StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 415
"What happened?" Tychus Finley, who was bragging to Faraday, the captain of the marshal's guard, noticed the stern look on Augustus's face.

"The Memories of Nessin is under attack." Augustus had already listed all the troops that could be mobilized in his mind, and it was absolutely impossible for him to sit and watch an ark ship fall into Duran's hands.

"Pryor's Assault Division scout team encountered the protoss arbitrator Duran we saw at the peace conference earlier, and the monster killed them in milliseconds."

It is unimaginable that one of the only three ark ships in the world will become a hotbed for cultivating hybrid monsters, and even become the dark flagship used by the fallen Sarnaga Amon to destroy the world.

"Duran, that old man who is about to fall three times after taking two steps? I can't believe it. I doubt that Ma Sara's five-year-old child can knock him down." Lei Nuo recalled the trembling walk and fear of him. The protoss arbitrator who fell to the ground in the next second.

"He's well disguised," said Augustus, "but he can't escape my eyes."

At this time, there was another violent roar from the city of Alado in the distance, and multiple strands of black smoke spread over the city.Many APOD-33 transport ships of the Revolutionary Army are circling and landing in the city, which seem to be small black spots from a distance.

Augustus looked at Kerrigan: "I have already started to deploy reinforcements to the Alado area, sending as many capital ships as possible."

"Where are the protoss?"

"A large number of warp signals have appeared in many places in the Alado area. The protoss reinforcements are coming at the fastest speed, and their vanguard may have entered the memory of Nessin." Kerrigan replied.

"What I'm most worried about is whether it's too late." Augustus looked at the city of Alado billowing in smoke in the distance, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.If Duran had planned to capture the Memories of Nessin long before the protoss civil war broke out, the battle inside the Ark may have been going on for many days.

In the stasis chamber inside each ark ship are dormant several fanatic legions from the golden age of the protoss empire. They are the most loyal, brave and powerful templars of that era. Guarding the ark should not be a problem. .

But if the protoss warriors among them are not awakened in the normal way, then they may not be able to wake up and be slaughtered in their deep sleep.

At this moment, the rising sun rose higher and higher, gradually reaching an unattainable height.Bright daylight fell over the land, and the whole dead, dying world seemed to be breathing its last breath.

In most latitudes of Ayr, the sunshine time is very long, and the sufficient light is drying up the puddles in the swamp little by little, and the putrid smell from the corpses is getting stronger.

The sky is very blue, deep blue, like a calm sea, and the city of Alado is a reflection reflected in the water.The City of Gold is an apt name, both apt and evocative, because every brick and every tile of its construction really seems to be made of gold.

The views of Ayr are always magnificent, with pristine skies and stunning fields being one of the few fond memories Revolutionary soldiers have of this planet.

But at this moment, this beautiful scenery could not bring any comfort to Augustus at all.Once Duran's minions seized control of the Memories of Nessin and launched into the air, no warship could ever catch up to her.

It was a fully self-sufficient super ark that could wage a war on its own.If Augustus had had such an ark, he could have carried out the last step of the uprising, the storming of Tarsonis.

"Marshal Augustus, please immediately order all the soldiers of the Human Revolutionary Army to evacuate the city of Alado." At this time, Karais, the phase technician of the Protoss Empire who had been following the actions of the Revolutionary Army, hurried to Augustus , and at the same time stretched out his right arm to turn on the crystal holographic projection device on the forearm.

"The Memories of Nassin is about to fall. In order to prevent the ark of the Protoss Empire from falling into the hands of the enemy, Lord Olanna, the supreme protector of the Memories of Nassin, decided to detonate the ark matrix and die with the enemy."

Augustus stared into Karax's eyes for less than a second, and immediately issued an order to retreat in the command channel.This completely contradicted the previous order, but it was still resolutely implemented by the frontline commanders.

"Just now, Lord Olanna sent us a last message through Kara and communication equipment." Kerax showed Augustus the holographic image on his right arm.

A protoss protector in ornate golden armor and a brocade scarf fluttering appeared on the screen. She was almost identical to her sister, Rohana, the supreme protector of the Spear of Adun.

Behind the supreme protector of the protoss is a bloody battlefield, surrounded by a number of templars in golden armor, surrounded by many dark templars holding curved light blades , like a shadow hovering around.

These Dark Templars are dressed in such a way as Zeratul's warriors that it is difficult to tell if they are members of the Fist of Aurega or not.

"I am Olanna, the Supreme Protector - I woke up from the sobs in Kala, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the sharp blade of the Betrayer." Olanna said:
"There are very few awakened warriors, and the templars have to fight and retreat."

"We are outnumbered."

"The bridge and the sun core have fallen into the hands of the enemy, and the memory of Nessin is about to lift off. I have no choice but to detonate the matrix circuit of the ark. If the ark does not belong to the protoss, then she cannot belong to anyone."

"Rohana and Shantila have awakened, they are the last hope." She finally said: "We will return to Kara, and death is the fate of all warriors."

"Eldest son, live forever."

As the video stopped abruptly, the brief silence made the hairs of Augustus and others stand on end.

A few minutes later, Augustus suddenly heard a rumbling roar, and a shining golden ark was rising from the ruins of Aladdor's towering city, like a rising dragon.

In a short period of time, it has ascended to a height of tens of thousands of feet, but most of the body of the ark still remains underground.

For a moment, Augustus almost thought that the Memories of Nessin would fly into the sky, but the next moment the explosion from its center almost split the entire ark in two, caused by the flash explosion of solar fragments. The flames it brought lit up the sky in an instant.

Amid the earth-shattering roar, the entire city of Alado seemed to jump.The flash of light produced by the explosion was a thousand times that of the sun in an instant, and the high towers in the city center melted like candles.

The sudden hurricane swept across the land, and those tree trunks, bushes and stones that were still standing on the ground were blown and rolled around.Even protected by the electroplating of his power armor helmet, Augustus couldn't look directly at the flash.

Augustus heard the shouts in the communication channel. Since the main force did not go deep into the city of Alado, the timely evacuation and the protection of the bunker did not cause many casualties to the revolutionary army, and the briefly interrupted communication was quickly restored. normal.

When the light dissipated, Augustus noticed that almost all the towers in the city of Alador had collapsed, and only a crumbling crystal tower still stood.

The bow of Nessin's Memories was lying across the center of the ruins of the city, and blue spiritual energy flames were burning on it, making violent explosions from time to time.The ark's structural stability was unparalleled, which was why she didn't completely disintegrate.

"I'm afraid this old ship is hopeless. We have to quickly take back all the broken copper and iron, and maybe sell it for a high price." Since coming to Ayr, Tychus has been used to big explosions, And leisurely smoking.

"We must hurry up to save people, there may still be living people inside." Lei Nuo said.

"Send a search and rescue force to rescue as many people and important ark equipment as possible." Augustus instructed Pryor's assault division to form a search and rescue force on the command channel: "Do your best, this ark is still very serious Danger."

In the distance, Augustus could see the belated protoss ship.The confrontation with the Supreme Council fleet made Tassadar miss the best time to rescue the Memories of Nessin, but their arrival also forced the Dark Templar inside to retreat quickly.

At this moment, Augustus just wanted to know whether Duran was in the memory of Nexin.

Two days later.

The explosion caused by the Memories of Nessin had subsided for a long time, but when darkness fell, the entire city of Alador was shrouded in bright flashes.

The part of the Ark's hull located in the center of Alado city was brightly illuminated, and beside it were lights connected by countless cables and gas engines, filled with the sound of laser drilling machines and laser cutting machines.

The plastic walls and crystal inlays of the entire ark ship have been broken, leaving only a metal frame composed of golden domes, beams, sampans, etc., which looks like a whale skeleton.

Augustus, Raynor, and Tassadar, Artanis, and Phoenix are standing below the twisted bridge deck of Memories of Nessin, watching as several Protoss Kalai engineers work with Swann's Engineering Corps team to dismantle the Ark console.

The main framework of Nessin's Memories is still very complete. Even if it takes a lot of resources and time, the Ark can be repaired with the strength of the Protoss Empire in its golden age.However, the Aiur protoss is now in decline, and the attack of the Jormungandr swarm has also made it difficult for the protoss, making it impossible for them to rebuild it.

Now we can only preserve the wreckage of Nessin's memory as much as possible, relying on the last legacy of this ark, we can also build a large-scale fleet.

"The supreme protector, Olanna, has returned to Al, and the whole Kara can hear the sobbing of Rohana and Shantira." Tassadar said with great sadness: "After all, we are one step too late."

"Fortunately, many stasis chambers have escaped the disaster, and the ancient heroes in them have awakened. The phase technicians are trying to discover and repair the military industrial array, space furnace and starry forge of Memories of Nessin, thinking that Our warriors on the front lines provide weapons and shields." Artanis looked through a keel of Nessin's Memories shrouded in light, and saw several ships passing by carrying the legacy of Nessin's Memories.

A number of stargates are standing tall, connecting Antioch, Koshaka Province, the Temple of the Protector, and the Xel'Naga Portal. Some ark decks comparable to battlecruisers are directly transported to their destinations through the teleportation matrix. land.

The ground beneath their feet looked dilapidated, littered with dry twigs, weeds, and shattered crystals.The deep pit created by Memory of Nessin's fall was full of dirty rainwater, and the copper-colored moss and new grass plants gradually revealed a little bit of green.

".This is already the best result. I can't even imagine what will happen if this ark falls into the hands of Duran and Orega." Augustus shook his head: "They will kill Zagura back. Si, seize the dominion of Matriarch Razagal."

"The dark templar will never stop hunting Orega until the crime is done." Zeratul said: "But who is that arbitrator named Duran? He is in our dispute with the Supreme Council played a very important role in this, and in the end, neither of us knew anything about this person."

"Is he the voice of Luria?"

"The mastermind behind the scenes," said Augustus, "is a pair of invisible hands that are moving our destiny."

"How did you learn Zeratul's tune?" Renault put his hand on his forehead.

"That's what the prophecy refers to." Zeratul agreed with Augustus's words: "If Duran and Orrega are connected with Luria's hybrid creation, then they must be planning to destroy the protoss and the gods. The evil conspiracy of mankind."

"...my enemies are already enough, it's okay to have a few more." Augustus looked at Tassadar.

"Has the Jormungandr swarm not stopped attacking yet?"

"They are becoming more and more manic and powerful. It seems that the super psionic cyclone that appeared on the body of the master is still subtly affecting the brain worms who are still alive." Tassadar replied: "Continue to fight with the Zerg The war of attrition will only weaken our warriors, and we must evacuate Aiur and regroup."

"It's time for us to return to the Koprulu sector." Augustus also said.

"Huh? The phasers said that they have found the core of the sun in the Memories of Nessin. Adun bless us. The hot miniature star did not leave the hull of the ark, otherwise it would be enough to erode through Ayr's crust." Tassa Dahl got a report from his engineers at this time.

"Come on, let's see the 'sun'." He said.

"Swann has news for you." Kerrigan walked over at this moment.

"He said he wanted to show you a big baby."

"Our news is always a bit late." Augustus shrugged: "It's a pity that apart from the Protoss and Xel'Naga spaceships, our warships don't use these things at all."

"Actually, Augustus, we don't need this miniature star for our warships today." Artanis said:

"The Ark ship uses ancient technology. The solar core that powers the entire Ark needs to use solar debris as fuel, and the First Son of God has not used this energy source for dozens of centuries."
