StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

"Although now is not the time to show mercy, it seems that the people on Earth cannot hold on for long. Do we want to help?"

Charles Horner, Chief of Staff of the Char Expeditionary Force Command, also stood in front of the holographic projection image in front of Phoenix. It was transmitted from the main nest area of ​​the Char swarm by multiple protoss detectors in invisible force fields. return screen.

The scope of the battlefield is so large that even hundreds of protoss detectors are just a glimpse. The fleet of the UED expeditionary force is so large that their silver-gray steel giant ships and rain-like transport ships can be seen from Char's synchronous orbit to the surface.

In addition to laser cannons and plasma cannons, this huge fleet is also equipped with astonishingly powerful Earth technology cluster rocket launch cabins, and even from the edge of the main nest area, you can see the anger spurting out of the UED Valkyrie frigate. The overwhelming cluster rockets were like bolide falling from the sky.

Before this, only the protoss would attack the insect nest guarded by a large number of ferocious insects from the front.

The UED planned to use a surprise blitzkrieg to invade the main nest of the Char swarm, and all their battleships and soldiers were deployed here for this purpose.

Previously, the United Earth Council did not know much about the Zerg, but the great figures who stood at the highest level of the solar system empire had an unprecedented consensus on this point: that is, since the war started, it would be directly between the Protoss and the Zerg motherland. The stars start a war.

However, even though the UED expeditionary force has invested its main force, the number of zerg is still hundreds of times or more than theirs. The highly evolved main hive guards are tearing out huge windows filled with plasma currents and flames on the indestructible stainless steel hull of the UED battleship, and use specialized acid glands to spit out deadly acid that can corrode steel. liquid.

Even if these humans are brave enough and tenacious enough, it is only a matter of time before they are destroyed by the terrifying and violent Char worm swarm.

Dagos, the oldest and most powerful cerebrate in the Char swarm, is known for its calm character and experienced use of troops. It is more like a steward of the Overlord, while other cerebrates are just playing games compared to him. children.

But today, Dagos has also fallen into a state of rage. The organs in the Charworm colony are secreting large amounts of dopamine, norepinephrine, cortisol, and all the hormones that can maintain their fiery rage and desire to kill.

"To be fair, if the UED expeditionary force is not here to rule and enslave the Tyranids, then I will never turn a blind eye to a group of brave people." Raynor shook his head as he looked at the picture captured by the Protoss detector. He even thought about what if It would be nice if these earthlings weren't the enemy.

But the possibility of a union between the Earth and the Tyranids is slim. The Earth Council, which has dominated mankind for centuries, wants iron-blooded rule over the rebellious colonies, so how can it be willing to be on an equal footing with Koprulu's colony. Once humans have rights, they will never let them go until they die.

"But you can't take back a bleeding person from the hyenas in Essass with your bare hands alone. Charles, damn it, we can't even make a splash in the main nest area." He shouted at Charles shouted: "Or ask Tychus to find some girls to cheer for the people on Earth?"

Damn it, why isn't Tychus here? I need him right now. "

"What heroic humans." Phoenix gave his opinion of the people on Earth after a moment: "If they are here to kill the Overlord, then the Templars don't mind helping them."

"It would be nice if the people on Earth really thought so, but it's obvious that their ambitions don't stop there." Renault said.

The UED Expeditionary Force is indeed on an expedition to the Koprulu Sector to eliminate threats to the earth and all mankind, and the Overlord is also one of their goals. In this regard, the cowardly Tyranid Federation is not even worthy of carrying shoes for people on Earth.

But the overbearing Earthlings are more willing to destroy the protoss and zerg together, and Augustus has clearly pointed this out. He even spent a whole week or more guessing the intentions and intentions of the UED expeditionary force. Part of the plan and speculation turned out to be accurate.

Augustus even bluntly stated that the UED expeditionary force would probably regard El and Char as their top targets after dismantling the Terran human government. If Gerald Dugar is determined to attack Char, then the new Overlord must be his main target. Once the monster is killed or imprisoned, the swarm will fall apart.

"However, I think this is an excellent opportunity to kill the Overlord. The UED expeditionary force is clearing all obstacles on the road to the Overlord for us." After a while, Renault looked at Charles and Phoenix.

Then, Renault took a paper map from one of his guards - the UED's strong electromagnetic interference attack caused the headquarters' electronic equipment to malfunction. Fortunately, Renault has always had the habit of carrying a map with him.

"Deploying all the psychic disruptors, we can open a path to the Overlord between Death Valley and the main nest area." Raynor quickly expressed his thoughts.

"We killed that old master once when we were in Al. Then we can kill it again using the same method!"

"A simple and easy plan. That's what I learned at the Templar Academy. The more complex the plan, the more likely it is that there will be flaws, and a psychic blade can cut through everything." Phoenix looked at Renault.

"My father said that one effort can defeat ten." Renault smiled.

"The wisdom of the elders can benefit future generations a lot." Phoenix also conveyed an emotion similar to laughter to Renault.

Phoenix is ​​one of the few protoss who can take on Raynor's outlandish jokes, even though the mindset and cultural gap between humans and protoss have always made it difficult for them to understand each other.

"Yes, this opportunity may only come once, once in a lifetime. The Overlord must be killed, otherwise once the Zerg takes its breath, our homeland will still be poisoned." Major General Charles used his fingers covered with steel gloves to A line is drawn on the map.

The losses of people and property brought by the zerg to the human world of Koprulu have far exceeded the previous civil wars. In the first all-out war, one planet after another was destroyed by the swarm of insects and turned into evil. A swamp-like desolate world.

Charles' hometown is among them.

"Accurate judgment, in order to win this victory, we must also deploy more Templars and Dark Templars in Char." Phoenix's slender pair of dragon knight walking feet were crossed, as if he was standing with his arms crossed. .

"Tassadar has agreed to this plan and is ready to support us with all his strength. The original plan must be changed, and a battle as important as the Battle of Aiur is about to come."

The Dallam Protoss fleet led by Tassadar was a large one, composed of the reunited Aiur and Thagulath Protoss warships. Although the Protoss Empire's fleet is 100%, their strength is still enough to look down on the galaxy.

"Your efficiency is really scary." Renault didn't even know when Phoenix reported this plan to Tassadar who was in the fleet, and Executive Officer Tassadar's decisiveness was worthy of his reputation.

The minds of the protoss are connected together through Kara, which also allows the protoss commander's decisions to be executed as quickly as possible.

"Inform the fleet on the Char orbital platform that we need more reinforcements. List all mobilizable divisions immediately, and the war is imminent!" Renault said.

"Wait, what is that?" Charles suddenly approached the holographic projection screen and pointed at it.

"Some kind of missile?" Renault looked over.

On the screen, the UED expeditionary force's transport ship was continuously delivering black alloy cabins to the surface of Char. It was a landing module used for landing on the surface using rocket anti-reactor technology. These landing pods come in different sizes, but even the smallest is large enough to house a Goliath-armed robot.

"I've never seen a missile like this," Charles said.

"I knew it right away," Reno said.

The landing modules landed one after another in the Char main nest area, and the impact of the impact kicked up large swaths of red dust. Immediately afterwards, the landing module began to rapidly disintegrate, and extremely huge monsters walked out of the collapsed steel plates.

They had the bodies of zerg and the eyes of protoss, and their grotesque, twisted and evil structures made Raynor shudder. He had only seen such a thing in one place, and that was on a Luria IV.

Mixture!

A monster that is a mixture of protoss and zerg genes, combining the ferociousness of the zerg with the eerie elegance of the protoss. They are products that should only exist in fantasy, and only the craziest painters can depict their abominable appearance.

"That's..." An anger that shocked Renault was vented from Phoenix, as furious as a storm.

"Gods, what is that? What have the people of Earth done to our people?"

Phoenix's anger seemed to be real, and all the humans around him were affected by it.

"Hybrids, the people who created them must be madmen." Reno once discussed this kind of monster with Augustus. Not surprisingly, humans have almost no resistance when facing hybrids. Soldiers must conquer them like An impregnable bunker requires multiple sacrifices to kill the hybrid.

"No one knows where that shameless person found the genes of the protoss and zerg"

While Phoenix and Renault were angry and surprised, the hybrids that landed in the main nest area took over the entire battlefield almost at the same time they appeared.

Among them, a 20-foot-tall hybrid appeared in the center of the holographic projection. His body is closer to a zerg than a protoss. His whole body is covered with a carapace that is denser and harder than the skull of a thunder beast, and the tentacles behind him are swaying in a weird posture.

The place where he landed was among a large group of giant predator-killing Hydra Hydralisks with blood-red skin and carapace. There were tens of thousands of zerg signals around but they were far away from the nearest base where UED expeditionary soldiers landed.

If this was a landing module carrying human soldiers, the pilot of the spaceship responsible for the delivery was undoubtedly taking human life seriously. Such a mistake may mean that the entire company of soldiers died in vain.

Such things have happened in both the Revolutionary Army and the Federal Army. The transport ship mistakenly sent the Marines into the dense swarm of insects, which caused a terrible tragedy. For this reason, Marines' lack of trust in pilots and commanders is not entirely unfounded.

But it was a hybrid.

When Renault looked towards the screen, this ferocious-looking hybrid was standing among at least 30 huge hydralisks, but the ferocious and brutal zerg in the past did not attack him.

Raynor concluded that this was not due to fear. The zerg were never afraid, they just showed submission.

At the same time, Raynor also noticed that this hybrid was different from the one that appeared in Tarsonis. From a morphological point of view, he was obviously a more perfect creature.

Almost none of the hybrids that appeared before are exactly the same. They seem to be directly transformed from the protoss, and the memories of the past still remain deep in their consciousness. But the ones that appeared today are like clones, surprisingly similar.

As the blue-skinned hybrid roared to the sky, some of the zerg immediately prostrated on the ground as if surrendering. A memory from an extremely long time ago and a mutation from the main hive's mind made them obey. .

The hybrid controls them like a brainworm.

Soon, the zerg controlled by the hybrid began to kill each other with those still subservient to the cerebrates. In the dark sea of ​​​​insects, these landing pods carrying hybrids are as eye-catching as ink spots on white cloth.

"Unforgivable!" Phoenix's anger was obvious: "Humans have stolen the genes of the eldest son of God, and I can hear the wailing of the people who are trapped in the mental cage!"

"They are Earthlings, not Tyranids." Raynor quickly drew a clear line with the UED expeditionary force.

Based on his limited knowledge of zerg and protoss physiology, Raynor speculated that these hybrids seemed to be modified by the aiur protoss, or using their genes.

It seems that the UED expeditionary force used the hybrid after the psychic disruptor came into effect. This is certainly a good move. Of course, it is impossible for people on earth to calculate that there is actually a huge fleet in the home world of Zerg.

The number of Char's protoss fleet is even much greater than the number of fleets in the Daram protoss base camp.

Tyranid humans have very little experience in direct combat with the protoss fleet, and the people on earth are even less clear about how the protoss fleet fights: generally speaking, most of the protoss fleet's warships will be shrouded in the mother ship The invisible force field of the ship and the Arbiter often results in an unparalleled huge fleet that looks like only a few small ships.

This is extremely deceptive. If the pilot of a Wraith fighter rashly attacks a seemingly isolated Protoss Arbiter, he will soon find himself among thousands of gorgeous Protoss warships.

"What now?" Charles asked.

"No matter why, the hybrid monster can effectively restrain the swarm of insects. This shows that the people on earth can now contain more zerg, and we can kill the Overlord in one fell swoop at a lower cost." Renault said.

"Phoenix, use your anger for good."

"Warriors, light your swords and destroy our enemies!" After a moment of silence, Phoenix ordered: "I will kill the enemy side by side with you!"

"Anon por-ghal! (Ready to fight)"

Thanks to the leader of Aronsama!
