The Holy City of the Covenant, the City of Charity.

In the large conference hall, there was a lot of noise and excitement at the moment.

"This is simply disgraceful and blasphemous!!"

Looking at the completely destroyed ring wreckage on the screen in front of him, the Prophet of Truth clenched his fist angrily and smashed the armrest of the chair.

"Not only was the Holy Relic Ring destroyed, but even the Special Justice Fleet was annihilated! This is an unprecedented shame!!"

"We must respond! We cannot let humans continue to be so rampant!"

The sorrowful prophet on the side also spoke.

"However, we do not yet know the enemy's strength and intelligence."

The prophet of mercy on the other side shook his head.

"If the report is correct, the opponent only had a dozen warships, but they annihilated the entire Special Justice Fleet and even destroyed the Holy Relic Ring. Their power cannot be underestimated. We must investigate clearly where this fleet came from and where it belongs.

"

"No matter who the other party is, they can't stop our pilgrimage."

The Prophet of Truth was silent for a moment and then spoke.

"The pilgrimage is about to begin, and this failure will only make our determination stronger. In fact, it also tells us that dangers and obstacles are everywhere on the road to the holy journey, but this does not mean that we will stop

The reason for the steps.”

Having said this, the Prophet of Truth looked at the others, and the noisy races in the large conference hall fell silent at this moment.

Immediately afterwards, the voice of the prophet of truth sounded again.

"The great pilgrimage is about to begin. The obstacles that stand in our way will eventually fail. The Covenant - will pass through these obstacles and reach the end of our holy journey!"

“Ohhhhhhh!!!”

At this moment, cheers resounded throughout the entire conference hall.

Although the Prophet of Truth temporarily stabilized the unstable hearts and minds within the Covenant through his speech, the situation still did not change.

"So, we have to turn a blind eye to that fleet?"

After the meeting, the Prophet of Mercy found the Prophet of Truth with a solemn expression and asked.

"For now, just a dozen warships will not pose much of a threat to the Star Alliance. As I just said..."

Speaking of this, the truth prophet looked solemn.

"The pilgrimage is what we should care about."

At the same time, the atmosphere in the UNSC headquarters was equally tense.

"I never thought that such a fleet would actually exist."

General Terrence Hood looked at the report in front of him and was also filled with emotion. This was an old man who was nearly sixty years old. His beard and hair were all white, but his face still revealed the perseverance like a rock——

—As the Supreme Commander of the UNSC, he is indeed worthy of this title.

"Are we really going to entertain them here, sir?"

Another officer standing in front of Terrence Hood said uneasily.

"Of course, no matter where the other party came from, they defeated the Covenant fleet and helped us protect Reach. At least for now, they are not our enemies, nor the enemies of mankind."

"But don't you think their goals are a little too unusual?"

What the officer was referring to was the report submitted by Colonel Holland previously, which described what Duanmuhuai told him about the goal of the Tribunal - to eliminate all existence that threatens humanity. Frankly speaking, this goal is unknown to some UNSC

In the eyes of senior officials, it is a bit too far out of reach. Although this fleet is indeed powerful, the Covenant is not just a planet - as the name suggests, it is the result of a joint alliance of several interstellar races.

A powerful cosmic empire. And these interstellar races live on hundreds or thousands of planets. To destroy them all is a fantasy to most people.

Even the UNSC itself has never thought about completely wiping out the Covenant. Their goal is to defeat the Covenant's attack, and then sign a peace agreement with the other party after taking the initiative in the war. After all, war kills people, and humans and

The Star Alliance risking their lives is obviously not a commendable choice.

Of course, there is also a group of extremists within the UNSC who have always believed that the UNSC should completely eliminate the Covenant. However, these extreme radicals do not receive the support of the majority of people. The reason is very simple. In order to fight against the Covenant, the UNSC will completely take over the rule.

, implement military government rule. When mankind faces the threat of the Covenant Alliance, this is naturally necessary in order to ensure the survival of mankind itself.

However, once the Covenant is repulsed, it is difficult to say whether it is necessary to continue to sacrifice and fight for it. Moreover, if a high-pressure situation is maintained for a long time, it is easy to cause internal shock. What's more, strictly speaking, the complete elimination of the Covenant

, it is of no benefit to the current human beings.

Because of this, most senior military officers are worried that contact with the Tribunal may make those extreme radicals more fanatical and drag humanity into a protracted war. Therefore, many of them have proposed and Tribunal

The court temporarily adopted a certain degree of long-distance contact measures, but he did not expect that Commander Hood would directly invite him to the earth...

"They are the benefactors of Reach, so we naturally have to treat them with courtesy. And, no matter what, we can only understand their intentions by communicating first."

Commander Hood shook his head, and at this moment, a voice sounded.

"Report sir, representatives of the Tribunal have arrived."

"I'll go right away."

After hearing this, Commander Hood stood up, tidied himself up, and strode out of the room.

The gate slowly opens.

Duanmu Huai strode out of the gate and stepped onto the passage in front of him. On both sides of the passage, soldiers wearing UNSC uniforms could be seen standing there. At this moment, they looked at the dark and huge figure in front of them. They were also panicked and hurriedly backed away.

open.

Following Duanmu Huai were Ogis, An, Audrey and Lorena. This time, Duanmu Huai only brought four of them to meet with the UNSC senior management. Ogis is Duanmu Huai’s most familiar partner.

Naturally, he takes her with him everywhere. And An is the princess of Manalia. Although she usually has a wild personality and likes to be wild, as a princess, she at least knows how to maintain etiquette and propriety on such occasions.

Audrey, as the maid of Duanmu Huai, followed the three of them. Of course, as a former noble lady, Audrey was no stranger to such occasions.

As for Lorena, she was traveling as a representative of the Holy Church. For this meeting, she also specially changed into her missionary priest's attire.

I have to say that these four beautiful girls plus Duanmuhuai really attracted everyone's attention. On the one hand, both Duanmuhuai and the girls are impressive enough in terms of appearance. On the other hand, they

Their clothes and temperaments are different and more eye-catching.

Duanmu Huai, who was walking at the front, was wearing the armor of the Tribunal. With his height and sinister face, it was obvious at first glance that he was a ruthless character.

But on the other hand, Ogis, who was walking behind him, was wearing a black gothic dress, dressed like an aristocratic lady. And An was rarely seen wearing a sleeveless long dress, and she also put away her usual romantic dance.

Her unique personality makes her first impression like that of a princess.

Audrey and Lorena are even more distinctive. One is wearing a maid's outfit and the other is wearing a priest's outfit. Even if you don't know, you can guess their occupations just by looking at their clothes.

It's just that...it feels somewhat anachronistic.

"Mr. Knight is so scary no matter where he goes."

On the surface, An maintained her calm and calm princess mode, but in private she also silently complained to Ogis next to her, who just nodded slightly.

"The owner's appearance seems very threatening to the creature."

"Shut up, both of you."

Hearing the whispers coming from behind, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes helplessly. Damn, now the backstab also comes with a joint attack? Or is it a combo attack?

Do you want people to live?

Soon, the group came to the auditorium of the Cairo Space Station located in the outer orbit of the planet. Here, Duanmuhuai also met the UNSC Supreme Commander Hood. As a soldier who has experienced hundreds of battles, Commander Hood was surprised when he saw Duanmuhuai.

He was not that frightened, he just stopped slightly, and then came to Duanmu Huai as if nothing was wrong, and extended his hand to him with a smile.

"Hello, Your Excellency the Inquisitor, I am Colonel Terrence Hood, Supreme Commander of the UNSC. I welcome you all to the Cairo Space Station. Here, on behalf of the UNSC, I would also like to express my sincere wishes to everyone in the Inquisition to defeat the Covenant fleet and protect Reach.

Thank you very much for everything.”

"You are Welcome."

Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand and shook it lightly with Commander Hood.

"As the Inquisitor, it is my duty to protect mankind and eliminate threats. For the Inquisition, any enemy that threatens mankind will only be destroyed."

"I can understand your thinking."

Facing Duanmuhuai's words, Commander Hood just smiled and said nothing more. Then he made a gesture.

"Please go this way, I think we need more communication and understanding."

"I think so too."

Looking at Commander Hood, Duanmuhuai nodded.

In fact, this is what they came here for.

After that, Duanmuhuai had a closed-door meeting with Commander Hood.

He did not conceal any information. Facing Commander Hood, Duanmuhuai told frankly about the past and present life of the Inquisition, the origin of mankind, the threats the universe currently faces, and their goals. After all, for Duanmuhuai,

There was nothing to hide, and he didn't bother to be a riddler. Most of the mentally retarded people who did this were treacherous believers, and he didn't have the time.

After explaining everything that can be said clearly, what the other side plans to do with the rest depends on their own ideas.

After all, the UNSC is considered a civilization that has set foot in the universe. It is not a problem to tell them some information and help them prepare, right?

But for Commander Hood, what Duanmu Huai said was completely different.

It can even be said that it completely destroyed his outlook on life, so much so that after Duanmu Huai finished speaking, the UNSC personnel almost sat there dumbfounded, and did not come back to their senses for a long time.

I don't know how long it took before Commander Hood came back to his senses and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"To be honest, I can't believe what you said... So, everyone, come here..."

"I hope you don't misunderstand."

Duanmu Huai shook his head.

"As I said, the human empire that once ruled the galaxy has been destroyed long ago. I am not here to ask you to recognize your ancestors, but to inform you of the predecessor and status of the Tribunal. In fact, human civilizations like yours who are living outside

There are many others in the galaxy, many of whom have gone through the same development process as you. The Inquisition has no intention of bringing together the human empire again, but regardless of whether the empire exists or not, there will be no change in what the Inquisition does.

We will never let go of any existence that tries to threaten humanity, and will completely eliminate it...I think, now you understand what I mean?"

"………………Yes, I understand."

This time, Commander Hood looked serious when faced with Duanmuhuai's words. Although everything the other party said was unbelievable, if he thought about it carefully, he had no reason to deceive him about this kind of thing. And just as Duanmuhuai said, he said

This history is not meant to order oneself or anything like that, it is simply to tell them the origins of the Inquisition.

It is conceivable that if what this inquisitor said is true, then the Inquisition is indeed a powerful organization.

Maybe, they can really wipe out the Star Alliance completely?
