The dark deep space surrounding the planet Atrias is littered with the remains of starship bombardments. The huge wrecks of large battleships are like tombstones marking the battlefield. Countless debris surrounds them like a star ring. In the star
It shone with a cold luster under the light.
Some of the half-sunk battleships were still spouting bright flashes of light from their gun muzzles, while others were silently heading toward final destruction. Both warring parties each lost dozens of battleships, or were sunk or unable to invest in the next battle.
Battle, but with the same battle loss ratio, this is obviously beneficial to the Tyranid Empire fleet.
The Terran Empire's warships have been rapidly updated every two to three years, catching the Tal'darin protoss who underestimated the enemy by surprise with their rapidly expanding military strength.
But now, the Taldarins are about to be defeated, and they are retreating in embarrassment! Otherwise, they will all be destroyed on this battlefield under the stars.
After leaving behind more than fifty aircraft carriers and destroyer warships that were too damaged to take off with the flagship, the Tal'darin mothership took the lead in opening a rift in the hyperspace channel, and the remaining warships followed hurriedly.
By this time, all Imperial fleet commanders who can accurately and quickly understand the battlefield situation will order the pursuit to continue.
The ensuing war can no longer be called a well-matched confrontation between two fleets, but has evolved into a strangulation of a single Tal'darin warship by the dominant Tyranid Empire warship group on multiple local battlefields. The Tal'darin Protoss is still fighting.
I also understand that they are just stubbornly resisting.
As time went by, the Tal'darin warships, which were being besieged by several or even ten times their own empire's warships, were sunk one by one by fierce artillery fire, turning into beautiful metal fragments floating in the universe.
Some Tal'darin warships were cut into two pieces midships by the explosion caused by the crystal core, and some were ignited like flammable haystacks, emitting dazzling light like torches. In the darkness,
In the sky, these blazing battleships are as eye-catching as beacons guiding the way.
When this battle was coming to an end, another larger Tyranid Empire fleet completely ruined the hopes of the Tal'darin protoss.
The first one to leap into the Atrias galaxy was the Imperial flagship Gorgon battleship White Star. Its iconic "T" shaped bow caused a burst of cheers in the Imperial Sigma sector fleet communication channel as soon as it appeared.
At the same time, more black battleships jumped out of hundreds of unfolding space-time rifts, followed by countless star fighters.
This is the main force of the Terran Empire's Moebius Legion fleet. They are famous for the absolute silence of their radio channels and cold efficiency when performing extermination missions. For a long time, the Moebius Legion has been fighting against all alien enemies that threaten the empire.
The various large fleets of the empire were now sufficient to launch and win a large-scale war on their own, and Augustus no longer needed to concentrate a small number of main battleships and use the power at hand carefully.
"Report the battle situation, General Harris." On the bridge of the White Star, Augustus only took a few minutes to figure out the situation on the battlefield.
Judging from the comparison of main battleship losses, the Imperial Fleet had three Gorgons and twelve Minotaur battlecruisers sunk in this battle, and the number that were damaged or even seriously damaged was about twice this number.
Times. And because the Tal'darin flagship abandoned its warships and jumped away from the battlefield, the already dangerous formation of the Tal'darin fleet was gradually broken through, and the number of aircraft carriers and destroyer warships lost was even much greater.
In addition, seven other battlecruisers and hundreds of attached frigates were dragged into the galaxy vortex created by Tal'darin, and their whereabouts are unknown.
It is possible that these battleships will appear again in the Atrias system after a period of time, or they may never appear again, as if they were completely erased. Five other towers were also dragged in
The Darling aircraft carrier and a dozen Destroyer battleships are also missing.
The protoss usually do not take the initiative to use the galaxy vortex, because this terrifying black hole cannot distinguish between friend and foe.
Of course, Tal'darin might not care at all.
"...Your Majesty, our fleet has occupied the high-altitude orbit of the planet Atrias and is conducting orbital bombardment of Tal'darin's main military facilities on the ground." General Harris is an old-school man with a pipe in his hand.
An imperial soldier, he has been through numerous experiences of life and death, and has participated in a frightening number of battles:
"I have begun deploying more airdrop pods to provide air fire support for the troops that have landed."
"Very good." Augustus frowned and looked at General Harris, who had a red face and a white ivory beard: "Continue to perform your duties, General."
Then, Augustus emphatically commended the achievements of the Sigma Sector Fleet and ordered the dispatch of additional supply ships and hospital ships to search and rescue the anchored Imperial warships.
Even if the Imperial Fleet has achieved victory, its own losses are not small.
Just as the White Star was heading 220 degrees, an Imperial Minotaur battlecruiser was still struggling painfully. Its sturdy battleship armor was covered with terrible scorch marks left by the destruction ray, and the interior was filled with large and small explosions.
There was a bright flash, and the raging flames rising from the stern of the ship spurted out violently from each porthole, and the hull was covered with bright red dots of fire. Some terrifying large-scale explosions were throwing the wreckage of the ship's hull in all directions.
It's hard to bear to watch anymore.
Sadly, other Imperial warships were completely helpless against this battlecruiser that was irreversibly heading towards self-destruction, and could only send ships to rescue the crew members as much as possible.
Compared with this miserable situation, the remaining Tal'darin warships were also brutally massacred by Imperial warships. As more and more Moebius Legion warships jumped into the Atrias system, the newly joined Empire
The battleships joined the battlefield, and the Yamato cannon fired at the remaining Tal'darin battleships one by one. The scene was very spectacular.
At this time, the image of the planet Atrias was being projected from the star chart platform on the bridge of the White Star, and the green flashes that appeared from time to time on its bright brown continental plates were quite eye-catching.
Atriais is a restless planet, and active continental activities will always frequently spray high-energy gas resources rich in its underground into the sky. On the one hand, the high-energy gas that emerges due to earthquakes is easier to collect, but
High-energy gas extraction facilities built on the surface are also easily destroyed by seismic activity.
This kind of planet is actually more suitable for development by small-scale mining companies. They only need to capture the high-energy gas scattered on the surface to make profits at a very low cost.
When it comes to developing a mining planet, there are many more suitable planets in the Sigma sector than Atrias. And if it is developed by force, it might be a new Folsom planet.
The Tyranid Empire does not necessarily need this planet, but the Tal'darin's current activities on this planet have greatly interfered with the activities of nearby empire colonies and nearby waterways. The Atrias system is originally the Tal'darin protoss.
An important stronghold in the Sigma sector must be taken out.
The Tal'darin do not have a good temper when it comes to human colonies. This race has no mercy even for its own kind.
On the other hand, the Empire has heard about the bad things the Tal'darim protoss are doing in the Sigma sector.
In fact, since Augustus did not give Narud much resources and support for making hybrids, the Tal'darin Protoss in this timeline took over the Tyranids' original position and turned to focus on making hybrids.
On the hybrid body.
For this reason, an unimaginable number of protoss templars were kidnapped by the Tal'darin and taken to their hybrid factories, including a large number of scientists and craftsmen. Occasionally, the Tal'darin protoss who were not scrupulous about meat and vegetables would also attack the Ta'darin.
The colonial fleet of the London Empire attacked and plundered slaves.
This feud is dead.
The Tyranid Empire and the Tal'darin fought fiercely as soon as they met, showing no mercy and hoping to break their bones and ashes.
"What on earth is Tal'darin doing on this planet?" Raynor looked at the rotating planet Atrias and said:
"There shouldn't be any terrazine on this."
"Resources, terrapin, or temples." Augustus said, "You have to choose one among them."
Augustus reached out and touched the planet projection on the star chart platform and zoomed in. A towering Xel'Naga temple immediately appeared in front of everyone.
Although this Xel'Naga temple is not as good as the temple complex under the Skigel Research Station, judging from the majesty of the individual buildings, it seems that there are only the two temples on El and Sagulath.
It can be compared with it. Judging from the state of preservation, this temple is also in quite good condition. Even the huge towering statue seems to still retain its original grand appearance.
Moreover, this Xel'Naga building, called the Temple of Iris by the Ta'darin protoss, is obviously still in operation to this day. The main function of the Xel'Naga Temple is to store energy and communicate with the void.
It is obvious that the Tal'darim intend to use the Temple of Iris to communicate with their master, the dark god Amon.
"Temple of Iris..." Augustus looked at the dark patriarch Zeratul next to him: "Zelatu, what did you find?"
"On this planet, I feel the call of destiny." Zeratul approached the porthole and overlooked the towering Temple of Iris below: "Amon is pulling this temple closer to the void."
"The void reflects her will."
"It sounds like we pissed off Eamon." Renault laughed twice, but there wasn't much warmth in the laughter.
"The energy level of the void energy on this planet is still increasing." Zeratul said solemnly: "That means that the boundary between the void and the universe has been blurred, which is extraordinary."
If you follow Zeratul's gaze at this moment, you can see the surface of the planet Atrias with a scarlet flash of light outside the bridge window.
"I have only seen this situation on Aiur before." Zeratul said worriedly: "The Dark Templar believe that the void and the present world must be crossed between life and death. In the memory of our family, the existence of the void has never existed.
It has never been as clear as it is now.”
"The Tal'darim must be communicating with the void through the Temple of Iris."
Aiur may be the first planet discovered to be infinitely close to the void.
The huge hole that was formed in the huge remnant body of the first Overlord has become another Otarian rift, and the terrible shadow and void corruption are constantly spreading on the once beautiful land of Aiur.
The situation on the planet Atrias also shows that the power of Aemon, the god of darkness, has indeed further revived, and his control over the void is far beyond what it used to be.
"No matter what, whatever Tal'darin and Amon want to do, we have to confront them." Augustus further unfolded the battle map around the Temple of Iris.
Although there is a lag in the location information of each unit, the Terran Empire's landing troops are clearly surrounding the Temple of Iris.
In this regard, Augustus could only choose to believe that the commanders on the ground would be able to capture the Temple of Iris. After all, he was not a master of micro-manipulation. At this time, he could still stand on a battleship and command ground troops on a planet far away.
.
"Judging from the information we have received so far...the person commanding this Tal'darin army is none other than the second ascended Jinara." Augustus breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was only Jinara.
.
fine......
Well, based on Augustus' impression of Genara in the game.
"However, Tal'darin High Lord Marash may also be in the Temple of Iris." Augustus thought for a moment and then said: "No matter who the Tal'darin commander here is, they must be killed!"
At this time, Augustus couldn't help but think about where Alarak, the first upgraded person in Tal'darin, was now. If all the high-ranking lords and second upgraded people died here, this insidious guy would definitely be happy to see it happen.
.
But I'm afraid, Marash is not so easy to kill. Maybe he really has the blessing of Eamon.
Marash is a true lunatic. He knows that Amon's so-called promotion is just a lie, but he is willing to send the entire Tal'darin to a place of eternal destruction.
However, Augustus had his own way of dealing with Marash and Taldarin.
"Wait!" Renault suddenly looked at the combat map on the star chart table: "The sensor has detected a large number of hybrid signals——"
Satellite images near the Temple of Iris immediately appeared on the main screen, and it could be clearly seen that a large number of hybrids were mixed in the Tal'darin army.
Until now, Tal'darin seems to regard these hybrids as ascendants who have completed their ascension, and worships these evil creatures endlessly.
"It's a hybrid!" Zeratul shouted:
"And it seems like it's not just a hybrid."
As the words fell, the green light shining on the Iris Temple suddenly turned into a dazzling scarlet color, and a large amount of surging void energy poured out like a thick fog, quickly covering the entire temple.
In these surging void energies, many biological entities composed of dark red void energy continue to emerge, including zerg, protoss, and even humans. They are entirely composed of twisted void energy, unlike anything in the real universe.
Every life form is different.
"This is... this is a creation of the void, a creature transformed from the shadow of the void. In the material universe we live in, they cannot exert their full power, but they are still very terrifying." Zeratul looked at Austria.
Gustus:
"I must join this fight!"
"You have just been injured, Zeratul." Augustus nodded: "Proceed with caution, my warriors will provide support for you."
"Okay, without further ado, act as soon as possible." Zeratul said: "The sharp blade in my hand will pave the way forward for us."
