The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2116, The Missing Grand Duke of Dawn

An extremely strange void vortex was generated out of thin air, and almost instantly swallowed the two Dark Templars, Aura-Khan and Sora-Ah, and then the vortex suddenly shrank, followed by an extremely terrifying force at the other end of the vortex!

A bright red color began to spread in the vortex. It was a bright red flame. This flame kept burning, but no temperature could be felt at all. This bright red flame danced in the air as if it had life, and the energy became stronger and stronger, and the color became deeper and deeper!

Even later, this bright red flame had condensed into a plasma state! But still no temperature could be felt, and even the ground was not damaged.

Immediately afterwards, a hand in black armor suddenly stretched out from the other side of the vortex! This hand actually grabbed the energy of nothingness directly, tearing the vortex into a larger channel, and then the second hand, the black shoulder armor...

The figure tore the void vortex, and at the same time, the body gradually squeezed out from the vortex. The bright red flame seemed to be integrated with this person, always wrapping him.

As the energy became stronger and stronger, this person finally walked out from the other side of the vortex!

"We are as one!" A voice that seemed to come from the void sounded. This voice sounded like both Aura-Khan and Sora-A, as if the two voices merged into one and drifted in the void.

Boom~~~~~The bright red plasma flame suddenly surged! The black figure in the flame opened his eyes, and blood-red lightning flowed in his eyes. This pair of eyes without pupils seemed to be able to penetrate the void and see the other side of the universe.

At this moment, in this group of bright red flames, the shadow of a star spirit stood. He was wearing dark armor and covered his head with a hood. However, except for his head and palms, the rest of his body was completely made of energy, which merged with the bright red flame.

He looked like a ferocious armor floating in the air.

He just stood in the flames and groaned in pain, "Ah......" The powerful psychic energy spread around with the groan, and even the space was shaking.

Dark Archon! This is a taboo even among the Dark Templar Nerazim.

When two Dark Templars are willing to sacrifice their lives, they can merge their consciousness together, and then awaken the power of the void through a mysterious ritual, so as to accept the baptism of the void and make themselves a powerful energy body between reality and high dimensions.

This is the Dark Archon!

The fusion of the Dark Templar can give the Dark Archon an overwhelming mental power. They can almost instinctively use this extremely powerful power to do anything he wants-such as easily playing with the soul and will of the other party.

However, such power also has a price. The Dark Archon can only exist for a short time, and after that, it will completely die. Even in the short time that the Dark Archon exists, it is an extremely painful torture for both himself and the psychic energy.

It is also because of this that the appearance of the Dark Archon is absolutely prohibited among the Dark Templar Nerazim, and it will only be opened for a short time when they are threatened with extinction.

Facing the current situation, Aura-Khan and Sora-A, two Dark Templars of the Sali-Gal tribe, believe that the situation has indeed endangered the safety of the Milky Way. Because if Tang Xiao's current state continues without being stopped, if he cannot persist in those several different consciousnesses, then what will be born here will be a monster that is so terrifying that it is unimaginable!

Living beings will be destroyed.

The Dark Archon's powerful and deep eyes fell on Tang Xiao in front of him, "The will of chaos... This will be a scar that the void cannot make up for."

He floated towards Tang Xiao, and the huge figure over three meters standing in front of Tang Xiao was full of terrible oppression.

At this moment, Tang Xiao was in chaos, the dark side force was chaotic and disordered, swallowing everything around him. At this time, if an ordinary person, or even an ordinary star spirit, approached, the result would only be annihilation.

However, the Dark Archon remained motionless under such a dark storm. He slowly approached Tang Xiao, and the bright red flames around his body resisted all damage from the dark side force.

His power did not come from himself, but after integrating the will and soul of the two dark templars, he was able to contact the deep void and directly use the power of the void. Of course, the price of using such a powerful force is that it will completely disappear in a short time, and even the residual soul will not exist.

"Darkness... will annihilate everything!" The Dark Archon said, and covered Tang Xiao's forehead with a big hand.

Boom~ ... Even the structure of the surrounding ruins began to show countless cracks. This was an incomparably chaotic force, death, darkness, mind, void, instinct... It was as if countless disorganized powerful beings had exploded with all their strength at the same time. It was even impossible to describe what this force was.

A whirlpool of black and red rose into the sky, reaching an altitude of 10,000 meters! At the same time, the bright red flames around the Dark Archon's body were completely blown away by this force!

Bang, bang, bang... The empty black armors lost their support and fell to the ground one after another. Then even these armors began to disintegrate, shatter, and finally turned into nothingness.

…

At the same time, there was a dungeon on the distant planet Taris.

A woman with mixed skin showing an abnormal gray-white color and wearing a gorgeous mask on her face was standing on top of the corpses of countless Rak ghouls. She suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the unknown star field. Then, her whole body went limp and she collapsed to the ground, becoming silent for a moment.

At the same time, a total of 15 Archon-class aircraft carriers in service in the Navy of the Principality of Dawn, including Tang Xiao's own Red Comet III-modified Rookery Hook-class battleship, all malfunctioned at the same time, and the battleship's control system failed. any reaction.

The engineers inside the battleship immediately began to check, and soon they discovered that those Force-sensitive people who were connected to the battleship as the drone control system and also assumed part of the host tasks had all lost their response. In other words... …They died.

These people were all killed by Tang Xiao and then resurrected using the force of death.

…

On the battlefield outside Abela's planet, fierce fighting is still going on.

In the Principality of Dawn, all the cargo ships used to carry the Torgt swarms have been shot down. The corpses of various insects floated out from the wreckage of the cargo ships, densely packed, almost spreading throughout the entire area.

And the fleet of Grisk Hegemony is chasing after the remaining fleet of the Dawn Principality. In previous battles, five Cole-class battlecruisers have been destroyed, and the remaining two Hells Angel-class battlecruisers and three Cole-class battlecruisers are moving at full speed towards the other direction of the galaxy. Escape.

The reason why these remaining warships did not fall into a tight siege was because those cargo ships became the best human shields.

Although the Torgt swarm bugs stuffed in those cargo ships were the best thing to sacrifice for the two protoss high-level templars who commanded the fleet, for the Grisk Hegemony, all The Kilik insect swarms are absolutely not allowed to appear in their own territory.

So after spending some time destroying these cargo ships, the remaining warships of the high-ranking Templars finally had a chance to break out and escape.

Of course, the solid defense of the Hells Angel-class battlecruiser also played a key role. The battleships of Grisk Hegemony simply do not have enough means to penetrate the main armor belt of the Hell's Angel class with thermal armor.

On the bridge of one of the Hells Angel-class battlecruisers, some B-1 combat robots were carrying out corpses one by one. Those are the corpses of 'participants', people who were controlled by the Togt swarm, but with the death of the Togt mother nest, these 'participants' also lost their lives.

"Sir, the navigation data for the hyperspace jump has been calculated. We estimate that we can start the jump in ten minutes." A B-1 combat robot came over and said to the high-ranking templar Rasdian.

"Start jumping as soon as you are ready. There is no need to report to me again. First we need to get out of here." Rasdian waved his hand and made a sound through the vibration of psychic energy in the air.

After all, telepathy cannot be communicated to robots.

"Roger Roger!" The B-1 combat robot gave a funny military salute, turned around and walked back.

Rasdian turned back to Rosales, another high-level templar, and said: "After leaving the battle, I went to find the planet Tang Xiao went to. This will probably take some time, although Tang Xiao stayed I got the coordinates, but just now I arranged for a navigator to do the calculation, but the calculation failed.”

Rosales nodded, "I will return to Chis Territory and gather more fleets. According to the size of the main fleet of Grisk Hegemony, we need at least 100 capital ships to ensure that we will They were defeated."

"I'm leaving this matter to you. This fleet of Grisk Hegemony must not let them wander around the stars. The number of Grisk people carried in this fleet is unknown. In the worst case scenario, this fleet may have The ability to control 10 or more planets," Rasdian said.

"The same goes for you, Rasdian. At least come back alive." Rosales said.

Rasdian raised his left hand, and the gauntlet of the Sith artifact Little Klesh was already worn on his hand, "Tang Xiao gave this thing to me even in a crazy state. Maybe he is That means. At least, I can’t let his efforts go to waste.”

However, while they were talking, the main fleet of Grisk's hegemony that was chasing after them suddenly changed!

The fleet suddenly reduced its speed and stopped pursuing. Immediately afterwards, the remaining more than a thousand battleships turned on their hyperspace engines and entered the hyperspace channel. After bursts of dazzling white light flashed, they disappeared into the universe.

"Did they retreat?" Rosales looked at the space battlefield where only countless battleships and insect wreckage were left, feeling a little confused.

"This makes no sense. They should eliminate us all here, which is the best choice." Rasdian said.

Rosales thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps the senior Grisk man who commanded this fleet was killed by Tang Xiao?"

Rasdian nodded, "It's very possible."

He thought for a while and said: "We still act according to the original plan. But since the fleet of Grisk Hegemony has retreated, I think we don't need to gather too many fleets to come, just mobilize the existing fleet in the Chiss Territory. Then get here as quickly as possible and improvise.”

"I'll do it." Rosales nodded in agreement.

Rasdian went to the hangar platform and drove his Protoss shuttle to another Hells Angel-class battlecruiser. Soon, the two battleships parted ways and went in different directions.

…

At the same time, Planet Dawn, the Supreme Military Command.

An urgent encrypted communication was sent, and it came with the highest level of authority. In the entire Principality of Dawn, there are no more than ten people with this authority.

Although it was rest time, the Supreme Military High Command responded immediately. The communication was forwarded to Chief of Staff Qi Jian.

A woman wearing a brown robe, dark skin, and a gorgeous mask on her face appeared in the holographic projection—the principal and priestess of the Twilight Covenant.

"What happened? Your Excellency, Priestess." Qi Jian adjusted his clothes and took a refreshing drink from his assistant.

"Immediately put the entire army of the Dawn Principality into the highest combat readiness state!" The priestess said in a very solemn tone, "At the same time, we need to loosen the outside and tighten the inside. We cannot be discovered by the Galactic Empire that we are raising the level of combat readiness. Can we do it?"

"Yes, we have such a combat readiness plan. I can issue orders immediately." Qi Jian nodded and asked, "But...why? Did you get any information?"

"Tang Xiao, he may be missing. Or he may be... dead." The priestess said.

"What did you say!!" Qi Jian jumped up almost immediately, "This is impossible!! You'd better not make such a joke!!"

The priestess shook her head and said in a very serious tone, "I'm not joking. Just now, I lost contact with Tang Xiao due to the induction of the Force."

"Perhaps the Grand Duke is in a more complicated environment now?" Qi Jian still retained his last hope.

The priestess shook her head again, "The Force is different from communication equipment. This induction is very vague, but at least it is there or not. At this point, there is absolutely no mistake. Among those who have established a Force connection, among the Force induction Losing contact often means...death." (End of this chapter)
