Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

Control room.

The elites who picked up their weapons help Nova and the ghost agents on the alert.

Moore and four compatriots in white armor stood in front of the console covered with holographic screens, trying to gain control of the city of fraternity.

And this time.

The upper area of ​​the City of Fraternity has a suspended technology, with an area of ​​about 20 football fields, like a large disc in the sky garden.

There are many plants for appreciation, as well as non-aggressive exotic animals. As for the center of the garden, it is a magnificent palace that is different from human style.

The main color of the metal walls is purple and pink, and there are many entomological structures, which make this palace not in line with the aesthetics of most human beings.

However, this is the palace where the three priests lived and lived.

"Boom...! Boom...!"

"Huh...! Huh...!"

Here, intermittent violent explosions and plasma gunshots could be heard from below.

The Hanging Garden was peaceful and comfortable, in stark contrast to the residential area that was caught in the melee. The battle between elites, ghost-faced beasts and various races had nothing to do with the three priests.

After all, what these three ostriches care about is how to maintain their dictatorship and enjoy the extravagant life brought by power. The lives of all races are just meaningless to them.

Can…

The priests who were located in the square in front of the palace, instead of being delighted by the further stabilization of their power, they all showed a look of grief on their faces.

Around the square with the fountain device in the center, and even in the entire sky garden, there are fully armed guards on guard or patrolling, holding energy halberds, gravity hammers and other sophisticated weapons.

It is roughly estimated that there are at least a thousand guards to ensure the safety of the three priests, but these guards have been replaced by the original elites with the current ghost-faced beasts.

"…"

The suspended wheelchair imaged several holographic screens for the three ostriches, and the content displayed on the screen made their mood plummet and their expressions extremely solemn.

Humans actually sneaked into the city of fraternity?

And the troops responsible for slaughtering elites were actually defeated by a group of black cans (shadows) and elites on vacation? !

The situation seems to be far beyond their expectations...

"Respected priest."

At this time, a guard commander with a height of more than three meters and wearing a more gorgeous armor, approached, and flexed and stretched the report:

"According to our latest news, the main control room was occupied by human heretics and traitors, and our troops suffered heavy losses."

"This... What the **** is going on here?!" The Prophet of Mercy exclaimed, "Are all commanders all trash?! Can't even solve hundreds of heresies?!"

"Did Lin Mire not lie...?" The Prophet of Sorrow echoed in disbelief.

"All right."

The prophet of truth as the leader waved his hand, dissipated the holographic screen, and looked up at the ghost-faced beast commander standing in front of them and said:

"No matter where you fall, you can't lose the control room. Tataros will lead your team to retake the control room from heretics and traitors as soon as possible."

"Respected priest, please forgive my rudeness." But the ghost-faced beast commander named Tataros chose to kneel on one knee and said in a respectful tone:

"The internal situation in the City of Fraternity has spiraled out of control, with the Sangheili rebels in full force, and human heretics who are good at hiding in the shadows.

Therefore, for your safety, please evacuate to the port with us first, and take refuge in the "Endless Sea" fleet. "

heard.

"Well..." The Prophet of Truth accepted it with a groan, "Then it's up to you, take us out of here."

"Yes!"

Tataros stood up again, took the exclusive gravity hammer handed over by his subordinates, and ordered loudly: "Glory Guard! It's time to show our determination and strength to heretics and traitors! We will defend the priest to the death!"

"Defend to the death!"

Thousands of ghost-faced beasts raised their weapons and roared in unison.

but.

Suddenly "Boom~----!"

A certain "big guy" weighing nearly two tons jumped on the platform closest to the sky garden, landed in the center of the square accurately, and smashed the fountain, interrupting the battle cry of a group of ghost-faced beasts. .

"Wow~!"

The water splashed everywhere, and the **** of the fountain also collapsed towards the vicinity.

! ! !

Seeing this, Tataros and several ghost-faced beasts reacted instinctively, and hurriedly used their bodies to block in front of the three priests.

"Om~! Om~!"

The fast-moving small debris caused the armor to sense the threat and automatically generate an energy shield to intercept it.

At the same time, all the ghost-faced beasts stationed in the sky garden, after sensing such a movement, rushed to the square side, preparing to eliminate the "heretics" who dared to enter here alone.

At this moment, the three priests, through the gap between Tataros and several ghost-faced beasts, could clearly see the appearance of the "heretic" standing not far away.

It was Corax, who was wearing jet-black Primarch power armor and unfolded his helmet to look around at the ghost-faced beasts. He was over 4.5 meters tall.

The primarch who leads the Dark Crow Legion, the sixth son of Sui Bian, still has long flowing black hair, and on his fair and handsome face, he maintains a calm demeanor.

The thing that most attracted the attention of the priests should be the sharp claws that were installed on the left and right arm armors, emitting a scarlet cold light on their own—

Bloody Claws.

What scares the priests even more is that a looming black "smoke" fills the gaps in the Corax power armor, which looks quite strange.

"Guardians!"

Unable to be surprised, Tartaros raised the power hammer with one hand and swung the hammer at Corax and shouted, "For the priest! For my god, kill this ignorant heresy!"

"Roar!!"

"Go to hell! Heresy!"

"For my god!"

In an instant, thousands of ghost-faced beasts wielding gravity hammers, power halberds and power spears, and armed with high-energy plasma guns, charged towards Corax like tanks.

The reason why they can replace the elites as the Glory Guards, without the prior arrangement of the priests, is that they are also the strongest and most experienced veterans among all the tribesmen.

In such an open area where the advantage of numbers can be exerted, if there are multiple reserve squads wearing pottery steel armor under siege, they will only end up drinking hatred and losing the battle.

But it's a pity...

These ghost-faced beast veterans are facing a Primarch.

"Hu! Hu!" The claw blade was swung at a very fast speed, resulting in the sound of breaking through the air.

"Bang! Bang!" The energy shield shattered one after another.

"呲! Pfft!" Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of the claw blade shredding, cutting armor and flesh.

In an instant, Corax caused a rain of blood to rise around him at a speed that "mortals" couldn't observe.

! ! !

In the eyes of Tataros, the compatriots who were still healthy and alive in the first few seconds, became the stumps of flesh scattered on the ground in the next second...

He was stunned to form a corpse circle beside Corax!

What made Tatalos even more astonished was that Corax's expression was as usual, and there was no trace of fatigue at all.

"Devil... He is a demon! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!!"

After witnessing such an incredible scene with his own eyes, the least timid Prophet of Mercy collapsed first, and hurriedly manipulated the suspended wheelchair to escape.

"God... it's a true god..."

The same goes for the Prophet of Sorrow, who even considers Corax a **** of some sort.

"…"

The Prophet of Truth was stunned with his mouth open, his brain fell into a blank.

"Boom, boom."

At this moment, Corax raised his leg and stepped over the nearly one-meter-high corpse circle, like an impenetrable mountain, gradually approaching the targets in his sight.

With every step forward, Tartarus felt a point closer to death.

"Damn it!"

Even so, Tartaros was not afraid of the threat of death, held up his exclusive gravity hammer, charged at Corax, and shouted:

"Guardians! Defend the priests to the death! Kill heretics!!"

"Kill heretics!!"

The dozen or so remaining ghost-faced beasts also followed their leaders to launch the final charge.

"The momentum is commendable."

Corax couldn't help but comment, and then out of respect, he raised his hands and claws, and dealt with Tataros and the remaining ghostly beasts at an extremely fast speed.

In the blink of an eye.

There was only Corax's magnetic boots left in the square, and the noise made when stepping on the ground, there was no longer any guards, able to protect the three priests who were struggling to walk on their own legs.

Approaching a stop.

Corax looked at the Prophet of Mercy who was running away slowly, and released the indifference of psionic oppression: "Stop."

!

After finishing speaking, the Prophet of Mercy lost control over his own body and was sluggish and unable to move.

"God...forgive me...I will be your most devout believer..."

The Sad Prophet, who was already mentally broken down, struggled to jump out of the suspended wheelchair and wanted to kneel and worship Corax in front of him.

"Spare my life... I will immediately stop all attacks on humans, no... no... I will make the entire Covenant Empire willing to become a vassal of humans, as long as you can let me go..."

The prophet of truth, who is barely sensible, does not hesitate to contribute the entire covenant, but also wants to save his life. He is in a high position and understands the value of life.

However, Corax retracted the stretched blood-colored claws, grabbed the slender necks of the two priests with his left and right hands, and picked them up with control.

He said in a deep voice, "Pray for forgiveness? Then go to the underworld to repent."

"Crack!" With two voices, the necks of the two priests were all broken.

Tossing the lifeless corpse from side to side, Corax stepped to the side of the Prophet of Mercy and opened the communication channel:

"Nova, send a few agents to my location."

"Oh?" Nova's voice came from the communication: "Have you caught the priest of the Covenant Empire? It's a little faster than expected, as expected of a reliable Corax, huh~! Don't worry, the two agents will soon follow. arrive."

"Yeah." Corax responded lightly and ended the communication.

Next.

He walked slowly to the far right of the Hanging Garden, and the Prophet of Mercy was also under the pressure of psionic energy, so he had to control the suspension wheelchair to follow him.

Go to the edge.

Looking down on the upper residential area of ​​the entire City of Fraternity, Corax expanded the range of psionic perception and locked in the most severe areas of the battle.

Of the five main tasks his father gave him, three have been completed.

They are to provoke a civil war between the elite and the covenant empire, seize control of the city of fraternity, and capture a high priest.

Didn't wait long.

Sensing that someone was approaching, Corax turned around and saw two agents who used the levitation elevator to reach the garden and removed the HES optical camouflage, heading towards his location.

Two agents approached, and one of them took the lead and said, "Sir, leave it to us here."

"good."

Corax nodded lightly, then turned to face the edge again, jumped forward a little, jumped out of the sky garden, and smashed towards the street in the residential area like a free fall.

Waiting for the moment to touch the ground.

Corax twisted his body, rushed down with his feet, and stepped directly on a heavy tank of the Covenant Empire.

"Boom~----!"

There was a violent explosion between the streets, and a small mushroom cloud.

After the aftermath.

Soldiers of all ethnic groups who are still fighting for the Covenant Empire, vaguely see a dark figure walking out of the thick smoke...

Outside the City of Fraternity.

The combined fleet controlled by the ghost-faced beasts successfully defeated all the elite battleships, and also released countless transport planes to carry combat troops to the city of fraternity.

It seems that the ghost-faced beast commanders are bound to eradicate the elite family, along with the human heresy that has turned the city of fraternity upside down.

Sudden.

A hurricane vortex with a diameter of more than 500 kilometers, like thunder and lightning, was generated at the top of the "bacteria cap" of the city of fraternity.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the public, the City of Fraternity drove into the fault space through the entrance of the whirlpool.

After the vortex dissipated, the universe returned to "calm and calm", but the entire combined fleet set off "monstrous waves".

Because the top priority of the Covenant Empire, the city of fraternity that belongs to politics, culture, etc., all cores, actually disappeared? !

What makes them even more desperate is that the war has just begun...

Control room.

Nova, who was holding a custom-made sniper bolt gun, observed the external fault space through the holographic screen, the corner of her mouth rose slightly, turned her head to look at Moore, and used her psychic energy to smile:

"Then, Captain Lin Mill, please try to contact the Harvest Star again, thank you."

"Ow..."

Moore, who understood Nova's words, replied, and then continued with his subordinates to try to send the current situation of the City of Fraternity to Harvest Star.

Among the five tasks Sui Bian entrusted to Corax and Nova, the remaining two were to assist the elite as much as possible, reduce their casualties, and take the city of fraternity as his own.

Now it seems that the two sons of Sui Bian have successfully completed all the tasks he gave.

——————

…

Shortly after.

Inside the bridge of the Hymn of Courage.

next to the center console.

The red queen, who was wearing a formal attire, flashed a red light in her eyes, and reported to Sui Bianhui, who was also in formal attire, standing in front of her:

"Agent X018 (Nova) and the primarch Corax have successfully passed the capital of the Covenant Empire and are expected to arrive within the gravitational range of Harvest Star in fifteen hours.

Based on the information provided by Agent X018, it is judged that the Covenant Empire, which has lost three priests and all members of parliament, is in its weakest state at this moment, and it is the best time for our army to attack. "
