StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 336 What are you doing, Artanis
As Tassadar said, at only 254 years old, Artanis was too young for his long-lived people.

Artanis was also the youngest of the Executors, a member of the most powerful Templar clan, the Achilles, which ruled the other clans for hundreds of years during the Protoss' Doom.

For a long time, Achilles has always been the leader of the Templars, and most of the great executives come from this ancient and glorious tribe.

There is not only one executive officer of the Protoss Empire, and many fleets that perform missions in the galaxy have an executive officer, but they are all experienced warriors and wise men, and the many years they have experienced will eventually bring them to the fore. They are tempered into steel.

Even in the Protoss Empire, it is enviable that Artanis can be promoted to executive officer in his 200s.

As the newly appointed executive officer, Artanis' attire was almost identical to Tassadar's. The gorgeous armor was lined with a dark blue robe that hung like night, and he wore exquisitely made alloy boots.

Except for the costumes, there was not much difference between Artanis at this time and the Protoss Archbishop of Durham in Augustus' impression.Unsurprisingly, Artanis's smoother and more vibrant skin suggested that he was a far younger protoss than either Zeratul or Aldaris.

Young and strong, full of glory.

Compared with the rigid arbitrator elders in the Supreme Council, Artanis may be more receptive to new ideas.

".It makes me uneasy to see you again, noble Tassadar. I have often wondered whether I am qualified to take over the position of Executor. You are the model and expected leader of the Templar, and I am only a fledgling."

At the beginning, Artanis had warned Aldaris that anger would not help solve the problem at hand, but his attitude softened almost immediately upon meeting Tassadar.

In Tassadar's presence, Artanis felt almost as embarrassed as a errant child, his sky blue eyes burning with psychic flames widening in bewilderment like a human being.Apparently, Artanis felt guilty about taking Tassadar's place, even though it wasn't his fault.

This sudden change in attitude caught everyone present and the protoss off guard, and even Tassadar was a little puzzled.In any case, now is not the time to say such things.

"Hey, it's a little fanboy." Sarah Kerrigan whispered to Augustus, flicking her fiery red single ponytail.With age, Kerrigan's ability to be sarcastic and poisonous has also increased, and she believes that it is the dark side of her heart that is at work.

"I understand you, Artanis, you must be able to protect our people." Tassadar said: "I refuse to destroy the human planet because those people should be saved instead of destroyed with the nightmare that invaded their homeland."

"Enough, I've heard enough, what are you talking about, young executive." Aldarius said inappropriately: "We have come to arrest Tassadar and bring him back to Aiur for trial. deep."

"I order you to arrest him! Executor."

Artanis was silent, maybe he had to choose between the Protoss Empire he was loyal to and Tassadar he respected.

"Collaborating with the fallen Dark Templar, refusing to carry out the orders of the Supreme Council to purify the infected human planet."

"Tassadar, you must surrender immediately, accept strict interrogation, and wait for the judgment of Kara's law. You have supreme virtue and glory, and the belief in protecting the people was as pure and flawless as the sun's rays. What made you fall So far? Is it the Dark Templar or these humans?"

"Maybe neither." Tassadar said: "We must not let old dogma sway our judgment. We are fighting for the Protoss Empire and our people, not the Supreme Council."

"How dare you question the divine will of the Supreme Council." Aldarius said: "If you refuse to abide by the ancient traditions and dogmas that maintain the stability and prosperity of the Protoss Empire, then you are no different from a heretic and a traitor."

"Unfortunately, Arbiter." Tassadar stretched out his hands to Aldaris in the psychic projection, and pushed the palms away.

"I will never be caught without a fight." He reiterated his previous statement to Aldaris, his tone and words can hear his determination: "I said, I will definitely return to Ayer, but not As a prisoner. The zerg threat is imminent, and I cannot fall!"

"Tassadar, you really let me down."

What surprised Augustus was that Aldarius seemed to be taken aback by Tassadar's determination just now. Perhaps this seemingly pedantic and stubborn arbitrator of the Protoss Empire thought that as long as he chased here, he would have essentially Tassadar, who broke with the Supreme Council, will obediently go back with him.

"I told the other arbitrators that Tassadar remained loyal, he just made a mistake that must be corrected immediately," he said. "I thought that as soon as you returned to Ayr, things would be back to normal."

"We will forgive you, because we will never forget the achievements and honors you have achieved in the past."

"If you have an arbitrator by your side, you will be able to correct your mistakes in time. But the Supreme Council trusts you too much, and never thought of betrayal, so it didn't do that. Facts have proved."

"We were all wrong."

"I'm not wrong." Tassadar said: "I just follow the teachings of Dawu to protect the weak race."

"Is the company of the Dark Templar part of the teachings of Davu?" Aldarius asked Tassadar.

Tassadar responded immediately: "The dark templar can help us kill the cerebrates of the zerg. The original power of the protoss they use is the key to dealing with the swarm. And I think that our dark templar A lot of the misconceptions and prejudices that exist are not true."

"Don't you believe that the templars can easily defeat the swarm? They still need the power of the traitors. What a shameful cowardice." Aldaris was shocked by Tassadar's outrageous words: "Even if there is no Dark Templar Samurai, we can kill cerebrates too."

He then emphasized: "The power of the dark templar is not worth mentioning at all. They are just pathetic traitors and fugitives. How can they be compared with the holy Kara?"

Tassadar sent back to Aiur's fleet and brought back the news that killing the cerebrum swarm would collapse, but just like Aldaris, the arbitrators of the Supreme Council always believed that the dark templar could do it It is impossible for the Protoss Empire to fail to do such things.

"You have to trust me, the Dark Templar is the key to defeating the Swarm, we should"

"Nonsense." Aldaris raised his voice: "You are already the same as the past."

"Surrender, Tassadar, and we will give you a just verdict."

"I refuse." Tassadar replied resolutely, "I will not be caught without a fight."

"That's right, Tassadar, only if you hold your fate firmly in your own hands, you will not be passive." Augustus has been listening, and he believes that Tassadar will make his own judgment.Like Augustus, the protoss executive is assertive and self-confident, which is one of the qualities of a leader.

"So, in order to escape responsibility, you are willing to fight with us here?" As a high-ranking arbitrator of the Supreme Council, Aldarius has never lost his temper in centuries.Even as the zerg swarmed into Aiur, Aldarius did not lose his mind with rage.

"I would never want to turn swords against our fellow countrymen," Tassadar said.

"Tassadar, my friend, I don't understand the differences and disputes among the Protoss, but if you have to fight them in Altera, the Human Revolutionary Army will definitely stand by your side." Augu At this point Stadu aptly stated his position.

"Separation and division are the beginning of all disasters." The psychic flames in Aldaris' eyes flickered, and he was trembling with some kind of fear: "Since the catastrophe of all ages, there has been no such thing as fratricide. Do you want to repeat that sad catastrophe again?"

".Start a war? No, I will never be that sinner as you wish."

When Aldarius discovered that he could only capture Tassadar through a civil war, he found that the fleet he led could not gain an advantage in the war with the fleet of Tassadar's followers.

Tassadar led more than 20 Protoss aircraft carriers and thousands of fighters, not just the flagship Star Shuttle. The history of many of these warships can even be traced back to the initial period of the establishment of the Protoss Empire after the catastrophe , each Protoss aircraft carrier has an extremely long history.

And what Aldaris and Artanis led was just a small fleet from Ayr, and no matter how insignificant the Revolutionary Army fleet next to them was in the eyes of the protoss, they were not completely insignificant. Threat to speak of.

If Aldarius really decides to fight Tassadar's fleet in the Altera galaxy, considering that the opponent is an outstanding former executive, they are very likely to lose the battle.

For a moment, Aldarius was obviously hesitating about what choice to make. He was not ignorant of war.

"Aldaris is being ravaged. You should return to Aldaris to guard our home instead of chasing me from far away." Tassadar had already determined that Aldaris would not dare to fight by himself.

"Go back to Aiur, Arbiter, Artanis, the Protoss Empire will remain as strong as ever, but our people need you."

Aldaris didn't say anything more, he already knew that he would return empty-handed.

"Aiur needs you too." Artanis said at this time: "The threat of the Aiur Zerg still exists, and their lairs go deep into the ground, polluting the glorious and fascinating underground temples and precious heritage."

"Once I return to Aiur, I will definitely be greeted by the thunder and wrath of the Supreme Council." Tassadar knew his situation well.

After a short silence, Artanis said sincerely: "No matter how unreasonable and deviant they say you have become, I still believe that you are still loyal to the Protoss Empire and our people. Tassadar, you must I will not betray my faith."

"Serandis, order the fleet to set sail, we are going back to Aiur." He turned to the other side and announced his decision.

"Have you decided to give up on this?" Aldaris asked Artanis.

"We have failed, arbitrator." The new executive officer Artanis looked at Aldaris, acting strong and unquestionable: "Unless we fight a losing war in this star area."

"You are also very clear about this. The arbitrators have become accustomed to hiding their thoughts in Kara, are they pretending to be deaf and dumb?"

Artanis is very young, which makes other protoss think he is inexperienced, inexperienced and reckless, but as a young man, he does not lack the courage to defy power and dare to challenge authority.He is the youngest executive, but he is also the most capable.

While Artanis even comes close to humility in the face of fellow Templar Executor Tassadar, he's by no means a weak character.

Tassadar was only over 300 years old, and he could have commanded the templar as an executive officer for a few more centuries.

Perhaps the Supreme Council has never needed a new executive officer to lead Tassadar's army so urgently, but there is no doubt that the arbitrators who entrusted Artanis with the important task believe that he is absolutely the most outstanding candidate, He just lacks experience.

Outside the porthole of the Star Shuttle, Artanis, who is far away, is jumping into the ice-blue vortex reflected by the hyperspace channel.

"Tassadar, I just hope you won't do anything more terrible." Aldaris, wearing a golden-red hood, warned Tassadar at last before leaving: "You have made a big mistake, don't do it again." Mistake over and over."

Aldaris will not hold grudges because of Artanis' tough attitude today. He is not a politician and powerful minister in the Tyrannian Federation Council who plays tricks for his own selfish desires.No matter how rigid Aldaris is, everything is for the long-term and stable existence of the Protoss Empire, as Kas, the founder of Kara, expected.

"They're leaving." After the Protoss fleet on the opposite side finally left, Augustus took a deep breath: "Fortunately, this Artanis came, if the Supreme Council deliberately selects those executives who are dissatisfied with you Arresting you, it will be difficult to end today.

"That's the end?" Corporal Faraday always followed Augustus, and he also witnessed the dispute between Tassadar and Aldaris: "I thought we had to talk to the Protoss government The army fought a game."

In Faraday's eyes, Tassadar is the rebel army of the Protoss Empire.

"The protoss are so upright, they can find an excuse to trick Tassadar back, or force his followers to make a choice between their leader and Aiur." Kerrigan expressed his opinion .

Sarah Kerrigan doesn't mind a bit of moral intrigue, and in fact, she's always been a hard-nosed character from Ghost.

"Tassadar, are you going back to Aiur?" Augustus saw Tassadar lower his head, feeling the other party's frustration and defeat.

"No, this is not the time yet. I need to convince Zeratul and the Dark Templar from Sacoolas to support Ayr." Tassadar looked at Augustus.

"Zeratul would be happy to return to Aiur to fight alongside us, but not all Dark Templar see Aiur as their eternal home."

"You must hurry." Augustus said: "Once you decide to return to Ayr, we will definitely help you, because you have helped us a lot."

"It seems that the Protoss Empire is more than capable of facing the attack of the Zerg, otherwise why would they deploy a fleet to hunt down Tassadar?" Kerrigan said.

"I hope so," Tassadar said.
