This shipping port built on a cliff was once abandoned because illegal cargo would only enter the port through little-known private starports.
Now it has been put back into use after being renovated by the Revolutionary Army Engineering Corps, and has been included in the Revolutionary Army's star map with the new name of Altera Airport, open to any Revolutionary Army army or friendly forces.
The airport has a wide and brand-new apron and a towering transmission tower. All the buildings exude a beautiful silver-white luster under the sunlight.
Halfway down the mountainside is a battalion-level military camp of the Revolutionary Army. The mountains here are high and the roads are far away, and there are few people. The wind passing through the mountain stream brings dissipated high-energy gas, and the entire mountain seems to be covered with a thin layer of green light.
Carpet. These mountains are generally considered poisonous because of the large amount of high-energy gas springs that spew gas and even form a lingering mist among the mountains.
When Augustus heard the news that the unknown protoss fleet had jumped into the Altera system, he rushed from the Camorian gas refinery to the airport in Altera. Two golden-red revolutionary APOD-33s were landing amidst the rumble of their engines.
A pirate with his hands bound by metal shackles was walking down the gangway below, followed by Revolutionary Army soldiers in power armor.
These pirates wore long ivory vests and long leather boots that looked old and tattered, and wore turbans or low-brim hats on their heads. Their captain wore a dovetail-style tights, and a triangular boat hat with gold
The chimera and ship of the line. Since interstellar pirates have been wandering in the edge star area all year round and call pirate ships their home, their equipment and clothing generally look tattered and old.
Some of the pirates were still injured, which was obviously caused by escaping while the revolutionary army was chasing them. The Chimera pirates had strongholds in many places, and what the revolutionary army destroyed this time was just a pirate gas collection station in Altera.
In this galaxy, hundreds of Chimera pirates use a huge space hulk as their base, and use fast small plundering airships to plunder technology and goods. Of course, what they do most in Altera is the business of stealing and stealing.
The Chimera Pirates are a larger force in the Altera galaxy. Their main plundering fleet wandering in the Koprulu sector even has modified battlecruisers. But if they encounter the Korhal Revolution, the largest reactionary force in the sector,
Army, then you can only consider yourself unlucky.
"The haunting pirates can hit them anywhere." Kerrigan twisted her beautiful eyebrows in disgust as she followed Augustus past these dejected pirates.
"Pirates are pirates. They are everywhere and pervasive." When Augustus figured out that the Chimera pirates were just unlucky enough to bump into him, he no longer cared so much about these pirates. He was thinking about the unfamiliar pirates.
The purpose of the protoss fleet.
"As long as the stars and the sea still exist, pirates will not disappear."
"I hope these pirates will have a longer memory," Kerrigan said. "The Federation has given us enough headaches."
Augustus shrugged, and without even looking at the unlucky group of Chimera pirates, he boarded the Little Devil transport ship with Kerrigan and others. Several Wraith fighter jets also took off along with the transport ship.
, these fighter planes with dark red background and gold trim turned into part of the silver meteor shower as they rotated on the horizon.
The transport ship jumped out of Altera's planetary gravity field and headed straight for the Star Shuttle, the flagship of the Tassadar fleet. Looking out the window on the side of the small and round ship where Augustus was, the magnificent and shining Protoss fleet was already there.
Close at hand.
Tassadar's protoss fleet did not intercept the Imp transport ship that Augustus was on. In the past, Augustus often took this ship to visit Tassadar on the star shuttle. Human Revolution
The military's growing friendship with the former Executor of the Protoss Crusade has become well known to Tassadar's followers.
In the outer space orbit of Altera, in addition to the Tassadar Protoss fleet that Augustus is familiar with, there is another golden-blue fleet facing it far away. Judging from their consistent styles, it should
It is also a fleet belonging to the Protoss Empire. And these two fleets are obviously confronting each other.
Judging from Augustus's understanding of Tassadar's current situation, it should be the fleet of the Supreme Council of the Protoss Empire that came to hunt him.
Augustus, who was sitting on the hard-cushioned seat of the transport ship, once again contacted the bridge of the Hyperion as the spaceship he was riding quickly approached the Star Shuttle. At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Ryan, the deputy captain of the battleship, was
Issue a first-level alert order to all decks to respond to emergencies that may occur at any time.
"Lieutenant Colonel, prepare for a space fleet battle in the Altera galaxy." Augustus gave the order to the deputy captain.
"They come with bad intentions."
"Who is our enemy?" asked the vice-captain. "If they start a war, will we join the war?"
"Of course," Augustus replied, "and there is no doubt that we must be on Tassadar's side."
"Yes, Marshal." The vice-captain responded to Augustus' order with a brief reply.
Augustus then asked Lieutenant Colonel Ryan: "Where is Zeratul's Dark Templar fleet?"
"The Protoss Dark Templar disappeared when this strange Protoss fleet appeared, and must have entered a state of invisibility." The vice-captain replied immediately.
"If the fleet of the Supreme Council discovers that there is a Dark Templar fleet here, it will inevitably trigger a new conflict." Augustus nodded.
"Zeratul made a wise choice."
"Stay on high alert, commander." He told the deputy captain of the Hyperion at the end of the call: "You are not only responsible for the fate of the crew of a battleship, but also our lofty beliefs and immortal mission.
."
Augustus then hurriedly returned the command of the Altera Revolutionary Army Fleet to Jim Raynor on the Hyperion, and focused his attention on the two Protoss fleets outside the transport ship's portholes.
"It seems that the internal disputes among the protoss are no less than those of us humans." Kerrigan, who was sitting next to Augustus, said at this time: "It's strange, since the protoss has the ability to connect everyone's thoughts and emotions.
Why does the spiritual network Kara still fall into conflict and civil war?"
"Even in terms of how to understand each other and empathize with each other, the opinions and ideas of the Star Spirits will not be exactly the same." Augustus replied: "The Kara of the Star Spirits cannot dissolve all conflicts. If Kara can be like-minded
They are one body and there is no distinction between them, but as long as they are creatures with independent thoughts, differences cannot exist."
The Imp transport ship sailed past the side of a Protoss aircraft carrier and headed towards the Star Shuttle, the most majestic and gorgeous battleship in the Protoss fleet. It looked so small in front of these majestic and flashing giant battleships, as if from the sky.
Sardines swimming next to a giant whale.
All kinds of beautiful butterflies, needles and saucers shuttled around the giant battleship, and the elegant hull like a work of art shone with bright golden light under the starlight.
The pilot who drove the ship for Augustus sailed into the docking port on the bow of the Star Shuttle with ease, and stopped at a location full of golden Protoss shuttles. Once the gray Little Devil stopped, the two
A Celestial Spirit Phase Technician in blue robes walked towards him.
A fleet of fish-like servants came around the human spacecraft and used ion beams and gravity traction beams that emitted blue light to repair the damaged hull.
Whenever Augustus comes to the Star Shuttle, the ship will be carefully maintained without exception. Human ships are crude and primitive in the eyes of protoss engineers. In the eyes of protoss, humans are still
They believe in the principle that as long as the power of the engine is powerful enough, the spacecraft can fly into the sky, no matter how crude and crude their aircraft are, there is no art or beauty at all.
As for the extremely violent aircraft of human mercenaries and pirates, in the eyes of the engineers of the Protoss Empire, they are undoubtedly a blasphemy to beauty.
"Salute to Aden." Amidst the deflating sound of the hydraulic device, Augustus walked down the ramp of the transport ship below and said to the two protoss phase technicians walking towards him.
"Hail Arden, Marshal Augustus Mengsk." When the protoss calls Augustus, they will still say Augustus' full name and position in an almost rigid manner. This seems to them to be reasonable.
Things that should be done.
"What happened, my friends?" Augustus asked the two Astral Phase Technicians.
"That is a fleet that is supposed to guard Aiur." A Celestial Phase Technician with long nerve bundles covered with golden hoops said to Augustus.
"We don't know who the Executor of this fleet is, but they bear the emblems of the Templar Akiri and Arbitrator Yara tribes."
"Has Aiur been attacked by the zerg?" Kerrigan was walking down the ramp: "Have the protoss eliminated the zerg that invaded Aiur, and can they free up their hands to send out a fleet?"
"We don't know," the Protoss Phase Technician said.
"Where are the magistrates?" asked Augustus.
"On the bridge," the phase technician replied.
Augustus nodded and led Kerrigan and Faraday straight to the bridge of the Star Shuttle. Seeing Augustus walking in a hurry, the two Star Shuttle phase technicians just looked at each other, and then immersed themselves in their own thoughts again.
At work. An ancient protoss Kalani saying still circulates among the protoss kharai class - Our duty never ends.
Through the teleportation matrix inside the Star Shuttle, Augustus arrived in a few minutes at the bridge corridor where transparent crystals and stars were piled on the dome.
"——We are here to arrest you. Then, we will take you back to Aiur for trial." As soon as he walked into the bridge of the Star Shuttle, Augustus heard an arrogant voice. The voice was far inferior to Tassadar.
He's so vigorous and powerful, but he definitely can't be called weak.
"This tone reminds me of that old guy Duke." Kerrigan said as she walked: "The arrogance of the old nobles of Tarsonis is exactly the same as that of the protoss."
"Arrest me? The zerg are destroying Aiur, and you came all the way just to arrest me?" Tassadar's voice sounded full of anger.
"Tassadar, what happened?" Augustus went straight to Tassadar who was standing in front of the bridge star platform. The Templars around Tassadar did not stop Augustus. They did not think that Augustus
Sidu is someone who would harm Tassadar.
Sarah Kerrigan, the human psyker who follows Augustus, may be a dangerous figure, but her loyalty to Augustus himself is unquestionable.
"Who is this human here? Tassadar."
"He is Augustus Mengsk, the leader of the Human Revolutionary Army. He is a brave and upright man." Tassadar replied.
Augustus finally saw the owner of that voice clearly. He was a star spirit wearing a golden-red robe and a hood, with a crystal clear blue crystal embedded on the top of his hood.
"Interesting, your taste in choosing companions is getting more and more incredible. You have touched heresy, and I can feel the stain left by the Dark Templar in your spiritual world. That stain even blasphemed Kara."
"Who is this arrogant and impudent fellow?" Augustus asked Tassadar.
"What an idiot." Kerrigan said with a venomous tone: "Stop looking down on humans, Duke is simply a good guy compared to him."
"Here you are, Augustus." Tassadar looked at Augustus and said.
"He is Arbiter Aldaris of the Supreme Council. As you heard, Arbitrator Aldaris is here to arrest me."
"Don't let them take you away, Executor, you are not a puppet at the mercy of the Supreme Council." Augustus looked at Tassadar and said.
"Arrogance, this is where you speak, human being." The blue flames in Aldaris's eyes shone brighter and brighter with anger.
"Shut up." Kerrigan said: "Don't be rude to Marshal Augustus, or I will let you take a shot."
"If you had a mouth - pathetic fellow."
There was no need for Kerrigan to be humble to Aldaris. She would never look down upon anyone who dared to offend Augustus, whether they were humans or protoss.
For a moment, Aldaris, who was choked by Kerrigan, was almost speechless with anger. The fire in his eyes had never shined like it did today. But as a protoss, Aldaris was even more angry and frustrated.
Nor will he be like Tychus.
"Interesting." Aldaris declared that he remembered the two humans.
"If you still remember the honors you once achieved, Tassadar, we once believed in you so much. We believed in you like the sun and the great Adon." He ignored Augustus Kerrigan and continued to talk to Tassadar.
Dahl said.
"And now you not only failed to live up to our expectations of you, but also allowed these humans to enter the great Star Shuttle. I am here to arrest you! I want to reiterate that you and all your stupid followers
They will all be imprisoned and brought back to Al to stand trial!"
"What does he want to do? Make people rebel?" Kerrigan whispered.
"Everything I do is for Aiur! Once the opportunity is right, I will return to Aiir." Tassadar responded calmly.
"The Dark Templar has had such a profound corrupting influence on you." Aldaris' voice rose.
"Arbitrator, anger will not help solve the problem." At this time, a voice that sounded too young appeared.
A protoss wearing a golden-blue executive robe stood up from behind Aldaris. He was wearing an almost traditional plate armor, and his eyes were as clear as water.
"Executor, you are already so young, but you have already been promoted to the position I once held." Tassadar looked at him and said.
