StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 720 Narud!Change it for me!

It is said that although the Emperor of the Empire never prayed to the God of War, he was in his favor.It was destiny for Augustus Mengsk to ascend the throne, for Fortune kissed the boy from Khastilling at his birth.

This is a joke.

I could crush him with one finger.Alarak thought maliciously.

But Alarak knew that he had to be cautious. In this huge military alliance led by the Tyrannian Empire, he was really soft-spoken.Before he was promoted to a high position, Alarak was just an unknown person who had not yet become an ascendant in the chain of promotion where ruthless people came out, so he knew how to forbear and wait.

At least, it was like this before becoming a high-ranking lord.

To put it bluntly, he is just a beggar standing up now, but he is sure that Augustus and Artanis have to help him.

"There's no need for me to remind you of the fact that soldiers are expensive and fast." Alarak squinted his scarlet slender eyes and stared at Augustus who was walking towards him.

He put aside what happened just now, and put on a superior tone again, as if he was the one giving orders:
"Augustus Mengsk, the only way to defeat the enemy is to outdo them. While Marash's supporters are scattered among the death fleet fighting the primordial swarm, you should immediately dispatch a The army raids Slane!"

"You're right." Augustus glanced at Alarak.What Alarak said was exactly what he did, but he didn't want to appear more anxious than the other party.

There was the biggest leading party in front of him, and he had been left alone for a while, impatient to kill Slane.

"So you agree?" Alarak walked to the other side of Augustus and walked beside him.He is strong and sharp, much higher than humans without power armor.

Artanis walked on the other side of Augustus, with Alarak on the left and right, very conspicuous.

"Why not?" Augustus retorted to Alarak. "As you say, we should send an army to Slane."

"Lead by me?" Alarak was satisfied with Augustus' attitude, but he didn't show it.In the past, Augustus had always been contradicting Alarak, or he just didn't answer.

Except for the few ascenders who stood at the top of the chain of ascension in the past, when did Alarak suffer this kind of grievance.

This foolish emperor thinks that he can ride on the head of the future high-ranking lord, does this make him appear to be very qualified?
childish.

"Leaded by Artanis." Augustus looked at Artanis next to him, who also agreed.

"Artanis, I hope you have read the right person." Alarak was not annoyed. Although Tadarin looked down on the Templars, he also recognized their strength.

"But we still need your strength." Augustus emphasized again.

"Hmph." Alarak snorted softly, "As expected."

Augustus glanced at Alarak again.I don't know if you say Hongguoguo, you are so cute, Alarak might be stunned by the dog emperor on the spot.

"The most powerful templars and dark templars under my command volunteered to join this expedition to rescue the Tal'darine brethren enslaved by Amon and set them free," Artanis continued.

"Freedom? Freedom is just an illusion given by the strong to the weak. They don't need freedom." Alarak said, "Don't get me wrong, Artanis, why do you always have to struggle with freedom."

"Some people are born to be ruled, while others rule others. This is Tadarin. But the chain of ascension is fair. Through tricks and killing, the strong can still achieve class ascension, unlike your eldest son of God .”

"It's really cruel and fair. Our concepts are indeed very different." Artanis admitted: "The past system of the Protoss Empire was too rigid. My mentor and I focused on reform, but there were many obstacles."

"At least now you don't have to worry about it anymore," Alarak said sarcastically.

"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up on my people." Artanis said sharply.

"It's a waste of time, they are hopeless, you know that well." Alarak said, "When I seize the position of High Lord of Marash, the Death Fleet will immediately declare war on Amon. "

"We'll only do it when we feel the time is right," Artanis shot back.

Alarak was very dissatisfied with being excluded from high-level decision-making. He knew that Augustus and others had plans in mind, but they knew nothing about the details.In general, Augustus was not as lacking in confidence as he appeared, and he was even confident, definitely not pretending, otherwise Alarak would not have wronged himself to follow a fool.

They still don't trust themselves, that's for sure.

In his heart, Alarak thinks everyone is a fool, but his cleverness lies in assuming that everyone is smart.

"You shouldn't be here." Kerrigan's red hair was loose, and the shoes on his feet had gone somewhere, so he could only stand barefoot.Other than that, the dress on her body didn't even show signs of being affected by the battle.

"I sensed that Narud was still alive - although he had been badly injured."

"I'm not afraid of him." Augustus' face remained unchanged: "I think he should be afraid of me instead."

"How are you feeling? Are you hurt?"

"Actually, I feel good." The Empress of the Empire, who has always shown a dignified and elegant image, cheered happily, clasped her hands together, and pushed her fingers back to the top of her head, stretching her almost perfect curve.

Kerrigan's figure is well maintained, shedding the youthfulness of a girl, showing the plumpness of a mature woman.There were no wrinkles on her face, which might have something to do with psionic powers, but it was hard to tell because Tosh looked at least twenty years older than he really was.

"When I was in the palace, I always felt that the power accumulated in my body could not be released."

"Then, this is good news for me." Augustus' face seemed to have aged a lot for a moment.

Augustus looked towards Narud's original position. At this time, the dense fog caused by the explosion had dispersed, and the bridge deck paved with huge rocks was full of potholes and ravines left by the war.Surprisingly, all the damaged hulls are shining with green light, and they are repairing themselves while absorbing the surrounding void energy that has not yet dissipated.

Augustus still hadn't seen Narud yet, but he was sure he was somewhere ahead.

The bridge of the world ship is flat and wide, and Narud can only hide behind the numerous consoles, instrument panels and crystal cores.

"I'll go to the front to find out." Talandar was deeply ashamed that he could only watch from the sidelines just now. He had already "died" once, and his psychic power was no longer as powerful as before, so he was really powerless.

Augustus did not stop Talandar and let him go.Although Talandar's Archon suit is unique, he still has many such suits on the Cerbros as backup.

If we are unfortunate enough to lose a Talandar, we can drop more Talandar loaded with Vengeance Protocol into the enemy's position immediately.

Talandar strode forward, followed by Artanis, Vorazun, and their respective warriors, while Augustus continued on, protected by the royal guard.

At this moment, a deep voice sounded: "This is only the beginning. Amon whispered everything from the nebula. He told you that he would return. He predicted destruction, extinction and the end of everything."

"Prophecy?" Augustus said in his heart that you are still playing tricks:

"I'm standing here. If Amon can predict my death, why doesn't he do it now?"

Immediately, Augustus thought that this might be a "who dares to kill me" flag, which was not auspicious, so he didn't say any more.

Although Amon can't predict a person's death, he will engrave a prophecy in front of you, and then kill you himself, thus verifying the prophecy.

"And your end and destruction is on the edge of my sword." Talandar was not frightened at all, he was now a true materialist warrior.

On the battlefield, Talandar's Archon Mecha is a real weapon of war, a real Iron Fury Beast, capable of wrestling with monsters like Omega Ultralisk.

Talandar quickly found and grabbed Narud with his pair of mechanical limbs that could chop down giant trees. At that time, Narud's strength was almost exhausted and he had returned to the appearance of human Narud.Even so, he was almost out of shape, and his well-tailored dress was completely rotted on his body.

"Let me see Augustus Mengsk! Let me see Augustus Mengsk!" Finally, Narud stopped being secretive and wanted to see Augustus.Since he didn't care about this incarnation, his attitude could actually be a little tougher.

The smartest way is that Narud can lie to Augustus that he has planted countless hidden dangers in the Tyrannian Empire, forcing Augustus to launch a big cleansing, and plunge mankind into endless civil war.

"You can't erase my contribution to the Tyranid Empire!" Narud was still saying when Talandar carried him to Augustus.

Narud's face was already broken, and the green light shone from the face like a broken human skin mask, which was very scary.

"You're right." Augustus saw the monster in front of him, but he wasn't worried that the monster would hurt him.Here he stands Artanis Alarak, the two red and blue goalkeepers, and Kerrigan Vorazun, nothing to be afraid of.

"You will be left with a rich and colorful page in the history books. My historians will describe you as a true hero, but unfortunately corrupted by Amon, used by him, and finally fell into an irreversible degeneration."

Having said that, Augustus really sighed, showing a look of "Naiqing hurt me too much".

"I used to think that the person who was least likely to betray me was you."

"Hehe. I just want to ask you, when did you find out?" Narud didn't believe it at all.

"From the very beginning." Augustus said truthfully, "When you first appeared in front of me as Emir Narud."

"You lied." Narud stared at Augustus:

"impossible!"

"Look." Augustus sighed a long time: "Emile, when did I lie to you?"

"You dog." Narud thought that after he became a Xel'Naga, he would no longer be angry with the lower creatures. Until now, Augustus was still pretending here.

Suddenly, Narud's appearance changed drastically, and Augustus found that the old man in front of him turned into a little girl with silver-gray hair.

Augustus seemed to have been slapped in the face.

"Get out of the way!" Alarak used his big black claws to push Augustus behind him, as if grabbing a sleeping cat from his lap:
"Don't hold me back!"

Alarak didn't want to save Augustus. If he died, who would send troops to help him ascend to the position of high-ranking lord?

But Alarak immediately discovered that Narud hadn't erupted with much power, and couldn't figure out why Augustus looked so painful.

"I am the nightmare you cannot escape." Narud changed many appearances in an instant, turned into Thomas Omo, turned into the mech pilot who died protecting Augustus, and finally turned into him The authority that once fiercely resisted, the majestic patriarch, the hero of Keha, the savior of the people.

His father, Angus Mengsk.

In the memory of Augustus, Angus was once extremely tall, like a straight mountain, seemingly invincible forever.

But now Angus is too old, with thinning hair and piled up wrinkles. Suddenly, it seems incredible that he has shrunk by a whole circle, and he is really an old man.Angus is still afflicted by Korha's destruction and countless sacrifices, and he has become much weaker.

Augustus could easily knock him down now, but he only felt pain.

"Go ahead and execute the man in front of you." Narud said to Augustus in the form of Angus.

"Okay, let's do it." Without any mercy, Augustus agreed to him.

"No, you will never know my past."

Narud, you fail because you don't bother to really understand me.

As Alarak crushed Narud with a frenzied psychic wave, he was still saying, "You lost! Amon has returned!"

Some time later, Raynor and Tychus found Augustus and reported the results of the battle to him.

"We have reoccupied the Sarnaga world ship." Renault said to Augustus: "But it is seriously damaged. Swan told me that even if there are sufficient manpower and resources, they will take at least four months to repair it." battleship."

This means that the world ship can't keep up with the next battle plan.

"Tell Swan that any problem that can be solved with money will not be a problem." Augustus knew what kind of promise Swan wanted.

"Who doesn't speak big words." Renault expressed disdain.

"Only you are not qualified to say that about me." Augustus retorted.

"So we still have to go to the void?" Tychus gave me a look like you don't lie to me.

"Hell, cowboys are supposed to be wandering the world." Reynolds said with high spirits: "The void is the end of the world."

"Jimmy, do you know what my motto is?"

"Eating, drinking, whoring and gambling?" Renault said "ah".

"Damn it, it's heaven and earth, and I am the only one." Tychus' face darkened.

Out of politeness and respect for his old friend, Renault remained silent.

"Is that Narud dead?" Tychus asked Augustus nonchalantly, "I heard he's an evil xel'naga shapeshifter who can change anything."

"Yes." Augustus nodded. "But I think we just destroyed Narud's avatar. His real body still lives somewhere in the void."

"Exactly like the real person," Raynor said. "A perfect copy, a clone."

"You bastard reminded me that I never thought Narud could be used like this," Tychus said. "If he could be anyone, I hope he can be Daisy."

"That pink-haired girl with big breasts? Believe me, Narud would never do that." Renault was taken aback.Tychus knew a lot of heavy-handed play, and he didn't expect him to be able to do it against non-human creatures.

"When you see Narud's real body in the void, you will regret what you said today." Augustus said to Tychus.
