Thick dark clouds are rolling over the ocean of Gracius, flashes of golden tree-like lightning are densely knitting the sky, hurricanes are howling, and wall-like waves rise and fall. The ocean is the anger of this planet.
Incarnate, and the formidable ocean never hesitates in her fury.
The storm was about to hit, and the sky turned dark and dark, gradually becoming as dark as night. When the heavy rain hit, only the land and coastline shrouded in rain in the distance still shone with orange lights.
As if containing infinite power, like a forging hammer hitting an anvil, a row of Viking fighter planes cut through the wind and moved close to the turbulent sea of the vast ocean of Glacius. The strong air current cut through the waves like a sword cutting through the waves.
Then came the second row, the third row, and the fourth row of Viking planes whizzing by in the wind, rumbling across the sea. Their shocking posture perfectly interpreted power, high speed, and power.
Behind the clouds, the iron-gray bows of multiple battlecruisers were breaking through the clouds with unstoppable momentum. The lights on the majestic bridges flickered, and the formidable cannons looked down coldly at the roaring ocean.
Even in the earth-shaking huge waves, these giant ships sailing in majestic posture remain motionless.
Every inch of steel used to build such a magnificent ship symbolizes the strong national power of the Tyranid Empire and demonstrates the determination of Emperor Augustus Mengsk and his brave and fearless warriors to defend the vast lands of the Terran Humanity's Immortal Empire.
In front of such a giant steel ship, anyone will suddenly realize how small they are.
"That's the scientific research station built by the Protoss in Gracius. They are studying Purifier technology in this facility. As far as we know, it is an anthropomorphic machine mainly controlled by advanced AI." Imperial Fleet Commander Matt Howe
Na's profile picture appears on the side of the Hyperion's home screen.
"The detectors show that the Glacius facility is being attacked by a large mixed force, which is mainly composed of scavenger pirates, zerg and Orega's Fist protoss. Currently, they are still fighting with the reinforcements that have arrived.
Durham Protoss Crossfire." He said:
"The Daram Protoss has sent out many powerful legions of Zealots, and the attack is very fierce. It is expected that Orega's army will be defeated soon."
Augustus nodded to Matt Horner on the other side of the screen and focused his attention on the satellite image of the Gracius facility.
Although the protoss only calls it a scientific research facility, in the eyes of humans, it is a glorious and magnificent city. Even if they have already seen the golden and blue crystal cities located in the jungle on Aiur.
, Augustus was also shocked by what he saw.
It has a very different style from the New Antioch and Tamateros of Sagurus. The entire Gracius facility is shrouded in the bright white and orange lights of the Light Curtain Bridge. There are countless tall towers that seem to be forged from white steel.
The giant cannon stretches straight into the sky, its astonishingly gorgeous metal shell is as delicate and smooth as white porcelain, and its endless golden spiers shine under the wash of rain.
Such a majestic building complex has a consistent harmonious rhythm and unique artistic beauty. It can be said to be a collection of beauty. Like all the buildings in Durham Protoss, Gracius itself and the weapons it forges are one and the same.
A very beautiful piece of art.
In terms of the combination of technology and aesthetics, Purifier Protoss is undoubtedly an iconic model, vividly demonstrating the power of machinery and the absolute rationality of intelligent AI.
Like humans, the protoss also has great imagination and the hands to put their imagination into practice. They cannot speak like humans, but their magnificent buildings seem to sing themselves.
The Gracius Purifier facility has the soft and elegant gorgeous lines of Ayre architecture, but it is even sharper, like a silver moon and a scimitar. The lightness and beauty of music are perfectly integrated with the highly technological and modern architecture.
Together.
In the mist caused by the heavy rain, the Gracius facility was shrouded in a magnificent halo, with heart-stopping symmetry and beauty.
"I dare say that as long as you send a photo of the Gracius facility to Umoyan and say that the intelligent machinery made by the protoss is a million times better than theirs, the Umoyan Council will definitely pay a high price for a toilet brick there.
."
"You know the Umoyan people, Jimmy." Augustus put his hands behind his back and glanced at Renault next to him: "But they are no longer satisfied with obtaining fragmentary technological products of the protoss, but are seeking to go deeper.
levels of cooperation.”
"It's really a life-long friendship that earned the stars' trust in us."
The Umoyan people highly admire the protoss technology and are eager to bypass the Tyranid Empire and directly communicate with the Dallam protoss. However, it is obvious that even the current Archbishop of the Dallam protoss who is very friendly to humans is not interested in communicating with the Umoyan protoss.
Yang has no interest in dealing with humans.
Even the Duram Protoss has cooperated with the Tyranid Empire a lot, helping them rebuild Korhal's ecosystem or researching vaccines against zerg infections. It was only because of their friendship with humans and the human leader Augustus in the Battle of Aiur.
For Emperor Mengsk's sake.
What the Umoyan people are least willing to admit is that they do not have anything that the protoss needs in their hands, so there is no possibility of cooperation with the protoss.
"Your Majesty, Artanis' Zealot Legion is attacking fiercely. Orega's army is about to be repulsed. The scavenger pirates are retreating. There is chaos within them. According to the analysis of the footage captured by satellite surveillance, Orega's Fist
The Dark Templar are slaughtering the Scavenger pirates who dare to retreat." General Matt said at this time:
"Judging from the comparison of military strength, the Durham Star Spirits are at an absolute advantage. Do we want to intervene now?"
"These pirates are really unlucky. Do they think they can earn a sum of money from Orega without having to pay the price of blood?" When Renault heard that the supervisory team of Orega's Fist was killing the pirates and retreating.
She burst into laughter.
Obviously, Orega only regards these humans as cannon fodder. Of course, it may be that only those scavenger pirates feel that others do not treat them as beasts.
"Don't worry, Matt, look again." Augustus just said that.
Judging from the footage returned from a Terran Empire science ship located in low-altitude orbit above the Gracius facility, multiple armies were fighting together on top of it.
The fleet of Durham Protoss is parked above the Glacius facility. The golden-blue Mother Ship, aircraft carrier and Void Glow Ship are looming between the clouds. Tens of thousands of Phoenix fighter jets and aircraft carrier interceptors are being chased by the Dark Ruler.
The alien dragons enslaved by Orega and the plundering ships of the scavenger pirates flew through the sky at high speed.
There was also fierce fighting on the ground. The scavenger pirates had built an impregnable position in the Gracius facility, but the high walls and shields made of steel were simply vulnerable to the Colossus.
These pirates always have a way to get all kinds of military supplies. They even got a lot of arc light tanks and Goliath armed robots from the old Federation era, and even high-end goods from the UED expeditionary force. But compared to the Tyranid
The regular weapons of the empire, pirates are much more worn, and have many additional modified weapons used to deter the enemy with spikes and violence.
It’s no wonder that the Scavenger Pirates were able to dominate the Second Total War incident. They even had a few modified battlecruisers in their hands, but even with a new coat of earthy yellow paint, they looked like they should have been retired long ago.
of scrapped ships.
"The Empire's fire chariot? These dirty thieves!" The avatar of the Empire's chief engineer Rory Swann suddenly appeared on the home screen. At this moment, he was on the science ship Amerigo following the fleet.
"Damn scavengers! Poor bastards who live on garbage!" He said in a rough voice, with anger clearly visible: "Emperor, you have to do something to get back what originally belongs to us."
Swann's anger is understandable. In the past, he always asked his acquaintances to get some Federation technology or Protoss technology, but I don't know when the Tyranids became the target of stolen technology.
"Well, Swann, I'm just as angry as you are." Augustus was almost frightened by Swann. Of course, this engineer and great inventor whom he relied on often did this.
"I don't know who leaked the secret. Maybe these pirates stole the evil fire we lost on the battlefield." The emperor said:
"These thieves must pay."
"I know you will keep your word." Swann was satisfied with this: "If possible, I hope to get the design drawings of these pirates' evil fire to see if they have messed with this great engineering masterpiece.
Doodle."
"Of course." Augustus nodded.
"I love you so much, heartthrob." Swann left the communication channel with satisfaction.
"Thank you for your love." Augustus shrugged helplessly.
"Oh - this is really tragic. The protoss directly overturned the tanks and bunkers of those pirates." At this time, Renault let out an exclamation.
It can be seen that two scavenger pirate arc tanks trying to escape were swept by the prism rays of a void glow ship, and in the blink of an eye they turned into a pool of vaporized liquid metal. Next to them were scavengers wearing brown power armor.
The pirates were so frightened that they ran around and were already in disarray.
No matter how ferocious the pirates are, no matter how vicious these pirates are in fighting, their will is difficult to compare with the regular army of the Terran Empire. The scavenger pirates are used to bullying local armed forces and armed caravans, and a really troublesome situation with them is
When the enemy engages in battle, his true colors are revealed.
"Everything has come together, humans, zerg, and protoss. Orega really doesn't dislike anything." Renault said.
Orega, known as Little Eamon.
"Ourega is an extremely complex character. He is both a crazy idealist and a cold realist." Augustus expressed his views on Orega.
Orega is definitely a hard-working person among the protoss, and he is absolutely unambiguous when it comes to swordsmen. In order to revive the righteousness of the Nerazim clan, Orega is willing to sacrifice everything - even himself.
"The worms enslaved by Orega and his Dark Templar warriors are still holding their position." Augustus took a few steps in place: "But they are almost certain to be defeated. The fleet of the Duram Protoss is outnumbered.
It has a clear advantage.”
"I don't think things are that simple. They may be waiting for reinforcements," Reno said.
"I think so too, but unless Orega can assemble another army that can defeat the Atanis fleet, it will be meaningless." Augustus hummed.
Suddenly, like a star twinkling, a shadow radiating scarlet death glare appeared in the center of the Gracius facility. The moment it appeared, a high-temperature shock wave spread like ripples and instantly melted everything around it.
life.
This energy body condensed with scarlet flashes is so astonishingly huge that Gracius' roadbed ion cannon seems extremely small in front of it.
Orega released a psychic pulse that covered the sky, and everything in the sky immediately turned into ashes and fell.
"A powerful psychic signal has been detected, it is the Dark Archon Orega." Hyperion's shipboard intelligent adjutant immediately reminded him that even if this intelligent machine controlled by a limited AI program was upgraded, it would be difficult to confirm Orega.
psionic level.
Normally, human beings' psychic abilities range from 1 to 10, but neither Juggernaut nor Orega falls within this range. They are both incredibly terrifying and powerful.
"I think Orega is a fleet in itself." Renault said for no reason.
"They say Dark Archon Orega is scary, but this is too scary." Augustus' eyelids jumped as he looked at the electronic equipment of the Hyperion that was obviously disrupted by Orega's appearance.
Ordinary dark archons are already destructive weapons that can end a war, and Orega's body contains the souls of seven dark templars at the same time. It seems that this is not just as simple as 1+6=7
matter.
Orega has almost completely transformed into a pure psychic creature, crossing the boundary between life and death and becoming something half-human and half-god. This is a nice way of saying it, and Renault will describe Orega's appearance like this.
It is called human beings and ghosts.
In order to possess such powerful power, the Dark Archons must sacrifice part of their rationality. As time goes by, they are destined to destroy themselves, but there is no such limitation in Orega's body.
"The detector detected a large-scale zerg life signal, and a huge swarm of zerg was approaching the Glacius facility." Matt Horner said.
"Maybe we should use the Xel'Naga artifact to deal with these zerg." Raynor said to Augustus.
"No, the Xel'Naga artifact is still charging." Augustus immediately denied it.
There is a price for releasing the Xel'Naga Artifact's Nova Impact. Every time it is released, Narud accumulates one more point of energy used to summon Amon from the void. Only when dealing with the Overlord Insect Swarm, Ogu
Stuart would use it because he had to.
In the view of Renault and others, apart from the pain caused by the charging process to the brainworm, Nova Impact has almost no flaws. If there is a good thing, it must be used.
"Throw Tychus down." Augustus thought for a moment and corrected his order:
"Throw Tychus down with his Odin."
I wrote it in a hurry and sent the unedited manuscript directly. I will refresh it before you read it.
