In the void above the eternal battlefield, a huge fleet was quietly suspended in front of a golden cloud.
In the largest Leviathan at the front of the fleet, Stukov, a group of insect swarm commanders, and the Virginia sisters were gathered in the command room, silently waiting for the golden cloud to appear.
spread.
Dozens of days have passed since the Insect Fleet won the war with the Xel'Naga Fleet. The large fleet composed of the remaining fifteen cosmic civilizations had already left with the completely subdued Konosodas.
this battlefield.
For them, although Narud is the master of Konosodas, it has never personally destroyed their civilization. Naturally, their hatred for this nominal enemy they have never met has also increased.
It's not that profound.
And now that they have captured Konosodas, they have an explanation for their dead tribesmen, and naturally there is no need to continue waiting here.
But the Protoss in the United Fleet are different from the Insect Swarm. The former has an almost irresolvable hatred for Narud, while the latter not only has no less hatred than the former, but it is they who are fighting this enemy in this golden cloud.
of domination.
So no matter from any angle, the outcome of this battle can be said to be crucial to both tribes, so they have to wait no matter what.
In the command room, Stukov stared at the golden cloud with a serious face, while it also made the fleet ready for everything.
Although it absolutely does not want to see the worst ending, if it is Narud who finally walks out of this golden cloud, then it will definitely use all its strength to fight to the death with this fallen person!
Isa reports intelligence from all sides to it in the mind of the main hive. Although the high-ranking commanders of the swarm are worried about the Overlord, their innate calmness allows them to deal with the problems at hand while worrying.
work.
"Reports came from Zuzade and Gagon. There was a medium-sized Xel'Naga fleet that tried to raid our rear control area, but Zuzade used the Node King Insect's 'Ghost Beacon' to set up an ambush and rely on it.
Annihilated by the planetary orbital defense system.
Our rear hive did not suffer any damage."
"Yes." Stukov nodded. It had already expected that the Xel'Naga fleet would not be able to leave their rear alone, so it deliberately sent the two senior officers Zuzade and Gagon to the expedition.
The rank commander stayed behind.
Although these two high-ranking commanders are not combat command types, relying on the planetary orbital defense system and the large number of small biological ships it deliberately left behind, they should be able to defend against the Xel'Naga fleet's rearward attack.
At the very least, they should be able to hold on until the main fleet returns.
"In addition, the human friendly forces on the eternal battlefield have also been evacuated, but they hope that we can bring a message to the Lord and ask him to wait until the battle is over to visit the Demon Fortress. They will welcome the Lord at any time."
"Yes, I understand. I will convey it to the master after he comes out."
Stukov nodded lightly again, but his tone of agreement was very firm, as if he didn't believe that Xue Hua couldn't win this duel.
Anne and Funya standing next to it looked nervously at the golden mist. During the more than ten days of waiting, they never left the command room, and they could even count the number of times they blinked.
clear...
However, although everyone here, including Harens on the Protoss flagship, believed that Xue Hua could eventually defeat Narud, such a long wait still made them feel very anxious.
“Stukov, do you want the fleet to return first and just leave us waiting here?
After all, the bases in the rear still need fleet maintenance, and there may be changes in several colonies if there is no fleet stationed there for a long time..."
Zagara suggested to Stukov.
The problem it mentioned does exist. There are indeed some resistance forces in the planetary colonies currently controlled by the swarm. If the swarm fleet does not return for a long time, those guys may soon jump out and cause trouble.
"...Then let..." Stukov hesitated for a moment, and finally seemed to think that his proposal did make some sense, so he was ready to issue an order for part of the fleet to return first to subdue the colonies.
Possible rebels.
But just when it was about to speak, the golden mist on the psychic screen suddenly surged, and then spread out in all directions!
"Someone is coming out!" Isa reminded loudly in the main nest mind.
When the two girls who had been staring closely at the light curtain saw this scene, they took a few steps towards the light curtain very anxiously, as if they could see who was coming out in advance.
"Get ready for battle! Lilia! Get ready for..."
"Stukov...it's me." Just as Stukov was about to issue a full alert order, Xue Hua's tired voice came from the main hive mind.
"It's the master! Clear the alarm!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Stukov was startled for a moment, then the corners of his stern mouth could not help but tilt up slightly, and then he issued the order to cancel the alarm.
"Your swarm welcomes you back, Overlord!"
"Haha... don't do this, send me the king insect, I'm too lazy to fly by myself..."
Xue Hua's voice revealed extreme exhaustion.
After hearing his words, Stukov immediately sent a king insect into the light mist, and quickly took Xue Hua, who had returned to human form, back to the "Queen of Blades".
As soon as he entered the command room, two waves of fragrant wind suddenly hit his arms, one from the left and the other from the right.
"Oh, my dears... be gentle, be gentle..."
Being bumped into by the two girls, Xue Hua suddenly bared his teeth.
"You are hurt?"
Annie, who was more thoughtful, immediately noticed Xue Hua's weakness. She immediately raised her head, looked at him with tears in her eyes and asked.
"It's okay, it's just a minor injury. I'm back now."
Xue Hua grinned and comforted the two girls softly.
They are Xue Hua's biggest concern in this universe. Without them, he wouldn't even know what reason he would have to wake up from that dream that seemed both true and false.
Recalling the thrilling battle he had just experienced, Xue Hua now felt waves of luck and fear in his heart.
If it weren't for Kerrigan's plan thousands of years in advance, if it weren't for Narud's arrogant nature, if it weren't for the will of the universe and the Lord of the Dead's efforts to help him, he might not be alive to see these two lovers.
But fortunately, all this is over, and all of Narud's plans and ambitions have been buried in an invisible fate by its own hands.
But I... got a benefit that no one expected because of its desperate act in the end.
This benefit is the result of Narud's efforts, even at the risk of offending the entire universe, but in the end he still failed.
