Most of the surface of this ever-twilight star is astonishingly barren, with a few indigo oceans separating a continent full of deserts and rugged hills. There are only a few miraculous places with sparse vegetation growing on it.
The Rizul Temple is located on a raised plateau, bathed in a hazy purple light. It is a spectacular group of ancient buildings. The symmetrical spiral patterns and rotating halos on the building echo the twilight sky.
Thousands of purple crystal clusters like javelins are inserted diagonally between the majestic walls of the temple. The harmonic hum of the matrix echoes between heaven and earth, and an unreal feeling of tranquility, remoteness, harmony and unity emerges.
born.
Standing under the Temple of Lizul, even the most impetuous and anxious heart will find unprecedented tranquility. This is a temple of the Nerazim Protoss and a place of meditation and practice for the Dark Templar warriors.
Conquer the void with practice and will.
This was not the first time Augustus had been to Sagulath, but he had always gone to Taimatros, the capital of the Nerazim protoss, to meet with Tassadar, and he had never been to such a far place.
The Dark Templars told Augustus that Sagulas is a place full of power. Their family has been wandering here for thousands of years, but from the Sea of Sorrow to Katuul Province, from the vast Sagulas
From the Gurath Highlands to the Xel'Naga Temple, there are still many mysterious places on this planet that have not been fully explored.
Those known and excavated offerings are regarded as sacred places that cannot be desecrated, such as the Temple of Rizul.
Augustus stood in the middle of the circular courtyard of the Rizul Temple that echoed light and rhythm. Under the hazy and dim twilight, the distant Holy Mountain of Naszar was condensed into an invisible blue-purple color.
The light spots are the dazzling brilliance emitted by the crystal veins all over the foothills and mountain tops. In the dim twilight of Sagulas, this majestic holy mountain shines like a beacon.
Nerazim regards the holy mountain of Nazzar as a holy place, which happens to contain the richest minerals in Sagulath. The Council of Bishops of Durham once proposed to mine the crystal veins on the holy mountain of Nazzar.
In order to build a golden fleet of warships, Vorazun, the daughter of the matriarch Razagar, argued hard and persuaded them to abandon this plan.
Under the invasion of the powerful culture of the El Protoss, the ancient traditions and customs of the Nerazim Protoss of Saguras are gradually disappearing. The radical faction headed by Vorazun in the Duram Light Council naturally does not want Nerazim to
The Zim Protoss were assimilated by the El Protoss and became their vassals.
This is a microcosm of the contradictions and conflicts between the El Protoss and the Nerazim Protoss within Duram. Different positions and even cultural differences have led to serious differences between them on many issues. If it weren't for Tassadar,
With the support of the leader of the Protoss and the support of Rashagar, the union of the protoss' true Durham is full of difficulties.
But since Kara has been completely controlled by Eamonn, the internal conflicts in Durham can be put aside for the time being.
"Your Majesty, hybrids and zerg are still pouring in here through the Xel'Naga portal leading to El." Imperial Admiral David Jones is in Augustus.
Next to him, he is a middle-aged man with a calm demeanor, standing breathless and focused like an ancient swordsman.
Everyone, including Augustus, knew that David Jones was one of the most outstanding naval commanders of this era, an old-school general who pursued a duel-like deadly attack on the battlefield.
Augustus summed it up in one sentence, that is, he is still using ancient tactics to fight against the front.
"The swarm has almost destroyed the entire Taimatros. This historic Dark Templar city is being destroyed, leaving only the southwest city that has not been destroyed." General Jones is tall and thin, with a square chin, a low forehead, and a complexion.
He is ruddy, with a pair of sharp eyes that are calm and intimidating. He wears a set of golden-red power armor, with golden imperial emblems on his shoulder armor and greaves.
Sagurath is dimly lit at all times of the day, so the moon and stars here shine particularly brightly. After hearing this, Augustus looked towards the south of the Rizul Temple, where the city of Tematros was hanging low.
Under the silver stars.
In Augustus's impression, Taimatros was a glorious city with extremely dark templar aesthetics. The entire city was shrouded in the fluorescent green flash of dark crystal, as if it were a black crystal city rising in green fire.
.This is a dreamlike and charming city, full of imagination and creativity. All the Dark Templar cities Augustus has seen since then cannot compare with Taimatros.
At the end of the horizon, Taimatros is burning.
Even the most glorious and majestic city could not escape the fate of being destroyed by Amon. The Dark Templar spent a thousand years building Taimatros, transforming it from a landing outpost into a magnificent city, and destroyed the city.
But it only takes a very short time.
Augustus had seen many destroyed cities and many ruins standing on the scorched earth. He had seen them melt like candles in the flames, and even the giant towers that reached into the sky were turned into pools of molten iron.
At present, the Temple of Lizul is one of the few areas in Sagulath that has not been invaded by hybrids and zerg armies.
Across the Sagulas, terrible earthquakes followed one after another as the continental plates fissured. Magma spewed tens of thousands of feet into the air, and rivers of magma that were clearly visible from high-altitude orbits continued to form.
Just as Augustus had seen on the planet Atrias before, a huge void rift with a diameter of thousands of miles is forming on the surface of Sagulas' planet, and it is constantly spitting out terrifying scarlet void energy, which is terrifying
The shadow of the void erodes every inch of land at an incredible speed.
Sagurath is being pulled closer to the void at an astonishing speed. From a cosmic scale, this planet is just a speck of dust in the vast galaxy. It is insignificant in the void where countless celestial bodies are formed and destroyed, but it is
The last home of the Dark Templar.
"It seems we are still too late." Artanis looked at the Twilight City of Taimatros, which was about to be destroyed by flames, and could not hide the sadness in his heart: "There is violent void energy surging under the surface of Sagurath.
, I can feel Eamon’s overwhelming anger from it.”
After the fall of Aiur, people such as Tassadar, Artanis, and Phoenix led their people to Sagurath and established a new home on this dimly lit planet. Even though they were in Sagurath
His new home, the city of New Antioch, is equally majestic, and he always misses those sun-drenched years in Al.
In that great escape that no El Protoss would want to remember, all precious things and works of art had to be temporarily abandoned, and all spaceships had to be vacated to transport people and important supplies. If it weren't for Augustus
The Tyranid humans reached out to help them in time, and more eldest sons of God may have died in that catastrophe.
Now, Thagurath is about to fall, and both his people and the Dark Templar are once again in dire straits.
The Protoss Empire has many colonies, and many El Protoss who fled to Sagulas were evacuated to these worlds. Even so, tens of millions of El Protoss still live in Sagulas, and
Most of them are Kalai class civilians with no fighting ability.
Artanis cannot ignore that the number of Nerazim protoss is not large to begin with, and most of the population is in Sagulath. This catastrophe is even more devastating to them.
"I don't know what the Purifiers of Coralion will make." Augustus looked at Artanis and said, "But I think the Purifiers will be more inclined to use fire to cleanse all the zerg infections. This is
Their style."
"The command center has just received a message. It is looking for you, Your Majesty." At this time, a communications soldier carrying a holographic projector found Augustus.
When the holographic projection device was turned on, an unexpected dark templar appeared on the screen.
It is Vorazun, the daughter of Rashagal, the current Nerazim matriarch.
Ever since Augustus met the Nerazim matriarch Rashagal, her health seems to have been in poor health. She has become older and weaker, really like a dying old man. Over the past few years, she has become older and weaker.
The time was only a short period of time for the protoss, but the impact it exerted on Rashagal was particularly obvious.
As time went by, Rashagar rarely appeared in public, and left the clan's affairs entirely to her daughter.
"Thank you for coming to support Sagulath at such a critical moment, Emperor Augustus Mengsk, Nerazim will never forget your kindness..." Vorazun saw O
Gustus and Artanis then said: "Praise the gods, Artanis, you are still alive."
"Aemon corrupted Kara, and it was the Executor of Coralion and Emperor Augustus who saved me and my fleet." Artanis immediately said: "Vorazun, how is the situation now?"
"The hybrid army and the insect swarm destroyed our city, and the Shadow Guards lost all." Vorazun said sadly: "Everything happened so suddenly, the Templars fell into madness, and they were attacking in the blink of an eye.
We launched an attack, and then the Xel'Naga portal to El was opened... There are traces of the battle everywhere."
"We are trying to evacuate the remaining people, but there is no guarantee that we can support their safe evacuation."
There are many Dark Templar warriors who followed Tassadar and joined the Golden Fleet to participate in the expedition to regain Aiur. This is also the reason why Sagulath's defensive strength is insufficient.
And when their homeland of Sagulas was in flames of war, these warriors were unable to return.
Only one thing is certain, Amon does not need warriors that he cannot fully control, which is why the Tal'darin Protoss will eventually become an outcast. It can be expected that the Dark Templar warriors in the Golden Fleet will be treated without hesitation
The cleansing was carried out by their Templar comrades.
"We must rescue the survivors on Sagulas as much as possible and move them to a safe place." Augustus said immediately: "My warriors and the Purifiers of the Corola Leon Executor will help you."
"Thank you for your support... Fortunately, most of the protoss are concentrated in the large cities of Taimatros and New Antioch, which makes large-scale rescue and evacuation possible." Wo.
Razun continued: "There is also chaos in the Council of Light and Shadow...everything is in chaos."
"I don't know what happened in your new Antioch, but the Calais were much less affected than the Templars, and many remained sane - which is puzzling, because of their will
Far less powerful than the Templar class."
"Perhaps Eamon only needs strong men among the Templars to work for him, rather than incompetent and weak craftsmen." A discordant voice suddenly came out, and the first ascended Alarak sneered coldly: "
But even so, Eamon's madness and rage are enough to drive those poor guys crazy."
"Tsk tsk tsk~"
"I advise you to give up. Even if not one of them is left alive, it doesn't matter." Alarak said, "I'm not here to save lives and heal the wounded."
"I don't understand what is worth wasting time on this dirty little planet? We should go to Slane immediately, defeat Marash, and regain my position as high lord."
"Zeratul and his Dark Templars have helped me a lot, and the Tyranid Empire will not ignore the fall of Sagulath." Augustus just said: "In the dark future, we can only do our best as much as possible.
Only by gathering all the forces that resist Amon can we turn defeat into victory."
"I thought you were smart enough and figured everything out."
"Hmph -" Alarak's snort was not aggressive at all, and he did not respond with sharp words as usual.
He knew this was a way to provoke a general and would not be fooled.
"Artanis, why is there a Tal'darin beside you?" Vorazun asked.
"I am Alarak, the first person to be promoted to Tal'darin." Alarak slightly narrowed his eyes that were shining with scarlet psychic flames, and said in a Tal'darin-style euphemism: "Dark Templar, you are the most important person."
Well worth my time, I can't stand fools."
"I don't care who you are." Vorazun didn't have time to wait for Alarak to finish. The fact was just as she said, she didn't care about the identity of this Tal'darin protoss.
"Your stupidity is beyond my imagination!" Alarak yelled and immediately shot back.
"Aranak is our new ally." Artanis couldn't find anything good to say when introducing Alarak to Vorazun: "...Aranak is determined to lead his people out of Egypt.
Meng’s cruel rule, so they stood on our side.”
"With all due respect, it is not a wise choice to blindly trust a Tal'darin. They do not keep their promises, are extremely barbaric, and may betray at any time." Vorazun said: "The Tal'darim will stand behind you.
A sharp knife was drawn from the shadow."
"You are not worthy of my surprise attack from behind." Alarak sneered: "I can defeat you from the front! Dark Templar!"
"It depends on how you view this Tal'darim, Artanis." Vorazun ignored Alarak and looked at Artanis.
"..." Artanis was speechless.
As for how Artanis viewed Alarak, it can only be said that he was confused.
Who is Alarak in his heart?
"Tsk..." Alarak clicked his tongue again. He had known that he was not trusted by these fellow protoss, and he did not expect them to be so easy to deceive.
"...There is no time to waste." Vorazun looked at Augustus again: "Emperor Augustus, I implore you to send additional reinforcements to Tematros to help us evacuate the civilians."
"We will never forget what happened today."
"Well... we are marching towards Teimatros and New Antioch, hoping that the Dark Templars will have enough ships to transport the refugees." Augustus looked in the direction of Taimatros and said.
"Advance." General Jones ordered over the command channel.
Among the criss-crossing rivers and soft sandbanks outside the Rizul Temple, the Terran Empire legions are gathering in earnest, and all kinds of heavy-armored combat mechas have been deployed to a more solid surface. Such a huge
When the army spreads out on the ground, it is an extremely spectacular sight. You can see the advancing torrent of steel and the dark marines pressing on the ground.
In the hazy mist over Taimatros, a fierce air battle had already begun. The pirate ships of the Dark Templar never gave up the fight for a moment, and now they have received support from the Imperial Viking fighter planes.
"Dehaka." Augustus called softly, and amidst the vibrations that shook the entire Rizul Temple, a terrifying creature with a double row of sword-shaped bone plates on its back broke out of the ground.
This giant monster like Tyrannosaurus Rex broke out of the ground. It was incredibly huge, incredibly powerful, and its solid bone plates were filled with terrifying power like magma and flames.
"There are many powerful essences here." Dehaka said word by word, running towards the distant battle line: "And we will hunt them."
"Aranak, if you want to achieve cooperation, you must show corresponding sincerity." Augustus finally turned to Alarak: "This is the rule of the transaction."
"We will help you reach the top of the Chain of Ascension, and in our eyes, the life of every civilian is more important than your position as a high-ranking lord."
"Remember, this is just a deal." Alarak turned to Augustus and said that he was not sending troops to save talents.
