Augustus heard this and looked around, thinking that Zeratul might be hiding among the rows of tall fir trees on both sides of the academy grounds. If Zeratul were to come, he would definitely be covered by the clouds.
The fog surrounds the place, and the dragon disappears from head to tail. Overall, the atmosphere is very important.
Zeratul, three years have passed and you finally appear again.
"Zeratul is injured." Augustus' heart tightened when he heard this. Zeratul is the ultimate master of darkness, and there are only a handful of enemies who can hurt him: "Is he seriously injured?"
Zeratul has a group of powerful Dark Templar followers, but he always keeps to himself.
In order to find the salvation prophecy of Xel'Naga and prevent the coming of the dark doomsday, this respected dark leader has never stopped risking his own life. He rushes around the galaxy, traveling through billions of places that have long been forgotten.
In the ruins of the temple in 2000, he survived an unimaginable and dangerous predicament and killed countless terrifying enemies with his own hands.
Augustus knew even better than Zeratus himself how dangerous what he was doing was.
"Zeratu was seriously injured." Kerrigan's eyes, which had been transformed into magnificent deep purple eyes, shimmered like galaxy gold: "I also felt a disgusting aura on his body.
, this familiar force makes me shudder.”
Kerrigan is now not only able to identify Zeratul, who even the sophisticated detection equipment of the Stillling Military Academy cannot detect, but she can even clearly understand his state. This shows that her current psychic power has grown over the past few years.
Time has taken another leap.
It's hard to say clearly what level Kerrigan's psychic power has reached now. Even Angelini, the tenth-level principal of the Imperial Ghost Military Academy, admitted that he is not even as good as one of the Queen's fingers.
It may be more than one or two levels behind.
"Hybrid?" When Augustus saw Kerrigan nodded towards him, he knew that his guess was right.
In the past year, the Tyranid Empire has observed more hybrid signals in and outside the Koprulu sector than in the past six years combined.
The terrible omens are getting worse. The lost world that has been dusted for endless years has once again reappeared in the world. Void rifts filled with terrible energy appeared from the ancient Xel'Naga Temple, and endless anger and malice were vented from it.
It seems like a fine hole at the junction of the void and reality.
Ordinary people still cannot understand what this phenomenon means, but how could the imperial government under Augustus not pay attention to it.
There are various signs that the power of the fallen Xel'Naga Amon in the void, who claims to be the god of darkness, is accelerating its recovery in the real world.
And Augustus knew that this indicated that Eamon was about to be reborn, and that his real purpose after rebirth was to destroy all living things in the universe.
"Faraday, mobilize the Royal Guards to strengthen the defense of Stillling Military Academy." Augustus ordered Faraday, the captain of the Royal Guard beside him: "The students of Stillling Military Academy are not allowed to approach the office building tonight, Jim, we
Now go to your principal's office."
After saying that, Augustus ordered the royal guards to escort the royal family members and Renault's family home first, and then walked with Renault in the direction of the principal's office.
Augustus always puts the safety of his family first. You must know that the imperial capital of Augustgrad is not as peaceful as it appears on the surface.
In addition to the various anti-imperial organizations hidden among the crowds, the mimic hatchlings and parasitic-controlled humans lurking among the crowds in Augustgrad are also extremely dangerous and extremely difficult to distinguish, so much so that the anxious Austrians
The Gustegrad police department had to set up a special department to eliminate the zerg's informants.
"What happened?" Prince Arcturus also followed.
"Zelatu is here." Augustus looked at Arcturus: "It may be related to the things that happened recently."
"It's the Xel'Naga prophecy again." Arcturus is a core member of the Augustus Empire government, and of course he knows more inside information.
The people only knew that the empire's number one enemy was the ferocious and cunning Zerg, but they knew nothing about the more terrifying threats.
Arcturus Mengsk insists on the imperial power of destiny, but he is the person who least believes in the so-called destiny. Even if he has seen the terrifying hybrid with his own eyes, he is still doubtful about the doomsday prophecies that the protoss believes to be truth.
Various events that have occurred in recent times cannot help but make the imperial government take it seriously: scientists studying the Xel'Naga ruins frequently have mental problems and even go crazy on a large scale, and two Imperial Moebius Corps fleets have been hunting hybrids in distant star fields.
When his body disappeared, all Tal'darin protoss worlds suddenly united, and a death fleet of unprecedented scale was forming.
And the swarm that seems to be making a comeback during this period seems to be related to this change. A war that may be much more terrifying than the second total war is about to come.
"You will only know if you meet Zeratul." Augustus just nodded, wondering what Zeratul had discovered.
Although the Steelling Military Academy is a building from the Imperial era, it is modeled after the Steelling Academy before Korhal was destroyed. The interior is lush with vegetation and shaded by green trees. Tall fir trees surround the courtyard paved with white cobblestones.
Path and gray granite buildings.
Under the morning sunlight in Augustgrad, the granite and glass buildings of the Stillling Military Academy show tension and strength. They are extremely majestic. The carefully cut and polished stones reflect dazzling light. Each side stands like a sentinel.
The huge floor-to-ceiling windows reflect the energetic faces of the military academy cadets, and hundreds of white corridors lead to classrooms with bright and clean windows.
In front of the majestic teaching building, which is as majestic as a castle, a huge statue of an Imperial Marine is saluting the fluttering flags of the Empire and the Marine Corps. Next to it stands a relief of a desperate battle between the Imperial Marines and the Zerg and Protoss, recording the
All the great wars in the twenty years before and after the empire.
This is the most prestigious military academy in the Tyran Empire, and it is the cradle of cultivating imperial elites.
Augustus walked into the hall of the office building. The nervous and excited sentries on both sides immediately stood up straight. When they came to their senses, the royal guards had blocked all the important roads, and a storm was about to come.
Posture.
Renault's principal's office is very clean. He is a nostalgic person. The decoration here is quite in the style of a Marsala bar. There is an old-fashioned record player on the table and a huge butcher hunter hanging on the wall.
Hydralisk skull.
Back then, they used a crane to lift the monster's huge body, which weighed several tons, and cut it off bit by bit with a laser drill.
Thinking about it, Augustus sat down directly on Renault's chair and turned away everyone, leaving only Arcturus, Renault and Kerrigan.
Then Augustus opened the window again, as if to make it easier for Zeratul to enter the house.
"Let me see what good wine you have hidden." Augustus occupied Renault's seat and took out his wine cabinet with ease. As expected, it was filled with No. 8 whiskey.
It still tastes the same as before.
Augustus threw one bottle to Renault and opened another bottle and drank: "It's a pity that there is nothing here for Zeratul."
"He's coming." Kerrigan said suddenly, standing behind Augustus.
With the coldness of the void, billowing black smoke appeared in front of Augustus, and the temperature in the principal's office immediately dropped a lot. Only the dark patriarch Zeratul, wearing a green crystal armor, could be seen in the shadow.
When he appeared, there was a smell of blood in the air.
Arcturus' eyes were sharp. Although the two races now cooperate a lot, he has never trusted these protoss very much. If there is a chance, he would not mind killing the protoss and the zerg together to avoid future troubles.
Human telepaths are just as dangerous as the protoss.
It's not scary not being able to see through someone else's heart. What's scary is that they can see through you.
"Augustus Mengsk" Zeratul's injuries seemed so serious that his slightly curved back became more stooped, and dried blood was clearly visible on the damaged cloak and shoulder armor.
No one knows how many enemies Zeratul killed in the battle that severely injured him, so much so that his shirt was stained with blood layer by layer.
】
The situation must have been so dangerous that the Dark Templar, who was accustomed to sneaking, had to draw his sword and fight his way out of the encirclement.
"These are mixed blood." Kerrigan raised her head and looked at Zeratul: "You are seriously injured, Zeratul."
"Now you need our help."
A hybrid, this terrifying monster that combines the DNA of the Protoss and the Zerg is extremely powerful. It combines the powerful power of the Protoss with the terrifying body of the Zerg, and can easily destroy a human army.
For many years, they have remained hidden from the Terran Empire's sight, and the Empire has never let down its guard.
In fact, the Terran Empire has formed a special military force called the Moebius Corps since its establishment. This army's confidentiality level in the empire's archives is even higher than that of the Ghost Project.
Even during the Total War, the Moebius Corps has been searching for and destroying hybrid factories in distant worlds. During this period, this mysterious imperial army has been fighting hybrids, zerg, and Tal'darin protoss. The battlefield is so cruel.
No less impressive than the Imperial Front in Total War II.
Hybrids are extremely terrifying twisted creatures, and fighting such an enemy must endure both physical and mental challenges.
The imperial warriors of the Moebius Corps are a group of real monster hunters, and their sacrifices and achievements have never been known to everyone.
"The doctors from the palace are already on their way." Although Augustus knew that the medical technology of the protoss was more advanced than that of humans, he still said this: "Anyway, Zeratul, as I said before
In that case, you really should put aside those adventures and take a break for a while."
Narud himself has always been under the strict surveillance of the empire, and it is obviously difficult for him to spare his hands to conduct hybrid experiments himself, but even so, hybrids are still appearing continuously.
This shows that Narud is not the only one conducting hybrid experiments now. In other words, the hybrid factory established by Narud a long time ago was able to operate alone, and his incarnation is just a cover-up.
Long before humans arrived in this starry sky, Narud had already been laying out the plan. The real large-scale hybrid factory may be hidden under the eyes of the empire, or it may be in the heart of the galaxy where Zerus is located.
Not only the Taldarin protoss, but also some humans controlled by the hybrid are helping Amon build new hybrid factories. Obviously, some of those who intend to overthrow the empire see the value of the hybrid and are determined to use it.
"No, Augustus, now is not the time to stop." Zeratul walked towards Augustus, his eyes radiating green psychic flames seemed to run through the long river of history: "I am approaching the end of the ancient prophecy.
A fragment, the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle of the truth about the destruction of the world."
"?" Arcturus frowned upon hearing this. If the Xel'Naga archaeologist from the Empire told him this, he must have defrauded the funds.
"What have you experienced in these years? Zeratul." Augustus looked at Zeratul and frowned slightly.
Ever since the Koprulu Sector was full of changes, Augustus was sure that Zeratul would appear again.
In other words, Augustus finally waited for him today. Augustus had basically guessed Zeratul's intention of coming this time, or in other words, he had been waiting for him for a long time.
At the moment, both the Duram Protoss and the Tyranid Empire can be called the leading brothers of the Order protoss and humans.
And considering that Daram has already ignored other threats in front of him in order to regain Aiur, the Terran Empire under the rule of Augustus has suddenly turned into Symmetra.
If the truth about the dark future is discovered, Zeratul will surely come to warn his human friends.
This elder of the protoss is like a man holding a flame alone in the darkness, lighting the way for others alone, and he will not hesitate to burn himself if necessary.
For a long time, Zeratul has played the role of guide. He will give you hints and even tell you what to do, but he will never reveal the answer to the puzzle.
Because maybe even he himself can't handle it smoothly.
"Listen to me, Augustus Mengsk, I bring about the end of the world."
"Yes." Augustus nodded immediately, indicating for Zeratul to continue.
Renault skillfully moved a chair over: "Sit."
On the other side, Kerrigan looked attentively.
""
Zeratul was silent for a moment, probably wondering if he should change his words.
"Just as the prophecy said, Aemon, the god of darkness, has been resurrected." Zeratul said: "Prying through the fog, I witnessed the destruction of all things."
"Destruction of all things" Arcturus shook his head: "Who is the enemy, and how can they destroy this world? Why do they destroy a universe?"
"Young Prince Arcturus Mengsk, the darkness I have been exposed to is unimaginable to you." Zeratul looked at Arcturus and said:
"The dark god that Tal'darin believes in has returned. Xel'Naga was the former creator, and of course he can destroy their creations!"
"Before coming here, I arrived at an unknown planet on the edge of the Koprulu sector. There was an evil hybrid laboratory there, where my miserable templar brothers were imprisoned." Looking at Zeratul's appearance, it seemed
It seems that he single-handedly destroyed a huge hybrid laboratory.
"Who built that hybrid laboratory?" Augustus asked.
"It's a group of humans and Tal'darim protoss enslaved by the hybrid." Zeratul said.
"That can't be one of ours." Kerrigan knew that not all Tyranids willingly submitted to the rule of the Empire, let alone other humans.
"Those humans come from various worlds and are colonists, traders, refugees and explorers. Their fragile will has long been distorted and corrupted by the hybrid and the void." Zeratul said: "Behind this, there is a larger mysterious organization.
Support them."
"Arcturus, I want you to investigate this matter thoroughly." Augustus ordered and then said: "Zeratul, what did you find in that hybrid factory?"
"I know the coordinates of a Xel'Naga temple, which is on the planet Atrias in your human Sigma sector - those humans and Tal'darin believe that is the place where Aemon was reborn." Zeratul said: "
The destiny of Atriaus is guiding me to find the last fragment of the prophecy."
"You are right, Queen Sarah Kerrigan, I do need the help of the Human Empire."
