Chapter 240: Arcadia Ruins! Infiltrate! Suppress the rebellion!

Three hours later, on the surface of Arcadia.

As the capital of this colony, Pierce City far exceeds Odgate City, the capital of the planet of Harvest, in terms of both the number of people and the size of the city.

The urban buildings and dense rail transit system here are comparable to the Earth in 003 "Edge of Tomorrow" of the Universal Corporation.

However, the number of maglev flying boats or emergency aircraft on the streets is much less than that of any important city of the giant corporation.

Obviously, due to the influence of the rebels in various colonies, the UNSC is also tightening its belt and reducing the ground security forces of many colonies.

At this moment, Rita and other members of the combat team have moved into a luxury hotel near the coast under the arrangement of customs personnel.

David and other Astartes warriors were able to escape under Rita's arrangement and entered the secret residence prepared in advance.

Not long after, after Rita and her group moved into the hotel room, they immediately conducted a series of analysis and summary of the current situation.

First of all, the planet they came to, Arcadia.

This planet was officially colonized by the UEG in 2429, and it has rich mineral resources and a natural environment suitable for human habitation.

Although the planet has been colonized by humans for nearly a hundred years, there are still a large number of primeval forest areas that have not been explored.

The Shield World Coordinate Relic Point that Rita and others need to find is most likely in that primeval forest that has not been opened up.

At this time, Rita turned on the tactical terminal device, projected the holographic screen, and marked it on the map above, saying:

"According to the location information provided by AI Loki, the Shield World Coordinate Point Relic Point we want to explore is probably here."

"But the problem now is that I am worried that there are also people from the UNSC Naval Intelligence Agency (ONI) conducting reconnaissance there."

"After all, the humans here have colonized Arcadia for so many years. I don't believe that they don't know anything about the relics at all."

"But they don't know the information about the relic points on the Harvest Planet, so it is highly likely that they haven't cracked the coordinates of the Shield World."

Rita's speculation is well-founded, and her ideas are also supported by most members.

"Everyone, when I came here just now, I found that there are many surveillance cameras on the street. I think there are also intelligent AIs like Loki here."

Then, William Cage also made a timely supplementary explanation, "We definitely can't go out at the same time and meet with Chief David and the others."

"Otherwise, it's easy to expose ourselves!"

Cage's words made Rita nod thoughtfully. This guy's brain is quite flexible.

But in this case, they can't follow David to sneak into the local ruins and crack the coordinate system information of the shield world.

"Unless the intelligent AI here is turned against, there is no hope."

Cage shook his head helplessly and said.

The reason why they were able to take over the Harvest Star without bloodshed was mainly due to the technical support provided by the commandos and rear troops.

Break through the local governor who controls the matrix to control the intelligent AI, and cooperate with the soldiers of the large army to control the ports and ground towns in the low-Earth orbit at the same time.

Unfortunately, now, their isolated combat team has neither the logistics provided by the giant enterprise nor the support of the intelligence department and the technical department.

It is undoubtedly difficult to completely avoid the surveillance of Arcadia's intelligent AI and go to the Governor's City Hall or ONI's research institute!

"This operation is a bit troublesome."

Rita pursed her lips tightly, and her brows couldn't help but frown.

The fact is just as Cage said, the reason why their previous operations were so smooth was mainly due to the various help provided by the giant enterprise.

But now there are only a dozen of them, and with the weapons in their hands, they can't do anything big.

If it is a single fight, then this group of well-trained soldiers with many combat experiences are not worried about the soldiers here.

But war is fought by the majority bullying the minority, not to mention that there is a Paris-class heavy frigate parked on the orbital space station on the planet Arcadia.

With such a big killer, their few people are not enough for others to bombard.

According to the data provided by AI Loki, the Paris-class frigate is 560 meters long, with an electromagnetic rail accelerator gun over 100 meters long and 12 vertical missile launch nests.

Although the frigate is not as good as many starships under the Universal Corporation, this is their home ground after all, and they don't even have a starship behind them.

If the matter really gets out of hand and alarms the UNSC, it will be troublesome.

Because the UNSC has more than a thousand Paris-class heavy frigates, and hundreds of cruisers, destroyers and aircraft carriers of various types.

As an interstellar civilization with 800 colonies, the humans in "Halo" are not really bad, especially when dealing with local rebels.

That's really like a father beating his son.

Facing the main fleet and powerful manufacturing capabilities of the UNSC, the rebels without a base are completely incompetent bandits.

The reason why this group of rebels can tie up the energy of UNSC is that there are too many of them, and UNSC does not want to kill people, and basically focuses on maintaining stability.

And for a force like this with a large rear base, industrial zone, and fleets, once a full-scale war breaks out, even if the Universal Corporation wins, it will have to pay a lot of price.

Moreover, the forces in this universe are not only human civilization, but also other alien civilizations. Fighting with UNSC is purely internal consumption.

In the end, the Star Alliance got the advantage for nothing.

Just when Rita and Cage fell into a state of confusion and waited for the order of Captain David, the long-silent communication device finally had new information.

That message was sent by David Martinez.

It turned out that after David successfully led the team to escape and came to the place prepared by AI Loki in advance, he immediately led the team into the primeval forest.

With the help of the navigation provided by the power armor, they have successfully arrived at the secret facility base of ONI, which is the front line of their excavation of the ruins of Arcadia!

[You continue to stay where you are, wait patiently, don't alert the enemy, and wait for the next order. ]

"Yes!"

...

At the same time, David, who was far away in the primeval forest, was heading towards the ONI base with the map coordinates prepared in advance by AI Loki.

During the rapid attack, this Astartes "tin can" warriors also encountered some strange and poisonous reptiles and various colorful beasts.

However, facing this group of humanoid creatures of unknown origin, the native creatures on the planet were very afraid and took the initiative to give way to David and others.

Therefore, David and other Astartes warriors were almost unimpeded throughout the journey and went straight to the outskirts of ONI's research institute base.

Before arriving at the base, David also found a lot of military camps and a large number of sentries nearby.

Obviously, this is most likely a relic site!

Immediately, David slowed down and led the team to a higher position to bend down and sneak. After reaching the edge, he lay on the ground in an open area to observe the front.

In the open area ahead, there was a pyramid-like ruins building, and modern military bases and research centers were also surrounding the ruins.

"Very good! Everyone, we are in the right place this time."

David used the communication equipment of the tactical helmet to convey his inner joy to the soldiers around him.

At first glance, the pyramid ruins in front of them looked like the pharaoh tomb building of the Egyptian civilization, but there were some differences in the details.

But it was also possible. According to the information from the headquarters, David, who had already sorted out the relationship between pioneers, forerunners and ancient humans, knew that 004 humans and forerunners were species of the same blood.

Then, David turned his attention to the ONI secret facility not far away. The overall scale here was not very large, and a black airship was parked on the vertical take-off and landing platform.

Near the facility, there were fixed turrets and detection devices, as well as an ONI special force on guard patrol.

After carefully looking at the individual equipment and weapons of the ONI special forces, David had a general understanding of the enemy's level.

Their weapons are similar to those of the ordinary security forces of the Universal Corporation, but they are far inferior to the conventional configuration of the Astartes.

After David waited patiently for a while, he saw the special forces patrolling to the other side, and he immediately led the team to rush out to the location of the facility.

At the same time, David also used the most advanced ICE intrusion protocol to try to block the nearby reconnaissance devices and turret equipment for a period of time.

As an outstanding graduate of the Arasaka United Academy, David still knows a little about hacking skills, although he can't crack things like smart AI.

But he can still do it with ordinary turrets and monitoring equipment.

After a while, the Astartes warriors came to the vicinity of the facility and stared at a special force more than ten meters in front of them.

With David's order, the warriors immediately rushed out at a rapid speed and broke the necks of all the soldiers in front of them silently.

Accompanied by a few muffled groans, the soldiers of this unit only saw a vague figure, and then they were completely silent and fell to the ground dead on the spot.

"Well done!"

David praised the quick-moving warriors under his command, and then walked into the interior of the research facility with his men.

Just as David completed the stealth mission and copied all the research data of ONI to the headquarters database, the ideal city far away in another main universe also entered a state of preparation for war.

Through the huge star gate with a length and width of 10,000 meters, the engineering department is continuously transporting various fleets and armored forces to the front-line base of the Harvest Star.

So far, the Universal Corporation has pulled 10 Infinity Arrays, a Long Night, and hundreds of cruisers to the Harvest Star.

And a series of defense systems have been deployed in the orbit of the Harvest Star.

In addition, the engineering department is also preparing to fully transform the space elevator and space station of the Harvest Star, and set up a second dockyard in the low-Earth orbit to speed up the progress of shipbuilding.

At the same time, the Engineering Department and the Scientific Research Department, with the help of the intelligent AI Loki, have begun to build the UNSC's Paris-class heavy frigate and the Valiant-class super-heavy cruiser.

Since the 004 "Halo" universe urgently needs a large number of new troops to enter, the various departments of the Universal Corporation are actively deploying the garrisons of various worlds to enter the opposite side of the star gate.

With the current size of the giant company's forces, there is no need to recruit additional troops and recruit members of the troops. It only needs to make reasonable personnel deployment in various departments.

At this moment, in the Wanjie base.

"Please ask the members of the Third Army from the 002 "Pacific Rim" universe to go to platforms 33 and 34 and take the maglev train to the front-line base of the 004 universe to wait for orders."

"Please pay attention to the ground crew. Transport boat No. 39 is about to take off and enter the star gate. Please be prepared."

"..."

As more and more worlds are opened, the Wanjie headquarters base of the Universal Corporation has also been expanded several times, and orderly broadcast reminders are constantly ringing in this base.

Those stations for maglev trains to park are gathering a large number of combat members of the market development department.

They each go to the designated area or different universes according to the orders of their superiors.

At this time, on the central console of the headquarters of the Myriad Worlds Base, Leon was talking to Governor V in the 003 "Edge of Tomorrow" universe through a superluminal communication device.

[Boss, I have sent combat troops to the combat star field. Don't worry, I won't let those heretics destroy our trade lines. ]

V, wearing a giant enterprise uniform, was standing in the central console of the War Moon megastructure, talking to Leon through a superluminal communication device.

Not long ago, what Leon was worried about happened.

An accident happened in the 003 "Edge of Tomorrow" universe.

A member of the civilization ally of the Universal Trade Circle was rebelled by his own powerful minister and died tragically in the attack of the other party.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with the giant enterprise, but the bad thing was that these self-destructive rebels actually set their sights on the giant enterprise's trade routes.

They launched a robbery on the trade goods of the giant enterprise and publicly stated that they would unite other civilizations to resist the Universal Giant Enterprise.

Now, what V has to do is to kill that ungrateful thing as soon as possible, support new puppet members, and restore the trade route.

"Okay."

Leon nodded. Seeing that V was prepared, he didn't say anything more.

"V, I can't get away for the time being. I have to keep an eye on the 004 universe. I'll leave all your matters to you."

"Report to me as soon as possible if there is any situation."

[Yes, with me here, there will be no problems in the 003 universe. ]

V said to Leon with a serious expression.

"Well."

After Leon responded, he took the initiative to hang up the conversation, and the center console screen on V's side also returned to normal.

At this time, V walked to the other side of the center console and sat on the custom-made seat that could support his huge body.

Then he used the power armor to call up several holographic screens and continued to browse the real-time news of various parties.

In the 003 "Edge of Tomorrow" universe that he is responsible for, there have been many messy rebellions and crossfire incidents recently.

The giant corporations of the universe have forcibly brought the already discovered civilization forces into the trade circle by means of peaceful wealth and powerful military force.

But even so, there are still some clowns who insist on committing crimes against the wind, taking advantage of the gap when Leon is on the expedition to the 004 universe to run out and make trouble.

Obviously, they are provoking, and they are questioning the authority and ability of V, the interstellar governor!
