Chapter 416 Cross-Century Exchange
"What is that?"
Seeing the mecha in front of him being smashed into scrap metal, Li Longcheng was stunned. However, the scene that happened next shocked him even more.
After sensing that an enemy was attacking from behind, the Batarians immediately turned their guns and launched an attack on the huge dark figure. However, their attacks were fruitless. The fierce artillery fire that was enough to penetrate the vehicle did not leave any trace on the body of the dark giant. In turn, they only saw the opponent suddenly wave the warhammer in his hand, and the next moment, all he could see was what was in front of him. The Batarians were directly crushed to the ground by the whirlwind brought by the war hammer, turning into a puddle of meat like a frog crushed by a wheel.
Lie!
Seeing this, Li Longcheng couldn't even believe his eyes. Although these Batarians seemed defenseless, in fact they were all equipped with small shield generators. This shield can even withstand some large rocket attacks. However, the opponent just swung his hammer and actually broke through the shields of these Batarians and killed them completely instantly?
"Boom——!"
Just as the dark giant wiped out all the Batarians around him with one hammer, another automatic mecha turned and pounced on him. However, the jet-black giant didn't even look at it. He swung out with a backhand hammer, giving the automatic mecha a home run, knocking it completely away, and then disintegrated in the air and turned into a pile of fragments.
“……………………”
Seeing this, everyone, including Li Longcheng, was stunned.
They have also dealt with Turians. In fact, whether it is human civilization or alien civilization here, they basically have two layers of protection, with a small shield on the outside and armor on the inside. Because of this, when both sides fight, they usually have to find a way to break the shield first, then the armor, and finally kill them.
In addition, the shield will be restored, so it will be very difficult to fight. Many times there will be situations where you can’t kill me and I can’t kill you.
This is also the reason why Li Longcheng and his men were able to withstand the attack of the Batarians who were many times their number.
Even those automatic mechas are equipped with shields. However, these shields are as useless as paper in front of this dark giant. Li Longcheng even saw that when the pitch black giant's war hammer blasted out, the shield outside the automatic mecha shattered directly and disappeared without even being supported for a millisecond.
It's almost like a dream!
But...why do I always feel that this dark giant looks a bit familiar?
At this moment, the battle ended completely. With the last group of Batarians being killed, peace returned to the place. The dark giant also put away his war hammer and turned around to stare at them. Seeing this, others subconsciously clenched their weapons.
"Ah...Ahhh..."
Just when Li Longcheng was about to stand up and say something, Dr. Herman, who was handcuffed next to him, suddenly brightened up, shouted and rushed over, and was hurriedly caught by Li Longcheng.
"Wait, what are you going to do?"
"It's the same! It's the same as what we saw before!!"
"Huh?"
Hearing Dr. Herman's words, Li Longcheng was suddenly startled, and then looked at the beacon in surprise. He finally understood why Dr. Herman was so excited!
The reason is very simple, that is, the dark giant that appeared in front of them wore similar armor to the blue warriors who appeared in the beacon projection before!
He also has a tall stature, thick armor decorated with skulls, and a very similar appearance. It's just that the one that appears in the projection is painted in blue, while the giant in front of him is painted in black.
"Don't fire, put down your weapons!!"
At this moment, Li Longcheng also hurriedly asked others around him to put down their weapons. Then he stood up, stared at the giant in front of him, took a deep breath, and walked towards him.
So high......!
Although he had already felt that the other party was very tall before, when Li Longcheng walked in front of the dark giant, he realized that he had only reached the other party's waist. You must know that Li Longcheng was a soldier and was quite tall. He was eight years old, but in front of this giant, he felt like a child.
"Hello, I am Star Alliance General Li Longcheng. May I ask..."
Hearing Li Longcheng's inquiry, the dark giant was silent for a moment, then took off his helmet, revealing a...
“Hiss——!”
Looking at the face in front of him, even Li Longcheng took a breath and almost collapsed to the ground.
As a soldier, he has seen many aliens, but...he has never seen a human that looks so fierce!
"Hello, I am Duan Muhuai, the Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition."
Staring at Li Longcheng in front of him, Duanmu Huai chuckled. Although the latter was trembling a little, he still stared at Duanmu Huai.
"Excuse me, what is this..."
"I know what you want to ask."
Duanmuhuai waved his hand, interrupting Li Longcheng's speech.
"Yes, we came here with you on purpose, and we had already guessed that you would be attacked. The reason why we came here is to thwart the plans of those idiots, because for us, you are more important than living alive. Better to be dead.”
"Huh..."
Hearing this, Li Longcheng breathed a sigh of relief. He had doubted how these people appeared so coincidentally at first, but he didn't expect that the other party was very straightforward...but...the Tribunal? What organization is this?
"My fleet..."
"Your fleet has been led away and will not come back for at least another hour." Duanmuhuai glanced around, then found a place to sit down.
"So, let's have a good talk."
“…………Of course there is no problem.”
In fact, this was Li Longcheng's idea, so he immediately cheered up, asked others to guard the surroundings, and then sat across from Duanmu Huai. At this moment, Dr. Herman also came over and stared at him with enthusiasm... I have to say that it was quite uncomfortable for Duanmu Huai to be stared at by a man like this.
"This is...?"
"Dr. Hermann, he is a scholar who studies ancient ruins..."
"Oh, okay..."
Duanmuhuai retracted his gaze and looked at Li Longcheng again.
"I know you have many things you want to ask, but before that, I would like to introduce you to the situation of the Tribunal."
This was already familiar to Duanmu Huai. He didn't even bother to talk anymore, just like he did to Maria before, he took out a holographic promotional video of the Tribunal and played it directly.
I have to say that this form is indeed very convenient, at least... After watching the entire promotional video, Li Longcheng already understood the origin of the Tribunal and the history of the former human empire... And Dr. Herman next to him, He was even more excited and trembling all over. If he hadn't been held down by the soldiers, he might have jumped up!
"…………So, what you mean is that we are the descendants of the human empire?"
"Well, one of them, or so far, you are the most developed among these human civilizations."
"Yeah..."
Hearing this, Li Longcheng also had a smile on his face. To be honest, when he learned that there was more than just his own human civilization in the universe, Li Longcheng was also very nervous, and now he heard Duanmu Huai say that Star Alliance is one of these human civilizations. Developing the best one... also made him relieved and very proud.
To be honest, although the whole story sounds very ridiculous, Li Longcheng is more inclined to believe that this is reality - after all, if it is true that humans once unified the entire galaxy, for the people of the Star Alliance, Naturally, it’s a big stimulus and benefit!
But…………
"Wait, wait, Lord Inquisitor! So what happened to the Protheans? The Protheans...!"
At this time, Dr. Hermann could no longer hold back and asked, but Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders.
"Oh, it's actually quite normal. After the collapse of the human empire, these guys took advantage of the vacuum period to take over those territories... Well, that's how the so-called monkeys without tigers in the mountains become kings."
Regarding the Protheans, players in the game also conducted research, and the final conclusion was that the Protheans were a vassal race from the Human Empire, and were under the jurisdiction of the Thirteenth Prince at that time. Later, after the Black Hole Project, all species in the galaxy suffered a devastating blow. Only the Protheans escaped, I don't know whether they were lucky or something. Later, they quickly took this opportunity to expand and occupied the human empire. most of the territory.
In the end, it turns out that aliens will always be aliens, and these idiots still screwed up and killed themselves.
Of course, Duanmu Huai has no inner feelings about this, or the Protheans should be glad that they became extinct early, otherwise they would definitely have a place on the list of the Inquisition now.
"Okay."
Duanmuhuai directly changed the topic and looked at Li Longcheng again.
"Now that you know the existence of our Tribunal, you should understand why we saved you."
"…………You hope that I can lead the Star Alliance to resist aliens?"
"That's right."
Duanmuhuai nodded.
"Any act of bending the knee to the alien race is an unforgivable heresy. The dignity and glory of human beings cannot be desecrated! No matter what excuse is used, the Inquisition will not admit this!"
"But...even we can't fight against the entire Citadel Council..."
"I know very well that the Tribunal will also work with you to fight together. There is no need to completely eliminate them, but we must also let them know that humans are not existences that these lowly aliens can manipulate at will!"
"………………!"
Li Longcheng did not speak, but nodded heavily. Although he was not as extreme as Duanmu Huai, Li Longcheng also agreed with Duanmu Huai's words in his heart.
Humanity will never succumb to the threat of any alien race!
"So, what do we do?"
"Haha."
Hearing Li Longcheng's inquiry, Duanmu Huai chuckled.
"I have a suggestion..."
