In the space area scattered with the wreckage of battleships.

The Teutonic Knights is turning the direction of the ship. First, it uses conventional navigation to stay away from the wreckage area, and then uses the jump engine to escape from the gravitational range of the shield world. It goes to the gravitational range of the ice giant planet and is in a safe space to observe from a distance.

.

The inner earth world at this moment.

Due to the execution of the overload program, the artificial star is gradually expanding in size. In just thirty seconds, it became about three times its original size.

As the volume continued to expand, the temperature surge caused forests to burst into flames, lakes and oceans to be quickly evaporated, and even the "swamp" areas polluted by the Flood could not escape the same fate.

The expansion rate is getting faster and faster.

Not long after, the artificial star swallowed up the entire inner earth world, followed by the metal crust, and finally the entire shield world. When it expanded to a diameter of six thousand kilometers, it maintained stability for a moment.

What follows is one of the most common sights in the universe, a star exploding...

Phew~----boom--------!

Although it is an ultra-small-scale stellar explosion, the burst of light that cannot be seen directly by the naked eye is luminous enough to light up the entire galaxy, and this brightness will last for several weeks.

And those flood demons that were about to overflow, including the unformed Corpse Brain Beast, were all annihilated in this stellar explosion.

A few minutes later.

After the artificial star was indeed overloaded and the Flood was eliminated, the Teutonic Knights opened the jump portal and sailed into the fault space to return to the Harvest Star.

The Covenant Empire has never sent any fleet to support it from beginning to end, because they are suffering from the stubborn resistance of the elite clan internally, and externally, they are facing a strong "counterattack" launched by humans.

…

While the Teutonic Knights returns to the Harvest Star.

Within the Covenant Empire.

On the surface of the colonial planet, there is a city with a large number of cylindrical megastructures. The grasslands on its eastern outskirts...

"Ta! Ta!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The "symphony" staged by the artillery regiments and ballistics of various colors and the sound of gunfire and shelling is now at its most exciting moment.

In the sky, fighter aircraft of different factions are entangled with each other, fighting each other, trying to seize or defend the current air supremacy.

"Ri~--ta-ta-ta-ta!"

The pulse close-in defense cannon can shoot extremely fast, which is especially obvious in extremely noisy melees.

Two Paris-class ships and one Goshawk-class ship were seen descending into the air about a thousand meters above the ground, providing absolute fire support for the human and elite fighter formations.

The small-caliber plasma cannons on both sides and belly of the ship are also providing artillery strikes for combat troops.

Human ships can easily enter the atmosphere, which means that the "naval battle" outside the atmosphere is coming to an end, and it also means that the Covenant Empire has completely lost control of low-Earth orbit.

on the ground.

Transport aircraft and transport boats carry troops and armored vehicles, and continuously land in landing areas far away from the city.

And inside a command armored vehicle parked in the landing zone.

A major wearing a lightweight TPS power armor, with a reversed "Ω" legion logo printed on the shoulder armor, unfolding his helmet, and wearing a black beret stood in the center of the carriage and issued orders immediately through the real-time battle conditions displayed on numerous screens.

road:

"The 1st, 2nd Combat Battalion and Armored Battalion, cooperate with the allies to conduct a frontal attack! The 3rd Battalion raids from the flank! Try to seize the east side of the city within twenty minutes!"

"learn."

Sitting in front of their respective operating desks, the auxiliary soldiers who also wore lightweight TPS power armor immediately conveyed orders to various departments.

The offensive force displayed on the screen at this moment is the auxiliary army equipped with TPS-V and CMC-450 power armor, charging towards the city with the elite clan.

The armored battalion, which has a Mammoth mobile fortress, four siege tanks, and more than a dozen light tracked infantry vehicles, is at the forefront of the attacking team.

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

At this time, several violent explosions were heard from a distance, and the shock caused by the explosion caused the armored vehicle to shake.

"Major! The 3rd Combat Battalion encountered a suicide attack by high-ranking Jiralhanae (Jilalhanae) soldiers. Lieutenant Kent asked us for support."

After listening to the report from the auxiliary army, the major responded: "Approval of the request, notifying the 2nd Combat Battalion to conduct an outflank."

"Yes... Major, the allies have also sent their high-level soldiers to accompany the 2nd Battalion for support."

"Okay, continue to maintain the current situation."

"yes."

Soon, the screen showed that the 3rd Combat Battalion, which had been hindered in its operations and suffered heavy casualties, finally changed its situation and started again after receiving the assistance of the 2nd Battalion and high-level elites.

Outside the command armored vehicle.

More than 3,000 auxiliary troops and thousands of troops led by elite clans, totaling nearly 10,000 troops, made smooth progress and occupied the east side of the city in less than 17 minutes.

View from the perspective of three frigates.

The entire city's outskirts have fallen, and UNSC, Legion Auxiliary, and elite troops are pouring into the city.

There are also many single-person or multi-person airborne pods smashed into the center of the city. Hell paratroopers and airborne divisions work from the inside out to cooperate with the main force to eliminate the resistance on the side of the Covenant Empire.

When the five Astartes-specific drop pods crossed the sky and appeared within the naked eye, the battle in this city could basically be declared over.

Leave the atmosphere for observation.

The entire planet was engulfed in flames of war and gunpowder smoke, and countless battleship wreckage filled the low-Earth orbit and nearby space.

A large amount of debris was affected by gravity and only served as space junk for a moment before falling towards the surface, bringing a gorgeous "meteor show" to the colonial planet.

It's just that neither of the warring parties has the heart to appreciate it.

In the space far away from the wreckage, there is a Zeus-class super-heavy aircraft carrier moored.

The words "Umbrella Dawnguard" printed on both sides of the ship, as well as the reversed "Ω" logo, point to the identity of "her" as the flagship of the Ultramarines, the Dawnguard.

Transport formations are leaving the hangar one after another, carrying auxiliary troops and ultramarines heading to the surface.

Inside the bridge.

The crew members also made arrangements in an orderly manner, conveying the orders from the top to all departments, so that the mixed fleet composed of the First Legion and the five UNSC main fleets was like a precision instrument operating efficiently.

Next to the center console that displayed a hologram of the planet and real-time battle conditions, there was a "captain" wearing a vice-admiral uniform, and a serious-looking Robert with his power armor helmet unfolded.

And this captain named Jacob Keyes, who looks to be in his early fifties, is known as a legend within Umbrella and the UNSC.

Not only did he witness the development history of human space-class battleships, but the "Keyes Spin" tactic he created was even included in the lesson plans of Minos Island and the UNSC Naval School.

The fact that this mixed fleet was able to defeat a covenant fleet four times its size in just six hours was directly related to this legendary captain.

Of course, it cannot be separated from the factors of assistance and containment by the elite family.

Looking at the imaged data, Case analyzed to Robert: "Based on the current progress, the ground battle will end in twelve hours.

But it will take at least two days, or more, to eliminate the remnants of the covenant. After all, ground battles are not like naval battles.

If you don’t want to extend the front line and want to continue marching deeper, it’s best to apply to your superiors for follow-up troops to take over from us to carry out clearing operations and stabilize the local situation.”

"I will apply to my father for reserves to mobilize and deploy to the planets we captured." Robert nodded in agreement and added:

"Besides, our goal is not to annex the Covenant Empire, but to completely defeat their military power. Without the capital and the highest level of command, they are just a headless fly now, and the threat level has been reduced to a minimum."

As he spoke, Robert turned to look to his left side and raised his voice to ask: "What is the status of the other mixed fleets?"

Hearing this, a female crew member removed her eyes from the control console and turned to report: "All mixed fleets are progressing smoothly."

"Okay, report the situation on our side to the company. Don't forget to sort out the helmet cameras of the soldiers and upload them to the company."

"Yes, sir."

See Robert finishing up talking to the crew.

Case put his hands behind his back and looked out the window at the planet and sighed: "I didn't expect that human beings who were still killing each other a hundred years ago can now unite to resist foreign enemies...

Times have changed, and I have grown old."

It was precisely because he participated in the Gulf War and saw the ugly face of the former military that Keyes chose to retire on the grounds of Post-War Psychological Syndrome (PTSD).

After being recruited to Umbrella by an intelligence agent, Keyes regained his confidence and pride in the military and humanity.

At the age of 109, he not only witnessed the development history of battleships, but also witnessed the transformation of mankind as a whole.

After hearing Case's emotion, Robert echoed: "The captain is joking, let's look at the next target first."

"haha okay."

The next two people returned their attention to the center console, called up the star map information provided by the City of High Charity, and made plans in advance to prepare for the attack on the next galaxy.
