People say that even though the emperor never prayed to the God of War, he was favored by him. Augustus Mengsk ascended to the throne was destiny, because the goddess of fate kissed this man from Uxx on the occasion of his birth.
Tyrling's boy.
This is a joke.
I can crush him to death with just one finger. Alarak thought with malice.
But Alarak knew that he had to be cautious. In this huge military alliance led by the Tyranids, he was really insignificant. Before being promoted to a high position, Alarak was just a person who had not yet become a promotion in the promotion chain of ruthless people.
It reaches the unknown people, so he also knows how to be patient and prepared.
At least, that was the case before becoming a high-ranking lord.
To put it harshly, he was just standing begging for food now, but he was determined that Augustus and Artanis had to help him.
"There is no need for me to remind you of the importance of military speed." Alarak narrowed his scarlet slender eyes and stared at Augustus who was walking towards him.
He put aside what had just happened and adopted a condescending tone, as if he was the one giving the orders:
"Augustus Mengsk, the only way to defeat your enemies is to do better than them. While Marash's supporters are dispersed among the death fleets fighting the primitive zerg swarm, you should immediately send a force
The army attacks Slane!"
"You are right." Augustus glanced at Alarak. What Alarak said was exactly what he did, but he did not want to appear more anxious than the other party.
There was one of the largest leading party right in front of him, and he had been left alone for a while, eager to fight his way back to Slane.
"So you agree?" Alarak walked to the other side of Augustus and walked side by side with him. He was wearing armor and was much taller than humans without power armor.
Artanis walked on the other side of Augustus, with Alarak on the left and right, very conspicuous.
"Why not?" Augustus asked Alarak: "As you said, we should send an army to Slane."
"Command by me?" Alarak was very satisfied with Augustus's attitude, but he did not show it. In the past, Augustus either always contradicted him, or he just ignored him.
Except for the few upgraders who stood at the top of the chain of promotion in the past, when had Alarak ever suffered such grievances?
This idiot emperor thinks he can sit on the heads of future high-ranking lords and dictate terms. Does this make him appear to be very powerful?
childish.
"Commanded by Artanis." Augustus looked at Artanis next to him, who also agreed.
"Artanis... I hope you are not mistaken." Alarak was not annoyed. Although Tal'darin looked down on the Templars, he also recognized their strength.
"But we still need your strength." Augustus emphasized again.
"Hmph." Alarak snorted softly: "As expected."
Augustus glanced at Alarak again. I wonder if Alarak would have been stunned by the dog emperor if he had said "Hong Guo Guo, you are so cute".
"The most powerful Templars and Dark Templars under my command volunteered to join this expedition to save the Tal'darin compatriots enslaved by Amon and give them freedom." Artanis then said.
"Freedom? Freedom is just an illusion given by the strong to the weak. They don't need freedom." Alarak said: "Make no mistake, Artanis, why do you always have to struggle with freedom."
"Some people are born to be ruled, while others rule others. This is Tal'darin. But the chain of promotion is fair. Through strategy and killing, the strong can still achieve class ascension, unlike the eldest son of your god.
.”
"It's really cruel fairness. Our concepts are indeed very different." Artanis admitted: "The past system of the Protoss Empire was too rigid. My mentor and I worked hard to reform, but there were many obstacles."
"At least now you don't have to worry about it anymore." Alarak said sarcastically.
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up on my people." Artanis said sharply.
"What a waste of time, they have long been hopeless, you know this." Alarak said: "When I seize the position of high lord of Marash, the Death Fleet will immediately declare war on Amon.
"
"We will only do it when we feel the time is right," Artanis shot back.
Alarak was very dissatisfied that he had been excluded from high-level decision-making. He knew that Augustus and others had plans in mind, but he knew nothing about the details. In general, Augustus did not
He was not as lacking in confidence as he showed, or even confident. He was definitely not pretending, otherwise Alarak would not have had to follow a fool.
They still don't trust themselves, that's for sure.
In his heart, Alarak regards everyone as a fool, but his cleverness lies in assuming that everyone is smart.
"You shouldn't be here." Kerrigan's red hair was hanging loose. The shoes under her feet had long gone, so she could only stand barefoot. In addition, her clothes were not even affected by the battle.
signs.
"I sense that Narud is still alive - even though he has been severely injured."
"I'm not afraid of him." Augustus' expression remained unchanged: "I think he should be afraid of me."
"How are you feeling? Are you hurt?"
"Actually, I feel very good." The Empress of the Empire, who always showed a dignified and elegant image, cheered cheerfully, clasping her hands together with her fingers behind her back, and pushing her back to the top of her head, stretching out her almost perfect curves.
Kerrigan's figure has been maintained very well, and the youthfulness of a girl has faded away, showing the plumpness of a mature woman. There are no wrinkles visible on her face, which may be related to psychic powers, but it is difficult to say accurately, because
Tosh looks at least twenty years older than he is.
"When I was in the palace, I always felt that the power accumulated in my body could not be released."
"Then, this is good news for me." Augustus's face looked much older for a moment.
Augustus looked towards Narud's original position. At this time, the thick fog caused by the explosion had dissipated. The bridge deck paved with huge rocks was full of pits and ravines left by the battle. Surprisingly,
, all the damaged hulls are shining with green light, and they are repairing themselves while absorbing the void energy that has not dissipated around them.
Augustus still didn't see Narud at this moment, but he was sure that he was somewhere ahead.
The bridge of the world ship is flat and wide, and Narud can only hide behind the numerous consoles, instrument tables and crystal cores.
"I'll go ahead and find out." Talandar felt deeply ashamed that he could only watch from the sidelines just now. He had already "died" once, and his psychic powers were no longer as powerful as before. He was really powerless.
Augustus did not stop Tarandal and let him go. Although Tarandal's Praetor Mecha is unique, he has many such mechas on the Cebros.
for backup.
If we unfortunately lose one Talandar, we can immediately deliver more Talandars loaded with Revenge Protocol to the enemy's position.
Tarandar strode forward, closely followed by Artanis, Vorazun and their respective warriors, while Augustus continued forward under the protection of the royal guard.
At this moment, a deep voice sounded: "This is just the beginning. Eamon whispered everything from the nebula. He told you that he would come back, he predicted destruction, extinction and the end of everything...
..”
"Prophecy?" Augustus said to himself, you are still pretending:
"I'm standing here. If Eamon can predict my death, why doesn't he do it now?"
Immediately, Augustus thought that this might be a "Who dares to kill me" flag, which was not very auspicious, so he stopped talking.
Although Eamon cannot predict a person's death, he will carve a prophecy in front of you and then kill you himself, thus verifying the prophecy.
"And your end and destruction are on the edge of my sword." Talandar was not scared at all. He is now a true materialist warrior.
On the battlefield, Talandar's Archon Mecha is a real weapon of war. It is a real steel beast, capable of wrestling with monsters like Omega Thunder Beast.
Talandar quickly found and pulled out Narud with his pair of mechanical limbs that were powerful enough to chop down giant trees. At that time, Narud's power was almost exhausted and he had returned to the appearance of human Narud. Even though
Even so, he was almost out of human shape, and his carefully tailored dress was completely torn on his body.
"Let me see Augustus Mengsk! Let me see Augustus Mengsk!" Finally, Narud stopped being mysterious and wanted to see Augustus. Since he
Regardless of this incarnation, the attitude could actually be a little tougher.
The smartest way is that Narud can deceive Augustus that he has planted countless hidden dangers in the Tyran Empire, forcing Augustus to launch a great purge and plunge mankind into endless civil war.
"You can't erase my contribution to the Tyranid Empire!" Narud was still saying when he was carried by Talandar and brought to Augustus.
Narud's face was already in disrepair, and green light shone from his face like a broken human skin mask, which was very scary.
"You're right." Augustus saw the monster in front of him, but he was not worried that it would hurt him. Standing here were Artanis Alarak, two red and blue goalkeepers, and Kerry Ganvora.
Dear, there is nothing to be afraid of.
"You will leave a colorful page in the history books, and my historians will describe you as a true hero, but unfortunately you were corrupted by Eamon, used by him, and eventually led to an irreversible fall."
Having said this, Augustus really sighed, showing a look like "I am deeply hurt by my love for you."
"I once thought that the person least likely to betray me was you."
"Haha... I just want to ask you, when did you find out?" Narud didn't believe it at all.
"From the beginning." Augustus said truthfully: "When you first appeared in front of me using the identity of Emil Narud."
"You lied." Narud stared at Augustus:
"impossible!"
"...Look." Augustus sighed longly: "Emile, when did I lie to you?"
"You dog." Narud thought that after becoming Xel'Naga, he would no longer be angry at lower creatures, and Augustus was still pretending here.
Suddenly, Narud's appearance changed drastically, and Augustus found that the old man in front of him had turned into a little girl with silver-gray hair.
Augustus felt as if someone had slapped him in the face.
"Get out of the way!" Alarak used his big hands covered with black claws to lift Augustus behind him, as if he were grabbing a sleeping cat on his lap:
"Don't hold me back!"
Alarak was not here to save Augustus. If he died, who would send troops to help him ascend to the position of high-ranking lord?
But Alarak soon discovered that Narud did not burst out with much power, and could not understand why Augustus looked so painful.
"I am the nightmare you cannot escape." Narud changed many appearances in an instant, becoming Thomas Omo, the mecha pilot who died to protect Augustus...
..In the end, he became the authority he once fiercely resisted, the majestic patriarch, the hero of Korhal, and the savior of the people.
His father, Angus Mengsk.
In Augustus' memory, Angus was once extremely tall, like a straight mountain, as if it could never be conquered.
But now Angus is much older, his hair is sparse, and his wrinkles are piled up. Suddenly, it is incredible that he has shrunk by a whole circle, and he has truly become an old man. The destruction of Korhal and the sacrifices of countless people still torment Angus.
Gus, he's become a lot more fragile.
Augustus could easily defeat him now, but he only felt pain.
"Do it...execute the man in front of you." Narud said to Augustus in the image of Angus.
"Okay, do it." Augustus agreed to him without any mercy.
"No, you can never know my past."
Narud, you failed because you didn't bother to truly understand me.
When Alarak crushed Narud with violent psychic waves, he was still saying: "You have lost! Amon has returned!"
Some time later, Renault and Tychus found Augustus and reported the results of the battle to him.
"We have reoccupied the Xel'Naga World Ship." Raynor said to Augustus: "But it was severely damaged. Swann told me that even if there were sufficient manpower and resources, it would take them at least four months to repair it.
A battleship."
This means that the world ship cannot keep up with the next battle plan.
"Tell Swann that no problem is a problem as long as it can be solved with money." Augustus knew what kind of commitment Swann wanted.
"Who doesn't know how to talk big words?" Renault expressed disdain.
"You are the only one who is not qualified to speak against me." Augustus choked back.
"So we still have to fight into the void?" Tychus said with a don't-trick-me expression.
"Hell, cowboys should roam the world." Reno said with high spirits: "The void is the ends of the world."
"Jimmy, you know what my motto is?"
"Eat, drink, whore and gamble?" Renault said "Ah".
"Damn it, I am the only one in heaven and on earth." Tychus's face darkened.
Out of politeness and respect for his old friend, Renault remained silent.
"Is that Narud dead?" Tychus asked Augustus nonchalantly: "I heard that he is an evil Xel'Naga shape-shifting creature and can change anything."
"Yes." Augustus nodded and said, "But I think we only destroyed Narud's incarnation, and his true body still survives somewhere in the void."
"Exactly like a real person." Renault said: "A perfect copy, a clone."
"You beast reminded me, I never thought Narud could be used in this way." Tychus said: "If he can become anyone, I hope he can become Daisy."
"That pink-haired girl with big breasts? Believe me, Narud would never do that even if he died." Raynor was shocked. Tychus knew many heavy-handed ways to play, but he didn't expect that he could also attack inhuman creatures.
"When you see Narud's true form in the void, you will definitely regret what you said today." Augustus said to Tychus.
