At 0915 hours on August 3, 2552 in the military calendar, the Pillar of Autumn, under the command of Captain Keyes, strictly implemented the Cole Protocol and finally returned to the outer reaches of the solar system after multiple random jumps to avoid tracking and route leaks.

Although Ana was very sure that the Earth's location had been exposed, Captain Keyes was still unwilling to expose the Earth's location because of the Pillar of Autumn's violation when he was sure that the Covenant had found the Earth.

I am about to enter ana and accompany the elite captain Kuhl Hilafor to enter the bridge of the Pillar of Autumn again. Later, when Captain Keyes reports to UNSC Commander Hood, the elite captain Kuhl Hilafor will represent

The elite expressed their goodwill to form an alliance with humanity. But when the Pillar of Autumn finally restored contact with the UNSC, it was met with bad news. A Covenant fleet broke into the Earth's defense line 18 hours ago. Although Commander Hood tried his best to

All the troops capable of fighting were summoned to resist tenaciously. The earth's defense line was still broken by the enemy 15 hours ago. But at this moment, the enemy's fleet suddenly broke into internal strife. A part of the fleet stopped attacking the earth. Commander Hood took the opportunity to summon the remaining soldiers and

The remaining enemy offensive forces started a melee. 10 hours ago, the enemy's Prophet of Sorrow made a space jump over the city of New Mombasa on Earth, and the city of New Mombasa was destroyed.

"Now we are basically in a stalemate with the attacking Covenant. After the Prophet of Sorrow disappeared, the Covenant's ground troops re-arranged their defense lines in the ruins of New Mombasa City. You picked a bad time to go home." Commander Hood used

Some of the battle videos briefly introduced the current situation of the earth and then summed it up. "Why did you return to the earth at this time? According to General Fremont's report, didn't you go to a Forerunner ruins called Special Area 04?" Hood said.

The commander then asked.

Captain Keyes reported to Commander Hood as quickly as possible about the Pillar of Autumn's trip to Area 04, and also mentioned the threats of Halo and the Flood, the existence of the Ark, and the alliance with the Covenant at the expense of the 343 Guides.

The decision of the elite to form an alliance.

"Then based on what you said, the fleet that stopped attacking the Earth but still stayed outside our strike range is probably the elite fleet that rebelled against the Prophet, and the ones currently fighting us are the forces loyal to the Prophet."

Commander Hood analyzed.

At this moment, the elite captain Kull Hilaford, who had been silent since entering the bridge and silently listened to Ana's selective translation of the conversation between Captain Case and Commander Hood, said, "The one you are fighting is

Jiralhanae troops who have just joined the Star Alliance but are loyal to the Prophet." Ana translated. "The Elite Council should have issued an order for a ceasefire between all elite troops and humans. The elite troops staying above your home planet should have entered the defense.

In standby mode, if you are willing to believe me, let me contact that fleet, and I should be able to command them to help you destroy the fleets of the Prophet and the Jiralhanae."

Commander Hood should be very interested in the proposal of elite captain Kull Hilaford, but for the sake of credibility, he first consulted Captain Case for his opinion. After getting Captain Case’s elite, he could

After replying to the letter, Commander Hood agreed to the proposal of the elite captain Kuhl Hilafo. Ana quickly helped Kuhl Hilafo contact the fleet commander who remained silent above the earth. The two were also wearing gold.

After the armored elite commanders quickly exchanged views, Kull Hilafor confidently said to Commander Hood: "Commander Erku Nilund has received a ceasefire order from the elite council. Before receiving a new order, he

Willing to accept Imperial Admiral Tyr Ondami's request to help humanity eliminate the invading Covenant traitors."

While ana was translating the words of elite captain Kull Silaf for Commander Hood, ana unconsciously noticed Ye Kai, who had fallen into silence since he learned that the earth was attacked. "What are you thinking?" ana couldn't help but wonder.

Ye Kai asked in the communication channel...

"Nothing," Ye Kaiyan replied insincerely. His mind was now full of doubts. Although under his promotion, humans arrived in Special Zone 04 ahead of schedule, destroyed halo04, and reached a reconciliation with the elites, the Battle of Reach should not be possible.

broke out. But was it the butterfly effect caused by him? Or was there some unknown force behind it? The Prophet of Pathetic arrived on Earth ahead of schedule, and New Mombasa was destroyed by the war. And as expected, Pathetic should have gone to halo05

, everything seems to be slowly returning to the trajectory known to Ye Kai. Although Sadness will definitely not stupidly start halo05, he will definitely get the 05 area indexer that can start Ark. This may be a problem for Ye Kai's own plan.

It was a good thing, but the tragic destruction of New Mombasa City still made Ye Kai feel a little guilty. Although he also knew that the hundreds of thousands of people in New Mombasa City could not be compared with the millions of people on Reach, but for those who had never

For Ye Kai, an otaku who wishes to control the fate of mankind, even if he fuses the memory of the soldier John, life is never just a matter of numbers.

Ye Kai, who was feeling a little heavy, decided to remind Commander Hood and Captain Keyes about the movements of the Prophet of Sorrow and the Forerunner ruins under the city of New Mombasa. But he just turned his attention from his mind to his eyes, ana was upgraded in halo04

It became more and more powerful in the end, just like now she was not connected to Ye Kai's Mjolnir but still easily controlled her own Mjolnir armor. She turned on various monitoring equipment and carefully observed Ye Kai's brain activity.

"What other crooked ideas do you have?" The smile on Ana's face made Ye Kai feel relieved.

Ye Kai, who noticed that Ana didn't mention his feelings just now, couldn't help but curled his lips slightly, "I don't have any ideas, but I have a lot of questions. But thank you for your explanation. Ana's face seemed to be slightly red, which made Ye Kai

Kai's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

"So where did the Prophet of Sorrow go? Is it the Ark you mentioned?" Commander Hood arranged for a lieutenant general whom Ye Kai didn't know to command the UNSC troops and the Covenant elites commanded by elite captain Kull Silaf.

After the fleet prepared to jointly attack the prophet forces that invaded the earth, they finally turned their attention back to the intelligence brought back by Captain Keyes.

"Probably not. According to the information of the Forerunners, the space-time gate used to reach the Ark is very huge, and according to the information currently available, the time-space gate in the Forerunner ruins under the city of New Mombasa should not have been activated yet." The problem of ana being commanded by Hood.

Attracting Ye Kai who let go of his worries.

"The actions of this prophet are indeed a bit strange, and according to the intelligence we have learned, using the Ark to activate all Halo requires at least two conditions, humans and indexers." Captain Keyes continued to analyze.

"As long as Sorrow is determined when attacking the city of New Mombasa, it shouldn't be difficult to capture a few human prisoners. Moreover, according to the habits of the forerunners, the ruins of the preserved Ark Gate are likely to contain information on other halo locations. Sorrow did not directly open the Ark Gate.

It shouldn't be difficult to guess the purpose of leaving directly." Ye Kai vaguely stated his tragic goal at this time.

"You mean, he went to another halo to get another indexer." Commander Hood almost immediately understood what Ye Kai was referring to.

"Based on existing intelligence analysis, this possibility exceeds 95%." Ana's analysis quickly came to the same conclusion.

"Captain Keyes, you'd better come to Earth as soon as possible. I will recover the city of New Mombasa as soon as possible. Master Chief, I need you and Ana to try to enter the ruins then. If there is no other way, then we will destroy it.

The gate of time and space left by the Forerunners." Commander Hood issued a new order and then cut off contact...

Under the command of Captain Keyes, Ye Kai rushed to the hibernation cabin, and the Pillar of Autumn began to accelerate to enter the jump fault space and rush to the earth. At this time, a private communication request from Commander Hood reached Captain Keyes.

On the command platform, the somewhat strange Captain Keyes connected to Commander Hood's communication. The usually resolute Commander Hood in the holographic image looked troubled, "Old friend, I have some very bad news to tell you. The military situation just now

The bureau has sent a list of missing persons who may have been captured. Although it is not certain yet, Captain Miranda Keys - your daughter is also on it." Sadness was like a giant hand tightly holding Jacob Keyes.

Captain Keith's heart pounded, and he felt that he could hardly breathe. Trying to calm down his mood, Captain Case thanked Commander Hood who informed him immediately and closed the communication. The familiar feeling of alienation made Captain Case

Knowing that the Pillar of Autumn had entered the jump fault space, Captain Keyes leaned on the command seat with some dejection. Ana, who had been secretly monitoring all communications, was a little hesitant. She wanted to tell Captain Keyes because of the special purpose of human prisoners.

, Captain Miranda Keyes is probably still alive. But she also knows that it is unlikely that all human prisoners of war who fell into the hands of the Prophet will be rescued, "I will work hard to supervise Ana quietly swore in her heart. While in the hibernation cabin,

Ye Kai, who was in a dormant state, shivered involuntarily.

People with different moods flew through the jump space on the Pillar of Autumn. In front of them was the battlefield of Earth.
