The bridge portholes of the Hyperion are showing an incomparably gorgeous celestial phenomenon. The whirlpool of time and space is spinning, throwing out blue-purple flame-like flashes, and giant protoss and human battleships are constantly jumping out of it.
, this spectacular scene is shocking and intimidating.
"There is a zerg in front of the port side, 1.6 standard astronomical units away." Sergeant Matt Horner, who was sitting in front of the observation radar, shouted.
"A huge insect swarm vanguard, mainly composed of blasting mosquitoes and devourers, position 310."
"The signals of huge zerg lifeforms were detected on Aier's satellite, and the number has reached 200 million..."
Around Augustus, the various orders and reports never stopped, but it did not appear noisy and chaotic. The rumors who were chatting and laughing just now have entered a fighting state, paying attention to every order and colleagues
their feedback.
"Expand the formation, and the entire fleet will advance towards Aiur." Augustus stretched out his hand to look at his watch: "Sweep away all enemies blocking the road, whether they are zerg or hostile protoss."
The Hyperion's Titan reactor was operating at full capacity, and its twin engines threw the behemoth toward the planet Aiur hundreds of millions of miles away.
On the left wing of the Revolutionary Army's flagship Hyperion is the Alpha Squadron's flagship Norad 3, and on the right wing is the Nova Squadron's Alander. More than two thousand transport ships, transport ships, frigates, destroyers, supply ships and fighter planes are scattered
In all directions, the brilliant thruster flames were like small comets.
Each battleship carries hundreds of sailors and warriors, and hundreds of thousands of people are determined to die generously for the same will.
Tassadar's fleet is located directly above the Revolutionary Army fleet. Their warships are much faster than humans and their firepower is many times more powerful. When the Revolutionary Army's warships aimed their cannons at the incoming Zerg,
The beam weapons and particle ray guns of the protoss fleet have swept across the vast swarm of insects.
Zeratul's Dark Templar fleet was hidden in the shadows, and they silently headed towards Aiur from the exit of another hyperspace channel.
The Revolutionary Army and the Tassadar Executor Fleet, which were operating at full speed, came into close contact with the incoming swarm within dozens of minutes after their appearance, and the silent galaxy once again ushered in continuous war.
Augustus's flagship, Hyperion, guided all the warships in the fleet, so it was always in front of where the rest of the ships could see it, and it was also the center facing the entire swarm.
Countless ferocious alien monsters surrounded the Hyperion's energy shield, like evil spirits surrounding a tomb. The Hyperion's plasma cannon and laser cannons continuously fired at the insects outside the shield, dense orange
The barrage stretched across the starry sky outside the bridge's porthole window, as if it were a bridge into deep space.
The wreckage of fighter planes and charred Zerg corpses floated in the deep black sky, and explosions occurred every moment. The bridge deck shook with the suicide impact of the mosquitoes, like a small boat in a violent storm.
"Augustus, you should leave the bridge and go to a safe place now." Kerrigan changed Augustus' coat and put on a long cloak: "This place is at the forefront of the Zerg attack.
"
While Kerrigan was speaking, a Devourer mutated from an Allosaurus slammed into the shield in front of the bridge. It was larger than an ordinary Allosaurus and became more like them than before.
Their ancestor, the screaming mantis, was shaped like a fat and terrifying wasp.
Augustus noticed that this zerg was by no means a new individual. Its dark gray carapace and hard elytra were densely covered with burn marks and wound healing scars. It was likely that it had experienced several tragic attacks.
The war has survived until now.
The huge tail of the giant wasp-like Devourer trembled and spat out highly corrosive spore clusters towards the shield, making the already weak shield even darker.
The Hyperion's shields have withstood enough firepower to destroy a battlecruiser. The reason why it has been able to survive until now is only because in addition to its more advanced reactor power supply, it also has void crystals and Xel'Naga artifact fragments.
energy.
"If the zerg can destroy the entire flagship, then there is no point in hiding anywhere." Augustus looked at Kerrigan and said: "We are turning the tide of the battle and are gradually gaining the upper hand. The zerg wasted on the Hyperion.
So many troops that they ignore other warships and our allies."
Kerrigan stopped trying to dissuade Augustus, and she found herself increasingly letting selfish motives cloud her judgment.
At this moment, four Wraith fighter planes traveling in parallel were swooping straight down from the bridge of the Hyperion. Laser cannons were spitting out tongues of fire. The whizzing twin missiles killed the Devourer in the exploding energy whirlwind.
Torn into pieces.
The Wraith fighter plane then turned in front of Augustus, and its orange-red wake drew a beautiful curve and flew towards a large group of silently screaming alien dragons. When one of the fighter planes passed by the bridge,
Augustus could even see the heroic fighter pilot raising his hand to salute him.
A golden-blue Protoss aircraft carrier appeared on the starboard side of the Hyperion. It deployed its own shield position to include human warships within its protection range. A large number of dense carrier-based interceptors came from the aircraft carrier's dock.
They surged out, like wasps pouring out of their nest, drowning the insects in an instant.
The Hyperion finally tore a hole in the dense, black mist-like swarm of insects, and every time the revolutionary fleet in a pointed cone-shaped attack formation moved forward unswervingly for a certain distance, the gap would become wider.
big.
Even though they were huge in number and came like moving waves and tsunamis, these zerg were still just a small remnant left after the battle with the main fleet of the Protoss Empire, but they still made it difficult for the combined fleet to deal with it.
"Where are our reinforcements?" Raynor was always as calm and calm as Augustus, but he was still not very calm: "Where have the other protoss fleets of Aier gone?"
"I'm afraid the Supreme Council thought we were here to take advantage of the situation." Augustus carefully analyzed the attitude of the supreme leader of the Protoss Empire on El after seeing Tassadar's return. He firmly believed that the Supreme Council would only take advantage of the situation.
The combined fleet is considered the enemy.
After breaking through the blockade of the incoming zerg, the combined fleet once again narrowed the distance to Aiur through a short jump, avoiding the other two zerg fleets, and after the last jump, arrived at the gravitational field of the planet Aiur.
In the range.
Green Aiur and one of its moons, Sharok, are close at hand.
Augustus turned around and walked to the star chart table next to him, standing next to the golden wolf head logo on the corner of the star chart table. Today's Hyperion has been transformed and renovated many times, from the inside out.
The symbol of the Mengsk family, even the tapestry next to the porthole wall is embroidered with a golden wolf head.
He frowned, staring at Aiur and the flashing red dots on its moons, which represented the number of zerg on it.
The moon of Aiur was an important symbol of religious rituals in the tribal era of the protoss. It was a representative of purity and a symbol of the cult of fanatics among the Templar class. Now, this pure moon has become the breeding ground for
A hotbed of zerg, the abominable alien creatures incubate their eggs in their main nest under the rising gold-like white sand.
"Augustus Mengsk, it seems that Aiur's war situation is more critical than I imagined." Tassadar's avatar appeared on the main screen above Augustus' head, his eyes burning with sky-blue flames.
Breathtaking.
"My old friend on Ayr, Archdeacon Fenix, told me that many provinces and large tracts of land have fallen, and the arrogant Olga tribe's invincible fleet has also lost the sky of Ayr."
"Tell me, what kind of losses have they caused to the zerg?" Augustus was more concerned about the number of zerg.
"The forces of the Protoss Empire destroyed more zerg hives and zerg than the zerg that invaded the Koprulu Sector combined, but to no avail." Tassadar will not cause his allies to change the outcome of the war because it is difficult to talk about the failure of the Protoss Empire.
Make a misjudgment.
"The Templars guarding Aiur defeated almost all the Zerg Hives on the frontal battlefield and once threatened the Overlord, but they ultimately failed to expel all the Zerg."
"Without the help of the Dark Templar, the Protoss Empire cannot kill any Cerebrate, and will never be able to destroy their tribe." Augustus shook his head and said.
"I think we'll have to land on Aiur and join Archon Fenix and the Tal'darim in their counterattack against the zerg, and we'll be assisted by a force of dragon knights from Executor Mojo." Tassadar to Ogu.
Stuart said.
"The original landing location was changed to the occupied province of Antioch, because the Supreme Council had already lost control of the province, and we did not have to break out into conflict with them," he said.
"I have no objection. The fewer enemies we face in the landing battle, the fewer sacrifices our soldiers will make." Augustus said: "You can't escape, Tassadar."
"If the decadent Supreme Council can no longer lead the remaining protoss to defeat the Overlord, Aiur will surely fall."
"You are right, Augustus, your wisdom can always enlighten me." Tassadar agreed with Augustus' statement.
"I will personally lead the Templars to set foot on the land of El again."
"Me too." Augustus shouted on the fleet's command channel.
"Immediately deploy landing troops to Ayr. In addition to the two originally scheduled regiments, the engineering corps will also be deployed to the front line." He said: "Every soldier sent to the Ayr battlefield is a hero, and I will continue as always.
The earth will fight alongside you.”
"Vice Admiral Jim Raynor will take over my command of the fleet in Ayr orbit and will be the supreme commander of the fleet."
"Let me come visit you every time, Augustus." Renault lamented, regretting that he couldn't fight alongside Augustus: "Sometimes I want to change places with Tychus."
"That's different." Augustus patted Renault on the shoulder: "I believe that when I come back, Jim Renault will definitely give me a complete fleet, and sometimes even a few more ships."
"But Tychus Finley is different. He will definitely dismantle my ship into parts, and then gnaw on my sofa and pillows." He said: "You are the person I trust most, and
Kerrigan can testify."
"That doesn't sound good." Renault shrugged: "As usual, just call me on the channel if you need anything, and the airborne troops will be here soon."
Augustus found Tychus Finley and Harnak Hank, then walked into the armory, put on the power armor with the help of machinery, and followed the landing troops in the desert outside the province of El Antioch.
Login.
Aiur is a garden planet with dense tropical rainforests. Gem-like rivers and lush forests breed magical animals as old as the protoss. Magnificent temples, unknown and mysterious underground caves coexist with the golden cities of the protoss.
But Antioch is one of the few provinces adjacent to the desert. This harsh natural environment was once a place for the Templars to hone their will.
Most of the area in Antioch is still green space and forest, which is also a natural barrier to prevent the movement of wind and sand. However, by the time of Augustus's army, most of the forests in the Antioch province had been eroded by fungus blankets
.
Augustus' spaceship landed over a primeval rainforest that had not yet been corroded by the zerg carpet. The airflow raised by the thrusters blew the emerald green ferns, and landed in front of the ancient Xel'Naga temple.
Hundreds of spaceships landed in the forest, and battalions of revolutionary soldiers filed out of the huge transport ships.
As soon as Augustus stepped out of the gangway of the transport ship, he saw the protoss commander Phoenix Archon who was still fighting against the zerg in the Antioch province. He appeared in the form of a dragon knight.
It is said that Grand Archon Fenix walked directly across the seven zerg secondary main hives from his base to the revolutionary army landing point. With thunderous fury, he destroyed all the zerg in the way and destroyed all the main hives.
They all turned into ashes.
Protoss Empire Archon Phoenix and his army were welcomed by the Revolutionary Army's landing force. Even though the Revolutionary Army still had doubts about the Protoss Empire's commander, Phoenix quickly met Augustus, the commander-in-chief of the Revolutionary Army.
Mengsk, and was received by the latter with the highest courtesy at the Marshal's headquarters at the landing point.
"I am Archon Phoenix, the administrator of the Templars." Archon Phoenix is a Templar with a golden dragon knight armor. He confessed that he was seriously injured in the battle to guard Antioch and had to
He returned to the battlefield with the help of the Dragon Knight mecha. He joined the human landing force of Augustus at Tassadar's request, but his words did not contain the usual arrogance of the protoss.
"Archon Phoenix, I am honored to fight alongside you." Augustus waved away his guards to show that he did not think that Phoenix could be, or even just a potential enemy.
"Thanks to your help, human beings are as brave and fearless as the Templars." Phoenix could feel that Marshal Augustus respected him very much, and this was by no means disguised. This surprised him even more, and his heart
I was in awe of him.
"The glorious and arrogant Protoss Empire inevitably declined, and Aiur became a devastated ruin." He continued.
"But precisely because of Tassadar and your arrival, we have not lost hope."
