"Send the 5th, 30th, and Thirty-first Fleet to Bountiful Star immediately for support."
"Yes."
After giving this order, William asked again, "Can I contact Bountiful Star now?"
Serena shook his head slightly and said, "No, all means of communication have failed."
"Mad..." William cursed in a low voice.
Then he got up and left the office chair, opened the door, came to the living room, and raised his voice and said:
"Everyone, the planned dinner party is canceled today because we have a war to fight."
?!
Originally, everyone was talking and laughing in the living room, but they were all stunned after hearing William's words.
"Boy, war? With whom?" Andre was the first to speak.
"An alien alliance that has the technology and capabilities to build a large number of warships and a population much larger than ours." William said in a deep voice.
Now.
Time: September 21, 10:59.
Location: 0.5 ETM away from the surface of Bountiful Star.
Bountiful Star's only Paris-class Frigate and the Observer are anchored here, preparing to intercept the Covenant warship that is heading towards Bountiful Star at full speed.
Inside the hangar.
Ground crews use Engineering Power Armor, forklifts and transport trucks to load ammunition for Viking Fighter, F-X modified, and Assault MS.
And the only two attack aircraft of the frigate, one is installing an air combat backpack, preparing to assist Viking Fighter and F-X modifications in dealing with the Covenant carrier-based aircraft.
The other one is installing artillery equipment, preparing to assist the Observer in launching fire strikes against the Covenant warships.
on deck.
All Marine Corps members and Helljumpers also use Individual Equipment and Mechanical Skeleton to assist ground crews in transporting weapons and ammunition.
The Astartess led by Gabriel are checking their weapons and Power Armor to prepare for the best combat status.
Thirty Blood Ravens and Power Armor are all Ceramite Armor, and none of the company captains Gabriel are Terminator Armour.
After all, the Terminator Armour is expensive and only equipped with three Astartes Legion. The Astartes in the colonial garrison has no right to equip the Terminator.
Fortunately, Bountiful Star's Astartes has thirty people, and Serena has also equipped the Observer with two Falcons. Otherwise, all the ground troops of Bountiful Star may not be able to be used.
"Beep---! Beep---!"
Suddenly, red lights flashed in the hangar and a harsh reminder sounded.
Seeing this, Gabriel didn't talk nonsense, but waved his hand and said loudly:
"Brothers! It's time to make contributions and protect mankind!
Let other brothers and cousins see that we Blood Ravens are not only interested in knowledge, we are also first-rate in combat!"
"Yes! Sergeant!"
"Ugh!!"
"Kill those alien heretics!"
What responded to Gabriel was the metallic war cry of all Blood Ravens.
The war cry resounded throughout the hangar, even covering up the harsh reminder bell.
And everyone in the hangar was also infected by the Blood Ravens's battle cry. They were no longer so confused and afraid, but full of fighting spirit.
"Let's go!"
After roaring, Gabriel and fourteen Blood Ravens boarded the Falcon in the center of the deck.
The other fifteen Blood Ravens also followed Gabriel and boarded another Falcon.
At the same time, the pilots and drivers of each fighter plane and MS also entered their respective fighters and MS with the assistance of ground crew.
Now, all we have to do is wait for the captain Macha to give the order.
It takes less than ten seconds.
On the communication channel using the battleship as the signal base station, the command Macha came:
"All combat carrier-based aircraft and mobile suits were dispatched immediately, preparing to work with our ship to attract the opponent's firepower, creating an opportunity for the sergeant Boarding combat.
Also, please all Helljumpers enter their respective Drop Pod, and Marine Corps enter the Pelican to be on standby and prepare for any possible situation.
On September 21, 2026 of Atlantic Time, at 1103 hours, the garrison of Bountiful Star officially fought with Alien Forces.
Attack!"
As Macha finished speaking, the ground crew in the hangar also put on their breathing masks.
Immediately afterwards.
The bright lights in the hangar turned to dark red and the pressure was reduced.
Decompression completed.
The two air valves at the bottom of the hangar were opened, and the mechanical arm installed on the top of the hangar first transported two MSs for release.
Viking Fighter and F-X modification also started Hydrogen Engine. Under the guidance of the ground crew holding light sticks, they followed the two Assault MS out of the hangar.
Finally, there is the Falcon carrying thirty Blood Ravens.
When all the carrier-based aircraft that need to be dispatched leave the hangar, the air valve at the bottom of the hangar is quickly closed and pressurized.
Outside the ship.
Viewed from the rear of the Observer.
You can see that after the gun mount Assault MS flew out of the hangar, it went straight to the top of the ship and was magnetically attached to the top of the ship.
The empty Assault MS, ten Viking Fighter, and six F-X modifications were flying parallel to the left side of the Observer.
As for the Falcon carrying Blood Ravens, it was behind the formation of carrier-based aircraft, waiting for an opportunity to execute Boarding combat.
In front of the Observer...
You can see three Star Alliance CCS-class Cruiser ships that are nearly two kilometers long, have a round exterior, and are painted in a silvery purple color.
In front of three Covenant cruisers, there is only one the Observer, which looks even more weak and will be destroyed by the opponent at any time.
Moreover, the three cruisers had no intention of stopping and sailed straight towards Bountiful Star, not caring about the Observer blocking the route.
Commander Sangheili, who leads these three cruisers, is the alien who sent the video warning to the Observer before.
It seemed that the commander didn't pay attention to the human troops at all.
If William had seen that video, Sangheili would definitely call it 'elite'.
Sangheili people are called elites by humans in "Halo". As the name suggests, their combat capabilities and weapons and equipment represent the top existence of the Covenant.
Without using weapons and Power Armor, just fighting with bare hands, a young elite can completely defeat more than a dozen human soldiers, or several Helljumpers elites.
During the Human-Covenant War in "Halo", human casualties mainly came from the Sangheili people, so they were called elites.
It was at this time.
A cruiser on the left side of Covenant Fleet suddenly opened fire on the Observer, firing several Plasma Cannon bombs that emitted purple light.
However, the slow-shooting Plasma Cannon was easily dodged by the highly maneuverable the Observer, and a blue energy-charged light appeared on the bow of the Observer.
Phew~--!
Buzz~--!
Electromagnetic Accelerator Cannon's 30-ton Tungsten projectile immediately came out of its barrel and hit the opponent's cruiser's Energy Shield, but did not penetrate the opponent's Energy Shield that emitted a light pink light.
Phew-!
Buzz~!
Simultaneously, the gun mount Assault MS standing on the Observer also controlled the large-caliber Gauss Cannon to shoot at the hit cruiser.
But Gauss Cannon's big Caliber Spike Rounds still failed to penetrate the opponent's shield.
At this point, Bountiful Star's only combat power officially engaged the three CCS-class Cruiser fleets of the Star Alliance.
