730 Koprulu Grand Stage If you have the courage, come
The Ark of Salvation, the Pride of Otalis, which was confirmed to have fallen into the hands of Amon, brought a large-scale Protoss Empire fleet, which launched an almost crazy attack as soon as it appeared.
Although they have disappeared for many years, the Supreme Council and its staunch followers who have completed the reorganization have chosen to return at this time, and their strength cannot be underestimated.
After the civil war in the Protoss Empire, division became inevitable. Tassadar finally could not bear to kill his compatriots, and finally parted ways with the Supreme Council, which was almost falling apart.
These are two forces representing tradition and change.
The Supreme Council took away 1/5 to 1/4 of the former Aiur population, which was a quite huge number for the increasingly declining Protoss population.
In the current Supreme Council fleet, there are particularly many Arbiters. This slow-moving support warship is the exclusive vehicle of the Arbitrator class and is imbued with the powerful psychic power of the Kara Apostles. The Arbiters are equipped with powerful
Space-time weapons are enough to turn the tide of the war.
After losing the support of the Templar class headed by Tassadar, more and more Arbiters joined the battlefield.
The elite guards and powerful psychic warriors who are loyal to the Council maintain the remaining glory of the Protoss Empire. Since the number of Templars under their command has been greatly reduced, the Supreme Council has to use more unmanned machines to enter the battlefield.
.
Ironically, under the rule of the Supreme Council, the Karai class has invisibly filled the power vacuum caused by the lack of the Templar class, and its status has actually been greatly improved.
On the contrary, Tassadar's efforts to establish a class system met with great resistance among the Dalam Protoss, mainly composed of Templars and Kalai.
The strength of the Supreme Council fleet was indeed somewhat beyond the expectations of the Emperor. He immediately mobilized the fleets of Mira Han and Alexey Stokov to attack, and at the same time deployed them around Aiur to deal with the attack of the insect swarm and the gold fleet.
The Purifier fleet also detached its fleet to come to support.
Led by the flagship Pride of Otalis, large numbers of ships gathered under the Supreme Council and fought out of the emerging space-time rifts. From the perspective of the imperial fleet, this fleet came completely from the direction of the sun, almost
Bathed in golden flames.
The Pride of Otalis is the Ark's sister ship of the same class as the Spear of Adun. Its design and completion are both a masterpiece of Karai engineering in that glorious era, dwarfing even the most powerful Imperial warships in the world.
The Star Spirit Empire of this era was huge and unparalleled.
It was an era when technology and ideas were extremely prosperous. The Protoss Empire only built three arks not because they could only build three. This is by no means an exaggeration.
Mira's raider fleet was the first to make contact with the Supreme Council fleet. This fleet is known for its almost swift and wild attack methods, and most of its soldiers come from the Port of the Dead.
There was no communication between the two sides before the battle began. The enemy ships opened fire as soon as they entered the range. In an instant, the area was filled with countless death rays, which were gorgeous and terrifying.
"Begin pre-war cockpit setup and adjustments"
On the flight deck of the Gorgon-class battlecruiser Annihilation Herald, Captain Wes Carter was making final adjustments in his car, waiting for the order to take off.
This is a Deimos Viking fighter plane. As its name suggests, Deimos is the god of fear, the embodiment of fear. Deimos Viking is stronger than ordinary Vikings and is one of its derivative models.
Since entering service, Weiss has flown this fighter plane to bring endless fear to the enemies of the Empire.
Looking left and right through the cockpit, the Viking fighter jets on the acceleration ramp were shining with a blade-like black luster under the light of the signal lights, and the mounted Lanzer Thunderbolts reminded people that they were genuine.
war machine.
At this time, Weiss couldn't help but think that many of the Viking fighter pilots were new faces. He had seen them before, and some of them even had the face of a child.
As the war progresses over time, personnel transfers become more and more frequent, and there is always a shortage of excellent and experienced fighter pilots.
First it was the zerg, then the protoss, and now it is the void creatures. Nowadays, some people still believe that the earth is the center of the universe and humans are the masters of the universe. How arrogant and ignorant.
With the roar of their engines and the roar that ripped through the air, multiple Viking fighters took off one after another until Weiss's fighter soared into the sky.
As soon as the Annihilation Messenger sailed out, Weiss saw a magnificent scene. The side of the mothership extended like a broken cantilever, until it got farther and farther. The Annihilation Messenger was a brand new ship.
Gorgon battlecruiser, bigger, stronger, better.
Only at this time can Weiss intuitively feel the hugeness of the Imperial fleet. Everywhere outside the radar scan map, there are Imperial warships connected together like pearl necklaces scattered in the wind.
.
Thousands of fighter planes are flying out of the mothership one after another. Their tall and straight posture makes people think of the unyielding war eagle.
In addition to Vikings, there are also a large number of Griffins, Valkyries, Ice Dragons and Wraith fighters. Although most of the equipment from the old era has been eliminated, some models that are widely praised in the army are still retained today.
Install new weapons, armor, shields and electronic equipment to meet more severe battlefield needs.
"Course confirmation."
Weiss drove the fighter plane quickly away from his own fleet, followed by many friendly fighter planes.
Just in front of them, a larger fleet was approaching quickly. Those golden-blue warships and light fighter planes were as gorgeous and delicate as ever.
Protoss.
Although those guys who think they are superior to others are extremely difficult to deal with and always have an unbearable sense of superiority, they are always much kinder and kinder than the zerg.
The key to making friends with the protoss is whether you can gain their respect and attention, which is much harder than killing a thousand alien dragons.
When the Empire first established military exchange relations with the Duram Protoss, Weiss had dealt with those Protoss fighter pilots. At that time, he had just returned from the training course at Tarsonis Air Force Base and felt as helpless as a superman.
Impossible.
At that time, the insect swarm had been driven back, and the long-lost peace finally arrived. It was a good time.
Weiss considered the possibility of fighting the protoss, but never thought it would happen so soon. After all, their relationship with Durham seemed to be unbreakable. Unexpectedly, the two sides still went to war.
A huge shadow entered Weiss's field of vision at this moment, and the Annihilation Messenger actually seemed insignificant compared to it.
No matter in terms of beauty and elegance, or armament and firepower, no human warship can compare with it so far. In other words, it can only be the product of an extremely powerful interstellar empire reaching its peak and its ambitions reaching its peak.
"Target found." Weiss glanced at the numbers on the heads-up display and realized that this thing was really huge: "She occupies the entire radar scan. It is undoubtedly the pride of Altaris."
From the slender bow to the graceful broad rear deck, the giant ship was shrouded in a breathtaking halo, like the stars on the celestial sphere moving along their fixed trajectory.
Now the Pride of Otalis has fallen into darkness, as if the beautiful ship made of gold and blue crystal is covered with dark blue crystal traces of void corruption, but this cannot cover up her beauty and elegance at all.
Like a city with lights, the countless crystals dotted on the Pride of Otalis flicker little by little, making it extremely spectacular against the dark background of the universe.
If he wasn't in the middle of a war, Wes might actually think this was beautiful.
Wes knew he was no bigger than any random speck of light on the Pride of Altaris.
The Pride of Otalis is so beautiful and powerful that even the will to resist can hardly arise in front of her. In comparison, even Gorgon seems small and broken.
On the human side, probably only the Xel'Naga World Ship can compete with it.
"Discovered the Phoenix fighter fleet, ten o'clock direction, directly above the relative position."
"Under attack!"
"I can't stand it anymore!"
A large group of protoss fighter planes are approaching in the direction of the Pride of Altaris. These proud phoenixes have smooth body curves, and their huge and scorching tail flames really look like blue wings.
The Duram protoss only began to equip a large number of Phoenix fighters after the Brood War. I don't know where the Supreme Council got these from.
The Phoenix fighter's maneuverability far exceeds that of most human aircraft. It is no exaggeration to say that being targeted by them, whether in the atmosphere or in outer space, is bound to be a dead end.
"Radar locks on and uses violent missiles to attack the target."
The speed of both the enemy and ourselves was very fast. Weiss had just put a Phoenix fighter jet that was heading straight towards him into the aiming circle. His wingman, another Viking fighter jet on the left, approached the fighter jet with great tacit understanding.
Expand the pincer maneuver.
But the opponent's speed was too fast, and he suddenly disappeared from sight due to the sudden increase in speed of the auxiliary thruster.
Most of the time, the phoenix is far out of sight and will not be easily caught by you. You can only use missiles to deal with these extremely fast guys.
Two missiles weighing several hundred pounds exited the cabin. The interlaced missile trajectories quickly disappeared beyond the visual distance. The locked Phoenix fighter immediately rolled and performed evasive maneuvers, leaving the missiles far behind.
A series of exploding light spots kept flashing in the distance. Due to the long distance, Weiss couldn't tell whether they were missiles or fighter planes.
"Target lost." One of the two wingmen behind Weiss, a Viking fighter, was reporting, but suddenly shouted: "They are above! Avoid! Avoid!"
Three Phoenix fighter jets suddenly appeared behind Wes, chasing him fiercely, and they were incredibly fast. With extraordinary dexterity and maneuverability, these Phoenixes were able to turn around with incredible agility and quickly approach their enemies.
, launches an attack like a flashpoint.
The author of the Viking fighter operating manual strictly seems to require that all his pilots be supermen, but more often than not, the protoss is the real superman. He reacts faster, his thinking is more agile, and he dominates the sky.
They have always been top fighters.
A Viking was hit, and two blue ion energy beams passed through its outstretched wings and immediately shattered it. The pilot of the fighter plane may have fainted, or maybe in a split second
He died without saying a word.
For a moment, a young, energetic face flashed before Weiss's eyes.
For Viking pilots, death was an uncommon occurrence.
Weiss and the remaining Viking fighter jets immediately split up and sped away, and the three Phoenix fighter jets following them had to split up to pursue them.
When Weiss noticed that there was only one Phoenix fighter chasing him, he vowed to make the other party regret his slight.
The Phoenix fighter was still in hot pursuit, and the powerful thrust of the Demos Viking fighter's thrusters prevented it from being so helpless. The speed of the two fighters was still rising. If they were in the atmosphere, this would be enough.
They disintegrated instantly.
Only after fighting against these Phoenix fighters do you know how difficult they are to deal with, and Weiss knows this very well. Weiss has been a Viking pilot for several years, but these Protoss fighter pilots may have been flying Phoenix fighters before
He has a hundred or two hundred years of flying experience.
But it will be easier to deal with them now, because the anger in Kara will affect the judgment of these pilots.
Fortunately they are already half crazy.
In a very short period of time, Weiss continued to climb or dive.
The universe is not a flat surface. To be precise, there is no concept of ground and sky, which places higher demands on fighter pilots. But similarly, real ace pilots can also imagine their own position at will.
Defeat enemies from any angle and in any way.
Enemy planes are always following closely behind, and as long as one mistake is made, it may be doomed, but Weiss is the winner.
He kept turning and performing high-speed maneuvers, guessing that the enemy was actually going crazy. At a certain moment, the Phoenix fighter jet jumped out from under his fighter plane, and immediately opened up a distance of several thousand yards.
Weiss adjusted the nose and angle of the plane, imagining that he was diving downwards, locked onto the Phoenix fighter, selected six missiles, and fired them all.
This time, the attack finally worked. Wes heard a silent scream, and he didn't know whether he was calling Cass or Aden, or begging the gods to forgive him for his crimes.
He flew over the two balls of fire created by the enemy planes, secretly calculating that this was the third Phoenix he had shot down. Among all the enemies, the most difficult one to deal with was probably the Devourer. That monster remains to this day.
Still fresh in Wes' memory.
Unknowingly, he was very close to the Pride of Otalis.
At the same time, Weiss was surprised to find that another behemoth appeared, and it was the Arkship Spear of Adun.
A unique scene was displayed in front of Weiss. Two unparalleled protoss arks were bombarding each other. There were countless flashing light spots in the two directions of the evenly matched battleships, which were countless human and protoss warships. (
