StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 695 Do You Think I'm A Fool?

Alpha Squadron flagship Norad III at the entrance to the Altarion Rift.

Admiral Edmund Duke, Marshal of the Empire, was dressed in a neatly pressed ivory uniform, with dozens of glittering and eye-catching medals and medals hanging on his chest to demonstrate his outstanding achievements in all-out wars.

As in the past, Duke was standing on the bridge of his flagship looking down at his majestic and majestic fleet, imagining the grand scene of the fleet's artillery firing together and showing off its power.

The lights in the starport and fleet clusters below flickered, and the wake of the propellers of the warships converged into blue and red scorching torrents, which looked majestic and imposing.There is no doubt that this is the greatest fleet of the Tyrannian Empire. The gleaming white deck, shocking cannon muzzle and shining golden eagle logo are enough to make every enemy of the empire tremble.

In the Tyrannian Empire Navy, the battleships of Alpha Squadron are larger than those of the same type.In a sense that might have been true, since Duke always ordered his precious battleships to be painted over and over again when the fleet was resting, so that they would always be inspected in a clean and new posture.

It is estimated that the paintwork on the Alpha Squadron ships may have been at least several inches thick.

All in all, under Duke's strict requirements, Alpha Squadron can join a grand war anytime and anywhere, Blood Eagle Alpha will prove that he is still the most powerful military force in the Tyrann Empire, and he is still the most The general most trusted by Emperor Augustus.

I really don't know what will happen to the Tyranid Empire if Duke leaves him one day. Jim Raynor's gang of bumpkins, clowns and idiots will turn the palace into a circus sooner or later.

Edmund Duke had no interest in political power, but reveled in the command of a large army.He loves to fight and never tires of it.

As a result, the targets of Duke's struggle for power and profit naturally became the officers of the Devil Party of Heaven, such as Renault, Rundstein, and Harnack.

Generally speaking, Emperor Augustus would not show excessive favor to any of his courtiers. Will" is different in the end.

"The emperor has no new orders?"

Looking away from his great fleet, Duke slowly turned to his adjutant Colonel Scott: "The fleet has been in for more than 40 hours, and we are just guarding the entrance of the treasure place in a daze."

Because the turbulent and powerful high-energy particle flow in the Altarion Rift cut off the communication, the internal and external communication has been completely cut off, and only ships can be sent to communicate with the Rift.

"The last order came four hours ago. His Majesty ordered us to continue to guard the entrance of the Ottarian fissure, and not to let go of any ships or creatures coming out of it." Scott is a young man with a slightly pale complexion, tall, Handsome and well-spoken, he is very different from the brutal and rude Duke.

Scott has been Duke's right-hand man since the days of the Old Confederacy.To put it bluntly, Scott is the one who uses his brain the most, even Duke, who is arbitrary, will listen to his opinions.

This person is also very interesting. He used to be a staunch supporter of the Federation. Later, he was inspired by the personal charm of Emperor Augustus and his grand vision of creating the Tyrannian Empire, and became a staunch supporter of the new empire without any suspense. .

"I see." Duke nodded.

Duke couldn't figure out why Emperor Augustus would let Alpha Squadron sit idly away from the battlefield, but he quickly convinced himself that good steel should be put to good use.

Once again, Duke turned his head to look at the Altarion fissure emitting a little light outside the porthole, but he still couldn't see the slightest trace of the enemy.Even if it was just an explosion, he was eager for some noise to come out there, so that the Alpha Squadron, which had been on standby for a long time, could immediately go into battle.

Some people say that Duke is very old, but he feels that he is stronger than those young boys, and there is nowhere to release his blood.

Edmund Duke was never afraid of a challenge, if that wasn't thrilling enough.Duke didn't really care who he was fighting with, as long as he was able to command the army, whether the enemy was humans, protoss, zerg, or gods, it didn't matter.

At this moment, Duke suddenly felt his hair stand on end. This unnatural feeling could only point to a hateful creature, the Protoss.The hateful blood-red eyes further indicated his identity - the Tadarin protoss.

Other than that, there was no sign at all, and a man wearing black armor and a scarlet battle robe suddenly appeared on the bridge of the Norad III.This guy seemed to be teleported in directly, completely ignoring the barrier of the battlecruiser's solid bulkhead, and even passing through the dense sensor array.

This is exactly the style of the protoss. I heard that many of their buildings, such as the forge, do not even have a door, and they all rely on jumping in and out.

But what the hell is going on now?
"Kill him!" Duke didn't spend any time asking who he was or why he was here.The most likely scenario is that this was an assassination attempt on a senior Imperial commander.

"Call the guards, the bridge is invaded by the enemy."

Without any hesitation, Duke pulled out the P-45 pistol on his waist and started shooting at the uninvited guest.This pistol is of such a caliber that it is powerful enough to lift a Zergling's skull and split a man in two.

There are many officers and soldiers on the bridge, and figures like Duke are of course protected by high-level Ghosts, but all shots are distorted by the powerful psionic power of this Tal'darin protoss.

In the blink of an eye, a burst of annihilation shock waves sweeping across the entire bridge swept away from the Tadarin, knocking everyone including everyone to the ground, sparks burst from the electronic equipment on the bridge, and plunged into chaos. In the dark.

"The gap between your ridiculous weapons and the sharp blades in my hands is as big as branches and spears!" The Tadarin protoss sneered and said, "Only you humans are still using primitive and backward live-fire projectile weapons, and you Other than that, there's nothing else to do!"

"I am Alarak, Tal'darin's upgrade No. 1." Accompanied by bursts of psionic reverberations, he held up the sharp blade in his hand, as if to show his authority:

"Put down your arms, what suspense is there in this battle?"

While speaking, Alarak stretched out his hand and twisted his body in the empty space on his right, pulling out an invisible Empire ghost agent.The sharp blades on his nails scratched the battle suit on the ghost agent's neck, and drops of blood overflowed from the cut and damaged parts.

Alarak casually threw the ghost agent who fell into a coma due to the psychic shock to the ground, and rarely did he kill anyone.

"Such a short-lived creature is eager to die. If you have so little ability, how can you deal with Amon?" Alarak repeated his old trick and stunned the remaining ghost agents on the bridge. it did take him a while

"You damn Tadarin!" When getting up from the ground, Duke felt a dull pain all over his body.Right now, there are dozens of imperial officers and soldiers whose life and death are unknown lying on the bridge, and the sirens are flashing non-stop.

"What did you do to them?"

Alarak, the first ascender of Tal'darin, is the figure who stands at the pinnacle of Slane's power.

As an important figure in the hostile forces, it is impossible for Duke not to understand something.In fact, the more famous these characters were, the more credit Duke would get for killing them.

According to the unreliable information of the Imperial Intelligence Department, the First Ascended Alarak is a ruthless, insidious character who is good at conspiracies and tricks, and is good at manipulating people's hearts and manipulating power.If the high-ranking lord Marash ruled Tadarin with powerful force and cruel means, then Alarak relied more on his superb skills to walk among various forces and control the crowd.

Of course, as the current number one ascender, Alarak's power is not insignificant.

"They can't die yet." The tall Tadarin protoss looked down into Duke's angry eyes condescendingly: "If you have time to care about other people's lives, it's better to care about yourself."

Alarak noticed that the human being in front of him was not afraid at all—no, he would indeed feel timid, which is natural, but soon, this person would be controlled by a series of hormones secreted in his body, Become violent and reckless.In other words, the ass takes over the brain.

When Alarak walked towards Duke slowly and was only a few steps away from him, the old general pounced on the Tadarin No.1 like a tiger, and swung his fist fiercely at his pale and sickly body. The face waved over.

But immediately, Alarak dodged the blow lightly, and knocked Duke to the ground with a harder and faster punch.

Alarak withdrew his punch, otherwise Duke's face would not be as simple as having an extra panda eye.

"Your fist is as soft as a kitten, and your thinking is as dull as a pug. Oh~ Even the weakest Tal'darin Death Apostle is much tougher and more powerful than you."

"I racked my brains and can't figure out what's so good about your ridiculous salamander head." Alarak walked across the screen on the console with the sharp blade on his finger, his words were always There is a hint of sarcasm: "Is your emperor really unavailable?"

"You should learn from Tal'darin."

"Bah!" Duke spat.

"Listen to me, you bastards are not worth my shot." Of course Alarak knew what was going on in Duke's mind.

"There's no time for small talk, your sad emperor is trapped in Urna. He's such a complete idiot that he doesn't even know he's fallen into Amon's trap!" He sneered and said: "If you want to save him, you have to trust me and send the fleet to Urna immediately!"

"Hmph, I thought he was a valuable character, but I missed it."

"You think I'm a fool?" Duke couldn't possibly listen to what the enemy said. In a few words, he couldn't figure out what Alarak was talking about, and he couldn't figure out why this Tadarin would betray him. The god of darkness came to inform mankind.

"That's right, but it's not important." Alarak smiled coldly: "Or, do you think you're smart?"

"If I wanted you to die, I would have screwed your head off long ago, so why waste time with you."

"Ask yourself, what value do you have that I can use, that I should lower my status to deceive you? Isn't it sincere enough for the first ascendant to appear on the stage?" Alarak said: "You really let me down. "

"If both Marash and Jilana died in Atriaes last time, now I am the new high-ranking lord, and I can command all Tadarim without having to go there myself."

In just a few words, Duke was convinced that this damn protoss was more hateful than Jim Raynor.This group of protoss lunatics who have been fooled by taking diazepam, their brains are not normal, and their words make people angry.

"While there is still a chance, you'd better kill me quickly, or I will throw you into the garbage dump like a dead dog." Duke was delaying time, and before long, the elite guards of Alpha Squadron Will rush to the flagship.It seemed that this Tadalin didn't intend to kill him, otherwise he would have done it long ago.

"I don't know what you are talking about, but if you want me to betray the emperor, you should die as soon as possible!"

"So loyal—" Alarak said, staring at Duke, "but I'm sure your emperor is trapped in Urna right now. His biggest mistake was taking a group of Templars into Urna , and now they are all corrupted by Amon."

"In order to save your leader's life, I don't mind reminding you again, immediately send the fleet into Urna, otherwise it will be too late."

"The only way to win is to do better than your enemy, General. If you ask for death, my way will make your death more worthwhile."

"No one." Duke said slowly, "No one can move his army past the emperor!"

"nobody!"

"Tsk tsk, poor coward, it's better for you to die than live in fear." Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, Alarak could only throw out such a sentence coldly.

Just as Alarak was deciding to say something more, several Durham aircraft carriers suddenly jumped out of the three-dimensional map of the still-lit tactical platform on the Norad III.

These aircraft carriers looked very strange. Not only was there a strange red light lingering on the golden-blue armor, but behind them were many Purifier Protoss warships that were firing.

"All Imperial battleships, stop those Durham battleships!"

The communication flow of the Purifier battleship suddenly flashed on the bridge, and the sentences were as concise as ever.

"See, this is enough to prove that what I said is true."

"The beasts are out, they are the dogs of the void," said Alarak. "Each one is a thousand times more terrifying than your mightiest human warriors."

"Amon corrupted the Kara and turned the Templar into his lackeys, but Tal'darine has no Kara, and we don't need such a weak and ridiculous thing."

Although Alarak had realized at this time that the emperor of the Tyrannian Empire might not need to save himself at all, it didn't matter at all.

Alarak was not really in a hurry to save him, it was just a means to gain the trust of humans, as long as he reminded them was enough.

"What are you waiting for, smash those Templar ships! Their ridiculous battleships are as fragile as beautiful shells, vulnerable to a single blow." Alarak's tone seemed to be that he was the leader of this human fleet. Commander, he stared at the menacing Dharam warship, his bright red eyes sparkled with hatred and hatred.

"They are now Amon's lackeys, a group of poor people who can't control their own destiny." He shouted at Duke: "Don't you understand? This universe is about to end, and Amon wants us all to die! "

"Hurry up, before they snap your neck. Next time, I won't remind you kindly."

"You don't need to give me orders." Duke straightened his expression: "Damn it, but you have to fix my boat."
