StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 338 Counterattack
No dark templar master could defeat Tassadar in this menacing shadowrunning ritual on Altera to stop him there.

Shadow Road, stop here.

Tassadar has long been able to stimulate the scorching blade of light that blows hair without relying on the psionic cluster. After learning to absorb energy from the void, his power is no longer the same.When passing through the Great Rift Valley in the northern part of Oasis Town, every dark templar that Tassadar faced was a legend among the protoss of Sacoolas, but all of them lost so quickly today. shame.

Each time, Tassadar swayed gracefully while strangling the opponent's vital point or knocked him down and continued to move forward, but in Augustus' sight, it was just a flash of light in the canyon. .

The ceremony will end with the duel between Zeratul and Tassadar at the exit of the Great Rift. Augustus watched it from a distance, but the earth-shattering sound he expected and the fierce confrontation between the masters appeared The shining light did not appear.

"It is said that those Nerazim protoss who travel through the shadows are considered to be one step closer to the great twilight apostle (Anakh'sun) Adun." Augustus's guard captain Faraday is also watching closely Following the progress of the Protoss Shadow Speed, as long as you understand it carefully, you can know what this ritual means to the Sacoolas Protoss.

Young shadow apprentices must cross the path of shadows and accept the test of their predecessors and mentors. After going through all kinds of difficulties and trials, they can walk in the name of the blade of Nerazim.

"Both the myths and legends of the Protoss Empire and the ancient prophecies of the Nerazim Protoss mentioned Adun's salvation: Adun never really left, and when the Protoss faced catastrophe, the soul of the savior Adun will return. Augustus recalled the history of the protoss told to him by Zeratul and Tassadar.

"It was prophesied that a man with the same gifts as Adun would appear again. Since then, the Dark Templar has been searching the universe for such a man," he said.

"Aden was the first Protoss to master both Kara's psionic energy and void energy, and Tassadar was the second. If Tassadar did it, then he is undoubtedly the successor of Aden, the protoss Savior."

"But I remember that the hero in the Protoss myth sacrificed himself to save his people. If the fate of the Dark Templar is true, then Tassadar"

Adun, a great protoss hero, but his story is closer to pathos and mourning.Sacrifice has always been regarded as the highest belief by Templars. They are not afraid of sacrifice, because warriors will return to Kara with glory.

"The Dark Templar believe in fate and prophecy, and we all know that prophecy is a lie," Kerrigan said at this time.Dark Templars always say they have some kind of mystical guidance, but most of the guidance is vague.That doesn't stop Kerrigan from relegating the Dark Templar to the superstitious and god-awk category.

At this time, the sun in Altera had already set, and the light of the stars was also blocked by dense clouds and high-energy gas, and the sky was covered with green floating light.In addition, there is no light source at the position of Augustus, and he can hardly see his fingers.

Only the Great Rift Valley below has a blue light like lights and stars. It is a strange fungal plant bred in the unique ecological environment of Altera. It often grows between the cliffs and looks like a water bottle-shaped wall lamp. .In the middle of the night, clumps of Altara aquarius resemble patches of cobalt blue clouds.

At a certain moment when Augustus looked in the direction of the Great Rift Valley, a bright light suddenly burst out of it.At first, the light was as fragile as a candle flickering in the wind, but within a few breaths it shone like the sun.Even at a distance, Augustus could clearly see this light driving the darkness and even illuminating the rock walls on either side.

"That's Tassadar." Kerrigan said to Augustus: "He released the two psionic powers of Kara and Void at the same time, like two substances that will have a strong chemical reaction when fused, and it only takes a few minutes A small dose can give off an extremely bright glow."

"This kind of light has no lethality, and it will expose itself in the dark."

The Dark Templar will not easily reveal the skills and secrets they have passed down to the present to people other than their tribe members, but Zeratul is willing to let Augustus sit in on his lectures, because Augustus is a man in his heart. A character with a star-like soul.The Master of the Shadows, who valued the inner soul more, would see Augustus as a brother and kin rather than a despicable alien.

Sarah Kerrigan is also recognized by Zeratul, because she has a deep affection for Augustus, like the shadow of the latter.Kerrigan's powerful spiritual power far surpassing that of his peers has also been valued by Zeratul and Tassadar. If Augustus is considered to have the character of a protoss, then Kerrigan's power is close to that of a protoss.

In Tassadar's words, this is really rare among young races like human beings who generally have no spiritual talent. The statement that stands out from the crowd seems conservative, and it should be said that it is peerless.

Kerrigan listened carefully to Tassadar's account of the history of the Protoss Empire, and learned from Zeratul how to control the energy of the void.

The dark templar's ability to absorb psionic energy in the void comes from the innate talent of the protoss race, so Tassadar, who is a high-level templar, learned it easily, but as a human, Kai It is quite difficult for Regan to communicate with the void like the Protoss.

Although Kerrigan has not been able to master the power of the void, her understanding of psionic power has clearly deepened.This allowed Kerrigan to control the power within her with ease, and her ability to sense psionic and psychic fluctuations grew day by day.

As a tenth-level psyker, Kerrigan's psychic power far surpassed that of her kind, and now, she has become a unique and powerful psychic individual among humans.Now Kerrigan's concentrated strength can even crush the armor of the arc tank through psychic power, and lift a soldier wearing CMC-300 power armor out of thin air.

As she grew older, Kerrigan's psychic powers grew stronger.Much to Kerrigan's delight, this allowed her to remain undisputed as Augustus's bodyguard, and would not let the little bitches who coveted her position succeed.

"This light not only exposed Tassadar himself, but also illuminated the shadows in the entire canyon, leaving nowhere for those dark templars who were good at hiding to hide."

Hearing what Kerrigan said, Augustus nodded: "According to the custom of the Nerazim protoss, during Shadow Run, if the Dark Templars who are about to attack the challenger have been exposed, then they should withdraw from this trial immediately."

"Tassadar easily dealt with the remaining Dark Templar with his wit, he took advantage of the rules, but this is also seen as a valuable quality of the Dark Templar."

But now, in the light that Tassadar unleashed, a shadow blinked, and Augustus was sure it was Zeratul.The shadow pierced the light in an instant, but it was just an illusion created by Tassadar using his psychic power.

That comes from the ability that the high-ranking templars learned in the Adun Fortress and the Archives. They can condense multiple phantoms that are the same as the main body, so as to confuse the enemy.Tassadar used the abilities of the dark templar at the same time as he used the abilities he had originally mastered, which is also within the scope of permission.

The real Tassadar had already escaped into the shadows on the edge of the cliff, and walked out of the canyon following the imperceptible shadows.Concealing his intentions, Tassadar drew Zeratul's attention with a few tricks.

Generally speaking, the Aiur protoss are not good at lying, and Tassadar is not incapable of intrigue, he just is not inclined to do so.

"It's over?" As for Augustus in the distance, he didn't know exactly what happened, he just saw a shadow flashing past quickly.

"Let's go and see. This is very important. If Tassadar has passed the trial and truly mastered the energy of the void, it also means that he can also kill brain worms and even masters like the Dark Templar." Augustus said.

"At that time we can try to completely destroy a major swarm."

A Revolutionary Army APOD painted in camouflage turned on its searchlights at this time, and the bright lights dispelled the surrounding darkness.Augustus led the marshal's guards and the ghost agents boarded the transport ship and headed for the exit of the Great Rift Valley in Oasis Town.

When the transport ship landed at the exit of the Great Rift Valley, Tassadar, Zeratul, and Vorazun, the daughter of the Sacoolas protoss matriarch whom Augustus had seen in Sacoolas, were all standing Together, next to them are two neat rows of Templars and Dark Templars.

Vorazun is a well-built dark templar, and the exquisite robes she wears interpret the beauty of the protoss of Sacoolas.

Women are uncommon among the Templars, and even rarer in high positions, and the Sarkuras Protoss are known for their prominent female clan leaders.

"Your success is unbelievable, Tassadar, you have used the power of Templar and Dark Templar at the same time, without either of these two, you cannot pass this trial." Zeratul, in his deep purple robes, was praising Tassadar.

"Hail to all brave men who have walked through light and shadow." Even Vorazun, who was considered distant and indifferent to the templar, praised Tassadar for his bravery.

"Generation after generation of brave men have embarked on the path of the Dark Templar." Zeratul said finally.

Tassadar had also changed into a dark templar master's finely crafted shadow robes, otherwise he would have looked like a refugee from Aiur in his adornment.

"Congratulations, Tassadar." Augustus also sent his congratulations in time.

"I am grateful, Zeratul, Augustus." Tassadar said excitedly.

"The energy of the void is hidden in the potential of our family, and I have never discovered it before. This power is unimaginable, unprecedentedly powerful. What have we abandoned for a long time?" Tassadar said.

"Without the Dark Templar, we would lose the war against the Zerg."

"I think it is high time that we return to Ayr." He declared to his followers: "The stupid decisions of the Supreme Council are ruining our advantages, if they try at any cost to rely on their own power instead of the Holy Spirit. If the temple warriors kill the cerebrates, it will inevitably lead to disastrous consequences."

"After the departure of Artanis and Aldaris, I have been anxious and worried."

"It's hard to be reassured with a group of pig teammates like that," Kerrigan reassured him with her customary sneer, one hand on her waist, a sideways glance at Tassadar.

"I empathize with this. When the Revolutionary Army wanted to rescue a certain colony world that was overrun by the Zerg, the local Federation army either added to our chaos, or ran away under the attack of the Zerg."

"Aiur is our common and sacred home, and it is my duty to guard her from the ravages of the loathsome zerg," said Zeratul.

"Agreed, although I don't think it is necessary for the Dark Templar to shed blood for the Templar homeland, but the zerg are our common enemy." Vorazun agreed.

"I've said it many times, and it doesn't matter if I say it a few more times." Augustus firmly told Tassadar that he was always standing with him: "The Revolutionary Army will fight side by side with you as always."

Since the swarm invaded Aiur through the wormhole, their attack on the Koprulu sector has begun to slow down, and only a few hive troops of the Yermungandr swarm, the Gum swarm, and the Sutur swarm are still there. Invade the Commonwealth world.

Under the protection of the psychic disruptors, Warfield was able to defend the existing planets of the Revolutionary Army with ease. Instead, they had to be careful of the enemy of the same human beings - the Tyrannian Federation.

"My gratitude is beyond words," Tassadar told Augustus and others.

"Tassadar, aren't you worried that Aiur's coordinates will be known by humans, so the secrets will be leaked?" Augustus asked Tassadar instead.

The coordinates of Aiur have never been known to others. If the revolutionary army returns to Aiur with Tassadar, then the coordinates of the protoss home planet will also be known to humans.

"You are trustworthy human beings." Tassadar said to Augustus: "Aiur's coordinates cannot remain a secret forever. Before the crisis of genocide, any help is crucial."

"You don't think it's shameful to seek help from humans." Augustus said with a smile, "That's what makes you different from other protoss."

"Al. I'm afraid it will take us a lot of time to get there." Faraday said, "But what about the other worlds that have been invaded by Zerg?"

"I have already discussed with Tassadar and Zeratul." Augustus looked around: "We have decided to launch a counterattack against the Zerg in the Koprulu sector before returning to Aiur, forcing them to return to Mar Sara On the line with Char, if it can't be done, at least one or two major hives must be severely damaged."

"The swarm master is obviously deploying the main hives to Aiur, and the protoss empire is facing the wrath of the swarm. The swarm we are facing is still powerful, but it is not invincible."

"We can't stay in Altera for long," he said finally. "I have received information that a hive army at the forefront of the zerg has approached the core world of the Federation, Vardona, and the counterattack will start from there."
