Whether it is really a good time or not, time will come and turn!
Malain, the star of disaster and the fourth ascendant under Alarak, the current high lord of Tal'darin, has become convinced that this planet named Baishir is a real treasure land for him.
As long as Malan plunders all the vast reserves of terazine resources in Baishel, no, even obtaining a small part of them will be enough to help him take a further step in the Holy Chain.
He even climbed to the top of Slane, trampled under his feet Jinara, the first person to be promoted, and ruled the world.
Hum hum.
Malan didn't show any complacency on his face. He was walking slowly along a narrow path opened by human colonists. On both sides, there were balsam phlox as tall as a person and a patch of emerald green.
The Sea of Cao is rolling and undulating in powerful hurricanes.
The leaf stalks of the vegetation here are slender and straight, as hard as iron, and the edges of the fine leaves are sharp enough to easily cut through thick clothes. The morning sun is so cold that it looks like no one should approach it, and the wind is like thunder.
It was like the sound of drums and horns, and the clanging sound of swords, spears, swords and halberds.
The Steppes of War is a lush and fertile land. There are still a large number of lost protoss ruins standing on this vibrant prairie, some of which have been dilapidated due to disrepair, and countless collapsed
Walls and fallen stone pillars lie unnoticed among the lush vegetation. Only the Kedarin crystals inscribed with beautiful poems and prayers are still shining brightly, as if the years are still there and time is still there.
At this moment, the rising sun seemed to jump above the clouds. Suddenly the whole world was on fire, and the fluffy clouds reflected golden light up and down.
However, this beautiful scenery cannot resonate with the ascended Malan at all. The Tal'darin have always been an extremely pragmatic race, and their perception of beauty is clearly cruel and gloomy in the eyes of other races.
Byshel is very similar to the former Slane, but the last jungle of Slane disappeared at least a few centuries ago.
Slane is harsh and dead now, but no Tal'darin would regret it.
In the millions of years since the ancestors of the Tal'darin protoss followed Aemon's footsteps and left Aiur, they conquered planet after planet in order to collect terrazine. Most of these worlds have now been destroyed due to depletion of resources or other reasons.
being abandoned.
Tal'darin is equally ruthless towards the land on which he lives.
For power, there is nothing Tal'darin cannot abandon, not even Slaine.
On this planet called Beisher, the only thing Malan cared about was the shrine of Diazine with its purple smoke curling up. To be more precise, only the Dizine inside it was what he cared about the most.
Terrazine is the breath of God, which can penetrate the mind and has great power. There is no Tal'darin who is not fascinated by it, and there is no Tal'darin who is not crazy about it.
"My lord, the terrazine reserves here can fully supply Slane for hundreds of years. This is enough to gain the support of those Fleet Lords (Fleet Lords) for you in the Rak'sir Ceremony."
A Tal'darin Death Apostle, among the many groveling servants of Malan, was leading the way in front of him. This poor, ragged man was so humble that he did not dare to raise his head and look directly at his master when he spoke.
In the world of Tal'darin Protoss, it is the essence of Terrazine and Death Apostles that supports the strongest in Tal'darin, making them extremely powerful. And from the perspective of the ascendants at the top of the chain of ascension, the Death Apostles are also the same as those at the top of the chain of ascension.
Fresh back-up food is no different from supplements to replenish psychic energy, because their duty in the Holy Chain is to dedicate themselves to the higher-level Tal'darin.
All of this will not be reversed until these Dead Apostles gain enough power and influence to challenge their superiors.
On this point, Eamonn is fair.
"hehe"
Malan sneered: "I hope you are right this time."
At the end of this path paved with slag gravel, all the tall vegetation has long been cut off by the blood blades of Tal'darin fanatics and the particle beams of the probes, exuding the pungent smell of grass juice volatilizing in the air.
odor.
What comes into view is a former Tyran Empire colony gathering place that has obviously been abandoned for a long time, a small mining station established for the mining of crystalline minerals and terrazine resources, and its associated living facilities.
Almost all buildings are made of prefabricated panels, modular components and waterproof canvas. The smelting facilities, separation towers, cranes and large terrazine storage tanks are arranged in an axis shape and are separated by train tracks, plank roads and huge pipelines.
The facilities in the living area are also complete, including a bar and a small holographic theater. It seems that the colonists here have been living here for a long time.
And these had been burned to the ground not long ago, leaving only some burned-black building skeletons, like the skeletons of a group of giant beasts swallowed by fire. These ruins were washed over and over again by rain, and the parts exposed to the air
It rusted away at an alarming rate, with far more bloodstained parts than intact ones.
The ground is littered with the remains of collecting robots - clumsy automated robots used by colonists to collect and transport terrazine.
Only a few glass-domed colonial ecological huts still stand there, but all the windows have turned into dark holes, and clothes that have not been put away are still hanging in some of the rooms, which looks like
Like a wandering ghost.
To the north of this mining station are part of the ruins of Arakan Citadel, which was once the most magnificent, grandest and most glorious building on Baishel. Even if you look at the entire Koprulu sector, it is probably the most magnificent building in the world.
Still the same.
Right here, Malan could still vaguely see the "rough shacks" built by the Tyranid human colonists based on the ruins of the protoss. To Malan, such behavior was like snakes, insects, rats and ants in the glory of giants.
Build a nest on top of the palace.
It was a much larger human city, most likely using its old name as Arakan City. According to the Tyranid Empire's style, a colonial city of this size must have an airport and be stationed with Imperial Marines.
But now, the city has ended up in the same situation, and has been burned by terrible fire more than once, leaving only the empty shells of skyscrapers and the blackened remains of spiers.
Even if it seems to Malan that there is no need to explain clearly, including this city, these damages are indeed not caused by them.
According to the images returned by the detector, Beisher has not been hit by high-altitude orbits, and most of the damage in the city was caused by human weapons.
In other words, they destroyed themselves by killing each other.
Since their "god and benefactor" - the god of darkness, Amon, has returned again, the Serdipine jungle has become a hundred times more dangerous, with murderous intent everywhere.
Just like Slaine, Byshel contains the terrifying will of Terrazine Radiation Amon, which contains powerful void energy. When the Terrazine fog rises and gathers, the rift between reality and the void will emerge.
Eamon's minions and slaves - the Shadow of the Void came to reality through these entrances to the void, and invaded the entire world with the spreading fog.
In addition, long-term exposure to terazine gas can also cause irreversible damage to the fragile nervous systems of these humans, causing hallucinations, random thoughts, mental disorders and even more terrible consequences - especially the resurgence of Eamon's will.
, the moment when terrazine emerges from the Beisher crust in multiples.
In this case, it is common for someone to hear the mad ravings of the God of Darkness due to taking too much terrazine, and even fall into madness and turn to believe in Amon.
However, Baisher's situation is a bit special. Those fanatical believers may believe in another existence, namely Baisher herself. In order to protect Baisher, they will fight to the death against any enemy who attempts to harm "her".
On the other hand, due to the effect of terrazine on increasing psychic potential, the Byshere people generally have higher psychic powers.
Emperor Augustus Mengsk's Tyranid Empire has at least one ghost military academy in Byshel, which has both the craziest lunatics in the empire and the best ghost agents.
The war that took place in Bysher was the war between those who were still loyal to the Tyranid Empire and Bysher against the Shadow of the Void and the followers of Amon. Long before the arrival of Malan's Tal'darin army, Bysher
It has experienced many wars, and there is evidence that the war is still not over.
This continuous war and the erosion of the void have made Byshir a world of death in the true sense.
Even so, even if none of this had happened, even if these human colonists were still alive and well when Malan came to Baishel, if they dared to stop him from collecting terrazine or interfere with his business
Then Malan will still kill them all without hesitation, and will only wait until the end to burn Baishir to ashes, so that the Tyranid people will not be able to provide any evidence even if they know that Tal'darin did it.
On this occasion, the true form of the archenemy Amon is still waiting in the void to make a comeback. The Tyranid Empire will definitely not start a direct war with Tal'darin over a sparsely populated border planet and push such a powerful ally to the enemy.
On one side.
They dare not.
"How much longer?"
When Malan came to this mining station, a rough and solid Tal'darin Protoss Hub that looked like black blades pierced up and down just jumped, followed by a large number of crystal towers, photon turrets, shield chargers and teleporters.
Gate. Two long and narrow star gates located above the Protoss Hub are leaping over the Tal'darin ship several light years away. The outline of the semi-material warship is still shocking even when viewed from the ground thousands of meters away.
.
"How long will it take to complete the collection of terazine here?" He tried not to show his urgency: "If I had a spiked whip on hand, you would immediately regret your laziness!"
There are rumors that a warrior champion who is still loyal to Aemon is preparing to challenge the first ascendant Jinara, thereby threatening the position of high lord and regaining control of Tal'darin for the Dark God.
This is a conspiracy, and it is not a secret in Tal'darin. Amon, the God of Darkness, never bothers to hide his true intentions from ignorant mortals.
Malan believed that she knew enough about Jinara's city and strength, and knew that it would not be easy to bring her down. However, with the blessing of Eamon's divine power, the warrior loyal to him would not be without the strength to fight.
However, in order to win over people's hearts and hold on to power, even if the high-ranking lord Alarak showed indifference to the matter, he would never sit back and watch Jinara's failure. At the same time, this was also a way for Alarak to eliminate dissidents and further control
Great opportunity for Tal'darin.
Considering that there are still a large number of believers of the Dark God in Tal'darin today, the number of people participating in the Rak'shir ceremony will definitely be quite large. No matter who wins or loses, a large number of high-level Tal'darin's casualties will definitely be
Bringing great turmoil to the top powers.
Malan actually doesn't care whether Eamon wins or Alarak succeeds in his revenge. All he cares about is his own power.
If he is lucky enough, when Malan returns to Slane, both Jinara and Emon Warriors may have been injured or even killed. By then, with the capital he brought back from Baishel, he will surely be able to
Gather people's hearts and reach the sky in one step.
It's just that Byshel is too far away from Slane, and the fact that it is far away from the political center of Tal'darin at such a critical time makes Malan deeply uneasy.
But if Malan is right this time,
"I think it won't take long, my lord." The person who replied was a phase technician wearing a black and red robe. He was once a member of the Firstborn Son of God, but now he is forced to serve Malan, the fourth ascendant.
.
"I think ten or twelve El sunshine cycles are enough, it depends," the phase technician said tremblingly, but still did not dare to give an exact time.
Like many Tal'darim, Malan the Ascended was a cruel and moody creature, making even the most unpredictable templar easy to get along with.
He pointed to the Protoss hub and said: "It depends on how many usable probes we can build during this time."
Protoss technology is so magical that the Protoss Hub can completely control the power of time and space, and can accelerate the construction of exploration aircraft and even other machinery.
Groups of Tal'darin probes were going back and forth between the many terrazine altars, carrying compression-molded terrazine gas back and forth.
It is worth mentioning that this star spirit hub was borrowed by Malan from the Daram star spirit, and he could use it for his own use with a slight modification without any technical barriers.
After all, what they like most is to use the latest and most advanced technology to create "outdated old things".
"I don't care how many resources are invested." Malan raised his eyebrows - if the muscles on his eyes can be counted as eyebrows:
"I just want terrazine!"
Malan did not punish the phase technician, and now he is much more valuable than the Dead Apostle.
Tal'darin cannot cultivate outstanding talents like Kalai engineers on its own. Their war craftsmen lack creativity and often can only develop new weapons through plagiarism.
"Fourth Ascended Malan, I detected the jump signal of a Tyranid Empire fleet." A Tal'darin Ascended who was only below Malan suddenly sent a message from a battleship.
"This fleet was huge and I tried to avoid them as much as possible, but the detectors showed that they had just sent out a powerful landing force," he said:
"I have confirmed that this human army is coming directly to you."
"What?"
Malan was surprised at first, and then felt that these humans did not take her seriously.
Even setting up an army without contact!
Since Alarak took charge of Tal'darin, the Tyranid people have paid less and less attention to Tal'darin.
In a sense, the Tyranid Empire obtained this planet from Tal'darin.
Tal'darin Executor Neon once conquered Byshir in the name of the gods and made it an indestructible holy world (shrine-world). In the Koprulu sector, those who have a large number of Xel'Naga ruins and places
It is not surprising that Zin Resources encountered the Tal'darin Protoss at the same time.
Niang's extreme fanaticism for the gods was unimaginable even among his people, but he failed in the end.
They were defeated by the Tyranids.
Malan was even ashamed to mention his name.
"We must shoot down these humans' landing craft before they attack us!" said a high-level upgrader loyal to Malan.
"No, the high-ranking lord forbids us from going to war with humans." Malan actually didn't care about Alarak's order at all, but he didn't want to rashly start a war with the Tyranids and damage his own strength.
When the "Peace Treaty" mentioned this, the upgrader even laughed out loud.
The Tyranid Empire has signed a permanent ceasefire agreement with the Dalam Protoss, and in theory the Tal'darin has signed something similar.
But that doesn't mean they have to comply.
For Tal'darin, treaties are meant to be broken.
"Tsk, this is for eternal peace and prosperity. The high-ranking lord is really kind-hearted." When mentioning Alarak's decision, Malan couldn't help but say something weird.
These words even gave Malan goosebumps.
Somehow, the high-ranking lord Alarak not only followed the Dallam Templar named Artanis, but also moved closer to them in his tortuous style of conduct.
Artanis just complimented him a few times, and the high-ranking lord forgot about it.
The Tal'darim all thought the peace treaty was a joke, but Alarak seemed to really take it seriously.
But more people believe that Alarak is just pretending. If someone says that the high-ranking lord has justice and honor in his heart, the Tal'darim will be the first to rush over and laugh at him.
"Tell those humans, before I get angry, if you don't want to die, get out of here!" After thinking for a while, Malan felt that she had to be tougher.
These subordinates are all watching, otherwise how can we lead this team in the future? ()
