There are clusters of orange and white battleships swimming in the vast deep sky. The drones surrounding the giant battleships are like a group of silverbait shrouded in dazzling flashes. Sometimes they stop in place, and sometimes they flash in another direction uniformly.
These majestic Purifier warships are significantly different from the traditional craftsmanship of the Protoss Empire warships that always focus on elegance, luxury and meticulous craftsmanship, with their smooth and graceful lines and solar arrays that shine like the sun. The cutting-edge combination of automated forging plants and military industry assembly lines.
Purifiers are works of art created specifically for war, and their mission is to destroy, which is called guardianship.
"The detection methods of the Purifier Protoss are much more advanced than ours. When we discovered them, they must have discovered us." Jackson Brown, the captain of the Behemoth Hunter, stood on the other side of Raynor and Tychus. Seeing that his battleship is getting closer and closer to the Purifier fleet ahead.
The bridge was filled with the sound of electricity from various channels. The crew seemed busy but still carried out the instructions in an orderly manner. This was the result of thousands of trainings and actual combat.
On the left side of the Behemoth Hunter, the astonishing bows of the Loyal Spirit and the Super Nova are slowly leaving the jump state. The Minotaur-class battlecruisers following them look like half-grown children in front of them. .
In front of the protoss warships, the Terran Empire's warships looked much rougher, but the hulls that contained the heaviness and shocking beauty of human heavy industry had a unique sense of majestic power.
"Then why is there no movement from their remote-controlled battleship?" Tychus looked at it for a long time, wondering: "Is it because there is a power outage and no signal?"
Due to his low military rank and limited authority, he still doesn't know what he is doing here. But now that he is out, no matter whether the enemy is the zerg or the protoss, he will definitely fight.
"Strictly speaking, most of the Purifier's battleships require pilots rather than intelligent AI operations, but even the pilots are mechanical." Captain Brown obviously knew more than Tychus.
Upon hearing this, Tychus spread his hands and said, "Isn't this taking off your pants and farting?"
"You don't understand the protoss." Renault, who was standing on the bridge, just said: "Even if you become a mechanical protoss, you can't lose the tradition."
"No, these idiots have even lost Al, and our ancestors are about to jump out of the coffin to take care of their unscrupulous descendants." Tychus was heartbroken. He himself was shameless, so how could he be given a star? Spiritual allies save face.
Purifier Talandar, who was standing on the other side of the bridge, just remained silent when he heard this. The Templars enjoyed the respect and love of their clansmen, and they did not lose Al in the end.
There is no refutation.
It is precisely because of this that the templar class within the Durham Protoss is eager to regain Aiur and regain its lost glory. Although Tassadar advocates a steady and detailed recovery of Aiur for the sake of the overall situation, he cannot withstand the internal clans. People are becoming more and more confused.
I'm depreesed.
"What are the plans of these protoss who resurrected from the dead in the machine?" Tychus stared suspiciously at the Purifier protoss fleet outside the bridge window: "Even if we just bump into each other and die together, we have to avoid it if we can't. Shattered to pieces!”
Although the distance between the Imperial fleet and the Purifier fleet seems quite far, if they suddenly engage in a few short jumps, they can get closer immediately. And even though the Gorgon class is already the most powerful battlecruiser, it is difficult to deal with this kind of battlecruiser.
The large protoss fleet cannot take any advantage.
The Gorgon can bully the old Behemoth class with its ship strength and cannon power, but the protoss warship's combat power is very weird. It may actually have stronger firepower thousands of years ago. Because at that time, they were still at full strength.
In the expanding state of the Milky Way, who knows how many intelligent civilizations we will encounter, it will not be like today where the Dawu religion has sealed away its war technology and is in a state of complete stagnation.
"Just as Augustus expected - the Purifier Protoss has a cold attitude towards humans and may not pay attention to us." Raynor said to Tychus:
"Be careful, we are not here to fight the Purifiers."
"If you're not here to fight, then what do you want me to do?" Tychus asked.
"Do you really think you are very popular in Augustgrad?" Renault glanced at Tychus and said.
"I'm not annoying." Tychus is self-aware, but he never cares about his own reputation.
"The fly thinks the same way when it's flying around, but it just doesn't think of itself as a little bee." Renault spread his hands: "Let me tell you, today we are here to negotiate with the Purifier."
"Driving a battleship to negotiate, holding a knife to the opponent's neck." Tychus is a smart man, and he immediately understood: "This is not normal diplomacy."
"This is the Terran Empire's way of diplomacy, first with courtesy and then with force." Raynor continued:
"Our mission is very simple, which is to try to get in touch with the Purifiers and let Talandar on the ship have a good talk with them. If everything goes well, the Purifiers will become our allies against the Zerg."
"Does this matter only need the mechanical protoss to talk about it?" Tychus felt that this idea was not very reliable, but he couldn't come up with a better way: "It's strange, but this matter should be put aside
It's still possible with the protoss, they just believe this."
"I hope they can listen. If not, the warships I brought today are the guarantee for negotiations." Renault said: "Augustus has high hopes for this plan."
"Marshal, we are currently unable to contact the Purifier Protoss fleet. They have not responded to our calls." Captain Brown said at this time.
"This is normal." Renault nodded: "The Purifier has never responded to us."
"Marshal Renault, I can remotely connect to the Purifier's data network, but the distance is too far now." Purifier Talandar walked over and said.
"Then get closer." Renault immediately ordered.
With an order, the Behemoth Hunter took the lead and appeared in a flash of light outside several standard astronomical units.
At this distance, the Purifier fleet seemed to be within easy reach. The battleship plate armor with a texture like white porcelain shone like white stars under the golden light surging from the solar core. At this moment, Talandar gradually closed his eyes and was looking at it.
Prepare to connect to the Purifier Protoss data network.
At this time, standing on the bridge of the Behemoth Hunter, you can clearly see that this large-scale Purifier fleet is parked in the high-altitude orbit of an ice-blue planet. Many of the Purifier warships are heading towards it.
A terrifying purifying beam was released from below, and the dazzling white light enveloped the entire icy blue planet, stirring the atmosphere and leaving large red spots on the earth waiting to cool down.
It won't take long for this terrifying particle beam to wipe out a planet, harvest life, and kill everything. The protoss will call it the Burning Purification.
When it comes to using fire to destroy, humans are no match for a finger of the protoss. Humans use fire to burn garbage, while the protoss burns planets in the universe.
"Good boy." Tychus smacked his lips.
Who said that these stars love nature and yearn for peace? Maybe they have a violent heart.
"The Protoss is the Protoss. They did the same thing thousands of years ago." Renault, who was standing in the middle of the bridge of the Behemoth Hunter, saw this scene and thought to himself that no wonder the Protoss burned glass and exploded stars when they were in trouble. Co-authored
This is passed down from generation to generation.
"Brown, I remember that Kayadil is a colonial planet of the Daram protoss." He thought of something else: "Although it was just colonized two years ago, there should be many protoss on it. It's really incredible.
I dare to imagine that the Purifiers would actually attack the civilians in the settlement."
Brown replied: "Although it is very far away from Sagulas, Kayadir is indeed a colony opened under the authorization of the Durham government."
"Why are there all these birds, ice, fire, and nothing normal?" Tychus: "Why are they digging into the asshole of the universe?"
Here in Tychus, the icy Kayadir can only be evaluated as a cosmic butthole.
This is an icy planet with a cold blue light, a satellite of a giant planet. Its surface environment is extremely cruel, and the air is so cold that it can freeze blood in the blink of an eye. There happen to be several environmental planets in the territory of the Tyranids.
Similar planets, the most famous of which is Braxis.
"Kayadil is very cold, with an extreme climate called an ice storm, which can even freeze buildings. The protoss seem to be trying to improve its climate by changing its rotation. The residents here are
Immigrants and researchers." He said:
"But our preliminary scan of the life signature signals on the surface of Kayadil shows that there are no signs of the existence of protoss on it, but it is filled with another form of life. - The Dalam protoss seem to have evacuated long ago.
No warships left behind by them have been found in the orbit of the planet."
As he spoke, a series of numbers and a three-dimensional hologram that flashed and changed popped up on the main screen of the Behemoth Hunter.
"Damn it." Renault cursed: "It's Zerg!"
"It's so lively." Tychus clicked his tongue: "Damn, it's so haunting."
"Why did the zerg appear here? What's so good about this damn place."
"For the ever-evolving Zerg, Kayadil is a treasure trove that can absorb the genes of powerful creatures. Any life that can survive here will improve the swarm's ability to adapt to extremely harsh environments," Brown said: "
That’s what it’s like with Char.”
"Is there any result? Which swarm of insects appeared in Kayadir?" Renault asked.
Kayadil is located in the Koprulu Sector. Although it is not within the territory of the Tyranid Empire, the news of the appearance of zerg on it also means that the zerg swarm is bypassing the Imperial fleet in the southern and eastern territories of the empire and gradually moving towards the interior of the sector.
penetration.
The Overlord is very smart. It understands that although the power of the Xel'Naga artifact is great, its scope of action is limited after all. It can do nothing about the small groups of zerg that flow into the Koprulu sector in multiple streams. After all, there is only one artifact.
Of course, this was also expected by the Tyranid Empire's high command. In addition to strengthening the defense force of the core world planet, another response method is to form a rapid response fleet to clean up the swarms of insects that are swarming everywhere.
"It's the Fenris swarm." Brown replied: "They must have come for the powerful genes of the biological population on Kayadir."
"Well," Raynor said, "So, the Purifiers are the zerg that are burning Ka'adir."
"But if you want to know what happened on Kayadir, you have to ask the person involved."
"The person involved?" Tychus looked at the Purifier Protoss fleet in the distance.
This distance is too close, and both fleets are within the fire range of the other side. If they are not careful, their guns will go off. With the temper of the Purifier protoss, they will even open fire directly if they sense a threat.
For Renault to dare to do this, he needs courage and a big heart.
Tychus doesn't like the feeling of sitting in a battleship and waiting for his own battleship to be smashed or destroyed by the enemy. That kind of helpless despair can easily destroy the will of mankind. There may be eight thousand and one in a Gorgon.
Ten thousand people, everyone is just a part among them, a dead wood in the pyre, which will eventually burn when exposed to fire.
"Is there any result?" At this time, Renault noticed that Talandar's eyes lit up again, and was surprised that his negotiation was so fast.
"Yes." Talandar looked at Renault: "The Purifiers were very surprised by my existence. They never thought that there were other protoss outside of the Cebros."
"I have uploaded some of Phoenix's memories during the Battle of El and before to the data network so that they can further understand the history of the Protoss Empire in its final moments."
"Including that part?" Renault nodded, but then suddenly thought of something:
"I mean, Phoenix is in the slightly polished part of your memory network."
"What does that have to do with it?" Talandar was puzzled: "I believe Phoenix must be deeply proud of this."
"Oh, poor Phoenix." Renault groaned: "But if you want to embarrass yourself in front of ancient heroes, you will do it at your own expense."
These are all the greatest heroes in the history of the Protoss Empire. Which one is not a legend? A group of protoss heroes who have died in battle - of course they are heroic souls. In other words, the Purifier's data network is the Protoss' Hall of Valor. They
Keep honing your memory in the world of data, just waiting for the day when you return in Ragnarok.
It's over, but you're the one asking for it.
Maybe the ancestors of these Purifiers looked at Phoenix's glorious deeds and suddenly felt that this was a terrifying thing for future generations. These heroic feats are like epics, unprecedented and unprecedented.
Phoenix will regret that he's still alive.
"So, the Purifiers have already known about the existence of Zerg." Raynor did not talk about this matter anymore.
"They have known for a long time." Talandar said: "The Dallam protoss of Kayadil actually evacuated on their own initiative before the Purifiers came to this galaxy - after the first few battles, Talandar
Sardar chose to avoid the war and abandoned many outlying settlements."
"This puzzles the Purifiers."
"Of course it's impossible for Tassadar to really fight the Purifiers to the death." Raynor realized that without these settlements, the process of forming a golden fleet by the Duram Protoss might be delayed again.
"But now, they truly understand why Tassadar did what he did."
"Tassadar is a benevolent leader." Talandar said:
"But even though Tassadar has explained it countless times, the Purifiers only believed what I said. They even refused to accept the summons of the Supreme Protector."
Suddenly, Talandar's movements paused again, and a large amount of data was being uploaded to the Purifier data network through the circuit on his shoulder armor: "Now, Purifier Executive Officer Kororarion wishes to talk to the leader of humanity.
"
I will try my best to update before ten o'clock in the future. If I don't update, it will be later. Anyway, it will always be before twelve o'clock.
