The giant corporations that started from Night City

Chapter 386: Giant Enterprise Protoss Alliance! The Last Fragment! Expedition World Ship!

"David, go arrange for someone to negotiate with the Darram Protoss and see if we can come to an agreement."

"In addition, all the decisions proposed by Paul have been approved, and the rest of the matters will be left to him."

Li Ang gave instructions one after another.

Since Paul has considered everything, let him do it and just report the progress of the task to the headquarters regularly.

[Yes! ] David Martinez responded on the other side of the hard-light screen.

With such an outstanding subordinate, he, as his boss, can also benefit from it, after all, Paul was promoted by him.

At this moment, the Templars on the planet Bysher have contacted their Supreme Council, and a Protoss fleet will arrive here soon.

Paul, who had also reported the situation to the headquarters, was also ready to go and see the military strength of the Darram Protoss, and then plan carefully how to attack Naion's lair.

During this period of waiting, good news came from the other side of the global giant.

That was the expeditionary corps formed by the Mantle. While cooperating with the rebels to liberate the colonies of the Terran Federation, they discovered a federal army that was excavating a Xel'Naga temple on a death planet called "Shir".

In order to find out what the Terran Federation was looking for, the giant company sent an advance team to conduct an in-depth investigation on the planet Xier.

As a result, they found that this Terran Federation army was fighting a deadly battle with the Tal'darim troops guarding the temple. The two sides fought for a long time, and in the end, the latter gained the upper hand.

After the Federation Army finally defeated the Tal'darim, the Universal Corporation immediately launched an attack with the rebels. Not only did they successfully capture this Tyranid army, they also found the third keystone fragment in the temple!

This unexpected gain directly accelerated the progress of the search for the key stone fragments. Now the Universal Corporation only needs to find the remaining two key stone fragments to complete the Xel'Naga artifact.

One of the last two keystones is in the abandoned Xel'Naga worldship.

The other one was just learned.

At this moment, on the bridge of the Hyperion, Tychus had contacted the buyer's contact person behind the scenes, and that person also informed the Rangers of the latest information on the artifact fragments.

Obviously, the Mobis Foundation did not know at that time that Renault had secretly defected to the Universal Corporation. The valuable information they gave to Renault just allowed the Universal Corporation to get another piece of the fragment for free!
[There is a fragment of the artifact on a planet called "Typhon", but the star there is entering a supernova explosion phase. Find the fragment as soon as possible before it explodes. ]

Attached to the message was a drawing of the galaxy coordinate system.

The intelligence that the Mobis Foundation had painstakingly obtained allowed the giant company to kill two birds with one stone and obtain two key stone fragments at the same time.

"Very good, it seems we have to set off to Typhon as soon as possible!"

Jim Raynor knew the horror of a supernova explosion, which was one of the most terrifying explosive forces in the universe. If it was a little later, they would have to wait a long time to find the fragment again.

Paul also agreed with Raynor's opinion, but the Daram Protoss on the other side was also preparing to launch a general attack on the Tal'darim's lair, intending to take the opportunity to clean up the mess.

There was the last piece of the artifact fragment there, and Paul didn't want to give up. After all, the spoils belonged to the winner. It would be bad if he got into a stalemate with the Darram Protoss over the fragment.

Therefore, the army that goes to conquer the Tal'darim must include people from the Universal Corporation.

After thinking for a moment, Paul finally gave the order: "Reno, the keystone fragments on Typhon will be handed over to you. I will take the others to the world ship."

"I will arrange some more people to assist you, and you should get the fragment as soon as possible."

The Rangers only have this little bit of resources, and once they are used up, it will all be gone. Paul couldn't bear to let Renault sacrifice so many people for nothing. After all, it was not necessary at all.

"You don't need to worry about me. Once you get the stuff, return to the frontline base headquarters immediately."

With this arrangement, the Universe Corporation can gather all five fragments at once in the shortest possible time, and Leon's strategic mission under the deployment of the "StarCraft" universe has been completed by more than half.

All that remains is to negotiate with Eamon about whether or not to continue the fight.

Raynor also nodded in agreement with Paul's plan. Judging from the current situation, the fastest option is for both sides to split into two groups. He also wants to gather the fragments as soon as possible to rescue Kerrigan.

"The Hyperion is about to set sail, and I'll leave that side to you!"

After collecting the fragments, Renault felt as eager as Paul. He took his rangers and went ahead to Typhon where the fourth fragment was located.

Paul looked at the Hyperion gradually flying out of the atmosphere and continued to wait patiently for the arrival of the Durham Protoss fleet. He hoped that they could send some powerful troops to do the job.

The most terrifying beasts are those that are forced into a corner. No one can predict what terrible weapons the desperate Tal'darim will pull out.

The strength of the giant enterprise expeditionary force brought by Paul is of medium to high level. As for other fleets for cooperating in the battle, it depends on the quality of the people called by the Templar through lottery.

The Golden Fleet is the main fleet of the Dalam Protoss against the Zerg, so it is unlikely to be sent here to clean up the mess.

In fact, the view of the Dalam Protoss camp towards the Tal'darim is still based on the stereotype that they are barbaric and backward.

To them, the Tal'darim Protoss scum are just barbarians living in caves, while they have advanced technological weapons and a complete social system.

The battle between the two sides was completely a situation of dimensionality reduction attack.

However, this perception is completely wrong. Although the Tal'darim are barbaric and brutal, their ability to get things for free is quite outstanding, and they have quite a few reverse engineering techniques.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to create large weapons like the Colossus.

If the Supreme Council of the Darram Protoss only sent some weak troops, they would probably suffer a great loss in the upcoming battle!

In order to find out more specific information, Paul found the Templar Tanis and asked what kind of fleet their council planned to send.

"Don't worry, Paul. I have already informed the Council of the situation here. They have promised to send a powerful Protoss fleet."

"I believe this fleet will not let you down!"

Tanis hopes that the Darram Protoss camp can reach an alliance with the Cosmic Corporation. After all, this will help them to wipe out the invading Zerg and crush the conspiracy of the evil god Amon.

Even if humans want to ascend to become Xel'Naga, given their racial talents, they still have to wait in line until the Protoss ascend.

So after comprehensive consideration, humans do not have any fundamental conflict of interest with the Protoss, and the probability of cooperation is also very high.

"That's good. The Tal'darim are a branch of the Protoss Horde. If you can deal with them all by yourself, that would be great. It's not appropriate for us to interfere in your internal affairs."

Paul also nodded.

This battle is essentially a cleanup for the Tal'darim camp. As an outsider, it is not easy for the Universal Corporation to interfere in the Protoss' internal affairs.

If you can successfully obtain the key fragment just by cheering on the side, that would of course be the best outcome.

After patiently waiting for half a month, the expeditionary force of the Universal Corporation has built a complete shield force field on the planet Baysher and left a group of elite garrisons to guard the terrazine resources.

In addition, David Martinez also dispatched another expeditionary force for Paul to assist him in carrying out the next debris collection mission.

It was a space formation consisting of three core battleships: the Dreadnought, the War Moon, and the Long Night, with the remaining cruisers and destroyers reaching hundreds.

Such a large array of warships is enough to deter the remnants of the Tal'darim.

The commanders in charge of this fleet are Marshal Terrence, who is quite prestigious and influential among the world's giant companies, and Admiral Andrew.

Some time ago, it was they who led the expeditionary force of the giant enterprise and snatched one of the key stone fragments from the Terran Federation.

When the newly added space fleet arrived at the planet Bayshell, Paul went to the flagship headquarters and reported to Generals Terrence and Andrew:

"Paul Atreides, the head of the operations team of the Advance Team of the Heavens, reporting for duty!"

Looking at the shrewd and capable Paul, Terrence and Andrew seemed to be admiring a sharp blade. They shook hands with Paul and said:
"Good job, Paul."

"Thanks to your hard work, we are now one step closer to the goal set by the boss!"

The fragments obtained from the Xel'Naga Temple and the fragments on the planet Baysher have all been transferred to David's dreadnought.

Raynor's Rangers are already on their way to Typhon, which means that the Universal Corporation is only one level away from collecting the keystones, namely the Tal'darim!
"You two's actions are also crucial. If you hadn't captured the third fragment, our collection plan wouldn't have made such rapid progress."

Paul also had a business exchange with the other party.

Andrew shook his head and said with a smile: "It's a pity that a blind cat has caught a dead mouse. We just wanted to capture a group of Terran Federation troops."

"Who would have thought that they were also looking for key fragments? Thanks to the boss's advance planning, it seems that there are many forces that want to collect this thing!"

Paul frowned and nodded. Since the Universal Corporation began to take action, other forces have also begun to emerge rapidly, and everyone's goal is the same.

That is to collect key stone fragments!
Although the first force to take action was the Mobis Foundation, the Universal Corporation intercepted the Rangers and got two fragments for free.

Add to that the fragments that Marshal Terrence seized from the federal army, a total of three fragments. It is estimated that Narud, the boss behind the Mobis Foundation, will be furious.

Now, the fleet of the Cosmic Corporation has been assembled and is waiting to see what happens on the side of the Protoss Darram.

Fortunately, the Protoss didn't make Paul and his team wait too long. Not long after Terrence and Andrew arrived, a dazzling mothership warped in. Following closely behind were two Protoss aircraft carriers and void rays, as well as no less than 50 storm battleships, pirate ships and other frigates.

Different from the concise, clean and neat industrial shapes of the giant corporations in the universe, the Protoss' aircraft carriers and battleships tend to be rounded and smooth in appearance, rather than being cold and violent weapons.

It's more like a spaceship that exists in fairy tales.

However, this is indeed a specific style unique to the Protoss civilization. Their spaceships seem to violate many scientific taboos, but inexplicably have quite good structural strength and performance.

In addition, the Protoss have mastered extremely special psychic shield technology, which makes the combat capability of their warships far stronger than what the giant enterprises have observed.

From the appearance, the Protoss' aircraft carrier does not seem to be equipped with any huge cannons, but in fact that is because the Protoss has left most of the ship's space for unmanned interceptor fleets.

Their main attack methods can basically be summarized into two types: the first is main gun bombardment, and the second is harassment by a large number of interceptor aircraft.

As for other secondary guns, close defense guns, long-range attack artillery arrays and the like, they are not often used and are just there to add fuel to the fire.

Soon, this seemingly huge Protoss fleet slowly came to rest in the orbit above the planet Baysher.

After seeing the opponent's warship configuration, Paul couldn't help but frown. The fleet sent by the Durham Protoss actually only had one core mothership.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

The remaining aircraft carriers and storm battleships are not numerous either, and it doesn't look like they are here to participate in the decisive battle.

You know, according to the information from the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Worlds Base, the Tal'darim troops under Naion possess powerful weapons such as the Mother Ship.

In addition, the other party also occupies an abandoned Xel'Naga world ship, and there is no guarantee whether there will be some terrifying heavyweight devices on it.

In order to ensure the smooth operation of the operation, the expeditionary force formed by this universal giant can be called an enhanced legion, while the troops of the Daram Protoss are at most the size of an ordinary expeditionary force.

"It seems that we have to handle this combat operation on our own. We can't rely on these Protoss."

Paul sighed helplessly.

The high-ranking members of Darram's council were too arrogant and completely unaware of the threat posed by the Tal'darim. It seemed that this race still had a long way to go before it could ascend to become the Xel'Naga.

"Do we need to send another legion to headquarters?"

Andrew asked, Paul had absolute authority here, as long as he gave the order, David could equip him with other space forces at any time.

"Time waits for no one. It's too late to temporarily transfer troops now. The manpower we have should be enough. At least we should have no problem snatching the key fragments."

Paul relied on his accurate intuition to predict the next move. Thanks to the development of the spice's abilities, his judgment of future trends has always been accurate.

If there were no enhanced expeditionary corps of the Cosmic Corporation, these Protoss fleets would go looking for trouble with the Tal'darim and might be annihilated by the other side in return.

At this time, Lukia, the executive officer of the Darram fleet, has landed on the planet Baysher, and Paul, Tanis and other Templars are waiting for its arrival.

As soon as Lugia landed on the planet Bysher, he saw the people who came to greet him and subconsciously showed a look of disgust: "What a disgusting smell. Only the Tal'darim would live here for a long time."

The terazine gas on the planet Bysher is to the Darram Protoss what cigarettes are to the human world, and can be smelled by people who have never smoked.

A normal person’s first reaction is always to find it pungent and unpleasant.

Seeing the long-awaited fleet finally arrive, Tanis excitedly stepped forward to greet the executive officer:
"Lugia, I'm so glad to see you here. I guess the Council has already commissioned you to go and defeat the Tal'darim. Is this our vanguard? It looks quite large!"

Tanis said with great joy that it was the first time he had seen such a large vanguard force, and he believed that the troops behind would be even more exciting.

Executor Lugia glanced at Tanis and did not continue the conversation. Instead, he criticized him:

"Tanis, I never thought that such an outstanding high-ranking templar like you would be captured by those stinky rats of the Tal'darim."

"But don't worry, now that I'm here, I will definitely avenge you!"

Hearing this, Tanis suddenly realized that something was wrong. He was about to say that the Tal'darim were not some stinky rats, but seeing Lugia's expression, it seemed that the parliament only sent this one troop.

"Wait! Are you the vanguard? Did the parliament only send you here? Didn't I make it clear beforehand?"

Tanis immediately felt that the situation was not good. He originally thought that Lugia was leading the vanguard army to go ahead.

But from the other party's words, it found that the people in the parliament did not realize how terrible the Tal'darim were.

However, Lugia still said proudly: "Tanis, the Council is well aware of your request, but they also believe that you are frightened by the Tal'darim."

"Don't worry. I will lead this fleet to help you regain your confidence. With a resounding victory, I will defeat any scum who defected from the Protoss civilization!"

In an instant, Tanis was about to collapse. He had personally experienced how terrifying the Tal'darim army was. They were a tribe that made their fortune by looting.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the most powerful interstellar pirate force in the entire universe. Any force that underestimates the Tal'darim will pay a heavy price!

"No, your top priority now is to gather more fleets as soon as possible. The Tal'darim cannot be dealt with by just these few warships!"

Tanis warned anxiously that he didn't want Lugia to repeat his mistakes.

"That's enough, Tanis! This is the highest instruction from the council. Besides, I am the executive officer of this fleet. If you are afraid, just go back on your own!"

Lugia scolded impatiently. It didn't expect that the once brave and fearless Templar would be frightened like this by the little Tal'darim.

They behaved so out of control in front of humans, which really brought shame to the Darram Star Spirit!
In the social concept of the Daalaam Protoss, the Tal'darim are a rebellious, barbaric and backward Protoss tribe.

It's just like no one thinks that ancient barbarians would pose any threat to modern troops.

In addition, the Darram Protoss are now busy fighting the Zerg, and a large number of fleets have been sent out to wipe out the Zerg.

It is indeed difficult for them to free up more fleets to clean up the mess on their own, otherwise the Protoss would not have fought the bugs together with Raynor's Rangers before.

If the war was not really serious, the usually arrogant Protoss would have no interest in dealing with humans at all.

After hearing the conversation between the two parties, Paul was basically certain that this Protoss executive named Lugia was a person who was just trying to get himself killed.

That Protoss fleet can only serve as cannon fodder in the front, and the remaining tough battles will have to be fought by the expeditionary corps of the universe giant enterprise!
Paul had already prepared himself mentally for such a situation. He had applied to the headquarters in advance to transfer strategic-level weapon devices such as neutron annulment, MD-500 Little Doctor, and Nova-class nuclear bomb.

As long as the Durham Protoss don't mind, the Cosmic Corporation can help them clean up the mess.

However, once this war breaks out, the Megacorps will not have time to worry about whether the Protoss fleet will become cannon fodder. Since they are rushing to serve as the front row meat shields, the Megacorps will just have to silently output from the back.

After a heated verbal exchange with Lugia that yielded no results, Tanis returned dejectedly and said to Paul: "I'm sorry, Paul."

"It seems that the ideas of the senior members of the parliament are a little different from what I expected. They do not take these Tal'darim seriously. We will face an extremely difficult and fierce battle next."

Tanis has never seen the space forces of Megacorp, and in his impression, human warships are very weak.

We had originally thought that the Darram fleet would lead the humans to take care of the Tal’darim, but now it looks like the situation is such that we might end up getting a double kill!

"So what do you think, Tanis?" Paul looked at the other party very calmly. Anyway, they would not be the ones who were going to get killed.

"This is an order from the Council. Even if this journey is extremely difficult, we as Templars must resolutely carry out the mission!"

Tanis had already prepared to die, but it was a pity for the human fleet. There was no need for them to participate in this life-and-death war.

"Well, we will lend you a helping hand. No matter what the outcome, we must fight this battle."

Paul took the opportunity to propose that both sides send out joint troops, and that the giant enterprises help together, but they had to take away the fragment of the sacred keystone of Tal'darim afterwards.

"Thank you for your help, Paul!" Tanis said with heartfelt gratitude, "But you really don't need to take such a big risk."

"We know what we are doing, don't worry." Paul smiled, and his smile also came from the heart.

"OK then!"

Soon after, Tanis relayed Paul's request to Lugia, the Protoss executive officer showed no concern: "As long as they don't drag their feet, the rest doesn't matter."

Lugia's words were considered as tacit agreement to Paul's request. Once it was done, Universal Corporation would be able to get the key stone fragments they wanted.

Obviously, even if the Tal'darim were driven away, the Protoss Daram still had a mediocre assessment of the strength of the human forces and believed that defeating the Tal'darim was nothing big.

And Lugia only allowed Paul to come along because he rescued those Templars.

But no matter what, at least Paul got the nod of permission from the Durham Protoss. If they win the battle, there will be no disputes over the division of the spoils.

If you really want these stars to lower their posture and truly respect the power of human civilization, you have to use your fists to speak!

Not long after, after reorganizing their respective troops, this joint fleet of humans and Protoss officially set out from the planet Baysher.

Both sides will go to the Sigma Sector to find Naion's last hiding place, completely defeat this Tal'darim army, and capture the last keystone fragment!
