"If at the last moment, we have to draw swords with the Supreme Council, the help of Artanis and the Akiri tribe will be essential." Tassadar was very happy that the new executive officer Artanis stood by him
This side.
"Aqili has always been a strong man and leader among the Templars, and their support is essential." Phoenix also said.
"Once a war begins with the Supreme Council, what will be the comparison of the military strength of the two sides? Will we be able to take the initiative on the frontal battlefield? Otherwise, we must rely on the help of Zeratul and the Dark Templar." Augustus touched on holographic projection tactics
The map console is thinking about the march route from the southeast of Antioch to the heart of the Council of Koshaka.
"The Origa tribe, the Yala tribe, the Velari tribe, and the Frignax tribe stood on the side of the Supreme Council. Sirak, the guardian of the Xel'Naga Temple, refused to take a stand. Only Sagas and Aki
Here to support us," Phoenix said.
"The territory of the Fennatil tribe has lost contact with us. It is said that Karai, who last saw the El Hunters, claimed that the Fennatil templars were lost in the endless hunt for the zerg fury."
"I know the character of the Burnatir tribe." Tassadar said: "If the Burnatir templars can be found, they will definitely turn to support us. I hope this tribe has not suffered a tragedy."
"If the Achilles hadn't obeyed Artanis' command, we would have been at a huge disadvantage." Phoenix looked at Augustus.
"The Achilles tribe of Artanis is enough to defeat all the other tribes?" Augustus could only assume this.
"If you add the power of Sagas' tribe, yes." Tassadar said: "Oliga's fleet suffered heavy losses in the battle to defend Aiur. The tribes of Yara and Frignax came from respectively.
The Arbitrators and the Kalai class are not born warriors, only the Valari protectors and high-ranking Templars are a force to be reckoned with."
"However, although the Valari tribe has the best spearmen and brave light infantry in the Protoss Empire, they rarely use heavy armor and weapons."
The tribes and numbers of the Arbitrators are very small, and they are not good at fighting. Among the large and small Templar tribes, only the Akira, Fennatir, Sagas and Origa tribes are the most powerful and the most powerful.
famous.
Although the Kalai class has the largest population in the Protoss Empire, the Frignax tribe is the forger of weapons and the most outstanding craftsmen. Their ancestors were also warlike warriors during the Eternal Catastrophe, so this tribe is concentrating on development.
The Kedarin Anima Crystal can maintain and expand the crystal matrix network of Aiur and even the Protoss Empire, while also joining the battle as a savage warrior.
Among the templar tribes of the Protoss Empire, Akira has always been the most powerful. In a sense, they are even in charge of the military of the Protoss Empire. The Akili tribe has always continued the martial spirit of their ancestors.
, their power is well known in the Protoss Empire.
"Very good, I propose that once Artanis gathers all his troops and the warriors of the Akili tribe, we will immediately move towards the hinterland of the Supreme Council of the Protoss Empire." Augustus locked Anti on the combat map.
The province of Oak is located at the border junction of Koshaka, where the Supreme Council is located.
There is a Protoss Empire military fortress called the Executor's Fortress. It is also the place where the Supreme Council discusses and makes decisions with their Executors, which is equivalent to the Supreme Command of the Tyranid Federation. The new Executor who succeeded Tassadar also
He should be sitting there commanding the huge army of the Protoss Empire, but now it seems that Artanis is personally leading the army on the front line.
"By taking this fortress, we can penetrate directly into the heart of the Protoss Empire."
As he spoke, Augustus paused and changed his statement: "Then press forward to Koshaka's Council Heart and try to avoid contact with other protoss empire armies as much as possible. As long as all the arbiters are killed,
No one will question you."
"A desperate attack while the Supreme Council still thinks they are sure of victory will definitely have a miraculous effect." Tassadar agreed.
On the Conclave's side, they had no idea that Artanis and Fenix had joined Tassadar's camp, and the most courageous and combative generals in the Protoss Empire had turned against the Conclave they had sworn allegiance to.
"But I don't want to and will not kill all the arbitrators in the Supreme Council and let the bloodiest killing since the founding of the Protoss Empire happen." Tassadar sighed at Augustus's thoughts.
"Then imprison them until all is said and done," said Augustus.
If Augustus were Tassadar, then even if he would not cleanse the Protoss Empire, he would imprison all the Arbiters and seize all the power. Considering the possibility of the Arbitrators settling their scores or their supporters being restored
Sex, Augustus will definitely eradicate it.
"Okay." Tassadar couldn't find a better way than this. The fratricide made Tassadar feel extremely heartbroken. After all, the protoss are not human beings. They feel the same feelings for each other and are as one. They will kill each other in the future.
An unprecedented shock occurred in Kara's spiritual network.
"Then let us decide where to launch the attack." Tassadar continued: "The fleet in Aier's synchronous orbit told me that Olga's fleet was not completely lost, even if their strength was
It’s less than one percent of what it used to be, and it’s still enough to drive away the combined fleet.”
"The Zerg also launched an attack at this time, and Aiur's space fell into a fierce melee." He said: "We must resolve the differences with the Supreme Council as soon as possible."
"Soldiers are faster and faster." Augustus also nodded. Just now, Jim Renault, who was commanding the Revolutionary Army fleet, also reported to him the latest battle situation in Aiur's orbit. The fleet in the battle will only be able to send troops to the planet.
A relatively limited military force is dispatched to the surface.
In contrast, the Protoss Empire's Supreme Council and the Zerg were unable to send overwhelming fleets and air power to deal with the coalition.
"This is the battle plan." As Augustus said, he had listed the plan in detail on the holographic projection map: "One of my legions will advance along the floodlight river, heading for Koshaka and Thain.
The border between the province and Antioch, to resist the swarm of insects that may take the opportunity to launch an attack when we are fighting with the Supreme Council's army."
"Another legion and its troops will start from the Elder's Cemetery and go to the memorial road - the altar - the executive fortress line. Relying on the executive fortress, a new super fortress will be built, and as expected, it will cooperate with the orders sent by the Supreme Council.
The first army engages." He said: "Once this army is defeated, we will attack the city of Koshaka."
"I heard Tassadar mention the three Arks of Salvation sleeping under the heart of the Council of Koshakar. We have to capture that place so that we can activate these Arks to launch a counterattack against the Zerg and transfer refugees."
"The area we are in now is the vast virgin rainforest of Antioch, but it lacks a city that can be used as a springboard to attack or to retreat to and hold on to." Augustus said, marking a location with a red circle on the combat map.
"After occupying the Executor's Fortress, the forests to the south of Antioch and the desert to the west can become a vast strategic buffer."
"This is what humans have to do." Phoenix pointed out: "And the task of attacking is left to us, and my troops will be the vanguard - always."
"My templars will fight with humans." Tassadar had long discussed with Augustus the battle plan after landing on Aiur.
"At this time, we must try our best to gather Kalai and the Templars along the way."
"..." Augustus nodded: "I will send a professional army and medical staff to help the refugees in Ayr."
Both Augustus and Tassadar knew that extending a helping hand to the protoss they encountered at this time would cause a lot of trouble. Even if the main force would not stop because of this, they had to separate part of the army to move and
Protect the civilians of the Protoss Empire.
But this is the original purpose of coming to Aiur, not for power or other selfish desires, but to save this ancient land. Even if it cannot save Aiur, it must help the protoss escape from their homeland.
"So, we must also send an army towards the Xel'Naga portal in Ayr." Augustus drew a line between the Xel'Naga portal and the Antioch province on the combat map.
A long red line and arrow.
"This is an airborne force. They are led by my most trusted airborne force commander Zander Max. They occupy the Xel'Naga portal as quickly as possible and open it."
"And that portal will open a passage to the Dark Templar's homeworld of Sagulath. All El refugees will go to Sagulath through this road to seek the Nerazim Protoss matriarch Rasha
Garr’s merciful asylum.”
As he was talking, Faraday, the captain of the Marshal's Guard, who was standing outside the conference room of the command center, reported to Augustus that another protoss commander had arrived.
When the steel door of the conference room opened, Augustus noticed that it was the new executive they had mentioned before, Artanis from the Achilles tribe.
There are many scratches on Artanis's ancient plate armor that shines like platinum, and his once spotless executive robes are also a lot darker. Only his eyes burning with pure blue fire are still the same.
Youshen - young, energetic, full of drive and full of hope.
"En taro adun, I salute you, the great Executor Tassadar, the Grand Praetor Fenix - and you, Marshal Augustus Mengsk, the outstanding leader of the Human Revolutionary Army, a good mentor and friend worthy of my study."
Tanis still called Tassadar as an executive, and as for Augustus, he showed great respect.
"I have gathered the last of the troops I can muster, and they are now under your command, Tassadar."
What could be more worthy of the respect of the protoss than to come to Aiur thousands of miles away to fight for a human race that is so different from humans.
Artanis happened to hear the last words of Augustus when he entered the command center, and inevitably heard the word Aiel refugees. Refugees are human beings, representing those who are down and out and have no food to eat.
The Protoss Empire would never call its people this word. From the time their civilization shone among the stars again after the catastrophe of the ages, the number of people lost due to war and medical treatment has been reduced to a minimum. I don’t know how many centuries it has been.
The protoss spirits are no longer in such embarrassment as they are now.
My noble people have become refugees.
"Artanis, it's great to see you here again. I thought that after that, the Supreme Council would definitely punish you for shielding Tassadar." Augustus extended a hand to Artanis.
The latter, who was at a loss, quickly read the idea of shaking hands and the friendly meaning behind it from the other party's superficial thoughts.
Then, Augustus, who was wearing power armor, briefly hugged Artanis, which made the young protoss executive feel stunned. He didn't know where to place his hands at a loss.
Artanis knew that among humans, this was how long-separated friends celebrated their reunion.
"The arbitrators in the Supreme Council are sometimes just too stubborn and extreme. They are all good people." Artanis does not think that the Supreme Council is a heinous ruling class.
"They are just immersed too deeply in arrogance." Phoenix also said: "Kas once gave the Protoss who initially followed him the responsibility of managing and leading the Protoss Empire to glory. Every Arbitrator has a heavy responsibility on their shoulders.
So much so that they often make inhumane decisions for the benefit of the Empire and all the protoss."
"Perhaps some arbitrators in the Supreme Council will make wrong decisions out of selfish motives or narrow positions, but that is just because they have not seen successful cases."
"Yes." Tassadar also said: "Artanis, thank you for choosing to believe in me in times of crisis."
"I hope your Templars will continue to fight with us in the future."
"Of course."
At this time, Augustus's order for the troops to land in Ayr to march according to the original plan had been carried out. All temporary bunkers and alloy steel barriers built to resist enemy attacks had also been recovered. All barracks and engineering projects had been recovered.
Stations, heavy industry yards and command centers were also lifted into the air by push machines.
Augustus, Tassadar and other protoss commanders left the command center at their feet before it was about to take off. They walked onto the land covered with humus layers in the primeval forest, preparing to return to their troops in aircraft or vehicles.
middle.
In front of them was a large and spectacular scene. The march of one of the human armies alone was more than ten miles long. Heavy chariots and tanks roared through the flat land of Ayr. From time to time, there were human revolutions.
Military gold-red fighter planes and shining Protoss shuttles flew over the sky, and the moving Protoss troops were quickly deployed to this strategic location through the warp matrix network all over Aiur.
Were it not for the fact that the zerg invasion had destroyed many warp facilities and that the Matrix network still under the control of the Conclave had denied access to Tassadar's forces, they would have appeared in the square at the Heart of the Conclave in an instant.
Tassadar, who saw this grand scene, said: "With unity and unity, we will be able to save Aiur."
