Conflicts occur between lightning and flint, and bullets and cannonballs react faster than humans.
Since the areas where the zerg appeared were extremely dense virgin rainforests, the Revolutionary Army soldiers who were ordered to perform offensive deployment tasks had to abandon their vehicles and move forward on foot.
The closest to the guards of the Supreme Council of the Protoss Empire were a ten-man Red Devil special operations team of Colonel Harnak Hank and a heavy firepower team of the 148th Battalion, followed by two full companies of the battalion.
These soldiers are not elite guards, but they are veterans who have followed Augustus on many planets. Their weapons are all standard equipment of the Revolutionary Army: CMC-200 powered armor, agr-14 Gauss rifle, electromagnetic nail gun,
Individual rocket launchers and grenade launchers, and some fire teams will also be equipped with Mark heavy snipers and heavy chain machine guns.
These soldiers can also be supported by operating combat vehicles and armed transport ships equipped with heavy cannons, rockets and plasma cannons. In the dangerous mountains and jungles, they will be equipped with upgraded spider booby-trap robots.
Generally speaking, this equipment is enough for trained Revolutionary soldiers to withstand the onslaught of the zerg swarm and wait for the support of Goliath, arc light tank, Sidewinder hover tank and other heavy firepower, but they have not participated in a direct conflict with the protoss.
They are only about 1,500 yards away from the enemy, but with the agility and speed of the protoss elite warriors, that is just a distance that can be covered by accelerating charge. Human weapons and vehicles are in the eyes of the protoss.
There is nothing to fear at all, they can defeat the Zerg from the front with overwhelming force, and the same goes for humans.
Augustus's order to the soldiers to stop and set up defenses on the spot had a certain effect. Their tense nerves were already prepared to withstand the impact, but the protoss' attack still came too suddenly, too fast and too fast.
Dangerous.
Most of the Supreme Council guards were concentrating on destroying the Berog Zerg in the jungle. Only about ten to fifteen protoss warriors attacked the revolutionary army, which was nearly a hundred times their number. With the assistance of psychic shields,
Even the hail of bullets and bullets cannot harm them at all.
These protoss warriors, only wearing red shirts, broke into the revolutionary army's front lines in the brilliant spiritual light, mercilessly bringing destruction to the lower races in their eyes. These represent the authority of the Supreme Council of the Protoss Empire.
Warriors with martial arts possess more powerful spiritual powers than high-ranking Templars, and their noble Arbitrator bloodline allows them to be closer to the glory of Kara.
At this moment, Augustus could only see the light reflected from the soldiers' helmets in the sun, the flames of the guns, and the shining storm caused by the psychic explosion.
Under the command of Harnak, the soldiers launched an emergency salvo. All machine guns and rockets also opened fire at the same time. The Goliath armed robots striding towards the most critical areas also tried their best to provide
In support, the intensive sound of gauss rifles and grenade explosions attested to the serious challenge faced by the soldiers.
Self-propelled artillery and arc tanks also provided support to the two battalions from the flanks, and the scream of artillery shells filled the sky above the rainforest.
A large number of soldiers were scattered by the protoss elites who were in a no-man's land. Bullets and cannonballs were either stuck in the air or bounced off by psychic shields. The communication channel was filled with soldiers' power armor being crushed by psychic energy.
's scream.
The fighting method of high-level psykers is by no means as simple as rushing into the enemy camp and slicing the enemy's head with a psychic blade. The spiritual power they have honed with the Kara for centuries can give a great impact to the human mind, and the actual
Psychic attacks are enough to tear through armor and obliterate everything.
The battle of psykers is different from the conventional warfare that humans have seen. For example, when fighting humans, these protoss warriors can also use the flaws of human weapons to launch attacks in a very short period of time, such as using willpower to block the spark plugs of rifles.
, or bend the barrel of a human cannon to explode it.
In the Revolutionary Army recruit training camp, soldiers will also receive simulated training in fighting against the protoss, but no matter what kind of training it is, it is extremely difficult for humans with a numerical advantage to win against the protoss, not to mention these councils.
Guards are the best of the best.
"How many protoss can break down our defense line?" Tychus had a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of the combat effectiveness of high-level protoss psykers. Their destructive power is no less than that of heavy bombs.
"What's going on? We came to help these protoss deal with the bugs, and they turned around and killed them."
"Encountered enemy forces in the Mixie Valley of the Flooded River, all combat posts, mobile units, jungle rangers and all armies in the area are gathering towards me." Augustus kept saying on the command channel.
"Notify Antioch Starport that I need them to transport a group of anti-psionic troops, fast!"
"Hell, they won't even think this breaks the covenant, because these bastards don't treat us as human beings at all!" Kerrigan took over what Tychus said.
"Tychus, take my guards and ghost agents to kill those protoss." Augustus looked at Tychus Finley after giving the last order.
"I couldn't be more fucking happy...I mean, as you wish." Tychus had long wanted to roll up his sleeves and do it, but at this time, this rude man was a little worried about Ogu.
Stu's safety: "But what do you do?"
When he was in the federal army, Tychus would never say such a thing. He would only say that you sent me to the front line, so what should I do?
"Don't worry about so much, Tychus." The face of Augustus under the helmet was not pretty. His loyal soldiers were dying, and the bravest ones were buried one after another in the meat grinder of war.
.If this turns into a rout, it will only get worse.
"What are you going to do, kill them?" Kerrigan said as Tychus left with a detachment of the Marshal's guard.
"No one will be spared." Augustus replied: "This punch must be returned, hit them in the face, and the blood debt will be repaid with blood."
Tychus's support was timely. The members of the Marshal's Guard were all backbones and combat heroes from various armies. All of them were loyal to Augustus himself. They deserved better weapons and more rigorous training.
Not only that, but in response to the assassination of the Terran Federation ghost agents, the Marshal's Guard is also equipped with anti-stealth and emp anti-psionic weapons, which also allows these warriors to counter the psychic power of the protoss.
The timely support allowed Harnak's troops to stabilize the front line, and the protoss gradually realized that humans were not helpless to fight back. When the first council guard was sieved by bullets due to exhaustion of his psychic shield,
, the casualties among the protoss began to increase.
At the moment of the conflict, the Revolutionary Army showed no mercy. The artillery and bomber units listed the protoss who were fighting the Berog Zerg as equal attack targets, with a large number of tungsten bombs and 35-pound bombs from the Grizzly bombers.
Intensive firepower coverage was completed within a few minutes, and the massive bombing flattened the rain forests and mountain rivers. The casualties of the three tribes increased exponentially.
The marching order has been cancelled, and more Revolutionary Army soldiers are gathering here. If this protoss army continues to stay here, they will definitely be surrounded.
Humanity's counterattack also attracted the attention of the parliament guards, who immediately mobilized more guards and even a colossus to prepare to destroy humans, completely regardless of who caused this unnecessary war.
The colossi guarded by the council are not the ones Tassadar unsealed, but the guarding giants from the heart of the Protoss Empire Council. They are completely different from the colossi with slender mechanical legs. They are carved into the appearance of the protoss.
Giants.
These giants in ancient battle armor use some incredible crystal matrix technology as their energy source and are equipped with solar ray guns and psychic shields. They are also war weapons capable of destroying the world.
Even in the most critical times, the Supreme Council did not activate these colossi due to tradition and unchangeable rules. But after seeing the terrifying power of the Tassadar Army Colossi, even the most stubborn and disciplined members of the Supreme Council stopped activating the colossi.
also remained silent at the meeting.
The colossus's huge body and terrifyingly powerful ray gun can be said to be devastating to the current human army. No firearm can break through its psychic shield comparable to a battleship. It is also too tall and huge, so that human
Heavy firepower cannot destroy it before it stops destroying everything in sight. Only human fighters carrying nuclear warheads can threaten the protoss colossus.
It's just that the protoss did not use this weapon on humans in the end. This was not because of the Dawu teachings that had been misinterpreted by the Supreme Council, but because of the sudden appearance of Artanis' army.
As Artanis's forces appeared on the horizon, the Executor's unmissable psychic words stopped the war from expanding. It was a flying formation of hundreds of protoss fighters, and they were
Prepare to fly to the battlefield located at the junction of the provinces of Antioch and Sein.
Even Augustus in the distance could hear his angry spiritual voice: "Arbitrator, stop your crazy actions of attacking human allies immediately, otherwise we will annihilate you here."
The Council Guards reluctantly withdrew from the war with humans and soon disappeared in the Arbiter's warp field. The remnants of the Berog swarm had retreated underground, and the Council Guards and the Human Revolution
Both armies suffered losses in this conflict.
A shining golden reconnaissance plane landed in the forest clearing next to Augustus, and the Atanis fighter plane came out of the iris exit in the belly.
"Augustus Mengsk, my templars are always keeping an eye on the army of the Senate. I came when they did such despicable acts." Artanis said as soon as he saw Augustus.
Say it right away.
"How have colleagues in the Council fallen so far? Dawu prohibits the protoss from intervening in the internal conflicts of other races or harming them in any way, but they still do it."
Tassadar and the protoss on the Supreme Council are accusing each other of being the Fallen. Even though they are jointly launching a counterattack against the Zerg, everyone knows that the alliance will not last long. Once the situation eases slightly or the Supreme Council thinks that it
Once they have taken control of the situation, they may not go back on their word.
"This is not over, Artanis, the Supreme Council must pay the price for this." Augustus walked towards the battlefield that had just calmed down: "The revolutionary army will not regard the armies of the Supreme Council and the Arbitrators as allies."
In this conflict, Artanis firmly stood on the side of the revolutionary army, which at least prevented mankind from becoming disheartened.
"The Supreme Council may not care about this, but I swear they will pay the price."
"I will not intercede for my compatriots, Augustus." Artanis followed Augustus and said: "I only hope that we can still fight side by side as we did in the past."
Although this incident had nothing to do with Artanis, he was still grieving in his heart for the trauma his compatriots had brought to mankind.
"Artanis, if the Supreme Council were as sincere and humble as you, then this matter would be much easier to handle." Augustus walked towards his soldiers who were still fighting the protoss just now, and noticed the soldiers' expressions.
The casualties were far beyond his imagination.
"This is not just as simple as my soldiers dying because of them, Artanis, I only understand one thing, that is, the Supreme Council is not worthy of trust." Augustus kept walking for a long time, and Artanis also kept walking.
Follow.
"Do you think this was a sudden conflict or a premeditated attack?" he asked Artanis.
"Perhaps the Supreme Council just wants to teach humans a lesson, reminding them that they should stay safe on Aiur, or simply wants us to leave..."
"I don't think so, Commander. If their attack comes from the order of the Supreme Council, it will never be so simple." Artanis also doubted the motives of this parliamentary guard.
"Members of the Supreme Council will not be children who cannot control their emotions, and they will never act on impulse. This must be to achieve a certain purpose."
"Are they trying to force us to leave in order to weaken the power of Tassadar's supporters?" Kerrigan tried to speculate: "But don't the protoss see humans as tiny bugs?"
"The power of humans cannot be underestimated." Artanis said: "If you can defeat the zerg, you can defeat the protoss."
"Maybe they just want to stir up conflicts between humans and protoss, so as to destroy our alliance with Tassadar." Augustus was also unsure about the thoughts of the Supreme Council. After all, these guys had once discovered that there were protoss.
If he is willing to join Kara, he wants to kill them all. When the zerg ravaged Aiur, he sent an executive to arrest Artanis's master.
"But in that case, they should at least change their clothes."
"Don't the protoss never play tricks?" Kerrigan asked.
"It is precisely because of that that their conspiracy is too clumsy." Augustus said: "In fact, in this case, it will be difficult for us to distinguish which protoss troops are our allies and which ones may attack us.
"
Augustus came to the front line at this time and was silent because of the death of those revolutionary soldiers. Many people's power armor was crushed into thin slices by the power of the mind, while others were torn apart by psychic storms. As for those who died because of
Those who die from attacks on the spiritual level will bleed from their seven orifices.
"They don't deserve to die," Augustus simply said.
