Chapter 525 Taming the zerg and pacifying the protoss
"We will be promoted in battle and loyal to the Blade of Niang!"
The Tal'darin protoss warriors in the ruins of the temple launched a final desperate charge amidst the soul-stirring screams of their hearts. Their strong cloven-hoofed feet burst out at thunderous speeds with the assistance of charging devices.
This was the most desperate counterattack, a desperate battle in fury. There were only a dozen of Tal'darin's chosen ones left, but they faced hundreds of Tyranid Empire marines and the ones behind them.
120mm plasma cannon.
The mental roar contained in the war cries of the Tal'darins was enough to make humans, a mentally weak race, burst into tears, but what responded to them was not fearful mood swings and screams, but bullets and explosions.
First, tracer bullets shot into the air one after another, and then the spread of artillery fire turned everything on the landing point into powder bullets. Flames shot up into the sky, and debris flew everywhere. The Gauss rifle crackled, and the nail-piercing bullets
, depleted uranium bombs and rifle grenades poured out like chains of light.
The intensive barrage of the Imperial army first shattered the Tal'darin protoss at the front into pieces. The latter immediately retaliated, using their equipped ray guns, phase weapons and plasma weapons to beat many Imperial Marines into a molten metal flesh compound.
and molecular state, making them melt like red candles.
This caused clearly visible fluctuations in the emotional turbulence among the human troops, showing that they were not ignorant of fear, but firm will and hatred of the protoss prevailed.
Then came more fierce firepower, the ground trembled in the gunfire, and the hot shrapnel instantly burned the air red. The protoss has a powerful shield, but it is not indestructible.
The dying Tal'darin protoss quickly became depleted. The last powerful Tal'darin high-level ascendant released a terrifying psychic lightning chain from his four gray fingers, clearing a huge swath of the advancing imperial soldiers.
Empty. But then he was hit directly by a Punisher grenade from the Marauder, knocking him to the ground.
The high-level Tal'darin initiate who fell to the ground was not dead for a moment. He was still trying to stand up again amidst the light of uncontrollable bloody psychic energy pouring out of his body.
An Imperial Army plunderer strode toward him. The giant-like steel body was like a mountain falling apart even when it moved. He had iron-black alloy armor with a conspicuous golden emblem on it.
"Those who desecrate the altar will be punished by God. You will not be free for too long." This high-level Tal'darin initiate who was still struggling to death never thought that he would die in the hands of humans. Not long ago, they were just
It's a bug in his eye.
"I will not only smash these rags to pieces, but also stand on them and pee. But now I am still standing here, where is your god?"
The Imperial Marauder strode forward, stepped on the Tal'darin Ascendant's chest, and aimed the Punisher grenade at his thin and slender gray face:
"KABOOM~"
The forty-pound grenade cut off the head of the promoted person, and his fallen body disappeared into smoke and turned into a rising red light.
"Ha tui! For God's sake, these bald heads are really pests in the galaxy. Command, I am Sergeant Major Isaac White, and all the Tal'darim in the temple have been cleared.
." Sergeant Major White looked at the ruined walls that collapsed under the gunfire and reported to his commander.
Isaac White is a veteran who served the Confederacy as a bomb disposal officer during the Battle of Caylin. Due to some accidents that he never wanted to mention, White had to retire from the army early.
After the fall of the Federation, White joined the Imperial Army of Emperor Augustus Mengsk and went through many layers of selection to become a raider. He received double salary and faced double dangers.
Since then, White has followed the newly formed Warfield Legion to conquer all directions, and has visited eight planets in a few months.
You know, it's not easy to become a raider, not to mention that White is also a glorious kill team. Most of the time, this is the honor of Revolutionary Army veterans.
White has his own strengths that make him stand out. He knows explosives and fuses well and is an expert in demolition. At the same time, Emperor Augustus gave preferential treatment to veterans of the Battle of Kailian. This is probably because he has personally experienced this.
The largest civil war in human history.
"Roger, Sergeant Major White, stop advancing and clean the battlefield. This is Marshal Warfield's order." came his immediate superior, Zach Turner, on the communication channel.
Zach is a good and convincing commander who has helped White a lot in the past, otherwise the stain on his resume will not be so easy to erase.
"Yes, sir." As White said, two Reapers equipped with turboprops flew overhead, and he immediately gave a military salute.
Then White moved his heavy body to the side and waited quietly for the Marines behind him to pass by. Medics in white power armor came to the injured soldiers and treated them as quickly as possible.
injured.
Tal'darin's particle weapons are extremely powerful. Even a little scratch can kill half of their lives. Some of the remains even have only a few stumps left. Those soldiers who are still alive will have to face the fate of amputation.
.
Most of White's best comrades are no longer alive, and he only hopes that the souls of these warriors who died heroically can return to their hometowns.
Like their distant cousins in Aiur and Thagulath, the Tal'darin protoss possess extremely powerful technology and magical psychic abilities, and their war craftsmanship should be outstanding among the three protoss races.
Generally speaking, Tal'darin protoss can destroy everything with their spiritual power, but they do not reject the use of powerful weapons and will never care about using any means to win, even if it has nothing to do with glory.
The Tal'darin protoss are undoubtedly the most bloodthirsty and militant among the protoss. They are extremely powerful and tenacious, and have caused considerable losses to the Imperial Army.
Even so, the Tal'darin must accept their defeat on this planet. They are extremely powerful, but their numbers are far from enough, and they lack the support of the fleet. As more Imperial troops land on Sire, the planet is very
Will change hands soon.
This is not the first planet lost by the Tal'darin protoss in retaliatory strikes by the Imperial forces, nor will it be the last.
More than a month ago, the Tal'darin protoss destroyed three human worlds, and now they themselves have suffered the same revenge. Two Tal'darin planets outside the Koprulu sector have been led by Marshal Horace Warfield.
The Imperial fleet was destroyed.
Driven by the will of revenge, the Imperial soldiers fought bravely, eager to take revenge against a hundred enemies. This was also the voice of the civilians in the Imperial world.
In the Federation era, whenever the protoss destroyed the human world, the Federation fleet could only retreat to the core world in despair. However, since the establishment of the Empire, it has never flinched when foreign wars broke out.
This empire born in the war is not afraid of war and does not care about losses. They are the saviors and protectors of all downtrodden humans.
Thinking of this, White could not help but feel proud. He initially joined the army not to deal with aliens and the Federation, but just to have war to fight.
However, even a war madman like him is proud of his status as an imperial soldier. More than once, White received a warm welcome as an imperial sergeant major in the colonies he visited, because they were saviors rather than soldiers.
Comes from the identity of the oppressor.
When the Union Army came, all they got was rotten eggs and shit.
The Imperial Army is no longer as pure as it was in the Revolutionary Army era. Most of them are soldiers from the Federal Army in the past, but their combat effectiveness is countless times stronger than in the past.
At this time, the artillery fire in the distance gradually subsided, and the arc light tanks and sidewinder tanks rumbled past the ruins that were almost razed to the ground.
Before the war broke out, this place was a lost alien city, surrounding a Xel'Naga temple. The people who built the Xel'Naga temple may not be the same species as those who built the city. Countless tall and straight giant buildings constitute the
A giant maze that stretches two hundred miles.
The Xel'Naga are an extremely ancient civilization. They may have existed billions of years ago and are wandering around the universe.
Not far away is the majestic Xel'Naga temple, which looks like a pointed cone-shaped mountain standing on the horizon. The Tal'darin protoss seem to regard Xel'Naga as a god, and they also respect these temples with great respect.
This city belongs to an ancient civilization that may have been extinct for millions of years - if they had not developed into the interstellar age. The entire planet and the species on it seemed to have died overnight, and the truth of Siel's destruction has long been buried
in the long history of the past.
No matter what, Sir has now become a barren desert world with many mountains, covered with magnificent temples and abandoned megacities, with only sporadic surface water nourishing precious oases.
Countless ancient civilization relics are still waiting to be excavated by human archaeologists. Perhaps the truth about the destruction of the Sil civilization can bring some future enlightenment to Tyranid humans, and if the lost technology is properly utilized, it will also
It is of great benefit to the development of science and technology.
However, this is all the work of archaeologists and experts. As an imperial soldier who carries a gun and eats imperial food, White is not yet interested in these so-called alien civilizations, nor does he care about completely sweeping these ruins into the trash heap of history.
As the sound of artillery fire subsided, more fraternal troops passed by, on foot or in various armored vehicles and magnetic levitation vehicles, with flags flying in the wind.
There were many Tal'darin protoss captives in the team, pulling several entire carts. White didn't know what fate awaited these dejected aliens, but he wanted to laugh every time he saw such a scene. Other carts were loaded with
Weapons wielded by the Tal'darin protoss - basically humans can neither make nor use them, but not absolutely.
"New orders, Sergeant Major, the protective engineers begin clearing a landing zone." The next order came from White's communication channel, but it did not come from Commander Zach, but from a female voice.
Carolina Davis is the boss of Commander White. She is a heroic female commander who has been promoted to major at a young age. Major Davis was born into a noble family, but she rarely mentioned it.
"As you command, Commander."
White didn't think much about it. As a soldier, he never had to ask the reason for every order. All he had to do was to execute it to the letter. If he had to ask why every time, it wouldn't be called an army, but a kindergarten.
But White soon discovered that there were too many troops assembled here. Even the Imperial Shield Guards, Warfield's direct unit, came. This battle was rare.
Ten minutes later, a transport ship protected by multiple fighter planes landed in the landing zone. A figure that came out of it left White stunned: Emperor Augustus, the hero of the people.
Two years ago, he was the most wanted criminal in the sector.
The emperor was surrounded by senior military generals, and the famous Red Queen Sarah Kerrigan was also beside him. The queen had beautiful fiery red curly hair and sexy lips, and jade-green eyes as bright as gems.
She was a benevolent queen who lived by her example. She often traveled with the emperor to various places and cared about the people. Emperor Augustus may have married a commoner to break the tradition of aristocrats in power in the old federal system, or to gain spiritual power.
the support of
Emperor Augustus no longer needed to obtain the support of the federal nobles through marriage, because they had basically been killed.
White didn't have time to think about why the emperor came to Siel. Not long ago, the emperor was fighting against the zerg in the Agria star province.
When the emperor walked past White, he immediately saluted like other soldiers. If it weren't for the military prohibition on kneeling to the emperor, the servo system of the Marauder armor was not flexible enough to allow White to do so. White believed that he would have been there by now.
Already down on one knee.
"Sergeant Isaac White salutes you, Your Majesty." White said his name.
White was not a fanatical believer in Emperor Augustus, but it was inevitable that his heart would surge when such a figure stood in front of him. The emperor had his own personal charm that no one could match.
Tame the zerg and pacify the star spirits; the mighty empire will last forever.
"Hail, sergeant," Emperor Augustus said as he passed White.
The emperor nodded to White and stood not far from him, looking towards the Xel'Naga Temple in the distance with the entourage behind him.
"Since there is a Xel'Naga Temple, there may be a Xel'Naga portal here." The emperor said:
"If this portal can be found, it will closely connect the world where Sil is located with other imperial worlds. The protoss also used these portals along with their huge protoss empire, but in our era they have retreated to
Al.”
"Your Majesty, there are advantages and disadvantages to using the Xel'Naga portal. If the portal is used to attack the empire, it will be doomed." The speaker was an old man with a gray beard wearing work clothes.
"Only the Protoss and my engineers know how to use this kind of portal." Augustus always kept his eyes on the Xel'Naga Temple.
"If the protoss do not betray the empire, that is indeed the case." Dr. Narud said.
"The protoss will never betray the empire." The emperor said firmly.
Then, he asked: "How is the excavation of the Xel'Naga artifact fragments in the temple going?"
"Soon, Your Majesty," one of Warfield's naval captains replied.
"In this way, counting the piece of Monles, we already have three Xel'Naga artifact fragments in our hands." Dr. Narud suggested to the emperor:
"Although I don't know how many such fragments there are, according to my research, once all the fragments are collected and reassembled, there may be unexpected effects."
"It could be an extremely powerful weapon."
"Is this really true?" Of course the emperor didn't know the true value of the Xel'Naga artifact, but he still showed his absolute trust in Dr. Narud:
"In this way, the work of collecting artifact fragments cannot be left behind. The Xel'Naga artifact may be used to deal with the zerg."
