The particle beam emitting blue light passed over the base of Alpha Squadron of the Revolutionary Army, melting ravines emitting red light in the formation of the Tiamat insect swarm.
A two-hundred-foot-long iron-gray fortification wall lay on its side in a mixture of ashes and blood, while the tents where the garrison soldiers lived next to it were burning in raging flames.
That was the center of the battle, with a long line of Templars forming an impenetrable line of defense around the gap. It was a brutal and bloody hand-to-hand battle, with massive zerglings, Hydra Hydralisks and Ultralisks roaring.
Pounce towards the sword and shadow of the blue psychic blade.
Behind the Templars are their Archon Taldarin and the Dragon Knights. The slow-moving Scarabs are rushing towards the most dangerous areas of the war. Each Scarab high-explosive bomb they launch releases
The electromagnetic force field can clear a large emptiness in the vast sea of insects.
The swarm army advances endlessly, and in the twinkling night of Char, Tiamat seems to be the shadow of a connected wave. There are desperate battles and killings everywhere, and thousands of determined stars
Spiritual and human warriors are fighting for the same goal.
People were being sacrificed every moment, so that Augustus had no time to distinguish whether the screams of the dead came from the stars or humans.
After agreeing on the battle plan with Taldarin, Augustus fought on the fortification wall where he was for more than three hours. He first emptied all the ammunition of the Gatling machine gun and the twin 30mm cannon, and then
Electromagnetic rifles, spike guns and SR-8 twenty-shot torrent shotguns were used.
Augustus, Renault, and Corporal Faraday were fighting side by side with more than a dozen soldiers of the Marshal's Elite Guard. They had no memory of how many Zerg they had killed, they were just mechanically reloading, with the assistance of the Power Armor Auxiliary Aiming System.
Shoot, reload and repeat.
In this battle, strategy and skill don't mean much. Augustus doesn't even have to bother aiming, because the number of zerg is so large that a casual shot can hit it. Now, the best and the best
Soldiers are those who can fire a weapon in accordance with their training.
Personal heroism is of little use here, unless one is a powerful psyker like Sarah Kerrigan.
At the beginning, it was mainly Augustus and his men who held on to this side of the fortification wall that had been scarred by the corrosive acid of the zerg. But as the alien dragons and swarm guardians in the sky became more and more
More and more, the soldiers around Augustus fell one after another.
The medics didn't even have time to treat the injured. They could only use the laser wound suture on the power armor arm to briefly treat the injured and then move them to the rear.
Augustus soon ran out of manpower. When the defense line was stretched thin, the Templars of Taldarin came to help, and a large number of dragon knights and high-ranking Templars took over the human positions.
"Did you hear that voice?"
At this time, Augustus and Raynor were standing on the fortification wall and shooting at the incoming zerg below. Below were the corpses of at least two Ultralisks and thousands of springtails and Hydra Hydralisks, but there were more
The zerg clung to the corpses of their own kin in an attempt to scale the wall.
"They are digging holes." Between firing, Augustus clearly heard the sound of chitinous fangs and claws scraping against the metal wall. He immediately shouted on the communication channel: "They want to dig through."
This wall.”
There were Hydra Hydralisks with crimson skin and carapace standing there, as well as their larger, faster and stronger advanced elites in the insect swarm genetic sequence, the insect swarm killers. Their skulls were thickly stacked with bone shields and bright colors.
His crown seemed to be stained with blood.
At least two thousand Hydra Hydralisks and countless springtails are gathering in front of the fortification wall. The most ferocious and bloodthirsty killers among the Hydra Hydralisks are gathering the bone scythes on their forelimbs.
The spine is about a foot long (30cm) extending from the shrunken hard carapace at the back of the head, and densely packed spines eject from it, falling like a rain of spikes on the fortification wall.
These dense spikes penetrate deeply into the fortification walls, making a clanking sound of metal. In the edge world of the Tyranid Federation, this bone spike from the Hydra Hydralisk is even a material for daggers.
It is also the most valuable collection of human soldiers.
"Old Johnny, throw all the electromagnetic pulse grenades up...Flanders? Can you hear me?" Renault realized something and walked towards the ammunition box behind him, only to find that it was already inside
All his men are grenades.
"Damn bugs, go ahead and eat shit!"
The last squad responsible for transporting ammunition has just left, which means that there is not much ammunition supply left in this base.
"When will Duke's men come? Where is the Tychus man? Where has he gone?" Raynor shouted.
"I'm afraid they won't be able to come." As Augustus said this, he looked at the sky. The dark dragons almost covered the moon's brightness.
"Sending a transport plane under such circumstances is just a matter of death. Even the bravest pilots will not be able to send reinforcements and supplies among so many mutalisks."
Augustus noticed that an outnumbered Protoss reconnaissance aircraft was captured by more than a dozen mutant dragons. After a few seconds, the Protoss fighter plane was torn into pieces, and the golden and blue Protoss fighter planes flew over the sky.
They come less and less, like sunshine obscured by clouds.
At this time, the protoss dragon knights beside Augustus provided strong support. Their phase tearing cannons swept through a row of Hydra Hydralisks and beat them into powder.
Beside Augustus, a high-level templar wearing purple sacrificial robes and golden armor moved a few steps in front of him. The blue light in his eyes shone even more. The powerful psychic power was reflected in the dense hydralisk.
The wave created a terrifying ripple of psychic energy, tearing apart hundreds of zerg in an instant.
In the primitive era, the protoss were born psychics. Each member of the group was a "psychic" in the true sense. The spiritual ripples they inadvertently overflowed could be harmful to small animals and weak races such as humans.
deadly.
If the protoss cannot restrain their own will, the uncontrolled psychic energy may even evolve into a terrible storm that sweeps Aiur. It is precisely because of this lesson that every protoss learns when they are young.
He was asked to suppress his psychic powers, and Kara was the final destination of this request.
The High Templars, who rise to the top of Kara's hierarchy of Templars, are the most powerful psykers. They have mastered the ability to use this power through centuries of penance and can guide their own souls.
With great power, the High Templar can transform a series of small mental ripples into a sweeping storm.
In an instant, countless insect corpses, carapace and blood were swept into the air by the psychic storm and fell one after another. All the insects enveloped by it were scorched black, torn apart by the hot and violent psychic storm, and were extremely violent.
The hot skin wrapped around his body and burned him alive.
Psychic energy surges through the bodies of the high-ranking Templars, making them like shining blue stars.
Even the small amount of energy leaking around the high-ranking templar made Augustus feel dangerous. At the same time, he also knew that the abilities of the protoss high-ranking templar were far more than just creating a psychic storm.
Psykers like Kerrigan can already use telekinesis from a distance of ten yards to turn a person's brain into a mush or cause him to die of intracranial hemorrhage, and Augustus doesn't believe that high-level saints
Don Samurai can't do it.
As far as humans are concerned, the higher the psychic level, the more "superpowers" they have, including shifting objects, creating fire, and even walking through walls like a ghost - of course this is similar
The ability can only be seen in psykers above PSI level 8 and extremely special individuals.
This high-ranking templar has been using his power carefully, ensuring that it is used at the most critical moment every time. As the highest-ranking commander here, he is also paying close attention to the situation on the entire battlefield.
The behavior of the zerg digging tunnels under the human fortification walls also attracted the attention of the high-ranking templar, who immediately ordered the dragon knights to concentrate their firepower on the zerg that were immersed in digging.
In the past, any fortress walls built on the ground could not effectively block the attack of the insect swarms. It only took them a while to dig through the entire surface.
And what can form a solid land in the magma lakes and rivers that surge in the Burning Land are the hardest and densest rocks. Even the zerg's tunnel worm network is difficult to dig and connect satisfactorily in the death zone crisscrossed by magma lakes.
Each insect tunnel, this is also the reason why human defenses can work.
Alpha Squadron's new alloy port fortification wall panels penetrate deep into the thick layer of ash and are embedded in the hard volcanic rock. This base is actually close to a real fortress.
But these fortification walls cannot last long. Even if the foundation here is difficult for the Zerg to dig, it is only relatively speaking.
"When will those Dark Templars be able to kill even one Cerebrate?" The thunderous words of the high-ranking Templars rang in the minds of Augustus and Raynor.
"They are too slow, and we have sacrificed too many Sons of Adon for you and their promises." He said, "Is this a... lie?"
"You're on to the point." Renault replied while changing firearms: "But we can only trust the Dark Templar, they are the key to breaking the situation."
"As you can see, a Protoss Templar can easily kill hundreds of zerg, but Char's zerg hatchery can easily create a thousand when he kills them," he said.
"As long as one Cerebrate dies, the zerg in a nest will be scrapped."
"I hope so." said the High Templar. "Then prove it to us."
"I suspect this is a conspiracy, a conspiracy used by the Dark Templar to frame and kill us."
This is not because the high-level templar harbors ill will towards the dark templar. The fact is that he always doubts the motives of Zeratul and others, and suspects that they are malicious towards him. Because everyone born after Adon ascended
An El Protoss is taught that the Dark Templar are evil, "terrorists" seeking to overthrow Kara.
"I can only say that believing in the Dark Templar is the only reason why I am standing here now." Augustus said to the high-ranking Templar: "In other words, the Dark Templar is more important than a fleet.
."
At this time, Augustus also put down the gun in his hand, and felt tired at this moment. As a living person, even Augustus would sometimes wonder why he had to go through so much trouble to investigate.
This is hell on earth for you.
But as long as he thinks of his family, Kerrigan, his loyal followers and their families, their families, and even the survival of the entire human race, Augustus does not feel that what he is doing is in vain.
As he was talking, a miserable psychic scream came to mind in the southeast direction of Augustus and others. This scream caused a tragic resonance among the Tiamat insect swarm in front of the fortification wall. They did not
Rather than feeling sad, the cerebrates of Tiamat's swarm just felt sincerely angry.
The zerg became even more violent. They attacked the Protoss Templar crazily and did not retreat due to the scream just now. The furious Tiamat swarm turned around and overwhelmed several zealot squads and tore them apart.
Facing them, blue light rose into the sky, as if they were souls soaring upward.
"Zeratul and the others succeeded!" Raynor has already experienced this: "I knew it could be done!"
"Dark Templar... They did a good thing this time." The high-ranking Templar felt more intuitively about the whine of the brainworm, and he reluctantly said.
"Just this time."
The location of this cerebrate must not be far away from here, so that they can hear the whine released with strong psychic power before it dies. In front of the Dark Templar warriors who are proficient in assassination, the cerebrate is weak.
Like a child.
Before Augustus had time to be happy, he felt a cold sting in his mind. A shining green crystal jumped out of the storage unit on the chest of his power armor, projecting an image in front of him.
"It's the contact crystal that Zeratul gave you." Raynor remembered.
"Augustus, my Dark Templars and I killed Osa, the Lord of the Deep Purple Nightmare Swarm, and a new-born Cerebrate." Zeratul's head flashed past.
"Not just one? Well done Zeratul!" Raynor let out a haha: "How did you do it?"
"The Cerebrates focused their attention on their tribes on the front lines and their spiritual connection with the Overlord, ignoring the threats that were just around the corner." Zeratul said.
"You taught the Overlord and the Cerebrates a good lesson." Raynor said, "Well done, Dark Templar."
"Thank you..." Zeratul always had a habit of adding something to his words: "I must warn you, Augustus, the Lord's army is approaching."
"I'm listening, Zeratul." Augustus nodded.
"After completely cutting off the spiritual connection between these brainworms and the master, I felt frightened and angry," he said.
"Zergs are the descendants of all Cerebrates, and Cerebrates are the children of the Overlord. The entire swarm obeys the Overlord. The Overlord is like the father of all Cerebrates, and the death of each Cerebrate will affect its power.
