StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Looking out of the portholes of the White Star's forward bridge deck, the dazzling white flash of the Otarian Rift was rapidly retreating, with one magnificent Imperial battlecruiser after another forming a long row behind it. Column, the bow of the ship is connected to the stern of the ship, with no end as far as the eye can see. The entire fleet was brightly lit, and the lights along the outline of the battleships, as well as the ship emblems and hull numbers of each battleship, were particularly eye-catching and spectacular.

Below the Imperial fleet, one can see the Purifier fleet's huge fleet with flashing orange lights, like a torrent of white-orange flames.

Looking from the porthole on the other side, the huge hull of the Spear of Adun occupies the entire field of view, but the gorgeous bow is like an incomparable golden city with bright lights. The fleet of golden void glow ships passed through the fluorescent blue matrix curtain around the ark ship, like golden and blue swords piercing the sky.

"An ancient protoss empire that is awakening?" Artanis's eyes widened a bit, as if I had never heard of it before.

Various leaders from the Tyranid Empire, Duram, and Purifiers gathered on the White Star to attend a 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 all ethnic groups who could be present were present, and this grand occasion was very rare.

"The Ihanri stars may have separated from our group millions of years ago and followed the Xel'Naga away from Aiur without hesitation. But in any case, the Ihan'ri must not have found the Xel'Naga. They had no choice but to stop at the very edge of our known world and establish their empire." Zeratul said: "The only thing that can be confirmed is that they are the protoss and our kin."

"Perhaps there are not a few relatives who were scattered among the stars before and after the Eternal War. That sad catastrophe forced our tribe to leave our home star and dispersed in places beyond the reach of our eyes."

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

In the eyes of the Supreme Council, the protoss who do not believe in Kara are all heretics, but conversely, in the eyes of the Ihanli protoss, they are heinous heretics.

Ihanli Empire.

Judging from the information obtained so far, this is an equally arrogant and powerful ancient star spirit empire, which is exactly the same as the star spirit clan's consistent temperament.

"It sounds very similar to the experience of the Tal'darin." Renault thought of something: "It's just that the Tal'darin found their god Amon, but Ihanri did not."

"Aranak, have you Tal'darin ever heard of the Ihanri star spirit?" Augustus looked at the first Tal'darin to be promoted among the crowd.

"Never heard of it." Hearing Augustus ask himself, Alarak mocked several forces in one breath: "Now, no matter what level, 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 Ascendant. His previous verbal abuse had offended almost everyone. So, while staying on the Spear of Adun, the Purifiers' executives asked Alarak for a few tricks in the name of comparing skills, and they were almost beaten into pig heads.

Alarak believes that only pain and suffering are the true meaning of life, but that does not mean that he is the one who suffers from pain and suffering.

This is really unpleasant.

Staying on the Spear of Adon, Artanis had too many rules, not to mention the idiot Artanis was still telling him about taking terazine.

Really annoying!

"We haven't seen them either." Coralion expressed his opinion on behalf of all the Purifier protoss: "The attitude of the Ihanli protoss is crucial."

The number of strange star spirits has increased again.

"Zeratu, didn't you say that the elders of Ihanli Star Spirit will contact us? It should be now." Renault mentioned at this time.

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

The main body of the Ihanli protoss ships and structure machinery is a very special deformable organic meteorite, powered by the void crystal array, the Xel'Naga kinetic energy machine and the Xel'Naga artifact "Well of Nebula". , with clear water chestnuts.

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

"Everyone, let us listen to what the Ihanri stars will say." Augustus nodded, turned to Artanis and 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 Ihanri Protoss Mothership dotted with many green void crystals. Its wide deck was made of some kind of ancient black stone plate, with fine carvings like blood vessels on it. runes and mysterious geometric patterns. An ancient reliquary is inlaid on the far end of the bridge wall, and the rich darkness spreads from the shadows radiating below.

The Ihanri claim to be the last descendants of the Xel'Naga, and their ships and clothing styles are almost identical to the Xel'Naga creations in Urna.

Along the long black stone table decorated with spiral patterns and swirls, the elders of Ihanli sat on huge stone chairs decorated with gems and crystals. Their emerald green eyes seemed to be looking down at all living things.

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

Augustus said nothing and looked at Zeratul.

This Xel'Naga spokesperson is talking about Zeratul.

Zeratul once told Augustus that it seemed that the Ehanri Aspects believed that he was the Dawnbringer of the Xel'Naga, the one closest to their gods. ——Although in a sense, it is true, at least the corpse.

The Ihanri Protoss are fanatical believers of the Xel'Naga, who firmly believe that the gods will provide them with wise guidance.

Not to mention, Zeratul is really worshiped as a god by the Ihanri star spirit.

A magician versus a fanatical believer, this is called professional counterparty.

"Great Ihanri elders, I am extremely honored by your arrival." Zeratul said with respect.

"Anht zagatir nas (Gods bless you), Zeratul." An Ihanli elder said softly: "We have just woken up from a deep state of stasis, and we still don't know much about this era. Those who Detectors that are still working have brought deeply disturbing news that a large number of hateful alien creatures are wreaking havoc on the ruins of our ancient homeland, slaughtering the creatures above."

"It's true as you said, this is a dark age."

At the same time, the elders of Ihanli looked at Augustus, Renault and others calmly. They didn't mean anything malicious, but they just thought that human noses and mouths were very strange.

For Zeratul to be considered an elder, these Ehanri protoss must also be quite old. During their sleeping years, humans may not have reached the Koprulu sector yet.

The Ihanri elders wore thick robes of the same color as their meteorite warships, with green sacred runes painted on them. He wears a beautifully proportioned crown, and the ends of his hair hanging down to his chest are decorated with many beautiful stone ornaments.

The Ehanri protoss are proud of their status as children of the Creator, and for this reason, they will do their best to decorate themselves and their warships with xel'naga relics. Although the eldest son of the god of El also respects the Xel'Naga as a god and regards the Xel'Naga as his mentor, their fanaticism is far less than that of the Ihanri.

If the Firstborn Son of God and Tal'darin have more or less gone astray, then the Ihanri Protoss seems to be the true successor of the Xel'Naga.

At least, Ihanli is a protoss civilization developed entirely based on Xel'Naga technology. Their emblem is the Xel'Naga with the face of the protoss, which is evident from this.

"Elders, this is indeed a dark age." Zeratul looked at them and said: "The fallen among the gods, Xel'Naga Aemon, with endless hatred for endless reincarnation and all things in the universe, he has returned. ”

"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."

The elders of Ihanli did not appear overly surprised when they heard what Zeratul said. For thousands of years, Ihanri Empire's detectors have been monitoring other protoss tribes and zerg, and have some knowledge of the Tal'darim's faith.

However, the God of Darkness and the Xel'Naga that Ihanli believed in were obviously not the same thing. Even if it was actually Amon who came to Aiur to teach and promote the ancient star spirits, Ihanri would only choose what they wanted to believe, and naturally separate the positive image of Xel'Naga 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 the Xel'Naga, the Creator and the true god. This is why the protoss regarded the xel'naga as gods. .

"The army of the God of Darkness is extremely terrifying." Another elder Yihanli, who was shrouded in shadows, said: "Only gods can resist gods. How can a mortal mortal disobey the gods? This is the truth."

"Zeratu, have the gods given any revelation?"

The difference can be seen from here. The Xel'Naga prophecies mentioned by Zeratul are sometimes too crazy even in the eyes of his compatriots, but Ihanli believes them unconditionally.

Wow, this is an oracle, it must be worshiped.

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

The Ihanri elders were silent after hearing this, waiting for Zeratul to continue speaking.

They had never found the xel'naga and were inevitably discouraged, believing that the gods had left and would never return.

Zeratul lamented and recounted the prophecies in Urna's Hall of Revelation and the scenes in the Palace of Ascension.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Augustus felt that the eyes of these Ihanri star spirits were straightened when they heard Urna. When Zeratul talked about the death of Xel’Naga, there was another burst of extreme shock and excitement. A painful, gasping sound.

But the protoss seems to have neither eyes nor the need to breathe.

"impossible."

"Gods are eternal!"

"How blasphemous."

The reaction from the Ihanli Star Spirit could be described as outrage.

"Tsk, tsk, how pitiful." Alarak laughed out loud: "Let them also feel the pain of Tal'darin being betrayed by God, hahahaha!"

"How vicious, Tal'darin." Raynor said to himself, just be a human being.

"Shut up, Alarak." Artanis is a leader with extraordinary magnanimity, but if you are gentle to Alarak, he will only regard you as weak and can be bullied.

"But we still have a glimmer of hope." After seeing the tragic situation in Urna's Ascension Palace, 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 well-meaning voices that had given him revelations before were obviously still alive in some form.

Augustus even firmly believed that it must be a Xel'Naga who was still alive.

I don’t know where he got the confidence.

"The prophecy I received before was most likely from a Xel'Naga who was imprisoned in the void by Amon, the last god who still had good intentions towards creation." Zeratul said:

"The last god."

"Zeratul, you have brought us too many surprises." After a long silence, the eldest elder Ihanli finally said: "Even if we believe you, we must go to Ur, the residence of the gods. Na confirms that what he said is true——"

"After that, we will gather the fleets sleeping across the universe, banish Amon, and free our gods."

"Judgment is coming."

Augustus was disgusted to hear that the protoss were always like this, as if they could conjure a fleet from some forgotten and unknown corner as long as they established a navigation beacon. This is the foundation of an ancient civilization.

Look at you.

Earthling!

"."

The communication between the Ihanli Protoss was interrupted, and it was obvious that it would take some time for them to digest this information.

"Is the Ihanri Star Spirit really trustworthy?" Augustus asked Zeratul after the communication ended.

Ihanli went to Urna to find out what his intentions were, and Augustus still knew it. But anyway, they have already dug up all the treasures in Urnali, and there is not much left.

"They are worthy of trust." Zeratul replied: "Augustus, next, I will join forces with the Ihanri Protoss and further gather the power I can muster."

Zeratul's connections are indeed very wide. In addition to the Ihanri protoss, he has also contacted many famous legions or fleets commanded by famous protoss heroes.

"Yes. Be careful along the way, Zeratul." Augustus nodded. Since Zeratul said Ihanri was trustworthy, that was it.

"What combat effectiveness can a fleet made of stones have?" At this time, Alarak, who had already disliked Ihanli, couldn't help but uttered wild words.

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

The color scheme of this protoss faction looks very supermodel.

"Even the Tal'darin Protoss, whose fleet was stolen and robbed, is qualified to say that?" Renault asked in return.

"Creation is meaningless, even the most brainless creatures 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 the success have no right to blame those who have worked hard." Artanis couldn't sit still.

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

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

".?" Artanis was speechless for a moment. If Tychus were here, he wouldn't be able to say a word about who you are.

"Now is not the time to quarrel." Augustus controlled the situation with ease: "Continue the battle meeting we just had."

"I will lead Alpha Squadron and Artanis to go to Sagulas first to rescue the Duram protoss there." He looked at everyone.

"Jim, you lead the remaining fleet and the Coralion Executive to return to the Empire world and eliminate the Moebius Legion rebels entrenched in the Scar of Vengeance and the massive invasion of the Hybrid Legion and the Dominator Swarm Army."

"You may also have to face Tassadar's corrupted golden fleet. Try to avoid a head-on confrontation with it, but you must delay the advancement of the golden fleet as much as possible."

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

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

"We can't place our expectations on Tassadar being able to recapture the golden fleet from Amon by his own strength." Augustus looked at Artanis: "Now, Artanis, you are Dallam The last hope of the protoss."

"You will eventually become the leader Tassadar expected. This era should have ended with your name."

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

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

"I have no problem." Alarak suppressed a sentence: "It seems to have nothing to do with me."

There is an introduction video of Ihanli Star Spirit on site b. For details, just watch the UP master DNvader. This is the real popular science.
