280 Quartet melee

 When Augustus walked down the two steps from the exit of the armored vehicle's command cabin, he and Sarah Kerrigan who were following him could see a spectacular sight.

In the distance, a few small suns rose in the volcanoes, highlands and valleys in the mountains occupied by the Gamu swarm. The mushroom clouds raised by the huge fireball obscured the space. The shock wave spread at a speed of tens of miles per second.

The light and heat released expand with the hot air.

The suddenly heated wall of air swept across the hard crimson land of Antiga and swallowed up everything in its path. Countless running zerg were torn apart, and the broken carapace was thrown high together with the gravel and sand.

, forming an overwhelming rain of debris.

"It's time for these monsters to see the power of mankind. A single nuclear bomb can kill thousands of warriors."

Under the protection of the power armor facial helmet, Augustus could look directly into the center of the nuclear explosion.

This advanced set of CMC-300 commander armor can also effectively protect against damage from extreme environments such as stellar radiation and nuclear explosion radiation. In the early days, the Tyranids had marines wearing first-generation power armor penetrate into the center of nuclear bomb explosions.

Facts have proven that the protective capabilities of power armor are worth the investment and its cost.

"Even a large-scale nuclear strike on a desolate planet like Antiga is questionable. If the zerg invade a populous planet like Shiloh, we cannot use unbridled fusion strikes against the zerg.

Yes." Kerrigan took a different view.

"You are right... Even if we destroy a planet to defend it, the loss of the zerg is only a small setback compared to their huge number. The swarm will look for the next attack

The target, and we can only guard the ruins." As Augustus said, the Protoss fleet launched their attack.

Thick blue beams of light pierced through the thick smoke one after another, hitting the main zerg nests with precision. The huge organic buildings that were still standing under the shock wave of the nuclear explosion exploded into splashes of blood and broken pieces.

The rest of the giant creature's skeleton also burned in the fire.

The blow penetrated deep into the ground and flattened the towering mountain peaks in front of Augustus, triggering a terrifying volcanic eruption. Magma continued to pour into the zerg's lairs extending in all directions, igniting raging fires. The main nest area of ​​the Gamu swarm

It became the center of a thermonuclear reaction, leaving only charred or burning land and insects.

The earth began to shake, as if the continental plates carrying the mountains and rivers were moving.

"...Is it over?" Augustus was not talking to himself, but asking Kerrigan beside him.

"Obviously not, my marshal." In Kerrigan's psychic induction, the simple, bloodthirsty thinking of countless individuals has indeed been greatly reduced, but there are still quite a few zerg still alive - they passed

The Nydusworm web tunnels move deep underground, and the depth protects these monsters.

"I can feel their thoughts underground... The Gamu swarm was given a single goal, which is to tear apart humans and protoss... The cold fury of Cerebrate Sars made

The garmu swarm has descended into extreme madness."

"Prepare to fight, soldiers, the zerg have not been completely eliminated yet!" Augustus ordered on the public communication channel of the entire army.

"Follow your commander's orders and protect your comrades. Your rifles and powered armor will live and die with you in this war. We are the Korhal Revolutionary Army, the last barrier between the zerg and humans. Hold the line,

I am with you and I will never fall."

Following Augustus's order, the click of a gun being drawn and loaded, the sound of armor clashing and the buzz of the mecha's servo system sounded at the same time. Countless figures that looked small on the earth were in the light released by the fire and explosion.

Long shadows were drawn out one after another, and even a sixteen-year-old boy seemed like a tall mountain standing tall.

Various responses never stopped in the communication channel, and different oaths from various troops proved to Augustus that they were ready to do everything for the final victory of mankind - even though Augustus could not hear them.

what was said.

Augustus took out a Gauss gun from the armored command vehicle and used a pair of optical binoculars to scan the front line of revolutionary soldiers, fire bats, Goliath armed robots, chariots and tanks, which were composed of armor, steel

The battle line with the engine is like a high wall.

The battle line stretched for several miles from east to west, and the golden-red paint was a perfect protective color on the land of Antiga.

Just a few seconds after Augustus finished speaking, a large number of springtails and Hydra Hydralisks came from the hard red soil in the southwest. The sound of their carapace rubbing against the ground was accompanied by the crunching of springtails as they moved.

With a loud voice, they launched an attack on the waiting revolutionary army.

Thousands of zerg came from the land in all directions, using their sharp claws to easily crush the hard soil and gravel, and roared out of the ground. Their orange chitin carapace reflected in the light released by the explosion.

Metallic luster.

The Garmu swarm will never blindly launch attacks from the enemy's strongest defense front. Their cerebrates are more willing to surround the enemy from all sides, or order a hive army to attract the enemy's attention and then concentrate their forces from the weakest defense line.

Attack at the weakest point, just like using a sharp blade to pry open a clam's shell.

"Fire - fire - fire!" One after another, the Revolutionary Army commanders issued orders, and the order to fire was transmitted to various units along with the radio waves.

The soldiers of the Revolutionary Army quickly adjusted their formation, and the Gauss rifle fired a deadly and dense barrage. Hundreds of springtails were penetrated by the screaming spiked bullets or blown into a pile of minced meat by the artillery shells.

At the same time, the roar of a high-ranking Templar rang out from the Protoss troops directly in front of the Revolutionary Army. He did not need to speak out to command all the warriors in a spiritual network like Kara, but just like Ai

Like the roar of the giant beasts in the jungle, this war cry that contains a certain spiritual language is enough to shake the enemy's will.

"Templars, reveal your shining blades."

Following the command of the Protoss Commander, the neatly dressed Protoss Templars activated the azure psychic blades in their wrists one after another, thousands of shining blades blooming with bright light.

Immediately afterwards, this army consisting of less than 8,000 Protoss Templars, Dragon Knights and hundreds of Scarabs began to advance against the charge of the Gamu swarm.

Each of these protoss warriors who have practiced this art for hundreds of years is equivalent to a master swordsman among humans. They wield their double blades swiftly and gracefully without any extraneous movements to show off their skills. Every time the blade is unsheathed, it can cut.

A zerg's head or pierced through their massive heart.

The Protoss Templar's shining, dense psychic blade can cut through the carapace of a zerg with ease, and the psychic blade made of concentrated psychic energy is indestructible.

The four-legged spider-shaped Protoss Dragon Knight mecha phase tearing cannon weaved a brilliant blue barrage in front of the Templars, while the slow-moving, trilobite-like Protoss Scarabs

It continuously releases a kind of high-explosive smart bomb with amazing power,

These blue comet-like internal bombs are closer to human missiles with automatic locking function. Once they explode, they will release a brilliant blue electromagnetic force field, which is enough to sweep away a large number of zerg or paralyze human machines.

While humans are still resisting the attack of the swarm, the protoss army is crushing the surging zerg torrent. The protoss are a rare and long-lived race. This means that every one of their warriors is experienced.

Rich in elite warriors, almost every protoss warrior has a lifespan longer than the history of humanity in the Koprulu Sector itself.

"Damn idiot protoss, we can't fire at their position like this - what age are they still thinking about stabbing people with knives? It's like a group of primitive people throwing stone locks and arrows at each other in a starship

Spear..." At this time, the artillery commander's roar came from Augustus' command channel.

"Maybe they think it's cooler, Nord, to just concentrate on dealing with the zerg from other directions. If these protoss still need our rescue, it will definitely be a losing battle," Augustus said.

While Augustus was talking, the charging Gamu swarm was getting closer and closer to the soldiers around him. A large number of zerg fell on the way to the charge, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and saliva.

stench.

The nearest springtail was only more than 800 yards away from Augustus, and it was quickly swamped by the bullets of hundreds of revolutionary soldiers in front of Augustus.

But this is the way the swarm attacks. Even if the sacrifice of a dozen Zerglings only results in one Marine, it is worth it to the entire swarm.

When more Zerg rushed towards the Firebat troops at the front of the battle line under a hail of bullets, the wall of flames raised by the plasma flames ejected from the flamethrower withstood the Zerglings' attack. As the commander gave an order

, some Revolutionary Army soldiers began to equip themselves with grenade launchers, focusing on dealing with the huge Thunder Beasts and deadly Scorpions.

When Augustus swept towards the battle line on his right, a huge thunder beast had already rushed in front of several fire bats. Its huge, scythe-like fangs swept over more than a dozen fire bats and revolutionary troops.

The soldiers cut through their armor, and it rushed among the soldiers and slaughtered them like a rampaging rhinoceros.

This had disastrous consequences. When the battle line was breached, more and more springtails and Hydra Hydralisks ran under the monster, mercilessly harvesting the lives of human soldiers.

When Augustus looked there, he could clearly see a springtail jumping up and jumping onto the chest of a revolutionary soldier.

It is as light as a cat jumping on the bed or a desert jerboa leaping into the grass. It looks like a child stumbling into the arms of a giant, but its blood-stained fangs and claws symbolize

It's definitely a monster from a nightmare.

It was not a harmless pet or a weak ball of wool. When a springtail crashed into a human, it looked like a bloodthirsty raptor.

This screaming little monster opened its bloody mouth with slits extending all the way to the base of its ears. From a certain angle, it looked like a weird smile without any sense of humor, or the smile of a Cheshire cat. It

A sharp claw with long spikes stretched out and pierced the soldier's dark orange matte mask, and blood immediately stained the inside of the helmet red.

This zerg was obviously not satisfied with this, and it immediately pierced the spike of the other forelimb on its chest into the breastplate of the power armor.

With just a tearing sound, the squeaking and howling monster tore open the powered armor like a can wrapped in tinfoil with bare hands, dragging the dead revolutionary soldiers away from the roaring crowd, followed by

The zerg roared and tore him apart.

These ferocious-looking monsters also let out different roars while tearing apart, which to Augustus sounded like the excited roars of wild dogs when they eat their prey.

A dozen Hydra Hydralisks with orange carapace crawled forward, their long snake-like bodies cutting across the gravel and gravel. They inserted their long sickle-shaped forelimbs into the earth, arched their backs and shot out hundreds of thousands of thorns.

Poisonous stingers.

These needles, which were strong enough to pierce the tank's front fender armor, instantly nailed the fire bat at the front, and immediately several matte helmets riddled with holes rolled to the ground.

"Sergeant Mond, lead your men to cover the gap! Otherwise we will have to spend more money to recapture him!" Anger filled Augustus's mind, and he yelled as he shouted from the people around him.

Faraday took an electromagnetic gun and fired at the huge thunder beast.

At this time, the huge Thunder Beast was already covered with wounds. Its body was covered with bullet marks and huge wounds. There were at least forty anti-tank rocket launchers and more Gauss rifles pointed at it. In this way, this Thunder Beast was also

Still standing, until it was hit by several armor-piercing grenades and collapsed.

This behemoth also overwhelmed several Firebats and dozens of Zerglings and Hydra Hydralisks when it fell, stirring up a burst of red dust. When more supporting soldiers rushed to fill the gap, the charging Zerg finally

Was pushed back temporarily.

However, hundreds of Revolutionary Army soldiers were already lying on the ground. Many of them were brutally torn to pieces, while those who were rescued by their comrades in time were lying on the ground powerlessly. Even the tight servo system of the power armor was locked.

Unable to hold back the huge wounds they were torn open, only large amounts of injections of sedatives and analgesics could keep these soldiers awake.

Most of the soldiers with blurred and distracted eyes could not hold on until the rescue ship arrived. Their arteries were cut and they died of massive hemorrhage.

When the revolutionary army withstood the attack of the insect swarm, the Gamu swarm retreated. They abandoned the destroyed insect nest and began to retreat. Gradually, cheers came from the revolutionary army's front.

"The swarm of insects has retreated..." Augustus' forehead was covered with sweat: "Hurry up and save people."

"Destroying these hives means there will be no more zerg around Ansadar for quite some time, giving us time to push forward until we drive the zerg out of Antiga," he said.

"This is the fleet, I'm Warfield." More than ten seconds later, just as Augustus was about to order an army to be sent deep into the destroyed main nest to eliminate any zerg that might have survived, Warfield's voice suddenly

rang in his ears.

"Delta Squadron and Nova Squadron have moved to the orbit of Antiga's main star. They are recharging their weapon systems and opening the bomb drop bay." Warfield said with a solemn voice.

"I suspect they want to bomb Ansadar..."

"The Federation... they must be crazy." Augustus said: "The Protoss building is right next to it."

"Unless they want to piss off the protoss."
