The broad holographic display on the bridge dimmed for a moment, and then was once again illuminated by vector line drawings of various colors, special symbols and long strings of numbers. ◆?????????

Matt Horner, Artanis and Alarak have all left the communication channel, replaced by a tactical map of the cosmic space battlefield. Centered on Aiur's ecliptic plane, all the way to the edge of the Oort Cloud, the entire galaxy
included in it.
When Augustus looked at it, the star map was filled with large clusters of colorful light spots, like the paints on a palette all mixed together. The colors of protoss, humans, zerg and void creatures
The fleets attack each other, and every area where a large-scale war is breaking out is marked by a dazzling red light, making it a mess, complex, chaotic, and changeable.
What is temporarily reassuring is that at least Aiur's earth-moon orbit is still under their control. There is also half of the Imperial Combined Fleet and most of the Durham fleet. They, together with the Supreme Council Fleet and Aiu
The war between the Er swarms has reached a fever pitch.
At a height of 32 degrees above the ecliptic plane, thirty astronomical units away from Aiur, there are tens of billions of Overlord Insect Swarms, and there is an entire Purifier fleet between them and Aiur.
On this battlefield, the mechanical fleet and the biological fleet fought each other crazily in an attack method that no human or protoss fleet would use, as if they did not care about any losses to themselves or the other party.
Countless wrecks of unmanned warships and insect corpses are scattered among them, forming an unprecedented giant interstellar cemetery. The large amount of resources scattered in it are enough for scavengers to dig up without sleep and food for hundreds of years.
In contrast, on the far side of the El Galaxy, the golden fleet corrupted by Amon was eighty astronomical units away, starting with at least a thousand aircraft carriers and ten times that number of ships.
The Tal'darim Death Fleet, the other half of Matt Horner's Imperial fleet, Artanis's other flagship Ayr's Shield, and a third of the Duram fleet are leaving the battlefield to intercept the Gold Fleet.
As for Zeratul and the Ihanri protoss fleet, even Augustus had a hard time contacting them, and he couldn't command this protoss fleet anyway.
Judging from the information received during the last contact, the Ihanri Protoss seems to be planning to directly kill the Overlord, or force it to close part of the wormhole leading to Aiur. You know, even at this time, there are still quite a few
Numerous insect swarm brood worlds are sending their armies to the Aiel battlefield through the newly opened wormhole space.
Some of these brood worlds are in the Koprulu Sector, and some are in other places in the galaxy. Normally, the empire would not be able to find these worlds at all.
This master is very cautious.
Judging from the entire battlefield situation, it can be said that you have me among you, and you among me. When all the golden fleets arrive and spread out in space, they will be made into sandwich cookies.
Judging from the mechanical adjutant's algorithm, the enemy has undoubtedly gained an absolute advantage. With her not-so-high intelligence, she can only tell Augustus that the best solution now is to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible and abandon the Aiel battlefield.
No matter what, Augustus must kill Amon's evil god body before his own fleet is defeated and the Overlord Swarm or the Golden Fleet occupy the high-altitude orbit of Ayr.
On the other hand, if Amon's consciousness really successfully awakens in the evil god's body during this period, the dark god will go on a killing spree through the new body, and no one can stop it.
"I'm Jim, the landing area has been cleared, and I have begun deploying the orbital airborne troops." Reno's image appeared on the screen: "Hold on a little longer, reinforcements are on the way."
"The Zealot Legion is being deployed." Archon Phoenix shouted over the communication channel: "This is for Ayr!"
"En Taro Adun! En Taro Tassadar!"
"I am Jinara. Under the orders of the high-ranking lord Alarak, I have sent a group of the most powerful warriors under my command to support you." Jinara:
"Don't let them die worthless."
Augustus looked out of the White Star's port window and saw thousands of bright specks falling from the sky, including drop pods full of Imperial soldiers and much larger objects. The Empire was falling from the sky for free.
Orbital airdrop supply depots and bunkers don't care how long these buildings can exist on the ground.
Dallam and Tal'darin Protoss are also jumping troops and buildings to the ground. The jump site is shrouded in a large swath of white and red light. This method of deploying reinforcements is terrifyingly efficient.
Following this, there were many various fighter planes and flying vehicles descending from the atmosphere. Of course, the El Insect Swarm and the Supreme Council Fleet also appeared following them.
Even standing on the bridge, Augustus could feel the ground shaking violently. This vibration came directly from Al's increasingly frequent ground activities.
Affected by void corruption and energy impact, the stability of this area is even worse than Char's Bone Trench.
"I'll leave this to you." Augustus found Theodore, the captain of the White Star, and walked out of the bridge door carrying an AGR-17 rifle.
Several Royal Guard ghost agents appeared behind Augustus. Dark Templar warriors holding light blades walked on both sides of the emperor, and more Guard soldiers followed.
Augustus had about a hundred Dark Templar guards. They accepted the honor given to them by the empire and lived in Augustgrad for a long time. These Dark Templars even had their own royal guards.
Guard uniform, a gold-red robe modeled after the uniforms of Korhal Council members.
Although ten years is not a long number for these Dark Templars, they are already closely linked to the fate of Augustus and the Tyranids.
Some Dark Templars still believe that Augustus is the legendary savior, the man of destiny, and the son of prophecy who saved the protoss.
And that's exactly what happened.
At this moment, all the cabins of the White Star seemed to be in chaos, and there were even corpses left in them that could not be cleaned in the future. Shrapnel of various calibers was embedded in the bulkheads. The scenes in some cabins were even more horrific, with various body parts.
, fragments of organs and weapons were scattered everywhere like a jar of jam that had been slapped on the plate.
When the White Star was still in space, these corpses were floating in the air in confusion. Once the battleship entered the near-Earth space, they flew around again under the influence of various forces.
At the most critical moment, the invading enemy was only one deck away from the bridge. Imperial engineers were still working overtime to repair the damaged cabins and decks, with the sound of knocking and laser welding machines going up and down.
Augustus did not delay for too long and went straight to the central laboratory of the White Star, where the Xel'Naga artifact was stored.
When Augustus arrived at the door of the laboratory, he heard a familiar sharp voice shouting: "We are going to die! We are going to die!"
"I'm going to die!"
There had obviously been fighting there until just now, but now the gunshots and roars had subsided. A researcher was disemboweled by some extremely sharp object and lay at Augustus' feet.
A medical soldier who walked in silently made a gesture of prayer to God on his chest, then stuffed the researcher's internal organs back in, and used a laser staple gun to suture the horrific wounds. In the process,
No one can see her expression under the mask.
Augustus's eyes moved slowly like the hour hand on a clock. The laboratory was full of corpse fragments with horrific looks, as if the enemy was not killing for the sake of killing, but was simply committing a one-sided killing.
As for the enemy's corpses, there are only some remains composed of void energy or other things, and they are slowly dissipating. Those who invaded the White Star should be a mixture composed of void energy. This kind of monster is extremely cruel and powerful.
.
Finally, Augustus looked at the location where the Xel'Naga artifact was stored, and saw that it was still intact, and the expression on his face softened slightly.
The White Star's laboratory was more than ten times larger than Hyperion's, and it was guarded by a company of Royal Guards, otherwise it would have been lost long ago.
Augustus thought that maybe Eamon also wanted to get back this Xel'Naga artifact, but he definitely didn't know what he was going to use it for. After all, the God of Darkness definitely didn't believe that humans would know better than him.
Artifact.
If he had known what Augustus wanted to do, he might not have sent just these people to seize the artifact.
"Tell him to calm down!" Augustus shouted to the empire's new chief scientist, Egon Steitmann, who was hiding behind two marines.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he heard Augustus's voice, the frightened Stetmann immediately came to his senses and limped over immediately.
"Your Majesty, I can't believe you're here." Stetman organized his words. He was very happy that he hadn't been so scared that he wet his pants just now.
"I'm a doctor." He said, "I'm not good at fighting."
"Can you still work?" Augustus said, looking at Steitmann.
"Of course." Stetman said without hesitation.
"Very good." Augustus nodded: "Otherwise I will have to send someone to replace you."
"You must ensure that the artifact can function properly. Once I need it, it must be used immediately."
"This is not a problem." Stetman turned around and walked towards the artifact: "But I'm not sure whether it can really work. So far, what we know about the artifact is no more than a hair on a cow."
"I hope the artifact will really be as useful as Karax said." He said to himself, suddenly excited as if no one else was around:
"Who would have thought that I don't know if I understand it correctly. The artifact can absorb all kinds of energy. For Xel'Naga, genes, energy, information and consciousness are all integrated."
"In this way, it is possible to separate Eamon's consciousness from Kara."
"After those void fragments are eliminated and the evil god's host is destroyed, Amon will only have Kara to host. We can temporarily seal it in the artifact, so that the controlled star spirits can take the opportunity to cut off the nerve bundles."
He finally said: "In that case, the Xel'Naga artifact can become a Rubik's cube that controls the universe in the palm of your hand. This is a god-like technology. Unfortunately, we don't understand it at all. Now we just use it like a primitive man."
Ion walls to crack walnuts, molecular blades to peel potatoes.”
"It's hard to imagine that Xel'Naga only uses it as a guiding stone. It must have other uses, but it is definitely not used to destroy the world."
"I can't care about that much." Augustus didn't care: "I just want it to be put to use now."
"Yes." Stetman scratched his head: "But this way, we won't be able to use the artifact's Nova Impact for the time being."
"By the way." He started talking about irrelevant nonsense again: "My research has made new progress. The Xel'Naga artifact can also switch to another mode and be used to deal with humans! It can make all carbon
Human beings all have splitting headaches!"
"I found many traces of modifications on the artifact. It is very likely that the doctor created by Dr. Narud must have wanted to use it to deal with the rebellious Moebius people. Ah, he is really a great man."
"At least there are no humans here except ourselves." Augustus said patiently.
You are really a fucking talent.
But in fact, Stetman had no idea of the true value of this model. If Arcturus knew about it, he would definitely regard it as a treasure.
Such a powerful weapon can actually be used against one's own people. That is simply the best thing. No one can challenge the imperial power of the Mengsk family.
Arcturus must know that weapons can never make a regime last forever, but people's hearts are. But people's hearts are always changeable, but weapons cannot.
"The artifact is entrusted to you." Augustus finally said to Stetmann: "You have to defend it with your life."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Stetman said immediately.
Although Stetman seems very unreliable many times, if he really dares to commit to such a big thing, then there will be no problem.
Just when Augustus was about to leave, Stetman reminded him with a scream: "Your Majesty, I need a sample of the evil god's body for research."
"Yes," Augustus said, "if there is any left after the bombing is over."
Afterwards, Augustus ordered people to strengthen the guards in the laboratory again, then went to the landing deck and boarded an armored vehicle bound for the ground.
At several landing sites outside the White Star, heavily armed Imperial Marines have stepped out of the airdrop pods and are transporting equipment and ammunition to help the SCVs of the Imperial Engineering Corps build fortifications in preparation for resisting the army of void creatures that are attacking here.
In addition to the imperial army, there are other human armed forces here.
The classic blue helmet and white armor of the Umo Yang Protectorate Marines are very eye-catching. The stacked triangular badges on the armor are shining with blue and orange. In any case, they look very good.
In comparison, the Camorians' armor looks like it was just dug out of a mine. But compared to the Umoyan Protectorate, the Camorians have already fought against worms and void armies.
Yes, the combat capability is beyond doubt.
Battleships as brilliant and grand as a city hovered in the sky, and an Archangel Viking named Balius guarded the main road leading to the command center, firing like a furious god. ()
