StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 704 Orega: You bombed you XX
Early the next day, Augustus, who had been briefed from various quarters, was convinced that things were on the right track.Despite the twists and turns, the survivors of the Nerazim Protoss trapped in Taimatros were able to board the evacuation ship that left Sacoolas in chaos and panic.

After confirming that no one was left behind, Augustus gave the order to abandon Tematros, and all Tyranid forces retreated in the direction of the Xel'Naga Temple.A portion of the Dark Templar voluntarily stayed behind to protect their human allies, determined to sink with the glorious city in the collapsing void rift.

It is a pity that they passed away.

At five o'clock in the morning, Augustus's command center had been evacuated southward along with the evacuated Tyrannian army, arriving near a facility called Zenith Rock by the Dark Templar.

A few miles away is the towering Sarnaga Temple. You can clearly see the huge corridors surrounding the temple and the magnificent stone steps that occupy the entire field of vision. A giant Kedarin crystal that dominates the sky stands high At the top of the sky, the Xel'Naga Temple is surrounded by blue arcs and violent storms brought about by dissipated energy.

Accompanied by senior imperial officers, Augustus came to the foot of this towering megalithic building, and walked through the dense forest of obelisks wearing power armor.These amazing megalithic construction areas are undoubtedly another masterpiece of the creators, and their greatness and grandeur are enough to shock any race with a brilliant civilization in the universe.

"There are a total of three Zenis responsible for regulating the huge energy for the Sarnaga Temple. Only by destroying them can the phase prism of the temple be overloaded." Artanis also traveled with Augustus, who came from Different races are familiar with each other like old friends.

"I am deeply disturbed by the destruction of these great monuments, but it is nothing compared to the continuation of the group."

At the same time, outside Zenith Stonehenge, irregular battle lines are stretching along the vast land of Sacoolas Highlands, the shadows of hundreds of Tyranid Empire Marine Divisions, Purifier Sentinels and Dark Templars The Guards are engaged by the multiple swarm armies that flank them.

As if a meteor rose from the ground and fell to the sky, a series of bright flares lit up the eastern sky and opened the gates to hell.

It seemed that the dull roar and suffocating gunpowder smoke came long after the pouring shells and artillery fire continued to stretch forward, plowing the land over and over again.Dirt and gravel rose from the ground like a fountain, and were thrown high into the twilight sky, and the frightening roar swept across the fragmented land like a gust of wind.The ground covered by artillery fire is advancing every moment, and the terrible firepower of the Imperial Army never seems to be exhausted.

Compared with the huge roar and dazzling flashes outside, the vicinity of the Zenith boulder facility is much quieter.

The Tyranid Empire Engineering Corps is installing a fusion device near the Zenith boulder to detonate this facility and destroy it in the simplest and most brutal way.

"We're just doing what we have to do now." Augustus dared not say that he would make the same choice if Sacoolas was replaced by Kehal, so the choice of the Dark Templar made him even more worried. Pay homage.

Vorazun would rather destroy Sacoolas than let it fall into Amon's hands.In order to completely destroy the planet, she decided to force the phase prism of the Xel'Naga Temple to overload, so as to trigger a powerful energy wave to forcibly impact the core of the planet, directly crushing Sacoolas.

Decisive, resolute, very courageous decision.It was heavy, and having to destroy her own planet must have pained Vorazun beyond words, but she remained calm and strong.

And as Artanis said, to overload the prism, the first step is to destroy the three Zenith boulders outside the Naganaga Temple.

The next step, what they have to do is to hold the phase prism of the Xel'Naga Temple before it is completely overloaded, lest it be destroyed by the raging hybrids and swarms.This is a difficult task, because the Nerazim city around the Xel'Naga Temple has fallen, and there is almost no danger nearby, and then they must face the endless worms coming from all directions. Group of troops.

"We can hold on a little longer, so that more hybrids and zerg can pass through the xel'naga portal to Sacoolas, and wipe them all out."

"Your idea coincides with mine, Emperor Augustus." Artanis felt that this was exactly what he wanted to say, and they were simply connected: "In this way, we can further damage Amon's power."

"I like this plan. It seems that the dark templars are not all incompetent." Alarak, the first ascendant of Tadarin, was also among the crowd around Augustus. The hive troop can be said to be a one-man army: "This is revenge. I will make Amon bleed and make him regret his deception and betrayal!"

"For the sake of this, I don't mind helping you a little."

There is an obvious chain of contempt among the El Protoss, Nerazim, and Tadarim, and they don't like each other very much.The El protoss thought Nerazim was barbaric and backward, while the Nerazim protoss hated the other party's ruthlessness.On the other hand, Tadarin despises El Protoss and Nerazim at the same time, despises all weaknesses, but is loyal to plagiarizing each other's scientific research results.

"That's right, I want you to contribute as well." Augustus looked at Alarak, and his posture was not very high, but that was all he could say.

"There are four main roads leading to the Sarnaga Temple, which are located in the four directions of the temple." He arrayed his troops with ease and said, "My troops, Artanis and Talandar's troops will guard the south, The western and northern passes, and you and your army are in charge of the eastern one."

In comparison, the number and strength of the Tyrannian Empire troops guarding the Sarnaga Temple are the strongest, but in addition to defending one pass, they also need to reserve enough manpower to guard every corner of the temple. Beware of Nydus Worms bursting out of the ground or Zerg Drop Sacs dropping directly on the temple buildings from the sky.

"Any enemy who tries to cross this line of defense will run away, because their opponent is my No. 1 Alarak who has been promoted by Tadarin." Alarak raised his head slightly.

"Very good." Augustus said in his heart, please continue to maintain this confidence: "It is never easy to deal with the swarm, but I believe it should not be difficult for you and your powerful fighters."

"I have no doubts about it." Alarak said you should go to me.

"I also need to remind you that the terrain on the east side of the temple is very different from other areas. There is a huge gap that cannot be crossed, which makes the swarm only send their air force to attack from this side, rather In contrast, the defensive pressure on the ground is much smaller." Augustus then added: "But relatively, the swarm may send several times or even more aerial nests to attack from the east. In this way, the air defense will be strengthened." Firepower is critical."

"I will reserve enough reserves to support the various battlefields. If you can't resist, you must call for help immediately. Otherwise, the whole body may be affected by a single move, and the entire defense line may collapse."

"...Of course, I will." Alarak didn't have a nose and mouth, but his facial muscles were quite rich.This may also be a characteristic of Tadalin and the main protoss after the differentiation, because they do not have Kara, so they must use more language and body movements to achieve the purpose of expression and deception.

Right now, Alarak showed a narrow expression towards Augustus, but he didn't get angry.

—He waited for me to fail so I could ask him for help?Submit to him?
In Alarak's eyes, what Augustus said just now was obviously: Look, I left you the easiest task, but you don't need to thank me.

But Alarak wasn't angry.

The first ascendant of Tadarin knew that the other party was deliberately provoking him, and he was still testing himself, but he would never bite the bullet and take on the most difficult task just because of a moment of anger.Now Alarak is not a high-ranking lord, unable to mobilize Slane's death fleet. It is a fact that his Tadarin troops currently have the smallest number of forces among all parties in Saguras.

Although Augustus gave Alarak the main task of defending the pass, there was still a lack of trust between them, and each may never be able to gain the other's trust.

Like the rest of his kin in Ayr and Sacoolas, Alarak had his own pride, but he was both calm and content to be temporarily subordinated.Tadalin has long been accustomed to intrigues and intrigues with each other, and there are more bad thoughts in a single look than templars have had in a lifetime.

Tal'darin believes in respecting the strong and obeys the real strong.And although Augustus Mengsk himself is completely vulnerable to Alarak's view, his power is already the same in the Koprulu sector, and no one can question the current strength of the Tyrann Empire army.

One's own strength is important, but Alarak did not rely entirely on this to ascend to the apex of the chain of ascension.

And Alarak kept reminding himself what kind of character he was facing. During the reign of Augustus, the Tyranids lived all the way to the edge of the Milky Way where the stars were sparse, so that the Koprulu star area The original borders are long gone.

When getting along with protoss leaders like Tassadar, Phoenix, and Artanis, Augustus treats people with sincerity, but when facing Alarak, he is kind and powerful.

This human emperor never thought that he was superior to others, but he also did not think that others should be superior to himself.

"Be careful, there will only be more and more enemies coming towards the Sarnaga Temple in the future." Augustus looked around and said.

From Augustus's point of view, Alarak's mind is not difficult to guess. He is heinous, but he values ​​power and strength more, and everything must be compromised for this.Cruel, cruel, cunning, and ruthless, Alarak is the representative of the racial personality of the Tal'darin protoss.

This person is not without merit, at least when it comes to dealing with Amon, he is really ready to go.With this alone, Alarak and his supporters had the advantage over most of the Tyranid Empire's potential allies in the Koprulu Sector.

"While defending the temple, I will order the templar on the Spear of Adun to destroy the remaining two Zenith boulders." Artanis immediately took Augustus's words.

"Your Majesty, the psychic signal of the dark consul Orega appeared again. This time he appeared on the north side of the Sarnaga Temple." Admiral David Jones found Augustus at this time.

Over the past few hours, Orega's signal has been flickering, sometimes it is as if he has never been there, and sometimes his response on the sensor is more than stellar, like his Existence lies between void and reality.

"Orega, I can feel the monstrous hatred in his heart." Alarak also said: "I appreciate this kind of hatred and anger."

"The battle is getting worse for us," Artanis said.

Dark Archon Aurega is dangerous. That's the consensus.For humans and protoss, the Dark Archon, who is full of anger and hatred at this moment, is a terrible disaster.

On the contrary, Orega didn't provoke the Tyranid Empire very much. Anyway, he just wanted to do something big in the Dharam Protoss and take revenge on the Templars who had exiled the Nerazim Protoss.

Contrary to early misconceptions, the Dark Templar is actually a warrior of the same noble character as the Templar, but Aurega is still a special case among them.

Aurega is the real villain, cunning, cruel, and unscrupulous.

All in all, Orega's mental state is worrying, and even his kindred consider him either completely mad or half mad.Ever since Orrega's transition from Dark Templar to Dark Archon, his sanity has clearly been fading.

Orega used to be an extreme idealist, but as time went by, he was gradually becoming a murderous demon, and even began to hate his own compatriots.

But Augustus still believes that Aurega still has a love that has turned into an obsession for Sacoolas and his disappointed compatriots.

In the original timeline, Aurega was sealed at some point in 2503, just before the storyline of Wings of Liberty began.Even without considering the huge influence of Augustus on the plot, Orega is still quite active at this point in time.

Orega's appearance here did not surprise Augustus too much.

"Orega, did he come to take advantage of the fire to rob?" Artanis naturally didn't have a good impression of Orega.

"My subordinates are very strange, because Orega is attacking the hybrid and insect swarm that emerged from the Xel'Naga portal," General Jones said.

No one can question Orega's strength. He can almost compete with a fleet. It may be difficult to find a pure energy creature as powerful as him in the entire universe.

"That confuses me, Admiral," Artanis said truthfully.

Orega, isn't he one of Amon's subordinates?
Augustus originally thought that the powerful being that Orega was loyal to was Amon, but there was someone else?
Or Orega is only loyal to himself, and Emon is just an object he uses to achieve his ultimate goal, a springboard for him to realize his ambition.

"It's really unexpected help." Augustus also sighed.

This is actually understandable, even though Orega has transformed into an unrecognizable monster, but his original intention of becoming this appearance was only to avenge his clansmen.

And now that Amon wanted to destroy Sacoolas and the entire Nerazim, it was impossible for Orega to ignore it.

If Orega had cooperated with Emon, I'm afraid he was also deceived.

When Orega heard that Vorazun was going to blow up Sacoolas, this extreme Nerazim Supreme would probably explode in rage.
