StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 299 Wormhole

After personally carrying the last severely unconscious Revolutionary Army soldier into the portal, Augustus summoned the last twenty or so marshal's guard soldiers around him to prepare for departure.

"Get on your feet, boys, the Vulture's fuel has been filled up, enough for us to drive out of the galaxy," Augustus said jokingly, trying to boost morale.

There was a burst of laughter all around, and these people were really willing to follow Augustus to the ends of the galaxy if possible.

The evacuated revolutionary army left Augustus with the best vehicles and weapons, including some electromagnetic grenades, rocket launchers, AGR Gauss assault rifles and matching AGG-12 grenade launchers. The missiles of the Goliath armed robot can help Augustus deal with the alien dragons in the air, but these equipment are not suitable for mobile troops to carry.

Augustus rode his golden-red vulture with ease, feeling that it was like a docile horse. He turned to pay attention to what kind of transportation the Tal'darin protoss would use, but suddenly realized that he had not noticed how the Tal'darin placed those conical golden-blue chariots on the teleportation platform. of.

Those chariots were shaped like arrows and spear points, and their gleaming metal shells were studded with crystals and gems. It is roughly the size of a human single-seat vulture motorcycle, with a seat and a control panel similar to a steering wheel.

The Protoss Chariot is suspended in mid-air, surrounded by a crystal-like dreamy luster. Augustus couldn't hear the roar of any engines, and he was sure it was because the protoss' power system was completely different from that of humans.

While fighting alongside the Protoss, Augustus noticed that they rarely used human-like chariots, but that did not mean that the Protoss did not. Larger dragon knights like Taldarin ride in a four-man chariot, and the driver is a loyal high-ranking templar of the Akili tribe.

There are not many chariots, only four or five, and the remaining twenty or so high-ranking templars are riding on golden-blue butterflies hovering more than ten feet (more than three meters) in the air. disc.

To be more precise, the protoss often achieves the goal of honing their skills and persistence through ascetic walking, but when they need to travel, they usually jump directly to their destination through time and space distortion technology, but sometimes they also use Butterfly-shaped flying disc.

This kind of parallel disk hovering in the air is like a human two-wheeled hover car, but the performance of the Protoss is presumably more stable, and it can even be used as some kind of high-speed single-person aircraft.

It is possible to see some female protoss warriors wearing golden tabards and armor on the disk. They are the spearmen of the Valari tribe, holding spears instead of psychic blades. The Valari tribe is a tribe that produces protoss protectors, and the Valari spearmen are the representative arms of this tribe.

In the ancient Protoss tribe era, Protoss tribes still used weapons such as spears, stone locks, and long knives. This tradition can still be seen among the Protoss who value inheritance.

Those powerful Valari spearmen's robes reflected the color of gold in the sunshine of Char. Their soft silk robes were covered with diamond-shaped mind crystals, and their long nerve bundles like hair bundles had beautiful accessories. Their tight legs are exposed, and their gray-white skin is much more delicate and supple than that of ordinary protoss men.

I have to say that despite the less human-like parts, these vigorous protoss female warriors are quite attractive.

The protoss templar controlling the flying disc hovered in the air, waiting for Tal'darin's orders. At this time, there were still dozens of shuttles that had survived the pursuit and interception of the Mutalisaurs and Blasted Mosquitoes. Under the orders of the Grand Archon, these fighter planes rose to high altitudes to secretly escort them.

"Let's go." Augustus greeted Taldarin on the chariot, and said to Tychus and Raynor on both sides of him: "Follow my brothers, the wasteland of Char is full of dangers and dangers. abnormal."

"We have to go around in a circle, around where the psionic emitter and the lava lake are," he said.

"Staying on the plain for a longer period of time will bring more risks. Why don't we just cross this volcanic rock plain." Taldarin's chariot drove to Augustus' side.

"Careful sailing, Archon." Augustus closed the helmet of his power armor and started his vulture car.

"Your expressions are always strange, but I have always agreed with cautious rhetoric." Tal'darin always seemed rigid and clumsy when communicating with humans, as if he was the kind of old fogy and nerd that Tychus said.

"The Origa tribe once built ships and arks on the vast stormy ocean of Aier. Only the cautious and wise Origa helmsman can drive the ship across the ocean." He tried to explain Augustus's words with his own understanding. meaning in.

"Only the most careful and responsible shipbuilders can build giant ships that can withstand huge waves. The greatest motherships and aircraft carriers since the catastrophe of all ages have an outstanding commander."

"That's what I mean." Renault gave Tal'darin a thumbs up: "In short, it's always right to be cautious."

As Augustus spoke, the Vulture car drove hundreds of yards on the platform of the portal with the roar of the propeller. It jumped into the air like a fighter jet taking off in front of the steps. With the help of the propeller, It didn't hit the ground until much later.

The strong wind howled by Augustus' side, and this small team composed of more than sixty human revolutionary troops and protoss expeditionary troops galloped for more than ten miles on the flat land of the Burning Land.

From time to time, a large number of zerg attacked them on the way, and ambushes were even deployed in advance according to Augustus's route, but Augustus led the convoy across the zerg every time, and even had to drive during the most difficult times. The vulture car flew over the heads of the Zerg.

In addition to having almost no defense, the fragmentation grenades carried by the Vulture are quite good at dealing with zerg. Especially the firepower of the protoss is quite amazing. Whenever a large swarm of zerg rushes towards the convoy, there is always a flying one. The high templar on the disk unleashes a psychic storm that kills all the zerg.

In more than an hour, Augustus led the convoy out of the Burning Land and headed towards the location mentioned by Zeratul. That location is not far from the Burning Land, and is located between the Trench of Bones, the Obsidian Lowlands, and an unusually vast magma lake. The main nest area near the magma lake is where Zeratul is located.

This probably also explains why the Zerg can completely ignore the Revolutionary Army's psychic disruptor with the assistance of the psychic launcher, because the level of psychic power possessed by the Overlord has reached an appalling level. As a creature, it can It has reached a height that no one can match.

Augustus shook off another group of roaring Hydralisks of the Golandal Pack, watching their heat signatures fade away in the display of the Vulture Car. There are more than a dozen vulture-like Leviathan swarm alien dragons hovering in the sky. These cunning creatures have more bright thorns and spikes than other groups. Such signs may indicate that they are poisonous.

Intimidated by dozens of high-level protoss templars, these Leviathan alien dragons that had been monitoring Augustus in the air did not dare to approach. At most, they only lowered their height and fought towards the speeding vulture chariots and protoss. The car dropped several hopping symbiotic bladeworms.

"Ahead is the Bone Trench. Satellite images show that there are a large number of zerg spiers and mosquito nests inside. We must go around it through another road."

Augustus stopped at the mouth of a huge canyon, a canyon made mostly of black volcanic rock and granite. This canyon is so huge that when viewed from the air it looks like a hideous scar on the gray-white land of Char, and it can even accommodate star battleships.

The vulture chariots behind them slowed down and stopped next to Augustus, and the Protoss chariots and flying discs also stopped.

"Go around? I'm afraid we have to drive for four or five hours. God, we won't get anywhere before dark." Renault looked at the hot golden sun in the sky. If it weren't for the power armor and combat uniforms, Protection, he would have died of dehydration.

"What I'm most afraid of is the long nights and dreams. I don't have any objection to running a longer distance, but who knows if there will be other troubles ahead after crossing here." Tychus said.

As they were talking, on the ground more than two hundred yards away from them, the soft, sun-heated ashes suddenly sunk inwards, and holes suddenly appeared under the ashes layer, followed by more than thirty A springtail and a Hydra hydralisk jumped towards them.

The orange carapace and spiked edges indicate that they belong to the Gamu swarm. The Cerebrate Sars of this hive clan must have a grudge against Augustus and the protoss who once killed and expelled it.

Augustus picked up an AGR-14 assault rifle and loaded a Ripper A-style grenade into the grenade launcher hanging underneath it. This grenade was also made from the weapon Swann gave to Moria. It was taken out of the factory, but its power is quite amazing.

If the springtails are close enough, it only takes one shot to kill them. If you are lucky enough, you can even kill a dozen zerg at once.

Renault threw several delayed-detonation electromagnetic grenades in that direction. Tychus set up a Whisper Persuader heavy machine gun on the seat of his Vulture and pulled out a series of ammunition boxes from the back seat of the Vulture. U-235 bullet.

Corporal Faraday carried a rail gun and started shooting. Each 25mm bullet could open the skull of a running springtail and shatter the entire head into pieces.

Several mutant springtails with thicker carapace jumped over the barrage and rushed towards Augustus. Their intelligence and ferocity were even greater than ordinary springtails. Presumably, the brainworm Sass was personally controlling these springtails through the spiritual link. insect.

A high-level templar controlled the flying disk to block Augustus. Blue psionic lightning balls lingered in his lizard-like claw-like fingers, and a powerful psionic pulse reached his hand. The beam shocked the two springtails until their entire bodies were blackened and they fell to the ground.

The remaining springtail rushed straight towards him, using its extremely strong hind limbs to leap high, trying to jump over the head of the high-ranking templar.

The high-ranking templar's right arm ignited a psychic blade and stabbed upwards into the belly of the springtail without any hindrance. The springtail leaping high was immediately cut into pieces due to its own inertia, like a cod in front of a cutting machine. For two.

"Cool! When can we use the lightsaber?" Although this was not the first time that Raynor had seen the Protoss Templar kill the Zerg cleanly, it still couldn't stop him from praising him.

Reno recalled what his father Tres Reno once said to him: A warrior fights to survive, a gladiator fights to fight.

In the social system of the Protoss Empire, the Templars were born professional soldiers and remained warriors until their death. They had already extended war and killing into aesthetic art.

"When John grows up, as his godfather I will definitely give him a single-molecule psychic blade." Augustus said.

"Does that kind of thing already exist? I heard that the Umoyan people have been researching this kind of weapon, but there is no news other than that." Tychus calmly stuffed the bullet chain back into the ammunition box. inside.

"Sooner or later it will happen." Augustus looked at the time and thought about which path he should take next.

At this moment, a black smoke suddenly appeared near them, and a dark templar wearing a purple robe and holding a bright green warblade appeared next to them.

"Marshal Augustus." The Dark Templar walked towards Augustus. The huge hydralisk skull on his right shoulder made a clicking sound when it collided with the armor. He was staring at him warily. said the High Templar.

"Hail Adun, my brothers, and may his shadow guide you as you find your way home in the void."

"I will not associate with Kara's betrayers. Put away your hypocrisy, Dark Templar, that makes me sick." This is the first time that the high-ranking Templar who protects Augustus has been seen in reality. He was a real Dark Templar, and his gray-blue skin was wrinkled due to physical discomfort, just like a human being getting goosebumps.

"But we still respect the Templar." The Dark Templar bowed and said.

"We don't need your respect, stay away from me." The high-ranking Templar took a few steps back. Augustus could even feel that the other party was afraid, even when facing Zerg hundreds of times his own size, this man The high templar didn't even flinch.

"Rashagal taught her well. At that time, we gave your secret abilities to Rashagal. She is a good student." Tal'darin stepped down from his chariot.

"You are here to meet us," he said. "Let the leader of the Dark Templar come talk to me."

"Headmaster Zeratul is closely monitoring the Overlord's nest." The Dark Templar looked towards the sky, and a long shuttle-shaped spaceship that was spinning gracefully in the sky emerged from its stealth state.

This is an elegant spaceship that exudes the emerald green light that represents life. It is engraved with shell-like spiral patterns. It seems to be a perfect combination of nature and technology, surrounded by huge void energy.

"An ancient Xel'Naga spaceship? But it's not the spacecraft we gave to Razagar." Tal'darin said.

"Leap us aboard, Dark Templar."

"This is probably a trap," the high templar yelled.

"I believe that Rashagal and I may be the only one among us who has no prejudice against the Dark Templar." Tal'darin said.

"What did you find there?"

"A wormhole." The Dark Templar's words were always like a sharp blade coming out, going straight and drawing blood, but now he seemed hesitant.

"The Overmind used its psychic powers to create a stable wormhole directly on Char, which is simply unheard of."
