"I heard that someone is looking for old Tychus?"
When Tychus Finley walked into the bridge, he had already put on power armor painted with bright blue paint. He was carrying a Sweet Whisperer heavy machine gun in his hand. He was breathing heavily and walking with wind.
Renault raised his eyebrows and pointed at Tychus's blue armor:
"Why are you dressed like this?"
Most of the ordinary Imperial Army is in red armor, and only the Rangers, who are elite light infantry units, are in blue armor, and the most famous of them is the Reno Rangers.
"Those damn mechanical technicians have welded all the joints of this armor, damn it--" Tychus sighed, feeling dispirited: "This rotten armor is going to grow on you."
"How do you say that?" Renault looked at Augustus, knowing that this was his handiwork.
In view of the fact that Tychus had committed many deaths recently and had greatly offended Augustus, this was his own fault.
"You know, there are still three months of Tychus' accumulated imprisonment period." Augustus had already prepared this armor for Tychus, but later there were too many things and he forgot about it: "Before the imprisonment period is over,
, this armor is his new prison."
"..." The corner of Tychus' mouth twitched, and he didn't dare to talk or ask any more questions. He was worthy of no one in the huge Tyran Empire, but he just didn't dare to offend the man in front of him.
In fact, this problem is not serious for Tychus, which means that he can no longer look for flowers before he is allowed to take off his armor. It just so happens that what he committed this time is a bit more serious, and it cannot be solved by just talking and talking.
Passed by the lake.
"Where is this?" Tychus was cheeky and glanced at the star chart table and the purple glow outside the porthole without caring. As soon as he saw Zeratul next to Augustus, he knew that nothing would happen to him.
matter.
During this period of time, he was kept in the confinement room of the White Star, and was not even released when the fleet docked at the Chiron III colony. As a result, he still doesn't know where he is or what he is going to do.
But Tychus just looked at the imperial ship blocking the sky outside the porthole and knew that this was another large-scale interstellar war. Follow the old commander, there will always be a battle.
Tychus is a very contradictory person. He is greedy for enjoyment and afraid of death, but he still kills everyone on the battlefield of blood and fire, as fierce as a lion and a tiger.
"Otarian Rift, Urna." Raynor said and shook his head again: "You don't understand even if I tell you. In short, we have to capture this place now."
As they spoke, they could all see through the portholes that huge Zeus-class landing ships had landed on the surface of Urna, and above them there were more large landing ships descending in preparation for landing.
The sky was filled with magnificent Imperial fleet ships, and the majestic silhouettes of Imperial battlecruisers were clearly visible. Hundreds of battleships were firing at the same time, and the sound of gunfire was like thunder in the sky, which was intimidating.
At the landing site that had been cleaned several times by the fleet's firepower, entire battalions of Moebius Corps Marines and landing ships packed with combatants filed out, often with giant walking mechas more than ten feet tall.
The landing springboard creaked when stepped on, and the steel torrent of alloy armor and heavy machinery rolled in overwhelmingly.
In an instant, the firing and explosion sounds of plasma torpedoes and rockets were heard together. Countless artillery shells and rockets trailing flames passed over the heads of the soldiers, falling like raindrops on the menacing enemy troops, bringing them with them.
Come the earth-shattering roar and the inferno that bursts like fire.
Under the terrifying firepower, everything was wiped out.
This is the offensive method of the Imperial Moebius Corps: cover with fire, advance, establish a position, continue to cover with fire, continue to advance, and so on.
In addition, the Empire's cutting-edge weapons are all equipped in the Moebius Corps, and some are even in the experimental stage. For example, Swann and Regel installed flying stabilizers on the Moebius siege tanks they set up.
, reverse thrusters and jetpacks, allowing them to fire while airborne to the surface.
"My dear, this battle is really big." Tychus was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions. During the years when he followed Augustus in the Koprulu sector, he could see strange things.
There are too many, stretching your neck and croaking like a duck will only make you look ignorant.
"Where is my precious Odin?" he asked. "I'm ready for a big fight."
"Don't worry, I'll use you later." Augustus waved his hand, telling him to calm down.
"Jim." Then he turned to Renault next to him: "How is the situation with the Purifiers and Duram?"
"They moved very quickly and each has controlled a sky lock." Renault replied: "The armies of Artanis and Coralion are still advancing, and they are really unstoppable."
"The stars are also holding a fire in their hearts." Augustus nodded: "But our progress is not slow."
After a hard fight, the Moebius Corps has established a firm foothold at the landing site near the central sky lock and built fortifications on the spot. As Renault said: Build a battlefield, set up turrets, have siege tanks in front, and siege tanks in the back.
Bunker, our defense line will be impregnable.
These enemies that appear in Urna are extremely difficult to deal with. They are mainly composed of fanatical Tal'darin protoss and humans corrupted by hybrids. Among them, there are huge shadows that are moving on the ground - hybrids.
Leading these armies of servants loyal to Amon.
At the same time, the hybrids also caused a lot of trouble for the landing troops of the Moebius Corps. If the Moebius Corps were not a combat-savvy division specially built to fight the hybrids, they would inevitably attack with hybrid psychic powers.
It is difficult to move forward under the attack of mental pollution and mental pollution.
But precisely because of the need for frequent contact with hybrids, many Moebius Legion soldiers and even entire battleships were corrupted.
"What on earth are those disgusting beasts?" Tychus's blue eyes filled with malevolence were staring at the holographic screen of the tactical console.
The holographic screen is freezing on an extremely terrifying scene. In the center of the picture is an extremely huge hybrid monster. The monster's gloomy and evil face can remind anyone of the most terrifying nightmare he has ever had in his life. He has just eaten himself.
Everything that went down was spit out.
This monster has a heavy body and a black carapace covered with razor-like spikes. Its twisted head has a huge and gorgeous crown and a terrifying giant red eye. There are numerous tentacles on its raised back.
.When these tentacles are swung, they are like long, tough whips, and the ends seem to be tied with quenched dark red sharp knives, which look shocking and terrifying.
It is unusually huge. When it stands upright, it is almost as big as the largest human mecha. It is like a walking giant and can easily trample human positions. This newly emerged new variant of the hybrid is more powerful than the early hybrids.
The body is much larger, more powerful and brutal.
And it might not even be the biggest one. Imagine that Eamon would have many of these pets, but there would always be some that were particularly favored.
The giant hybrid on the screen was inserting its huge red claws that looked like flames into the cab of a Moebius Legion Thor mecha, as easily as cutting through butter with a hot knife.
Tychus knew that this was not an ordinary Thor mecha, but the elite Black Warhammer of the Empire. Compared with ordinary Thors, the Black Warhammer had upgraded armor and a more powerful cannon. Only the Elites and Aces of the Hundred Battles
Only the driver is qualified to drive it.
"This is the new hybrid variant that debuted in Urna," Raynor explained. "We call it the Hybrid Behemoth."
"It's the largest hybrid we've ever recorded, but I bet there will be bigger ones sooner or later."
"I have never seen this kind of monster." Zeratul also said: "They are like stronger variants based on the hybrid predator, and their physical functions have been further strengthened."
"Fortunately, it is not immortal." Augustus took over Renault's words and said, "Our heavy firepower is fully capable of dealing with this monster."
Thinking of the Moebius Legionnaires controlled by the hybrids, Augustus became increasingly disgusted and hated these twisted monsters.
"This is a warning. There may be more terrifying monsters hidden in the depths of Urna." Zeratul's excitement when he first arrived in Urna has mostly faded.
The presence of so many evil mixtures in such a holy place made him even more worried about the situation of the xel'naga in Urna.
Reno received a report at this time: "Augustus, look at this. Reports came from the front line that the enemy's offensive is weakening."
"General Riley has ordered a counterattack."
At this time, more than two hours had passed since the landing operation, and the bloodiest and most brutal fighting phase had ended. As more follow-up troops arrived at the landing site, the Moebius Corps finally firmly controlled the central sky lock and swept away
Clear out enemy forces trying to compete with them for control.
The medical soldiers were shuttled between the injured soldiers, using laser nail guns and nano medical kits to perform preliminary wound treatment, waiting for the arrival of the follow-up medical transport ship.
"Very good." Augustus nodded: "Hurry up and build fortifications and rescue the wounded."
"Your Majesty, there is a communication request from Executive Officer Coralion." A communications soldier said.
"Come in," said Augustus.
"Emperor Augustus Mengsk, we have occupied two Skylocks." Coralion said: "If the Terran Empire humans need help, we can deploy the Phoenix Archon mecha to your position."
The Purifiers were still accustomed to calling Talandar by his original name, Phoenix. Perhaps this name left such a deep impression on them that they couldn't change it for a while.
"...It's like deploying nuclear weapons." Tychus couldn't help but complained.
Immediately afterwards, Artanis also connected to the communication channel: "We have also completed the planned goal and are recalling the ground troops."
Since the Empire, Durham and the Purifiers all dispatched a large number of troops to the five Heavenly Locks at the same time, the roads between the various Heavenly Locks were quickly opened.
"Boss, the sensor shows that the void energy below is increasing." After a while, Swann's voice appeared in this channel again: "I marked a coordinate, and there is a door that is opening."
"You can send someone to have a look. I suspect that's the entrance."
"A gate to the void is opening." Zeratul's eyes burning with psychic flames became brighter.
"Yes." Artanis also said: "We also noticed it."
"We have to go in and find out," said Colorarion.
"Given the intricate corridors in the temple, it will be difficult for a large-scale army to deploy." Artanis expressed his opinion.
"So we still need to send an elite force." Renault said: "This matter is not difficult to handle. The important thing is to understand the situation inside first."
"Swan, how much do you know about the situation there?" Augustus said to Swan.
"Not much, I'm still sending out drones to investigate." Swann scratched his head: "But the void energy below is too strong, and our drones have become headless flies. The situation is very bad now, I can't wait to
Break it in half for one person to use."
"Continue your work." Augustus didn't give him any more trouble: "But there's no need to break the person in half."
"Your work is crucial, Engineer Swann." Artanis was always used to encouraging his subordinates, that is, sprinkling chicken soup or something, which was very effective for the protoss.
"Look, great hero." Swann said cheerfully.
"Great hero?" Artanis didn't know how to reply.
"So...Emperor Augustus, what is your decision?" Colorarion asked Augustus at this time.
For a moment, Artanis also looked at Augustus.
The leaders of the two protoss camps actually sought the advice of a human at the same time.
"Of course we have to go in." Augustus said in a firm tone: "And we have to do it quickly, otherwise the hybrid will be one step ahead of us."
...
Ten minutes later, Augustus, Renault, Zeratul and others took a spaceship and descended to the surface of Urna, arriving at the opening door of the temple.
The Emperor rarely visits the front line in person. In fact, even if he just sits in the Augustgrad Palace to let the soldiers know that he is still safe, it will definitely be much more useful to fire a shot and a cannon on the battlefield.
But this time, Augustus decided to go there in person. Renault and others tried to stop him, but in the end they failed.
Thinking about it, if the Urna Temple really involves the issue of Xel'Naga's successor, as the leader of a race, Augustus still has to go in person.
"Zeratul, you were injured before and shouldn't have come." Augustus knew that he would never be able to convince Zeratul to stay on the White Star and not explore the temple in this situation.
At this moment, they were standing in front of the suddenly opened door of the Urna Temple. The shining light shone out from it, as if it were the light from heaven. The hum of the void crystal echoed far away in the winding corridor, as if it were completely natural.
Beautiful music.
"Don't worry, Augustus." Standing in front of the temple gate, Zeratul let out a heartfelt laugh: "If it is too dangerous, I will definitely avoid it."
"It is precisely because of this alertness that I have been able to escape death countless times."
In fact, Zeratul couldn't quite understand what Augustus would say. He just noticed that the other party was worried about his safety. This made Zeratul feel that Augustus had noble moral character, because as a man he didn't have much psychic ability.
As a human being, he is much more fragile than himself.
After a while, Artanis arrived with a team of Templars and Dark Templars, preparing to enter the temple with Augustus.
But when Purifier Executor Koralion arrived in person and led a group of legionnaires, Artanis was really surprised.
"Mechanical High Templar... Adon, I must have made a mistake!" Artanis rarely could control his emotions.
The Purifier protoss do not have psychic powers because they are pure mechanical warriors, but what they saw has obviously subverted Artanis's knowledge. Then, the Purifiers must have achieved this through another way.
a little.
Augustus suspected that Artanis was even a little jealous.
"I was just as surprised as you were when I saw those Purifier Dark Templars, Artanis," Zeratul said.
In comparison, there's nothing unacceptable about a mechanical warrior loaded with a stealth template.
Tychus whispered that these ancestors of the protoss are quite fashionable and pay attention to advancing with the times.
