The White Star has descended to an altitude of 40,000 feet above the surface of Aiur, and fell into a large area of blood-colored clouds.
Upward, more than three hundred Imperial battlecruisers are also passing through Aiur's atmosphere. From the sky to the horizon, bright comet-like wakes can be seen, as if they are being lifted down by flames. Thousands of them can travel within the atmosphere.
The frigates followed closely behind, followed by transport ships full of marines, escorting star fighters and carrier-based tactical aircraft.
Between the Gorgons as huge as cities, the Valkyrie frigates and Liberators filed out in a row. Their hulls were smooth and graceful, with the classical beauty of the star battleships of the old Earth era, projecting on the science ship.
Looming under the defense matrix, it is like a spear thrown by God. Smaller Viking fighters, Wraith fighters and Iron Crows pass through the mighty fleet, like schools of fish swimming nimbly in the water.
The remaining two-thirds of the Imperial fleet stayed in Aiur's earth-lunar orbit. Each squadron launched orbital bombardments at ground targets non-stop. The terrifying thermal particle beams tore through the clouds like orange-red blades of light falling from the sky.
, cutting the earth and stirring the boiling ocean.
Looking down, under the burning of the beam weapon, this once beautiful and picturesque land has become red and hardened like a pottery embryo in a kiln, and finally turned into a puddle of heavily condensed, broken glass-like things.
The gray sunlight emits sparkling cold flashes.
Tychus, who was beside Augustus, commented bitterly: "Another oozing sore."
"Damn it, why did Al become like this?"
The White Star gradually descended below ten thousand feet, leaving only a few sparse red clouds, a desolate and empty scene.
Not even a small mound is to be found, only huge craters left by artillery bombardments, some of which are now filled with poisonous rainwater and have turned into huge dead lakes.
The undulating landscape has been completely obliterated. Except for a few spiers of void fragments standing on the edge of the horizon, there is no longer any building that can be called magnificent.
No one would have imagined that there used to be quiet green areas here, with a sky as blue as a mirror and as clean as a mirror.
Zerg, humans and protoss fought many battles around Aiur, and some places had several layers of skin scraped off, making them completely unrecognizable. Too many glorious cities and precious heritages had been destroyed.
Maybe even the protoss themselves can't count the losses.
Aiur is of great significance to the protoss as a race. The sacred Kara has been corrupted, and the only thing left that can unite and inspire the Duram protoss is the eternal mother planet.
Now, Amon, the God of Darkness, intends to be reborn on Aiur. Once he succeeds, Aiur and even the universe will be doomed. At that time, everything in the universe will receive the "ascension" that Eamon promised to Tal'darin.
The current high-ranking lord Alarak said bluntly that Amon made a little joke on Tal'darin, because in his opinion, ascension means death.
El will cease to exist, and the last protoss will die.
Augustus stared silently at the ground below. This miserable scene reminded him of Kohal after being bombed by a nuclear bomb.
On the land riddled with holes, a combat force of Omega Squadron was fighting the El bug swarm. There were only two companies and a few hundred men. They dug trenches on two highlands and built bunkers and sentry turrets.
and anti-aircraft missile towers, and set up siege tanks.
The two positions supported and protected each other, and the many fluttering imperial flags were bright red in the sun.
What attacked the position was a small group of zerg. A large number of springtails and banelings charged forward, setting off billowing smoke. There were probably several thousand in number, but no hybrids were seen among them.
Before the arrival of the Imperial fleet, the two companies were already locked in a bitter battle. The front of the position was piled with Zerg corpses, and nearby there were several wreckage of Banshee bombers that were emitting large plumes of black smoke. This was the air support they had previously called.
force.
When the White Star's ground-attack battery roared and opened fire, it really seemed to evoke the sound of thunder that resounded through the sky for no reason, and the huge explosion was deafening. In space battles, battles mostly occur silently.
Yes, no matter how huge and majestic a battleship is, it is silent when it is destroyed, with no mourning or screaming.
The swarm of insects on the ground suddenly burst into flames, making a crunching sound like dry firewood. A huge tunnel worm roared toward the sky, and was shot away by a thunderous Yamato cannon in the blink of an eye.
Huge cheers suddenly came from the communication channel of the Imperial ground forces. Someone recognized the Imperial flagship White Star and shouted that the Emperor was with them.
Augustus stood in front of the porthole, listening to the loud sound of the roaring artillery fire. He could feel that this huge imperial warship was roaring loudly. In comparison, the sound of the entire imperial fleet's firing seemed vast and passionate.
symphony, everything is burning in the huge shadow they cast on the ground.
He withdrew his gaze from the blazing ground and stood on the White Star looking down at the distance.
The sky was filled with the dazzling flash left by high-energy plasma weapons, and a few sparse clouds that seemed to have been crushed were dotted next to the cold sun.
The ground is gray, shrouded in a large mist that rises after the ocean evaporates. Three void fragment towers separate the sky, with a dazzling red light shining on the top. Various shadows guard these towers.
, including zerg, protoss and terrifying void creatures.
Just like the void fragments that appeared in Sagulath and Korhal, they are also composed of countless celestial debris scattered in the void, and they are filled with void energy full of Amon's hatred and anger.
These void fragments are just like tentacles reaching into the real world from the void, some kind of bridge connecting the two worlds. Because of this, they can continuously provide void energy for Emon's evil god host, and supply the entire branch.
The army of the void.
When Augustus cast his gaze there, a void fragment had been smashed into powder by the terrifying beam weapon of the Durham mothership Purification and collapsed. But at the same time, two more void fragments emerged from the vast sky.
Appearing in the mist, rising slowly.
"These void fragments seem to grow out of the ground. If you kill one of them, more will appear immediately." When Tychus complained, he actually said what Augustus wanted to say.
if.
"It's really endless."
"It's not that bad." Augustus blinked. Even though he was far away, the dazzling flash released when the Protoss Carrier's main gun fired still stung his eyes.
Not to mention the protoss motherships in other areas, there are more than a dozen in the high-altitude orbit of Aiur. Although ordering the fleet to open fire on Aiur has put Artanis under tremendous pressure from the conservative faction in the Council of Light and Shadow
, but the death fleet of the Tal'darin High Lord didn't care at all.
As long as he fulfills his revenge on Amon, Alarak doesn't mind sending Slaine to heaven.
"If Eamon wants to re-summon these void fragments, he will have to consume a lot of the precious energy he has accumulated in the real universe for countless years. Although the newly summoned void fragments will also feed Eamon more energy, but if he wants to gain
It's more than consumption, and it also takes time." Augustus said to Tychus:
"This way, things will be much simpler. Whether they are existing void fragments or new ones, we will destroy them all. Soon, Eamon will no longer be able to summon more void fragments to protect his incarnation of the evil god."
"At that time, there is no better way to order the fleet to launch bombing from orbit."
"Yes, it sounds very simple." Tychus complained:
"That's wonderful."
The void fragments can absorb life force from the surroundings and pour it into Amon's body. As long as the evil god's body continues to devour void energy, no weapon can harm it.
In other words, until all the void fragments on Aiur are destroyed, the evil god's body is invincible.
Compared with the original timeline, it is more difficult to destroy the evil god's host now. At this time, most of Al has been pulled into the void, and the planet may be swallowed by Eamon at any time, and at the same time, it is constantly
There are new void fragments emerging from the rift between El and the void, which is basically hell difficulty.
If Augustus still had enough time, he could adopt a steady and steady strategy to reduce casualties and increase the chance of victory. But now that the Overlord Swarm has arrived in Ayr, and the Golden Fleet is also on the way, there is no room for any delay on his part.
"Jim, order the fleet to turn on the thrusters and move forward at full speed." Augustus gave the order through the command channel.
"We are not far from the evil god's body."
"As ordered." Reynold's image appeared on the screen on one side. His messy brown hair and beard, even though he had carefully taken care of them, made him look much older. This battle was very difficult. After breaking into the orbit of El Earth and the Moon,
They had already lost many battleships in the battle to enter the atmosphere. Compared with the casualties on the ground, the fleet's personnel losses were completely insignificant.
At this moment, Renault was on board another imperial battleship, the Marshal Backwater. Augustus ordered him to command all three imperial fleets currently integrated together, which also included dozens of battleships from the Umoyan Protectorate Army.
The Umoyans have always been considered to be only lip service. Their political and economic skills may be better than those of other humans in the Koprulu sector, but their military power is mute.
The United States has always kept a low profile, but before the fleet dispatched by the Umoyan Protectorate arrived in Aiur and entered the battle, most of the Imperial captains suspected that these Umoyan people would flee as soon as they set foot on the battlefield. They had to.
Said, the Umoyan people have proven their bravery.
Under Augustus's order, the White Star increased its altitude and accelerated away from the area. The surrounding battleships followed the flagship. The Gorgon's huge size would appear too bulky in a battle in the atmosphere.
It's not designed for high-speed maneuvers, but this distance is far from that far for her.
As the White Star gets closer and closer to the location of the evil god's body, the electronic equipment on the ship becomes increasingly unstable. Powerful void energy continues to bombard the battleship's hull covered with scorched black spots, leaving Augustus and other crew members
They all felt as if they were sailing on huge waves.
This is where the Overlord's body is located, and there is also a huge Eye of the Void - just like the Otarian Rift, but much smaller.
Amidst the churning scarlet energy tide and blue thunder, an unprecedentedly spectacular Xel'Naga temple suddenly appeared in front of Augustus. In fact, it was only then that Augustus discovered that it was more powerful than he had ever seen before.
All the temples I have visited are much larger, and there are many void fragments standing around like bamboo shoots.
In other words, Eamon built a temple directly on the Lord's corpse.
No matter how difficult the situation is, the Terran Empire has always maintained a large-scale reconnaissance force and several research stations in Aiur, but they have always known nothing about it. Then, it must be this Eye of the Void that has covered up this situation.
Everything, because any human detection equipment can neither send out any information nor escape intact after entering it.
Now, this place is also the most heavily guarded area on Aiur, surrounded by void creatures controlled by corrupted zerg and protoss armies, as well as the sands of the Ganges.
The incarnation used for Amon's resurrection, the Evil God's body, is the most massive and powerful hybrid in history, and can be clearly seen even from 10,000 feet in the air.
It was forged from the Overlord's corpse and the flesh and blood of countless Protoss Templars.
Incomparably evil and extremely terrible.
The location of the evil god's body is also the area where the fighting is most intense.
Before the landing battle began, Lieutenant General Mira Han had already bombarded the area with an "abandoned" mobile space station and enough artillery shells to cover the entire strike area, and then her Marauder Legion launched an assault from orbit.
Confront the evil god's body.
For Mira, there is nothing in this world that can truly scare her. The Xel'Naga corpses in Urna have proven that even gods will die.
When Augustus arrived here, the temple was surrounded by the remains of zerg, humans, and protoss.
It was truly a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
This place had previously been violently bombarded by the Purifier Storm Battleship's enhanced decay cannon, and large swathes of zerg buildings collapsed in the dark blue thunderclouds set off by decay particles.
A Duram Protoss army with the fury of war was being teleported to a dry underground fjord at this time, including two legions of Templar Zealots and the Centurions of Nerazim.
As well as a large number of Dragon Knight Immortal mechas.
Although the firepower of the human and protoss fleets had already cleaned many aspects of the ground, hundreds of zerg still broke out from under the scorched earth and rushed towards the waiting protoss troops.
On the White Star's tactical display screen, the green, blue, and red colors representing our own, allies, and enemy forces are intertwined and blended together like ink floating on water, making it almost impossible to distinguish one from the other.
"I hope my Odin is ready." Tychus said slowly: "It's time to ride the pony."
Suddenly, all the White Star's bridge lights went out, all the bridge officers stood up in shock, and the Royal Guard rushed to protect the emperor.
A shadow with flashing scarlet eyes enveloped the entire bridge, and words full of mockery and sarcasm came from it.
They were too close to both Eamon and the Void.
"Humans, you are seeking your own death!" Eamon said.
"You're still here." Augustus clasped his hands behind his back and showed an expression of "I've finally waited for you", as if he knew that Eamon would appear.
According to the battle, the person Amon is looking for should be Artanis, but since they have all become the Legacy of Tyranids, this person should be replaced by him, Augustus.
got used to.
"But you're the one who deserves to die," he said.
"You are the one who deserves to die."
Want to intimidate me? Tell me to be submissive?
Are you scared if I hit you on the head?
"Is this bastard Eamon?" Tychus thought to himself, since you knew this guy was coming, why didn't you tell me earlier, but on the surface, he still looked like he had known this before:
"Eamonn, if I were you, I wouldn't show up naked to anyone."
"?" Eamon didn't know how to answer the question. ()
