There had just been a brief heavy rain in the sky, and a few rays of pale sunshine emerged among the accumulated dark clouds. The strong wind blew across the dirty ground covered with deep purple fungi, and the howling wind was like the wail of the dead.
Several fanged monsters with wide open mouths ran at incredible speeds in the mud pit filled with sewage, as if jumping in the splashing mud water. They were quickly knocked down by a series of dense tongues of fire and grenades, and struggled
He fell down in the deep pit created by the shell, bleeding freely, and the terrifying roar could be heard endlessly.
"SCT.2489.1.21.14:23, 22 degrees north latitude... This image will be added to the final archive database." Augustus held a P220 pistol in one hand and exploded a dark brown carapace.
The springtail, watching it being beaten to pieces by the explosive bullets, lost control of its body and fell to the ground with inertia.
This reliable electromagnetic pistol was born out of the P180 of the old era. It also seemed backward and outdated during the first total war, but it is not intended to be a reliable weapon that has won praises from soldiers. No matter how dangerous the environment is, the P220 has never jammed or jammed.
Passed the misfire.
The weapon in Augustus's hand came from a revolutionary second lieutenant who was killed when he invaded the main nest of the Grund swarm. He was an outstanding officer in his twenties and seventies. He followed him when Korhal fell.
The second lieutenant who was born in Stillling didn't say a word when he put on his military uniform, and he didn't say a word when he was dragged into the wormhole full of spikes.
About a squad of Revolutionary Army soldiers stepped forward. Two huge Revolutionary Guards Goliath armed robots stepped forward over a Vulture car that had been cut into pieces. Every step made a mark on the muddy land.
A deep pit.
The 30mm cannons of these giant Goliaths will be loaded with broad shoulder armor plated with golden wolf emblems, and each bright red flag on the cockpit guides the direction of the rear troops.
In the other direction, maybe only a few dozen steps away, Augustus heard the sound of dense rocket launches. A group of revolutionary soldiers from the 106th Infantry Battalion pressed down from Augustus' left side.
When they went up, they were severely damaged by the Jormungandr swarm during the attack and had to retreat to the opposite side to rest. However, before the troops could be replenished, this infantry battalion with only more than a hundred people left joined the battle again.
Looking ahead are two battalions of the Guards Division of the Revolutionary Army. A skirmish line several miles wide separates the flat ground infested with zerg blankets and organic structures. To the right, a mile away is a large, fast-flowing river.
, which was once the largest of the densely packed river system of Ayr's tributaries, has now begun to shrink and dry up, only washing the bones of the dead when the rainy season arrives.
On the road leading to the Overlord, it can be said that there are corpses everywhere. Huge intelligent war machines of protoss collapsed on the ground can be seen everywhere. As for those seriously injured or dead protoss, they have been redirected back to the nearest fleet and star.
In the spiritual hub.
When he looked over again, the huge body of the Overlord of the Swarm was already in front of him. Augustus seemed to be walking towards a high mountain. When viewed from a distance, this mountain was already towering over the world, tall and steep.
The closer you get, the more majestic and incredible it becomes.
The insect swarm master is shaped like a super beetle covered with a brown-black carapace, or a flesh-like flower bud covered with metallic armor. The spikes, which are harder than metal and sharper than skyscrapers, stretch straight out.
Sky. Tychus Finley creatively described it as a pore on rosacea, and Harnak Hank called it a turd.
The body that dominates the sky is hidden in the boiling steam clouds and storms, which all come from an ocean that has been evaporated by the protoss purification beam. The huge wounds and the burns left by the protoss plasma weapons are visible to the naked eye.
trace.
Thousands of gorgeous and light golden protoss fighters shuttled through the clouds and mist, and blue or white particle energy beams densely woven into a shining net. The pirate ships of the Dark Templar also joined the battle, and they were extremely impactful.
The shape of Xing's gun blade is unique compared to that of El's cousins.
The closer you are to the main nest area where the Overlord is located, the smaller the number of the human revolutionary army is. This is not because the revolutionary army suffered too many losses, but because in a huge war covering half of the continent, hundreds of thousands of people were nothing but
A pebble fell into the water. Even the protoss outnumbered humans, not to mention the swarm of insects that covered the sky and closed the sun.
But no protoss will ignore the sacrifices of humans and every victory they achieve. Even the most indifferent Templars have to admit that the Revolutionary Army is the bravest and best-fighting humans they have ever seen, and they are worthy of the name of warriors.
"They are about to succeed." Augustus took out a loaded magazine from the ammunition unit of the power armor and loaded it. He once again confirmed the report on the HUD display panel of his helmet and informed the entire army of his words.
:
"The last road to the Overlord's location has been opened, and victory is close at hand. All troops will immediately evacuate outside the main nest building, build a defense line... and leave the stage to the protoss."
"The big one is coming." Tychus, who was standing there, shouted. His burly body in custom-made power armor stood beside Augustus, holding a heavy-duty gun with a hot muzzle in his hand.
machine gun.
"Smashing bugs - oh yeah~ I love this feeling.
"The protoss who have broken through to the main nest area are preparing to release an unprecedented psychic storm. According to the estimates of the Amerigo science ship personnel, the scale of the storm will be 50,000 times that of a tactical nuclear bomb. The size of an apocalypse-class nuclear bomb
Two thousand times." Kerrigan, wearing a blue and white ghost refractor suit, said.
"After all, almost all the protoss warriors who are still alive in El are here. They are so numerous that they are said to have assembled multiple powerful fanatic legions, the arbiters of the Supreme Council and the Heart of Sandiaton (an interstellar
The high-level Templars from the Conflict for Hegemony map also joined the battlefield."
Most of the Arbitrators of the Protoss Empire are powerful psykers. If not, it would be difficult for them to maintain their true intentions deep in the whirlpool of the psychic network Kara, and they would not be able to hide their deep thoughts as politicians.
The Heart of Arden is a sacred cemetery where Arden's comrades in the Golden Age are buried. The air is filled with the powerful psychic power of these deceased Templars, and the high-ranking Templars guarding it are also the most outstanding. Even if
With the Protoss Empire in a precarious state, the defenders of the Heart of Adun also resisted countless attacks from the zerg.
It is said that the souls of the dead Templars still float in the sky above the cemetery, and their power blesses the protoss warriors, making them stronger than ever.
"Let's fight." Augustus looked towards the direction of the main hive area. Under the desperate and even suicidal attack of the protoss, a gap was briefly torn out in the Zerg's defense line. But that didn't mean that
The swarm is retreating. At least two billion zerg are gathering around the Overlord, and more are still in the underground hatcheries.
If Tassadar had not activated the sealed colossus and mothership at the suggestion of Augustus, the Supreme Council would have followed suit after the initial results. Without the support of these powerful weapons, the protoss and human alliance would have
The time must have been lost long ago, and that would definitely lead to Tassadar driving the Star Shuttle into the Overlord alone and dying together.
Now, they have enough military power to try other methods.
At this time, a huge light spot appeared in the sky, shining unusually even in the daytime. It was a heavily damaged protoss aircraft carrier, and it was falling to the earth in bright flames. A large number of alien dragons
, the Swarm Guardians and Devourers are surrounding it.
Finally, when Augustus looked at the aircraft carrier, it had disintegrated in the air. As the core crystal matrix exploded into a brilliant blue flash, the wreckage fell to the ground and caused a huge explosion.
On average, one or more magnificent battleships fall from parallel orbits every few minutes, which means that the cruelty of fleet battles in orbit is no less brutal than on the ground.
"Don't stop, keep moving forward. Kurovsky's troops are not far away from us." Augustus said as he continued to move forward with the troops.
Augustus originally went to the front line in a command vehicle, but with the targeted attacks on such vehicles by Sliphon and Berog swarms, he had no choice but to choose a vulture vehicle or walk.
Valley Widow
Since most of the zerg in front have been cleared away, only sporadic zerg emerging from the tunnel worms are still harassing the human soldiers.
As we get closer and closer to the Overlord, a golden-red command center is already in sight. It is a steel building with rust-colored and golden roof beams. The coils and orange-yellow lights of the radar base station are like a glowing halo.
.
Surrounding the command center are shade shelters and supply storage points made of withered tree branches. Wounded soldiers with bandages are receiving new clothes, blankets and clean and pure filtered water.
The soldiers who no longer have to fight are still anxiously discussing the battle on the front line. The wounded are constantly being transferred here. Some of them have lost their hands or legs, and some have bandages on their eyes. The young soldiers are calling their mothers, and the older ones are
Some are asking about how their families are doing.
These wounded will continue to be transferred to hospitals further behind and even to the rear bases in the Midlin Peaks. Thanks to the advanced medical technology of Protoss, even the most serious injuries will be properly treated and the mortality rate can be reduced to a minimum.
.And if the soldiers of the Human Revolutionary Army lost their limbs in the war, the protoss would be happy to install mechanical limbs on them.
These mechanical limbs are much better than all human mechanical prosthetics, and the maintenance life is very long compared to humans. However, if they need to replace these mechanical limbs, they may have to seek help from the protoss.
"We must ensure that all the wounded can receive timely treatment. As long as they can be sent to the Protoss as soon as possible, everything will be fine." Augustus said to a doctor.
Most of the population of the Protoss empire is made up of engineers and scientists of the Khalai class, including doctors, because during the Golden Age and for many centuries thereafter, the Protoss were in conflict with other unknown civilizations and races, and the casualties were high.
It was inevitable. It was not until the promulgation of the Laws of Dawu that the protoss banned weapons of war.
"The psychic energy near the Overlord is soaring, and the PSI index is rising exponentially. Boss, I think our sensor array that detects the psychic energy index has been damaged because it cannot handle so much information." In August.
When they all arrived in front of the command center, Victor Kaczynski from the engineering group was telling him what was happening.
"We haven't yet figured out whether it comes from the Overlord or the Protoss, but it is obvious that the Protoss is taking action."
"No matter whether the equipment is still working or not, we must keep a close eye on it." Augustus followed Kaczynski into the command center, followed closely by Tychus and Kerrigan.
"The Protoss Templar and the Dark Templar are working together to release a powerful psychic storm, which is something their ancestors have done before. Even if they have not practiced it, with the protoss' control over spiritual energy, this is
It’s not difficult at all.”
"Research shows that there is no difference in the nature of the psychic energy used by the El Protoss and the Sagulath Protoss, but when combined together, they can inspire more powerful power. If the Protoss uses this on weapons, it will definitely
It will be quite amazing." Kaczynski said as he walked.
"On the land more than thirty miles away from us, the most incredible supernatural phenomenon to date is taking shape. The protoss is a race with universal telepathy, and the power they gather together is enough to cause shocks in the void."
"Oh - I never knew you had research on psychic energy and the void, Victor, so what does this mean?" Augustus said as he took the escalator to the command room.
"I don't know, but I think the Dark Templar might be able to sense it." Kaczynski spread his hands and said, "After all, there are almost no systematic psykers in Moria, and I don't know much about it."
"A storm is taking shape." Kerrigan's green eyes have unconsciously turned to gold, which comes from some kind of keen perception of spiritual energy: "I can feel the anger and determination of the protoss.
, pre-war hymns are being sung in the kara, and the Dark Templar are filled with cold fury."
"Can you capture the scene?" Augustus looked at Kaczynski.
"It's very difficult." Kaczynski raised his sunken eyes: "All spacecraft and equipment that were too close there were detonated by the surge of psychic energy, even if it was destroyed by this psychic storm.
A single ray of leakage is enough to blind our best and most powerful psychic agents."
"I'm trying to access images from orbiting satellites."
"But that doesn't include me." Kerrigan shook her fiery red ponytail.
"That's right, Mrs. Mengsk," Kaczynski said.
"You said the wrong thing," Tychus reminded Kaczynski unhappily.
"You're right." Before Augustus could say anything, Kerrigan immediately patted Kaczynski on the shoulder.
"Can you contact Tassadar, or Artanis and Phoenix?" Augustus asked next.
"I'll try." Kaczynski brought Augustus to a console.
After a while, Protoss Empire executive Artanis, who was commanding the Templar troops on the bridge of a mothership, appeared on the screen.
"The war situation is too unfavorable for our soldiers. My troops suffered heavy losses." Artanis said:
"I have to regroup my troops."
"It sounds bad, Artanis, how are you doing there?" Augustus asked immediately.
"We are trying to use the power of twilight to kill the Overlord, but its minions are coming at all costs."
Immediately afterwards, pictures taken by orbiting satellites also appeared on the screen. Incomparably shining green and blue lights occupied both sides of the screen, and the two colors of light converged into deeper blue and pure white in the middle, as if a supernova was in progress.
break out.
The picture on the screen was interrupted from time to time, flickering non-stop, and various instruments made clicking sounds that were on the verge of collapse.
