"Dear viewers in front of the TV, welcome to the UNN studio. This is Vormilian's live report! So far, the number of people killed in our colonies due to various attacks by the Blade Queen insect swarm has reached billions. ...The imperial fleet is currently engaged in a fierce battle with the insect swarm in the XX sector, and the current losses are very serious..."
Sarah…
Jim Raynor, the leader of the Rangers, is the number one public enemy of the Mengsk Empire!
At this moment, he was drinking depressedly in the bar of his flagship, the Hyperion. After just drinking a glass of wine, he looked up at the TV report hanging on the wall of the bar, and then began to fall into self-blame and painful memories again...
So far, Renault and his Rangers are still active in various entanglements and battles with the human Mengsk Empire, but their lives are still relatively difficult.
Because Mengsk has always regarded Renault's existence as a challenge to his imperial authority, and has been using various methods to suppress him and his ranger resistance!
After all, Mengsk's Son of Korhal made his fortune by rebelling and defeating the old federation. Now, he has finally become the king of the human Mengsk Empire. How could he tolerate Renault, who broke away from the Son of Korhal and established himself on the mountain? How did you rebel and succeed? !
Therefore, the hostility and fighting between the two sides have become irreconcilable conflicts!
The good gay friends in the past suddenly turned against each other and turned against each other!
This actually has nothing to do with right or wrong, but only the positions of both parties and a political issue of principle.
Compared with the increasingly large Mengsk Empire, Renault's ranger force is too small and too small to be on the stage...
Of course, the reason why Mengsk has not sent anyone to kill Renault is also a little worried. Is he afraid that after assassinating the opponent, Renault will become a martyr in public opinion? After all, no matter what, this Renault also has a high reputation in the human camp and the Mengsk Empire.
Therefore, Propaganda Commissioner Mengsk, who relied on public opinion, chose to first try to continuously inflict various blows on Renault and his followers. At the same time, he used public opinion and military operations to squeeze the opponent's living space and resolutely refused to allow them any repairs or accumulation. The slightest chance of strength is intended to make this force that is still sympathetic in public opinion die out and disband bit by bit.
"Sarah..."
After muttering something to himself, Renault lowered his head and stopped paying attention to the TV hanging on the wall. Instead, he filled up his own cup and drank the strong liquor in the metal cup in one gulp.
Raise a cup to relieve your sorrow, and your sorrow will become even worse...
He, Raynor, always believed that he was also very much at fault for Sarah Louise Kerrigan's transformation into insect form and the reason why she killed so many people...
In the first place, he shouldn't have let her stay alone on the planet and be swallowed by the sea of insects...
If I had the ability to save her in the first place...
At the same time, he also hated Arcturus Mengsk's behavior of abandoning Sarah and allowing the swarm to drown her!
This is also one of the motivations for him to fight against the Mengsk Empire over the years!
That bastard Mengsk not only destroyed his Renault woman, but also repeated the mistakes of the old federation, and his rule was no better than that of the old federation. Then of course he, Renault, was going to rebel against the other party!
Therefore, it happened before that he launched a huge uprising among the Sons of Khar, broke into the Delali Shipyard, and took away the Hyperion, Mengsk's flagship.
Now, this Hyperion, this Mengsk Empire, the flagship of the original Autonomous Federation, has become the mount of his Chief Sheriff Lei!
At the same time, it is also a large-tonnage behemoth-class space main battleship. Because it is equipped with a powerful firepower system, a more powerful nuclear fusion reactor, and super-alloy high-strength armor with an outer wall thickness of more than ten meters, and Combat functions such as space distortion teleportation jump and neutron fusion Yamato cannon make this battlecruiser look more like a starry sky fortress?
It can be said without mercy that this ship was the most advanced battlecruiser built by mankind at that time! Because, it can even activate the Yamato main gun or perform a time and space jump at the same time as the secondary gun fires!
It is precisely because of this that Renault has been able to deal with the Mengsk Empire for such a long time in these years, but the other party has nothing to do with him.
Didi didi...
After finishing another glass of wine, he felt a little tipsy. Renault, who was about to ask someone to refill his glass, suddenly discovered that the communicator on his wrist rang at this moment.
"You are disturbing me at this time. Is there anything urgent? Dr. Hansen?"
After thinking about it, Renault still reluctantly clicked the button to connect. At the same time, he looked at a female holographic avatar that appeared and asked in a teasing tone.
This intellectual and beautiful young woman wearing glasses is Ariel Hansen, a Ph.D. in biochemical engineering who graduated from Tarsonis University.
At the same time, the other party is also a young... female academic!
Not long ago, when the worms attacked Agria, Ariel Hansen sent a distress signal to all channels in the universe, asking anyone to help them evacuate civilians.
Therefore, Sheriff Lei, who happened to be passing by at that time, was very bored and saw a distress letter from a beautiful woman. Without thinking, he jumped over and saved the other party.
Of course, after Renault agreed and helped Ariel successfully evacuate all the survivors on the planet, in return, the female schoolmaster Ariel stayed on the Hyperion, which was quite a kind of commitment. mean……
And began to work hard to improve the medical measures on this battleship for Jim Reynolds and others. (Because, at the time, she actually called the medical facilities on Renault’s ship “medieval medical standards.”)
Therefore, the other party has stayed until now.
From Reno's point of view, saving a colonial planet and easily getting a beautiful doctor to help improve the medical facilities on the battleship was a pretty good deal!
If his heart hadn't belonged to Salad, maybe he could have had an affair with the female doctor now, right? In that case, this deal might be more cost-effective?
"Jim! My people have established a new colony on Haven. Everything was going well, but now I suddenly lost contact with them! No response was received on any frequency call I sent! We must Go to Haven now to figure out the situation.”
"I'm a little worried that they may have been infected with Meinhof's zerg virus, and what's even more terrible is that the territory of the protoss is near Haven. Jim, please help me again. They I’m afraid something big is going to happen!”
As soon as he turned on the communicator, Dr. Ariel Hansen's urgent voice rang out. From this, it can be seen that this matter may indeed be quite urgent?
"Haven Star...?"
Hearing this, Renault frowned. He seemed to have heard of this Haiwen star.
This planet seems to be in a remote star field, and it is also on the edge of the protoss territory? Isn’t it around or on the route of your warship’s planned sailing destination?
This... is obviously not a smooth sailing thing!
Besides, it seems a bit far if you go around it...
Thinking of this, Renault seemed a little hesitant. This matter made him feel a little embarrassed.
"Jim, please, help my people! Please..."
As soon as he saw that Renault seemed a little hesitant, Ariel Hansen quickly spoke and continued to plead.
Now, the only resistance organization that can help her people on Haven Star is Reno's Rangers.
As for the empire, it definitely can’t be counted on! After all, before that, when the insect swarm attacked Aglia, the imperial army had ruthlessly abandoned them. How could they still count on the troops of the Mengsk Empire that time? Those bastards can only collect taxes, collect taxes!
"Okay, I understand...I'm going to ask Matt Horner to give the order for the Hyperion to make a detour to Star Haven first!"
A school-top beauty begged him in a pleading tone. When he heard the other party's intellectual and soft voice, Chief Lei's bones melted. In addition to fighting with the protoss that might appear, he also What can be done?
"Thank you, Jim..."
————
"Sir, we are now close to Star Haven, but there is still no reply to our call!"
Soon, after Renault gave Matt Horner the order, and when he ended his drinking time early and walked to the bridge, his ship, the Hyperion, had successfully jumped to Haven. near the track.
"Sir! There is something new! Our radar is in orbit and has discovered a fleet, which is the fleet of the protoss!"
Before he could finish the previous sentence, the alarm in the bridge immediately sounded.
Then, Matt Horner quickly discovered a large fleet belonging to the Protoss on the radar in the synchronous orbit of the Haven star. There seemed to be more than a dozen aircraft carriers. Are there others he didn't recognize?
"They are jamming all communications with the ground...and, no! They seem to be charging the battleship's main weapons to attack the planet!"
After staring at the radar for a while, Captain Matt Horner screamed.
Here, it is indeed a good thing done by the stars! Moreover, the other party seems to be ruthless against Hai Wenxing? That's a whole fleet. How big a hatred it is to use large warships to deal with a human agricultural colony planet...
"Jim! We must stop them as soon as possible..."
Dr. Hansen was anxious and trotted to Renault's side, looking at him expectantly.
"Okay, okay...Matt, open the communication channel to contact the protoss. We need to see their diplomatic attitude first."
Unable to stand the pleading and expectant look in the beautiful academic doctor's eyes, Renault had no choice but to turn around and give an order to the captain.
Anyway, he, Chief Inspector Lei, had a wide range of contacts and even had contacts with many high-level leaders of the protoss forces. So, he decided to contact the other party first to see if he knew him, and then have a good talk. ?
If you can avoid fighting, it is better to make peace the most valuable thing!
After all, their ranger force is already fighting against the Mengsk Empire and the insect swarm. If they start fighting with the protoss without saying a word, then even if they are all enemies, the future will be even worse. Mixed up!
"En Taro Tassadar, Jim Raynor! I am High Executive Thrandis. I know you. We have heard of your heroic battle on Aiur for a long time."
As soon as the holographic communication interface was opened, a Protoss executive with blue skin and bright white glowing eyes, who looked like a faceless man, greeted Renault immediately.
In fact, their protoss had already discovered and recognized each other when Renault's Hyperion jumped over. She had been waiting for the other party's communication request.
"En Taro Tassadar, Thrandis, listen - please forgive me, I think you should withdraw your fleet immediately now. Believe me, the humans on Haven have nothing to do with you protoss. threaten."
As soon as he heard the other party speak and seemed to recognize himself, Renault became a little more energetic. It seemed that this matter was something to discuss?
Sure enough, he felt that he was doing pretty well on his own!
Take a look? So far, Sheriff Thunder has not only managed to get along well in the Human Empire, but many of the old Sons of Korhal still have sympathy and good impressions of him.
Queen Kelgan of the swarm was once his ex-girlfriend. Even now, the top leaders of the protoss forces know her, and they seemed to admire her a little bit when they heard her tone just now. ?
If a person can get to this point, what else is there to complain about? So, if we can avoid fighting now, it would be better to resolve the misunderstanding quickly.
When these protoss came to Haiwen Star, they must have thought that humans were going to build a military base or administrative star here, right? In fact, they don’t have to worry at all!
This is because the humans of Haven Star are just refugees who fled from the planet Aglia and were disappointed with the empire. They plan to settle here on Haven Star. From now on, this place will only be an agricultural planet and will definitely not have any influence on the protoss. Any threats!
"I'm sorry, Jim Raynor! Our detectors found that the spores of the swarm's brood are releasing infections. They (all humans on Haven) must be purified! If you are willing to help us implement this If it’s a mission, we won’t object.”
I don't know what he was thinking, but Thrandis actually used a welcoming tone to invite Renault to help them complete the task of purifying mankind.
Maybe she admires Renault? Or maybe she didn't want the protoss to be charged with killing humans?
And if humans are allowed to purify the infected residents of Haven Star themselves, presumably the powerful Mengsk Empire or other humans will not have any excuse to blame their protoss, right?
"No! Jim, although there are a large number of mutant creatures here, and they may indeed be infected, we must not watch them be killed by the protoss like this! If, if you can help me contain the protoss, , I will definitely be able to find a cure in the shortest time! Please..."
As soon as he heard what the protoss executive said, and that the other party seemed to know Renault and invited him to participate in the purification operation of the protoss, Dr. Hansen, who was standing aside, immediately became anxious.
There are still so many humans on Planet Haven, even if some of them have mutated, even if all of them may be infected! But how could we kill them all just because they were infected? This is so cruel!
Ariel believes that as long as Jim is willing to hold back the Star Spirit, she herself will be able to find a cure in the shortest possible time!
It will definitely work! Ariel believes in her own strength!
Besides, now, she herself is also infected by the Zerg virus. This was discovered during the analysis of her blood samples. If she can't find an antidote before the mutation occurs... then, she is willing to work with Her people will face it together, even if they are purified by the stars, she will have no regrets!
"The only way to cure the infection is the purification of fire! I believe you know this very well, Jim Raynor?"
Thrandis almost stopped laughing when he heard that the female human was brazen enough to say that she could find a cure for the zerg virus.
You know, not even the protoss can do anything about the viruses infected by the insect swarm, let alone humans whose technology seems not to be as advanced and developed as their protoss!
"No! I believe I can do it! Jim, please believe me, please!"
Dr. Han Sen, a beautiful academic master, is very confident in his skills and knowledge!
She herself is a Ph.D. in biochemical engineering who graduated from Tarsonis University, and she is also a super young female academic who has published a lot about human evolution, research on psionic mutations, bacteriology, insect cell characteristics, etc. thesis!
Those aliens will never understand the world of human academic masters!
How can they question their own knowledge? Could her Ariel's abilities be understood by those alien barbarians who only know how to fight or connect their heads together?
"this……"
Hearing this, Renault felt a little embarrassed again.
Before he could unfold his charm and start negotiating, the situation suddenly took a turn and asked him to directly choose one of two multiple-choice questions?
Look at this side, the beautiful doctor begging you that she is one of your own; and on the other side, there is the high-level executive officer of the protoss with a powerful fleet...
If a fight really breaks out, it will be difficult for the two sides to meet each other in the future...
"If you choose to thwart our mission, then, Jim Raynor, we will have a glorious battle! Make your decision, and I await your answer!"
Seemingly sensing the other party's hesitation, Thrandis spoke quickly and made a small threat.
On the one hand, she was a little wary of this legendary human resistance officer with excellent commanding skills. On the other hand, she heard that this man had contacts with the top leaders of their protoss, so as long as he did not come to hinder her mission, she was not too worried about it. Hope to play against each other.
"..."
"I'm sorry, Thrandis, but I chose to protect our human colony!"
Hearing that the other party dared to threaten him, Renault was so angry that he directly chose to help the humans in the colony fight against the protoss!
You know, for so many years, he, Raynor and the Insect Swarm, fought with the old Human Federation, and the UED Expeditionary Force, and fought with the current Mengsk Empire for so many years, how could he, Chief Sheriff Lei, have ever been afraid of anyone? ? !
Moreover, he, Renault, had a close relationship with the Protoss high-level officials when he went to fight in El, and even went to the battlefield to fight side by side!
And now, a small star spirit executive from the other side dares to threaten him. If he, Renault, really gives in and pretends to be his grandson, how can he still mess around in the future?
So, no matter what, he has to fight these stars today! Win first and then talk! In the future, if you have the chance, just explain it to your acquaintances in the protoss, right?
Furthermore, Dr. Hansen, a beautiful academic master, is much more eye-catching than the home planet spirit Thrandis, who does not conform to human aesthetic standards!
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will never watch you protoss destroy the entire Haven colony, Thrandis!"
The current situation of the Renault Rangers is actually quite difficult, and the current situation is a great opportunity to win over the people of a colonial planet. Renault is not stupid, how could he give up such a God-given opportunity?
"Then, I sincerely look forward to fighting you on the battlefield. Your commanding ability is famous far and wide. I hope... you are not in vain?!"
After hearing that the other party was stubborn and still wanted to save those humans who were infected by the zerg virus and were destined to die, Thrandis's tone quickly became cold.
"See you on the battlefield!"
Not enough words to speculate!
Since the negotiations between the two parties had broken down and the opinions could not be unified, after finishing what she said, she rudely and unilaterally cut off the communication channel between the two parties.
"Thank you, Jim! Thank you very much!"
"No matter what happened on Haven, my people should be protected. Believe me, Jim, we will succeed. I will definitely develop an antidote! Definitely!"
After saying that, Dr. Hansen stepped forward and hugged Renault gratefully, and then hurriedly left the bridge.
Now, she needs to hurry up and return to her medical laboratory to complete the experimental plan she had designed long ago and develop an antidote to cure the zerg virus infection as soon as possible!
Moreover, this time must be fast!
"Sir, the Protoss fleet is already approaching the Haven Star colony, and they are preparing to attack! Are they and the terrifying Purifier spacecraft?"
After the Protoss cut off communication and Dr. Hansen hurriedly left the bridge, Captain Matt immediately reported the movements of the Protoss fleet to Renault.
Now that Renault has decided, he won't say more.
However, Matt always felt that today's battle was a bit difficult to fight. After all, the strength gap between the two sides was really too big...
"Hmph! We must stop that Purifier spacecraft from destroying the whole place. Matt, let Ariel order everyone on Haven to retreat to the main base! And now, we are preparing to parachute troops down!"
Seeing the Star Spirits starting a fight over a disagreement, Renault was also angry!
Therefore, he also decided to parachute his base command center as soon as possible, quickly use the colonial gathering place on the ground to build a main base on the ground, and mobilize his troops to fight against the protoss!
Best, can it directly destroy the opponent's Purge spacecraft?
"Sir! It seems that the shield of the opponent's Purification spacecraft cannot be broken through?"
At this time, Captain Matt reported another important piece of information, and at the same time switched the screen, watching the militiamen of the colony above frantically attacking the spacecraft, he said with a little worry.
Countless human militias, marines, tanks or robot missiles are frantically attacking the huge protoss spaceship floating above the planet. Unfortunately, their attacks cannot even break through the opponent's shield. In the end, he could only give up his life in vain.
Shield? Invincible?
Hum hum…
From the screen scanned by the radar, after seeing the Marines and armed robots in the ground colony attacking the opponent's shield in vain, Renault immediately found a way to deal with it. After all, he, Renault, was a high-level official with the Protoss. Having fought side by side, he had already figured out the details of the protoss.
So he decided that after he parachuted onto the Haiwen Star later, he would first operate on the star spirit hubs of the star spirits and destroy them directly!
At that time, without the energy supply of the Protoss Purification spacecraft, what else can we use to open the shield? And without the shield, Chief Lei has many ways to deal with the opponent!
"Okay, Matt! I'm going to follow the troops to parachute to the ground in Haven. I'll leave this place above space to you first! You have to pay attention: If the stars don't attack you, you will You can ignore them now!"
Judging from the movements of the Protoss fleet, Renault seemed to have seen some hints from the other party.
It seems that the high-level executive named Thrandis wants to have a competition with him, Renault, on the planet's surface? And the outcome of winning or losing is related to the life and death of the humans on Haiwen Star?
This is a bit interesting...
"Yes! Sir! Please don't worry!"
After seeing Renault turn around and walk out of the bridge, Matt once again returned to his captain's command position, paying close attention to the dynamics of Haven and all protoss forces in orbit.
————
"Executive Officer Thrandis, in the orbit of Haiwen, we discovered a new warping wave. There are unknown large ships jumping over! Number one? It seems to be another heavy battlecruiser of mankind!"
At this time, in the Thrandis aircraft carrier flagship in space, a protoss communication soldier suddenly shouted in surprise.
Then, in the next moment, when several Protoss hubs of the Protoss had just deployed on the surface of the planet Haven and dispatched the invulnerable Purification spacecraft to carry out targeted purification of the human colony on the planet Haven; when Raynor's The command center and interstellar port landed on the ground and established a main base, preparing to confront the protoss forces; near the orbit of Star Haven, a huge heavy battlecruiser suddenly jumped over!
A huge battleship that has no records in either the protoss archive database or the Hyperion, a heavy battlecruiser with a large No. 01 on the Hyun!
…
This is the first of the five battleships produced by the Hope. At the same time, it is also the flagship of Little Annie-the great Führer!
"Radar chief! Scan the entire planet and nearby areas immediately! I seem to have seen the enemy!"
As soon as he jumped over, Colonel Doug, as the adjutant of the head of state, immediately gave the order.
Now, for the time being, only their flagship has jumped over to investigate the situation. Once the conditions are right, the subsequent large forces and the colony ship Hope will jump over at the next moment.
"Wow...human natives, bugs, freaks and...a group of bad alien aliens are fighting with humans?!"
There was no need for radar soldiers to investigate. Little Annie took the lead in using her own perception to scan the entire planet.
Coupled with the fact that the radar detected the Hyperion, which was also a heavy battlecruiser, and the alien fleet in the distance, she had a rough idea of what was going on here.
It seems that some local indigenous humans are resisting the alien invasion? In this case, if they help each other escape the aliens, will they give themselves a planet as a thank you gift?
"Way? You humans and aliens here all listen to me!"
After sitting in the captain's seat and thinking about it, and rolling her eyes, little Annie quickly made up her mind.
Then, she directly opened regional communications and issued communication requests directly to the entire planet and the human and alien fleets in orbit around the planet using unencrypted channels.
"Now! I declare: From today on, the planet in front of me, and all the surrounding star fields I can see, are the land of our heroic nation! You crooked star villains, I order you to leave my planet as soon as possible Territory! Otherwise, we will beat you!"
When she saw several communication interfaces appearing on the holographic screen of the bridge, and those people were looking at her curiously, little Annie excitedly stood up from the captain's position and began to announce loudly.
"It's ridiculous! Where did this stupid human child come from? He just doesn't know what to say!"
Before he could say anything, the senior executive Thrandis almost laughed angrily when he heard what the little girl said.
This Haiwen planet is on the edge of their star spirit territory. In her long life, she has never heard that this planet has an owner!
If the humans who had recently settled here hadn't occupied it, she believed that this planet would still be an undeveloped, habitable and wild planet until now, right?
Besides, she, Thrandis, has never heard of the heroic alliance of Lao Shizi! When did humans have this country and power again?
"Please watch your words! This alien who was just talking to you is the supreme head of our federation!"
Hearing that the other party's words were poor and seemed to look down on his own side, Colonel Doug immediately stood up with a sullen face.
Now, although she is also a little confused, why does this alien speak the language of earthlings? Why are there other humans here?
Could it be that in the more than a hundred years since they were exiled, UPL's colonies have developed to the center of the galaxy? !
"Hmph! What nonsense are you talking to her about? Hurry up and let the troops jump over!"
When she heard that the other party dared to scold her, little Annie already secretly hated the other party's big blue pony face!
Then, she began to ask the communications officer to directly contact other troops and warships, asking them to jump over quickly.
"Your Excellency Executive Officer Thrandis! Monitor the jump signal of the opponent's large-scale fleet! The opponent has three... no! There are five heavy battlecruisers in total! There is also a huge starship! In addition, there is an aircraft carrier, There is also a... flying base?"
Amid the exclamations of the protoss commander, and the surprised looks of the humans on the ground and Captain Matt of the Hyperion, a group of unusually large human fleets suddenly jumped over next to the battleship of unknown origin... …
"What?!"
Thrandis was also surprised for a moment, and quickly came to the side of the Protoss Radar.
Soon, she saw the five heavy battlecruisers lined up on the screen, as well as a huge mothership and a group of strange fleets behind them.
