For Duanmu Huai, he does not see the point of concealing his past history.

The human empire is over, but their descendants are still there. As for what path they want to take, it is their own business. So whether it is the Guardian civilization or the UNSC, Duanmu Huai has no intention of intervening in their internal affairs.

Problems of governance.

But for Commander Hood, all this is of extraordinary significance.

"Thank you for your candid information, Your Majesty the Inquisitor."

Holding Duanmuhuai's hand, Commander Hood looked sad.

"We humans have been thinking about a question, where did we come from and where should we go? Now it seems that we at least have a direction and an answer."

"What you want to do is your own choice."

Duanmuhuai nodded slightly.

"In any case, the responsibilities of the Tribunal remain the same and there will be no changes. We protect mankind and long for the continuation of human civilization, but no one knows what direction human civilization will eventually go... This is what you need to do

Something happened."

"I see."

Commander Hood smiled slightly.

"At least, I can sleep well in my lifetime."

After a short conversation, the two parties came to the auditorium again, and here, Commander Hood will announce the news about the Tribunal to the UNSC, and award medals to individuals who have made outstanding contributions in the Battle of Reach.

In fact, when the two entered the stage, there was already a group of soldiers standing in front of the stage, waiting to be awarded the honor.

"The Colonial Cross is awarded only to soldiers who have fought bravely and with distinction."

Arriving in front of the soldiers, Commander Hood took the medal from the side and pinned it on their chests.

"Noble Squad, you are the example of the UNSC Spartan Forces. You discovered the invasion of the Covenant in time, issued the winter emergency order, and completed the tasks you needed to complete perfectly. Here, on behalf of the UNSC, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you

Award."

After conferring medals on all the soldiers, Commander Hood came to Duanmuhuai again.

"Here, we would also like to thank someone, this is the Inquisitor from the Tribunal - he led his fleet to promptly defeat the Covenant fleet that invaded Reach, protected our planet, and protected

The safety of our people has been compromised. Here, I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to the Tribunal..."

“Tit-tit-tit-tit-tit--!!”

However, before Commander Hood could finish his words, suddenly, a rapid siren sounded. Hearing the siren, Commander Hood frowned slightly.

"What happened?"

"The Covenant army has been detected, not far away, and a different-dimensional passage has been discovered! Fifteen Covenant capital ships have been positioned outside our range."

Soon, along with the answer, a holographic projection appeared in front of everyone's eyes. On the screen, the Covenant warships outside the defense circle were lining up. At the same time, news came from the guardian fleet.

"Admiral Harper called Commander Hood and asked for permission to engage the enemy."

"really weird……………"

Staring at the map in front of him, Commander Hood looked confused.

"The fleet that attacked Reach last time was fifty times larger than this time, and this time, they actually attacked with only a few battleships?"

Thinking of this, Commander Hood thought for a moment and then gave his answer.

"If you don't agree, please build a defense line on the outside."

"Do you think the Star Alliance is deceitful?"

Duanmuhuai asked, and Commander Hood nodded.

"We don't know how the Star Alliance knew this place, but..."

"It doesn't matter, as long as the aliens are eliminated."

Duanmuhuai interrupted Commander Hood.

"The Inquisition will deal with this issue."

After saying this, Duanmu Huai directly connected to the communication.

"Mia, teleport us back to the flagship and prepare to attack to eliminate the aliens!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw a sudden white light flashing around Duanmu Huai and others in front of them, and the next moment, they disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this scene, the UNSC officers and soldiers present were shocked, while Commander Hood was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"It seems that this is their performance time."

but……………

Commander Hood looked at the map in front of him, still full of doubts in his heart.

What the hell is the Covenant doing?

It’s no wonder that Commander Hood is so vigilant. You must know that this is the mother planet and home of mankind. If the Star Alliance really finds out that this is the mother planet of mankind, according to Commander Hood’s idea, they will definitely attack in a large scale. At least they will not.

It is impossible for hundreds of warships to come.

But... this time the Star Alliance brought a few battleships and came to stir up trouble. What does this mean?

This is like a decisive battle. Logically speaking, both sides should gather all their armies and then fight to the death. As a result, their elites are exhausted, and a reconnaissance team appears on the opposite side——Does the Star Alliance also know how to play the empty city strategy?

It is precisely because of this that Commander Hood did not immediately send the guardian fleet to attack. He was afraid that this was some kind of trap by the Covenant and wanted to lure the guardian fleet away from the home star.

But the Inquisition's fleet...well, there shouldn't be any need to worry about this problem.

Although Commander Hood suspected that this was some kind of conspiracy by the Covenant, in fact, the Covenant fleet was also confused at this moment.

"Is this planet actually occupied by humans?"

Looking at the large army in front of him and the tightly sealed protective net, the Sorrowful Prophet on the flagship was also quite surprised.

In fact, the reason why this Covenant fleet came here was not for a decisive battle as Commander Hood thought. On the contrary, they were just looking for something!

This starts with the Prophet of Sorrow. As one of the supreme rulers of the Star Alliance, the Prophet of Sorrow not long ago got a clue about the halo and the place where the halo was created - the Ark. At the same time, it also

After obtaining the location of a device, according to the information left by the forerunners, as long as the device is activated, the portal to the Ark can be opened, and as long as it goes to the Ark, the Covenant can activate the halo and start a pilgrimage.

Also according to this information record, the device that opened the portal was located on a planet called Ed Trini. Therefore, in order to grab credit, the Prophet of Sorrow did not notify the other two people, but led his own sacred devotion fleet to go there alone.

That planet tried to open the equipment by itself, activate the portal, and reach the Ark to start a pilgrimage.

However, what a coincidence is that this Ed-Trinni planet is the home planet of the UNSC...

Good guy, if you don't want to fight now, you have to fight.

"Attack! Take this planet! We must find the sacred artifact of the great pioneer!!"

If there was a choice, the Prophet of Sorrow would not be willing to attack a planet occupied by humans and well-defended under such circumstances. However, when he thought that the great holy object leading to the Ark was on this planet, in the end, the greedy

Desire still gained the upper hand. So, the Prophet of Sorrow gritted his teeth and immediately issued the order.

“——————!!!”

However, just as its voice fell, as if it was responding to the order of the Prophet of Sorrow, flashes of fire suddenly appeared. In the blink of an eye, the Prophet of Sorrow saw several Covenant warships next to it explode directly and turned into objects in the universe.

of dust.

"What's going on? What happened?!"

This scene also frightened the Prophet of Sorrow. Could it be that he had been ambushed by humans?

"We were attacked! It was the one from Reach————!!!"

But that's it.

A torrent of green plasma burst out, hitting the flagship where the Prophet of Sorrow was located. The Covenant's protective cover only supported for a second before completely collapsing. Along with the high-temperature energy beam, it melted the armor, penetrated the ship's body, and then roared in.

The huge macro-cannon shells were like lead balls hitting porcelain, easily smashing the Covenant warship in front of them to pieces. With the explosion and fire, the next moment, the Prophet of Sorrow and its warship turned into sparkling stars in the starry sky.

dust.

"...The Covenant fleet has been annihilated, and there is no abnormal reaction."

“…………What on earth is this fleet here for??”

Looking at the Covenant fleet that had been completely annihilated on the screen, Commander Hood was confused. He originally thought it was a conspiracy of the Covenant, but until the entire fleet was killed by the Inquisition, the Covenant did not respond————

Did they send a fleet to die on purpose?

but……………

"The power of the Tribunal is truly terrifying..."

Recalling the scene he saw just now, Commander Hood was quite emotional. He only saw the huge Inquisition fleet suddenly disappearing silently like a ghost, and then appeared on the side of the Covenant fleet.

Then a direct salvo completely penetrated the entire Covenant fleet... Such firepower is unthinkable for the UNSC.

It was absolutely impossible for the UNSC fleet to completely wipe out a Covenant fleet in such a short period of time. Even if the number was twice that of the opponent, it would be impossible.

Just when Commander Hood was filled with emotion, another report soon came.

"Communication request from the Inquisition."
