StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 310 Master's Plan

"I believe you." Augustus recovered from his initial shock.To be honest, he is willing to believe in Zeratul because he knows what kind of protoss he is.

"Please tell me what you found in Char, elder, I need to know the details of what happened."

The words of Zeratul, the Dark Master, are always quite reliable, although in many cases he will only give a little clue first and let others find out the truth, instead of explaining the ins and outs of a thing completely from the beginning .

Zeratul may be a persuasive and good teacher and guide for young people. His generous and magnetic voice and calm tone are very suitable for telling a story fascinatingly.

"He's very powerful. The psionic power of this protoss is colder than a glacier that hasn't melted for thousands of years." Holler knew that Augustus would no longer make attacks and defenses after he knew this protoss.He looked at Zeratul and gave his own evaluation of it, but still maintained a high level of vigilance.

Due to his special experience and personality, Holle never trusts other people easily, and he even thinks that he will never trust others in his life.

"Agent of the Swarm" Raynor said to the dusty Zeratul.

"What is that again?"

"A human who has been twisted by the zerg but still retains wisdom." Zeratul's dull dark purple robe looks even more tattered. Scratches and holes left by bug spikes.

His robes, which might have been finely crafted and rich centuries ago, are now completely frayed at the edges, ragged and worn.But Zeratul's clothes did not become dirty because of this, in fact, they were closer to being spotless.

Even so, Zeratul's eyes, glowing green like dusk, shone like stars.

"Since then, I have walked across the lands of Charr with ash and black rock, watching among lava and volcanoes that raged with heat and storms." Zera's imagery is part of an ancient poem that tells about Mou.

"In the master's lair, I heard the conspiracy of the master and the cerebrates. Originally, I should not have heard their conversations at the level of the soul link, but the voice seemed to come from the void." Zeratul said: "In the process of invading the human world, the zerg are constantly infecting humans on those planets through viruses, and that is not just a part of the process of genetic assimilation."

"Without exception, all infected humans will become hideous, twisted and deformed monsters that lose their wisdom. Only psykers can retain their past wisdom under the infection of the Zerg." He obviously said after careful consideration Out of these words.

"A master needs such a creature."

"He was a human being."

"But after being infected, he will have the powerful, highly evolved body of the zerg and the ability to control the swarm. At the same time, he will also retain his wisdom, experience and strategy as a human being." Zeratul reflected in everyone The voice in my head is low and distant.

"And... hatred."

"This incomparable monster will eventually become an agent under the swarm master, a commander who is different from the brain worm."

"The Overmind is looking for a new agent of the swarm, one powerful enough to take over the swarm when it leaves Char. It is so eager that all the zerg can feel the swarm master's anxiety."

"Doesn't the master still have those brain worms?" Renault asked suspiciously: "Why does it go to a human planet to find some agent? What kind of person can be smarter than the brain worms? When it is not there, those brain worms Fully qualified for the job of commanding the swarm."

"Wait, if the master wants to leave Char, where will it go?" He suddenly thought: "It's as tall as a mountain, rooted deep in Char, how can such a thing move? Don't be kidding .”

"It and its swarms have only recently come to Char, and the Juggernaut's huge body must be able to move between galaxies somehow." Zeratul replied: "After I killed several brain worms, The Overmind is aware of the flaws in the Swarm Mastermind's command model, which is probably the main reason it needs a Cerebrate replacement."

"Oh—" Raynor said thoughtfully, "it's chilling to think about."

"Go ahead, elder." Augustus did not express his opinion on this matter.

But upon hearing Zeratul's words, Augustus's first thought was Sarah Kerrigan, Queen of Blades, agent of the swarm, queen of the swarm.

According to the meaning expressed in Zeratul's words, with Augustus protecting Kerrigan very well, the Overlord finalized the next goal.It is anxiously looking for such a replacement for Kerrigan, a human who can retain his intelligence after being infected.

At the same time, this human being must also have powerful enough psychic power, at least level eight should not be enough.

As far as Augustus knows, there are only three clearly recorded tenth-level psykers, Sarah Kerrigan, Nova Terra, the youngest child of the Terra family, and Sacco Angelini, the principal of the Ghost Military Academy.And if Augustus remembers correctly, Hedge is the hometown of future Ghost Agent No. 1 Gabriel Tosh, but Tosh's psionic level has always been a mystery.

Thinking of the scene where the lives were devastated, Augustus did not want to have another opponent as terrifying as the Queen of Blades.

"Under the master's order, the brain worms Carlos and Nagar's hives have gone to the world named Haji through a newly opened wormhole - a human colony shrouded in strong winds." Zeratul looked at Al Gustus said.

"That is the world of humans, so I came to you immediately, because you are the bravest and most courageous human being I know. Most importantly, Augustus, you have a rare and honest heart .”

"I'm afraid we're in serious trouble, elder. The wormhole. That is to say, the zerg may have arrived at Haji by now." Augustus took a few steps back, entered Haji's name on the star map console, and a series of Data popped out of the screen.

"One of the fringe worlds, the environment is harsh, most areas are poor and backward, and people's general education level is extremely low. But the Tyrann Federation has an administrative center in that area and an army stationed there." Renault glanced at it Say.

"The population on Haji is more than a few million people. It's really terrible. How did the bugs focus on it?" He said: "This planet is still far away from the galaxy that the Zerg invaded, and it is still safe according to normal rules. "

"This is troublesome. Only we can help the people there. But as Augustus said, by the time we reach Hedge, it may be too late."

"Zergs don't play their cards according to common sense, there can be no further delay." Augustus said facing the main screen and activated the mechanical intelligence lieutenant of the Hyperion.

"Contact the Starship Starship of the Protoss Fleet immediately."

"Marshal, with all due respect, do we have to travel thousands of miles to such a distant planet just based on the words of this protoss?" Holler was puzzled, because he really couldn't understand what Zeratul was saying.

Höller has been used to understanding the meaning of words by directly reading other people's minds, but this method fails when facing the Protoss.

"Now our most important task should be to find the Federation's main fleet to start a decisive battle that will determine the fate of several galaxies, instead of wasting time chasing the illusory words of the protoss. Who knows whether what this protoss said is true Yeah, I can't see through him," Holler said.

"New here, I don't see what you don't understand." Renault shook his head: "Anyway, the most important thing now is to save people. Put everything else aside first, Haiji is the next one for us to promote the revolution." The destination, the people there need us."

"No matter what the enemy is planning or doing, as long as we can disrupt their actions, it will be in our interest. The more the enemy wants to accomplish everything, we will do everything possible to hinder him, and that's enough."

At this time, the communication between Hyperion and Protoss flagship Star Shuttle was connected.The protoss exec Tassadar scanned the bridge with his glowing blue eyes, eventually stopping beside Augustus and Zeratul.

"A dark templar." Tassadar immediately recognized Zeratul's identity from Zeratul's clothing and darker complexion. Surprised and elongated and drooping.

In Augustus' interpretation, this should be a complex expression including horror, disgust and curiosity.He swore Tassadar's face had never been more expressive.

"You are the dark patriarch Zeratul of the dark templar, I know you and your people." Tassadar stopped here and said no more.

However, Augustus, Zeratul and others can feel that Tassadar also has a certain prejudice against the Dark Templar, limited by his Templar education and era, this situation in Ayer Protoss's body is no more common.

"Yes, respected High Templar and Executor Tassadar, I salute you." Zeratul stretched out his hands and spread them open, showing his palms, which was a friendly gesture.

".I have been told that the Dark Templar are traitors exiled for their sins. They are fallen people who cannot control their power. Because they cannot control their psionic energy, they caused a storm that swept across Aiur." Tower Sardar is an honest and candid protoss who speaks out all his feelings, good and bad, about others.

"That's true, but now we've learned to suppress that powerful, primal force—the void energy—that's what we use to kill the cerebrates," said Zeratul.

"I will carefully consider your words." Tassadar said: "Dark Templar Zeratul, I hope you are not one of those fallen people who have committed all kinds of crimes in the legend. Your heroic feat of killing the Zerg cerebrates is my change. The sole cause of Dark Templar perception."

"Executor Tassadar, you must use your own eyes and wisdom to penetrate the truth of history and discern the difference between lies and truth, and the great sages will give you the right guidance." Zeratul is a wise and knowledgeable Elder, he can always see through the truth directly with his own wisdom and experience.

"The Dark Templars are just to free themselves from the narrow and strict hierarchy of the Protoss Empire. We unite and help each other, but each Nerazim Protoss has independent goals and ideas."

"Okay. Augustus, tell me why you want to contact me." Tassadar at least heard what Zeratul said: "I already guessed that it has something to do with my fellow Dark Templar protoss. "

"Zeratul learned that the Overmind is preparing to invade a human world." Augustus told Tassadar the news brought by Zeratul, emphasizing the dire consequences it would bring.

"If that's the case, I think it's worth putting aside my plan to return to Aiur for a while," Tassadar said. "My fleet is ready. You can go together through the time and space we have opened."

"I will go with you, too," said Zeratul. "I believe this may be an opportunity to bridge the rift between the Dark Templar and the Templar."

"I have no objection at all, Dean." Augustus saw the Hyperion's port camera suddenly issued a warning, and there were about four or five dark templar spaceships that seemed to be carved from obsidian. sideways.

The Dark Templar do not muster the vast fleets of their Templar brethren, but these warriors are just as important in the battle against the Worm.

"You will always have a place among my wartime advisers," he said.

"A protoss?" Zeratul's eyes narrowed, clearly amused.The dark templar elder was one of the few protoss with a modicum of humor, at least he could figure out if a human was joking.

"A protoss," Augustus said with a smile.

"There is no time to delay, inform the fleet that we will set off immediately." He then said in the command channel of the entire fleet.

"The coordinates of the new destination will be sent to each warship soon. This time, we are still operating with Tassadar's protoss fleet."

At present, the revolutionary army led by Augustus clearly knows that they are allies with the protoss fleet headed by the executive officer Tassadar, just like most protoss only know Augustus Mengsk The name is the same, and the human side only knows the name of Tassadar.

The revolutionary army still has a skeptical attitude towards the protoss, believing that these aliens are likely to turn their guns against them suddenly one day.However, the Protoss' attitude towards humans is still as indifferent as ever, unable to arouse any interest.

Protoss sometimes see humans as their equals, as for other protoss - just like humans can't see monkeys as "people".

"Navigator, send the Hyperion into the Hyperspace Channel." As Augustus said, various numbers and pointers popped up on the main screen in front of him, indicating that the Hyperion was ready to enter the transition state.

"Everyone stays in the accelerator seat, buckles up," Reynolds said on the Hyperion channel.

Right below the bridge of the Hyperion was a line of ten Revolutionary Army battlecruisers, each about twenty miles apart, surrounded by thousands of spaceships.

Six scientific ships as large as Behemoth-class battlecruisers are separated from the flagship. They are like giant scientific research laboratories with prototype bases, full of engineers and scientists who can repair damage to fleet ships.

A dark vortex exuding colorful radiation appeared in front of Augustus, and a protoss fleet shining with golden blue light sailed into it mightily, with Tassadar's flagship Star Shuttle at the forefront.

　New Year is here.

　　Thanks to Ying Si's father for the reward.
