After the crisis in Winterfort was completely resolved, post-war recovery work began within the town.
Since most of the buildings in the city were destroyed, Xue Hua and others had no choice but to squeeze into the temporary military camp outside the city with the survivors of the two legions.
Reknis took his angel army under Tyrael's order to help the coalition forces attack the Doomsday Depression. I hope the coalition commanders can tolerate this guy's bastard personality.
The two extraordinary men from the Silver Robe Society followed the idea of helping others to the end and also went with the coalition forces.
Their joining has boosted the morale of the coalition forces, and they are even ready to rush into hell and kill them all.
Tyrell, on the other hand, joined the human army to block the demon troops back to the Magic Fog Canyon and then returned directly to heaven. Before leaving, he gave Xue Hua a meaningful look, which made Xue Hua extremely stressed.
Regarding Azmodan's life and death and the terrifying existence on the other side of the portal, no one who saw that scene except Xue Hua had the slightest clue.
Xue Hua once carefully inquired with the Silver-robed Transcendent code-named "Skeleton", and it proved that no one else heard the words Xel'naga said except him.
Moreover, Isa later told him that Xel'Naga's voice was transmitted directly to his mind through the main hive mind, and no one could hear it except him.
The adjutant's words made Xue Hua break out in a cold sweat on the spot.
As we all know, the main hive mind was actually added by Eamon in order to enslave the Zerg when he transformed the first generation of Overlord.
In terms of the structure of the spiritual body, the main hive mind is very similar to the "kara" connection of the protoss, which is a method of psychic communication.
But unlike "Kara", there is an extremely clear hierarchy in the mind of the main hive. This classification is not as simple as the so-called "social class" classification among the protoss, but between "masters" and "slaves"
” classification.
Specifically, under normal circumstances, the highest status person in the main hive mind is Xue Hua, the "master". Apart from him, all Zerg units, including high-level commanders, are his "slaves".
Of course, Xue Hua doesn't like this word very much, but this is indeed the domineering aspect of the main nest mental system.
And under some extraordinary circumstances, the so-called "Zerg Overlord" is actually just Emon's creation, just like the first-generation Overlord and the insect swarm it controls are just a tool and weapon of Emon.
This situation did not change until Sister Kai took control of the swarm, especially at the end of the Battle of Wings of Liberty, when Kerrigan was completely purified by the power of the Xel'Naga artifact, and the entire swarm was completely separated from the Era.
Meng's control.
However, the problem here is that Kerrigan broke away from Eamon's control after being blasted by the Xel'Naga artifact. So what should Xue Hua do?
He doesn't have any Xel'Naga artifacts that he can use to bathe himself. Although Narud is not Eamon, is it possible that Eamon's follower also holds a trump card that can usurp Xue Hua's authority?
When he thought about the possibility of the insect swarm rebelling against Narud when the time came, cold sweat could not stop flowing from Xue Hua's forehead...
However, his speculation was quickly rejected by Isa.
Isa told him that since the Queen of Blades was upgraded to a Xel'Naga and completely liberated the swarm of insects, the swarms would no longer be controlled by the Xel'Naga. Previously, Narud directly shouted to Xue Hua through the main hive mind,
It just used its powerful mental power to forcibly invade the peripheral communication channels of the main hive mind.
This kind of thing only requires a creature with a little knowledge of the insect swarm and a stronger mental power to do it. For example, Kane did this once before.
And this kind of intrusion is only one-way, that is to say, the intruder can only send messages to Xue Hua unilaterally, and there is no way to obtain any message from the insect swarm in this way, and even whether the message it sends can
Being accepted by Xue Hua also depends on whether Xue Hua is willing to accept it.
If Xue Hua does not want to receive information, Isha is fully capable of directly abandoning this peripheral channel, and can also completely block the other party's intrusion into the main nest mind.
Therefore, the message Narud sent him was just to scare him and had no practical effect at all.
After Isa's explanation, Xue Hua finally put his hanging heart back into his stomach.
In fact, Narud's appearance was so sudden that Xue Hua immediately thought of the worst possibility.
Otherwise, there is no need for Isa to explain this kind of thing at all. He only needs to check the state of the main hive mind a little to confirm that there is no position with higher authority than him in the main hive mind.
After solving this serious problem, Xue Hua turned his attention back to the second world.
At present, the war in the entire late winter war zone has basically been declared over, and only small groups of scattered demon troops are still wandering in a few places.
These guys are no longer viable, and I believe they will soon be completely wiped out by the professionals who arrived later.
However, it is worth mentioning that less than an hour after the frontline battle in the Late Winter War Zone ended, Nelson also arrived at the Late Winter Fort with professional troops coming from the direction of Midway Town.
Looking at the huge battle fortress that was almost in ruins, this powerful legendary paladin almost shed tears.
Especially after hearing the news that Bertone was killed in battle, he couldn't control himself and ran to the top of the city.
The bodies of high-level professionals disappear quickly after they are killed in battle, and the same goes for Bertone, so Nelson only saw the last thing left by his former comrade in Elena - his merit card.
"Don't be too sad, Neeson, he died heroically..."
General Edwin patted Nelson's back to comfort him, but there was a hint of choking in his own voice.
Bertone and Elena, the two army commanders, were both promoted by General Edwin. Together with Nelson, they formed the last barrier on the front line of the late winter theater.
The relationship between the four people is deep and they are as close as brothers and sisters. Now that a relative has passed away, it is naturally difficult to control their emotions.
"If I could have done it earlier..." Nelson murmured reproachfully, but his words were quickly interrupted by Elena.
"Don't say that Nissen. We all know that you have tried your best. I believe Bertone thinks the same."
"..."
The atmosphere on top of the city was sad and desolate. Even the huge golden sun in the sky of the second world rarely hid in the black smoke floating in the city, only casting a dim yellow light on the top of the city.
Not only General Edwin and others, but also many professionals came to the top of the city, holding in their hands various souvenirs left by their former comrades, they were silent and bowed their heads in condolences.
Xue Hua and Kasha stood not far away and watched this scene, with sad looks on their faces.
Although professionals have great strength and long lifespans, very few of them can live to the end of their lives.
Xue Hua now suddenly understood a little bit about those fugitives who could not bear the killings on the front lines and hid in the rear.
If you are not mentally strong enough, you may not be able to withstand this kind of scenario a few times... (To be continued)
