StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 680 I'm Still Thinking About Restoring Ayer!
The fleet originally planned to stay at the Chiron III colony for four days, but it was later extended to one week in order to further complete the work of repairing, replenishing and replenishing the ship.

During this period, thousands of shipyard workers such as shipbuilders, cutters, and welders were mobilized here from the nearest Sigma shipyard to repair damage in the Atriaes system and were towed by barges to Chiron III orbit. Imperial battleship on space station.

And the technical soldiers in the Sigma Star Fleet under General Harris must also work overtime to repair and maintain engines, electrical and naval gun weapon systems.At the same time, the captain and ship officers had to apply for manpower from the friendly Mobius fleet to replace equipment and accessories damaged in the battle, and to fill the huge gaps in the armor that were torn apart by the Tadarim battleship. They were too busy .

Most of the sailors in other positions were allowed to take vacations, and they were even allowed to drink a few glasses of local specialty tequila in colonial taverns.But after the only stock in the tavern was quickly snapped up, the military police wearing armbands had to use a high-energy gas storage tank to transport the entire truckload of drunks the next morning, cooling it with liquid nitrogen from the reactor. The cold water generated by the tower cools them down.

As for the soldiers of the Mobius Legion who had to stay on duty on the battleship, they were not so lucky. At most, they played poker and billiards during the rest time, because they were late and did not have a battle in the Atreus galaxy. What kind of strength is exerted.

Apart from courting the local young girls, the imperial soldiers on vacation certainly had other things to do.Officers like hunting activities. They either hunt blue-crowned deer and wild buffalo in the wilderness of Chiron III colony, or participate in beach volleyball, squash and football games with soldiers. For this reason, the Imperial Navy and Marine Corps have specially formed their own In the squash club, compete with the locals.

Most people choose to spend time in bars or cafes, or wander around in the colony, and go swimming near the nearby beach. In this rare time of leisure and relaxation, tension and depression are well released. , effectively restoring morale.

Of course, due to the large number of soldiers who descended to the Chiron III colony, it is inevitable that there will be violations of discipline in such a base.After all, they are human beings, not machines or resocialized soldiers.

Most minor violations of discipline are not intentional, but soldiers who make mistakes must still be punished by the captain of the battleship they belong to. In principle, this is to prevent them from accumulating small mistakes into big mistakes. Killed his comrades in battle.

But in general, the strict military discipline still made the behavior of these soldiers be restrained accordingly, and no major disturbances occurred.

As for Augustus, he only stayed on the Chiron III for one night, and at night he called Raynor and Zeratul to take a small boat to the sea for night fishing.They are not interested in fishing, but talk about the mysteries of the universe and the simple philosophies hidden in nature.

In the second half of the night, Augustus, who had nothing to gain, felt very relaxed for the first time in these days, and even fell asleep in the lazy long waves and the quiet sea breeze on the sea.

Interestingly speaking, Reynolds was very lucky that day, and actually caught a giant Eilikfish (Eilikfish) over ten feet long.The mighty sea troll almost dragged the ship away, but Zeratul jumped out of the boat and took his knife down, killing it directly.

Later, as soon as Renault returned to the fleet, he asked everyone he met how you knew I had caught a big fish.

In short, the pleasant time passed quickly. In the last few days, the sailors who were on vacation were recalled to the fleet one after another, returning to normal life and order, and sighed inevitably.Compared with a leisurely life, the management on the battleship is much stricter.

When Augustus confirmed that his fleet was ready for battle again, the colony of Chiron III, which was bustling with the arrival of soldiers, once again restored its former tranquility.

But Augustus still did not give the order to set sail, but only ordered the fleet to continue to stand by.

The imperial battleships that were sucked into the galaxy vortex by the Tadarim mothership in the Atreis galaxy before never came back, as if they had never existed, they all disappeared completely.

Disappeared.

No more news.

Augustus waited until the return of these warships, but never heard of them.In the end, he could only grievely accept the fact that they might never come back, and the odds of surviving being sucked into a black hole were slim.

Later, Augustus had to tell himself that the matter at hand would not allow him to delay too long.So he ordered the establishment of an observatory in the Atriaes galaxy, and arranged for a group of scientists and soldiers to stay behind.

Scientists told Augustus that since the passage of time in the black hole will be very slow, when these warships return to space again, they may find that 1000 years have passed, but they only knew it for a short time. several days.

In view of the lack of hope, Augustus could only choose to put the matter aside, but still ordered the remaining personnel of the Atriaes Observatory to report to Korha regularly.The crew members on the missing battleship will temporarily notify their families of their death and provide them with pensions.These more than 4 missing imperial soldiers are [-] families, which is really sad.

Finally, Augustus had to devote himself to the expedition to Urna, the fabled hometown of the Naganagas.

In the next few days, Augustus finally waited for Admiral Tyco Eiche's East and West Gemar sector fleet.At this time, Augustus, who had assembled three fleets, already had more than 50 battlecruisers in his hands, including more than [-] Gorgons.

This fleet is already equivalent to 1/5 of the apparent naval power of the Tyrann Empire. Considering that the empire must mobilize heavy troops to guard against the Tadarin protoss, dominator swarm, and primitive zerg near the border, this is already enough for Augustus to gather one of the largest fleets.

Now, rows of battlecruisers with flashing lights are mooring majestically around Chiron III's orbital space station, and have been adjusted to the best condition for another voyage.Below the fleet, the emerald green planet was shining with a charming brilliance, as if gilded by the light of the stars.

Augustus and Raynor were standing on the bridge deck of the White Star waiting for something, and the radio monitors on the deck were closely watching all possible communication channels.

"It's time for Artanis to come too." Renault looked up from time to time to confirm the time on the main screen of the bridge.

"If he is late, he must be delayed by some important business," said Augustus.

"A warp signal has been detected." Two or three communication soldiers on the bridge reported loudly at the same time: "It's the Dharam Protoss Fleet."

The multi-faceted control panel in front of the star map console lights up at the same time, and the three-dimensional imaging maps of multiple Durham protoss warships appear on the holographic radar scanning map.

This golden-blue Protoss fleet is huge. There are four motherships alone. The number of aircraft carriers and storm battleships exceeds [-]. There are countless frigates and small and medium-sized spaceships attached to them.

"It's the Spear of Adun, the treasure of the Protoss Empire," Renault said.

In this fleet, the incomparably magnificent and majestic gorgeous hull of the Ark-class battleship Spear of Adun is even more eye-catching—her hull tens of miles long is much larger than all known warships of the protoss and humans There are many, and the huge space inside it is even rich enough to take off and land an aircraft carrier.

As the flagship of this vast fleet, the Spear of Adun is equivalent to a fleet in itself.

For such a huge ark ship, the Protoss Empire in the Golden Age once built three ships, and it was not because they could only build three ships, but because the Supreme Protector thought they only needed three ships.And even though these ark ships were built quite a long time ago, the technology they use is still very advanced in the eyes of today's protoss.

The Tyrann Empire couldn't do anything about it, their ancestors were never rich.

Earthlings would hide even if they fought a war, for fear that the Earth's technology would be learned by the Tyranids.I'm afraid this is also the strategy of the earthlings to control their huge colonies, otherwise the continuous rebels will be enough for them.

"Emperor Augustus Mengsk, Marshal James Reynolds." The protoss connects to the human communication system through psychic energy, and can simulate human communication signals: "We came to this galaxy as promised. Durham arrived as promised ,as always."

It was Artanis who was speaking at this moment, the high-level executive of the Protoss of Dharam, and a disciple of Archbishop Tassadar.Behind him stood two female executives, Selendis and Taris.

Every time he cooperates with the Tyrannian Empire, Tassadar will always send his closed disciple Artanis, which is not only to express his importance to the human allies, but also to sharpen this slightly young executive.

At the same time, with the solid friendship established by fighting side by side, in the long-term future, Artanis, as his successor, will surely enable Durham and the humans of the Tyrann Empire to live in harmony.

Under the leadership of Augustus Mengsk, the Tyranid Empire is rising at an alarming rate. The potential and resilience of this race will eventually make them a powerful force to be reckoned with, not just a passing fad.

As a templar, Tassadar is always ready to fight a war to defend the Wingling Empire and his people, but no one yearns for peace more than him.In the previous wars, the people of the Protoss had almost withered and needed time to recuperate, but their enemies did not give them this opportunity.

The broad-minded Tassadar believes that what the Protoss needs now is peace not war, friends not enemies.To do this, they must cast aside the arrogance and prejudice of the past.

"It's nice to see you, buddy, where's the Tassadar?" Renault looked at Artanis, Serandis and Taris who were standing beside him, thinking that from a human point of view, this buddy had It's pretty chic.

It seems that Protoss never talks about love, nor is he bothered by the love of his children, as if it would be strange to put the word love on them.But how to put it, the protoss also have parents.

"My mentor Tassadar really has no free time. He must command the golden fleet and preside over the battle to recover Aiur." Artanis replied.

"Tassadar and you are not in Sacoolas, so who is in charge of the Dharam protoss now." Renault asked casually.

In fact, the Tyranid Empire had already heard the rumors that it was impossible for such a huge fleet not to make any noise, but they had not received the news from Tassadar confirming that he would personally take command.

But thinking about it, Tassadar, who was born as an executive officer, would never entrust such an important battle to others.Tassadar thought in his heart that this expedition would inevitably face all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and if something happened, he would take full responsibility and hand over the position of archbishop to others.If not, the clansmen would never give up on recovering Aiur.

Now recovering Ayer is what the people want, and the arrow is on the string, so it has to be done.

How wise Tassadar is, even though he couldn't guess that there would be problems with Kara, he still keenly perceives that the current Al is full of crises and hides all kinds of weirdness.

However, the Golden Fleet set off anyway.

Tassadar couldn't find a better reason to persuade his people to give up the expedition to Aiur for the time being—preparation for three years and three years, when will it be the end, and the protoss can't wait to wash away their shame and regain their strength. The glorious glory of this race.

The social system of the El Protoss is highly dependent on the existence of a unique spiritual network, which is a sea of ​​souls accumulated by countless emotional fluctuations. It is extremely vast and connects all the protoss.

When there is a slight emotional fluctuation in Kara, it will be noticed by other protoss. When a few small streams will converge into ripples, and the ripples will converge into huge waves, the voices of thousands of protoss must not be ignored.

In this regard, Augustus, who knew the truth, had nothing to do. The situation of Zeratul proved that even the prophecy could not prevent the Dalam Protoss from recovering Aiur, and he would never jump out and say that there is something wrong with our Kara , will be polluted by Amon.

Augustus has no way to prove it.

It is not Augustus's style to act as a prophet and pretend to be a ghost. He has always been used to ensuring that everything is under his own control through the control of the plot and detailed planning, instead of pinning his hopes on whether others will believe him.

In the end, I endured everything silently by myself.

The current Dalam Protoss is terribly paranoid and fanatical, and they are still thinking about the recovery of Al at this time!
"The free matriarch Razagal has the sole discretion, and our people are all convinced by her kindness and tolerance." Artanis said.

Speaking of recovering the fallen mother planet Aiur, these protoss have been preparing for seven or eight years, even for the protoss, this is not too late.

Augustus listened for a while, and said, "I never thought that Tassadar would let you bring so many warships here. It seems that Urna is really important to you."

"Yes, Urna, the hometown of Xel'Naga, is of great significance to us. Going back to the history of the Protoss, there are too many mysteries about the Creator that have not been solved." Artanis said: "You are so selfless And generous, willing to share such important news with us."

In the eyes of the protoss, Augustus is undoubtedly the upper limit of human moral standards-although this is mainly because the protoss will inevitably wear a thick filter when looking at Augustus after the Battle of Aiur.

"The existence of Urna has surpassed all our previous cognition, and I still doubt that the number of warships carried by the fleet is not enough to meet the next challenge." Artanis replied sincerely.

Do you want to listen to what you're saying - Augustus really believed that, even including the Spear of Adun, it's probably only a small part of the Golden Fleet, but it's still huge.

Augustus had nothing to say.

And the next moment, a larger fleet jump signal appeared. The streamlined hull color scheme of pure white armor and bright orange lights undoubtedly came from the battleship of the Purifier Protoss.

"The Purifier." Selendis beside Artanis couldn't help but said, "Why are they here?"
