Shortly after.

Within the gravitational range of the dwarf planet, among the wreckage of the warship that became space junk, the Teutonic Knight was moored, and not far from her starboard, there was also a covenant technology ship moored.

The ship is shaped like a whale, with a length of about 900 meters, and its specifications are almost the same as those of the Steadfast class. It should also be the same as the Steadfast class and belong to the ranks of frigates.

This is a frigate that was detected by Magnus with his psionic energy and commanded by an elite family.

But "her"'s situation is not optimistic.

The hull was devastated and damaged so badly that it was difficult to maintain the internal air pressure.

It can be seen that if the Teutonic Knight had not joined the melee, "she" would have already been integrated into the nearby wreckage.

But the sinking ending is still inevitable.

So four purple, sleek transport planes, carrying the last survivors, abandoned the ship and boarded the Teutonic Knights of allied relations.

Inside the hangar…

"Ow! Ow!"

"Please cooperate with the inspection, thank you for your cooperation."

"Ah!"

"For your safety, don't move."

The scene is not too chaotic.

Technicians in white attire and mechanical skeletons are patiently conducting routine inspections and disinfection procedures on Elites, Grunts, Gnolls, and a long-necked jellyfish-like engineer.

In charge of maintaining order, hundreds of Glory Guards equipped with Terminator Power Armors, Paladins of the Dark Angels and Sekhmet of Thutmose, as well as the Auxiliary Army of the Dark Angels.

Following the style of the Primarch and the entire Legion, the name is derived from the ancient Egyptian goddess of war and medicine, Sekhmet, and its Terminator Power Armor also has obvious ancient Egyptian characteristics.

In terms of weapon collocation, it is a bit monotonous compared with the Honor Guards of other legions, because the Sekhmet are more inclined to use psionic warfare.

After the technicians complete the routine procedures, they will give this group of allies different from human beings certain freedom, and turn to work on the covenant technology's transport aircraft and carrier-based aircraft.

A rough count.

Only less than 200 survived successfully, with Grunts and Gnolls accounting for the majority, the rest being more than twenty blue armored elites, and the only yellow armored elite.

Because of being "backstabbed" by ghost-faced beasts and prophets, coupled with the incident of obtaining the city of fraternity from Moore and Vadami, and now being rescued by the Teutonic Knights, this group of young elites, Human respect trumps vigilance.

Gnolls and Grunts don't have too many ideas, they just want to follow the elites they admire, as for the engineer...

I am very interested in the deck of human technology, carrier-based aircraft, transport boats, and even the Terminator of the Glory Guard, and I want to study it.

at this time.

around the crowd.

"Ok…"

Leon, with his hands folded in front of his breastplate, after listening to what Magnus had just said, he pondered and asked his brother for an affirmative answer:

"If I don't have a problem with my ears, then you just said that the interior of that dwarf planet is hollow?"

"Yes." Magnus did not deny it: "And the surface and inner world are still fighting fiercely, and the troops of the Covenant Empire are fighting with a group of..."

Speaking of this, Magnus's tone increased: "A group of creatures who cannot use psionic perception to fight, I only experience endless hunger from them.

Like life, memory? Still have a strong appetite for emotions, but to know more, we can only rush to the dwarf planet to find out. "

"Memories and emotions?" Leon frowned inadvertently and said in a deep voice, "It seems that there is indeed an unknown Zerg that my father mentioned below."

"Maybe."

"Anyway, try to get useful information from Commander Sangheili first."

"good."

As the two primarchs spoke, they passed through the crowd, approaching the elite commander in yellow armor under the utterly astonished gazes of the gnolls and grunts.

Approaching a stop, Magnus negotiated with the other party: "Hello, I am Human Primarch Magnus, and this is Primarch Leon beside me, what happened to this planet?"

"…"

Looking at the two giants over four and a half meters, especially the one with short brown-red hair (Magnus), who could speak a human language that even he could understand, the Yellow Armored Elite fell into incomparable shock. .

Fortunately, the commander's psychological acceptance ability is strong. After a while, he put his right fist on his chest, showing enough respect to introduce himself:

"It is an honor to have the assistance of two Primarchs, I am the captain of the Passionate Prayer, Walsa Vulcambe, and the supreme commander of the ship's forces.

In fact, before you humans got here..."

Next, an elite commander named Volsa shared what he had learned with Leon and Magnus.

The Red and White Queens called the galaxy they were in Corinth, but the Covenant Empire called it the "Top God's Domain".

Because the hollow dwarf planet that Magnus perceives is the celestial fortress, the shield world, built by the forerunners.

at first.

Converted to the Earth year commonly used by human beings, the Covenant Empire knew about the existence of the Corinth galaxy as early as four years ago.

But this galaxy gave the Covenant Empire a very barren, barren, and low development value.

Fortunately, the dwarf planet in the second orbit, showing a habitable surface environment, attracted the attention of the Supreme Council.

After that, the Supreme Council dispatched a large number of scientific research and engineering teams to conduct comprehensive inspections and studies.

The first abnormality is that Covenant Technology is unable to explore the geology of this dwarf planet, as if there are some kind of shielding measures, making the surface full of unknowns.

After that.

The engineering team tried to use the most primitive excavation methods and found that it was an all-metal crust that enveloped the dwarf planet.

The familiar metal structure was dug out, and the Supreme Council realized that it was a celestial body built by the forerunners.

The news was a sensation.

After all, the largest of the forerunners' "legacy" occupied by the Covenant Empire was the City of Fraternity, so the City of Fraternity was regarded as the capital.

The discovery of this shield world, which is several times larger than the City of Fraternity, made the Supreme Council intend to move the capital.

It's just that the cracking process is very slow, and it took three and a half years to get into the interior.

And once you try to use the high-energy rays of the battleship to dig violently, you will be locked by the automatic artillery on the surface of the shield world.

Even with the energy shield, the battleship could not withstand the easy blow of the artillery.

Through this, Covenant's scientific research and engineering teams understand that this shield world is still in normal operation.

In order to avoid a stronger counterattack, the Covenant Empire had to give up violence and instead rely on the crack of the engineer family.

But the progress is still slow, it can be said that it is about zero.

Until more than twenty Earth days ago.

It happened to correspond to Lara Croft's archaeological team and opened the time node of the ruins of Methryn.

The opening of the ruins of Methraine not only allowed the priests to discover the existence of human beings, but also caused the equatorial region of the shield world to take the initiative to open an entrance, which finally allowed the covenant people to set foot in the interior of the shield world.

However, Volsa does not know what the inner world looks like, because his authority is not enough to enter the shield world.

As for the turbid appearance it is now, it is inseparable from the battle between their elite clan and ghost-faced beasts.

As the Corinth galaxy in the pinnacle of God's Domain, the Covenant Empire naturally deployed thirty-two elite fleets.

However, the civil war caused by the City of Fraternity quickly spread to the entire Covenant Empire.

The ghost-faced beast fleet stationed in the Corinth galaxy, also in accordance with the secret orders of the three priests, quickly attacked the elite with an advantage of twice the number.

Although they were caught off guard, the elites who were good at guerrilla tactics and also liked to jump gangs fought back and forth with the Ghost Faced Beast fleet.

During this time.

The elite troops that remained on the surface of the shield world were slaughtered by the regular troops of the Covenant Empire led by the ghost-faced beasts with an absolute advantage.

In order to completely annihilate the elite fleet, the ghost-faced beast shouted to Volsa and the others that it would release the weapons created by "My God".

But Volsa said that after the ghost-faced beast was released, the communication of the other party fell into a panic, and the words they listened to the most were "Request support!".

Instead of providing any help, the weapons of "My God" dragged the regular troops led by the Ghost Faced Beast into another quagmire.

Even so, the Elite Fleet and the Ghost-faced Beast Fleet still suffered a lose-lose situation. Without the "foreign aid" of the Teutonic Knight, the Ghost-faced Beast Fleet would solve all the elites at the cost of a tragic victory.

…

Weapons made by the Forerunners?

After listening to Volsa's description, Magnus frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and proposed to Leon:

"Upload the information I know so far to Queen Hong, and then prepare your guards and go to the surface entrance at the equator together."

"good."

Leon responded without objection, and turned to leave here.

Magnus bowed his head slightly and thanked Volsa: "Thank you Captain for the information, and then we will handle everything."

"No thanks, this is what an ally should do." Volsa shook his head lightly.

Immediately afterwards, the elite commander raised his fisted right hand, and his emotions became quite indignant:

"Respected Magnus, if you want to land on the ground, be sure to bring me and my subordinates! I want to avenge my dead compatriots!"

"I can understand your feelings, but for your sake and for our safety, please stay on the Teutonic Knight." Magnus politely declined.

"This... well, then please." Volsa had to give up.

End the conversation.

The auxiliaries led the group of survivors to an area on the edge of the hangar so they could rest.

Leon used the power armor to upload the information to the red queen through the repeater of the Teutonic Knight, and asked her to tell her father about the current situation of the Corinth galaxy before arranging the landing on the surface.

Shortly after.

The Teutonic Knight sailed out of the area covered with the wreckage of the battleship, gradually approaching the shield world, and finally "parked" at more than 40 kilometers above the ground, maintaining the rotation speed of the shield world.

Immediately after.

A large transport vessel, escorted by four Viking fighters, leaves the Teutonic Knight's hangar, traverses the turbid atmosphere, and heads for the equatorial entrance to the inner world.

————

…

Shield world equator.

Approaching the darkness of nothingness, it shrouded the area on the back side of the sun.

On the calm seaside, there is a large military base of the Covenant Empire.

The strong light emitted from the base, not only did not light up the place, giving creatures a sense of security in the face of darkness, but could be swallowed up by "darkness" at any time.

It can lead to the inner world, like an opening super-giant gate entrance, which is not far from the west of this base.

"Ah...!" The wailing screamed.

"Guru...!" and the gagging sound of some creature chewing and swallowing, reverberating inside and outside the base.

"Huh! Huh!"

Suddenly, the dense blue and green plasma cannons flickered in the corner of the east side of the base.

Take a closer look.

I saw several covenant battle teams fleeing towards a fortress without any discipline.

As they ran, they swung their guns behind them, ignoring accuracy and heat dissipation. At the same time, in order to vent their uncontrollable anxiety and fear, they frantically pulled the trigger and tilted the plasma cannon toward the "enemy".

Look closely at their faces.

All of them are as if they have encountered a ghost, showing a very frightening demeanor.

Even a few recalcitrant ghost-faced beasts were panting heavily, running at the front of the team regardless of "for my clan" or "for my god", striving for more chances for them to survive.

"Roar~----!"

At this moment, an "elite" monster rushed out from the right side of the team with a roar, and swung "his" sturdy right arm to pounce on a ghost-faced beast.

"Bang!" sounded.

"Elite" actually broke through the energy shield at one time with only the hard swing of his right arm, and his strength remained undiminished.

"Pfft!" Blood spurted out immediately.

The ghost-faced beast weighing nearly half a ton flew out more than ten meters in a perfect arc, and finally passed out and lost its combat capability first.

The "elite" who finished dealing with a ghost-faced beast seemed dissatisfied, and chose to rush into the enemy group alone.

! !

"Get rid of it!" shouted the well-armored ghost-faced beast commander.

Everything happened very fast, and the covenant battle team had no time to react, so they had to stop their escape and had to deal with the "elite" first.

"The corpse should lie down!"

"Roar! Damn Sangheili, he won't stop even when he's dead!"

The ghost-faced beasts, who were the first to react, scolded and pointed the muzzle of the plasma rifle in front of the "elite".

"Yeah! Ya!"

Gnolls and Grunts also shouted, forcing themselves to overcome their fears and assist their commanders in the attack.

"Roar…"

The "elite" forcibly resisted the concentrated fire attack for a few seconds, and finally lay on the ground with a roar.

Seeing the successful knockdown, it finally allowed the covenant soldiers to see this "elite" whose strength, speed and vitality were extremely exaggerated.

"His" figure was twisted and twisted, looking very awkward and uncoordinated.

The skin exposed outside the armor is viscous and earthy green, with dense creeping tentacles and tentacles on the head and neck, and the right arm is distorted and twisted into a huge whip-like tissue.
