Chapter 578: Boring, I want to see rivers of blood
Slane, this dry, hot, dark world raging with terrible storms is as ruthless as the Tal'darin protoss. It is filled with cruel murders, despicable betrayals and barbaric atrocities, the survival of the fittest, and the strong is respected.
The lonely and majestic peaks of Winter's Gate (Ladder Map) stand in the wind and snow and the tree-like lightning across the dark sky. The rough, ferocious and extremely beautiful Tal'darin Black Fortress is located among the mountains.
Even if the Tal'darin are absolute pragmatists and don't care whether their buildings are as refined and practical as the El Protoss, these majestic and solid fortresses are also works of art with a dark and murderous aesthetic. Even the Tal'darin
The Lins never deliberately modify their buildings, and their keen sense of beauty also flows in the blood of the Protoss race.
Tal'darin parted ways with the El Protoss long after the Aeons War, but this talent was innate.
Look at those buildings that combine grandeur and ferocious beauty. Even the tight lines of cold carvings on the fortress have been sharpened like thin pointed blades, and the bright blood fragments exude blue and red luster. The vertical sharp edges of the fortress
The towering wall stretches straight into the sky, and the sharp spire outline and asymmetrical structure demonstrate the extremely impactful strength and tension.
From the blood crystal spire that stands like a blade to the pass flowing with bright blood-red light, the huge vertical drop is like a gate to heaven, enough to make any creature that dares to step fall to pieces. The spire and blood-red light bridge tower into the sky.
Connected to the battlement towers, it is hidden in the storm covered with snowflakes.
The unparalleled spiers of Blackwinter Pass dominate the skyline of Slaine, and once you reach the top, you can dominate all living beings.
The cold wind blew the blood-red robe of Alarak, who was now the first to ascend, and made a sharp and piercing scream, like swords clashing. Even in the already harsh Slane, the Black Winter Pass is also a dangerous place with severe cold.
In the darkness, the eyes and ears of High Lord Marash must be secretly watching every move of the first person to be promoted, speculating with the most vicious intentions on his purpose of coming to the Black Winter Pass. All the promoted people in Slane are coveting him.
With Alarak's power and status, countless blood hunters are eager to upgrade to the blood of the First Man.
Then let them guess. Lies will not come true as long as they are not acted upon.
Alarak's heavy combat boots stepped on the snow, and he couldn't help but think that he was just trying to act idle so that the high-ranking lord wouldn't think that the first promoted person who was now one person below ten thousand people had other agendas.
.
High Lord Marash is not in Slane now. He is listening to Aemon's teachings in the Temple of Iris on the planet Atrias. In this way, the first ascended one is already the true master of this planet.
But this is not the case. Even tens of thousands of light-years away, the high-ranking lord knows everything that happened in Slane.
Of course, Marash was more wary of Alarak, because the first ascendant was already at the top of Slane's power, and the next step further would be his position as a high-ranking lord.
Not long ago, Alarak was only the fourth upgraded person. In front of him were the first upgraded person, Nuloka, the second upgraded person, Gulaki, and the third upgraded person, Zenich. They are all Rak'shir.
Every Alarak must be extremely afraid of the strong men chosen in the ceremony.
Anyone who reaches the top of the chain of promotions is a fearsome and terrifying warrior. It is no lie that one person can overwhelm an army.
But now, they are all dead, in the last Rak'sir ceremony. The former first person to be promoted, Nuloka, arrogantly launched a long-planned Rak'sir ceremony to the high-ranking lord Marash,
And all the top four seats were involved.
Judging from the results, since Marash is still alive, Nuloka must have failed. That is enough. Tadarin only cares about the results, the process is not important, and no matter how wonderful the conspiracy is, it is just the icing on the cake.
So the person who was promoted to the fourth position was promoted to the first position, and the people who were promoted below him also ascended to heaven.
To this day, Alarak still clearly remembers the thrill of the Rak'sir ceremony.
Before the Rak'shir ceremony began, in order to win over Alarak to ally with him during the ceremony, Nuloka revealed to him a shocking secret that was extremely heretical and rebellious.
Even Alarak feels ridiculous and blasphemous when he thinks about it now. Starting from a low-level cultist, Alarak is a believer of Amon, and this is true for every Tal'darin. As a Tal'darin, if you dare to betray Amon
, that is absolute heresy.
His will cannot be violated.
It has long been known to everyone that the god Xel'Nagaemon, the god of darkness, whom the Taldarins believe in fervently, intends to return to the real universe and destroy this world to end the reincarnation of the universe. By then, the stars will burn out and everything will perish.
Above the ruins and embers of the world, Amon is the only god and ruler.
And Tal'darin firmly believed in this.
Amon promised the Tal'darim that when that day truly comes, they will ascend into true hybrids and rule the world together with the gods.
As for how much the Tal'darin want to become a hybrid, it can be seen from their willingness to become the experimental subjects of Amon and God Narud.
His cold will and determination to end this cycle of corruption are flowing in the veins of the void, and the last day will eventually come, when the great death fleet will destroy all life in this universe in his name.
End the cycle of decay and the world will stop for eternity.
Today, Amon's plan to destroy the world has entered the final stage, and his will is about to revive in the real universe. Tal'darin's death fleet is ready, waiting for the day of ascension to come.
But suddenly Nuloka told Alarak that all the promises made by the God of Darkness to the Tal'darin protoss were lies, and the day of ascension would never come. Because Amon believed that death was the truth and death was ascension.
Eamon named the venue for the Rak'shir Ceremony the Ascension Pit, and those who failed would be pushed into the endless abyss. This is actually a sad mockery, as only failure leads to ascension.
Only the final winner of countless Rak'shir rituals performed by the Tal'darin can obtain the right to ascend, but in Eamon's view, those losers who were buried in the Ascension Pit have already obtained the right to ascend first.
Lies! Deception! Betrayal!
Unforgivable!
Tal'darin, the people chosen by God. This race has served the dark god Amon for countless generations, and will continue to do so.
Now it seems that this is a joke.
Alarak had reason to believe that what Nulok said was true, and that the latter did not need to use such heretical lies to win over people's hearts. This was an act even crazier than heresy, because the first person to be promoted in the chain of promotion actually
Order Alarak to kill Aemon with him! Kill the gods!
Unless Nuroka is crazy, he must have really realized the truth. Killing Amon? Even Tal'darin's power is indirectly or directly derived from Amon. Wouldn't it be ridiculous?
Of course, considering Naion, there is a possibility that he is really crazy.
While Alarak was walking expressionlessly among the steep rock walls filled with terrazine in Black Winter Pass, he was also absorbing the surging energy of terrazine as much as possible.
Terrazine, the Breath of the Creator, no matter what it is called, is the supreme treasure for Tal'darin who longs for power. It can give Tal'darin endless power, and it is also the medium to communicate with the void and Emon. No
Which Tal'darin protoss does not desire power, otherwise, he is not a Tal'darin.
If there is a fool who is a low-level creature and hears strange noises while absorbing terrazine, tsk tsk tsk~ then he must have hit the jackpot.
Whenever this happens, Alarak's connection with the void and Eamon will become even closer. And it was while going deep into the void that Nuroka discovered Eamon's true thoughts - Eamon didn't even bother
Hiding his intentions from the Tal'darim.
It's just that no Tal'darin ever suspected it. If there were, they would all be dead.
But since then, the seeds of doubt have taken root and sprouted in Alarak's heart. Thinking that his lifelong pursuit was just a lie, Alarak couldn't help but feel angry.
In Amon's view, all life in this universe is just a mistake of endless reincarnation. Why do the Tal'darins believe that they are not included in this mistake.
Tal'darin was originally part of the cycle of corruption mentioned by Eamon. And the more he thought about it, many of the previous suspicious things made sense. For example, none of the Tal'darin who volunteered to become Narud's experimental subject came back.
Eamonn treats everyone as a fool.
You deserve to die, Eamonn.
But Alarak knew that if he wanted revenge, his own strength alone was not enough. At the very least, he had to become a high-ranking lord and control the entire Tal'darin.
In order to defeat the current high-ranking lord Marash, Alarak must enlist the support of powerful allies. In this regard, Alarak already has an idea. Most of the Tal'darim support Marash, and they are simply unreliable.
In this case, Alarak decided to use the power of foreigners, because the Rak'sir ritual had never stipulated that this could not be done. Since there was no stipulation, it was tacitly allowed.
So, who can help Alarak defeat Marash in the Rak'shir ritual?
For a moment, Alarak thought of the Terran Empire humans who had had conflicts with Tal'darin, but then he felt sick. Alarak could not possibly cooperate with humans. He wanted to reverse the tide of overturning the world and turn towards Emon.
Revenge, and humans are simply not qualified.
A flood is about to sweep away all living things, and Alarak has to form an alliance with the ants in order to stop the flood?
Even humans have proven themselves to be a force that cannot be underestimated in the war with the Tal'darim.
Human beings are equipped with primitive technology, but they think they are great. Those weak reptiles exude a primitive impulse - fear. Their ridiculous emperor's understanding of war is lame and ridiculous, as childish as a 200-year-old
years old children.
Tsk, Augustus Mengsk. Alarak would not bother to execute such a fool himself.
Humans are not qualified to be slaves.
And the protoss of El and Sagulas actually formed an alliance with humans, which is really a bargain.
Duram protoss is a good choice. As long as you give them a high-sounding savior hat, they will immediately obey them. Although Dalam is flirting with humans, since they have already fallen so willingly, why not obey them.
Cooperating with Duram, they will definitely bring the human empire with them.
Unfortunately, the current Archbishop of Durham, Tassadar, is a true leader, and he may not be fooled by Alarak. In comparison, his apprentice Artanis is an immature idiot.
It doesn't matter, Alarak already has a plan.
Stay calm, be patient, and think before you act.
This is the key to Alarak being the first to be promoted.
"Sir." In the darkness, Jinara, the current second ascendant, walked slowly. In terms of the aesthetics of the protoss, Jinara has a fit and well-proportioned figure, but the shoulder armor with thorns and the waistband
The Blade of Betrayal shows how dangerous she is.
"You're looking for me?"
Her voice was so weak and trembling that if Alarak hadn't known how cruel Jinara was, he would have almost believed it.
Jinara should indeed be afraid, she already knows Alarak's methods.
In the Rak'sir ceremony between the former first ascendant Nuloka and the high-ranking lord Marash, Alarak played everyone. He first declared his allegiance to Nuloka and killed Gula who supported Marash.
Ji, then declared his allegiance to Marash and killed Nuloka instead.
Alarak was indeed a despicable person who went back on his word, but he only violated the customs, not the rules. Now, he, Alarak, is the first person to be promoted.
The beneficiaries of this Larkhill also included Jinara, who was promoted to three seats without even joining the ceremony.
"I'm looking for you." Alarak narrowed his scarlet eyes and stared at Jinara, making a mocking expression.
Alarak admitted that he liked to see the frightened and trembling look of this lower-ranking person, even though he knew very well that this was just an act.
Yes, he just likes it.
Never tire of it.
Alarak's mind was so meticulous that even the protoss who was accustomed to reading minds could never figure it out. He could never understand why the Templars could tolerate Kara.
The Tal'darim are all well aware of each other's dark and cruel characters, and this is probably the only thing that can be understood between the tribesmen. Therefore, it is extremely foolish to talk about the mind of other Tal'darim.
While humans in the Koprulu sector are still fighting for survival, the Tal'darin protoss far away on the edge of the galaxy still haven't given up their intrigues and fight for power.
"Waiting for your order." Jinara knelt down on one knee without hesitation.
Even if she is only one position higher, Jinara cannot disobey Alarak. She is more like a master and servant than a colleague.
"I received reports from the outpost that a zerg army is approaching Slane, and now they have invaded multiple worlds." Alarak was silent for a long time, as if to read Jinara's unpredictable thoughts.
Jinara's intelligence network didn't know anything about such an important matter. The Alarak soldiers walked over to inform them calmly in order to establish their authority.
He didn't take the zerg seriously at all, nor did he care about the gain or loss of one or two planets.
Cold, efficient, and unscrupulous in order to achieve their goals, Tal'darin pursues the path of winning, and the rest is the path of death. Tal'darim only do things that are beneficial to themselves, and sacrifice and dedication are nothing more than coaxing children.
"What is your order?" Jinara did not dare to doubt.
"What do you think we should do?" Alarak said.
"Fight back immediately." Jinara's answer was impeccable.
"It's not a fight back, it's a massacre." Alarak said, "I want to see a river of blood."
"This is what happens when you anger a Tal'darim."
"I want you to lead the death fleet to defeat these bugs and regain the lost ground." He said to Jinara:
"Leave now."
Just like their weak cousins in Aiur, the Tal'darim have also established many colonies on many far-flung planets, all for the purpose of absorbing resources to expand their territories, and to conquer and rule like kings. And they are plundering everything.
After losing resources, most of these colonies have been abandoned. No matter how beautiful they were before, they are now dead.
The Tal'darim are accustomed to building temples dedicated to Aemon on planets rich in terrazine, in order to seek the favor of the dark god.
Nuloka, the former first ascendant, was born on a warm and humid planet.
Not only the Tal'darin protoss, another protoss branch Ihan-ri (Ihan-rii, the Xel'Naga was respectfully called Ihan, the mentor by the protoss) who left Aiur at almost the same time also established an ancient and powerful protoss.
Protoss Empire.
"I will dedicate my victory to the God of Darkness." Jinara said.
Would the wails, pain, blood, and endless reaping of life really please Eamonn?
Maybe God doesn't care at all.
Eamon doesn't care.
"Even if those despicable beasts glare at you, you will disembowel them and throw them to the elemental creatures and Zoanthisk." Alarak showed a cruel expression.
At the same time, Alarak was thinking about how to use this sudden war to strengthen his control over the Death Fleet. Even if he was distracted, he could handle it easily, and he had countless plots and tricks at his fingertips to use allies and weaken the enemy.
He said: "Taldarim takes no prisoners"
I have to take a day off on the 1st of next month. Please forgive me, because I have been suffering from insomnia recently.
——I have to say that the map translations of the previous Chinese server felt very good. When I played, I would imagine what kind of stories would happen in these different worlds.
