Augustus stared at the protoss high-ranking templar who was suspended in mid-air by spiritual energy. His simple golden armor was engraved with beautiful patterns and sickle-shaped lightning emblems, and its armor was dark blue.
The tabard and scorpion-tail symbol indicate that he is a Templar from the Sagas tribe.
This is a branch of the El Protoss tribe with a long history, descendants of hunters and assassins from the Age of Strife. Their ancestors are as elegant and deadly as those big striped cats in the El rainforest.
The Sargas Templars have always been ruthless killers. They are good at the art of killing. Their duty to kill and their freedom-advocating nature make them incompatible with the protoss empire that adheres to Kara's doctrine. It is said that the rebellious protoss clan Dark Saint
Most of the Tang warriors Nerazim come from this tribe.
Many members of the Koprulu Sector Expeditionary Force of Tassadar's Protoss Empire are from the Sagas tribe. After all, ruthless killing is what the Sagas Templars are best at.
The protoss of this tribe still retain the custom of hunters harvesting the trophies of their prey. They occasionally use the tusks of wild beasts to decorate their long chins that look too round, making them look more threatening.
"Perhaps I can be of help in your search."
Augustus said: "Sass, the brainworm of the Gamu swarm, is a cautious guy by nature, suspicious and cunning. It will definitely hide in the deepest part of the insect nest."
His knowledge of the zerg tunnel network came from research conducted in the Confederate Alien Laboratory of Cha Sara.
"Every underground insect nest is a huge underground city. The underground insect tunnel network of Zerg extends in all directions. It consists of a large main nest area, a secondary nest area and an incubation area. The insect tunnel network connecting these giant underground caves is like a
There is a complicated urban transportation network, but these insect tunnel networks will eventually lead to the deepest main nest area." He said.
"As long as we follow a worm path, we can find the zerg brain worm hiding in the main nest area."
"Simple, but directly to the crux of the problem." The high-ranking Templar said: "There are many extremely deep insect tunnel networks that have escaped the attack of our fleet. If the brainworm is still alive, it must be hiding in what it thinks is the safest place.
The place."
So far, both humans and protoss only know that there is a role in the Zerg group that is like the mastermind of the Zerg, and they have never seen the Zerg closely guarding the Zerg.
"Line up and move forward." Augustus gave the order to the more than two hundred soldiers who were following him without any hesitation.
Tychus Finley led the team at the front. He was still smoking a cigar at this time, and his helmet was filled with condensation mist.
"My templars will follow you." The high-ranking templar said to Augustus: "There are still a lot of dangerous monsters lurking in the underground zerg hives."
More Templars appeared in the dark night, their shining golden armor and blue robes shining in the dark night.
"You guys are really helpful." Augustus smiled.
"It should be so." The high-ranking templar said, and his voice in Augustus's mind sounded serious and serious. The protoss are always serious to the point of rigidity, and they will only unleash their fury during battle.
At this time, Augustus and others were on a flat red platform, surrounded by burning Zerg nest buildings. The layer of fungi covering the ground was swept across by the Protoss' beam weapons.
, appearing curled and dry as if burned by fire.
Walking down this mesa was a ravine plowed by the Protoss main cannon. In the light of the Augustus power armor's front searchlight, he could still vaguely see the charred alien bodies that were welded to the ground by the hot plasma.
Insect carcasses.
In the thermal imaging system on the Augustus HUD, there were very few images of zerg on the ground. Those were either burned to ashes by the protoss' scorching blue rays or cut into pieces by the psychic blades of the protoss templars.
fragments.
The landscape here is mostly flat hills and sandy land. Tens of billions of years ago, this area was the mouth of a long river. Most of the area is conducive to the zerg using their claws and teeth to dig deep tunnels and build nests.
There are also large areas of crystal mineral veins exposed in the air and continuous high-energy gas springs in this area. These precious minerals are also the same for the zerg. They can strengthen the zerg's carapace and claws, and act as a catalyst to make the zerg swarm stronger.
Operate more efficiently.
From the perspective of the leader of the Gamu swarm, this is indeed an excellent place to build a nest. At the same time, the brainworm of the Gamu swarm obviously did not expect the arrival of the Protoss Expeditionary Force, otherwise it would have been able to pass through at any time.
On Behemoth, the insect swarm escaping through time and space.
"So we really have to go underground to look for bugs? I would say the risk is much greater than fighting against Duke's Alpha Squadron in Mar Sara." Tychus ran from behind in Augustus.
He said as he followed him.
"Our tanks and Goliath armed robots cannot move at all in the narrow worm passages, but the worms are like fish in water, because they are hatched from those filthy nests, just like they metamorphose into rotten grass roots.
Maggots for flies," he said.
"This is why I chose to lead an elite army instead of a division, Tychus." Augustus said and looked at Kerrigan who was running next to him.
"Can you sense anything?" he asked.
Kerrigan is not only the strongest and possibly the most special psyker known to date, her special ability to sense zerg has not been found in any other psyker.
She can easily sense the presence of the zerg and learn their location, but Kerrigan must be careful not to use her psychic powers within five yards of any zerg, otherwise the swarm will sense its presence.
"The zerg have retreated underground...the protoss are also moving deeper into the zerg hive." Kerrigan replied: "It seems that the zerg are defending their hive."
"They didn't choose to escape, either because the swarm didn't think it was necessary to do so, or there was something here that they had to protect," Augustus said.
"We can feel that there is a powerful psychic food lurking underground, which should be a brainworm." The high-ranking templar walked to Augustus, who was floating in the air, using the power of psychic energy.
Move quickly on the ground.
There are about forty or fifty protoss templars holding blue psychic blades standing next to humans. Their psychic blades are not handle-type, but are activated from some kind of wrist-shaped transmitter on the back of the wrist.
A cluster of dense light blades.
The armor of the protoss warriors also has sophisticated equipment. Perhaps their radiant eyes can see things in the dark like cats, but the protoss templars seem to be just using their glowing psychic blades.
Lighting - looks like a flashlight.
"Let's see if there is any entrance to a cave nearby. It would be best if the entrance is big enough so that it looks like a big snake is swimming through it," Augustus said.
"Okay boss." Harnak Harker fired several flares from the extra launchers on his Firebat powered armor arms, and the other soldiers followed suit.
"There." The high-ranking templar discovered the entrance to a cave before everyone else. The dark cave entrance was filled with dead Hydra Hydralisks.
"Templars, attack!" he ordered: "May Arden guide our steps forward."
The protoss were the first to enter the dark cave. The cave dug by the zerg was obviously prepared for the largest zerg, and could fully accommodate the tall protoss.
"Follow them," said Augustus.
Augustus took steps to keep up with the athletic protoss, while Kerrigan and Tychus followed closely behind.
In the light of the powered armor's searchlight, the entrance to the cave looked unusually smooth, covered with a layer of white sandy soil. Even the jagged rocks were covered by the rough armor of the Hydra Hydralisks that guarded the place every day.
Smooth.
The cave seems to be naturally formed, and the work done by the zerg here is only to widen and deepen it.
"Stay back and let me explore the way." Tychus stopped Augustus before he wanted to take the lead into the cave, and walked in first: "Don't stop me from beating the bugs, do you understand?"
"Let the knowledgeable people stand in front, boss." Hanak put on his helmet and threw a lit laser lighter in. This young man who had worked in the Shiloh underground mine for several weeks knew a few things about underground pits.
For example, if a narrow pit is filled with toxic gas or high-energy gas leaks, a lighter can send people to the sky.
"The zerg are cleaner than we thought." Tychus didn't notice what Harnak was doing at all. He just noticed that the zerg's cave was much better than he thought, with no mucus and
Those slimy creeps and disgusting acid.
In fact, the entrance to the cave is more like a reptile's nest, which should be related to the habits of certain species of zerg.
"Stop talking nonsense, Tychus, and watch your step." Augustus shouted on the communication channel.
When he actually walked into the dark and narrow cave, a gently sloping underground passage appeared in front of everyone. Augustus felt a moment of depression and nervousness, but he quickly focused his attention and looked at two
On the side of the rock wall and sand.
"Enable the oxygen concentrator and air circulation system inside the armor. Do not breathe the air inside, it is likely to be poisonous." Augustus gave the order on the channel.
Even Kerrigan wears a helmet, and her advanced combat suit with many circuits buried inside has functions similar to power armor.
At first, the passage was quite wide, enough for Revolutionary Army soldiers wearing power armor to pass, but after walking a straight line distance of more than two hundred yards, it gradually became narrower and shorter, and the slope became steeper and steeper.
The troops led by the high-ranking templar of Sargas had already gone far away. Their nimble footsteps were already hard to detect, and now they were even less audible.
With these protoss warriors opening the way for Augustus, they would not have to worry about whether one or two crazy zerg would suddenly appear ahead.
After walking in this passage for a few more minutes, the underground worm passage became narrower and narrower, and in the end it could only barely accommodate two soldiers in power armor who could barely pass through.
Just when Augustus hesitated to move forward, they gradually came to a fork in the road. The insect path they had walked before was divided into three, leading to different directions.
"It's windy...these insect passages are connected to each other...at least one passage is used as a ventilation duct. What we need to find is the hub insect passage that leads directly to the main nest area." Kerrigan
explain.
"The Protoss must know the exact direction." Augustus said: "They are much more sensitive to the psychic energy of the Zerg than we are, and they are able to confirm the direction with the help of more sophisticated equipment."
"Stop."
Augustus stopped and searched the ground for the protoss' wide footprints with huge toes.
"Follow me," said Augustus.
What follows is another intense push through the underground insect tunnels. Walking in the dark underground is not a pleasant thing.
Gradually, scattered insect corpses and clusters of dark purple carpet clusters began to appear on the ground. The originally clean holes immediately became moist, and strange, flesh-colored food tissues appeared.
It sticks to the rock walls and ground like fat or organs on the intestines.
The dead zerg were almost all killed by one blow. Whether it was a springtail or a Hydra Hydralisk, their heads were cut off or stabbed into the heart. During this period, Augustus did not even hear what was supposed to be echoing in the insect tunnels.
The screams showed that the attacks of these templar warriors were as fast as lightning and thunder.
"I take back what I just said, bugs are just a group of 'bad boys who don't like to be clean.'" Tychus said.
"Oh my god, that's disgusting," Harnak screamed.
"Hank, light up the fire." Augustus shouted.
When Harnak heard what Augustus said, he immediately excitedly lit the flamethrower as he walked in, and together with several other fire bats in the team, burned those weird tissues to ashes.
The road ahead was even more difficult. There were corpses of zerg everywhere and tumors that exuded a peculiar smell. There were also some spider-like monsters among them. They must have been specially hatched to guard the nest.
"Keep moving." After dealing with these tumors, Augustus waved his hand and ordered the troops behind him to keep moving.
After walking for nearly ten minutes, Augustus found no trace of the Templars. Only more and more Zerg corpses revealed what kind of enemies they had encountered.
Until an earth-shaking roar made humans realize that they were in an underground tunnel filled with alien monsters. When the roar came, it was accompanied by the vibration of the sand and gravel underfoot.
One can imagine what kind of incredible giant monster the owner of this roar is.
The passage ended abruptly behind a pile of Hydra Hydralisk corpses, and what appeared in front of Augustus was a giant cave that was tall enough to accommodate a huge insect hatchery and mutalisks spire.
The high-ranking templars of Sargas are fighting a monster that is much larger than an ordinary thunder beast. It has bright red skin and more than one pair of giant scythes. It is a walking giant with a strong carapace and spikes.
The beast, even the Protoss Templar, appears insignificant in front of it.
"Oh my God, what the hell is going on?" Tychus cursed.
"It actually didn't collapse under its own weight," Kerrigan said.
"An elite thunder beast." Augustus said: "Without the help of the protoss, it is enough to wipe out all of us."
"The good news is, I'm pretty sure the brainworm is around here."
