Chapter 7. The Fall of Truth and Harmony
"Ana was excitedly spinning around in the display screen of his helmet. Ye Kai couldn't help but think of the scene when the puppy that had been ignored for a long time suddenly saw its owner and rolled around at the owner's feet. "It's so cute."
Ye Kaixin said.
Ana rejected the third-class technical soldier Sam who was preparing to do a health test on her. After she reconnected with Ye Kai, she continued to use the various monitoring systems that came with Mjolnir to conduct a comprehensive examination of his body.
The results are good.
"Received instructions from Captain Case, he wants us to go to the bridge." Captain Case's contact interrupted Ana's idea of going through Mjolnir's self-inspection program again, and also caused Ye Kai to stop self-inspection.
to resolve the state of immobility.
"Time, and where are we," Ye Kai asked Ana as he rushed to the bridge.
"It is now 0805 hours on July 27, 2552 in the military calendar. We escaped from the jump fault space 20 minutes ago and have now reached the 04 Special Zone star field. You are the last one to be woken up." Ana said while displaying on Ye Kai's helmet
The battle clock opens on the screen. "Three minutes ago, AI Lindsell discovered a large man-made ring next to the main planet of Zone 04. There were two Covenant spacecraft in that ring. According to the communication to the Covenant people,
Crack, they call that ring ana answered quickly.
"Do you know what Captain Case wants from us?" Ye Kai asked strangely.
"It's not us. Captain Keyes needs me to decipher the Covenant's communication information and collect tactical information. But can you imagine that the Covenant actually sends tactical information in an unencrypted communication network without encryption!!!
"Ana was as proud as a little fox when referring to herself, but in an instant she began to complain about the boring nature of the work ahead.
Ye Kai decided to ignore Ana, who was mourning himself while already deciphering the communications of the Covenant ship and connecting to the large communication antenna array specially installed for this mission.
"Ana, what's the enemy's information?" Captain Case was accustomed to implementing the tactic of knowing the enemy first.
"The enemy belongs to the Covenant's Infinite Justice Fleet. The good news is that the enemy's flagship and escort fleet are not here. Only two ships are left to perform exploration missions, and one is the agricultural support ship Infinite Relief without combat capabilities.
But the bad news is that the holographic image of the other ship is Ana, which is slightly purple and is obviously still busy.
"Captain Keyes, the enemy has discovered us. The Truth and Harmony is approaching us. The estimated time of contact with the enemy is five minutes." The black-haired navigator reported.
"Very good, Linsel implements Cole's protocol and eliminates all star maps in the navigation system. Lieutenant Hiyoshi Kazuko, charge our new mac cannon, turn on the evacuation alarm in all unimportant areas of the spacecraft, and let all crew members there
Leave. Order all the Long Sword interceptors to set off and attract the enemy's artillery fire. Let's get closer and surprise it." Captain Keyes issued the battle order, and the crew members in the bridge cabin took their positions and began to prepare for the battle. Ye Kai, who had nothing to do, obeyed Ana's instructions.
Instructions to secure oneself to the operator's seat of the communications console.
Through the mainboard display screen of the bridge of the Pillar of Autumn, two Longsword interceptors have begun to exchange fire with the Covenant's fish-shaped combat boats, missiles and ion cannons roaring in the silent universe.
"Time to engage the enemy, Lieutenant Flower?" Captain Keyes asked the black-haired navigator.
"The enemy was engaged at one point and the enemy's ion cannon was observed." Second Lieutenant Flor replied quickly.
"Port side emergency braking engine lateral injection." In Captain Case's order, Ye Kai felt himself being pressed hard against the console. He was now very grateful that Ana had fixed him well. Then he saw a blazing white light.
The ion beam streaked across the port side of the Pillar of Autumn...
"Good hiding, Lieutenant Hiyoshi Kazuko, weapon charging status." Captain Case forcefully adjusted his body fixed on the command seat.
"The main gun is 95% charged, the ammunition is assembled, and it will take 20 seconds to fire at full power." Lieutenant Hiyoshi Kazuko's voice was uniquely calm.
"Launch missile bays 1 to 16, Dominic accelerates, let's get closer." Captain Keyes stared intently at the approaching Truth and Harmony on the mainboard display.
"Ion blast," Lieutenant Flower shouted, "impact protection."
The salvo from the Truth and Harmony finally hit the port side of the Pillar of Autumn. The huge impact caused everyone on the bridge to rush forward under the reaction force and then be pulled back to their seats by the fixed straps.
"Linsel, report the damage." Captain Keyes may have bitten his lip, and he spat out a mouthful of bloody spit.
"The port side deck was damaged by 33%. Cabins 003 to 007 in Area A were ruptured but have been emergency closed. Since most personnel have been evacuated, the casualties are not very large." Lindsell's white holographic image appeared in Captain Case's operating seat.
superior.
"Send the first aid team, Hiyoshi Kazuko, how is the main gun?"
"The main gun is 100% charged. The enemy has entered the optimal firing range and is ready to fire at any time." Lieutenant Hiyoshi Kazuko gently brushed away the messy hair from his forehead.
"Binding 280, main gun fires three rounds." Captain Keyes tapped his left hand heavily on the command platform.
The main gun of the Pillar of Autumn roared, and the first ferrous core shell hit the shield of the bow of the Truth and Harmony. The powerful impact quickly turned the shield of the bow of the Truth and Harmony into a
Red, this is a signal of overload. The second ferrous core shell that followed it effortlessly penetrated the shield of the Truth and Harmony and left an ugly scar on the bow, while the third
The shell accurately hit the ion cannon array of the Truth and Harmony and triggered a violent explosion there.
"The enemy has turned and is trying to escape!" the navigator, Second Lieutenant Flor, shouted in surprise.
"It's not surprising," Ana interjected, "The top commander on board the Truth and Harmony is now a low-level prophet. This class of Covenant people seems to have no determination to destroy all enemies!"
"Then let's pursue it. Lieutenant Hiyoshi Kazuko will focus his fire on the enemy engine, and we'll force it into the ring." Captain Keyes said with high morale.
"Bad news, Captain." Ana reported, "The enemy is asking for help. The enemy's flagship, the Truth Seeker, has received emergency communications. It and another Covenant battleship of unknown rank, the Endurance and Promise, will arrive after completing the escort mission.
Return to Area 04 for support." Ana paused, "The good news is that their destination is quite far from Area 04, and we have about 28 hours."
"Sir, the enemy ship Truth and Harmony is showing signs of accelerating its escape." The navigator, Ensign Flor, reported urgently.
"Lieutenant Hiyoshi Kazuko, how's the main gun doing?" Captain Keyes turned to the weapons operator Lieutenant Hiyoshi Kazuko.
"Charged 65%, can shoot single shot."
"Bearing 175, target enemy main engine, fire." Under the command of Captain Keyes, the main gun of the Pillar of Autumn fired again. This time the shell directly hit the main engine of the Truth and Harmony, which was trying to escape, violently
In the explosion, the damaged main engine of the Truth and Harmony was directly separated from the hull, and the pursuing Pillar of Autumn had to move sideways to avoid the huge debris.
"The enemy gave up escaping and turned towards the ring. They were probably going to make an emergency landing on the ring," Second Lieutenant Flor reported.
"Great, this is exactly what we want." Captain Keyes tapped the command platform, "Lieutenant Hiyoshi Kazuko, prepare all missile launch bays, target all ion cannon launchers of enemy ships, and notify the young man driving the sword
We wipe out all enemy fighters." Captain Keyes sat upright. "Lieutenant Dominic, let's pursue and go to that ring."….
Having lost its main engine, the Truth and Harmony lost the usual flexibility of the Covenant spacecraft. It was like a bulky whale, trying hard to adjust the angle of entry into the ring's atmosphere. The Pillar of Autumn was still pouring behind it.
With firepower, Truth and Harmony could only keep abandoning the severely damaged cabin, and debris of all sizes turned into beautiful meteor showers in the ring atmosphere. Truth and Harmony, which broke into the atmosphere, lost its final power, and the huge spacecraft made an emergency landing in the atmosphere.
On a piece of water in the ring, the huge impact stirred up huge waves and submerged a large island on the water. The Truth and Harmony, which could not slow down, also followed the waves and rushed to the island. The huge hull was like a sharp blade.
Draw an ugly scar on a very tropical island full of vegetation.
Seeing that the enemy ship had completely lost its combat effectiveness, Captain Keyes ordered a ceasefire. Lieutenant Hiyoshi Kazuko finally had time to tie up his hair that had become loose during the battle. Lieutenant Flore slumped on the navigation seat like a deflated ball.
"Captain Keyes, Colonel Ackerson asked to enter the bridge cabin." AI Linsell reported to Captain Keyes somewhat shyly.
"Invite him in," Captain Case said, freeing himself from the restraints at the command station and straightening his uniform.
Colonel Ackerson, who had a livid face and two dark circles under his eyes, strode into the bridge cabin. Major Ambrose followed closely with Tom and Lucy. Colonel Ackerson entered the bridge cabin and looked at him habitually.
He glanced at everyone in the bridge. Ye Kai could clearly feel that his eyes were scanning Ana on the communication console, which made him miserable." Ye Kai complained silently in his heart.
"Congratulations on your victory, Captain Case." To Ye Kai's surprise, Colonel Ackerson politely congratulated Captain Case on his victory.
"Thank you, I will follow your command for the next step, Commander Ackerson." Captain Keyes was very aware of Colonel Ackerson's purpose and made a gesture of obeying the command.
"Okay," Colonel Ackerson stood in the center of the command seat without hesitation and began to issue orders. "Spartan 117, please cooperate with Major Ambrose to break into the Truth and Harmony. I need information about this ring covenant.
Please give me all the intelligence you have and if possible, capture their commander."
"Yes, sir." Ye Kai saluted, then took out Ana and reconnected with his Mjolnir armor, then followed Major Ambrose and left the bridge.
