The Taldarin in the ice-blue life-sustaining liquid in the Dragon Knight mecha's tank seemed to be in the ocean, with some glowing white bubbles flashing in front of his torch-like eyes.
"You want Tassadar to disobey the order of the Supreme Council and refuse to step down and hand over the command of the fleet." Taldarin immediately read the direct meaning of this passage in Augustus' superficial thoughts.
Meaning - the true thoughts of this human heart are self-evident.
"That's right." Augustus watched as Taldarin's long dragon knight mechanical limbs crossed several huge black rocks and stopped uneasily at the edge of the crater.
Taldarin's reaction was the same as that of the Templars present: shocked, shocked, and at a loss.
For the high-ranking Templars, this is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. Executor Tassadar is considered an outstanding leader comparable to Adon. He is wise and knowledgeable, and is passionate about the people and system he wants to protect.
.
Tassadar has been regarded as the most outstanding military leader since he became the Executor. He is also the most tolerant wise man and mentor. But after the Supreme Council decides to put Tassadar on trial, this respected Executor will
Lose all glory and even suffer humiliation.
Never before has an executive officer in charge of a fleet been brought back for trial during a war. This is not only a huge damage to the reputation, but also puts the person on trial in an humiliating position.
The people of the Protoss Empire will not be told that Tassadar disobeyed the orders of the Conclave out of pity for humanity. He will only become a sinner, a Templar who dared to disobey the orders of the Arbitrator in the Conclave.
"Have things really reached the point of no return?" Taldarin walked past Augustus and Zeratul, and his voice reflected in their minds was like waves in the wind, with waves crashing.
The roar of boulders.
"I still can't understand the actions of the Supreme Council." Even Zeratul didn't believe his own words: "Maybe this is the foresighted consideration of the arbitrators and other irresistible factors."
"The Conclave cannot tolerate an Executor who would disobey the orders of the Conclave, because it was Arden who disobeyed the order to execute our ancestors, and the ancestors of the Dark Templar were able to flee to Thagu, the star of the Eternal Dawn.
Lars.”
Although the history of being expelled from the Conclave made the Dark Templar disgusted and resented him, Zeratul still did not believe that the rulers of the Protoss Empire would issue such an order without any long-term thinking.
All Templars believe that Arden is a perfect, glorious hero, but he once disobeyed the orders of the Supreme Council, protected the ancestors of the Dark Templars and taught them how to use the forgotten Void energy.
.
"No matter what, you will have to return to Tassadar to find out." Augustus said.
"You can leave Char in our spaceships." Zeratul took over Augustus' words and said: "These spaceships are equipped with ancient and advanced Xel'Naga technology and stealth devices, which can send everyone out.
Char.”
"Aren't you leaving with us?" Raynor was very smart. Considering the conflict between the Dark Templar and the Templar, he immediately understood Zeratul's approach.
"Fellow Templars will not welcome us." Zeratul made a farewell gesture to Tal'darin: "May Adon protect you."
"...I'm afraid it's not just as simple as being unwelcome." Tal'darin put away his uneasy mood and listened carefully to what Zeratul said before saying.
"After Adun, all the protoss in the Protoss Empire were inculcated with the knowledge that the Dark Templars were evil and the terrible legends about it." Tal'darin read Zeratul's concerns from his mind,
and expressed understanding.
"Even Tassadar has been greatly affected. His choice to cooperate with the Dark Templar may just be the best choice in a war situation."
Tal'darin is one of the very few protoss who survives in the Age of Adun and knows the truth about the Dark Templar's exile. If he is the one who leads the landing army, Zeratul's Dark Templar will draw their swords as soon as they meet.
.
"What do you mean, when can we leave this hellish place?" Tychus threw the cigar on the ground, crushed it, and spat.
"If that's what you've decided, you'd better hurry up. This smoky damn place is about to give me prickly heat on my ass, the air here is terrible, and the sun can kill you.
"
"Who made you smoke and drink in the power armor all the time?" Renault complained: "Tychus, the doctor has been reminding you that you may suffer from lung cancer or other difficult diseases."
"The spaceship is right next to it." Zeratul was not displeased by Tychus's rudeness and rudeness, because this muscular Tyranid man was the image that the protoss had always recognized of humans. He was greedy, cunning, and excessive.
Intemperate, selfish, cruel, cruel and vicious.
Augustus and Raynor constituted the only positive image of the human race in Zeratul's impression.
As Zeratul spoke, several dim black protoss spacecraft appeared in front of Augustus and others in the distortion of light. They were the strange spaceships they had seen in the high-altitude orbit of Char before.
Compared to the golden-blue spaceships of the Templars, the Dark Templars' spaceships appear restrained and low-key, and pay more attention to stealth and detection and interference technology. This is to cope with the pursuit of their Aiel kin. However, these are not
The inconspicuous black spaceship is also full of artistic beauty.
The hatch of the spaceship opened with the melodious whisper of the crystal matrix, and a soft green light shone inside. Tychus took the lead and headed straight for the spacecraft without taking any notice.
"You still want to stay in Charles? There are many dangers here." Augustus
Although the Protoss ships can load passengers directly through the warp matrix, they also have ramp entrances composed of openable shaping energy curtain walls and light bridges.
"We must stay here to monitor the Overlord and Cerebrates, looking for opportunities to kill them." Zeratul replied: "This is the duty of the Dark Templar, and this is the mission of the Nerazim family."
Zeratul's psychic voice sounds deep and magnetic, perfectly in line with Augustus's understanding of the voice of a wise elder. He is the kind of elder who has countless experiences and stories as soon as he hears it.
He is the kind of kind old man who can make noisy children calm down and listen when he tells stories.
"Elder, we will definitely have a chance to meet again." Augustus always called Zeratul "elder", which is another consistent name for this dark patriarch.
The fact that Zeratul would stay in Char was also acceptable to Augustus, which meant that he at least had a precise location to know about him.
"Dark Priest Zeratul, maybe you can ask Raszagal for help." As Tal'darin prepared to hitch a ride on the Dark Templar and leave, he asked the dozens of people still in Char's low-Earth orbit.
The spacecraft gave the order to retreat.
"If more Dark Templars can join the fight against the zerg, we will have a chance to kill more cerebrates."
"I will consider this suggestion." This is undoubtedly Zeratul's self-effacing statement: "I have been away from my hometown for too long. I don't know if the people of Sagulath still remember their brother."
After saying goodbye to Zeratul for the last time, Augustus and Raynor walked into several ships of the Dark Templar, accompanied by the Marshal's Guard and the high-ranking Templars of Tal'darin.
The interior of the Dark Templar's ship looks no different from the Xel'Naga ship Void Seeker, except that the light source inside is more abundant.
The cabin is filled with huge dark black metal seats and futon-like dark purple silk cushions. In the recessed alcoves on the four walls of the cabin are placed green crystals carefully carved by Dark Templar craftsmen. These crystals are similar to moxa.
There are certain differences between the deep purple and blue Kedarin crystals of Er Protoss, but they can also provide energy for ships.
There is no pilot in the spaceship, but the operating system is not much different from that of the El Protoss, and the words and numbers used have not changed. After all, the Dark Templar is also a branch of the Protoss Empire.
Several spaceships took off amid a burst of matrix resonance, pushing aside the dense ash clouds of Char space and heading into space.
At this moment, Zeratul has become a black spot in the strong wind in the mountains. Above the dominator's hive are the flying zerg creatures that cover the sky, hundreds of millions of king worms, mutalisks and swarm guardians.
It is accompanied by a Leviathan that is like an asteroid and jumps into the wormhole in the sky.
From a high altitude, it looks like black smoke pouring into a black hole.
The Dark Templar's spaceships travel at extremely fast speeds, and they silently pass through the several layers of flying zerg creatures in Char's high-altitude orbit in a stealthy state.
When entering the reconnaissance range of the expeditionary fleet at the edge of the galaxy, these ships were quickly detected and almost locked as hostile targets by the weapon system.
While waiting for the spaceship to arrive at the fleet, Augustus rested for a while on the seat cushion of the spaceship.
At this time, Augustus realized that the stimulant injection he had taken last night was about to expire. When the headache and dizziness were about to hit him like a mountain and a tsunami, he gave himself another injection.
Augustus had to regret his decision for at least two days afterwards, but he absolutely could not fall at this moment.
Augustus realized that compared to the extreme fatigue and severe headaches caused by the side effects of stimulants, the excitement and refreshment of stimulants were simply intoxicating. This is why Lisa Cassidy became addicted to it.
, if humans can develop an enhancer with no side effects and smaller effects, then it will definitely be welcomed by the military.
He sat on the seat cushion in the cabin for a while, and almost immediately calmed down. The seat cushion was releasing some kind of negative ions with a calming effect, which was necessary for the Dark Templar to meditate.
Almost no bumps were felt. When the light curtain hatch of the spacecraft opened again, the light from the Star Shuttle immediately shone in.
"Damn, this is a palace made of gold? Maybe I can exchange this for a lot of money." Tychus's eyes immediately shone when he stepped on the deck of the Star Shuttle dock that seemed to be made of gold.
"This is really - a miracle..." When Tychus uncontrollably started to do his job of petty theft and stealing sheep, Renault, Corporal Faraday and others made a sound of exclamation.
If human battlecruisers are still limited by the times and technology and must compress the space of each cabin and cabin, then the deck of the Star Shuttle, the flagship of the Protoss Empire Expeditionary Force, does not have the narrow space and dim lighting at all.
Feeling of depression.
The dock deck of the Star Shuttle is unusually wide. Hundreds of interceptor aircraft with butterfly wings are neatly stacked on several wide platforms that are constantly rising or falling. The view here is wide, and you can see it at a glance.
Seeing the control core in the distance and the relay matrix composed of blue crystals, these crystals are like blue neutron stars, constantly radiating wave-like light outwards, brilliant and dazzling.
The ground beneath your feet is also engraved with leaves and curling vine-like patterns using the ingenious skills of the Protoss Kalai engineers. The walls are shrouded in a blue light curtain, followed by exquisite carvings and wooden decks.
Above their heads is not a ceiling but a gradually changing starry sky. The brilliant and charming starlight is cast through the upper deck shaped by energy, giving people a wonderful feeling that they belong directly to the universe.
In the shipyard and the wide corridors leading to other directions, there are hundreds of protoss phasers in blue robes and mechanical servants that look like tropical angel fish. Templar warriors in armor stand like statues.
On both sides.
To Augustus' surprise, Tassadar was waiting for them on the dock.
"It gives me great pleasure to see you, Marshal Augustus." Tassadar said kindly: "General Duke's soldiers have been well received, and the wounded are being treated."
"Now, you are the commander of this fleet, the great Archon Taldarin." He said.
Since Khas, the founder of Kara, established the original order after the turbulent eons of catastrophe, the Arbitrator class has been the ones who defined the law and issued orders, and the Templars as warriors are the executors of these orders. They are only
Just someone who carries out orders.
"It sounds like this Supreme Council is as unreasonable as the Federation Council." Tychus lit a high-end cigar imported from Antiga Starport during this interval.
The quality of the cigars Tychus smokes can tell us about his recent financial status. When he is short of money, Tychus doesn't know what good people would do, but he knows what bad people do.
Usually, Mr. Tychus is not in a good mood at this time, especially after being left in Char for so long.
"Those in power only care about whether their authority is damaged and do not want to hear even the slightest voice of opposition."
