StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 698 Ihanli Protoss

Looking out of the porthole on the front bridge deck of the White Star, the dazzling white flash of the Altarion Rift is rapidly receding, and one after another, the magnificent Imperial battlecruisers are lined up in a long row behind. The column, bow to stern, can't see the end at a glance.The entire fleet is brightly lit, the lights along the outline of the battleships, the emblem patterns and hull numbers of each battleship are particularly eye-catching, extremely spectacular.

Below the Imperial Fleet, you can see the huge fleet of the Purifier Fleet flashing orange lights, like a torrent of white-orange flames.

From the porthole on the other side, the huge hull of the Spear of Adun occupies the entire field of vision, but the gorgeous bow looks like an incomparable golden city with brilliant lights.The glittering golden void glow fleet passed through the fluorescent blue matrix curtain around the ark, like golden blue swords piercing the sky.

"An ancient protoss empire that is waking up?" Artanis' eyes widened a little, as if I had never heard of it.

The leaders of the Tyranid Empire, Durham, and the Purifiers all gathered on the White Star to participate in the pre-war meeting held by Augustus to discuss the next battle plan.

There were many people standing on the wide bridge, and the tall figures of the protoss were very conspicuous.Basically, all the leaders of various ethnic groups who were able to be present were present, which is a very rare occasion.

"The Ihanli Protoss may have separated from our ethnic group millions of years ago, and followed the Xel'Naga without hesitation and left Aiur. But no matter what, the Ihanli must have not found the Xel'Naga, They had to stop and build their empire at the edge of our known world." Zeratul said: "Only one thing is certain, that is, they are protoss and our relatives."

"There may not be a few relatives who were scattered among the stars before and after the War of All Ages. That sad catastrophe forced our race to leave the mother planet and disperse in places far beyond our sight."

"Perhaps the arbitrators of the Supreme Council knew of their existence, but they did not make it public for the sake of the internal stability of the Protoss Empire." Artanis hesitated to speak.

In the eyes of the Supreme Council, the protoss who do not believe in Kara are heretics, but on the other hand, I am afraid that in the eyes of the Ihanli protoss, the other party is a heinous heretic.

Ihanli Empire.

Judging from the information obtained so far, this is an equally proud and powerful ancient protoss empire, but it is exactly the same as the protoss family.

"It sounds very similar to the experience of the Tadarin." Renault thought of something: "It's just that the Tadarin found their god Amon, but Ihanli didn't."

"Alarak, have you Tadalin heard of the Ihanli Protoss?" Augustus looked at Tadalin, who was promoted to No.1 among the crowd.

"I haven't heard of it." Hearing Augustus ask himself, Alarak mocked several forces in one breath: "Now, no matter what grade, they dare to call themselves an empire."

Of course, no one here cares about his opinion.

Dissatisfaction was written all over the pale gray face of the first ascender, and he had offended almost everyone with his previous output.So, while staying on the Spear of Adun, the executives of the Purifiers asked Alarak a few tricks in the name of exchanging skills, and they were almost beaten into a pig's head.

Alarak believes that only pain and suffering are the true meaning of life, but that doesn't mean he is the one who suffers.

This is really unpleasant.

Staying on the Spear of Adun, Artanis has a lot of rules, not to mention that Artanis' idiot still dictates to him about the dezine.

Really annoying!

"We haven't seen them either." Colorado Leon expressed his opinion on behalf of all the Purifier Protoss: "The attitude of the Ihanli Protoss is very important."

The strange protoss has increased again.

"Zeratul, didn't you say that the elders of the Ihanli Protoss will contact us? It should be now." Renault raised his mouth at this time.

"Your Majesty, the communication with the unknown signal has been connected. They claim to be a fleet of the Ihanli protoss." A communication sergeant reminded Augustus at this time.

The main body of the Ihanli Protoss ship and structure machinery is a very special deformable organic meteorite, which is powered by void crystal arrays, Xel'Naga kinetic energy machines, and the Xel'Naga artifact "Nebula Well". , clear water chestnut.

Therefore, the Ihanli fleet is like a meteorite fleet composed of countless meteorites.

"Everyone, let's hear what the Ihanli protoss will say." Augustus nodded and turned to Artanis and the others.

After a few seconds, the communication screen was transferred to the main screen of the White Star bridge.

What caught Augustus' eyes was the huge bridge of the Ihanli Protoss mothership dotted with many green void crystals. Its wide deck was made of some kind of ancient black stone plate, and it was engraved with carvings as fine as blood vessels. runes and mysterious geometric patterns.Ancient reliquaries were inlaid on the far bridge walls, and a thick darkness diffused from the shadows radiating from below.

Ihanli claimed to be the last descendants of the Naganaga, and their ships and clothing styles were almost the same as those created by the Naganaga in Urna.

Along the long black stone table decorated with spiral patterns and swirl patterns, the elders of Ihanli sat high on huge stone chairs dotted with gemstones and crystals, their emerald green vicissitudes eyes seemed to be looking down on all living beings.

"Gods above, we are talking to you from afar, the spokesperson of Xel'Naga."

Augustus did not speak, but looked at Zeratul.

This Xel'Naga spokesperson is talking about Zeratul.

Zeratul once said to Augustus that it seems the Ihanli protoss believed him to be the Dawnbringer of the Xel'Naga, the one closest to their gods. —though in a sense, it is, at least the corpse.

The Ihanli protoss are fanatical believers in Naganaga. They firmly believe that the gods will give them wise guidance.

Not to mention, Zeratul was really enshrined by the Ihanli protoss as an envoy.

God sticks to fanatics, this is called a professional counterpart.

"Great Elders of Ihanli, I am extremely honored to have you here." Zeratul said with full respect.

"Anht zagatir nas (Gods bless you), Zeratul." An Elder of Ihanli said softly: "We have just woken up from a deep stasis, and we don't know much about this era. Those Detectors that are still functioning have brought deeply disturbing news that a large number of hideous xenomorphs are rampaging on the ruins of our ancient homeland, slaughtering the living on it with wanton."

"Indeed, as you say, this is a dark age."

At the same time, the elders of Ihanli looked at Augustus, Renault and the others calmly, not maliciously, but felt that human noses and mouths were very strange for no reason.

For Zeratul to be called an elder, these Ihanli protoss must be quite old.In their sleeping years, humans may not have reached the Koprulu sector.

The elders of Ihanli wore thick robes of the same color as their meteorite warships, and the robes were painted with green sacred runes.He wears a picture-perfect, perfectly proportioned crown, and the ends of the bundles of hair hanging down his chest are adorned with beautiful stone ornaments.

The Ihanli protoss are proud of their status as the children of the Creator, and for this reason, they will try their best to decorate themselves and their warships with Xel'Naga relics.Although Al's eldest son of God also respects the Xel'Naga as a god and regards the Xel'Naga as his mentor, but their fanaticism is far less than that of the Ihanli.

If God's First Son and Tadarim have more or less gone astray, then the Ihanli Protoss seems to be the true successor of the Naganaga.

At least, Ihanli is a protoss civilization developed entirely on the basis of Nagar's technology.Their emblem is the Xel'Naga with the faces of the protoss, which is evident.

"Elders, this is indeed a dark age." Zeratul looked at them and said, "The fallen one of the gods, Xel'naga Amon, has returned with endless hatred for endless reincarnation and all things in the universe. gone."

"The Doomsday War is coming, and Amon's wrath will eventually engulf the entire galaxy." He said:
"Everything in the universe is looking forward to our victory."

Hearing what Zeratul said, the elders of Ihanli were not overly surprised.For thousands of years, the detectors of the Ihanli Empire have been monitoring other protoss tribes and zerg, and they also know something about the Tal'darin's beliefs.

However, the God of Darkness and the Sarnaga that Ihanli believed in were clearly not the same thing.Even if it was actually Amon who came to Aiur to teach and promote the ancient protoss, Ihanli would only choose what they were willing to believe, and naturally separated the positive image of Naganaga from Amon.

In the early days, Amon and his followers came to Aiur and taught the ancient protoss. They really walked among the protoss as xel'naga, creator and true god, which is why the protoss regarded xel'naga as a god .

"The army of the God of Darkness is extremely terrifying." Another Elder Yihanli, who was shrouded in shadow, said, "And only gods can fight against gods. It is the most reasonable reason for mortals who are mortal to disobey gods."

"Zeratul, have the gods given you any enlightenment?"

The difference can be seen from here. The Naganaga prophecy mentioned by Zeratul is sometimes too crazy even in the eyes of his compatriots, but Ihanli believes it unconditionally.

Wow, this is an oracle, it has to be confessed.

"The gods no longer exist." Zeratul still told the truth.Anyway, Yihanli will know what happened in Urna sooner or later, so it is better to tell the truth, otherwise there may be gaps.

The elders of Ihanli were silent after hearing the words, waiting for Zeratul to continue.

They never found the Xel'Naga, and they were discouraged, thinking that the gods had gone and would never return.

Zeratul sighed, and recounted the prophecy in the Hall of Revelation in Urna and the scenes in the Hall of Ascension.

I don't know if it was an illusion, Augustus felt that the eyes of these Ihanli protoss were straight when they heard Urna, and when Zeratul talked about the death of Xel'Naga, there was another burst of shock and anger. A painful, gasping sound.

But Protoss doesn't seem to have eyes, nor does it need to breathe.

"impossible."

"The gods are eternal!"

"What blasphemy."

The reaction from the Ihanli protoss can be described as furious.

"Tsk tsk, how pitiful." Alarak laughed: "Let them also feel the pain of Tadalin's betrayal by God, hahahaha!"

"It's really vicious, Tadarin." Renault said in his heart that you should be a human being.

"Shut up, Alarak." Artanis is an extraordinary leader, but if you are gentle with Alarak, he will only see you as weak and deceitful.

"But we still have a glimmer of hope." After seeing the horrors in the Ascension Hall of Urna, Zeratul thought that even he would feel disheartened.

But after being reminded by Augustus, Zeratul realized that since the Xel'Naga in Urna had long since died, the voice of goodwill that had given him inspiration before was obviously still alive in some form.

Augustus even firmly believed that it must be a Naganaga who was still alive.

I don't know where he got his confidence from.

"The prophecy I have received before is most likely from a xel'nagar imprisoned in the void by Amon, the last god who still has good intentions for creation." Zeratul said:
"The last god."

"Zeratul, you have brought us too many surprises." After a long silence, the oldest Elder Ihanli finally said: "Even if we believe in you, we must go to Ur, the abode of the gods. Na confirms it's true—"

"After that, we will gather the fleets that are sleeping all over the universe, exile Amon, and rescue our god."

"The judgment is coming."

Augustus heard that the protoss are always like this, as if they only need to build a navigation mark, and they can conjure a fleet from some forgotten and unknown corner.This is the foundation of an ancient civilization.

look at you.

Earthling!
"."

The communication of the Ihanli protoss was interrupted. Obviously, they still need some time to digest this information.

"Is the Ihanli protoss really credible?" Augustus asked Zeratul after the communication was over.

Ihanli was going to Urna to find out what his plan was, and Augustus was still clear about it.But anyway, they had already dug up all of Urnari's treasures, and there wasn't much left.

"They are trustworthy." Zeratul replied: "Augustus, next, I will join the Ihanli protoss and further gather the power I can muster."

Zeratul's contacts are indeed very extensive. In addition to the Ihanli Protoss, he has also contacted many famous legions or fleets commanded by famous Protoss heroes.

"Well. Be careful all the way, Zeratul." Augustus nodded.Since Zeratul says Ihanri is trustworthy, that is it.

"What kind of combat power can a fleet made of stones have?" At this moment, Alarak, who had already disliked Ihanli, couldn't help but speak wildly.

"I think their fleet is cool." Augustus commented dryly.

The color scheme of this protoss faction looks supermodel.

"Even the Tadarin Protoss, whose fleet was stolen and robbed, is qualified to say that?" Renault asked rhetorically.

"Creation is meaningless, even the most mindless creature will create." Alarak narrowed his eyes: "I don't need to remind you twice about this kind of thing."

"That's enough, Alarak, those who enjoy what they enjoy have no right to criticize those who have worked hard." Artanis couldn't sit still.

"Wow, Artanis." Alarak snorted coldly: "Have you Templars only learned to reflect in this life?"

"You can't say what I like to hear."

".?" Artanis was speechless for a while, if Tychus was here, at least one word would you say.

"Now is not the time to quarrel." Augustus controlled the scene with ease: "Continue with our combat meeting just now."

"I will lead Alpha Squadron and Artanis to Sacoolas first, and rescue the Dalam Protoss there." He looked at everyone.

"Jim, you lead the rest of the fleet back to the imperial world with the executive of Colorado Leon, and eliminate the rebels of the Moebius Legion entrenched in the Scar of Vengeance and the invading Hybrid Legion and the Army of the Dominant Swarm."

"You may also have to face Tassadar's corrupted gold fleet, try to avoid confronting it head-on, but you must delay the speed of the gold fleet's advancement as much as possible."

Augustus deployed everything in an orderly manner, as if it had been in his plan.

"Tassadar has turned the tide in desperation countless times, and I believe it will be the same this time." Artanis trusted Tassadar much more than he himself.

"We can't place our expectations on the fact that Tassadar can take back the golden fleet from Amon with his own power." Augustus looked at Artanis: "Now, Artanis, you are Durham The last hope of the protoss."

"You will eventually become the leader Tassadar expects, and this era should have ended with your name."

"Artanis, we have always believed that your potential is far stronger than you think." Zeratul also encouraged.

"Do you have any other suggestions?" Finally, Augustus asked again.

"I'm fine." Alarak choked out a sentence, "It doesn't seem to have anything to do with me."

　There is an introduction video of Ihanli Protoss on station b. For details, see the UP master DNvader. This is the real popular science.
