1832. Unprovoked attack

While Senluo and Reaper began to disassemble the host, Shepard left a message and language analysis package in the common language of the galaxy according to Duchy of Dawn's "Regulations on First Contact with Extraterrestrial Civilizations".

And she also stated in the message that she was suddenly attacked by the remaining combat robots, so she was forced to fight back, and she took away the host in order to understand the other party's civilization. To express her apology, she was willing to make compensation.

When Shepard left the recording there, Reaper sneered and said, "Does she still think that this can prevent conflicts? It's ridiculous. All our actions are not friendly actions."

"Properly showing off muscles can also allow us to win a higher position in the first contact." Senluo said.

"But what if the opponent is much stronger than us?" Reaper is very willing to argue with Senluo.

"Then let's have a fair fight!" Shepard had finished the message at this time and came over and said, "But you are right, this exploration is indeed not friendly. Perhaps when we discovered this outpost, we have already positioned them as enemies. But you must know that this is Unknown Regions. As the Grand Duke said, there are almost no friendly forces here."

Reaper said, "In that case, what do you mean by hypocritically telling them that you are willing to compensate?"

"Courtesy first, then attack." Shepard stroked his hair as he walked out.

"Ah no, I think you are fighting first and then saluting, and then you are probably still fighting..." Reaper said.

"You'd better shut up! Otherwise, I will help you." Senluo's tone darkened, and he was obviously unhappy with Reaper's repeated opposition to Shepard.

However, at this time, they suddenly received communications from Jeff-Moro, [Hey Captain, no matter what you are doing, I think you need to leave as soon as possible.]

Shepard frowned and asked, "Joker? What happened?"

During such covert operations, if Jeff-Moro took the initiative to contact us, something big must have happened.

[We detected the fluctuations of the hyperspace jump, and a spaceship is approaching. So I have to break the communication silence.]Jeff-Moro said.

"Let Normandy continue to remain invisible, and at the same time do a good job as Level 1 combat readiness!" Shepard said seriously, "I will be back soon! Can you detect the opponent's number?"

[I think... no.]Jeff-Moro said: [In Unknown Regions, there are hyperspace turbulence everywhere. Don't think that you can accurately judge the size of the opponent through the amplitude of the fluctuations like outside. Anyway, come back soon.]

Shepard said, "Okay, I will be back in 30 minutes."

After saying that, she immediately raised her wrist to operate Omni-tool, controlling their landing ship to fly over here.

"There are enemies!" Reaper looked up at the sky, "I can feel it."

On this asteroid, the concept of sky does not matter, because there is no atmosphere, and the endless universe is seen directly.

"He is right, it is murderous intent." Senluo said.

[no! It's too late! I first control the spacecraft to hide in the shadow of another asteroid!]Jeff-Moro said eagerly, [The whole ship is ready to engage the enemy! Calling Ashley Williams! Please come to the bridge to act as combat commander as soon as possible!]

His last words were spoken to the ship's internal communication. Because the situation was too urgent, he forgot to turn off the communication here.

At this moment, a burst of white light suddenly flashed in the universe! Immediately afterwards, three battleships escaped from the hyperspace jump and suddenly appeared!

The surrounding asteroids were pushed away by the waves generated when the battleship broke away, and a few of them hit the armor of the battleship and quickly fell apart. But then, a faint light blue barrier began to flash around the battleship, which bounced more asteroids around it!

The battleship deployed its energy shield at the same time as it broke away!

I only saw that these three spaceships were about 300 meters in length and belonged to the Light Cruiser level. Their shapes were very ferocious and terrifying. They were in the shape of a flat and rounded water bottle. The bow and sides of the ship had sharp spikes like crescents.

Shepard and the two Ghost Agent ran wildly, but on such an asteroid with such a small gravity, they couldn't run fast at all and could only jump forward one by one. It can jump more than ten meters in one go, but its take-off and landing speeds are very slow.

At this time, the three battleships had already begun to turn! Because the distance is very close, even on an asteroid, the movements of the three battleships can be seen with the naked eye! There is a ray of light condensing on the main gun on the bow of their ship!

"The main gun is charging! Use the jet thruster to move forward!" Shepard no longer cared about hiding at this time, and immediately turned on the small jet thruster on the back of the combat suit, speeding up and flying forward.

Meanwhile, the landing ship industry is fast approaching.

But at this moment, the three battleships had opened fire! The target is the outpost just now!

Three powerful lasers were fired from the front of the battleship, directly shining on the base building, causing a violent explosion almost immediately! The originally small outpost base was destroyed in an instant!

The landing ship has flown in front, and the hatch is open. At this moment, because the invisible shape was destroyed, there was no invisibility inside the hatch, and the overall invisibility effect of the spacecraft was in vain!

At this moment, the three warships also discovered the landing ship here! Without any hesitation, the other three turrets on the battleship began to turn! Fire Control Radar has been locked!

At this moment, another laser beam came instantly and swept over one of the battleships, causing the energy shield to ripple violently.

I only saw Normandy taking the initiative to escape from stealth, launching missiles at the three warships, and the laser cannon fired again!

[Go quickly!!] The voice of agent Commander Ashley Williams came from the communication.

Shepard didn't pause at all, and immediately controlled the landing ship and began to turn and accelerate. The three warships seemed to have spotted the landing ship, turning their turrets and firing fiercely! At the same time, the spacecraft is also turning, preparing to attack with the front main gun.

Shepard gritted his teeth and controlled the landing ship to continuously evade and avoid the lock of the enemy ship Fire Control Radar. Normandy was also firing continuously, and also took the initiative to fly over to provide cover.

Several more powerful lasers were fired at Normandy, and the energy shield sounded an alarm.

But in less than a minute, Shepard had already driven the landing ship and flew into the hatch opened by Normandy.

Rushing to the bridge quickly, Shepard only heard Jeff-Moro calling loudly, "Help! Help! We are under attack! There are three enemy Light Cruiser ships! Please reinforce as soon as possible!"

Ashley Williams and Kayden Alanco were both on the bridge, giving orders.

"How is the situation? Can you escape?" Shepard ran over and asked loudly.

"Can't run away! To enter the hyperspace jump, we need to perform calculations for at least ten minutes!" Jeff-Moro finished quickly and continued to call the communicator, "Help! Help!! Damn it! Why is there no response?!"

Shepard frowned, turned around and ran to the maintenance deck again, "Get ready for the landing ship, I'll fly out to attract their attention!"

"Are you crazy, Captain!?" Kaiden Alanco was shocked, "You were almost beaten down just now!"

However, at this moment, suddenly an extremely dazzling white light flashed in front! The light was so intense that even people looking out of the portholes were almost blinded by the flash!

Immediately afterwards, an extremely huge figure appeared in front of us!
