StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 772: Glorious Boarding

Before the arrival of the Ark of Doom, the Spear of Doom, Valerian stepped up to evacuate all ground forces still in the temple.

No matter how the Spear of Doom would appear, no one wanted to stand on top of a super-giant ship that was more than ten miles wide. There was no doubt that it was driven by Amon's most crazy servants. This would be a cosmic-level self-destruct train that would hit them at the speed of launch.

When Valerian looked at the last few imperial transport ships that were about to take off, the Xel'Naga Temple under their feet had undergone earth-shaking changes.

With the Xel'Naga Temple and the various dark creations in it as the medium, a huge mouth of the void was opening in the center of the collapsed temple. This is a door to another world, and also a lens that reflects the endless void, just like a tiny hole between the void and reality, a bug eye on a wooden board.

The erosion of the void corruption on reality is particularly eye-catching, like ink splashed on the ground, hundreds of black holes large enough to swallow human bodies constantly emerge on the cracked rock floor of the temple. The twisted curtain stretched out beneath everyone's feet, and the shadows of the void grew like a dark forest, completely engulfing the temple.

The boiling void was extremely cold, and the temperature here began to drop rapidly at a terrifying speed, so that a layer of white frost condensed on the armor of the marines. As time passed, the bone-chilling void energy brought terrible frost storms, almost tearing the surrounding surface. The cold wind was like a razor cutting people, and the evacuation of the Imperial army became increasingly difficult.

The Fallen ruled the void, but had little control over reality. Even so, Amon could exert influence on the material universe through the void catalyst, greatly enhancing his warriors, weakening his enemies, or erasing both along with the entire battlefield.

The Imperial warriors around Valerian fought against the increasingly fierce storm, whispering uneasily, suspecting that these twisted shadows would drag themselves into the void.

These warriors have been fighting with the enemy all night, and they are all tired and hungry. The enhancers injected into each person are enough to give them a headache for a whole day.

In this dark age, people have to be used like machines, and equipment is more valuable than people.

Now, Valerian feels like he is standing on a layer of bubbles that may be punctured at any time, and this layer of bubbles is the last barrier between the void and the material universe. Once it is broken, he and his warriors will be immediately swallowed up by the terrible shadow of the void, just as no one can resist the arrival of the night.

The scientists of the Imperial Emperor claimed that life can undoubtedly survive in the void, but every marine who has dealt with Amon knows that it is useless to talk about scientific evidence with this almost supernatural thing.

The Tal'darim Protoss believes that Amon can control all matter in the void at will, and he is the real god there. Moreover, if the dark god cannot control these mortals in his own home, then he is undoubtedly the biggest clown in the universe.

"Your Highness, everyone is here." Stone arrived with the last group of people. All of them were carrying things in their hands and on their shoulders. Even armored vehicles and walking mechas were used to transport the cargo that sealed the Xel'Naga technology.

These boxes were the same style as the boxes that contained the Xel'Naga artifacts. They were like silver-gray metal coffins with built-in mechanical arms. They were so heavy that they could only be lifted by four armored marines. They contained either mysterious alien relics or other confidential goods of the empire.

Valerian finally decided to pack up and take away those that might be useful. Whether to destroy them or use them for the development of new technologies would be decided by the emperor.

Putting aside some alien artifacts that can corrupt minds, most of the Xel'Naga technology products are not that evil. The most worrying thing is that Amon knows these technologies better than anyone else, and no one wants the weapons they use to suddenly turn the muzzle and point them at themselves.

On the other side, the Protoss were doing the same thing, but they were using warp technology. A large number of Xel'Naga relics sealed in stasis were being quickly transported to their motherships.

The Empire also used the collected Protoss warping technology to build automatic refineries. This crude application alone has saved them a lot of costs. However, it was not until the Spear of Adun was re-exposed that the Protoss, whose ancestral laws were immutable, used similar technology to warp high-energy gas directly onto the Spear of Adun.

Valerian nodded to Stone and asked them to board the plane quickly.

At this time, the sky had begun to snow, and the temperature was so low that even the soldiers in armor could not bear it. If they stayed any longer, before Amon's army tore them apart, this terrible extreme cold could freeze everyone into ice sculptures.

When Valerian's spaceship accelerated away from the surface, the Xel'Naga Temple had been completely engulfed by storms and darkness, and a huge tornado roared past with scarlet void energy.

This remote corner of Basher used to be snowless all year round, but now it is covered with snow, and the moist water vapor has now turned into several feet of snow. However, the snow was extremely strange and had no aesthetic appeal. Even though the weather was getting colder, it did not last long and soon melted away.

Valerian took a last look at the cold wind-swept land through the observation window and realized that the real hard battle had just begun.

As soon as the ship landed on Stukov's flagship, Blood of the Patriot, Valerian found the ship's onboard scientist and asked his team to properly handle this batch of important alien technological relics.

Just as some Imperial warships still retain the position of shipboard chaplains, flagship-class warships will also have more special positions, after all, their enemies are terrible alien creatures such as Protoss and Zerg.

Valerian saw that this young officer, who was not much older than him, was really intimidated. The other party might think that this bunch of idiots Marun brought in the hybrid slices, or that this pile of alien artifacts was mixed with the Dark God's mind controller, and as long as Amon pressed a button in the void, they would all be finished.

These things have happened, but the facts are always far from the rumors.

Then, Valerian handed his troops to other military attachés of Blood of the Patriot, and then went straight to the bridge.

There are twice as many people on the bridge now as when Valerian first arrived. There are staff officers, communications officers and operations officers everywhere. Several technical soldiers are still repairing the electronic equipment damaged by the void disturbance.

In contrast, Valerian is insignificant in Stukov's fleet command. It can operate normally with or without him. All Stukov has to do is make judgments based on the information obtained and issue orders. As for combat support and temporary communications, there are people to help him worry about these issues.

At present, Stukov's tactical staff are stepping up the formulation of combat plans to determine the deployment of troops and firepower of the Imperial Fleet in this war.

The Imperial staff all come from the famous Imperial military academies that have trained a large number of active commanders, or have studied in Korhal after being promoted on the battlefield. Their teachers trained military talents for the Federal Army during the Federation era, and those Federal troops incorporated by the Empire are still the main force of Augustus against the Protoss Zerg.

The way humans fight in the Koprulu sector is still based on the Earth's system, that is, determine the target, concentrate strength, launch surprise attacks, seize the initiative, and annihilate the enemy's living forces. Usually the war will not go as planned, but it will not go too wrong.

But Valerian felt that these people might not get any results after discussing for a few more days. At present, even the Protoss did not know how many terrible things would emerge from the void gate.

Valerian believed that warships of the level of the Spear of Doom must be escorted by a fleet. The fleets of the three tribes enslaved by Amon were very powerful, not to mention that he still controlled the large-scale sky nests of the Overlord.

As for the shadow fleets composed entirely of void energy, perhaps only the holographic projection forces of the Purifier Protoss could fight a head-on war of attrition with them.

"General Stukov, the situation is very clear. Amon is going to use the abundant terazine on this planet to invade reality. This is the biggest counterattack after destroying his evil god host and forcing him to return to the void."

The speaker was Phoenix. He had also returned to his flagship and was talking to Stukov in the communication.

Valerian still remembered that Phoenix finally saw the bundles of Protoss nerve bundles in the Xel'Naga Temple. He usually didn't use ugly faces to describe the expressions of the Protoss, just like it was difficult to see arrogant looks on the faces of Protoss other than the high-level lord Alarak.

All the evidence proved that the researchers serving Amon had mastered the ability to re-transplant nerve bundles for the Protoss. The Protoss knew better than anyone that the significance of this technology was not just the regeneration of broken limbs.

But the question is, do you dare to use it?

Amon had already set a trap for the Protoss on Kara. If Augustus hadn't joined forces with Artanis to counterattack, they would have been defeated long ago.

With this as a lesson, any clear-minded Protoss leader would think that Amon "deliberately" let them find out. For many Protoss, the pain of losing Kara is enough to make them rush to all hopes like moths to a flame. Even a fool knows that even if they return to Kara now, they will be corrupted by Amon again.

The high-ranking Protoss of Daram will probably choose to conceal this news from the people, but if this is really Amon's trick, then the paper will eventually come out.

Let them worry about it themselves.

Valerian didn't know that Narud, who had returned to the void, was still making plans for his master. Even though the years of planning of this cunning and ancient shapeshifter had been destroyed, he was still working hard for the plan of the Dark God.

Amon may not be willing to play tricks with the humans he despised, but Narud doesn't have this idol burden.

"If we don't launch an attack while they are still not stable, it will be too late when other fleets arrive." Here, Stukov obviously thought that they could not avoid this war.

The battlefield situation changes rapidly. By the time Korhal's order arrives, the opportunity is already gone.

Ulna has the largest known void gate, which is large enough for all fleets of humans and Protoss to pass through. It is also guarded by the most powerful fleets of the Terran Empire and the Darram Protoss. If Amon wants to use Ulna to invade the real universe, then all the forces in the universe will be summoned there.

The emperor never wants another Ulna to appear in the empire's territory.

Valerian can't say anything on the side. The command system between the Protoss and humans cannot be coordinated. Basically, they fight each other. Phoenix probably means to send a message to the empire, saying that we are going to rush forward, what do you say?

At this time, when Valerian looked at the Xel'Naga Temple on the screen again, there was basically nothing left there.

The void is the concrete embodiment of the cold and dark space. It is cold and void, but it is so powerful. The other side of the universe is dark and crazy. A huge and bright scarlet scar dominates the starry sky. Countless celestial bodies burning like flames repeat the process of birth and destruction.

Valerian believed that this was the world after the end that Zeratul spoke of.

The stars are extinguished, and everything dies. On those planets where no life will ever be born again, the sky of every world is scarlet, and there will be no change in 10 billion years.

As Phoenix said, the Spear of Doom does come from the ground.

The minions of the God of Darkness stole the launcher of the Ark ship Nessin's Memory and used it to launch the Ark of Destruction, which was extremely shocking even from a high-altitude orbit.

This is the most gorgeous and grotesque warship that Valerian has ever seen. She stands like the Spear of Adon and points straight into the sky. The majestic iron-black hull is embedded with ice-blue void corrupted crystal cores. There are horrifying annihilation structure diagrams and painful structures all over the world, powering the most terrifying destruction matrix in history. Those extremely huge facilities, just by looking at them, you can tell that they were made by Eamon, and they are extremely majestic. This doomsday ark houses a vast star forge, used to construct corrupted protoss war machines for the Dark Gods.

This is an ark built only for the purpose of war. Its heart is a void celestial body with appalling density. Everything is created for the purpose of destruction.

The original intention of building the Protoss Ark is not to win a doomsday war in the distant future. As the name implies, they exist to preserve the last fire of the Protoss civilization. Even so, even if it is not built purely for the purpose of war, any Ark is the largest and most powerful super battleship Valerian has ever seen, bar none.

The Spear of Doom was born out of the Dark God's hatred for endless reincarnation, and was born only for destruction. It's hard to imagine how powerful she would be.

At this moment, dozens of huge Imperial battlecruisers were lined up outside the porthole windows. They were all terrifying monsters with numerous turrets and bright lights. Dots of Imperial fighter planes kept flashing in the distance.

At this time, at least several thousand main gun crews were busy. The first salvo of the Yamato cannon was considered crucial. If a large number of enemy warships could be kicked out of the battlefield at the beginning of the war, , then we can seize the advantage.

But is this enough to deal with the Spear of Doom?

It may only make Doomsday Spear busy, but it will not bring her more trouble. After all, they do not have weapons that can destroy this kind of battleship.

The Spear of Doom is not a target, she can move and run.

"I didn't know that such a warship would take off from the ground every time it appeared. It can be seen that Eamon can't just throw her into our universe, otherwise it will be unnecessary." Stukov said:

"Executor, I have an idea."

"Very well, before she takes off, my Templars will board her deck and blow her up." Phoenix said, "I will crush all enemies like bugs."

".I mean, we should concentrate our firepower to destroy her from high-altitude orbit." Compared with Phoenix, Stukov also felt that his combat plan was a bit conservative, but after all, he was not someone like Phoenix who could tear apart hybrids with his hands. Al Macho.

"I don't think this will work, but it can be done at the same time." Phoenix said: "You bomb, we board." (End of Chapter)
