Swopes is a world that exudes the stench of corruption. The surface is covered with an acidic swamp like a thick mung bean soup. Countless dark dry branches extend crookedly from the muddy silt to the sky filled with poisonous miasma. Each one is bronze.
There are many pyramid-shaped buildings standing in the thick mud and putrid air. Each one is like a mountain, so majestic that it seems to come from another world. The proudly standing spiers are surrounded by green ball lightning.
Surrounding these giant buildings, simple altars, obelisks and broken high walls are vaguely visible. They are all incredibly large, as if they are ancient giants.
Thousands of years ago, the protoss came to Swopes and established a settlement, but these ancient gold-shaped buildings and the ruins of the ancient city were not left behind by them.
This planet may have once belonged to an extremely glorious civilization, and the ruins of its great cities look like miracles even today. But that must have been an eternity ago, and the current Swopes is just stuck in the long river of time.
A piece of mud.
Now, Swopes has evolved into a real hell. The sky and the ground are densely covered with dark purple carpets and zerg extending along the swamp, swaying like a swarm of summer mosquitoes. These creatures covered in solid biological carapace
The twisted monsters have a bronze-green sheen all over their bodies, which means that they belong to a branch of the Fenris swarm, with a younger second-generation Mini Cerebrate or multiple queen commanders.
The cruel natural environment of Swopeth is quite harsh even to the protoss, but it is just right for the zerg. Once the swarm of worms arrived in Swopeth, the carpets and hatcheries spread like scars on the surface of the planet.
All the native life forms were assimilated and absorbed by the insect swarm.
And once Swopes is completely transformed into the mother nest world of the swarm, infection and destruction will spread like the umbilical hernia of the universe on planet after planet, hatching endless armies of swarms.
"Swoopes. I have to say this is a pustule on the ass of the universe." On the bridge of the Behemoth Hunter, Tychus was chewing a cigar in his mouth and couldn't help cursing:
"Why are there so many ghost places like this? One is competing and the other is losing."
"Looking at it this way, Turasis II is simply a paradise on earth. What else did we have to complain about back then?" Renault has visited many planets, at least a few hundred in total, but humans rarely visit them.
Settling down in a barren land within a barren land like Swopes, unless there are really a lot of mines there.
Most of the protoss came to Swopes for the ruins on it. They firmly believed that the pyramid-shaped buildings scattered across the planet were the footprints left by the Xel'Naga.
In the prosperous golden age of the Protoss Empire, their fleet followed the footsteps of the Xel'Naga. At that time, the territory developed by the Protoss Empire had reached one-eighth of the space once dominated by the Creator. And even the planet
The Spirit Empire has long since weakened, its former colonies have gradually disappeared, and its territories scattered across the stars are staggeringly large.
Swopes is definitely not the worst of them all, but he's probably not far behind.
"Marshal, the sensors show that the Purifier Mothership's main guns are ready and about to fire on Swopes." Captain Brown of the Behemoth Hunter reported.
The screen on the main screen of the bridge turned, and the super giant Purifier carrier Cebros, shining with bright light, immediately occupied the entire screen. The Cebros was so huge that the aircraft carrier seemed small in front of it, and compared with it
It's better to say it's a battleship than a super fortress.
The Sebros embodies the brilliant achievements of the Purifier project. The three-dimensional three-dimensional structure supports the oval-shaped ship-based platform, and the burning solar matrix releases extremely dazzling light from the crystal-clear shield dome. As long as you have seen Sebros
Ross took one look at it and could never forget the visual impact that exceeded the limit of imagination.
Majestic, brilliant, shining.
If the Spear of Adun is an ark built to preserve the fire of the protoss, then the Cybros is built for war.
In an instant, a new sun rose under Cebros's main gun, and the most terrifying purification beam that mankind had ever seen fell from the sky. The white plasma beam stirred the gray atmosphere of Swopes, and the endless swamp glowed with blue-gray color.
Under the high temperature, it becomes as dry and hard as ceramics, and the evaporated water vapor rises like white smoke.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the Swopes planet on the main screen of the Behemoth Hunter was like a red-hot carbon ball. Its brightness in the galaxy even suddenly increased by several orders of magnitude, and even exuded a little bright color.
of blue light.
When it comes to exploding stars, the Purifiers are absolutely unambiguous about exploding them. They don't care whether the precious Xel'Naga ruins are preserved on the Swopes planet. They just follow the instructions and destroy the objects that must be purified.
The planet is swept into the dustbin of history.
"All the zerg life signals on the surface of Swopes have disappeared," Captain Brown said.
"This is the Purifier's mothership Sebros. They use this great battleship fortress as their home and forward base." Purifier Talandar explained to Renault:
"Today, the Cybros is the home of the Purifiers."
"Mom, what does this have to do with us?" Tychus held back his words for a while as he watched the Purifier fleet turn a planet into a glowing glass ball in three strokes, five by two, and five by two.
Watching an entire planet being leveled was really shocking. After all, Tychus didn't want to blow up others while driving an Odin, drinking cold beer, and singing.
As a last resort, the Tyranids will use nuclear weapons or biochemical poisonous gas to destroy an entire planet, but the power is far less powerful than the main cannon of the Sebros. Even so, the planet must be destroyed, Tyranid
The Empire can no longer devote resources to rebuilding Korhal as it did to rebuild Korhal.
The empire's territory may be a lot less, but a lot may be said to be too much. If even half of it is exploded, it will collapse.
And now Swopeth seems to be terminally ill, and it is difficult to save him. Both the protoss and the humans have the same attitude towards the Zerg Brood World: it is burning!
"Svopes has been abandoned by the Durham Protoss. There is no treasure on it that is worthy of us sending the Marines to fight tooth and nail to recapture it." Renault stroked the beard on his chin: "We will take back the treasure after they finish blowing it up.
Throw the mining mules down and pick up some crystal ore. If you don’t pick it up, you won’t pick it up.”
"Brown, let's follow suit and fire a few shots to help." Renault is not a rigid person. He relies on his brains to make a living in the Tyran Empire.
Occasionally, people will be surprised to find that planets burned to the ground by the protoss actually have many crystal mines with special properties. This crystal mine is not only of excellent quality but also easy to mine, such as Mar Sara and Braxis.
A typical example is "your hometown has become a mine."
There are a lot of rich minerals underground in Swopes, and this explosion will probably bring them out.
Renault remembers the Shiloh birds that followed his father Tres when he was plowing the fields with machinery when he was a child. They could always pick up the bugs dug out of the ground by the machinery without much effort.
The work they do is similar, and each fleet fleet will carry engineering corps and mining mules to supply supplies in star fields far away from the worlds of the Tyranid Empire.
Our Marshal Renault came all the way with Emperor Augustus, and he was very concerned about being a parent in the empire. In the past, he was afraid of poverty, so he brought many mining mules, and he only went to the territory of his allies.
smash.
"Hehe." Tychus rubbed his hands, secretly thinking that he was going to make a fortune now. As for what kind of crooked idea he was using, we have to see if he would be hit directly after knowing Augustgrad.
Private went.
Mr. Tychus has some morals, but not much. Besides, for him, morality is a flexible thing.
"What, they are leaving?" Suddenly, Tychus noticed that the Purifier fleet surrounding the mothership Thebrous was turning around and leaving. He squinted his eyes and prepared to drive the SCV to mine.
Although Tychus is a villain, he is undoubtedly a genius. As long as he can get some money, he can even teach himself to drive a battleship.
"Purifier Executor Koralion sent us the coordinates of a new galaxy, which is the Alanor system, and Zerg have also appeared there." Captain Brown said.
The friendship between the young Tyranids and our Purifier is so pure.
"Alanor, that place is not far from our territory." Tychus frowned: "This is not a good thing."
"Yeah." Renault was also very worried, and he was also surprised at the moment: "You actually worry about such a thing."
"Alanor and Hohandel are very close." Tychus said calmly: "I have a few good friends there, and they don't charge me any money."
Renault was just about to let Young Master Tychus pretend to be the hero of the empire and pretend to be a hero, but he suddenly received a report of an unknown ship suddenly jumping into Swopes.
"Only one battleship," Captain Brown said:
"It's Tassadar's flagship star shuttle, the only one."
"Tassadar." Renault recognized the aircraft carrier that was sailing out of the hyperspace channel at a glance.
As the flagship of Tassadar, the design of the Star Shuttle is so classic that the antique-style aircraft carrier currently built by Durham is modeled after this great battleship.
"What does he want to do?" Tychus noticed that the protoss aircraft carrier, which was glowing with golden-blue light, was heading straight for the Purifier mothership Cybros.
"Tassadar should have personally driven the battleship here in order to reconcile Durham with the Purifiers." Talandar said: "This is exactly Tassadar's heroism."
"This is something he can do." Raynor knew that Tassadar, as a benevolent leader, was also a brave man who dared to go into the tiger's den and feed the tiger with his own body.
"Isn't he afraid that the Purifier will burn him to ashes with one shot?" Tychus knew that the Purifier would not give the Duram protoss a good look.
"I think Tassadar is not stupid. He is actually a very shrewd guy." Renault said, "If something goes wrong, he will definitely have a way to get out."
"Sometimes the protoss are stupid, and sometimes they are very smart." Tychus didn't care about Tassadar's life or death, he only wanted to make money.
"The Purifiers contacted me. They said that the Dallam Protoss came for peace talks - the Purifiers thought we could talk." Talandar said at this time: "Executor Cororalion wants me to be present.
"
"We are going too." Renault hasn't seen Tassadar for a while. Speaking of which, he is also a warrior, and he is not afraid of big scenes at all.
It would be good if Durham and the Purifiers settled their differences. If they continue fighting like this, they will end up on the territory of the Tyranid Empire sooner or later.
"Standing, rich people are generous." Tychus looked at the solar fragment crystal core embedded in the virtual circuit of the Cebros quietly, knowing that this was the perfect catalyst for the fusion reaction. Although humans are far from being like the protoss
In that way, the power in the solar energy fragments can be used, but it can still be used as a weapon to ignite something.
"Why are you carrying laser cutters?" Renault was walking in the wide corridor of the Sebros and noticed that Tychus was taking out a tool from his crotch to check the quality of the Sebros deck.
"Every word and deed you say represents the face of Emperor Augustus." Captain Brown's face twisted.
"If that's the case, I'll give him face if I don't take off my pants." Tychus looked at it for a long time, and was about to break a piece of solar energy fragments to sell for money, when he saw two Purifier Sentinels slowly walking over from the other side. They were larger than the others.
When people are bigger, they look like flat plates.
Mechanical Sentinels are not strictly ancient Purifier technology, but the Purifiers have obviously quickly added Durham's drone technology to the data network to produce this powerful battlefield support machine with higher efficiency.
When producing their own mechanical sentries, the Purifiers will add their own things.
Probably because there is no concept of sneaking around in the database, the two sentries left quickly.
"Put it down, you." Renault's eyes widened. They were not gangsters. The Terran Empire couldn't afford to lose this person.
As he was talking, a team escorted by more than a dozen Purifier Legion warriors appeared directly in front of Renault. These powerful legion warriors all have independent personalities, and each one is an ancient hero with great military exploits.
"Tassadar!" Renault recognized one of the protoss, and then he saw Fenix's huge dragon knight armor. Only the two of them came.
"Ah, James Raynor, I didn't expect you to be here." Tassadar was also very happy: "I hope you can bring my greetings to Emperor Augustus Mengsk."
He noticed that compared to Tassadar, the leader of Duram, the surrounding Purifier Legion soldiers focused their attention on Phoenix. It was probably not because they had never seen the Dragon Knight.
Although the Purifier's eyes were also mechanical, Renault believed that they were all looking at Phoenix with strange eyes.
The fact that Phoenix activated the Time History skill to modify the memory of the Purifier clone and boasted about his achievements is now known to everyone - except himself.
Grand Archon Fenix is indeed a unique hero. The story is probably true, but there are hundreds of millions of reprocessings. Even Talandar himself found it unbelievable when he looked at this memory. If it were placed on a human being, it would be inconceivable.
It is said that Superman who flew into the sky and landed on the ground really existed in history.
Well, now everyone knows he is a historical inventor.
"Phoenix, old friend, it's so nice to see you here!"
I'll see if I can post a video of the explosion, I guess not.
