Umbrella, The Light of Humanity - Chapter 329
Earth Time: September 17, 2112.
Pacific O’clock: 04:12.
Within the gravitational range of the prehistoric planets facing the stars, at least 4,000 vortex exits of different sizes, emitting a faint blue light, emerged for the end of the Extreme Corps and the thirty-six fleets of the UNSC 3rd, 5th, and 8th. Jump sailing state.
Among them, the Olympus-class flagship with a length of nearly 20 kilometers and one of the pinnacle warships of mankind and the flagship of the Extreme Legion, the Guardian of the Dawn, is particularly conspicuous.
But this pinnacle can only be the pinnacle of the current stage. When the ten legions and Sui Bian’s exclusive homeworld are completed and officially put into use, the pinnacle flagship will easily change hands.
However, even if there are hundreds of millions of sentinel-type engineering machines to assist in the construction, the construction cycle of each home world is 20 to 25 years, so the Olympus class still needs to maintain a “battleship overlord” for a period of time.
In addition to the Guardian of Dawn, there are twelve Olympus-class ships with a length of about 12 kilometers, and more than two hundred Zeus-class ships with a length of 5 kilometers. It can be described as an extremely large-scale expeditionary fleet.
This is only half of the military force that Robert mobilized in the extreme sector.
The Legion of Dark Angels, which had already arrived on the prehistoric planet, was also incorporated into the expedition fleet, and then moored together in low-Earth orbit for standby.
At the same time, the fleet released a large number of transport boats and transport planes to prepare to travel to and from the surface to obtain living materials from the space gate base. After all, the fleet has been transitioning and sailing for six days.
The surface at the moment.
The main airport of the space gate base, on the second floor, at the exit of the covered bridge number 01, there are only Rogge and Leon wearing the Primarch power armor, and there are no traces of the accompanying generals, officials and glory guards around.
“I said Leon, my father said that your face is really stinky. He told you to change it, but you didn’t change it. It was an exciting time for brothers to get together. When I saw you…”
“Enough, shut your mouth.”
Leon, who frowned, interrupted Rogge’s constant chatter, then raised his left hand, stretched out his index finger and thumb to knead his temples, trying to relieve the headache, and squinted at his brother, unable to complain:
“I laugh, can’t I laugh?”
As he said that, Leon put down his hand impatiently again, revealing a frown that kept the word “Chuan” between his brows, but the corners of his mouth mechanically grinned upwards, a smile that was not a smile, and an awkward expression that seemed to be sad but not sad.
At this moment, the gate suddenly opened, allowing Robert, who was wearing blue and gold power armor with a red cape hanging behind him, to walk out of the covered bridge, directly encountering Leon’s bizarre demeanor.
Leon: “…”
Roger: “…”
Robert: “…”
In an instant, the scene fell into deadly silence, the three brothers looked at each other, and the atmosphere was indescribable.
“Hahahaha! What the hell!”
Rogge was the first to react, he couldn’t help laughing loudly, raised his hand and slapped Leon’s shoulder armor, and the strength was not well controlled, causing the whole area to vibrate a little with the slap.
“…” Leon quickly returned to his indifference, not mentioning what happened just now.
“Leon…” As the eldest brother, Robert resisted his smile, walked forward, raised his hand and patted Leon’s shoulder armor on the other side, and said “heart-to-heart”:
“I understand, you definitely can’t stand Rogge’s mouth, but you really need to practice smiling more, don’t…cough, don’t always look paralyzed.”
“Yes! That’s right, hahaha!” Rogge stretched his arms around Leon and Robert, letting the three of them hug each other. The conversation changed: “We are finally reunited.”
Hearing that, Leon and Robert also cooperated with Rogge.
After a few seconds of silence, the three of them put down their hands, and Rogge turned away from the entrance and exit of the covered bridge, and greeted the two brothers: “Come with me, I have found a batch of good wine, let’s drink and talk.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Robert replied with a smile.
“…” Leon also nodded in agreement.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that all the personnel gathered on the prehistoric planet, the three of them took advantage of the gap before the fleet completed the supply of supplies, ready to have a good chat, not only about the upcoming expedition, but also what interesting and disturbing things have happened over the years,
Leon and Rogge are okay, because the Dark Angels are temporarily staying in the solar system, the two of them often meet, but Robert has not seen them or even all the brothers for 40 years.
So the three brothers came to a large lounge on the second floor of the airport, stood in front of the temporary bar, and then Rogge served as the bartender to pour wine for Leon and Robert.
Talk for a while.
Robert drank the tequila in the big glass and said in a deep voice, “My father appointed me as the commander in charge of this expedition. If the battle goes bad, Sanguinius and Corax will also come to our aid. Come on, my father really sees the green-skinned orcs as a threat.”
“…” Leon nodded without answering.
“Nova didn’t say…” Rogge put Robert on the full wine glass on the bar table, looked at the two brothers left and right, and said, “The number of them may be over a trillion, or more, so my father will also put four Stellar bombs, sent to this side through the space gate.”
“Four…” Robert mused.
He doesn’t know how much the company has in stock, but sending four stellar bombs derived from artificial stellar technology is enough to testify how much Sui Bian attaches importance to green skin.
And Rogge didn’t wait for Robert to speak, and continued: “I will arrange a transport team to send four star bombs to the Guardian of the Dawn. By the way, the company has sent a batch of new star nuclear bombs. Are you two interested? ?”
“…” Leon shook his head.
“What you said is like selling nuclear bombs as vegetables.” Robert also shook his head.
Rogge chuckled and wanted to say “Isn’t it?”, but Robert drained the tequila in the glass and said, “Let’s drink today’s wine first, it’s time to discuss the expedition. ”
With that said, Robert pushed the wine glass aside, and used the power armor to present a holographic star map in front of the three of them. Before collecting them, he relaxed his mind and said with a serious face:
“Leon, Rogge, since my father appointed me as the war commander of this expedition, then I hope our brothers can work together to fight this battle well.”
“Don’t worry.” Rogge replied immediately.
“Well.” Leon still nodded.
Although they haven’t seen each other for decades, all the brothers are still very convinced of Robert, and there is no objection to his father’s order.
“Okay!” Seeing the two brothers express their opinions, Robert put his gaze on the holographic star map and began to assign tasks:
“No matter what kind of war, logistical support will always come first, so Rogge, you and your iron fist are stationed on a prehistoric planet, and I will also leave the UNSC 36th and 37th Fleet to be responsible for orbital defense. Make sure that the supply lines of the expeditionary force do not go wrong.”
“Leave it to me.” Roger readily responded.
Although it is still “squatting” in the rear, it is not much different from guarding the solar system, and it is a pity that it is not possible to accompany the expedition to the front line, but Rogge can clearly distinguish the importance of it.
“Please.” Robert continued to debug the holographic star map, separated two secondary screens, magnified the home galaxy of the Tipu people, and the residence of the Valin tribe “bordering” the Tipu Empire, and continued to say the analysis:
Gu Yan
“Leon and I will be in charge of defeating the Tipur Empire and capturing their remaining 150 or so colonies. This is one of our goals. As for the Tipur people… It doesn’t seem cost-effective to capture them for labor. The efficiency should be far inferior to the sentinel of the engineering team, so there will be no prisoners left, no matter what, only by eliminating the Tau Empire first, we can devote all our energy to dealing with the green orcs.”
Speaking, Robert stretched out his left hand and pointed to the secondary screen showing the Tipu home galaxy, turned his head and said to Leon: “Leon, it is up to you to destroy their homes and announce to the galaxy what will happen if you take the initiative to provoke humans. ”
“No problem.” Leon replied briefly.
“What about you?” Roger wondered.
Robert did not answer in a hurry, but pointed to the second sub-screen showing the Valin residence and said, “I will go here in person, if you want more information about the greenskin orcs, ask this group of Valin Should be the best choice.
After all, “they” are incompatible with the Tepur Empire, and they have recently fought with the orcs, so I need to personally confirm the attitude of “them”. It would be best if they could break the alliance like the Marians. If not, then I will force” They” make a choice. ”
“I hope this group of fair-faced elves will be familiar with each other.” Rogge echoed.
The branch of the Valin tribe that they have the most human contact with is the Marr who joined the human society under the leadership of Erin Mir.
And most of the Valin tribes around the cantilever of Orion also showed varying degrees of goodwill, and were willing to communicate and trade with humans.
After all, they share many similarities with humans, both aesthetically, culturally, and physically.
But the reality is that if there is a friendly side, there must be a neutral or even hostile guy.
Many Weilin pirates who rely on looting for a living and follow their own desires and “hobbies” are a group of lunatics, and they are inextricably linked with the evil gods and demons in different dimensions.
This is why Robert attaches great importance to the group of Valin.
As the Warmaster of this expedition, he didn’t want to be backstabbed by the Valin when he faced the mysterious and strange green-skinned orcs.
Immediately afterwards, the three brothers continued to refine some division of labor and responsibilities. When nothing was left out, Robert showed a hearty smile and stretched out his right hand and shook it in front of the brothers.
Seeing this, Leon and Rogge also stretched out their hands and held each other tightly.
Next.
The three brothers who had just been together for a while now had to be separated again.
Rogge led the elite of the Glory Iron Fist to stay on the prehistoric planet as planned, to ensure the smooth flow of logistical supply lines, and to continue to eliminate the remaining Tipu people.
On the contrary, Nova, Sarah and more than 5,000 recruits were deployed to the flagship of the Extreme and Dark Angels Legion, the Guardian of the Dawn and the Anthem of Courage, and went on an expedition with the main force of the fleet.
When the fleet is complete with life supplies and everything is ready…
08:19 PT.
Within the gravitational range of the prehistoric planets, thousands of whirlpool entrances unfolded one by one for the corresponding warships to enter the fault space and rush to the more than 150 colonies of the Tepur Empire.
Leon led a quarter of the Dark Angels, including the Anthem of Courage, a total of twenty-seven warships headed straight to the core of the Taupur Empire.
And Robert is also a quarter of the extreme army, and immediately goes to the galaxy inhabited by thousands of Valin.
soon.
The low-Earth orbit, which originally appeared to be very “crowded”, was much more empty due to the disappearance of the main force of the expedition fleet, and “only” more than 260 warships remained.

…
Twelve hours later.
Tipu parent galaxy.
If you look down on the galaxy from a “planar view”, at the center is a star whose size and mass far exceed that of the sun, releasing radiation and energy into the icy universe, and at the same time emitting light blue dazzling light outward.
The first to fifth orbits are all terrestrial planets, and the four close to the stars are as bare and desolate as Mercury.
Although the fifth lesson is equally desolate, and the main color is desert yellow, there are still water sources and woodlands representing life, as well as a thick atmosphere.
This is the home planet of the Taupur Empire.
As for the gaseous planets in the sixth and seventh orbits, it is not worth mentioning.
A closer look at the Tipu parent star.
Its surface is similar to the unmodified Mars a hundred years ago, even the volume and mass are similar, with low gravity and thin air. However, it is precisely affected by such a harsh environment that Tipu people are keen to plunder and occupy various resources.
Low-Earth orbit has a considerable number of space stations and warships used to defend their home planets.
And they are most proud of, the largest scale, the cosmic fortress with a length and width of “full” six kilometers, is parked above the capital of the mother star.
Through the various warships gradually gathering near the fortress, it shows that their territory is already “beacon fires”, and the battle situation is so severe that it is necessary to use the defense forces of the mother planet for rescue.
Swish—Swish—! !
suddenly!
Twenty-seven vortex exits emerged one after another, allowing the Dark Angels fleet led by Leon to leave the fault space, and the Anthem of Courage actually accelerated and rushed straight towards the Cosmic Fortress not far away.
! ! !
The sudden change made Tipu too late to react, and the Cosmic Fortress hurriedly turned its angle, trying to avoid it.
Can…
Boom—-long—-!
However, as one of the pinnacles of human combat power, Hymn of Courage, where would the fortress be given a chance to escape? Actively deploys the energy shield and collides violently with it.
With the “silent” explosion and fire, the Anthem of Courage smashed through the cosmic fortress, and its hull structure was not damaged in the slightest.
The other Tieura battleships who reacted tried to focus fire and bombard, but in a short period of time they were helpless to the shield of the Psalm of Valor.
now.
Inside the bridge of the Anthem of Courage.
Leon, who was standing behind the giant porthole, with his hands behind his back, looked down at the Tipu mother star with a blank expression, and ordered in an understatement:
“Notify the bombing squadron, prepare to drop new star nuclear bombs, and then turn on the public frequency. I will personally declare the demise of their mother planet to the Tepur Empire.”
