Harlans, the high-ranking executive of the Protoss, was so angry after receiving the news that his fleet was defeated by an unknown civilization that he almost threw the fleet commander into the psychic furnace of the arsenal.
Although the protoss sent only a small fleet with an exploration mission this time, and even if they were defeated, there were no casualties, Harlans still felt extremely unhappy.
He felt that ever since his colonial fleet arrived in this universe, they had been in bad luck.
First, a large number of companions were ambushed by the Xel'Naga and all died, and then they had a tragic encounter with the Xel'Naga fleet in a certain star area. Even if the former enemy swarm hadn't suddenly appeared on the battlefield in the end,
Come to help, they are probably all turned into space junk now...
Finally, we signed a mutual support agreement with the insect swarm, and obtained a fairly good resting place to restore a little vitality to the fleet. However, the claws that had just been extended to explore were chopped into pieces by an unknown civilization.
Come back!
How can you make him feel so embarrassed?
I am a noble star spirit, the eldest son of God!
After arriving in this universe, why haven’t you won a single battle yet?
Harlans expressed dissatisfaction. No matter what, it couldn't swallow this bad breath.
Xel'Naga's labor force can't be dealt with for the time being. You, a small foreign civilization, still want to crawl on the head of the great eldest son of God to shit and urinate and dominate?!
Harlans was blown away, completely blown away. Without saying a word, he sent out all the warships in his hands to once again form a huge protoss fleet of unprecedented scale.
And this time, he even handed over the affairs of the colony to his adjutant, the Dark Templar Duren, to temporarily take charge of it, while he personally went into battle, vowing to command the fleet to regain glory from those damn aquatic creatures.
shame!
However, the result of this revenge war... is almost a replica of the previous war...
When the huge protoss main fleet commanded by Harens approached the "Sapphire" planet, the murloc natives on the planet immediately stepped forward to attack it.
And just once, there were not only hundreds of giant colorful reef mountains floating out from the seabed, but also tens of thousands!
The Protoss main fleet was almost enveloped by the overwhelming "sea bats" (small manta ray-like aquatic creatures), and the fighter force simply had no way to rush out from the group of these microscopic creatures...
Although Harlans tried his best to command the fleet to fight, the opponent's numbers were too huge, so it was still impossible to avoid a retreat in the end.
The Protoss' main fleet lost hundreds of ships in this battle, including forty storm warships and more than twenty aircraft carriers...
It can be said to be a heavy loss.
And this time, Protoss personnel also began to suffer battle losses.
Some protoss failed to teleport out of the ship in time and died tragically at the hands of the murlocs who invaded the ship.
What's even more frightening is that when Harens and his fleet had to evacuate in embarrassment, they saw a situation through the detector that made them feel numb.
Several captured aircraft carriers and void glow ships actually started moving again after being occupied by those murlocs!
Although these protoss warships fly crookedly, and the psychic arrays on the hulls are not charged in a standardized manner, and the weapon systems are in a paralyzed state, there is no doubt that those murlocs have actually learned how to use protoss warships.
Basic driving skills!
Moreover, the phase technicians around Harens also noticed that among the captured ships, only the Void Glow, aircraft carriers and some small fighters could be activated by the Murlocs, while the Storm Battleship that appeared on the battlefield for the first time could not.
Any movement.
But those giant reef mountains specifically used water bubbles to drag several Storm Battleships back to their planets, seemingly trying to figure out how to drive Storm Battleships...
This new discovery scared Harlans. He didn't want to see the Protoss fleet having to face his own ships in battle in the future!
At the same time, after the battle just now, the phase technicians of the protoss also roughly analyzed the fighting methods of the murlocs on Sapphire Star. They found that the technology and ship characteristics of these murlocs seemed to be very restrained by the protoss.
A civilization that specializes in the use of energy weapons and defense.
The seawater encircled by the giant reef mountains seems to have undergone some kind of special treatment. Whether it is the high-energy particle balls launched by the Storm Battleship's kinetic overload cannon or the fully charged prism beams of the Void Glow Ship, they will all hit these seawater shields.
The multi-layered mirror defense system within it disintegrates refraction and disperses energy.
Including the neutron light cannon of the pirate ship, the ion cannon of the Phoenix fighter, and the plasma rapid-fire cannon of the aircraft carrier drone, they are unable to penetrate this kind of seawater defense system mixed with a multi-layer folding mirror system.
On the contrary, the anti-air anti-matter missiles of the reconnaissance aircraft are very effective against these giant reef mountains...
There are also those murlocs, they also showed very obvious anti-energy properties in their battles with the Protoss Templars and war machines.
In a waterless combat environment, their surface will be covered with a seawater shield. This shield also has powerful energy protection and refraction functions.
And in addition, these murloc weapons can also tear through energy shields very easily, and can even cause the psychic blades of the fanatics who fight them to malfunction.
Most importantly, they also have a large number of "sea bats" to act as vanguards and battlefield supplements.
These terrifying aquatic monsters are very weak individually, but the problem is that they almost never appear alone.
And although these guys are small, they can glide freely in the void of the universe without any hindrance, which means that they can not only easily escape the protection of the planet's atmosphere, but also have no fear of the harsh environment of the cold vacuum in the universe.
The protoss' ground warfare equipment troops also performed unsatisfactory when facing these sea bats. The powerful dragon knights and immortals were completely helpless against these flexible, petite and huge numbers of opponents. Even the Colossus
They can only be lost in the endless numbers of sea bats.
The more powerful Archons can easily kill these small war monsters whose defenses are relatively fragile one by one, but each Archon is a short-lived spark that can only be exchanged for the sacrifice of two high-level Templars.
Their manpower is already insufficient, and such sacrifices are simply impossible to replicate on a large scale!
The murloc aborigines on this sapphire planet, their technology is like the nemesis of the protoss, suppressing almost all aspects of protoss technology.
Fortunately, the phase technicians discovered that although the murlocs were able to build strange warships that were like flying rocks and mountains, they seemed unable to leave their own planet too far.
The seawater around those reef battleships is constantly being consumed, which forces them to return for resupply before they can fly very far.
Moreover, those fishmen also have a weakness, that is, they cannot survive for long in a waterless environment...
