Chapter 702 Sacoolas, What Should I Do To Save You
Sacoolas, Shrines of Lizul.

Much of the twilight star's surface is strikingly barren, with indigo seas separating continents of desert and jagged hills, with sparse vegetation growing in only a few wonderlands.

The Sanctuary of Rizul sits on a raised plateau, bathed in a hazy purple light.This is a magnificent ancient architectural complex. The symmetrical spiral patterns and rotating halos on the buildings echo the sky shrouded in twilight. Thousands of javelin-like clusters of purple crystals are obliquely inserted between the magnificent walls of the temple. In the meantime, the melodious buzzing of the matrix resonates between the heaven and the earth, and a sense of tranquility, harmony and unreality arises spontaneously.

Standing under the Temple of Rizur, even the restless and anxious heart will find unprecedented tranquility.This is a temple of the Nerazim protoss, a place of meditation for the dark templar, where they practice subduing the void with their will.

It was not the first time that Augustus had visited Sacoolas, but he had always visited Tassadar in Tematros, the capital of the Nerazim protoss, and had never been so far away.

The Dark Templars told Augustus that Sacoolas was a land of power. They had wandered here for thousands of years, but from the Sea of ​​Sorrows to Katuul Province, from the vast Sacoolas There are still many mysterious places on this planet that have not been fully explored.

Those known to have been excavated are enshrined as sacred places that cannot be desecrated, such as the Sanctuary of Rizul.

Augustus stood between the light and melodious circular courtyards of the Ryzur Temple. In the hazy and dim twilight, the distant Naszar Mountain (Naszar) condensed into an invisible blue-purple Spots of light, that is the dazzling brilliance emitted by the crystal veins all over the foothills and peaks of the mountain.In the drowsy twilight of Sacoolas, the majestic and sacred mountain shone like a beacon.

The Nerazim regard the sacred mountain of Nazjar as sacred, and this sacred mountain also happens to contain the richest minerals of Saquras.The bishops' council in Dharam had proposed to mine the crystal veins on the holy mountain of Nazzar to build the warships of the golden fleet, but Vorazun, the daughter of the matriarch Razagal, persuaded them to abandon this plan.

Under the invasion of the powerful culture of the Aiur protoss, the ancient traditions and customs of the protoss of Saguras Nerazim are gradually disappearing.The radical faction headed by Vorazun in the Dalam Light and Shadow Council naturally does not want the Nerazim Protoss to be assimilated by the Aiur Protoss and become their vassal.

This is a microcosm of the contradictions and conflicts between the El Protoss and the Nerazim Protoss in Durham. Different positions and even cultural differences have led to serious differences between them on many issues.If it weren't for leaders like Tassadar and the support of Razagar, the real Dharam of the protoss-union can be said to be very difficult.

But since Kara was completely controlled by Amon, the internal conflicts in Durham could be put aside for a while in a sense.

"Your Majesty, hybrids and zergs are still pouring in here through the Xel'Naga portal to Aiur." Imperial Admiral David Jones (David Jones) in Augustus Beside him, he was a middle-aged man with a steady demeanor, standing breathlessly like an ancient swordsman.

Everyone, including Augustus, knew that David Jones was one of the best naval commanders of our time, an old-school general who pursued a duel-like attack on the battlefield.

Augustus will sum it up in one sentence, that is, he is still using ancient tactics to attack the front.

"The swarm has almost destroyed the entire Tematros. This historic dark templar city is being destroyed, leaving only the southwestern city." General Jones is tall and thin, with a square jaw, a low forehead, and a complexion. Ruddy, a pair of sharp eyes are not angry and majestic.He wears a suit of gold-and-red power armor, with golden Imperial emblems on the shoulder plate and greaves.

Sacoolas is dimly lit at all times of the day, so the moon and stars shine especially bright here.Augustus heard the words and looked towards the south of the Rizul Temple, and the city of Taimatros was just under the low-hanging silver galaxy.

In the impression of Augustus, Taimatros is a splendid city with the aesthetics of the dark templar. The whole city is shrouded in the flash of dark crystal green, like a city of black crystal rising in the green fire. .It was a dreamlike and bewitching city, full of imagination and creativity, and none of the Dark Templar cities Augustus had since seen could compare with Taimatros.

At the end of the horizon, Tematros is burning.

Even the most splendid and majestic city cannot escape the fate of being destroyed by Amon. The Dark Templar spent 1000 years building Taimatros, transforming it from a landing post into a magnificent city, but destroying this city It only takes a short, short time.

Augustus has seen many ruined cities and ruins standing on the scorched earth. He saw them melt like candles in the flames, and even the giant towers that plunged into the sky turned into pools of molten iron.

Right now, the Sanctuary of Rizul is one of the few areas in Sacoolas that has not been invaded by hybrid and zerg armies.

All over Sacoolas, terrible earthquakes followed the fission of continental plates, lava spewed tens of thousands of feet into the air, and lava rivers that were clearly visible from high-altitude orbits continued to form.

Just as Augustus had seen on the planet Atrias before, a huge void fissure with a diameter of thousands of miles was forming on the surface of Sacoolas' planet, and it was constantly spewing out terrifying scarlet void energy, terrifying The shadow of the void is eroding every inch of land at an incredible speed.

Sacoolas is being pulled closer to the void at an astonishing speed, but from the perspective of the universe, this planet is just a speck of dust in the vast galaxy, which is insignificant in the void where countless celestial bodies are formed and destroyed, but it is The last home of the Dark Templar.

"It seems that we are still late." Artanis looked at the twilight city of Taimatros, which was about to be destroyed by the flames, and couldn't hide the grief in his heart: "There is violent void energy surging under the surface of Sacoolas , I can feel Amon's monstrous anger from it."

After the fall of Aiur, Tassadar, Artanis, Phoenix and others led their people to Sacoolas and established a new home on this dimly lit planet.Even if their new home in Sacoolas, New Antioch, was equally grand, there was nostalgia for those sun-soaked days in Ayr.

In that great escape that the Aiur protoss would not even want to remember, all precious things and works of art had to be temporarily abandoned, and all spaceships had to be freed to transport people and important supplies.If the Tyrannic humans of Augustus hadn't reached out to help them in time, more eldest sons of gods might have died in that catastrophe.

Now, Sacoolas is about to fall, and both his people and the Dark Templar will once again be at a loss.

The Protoss Empire has many colonies, and many of the Aiur Protoss who fled to Sacoolas were evacuated to these worlds.That's it, there are still tens of millions of El Protoss living in Sacoolas, and most of them are Kalai class civilians who have no fighting ability.

Artanis can't ignore that the number of Nerazim protoss is small, and most of the population is in Sacoolas. This catastrophe is even more devastating to them.

"I don't know what the Purifiers in Colorado will choose." Augustus looked at Artanis and said, "But I think the Purifiers will be more inclined to use flames to cleanse all Zerg infection. their style."

"The command center just received a message, it's for you, Your Majesty." At this time, a communication soldier carrying a holographic projector found Augustus.

When the holographic projection device was turned on, an unexpected dark templar appeared on the screen.

It was Vorazun, daughter of the current Nerazim matriarch, Rashagal.

Ever since Augustus saw the Nerazim matriarch Razagal, her health seemed to be not very good. She was getting older and weaker, like an old man on the verge of death.A few years is just a short period of time for Protoss, but the influence exerted on Razagal is particularly obvious.

As time passed, Razagal seldom appeared in public, and even handed over the affairs of the clan to her daughter.

"Thank you for coming to support Sacoolas at such a critical time, Emperor Augustus Mengsk, Nerazim will never forget your kindness" Vorazun saw Augustus and Atta Nis said: "Praise be to the gods, Artanis, you are alive."

"Amon corrupted Kara, and it was the Corolla Leon executive and Emperor Augustus who saved me and my fleet." Artanis said immediately, "Volazon, what's the situation now?"

"The hybrid army and the insect swarm destroyed our city, and the Shadow Guard was completely lost." Vorazun said sadly: "It all happened so suddenly, the templars fell into madness, and in the blink of an eye We launched an attack, and then the Xel'Naga portal to Aiur was opened, and there are traces of the great battle everywhere."

"We are trying to evacuate the remaining people, but there is no guarantee that they will be able to evacuate safely."

Many Dark Templar followed Tassadar and joined the Golden Fleet to participate in the expedition to restore Ayr, which is why Sacoolas' defense was insufficient.

And when their homeland, Sacoolas, was at war, these warriors did not make it back.

Only one thing is certain, Amon doesn't need warriors he can't fully control, which is why the Tal'darin Protoss ended up being an outcast.It was to be expected that the Dark Templars in the Golden Fleet would be purged without hesitation, and it would be their fellow Templars who executed them.

"The survivors on Sacoolas must be rescued as much as possible and transferred to a safe place." Augustus then said: "My warriors and the Purifiers of the Corolla Leon Executive will help you."

"Thank you for your support. Fortunately, most of the protoss are concentrated in the large cities of Tematros and New Antioch, which makes large-scale rescue and evacuation possible." Vorazun continued: "The Light and Shadow Council is also in chaos. Everything is messed up."

"I don't know what happened in your new Antioch, but the Callais were far less affected than the Templars, and many remained sane - which is inexplicable, because their will Nowhere near the Templar class."

"Maybe Amon only needs the strong templars to work for him, not the incompetent and weak craftsmen." A discordant voice suddenly appeared, and the first ascendant Alarak sneered coldly: " But that's it, Amon's madness and anger are enough to drive those poor guys crazy."

"Tsk tsk tsk~"

"I advise you to give up. Even if none of them dies, it doesn't matter." Alarak said, "I didn't come here to save lives and heal the wounded."

"I can't figure out why this dirty little planet is worth wasting time? We should go to Slane immediately, defeat Marash, and take back my high lord position."

"Zeratul and his dark templars have helped me a lot, and the Tyranid Empire will not ignore the fall of Sacoolas." Augustus just said: "In the dark future, only as much as possible Only by destroying all forces against Amon can we turn defeat into victory."

"I thought you were smart enough to understand everything."

"Hmph—" Alarak's soft snort was not aggressive, nor did he respond sharply with words as usual.

He knew that this was an aggressive method, so he couldn't be fooled.

"Artanis, why is there a Tadarin beside you?" Vorazun asked.

"I am Alarak No. 1, Tadarin's upgrade." Alarak slightly narrowed his eyes shining with scarlet spiritual flames, and said in a Tadarin-style euphemism: "Dark Templar, you are the best!" Well worth my time, I can't stand fools."

"I don't care who you are." Vorazun didn't have time to wait for Alarak to finish, and as she said, she didn't care about the identity of the Tal'darin protoss.

"Your stupidity is really beyond my imagination!" Alarak groaned and immediately shot back.

"Alarak is our new ally." Artanis couldn't find anything good to say when he introduced Alarak to Vorazun: "Alarak is determined to lead his people to get rid of Amon's cruel rule, So it's on our side."

"With all due respect, it is not a wise choice to blindly believe in a Tadarin. They do not keep their promises, are extremely barbaric, and may betray at any time." Vorazun said: "The Tadarin will stand behind you, from Draw a sharp blade from the shadow."

"You are not worthy of my surprise attack from behind." Alarak sneered, "I can defeat you from the front! Dark Templar!"

"It depends on what you think of this Tal'darin, Artanis." Vorazun ignored Alarak, but looked at Artanis.

"." Artanis was silent.

When it comes to how Artanis views Alarak, it can only be said that this can be regarded as asking him.

What is Alarak in his heart?
"Tsk" Alarak clicked again. He knew that he was not trusted by these protoss, and he didn't expect them to be so easy to deceive.

"...There is no time to waste." Vorazun looked at Augustus again: "Emperor Augustus, I implore you to send reinforcements to Taimatros to help us evacuate the civilians."

"We will never forget what happened today."

"Well, we are marching towards Tematros and New Antioch, and hope that the Dark Templars have enough ships to transport refugees." Augustus said, looking in the direction of Tematros.

"Forward," General Jones ordered over the command channel.

Between the criss-crossing rivers and the soft sandbanks outside the Temple of Rizul, armies of the Tyrannian Empire are gathering, and all kinds of heavy armor are deployed to a more solid surface.When such a huge army is deployed on the ground, it is a very spectacular sight. You can see the advancing torrent of steel and the marines pressing on the ground.

In the hazy fog over Taimatros, fierce air battles had already begun. The pirate ships of the Dark Templars never gave up their struggle, and now they have received the support of Imperial Viking fighters.

"Dehaka." Augustus called softly, and amidst the shock that shook the entire Rizur Temple, a terrifying creature with double rows of sword-shaped bone plates broke out of the ground.

This giant Tyrannosaurus Rex-like monster broke out of the ground. It was incredibly large and powerful, and under the solid bone plate was filled with terrifying power like magma and flames.

"There are many powerful essences here." Dehaka said word by word, running towards the distant battle line: "And we will hunt and kill."

"Alarak, if you want to reach a cooperation, you must show the corresponding sincerity." Augustus finally turned to look at Alarak: "This is the rule of the transaction."

"We will help you climb to the top of the chain of ascension, and in our eyes, the life of every civilian is more important than your position as a high-ranking lord."

"Remember, this is just a deal." Alarak turned to Augustus and said that he did not send troops to save people.

　Recently, there is also a problem with my mentality, I often can't sleep all night... Damn it, it's been almost a month, I can't go on like this...
