StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 723 What Are Two Imperial Heroes?

Two tit-for-tat huge fleets confronted each other at a distance of three astronomical units. The space-time disturbance caused by the large-scale transition has not dissipated for a while, and the distorted shadows of numerous ships are extremely spectacular.

Vice Admiral Pryor's flagship Operation Flashpoint, 43 Minotaur-class battlecruisers are deployed on both sides of the ship in sequence, forming an inverted V-shaped wedge-shaped array. Frigates and fighters pass between the battleships, forming a Thousands of propeller tail flames look like a huge group of comets from a distance.

The huge fleet on the opposite side is equally daunting, with a total of 120 aircraft carriers and [-] void glow ships surrounding the magnificent mothership and arbitrator in the center.More reconnaissance planes, phoenix fighter planes, and warp prisms leaped out layer upon layer from under the fluctuating invisible force field, and a huge number of carrier-based aircraft groups poured out of the hatch like a swarm of irritated bees.

Although it is only an advance fleet, its firepower is comparable to that of the main fleet of the empire.

This is the greatest fleet in the history of the protoss. No one can withstand the full blow of the wrath of the eldest son of God. The golden fleet is invincible wherever it goes.

The Golden Fleet pinned all the hopes of the eldest son of God to regain the glory that belongs to the protoss, and only wanted to live up to the glory of the deceased sages, but in the end, things backfired.The Golden Fleet, which has been corrupted by Amon, is now only given one mission, which is to purify everything with flames.

The current Golden Fleet is like a slug meandering through the galaxy, leaving behind countless dead planets that have been reduced to scorched earth.This fleet is so powerful that you don't even have to worry about your own flanks and tail.

Pryor knew that it was impossible for them to communicate with the Protoss commander of the Golden Fleet.All human calls fell to nothing, and every communication request was only exchanged for an attack filled with monstrous anger from the protoss.

He couldn't confirm that the commander of the Golden Fleet would be eroded by the corrupt Kara, which would affect his judgment, or that the fleet's command layer had long since ceased to exist, and the dark god Amon had taken over.

If so, the enemy could make mistakes.

The moment the advance fleet of the Golden Fleet appeared in Torrenis, the two sides observed the enemy fleet at the same time, and at the same time chose to launch an attack formation and open fire in full force.

Even when the Imperial fleet was well prepared, the Protoss fleet still launched an attack ahead of them.

Upon contact, the Purity of Form, the flagship of the Void Ray at the forefront of the Protoss fleet, opened its gold and silver blade-shaped fluid force field projectors like an open pod.The brilliant blue prism that erupted immediately focused on the bow of the ship, projected with a majestic momentum that pierced through the stars, bathing her magnificent hull of more than [-] feet long.

The shining prism ray is just a slender blue thread against the background of the dark universe, but it falls in front of the human battleship that bears the brunt, but it is a giant beam of light full of destruction. No captain dares to let his battleship be destroyed placed under it.

The Imperial battleship Amphitrite immediately turned its bow, and the prism beam passed between her hull and the Jupiter, bombarding the crumbling Matrix of the Melieg in a terrible flash. On the shield force field, the nearby Ravens and Viking fighters immediately scattered like a flock of frightened birds.

The captain of the Patroclus immediately ordered the main battery turret to fight back, and the compressed nuclear explosion hit the void glow ship Pure State like a star shrunk countless times. A dazzling huge spot of light was created on the shield field.

The Yamato cannon ion beam from another Imperial battleship, the Aeneas, followed closely. This blow was accomplished overnight, directly piercing through the shield of the Pure State and causing fatal damage to its bow. .

The explosion that penetrated the bridge spread to the rear of the traffic tower bridge and the crystal matrix array, forming a tragic dead space.Its ornate bow was almost completely destroyed, and the glowing azure psionic flames pouring from the gap large enough to accommodate a medical transport ship were both magnificent and terrifying.

Even so, the main body of the Pure State is still intact, and most of the hull and crew have not been affected, but it has obviously lost the ability to continue fighting.

It didn't scare the protoss, forcing them to back down, a loss that didn't elicit even a single mournful sob from Kara's thoughts of hatred and anger.

The heavily damaged Void Glow Ship was mercilessly kicked aside by her friendly ships. Hundreds of protoss reconnaissance planes accelerated away from their own fleet like swooping falcons, quickly closing the distance with the Imperial Fleet.A large number of anti-matter missiles were ejected, like rapidly enlarged light spots, heading straight for the eleven imperial battlecruisers including the flagship Operation Flashpoint of Pryor.

At the same time, many void glow ships that had left the mothership's invisible force field also fired together.Those dozens of huge energy beams are far beyond the line of sight, like bright blue laser cutting guns, enough to cut off any small celestial body or warship.

The imperial warships were also fully fired, and the space between the two fleets was immediately covered by a forest of overlapping energy beams, accompanied by a large number of explosions and flashes.

Lieutenant Admiral Pryor's Tyrannian Empire fleet opened fire while continuing to drive towards the frontal Protoss fleet at an unabated speed. Their warships were inferior to Protoss battleships in terms of speed, weapon range, and power. .If the Protoss fleet chooses to fight and retreat while relying on the advantages of speed and range, then the Imperial fleet will be beyond reach, so they must shorten the distance.

But the choice of the protoss fleet was exactly the same as that of the human fleet. Instead of slowing down, they plunged into the dense firepower network of parallel laser artillery groups of the imperial battleship group.If the protoss wants to launch a boarding battle through a warp attack, it is not common.

In other words, the decision of this Protoss fleet was against common sense from the very beginning.Obviously, Torrenis' imperial fleet has set up an ambush on the only way the golden fleet must pass, and has been waiting for a long time.Without knowing the situation of the star field, the protoss fleet rushed out, like a mad bull, just taking it for granted to destroy all obstacles on the way.

As a result, the two fleets quickly drew closer after the battle began, and the distance between the vanguard warships of the two sides was so close that it was unimaginable that the light from weapon explosions often appeared very close to the battleships.

All the protoss and human fleets that had already approached the enemy no longer cherished ammunition, and terrible explosions occurred from time to time.

At this moment, judging from the entire battlefield, the two sides fought fiercely from the beginning, and many warships were concentrated fire, and then suffered heavy blows.The more than 40 battleships of the vanguard of the Tyrannian Empire Fleet have slowed down significantly at this time, fighting with the Protoss Fleet.

Judging from the formation, both the Imperial Fleet and the Golden Fleet are attacking each other's front with the sharpest spearheads. Once they break through from the center, the enemy will be defeated.

However, the remaining nearly 300 capital ships of the empire and all the remaining [-] Valkyrie frigates did not slow down. Instead, they continued to speed up and head towards the two wings from the rear. A fierce giant pincer was forming.

On the other hand, the Protoss Fleet threw all its warships in the front, and slammed the more than 40 warships led by Pryor, focusing on winning this wrestling.

Even if mostly ancient technology, the ion thrusters and gravity thrusters of Protoss warships and warplanes are much faster than the lumbering human battlecruisers.This should be a big advantage, but the problem is that they rush too fast and too far ahead without the restraint of the commander, without realizing that they should cover each other's flanks.

If Prior had been the commander of this fleet, he would have been furious at the folly of his men.

However, although the rulers of the Protoss Empire were stubborn and stupid, the executive officers of the Templar class were all excellent generals, and they would not make such mistakes.

The reconnaissance plane and Phoenix fighter plane ran too fast, so they actually pulled the capital ship behind.These Void Rays were produced earlier and did not have the Molten Rotors to increase their speed.

In the middle of the battle, they were actually separated by dispatched groups of imperial battleships or Viking fighter planes, making it difficult to form a solid front for mutual support.

In this way, the protoss fleet fell into the crossfire of the front and the left and right wings, and the imperial warships that went straight into the center made them unable to look at each other from head to tail, like a big snake cut off from the middle.

The situation on the battlefield gradually changed in favor of the Imperial Fleet. They surrounded the lone protoss warship and inflicted heavy damage on it.

Under such circumstances, the commander of the protoss fleet did not take any remedial measures, allowing this unfavorable situation to get worse, falling into absolute passivity, and allowing the enemy to take advantage.The Imperial fleet divided the entire battlefield into many parts, concentrated superior forces in several areas at the cost of the loss of some warships, severely damaged the protoss warships or made them lose their ability to move.

In contrast, each protoss warship fights on its own, not so much a warship driven by a high-level intelligent race, but a beast fighting a battle between trapped beasts.

The Imperial fleet fought decisively and resolutely. The Protoss fleet could have saved a considerable part of the warships to retreat, because their mothership was very powerful, and the imperial warships that detoured to the rear could not prevent these Protoss spaceships from leaping away.

But what is surprising is that these protoss warships decided to fight to the last moment, at all costs and regardless of damage, as long as they can bring losses to the imperial fleet.

At this time, Prior, who had confirmed that most of the enemy's fleet had been wiped out, ordered a retreat, not wasting precious troops on the pursuit of victory.The imperial warships that could keep up with the fleet tried their best to keep up, while the rest chose to blow up the ship and sink it, and transfer the survivors to other warships.

On the fourth standard after the battle broke out, all Imperial warships had evacuated Torrenis, leaving a large number of warship wrecks in the galaxy.In this newly formed starship cemetery, the number of protoss warships is far greater than that of imperial warships.

After a while, the Imperial fleet assembled.

This is a binary star system consisting of a red giant star that is constantly ejecting energy and debris and a subgiant star that has entered its twilight years and is about to go to destruction in a few million years.The rendezvous point is located between a stable Lagrangian point in the system, and the deceleration marks left by many warships can be observed nearby, which are still very eye-catching against the background of turbulent radiation.

In the universe, such a system composed of multiple stars is actually quite common, and a single-star system like the earth is really rare.

There is no life in this galaxy, so it is not within the strike range of the golden fleet. From experience, it is safe, but of course it is not absolute.

On the flagship Operation Flashpoint, Prior was busy making his officers count the damage.As for the enemy's losses, there is no way and no need to count them. Their losses are at least ten times that of our own.

Such a victory is certainly not enough to weaken the strength of the Golden Fleet and stop them, but Prior believes that this will force Amon to focus on the battlefield here, so that the main fleet of the Empire can go smoothly into the battlefield of Ayr.

After a few more such attacks, the Golden Fleet is likely to send more fleets to sweep the surrounding galaxies and search for Prior's Imperial Fleet.Come to think of it, it's not a bad game of cat and mouse.

What worries Pryor the most right now is one of the battleships, the Allorea. Unfortunately, she was hit by the main guns of the enemy mothership. At that time, the big explosion at the stern of the ship once spread to the engine room, causing the battleship to have to Stopping, the engineer on the ship miraculously allowed it to keep up with the fleet's transition.

But even so, the Aloysia is still in bad shape, and Prior may have to abandon her.

The empire lost twelve battlecruisers in this battle, and more than [-] imperial soldiers were killed or missing, which was within Pryor's expectations.

Among the famous generals in the empire, Prior was ruthless. He believed that as a commander, he should realize that casualties on the battlefield are unavoidable, and sometimes they may suffer heavy losses. If you can retreat when you can meet the pre-tactical requirements, all sacrifices will be in vain.

Of course, this still made Prior very heartbroken.The fleet is different from the army, which is reduced in size in peacetime, leaving only a cadre of officers and an elite standing army to expand in time of war, while the navy needs to be ready for war all year round, because good sailors are not trained in a few weeks of.Each battleship requires a large number of personnel to maintain its combat effectiveness, but it cannot increase too much after the outbreak of war.

There are always people in the Naval Operations Department who criticize Pryor for being too bold and reckless in his combat methods, like a gambler who regards the Emperor's fleet as a bargaining chip on the table, and then criticizes him.That's okay, sometimes even Duke wants to join in the fun.

Their rusty minds still don't understand that the regular formation of troops based on past experience is not effective against Protoss and Zerg, and even the Kel Morian pirates have more imagination than some imperial navy generals much.

Some naval commanders not only command rigidly, but also formulate the orders to the troops in too much detail, writing clearly all possible situations and responses that may arise on the battlefield, as if this is some kind of game strategy.

The battlefield is not a sand table, it is really big, it can accommodate tens of thousands of planets, and everything is flowing. Those who think that they can stand on the remote terminal to control the battlefield think that fighting is too simple.

I'm afraid they made an obvious mistake, this world is not the game world.

Pryor believes that the secret of winning a war is to gather more troops than the enemy in time and space, and to exchange for the greatest results at the least cost. Therefore, it is necessary to give full play to the advantages of the fleet's mobility.
……

Fortunately, the emperor had a lot of trust in him, so he boldly handed over the troops to him, and didn't want to hear any gossip.

This feels... so good.

"General, someone is contacting us." Prior's adjutant Senfa reported to him at this time:

"It's a Leviathan."

"It's actually here, even I don't know the exact location of the Cerberus swarm." Pryor said to Senfa: "Look at what it has to say."

At present, there is only one Zerg leader in the friendly camp. There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys dominate.Emperor Augustus also appointed this guy as Marshal of the Imperial Zerg, anyway, it can't control even a human being.

"My swarm noticed the battle just now." A child-like high-pitched voice came from behind the screen, but there was no picture: "At that time, I guessed it might be you."

"You may not know that I happened to be on the left flank of the Golden Fleet at that time. They sent a thousand warships to chase me, but they didn't even touch a single exhaust."

"So, I'm lucky." Pryor really thought so in his heart. With the addition of the Cerberus swarm that obeyed the empire, his soldiers could get rid of the war of attrition and implement more daring tactics.

In this case, Prior intends to detour to the rear of the golden fleet and make the protoss exhausted.

He didn't know if his fleet established a stronghold in the ruined cities behind the golden fleet, would they turn around and destroy them again, this seemed to be a bug.

According to speculation, what Amon wants to do is to destroy all life in the universe, not even a living thing will be left, but how can he be sure that there will be no fish that slip through the net.

"The two of us are really too strong." Cerebral Worm said.

"Without you attracting firepower, we will never win anyway." Prior said: "Marshal α, maybe we can join forces."

No one can tell what kind of existence such a weird creature is.It seems to speak in a human way of thinking, but the way of thinking may not be on the same logic at all.

A monster imitating a human will only feel creepy and cold when you react.

α also has a cerebrate under his command, which is a mini cerebrum produced by the second-generation master. It is not as good as the old-fashioned cerebrate in terms of spiritual power, intelligence, or ability to control the group.

Up to now, α has trained this brain worm that was called β by the official documents of the empire very well.

"Let's listen." There was a crisp chewing sound from the other side.
