Stellaris from the Automata Era

"If you don't mind, you can come over to my place. There are many things I need to discuss with you in person."

Such words immediately made Renault's face look embarrassed. To be honest, he was not a fool and it was impossible for him to trust someone he didn't know well.

Who knows if as soon as he passes by, there will be 500 swordsmen and axemen throwing cups at him.

Perhaps seeing Renault's concerns, Yan Luo quickly added:

"Of course, you can leave now. My people won't stop you. If you'd like to come visit us, you can warp your ship at any time. We won't restrict your actions."

This already seemed very sincere, and Renault knew very well that the other party was probably trying to express that he had no ill intentions.

However, the complexity of intellectual life itself still made him worried, but Yan Luo had other baits.

"I have something else to tell you about the Queen of Blades."

At this moment, Renault became uneasy.

Just as Renault was struggling, Tychus behind him asked softly.

"Did you hear everything?"

"Yes, we need to add another item to the transaction. I want to know about their conversation."

.....

"Sir, do you really want to go there in person? It's too risky!" Matt tried to dissuade him.

After hanging up the phone with Yan Luo, Renault decided to go there in person after much consideration.

In fact, he didn't even have time to think about anything related to the Queen of Blades. It almost turned into his endless nightmare. When he dreamed, he could recall the scene of her being captured by the Zerg.

"Matt, there's something I have to do, even if it's just a hopeless word." Raynor's words were heavy. "Get everyone ready. If anything happens to me, warp away immediately."

"Oh! It looks like we're in big trouble. But never mind, Jim. I'll go with you. I can't let you die before I get my share of the commission."

"Thank you, Tychus."

Renault didn't think much about it, or rather, he didn't want to think about it.

He always felt that he owed something to Tychus. In fact, when the other party escaped from the prison with life imprisonment and came to him, Renault had already sensed that something was wrong.

But in the end he didn't say much.

As he had said, he owed it to Tychus.

After making this decision, his warship quickly moved forward at a normal speed. Perhaps Yan Luo had already given him some warning in advance.

The Leviathan and all the smaller warships disappeared without a trace, leaving only a special-looking battlecruiser with a ram installed to lead the way.

In fact, it was two hours later that Renault and his team finally landed above a planet in the wormhole galaxy that looked habitable.

How to say it, Renault always felt that he had seen many similar scenes passing by during his voyage, and his adjutant told him that his current position was only 15 minutes' sailing time away from the original position.

They had been going in circles.

For a moment he was really thinking, whether he was really deceived.

Fortunately, the problem was solved after another battlecruiser took over the guidance work.

I won’t go into detail about the specific process and thinking experience, anyway, those who understand will understand..

The place where Yan Luo and Renault met was on a planet in the Koprulu star zone, as long as Yan Luo did not want to lead them to his home planet for the time being.

Although the humanoids in the previous negotiations had mentioned the word Earth, the problem was that without detailed coordinates, how could these Terrans, whose origin planet was Terra, find it?

This is just like the Protoss' home planet Aiur. As long as its location in the universe is not exposed, it is safe.

But once the coordinates are exposed, the races in the Koprulu sector that can travel faster than the speed of light will immediately let you know what the process of regaining your homeland should be.

"I'm terribly sorry. I should have come in person, but my subordinates don't seem willing to let me come, so I can only use the holographic image now."

Yan Luo said.

Chapter 186: You need new troops on your ship

"I'm very sorry." The humanoid was still very resistant to the close contact between Yan Luo and the Terrans.

The main reason is that they are worried about Yan Luo's safety. Although they are confident that they can protect Yan Luo under various circumstances, what if there is an unexpected situation?

Forget about that invisible Zeratul last time. He even touched the Earth and didn’t cause much damage or show any hostility. He could be trusted barely.

But even so, the humanoids still spent a lot of effort to disinfect and inspect the earth.

They were afraid that the Protoss might have brought some strange virus or an energy system that humans couldn't adapt to.

They have historical precedents to learn from!

"I can understand..." Renault's mood sank to the bottom after hearing Yan Luo's words.

If that's the case, it would be better to communicate directly on the battlecruiser using the communication. Is this really to lure him into his own territory and ambush and strangle him?

Renault began to look around to see if there were any armed forces with weapons nearby, while being secretly on guard.

Of course, he did not see any five hundred swordsmen and axemen. On the contrary, next to Yan Luo's holographic image, there were only two humanoid lives, a man and a woman, wearing eye masks and black clothes.

For the Terrans, whose average height is two meters, these two humanoid beings seem a little petite, and the male one looks like a boy.

But Renault's hunch told him that he might not be able to defeat either of these two people...even if there were only two melee weapons floating in the air behind them.

As for their appearance, we won’t talk about it. Although they wear eye patches, their facial shapes are still more in line with the aesthetics of the Terrans.

"Then let's officially begin our conversation, but first I need to resolve a problem." Yan Luo in the holographic image turned his gaze, and soon his eyes settled on Tychus, who was standing next to Raynor. "9s."

As soon as Yan Luo finished speaking, Renault felt something was wrong.

It was not until he saw where Yan Luo was looking that he instantly realized that the person he was about to attack was not him at all.

"Tychus!"

Renault quickly issued a warning and wanted to draw his weapon, but he immediately found that it was too late.

Just a second after his gaze turned to his gay friend, the woman in black clothes appeared in front of him with a knife at his neck.

Tychus collapsed to the ground in an instant, and the light on his power armor that represented his life dimmed, but this did not mean his death.

"Uh, I can't move."

He can still make sounds with full energy and doesn't seem to be in any danger of life.

"Sir, the target has been hacked. We can temporarily disable his signal transmission. Since it won't last long, I suggest you get rid of this iron lump on his body."

"I understand. 2B, let him go. You take this paralyzed guy down to detach his shell." He casually recounted an inside story. "Are you Terrans so reckless? Running around with bombs on your back?"

"Bomb?" Renault was stunned for a moment, and then light and shadow intertwined on his face, representing his mood at the moment.

In fact, for many things, he would understand what was going on as long as someone reminded him.

Looking at Tychus, who was being carried away with his armor and one hand, he understood that this might be a good thing.

"I apologize again. I invited you to this conversation because I wanted to find a place where we wouldn't be eavesdropped on." Renault felt Yan Luo had a malicious smile on his face. "My initial goal might be the same, but it might be the opposite of yours."

Yes, Yan Luo needs the Ranger Command to collect the complete artifact and use it to turn the Queen of Blades back into a human, or to turn her mind back into a human.

But after the Blade Queen returned to her adult form, Yan Luo still needed her to go through the process of transforming into an insect again.

This is a completely different purpose from Renault's plan to take the Blade Queen away to live a secluded life after she regains her adulthood.

This seems complicated to operate, but there is no other way.

In fact, the entire Zerg swarm has never been out of the control of the Dark God Amon. He had been planning for this moment tens of millions of years ago, before the star region was formed.

The swarm of insects was put in spiritual shackles by Him, and it was the sharpest knife in His hand.

No, it should be said that the leader of the Zerg is controlled by Him. According to the Zerg Gestalt thinking mode, as long as the leader is manipulated, it is equivalent to the direction of the entire swarm.

The artifact of the Xel'Naga can break this shackle.

What’s more interesting is that the person who developed this method and promoted its implementation was Dr. Narud of the Moebius Foundation. He... or rather, He is a real Xel’Naga in human skin, a follower of the dark god Amon.

All he needed to initiate this plan was the Queen of Blades' psychic energy, which he would use to shape Amon's body so that he could interfere with the material world.

Of course, in addition to this, the insect-formed Queen of Blade also did not want to be controlled, and she tried to resist like the former Overlord.

But Narud never expected the unexpected effects of his action. It can only be said that everyone in the Amon faction in StarCraft is an idiot, and our army is far superior in every way.

"So how many artifacts have you collected?"

"2 now."

"Zeratul must have shown you the prophecy of doom, right?" Yan Luo began to formulate his words. "Compared to him, I saw a different picture. You used the artifact to restore her to her human form."

Renault's eyes lit up. He knew that those who played with psychic powers were all masters of prediction.

Especially with the existence of the twelfth-level psychic fluctuations before them, the physical laws of scientific masters of all ages are as useless as paper in front of them. In the words of Earth, before the discovery of psychic energy, physics was still defined by Newton and others.

Then, with the advent of psychic powers, the laws of the world will be controlled by Newton's younger brother Niu (Bi), and it will be useless for these people to jump out of their coffins.

It’s just unscientific!

But for Renault, this was the best information he had ever received. You know, he had killed his best friend with his own hands for the Queen of Blades.

He even rushed to the imperial capital, Korhal, and killed the current emperor with his own hands.

The typical guy who thinks brothers are like limbs and women are like clothes, but will chop off your hands if you touch the clothes.

"Then I'll take your blessing."

"By the way, do you have any space on board?"

Renault was a little confused by Yan Luo's sudden question.

He couldn't guess Yan Luo's intention for a moment.

“There are still quite a few places.”

"Okay, I have a lot of new recruits under my command. Take them out for some practice. Don't worry, they're very strong."

For a moment, Renault felt that the scene seemed familiar. Isn't it the case that every time he changed a planet, there would be a new type of soldiers?

Chapter 187: Freedom is calling you

In the end, the Ranger Commander did encounter 500 axemen, but instead of being ambushed, he took them aboard.

These were a group of petite women, or mostly women, dressed in black.

Yes, this is a group of YoRHa humanoids.

In fact, Yan Luo's intention of letting Yoerha run onto Renault's battleship was quite simple. He needed to monitor the movements of the Rangers in real time.

Under the current circumstances, Yan Luo can no longer guarantee whether the plot of StarCraft can develop normally.

Therefore, he needs to manually eliminate many unstable factors, such as Tychus next to Raynor.

If necessary, he would even have Raynor captured by the Terran Empire so that the Queen of Blades could transform back into a bug to rescue her lover.

After all, this world is full of too many surprises and coincidences. What Yan Luo has to do is to make certain things inevitable.

Of course, there is another point. The leakage of information on Earth has become an irresistible force. After chatting with Renault for a while, Yan Luo fought wits and courage for so long before realizing that his information might already be on the table of some major forces.

Damn Tal'darim, they didn't forget to trick him.

The reason why no one comes to cause trouble now is that everyone is busy killing bugs. Once they recover, they will be tested in waves.

Therefore, after learning about this situation, Yan Luo must take the initiative to release his own force.

Even if he is not very strong now, he still has to act as if he is on the same level as the Star Spirit!

The YoRHa figure is just right, and the number of 500 is just to tell others that I am here to help my good friend.

What? When did Renault become a friend?

Everyone in the entire Koprulu sector knows that Ranger Commander Raynor loves making friends. From the Zerg to the Protoss, he has nothing to do with any of them. Even his flagship Hyperion was modified with the help of his Protoss brothers.

It's only reasonable that there is now just one more unknown race.

In short, the stronger these 500 Yohrha perform on Renault's battlefield, the more confusing they will be to the outside world.

As long as people outside don't know the strength of the other side's air force, but judging from the performance on the ground, it should be very strong, this impression is accepted in their minds.

Then Yan Luo basically made a profit.
