Summoning Mercenaries

The Gamma-Six galaxy is centered on a star that is five billion years old and "in its prime".

There are a total of seven planets, the first three are terrestrial planets, and the last four are giant gaseous planets.

Among them, the third terrestrial planet, Gamma III, is in the habitable zone, and its mass is that of the Earth, and its size is similar to that of the Earth.

Viewed from a distance, Gamma-3's atmosphere exudes a faint green light, and there are blue oceans and earth-colored land. It seems that Gamma-3 has a beauty and temperament that is not inferior to that of the earth.

However, above Gamma 3's atmosphere, there are hundreds of warships fighting each other.

When it explodes, it produces colorful flares, which are even more coquettish with the emerald green gamma three.

It's just that there is no sound transmission in a vacuum, and the explosion sound when the battleship is destroyed is completely buried, as if it died silently.

Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of human and Covenant corpses are floating in this area.

Humans and the Covenant have the same number of warships, which means that the current human beings are at a complete disadvantage, but the human fleet is still sticking to the sky above Gamma 3, as if waiting for something.

And behind the Covenant fleet, there is a giant artificial celestial body, about 350 kilometers in diameter, in the shape of a purple mushroom.

This is the "capital" of the Star Alliance, the city of fraternity.

It seems that the leaders of the Star Alliance thought that the operation of the partial division fleet was going well, so even the city of fraternity came here, as if to witness the destruction of the human fleet.

On the human fleet side, there is also a giant castle-like battleship, which is the flagship of Arcturus Mengsk.

Inside the flagship bridge;

"How long will it take for McFarlane's fleet to arrive?"

Arcturus sat on the throne, looked down at a group of generals in gorgeous armor and asked.

"My lord." At this time, a young general bowed slightly to salute, and said to Arcturus: "Major General Fran reported that they had set off half a day ago, and according to calculations, they should arrive soon. "

"Hmm." Hearing this, Arcturus finally looked better, and then looked at Horus standing beside him and asked:

"Horus, how many Astartes are there on the flagship?"

"Return to my lord." Horus also saluted Arcturus, and said in a deep voice: "Since the Imperial Fist (Astarte Legion) came to the frontal battlefield, it has suffered heavy damage.

There are a thousand Astartes on the planet Gamma as bait, making the Covenant mistakenly believe that all Astartes are on the surface of the planet.

The flagship has 100 Astartes guards who have already been replenished, and the Astartes have 366 people. "

"Hmm..." Hearing what Horus said, Arcturus' complexion sank again, and he said, "This war between humans and the Star Alliance is thanks to you Astartes.

It's just that it has dropped sharply from the 3,000 people who were full before to less than 1,500 people now... Hey...

Horus, when the war is over, choose four thousand gifted children, preferably from the families of military officers, to supplement the loss of the Imperial Fist. "

"Yes, my lord." Hearing that the Astartes were going to expand their troops, Horus was of course happy.

"Okay." Arcturos waved his hand, stood up and walked to the sand table on the lower deck of the bridge, looking at the projected two fleets with his hands behind his back.

After a while, he said in a deep voice, "That big purple mushroom, according to intelligence, is the capital of the Star Alliance, the City of Fraternity?"

"Father." At this time, Valerian, who was standing among the officers, stepped forward and explained for Arcturus:

"That's right, it seems that because the high-level of the Star Alliance thinks that the rear of us humans has fallen, so they let their mobile capital come to the front battlefield,

Come witness the moment of our human fall.

And in order to defeat our main fleet in one fell swoop, the Star Alliance gathered fleets from various star fields together, preparing to completely defeat us. "

"Hmph!" After hearing Valerian's explanation, Arcturus snorted coldly, shook the cloak behind him with a wave of his hand and said contemptuously:

"I don't know who witnessed whose fall. Since they dared to march the capital to the battlefield, let's prepare for the moment for them to be buried together."

Then Arcturus looked at Horus and said in a deep voice: "Horus, when the mercenary fleet led by McFarlane arrived at the rear of the Covenant fleet to attract attention...

Assault all Astartes on the flagship, go to the city of fraternity and take it in one fell swoop! "

"Yes, my lord." Hearing this, Horus nodded.

Although the size of the city of fraternity can accommodate tens of millions or even billions of Star Alliance, whether it is Arcturus and Horus, or a group of officers and Valerian, they all think that hundreds of Argentines Stat is more than adequate.

"Father." At this time, Valerian also stepped forward and asked Arcturus:

"The rangers under my command also have advanced power armor. Let us also assist Commander Horus and attack the City of Fraternity together."

"..." Arcturus did not agree immediately, but stared at Valerian, nodded after a long time and said, "Okay, since you want to fight for the empire, I have no objection."

"Father." Valerian didn't back down when he saw Arcturus' sharp gaze, and said to meet his gaze, "It's for human beings."

Seeing that the emperor and his son began to confront each other again, all the officers also looked at each other in blank dismay.

However, in the past few months when the main force fought against the Covenant, the rebel army led by Valerian lost more and won more, and it also helped the Imperial Army a lot.

Therefore, among the low-level officers of the Imperial Army, and even some middle and high-level officers, Valerian is much more popular than Arcturus.

"Ha ha!"

However, Arcturus was not furious when he saw that his son was against him. Instead, he laughed and said:

"It's up to you, as long as you can take down the city of fraternity, whatever reward you want, the Emperor will satisfy you!"

During the months of fighting together, Arcturus also admired Valerian. At first he thought he was a bloodless waste son, but unexpectedly he has developed even better than him.

"Thank you father, but fighting for human beings is the right thing to do, I don't expect anything extravagant."

After Valerian saluted Arcturus, he walked out of the bridge and said, "It's almost time for Major General McFarlane to arrive, so I'm going to prepare."

"My lord." At this time, Horus also asked Arcturus for advice: "I also asked my brothers to prepare."

"Yeah." Arcturus nodded and said, "Go."

"Yes, my lord."

…

"My lord!"

Not long after Horus and Valerian left, a communications officer respectfully and loudly said to Arcturus: "Radar shows that seven CCS-class cruisers suddenly appeared behind the Covenant warships!

At the same time, we have also received the latest news about the mercenary fleet! "
