Now, on this livable green star with forests and oceans, when the war between the humans of the Hope, Raynor's rangers, and the Aglia refugees and the protoss has just ended, the female student Dr. Hansen has successfully developed a special antidote for the Meinhof Zerg virus, which slapped the protoss in the face!
Fortunately, the protoss had already jumped away. Otherwise, when they knew that the Zerg virus that even the protoss technology could not solve was easily solved by a young human female academic, they would not know. What would their star spirit experts, who often have lifespans of hundreds of years, think?
At this time, Ariel not only successfully used the special medicine she developed to eliminate the infection from the zerg virus in her body, she also sent relevant information about manufacturing the antidote to those colonies, allowing the people in her colony to immediately start synthesizing it on a large scale. Antidote and prepare to help yourself.
Therefore, after eliminating the threat of possible infection, Renault's Hyperion, a huge behemoth-class battlecruiser, was able to safely land on the surface of the planet Haven and stopped in a forest. On the periphery, prepare for the supply of basic food and other living supplies.
At this time, in the Hyperion's No. 36 safety valve, Jim Raynor and Ariel Hanson were saying their final farewells.
Because, after helping Renault upgrade the medical equipment of their battleship, Ariel Hansen planned to leave Renault's Hyperion, leave their ranger forces, and return to her people.
She will lead her people to rebuild their home on this remote and finally settled planet of Haiwen.
Just like the planet Aglia that was destroyed by the swarm of insects, they plan to build it into a livable home planet focused on agriculture.
"It seems that it's time for us to say goodbye, doctor! I know that you still have many important things to deal with."
Seeing Ariel in front of him, who was still wearing a white coat, wearing glasses, and looking elegant, Renault felt a little bit reluctant.
But at the same time, he also knew that since the other party was the leader of the Aglia refugees on the Haven Star, he could not just sit on his rebel battleship and become a small medical expert like before. of.
During this time together, this female top-level medical doctor fully demonstrated her personal abilities and played a major role in improving the medical facilities and medical plans on their Hyperion!
Not only did she keep her promise, she helped them upgrade their outdated medical facilities, helped develop many weird things, and also successfully saved the lives of many wounded soldiers!
Actually, let's be honest, for this beautiful school girl who needs good looks, good knowledge, good temperament, and most importantly, no wages, hard work and no complaints, his heart, Renault, has 10,000 unfavorable feelings. This is how the other party left the Hyperion!
He estimated that he would never find another employee as good as Ariel Hansen in the future...
"Thank you, Jim... Speaking of which, you have saved our people in Aglia twice. We really don't know how to repay you..."
Standing in the empty cabin of the safety valve, Ariel Hansen was hesitant to speak. With a complicated look, she looked at Renault, who had come down to see her off.
After a long period of contact with this guerrilla leader who resisted the tyranny of Mengsk's Tyran Empire, she discovered that he was not a villain, traitor, interstellar thief, etc., as the UNN TV station said. , instead, it was a middle-aged man with peculiar charm who had a fatal attraction for her!
At the moment when they were about to part, looking at the smiling face of the other party made her heart, which was originally focused on learning, be restless and unable to calm down for a long time...
"Haha! No need to thank you! Didn't your colony also provide us with a lot of supplies? That's good!"
Renault smiled and looked at the floating convoys transporting supplies outside the valve cabin window.
There, Ariel Hansen's people were replenishing his Hyperion with a large amount of necessary supplies such as fresh water, grain, vegetables, meat, or ordinary minerals.
These things are quite urgently needed for them, who have been wanted by the empire for many years.
"And, strictly speaking, we have only saved you once and a half! Most of the credit for today's battle belongs to the heroic alliance."
Renault waved his hand nonchalantly, signaling Ariel not to take these things too seriously.
In fact, what he said himself was not wrong. This time, they only raided and destroyed one of the Protoss's energy supply hubs, which is the Protoss's main control base. Before the Viking fighter groups he led had time to When they went to destroy the remaining two hubs and the Purifier spacecraft, the new humans had already finished everything.
"Also, up there, the new group of people will probably stay here and never leave. You have to take care of yourselves! If possible, try not to conflict with them! Or... you might as well go early Move off this planet?”
Pointing to the sky, Renault lowered his voice and said pointedly.
Reno felt uncomfortable when he thought of the scene when the magical little girl released the giant flame bear to kill the Protoss Archon, and then used incredible means to capture a huge Protoss mothership.
Now, he just wants to leave Haiwen Star as soon as possible after the arms technology transaction between the two parties is completed, and stay far away from the heroic alliance!
Renault even thought more than once: If the other party is ruthless enough, can he directly take advantage of the enemy, or can he directly swallow himself and his Hyperion?
After all, the Hyperion, which has now landed on the surface of the planet, is no match for the opponent's large fleet that is still in space!
"We will take care of ourselves, you should take care of yourself first! I just hope that you rangers can stay out of the matter. This time, the protoss will definitely be very unhappy..."
Ariel shook her head, she had no intention of leaving this Haven star.
Moreover, she could tell from the transaction between the other party and the Hyperion: the new group of people should not be extremely evil people, let alone people who break their promises.
Otherwise, they don't need to trade with Jim and just grab what they can. Why would they need to pay so much high-energy crystals and high-energy gas in exchange for military technologies that are not too valuable?
"It's okay, don't worry! I still have some friendship with the higher-ups of the Star Spirits... I have helped them several times before... maybe they will let me go this time?"
Renault smiled noncommittally, took out a pack of cigarettes, opened the lid of the carton, took one in his mouth, and said in a lazy tone.
Regarding this matter, Renault is quite confident. He believes that the protoss will not embarrass him for such a trivial matter.
Besides, if the protoss spirits are really angry and want to make trouble for someone, they must first make trouble for the heroic couple, right?
Anyway, if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up first, so Renault doesn't need to worry too much about this.
Moreover, after the material supplies and the transport spacecraft transporting energy from the Heroic Alliance are unloaded and handed over, their Hyperion will take off and jump away from this barren planet as soon as possible! By then, even if the protoss wants to cause trouble for him, Renault, there probably won't be anywhere to look for it, right?
Doesn't he believe that the protoss would relentlessly hunt down his Hyperion for such a trivial matter? Renault, who has been in contact with the protoss, knows very well that there are still a lot of problems with the protoss that have not been resolved!
Whether it's their home planet Aiur occupied by the swarm, or the factions within the protoss, etc., it's enough for the protoss themselves to suffer!
"You know? Jim, you can actually stay, settle down, and start a new life..."
When the hatch of the No. 36 air valve was finally opened, Ariel Hansen took two steps out. When she was about to reach the hatch, she stopped again, turned around, and said slightly awkwardly He took off his short-sighted glasses on the bridge of his nose and said a little coyly.
This hint is already obvious!
She, Ariel, has now said this. She believes that with Jim Renault's emotional intelligence, he should understand what she means. Therefore, after finishing speaking, she looked at Renault with bright eyes, looking forward to it. for his next reply.
"People like me have no choice! My dear, you should understand that things must start and end..."
Renault pretended not to understand what the other party said and started to laugh broadly.
At that moment, he was actually a little excited.
However, he thought of his Sarah... he thought of Mengsk... he thought of his subordinates who had been following him, trusting him, and working together to pursue that lofty goal...
Therefore, Renault was right. He really had no choice. He could only go all the way to the dark side!
Till death do us part...
"Besides, what does it mean if I stay?"
"Stop joking! Do I want to join you and fight for the ownership of this broken planet with that heroic alliance? Or, will it be directly annexed by them? I have some bad habits, and I can't stand the control of some strangers! "
After seeing the complex look of understanding and pain in the other person's eyes, Renault could only continue to pretend not to understand, lit the cigarette in his mouth, and took a deep breath.
"I used to think that you were a vicious interstellar gangster, but recently I discovered that you are actually a good person. I am very happy to get to know you, Jim Raynor..."
Disappointed, Ariel could only pretend to be slightly embarrassed and continue wiping her glasses.
Then, after thinking for a while, she finally made up her mind and walked directly towards Renault.
After grabbing the cigarette that was still burning from the other person's mouth, she suddenly leaned forward and took a gentle peck. Then she quickly turned around, put on her glasses, and walked out of the hatch of valve 36. He walked out towards the land of Haiwen Star outside.
"Jim, goodbye and good luck..."
After saying her last farewell words, Ariel left without looking back.
The tentative confession she just made was just her last attempt before parting. After all, the universe is so big, and after parting today, she and him will probably never have the chance to meet again.
In fact, she knew early on that the good man behind her had been filled with a certain figure in his heart, and he could no longer hold her position as Ariel...
"Haha...it's not as good as you said...I wish you good luck..."
After being given a good guy card and being forcibly kissed once more, Renault, who looked a little embarrassed, could only scratch his head, bent down to pick up the cigarette that had not been extinguished on the metal deck, and continued to put it in his mouth to smoke. stand up.
In fact, he himself thinks that this girl with a doctorate is quite good in all aspects!
It's a pity that no matter how good she is, she is really not my type...
Everything is fine now. Things here can finally be settled. He will continue to search for that Raushizi artifact with his men and his group of friends, and then see if there is a chance to find Kerrigan. Traces of?
He had heard about it. Sarah seemed to be leading the swarm to fight... She was also looking for something?
"Hello? Matt, how's it going? I just saw their transport spaceship fly away. How much energy did the Hero League and the others send this time?"
Renault was smoking and thinking about things in Valve No. 36. After throwing away several cigarette butts, he saw the unloading bay door in the distance outside the window. Those transport ships of the heroic alliance took off and Away from his Hyperion.
Therefore, Renault quickly stopped the chaotic thoughts in his mind and immediately contacted Captain Matt who was arranging affairs on the bridge.
"Sir! I think you will be very happy! This time, we may have been taken advantage of! You can't guess how much energy they sent us?!"
Looking at the stored energy reserves recorded in his terminal, Captain Matt was so happy that his mouth almost burst into tears.
This time, their Ranger forces have really become wealthy, at least in terms of energy!
Chief Reno really did a great job with this transaction!
Just using the goods that can be bought everywhere and some of the Hyperion's advanced technologies were enough to buy enough energy for them to squander for several years. If all this was converted into money, how much would it cost?
"Oh...that's good..."
Renault suddenly felt that when he listed the bills before, had he offered a little too little?
Is that heroic alliance really without any counter-offer? !
How rich are they? Could it be that the other party is really a group of rich people who just escaped from a remote star area in the countryside?
————
On the ground of Haven Star, outside of the Aglian colony No. 1, there are hundreds of Hope Marines, a dozen heavy siege tanks, a large number of SCV engineering vehicles, and a large number of armored transport ships. It landed from the universe and turned this place into a landing site.
In addition to a small number of staff who are carefully collecting protoss armor fragments for research on the battlefield outside the gate, starting with several heavy siege tanks, countless marines and SCV engineering vehicles, carrying A large group of engineering vehicles turned around and headed towards the Purifier, the protoss mothership that crashed in the distance.
Outside the gate of Colonial Gathering No. 1, in addition to setting up a temporary base, there are only a few medical personnel left, who are removing the Marines who were injured under the attack of the Protoss Archon from the colony. They were lifted out, and using professional equipment, they were immediately taken out of the armor to prepare for treatment and rescue.
What surprised the members of the medical team sent down from the Hope was that of the twelve wounded people in these two teams, except for four who were able to stand up after being pulled out with minor injuries, the remaining eight, Not even dead? Is it just a corona or a bruise?
They had checked the damage to the armored power combat suit. When the armor equipment could be burned by a powerful lightning attack, how could the crew inside still survive? Is this still a human being?
This Demacia team and the Noxus team, what kind of changes did their magical power have on their bodies?
Little Annie was sitting boredly on the tracks of a heavy siege tank, watching her men clean up the battlefield. When she saw two medical staff passing by, pushing Darius, who was lying unconscious on a suspended stretcher with blood on his face. When he was in front of her, she frowned and kicked him out without hesitation.
The little foot kicked out suddenly, startling the medical staff pushing the suspended stretcher. After looking at the crooked stretcher and Captain Darius lying on the ground, she turned pale. , turned around and glared at the little girl who was still sitting on the tracks of the tank.
She didn't know why this little girl, the new head of state, would do such an outrageous act to a seriously injured person? !
"Stop pretending to be dead! Why don't you get up and start working?!"
Little Annie ignored the medic who glared at her, and just glanced disdainfully at Darius, who continued to lie on the ground pretending to be dead. Whether a person was really comatose or fake, could he still be deceived?
Darius was a big black man. He had already woken up when the engineers used equipment to get him out of the damaged armored suit! I don't know what he was thinking just now, but he continued to pretend to be dead and let the nurses serve him.
So, when the nurse pushed him past her, little Annie, who really couldn't stand it, kicked him over.
He was just shocked, his face was scratched, he bled some, and he was unconscious for a while.
It looked quite miserable, but Anne knew very well that with the physique of the opponent's mid-level warrior, this minor injury would not be a problem at all!
"Ahaha...what the heck, we just want to be lazy and take a nap, why would you kick us here like this?"
Under the stunned expression of the nurse, Darius climbed up from the ground without any hesitation, and patted the soil and grass leaves on his body with a grin.
Looking at him jumping around, except for the scary look with the blood on his face, is there really no big problem?
"Hmph! Please give way!"
Upon seeing this, the female nurse from the medical team finally realized that she had been tricked. With a cold face, she grabbed the tilted floating stretcher, hit Darius's shoulder directly, and angrily walked toward the medical tent. Bian walked over quickly.
Fortunately, she had just helped him put on his pants, and she had been worried about his injured body due to his heroic battle, but who would have thought that this bastard was actually pretending to be unconscious? !
"Hey! Girl, don't leave in a hurry? You haven't helped me with the wounds on my face yet..."
After smiling apologetically at little Annie, who was dangling her calves on the tank tracks, Darius quickly ran after the female nurse.
"Sir! How did you find out that bastard Darius was pretending to be dead?"
Galen, who had already taken off his armored power combat suit with the help of the equipment, saw that nothing happened to him, and walked towards the tank while eating an energy biscuit.
After seeing Darius' behavior, he also felt a little curious. Just now, he himself went to help him get out of the armor, but why didn't he find out that the other person was pretending to be dead?
"Breathe! There's still a heartbeat! Forget it, you don't even understand..."
As a powerful mage, he is very sensitive to the surrounding environment!
Therefore, how could Darius's clumsy technique of pretending to be dead just now be hidden from Anne's own perception? nonexistent!
"I'm going back first. You can just play here slowly. See you later!"
After saying that, Annie directly cast a teleportation spell, causing herself to disappear instantly in a burst of arcane blue light.
Here now, it was just a big construction site, a mess, and it didn't look like anything interesting, so she decided to go back to the battleship first and take a good rest.
"wait……"
Just as Galen had time to reach out, he could no longer see the small figure on the tank tracks.
He also thought about letting the other party take him for a ride. After all, teleportation is far more upscale and comfortable than taking a transport ship!
Unfortunately, the other party ran too fast. Next, they had to let an armored transport ship carry them back...
"Your Majesty the Head of State! Are you back?"
After seeing the blue light of teleportation magic suddenly light up in the bridge, Doug, who was busy with some things, exclaimed and soon saw the figure of little Annie in it.
Although she had seen this magical and convenient teleportation magic many times, she still felt very surprised.
If those scientific researchers can analyze and utilize it, it will definitely play a significant role in their technology and navigation technology, right?
"Um……"
After little Annie sat down in the captain's seat, she glanced at the list in Doug's hand curiously, and then scratched her head in confusion.
Strange……
It seems that she herself has nothing to do when she returns here, so why does she have to teleport back here...
"Oh, this is a list of technologies traded with those humans. Do you want to take a look at it?"
Seeing that little Annie seemed a little interested in the thing in his hand, Doug quickly handed it over.
Just now, after receiving the sensitive technology about the Marauders, Viking fighters and some Hyperion battleships transmitted by Renault, Doug kept his promise and sent three transport spacecrafts full of high-energy crystals and high-energy gases. , sent to the Hyperion which landed on the surface of Star Haven.
In Doug's opinion, this transaction with the other party is still very useful to the humans of their Hope!
Whether it is the heavy unit Bald Brother Marauder, or the Viking fighter with amphibious operations and deformation capabilities, it can very well supplement and inspire their military strength!
In particular, some of the advanced technologies of the Hyperion, the powerful armor formula, shield technology, and the ability to forcibly jump in battle can all play a huge role in the development of their next-generation main ship!
So, now Doug is still secretly proud: Those idiots even dare to sell such important technology? And the price is so cheap? It’s almost like giving it away for free!
Because of this, Doug did not waste time bargaining with the other party at that time. He directly agreed to the price offered by the other party, and then casually obtained some scraps from the countless energy reserves in his fleet that were inconvenient to store. Went to send them away.
Now, they lack everything here, but they don't lack energy!
"don't want!!"
After seeing such a boring list, Anne turned her head away with a look of disgust.
If she had time to watch these things, then she might as well go back to sleep, or... go play on the Haven Star below?
"By the way! Your Majesty the Head of State, what's going on with Galen and Darius? Their casualties..."
After seeing that little Annie was in low spirits and seemed to be unwilling to talk to him, Doug quickly asked about the casualties of the Marines.
As she was presiding over military affairs on the bridge, she didn't have time to check the reports submitted by the medical team. So, now that she saw little Annie's expression, she thought some of Darius had died!
It would be a shame if that were the case!
After all, it is still not easy to train those twenty elite marines. Now, when their training has just begun to bear fruit, if there are heavy casualties, then they will be considered a big loss!
"Don't worry, none of them died..."
After continuing to glance at Doug, who was worried, Anne replied listlessly.
How could she let the thugs she trained so hard die so easily while she was watching? nonexistent!
Besides, those people have been transformed by being soaked in anger and holy light for a long time. How could they die so easily after just a few electric shocks? She still expected these people to become her lackeys when they became stronger!
"Oh! Is everything okay? That's good!"
After hearing that none of the twenty marines died, Doug relaxed a little.
The twenty of them can be seen from the actual combat with the protoss on the ground. They can now be regarded as the most powerful group among the Hope Marines. They are almost like special forces, and they can be trained as well. It’s not easy, but it will definitely be of great use in the future!
"By the way, when are we going to land on Planet Haven? Staying in the universe all day is really boring!"
After looking around and seeing nothing going on, little Annie asked about this matter.
Although space battleships are fun, she, who has been here for two or three months, just wants to get to the ground and have a good rest in a house with the gravity of the planet for a while, without having to work all day long. Staying in the battleship, even if there is an environment simulated by gravity equipment, but with her sensitive perception, she can always feel that she is floating in the universe with the battleship...
Of course, it must be a beautiful, comfortable, big house with a garden, definitely not the big construction site where she just stayed! That kind of shabby place is not as comfortable as inside a battleship!
"We have just communicated with the colonial humans on the ground about this matter: except for the continent they currently occupy, they have given up all the rest of the planet Haven."
While talking, Doug jumped out of a holographic model of Haven, and then pointed to the continents above and explained to little Annie.
"We have selected several suitable locations for building a city, and we are just waiting for you to make a decision! Then, tomorrow at the latest, we can land the Hope and other buildings!"
"Then, while ground construction begins, our fleet will also build a military port satellite city in synchronous orbit, which will be used as a fort to protect Haiwen Star and as a base for the interstellar fleet."
"besides……"
Doug had already thought of these things when the protoss began to retreat.
Therefore, after hearing Little Annie's inquiry, she immediately stated her plan and gave several feasible plans.
Of course, these are just her current thoughts. As for the specific matters, they still need to be discussed with the staff group and the parliament, and finally let Anne, the head of state, make the final decision and sign.
"It's so troublesome..."
There were so many messy things that made little Annie just want to doze off.
"You can make your own decisions about these ridiculous things. I'm going to go back to bed first. Goodbye~!"
She hated these chores the most. She didn't give Doug any time to react. She just flashed and "pop" and disappeared from the main seat on the bridge of the Führer.
"..."
When Doug was about to tell her city-building plan and pointed at a place on Haven Star, she didn't expect that the Head of State Anne suddenly disappeared and slipped away. This caused the hand she just stretched out to suddenly disappear. He froze in mid-air.
"Uh...ah haha! Well done, little girl!"
When little Annie, as the head of state, slipped away in a blink of an eye, the authority on the bridge automatically returned to Captain Plank.
Therefore, when he saw that the little head of state had disappeared and Adjutant Doug, who had lost sight of the person to report to in the middle of the sentence, he burped loudly, carried a bottle of wine, walked over directly and sat down in the captain's seat. position.
"Plank! As a fleet commander, please pay more attention to your image!"
Doug, who was feeling angry, had no choice but to vent his anger on Captain Plank, who was undisciplined and often drunk.
She had been harboring dissatisfaction with this old bastard who had no military image at all and often drank in the bridge, making the entire bridge cabin smell of alcohol.
"Oh? Do you also want to have a drink? For, uh... Lieutenant Doug?"
After taking two large sips indifferently, Plank looked at the other party and examined the wine bottle stained with his saliva.
Anyway, there are no enemies here now. He can have two drinks without any problem. As long as the head of state doesn't blame him, no one can take care of him, right?
He, Uncle Plank, is now the captain of the great Führer flagship and the commander-in-chief of the First Fleet of the Heroic Federation. He is on the same level as Adjutant Doug. Who dares to control him after being so ambitious? !
"snort!"
Doug felt angry when he saw this rotten drunkard.
Therefore, after seeing that she could do nothing to help the other party, she had no choice but to walk to the other side with a cold face and continue to be busy with a lot of things that little Annie didn't want to take care of and had to push to herself.
