Chapter 288: Surprise attack

  Chapter 288 Sudden Attack

  For Duanmuhuai, he doesn't think it's meaningful to conceal the past history.

  The human empire is finished, but their descendants are still there. As for what path they want to take, it is their own business. Therefore, whether it is the Guardian Civilization or the UNSC, Duanmu Huai does not intend to intervene in their internal governance issues.

  But for Commander Hood, all this is of great significance.

   "Thank you for your frank information, Your Excellency Judge."

  Holding Duanmu Huai's hand, Commander Hood sighed.

   "We humans have been thinking about a question, where did we come from, and where should we go? Now it seems that we have at least one direction and one answer."

   "What you want to do is your own choice."

   Duanmuhuai nodded slightly.

"In any case, the responsibilities of the Tribunal will remain the same as before, and there will be no change. We protect human beings and long for the continuation of human civilization, but no one knows what direction human civilization will eventually go... This is what you need to do gone."

"I see."

  Commander Hood smiled slightly.

   "At least, in my lifetime, I can sleep well."

  After a short conversation, the two sides came to the auditorium again, and here, Commander Hood will announce the news about the Inquisition to the UNSC, and award medals to individuals who have made outstanding contributions in the Battle of Reach.

   In fact, when the two entered the arena, there was already a team of fighters standing in front of the stage, waiting to be awarded the honor.

   “The Colonial Cross is awarded only to servicemen who have fought for valor and distinguished service.”

   When he came to the soldiers, Commander Hood took the medal from the side and pinned it to their chests.

"Noble team, you are the role models of the UNSC Spartan troops. You discovered the invasion of the Covenant in time, issued the winter emergency order, and perfectly completed the tasks you need to complete. Here, on behalf of the UNSC, I would like to extend my sincere respect to You are honored."

   After awarding honors to all the soldiers, Commander Hood came to Duanmuhuai again.

"Here, we would also like to thank one person, this is His Excellency the Judge from the Judgment Chamber - he led his fleet to defeat the Star Alliance fleet that invaded the Reach Star in time, guarded our planet, and protected The safety of our people. Here, too, I express my sincere gratitude to the Inquisition..."

   "Titer titer titer——!"

  However, Commander Hood's voice hadn't finished yet, when suddenly, a rush of sirens sounded. Hearing the siren, Commander Hood frowned slightly.

"What happened?"

   "The Star Alliance army was detected, not far away, and a different-dimensional passage was found! Fifteen Star Alliance capital ships have been positioned outside our range."

   Soon, along with the answer, a holographic projection appeared in front of everyone's eyes. On the screen, the Covenant warships outside the defensive circle were lining up. At the same time, news came from the Guardian Fleet.

  "Admiral Harper called Admiral Hood to ask permission to engage the enemy."

"really weird………"

   Staring at the map in front of him, Commander Hood looked puzzled.

   "The fleet that attacked Reach Star last time was fifty times larger than this time, but this time, they actually attacked with only this few warships?"

  Thinking of this, Commander Hood thought for a moment, and then gave an answer.

   "I disagree, please build a defense line around the perimeter."

   "Do you think the Star Alliance is cheating?"

   Duan Muhuai asked, and Commander Hood nodded.

   "We don't know how the Covenant knows about this place, but..."

   "It's not important, as long as the aliens are eliminated."

  Duanmu Huai interrupted Commander Hood's speech.

   "The Inquisition will take care of that."

   After saying this, Duanmuhuai directly connected to the communication.

   "Mia, send us back to the flagship, ready to attack and destroy the aliens!"

   As soon as the words fell, everyone saw a white light flashing around Duanmu Huai and the others, and the next moment, they disappeared without a trace.

  Seeing this scene, the UNSC officers and soldiers present were taken aback, while Commander Hood was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.

   "Looks like it's their performance time."

but………

  Commander Hood looked at the map in front of him, still full of doubts in his heart.

   What the **** is the Star Alliance doing?

   It's no wonder that Commander Hood is so vigilant, you know, this is the mother planet and home of mankind. If the Star Alliance really finds out that this is the home planet of human beings, according to Commander Hood's thinking, they will definitely attack on a large scale, at least it is impossible for hundreds of warships to come.

  But... the Star Alliance brought a few warships this time and came here to provoke trouble. What does this mean?

   This is like a decisive battle. Logically speaking, both sides should gather all the troops and then fight to the death. As a result, the best of their own side is exhausted, and a reconnaissance team is formed on the opposite side——Could it be that the Star Alliance also knows how to play empty cities?

   It is also because of this that Commander Hood did not immediately let the Guardian Fleet attack. He was afraid that this was some kind of trap set by the Star Alliance and wanted to lure the Guardian Fleet away from the home planet.

   But the Inquisition's fleet... well, shouldn't worry about that.

  Although Commander Hood suspects that this is some kind of strategy of the Covenant Alliance, in fact, the Covenant Fleet is also in a daze at the moment.

   "Is this planet actually occupied by humans?"

  Looking at the army in front of him and the tight protective net, the Prophet of Sorrow on the flagship was also quite surprised.

  In fact, the reason why this Star Alliance fleet came here was not for a decisive battle as Commander Hood thought, on the contrary, they were just looking for something!

This also starts with the Prophet of Sorrow. As one of the supreme rulers of the Star Alliance, the Prophet of Sorrow got a clue not long ago, that is, about the halo and the place where the halo was created - the Ark. At the same time, it also got According to the information left by the forerunner, as long as this device is activated, the portal to the Ark can be opened, and as long as you go to the Ark, the Star Alliance can activate the halo and start a pilgrimage.

Also according to this information record, the device that opened the portal was located on a planet called Ed Trini, so in order to grab credit, the Prophet of Sorrow did not notify the other two, but led his own sacred dedication fleet to go alone On that planet, he tried to open the device with his own power, activate the portal, and arrive at the ark to start a pilgrimage.

  However, it is a coincidence that this Ed-Trine planet is the parent star of the UNSC...

  Good guy, this time I have to fight if I don’t fight.

   "Attack! Take this planet! We must find the relic of the Great Herald!"

  If there is a choice, the Prophet of Sorrow is not willing to attack a planet that is occupied by humans and is well-prepared under such circumstances. In the end, however, greed got the upper hand at the thought that the great relic leading to the Ark was on this planet. Therefore, the Prophet of Sorrow gritted his teeth and immediately issued an order.

   "—————!!"

However, just as its voice fell, as if it was responding to the order of the Prophet of Sorrow, one after another flashing flames suddenly appeared. In the blink of an eye, the Prophet of Sorrow saw several Covenant warships explode directly next to it, turning into dust.

   "What's going on? What happened?!"

   This scene also frightened the Prophet of Sorrow. Could it be that he was ambushed by humans?

   "We're under attack! It's the Reach branch——!!"

   But, that's the end of it.

A torrent of green plasma burst out and hit the flagship where the Prophet of Sorrow was located. The Covenant's shield only lasted for a second before it completely collapsed. The high-temperature energy beam melted the armor, pierced through the ship, and then came roaring The huge macro cannon shells smashed the Covenant battleship in front of you like a shot put on porcelain. With the explosion and flames, the next moment, the Prophet of Sorrow and its battleship turned into a shining star in the starry sky. dust.

   "...The Covenant fleet has been wiped out, without any abnormal reaction."

   "...What is this fleet here for??"

Looking at the Star Alliance fleet that had been completely wiped out on the screen, Commander Hood was at a loss. He thought it was a Star Alliance conspiracy, but until the entire fleet was wiped out by the Tribunal, the Star Alliance did not respond—could they Did you send a fleet to die on purpose?

but………

   "The power of the Tribunal is really terrifying..."

  Recalling the scene I saw just now, Commander Hood was also quite emotional. He only saw that huge Judgment Court fleet suddenly disappeared like a ghost, and then appeared on the side of the Star Alliance fleet, and then directly pierced the entire Star Alliance fleet with a single salvo... like this The firepower is unimaginable on the UNSC side.

  If it were the UNSC fleet, it would be absolutely impossible to completely wipe out a Star Alliance fleet in such a short period of time. Even if the number is twice that of the opponent, it is impossible.

   Just when Commander Hood was full of emotions, another report came soon.

   "Communication request from the Inquisition."

   "Take it."

   Following Commander Hood's order, Duanmu Huai's face soon appeared on the screen.

   "It's over, Commander Hood."

   "I saw it, Your Excellency the Chief Judge, the power of the Tribunal is really powerful..."

   Originally, Commander Hood planned to flatter him, but Duan Muhuai interrupted him directly.

   "But it's not over yet."

"………Why?"

"It's not rude to come and go, since the other party is stupid enough to dare to come here to provoke us, then we naturally have to respond... Next, we will go to the territory of the Star Alliance and destroy its galaxy in response... Hood If the commander is interested, would you like to come together?"

"Well………"

  Faced with Duanmuhuai's unreasonable invitation, Commander Hood was stunned.
