StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

The bridge windows of the Hyperion were showing an extremely gorgeous celestial phenomenon. The whirlpool of time and space was spinning, throwing out blue-purple flame-like flashes. Giant battleships from protoss and humans were constantly jumping out of it. The spectacle is shocking and terrifying.

"Zergs appeared in front of the port side, 1.6 standard astronomical units away." Sergeant Matt Horner, who was sitting in front of the observation radar, shouted.

"A huge insect swarm vanguard, mainly composed of blasting mosquitoes and devourers, position 310."

"The signals of huge zerg lifeforms were detected on Aier's satellite, and the number has reached 200 million."

Around Augustus, the sounds of various instructions and reports never stopped, but they did not appear noisy and chaotic because of this. The crew members who were chatting and laughing just now have entered combat mode, paying attention to every order and feedback from their colleagues.

"Expand the formation, and the entire fleet will advance towards Aiur." Augustus stretched out his hand to look at his watch: "Sweep away all enemies blocking the road, whether they are zerg or hostile protoss."

The Hyperion's Titan reactor was operating at full capacity, and its twin engines pushed the behemoth to the planet Aiur hundreds of millions of miles away.

On the left wing of the Revolutionary Army's flagship Hyperion is the Alpha Squadron's flagship Norad III, and on the right wing is the Nova Squadron's Alander. More than two thousand transport ships, transport ships, frigates, destroyers, supply ships and fighter planes are scattered In all directions, the brilliant thruster flames were like small comets.

Each battleship carried hundreds of sailors and warriors, hundreds of thousands of men determined to die generously for the will of the same man.

Tassadar's fleet is located directly above the Revolutionary Fleet. Their warships are much faster and more powerful than the humans. When the Revolutionary Army's warships aimed their cannons at the incoming zerg, the protoss fleet's beam weapons and particle heat guns had already swept across the vast swarm of zerg.

Zeratul's Dark Templar fleet was hidden in the shadows. They silently headed towards Aiur from the exit of another hyperspace channel.

The Revolutionary Army and the Tassadar Executor Fleet, which were operating at full speed, came into close contact with the incoming swarm within dozens of minutes after their appearance, and the silent galaxy once again ushered in continuous war.

Augustus' flagship Hyperion guided all the warships in the fleet, so it was always in front of where the rest of the ships could see it, and it was also the center facing the entire swarm.

Countless ferocious alien monsters are attacking the Hyperion's energy shield, like evil ghosts surrounding the tomb. The Hyperion's plasma cannons and laser cannons continued to fire at the Zerg outside the shield. The dense orange barrage spanned the starry sky outside the bridge windows, as if building a bridge to deep space.

The wreckage of fighter planes and charred insect corpses floated in the deep black sky, and explosions occurred every moment. The bridge deck shook with the suicide blast of the mosquitoes, like a small ship in a violent storm.

"Augustus, you should leave the bridge and go to a safe place now." Kerrigan changed Augustus's coat and put on a long cloak: "This place is at the forefront of the Zerg attack. "

While Kerrigan was speaking, a Devourer mutated from an Allosaurus slammed into the shield in front of the bridge. It was larger than an ordinary Allosaurus and became more like them than before. The ancestor of the Screaming Mantis is shaped like a fat and terrifying wasp.

Augustus noticed that this zerg was by no means a new individual. Its dark gray carapace and hard elytra were densely covered with burn marks and wound healing scars. It was likely that it had experienced several tragic attacks. The war has survived until now.

The huge tail of the giant wasp-like Devourer trembled and spat out highly corrosive spore clusters towards the shield, which made the already weak shield darker.

The Hyperion's shields have withstood enough firepower to destroy a battlecruiser, and it has only been able to hold on until now because, in addition to being powered by more advanced reactors, it also has void crystals and xel'naga artifact fragments provide energy.

"If the zerg can destroy the entire flagship, then there is no point in hiding anywhere." Augustus looked at Kerrigan and said: "We are turning the tide of the battle and gradually gaining the advantage. The zerg wasted on the Hyperion So many forces that they ignore other warships and our allies."

Kerrigan stopped trying to dissuade Augustus, and she found herself increasingly letting selfish motives cloud her judgment.

At this moment, four Wraith fighter planes traveling in parallel were swooping straight down from the bridge of the Hyperion. Laser cannons were spitting tongues of fire. The whizzing twin missiles killed the Devourer in the exploding energy whirlwind. Torn to pieces.

The Wraith Fighter then turned in front of Augustus, its orange-red wake flying through a beautiful curve towards a large group of silently screaming alien dragons. When one of the fighter planes passed by the bridge, Augustus could even see the heroic fighter pilot raising his hand to salute him.

A golden-blue Protoss aircraft carrier appeared on the starboard side of the Hyperion. It deployed its own shield position to include all human warships within its protection range. A large number of densely packed carrier-based interceptors poured out from the aircraft carrier's dock, like wasps pouring out of their nests, drowning the Zerg in an instant.

The Hyperion finally tore a hole in the dense, black mist-like swarm of insects, and every time the revolutionary fleet in a pointed cone-shaped attack formation moved forward unswervingly for a certain distance, the gap would become larger. big.

Even in huge numbers, like moving waves and tsunamis, these zerg are still just a small remnant left after the battle with the main fleet of the Protoss Empire, but they still make the combined fleet difficult to deal with.

"Where are our reinforcements?" Reynold was always as calm and calm as Augustus, but he was not very calm yet: "Where have the other protoss fleets of Al gone?"

"I'm afraid that the Supreme Council of the Protoss Empire thought we were here to take advantage of the situation." Augustus carefully analyzed the attitude of the Supreme Council of the Protoss Empire after El went to the Protoss Empire and saw Tassadar's return. He firmly believed that the Supreme Council of the Protoss Empire The Congress would only view the Combined Fleet as an enemy.

After breaking through the blockade of the incoming zerg, the combined fleet once again narrowed the distance to Aiur through a short jump, avoiding the other two zerg fleets, and after the last jump, arrived at the gravitational field of the planet Aiur. within the range.

Green Aiur and one of its moons, Sharok, are close at hand.

Augustus turned around and walked to the star chart table next to him, standing next to the golden wolf head symbol on the corner of the star chart table. Today's Hyperion has been remodeled and renovated many times and bears the Mengsk family's logo from the inside out. Even the tapestries next to the porthole walls are embroidered with golden wolf heads.

He frowned, staring at Aiur and the flashing red dots on its moons, which represented the number of zerg on it.

The Moon of Aiur was an important symbol of religious ritual in the tribal days of the Protoss, a symbol of purity and of the Order of Zealots among the Templar hierarchy. Now, this pure moon has become a breeding ground for Zerg. The abominable alien creatures have their main nest and hatch their eggs under the rising white sand like gold.

"Augustus Mengsk, it seems that Aiur's war situation is more critical than I imagined." Tassadar's avatar appeared on the main screen above Augustus' head, his eyes burning with sky-blue flames. Breathtaking.

"My old friend Phoenix Archon on Aiur told me that many provinces and large tracts of land have fallen, and our proud Origa Tribal Armada has also lost the sky of Aiur."

"Tell me, what kind of losses have they caused to the zerg?" Augustus was more concerned about the number of zerg.

"The forces of the Protoss Empire destroyed more zerg hives and more zerg than the zerg that invaded the Koprulu Sector combined, but to no avail." Tassadar will not cause his allies to have trouble with the outcome of the war because it is difficult to talk about the failure of the Protoss Empire. Make a misjudgment.

"The Templars guarding Aiur defeated almost all the Zerg Hives on the frontal battlefield and once threatened the Overlord, but they ultimately failed to expel all the Zerg."

"Without the help of the Dark Templar, the Protoss Empire cannot kill any Cerebrate, and will never be able to destroy their tribe." Augustus shook his head and said.

"I think we'll have to land on Aiur and join Archon Fenix ​​and the Tal'darim in their counterattack against the zerg, and we'll be assisted by a force of dragon knights from Executor Mojo." Tassadar to Ogu Stu said.

"The original landing place was changed to the occupied province of Antioch, because the Supreme Council had already lost control of the province, and we did not have to conflict with them," he said.

"I agree, the fewer enemies we face in the landing battle, the fewer sacrifices our soldiers will make." Augustus said: "You can't escape, Tassadar."

"If the decadent Supreme Council can no longer lead the remaining protoss to defeat the Overlord, Aiur will surely fall."

"You are right, Augustus, your wisdom can always inspire me." Tassadar agreed with Augustus' statement.

"I will personally lead the Templars to set foot on the land of Ayr again."

"Me too." Augustus shouted on the fleet's command channel.

"Immediately deploy landing troops to Ayr. In addition to the two originally scheduled regiments, the engineering corps will also be deployed to the front line." He said: "Every soldier sent to the Ayr battlefield is a hero, and I will continue to do so. The earth fights alongside you.”

"Vice Admiral Jim Raynor will take over my command of the fleet in Aiur orbit and will be the supreme commander of the fleet."

"Let me come visit you every time, Augustus." Renault lamented, regretting that he couldn't fight with Augustus: "Sometimes I want to change places with Tychus."

"That's different." Augustus patted Renault on the shoulder: "I believe that Jim Renault will definitely give me a complete fleet when I come back, and sometimes there will even be a few more ships."

"But Tychus Finley is different. He will definitely dismantle my ship into parts, and then gnaw on my sofa and pillows." He said: "You are the person I trust most, and Kerrigan can testify."

"Okay." Renault shrugged: "As always, just call me on the channel if you need anything, and the airborne troops will be here soon."

Augustus found Tychus Finlay and Harnak Hank, then walked into the armory, put on the power armor with the help of machinery, and followed the landing troops in the desert outside the province of El Antioch. Login.

Aiur is a garden planet with dense tropical rainforests. Its gem-like rivers and lush forests breed magical animals as old as the protoss. Magnificent temples, unknown and mysterious underground caves coexist with the golden cities of the protoss. Antioch is one of the few provinces adjacent to the desert. This harsh natural environment was once a training ground for the Templars to hone their will.

Most of the Antioch province is still green space and forest, which is also a natural barrier to the movement of wind and sand. However, by the time Augustus' troops arrived, most of the province's forests had been overtaken by creep.

Augustus' spaceship landed over a primeval rainforest that had not yet been corroded by the zerg carpet. The airflow raised by the thrusters blew the emerald green ferns, and landed in front of the ancient Xel'Naga temple.

Hundreds of spaceships landed in the forest, and battalions of revolutionary soldiers filed out of the huge transport ships.

As soon as Augustus stepped out of the gangway of the transport ship, he saw the protoss commander Phoenix Archon who was still fighting against the zerg in the Antioch province - he appeared in the form of a golden armored dragon knight.

It is said that Grand Archon Fenix ​​crossed the seven Zerg sub-hives directly from his base to the Revolutionary Army landing site. He and his hundreds of Templars destroyed the road with thunderous fury. All the insects turned all the main nests into ashes.

Protoss Archon Fenix ​​and his army were welcomed by a Revolutionary Army landing force. Even though the Revolutionary Army was suspicious of the Protoss Commander, Augustus Mengsk declared that Fenix ​​was the leader of both himself and the Revolutionary Army. distinguished guest and eternal friend.

"I am Archon Phoenix, the administrator of the Templars." Archon Phoenix is ​​a legendary Templar. He was seriously injured in the battle to guard Antioch. Return to the battlefield. He joined Augustus's human landing force at Tassadar's request, but his words lacked the customary arrogance of the protoss.

"Archon Phoenix, I am honored to fight alongside you." Augustus waved away his guards to show that he did not think Phoenix could be, or even just a potential enemy.

"Thanks to your help, humans are as brave and fearless as the Templars." Phoenix could feel that Marshal Augustus respected him very much, and this was by no means disguised. This surprised him even more, and his heart I admire you.

"The glorious and powerful Protoss Empire inevitably declined, and Aiur became a devastated ruin." He continued.

"But because of Tassadar and your arrival, we have not lost hope yet."

I took a friend out for dinner today, so I'm a little rushed in writing...
