StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

After the storm, the sunset at the Gracius facility was more beautiful than usual. Dangerous peaks stand tall in the distance, and small pieces of light golden clouds float in little by little, which is so beautiful. The sea breeze blew the rows of imperial flags, and under the setting sun stood the Royal Marines with their heads held high. They stood motionless and silent, waiting for the emperor's order.

The Science and Technology Collection Hall is one of the few buildings in Gracius' facilities that is still intact after the war. This white-gold building is shrouded in a rose-colored light, and the harmonic resonance of the Purifier Matrix hums.

Augustus and Artanis, the senior executive of Durham, were standing on the suppression tower outside the science and technology collection hall to discuss countermeasures. This towering purifier tower is built on the coast, connected to a core matrix tower that towers over the sky. Thousands of golden-orange matrix flashes echo the gorgeous rays of light.

Opposite them is a calm blue fjord, and on the other side are the guards led by Imperial Marshal Jim Raynor and Duram Protoss Archon Phoenix.

"Where are the ancient Purifiers being sealed now?" Both Augustus and Artanis believed that they must have a detailed face-to-face discussion about what had just happened. Orega may not yet be worthy of the protoss and human armies, but what really worries the leaders of both sides is the power behind him.

"The original Purifiers were placed in high-altitude orbit on the planet Aedion and sealed in their fortress battleship Cybros." Artanis understood the concerns of the human emperor.

"After the rebellion of the ancient Purifiers was quelled, they were sealed inside the Cybros. Subsequently, this huge Purifier fortress was cut off from energy and sent into its current orbit." He said:

"Only under deemed most urgent circumstances will the Cybros and its Purifiers be reawakened. The Purifiers have long been a symbol of accomplishment but danger."

"In this case, do the protoss on Aedion have enough strength to deal with an upcoming attack?" Augustus asked Artanis as he stared at the turbulent sea.

Dark Archon Orega has learned about the grudges between the ancient Purifiers and the Protoss Empire, so it is obvious what he will do next.

Since the Protoss Empire has personally created a powerful military force that is extremely uncontrollable and extremely hostile to its creator, Orega will not miss such a good opportunity. Orega will definitely awaken the Purifiers and even try to control them. Of course, he is an extremely smart person and is more likely to cause a war by provoking the relationship between the awakened Purifiers and the Dalam protoss.

Orega has dedicated himself to revenge, and he knows the taste of hatred. As long as the hands of one party are splashed with the blood of the other party, there will never be peace.

Purifiers are born for war, and waging and winning a war is nothing more than a common occurrence for them. Their mothership, the Cybros, is a mobile Star Destroyer. The manufacturing matrix inside the production center on it can continuously produce the terrifying Purifier Legion. These mechanical warriors who are not afraid of death and time will become the main force that engulfs the entire planet. A mechanical disaster throughout the entire world of Durham.

The Purifiers can even be regarded as a new protoss race and a new civilization. They can even develop, improve and produce new weapons according to the war situation to adapt to the new era.

The Protoss Empire has long been weakened, and its strength is far less than it once was. The once-suppressed Purifier rebellion is very likely to evolve into another epic interstellar war.

The Purifier Protoss even have their own version of the Kara, a data network that links all Purifiers together, allowing all Purifiers to speak, communicate, and share information—though not emotions.

The Datanet was seen as a poor, pale replacement for the Kara, and the Protoss engineers who designed it probably never imagined that the Protoss would lose the Kara.

"We have to worry about possible attacks by Orega and his minions. Aedion is a scientific research planet with about 800,000 Kalai living on it. They are all the top scientists of the Protoss Empire." Atta Nice was much more anxious than Augustus. Sometimes, the strong emotional fluctuations of the protoss can directly touch the soul without the need for expression in spiritual language.

"As you know, Kalai are not good at fighting. Their duty is to engage in research, invention and creation, not to kill enemies." He said: "There are also a group of saints stationed on Aedion. Don Samurai troops, but that’s obviously not enough.”

"After Tassadar learned of this, he has already begun to send additional fleets to Aedion to completely blockade the entire system."

This is the advantage of the Templar class now leading the protoss instead of the Arbitrator class. An excellent commander with excellent strategic vision can quickly make a keen response to the situation and deploy troops as quickly as possible. Even on a battlefield that often spans thousands of light years, rapid reaction and response are particularly important.

"Blockade? This is indeed the best approach at the moment." Augustus was silent for a while and then said: "But what should we do in the future? You can't station a huge fleet in Aidiang for a long time."

If the Purifiers awakened from their mothership, the Cybros, and found themselves surrounded by a massive protoss fleet, they might not think it was there to "protect" them.

"In fact, we are preparing to do that." Artanis was helpless: "These are extraordinary times. The plan to expedition to Aiur has been blocked, and Orega's army is raging in various distant Durham worlds. If those ancient batches The Purifier awakens again. The consequences will be disastrous."

"If you have enough troops to guard it, there is no need for the Tyran Empire to interfere in this matter." Augustus also nodded: "The swarm of insects is still threatening the southern border of the Tyran Empire, and we have too much to take care of ourselves."

When the second Overlord invaded the Koprulu Sector, even though the current Terran Empire fleet had increased 10 times compared to before, it was inevitably unable to defend the vast empire border.

There is no doubt that even the remnants of the Protoss Empire Armada are not something that the Tyranid humans can touch, not to mention the current golden fleet is known as the largest fleet in the history of the Protoss.

If there is any trouble that even the protoss cannot solve, Augustus may not have a better solution. He originally hoped to bring some reinforcements to Ram, but now even the protoss' own homes It's also a whirlwind affair.

For Augustus, the top priority was to stabilize the western empire border that was invaded by Orega and eliminate the scavenger pirates who were helping the region.

"Your Majesty, the Terran Empire has helped us a lot." Artanis was also sincerely grateful for Augustus' help.

As long as the leaders of the Tyranid Empire and the Duram Protoss are still Augustus and Tassadar, the relationship between the two races will inevitably continue to improve.

"Compared to whether Edion will be attacked by Orega, I am more worried about another thing." Artanis said to Augustus:

"As for how to deal with the ancient Purifiers, the Light and Shadow Council of Sagulath has held an emergency meeting. Some bishops believe that in order to eliminate the possible threat posed by the Purifiers, the Cybros must be completely destroyed. Compared to The voices of the more conservative bishops cannot be ignored, especially represented by Rohana, the Supreme Protector on the Spear of Adon."

"Artanis, I can't give you any better advice on this." Augustus realized that this was a problem that even he had not considered. The Purifier Protoss had always been regarded as a threat. It's just that for thousands of years they have been banned and almost forgotten.

Protector Rohana is indeed an unstable factor that is unexpected by Augustus. This protector of the protoss from the Golden Age can be said to be a representative of conservative ideas. Wanting her to change her mind cannot be solved with just a few words. of.

On the other hand, Dark Archon Orega is the character most affected by the Butterfly Effect.

Orega was originally mainly active from the eve of the Brood War to Wings of Freedom, which was 3 to 4 years ago. In 2503, he was sealed by the protoss protector Zamara, which did not affect the subsequent plot. .

Since Augustus made the first choice that affected the course of history, many things have become different from the past. Orega faced a more powerful Duram protoss. The protoss force was led by the highly prestigious Tassadar. He could only take risks for revenge.

And Orega is so powerful and so close to the Void and Xel'Naga, he is more likely to be affected by darker influences when his sword takes a wrong turn.

"But the Purifiers are likely to be a vital force. They may be designed for enemies like the Zerg." Augustus then said to Artanis: "The Purifiers are machines, they are not Fear of a war of attrition against the swarm.”

Because too many people were lost in the Battle of Aiur, the protoss had to develop intelligent machines to make up for the lack of military strength. Weapons like the Mechanical Sentinel were born for this purpose.

"Yes, that is why Tassadar strongly opposes the destruction of the Purifiers." Artanis still seemed very worried: "But the situation exceeded our expectations. The disagreement on how to deal with the Purifiers has triggered another dispute in the council. A greater conflict, and they fear the Purifiers as we once feared the Dark Templar."

"Tassadar is not in Sagulath and cannot lead the proceedings, and the matriarch of the Nerazim has long since ceased to interfere in politics."

"Tassadar must be very tired with a Protoss Empire on his back." Augustus felt deeply. Fortunately, there are no tit-for-tat ethnic conflicts in the Tyranid Empire, which is why it did not completely annex the Kemorian Commonwealth and the United States of Umoyan.

"This is our responsibility, Your Majesty, and we are deeply honored by it," Artanis said.

"Augustus, we captured a leader of the Scavenger Pirates. He claimed that he knew the hiding place of Alan Shezar, but he would only tell you." At this time, Tychus Finley led several Imperial soldiers escorted a scavenger pirate leader towards Augustus.

"This bastard has wet his pants with fear. As long as you scare him, he will tell you the color of Shezal's underwear."

"Because he knows that his life can be saved only if I speak." Augustus motioned to Tychus to bring the man up. According to the laws of the Terran Empire, a pirate is either hanged or sent to a resocialization plant, euphemistically called waste utilization.

It was a man wearing a black jacket and polyester pants, with a funny moustache on his face. This man must be extremely dirty and cowardly at heart, so much so that Artanis next to him felt deeply disgusted and stayed away as if he saw something extremely disgusting.

"Your Majesty, every time I see these compatriots of yours, I admire you and James Raynor's noble character even more," he said to Augustus.

"By the way, I heard that those Purifier Star Spirits can perfectly copy a person's consciousness. Is this true?" Tychus asked.

"The Protoss can copy your personality if that's what you want," Augustus replied.

"No, it's enough for the Terran Empire to have a bastard like me." Tychus smiled shyly.

This pirate must have known Augustus. As soon as he arrived, he bowed his head and bowed, shouting something like "long live my emperor," with tears and snot flowing down his face.

"Great Emperor Augustus, we finally have your army here!" The little scavenger pirate leader looked really heartbroken.

The name Augustus the Great is not enough to stop a baby from crying, but pirates and criminals will probably cry when they hear this name.

"It sounds like you have suffered a lot of grievances." Augustus smiled: "Didn't Alan Shezar give you food?"

"." The little leader choked immediately. He originally thought that the emperor would reprimand him coldly, and then order his body to be cut into pieces and sunk into the sea, but the other party seemed to be asking him if he had eaten.

"No, if you understand our situation, you will know that Alan Shezal can't help himself." He took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and then said:

Allen was actually coerced by Orega. At first, he used a huge commission to ask us to provide him with a fleet. But ever since Orega turned into a crazy monster, things have gotten out of control. His Protoss Dark Templar secretly controlled Alan and captains like me, forcing us to fight for him. "

"How much is this commission?" Tychus next to him asked briefly.

"It's enough for Allen to form another scavenger fleet, and it's much larger than the previous one." The little boss said.

"So, you are indeed forced to have no choice." Augustus said kindly: "Then where is Alan Shezal?"

"Alan is on Orega's Xel'Naga spaceship - he must have been driven crazy by those protoss, and he is more cruel than ever before." The little boss said:

"I know where the Xel'Naga spaceship is. It's in a place called Zakul. Your Majesty, I just ask you to spare my life."

"Zakuul?" Artanis was surprised: "That's the holy place where the protectors live!"

"This is true." The other party emphasized again.

"Okay, this news is worth saving your life." Augustus ordered the pirate to be taken away: "I hope you have a good time in New Folsom."
