Chapter 286 Communication
"Seeing this fleet up close is really...unimaginable."
Looking at the huge battleship in front of him, Colonel Holland swallowed and suppressed his inner uneasiness. After that, the fleet stopped near Reach. The UNSC sent a contact, but only received a "face to face" reply. So as the supreme commander here, Colonel Holland had to take a transport boat to the giant battleship.
However, the closer he got, the more shocked and puzzled Holland became at the battleship in front of him.
According to general understanding, space battleships pay attention to simplicity. This is true for both UNSC battleships and Covenant battleships. Their appearance is very smooth and their shapes are very simple. It's just that the UNSC's technical strength is slightly worse, and the Covenant's technology is better.
However, the battleship in front of us looks like a giant mountain range suspended in space, with a gorgeous church sitting on it. The black holes on both sides of the solid city wall are shocking - this is not so much A battleship might as well be a flying church or monastery...
In any case, at least for now, the other party should belong to a civilization that can communicate, that is.........
Looking at the huge skull and warhammer logo on the side of the battleship, Colonel Holland felt somewhat uneasy.
After all...this sign doesn't look very peaceful.
Soon, the transport boat entered the interior of the huge battleship from the side, and then stopped on the apron. Colonel Holland straightened his clothes, and then walked out of the transport boat under the protection of two soldiers.
Then, Holander saw a long-haired girl wearing a maid's costume standing in front of him and bowed to him.
"Hello, guest, welcome to the Inquisition's flagship Pink Bunny."
"Uh.........what??"
Hearing this name, Colonel Holland was confused. Even his two guards were stunned for a moment, but the expression of the maid in front of him remained unchanged, and there was nothing rude about it.
"Your Majesty the Judge is waiting for you, please follow me."
After saying that, the maid turned and walked to the other side of the corridor, and Colonel Holland hurriedly followed.
Maybe... I just heard it wrong?
Putting his inner doubts behind his mind, Holander led two soldiers to follow behind the maid, walking forward while looking around curiously. In fact, even after entering the interior of this battleship, Holander's feeling did not change. Whether it was the magnificent patterns and decorations on the walls, or even the tall corridors and arc roofs, it felt more like he had walked into a building. A huge, majestic church, not a powerful battleship.
Especially walking along the long corridor, looking out at the starry sky through the windows on both sides, and looking at the layers of giant cannons below, it really made Holland wonder if he was really in a church.
Not long after, under the leadership of the maid, Colonel Holland and his party came to a door at the end of the corridor. Then, the door slowly opened, and the maid stood aside and made a greeting to the three of them. gesture. At this moment, Colonel Holland had no other choice but to bite the bullet and walk in.
However, what Colonel Holland didn't expect was that he had just walked into the hall and saw an extremely tall black figure standing not far ahead. He seemed to be two or three meters tall, with his whole body Wearing pitch-black armor, even his head is wrapped in a ferocious-looking helmet. , Not only that, the moment he saw him, Colonel Holland felt a sense of fear suddenly surge into his heart. It felt as if he was not facing a person, but a ferocious, bloody beast, as if If he wanted to, he could just pounce on him and bite him to death!
Even Colonel Holland's two soldiers were frightened and backed away. They instinctively tried to take out their weapons - but in vain. Fortunately, Colonel Holland finally regained consciousness at this time and hurriedly stopped the more reckless actions of his two subordinates. Then he stood up straight again, looked at the giant in front of him, and lowered his head.
"Hello, Your Excellency, I am Colonel Urban Holland, commander of the UNSC Third Special Operations Force. On behalf of the UNSC, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you and your fleet for your actions in protecting Reach. If not all of you With help, I am afraid that Reach has already fallen by now..."
"Hello, Colonel Holland."
At this moment, the black-armored giant also spoke.
"Welcome to the flagship of the Tribunal - the Pink Bunny."
“……………Uh……………”
Hearing this name and looking at the giant in front of him, Colonel Holland didn't know how to react.
"Sorry, I seem to have heard it wrong. The name of this battleship is...?"
"Pink Bunny."
Seeing Holander's embarrassed expression in front of him, Duanmuhuai repeated the name with a smile.
"Don't you think this name is cute?"
“…………It’s really cute.”
After confirming that he had heard correctly and that the other party had not made a mistake, Colonel Holland was speechless.
As everyone knows, Duanmu Huai, who is behind the helmet, is also staring at him with a meaningful smile.
The reason is very simple, that is, what Holland said is Mandarin with a Taiwanese accent!
The game is also very restored here.
Looking at Colonel Holland in front of him, Duanmuhuai recalled the situation that the players encountered when the game was released. When the players came to the UNSC, they found that everyone here spoke Mandarin. At that time, some players found it difficult to accept. After all, a group of foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes could speak Mandarin better than me. It was like dubbing movies. This was simply too unscientific!
And some players cheered for joy, claiming that they were back to their childhood - it turns out that this part of the star field had been released separately before, and when the overseas version was released, it also used Mandarin dubbing. It can be said that many players listened to Mandarin dubbing when they were young. Now that they hear the familiar dubbing, they just feel full of childhood memories...
Of course, it is quite funny to see it in reality... "As for thanking you, there is no need. The duty of the Tribunal is to protect mankind and destroy all existences that threaten mankind. This is our duty."
"Yes...yes..."
Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Colonel Holland didn't know what to say for a while. He originally thought that the other party should be some kind of alien race, but after hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Colonel Holland was a little confused. , it seems that this mysterious force calls itself the Tribunal. They fight to protect mankind and destroy the existence that threatens mankind. This was naturally a good thing for the UNSC, but he still didn't understand where this force came from.
Could it be internal rebels? It's not like that, even the UNSC doesn't have such powerful technology...
With doubts, Colonel Holland also talked with the other party again, trying to get more information, but Duanmuhuai did not tell much about the situation. He just talked to him about the situation of the Star Alliance, and then Holland The colonel said goodbye and left, returning to Reach. Although Duanmuhuai didn't say much, the information he revealed was enough for the UNSC to take it seriously.
After Colonel Holland left, others came out from behind.
"Mr. Knight, can't we really change our name?"
Looking at Duanmu Huai, Gu Leiya was the first to protest. To be honest, this name is really too shameful. She was embarrassed to say it, and she didn't know how Duanmu Huai could think of it like this in the first place. name.
"Hey? Gulea, I think this name is pretty good, isn't it cute?"
Unfortunately, Ann obviously has different opinions on this.
"However, this name does not match the big uncle's battleship at all..."
Xue Li also put forward her own opinions. To be honest, when she first learned that the battleship was called "Pink Bunny", her jaw dropped to the ground just like Colonel Holland. Even Xue Li couldn't figure out why Duanmu Huai gave his flagship such a name.
Doesn't it sound better?
"Stop talking, I won't change it."
Duanmuhuai waved his hand, interrupting the girls' protest.
"I want the enemy to remember the humiliation and fear of being destroyed by the pink bunny!"
“……………………”
Needless to say, it was indeed humiliating and terrifying.
Hearing this, the girls were speechless.
"Lord Knight, should we further cooperate with the UNSC?"
Lorena decisively gave up and continued to struggle with this issue. Of course, Duanmu Huai had given the group this name, and she had long been used to it.
Maybe the knight likes rabbits.
"Well, it depends on the other party's situation, but specifically, even if we cooperate, we won't cooperate for long."
"Why?"
"Because of the goals of the Inquisition."
Duanmu Huai shook his head and looked at everyone.
"You must remember that the goal of the Tribunal is to eliminate all existences that threaten humanity. Since the Covenant has threatened humanity and they have also launched an attack on humanity, the next thing the Tribunal will do is to destroy the Star Alliance. The Alliance will be completely eliminated, but the UNSC may not agree with our approach.”
"Why? Isn't this a good thing?"
Ann tilted her head.
"I thought the UNSC was happy to take advantage of us."
"The premise of use is that we are under his control, but in fact we are not under the control of the UNSC. Perhaps the UNSC will also consider relying on us to gain an advantage over the Covenant, and then propose a peace agreement--however, there is no such thing as a racial war There is no peace, either you die or I live. Therefore, even if the UNSC has the upper hand, the Inquisition will not cooperate with them, but will kill the Covenant."
"Is it really necessary to do this...big uncle?"
Hearing this, Xue Li couldn't bear it.
"Of course, if you cut the weeds without eradicating the roots, they will grow again with the spring breeze. I know this decision seems cruel, but this is the job of the Inquisition."
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai snorted softly.
"Now, it depends on how the UNSC chooses."
