StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 406 Protoss Civil War
"He must have been deceived." Augustus had been listening to the conversation between Aurega and Zeratul, and their words to the heart were completely unaffected by distance and battle.

"Someone found Orega and took advantage of his hatred of the El protoss."

"You suspect that man is Arbiter Duran?" Kerrigan wasn't able to bring in her own C-10 canister rifle, but she's equally deadly with an electromagnetic pistol and a knife.

"Ninety-nine are inseparable." Augustus said while paying attention to the battle in the court, but in less than half a minute, two more members of the Supreme Council were murdered.

All sides are templars and dark templars fighting each other. They are as dexterous as felines when fighting, and their fighting skills like top swordsmen are unparalleled.

Augustus noticed that the passages and gates leading to the outside world of the Court of Arbitrators had already been closed, and even the jumping platform had stopped operating, which made it impossible for the parliamentary guards guarding the outside world to come as quickly as possible. support.

Without the support of insiders, it is almost impossible for Orega to paralyze the internal defense system of the Arbitrator's Court while attacking.

"Orega still has a boss? From what you're saying, it's that protoss arbitrator named Duran who is behind the scenes." Renault said: "This makes sense, why did Orega just happen to Appear when the negotiation is about to be concluded."

"It doesn't look like Orega is a fool."

"If Orega is not an idiot, then the person who lied to him is too clever." Augustus looked in the direction where Tassadar was leaving, and saw that the other party was sweeping the incoming Dark Templar in a disdainful gesture. .Under his call, the parliamentary guards and templars in the court formed a front line. Orega's dark templars succeeded in a surprise attack, but they did not have an advantage in numbers.

Most of the dark templars are the strongest among their young generation, but they are still not the opponents of Tassadar who comprehended Kara and the power of the void at the same time. Phoenix and other consuls and executives also did not forget the skills of fighting , they were the outstanding figures in the star-studded era of the Protoss Empire.

It now appears that it is only a matter of time before Tassadar repels the invading Dark Templar, and it is unclear how many of the Arbiters will survive before then.

"You forced me." Once again, Orega's spiritual roar that detonated the audience attracted Augustus's attention, and he became more and more hysterical and crazy.

"Now, I'm starting to regret why I didn't do it sooner, it was such a pleasure to feel the pain of the templar dying. Hear that? They're screaming, wailing for the sins their ancestors committed. Only Holy With the disappearance of all the temple warriors, this world will have fewer disputes and avoid disasters."

"You have fallen so far! Killing will only bring eternal sorrow and pain, and revenge will only bring more revenge." Hearing this, Zeratul became furious again.

"It's your style to repay evil with kindness, Zeratul, I'm not you." Orega said, "If you don't scare the Templars, they will think that the Dark Templars are weak and deceitful!"

"Let the rulers of Aiur taste what it feels like to be hunted and driven out in their homeland, and let them experience the pain that the dark templar once felt!"

"You have broken your previous oath." Zeratul stretched out his right hand, and ignited the carefully forged master-level curved light war blade, and the green psionic blade ignited instantly.

"I do everything for Sacoolas." Orega looked up at the sky.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Zeratul flashed in front of Orega in the moving black mist, and the latter greeted him with a sneer, and a master-level confrontation ensued.

"There must be a settlement between them." Augustus looked at Artanis and pointed to a corridor in the arbitrator's court.

"Executive officer, we should get in touch with the outside world as soon as possible. If necessary, we can directly blast the entrance door."

"This is in the area controlled by the Supreme Council, and I cannot command the council guards there." Artanis replied: "If the templars and fleets from Antioch to the junction of Koshaka Province are summoned, it will be inevitable. It will raise tensions between us and Parliament, which will lead to civil war."

"Then the question is, where is the guard outside after such a big commotion?" Renault asked.

"." Artanis said after a moment of silence: "I can't feel the thoughts of the members of the nearby Supreme Council Guards in Kara—except for the arbitrator, any behavior that wants to hide one's thoughts in Kara will be considered a conspiracy .”

"I suspect that they have been transferred from here, and the only ones who can order the guards of the parliament have always been the arbitrators with high status." He said: "I have sent a distress signal to the templar troops who are loyal to the parliament around, and they must I got the news long before that, and I'm on my way."

"Since this is the case, we can only hope that Tassadar will get rid of the dark templar here." When Augustus was speaking, a Fist of Orega dark templar wearing a long veil Stepping out of the curtain of shadows came toward them.

This is an extremely powerful dark templar of the Zratei tribe. His dark purple robe, brown fur cape and shoulder armor are all inlaid with the skull and sharp teeth of the Hydralisk. The silent hunter.The weapon it uses is a warblade with a double-headed scythe that rotates like a windmill when the wrist is turned.

"In the name of Orega, we shall be darkness."

Raynor raised his Colt revolver and fired several shots at the Dark Templar, but the Dark Templar was moving at the speed of thought, even dodging the bullets aimed at him.

The cursing Raynor threw an electromagnetic grenade at the dark templar who was advancing at an incredible speed, but the opponent swung the warblade with a sharp blow and split one of them in two.Every Dark Templar is a fearsome warrior, capable of approaching and destroying entire human armies without making a sound.

"Oh, damn it."

Selendis, Artanis's subordinate, ignited her psychic blade to meet her. Her armor was much more gorgeous than the ordinary templar of the Zealot Order.Lined with shining gold-blue armor, the battle robe is like a floor-length skirt like a moving night, studded with indigo crystals and gemstones, the helmet and the headgear on the nerve bundle and the hanging crystal pendant collide with each other Make a clear and pleasant sound.

The costumes of protoss women are closely related to their aesthetics. As a rare high-ranking woman in the templar class, Selendis's costumes can undoubtedly demonstrate her status.

Selendis's well-defined, slender and elegant body is also a symbol of beauty in the protoss. She is calm and calm, possessing both the strength of a warrior and the gentleness and tolerance of a woman.

"Templar, you can't face the unpredictable darkness." The dark templar let out a cold laugh: "The void is calling, and the scroll of prophecy has been revealed. Only the fist of Aurega can save the world .”

"The First Son of God fears no enemy." Selendis' psychic blade intertwined with that of the Dark Templar, swaying blue and green sword lights.Her strength is more than a bit better than the opponent's, but she is not as sensitive as him.

"We are the saviors," said the dark templar.

"You're butchers." Selendis knocked him back with a well-rounded swing.

In an instant, the other three Fist of Orega appeared from the shadows, and Artanis' eyes froze and he urged the psionic blade to run towards them.

A dark templar came straight to Augustus, and came in front of him within a few flashes, and a bloody smell rushed over his face.

"Go away." For an instant, Kerrigan's green pupils burst into a golden gleam, and the terrifying psionic energy captured the dark templar's figure out of thin air, immobilizing him.The dark templar exclaimed in disbelief, unable to believe that weak humans have such powerful power.

Augustus then kept firing at the immobilized Dark Templar's pistol, and the bullets hit the psionic shield that emerged from the other side.

With Kerrigan's angry shout, the psionic energy around her continued to emit flashing blue arcs, and the long fiery red hair also fluttered due to the spiritual power and electric ions attached to it, the dark saint There was even blood dripping from the temple warrior's eyes.

Kerrigan then used her Psychic Brake ability to lift the Dark Templar out of thin air and place him below the Arbiter's Court, a display of psychic power that made Augustus dizzy.

"When I first saw you, you weren't that powerful, Sarah." Augustus shook the pistol in his hand, knowing that he was facing the dark temple alone without the protection of others. A samurai must be dead, which only strengthened his idea of ​​building a guard of psykers and ghostly apparitions.

"The Protoss has taught me a lot, especially when I see you in danger," Kerrigan used psionic power to push back another Dark Templar as he turned his head.

"For your sake, the protoss gave me a Kaidarin mind crystal pendant for increasing spiritual power, which made me feel endless power."

As the most powerful psychic among humans, Kerrigan's power has surpassed the limit of the highest PSI level of 10. Even the high-ranking templars are amazed that a race with such a short lifespan and so low talent To be able to show such a powerful force.

Kerrigan already has supernatural powers. She can reach people's hearts just by looking at them, and arouse the anger in her heart to detonate the heads of human beings.

Except for Kerrigan, even ordinary human psykers will never be opponents when facing protoss.

"Augustus, stand behind me, no one can hurt you." Artanis had already cut off the wrist of a dark templar with a psionic blade at this time, causing him to withdraw into the shadows with a howl .

"Don't worry, Artanis, I'm fine, as safe as staying in a crib." Augustus said and looked in the direction of Zeratul and Orrega, he could hardly see clearly The silhouettes of these two dark templars clashing, they are like colliding green lightning and ghostly phantoms.

"Orega, do you think you can get away with it?" Zeratul said while attacking.

"I will establish my own law, and I will be like a king in it." Orega handled Zeratul's attack with ease.

"You are stronger than ever, Brother Zeratul, but I am not what I used to be."

"You pray to the darkness for strength." Zeratul could hardly believe that Orrega had been a devout apprentice centuries ago.

"Then what's the price?" he exclaimed.

"What have you paid to the devil."

"I am the devil." Orega let out a sinister laugh, and withdrew from the confrontation with Zeratul.

"Go back to your people, Orega." Zeratul still did not abandon Orega: "Think about your teacher."

"I never left." Orega roared: "You don't understand anything, if you see what I see, you will understand that what I do is for the Nerazim."

Following Orega's scream, which contained a roar of the soul, the dark templars withdrew from between the council guards and the templars, and retreated into the shadows.The Templars withdrew their blades and gathered together to deal with the possible ensuing attacks.

Gradually, even Orega's figure slowly dissipated. Zeratul wanted to catch him, but he only touched a phantom.The abilities that Orega has come from the forbidden powers that the dark templars are forbidden to learn, which also makes him more powerful and evil.

Zeratul was only distressed that his former brother had fallen so deeply.

"The Templars want peace? That's just a wish," Orega said before leaving.

"Aiur, the flames of war will finally be rekindled and the battle flag raised."

"I'm afraid something bad will happen." Reynolds said to Augustus: "The people of Orega are killing people, and the people who die are all the people of the arbitrator."

"It's all over."

When Augustus looked towards the seats of the members of the Supreme Council, he saw that all the arbitrators were dead except Aldarus and another younger arbitrator.

Tassadar was helping an injured arbitrator, while Aldaris vented his anger unabashedly: "Where are the guards guarding the council? The ancestors of the Yala tribe are all because of your stupidity. And shame!"

"There is still a chance of redemption. If the arbitrators of the Supreme Council can rationally view the massacre, they will not blame the teacher." Artanis said.

"Who can prove that Aurega was not brought in by Zeratul?" Kaldaris was holding the robe of a dark templar tightly in his hand.

"...Gods!" Selendis walked towards Artanis: "Just now, the army of the Supreme Council crossed Koshaka and launched an attack on our Fortress of Adun in Revan."

"What, if the leaders of the Supreme Council are here, who issued this order?" Artanis was shocked.

"Anyway, once the war starts, it will never stop," Augustus said with a sigh.

"Whenever I'm going back home for the holidays, something bad happens." Raynor put the pistol back in the holster on his vest.

"Good things never come." Augustus shrugged, and also received a message from the Revolutionary Army Command.

"The Supreme Council is at war."
