After Hicks, Hudson and other officers Marine Corps left, only William, Halsey and Serena were left next to Central Control Console.
"Boss." Serena, who was standing behind William, asked with some expectation in his tone, "Aren't we going to take action?"
"Not yet." William looked at the holographic screen above Central Control Console and said softly with his hands behind his back:
"After John and the others confirm that the surface is safe, Engineering Team will say after establishing the ground base, and Serena, don't forget to put Kaisa on standby, we need her to purify the Flood."
"Yes."
Soon after.
Inside the hangar of the Star Killer flagship.
The military units with Energy Shield put on Individual Equipment or Power Armor from their respective equipment and equipment depots, and with the assistance of technicians, came to this huge hangar.
"Boom! Boom!"
At this time, four hundred Adeptus Custodes and Raven Guard Astartes, who were infected with Terminator Power Armor, swayed and walked to the side of the hangar with heavy steps.
The four hundred Terminator were led by the four Spartan Primarch headed by John.
Come to the designated location.
Stop.
Super Soldier, including Primarch, all opened their Power Armor's Energy Shield, and light yellow and emerald green light shined on this deck.
"Shua~--!"
In a flash, four hundred and four Super Soldier disappeared into the hangar and were instantly teleported to the surface of Craftworld.
"Hey!!!"
Seeing Super Soldier teleporting away, Hudson standing aside, wearing Marine Corps's school officer uniform, couldn't help but sigh heavily.
He also hooked up with Hicks, who was also wearing a school officer uniform, and said slightly sadly:
"Man, the current battles are all about Interstellar naval battle, how can we, Marine Corps, still be there...
Boarding combat is Master Chief and that group of Super Soldier, the airborne troops who snatched the landing zone, or those desperate paratroopers and fanatic sharks.
Even when it comes to containing anomalies, it's not our turn to show up. It's okay to create a Safe-level anomaly. Hey... it's so frustrating. It's okay to live like the fourth-class beasts we used to be..."
"Huh?" Hicks, who was already full of medals and just short of joining the rank of major general, couldn't help but ask with confusion after hearing Hudson's somewhat nonsensical emotion:
"Man, do you want to go back to the old days of Marine Corps? Did I hear you right? At that time, we had the worst preparations, but we were the first to enter the battlefield."
"You heard it right!" Hudson looked at the madly toothed sharks, Ghost Agent, and even the elites wearing blue, purple, and red armor, and said with shining eyes:
"Look, isn't our Marine Corps still the worst equipment? The worst is the worst, and the sense of presence has been reduced. It's frustrating..."
"Okay." Hicks shook his head helplessly and said:
"Didn't you get notified? The doctor has cracked the Energy Shield technology of the Star Alliance. In less than ten years, we will be able to equip the Marine Corps on our ships with personal shields. You are still complaining here."
Hudson turned around instantly and asked, "Really?"
"Really, you never pay attention to the company's emails." Hicks said helplessly.
"Hahaha, it's cool! It's so cool! Hundreds of thousands of Marine Corps with shields, tsk tsk, finally no longer a fourth-class person!! Haha!"
.
The deck area not far away.
"Colonel, those Marine Corps officers must be crazy. They cry and laugh sometimes."
Just look at a Ghost Agent wearing an enhanced version of Biochemical Power Armor, looking at Hicks and Hudson, and asking Prus in confusion.
"Hey." Prus, who was wearing a light white commander type Biochemical Power Armor, still glanced at the two guys with such cold eyes, and continued to walk towards the Pelican.
Said: "Maybe it's because the company wants to fully upgrade Marine Corps and Individual Equipment, so they are so happy, but if Marine Corps completes the equipment update... it must be outdated.
Okay, stop gossiping about other troops and get ready to board the plane."
"Yes, Colonel."
Craftworld surface.
It is located on the grassland four hundred kilometers north of the center.
There is green grass growing here that is just above the ankle height, and there are water droplets condensed by the fog on the grass blades. Combined with the artificial sun and the blue sky above the center of Craftworld, the scenery here looks pleasant.
"Wow~."
The gentle breeze makes the green grass sway, making you want to lie down on the lawn and fall asleep.
It seems that this place has not been contaminated by Flood Spore.
"Shua~--!"(x404)
At this moment, the Primarch and Terminator troops led by John successfully teleported to the surface of this area.
Most of them should be on the surface.
Because...
"Hey, Karl! Help me, I can't get out!"
Because Mylon was successfully teleported to the surface, with only its head exposed on the surface. Fortunately, Energy Shield was opened, otherwise Mylon might have been directly embedded in the surface.
"Hey... why do you always have problems? What can I say about you..." Karl complained in deep shame and said:
"Jump out on your own, I'm too lazy to help you."
"Eh! Eh? Don't go... sister! My biological sister!"
Karl ignored Mylon's shamelessness, and still unfolded the shield of pale yellow light, walked up to John who was observing the surroundings, and asked:
"How's it going? Is it clean here?"
"..." John did not answer, and was still around Vision, as if Power Armor was being used for scanning again.
A few seconds later.
Cortana replaced John and replied to Karl, "Based on my scans, I can confirm that this area is not contaminated by the Flood."
"Then you can notify Serena and ask her to send follow-up troops to land."
At this time, Kolax, who was wearing light black Primarch Power Armor, walked behind John and Karl and said the above sentence.
"Boom--~!" At the same time, Mylon was too lazy to play around and jumped out of the soil.
"Hmm." John looked at the artificial sun in the center of Craftworld, nodded lightly, and ordered to the three Primarch:
"Although there is no Flood here, it is only temporary. I need to set up defensive posts around here to ensure that the place is still clean before the follow-up troops arrive."
"Yes."(x3)
After receiving the order, the three Primarch led their subordinates to disperse and prepare to establish defensive posts.
Immediately afterwards.
John said quietly to Cortana: "Xiao Na, inform the boss that they can send Engineering Team and the follow-up troops, but for the sake of safety, apply for Angel Keisha to also come to the surface."
"Yes, Master Chief."
Next.
After confirming that the surface area was safe and clean, follow-up troops and Engineering Team also came to the surface and began to establish a surface base with Star Killer as a transit presence.
Twenty hours later.
The surface base was built by Engineering Team using special effects, and a high-power AT Energy Shield was installed to replace Kaisa's Bio-Shield.
