and helping them prepare is not a problem, is it?

  But for Commander Hood, what Duan Muhuai said was a completely different matter.

   It can even be said that it completely destroyed his three views, so that after Duanmuhuai finished his narration, almost all the UNSC personnel sat there dumbfounded, and did not recover for a long time.

   I don't know how long it took before Commander Hood came back to his senses and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

   "To be honest, what you said... I can't believe it... So, everyone, come here..."

   "I hope you don't misunderstand."

   Duanmuhuai shook his head.

"As I said, the human empire that once ruled the Milky Way has long been destroyed. I am not here to ask you to recognize your ancestors, but to inform you of the predecessors and conditions of the Inquisition. In fact, human beings like you who are living outside There are still many civilizations in the Milky Way, and many of them have experienced the same development process as yours. The Tribunal has no intention of bringing together the human empire again, but no matter whether the empire exists or not, what the Tribunal does will not change in any way .We will never let go of any existence that tries to threaten human beings, and will completely wipe them out... I think, now you understand what I mean?"

   "...Yes, I see."

   This time, in the face of Duanmu Huai's words, Commander Hood looked serious. Although everything the other party said was incredible, but thinking about it carefully, the other party had no reason to deceive himself about this kind of thing. And just as Duanmuhuai said, when he mentioned this period of history, he didn't want to order himself or anything because of it, he just told them the origin of the Tribunal.

   It is conceivable that if what the judge said is true, then the trial court is indeed a powerful organization.

   Perhaps, they can really wipe out the Covenant?
