Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

The transport boat lowered its height, first circled the freshwater lake, adjusted the angle of the fuselage, then deployed the landing gear, and finally landed on the apron.

boom……

The roar of the engine gradually died down.

Seeing that the transport boat had landed, the people waiting by the side walked onto the tarmac and walked towards the tail of the transport boat.

The leader is John, who wears power armor and absorbs the Spear of Fear to his back, accompanied by four warrior guards.

As well as Gabriel, who is still equipped with ceramic steel armor, and the second lieutenant of the paratroopers who exclusively use TPS power armor, as well as Shirley and Laura who just arrived.

The group walked towards the tail of the plane with the large hatch below.

approach.

Sui Bian and Leon also got out of the transport boat and joined John, Shirley and others.

Father. John first said respectfully to Sui Bian, then looked at Leon and said, Long time no see, Leon.

It's only five years, not a long time. Leon seemed to respond indifferently, but he was actually teasing his brother.

It's just that this ridicule is somewhat cold.

However, Sui Bian smiled lightly. After sensing the changes in the second son with his psychic ability, he praised John: It seems that you have improved a lot in the past few years, keep it up.

yes.

After finishing the brief conversation with the second son, Sui Bian gave Gabriel and the second lieutenant even more affirmative remarks, saying:

I have read the complete record of the battle situation. It is because of you and your comrades-in-arms, brothers, and all members of the UNSC Retribution to fight together that the war was prevented from affecting thousands of innocent people on Harvest Star.

Well done, thank you for your hard work, and then I will give you a certain amount of time to recuperate, especially you, the second lieutenant, and your paratrooper company.

Chairman, after the company resumes full strength, we hope to be transferred to the front line! To be honest, yesterday we were worried that there would be no aliens to kill!

The ensign responded emotionally.

It's right to fight for your father! Gabriel was also a little excited.

Even though Gabriel and a group of recruits were able to talk to Sui Bian at close range, the G gland made them respect their father no less than the original body as they grew older.

At this time.

Seeing that Sui Bian, her uncle, had finished talking with the second lieutenant and Gabriel, and turned her gaze to her and Laura, Xue Li took the initiative to speak:

Director, the engineering team has completed the preliminary excavation, shall we enter the ruins now?

Wait a minute, John, take me to meet those captives. Sui Bian said

Yes, father.

John agreed and led the crowd off the tarmac.

…

The easternmost side of the temporary camp.

There is a building that looks like a warehouse.

Aw... Aw!

Inside the building, the elite clan was filled with angry and unwilling roars.

But here, there are only lighting lights installed on the top, eight simple cells, and a single room.

The leakage fence around the cell is composed of metal pillars as thick as a human forearm, and each cell can hold more than a hundred adult humans.

At this time, the elites captured by Gabriel and his brothers, as well as the Jackals and Grunts captured by the ground forces of Harvest Star, were being held together.

Among them, the number of Grunts is the largest, with more than 500 and less than 200 wolf men, and they are concentrated in seven cells.

The last room was crowded with more than 70 elites.

The Covenant soldiers of these three races were forcibly removed from their armor. Only the Grunts still wore masks and gas tanks, and breathed extremely smelly gas to maintain their physiological functions.

There are no ghost-faced beasts, not because the ghost-faced beasts would rather die than surrender, but because Gabriel and a group of brothers acted in a deadly manner before reaching the bridge area.

Once on the bridge, it was decided to attempt to capture the Covenant command class.

This caused the ghost-faced beast to be slaughtered by Gabriel and the others without any chance of being captured or surrendering.

The reason why there are also fewer gnolls is that they successfully landed on the surface of Harvest Star in the escape pod, and they thought that the Kriegs of the ground troops were easier to deal with than the Astartes.

Instead of surrendering, he dared to try to fight back.

So the Kriegers taught the Gnoll a lesson.

Finally, there was the engineer who cooperated so well that even Astartes felt cute.

In view of its docile nature, it has received special care from humans. It is currently in a small cell, researching metal pillars by itself, and seems to be trying to understand human alloy technology.

As for the prison guards in charge of guarding this warehouse, they are Astartes wearing Thor's Hammer V and twenty Spartan legions.

The defensive force is more than sufficient, and there is no need to worry about the possibility of escape and riots.

In the cell.

The Grunt huddled into a ball, and the Jackal lay on the ground with his head in his arms. Whenever the giant Spartan patrol passed by, his body couldn't stop shaking.

Aw!

Only the elites were unconvinced, and stretched their arms out of the gap in the fence, trying to scratch the passing Spartans.

...

Sparta on patrol turned his head slightly, as if he had cast a glance at the group of elites, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and continued walking towards the next area.

Stay away from Sparta.

The elites are a little more honest now, but they still use the language of the Star Alliance to talk to each other quite unhappily.

Take a closer look at these guys.

With their armor removed, they wore some kind of light combat uniforms. They were indeed slim compared to the ghost beasts, but they were completely superior compared to humans.

Strong self-esteem made the elites prefer to believe that the reason why the Astartes easily defeated them was the increase brought by power armor, rather than the fact that the Astartes themselves were stronger than them.

Elites look down on Brute Beasts that are far superior to them in strength, because they can rely on agility and speed to win, and regard Brute Beasts as things that can only rush without thinking.

On the contrary, an elite sitting cross-legged in the center of the cell remained silent from beginning to end.

This elite looks calmer than others of the same kind, and the skin exposed outside the combat uniform is covered with hideous scars, indicating that he is a veteran who has experienced many battles.

It was the golden-armored commander who survived Gabriel's kick and was translated into Murlyn Mill by Queen Bai.

As the commander-in-chief of the scouting fleet, Moore was not as angry and supercilious as he was before the war, but was thinking about why he was defeated.

The Prophet said heresy (human being) is a blasphemous being, so it was ordered to go to war.

At first, when he witnessed the lonely Retribution, fearlessly charging their fleet, Moore secretly praised it is an admirable heresy.

Looking at it now, that compliment seems like a joke.

Moore also didn't have the naive idea of ​​his peers, thinking that Gabriel and the reserve team won by stealth, and that losing was losing, and there was no need to make excuses for losing.

After waking up, Moore began to think about why the prophet would directly issue an extermination order.

Because according to the usual procedures, when they discover a new race, they should first contact each other and try to incorporate the other party into a part of the Star Alliance.

If the other party is unwilling, the Star Alliance will use war methods to force the other party to submit, and extermination orders are extremely rare.

Something is not normal.

Why is it directly judged that human beings are heretics?

Moore couldn't figure it out.

Especially after seeing the combat power shown by the Astartes, it even considered proposing to the Prophet to give humans a chance to join the Star Alliance.

Just as soon as this idea came up, Gabriel and a group of brothers had already reached the bridge, and then it sat here.

Pull humans into the Star Alliance?

hehe…

Thinking of this, Moore couldn't help laughing at himself.

Boom, boom!

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps heavier than Sparta's began to resound throughout the warehouse.

?

This instantly attracted the attention of the Star Alliance, and they all looked towards the entrance and exit of the warehouse.

I saw Sui Bian and others entering the warehouse.

I saw a group of warriors and guards wearing terminators, and I saw the most conspicuous ones, behind Leon and John who followed Sui Bian...

!

It directly frightened the Grunt and the Wolf man so much that they didn't dare to breathe, and their bodies trembled intensified, for fear of angering the two four-meter-tall Primarchs.

! !

Even some young and energetic elites no longer shouted like they did just now, showing a look of astonishment that humans could understand, and backed away from the fence again and again.

Aw...! Aw! Their four-petal mouths kept saying something.

If Bai was allowed to translate later, the target human vocabulary should be devil, or demon.

...

Seeing Sui Bian and others walking straight towards them, even Moore, who had been keeping calm all this time, got up in surprise.

What kind of race did the Star Alliance provoke!

Come closer.

Sui Bian, with his hands behind his back, looked closely at the elites imprisoned here, and could clearly feel the emotions of this group of fighting races.

Confusion and confusion occupy the absolute.

now.

Moore, who had regained his composure, also guessed that Sui Bian was the leader of the Primarch and Astartes through his position.

Mullyn Mill, right, I should be right.

At this moment, an echo-like inquiry appeared next to Moore's ear, and it was in human language.

But it can understand!

! ! !

This shocked Moore, and made him instinctively look directly at Sui Bian.

That's right, it's me.

Sui Bian, who kept a kind smiling face, said to Moore again without moving his mouth:

I know your confusion, why can you understand my question, because there is a language barrier, but the soul can't.

Soul?! You mean, you are directly talking to my soul?! Moore was shocked.

It can be understood in this way. Sui Bian did not deny it.

At the same time, in the eyes of the red and white queens, Shirley and Laura, and a group of elites.

Sui Bian kept smiling and remained silent, while Moore yelled Aww!, as if convulsing himself.

Take it easy.

Moore finally managed to regain his composure, then nodded lightly and said, That's right, I'm Moore, the Supreme Captain of the Covenant (Star Alliance) Empire, I wonder if your Excellency is...?

Chairman, you can call me that. As for the identity...hehe, there are too many. You just need to know that I am a human being.

Sui Bian responded with a chuckle, and then continued to ask without giving Moore too much time to react:

Then Captain Linmeer, I want to know if your covenant empire is led by a so-called prophet, and is planning to lead you to a higher level of space...

Make a pilgrimage, right?

Yes. Moore responded without thinking, and said directly: Everything we do is to find the legacy left by the gods.

And you human beings are heretics judged by the prophets, and you are blasphemy existences!

but…

Moore couldn't continue.

But Sui Bian sensed Moore's doubts, and released his psychic power to amplify the doubts, and guided the other party with words:

But don't know why, do you?

... Moore nodded silently.

Then come with me, and I will take you and your compatriots to witness what is heresy and what is God.

The sense of echo in Sui Bian's words became a little stronger.

Then he looked at John who was beside him from the corner of his eye, and said, Open the cell door.

yes.

Without any hesitation, John waved his hand immediately to let a Spartan in charge of guarding the warehouse open the cell door.

?

Seeing the slowly opening prison door, most of the elites were a little confused.

Aww!

But a dozen or so elites who used to wear brown armor and belonged to high-level fighters took the opportunity and launched a sneak attack at an extremely fast speed.

Looking at this posture, they are not willing to be captured, and they want to use sneak attacks to hold Sui Bian, who is not protected by power armor, and the white queen and red queen who seem to be weak.

But as soon as they take a step...

boom---!

Plop! Plop!

All the elites lost control of their bodies in an instant, and fell to the ground one after another. The air was like a heavy weight, and they couldn't breathe.

There is no room for resistance.

Aw...

The elite once again wailed uniquely to their clan.

I forgot to remind you, Captain Linmeer. Sui Bian still showed a very friendly smile, looked at Moore who was forced to collapse on the ground, and continued:

Tell your subordinates to be honest, next time, I will die.

finished.

Sui Bian dissipated his psychic oppression, turned around and left one step ahead, leaving Leon and John to escort the group of elites.

As for Sui Bian's seeing death and not saving.

In fact, if Sui Bian hadn't carried out the timely psychic oppression, then this group of elites would have been torn to pieces by the two artificial intelligences.

As for Leon, John, the guards and the warriors who also have spiritual perception, they noticed from the beginning that the father wanted to make the elite realize that in the face of absolute strength, any small thoughts are futile.

Otherwise, before the radical elites try to sneak attack, their body and soul will be burned to ashes by Sui Bian's psychic light.

The disappearance of the oppressive feeling allowed the elites to breathe freely, and also allowed them to regain control of their bodies, struggling to get up.

This time, all the elites have become extremely honest, and will no longer yell Aww.

Because psionic oppression is also a supernatural phenomenon for them.

Moore, who was secretly guided by Sui Bian, did not struggle too much, and was the first to walk out of the cell, and exhorted in their language:

All keep up, don't make drastic moves.

...

Seeing that their commanders all chose to cooperate, the elites looked at each other in blank dismay, but in the end they chose to keep up with Moore and walked out of the warehouse under the guard of the Primarch and the Terminator.

One of the adjutants approached Moore calmly, and asked in a low voice: Captain, can these humans be trusted?

heard the words.

I don't know. Moore looked at the exit in front of him, and said with an emphasis: But intuition tells me that following the mysterious human who claims to be the chairman of the board, I may be able to find the answer about my god.
