StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 718 The righteous assault

Narud remembered that there used to be some people on the bridge, but they were all gone now. The light spots on the holographic screen that occupied the entire field of view were clustered together, emitting bright light. Kohal's high-altitude orbit seemed to also appear. Get crowded.

At least a thousand battlecruisers of all levels are gathering around the Xel'Naga World Ship. As far as Narud knows, this accounts for at least two-thirds or more of the main ships of the Tyranids' entire fleet. .

As soon as Korhal was attacked, Augustus recalled so many fleets. Was he trying to surrender the world beyond Korhal?

This only proves that he has the ambition of a lion but the brain of a sheep.

If so, this would undoubtedly be good news for Narud and his master Eamon.

Narud thought that unless Augustus wanted to gather his troops here to launch a large-scale counterattack, or even a decisive battle, he would not stick to a mere galaxy or a few planets.

But Augustus and his protoss allies didn't even know where to launch a counterattack - the enemies came from all directions, and were extremely large fleets of zerg and protoss. Although the progress was slow, they were always maintaining their momentum. move.

Augustus' only hope is to find and destroy the incarnation that Amon used to descend into reality, the evil god's host. But even if they did succeed, they would only temporarily delay the return of the God of Darkness.

And even if Augustus has learned from Urna that Xel'Naga must use an incarnation to enter the real universe, he may not be aware of the existence of the evil god's body so far, and how can he realize the need to destroy it? sex.

Taking a step back, Eamon's will can still reside in Kara, thereby affecting the world, controlling the golden fleet, and controlling the insect swarm. Then, Amon would reshape an incarnation from the bodies of countless protoss and zerg, which would just take a little more time.

When Augustus realized that he had done everything he could to prevent the end, it was all in vain.

All he could find in the ruins of the Koprulu sector was despair.

And Narud has completed his mission, and his master, Amon, the God of Darkness, is about to return.

Soon, the greatest moment will come. Amon will return the universe to death, take back all the life that the Xel'Naga once brought, and completely end this corrupt cycle. Until then, let Augustus rule over nothingness.

That being the case, the work is done, and even if this incarnation is destroyed, it is not unacceptable. Once Eamon returns to the world, he can also create a new body for Narud.

However, Narud still felt angry and was sure that his exposure was only due to an accident, because he could not think of anything else that would make him take it lightly and expose his flaws. Narud must learn the truth from Augustus, or it will forever haunt him and put a stick in his throat.

Even if Narud acknowledged Augustus Mengsk's superior intelligence, he was still only human.

But this time, Narud really fell into the hands of Augustus.

At this moment, the Terran Empire dispatched a huge fleet to deal with Narud, and even spared no effort to call in their protoss allies, which really made him feel "flattered".

Ironically, even if Narud really served his only master Aemon, he was convinced that his contribution to the Tyranids over the years was far greater than what Augustus would accuse him of. Those crimes, and the emperor must be well aware of them. If he had planned everything beforehand, that would be frightening.

He's such a chameleon!

At this time, a Gorgon battlecruiser approached. Her iconic spindle-shaped bow penetrated the energy shield curtain below the world ship's bridge. The sharp steel collision angle was aggressive, like a tightly grasped Iron gray fist. Several Iron Crows sailed out from the shadow of the battleship, their huge ice-blue wings looking like thinned ice cubes.

Narud saw the battleship's dock open, and hundreds of flashing light spots flying out, like swarms of bugs in summer. Countless boarding boats were packed with heavily armed Imperial soldiers, while other ships carried vehicles and mechas, and were piled with ammunition.

Looking to the left and right of the Gorgon, more than a hundred battlecruisers were lined up in several rows and columns. Each battleship was releasing landing ships, which added up to tens of thousands. Some warships were firing, spitting terrible tongues of fire like angry dragons, but Narud didn't know who they were firing at, because the worldship under his feet could not actually prevent the enemy from boarding.

If Narud could activate the World Ship's main weapons system now, the void cannon and accelerated high-energy particle balls could instantly turn this miserable warship into ashes.

Xel'Naga must use an incarnation to enter the real world, and must also accept the shackles of the laws of the universe. Even the Xel'Naga ships must be piloted by humans, and Narud cannot override them and order the world ship to fire on Augustgrad, at least not now.

Things changed so suddenly. If he had known this earlier, he should have firmly controlled the battleship, or opened up the authority of the artificial intelligence monitoring system, allowing the world ship to fire autonomously like a mad bull.

Not only that, he didn't have time to install the hybrid in the world ship, and he couldn't let the Xel'Naga world ship fire on itself, which was not within the scope of the original design.

All these things are not good for Narud, but if he had known about this disaster, he would not have taken the risk to come to Korhal. It's just that it's too late to say anything now, he is already a turtle in the urn.

The Xel'Naga worldship is shaped like a lance covered with gauntlets, and was formerly an abandoned space hulk. As if repairing a precious cultural relic, Narud peeled off the main part of the world ship from the thick meteorite covering to expose the bright green hull. He then used composite materials to repair the damaged parts and rebuilt them layer by layer. Building decks and laying compartment baffles on the ground is no less difficult than rebuilding the magnificent temple of the past among the remaining columns of the Parthenon.

Nowadays, the main body of the world ship is concentrated on the conical bow and stern, which are connected by the cylindrical midship part that is more slender in comparison. It looks like a viewing corridor leading to a glass ecological garden. But even so, the hull is unusually large, spectacular, and gracefully curved. Each deck can accommodate a hundred Imperial battlecruisers.

Xel'Naga's thorough understanding of aesthetics and Narud's persistence in this made his world ship elegant, beautiful and shocking, shining under the brilliant star light.

It's no wonder that Narud was sure that Augustus would be ecstatic after seeing this world ship. In fact, Augustus was indeed happy, but only after dealing with her creator, just like those emperors who ordered the craftsmen who built their own tombs to be buried alive.

Narud didn't expect this.

Narud is currently in the bridge above the bow command deck. From here, he can overlook the battlefield outwards and the wide bow deck and battle deck below the bridge.

Looking back, an attack force composed of large mechas and heavy infantry appeared on the deck below. Their red and black power armor was particularly eye-catching in the vivid green light and shadow of the world ship. These soldiers advanced very quickly, but it was obvious that they were still very cautious, as if there were hideous monsters hidden in every corner of the world ship.

He wished it was true.

When he turned his head, a protoss troop wearing orange and white armor also appeared, advancing hand in hand with the Tyranid Empire army.

That is the army of the Purifiers, a group of mechanical protoss who are not afraid of death. These mechanical protoss are another form of "insect swarm". Among the multiple protoss factions, they are the only ones that still retain strong military power. , is a force that Narud never expected.

Aamon despises these mechanical protoss, as he despises all others, but Narud does not see it that way. He believes that the Purifier protoss is a potentially huge threat, even far above the Tyranid Empire. It turned out that Narud was planning to alienate the relationship between humans and the Purifier Protoss and weaken the power of the latter, but that is no longer possible.

Putting aside the confusion and resentment in his heart, Narud made up his mind that he would not give in. This world ship was still his home ground.

In the process of repairing the Xel'Naga world ship, Narud used Xel'Naga ruins materials collected from all over the universe, and even the hulls of other Xel'Naga ships, because using most human materials is like using The even yellow mud repaired the ironclad.

The Worldship contained several intact Xel'Naga temples, which had replenished the frail incarnation of Narud over the years and now powered the massive warship. The Xel'Naga world ship is loaded with eight Xel'Naga kinetic engine engines and possesses terrifying void energy. It could originally be used to open a void door directly in the real world.

At this moment, the Xel'Naga temple facilities and the energy-storing crystals are still continuously providing void energy to Narud. With such an increase in energy, he can show the tip of the iceberg of Xel'Naga's power.

With the blessing of this power, he will be invincible.

Although Xel'Naga can return to the void even if his incarnation dies, Narud will never surrender.

Narud is not afraid of death, but he may have to leave this powerful worldship to the Tyranid Empire, as it lacks the ability to destroy her. If that were the case, it would be the biggest mistake Narud ever made.

More protoss and human troops appeared on the bow deck of the worldship, the allied forces of the Dallam protoss, the templar and the dark templar. Today, these templars have their nerve bundles cut off, binding the ends of their severed nerve bundles in shining metal and crystal ornaments like their kin of Thagurath.

The Duram protoss sent out their most powerful psychic warriors, the Archons and the Dark Archons. The green light group with hazy shadows among them represented that they were the rarer Twilight Archons.

The Twilight Archon is very powerful, formed by the fusion of a Templar and a Dark Templar. These protoss warriors from different protoss factions have established a relationship beyond life and death during the years of fighting side by side, and are ready to sacrifice at any time. Own.

Narud felt threatened by these terrifying psychic creatures. By this time, he had absorbed considerable void energy from the Xel'Naga temple in the world ship, making the grotesque and abominable void illusion behind him even more intense. It's like substance. At the same time, countless streams of void energy are coming from all directions, converging on Narud's body, like thin and dense green silk threads, making him look like a web. spider.

He summoned a terrifying hurricane that swept across the bridge deck. The raging void energy eroded and peeled off the majestic hull of the world ship, but those ignorant idiots still boarded the ship through the floating ladder and the acceleration ramp inside the ship. The bridge contains both humans and protoss.

Artanis, the high-ranking executive of the Dallam Protoss, was also among them. He was Tassadar's hand-picked successor, an unconvincing young Akiri Protoss. Amon originally valued this protoss leader far more than Augustus Mengsk, but now that he has obtained Tassadar, it is not worth mentioning.

Alarak, the first ascended Tal'darim, stood on the other side of Artanis. On the other side was a female Nerazim warrior and a weird-looking mechanical protoss.

Narud could vaguely recall who Alarak was. He may have a high position of authority among the Tal'darin protoss, but he was just an insignificant figure here.

Alarak claimed that Aemon had betrayed his people and was determined to seek vengeance against the Dark God, even to the point of forming an alliance with humans. But Eamonn didn't care about it at all, which was the greatest contempt.

But what surprised Narud the most was that among these protoss, there was a slim human woman who was particularly eye-catching.

Sarah Kerrigan wore a slim-fitting light blue dress, with her long fiery red hair tied into an elegant bun. She looked as if she was just attending a banquet.

It's just that she is the Queen of the Empire and shouldn't be here at all.

But Kerrigan hasn't taken action for seven or eight years since Augustus was crowned emperor, so he may have been itching for a long time.

For some reason, this human posed an even greater threat to Narud. He even suspected that the other person could no longer be called a human.

"Narud, you betrayed your emperor and your people!" Artanis came to Narud in the face of the raging psychic storm, and his slightly frank words seemed to be invisible. The opponent is an inhuman void creature.

"The son of Sagurath will pay with blood," said Vorazun.

"Draw your sword against this monster!" said Talandar.

"Very well, this is a Rak'sir ceremony." Alarak lit the bloody blade.

"Are you trying to escape your own miserable fate?" The longer the delay is, the better it will be for Narud, so that he can accumulate more power.

But if Augustus is willing to destroy the temple and the charging crystal in the World Ship, Narud's power will be significantly weakened.

"No, I am the master of my own destiny." Alarak said to Narud: "I have the final say in this matter."

"Kill him!" Kerrigan said nothing else and took action first.

It seems that the comments cannot be displayed recently. It seems to be this time every year.
