StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 390

"Boom - boom -"

The entire command center was trembling with dull, rumbling bangs, and the white light that flashed from time to time illuminated Augustus's resolute face.That wasn't thunder and lightning, but the roar of the Yamato Cannon and the Protoss Battleship's main guns bombarding the main hive area.

However, this war has spread to all surrounding provinces including Villari province, and countless lives have died.Al has been burning all the time, and the ignited flames of war have become more and more intense, and the singing of songs has reached its climax today.

"The last fleet of the Protoss Empire has joined the battle, and countless Protoss warships are jumping over the overlord's lair." Kerrigan, who was standing next to Augustus, was operating the star chart table with his hands in white gloves , a picture captured by the sensor and the scientific ship's high-precision camera is projected onto the holographic projection screen in front of it.

The resplendent protoss fleets appeared one after another in Aiur's static orbit, and their elegant alloy shells and the curves like swallowtail wings perfectly interpreted the interpretation of beauty and art by the master phase technicians of the Protoss Empire .They shone brightly, with a golden light like the sun.Rows of neatly arranged protoss aircraft carrier secrets shuttle back and forth between the aircraft carriers, and the blue light flickering on the tail of the aircraft is like a firefly.

The sky is getting darker, and the ground is shrouded in darkness, only the sky is dazzling, as if that is the brightly lit city, and the ground is the night sky.

In this huge fleet, there are many arbitrators, who were considered extremely rare in the past, these magnificent and noble moon-shaped spaceships hang above all warships and spaceships.Usually only the noble arbitrator class will drive the arbitrator to overlook the entire battlefield. This is a support ship equipped with advanced invisible force field and stasis force field generators, and its interior is filled with the powerful spiritual abilities of the arbitrators. quantity.

No Protoss Executor would refuse the help of an Arbiter, a weapon capable of dividing a battlefield or bringing an entire army under a field of invisibility.But arbitrators seldom join the ranks of expeditionary forces. They shoulder the responsibility of leading the entire Protoss empire, and they don't have to be proficient in the art of war and command like executive officers.

In this fleet, some Arbiters even serve as flagships to guide the newly arrived Protoss fleet to adjust its course, which also means that they will bear the brunt of the Zerg attack.

"This is the last Armada of the Olga tribe, pouring out endless rage." A protoss templar dressed in pure golden armor and a helmet inlaid with a blue Kaidarin mind crystal appeared on the communication channel In the middle, behind him is the orange flag of the Olga tribe.

"Fight for Al!"

"It's all about Al." On another sync channel, Aldarius' blue eyes turned golden with psychic power.

"The council's support came at the right time, arbitrators." Tassadar was a very wise leader, and he would not hold grudges for the Supreme Council's attempt to arrest him.Even if it were not in the face of a larger, existential crisis for the entire race, Tassadar would not seek revenge.

"With your participation, the attack on the main hive area and the overlord itself can be put on the agenda." He said.

"We believe that, as the executive elected by the council, you already have a plan of attack." Aldarius responded.

"The Council once suspected an executive who shouldered the honor and the light of Kara, and tried to interfere in areas that he was not good at. Now, we will listen to your opinion."

"This is our last chance." Tassadar's words did not contain any pretentious rhetoric, he just stated the offensive plan forcefully.

"We must slay more cerebrates to distract the Overmind, and weaken its power to weaken it. At the same time, warriors must forge a path to the Overmind itself - both on the ground and in the sky , after this, we can face the master directly, and then kill this hateful monster thoroughly."

"Simple and direct, that's a hunter's simple trap, better than thousands of wonderful fantasies." Aldaris was silent for a moment, as if he was listening to the opinions of other arbitrators.

"Just do that, and the Supreme Council will open a path for you to become the master," Aldarius continued.

"Convey the will of the Supreme Council to the entire fleet, the eldest sons of God, this is the end of glory."

"Fight." Tassadar finally said: "Soldiers, allies of mankind, without the support of any one of you, we would not be able to get to where we are today."

"This is the last battle, and it must resound through the stars."

After speaking this passage, this brief conversation with the leader of He Fang will come to an end.Next, there is only one task before everyone - to open a path to the location of the Lord.

"So, after that, what are you going to do?" At this moment, Augustus, who had been watching Tassadar's conversation with Aldaris, asked loudly, his voice inevitably made the disconnection Everyone in the communication returned to the screen again.

"What are you going to do? Tassadar, how can we ensure that we can kill the Overmind."

"From the experience of many battles with the master, we can know that the monster larger than the city has unimaginable spiritual power-it can directly open the wormhole leading to Aiur." Augustus said .

"It can resurrect brain worms, and it may also be eternal."

"We once tried to kill the newborn Gabriel Tosh with ordinary weapons, but once again he came back from the dead. Against a far more powerful Overlord, one must kill anyway."

None of those present, except Augustus, knew the meaning of Tassadar's words.Tassadar has never confided his plans to others. He is sincere and honest by nature, but he rarely hides his intentions from his friends.

When facing the rest of the coalition forces, Tassadar just repeated the plan he had just told Aldaris, but never mentioned the last step.

The coalition, including Phoenix, Artanis, Taldarin, and Zeratul, just knew they had to tear through the defenses around the Overmind, defeat the zerg guarding the lair, and kill the Overmind.

But none of them noticed the obvious question, how to kill the Overmind.

"." Tassadar was stunned. The reason why he didn't talk about it was just because he wanted to avoid this issue.

After a few seconds of silence, he replied: "...sacrifice."

Tassadar's words were brief.

"What kind of sacrifice?" Without any hesitation, Aldaris who was listening 'blurred':
"Is our sacrifice enough?"

"Just me is enough." Tassadar just repeated calmly: "Aldaris, only me is enough.

"If you want to kill the Juggernaut, the naval guns are far from enough. To destroy the entire Al, the Juggernaut may be the only living creature." Augustus continued: "Since Zeratul said that he killed the brain worm for the first time When I felt that the master felt the sting from the death of the brain worm, he was bleeding and injured like a mortal body instead of a steel and iron body, so it proved..."

"The void energy of the Dark Templar can injure the Juggernaut as well as kill him, but Zeratul's power is far less than that of the Juggernaut. To kill the Juggernaut, hundreds or even more Zeratuls are needed."

Before coming to Aiur, Augustus had discussed this issue with Zeratul and Tassadar many times, and their answers were surprisingly consistent, that is, to use the dark templar like killing cerebrates The void spirit mastered can kill the overlord.

But this is almost an impossible thing to do. Although the psychic power of the brain worms is already very powerful, the gap between them and the master is greater than that of the stars and the moon.It is the most outstanding dark templar master, when he swung his psionic blade to stab the master, it might be as simple as scratching the skin.

At the beginning, both Tassadar and Zeratul fell into a depressed and melancholy posture, while Augustus believed that: great efforts make miracles.

Then the conclusion is obvious, if one Dark Templar can't kill the Overmind, call more.

In the original story, as the dark patriarch who travels outside and doesn't care about the affairs of the clan, Zeratul has only a hundred dark templars around him.But after Augustus went with them to Sacoolas and asked for help, it was quite different.

The Dark Templar number in the hundreds of thousands, each a powerful and deadly master of the shadows who once sprinted through the shadows.When these dark templar, like their ancestors once unleashed the storm that swept across Aiur thousands of years ago, the psionic storm imbued with void energy will destroy everything.

However, an obvious problem is that this requires the sacrifice of a very, very large number of Dark Templars.This number may be extremely large, and for the Sacoolas Protoss whose population is much smaller than the Al Protoss, this is definitely a heavy blow.

Among the dark templars who came to Aiur, not all warriors were willing to die for the home planet they had only heard of since birth.Even if the Dark Templar were willing to do that, Zeratul who brought these warriors out of Sacoolas would be a sinner to his race.

The dark templars left Sacoolas under the orders of the matriarch. They trusted Zeratul and were willing to listen to his orders. Few warriors returned home, and the dead souls of Nerazim would return to the void, but they were still alive The dark templar of the dark templar could only hear the voices of their kin once more in the whispers of the void.

At the time, Tassadar firmly objected, believing that the Dark Templar who aided the Aiur Protoss should not have made such a sacrifice.Tassadar was a great warrior, great because he was willing to sacrifice himself for others and his race.

"That requires unparalleled power. That power does not come from the mighty power of the stars, but the infinite energy of the void and the power of Kara." Tassadar's sky-blue eyes seemed to be looking directly at the behind through the distance between the screens. Augustus, it seems, is blaming him for the extravagance.

At this time, even if Tassadar is unwilling to tell his plan, he must give an explanation to his allies and the Supreme Council.

Tassadar asked, "Aldaris, do you remember Adun's Twilight Ascension?"

"That was the first feat we called the ascension of the soul, and that epic feat has been passed down to this day." Aldarius said immediately.

"Aden, the original twilight apostle--Anaksuen, he once fused the power of the void and Kara at the same time in order to save the protoss, and completed the sublimation of the soul in the terrifying power that burst out from it." Tassadar said .

"And I will follow his example. The power of Twilight Ascension is greater than the power of the Void and Kara combined."

"I can't understand. Except for Adun, no one can master the power of the void and Kara at the same time." As an arbitrator, Aldaris obviously knew better.

"I can." Tassadar just said: "I will drive the Star Shuttle alone to the Juggernaut, inject enough void energy into the battleship to fuse with Kara's psionic energy, detonate the entire battleship, and die with the Juggernaut."

"You know what that brings? You're here." The fire in Aldarius' eyes flickered, an expression resembling a human frown.

Aldarius had snapped at Tassadar and scorned his betrayal, but that didn't mean he had any prejudice against Tassadar.

"No—Tassadar." Zeratul's image appeared from the other side of the screen: "There must be a better solution."

"Augustus once mentioned your thoughts to me, so you actually hid something from us for the first time. You are determined to sacrifice yourself and perish with the master, but without your leadership, where should the templar go? "

"And who should protect the people of the Protoss Empire?"

Zeratul appeared suddenly, as if he had been listening to their conversation.

"Dark Templar Zeratul!" Aldaris has complicated feelings for Zeratul. Even though he knows the power of the Dark Templar is very important, his dislike for them still lingers.

After all, at birth, the Protoss of the Protoss Empire are taught that the Dark Templars are corrupt and evil, and that they will destroy Kara and the Protoss Empire.

Tassadar was amazed that Augustus knew what he was thinking, which was incredible because he had never mentioned it to the other party.And Tassadar can only guess that his words and deeds exposed this point, after all he is not good at hiding his thoughts.

Based on his understanding of Augustus, Tassadar believed that it must be the human leader's eagle-like sharp thinking, meticulous observation ability and keen thinking that found the clues, and finally connected them into a truth. Express your own true thoughts.

"And Artanis." Tassadar mentioned a name, and the owner of the name immediately shouted out of panic and disbelief.

"Even if I do it again? I won't lead our people like you." Artanis was shocked by the words of the spiritual teacher.

"I believe you can, Artanis," said Tassadar. "If you don't know what to do, take the advice of Zeratul and Phoenix, and the wisdom of Augustus Mengsk will help. you."

"—For Al, for the Protoss Empire, and for the continuation of the people. The Templars will fight to the death so that more Kalai can live. Someone must make a sacrifice, forgive my selfishness."

"That can only be me."
