I don’t know what happened on this day, but everything seemed to be reported back to Xue Hua when he just had some free time.
Less than five minutes after Xue Hua deployed Krisa's operation, Isa fed back to him the latest news about the swarm fleet.
Stukov had just led the fleet into the maximum contact range of the main hive mind, and sent them a contact request using enhanced psychic signals.
Xue Hua had been waiting for the insect fleet to bring back clues about the locations of the two new protoss beacons, so after receiving this request, he agreed without hesitation.
Then, Stukov's psychic signal, which he had not seen for a long time, was connected to the main hive mind.
As soon as the signal was connected, Stukov reported to Xue Hua in an urgent tone that was completely inconsistent with his character.
"Master, the swarm fleet has already explored the star areas where the two protoss beacons are located...During the exploration, we discovered some unusual problems."
Under his comfort, Stukov took a breath, and then slowly told Xue Hua about the abnormal situation discovered by the fleet this time.
It turned out that after the insect swarm fleet crossed over to the location of the first psychic beacon, it almost immediately discovered the protoss colony ship. It was parked not far from the point where the insect swarm fleet crossed over, and it was
At the same time, the fleet also discovered the final destination of the colonial ship.
——It is a huge planet covered by a diffuse earthy yellow dust haze.
According to the analysis of the planet by the Monitor King Insect, this planet should be a solid planet whose surface is obscured by endless dust wind belts.
This planet is located in the central region of that asteroid system, but its rotation speed is quite slow, and it has no atmosphere, so its surface is not suitable for biological survival.
However, these conditions are nothing to the protoss, a race with super technological strength, and they are no obstacle to the insect swarm at all.
Therefore, Stukov initially thought that the protoss had landed on the planet. As for why they did not bring the colony ship with them, it did not know at the time.
Therefore, Stukov asked the Overlord Insect to begin scanning the planet for biological signals and psychic disturbances, and asked the fleet to begin approaching the planet in a defensive posture.
However, the scan results reported by King Chong later surprised him.
Because the scanning results of the King Insect show that this planet is a standard "Death Star" without any biological signals emitting from it. Only certain mineral layers on the surface of the planet that are suspected of being mines emit relatively weak psychic disturbances.
Only then did Stukov sense that something was wrong, and withdrew the fleet that was about to approach the outer reaches of the planet.
At first, it thought this was another "Planet One" and prepared its fleet for battle.
However, after several hours of vigilance without any abnormality, Stukov turned his attention to the protoss colony ship.
It sent the Overlord to lead the Zerg ground troops to the colony ship, trying to find any clues about the protoss.
However, after the swarm landed on the colony ship, he discovered that the colony ship was simply an empty shell. Except for the anchoring facilities, all other cabins and equipment inside had been completely destroyed, and even the sun debris in the power propulsion part had been completely destroyed.
The reactor turned into a huge hole.
It was as if the colony ship had been attacked by a fatal invasion just when it crossed into this area. The attackers destroyed everything inside the colony ship directly from the inside, leaving only a seemingly intact empty shell that was returned.
The anchoring system that is barely functioning is fixed in the deep space of the universe.
And by observing the ruined internal facilities of the colony ship, Stukov deduced that this should be a "sleep chamber" ship full of protoss life forms, but the swarm did not find any protoss dormant chambers inside.
.
Apparently, the attackers took away all the protoss dormant chambers.
This behavior of the attacker gave Stukov a bad premonition. He quickly left a squadron and a few king insects carrying worker bees and asked them to establish a hatchery on that planet, and then
He led the main fleet directly to the next Protoss beacon location.
However, when they arrived at the second beacon, Stukov realized that his premonition had come true.
Because they found a large number of wreckage fragments of Protoss creations in that airspace, including a large number of Protoss fighter planes and combat vehicles.
The glittering wreckage of "pirate ships" and "reconnaissance planes" almost covered the entire airspace, and most of the hulls of "five void glow ships" were even floating in them.
These protoss ships obviously experienced a fierce battle, and they did not win the final victory.
Because Stukov found a giant protoss colony ship that was almost broken in two in the central area of these wreckage.
This protoss colony ship is larger than the two colony ships that Stukov has seen before put together, and it can be seen from its appearance alone that its body is covered with various types of destroyed objects.
Weapon systems and turrets.
This is obviously a large armed colonial ship with extremely strong combat effectiveness and a small fleet as escort.
However, such a strong combat capability was completely destroyed by a mysterious attacker.
And what made Stukov, the swarm commander, feel a little creepy the most was that on this interstellar battlefield, he only saw the wreckage of Protoss fighter planes and battleships, but did not find any price paid by the attackers.
This proves that this powerful protoss fleet was almost completely destroyed by its opponent without any damage.
But how is this possible?
With the strength of this protoss fleet, the idea of annihilating them without paying any price is almost like a dream.
Even with Stukov's confidence, there is absolutely no certainty that such a thing can be accomplished.
However, this miraculous scene actually happened before his eyes...
Stukov was silent for a while, and then sent out the swarm to collect all the remaining intelligence of this war.
And just as it expected, there are still no traces of protoss lifeforms in this battlefield site.
After the death of the protoss warriors, their souls will return to Kara, and unless they are completely isolated from the spiritual connection with the outside world, their body parts will also dissipate and no body will be left behind (refer to the death of Zeratul).
But the equipment they carry will remain in most cases.
However, Stukov was unable to find any non-vehicle equipment of the Protoss Warriors in the wreckage of the battlefield, neither the equipment of the Zealots, High Templars, or Dark Templars.
Moreover, in the large colony ship that was almost broken, all the dormant compartments were moved away again, and the solar debris reactor of the colony ship also completely disappeared like the previous colony ship.
Stukov only found some hidden and encrypted image crystals in the lowest cabin of this large colonial ship, but other than that, he never found anything else.
The attackers seemed to have deliberately destroyed all valuable items and information inside the colony ship, as if they wanted to cover up something.
However, Stukov has already drawn a terrible conclusion through the conditions of two consecutive protoss beacon points.
Something is hunting the protoss who colonized this place!
And the goal of this thing is very clear, which is to seize the dormant chambers of the protoss and destroy the valuable equipment and information on the colony ship.
They are undoubtedly powerful and know exactly what they are doing. They even know the final destination of all protoss colony ships very well.
Phase technician Keles's colony ship did not reach its final destination because it was attacked inexplicably before entering Oritsu, so he and his lover were lucky to escape.
But I don’t know if other protoss colony ships are so lucky.
