StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 403 Arbitrator Duran

"Who does he think he is? A bad old man who walks and falls three times or a rectal bird that just defecates everywhere. It's quite impressive." Jim Raynor raised his head and glanced sideways at the imposing golden-robed arbitrator , whispered to Augustus.

"Using a bloody trial as the beginning of a peace negotiation, if you execute his people in front of Zeratul, it is impossible for him not to speak up." Augustus looked at Zeratul, just about to stop At the time of him, the latter had already refuted:
"As sinful people whose hands are stained with the blood of their own race, they should be detained, guarded and punished, and those protoss of the Handblade tribe should be abandoned by Adun and banished to the wasteland and dead void. But I arrest the traitor, not In order to hand them over to the Supreme Council for trial by the laws of the Protoss Empire!"

Before Augustus could grab him, Zeratul stood up and said loudly to the arbitrators opposite the huge ring court: "Executing traitors will not help at all, blood will only breed revenge, making hatred like a debt, Seizing the mastermind behind Aurega's Fist is the most important thing."

Zeratul still has a lot of respect for the Templar class, because in the legend, Aden, who saved the Nerazim clan of Saguras, is a Templar, which is why he is willing to put aside the past and fight with Tassadar. Talk and cooperate.

But the Supreme Council, led by the Arbiter class, was loathed by the Dark Templar, because it was they who ordered the expulsion of their ancestors and indirectly caused Adun's death.The first half of the millennium history of the Nerazim Protoss was spent in exile in a icy universe, and their wandering stories were filled with sorrow.

The arbitrators deeply disliked the dark templars, fearing that these deviant who would break the link with Kara even if they self-mutilated would bring terrible disaster and destruction to the Protoss Empire.

Unfortunately, the Dark Templar also looked down on the pretentious arbitrator class, and even the matriarch Razagal, who had always united the tribe with tolerance and majesty, bluntly said that no member of the Supreme Council would be allowed to set foot in Sacoolas.

"Dark Templar Zeratul, your weak words do not justify your despicable and wicked people. Don't they deserve this trial, or their cruelty against wounded templar in stasis pods !"

The arbitrator in a golden robe was standing beside his seat. He lifted his long hood, revealing his shriveled face and yellow eyes that seemed to be shrouded in a haze.

"Since the age of strife, the act of staining the blood of the same family is the greatest crime, which is even worse than betrayal. The lessons of history have given enlightenment and warning to all arbitrators. If such acts are not punished with the strictest , the disaster is not far away from us." He said.

"The endless war of cannibalism is still hurting the protoss to this day, and the nightmare of the eternal catastrophe is still hidden in the deepest part of Kara. Be prepared for danger in times of peace, and be unremittingly prepared. A judgment must be made according to the established law to dissolve the ice floes Misfortune never happened."

The spiritual words spoken by the arbitrator in the protoss Kalani language were all understandable in Augustus's mind, but they were still difficult to understand, like untouchable trees and stubborn stones.

"If you are determined to protect these cruel thugs, then I have nothing to say." The arbitrator said with an increasingly passionate tone: "Think of the Templars who died because of them, think of relatives and friends, how can you Can you cover murderers and inhuman thugs? Or are they actually instructed by you?"

"This guy doesn't look like he has nothing to say at all. Thanks to him, we are almost forgetting the reason for this meeting." Reynolds said: "This is a peace agreement: we will arrest Ou The head of the Dark Templar of Rhaegar's Fist then withdrew his army, as the old saying goes, row the river to rule, and the well water does not violate the river water!"

At first glance, the conflict between Tassadar and the Supreme Council is not irreconcilable. The differences mainly lie in their views and attitudes towards the Dark Templar. But unless they are threatened by foreign enemies, it will be difficult for them to unite again. .

One side of the Supreme Council believes that the existence of the dark templar is a threat to the Kara system, and believes that once the Kara is abandoned, the tragedy of the era of catastrophe will be repeated.Tassadar, on the other hand, insisted that Templar and Dark Templar could coexist, and was determined to create a system where both could live in harmony.

Due to the experience of being wanted in the past and the persuasion of his friends, Tassadar was unwilling to accept the leadership of the Supreme Council.After seeing Luria's protoss-zerg hybrid, Tassadar firmly believed that there was a threat in the universe that was more terrifying than the zerg, so it was imminent to unite the dark templar and other protoss branches to strengthen the protoss.

The Conclave was also horrified to see the Aiur protoss following Tassadar coexisting with the Dark Templar in a way that horrified them.

For the arbitrators, it was like sleeping with a virus bomb and working with the source of evil and corruption all day long. They would never tolerate the corruption of their own people by the dark templar who betrayed Kara.

Based on the differences in ideology, Tassadar and the Supreme Council will not meet each other with swords, but there is absolutely no possibility of peaceful coexistence.

The current situation in Aiur is extremely complicated. The Supreme Council and the followers of Tassadar each account for half of the number of Aiur protoss, and both sides hold a large number of war weapons and warships.

Although the military power of the protoss has been greatly reduced, too many technology and military production lines on Aiur were lost in the war so that they were forever forgotten, and their remaining military strength is enough to start a tragic war in Aiur. And that was enough to make the Protoss Empire, which had suffered heavy losses, go into decline.

"It seemed like they were just blaming and arguing with each other." As a Ghost agent with rigorous training and rich experience in assassinating politicians, Kerrigan knew all too well the hypocrisy of politicians and careerists.

"The arbitrator was just evading the important point, so that the main point of the meeting would be to condemn the dark templar represented by Zeratul. He doesn't care about peace, he just wants to attack the dark templar he hates." She said.

"Unfortunately, Zeratul is a very wise warrior, but he has not yet understood the tricks of politicians. When you are dragged into the field they are good at, you can't get rid of a group of sophists and liars. A star and a half of approval other than a nod."

"Ridiculous! Since I instructed them to do this to the Templars, why should they be arrested?" Zeratul has always had a good temper, but that doesn't mean he will never show anger, especially in the face of when the Supreme Council.

"If not, you should agree to the decision to put them to death," said the arbitrator.

"You nonsense!" Zeratul's expression quickly disappeared like a bubble frozen in the sun, but his body was already trembling at the words of the arbitrator:
"Do you think that the Dark Templars are as ruthless as the Supreme Council, and they will easily make a judgment to execute heretics? Orega is the chief culprit, and through interrogation and coercion, these Templars have no choice but to die." Not revealing the whereabouts of their pathetic leader."

"It's you who want to clear the evidence, right? The elder who is spurned by thousands of people in the Supreme Council, the master of the conspiracy and the executioner."

Augustus was sure that Zeratul never knew the Arbiter, and those descriptions were derived from the long-standing Dark Templar hatred of the Conclave.He was also surprised to find that Zeratul, who had always been known for his calmness and wisdom, would be so angry that he would scold the other party. Perhaps this venerable dark patriarch would never be able to bear slander.

"The Dark Templar has turned his back on the Kara, so you are disconnected from the Kara's followers, and you no longer feel one with the other."

The arbitrator said: "I see only lies and deceit, so I will never listen to the words of the dark templar, including you."

"You are a dark templar, so any suspicion based on evil is not an exaggeration. A ruthless person will not hesitate to discard a few chess pieces to achieve his goal. If no one can prove that this is not your carefully planned conspiracy, then I will always be skeptical of you. Zeratul, I listen to your defense of the murderers, but I will not agree with a single noble word in the Kalani language."

In the eyes of the arbitrators of the Supreme Council, the Dark Templar is synonymous with depravity, primitiveness and evil, and Orega's assassination of the Templar is in line with this kind of view.

"Why do I think this guy doesn't think it's a big deal at all?" Renault looked at it for a while, and expressed his doubts: "Except for him, no one would think that the execution of a few dark templars will solve the problem now. That is Tychus could see that too, and that only deepened the tension between Templar and Dark Templar."

"Once Zeratul comes forward, as the only leader of the Nerazim Protoss present, he will inevitably bear criticism and accusations against the Dark Templar. This guy is very accurate, Zeratul and Tassadar A brilliant warrior, not an ugly, ruthless, calculating politician." Augustus said:

"Then, if Tassadar insists on speaking for Zeratul, he will be suspected of justifying the criminals who attacked the templar."

"Zeratul, you don't need to mess with him."

He reminded his old friend: "People here will not kill those dark templars at will because of his words, or change their views on your kind because of your words."

"My father said that any disagreement can be resolved by reasoning. If the other party is unreasonable, then give him a fist." Lei Nuo lamented in his heart that the older generation who had struggled in the crops all their lives won in the fields. Wisdom comes from life.

"Don't act like a fool."

"That's enough, Arbitrator Duran." Tassadar stood up at this moment, obviously having endured the argument between the two.

"We're here for peace, not to fight with a few erring Dark Templars."

"I hope so." The member of the Supreme Council named Duran sat back slowly, acting like a shriveled zombie about to be buried in the ground: "I came for peace, but the dark teacher Zela Tu doesn’t think so.”

"The Protoss Empire is built on the recognition of Kara and the perfect harmony of the society. I have been committed to benefiting the people of the Empire since ancient times, and I have offered advice and suggestions for harmony and unity. No one can cherish this establishment more than me. Prosperity and peace based on the struggle of the eldest son of the god."

"It turned out to be you." As soon as Dulan's name was heard, all the impassioned statements fell into Augustus' ears, adding a lot of ironic meaning.

As the most powerful servant of the fallen Xel'Naga Emon, Duran is the only Xel'Naga who still has an incarnation in the physical universe where Augustus is.

For a long time, Duran has been planning the rebirth of his master and the physical universe, to welcome Amon's return, to build a huge hybrid army for Amon's plan to destroy the entire universe, and to conspire to eradicate those who might threaten his resurrection. A potential enemy of Amon's plans.

It can be said that Duran is the biggest behind-the-scenes agent and an extremely evil existence other than his master Amon in the universe. He used to play with everyone to achieve his own goals, and despised him with his knowledge, insight and wisdom as Naganaga. All living beings.

Unsurprisingly, Duran is also the enemy of Augustus, because the existence of the former threatens the survival of this universe, and it is impossible for Augustus to jump out of this world after all.

Based on the existence of the Naganaga avatar and the god-like technology of this race, Duran can transform into any kind of creature in the universe, which is why he was identified as a terrifying shape-shifting monster in the original plot.

In the memory of Augustus, Duran appeared in the image of a human being for the first time in front of the world. His identity was an officer of the former Alpha Squadron and a member of the revived Tyrann Federation organization. The party made suggestions for the UED expeditionary force from the ancient home of mankind, the earth.In the chapter of StarCraft II, Duran is aliased as Dr. Narud.

However, if the arbitrator named Duran is not just the same name, then he must have intervened in the protoss dispute early because Augustus changed the story line.

After all, Duran is even older than the history of this universe. He has mixed in the universe with countless identities, watching everything with his cold eyes.After the Master invaded Aiur as planned, certain developments obviously exceeded his expectations.

The Aiur protoss headed by Tassadar actually joined the dark templar, which also means that so many protoss may follow their distant relatives and break the link with Kara, becoming an uncontrollable unstable factor, which is also a stumbling block in Duran's grand plan.

It's just that, even though Duran thinks that the concealment is perfect, no matter how hard the protoss and humans think about it, they will not realize that they have been lurking in various identities before the age of their ancestors.

But Duran would never have imagined that Augustus would be able to see through his real body with just a name.A name he made up at will - there are thousands of such names in the long years that he has experienced.
