Chapter 268 Go to war!, Nihility and Hunger(1/2)
"It's about time."
As Sui Bian spoke, he waved his hand to dissipate all kinds of data imaged on the center console, turned around and walked towards the giant porthole at the front of the bridge, and ordered to the Red Queen:
"Inform Robert and the others to prepare for a brief meeting."
"Yes." The Red Queen promised.
After that, Sui Bian stopped and turned to face the entire bridge, with his back to the porthole that had an excellent view.
The Red Queen stood on his left hand side, and the White Queen stood on his right hand side. At this moment, he was holding a long straight sword with a scabbard and a hilt big enough for both hands to hold.
The main color of the scabbard and hilt is still black, which best reflects Umbrella's style. If you look closely, you can see that there are exquisite gold lines.
The end of the sword hilt is also inlaid with a transparent gemstone that reflects light red under the light.
Waited for a while.
A large number of blue "light spots" appeared on the bridge like they were surrounded by the wind. They gathered together, causing Robert, John, Russ, Sanguinius and Angron, who were wearing the original power armor, to appear on Sui Bian's body in turn.
forward.
"Father." Robert, as the eldest son, spoke first on behalf of his brothers: "Has the news been sent back from Corax and Nova?"
"That's right."
Sui Bian raised his right hand, took the long straight sword from Empress Bai, then held the hilt of the sword with his left hand, and said to his five heirs:
"Just as planned, the Covenant Empire fell into uncontrollable civil strife, and now it lacks a commanding class. This is when they are at their weakest. Do you remember what I taught you back then?"
As if recalling the past, the five Primarchs looked at each other and smiled, and then replied in unison: "Kill it while it is sick!"
"Hahaha! Yes!"
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Sui Bian also laughed heartily and rarely. Then, he held the hilt of the sword in his right hand and made a gesture as if he was about to draw the sword. He said in a slightly excited mood:
"Children! There is no need to say more, but I need to explain one thing, and that is to defeat the Covenant Empire with such overwhelming force that it will no longer be able to fight back!"
"Father, please don't worry!"
At this time.
With a metallic cry of "Clang!", Sui Bian drew the sword with his right hand, and let the sharp blade of the cold light rush out of the scabbard.
"Hoo~!"
The moment the sharp blade was released, the commotion of burning fire spread throughout the entire bridge, and a flame shining with golden light was seen, filling and wrapping the blade of the long straight sword.
Facing the fierce fire, Sui Bian raised his sword high and shouted loudly: "Go to war!"
"Yes! Father!"
The Primarchs also responded excitedly and actively dissipated their holographic images.
See the situation.
Sui Bian waved his right hand, extinguishing the blazing fire, and then returned the sword to the scabbard accurately.
This long straight sword called the Sword of Execution was his favorite among Sui Bian's many collections.
When Hephaestus forged the sword, he drew immeasurable spiritual energy from him. If anyone other than him and the ten sons of the Primarch tried to pull the sword out of its scabbard, the best result would be
The soul is destroyed.
Take back the blade.
Sui Bian gave the ruling sword to Queen Bai again and asked him to keep it as his secretary. He turned to face the porthole and looked at the scene outside the window.
at his feet.
It is a harvest star with a blue atmosphere and a surface covered with various plants and crops.
Look ahead.
Against the background of deep space, there is a spectacular scene of more than 1,200 warships and ships of various types, opening jump channels of different sizes one by one, and sailing into the fault space one by one.
Such a majestic and powerful moment of the expedition actually made the red and white queens, who were artificial intelligences, use the muscle fibers on their prosthetic faces to show some emotion and excitement.
Although the two of them still cannot understand human emotions well, they know that this war initiated by the Covenant Empire is of great significance.
Because this is the largest interstellar war since Umbrella disclosed the existence of the original body and the Astartes and allowed this group of super warriors to participate.
Maybe…
No, it should be humanity in the future. If a full-scale war breaks out with other alien forces, the scale will inevitably exceed this one.
Therefore, the two of them can understand the significance of the first battle, and the Red Queen has been providing intelligence assistance to the mixed fleet and the remaining troops.
Queen Bai was naturally not idle.
She now needs to secretly control the human economy. She also needs to film the scenes of the five mixed fleets going out, edit them and upload them to the Internet, and then monitor and control public opinion on the Internet.
Watching the entire mixed fleet sail into the fault space and the entrances to the vortex disappear one after another, Sui Bian turned slightly sideways, looked at Queen Bai beside him and asked:
"How did the people react to the expedition?"
Hear the words.
Bai Hou, whose pupils continued to glow with a faint blue light, reported: "In view of the previously released gang-hopping videos, the people are full of confidence in this war, and the number of people actively joining the army has also increased a lot."
"Well, continue to maintain the current situation."
"OK."
"Red Queen." Sui Bian looked sideways to the other side and said to the Red Queen, who was like the twin sister of the White Queen: "Inform Leon and Magnus that it is time to set off for the Corinthian system."
"yes."
"Also, help me tell them that they must pay attention to their own safety."
"yes."
Not long after the conversation ended.
Through the porthole, Sui Bian saw a Steadfast class belonging to the Dark Angel fleet, with top-notch speed and maneuverability, passing by the Hymn of Courage from the right.
The Steadfast-class ship broke away from the fleet, arrived at the designated location, opened the entrance to the vortex, and also sailed into the fault space to begin its jump voyage.
“…”
Seeing the entrance of the vortex dissipate, Sui Bian's brows furrowed slightly, showing a worried expression.
Because the Corinthian galaxy where his third son and ninth son are going is full of unknowns, and the oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is the fear of the unknown.
Even though Sui Bian is not afraid now, as a father, he cannot erase his worry about his son.
However, Leon is the sword master among his many sons, and Magnus is also the psyker second only to him. Together, these two should be able to unlock all the unknowns and ensure their own safety.
A moment of silence.
Sui Bian left the porthole and returned to the center console, preparing to hold a meeting with UEG and UNSC officials and generals to discuss the next series of logistical matters.

…
Eighteen hours later.
The Steadfast-class frigate named "Teutonic Knights" sailed quickly in the fault tunnel with blue waves.
It didn't take long.
The Teutonic Knights sailed out of the end of the tunnel, carrying Leon, Magnus and others back to the regular universe and arrived at the destination of this voyage——
Corinthian Galaxy.
If you observe the galaxy from an "overlooking" angle, it is not difficult to find that the location of the Teutonic Knights is at the very edge of the galaxy.
In the center of the galaxy is a red dwarf star that is smaller in size and luminosity than the sun, and three planets orbit it.
The first and second orbits are both dwarf planets, and the third orbit is an ice giant planet similar to Neptune.
Among them, the dwarf planet in the first orbit has a diameter of only 1,200 kilometers, an extremely thin atmosphere, and a gray desert on the surface.
On the other hand, the diameter of the second orbit is 3,400 kilometers, which is borderline between dwarf planets and terrestrial planets. It is completely different from the dwarf planets of the first orbit.
The atmosphere is thick, and there are oceans and land on the surface. It doesn't look like a dwarf planet at all.
However, its atmosphere is quite turbid, possibly due to insufficient illumination from the red dwarf star, which makes the entire dwarf planet seem to be covered with a gray dirty cloth, giving it a "sick" sense of déjà vu.
at the same time.
Within the low-Earth orbit and gravitational range of this dwarf planet, there are a large number of battleships and shipwrecks of Covenant Empire technology.
To this day, plasma cannons still flash from time to time among the wreckage, indicating that the civil war taking place here has not stopped.
And at this moment.
The Teutonic Knights used the speed of normal navigation to just pass the sapphire-like ice giant planet.
Inside the bridge.
A bald male captain, who appeared to be about thirty years old and had a prosthetic limb to replace his left forearm, gave the order:
"The entire ship is on alert, conducting a comprehensive scan of the dwarf planets in the second orbit, targeting the remaining battleships of the Covenant, and then analyzing which ones belong to the Sangheili and which ones still belong to the Covenant Empire."
