StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 296
The azure blue particle beam passed over the base of the Revolutionary Army Alpha Squadron, melting red gullies in the formation of the Tiamat swarm.

A two-hundred-foot stretch of iron-gray fortification wall lay on its side in a mixture of ash and blood, and the tents where the garrison soldiers lived were ablaze.

There was the heart of the fighting, and a long line of templars, shoulder to shoulder, formed an impenetrable line of defense around the gap.It was a brutal and bloody hand-to-hand fight. Massive numbers of Zerglings, Hydra Hydralisks, and Ultralisks roared and rushed towards the sword of the blue psionic blade.

Behind the templars are their consul Tardarin and the dragon knights. The slow-moving golden scarabs are rushing to the most dangerous areas of the battle. The electromagnetic waves released by each scarab high-explosive bomb they fire Even a force field can clear up a large emptiness in the vast sea of ​​insects.

The swarms of the swarm came and went without end, and the swarm of Tiamat seemed like the shadow of a continuous wave in the starry night of Char.There are desperate battles and killings everywhere, and thousands of determined protoss and human warriors are fighting for the same goal.

There were sacrifices every moment, so that Augustus didn't have time to distinguish whether the screams of the dead came from protoss or humans.

After agreeing on the battle plan with Taldarin, Augustus fought on the fortification wall where he was for more than three hours. He first emptied all the ammunition of the Gatling machine gun and the dual 30mm machine gun, and then Electromagnetic rifles, spike guns and SR-8 [-]-shot torrent shotguns were used.

Augustus, Renault, Corporal Faraday, and more than a dozen Marshal's elite guard soldiers fought side by side. They don't remember how many Zergs they killed. They just reloaded mechanically, with the assistance of the Power Armor Auxiliary Targeting System. Shoot, reload and repeat the process.

Strategy and skill didn't mean much in this battle, and Augustus didn't even have to bother aiming, because the zerg were so numerous that a single shot would hit them.In the words of Tychus, it means that when you urinate, you can pee up to the top of the insects.

These days, the best and greatest soldiers are the ones who can shoot as they are trained to do.

Personal heroism doesn't help much here, unless he's a high-level psyker like Sarah Kerrigan.

In the beginning, it was mainly Augustus and his men who held the fortified wall scarred by the zerg's corrosive acid.But as there were more and more different dragons and swarm guardians in the sky, the soldiers around Augustus fell down one by one.

The medical soldiers didn't even have time to treat the wounded, and could only move them to the rear after briefly treating the wounded with the laser wound stapler on the arm of the power armor.

Augustus's manpower soon became insufficient. When the defense line was stretched, the templars of Taldarin came to help, and a large number of dragon knights and high-ranking templars took over the human positions.

"Did you hear that voice?"

At this time, Augustus and Raynor were standing on the fortification wall and shooting at the Zerg swarming below.Below lay the corpses of at least two ultralisks and thousands of zerglings and hydralisks, but many more zerg were clinging to the corpses of their own kind in an attempt to scale the walls.

"They are digging holes." During the firing, Augustus clearly heard the sound of chitin fangs and claws scraping against the metal wall, and he immediately shouted on the communication channel: "They want to dig through This wall."

The Hydra Hydralisks with crimson skin and carapaces and their larger, faster and stronger advanced elite swarm hunters in the swarm gene sequence stood below, their thick skulls stacked with bone shields and brightly colored The crown of his head seemed to be stained with blood.

At least 2000 Hydra Hydralisks and countless Zerglings are gathering in front of the fortification wall, and the most brutal and bloodthirsty killers among Hydra Hydralisks are gathering the bone scythes on their forelimbs.The spine at the back of the head extends about a foot long (30cm) from the shrinking hard carapace, and densely packed spines are ejected from the vibration of the tendons, like screaming bullets.

These dense spikes are deeply inserted into the fortification wall, making a clanging sound of metal impact.In the fringe world of the Tyranid Federation, the bony spikes and even daggers from the Hydra Hydralisk are a material that is also the most valuable collection of human soldiers.

"Old Johnny, throw all the EMP grenades up to Flanders? Can you hear me?" Renault realized something, and walked towards the ammunition box behind him, only to find that there were not many grenades left inside. .

"Damn bugs..."

The last squad responsible for transporting ammunition has just left, which means that there are very few ammunition supplies left in this base.

"When will Duke's men come? Where is the Tychus man?" Raynor shouted.

"I'm afraid they won't be able to come." Augustus looked up at the sky as he said that, and the darkness of the different dragons almost covered the brilliance of the moon.

"Sending a transport plane in this situation is nothing more than death. Even the bravest pilots would not be able to bring reinforcements and supplies up amidst so many Mutalisks."

Augustus noticed that an outnumbered Protoss reconnaissance plane was captured by a dozen Mutalisks, and within seconds the Protoss fighter was torn apart.There are fewer and fewer golden-blue protoss fighters in the sky, like sunlight obscured by clouds.

At this time, the protoss dragon knights around Augustus gave strong support, and their phase tearing cannons swept across a row of Hydra Hydralisks, smashing them into pieces.

Beside Augustus, a high-ranking templar dressed in purple sacrificial robes and golden armor moved a few steps forward.The blue light in the eyes of the high-ranking templar shone even brighter. The powerful spiritual energy created a terrifying ripple of spiritual energy in the densely packed Hydralisk wave, tearing apart hundreds of zerg in an instant.

Protoss was born with psychics when they were still primitive. Every member of the group is a true "psychic". fatal.

If the protoss can't pass through the spiritual ripples that restrain their own will, then the uncontrolled psionic energy may even evolve into a terrible storm sweeping the planet.It is precisely because of this lesson that every protoss is required to suppress their own psionic powers when they are young, and Kara is the ultimate destination of this appeal.

The high-ranking templars in Kara's ranks among the templars are the most powerful psykers. They have mastered the ability to use this power through centuries of penance, and can channel their own spirits. energy.

A High Templar can transform a series of small mental ripples into a sweeping storm.

In an instant, countless zerg corpses, carapaces, and blood were swept into the air by the psychic storm and then fell down one after another. All the zerg covered by it were scorched black and torn apart by the scorching wind-like psychic storm.The extremely hot skin covered the zerg's body, burning them alive.

Psionic energy surged through the bodies of the High Templars, making them seem like shining blue stars.

Even the little energy overflowing around the high-level templar made Augustus feel dangerous, and he also knew that the protoss high-level templar was far more than just being able to create a psionic storm.

Psykers like Kerrigan can already use psionic powers from ten yards away to smear a person's brain or cause them to die from intracranial hemorrhage, and Augustus doesn't even believe in high-level saints. The samurai can't do it.

As far as humans are concerned, the higher the level of psionic power, the more "superpowers" they have, including shape-shifting, creating flames, and even passing through walls like ghosts-of course, this kind of similar The ability can only be seen on psykers and extremely special individuals with a PSI level above 8.

The high-ranking templar has been using his power carefully, making sure to use it at the most critical time every time.As the highest ranking commander here, he is also closely watching the situation on the entire battlefield.

The behavior of the zerg digging tunnels under the human fortification walls also attracted the attention of the high-ranking templar, and he immediately ordered the dragon knights to concentrate their fire on the zerg who were digging.

In the past, any fortress walls built on the ground could not effectively stop the attack of the swarm, because it only took a while for them to dig through the entire surface.

And what can form a solid land in the magma lakes and rivers of the Burning Land is the hardest and densest volcanic rock, and even the tunnel worm network of the Zerg is difficult to satisfactorily excavate in the dead zone of magma lakes. Connecting various worm ways, this is also the reason why human defenses can work.

Alpha Squadron's new Alloy Harbor fortification wall panels penetrated deep beneath the thick layers of ash, embedded in the hard volcanic rock, and the base was practically close to being a real fortress.

But these fortification walls can't last long, and even if the foundation here is difficult for the zerg to dig, it is only a relative term.

"When will those dark templars kill even a brain worm." The thunderous words of the high-ranking templar rang in the minds of Augustus and Raynor.

"They're too slow, we've sacrificed too many Sons of Adun for you and their promises," he said. "Is this a .lie?"

"You got the point." Reynolds replied between changing guns: "But we can only trust the Dark Templar, they are the key to breaking the game."

"You also saw that a protoss templar can casually slaughter hundreds of zerg, but Char's zerg hatchery can easily make a thousand when he kills these zerg." He said. Say.

"As long as one brain worm dies, the Zerg in a hive will be scrapped."

"I hope so," said the High Templar. "Then prove it to us."

"I suspect it's a conspiracy, a plot by the Dark Templar to frame and kill us."

This is not because the high-ranking templar harbors malice towards the dark templar, the fact is that he always doubts the motives of Zeratul and others, thinking that they are full of malice against himself.Because every El Protoss born after Arden's ascension was taught that the Dark Templars were evil "terrorists" who tried to subvert Kara.

"I can only say that believing in the Dark Templar is the only reason I am standing here now." Augustus said to the High Templar: "Or, in the war with the Zerg, the Dark Templar More important than a fleet."

At this moment, Augustus also put down the gun in his hand, and felt a burst of exhaustion in this moment.As a living person, even Augustus sometimes wondered why he had to work so hard to come to Char, the hell on earth.

But as long as he thinks of his family, Kerrigan, his loyal followers and their families, their family members, and even the survival of the entire human race, Augustus does not feel that what he is doing is in vain.

While he was speaking, a miserable psychic cry came from the southeast direction of Augustus and the others. This cry caused a sad resonance among the Tiamat swarm in front of the fortification wall.They weren't mourning, the cerebrates of the Tiamat swarm were just genuinely angry.

The Zerg became more berserk, they frantically attacked the protoss templar, and did not retreat because of the mournful cry just now.The furious Tiamat swarm swamped several zealot squads and tore them apart in the blink of an eye. Blue light soared into the sky, as if it was a soaring soul.

"Zeratul and the others succeeded!" Renault already had experience with this: "I knew it could be done!"

"Dark Templar. This time they did a good deed." The high-ranking Templar felt more intuitive about the whining of the cerebrate, so he reluctantly said.

"Just this time."

The location of this brain worm must not be far from here, so that they could hear its whine released with extremely strong spiritual power before it died.In front of the dark templar who is good at assassination, the brain worm is as weak as a child.

Before Augustus could rejoice, he felt a chilling pain in his mind, and a shining green crystal automatically popped out from the storage unit on his power armor chest, projecting an image in front of him.

"It's the contact crystal Zeratul gave you." Renault remembered.

"Augustus, my Dark Templars and I killed Ortha, the Lord of the Deep Purple Nightmare Swarm, and a newborn brain worm." Zeratul's head flashed past.

"It's not just one, Zeratul is so beautiful!" Renault said, "How did you do it?"

"The cerebrates are so focused on their race on the front line and their spiritual connection to the Overmind that they ignore the threat that is close at hand," Zeratul said.

"You taught the master and the cerebrum a good lesson." Raynor said, "Well done, dark templar."

"Thank you..." Zeratul always used words in his words: "I must warn you, Augustus, the army of the master is approaching."

"I'm listening, Zeratul." Augustus nodded.

"After completely cutting off the mental link between these cerebrates and the master, I briefly connected with the master's will again... I felt...fear and anger." He said.

"The zerg are the offspring of all the cerebrates, and the cerebrates are the children of the master. The entire swarm obeys the master. The master is like the father of all the cerebrates, and the death of each cerebrate will make its power suffer. damage."

"The swarm is angry, wary of their vengeance."

　Thanks for the support!
