Chapter 21 - Shepherd

War never Changes, Only the means which it's occurs, The systems alliance invasion, fleet arrives, in the Shanxi System has the fleet slowly made its way to the planet, waiting for them with a token, force of league ships, and defense platforms.

The systems alliance, fleet wasted no time to get into weapons range. Once they came into range they proceeded to open fire. The league ships returned in kind.

Mass accelerators Met Laser cannons, Both fleets trading blows back to back however, the systems alliance fleet was able to out maneuver, the fleet stationed at this world, so their own ground forces can begin their own assault on the planet, Upon landing on the world N7+ began their own assaults within their customize battle cores, not only that, white glint was also deployed the deal with the enemy NEXTs that were left behind on this world.

However, the two human fleets were unaware of a third fleet, watching the onslaught.

——————————-

Citadel, diplomatic fleet—

Aboard the gracious hands, the diplomats that came with the escort fleet that would represent every major player within the citadel space bore witness to the human, slaughtering each other and open combat mass accelerator weapons pounded into armor laser met shields, and some ships, unable to bear the burden of all that firepower exploded tearing into many different pieces.

The diplomats were hopefully coming here to speak with this unknown race in order for full-blown war to not occur, But now they bare witness to two different fleets, tearing each other apart one fleet appear similar in design to the ships that destroyed the patrol fleet of the Turians.

While the other Fleet comes close to the design of the other small details can easily be made out as well as different color schemes and words found on the side of those vessels.

The two opposing forces are so focused on attacking each other. They did not notice the citadel arrived in system through the mass relay.

Matriarch Benezia The one leading the diplomats can help her look in horror between the two fleets gutting each other ruthlessly.

Matriarch Benezia: did we stumble upon another race similar? To the Krogan?

Benezia asked her self out loud, not expecting an answer from anybody.

Salarian diplomat: possibly too early to know need more evidence and data to draw any conclusions recommendation wait for the fighting to stop.

The Salarian Gave her own opinion on the matter, the other diplomats leading this adventure also Agreed with her proposal, Benezia after some thought, also agreed with this plan of action it would do the no good to get involved in whatever this is for now all they could do is sit and watch.

Shepherd POV-

Hannah Shepherd: Team status report!!

Each of my team members answering my call, my two defenders are reporting most of their legs are damaged from the recent battle with the league Garrison at this supply base that we hit our sniper was fine and the other assault BC {Battle core} was mostly fine with some minor scratches.

With the defenders heavy armor, if their legs were gone, they won't be much help so they were sent back to the supply base to repair their legs.

The rest of the team kept moving on press the advantage, the league Remnants unable to leave this world was left defend for themselves.

Unfortunately, what was left behind was an incredibly large Garrison, multiple fortresses facilities, and manufacturing plants. Several of these facilities have already been hit by the systems alliance. Some of them with my team and many of these facilities are huge ginormous, even but what makes it so much more grim is that empty,Revealing that They managed to finish some experimental projects and was able to flea with it.

Beep…

My system to Brought up more enemy signatures on radar me, and the remainder of my team got into formation. The other Sultan me were at the front. The sniper was in the back.

Weaving my machine, skillfully after years of going through countless battles with the league I've gotten used to fighting them to the point where I lead my own squads, although I still miss my old captain Zaeed Massani.

Granted him and my other squads are also on planet the N7+ has been massively expanded since it's founding, and now we have entire divisions in each captain would lead his own division and lieutenant captains lead squads.

I'm pretty proud of my rank as a lieutenant captain. My other former squad mates also made the rank eventually we will be full-time captains ourselves, but how things are going the war looks like it's drawing to close which suits me just fine after all before being deployed, here I had something else to think about going back home to my twin children John and Jane both little scoundrels.

Although I do miss their father, a brave and courageous man within the Marines, he just he just was pled at the wrong place at the wrong planet killed by league soldier flamethrower burn to live as him, and his team was trying to secure league, assets, and data.

When I became pregnant, I had to stop going to into battle and once I delivered the children and I was well enough I threw myself back into the fight, wanting to make sure my children did not grow up in this toxic war.

I was not the only one other people and old friends from Boot Camp also started to have kids and they're having the same resolve as I am.

Beep beep beep….

Danger, flares across my machine, indicating a projectile coming close operating my controls I twist my machine just in time the Dodge a sniper bullet, turning back around, analyze trajectory, and begin the closing closer to the sniper.

Wash wash wash.

Shot after shot was fired. Do you know at the last moment each time once I got to mid range towards the sniper I unloaded my auto canon directly into the core after several shots. The machine was left smoking husk.

Having my rifle filled with anti-material rounds is quite useful against other BCs, Signaling my squad to regroup, so we can continue our advance towards the next facility and taking out any units along the way.

However, before I could regroup with the rest of my unit, a massive flash in the sky as I turn my machine towards it up there, I can see two machines do it out between gunfire and laser swords, moving at incredible speed it was almost like a blur to me.

Hannah Shepherd: NEXTs !!!

I whispered to myself in ho at the power of those godly machines when the league first deployed them the system of alliance was a bit fucked, but several of those pilots seen the evil that was within the league realize siding with the all was the best action and the best one among them is white Glint.

I can see the white machine quite clearly with a friendly IFF, but the other machine, pure, black and similar build design, but vastly different plasma weaponry A minute or two my animalization came back to me on my screen. The individual was known as J, Captain of the league, reaper squad, top-tier pilots designed to be assassins.

Watching the fight with me no good and be on bystander woman just get me killed. I continue on my way to regroup with my unit one silent prayer to White glint.
