StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 687 I Will Never Betray

The space here is so vast and huge that the ceiling seems to be so far away from the sky. It is dotted with artificial light sources that look like the sun and stars, covering the pyramid-shaped temple complex in the distance like towering mountains. Awesome halo.

Many huge obelisks, giant columns (Huge Column), sarcophagus (sarcophagus), megaliths simulating star system systems and even ancient walls that occupy most of the sky are floating in the air, as if mountains rise from the ground and hang upside down above the clouds.

In the Guiyi Temple in Urna, every inch of land and every landscape comes from the ingenious man-made landscape.The temple is like a mountain range, and the dome is like a blue sky, which is incredible like a miracle.

Walking in it seems like you are in a natural landscape full of business. The black organic wall outlines the green lines that symbolize life. Every texture that resembles leaf veins and petals contains vitality, just like a piece made of flower buds. The boundless web weaved.

Its implication is self-evident, Sarnaga is the creator and the one who brought the first life.

Without waiting for a moment of rest, Augustus, Artanis, and Colorado Leon ordered to move on without stopping.Now that a large number of hybrids have been found at the entrance, I am afraid that Amon's minions have already arrived first.

Although this place is outrageously large, the only road in front of Augustus now seems to be this wide avenue that twists and turns at the end and hides between the temples.There, already looming was the stark triangular dome of the first Hall of Revelation.

On the side of the road stands a cliff-like high wall, a copper-blue lighthouse and a huge column wall. Groups of columns carved with golden ratio spirals, swirls and geometric lines are displayed on both sides.

This is just the inside of a temple, but Augustus found that he seemed to be climbing up the winding road between the mountains. Every time he walked a section of the road, he could see a bottomless and steep cliff sealed off the way forward.The inner walls of these cliffs are carved with amazing giant consoles, so large that only giants can use them.

If you want to move on, you can only find other roads, sometimes it is a gate hidden in the wall, sometimes it is a suspended bridge made of geometric cylinder rocks.This process is more similar to the decryption in the maze. If Zeratul and Artanis hadn't given the guidance, humans might not even be able to find their way into it for a while.

But other than that, in the first half of the journey, the protoss and the human army cooperated closely, the division of labor was orderly, and the speed of progress was getting faster and faster.

Augustus only encountered too many surprise attacks from small and medium-sized mixed forces, but these attacks were resolved and repelled in time, but the speed of advancement was still delayed a lot.

The Empire, the Purifiers, and Durham have all dispatched the most elite troops, and even the human medical soldiers are all veterans of many battles, having experienced famous battles such as Al, Char, and Tarsonis.Although these hybrids in front of them are also very tricky, they are not enough to let them crash here.

At this moment, Augustus was once again blocked by a majestic high wall that occupied the entire horizon, and it seemed that only a tightly closed giant door could pass through.The giant gate was extremely large and extremely high, with interlocking triangles, hexagons, and circles carefully engraved on it.

In front of the door are two huge Mitsubishi-like pillars, one is buzzing with a bright blue light, and the other is much dimmer.There is a majestic and majestic giant stone statue farther from the gate. The light in the stone statue flickers from time to time, which is quite strange. A team of Durham Templars is going to check it out.

"Do it, put on the explosives." Renault pointed to the door and said with ease: "Use Lars G7 cluster explosives."

"Wait a minute, the explosives you carry won't have much effect on this door." Corola Leon said, "Use a solar light cannon."

Just as Augustus was about to make a noise to stop the two blasters, the giant stone statue in the distance suddenly made a loud noise and stood up abruptly under the traction of powerful energy, followed by a terrifying shock wave. Open, shaking the earth.

"What's that?" Tychus yelled. "A moving stone statue!"

"It's a Xel'Naga structure. Xel'Naga technology gave these organic rocks 'life'." Artanis: "Be careful, it seems to have entered a defensive posture!"

As soon as the words fell, the Xel'Naga boulder called the structure launched an attack on the surrounding protoss templars, and two terrifying energy rays shot out from the eyes filled with green flames, tearing apart Cracks scorched the ground beneath their feet.

"Pure form, pure essence, show your strength!"

"This structure should be the gatekeeper." Augustus said in a deep voice, "I am afraid that the way to open this gate lies in it. Since Xel'Naga wants us to show our strength, then we will do as he wishes. "

"Soldiers, kill it!"

The structure is very large, but it is also a more obvious target.Soon, all kinds of long-range firepower from humans and protoss concentrated on it. Cannonballs, phase weapons, and solar-charged weapons were all bright trails in the sky, which only caused his body to shatter and disintegrate, and he retreated again and again.

Augustus was standing less than a thousand yards away from the structure, and the muzzles of hundreds of Goliath robots and Royal Marauders were constantly flashing, followed by continuous explosions, and the scene was very spectacular.

He could notice that the construction material of this structure was very hard, even a weapon strong enough to tear heavy armor could only leave a not deep or shallow scar on its surface.

If the structure can be brought back for research, it should be able to obtain a lot of technology from it, which will help the development of materials and engineering in the Tyrannian Empire.If you want to get the help of the Purifier and Durham, you will always be overdrawn by simply consuming the debt of favor. Therefore, Augustus also wisely promised to share a part of Urnaxarnaga's inheritance in order to buy people's hearts.

But as the original discoverers and initiators of exploration, the Tyranid Empire can still get most of it.And even if it's just a doorway on a structure, it's enough for human beings to study for decades.

"Attention, the ray emitted by that thing is very destructive and can easily disintegrate our armor!" Renault said in the communication channel.

As soon as Lei Nuo's words fell, the Xel'Naga structure began to guide a powerful shock wave, and the terrifying entropy burst wiped out the protoss below it in the blink of an eye.Following this shock wave, several Xel'Naga charged crystals that seemed to be smaller structures appeared out of thin air, and once they appeared, they attacked the surrounding humans and protoss with the terrifying rays projected from their eyes.

"Since these Xel'Naga technologies are so powerful, how did they lose to the bugs back then?" Tychus' eyes widened: "Is it true that a large number is a big deal?"

"I'm afraid that's the case." Augustus nodded: "And I heard that they were sneak attacks back then."

At this time, the giant structure has shown signs of decline, and its body has more and more wounds.Considering that it was held between hundreds of elite human and protoss warriors, it was quite amazing that it could hold off for so long.

The Xel'Naga structure seems to lack intelligence, and only attacks according to the fixed procedures set by Xel'Naga countless years ago. Therefore, it is clumsy and rigid despite its powerful power, and it was caught in the loophole of the attack mode not long after.

Even so, after more than ten minutes of indiscriminate bombardment, the Naganaga structure could barely fall, turning into a messy pile of gray-black boulders.A huge quadrangular pyramid then emerged from the shattered incarnation of the structure, joining together with the dimly lit pillar in front of the gate, and the tightly closed gate opened.

Augustus asked Raynor to mark the wreckage of the structure for further recovery by the troops entering Urna, and then continued to order the troops to advance.

They continued to move forward all the way, advancing at an extremely fast speed, and soon passed through a gate guarded by structures again, and the Hall of Revelation seemed to be close at hand.

In front of the Hall of Enlightenment, there is a huge square. The ground is carved with exquisite engravings exuding green flashes. Mysterious giant obelisks and magnificent statues surround the pyramid-shaped building of the Hall of Enlightenment and many towers suspended around it. super giant suspended tower.

"The scouts reported that the corrupted Mobius Legion and Tadarin troops were found ahead, and there were a large number of them. Now our vanguard troops have engaged them."

Under a huge ancient wall, Renault and Augustus were standing facing the altar of the Hall of Revelation in the distance. Several Royal Guard marines in golden-red power armor were guarding around. Giant goliath-armed robots in amber armor stride forward.

As Renault said, there are signs of intense firefights near the Hall of Apocalypse less than a mile from here, where you can even see some defensive buildings from the Tadarin Protoss and Mobius Legion, and you can vaguely see the hybrid That huge and depraved terrifying body.

There are several siege tanks that are billowing black smoke nearby, which are left by these Mobius Legion, and the surroundings are full of corpses of Mobius Legion soldiers.The armor of these soldiers still has subtle traces left by the corruption of the void, obviously they may have entered the void before.

For these human soldiers whose consciousness had completely succumbed to the hybrid, Augustus had no choice but to order them to be killed, otherwise more soldiers who were still loyal to the Tyrannian Empire would lose their lives.

In any case, they have been labeled traitors from the moment they pulled the trigger on their own countrymen.

There are also many betrayed Mobius Legion soldiers outside the Urna Temple, and based on the number of known missing Mobius warships and elite squads, they may have at least 10,000+ people.Some of them were not originally soldiers of the Moebius Legion, but members of other imperial forces, anti-imperial organizations, or miscellaneous local armed forces.

Compared with well-trained professional soldiers, ordinary people are obviously easier to control for hybrids.

At this time, Durham High Executor Artanis and Purifier Executor Korola Leon were leading troops to engage these enemies, while Augustus' Tyranid Empire provided fire support from the flank.

After all, Augustus is not a protoss hero who can stop a hundred with one, and now he can't go to charge by himself anymore.

"It seems that Amon's minions came earlier than us, but how did they get past those structures?" Raynor said, looking at Augustus.

"Maybe these bastards took a shortcut." Tychus pointed at the top of his head. "Maybe they found another way to get in."

At this time, a team of Seta first aid team medical soldiers carried a wounded mutinous Mobius soldier, who was the survivor of the battle just now.His armor was riddled with bullet holes from Goliath robot cannons and was nearly sieved, but was eventually saved.

At the moment, the soldier has been removed from the power armor and is lying in an emergency medical stretcher, covered in blood.

The nameplate on his uniform shows that he is from the Marine Corps Sergeant Max Redius (Max Redius) on the Sumer of the Second Fleet of Moebius, and the records show that Max has been rebuilding the Served in Imperial Blackheath Colony.

It can be clearly noticed that there are many scabbed scars on the non-commissioned officer's face, and it seems that they are all his own scratches.

Augustus has seen many Mobius legionnaires who were controlled and corrupted by the hybrid, and seen the terrible scars they caused by self-mutilation and mutual attacks when they struggled under the powerful spiritual force of the hybrid. own eyes, and some had all their teeth pulled out.

"Poor thing," Tychus said, looking at the soldier, "if I kick those hybrid bastards in the ass, they'll run for an hour to find the rot."

"What's this?" Augustus said, taking a bloody booklet from Seta Ambulance Lieutenant Amanda Haley.

"Your Majesty, this was found from the body of Corporal Max Radius, which recorded his condition before he was controlled by the hybrid." Lieutenant Amanda said.

Augustus read the booklet slowly after hearing the words, and roughly found what happened on Max's battleship.Their original mission was to go to a lost Xel'Naga ruins world to find the sacred objects of the local population, but they didn't realize that there was a huge hybrid manufacturing factory there.

When the hybrid entered the battleship with the ships returning to the mothership, the disaster began.

He turned quickly at first, but then got slower and slower until he stopped on the last page.

I saw that there were more than a dozen lines of equivalent words written on it, and every sentence from top to bottom became more and more illegible, as if the spirit of the person who wrote these words at that time was infinitely close to madness.

That sentence is that I will never betray.

"." Augustus sighed for a long time: "Put him in the hibernation cabin of the White Star and take him back."

It's hard to imagine how desperate struggles these soldiers went through before they were completely controlled, but they all failed in the end.Now, they have become slaves to the hybrid.

Augustus could only hope that after killing Amon, the influence exerted by the hybrid on these fighters would dissipate on its own.

After the Mobius Legionnaire was sent away, Augustus received a call from Artanis not long after.

At this time, the troops of Artanis and Kolarion had defeated the Tadarin and Mobius Legion troops around the Hall of Revelation, preparing to open it.

"Artanis said they couldn't open the Hall of Revelation?" Augustus frowned after receiving the communication from Artanis.

"It's been in disrepair for a long time, broken?" Renault asked: "But since even the Protoss doesn't know what to do, what's the use of looking for us."

"Why don't we dismantle it and take it back to study carefully." Although Tychus turned around, he was still a thief at heart.

"Go and see to find out," said Augustus.
