In the darkness, ferocious-looking hybrids stretched out huge black claws from their limbs covered with pieces of armor. They raised their broad crowns, splitting rows of terrifying jagged teeth and emitting terrifying sounds.
roars and eerie screams.
The hybrid Predator, a mass-produced variant that is closer in shape to the Zerg, is absurd and evil, and is the "perfect product" of genetic engineering.
They either moved quickly in the shadows of shrines and pillars, or used the flexible and strong appendages on their backs to cling to pilasters and steep walls. Their hard black carapace exuded a faint light in the dim light of the crystal clusters, as if
Snakes swimming quickly against the walls and ceiling.
Many years ago, even before Augustus Mengsk established his empire, Emile Narud, or Samir Duran, was secretly developing, producing and improving hybrid monsters.
These monsters will be used for the final battle.
"Be careful! It's a hybrid!" Renault shouted loudly on the communication channel: "Get ready to fire!"
"The hybrid has appeared. Aemon's minions are everywhere." Artanis also ordered:
"The enemy is coming. Templar, reveal your blade. Nerazim, draw your sword!"
"Purifiers, destroy these hybrids blocking the road." Coralion gave an order, and the Purifier Legion soldiers made of steel formed a solid battle formation and moved forward.
The first to attack were the Duram protoss warriors. High-ranking executive Artanis followed Kara's guidance and correctly channeled the anger in his heart into the psychic twin blades in his hands.
After a few flashes, Artanis ducked in front of a hybrid predator running wildly on all fours. With poetic grace, he dodged the vicious thrust of its claws and waved his angry psychic energy.
The blade severely cut off one of its raised claws, causing the giant monster to scream and scream.
Without exception, the executive officers of the Protoss Empire are also powerful warriors, and Artanis is even more proficient in the ways of Kara and the Void than anyone else.
With the Executor taking the lead, the Dalam protoss also moved forward bravely. As always, they chose to face the enemy head-on, igniting the psionic concentrated blades in their hands like glowing blades, and after a run-up, they charged towards the enemy coming from the darkness.
.
In an instant, the sharp blade burned and the sword danced.
The steps of the protoss were swift and graceful, combining agility and strength. Their high leaps even reminded Augustus behind them of big cats jumping up to prey on birds.
"Eamon!" With the help of several Templars, Artanis killed a hybrid predator with his own hands:
"Wherever you are watching this, face me!"
The prophecy involving Zeratul's death was really unacceptable to Artanis. He had never been so angry as he was today since the fall of Aiur and the attack of Sagurath by Orega.
Artanis felt that he had been insulted by Amon, but at the same time, he was also doubting in his heart, what if this was true. The more absurd, the more likely it is to be true. If he really killed Zeratul, then he
I will never be able to forgive myself.
Perhaps this is the fate that must be shouldered to save the protoss, whether it is Zeratul or Artanis.
At this moment, the dragon knights, stalkers and immortal troops opened fire immediately, the terrifying phase weapons emitted a dazzling flash, and the terrifying scorching plasma instantly lit up the entire hall, and the sound of burning flesh resounded in the wildly dancing fire.
Hissing sounds and monster roars.
When the Purifiers join the battle, the attack is like a storm. Their seemingly heavy mechanical bodies move on the ground like wind and fall like heavy hammers.
For the Purifier, the carrier of intelligent personality is just a consumable. Even if it is seriously injured, it can be repaired in time by replacing the accessories of the assembly line process.
"These bastards are really ugly." Tychus held a heavy machine gun in one hand and closed the drum filled with Kaimorian armor-breaking rounds with the other.
Tychus has been locked up in the solitary room for a long time, and the feeling is not to mention how uncomfortable it is. Now he is in urgent need of a blood-soaked battle to regain his passion for life.
But at the moment, the battle has not reached this side. The protoss are charging at the front, while the elite royal guards are behind to protect the emperor and others.
The Royal Guards are well-equipped, and the firepower of a Guards company is enough to suppress the battlefield. As the main ground support firepower, the Goliath Buick Company is additionally equipped with anti-aircraft locking rounds and Moebius M34 fear rounds, which has strong firepower.
Amidst the deafening roar, all kinds of Gauss rifle bullets swept across the area, and there were explosions of grenades, rockets, incendiary bombs and grenades everywhere, making the mixture of people fall on their backs.
"These hybrid predators seem to be more difficult to deal with than they were a few years ago." Augustus took a deep breath: "I hope this is just an illusion."
There are many specimens of hybrids immersed in solutions at the Imperial Skigel Research Station and other similar laboratories, and the hybrids that emerged from Urna appear to be larger and more powerful.
Hybrids, even this zerg-biased marauder, can affect the human psyche. The first thing scientists who are working on hybrids for the first time are told is that they must not stare into the eyes of hybrids because
They can control the human spirit and leave a stamp on their thoughts.
From then on, he served the mixture of people chosen by God Amon and became the messenger to carry out his will.
In the battlefield in front of them, whether it is the Templar or their Dark Templar relatives from Sagulath, every Protoss warrior who has been tempered for hundreds of years is a master of swordsmanship who has refined their combat skills to perfection.
In comparison, the hybrids with no strength are as clumsy as clumsy dancers who cannot keep up with the graceful steps.
But even so, the battle is extremely dangerous.
The hybrid predator in front of him was fighting a templar in close combat. At the same time, he actually raised his hand and dragged out another dark templar from the twisted shadows, pinched his shoulders and beat him hard.
Throw it out.
The ferocity and savagery of the zerg, the agility and power of the protoss, make it possible to defeat the enemy with a small number and never fall behind.
If the hybrid predator rushes into the human battle line, its destructive power will not even be inferior to that of an Ultralisk equipped with the "King's Blade". Generally speaking, without the support of large combat mechas or other heavy firepower, a
An Imperial Marine Corps can only rely on solid fortifications and powerful firepower to contend with this formidable enemy.
The Empire is not afraid of hybrids, but that doesn't mean every battle with hybrids is easy.
If you are alone on the battlefield and encounter a hybrid by accident, and the only thing you can rely on is the Gauss rifle in your hand, then if your commander happens to be not a fool, he will definitely let you run as far as possible.
"I sense more hybrids approaching," Zeratul reminded.
"They come with bad intentions." Renault always keeps track of the life support system status of each imperial force on the HUD display screen on his helmet to ensure that one of the severely damaged troops can retreat at the most necessary moment and order the other one.
Top to fill the battle lines.
"It seems that this is just a small appetizer before the main meal. The real terrible enemy is still behind." Augustus grabbed Tychus who was about to rush out.
Once Tychus is involved in a war, it will not be so easy to find where others are. Things like this happened a lot when Tychus was sent to fight in the imperial colonies. This bastard drove on the Odin battlefield.
Rampage, high and no one was around, and I only thought of calling the command center when I needed someone to repair the damaged mecha.
With waves of cold laughter, just as Zeratul said, more hybrids appeared.
"Hahaha, why bother to resist?"
They are hybrid Destroyers, protoss-like hybrids with slender limbs. But even with the twisted grace of the protoss, these monsters still appear grotesque and twisted, just stare at the creepy evil head, even
You can also see the brain tissue hidden under the translucent skull.
The hybrid Destroyer's fighting style is more like that of the Protoss, and it even has a similar plasma shield. Its terrifying mental attacks have once driven thousands of Moebius Legion soldiers into madness.
At this moment, even the armors were equipped with equipment to block mental attacks to protect the soul. Blood actually overflowed from the noses of some Imperial Guard soldiers. Even Augustus, who was under heavy protection, felt a surge of blood.
"Covert operations team, use EMP shells to suppress these hybrids." Renault ordered on the channel.
Ghost agents are naturally indispensable among the elite forces of the Empire, and among them, the covert operations force of the Führer Ghost and the Empire's chief ghost agent Nova Terra are the most elite.
These elite ghost agents had been hiding in the crowd waiting for orders. When Renault gave the order, powerful EMP shock waves spread out among the hybrid destroyers, clearing their shields.
Suddenly, battle cries, roars and explosions rang out together.
The fighting power of the hybrids was quite astonishing, and they were not afraid of death. For a while, two marauders dragged their seriously injured bodies and almost rushed in front of Augustus, but they were shot dead by the royal guards not long after.
The battle lasted for more than twenty minutes, and ended with the last hybrid being killed by multiple Purifier Legion soldiers. The hybrid's attack indeed caused a lot of chaos, but the three parties were all elites.
Elite.
The protoss, especially Artanis, were filled with rage and their fighting power soared, causing the hybrids to retreat steadily.
The protoss troops advancing with Augustus also fired a few shots, but they were all aimed at the hybrids on the ground who were seriously injured but not dead. At his current level, he would not be crying like Tychus.
He screamed and rushed forward, preparing to fight the hybrid in hand-to-hand combat.
At this time, the ground was already covered with the corpses of hybrid predators. Most of them were separated and dead. The protoss were very neat in fighting, and they always used their swords to strike.
However, the hybrid still caused some casualties to the protoss and humans. Raynor immediately ordered the Theta first aid team to treat the injured and send the seriously injured out of the temple.
The medics of Theta's first aid team are equipped with advanced Umoyan nano-repair robot Proxion serum and Proxion dual-tube healing ray gauntlets, which can even help the protoss heal their injuries.
Soon, the various troops gathered together again and prepared to move forward to explore this mysterious and dangerous temple.
Augustus walked towards Artanis, who was standing in front of several huge corpses of hybrid predators. His white executive robes were stained with no blood, and his eyes were as bright as a god of war.
He stared silently at the bloody corpses of these hybrids, as if to say that this was the fate of fighting against the Templars.
"Let's move on." Augustus confirmed that Cororarion and the Purifiers were still closely following him, walked to Artanis' side and said: "It is foreseeable that there will definitely be more than one hybrid in Urna.
These now.”
Artanis fully agreed with Augustus: "Be vigilant, warriors, there are greater challenges waiting for us ahead."
At this time, Zeratul, Raynor and others also came over, but Artanis, who had previously blocked the killing of gods and Buddhas, actually lost sight of Zeratul for a moment and did not dare to look at him.
"Artanis, your noble qualities are so valuable. It reminds me of Adun and Tassadar." Zeratul also noticed Artanis's reaction.
"You don't have to feel guilty about a prophecy."
"My brother Arcturus will tell you that he has never believed in prophecies." Augustus said: "Destiny is only created by one's own hands. Correct logic and correct choices determine a person's life.
"
"Let's move forward and get the damn truth out," Reno said.
"He is so cute and stupid." Tychus teased Artanis, and then said to Zeratul: "Zeratul, it seems we can only strike first."
Tychus is a sensible person and also knows how to deal with fire: "Chop off his head with a knife. How about you become the Archbishop of Durham? There is always someone who wants to save the protoss, why can't it be you."
This move could not help but draw an angry look from Selendis, but both Zeratul and Artanis burst out laughing from the rich emotional currents of the protoss.
"Keep going." Artanis only hesitated for a moment. Although the prophecy gave him a big impact, it was far from enough to shake the firm will of an executive!
"Templars! Clear the road ahead."
Augustus, Artanis, Colorarion, Zeratul and others walked side by side under the protection of the troops. Soon, they passed through the extraordinary hall and were all stunned by the magnificent scene in front of them.
He realized that if Urna even contained artificial continents and mountains, it would undoubtedly be the largest temple in the universe.
As if a towering wall rising from the horizon, the shining square stepped pyramid and the giant obelisk towering like a high-rise building extend infinitely along the diagonal and widen infinitely. The golden light shines from the dome, shining with the light of myth.
"These altars show that this place is called the Temple of Unity. Xel'Naga is somewhere inside." Artanis said:
"According to the prophecy, the two selected races need to work together to find the Hall of Revelation in the temple. Only when the two selected races appear together will the altar reveal the way to awaken the sleeping Xel'Naga."
