Chapter 176 - Chapter 176 Sparta II

Appendix File:

Spartan Unit Designations.

When Umbrella only had 14 Spartan-I soldiers, their designations were simply numbers.

However, with the rapid increase in the number of Spartan units, adjustments were made.

Spartan-I designations are A-0XX.

For example, the three members of Spartan Blue Team:

A-007 John.

A-003 Myron.

A-004 Carl.

Spartan-II designations are B-XXX, and so on.

...

Date: February 22, 2011.

Location: Minos Island.

William, Athena, and Spartan Blue Team, dressed in suits, were aboard a specially painted Pelican, circling over Minos Island. After a full circle, they slowly descended to a cluster of buildings on the island's western end.

William had left Hank and the Alphas in Halfa, specifically to guard Halsey, who was nine months pregnant.

There were two reasons for his visit to Minos Island.

First, among the two hundred and forty Spartan-IIs, one small team's file had caught William's attention.

Second, during her pregnancy in Halfa, Halsey had analyzed his blood and found it highly suitable for building a divine body.

So, she had transmitted the blood data to Minos Island, and then used Achilles' blood to weave a 'William's personal unit'.

Moreover, the closer Halsey got to her due date, the more irritable she became. Her formerly docile demeanor was gone, and she would complain about William's every little thing.

She even started to 'act silly'...

For example, after having breakfast, half an hour later, she would call out to William, "William~ I'm hungry, isn't it time for breakfast?"

As someone who understood Halsey thoroughly, William, of course, knew her 'layered cake' routine.

She was just acting silly because she wanted to eat.

Consequently, Halsey's figure had also gradually changed.

However, as a very gentle-tempered man, he was still endlessly tolerant and doting towards Halsey.

And now...

Halsey insisted on making him a custom mech and explicitly demanded that he come to Minos Island for a test drive, otherwise, her little temper would flare up again.

Coincidentally, William also needed to check on the Spartan-II soldiers under Umbrella's command, so to keep Halsey happy and not disrupt his work, he came to Minos Island.

As for the 'personal unit' designed by Halsey, to be honest, he was quite interested.

After all, operating a mech is attractive to boys of any age.

.

Inside the cabin.

The three Spartans sitting opposite William were all individuals whose age did not match their illustrious military achievements.

The childishness on their faces had almost completely faded, replaced by confident, profound, and indifferent expressions.

Even the most 'unreliable' Myron was no longer boisterous, trying hard to maintain his image, as he was about to meet a group of younger juniors.

Sitting not far from William was Athena, also dressed in a suit.

The Spartan units needed to study legends and myths from around the world, as well as ancient classic battles.

And Athena, as the only 'god' maintaining cooperation with the company, would naturally be promoted as teaching material, giving the new Spartans a goal to aspire to.

"Boss."

Soon, the pilot's reminder came from inside the cabin: "We have successfully landed."

Upon hearing this,

William stood up, tidied his attire, and said, "Alright, let's go meet the kids."

"Yes, Boss."

When the cabin door opened,

William stepped out and saw several people dressed in black short-sleeved shirts and dark camouflage pants, looking like instructors, gathered on the high platform of the tarmac.

The leader was Colonel Allen Kent, who was in charge of Minos Island.

Kent was originally the commander of the Ares Mobile Task Force, with the rank of Major, but as the Spartan-II unit program progressed,

Ares' command was handed over to his deputy, while Kent was promoted to Colonel based on various merits.

He remained on Minos Island to ensure the normal construction of the God-Making Project and to train the two hundred and forty Spartan-II soldiers.

"Boss."

Kent stepped forward and saluted William.

"Mm."

William waved his hand, signaling 'at ease', then walked with his hands behind his back towards the area below the platform, asking:

"How are those kids performing?"

"They're alright."

Kent, who was beside him, said, "The numbers are indeed greater, but they're still a bit behind the very first batch. However, one small team is performing well."

Saying this, Kent took out a pre-prepared A4 tablet and handed it to William.

William took the A4 and saw the information of a five-person team.

'Noble Team';

① B-059 Carter.

② B-032 Catherine.

③ B-039 Emile.

④ B-166 Jun.

⑤ B-212 Natalie (Note: B-212 is Noble 6, whose name or designation is Natalie, according to Noblewiki in 'Halo'.

Female.

Picture.)

.

William remained silent after reading the information on these five individuals.

While browsing the information of all Spartan-IIs in Halfa, William had already noticed this Noble Team.

Because, apart from their designations, all their data showed similarities to 'Halo: Reach'.

The only difference might be the absence of 052 Jorge.

However, if according to the setting, Jorge should be from the same batch of Spartans as John.

Then it is very likely that Jorge did not appear in Umbrella's Noble Team for this reason.

William had previously asked the system why Umbrella could have characters from the game without needing summon rewards.

The system's answer was somewhat ambiguous, stating that after Umbrella developed to a certain scale, there was a chance for characters from the game to appear to assist.

Regarding this explanation,

William merely shrugged, not pursuing the truth too much.

.

"This team's training results are excellent."

William praised as he looked at Noble Team's past records, then handed the A4 back to Kent.

Kent took the A4 and put it away, then gestured towards a nearby building, saying, "Boss, the second-generation kids are in there."

"Good."

William nodded.

Then he led everyone into the spacious, tiered lecture hall, which could accommodate over five hundred people.

William employed one of his best skills: public speaking.

He gave the bewildered young Spartans some motivational speeches, and then had the Blue Team, who had participated in various containment operations, come on stage to encourage them.

Finally, Athena, appearing as the 'beauty', shared various interesting anecdotes she had encountered over tens of thousands of years, and so on.

The two hundred and forty young Spartans, upon seeing the Blue Team, who were like'superhumans', all showed expressions of longing and admiration.

As for Athena, who exuded a divine aura, she was even more adored by the young boys.

After this routine speech, Athena submitted an application to stay on Minos Island to teach the Spartan-IIs.

The application was approved.

Finally,

William and the Blue Team, led by Kent, took a rail train to the factory on Minos Island where divine bodies were being built.

That was the main reason William came to Minos Island: his personal unit.
