StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 728 Counterattack starts now

In the center of the wide bridge porthole of the White Star, there is a cold, icy blue planet deeply embedded. Through its thin atmosphere, there are majestic nitrogen ice glaciers with canyons, and every huge impact crater on its surface seems like Characters on hundreds of millions of years of history books.

In this orientation, the galaxy's star is nothing more than a cool, dark point of light, a dwarf star.Here, the sun that belongs to the earth alone is just one of countless stars in the starry sky, and it is not even the brightest ones.

Compared with the vast and cold deep space, stars and planets are the rarest things, as precious as flowers in the desert.

Against the icy background, a huge combined empire fleet, like a brightly lit ribbon, connects the horizon with pale blue arcs at both ends of the planet.[-] majestic warships stretched forward row by row, like dots and lines criss-crossing on a chessboard.

The fleet of the Purifier Protoss is located on the other side of the planet, and the huge drone swarm of millions of drones scattered around its mothership Cerbros and the fleet is like a thin stardust shining with bright orange light.

In the ear of Augustus, the quarrel between the most famous generals in the empire has not yet ended.But at this moment, his heart was unprecedentedly peaceful.

Whether it is victory or defeat, it will not take long to have a result.

The success or failure of the war depends only on whether you can completely defeat your enemy so that they can never get up again.

"I've said it many times."

Horace Warfield was dressed in the uniform of the Imperial Navy Admiral, with no medals or ribbons visible except for the Imperial Fleet logo.

Just when Augustus joined the army, Warfield didn't have so many gray hairs on his head, but he was still far from a frail old man, and his uniform muscles with sharp water chestnuts still contained infinite strength, like It is a figure cast in bronze.

"It is almost certain that when the attack begins, Amon will definitely call back the golden fleet and the swarm for defense. Then it is necessary to destroy Al's Xel'Naga portal and the warp matrix on the planet to prevent the enemy from returning." He said go on:
"If we can't occupy Al's orbit and hit the target from a high altitude, we have to send troops to destroy it, including the host of the evil god."

"It's not easy." Reynolds said, "Now Al is full of zerg, and you can urinate on the king worm's head."

"Given the risk of failure in sending a small special operations force, it's not going to be a small number of troops."

"The latest intelligence also shows that the Protoss has dispatched many large-scale armies on the surface of the planet during the previous Golden Fleet's operation to restore Aiur, and now these armies are all under the command of Amon. This is exactly what we will argue here s reason."

Renault, who was born in 2470, is already 33 years old, his hair is still black and thick, and he is in his prime.He is already an indispensable role in the Imperial Army at such a young age.

"I would say that besides the Zerg and the Protoss, there will be a large number of hybrids and Void creations on Aiur." Raynor added: "As Warfield said, on the basis of the original plan , we also have to send additional troops.”

"This is a distrust of Alpha Squadron!" Edmund Duke jumped up, like a goat whose tail was stepped on, and the simulated gravity on the bridge seemed to have no effect on him at all.

"When did my Alpha Squadron ever fall off the chain!" He roared, "You look down on Alpha Squadron?"

"Duke, I really don't understand." Renault knew that this person just lacked self-knowledge, so he seemed overconfident.

"What good is self-deception and self-defeating for you? Nowadays, people are needed everywhere, except for clown performers in the circus." Renault's shoulders were slightly tilted back.

"Boy, I'll make you look like a dead dog." The wrinkles on Duke's face piled up on his forehead in an instant, and he greeted Renault's mother furiously.

"If you want to fight, count me in." Mira Han was eager to try.

"Gentlemen, be careful that the blood does not splash on my face," said Stukov.

"I believe that Alpha Squadron is capable of fulfilling the assigned mission, but the energy buildings that power the warp network are scattered in three different areas. Including the Xel'Naga Portal, the strength of Alpha Squadron is simply not enough." Warfield said: "There is no need to argue, I have decided to send more troops. We have brought many elite legions, just to be able to come in handy at this time."

"If the attack encounters difficulties, I believe that the protoss will not stand idly by, after all, they are also fighting for themselves."

"It has been more than ten years since Al fell, and those warp network and psionic matrix are still functioning normally." Matt Horner's first impression is always calm and intelligent, silent and silent.

Horner is no longer the ignorant kid from Tyrador. To some extent, he himself is a symbol of the unyielding spirit of the Tyrannian Navy.

"I've been thinking about this question before. What if the Overlord opens a wormhole to Aiur when we're at a disadvantage in attacking and we're in a hard fight?" .”

"Don't worry." Duke said firmly, "I'm sure, it must be too late!"

"You promise?" The expression on Renault's face was already very strange.

"I promise," Duke said.

"Idiot, what guarantee do you have, your guarantee is not worth mentioning!" Renault spat out a bunch of obscenities within a few words: "If you are not fully prepared, you just hand over the decision of victory or defeat to others. "

When Duke was about to explode, Warfield waved his hand: "The probability is not low."

"The main hive mind is Amon's tool to enslave the Zerg, and they can't disobey the Creator's order at all. Just like this, Amon no longer has to bother to control the Zerg like Kara." He said: "In that case, Even if we destroy the Xel'Naga Portal and the Jumping Net, we won't be able to sit back and relax."

"When Amon realized that he was about to lose his incarnation, he couldn't care less about the dignity of a 'god'."

"We have no way to prevent the master from opening the wormhole." Stukov said: "We can only fight the swarm."

"But if we can force the Golden Fleet and the Swarm back to defend at the same time, the pressure on our frontline troops that are resisting their attack will be greatly reduced."

Although the star system is ten parsecs away from the El system, the fleet is radio silent to avoid exposure.Therefore, this side has no way of knowing the latest situation on the battlefield in the Koprulu sector, but even so, it is fully predictable what kind of pressure the Imperial Army is under.

The war has developed to this day, humans, protoss, and zerg have all suffered endless losses in the endless wars, but all they get is ruins.From a strategic point of view, only Amon is the only winner.

"Why." Mira blinked: "Why don't we just blow up Al, like we did in Atrias. I don't think that evil host can withstand the naval guns."

"Do you want to start the war with the protoss after the war is over?" Matt looked at Mira: "Even if you want to blow up, you can't decide by yourself without notifying the protoss in advance."

Matt and Mira are already married. This was last year. They held their wedding ceremony in the New Canaan church on Tyrador Ⅸ. Most of the imperial dignitaries and senior generals were present. Much bigger when both were married to Kerrigan.

Maybe they'll have to call them both Horner and Han now.

"Matt is right, we can't afford another war." Renault also nodded. He has a good relationship with the protoss, and he is a pro-protoss faction.

Aiur is the home planet of the protoss, its eternal home and holy land. Even without considering the spiritual significance, there are still large-scale protoss templars left on this planet.Humans don't care too much about this, but the protoss will not do it unless they do it to their compatriots.

Having said that, the atrocities committed by the Golden Fleet in the Koprulu Sector have killed billions, and many, many once beautiful and prosperous worlds have been reduced to ashes.

This overturned the peaceful coexistence of Protoss and human beings that Augustus had created before. Blood and hatred have been deeply planted between these two races. I am afraid that only time will be able to erase all this.

Ordinary soldiers and civilians would not think that the controlled Golden Fleet is innocent, and any words or deeds that try to forgive the protoss for them are nothing but generosity.

"Then tell them," Meera said. "Maybe, I don't care what a bunch of alien thugs think."

"They can blow up Sacoolas, why can't they blow up Al!" Duke also snorted coldly, he is the one who hates Protoss and Zerg the most among these people, it can be called completely intolerable.

"It's better to die a few more protoss than to die a few more people. Don't our people shed blood? Isn't it wrong for our people to die?"

"If you want to blame it, blame their gods!"

"The emperor has long discussed this issue with Artanis, the high-level executive of Durham, but in any case, destroying Aiur is our last plan." Warfield said: "Of course, I don't care about the Protoss."

"Actually, it may be difficult for us to destroy Aiur like we destroyed Atreis. The last time we detonated the high-energy gas in the core of the planet Atreis through the Moser doomsday device, this time it may not be possible. It worked."

"Otherwise I don't think Emperor Augustus would have asked the protoss for their opinion."

"A real man," Mira said, "I almost fell in love with our emperor."

"Thank God, that's what I asked for." Matt didn't bat an eye.

In the current situation, only Mira, who seems heartless, is still very happy.In the case of the continuous fall of the empire's territory, both they and the soldiers below are suffocating in their hearts, which is why Duke and Renault are so irritable.

"Sorry, Matthew, you are still the most important man in my heart."

"Thank goodness, I couldn't be happier." Matt's mouth moved, but he didn't smile.

"Is there any movement on the other side of the earth?" At this point, Duke twitched his eyebrows, and looked at Stukov who was a little surprised when he heard the words: "I thought they would send a fleet."

"I mean, we might get support from Earth."

When he said this, Duke's tone was full of sarcasm.This old boy is actually more anxious than anyone else now, and he can't wait to drive the Norad III to hit the face of the God of Darkness Amon.

But Augustus still ordered to wait here for the approaching Ihanli Protoss Fleet and Tadarin Death Fleet.Under such circumstances, the impatient Duke almost went crazy, but he didn't care so much about the casualties of the frontline soldiers, but he was afraid that Eamon would escape. This brain circuit was as novel as ever.

Speaking of the death fleet, at this time, with the help of Artanis, the first ascender Alarak had defeated the former high-ranking lord Marash and climbed to the top of the chain of ascension.

Judging from the news sent by Alarak, it can be said that he won the victory by himself.From Tadalin's point of view, this statement is actually tenable, because slaves are not considered human beings after all.

At the same time, there is no need to worry about the Taldarin who are still loyal to Amon in the death fleet telling their god, because their new high lord should not tell them where the fleet is heading and who the target is.No one would have guessed the audacious plan to raid Ayr.

Stukov spread his hands: "If you ask me, I don't know either."

"I don't think there is any need to worry. They won't come." He said, "Although the end has come, since the mainland has not been attacked, other colonies must have chosen to take the opportunity to rebel. I'm afraid the people on Earth are also in a state of distress."

"Well, at least I will wait here patiently." Renault sighed: "Don't you know that people on Earth drink tea?"

In the era of interstellar colonization, it is too common for branch civilizations to separate from the parent civilization culture and form their own school. This is not only due to human nature, but also because of the impact of different environments on people.After the previous generations of immigration, the connection between the newly colonized people and the original country will slowly weaken, which is not uncommon in the colonial history of the earth.

Stukov has never been able to integrate into the various factions of the Tyrannian Empire army because he is a native of Earth.

"Where are the proud Earthlings?" Duke said. "Oh, they're a bunch of cowards!"

"Call it what you want," Stukov said. "I'm still proud of being from that far away place."

At this time, Augustus, who had been standing in front of the porthole, turned back and looked back and forth at his capable generals: "Any ideas?"

Before Renault and the others could say anything, news of the arrival of the Spear of Adun and the Death Fleet came.

So now only the Ihanli Protoss is left.

"The winner of the Rakshir ceremony has been decided, and I am the high-ranking lord." Upon arriving at the bridge of the White Star, the current high-ranking lord of Tadarim said extremely arrogantly.

"Well done," said Augustus.

"."

Alarak's eyes turned red when he heard this, and psionic steam rushed from his forehead. If Augustus said that you are awesome, he might not want Laksheer to stay where he is.

What about coaxing children? !
This human being is especially annoying!
"Artanis, even if we can't wait for Zeratul, I'm afraid we have to launch an attack immediately. The golden fleet is slaughtering our people and army." Augustus looked at Artanis who was coming, and said.

"You are always sentimental, and any weak emotions are just a burden." Alarak snorted coldly and said nothing more.

"But no matter what, I think the Golden Fleet will be too late even if they return immediately."

"Amon! You will suffer the consequences yourself!"
