"I'm sorry to disturb you at this time, Mr. Executive Officer Thrandis!"
"Because, something special has just happened here: our Templar's ground offensive operations were blocked, and they suffered heavy losses..."
Above the synchronized orbit of the Haiwen star, in the bridge command room of a huge Protoss aircraft carrier of the Protoss Golden Fleet, suddenly, a Protoss intelligence officer who was operating in front of a certain psychic device stood in panic. Get up and report loudly to Thrandis who is taking charge of the situation.
"What happened?!"
Ground troops blocked? Still suffered heavy losses?
Thrandis felt a little puzzled. Originally, they had not planned to send ground troops to clear out the infected humans. Before, they had only sent out a group of Templars to compete with those humans.
In her opinion, the fanatics who were sent to the ground to clean the infected human bases and prevent humans from escaping and spreading the virus should have completed their mission by this time and cleaned the first human colony gathering. The ground is attacking the next gathering place.
The large human armies in the colonies had been almost wiped out by their fleets before, and the remaining militiamen should not be their opponents, right?
But now, they are saying that there is a new situation? What else could happen?
She knew very well that their fleet's radar detected: Renault and his Rangers were mobilizing a large number of large fighters with unknown intentions. They must be trying to raid her ground base or the Purifier spacecraft. , now, she is watching the other party closely!
And the new human force called the League of Heroes only sent a transport ship and twenty human cannon fodder Marines!
Just now, after she just glanced at the opponent, she never bothered to pay attention to the matter again. She just ordered some military intelligence officers to keep an eye on the opponent's large fleet in space orbit.
"It's like this: Our team of Templars was blocked in front of the gate of Humanity's Colonial Gathering No. 1. After fighting with twenty Marines from the other side, we lost thirty-four elite warriors in a row!"
"Although they were all teleported back in time, several of them suffered severe physical trauma, and abnormal energy reactions occurred in their bodies. I am afraid that in the future..."
I am afraid that I will definitely be disabled or have some physical inconveniences in the future, and I will no longer be able to serve in the fanatic army...
For the protoss race, whose population is far smaller than that of insects or humans, losing more than thirty tribesmen in one fell swoop is not a small blow!
"What's going on? How could they lose so much?! Those humans, do they have any new weapons? Or did they use some despicable means?"
A small team of Templars was defeated by twenty enemy Marine cannon fodder. This kind of thing is too unbelievable!
Therefore, after hearing that his fanatic troops were blocked and suffered huge losses, Thrandis hurriedly walked towards the position of the protoss intelligence officer, and at the same time looked at the opponent's psychic radar screen.
On the screen, when she clearly saw the twenty humans who looked a little embarrassed but still intact, and then looked at her side opposite, there were only two fanatics left and the broken star spirits scattered on the ground. After losing the armor and severed limbs, Thrandis subconsciously felt that humans must have some kind of weapon specifically designed to target their protoss! Or maybe they used some dirty tactics to defeat them? !
Otherwise, how could those top-notch fanatics among the Templars be defeated by the cannon fodder of twenty human marines? Moreover, looking at the other party's appearance, it seems that no one has been killed yet? Just a few minor injuries?
Humanity must be developing new targeted weapons again!
What exactly will it be? Is it a new EMP pulse grenade specifically targeting plasma shields? Or is it a powerful electromagnetic rifle with high kinetic energy that can instantly break through the protoss shield?
"..."
After a short moment of silence, the protoss intelligence officer immediately opened the replay of the battle between humans and protoss, and at the same time explained awkwardly:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Executive Officer! Human beings did not use any new weapons... They defeated our warriors in fair battles by relying on close combat and those strange psychic powers. Please see..."
As he spoke, the protoss guided Thrandis's gaze with his hand and pointed at the replay video of the first battle.
At the beginning, the opponent was the golden-painted Marine leader fighting against the leader of their protoss, Heradi. The battle between the two sides was short and deadly! With just three moves, the powerful Heradi was caught off guard and was easily cut into pieces by the opponent's big sword waving like a whirlwind...
If this battle was caused by Heradi's careless underestimation of the enemy, then the second battle can more objectively illustrate the power of those humans: In the second battle, when the two stars When the Spirit Templar warriors fought against the other two marines, this time, after receiving lessons and precautions, the Protoss Spirit warriors had fully demonstrated their fighting skills as elite Templar warriors, but they... Still easily defeated by two humans...
Then, in the third competition, the battle between five people and five people was even more terrible!
Five of them, five powerful Templars who cooperated with each other tacitly, those five skilled fanatics, were actually overwhelmed by two human marines who charged forward. In an instant, they were crushed by those two humans... No! In fact, strictly speaking, he should have been killed by a madman-like human female warrior who used a crazy method of trading injuries for lives...
Then, something even more magical happened: Originally, the seriously injured female warrior, with her lungs severely injured by the psychic blade and excessive blood loss, should not have been able to survive for long...
However, when those golden-painted human marines flashed golden light on the opponent's body, that crazy woman stood up again as if nothing was wrong?
This completely overturned the protoss' long-standing understanding of humans...
At that time, the protoss intelligence officer responsible for staring at this place was stunned. He didn't understand what kind of new technology that golden light was? What kind of healing ability can make a severely injured soldier's wounds instantly recover as before?
Even the terrifying Zerg with powerful regenerative abilities and biotechnology probably can't do this, right?
Therefore, with the help of the ignorance of the enemy and the cheating golden energy, the Protoss lost again and again in the next six-person battle, and even the fair melee between twenty people and twenty people. to the opponent...
In the end, when the protoss intelligence officer saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly informed Executive Officer Thrandis, only two fanatics were left in their thirty-six-man protoss force. Looking at the still full human marines on the opposite side and the messy battlefield in the middle.
At the rear, the remaining 20-man fanatic squad led by the high-ranking templar originally planned to march towards another human gathering place. When they learned that this squad was almost completely wiped out, they also He stopped immediately, ready to wait for new orders from Executive Officer Thrandis.
Now, they are also hesitating whether they should march according to the original plan? Or, quickly turn around and return to support the Zealot forward team that was almost completely wiped out?
"He actually defeated our powerful Celestial Templar in a fair duel? This..."
After carefully watching the replayed battle scene, Thrandis opened his eyes in surprise, and the psychic light in his eyes began to flash unsteadily.
She could never imagine that those weak humans, those who could only use technological creations to fight, could actually be almost completely crushed in a fair duel, when the numbers were equal. posture, easily defeated their Templar?
"What on earth are those psychic powers..."
After thinking about it, Thrandis quickly stretched out his fingers and manipulated the replayed battle screen. Then, he froze the screen to a few moments, and began to continuously zoom in on the screen, staring at the human marines. .
Could it be because of the red and golden energy?
What exactly is that light of energy? Is it a new psychic power? Or...is it the latest result obtained by humans in studying psionic energy?
After the ghost agents, have those humans made new breakthroughs in the research and application of psionic energy?
Looking at the scarlet and golden spiritual energy flashing on the human warriors and weapons on the screen, Thrandis quickly discovered the secret of the other party: they, those humans, must rely on this kind of thing to achieve their goals. Defeated their powerful Templar, right?
"Your Excellency, Executive Officer, what should we do now? Do we need to order the high-ranking Templars to change their marching direction and go to the Humanity Colonial Gathering No. 1 for support?"
After seeing that the executive officer was lost in thought, after waiting for a while, the intelligence officer still asked aloud.
Because the team of high-level saints and fanatics far away from this battlefield have sent requests for instructions several times.
Their Templars were very angry now and seemed to want to meet the human marines who had defeated more than thirty Templars from their protoss.
"..."
Thrandis didn't speak. She stood up straight, looked at the humans, and then at the messy battlefield, and quickly made her final decision.
"Pass me an order: Let the two remaining warriors outside the gate of Human Colonial Gathering No. 1, as well as the fanatic troops led by the high-level temple, all withdraw immediately! Now, prepare to guide them to teleport. !”
Because, she, Thrandis, felt that there was no need to continue the battle on the ground now!
Since their thirty-four Templars had all lost to the twenty-man human marines in a fair duel, then no matter how many fanatic troops they sent up, it would probably not be too big. change?
After all, if it comes to numbers, they star spirits cannot defeat humans no matter what...
If the protoss sends more templar warriors, won't the human fleet on the opposite side send more marines?
From Thrandis's point of view, it is a very foolish behavior to continue to increase troops to play fueling tactics with humans before thinking of a good way to deal with the human marines who can use new psychic powers to fight. !
So, for Thrandis, who didn’t know the details of the human force on the opposite side who claimed to be the League of Heroes, and when she was worried that the enemy would send more such powerful marines, she didn’t really want to send them to the enemy. The scale of the conflict between the two sides has expanded here on Haiwen Star!
The main enemies and opponents of their protoss should be the insect swarm that occupied their home planet of Aiur and expelled them from their homeland, and it should never be these humans! At least... it shouldn't be now!
She still has this awareness.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Executive Officer! Your order has been issued..."
After receiving the latest order from the executive officer, the protoss intelligence officer quickly started operating his psychic equipment.
In the shortest possible time, he gave the executive officer's retreat order to the two remaining zealots on the ground and the team of high-ranking templars in another location, and began to guide them to teleport.
"Wait... no! Mr. Executive Officer! The remaining two fanatics, they refused to carry out the order! Oh, no! Kara... they, they are actually planning to forcibly merge?!"
The protoss intelligence officer who was operating the equipment and planning to teleport back all the zealots and high-level temples on the ground suddenly discovered something that horrified him: the two last remaining zealots, they actually No response to transmitted request? Are they still planning to sacrifice themselves and forcefully use secret techniques that can only be used by high-level templars?
"What?! Hurry up! Send the retreat order again, they must be stopped!"
Thrandis, who was about to step aside and stare at the cunning Renault, quickly turned back after hearing the intelligence officer's exclamation and gave another sharp order!
After seeing the two fanatics on the radar screen holding each other's shoulders and once again refusing the request and order to transmit, Thrandis knew what they wanted to do.
She never expected that those two warriors, those two elite fanatics who were likely to advance to high-level Templars, would choose this time to sacrifice and burn their own souls to merge into a powerful one. Archon Power Statue…
"Listen! I am Thrandis! I am ordering you two, stop now! Teleport back immediately!"
After finishing what he said, Thrandis became anxious when he saw that there was no response from the other party.
"You should know: your current energy level is not enough! Before you officially advance to the high-level temple, once you do this forcibly, you will really succeed and defeat those humans, but the archons you merged with It will also collapse soon! This will not be worth the gain! Moreover, humans are not the main opponent of our protoss, and it is not worth it for you to do this! Stop..."
Although thirty-four fanatics were lost in one fell swoop, Thrandis didn't pay too much attention because they didn't really die, they were just teleported back after being severely injured!
However, if the two warriors below do that now, they will be dead!
The cost of burning one's soul is too painful, and Thrandis feels that it is not worth it! You know, the spiritual energy possessed by any star spirit can be regarded as outstanding if placed on the human side!
The Templars among the Protoss, those fanatics, devote their lives to honing their combat skills and psychic abilities.
Among these dedicated people, only the most skilled Templars who master and strictly abide by the Way of Kara can hope to increase their psychic level and successfully advance to become a more powerful being: a High Templar!
The terrifying psychic power possessed by high-level templars can make all enemies of the protoss feel extremely frightened! Each of them is a valuable resource for the protoss, and often just a few of them can destroy an entire insect swarm army!
And it just so happens that the two elite fanatics below are one of the beings who are expected to advance to become a high-level temple!
But now, they are here, fearlessly sacrificing their own souls in a game-like battle with humans, intending to fuse and burn their souls to create a deadly and powerful Archon?
Thinking about this, Thrandis thought there was absolutely no need for them to do this!
The real enemies of their protoss should be the insect swarm that occupies their home planet, not these humans!
"..."
————
Compared to Executive Thrandis who was sighing in space and closing his eyes because he did not want to see the sacrifice of two young and powerful Templars, Galen and Darius on the ground were The ten marines looked at each other in disbelief at the two protoss warriors opposite them, holding hands like good friends.
They had no idea what kind of trick the two protoss spirits in the distance were trying to play by standing shoulder to shoulder in such a situation that was very unfavorable to them.
"Hey! Galen? Tell me, what kind of trouble do those two aliens want to cause when they hook up like this?!"
Since his armored power combat suit was chopped up by the 018 female madman and some shameful things were exposed, Darius now has to cover his crotch with one hand and hold his suit with the other. Ax, then just hunched over, comically staying inside the gate of the colonial gathering place, asked Galen in front.
Now, he urgently needs to find something to help him repair the baffle of the power suit that damaged his crotch. The militia captain just now is said to have sent someone to find equipment that can repair the welded armor.
It is estimated that in a short while, he will be able to get an armor plate for him, and then the exposed parts can be welded on first, so that he will not continue to wander into the battlefield like this.
"How did I know? Look! They...are they releasing lightning? Are they about to use their ultimate move?"
Looking at the two protoss warriors across from each other who were holding each other's back, each one releasing lightning with one hand, Galen was also a little confused.
He was hesitating. Now, should he just say hello and let everyone rush forward to kill the opponent side by side? !
"FOR AUIR FOR AL, FOR KARA!!!"
When Galen was still hesitating, the two protoss warriors roared angrily while releasing lightning.
Then, the lightning on their other two hands that were not linked to each other grew bigger and bigger, and the energy became more and more explosive, causing the two of them to float directly from the ground.
Then, just when Galen was about to let others rush up and chop the opponent alive, something like a singularity of black lightning appeared between the hands of the two protoss warriors clasping their shoulders, and it instantly appeared. He sucked in the two star spirits...
"Ouch! Let me go! What happened to them?! They disappeared? Did they teleport away? Or are they dead?"
After asking the militiamen who hurried back to use maintenance equipment to help him weld a shielding armor plate, Darius walked forward while looking at the two missing Protoss Templars opposite him in surprise. .
He was a little confused, could it be that the other party created such a big battle and looked like they would both die together, just to escape?
"Perhaps... when they saw that they couldn't beat him, they became angry and cut off their own meridians?"
Looking at the unstable singularity or the black hole-like lightning thing that was still flashing in the sky opposite, Galen also said a little uncertainly.
"Self-cutting the meridians? What does this mean? Where did you find such a rare word?"
Darius couldn't understand what Galen meant, so he had to ask while looking at the lightning singularity in the distance with confusion.
"Ah, that's actually what I saw in an ancient oriental martial arts book not long ago."
After looking at the black hole-like singularity that seemed to be slightly expanding, Galen felt a little uneasy.
He felt that the two protoss warriors had forcibly created a black hole-like thing at the expense of themselves, intending to perish together with the likes of him?
So, should they get away from here quickly? But... the area affected by the singularity on the opposite side, and its force field, doesn't seem to be expanding?
"Ouch! My mother! What can I say, why can't I beat you lately! So it turns out that you are the one who kept the private goods? Return the ancient martial arts of the East? No, after this fight is over, when you go back, you will also Quickly take out that book and show it to me!"
In recent sparring sessions, Darius had often been defeated by Galen, who was capable of fighting and fighting hard, so he directly blamed the reason on this matter!
"Wait! No, there's a situation! Everyone, be on alert!"
Just when he wanted to say something, or ask everyone to stay away from the black hole-like lightning singularity, Galen finally discovered something was wrong!
Those two protoss warriors, what they just used were definitely not escaping or dying together!
Because, Galen actually saw that after the lightning singularity sucked in the two protoss warriors, in the short period of time when he and Darius had only spoken a few words, the singularity was slowly expanding. Expansion?
Then, something seemed to be emerging from inside?
"Having a high-energy reaction!? Everyone! Be careful and pay attention to avoidance!!!"
Finally, Galen understood it now, so he quickly roared in the channel!
At this moment, in addition to Galen's roar, the visors of other people's armored power combat suits also sounded violent alarms when high-energy reactions were detected.
It turned out that the two protoss warriors holding each other's backs were not running away at all, nor were they cutting off their own meridians like Lao Shizi, nor were they preparing to die with people like himself! Instead, they combined themselves into something even more terrifying? !
When he saw the big guy emerging from the lightning singularity, Galen knew that he might be out of luck this time...
“Unstoppable!!!”
Finally, the lightning singularity grew bigger and bigger, and when it suddenly expanded from inside, it turned into a blue-white energy giant that was piled up by violent lightning and energy as if it were flying!
Then, this lightning energy giant covered in lightning and bright light energy, wearing an armor that was obviously a star spirit style, floated majestically in mid-air, and after shouting loudly, it waved its hand violently , a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket, like a huge laser, directly struck the ground, burning out a long and terrifying trail of hot magma, and then instantly moved towards the twenty stunned Marines. They swept over quickly...
