The speed of the war on the ground of Haiwen Star is really dizzying, and the reversal of the situation between the two sides is so fast and shocking that the stars in space fell into a brief silence and confusion. In a state of sluggishness...
Originally, when I just saw that the two high-level Templars who were about to come into contact disobeyed the order to retreat, forcibly fused and burned their souls, and successfully transformed into a powerful Protoss Archon, I was paying attention to the situation on the ground. The protoss, in their surprise and shock, could only sigh and mourn for the heroic act of the two Templars sacrificing themselves. After all, once the soul is burned, it can never return to Kara's arms.
However, they still secretly applauded that the fused Archon was able to instantly defeat those invincible human marines.
They felt that those two brave Templars, who sacrificed their lives for the noble honor of the Templars, were worth everything they did!
Otherwise, do those humans really think that their protoss clan is easy to bully?
However, when he saw that the Protoss Archon had defeated his opponents with unrivaled power and was about to eliminate all the enemies, a little girl was suddenly teleported to the colonial gathering place? Is that the supreme head of state who is said to be a heroic nation?
What makes the protoss wonder is: when did they, humans, master the technology of individual biological teleportation? And it's still unprotected teleportation while wearing casual clothes. This is a core technology that only the protoss can master?
Then, what happened next was even more unacceptable to the protoss...
The little human girl who was teleported not only saved the Marines who were about to be wiped out, but also released a powerful and terrifying flame bear, which pressed the head of the powerful Protoss Archon in a few seconds. He was beaten violently on the ground for a long time.
What even shocked the protoss watching the battle in space was that when the Archon activated the energy core to self-destruct, triggering a psionic singularity and preparing to perish together, it could still easily suppress and extinguish it. That unstable singularity that claims to be able to annihilate all things?
The protoss cannot understand, what kind of existence is that bear? Is it some kind of mysterious cosmic creature? Or is it humanity’s new technology? Are they the same as those human marines with strange powers?
If the giant toy bear that can only grow in size and emit terrifying flames all over its body, and the little girl who can use a shield to resist the Archon's lightning energy attacks, can be attributed to the other party's mysterious technology and powerful psionic energy level …
So, the next action of the other party, the little girl reached out and grabbed it, which directly caused all the energy supply of the Purifier spacecraft of their protoss to be cut off. So what happened? !
At that time, what did that little girl do to the Purifier the moment she stretched out her hand? !
If the team's energy-sensitive protoss hadn't detected the powerful energy reaction on the little girl's body at that time, and if the huge fleet in the opponent's space didn't make any attack moves, they almost thought that humans had used some kind of The latest technological weapon...
"Executor Thrandis...what should we do now?"
In an instant, the situation took a turn for the worse again...
After the Archon energy statue fused by the two Templars was easily defeated, and the Purifier spacecraft sent by their protoss to completely purify the infected humans crashed inexplicably, this protoss was already a little confused. Too worried...
Now, whether it is the size of the fleet in space or the comparison of forces on the ground, their protoss is already at an absolute disadvantage!
The Purifier spacecraft, which was originally relied upon and thought to be invulnerable, has now been crashed by the opponent. At this moment, their protoss has no ability to fight against these humans!
unless……
They immediately called for support, calling the main force of the golden fleet from the mainland for support?
However, if they insist on doing that, their protoss is likely to trigger a full-scale conflict with the human world and the increasingly large human camp!
If things really develop to such a bad situation, all the Star Spirits present will probably become the sinners of the Star Spirit clan...
Therefore, at this moment, the communications officer could only wait eagerly for the decision of Executive Officer Thrandis.
"..."
"That's all, give me an order: Let all the protoss troops on Star Haiwen withdraw immediately, and at the same time, teleport all our buildings back!"
The situation on Haiwen Star is now very clear!
Whether it's a hand-to-hand battle between infantry at the bottom, or a battle between starships at the top, those humans have won a complete victory!
And their star spirits now have no trump card that could make a comeback, and there is no need to continue spending time here!
This Haiwen planet is not the traditional sphere of influence of the protoss. It is just an agricultural planet with poor resources. Apart from being habitable and developing agriculture, it has no use at all!
But as far as the current technological level of humans or protoss is concerned, if you want to develop and obtain food, there are really too many options. Whether it is building an agricultural ecological park or synthesizing organic matter, it is better to develop agriculture on this remote planet. There are too many benefits, so it is not necessary to find a suitable agricultural planet.
Besides, no businessman would spend expensive transportation costs and send large starships to a remote agricultural planet to transport agricultural products. This is an extremely stupid behavior!
It is precisely because of this that the Haiwen Star can stay well outside the boundaries of the Star Spirit's sphere of influence, and for such a long period of time, no force has wanted to take a second look at it.
If there hadn't been such a group of humans on this planet, if they hadn't happened to be infected with the zerg virus, and Thrandis was a little worried that the worms would use this planet as a springboard to attack their protoss territory, I'm afraid she wouldn't choose to come here at this time to meddle in other people's business, right?
"As for the humans on this planet who are infected by the Zerg virus..."
Thrandis pondered for a moment and thought about it seriously. She thought, should we let those who clean up this mess first?
"Just let them fend for themselves for the time being..."
Didn't they keep saying before that they had a way to develop an antidote to this worm virus infection?
Then she, Thrandis, would like to take a closer look at how humans can cure this terrible mutant virus?
Anyway, she, Thrandis, doesn't really believe that humans' superficial biotechnology can be superior to their protoss. Even the protoss can't solve the problem, but humans can solve it?
If humans fail, she will lead her fleet to come here again by then.
Presumably, by that time, the Haiwen star, which has been completely destroyed by the virus, will have no one to stop her, right? Then, she directly used the planet cannon of the Golden Fleet to bombard the planet from space, allowing the flames to completely purify the place and destroy all infected creatures on the Haven planet!
"Yes! Your Excellency, Executive Officer!"
After Thrandis gave the order, protoss officers in many positions on the mothership began to get busy.
"The order has been successfully issued! Our troops are retreating in an orderly manner, and various buildings have begun to teleport back. Do you have any other instructions?"
After hearing the order from Executive Officer Thrandis, the Protoss Communications Officer felt relieved and quickly completed his instructions.
When he found that the executive behind him did not turn around and leave, he asked again.
"Put me through to human Jim Raynor..."
Now that he has decided to retreat, Thrandis still hopes to have a good chat with Jim Raynor, the human ranger force.
After all, the other party has a wide circle of friends and has many contacts with the top leaders of the Protoss. There will probably be more opportunities for contact and cooperation in the future. There is absolutely no need to mess up the relationship because of the Zerg virus and the matters here on Haiwen Star. Too stiff.
The principle of leaving a thin line in life so that we can meet each other easily in the future is not something only humans know!
Over the years, after the fall of their home planet, their protoss began to gradually focus on diplomatic relations with other races. They were not as stubborn and closed-minded as they were on their home star of Aiur.
Of course, she only planned to contact Renault for a while. As for the heroic alliance that had just slapped their protoss in the face and destroyed a Purifier spaceship, she was in no mood to talk to him. !
————
"Sir! I am happy to inform you that the Protoss troops are now retreating in an orderly manner, and we have won another victory!"
When Renault, who was in a group of Viking fighter formations, was shocked by the little girl's magical ability and was wondering secretly, a communication signal from the captain of the Hyperion suddenly came through his communication interface.
That was when Matt discovered that all the Protoss bases and troops had begun to retreat in an orderly manner. Matt immediately notified their Chief Raynor, reminding the other party that there was no need to attack the remaining Protoss bases and destroy those Energy supply hub.
"I just saw it, do you have anything else to do? Matt?"
Having cooperated and partnered for many years, Renault could tell at a glance from Matt's expression in the communication screen that the other party seemed to have something else to report.
Therefore, after ordering his Viking fighter formation to closely monitor the retreat of the protoss, he signaled to Matt to finish the next thing quickly.
"It's like this. Senior executive officer Thrandis of the Protoss plans to have a call with you. Do you want me to pick it up for you now?"
Matt first turned to look at the female leader of the Star Spirits in another communication interface next to him with a smile, and then asked Renault seriously.
The detachment of the Protoss Golden Fleet, which had just been arrogant, was now forced by humans to prepare to evacuate Haiwen Star in despair. Matt still felt very happy in his heart.
Opportunities like this to slap the protoss in the face are rare, let alone one where you can participate!
"Oh? Executive Thrandis? Okay, you can take it."
After being stunned for a moment, Renault, who could guess what the protoss would probably say, took out a cigarette, waved his hand nonchalantly and said to Matt in the communication.
"Jim Raynor, it's obvious that you humans won this time..."
"But, I think you should also know the horror of the Zerg virus? So, I hope that your trust in them can be effectively proven! Otherwise, once the virus spreads on this planet, our protoss will Will still come back!”
After a pause and seeing that the other party still had that indifferent expression and was still smoking what humans call cigarettes rudely, Thrandis suppressed his anger and continued:
"When the time comes, you won't have any excuses to stop us anymore, right?!"
Thrandis knew very well that the time required from infection to mutation outbreak of the zerg virus was actually not too long.
If these stupid humans cannot completely cure this virus, she may only need to wait patiently for two or three months before she can return here again, and at the same time use the planetary cannon of their golden fleet to completely destroy this planet that makes them Planet of spiritual disgrace!
"Thank you very much for your advice, Thrandis!"
Renault took a deep breath, with that indifferent and relaxed expression still on his face. When he saw that the star spirit opposite was a little impatient, he exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a chuckle:
"I think I can trust our Dr. Hansen!"
"I believe that she will be able to find a way to cure the virus! Of course, if she really fails, wouldn't you just be able to come here again and vent your anger for the failure of this operation? You see, this can What a great idea!”
Staring at the opponent's eyes that glowed with blue and white psionic energy, Renault continued to tease in a tepid tone.
This mother star spirit doesn't give him any face, and he, Renault, doesn't think highly of him either.
If it hadn't been for the intervention of the new human forces this time, he felt that he himself would have been able to easily destroy the protoss hubs and shoot down the Purifier with his fleet of Viking fighter jets with amphibious capabilities. From the spaceship?
"snort!!"
Seeing this attitude of the other party, Thrandis had long been furious, so Thrandis finally reached out and shut down the communication with a snap, and then ordered her fleet to start jumping, preparing to leave the orbit of the Haven star.
At this time, apart from the still complete wreckage of the Purifier, which crashed and broke the hull among the high mountains of Haiwen Star, and the crew inside was teleported empty, on this Haiwen Star, there were only There is no longer any living protoss or protoss energy building.
In the blink of an eye, the stars with superb teleportation abilities retreated completely...
"Sir, what are we going to do now?"
After seeing that the protoss had been so angry with his commander that they had cut off communication and all jumped to retreat, Matt asked again.
Things here seem to be over now?
Then, Jim Raynor, the highest officer and leader of their ranger force, who was puffing away and wondering what he was thinking, was about to prepare to issue a new order.
"What else can we do? Chat with the newcomers, and then it's almost time for us to retreat!"
After spending such a long time here, without getting any benefits, his original trip to find the artifact seemed to have been delayed a lot, and it was time to leave.
Moreover, he is still a wanted criminal in the Tyran Empire. That old bastard Mengsk is always trying to catch him, so he can't stay in this place for too long!
It wouldn't be fun if the empire's thugs sniffed the trail and got bitten.
Therefore, he quickly asked Matt to help him contact the flagship of the opponent's fleet. He planned to establish some friendship with the opponent's senior management and become familiar with him. Maybe it would be useful in the future?
"Hi! Hello, newcomers, thank you for everything you have done for Haven Star! I think Dr. Hansen and her people of Aglia will be very grateful to you!"
While continuing to smoke, Renault squinted his eyes and looked at the young female officer who appeared on the video communication screen.
Renault always feels that this new force is weird in every way!
Not only do they have a group of powerful marines who can fight protoss fanatics in close combat, but they also have a leader who is a ridiculously powerful little girl?
Where did these guys come from? !
"There is no need to be grateful. From now on, this planet will be the administrative star of our heroic nation, so this is what we should do! We welcome your refugees to settle on this planet and become our country's Legal citizen!”
"Of course, if they are unwilling, we can also send a fleet to escort them away safely."
Knowing what the other person seemed to be thinking, Doug replied unceremoniously.
At the same time, she once again reiterated one point: This Star Haven has been spotted by them and belongs to their heroic union from now on.
No matter what, they must occupy this livable planet, and it is absolutely impossible for the other party to persuade them to leave with just a few words!
"That's it...Then I don't understand. There are so many good and livable planets near the Koprulu sector. Why do you just focus on this remote agricultural planet?"
This is really what Reno doesn't understand. He doesn't understand what's so good about this planet.
"I used to have a good friend, his name is Mengsk. He is the most charitable person, and he has many livable planets under his command! Maybe you can send the fleet over to borrow one or two colonial stars?"
"You may not know yet, but the energy on this star is so poor that it is beyond your imagination!"
After all, this is the planet that Dr. Hansen's people plan to settle on, so Renault still plans to help the beautiful academic master fight for it.
He hoped that after he told the disadvantages of this useless agricultural planet, these new human forces would be able to make this so-called heroic nation quit and find a new one more suitable for them. Planet? Or, simply go directly to grab a colonial star in the territory of Mengsk’s Tyranid Empire? And then have a fight with the Imperial Army?
Instead of occupying this place arrogantly like now, and bringing more unrest to the Aglia people who have experienced many disasters and long for peace and stable life!
"Sorry, we are not short of energy now! So, we appreciate your kindness."
From the perspective of Doug, who is not yet familiar with the Koprulu Sector, this remote, energy-poor agricultural planet that no one can look down upon is exactly in line with their current situation.
In their huge fleet of Hope, the most indispensable thing now is precisely those energy sources!
You know, when they were on planet JNO.3, they dug up energy day and night for more than two months! Now, whether it is the huge warehouses of the Hope, or the storage rooms of various ships and buildings, they are all filled with high-energy crystals and high-energy gases that they have collected, enough for them to use them for hundreds of thousands of years. of!
Therefore, if the man opposite, Jim Raynor, wanted to use the poor excuse of energy shortage to trick them into leaving here, then he would be totally wrong!
"Oh? From your tone, you don't seem to be lacking in energy at all?!"
Chief Lei, who captured some important information from the other party's words, suddenly became energetic, quickly raised his tone, and asked doubtfully.
Renault didn't know whether others were short of energy, but his Hyperion and his Ranger forces were extremely short of energy and other supplies after years of suppression and siege by the empire.
Of course, funds are also scarce, very scarce!
If they have money, no matter how restrictive Mengsk's empire is or how they besiege them, there will always be people who are desperate for money and life to smuggle all kinds of in-demand materials to them.
"Hmph! So what if we are missing? So what if we are not missing? What on earth do you want to do?!"
Doug immediately turned cold when he heard that the other party seemed to be trying to exploit the energy reserves on his side.
Although, they do have a lot of energy, more than the other party can imagine!
However, she is not stupid, casually announcing her wealth and giving it away generously.
This kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen!
You know, the energy they have now was obtained with the lives of countless soldiers who died on the JNO.3 planet. How could they just give it away casually?
Even if she, Doug, had this authority, she would never do it!
"Ahem... don't be nervous, madam! Trust me, we won't ask for your energy in vain!"
After seeing that the other party's face was not good-looking, Renault was just about to say haha to comfort him, but he accidentally choked on his own cigarette.
He can finally see it now: the other party seems to have a lot of energy? Presumably, you should be able to exchange a little bit with yourself?
"On my Hyperion, there are many new technologies and some interesting weapons manufacturing drawings. I think if you plan to settle in this dangerous star field, you will definitely be interested, right?"
After seeing a look of surprise and excitement on the other person's face, Renault struck while the iron was hot and quickly continued:
"How about it? Later, I will ask my technical officer to make a list and let you pick some?"
"Don't worry, the price must be very fair! Whether it's Reapers, Marauders, Medical Machines, Nightingales, Banshees, Vikings, or even technologies related to our Hyperion, we can exchange them with you! Of course , we don’t want your money, as long as you can provide enough energy..."
Anyway, these are all semi-public things. Except for the Hyperion itself, which is relatively sensitive, other things, even if Renault doesn't sell them now, in the future, their group of forces can also use those on Haven Star. Easily obtained in the colonies or on the black market.
So, now that this group of people has just arrived, of course Renault is going to make a lot of money!
If the other party gives enough extra money and is sincere enough, even if he has all the manufacturing drawings of the Hyperion, doesn't it mean that he can't make a copy for the other party?
Anyway, the Mengsk Empire also has this thing, and it’s not a rare item. It just requires some manufacturing capabilities.
Renault, who is selling his own land, will never feel the slightest guilt when selling these things that originally belong to Mengsk!
"..."
Can such a good thing happen?
Doug didn't speak, just stared at the other person with doubtful eyes.
She still couldn't believe that people like herself had just arrived in this star field, and there was such a deal coming to her doorstep?
Can sensitive military equipment, information and technology be obtained just by using energy? This man, what is his background? Could it be that you are here to fool yourself or want to cheat energy?
"Madam, please believe me! In the entire Koprulu sector, you will never find anyone who is more willing to sell these military technologies at a cheaper price than me!"
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to believe him, Renault could only explain helplessly.
It seems that this group of people is indeed new here, and they don't know the name of Sheriff Lei in the Koprulu Star District. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so suspicious, right?
"He's right! Because, he, Renault, is the most wanted criminal in the entire Tyran Empire! Apart from him, no one else dares to easily use these sensitive technologies to you in a short period of time!"
At this time, Dr. Hansen suddenly intervened in the communication between the two parties. After teasing Renault a little, he also helped the other party.
As long as the female officer opposite knows Renault's identity, she won't have too many doubts, right?
After all, besides a country's most wanted criminals, who else could do such an unlimited thing? In a short period of time, they really could not find a more suitable trading partner than Renault.
At this time, whether it is the Protoss or Mengsk's Tyranid Empire, if you randomly come to your door and say you want to buy military technology, do you think they will ignore you? !
"Okay... you can give us a list later. I believe that our technical officer will evaluate the military technical information! By then, if it is what we need, we will definitely give you a list. Satisfied with the price!”
Now, Hope's intelligence brain Dawn is still continuously receiving and analyzing various news signals and other military or civilian information from the Koprulu sector. From them, they have indeed obtained a lot of useful intelligence, but they have not yet Just tidying up.
Moreover, just now Suguang listed a Renault information column on the side. The text on it reminded her that Suguang had learned from various news and intelligence: the middle-aged man with a beard opposite, and his The Ranger force is indeed the most wanted man in the Terran Empire, the largest human force in the Koprulu Sector!
Even the optical image of the Hyperion battleship in the distance matches the information on the battleship on the wanted list.
Thinking about it this way, Doug felt that it seemed that the other party's idea of selling technology for energy was really sincere?
"Haha! So, would you like to wish us a happy cooperation in advance?"
After seeing that he had inadvertently used some useless gadgets and blueprints of military equipment to get the energy they desperately needed without spending a penny, Renault laughed proudly.
Anyway, all the blueprints for the military equipment in Renault's Hyperion were obtained from the old Tyranid Federation and the new Mengsk Empire, and he didn't feel any pain at all selling them!
Besides, the counterparty to his transaction is also a human force, not a star spirit or insect, so he, Renault, has no psychological burden at all! If he doesn't sell it, others will, so it's better to take advantage of yourself!
As for if these people buy the technology, will it be detrimental to Mengsk's Tyranid Empire? Then it has nothing to do with Renault!
After all, even Renault himself is still working against Mengsk’s dictatorship!
Therefore, if these new forces can really create obstacles for Mengsk and allow him to worry less about himself, then it will be too late for Renault to be happy!
“A pleasure to work with...”
Somehow, Doug always felt that there seemed to be some trace of a treacherous plot on the other person's face?
Therefore, she decided that later, the military technical officers must strictly review the information they sent to prevent the other party from substandard or adulterating and other small tricks!
"Everyone in the League of Heroes, and Jim, thank you for everything you did for the people of Aglia today. It was you who defeated the protoss in time so that my people could survive. Thank you very much!"
After seeing that Renault had negotiated a deal with this heroic officer, Ariel expressed her gratitude with a grateful look on her face.
"Also, Jim, I have successfully developed an antidote. If possible, you can land the Hyperion on the planet Heven. My people and I can help you carry out a free supply of daily necessities. supplies!"
Today, not only did they successfully repulse the invasion of the protoss, they also developed an antidote for the zerg virus in advance. Therefore, while being happy, Ariel's face always exuded a strange temperament, which made Renault I couldn't help but take a second look.
"As for everyone in the League of Heroes, if you need it, we also welcome you to repair or settle on Haiwen Star."
In the opinion of Dr. Ariel Hanson, the planet Haven is so big that it is more than enough for her Aglia people or the fleet of the Heroic Alliance to settle here, right?
As long as the other party's governance policy is not too radical, would it be a good choice for the Aglians to rely on the other party's forces to guard against another attack by interstellar pirates or protoss that may come?
