StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 379 The Arrogant Parliament

There are less than 200 protoss warriors in red. They pass through the dense virgin rainforest with entangled branches and branches with grace and agility. Sunlight.

The Protoss warriors who guard the Supreme Council of the Protoss Empire are all dressed in gorgeous red robes that are almost exaggerated, and a reddish-brown burqa that is sewn with dark brown beast leather, a smaller size, golden pendants and fillings. The blue heart energy crystals swayed as they moved through the forest.

This distinctive feature distinguishes them from other protoss warriors, and the flame-like symbol of the Yara tribe really seems to be burning.

Another costume feature that differs from the templars is that some council guards wear eye patches on their heads, and their longer nerve bundles than other protoss are wrapped with some kind of thick red silk brocade. , and the end is tied with a scroll of yellowed animal skin.

It is said that on it is the map drawn by the great Cass when he traveled all over Al, and it was with the map drawn by himself that he found the way to create the spiritual network Kara.As the descendants of the protoss who stood beside Cass at first, the Yala tribe reminded themselves to keep their mission in mind in this way.Again, this is a symbol of their status.

They have almost no armor, but they carry round-shaped psionic amplifiers on their backs, which enables these protoss warriors who are well versed in Kara's way to use powerful psionic energy to perform terrifying psionic attacks.

The Taldarin protoss also wear scarlet robes, but their costumes have a more distinctive visual impact, being the color of blood.The symbol of the Yala tribe represents the flame that brings warmth and light, which also heralds the identity of this tribe as the ruler of the Supreme Council and the presiding officer of the meeting.

"Hey, look at the outfits of these protoss, it's really cool." Tychus, holding a heavy machine gun in front of Augustus, was chewing on a Tyrador cigar, and looked at the protoss who suddenly appeared. From the tight-sealed helmet puffs out clouds.

"Don't you think it's too gorgeous? It's almost like those male birds who adorn themselves for courtship." Kerrigan said venomously.

"In public, politicians always wear cumbersome traditional costumes or other elite status. Among the protoss with obvious tribal distinctions, this is nothing more than normal." Augustus watched Those council guards who were nimbly shuttling through the rainforest watched their crimson figures jump into the fangs and claws of the Belog swarm to start a bloody slaughter.

Augustus suddenly had an image of his father, Angus Mengsk, attending a Senate meeting in Korha, in traditional clothing so heavy that it looked like armor.

"The Protoss Empire maintains internal peace with a clear and strict class system to avoid civil wars and genocide. Therefore, they must emphasize and maintain this distinction in all aspects of the empire's operation and the lives of the people, otherwise the lower classes will The protoss of the class would override their positions and rights."

The rulers of the Protoss Empire hope that their compatriots will remember their blood and traditions, so that they can remember their mission.This is also the reason why the tribe has survived to this day. ——Before the establishment of the Protoss Empire, the Protoss on Aiur had declined to the tribal age, and the divisions between the tribes still existed in this era.

The current Protoss is still proud of bloodlines and tribal totems, and they also divide powers by tribes when they have a highly developed civilization.

"Yara protoss, they are one of the youngest among the protoss tribes, but they firmly hold the right to speak in the protoss empire." Augustus continued to comment: "Yara protoss is arrogant and indifferent , they will be desperate for the survival of Kara and the Protoss Empire."

Another arbitrator tribe, the Sirak tribe, once gave birth to great figures like Kass, but they are indifferent to politics and military affairs.The Xirac tribe is the guardian of the Sael'Naga Sanctuary and the Great Archives. They only pay attention to the past history, not the immediate present and the distant unknown future.

"In other words, all the protoss in the Supreme Council are from this tribe?" Tychus didn't care about the culture and customs of the protoss, he only cared about who is the official, and that the official is easy to fool A fool is still a ruthless character that is not easy to mess with, which usually determines his own thinking of committing crimes in a certain area.

"Look, they don't look like those pampered politicians. Looking at those crazy guys, I have no doubt that they can screw off the head of Hank's bad boy."

"Why me." Harnack, who was concentrating on the troubles around him, heard his name.

As Tychus spoke, the red-cloaked High Council guards had engaged the Berog swarm.They were not far from Augustus, who could see the lightning-fast Protoss warriors killing the zerg through the HUD system on the power armor.

A warrior of the Yara tribe, covered in a burqa, sliced ​​open the head of a Belog Zergling with a sharp psionic blade in his hand, and then turned around and smashed it with a sharp elbow blow. The front snout of a Hydra Hydralisk made the monster that was about to attack from behind scream sharply.

The blue flames in the eyes of this protoss warrior became even more radiant, causing the psychic energy surging around him to freeze and take shape.A blue phantom of the same shape as his figure stepped out of his shadow, swinging the psionic blade pierced through the soft armor between the Hydralisk's back and head with just one blow.

More Berog Hydralisks came at him like giant snakes from between the canopy and vines of the primordial jungle, and the bones behind the stretched ridges began to shoot sharp, poisonous bone needles at the protoss warrior.In a few seconds, hundreds of spikes and bone needles enough to pierce the armor of the tank hit the energy shield of the Protoss warrior, and then these bone needles and Hydralisks were all in a surge of spiritual energy. Can be wiped out in a storm.

It is not difficult for Augustus to find that these protoss warriors who have guarded the Supreme Council of the Supreme Power of the Protoss Empire since ancient times are definitely not inferior to a high-ranking templar. Their powerful spiritual power comes from their status as arbitrators Strong ties to Kala and devotion to Dawu's teachings.

Not only that, but they are also extremely powerful.Belog is the rarest of the Zerg hives dominated by the guards, but their individuals are also the most powerful and ferocious, able to develop the bloodthirsty nature of the Zerg genes to the extreme, and the council guards But can easily defeat them.

The guards of the Supreme Council enjoyed a reputation in the Protoss Empire for preventing the Dark Templar from "killing" in Ayr in the era of Adun. All opponents are enemies.

At this time, two revolutionary army battalions rushed over at a hasty pace, and a large number of off-road vehicles, Goliath armed robots, and self-propelled artillery rushed to the battlefield, waiting for Augustus's order.

As soon as Marshal Augustus named these two troops to repel the Zerg, the soldiers felt lucky, and in a few days it would be rumored that the Marshal had personally commanded them.

"Help these protoss, warriors, aim and fight." Augustus ordered, "It's rare that these proud protoss will help us."

"Hank, you come to command them, you have to pay back this favor."

"It shouldn't be difficult." Hearing this, Hanack immediately joined the command of the two troops and ran: "I am Colonel Hank, and you all heard the order from Marshal Augustus Mengsk."

A few years ago, Harnack was a rogue boy who had offended Augustus, but now he is his most loyal supporter.Although Harnack scoffed at the Pantalonian revolutionaries who kept talking about Augustus and the party programme, that didn't stop him from doing the same himself.

"Brothers of the Revolutionary Army, you must follow me closely, otherwise I will kick your ass and go forward - look for my armor, for Augustus, for the future of Tyrannian humans, and then move forward. "

Hanak immediately yelled "Chong Chong Chong" and led the soldiers to support the protoss fighters who were fighting the Belog worm. These two revolutionary battalions were motorized infantry battalions equipped with chariots. Harnack led the light tanks with anti-aircraft machine guns and missile launchers on the rear seats, quickly approaching the Zerg and shooting at them.

At this moment, the two protoss colossi that were advancing on the battlefield also calibrated their targets and fired. The high-temperature plasma particle streams projected by the solar heat gun crossed and swept across their feet, and the extreme high temperature burned one deep hole after another on the ground. Deep black pits.All the zerg that were swept away were reduced to scorched earth, and even their blood was evaporated.

Even though the Belog swarm is extremely fierce and tenacious, it is only a matter of time before they are defeated by the joint attack of humans and protoss.

"Come on, guys. We've got to keep moving until we get rid of these bugs," Kerrigan said to the Revolutionary soldiers who were coming from elsewhere.

"Wait, there seems to be something wrong. Those protoss seem to have turned their spears against us?" Tychus, with sharp eyes, suddenly called out.

As Tychus said, this does not seem to be as simple as a joint operation between allies.

The soldiers of the Revolutionary Army who went to support the Protoss quickly approached the guards of the Supreme Council who were fighting the Belog worms, but these Protoss warriors in red robes just stopped and stared at them indifferently.

At a certain moment, some of the council guards who were stepping on the Zerg corpse turned their heads to look at the approaching human soldiers at the same time as if they were connected with each other, their blue eyes were like ice.

When Hanak's troops were getting closer and closer to the Protoss, a captain of the council guard in a red battle robe, a high hat with pendants hanging on the edge of the hat held up a hand held in the direction of the humans. A sharp long knife forged in crystal and golden alloy.Even though humans generally cannot understand the physical movements of protoss, they can understand that they are full of threats and warnings.

These protoss warriors who strictly follow the tradition will still use ancient cold weapons, even these sacred weapons named Sigma's long sword even come from the age of the gods and people before the ages.Their tenacity and sharpness also surpassed many weapons of the current Protoss Empire. With the assistance of psionic energy, they could easily cut off the carapace and the hard bones under the neck of the Zerg.

The proud protoss warrior could have used the language of the mind to make humans retreat, but he just used an ancient protoss Kalani language to say a motto that is said to have come from Cass: "The Supreme Council will never make mistakes, and the Supreme Council will never make mistakes. correct."

"I don't know, Augustus, but it seems that these protoss didn't come to help us in the first place - we just happened to be within the warp force field of the protoss arbiter." Kerrigan's voice suddenly become hasty.

"Augustus, I can feel their thoughts surging like waves and the will of their hearts as one, ordering the soldiers to stop and not approach them."

"Hank, stop, everyone stop immediately and build fortifications where you stopped." Augustus took a fraction of the time to make a judgment, and even without Kerrigan saying it, he found out The strangeness of these protoss warriors.

"We are here to help the protoss, how could they regard us as enemies - no, they regard human life as nothing, and we are just low creatures in the eyes of the protoss." Kerrigan's powerful telepathic ability can Inducted the thoughts of those protoss warriors flowing on the surface.

"They didn't take human beings seriously," Augustus said.

"They refuse to share any glory with lesser humans." Kerrigan's voice grew angry.

"The Council regards it as an insult to fight alongside humans to save Aiur, because it only highlights their incompetence. The Protoss Empire does not need to accept human help"

"Because the protoss have always defeated their enemies head-on with honor, they don't need alien allies to win."

The Revolutionary Army already had the experience of fighting alongside the protoss.The templars of Tassadar have a kind of arrogance from the warrior class, so they don't have acquaintance with the Kalai or other races who are regarded as civilians, but they are also willing to protect theirs when fighting humans. flank or provide other support.

The dark templar is just a smelly and rotten stone in Tychus's words. They almost never speak, and they always look at humans with sympathy, ignorance and small pity, but the dark templar is actually easier A race of protoss who understand human emotions.

But these protoss in crimson robes are different. They only look at humans with hostility and contempt.

Under Augustus's order, the advancing soldiers stopped immediately. Even if they couldn't understand the meaning of the order, they were confused but carried it out firmly.If it was not Augustus but other officers who changed the order at will, he would probably be scolded by the young and energetic soldiers.

However, even so, some of the parliamentary guards launched an attack when the soldiers of the revolutionary army were about to stop. Their speed was as fast as ghosts, and the blue psionic energy was beating along with their leaping and vigorous steps. The curved arc is like a dancing snake.

"Damn it, these lunatics, they don't care if we're their allies," Tychus yelled.

"Shoot!" Augustus yelled over the command channel.

"Shoot! Fuck shoot! Fuck smash them!" Harnack had already noticed something was wrong, every two words in his series of commands contained a dirty word.
