StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 380
Conflict takes place between lightning and flint, and bullets and shells react faster than people.

Since the areas where the Zerg appeared were extremely dense virgin rainforests, the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army who were ordered to carry out the offensive mission had to abandon their vehicles and advance on foot.

The closest to the guards of the Supreme Council of the Protoss Empire is Colonel Hanak Hank's ten-member Red Devil special combat team and the heavy fire team of the 148th Battalion, followed by the two full-stacked companies of the battalion.

These soldiers are not elite guards, but they are also veterans who have fought with Augustus on many planets.Their weapons are the standard equipment of the Revolutionary Army: CMC-200 power armor, AGR-14 Gauss rifle, electromagnetic nail gun, individual bazooka and grenade launcher, and some fire teams will also be equipped with Mark heavy sniper and heavy chain machine gun.

These soldiers are also supported by tanks and armed transports armed with heavy cannons, rockets and plasma cannons, as well as upgraded spider and minebooth robots for treacherous mountains and jungles.

Usually, this equipment is enough for trained Revolutionary soldiers to withstand the onslaught of the swarm and wait for the support of Goliath, Arc Tank, Sidewinder hover tank and other heavy firepower, but they have not participated in a frontal conflict with the protoss.

They were probably only fifteen hundred yards away from the enemy, but with the agility and speed of the elite protoss fighters, that was only a distance that could be covered by an accelerated charge.Human weapons and vehicles are nothing to fear in the eyes of the protoss. They can crush the Zerg from the front, and the same is true for humans.

Augustus's order to order the soldiers to stop and build defenses on the spot played a certain role. Their tense nerves were already prepared to withstand the impact, but the attack of the Protoss still came too suddenly, too fast and too fast. dangerous.

Most of the Supreme Council guards were concentrating on eliminating the Belog Zerg in the jungle, and only about ten to fifteen Protoss fighters attacked the Revolutionary Army, which was nearly a hundred times their number.With the help of spiritual shields, even the hail of bullets couldn't hurt them in the slightest.

These protoss warriors wearing only red battle robes broke into the front lines of the revolutionary army in brilliant psychic light, and mercilessly brought destruction to the lower races in their eyes.These fighters representing the authority and force of the Supreme Council of the Protoss Empire have more powerful psionic powers than the high-ranking templars, and their noble arbitrator blood makes them closer to the glory of Kara.

At this moment, Augustus could only see the reflection of the soldiers' helmets in the sun, the flames of the guns, and the sparkling storm brought about by the explosion of psionic energy.

Under Harnack's command, the soldiers launched an emergency salvo, and all the machine guns and rockets also fired at the same time, and the Goliath armed robots striding towards the most dangerous areas also tried their best to provide Backing up, the barrage of Gauss rifles and exploding grenades is a testament to the daunting challenges faced by the soldiers.

Self-propelled artillery and arc tanks also provided flank support to the two battalions, and the shriek of shells filled the sky above the rainforest.

A large number of soldiers were scattered by the protoss as if they had entered the land of no one. The bullets and shells either stagnated in the air or were bounced off by the psychic shield. scream.

The fighting method of high-level psykers is by no means as simple as rushing into the enemy's formation and cutting the enemy's head with a psychic blade. The spiritual power they have honed for centuries in Kara can give a great impact to human thinking, but the actual Psionic attacks are enough to tear armor apart and obliterate everything.

Unlike conventional wars that humans have seen, these protoss fighters can also use the flaws of human weapons to launch attacks in a very short period of time when fighting humans, such as using willpower to block the spark plug of a rifle, or bending a human cannon The barrel of the gun exploded.

In the revolutionary army boot camp, soldiers will also receive simulated training when fighting against the protoss, but no matter what kind of training it is, it is extremely difficult for humans who have a numerical advantage to win against the protoss, let alone these councils. Guards are the best of the best.

"So a few Protoss, can we smash our defenses?" Tychus had a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of the combat effectiveness of high-level protoss psykers, and their destructive power was no less than that of blockbusters.

"What's the matter? We came to help these protoss deal with the bugs, but they turned to kill them."

"Encountering enemy forces in the Panguang Longhe Mixie River, all combat posts, mobile troops, bush rangers and all the land forces in the area are assembled to me." Augustus said non-stop on the command channel.

"Notify Antioch star port, I need them to deliver a batch of anti-psychic troops, hurry up!"

"Damn it, they don't even think it's a breach of the covenant, because these bastards don't think of us as human beings!" Kerrigan picked up Tychus.

"Tychus, take my guards and ghost agents to kill those protoss." Augustus looked at Tychus Finley after giving the last order.

"I'd be more than fucking happy, I mean, as you wish." Tychus had long wanted to roll up his sleeves, but at this moment the rude man began to worry about Augustus' safety: " But what do you do?"

When he was in the Federation Army, Tychus would never say such a thing, he would only say that you sent me to the front line, so what the fuck should I do.

"Don't worry about it, Tychus." The face under Augustus' helmet is not very good. His loyal soldiers are dying, and the bravest are buried in the meat grinder of war one by one. .If this turns into a rout, it can only get worse.

"What are you going to do, kill them?" Kerrigan said as Tychus led a field marshal's guard away.

"Not one," replied Augustus, "the blow must be returned, and it must be returned in their faces, and the blood shall be paid in blood."

Tychus' support was timely, and the members of the Marshal's Guard were backbones and combat heroes from various armies. All of them were loyal to Augustus himself, and they deserved better weapons and stricter training.

Not only that, but in response to the assassination of Tyrann Federation ghost agents, the Marshal Guard is also equipped with anti-invisibility and EMP anti-psychic weapons, which also allows these fighters to counter the spiritual power of the protoss.

The timely support allowed Hanak's troops to stabilize the battle line, and the protoss gradually realized that human beings were not helpless. When the No.1 council guard was sieved by bullets due to the depletion of the psychic shield , the casualties of the protoss began to increase.

At the moment of the conflict, the Revolutionary Army showed no mercy. The artillery and bomber units listed the protoss who were fighting the Berog Zerg as equal targets.A large number of tungsten bombs and the 35-pound bombs of the Grizzly bombers completed intensive firepower coverage within a few minutes, and the rainforest and mountain rivers were leveled by the bombardment, and the casualties of the three tribes were multiplying.

The order to march was cancelled, and more revolutionary soldiers were gathering here. If this protoss army continued to stay here, they would be surrounded.

The human counterattack also attracted the attention of the council guards. They immediately mobilized more guards and even a colossus to destroy the human beings, regardless of who caused this unnecessary war.

The colossal statues guarded by the council are not those unsealed by Tassadar, but guard giants from the heart of the protoss empire's council. They are also completely different from those colossal statues with slender mechanical feet. They are carved into the appearance of protoss Giants.

These giants in ancient battle armor are powered by some incredible crystal matrix technology, equipped with solar heat guns and spiritual shields, which are also devastating weapons of war.

Even in the most dire of times, the Conclave did not activate the Colossi due to tradition and centuries-old arbitration.But after witnessing the terrifying power of the Colossus of Tassadar's forces, even the most stubborn and orderly members of the Conclave remained silent during the Colossus activation meeting.

The huge body of the colossus and the terrifyingly powerful heat gun can be said to be devastating to the current human army. No gun can break through its spiritual shield comparable to a battleship.It is also too tall and massive for heavy human firepower to destroy it before it ceases to destroy everything in sight, and only human warplanes with nuclear warheads can threaten the protoss colossus.

It's just that the protoss did not use this weapon on humans in the end, not because of the Dawu teachings that had been misinterpreted by the Supreme Council, but because of the sudden appearance of the Artanis army.

As Artanis's forces loomed on the horizon, the exec's undeniable telepathic language halted the war's escalation.This is a flying formation composed of hundreds of protoss fighters, and they are preparing to fly to the battlefield at the junction of Antioch and Sien Province.

Even Augustus in the distance could hear his angry spiritual voice: "Arbitrator, stop the madness of attacking human allies immediately, or we will annihilate you here."

Eventually, the Council Guards reluctantly withdrew from the war with the humans, and soon disappeared in the Arbiter's warp field.The remnants of the Belog swarm had retreated underground, and both the Council Guards and the Human Revolutionary Army had their losses in the conflict.

A golden reconnaissance plane landed in the glade next to Augustus, and the Artanis fighter came out of the iris exit in the belly of the aircraft.

"Augustus Mengsk, my Templars are always keeping an eye on the council's army. When they did such a despicable act, I rushed over." Artanis said as soon as he saw Augustus Say it right away.

"Colleagues in the council have fallen so far? The law of Dawu prohibits the protoss from intervening in the internal conflicts of other races or harming them by any means, but they did it anyway."

Both Tassadar and the protoss on the side of the Supreme Council are accusing each other of being the Fallen, and even though they are uniting to launch a counterattack against the Zerg, everyone knows that the alliance will not last long.Once the situation eases a little or the Supreme Council thinks that they have taken control of the situation, they may not necessarily backtrack.

"This is not over, Artanis, the Supreme Council must pay for this." Augustus walked towards the battlefield that had just calmed down: "The revolutionary army will not regard the Supreme Council and the armies of the arbitrators as allies."

In this conflict, Artanis stood firmly on the side of the Revolutionary Army, which at least kept humans from being disheartened.

"The Supreme Council may not care about this, but I swear they will pay for it."

"I will not intercede for my compatriots, Augustus." Artanis followed Augustus and said: "I only hope that we can fight side by side as we have in the past."

Although this incident has nothing to do with Artanis, his heart is still sad for the trauma caused by his compatriots to mankind.

"Artanis, if the Supreme Council was half as sincere and humble as you, then this matter would be much easier to handle." Augustus walked towards his soldiers who were still fighting the Protoss just now, noticing the soldiers' turmoil. The casualties far exceeded his imagination.

"It's not as simple as my soldiers dying because of them, Artanis, I only understand one thing, and that is that the Supreme Council is not trustworthy." Augustus has been walking for a long time, and Artanis has been follow.

"Do you think this was a sudden conflict or a premeditated attack?" he asked Artanis.

"Maybe the Supreme Council just wants to teach humans a lesson, reminding them that they should keep their feet on Aiur, or simply want us to leave"

"I don't think so, Commander, if their attack comes from the order of the Supreme Council, it will never be so simple." Artanis is also doubting the motives of the council guards.

"The members of the Supreme Council will not be those children who can't control their emotions, and they will never act on their own will. This must be to achieve a certain purpose."

"Are they trying to force us to leave, to weaken the strength of Tassadar's supporters?" Kerrigan tried to speculate, "But don't the protoss see humans as tiny bugs?"

"The power of humans must not be underestimated." Artanis said: "If you can defeat the Zerg, then you can defeat the Protoss."

"Maybe they just want to arouse the conflict between humans and protoss, so as to destroy our covenant with Tassadar." Augustus is also not sure what the Supreme Council thinks. If you are willing to join Kara, you want to kill them all. When the zerg ravaged Aiur, they even sent executive officers to arrest the Lord of Tassadar.

"But in that case, they should at least change their clothes."

"Aren't the protoss never playing tricks?" Kerrigan asked.

"It is precisely because of that that their conspiracy is too clumsy." Augustus said: "Actually, in this case, it will be difficult for us to distinguish which Protoss troops are Tassadar allies and which ones may attack us." Supporters of the Supreme Council."

Augustus came to the front at this time and was silent because of the death of those revolutionary soldiers.Many people's power armor was crushed into thin sheets by spiritual power, others were torn apart by spiritual energy storms, as for those who died due to attacks on the spiritual level, their seven orifices bleed.

"They don't deserve to die," Augustus simply said.
