Chapter 783: There are all heroes here, how come a piece of shit like you got in?
Hyperion, bridge.
After five and three modifications, demolition and reconstruction, Hyperion's bridge was redesigned and became as large as the throne room of the royal palace, decorated with gold ornaments, reliefs and panels that symbolized imperial power.
There should have been a throne here, but the emperor only wanted a holographic star chart platform that was big enough to hold up a starry sky above people's heads. However, there were only many more soldiers guarding it than in the throne room.
Through the porthole, every few steps there is a Royal Guard armed with a special warfare blast shield and a plasma rifle.
On this day, all the generals of Emperor Augustus gathered together. In addition to Alexei Stokov who was in Beisher and Admiral Faraday who was guarding Korhal, Horace Warfield, Jim
Reno, Matt Horner, Mira Han, Edmund Duke, Carolina Davis, Harnak Hanke and other senior generals were present.
Each of these prominent figures in the Tyranid Empire can wear gold and purple in the Augustgrad Palace. In addition, there are several commanders of the Kemerian Consortium and the Umoyan Protectorate Army.
Twenty or thirty people.
Everyone here is well-dressed, with all kinds of armor shining and looking extraordinary.
At the same time, Archbishop Tassadar of Durham Protoss, Supreme Protector Rohana, and high-ranking executive officers Artanis, Selendis, Moyo and other executive officers also arrived. On the flagship
Under the light, a large sea of golden blue and bright white armor complement each other, looking solemn and sacred.
Vorazun, the daughter of the Nerazim matriarch Rashagal, also led her elite Dark Templar warriors to the scene, standing together with the fellow protoss of Dallam.
Even Zeratul, who had not seen the dragon, came to Hyperion, but he was still away from the crowd at the moment, and only had a few brief conversations with Tassadar and Artanis.
Zeratul loved his homeland and people, but they once doubted and even hated him. It was not until the prophecies of doomsday were confirmed that he was avenged. How ironic, those who once believed that Zeratul was a deceiver.
Now he is respected as a great prophet.
However, there was only one thing that Zeratul could not let go of. Zeratul had always felt guilty for leaking Aiur's coordinates, and believed that he was not worthy of such respect from his people. This was a thorn in his heart.
The high-ranking lord of Tal'darin came alone, with only Jinara who came from the same ship standing next to him. Alarak has obviously completely controlled the death fleet, and has no worries that anyone will take the opportunity to betray him. His ability to play with power is not inferior at all.
The exquisite skills of killing people.
Of course, Alarak was not willing to admit it, he just didn't want others to think that he was accepting the leadership of a human emperor, even if this harsh fact was more unbearable than any of his harsh taunts.
The representative of the Ehanri Protoss Elders Council is still their representative in the Tyran Empire, Elder Esmael. The council's request is very simple. As long as they are capable Amon, they will support them. Otherwise, they will not listen.
As for the Purifier protoss, the representative they sent is Talandar, the memory copy of Phoenix. The entire Purifier Council members will share what they see and hear and listen to the meeting.
At this moment, everything that should come has basically arrived. The deck is full of human and protoss commanders and their elite guards wearing armor. Everywhere there are the sharp tips of Gauss rifles and the razor-sharp protoss swords.
and psychic spear.
They have been waiting here for a while, but they are not in a hurry. This battle is not trivial, and one careless move will lead to the whole game being lost.
"Why hasn't the Dog Emperor come yet?"
However, in a small corner far away from the crowd, next to the entrance to the bridge, a brainworm hidden in a crimson robe was poking its head.
This brainworm drank some wine to strengthen his courage today, and now he can't tell the difference between the king and the king: "I've been waiting for him for a long time."
"What does he think this is? The company's year-end summary?"
"Otherwise." There is another person standing here, General Pryor of the Terran Empire.
"What do you care about?" Pryor raised his eyebrows: "There are so many big shots here, who has an opinion?"
Of course, Pryor's words were too self-effacing. His status among the empire's generals was second only to Warfield, Reno and Horner, and he was even privately called "Admiral of Heaven's Strategy" by Emperor Augustus.
, this title is not easy to understand, let’s use an easy-to-understand term.
Mars.
Pryor has never been defeated in a battle, and he has even remained unscathed until now, which is simply a miracle. Augustus called this luck. He has almost no flaws, but sometimes he likes to say strange things.
In addition, the reason why Pryor stays here alone is because he has often gone deep into enemy territory to fight over the years and has become accustomed to being alone. Even in peacetime, he would just lie at home and lay his body to pieces. It may also be because he has no sense of existence.
, resulting in such an outstanding general being often forgotten.
"Who said I have an opinion? Don't talk nonsense, I don't dare to have an opinion." Brainworm's little eyes widened, and he said with a strange look, "You all have dirty minds when it comes to tactics."
"Oh, that's not what I meant." Pryor is quite familiar with this brainworm, and can even be called a friend.
Now this brain worm has become famous, and his subordinates control seven or eight large and small brain worms, a double-digit Leviathan swarm.
According to the words of Emperor Augustus, people should be like humans and insects should be like worms.
But among these cerebrates, the Imperial Cerebrate Unit Alpha is also unique.
Secretly, Alpha the Brain Worm has many identities, including the Sword of the Empire, the Godfather of Augustgrad East, the Immortal of the Imperial Battle Flag Forum, the insect maid of the Mengsk family, an autobiography madman, and an unknown writer of cool articles.
Alpha did write several novels based on the Tal'darin Protoss, but they were basically plagiarisms from The Count of Monte Cristo, and only spent a little leisure time after dinner, in its huge amount of mass-produced toilet paper literature.
, these are not even worth paying much attention to.
As for why these versions spread out, it is entirely because of Augustus's cultural offensive policy against the Tal'darin Protoss.
But like trade dumping policies, this doesn't work very well.
Because the Tal'darin are not keen on trading and have no shortage of resources, they often prefer to plunder. Similarly, even the most rational and coldest human works are nothing more than idle moaning in the eyes of the Tal'darin. As for humans' concerns about war and
They are too arrogant to look down on political books.
However, it was Alpha's books that eventually became popular in the Tal'darim world. Now, the Tal'darim have expelled the author, believing that he was written by a great ancient Tal'darim master.
Jinara is actually a loyal fan of Alpha. After the truth is revealed, she may have to call it Teacher.
Of course, Teacher A didn’t know about this at all, and he didn’t care about these false reputations. Writing books was just a small hobby for him to spend time.
And it has a wide range of hobbies.
This brainworm is always unique because none of its kind are as boring as it is.
"Hey, it's noisy again over there." At this time, Pryor suddenly looked to the other side and said.
Brainworm was feeling bored when he heard this and his voice suddenly rose an octave higher: "Okay!"
"let me see!"
I saw that Selendis, the senior executive of Durham, and Jinara, the first person to be promoted to Tal'darin, were already quarreling, and they were on the same level.
"Amon is an unimaginably formidable enemy, but you Templars are all eager to die."
Jinara said: "The void is an endless purgatory. If you don't want to die, just follow me. The death fleet will not be able to spare its hands to collect your corpses."
"Jinara" Selandis was already angry, and she retorted sharply: "I heard that you were defeated by Amon's warriors in the last Rak'shir ceremony. It was really embarrassing.
.”
It was impossible for Tassadar to lower himself to such a provocation, but Selendis would not coddle him Tal'darin either.
"You're talking nonsense, this is impossible!" Jinara immediately denied it.
"Not necessarily," Selendis said.
"You" Jinara was speechless for a moment.
Jinara was indeed cornered several times by the warrior champion of Aemon, forcing her to call for help from her allies many times. This is nothing to be ashamed of, even for those as powerful as Marash and Alarak.
.
But how did the Aiur protoss know about this? Unless there were spies from the Templars in Tal'darin, but this was impossible.
Either someone leaked it deliberately to weaken Jinara's reputation among other forces. This may have been done by her direct competitors in the chain of promotion.
Ever since the current Alarak broke with convention and allowed outsiders to participate in the Rak'shir ceremony, other Tal'darim have followed suit.
"It's such a shame, Jinara." Alarak admonished Jinara: "I told you before! Don't deal with the Templars, otherwise you will become as weak as them."
At this time, the people of the Empire and Ihanli were watching with cold eyes. Even Jim Raynor did not take it seriously. Tal'darin always looked down on other protoss kin, and no proud protoss would tolerate disrespect for honor.
Insult, it's news that they don't quarrel.
"What do you mean, three women in one drama." Alpha looked amused. His favorite thing was undoubtedly watching the protoss quarrel.
Alpha is extremely wary of any protoss, but as long as it can watch the excitement, it is willing to risk losing its head.
As soon as he finished speaking, Alpha ran out. And due to excessive obesity and bloat, it almost rolled out.
"What are you going to do?" Pryor stepped on the brainworm's tail.
"What else can I do? To break up the fight." Alpha emphasized: "I am knowledgeable in this area!"
"Come back!" Pryor stepped on harder.
"Don't spoil the big thing." He said: "After I kill Eamon, I have to go back for vacation. If I'm lucky, I can get my pension this year. You are trying to get in trouble with me."
"Let go!" Alpha shouted: "Let go!"
If this brainworm says that it is going to break up the fight, there is no need to doubt it. It must be going to add fuel to the fire. Its common words are "I speak to you out of conscience" and "Speak from the bottom of my heart."
, which starts with "Let me be fair" and ends with "I can't stand it anymore!" or "I can't stand it anymore!"
If they were to break up the fight, these protoss might start a fight and overturn the emperor's new flagship.
Just as Alpha and Prior were baring their teeth, the bridge door finally opened.
"You bitch, it's embarrassing!"
Before the Augustans arrived, the voice had already arrived.
The emperor wears the only set of power armor in the entire empire, and many of its components are even exclusive models. This armor has strength comparable to that of the Protoss Templar, as well as an extremely powerful personal shield force field.
.
Once, Augustus and General Warfield had a big quarrel over strategic issues, and neither side gave in. The emperor even cursed the other party that he would surely ruin his entire imperial fleet. Of course, the emperor could use his power to overwhelm others.
, but he still decided to solve the problem one-on-one according to the rules in the recruit camp.
So, when the old General Warfield, who was bare-handed and ready to teach this little brat a lesson, suddenly discovered that the Dog Emperor was actually wearing this suit of armor.
"How dare you show your teeth at me!" Augustus first gave the brainworm a big showdown, and then hugged and greeted Pryor, who he hadn't seen for a long time.
The Cerebrate was so angry that it lost its temper immediately when it saw Queen Kerrigan walking in. Although it would not fight Augustus normally, it would never admit defeat.
At this time, all the quarrels in the bridge disappeared.
"Augustus Mengsk, brother."
"The Führer."
"His Majesty."
When Augustus came among the crowd, everyone greeted him and saluted him, and even the Taldarins could only reluctantly call him His Majesty the Emperor.
"Augustus, the Purifiers have brought bad news. The fallen insect swarm and hybrid army are waiting in the void." Tassadar said and went directly to the topic: "This confirms the previous speculation of the War Council.
Meng recalled those legions that were fighting in the real universe precisely because he learned that we were about to attack the void, just as he had done to protect the evil god's body."
"He must think that we are seeking death." Augustus said: "If I were Aemon, I would pretend not to know anything and wait until the enemy goes deep into the void before setting up an ambush to surround, annihilate and strangle us."
At this time, the Empire's Xel'Naga World Ship was passing under the Hyperion. It was so huge that just one of its main guns was five times the length of the Gorgon.
It turned out that the Xel'Naga World Ship was indeed sent to Byshel to deal with Eamon's Doomsday Ark, but halfway there, he learned that Phoenix and Stukov had actually killed Eamon with the support of the Protoss Fleet.
Returned defeated.
After Augustus learned of this, he immediately ordered it to change course and come to Urna. This world ship was at least worth a fleet of several hundred cruisers.
"But this is Eamon's choice." Tassadar nodded to Augustus: "Draw up your troops and get ready for a decisive battle."
"The God of Darkness looks down on us." Artanis also said loudly: "He will definitely pay the price."
"You are right, Artanis." Augustus looked at everyone present and announced the final battle plan.
"Well, marshals, generals, and executive officers," he said, "the last moment has come. This is a last-ditch battle. Either you die or I die."
