(There will be another one later and I am revising it.)
In the synchronous orbit of the Protoss Clan's former home planet, the Aiur planet, countless protoss clan's huge fleets and airborne individual transport platforms are densely covering a large area, remaining relatively stationary with the Aiur planet. The ground is hovering here in the geosynchronous orbit.
Countless Templar fanatics and other elite protoss troops are gathering on these platforms, staying silently in orbit, overlooking the great home planet that once gave birth to their protoss race. .
Once upon a time, before the zerg swarms invaded here, when this was the home planet of their protoss and their capital planet, they still remembered that the great El was a planet with pure oceans, dense jungles and prosperous cities. green planet…
But now, although the planet in front of us still has a beautiful blue atmosphere and beautiful white clouds, its ground has been desolated by insects...
Countless protoss warriors only feel that there are uncontrollable flames of revenge burning in their chests, and their psionic energy is boiling. They can't wait to land on this planet immediately, and use their psychic blades to feast on the bugs. Their dirty blood!
"Templars!"
At this time, Artanis, the Archbishop of the Temple of Light and the executive officer of the Protoss clan, was standing on the platform of a golden mothership, speaking to countless brave warriors who were about to set out to conquer El. pre-war speech.
"We finally stand at the crossroads of destiny again..."
Looking at the templars with resolute faces and silence, Artanis spoke slowly in his melodious and firm tone.
"Because today, we will restore the glory that belongs to the stars!"
"Today we will rise again and take back our home!!"
Artanis suddenly strengthened his soul fluctuations so that his stronger tone could be transmitted to the neural links of every Templar.
I think back then, the protoss lost their home planet Aiur in humiliation under the boundless sea of insects... and now, it's finally time for them to take it back!
They want this beautiful planet, this great mother star that has given birth to countless generations of stars, to return to the embrace of their stars!
"For Al! For Al!!!"
After Artanis' pre-war mobilization speech ended, the neat slogans of countless Templars fed back into his nerve cord, making him feel the high morale and unswerving will of the soldiers.
Today, all their main forces went out to fight and defeated the Zerg in one fell swoop to take back Aiur. It was something that was imminent and had to be done!
No one or anything can stop the sacred cause they are about to carry out today!
"May the light of Kara guide us..."
Looking at the dazzling starlight refracted from the blue atmosphere at the edge of Planet El in the distance, Artanis sighed slightly in his heart. In fact, even he himself didn't know what the ending of today would be like. .
Originally, in the battle plan planned by their senior leaders of the protoss, this operation should not start until they were more fully prepared for a while!
However, plans sometimes never keep up with changes!
In the past few days, the drastic changes that have taken place in the human world, and the heroic Federation that has instantly completed the unification of mankind have made Artanis feel for the first time a deep sense of helplessness and frustration...
To this day, Archbishop Artanis still can't figure out why the human beings who were still divided and fighting each other earlier, and were even fighting non-stop civil wars, completed their unification in such a strange way. It must be a conspiracy that has been brewing for a long time, right?
Otherwise, their star spirits would never receive any news at all! Moreover, what makes Artanis most uneasy is that what on earth do they want to do after mankind has completed its unification with such lightning speed?
Those humans, that newly emerged human country, that Federation of Heroes that had only one star Haven earlier when Thrandis submitted the report to him, what on earth do they want to do?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Artanis became...
He seemed to be reminded of the UED expedition many years ago, that powerful existence that attempted to enslave the insect swarm, unify mankind, and eliminate all protoss...
What is the relationship between this Federation of Heroes and the supposedly extremely powerful UED? Are they just the vanguard force of UED under the guise of a federal state? !
well……
Compared with the humans who are about to be unified or the Zerg who are still powerful, their protoss clan is still stubborn. Not only did they lose their homeland, they were also divided into the Kalai Protoss, the Nerazim Protoss and the Tal'darim Protoss. These three major factions not only did not belong to each other before, but they even had conflicts?
In this case, let alone unification, it would be difficult to unite against humans or Zerg, right? Just the issue of faith can make the protoss clan start a fight on their own...
Therefore, when the young Archbishop Artanis was deeply frustrated and anxious about the severe situation in the Koprulu sector, he had no choice but to launch today's revenge battle in advance!
He wanted to take advantage of the time when the Zerg tribe was at its lowest point, and when the main force of the Zerg tribe gathered in Char, he wanted to seize the opportunity to recapture the mother planet that once belonged to all the protoss - Al!
Then, only after retaking El, Artanis, the Archbishop of the Temple of Light, would have the qualifications and prestige to discuss with the other two major protoss forces about the reunification of the protoss, and would he be able to unite between humans and the protoss. Under the oppression of the two major forces of the Zerg, here in the Koprulu Star Region, we seek a living space for the protoss to continue to gain a foothold and thrive!
"The fleet is ready, just waiting for your order, Archbishop!"
Just as Artanis was looking at the dazzling light of the stars, praying to Kara and thinking about various things, his deputy, senior executive Thrandis, strode to his side and said firmly and urged.
She can't wait...
For today's battle of revenge, the Kalai Stars have been preparing for a long time!
Although the current time is a little ahead of schedule, Thrandis doesn't think there is anything wrong with this.
Because the number of swarms of insects still stranded on Planet Aiu is already very small! Even if they are not fully prepared, they are still confident that they can win it today and win this mother planet that once belonged to their homeland!
"All right……"
When Artanis nodded and concentrated, ready to formally issue the order for the entire army to attack, suddenly, from behind their mothership platform, there was a voice and a strange black mist transmitted over?
"You must stop the expedition immediately..."
Then, an old and rich voice came out from the black mist behind Artanis and Thrandis.
"Zelatu?!"
Artanis was also slightly surprised when he saw Zeratul, the patriarch of the Dark Templar, appearing in the black room.
He didn't quite understand. At this time, what did this elder Zeratul want to do when he came here? Moreover, if he heard what he just said correctly, it seems that he wants to stop their military operation to retake Ayr this time? !
"Templar! Arrest this traitor immediately!"
Although Artanis was confused, Thrandis, the more radical high-level executive beside him, didn't think so!
When she saw that the traitor Zeratul appeared in the black shadow, she didn't even think about it. She immediately asked two rows of elite fanatics on the platform to surround the dark saint who had just appeared. The dean of the church.
At the same time, Thrandis also immediately activated the two blue and white psychic blades in her arm guards, preparing to personally go forward to arrest or kill this existence that she had long felt extremely hatred for. !
For this Zeratul, the leader of the Dark Templar who subverted the tradition of the protoss, to this day, Thrandis still can't let go!
Thinking back then, if the evil thief in front of them, this traitor with dark beliefs, had not made them split up, how could their home planet Aiur be taken advantage of by the swarm and captured? If it weren't for him, how could the Kalai Stars have been homeless for so many years?
"Wait!"
When Thrandis bent slightly and was about to swoop forward, joining forces with the surrounding Templars to take down this dark traitor in one fell swoop, Archbishop Artanis behind them suddenly spoke out and He stepped forward and stopped their actions.
"Let him finish his words first..."
Regarding this Zeratul, Artanis's senses are actually very complex.
To be honest, he actually admired this elder who led the Nerazim protoss to find their own path. After experiencing so many things and staying in the position of Archbishop for several years, Now Artanis's vision and opinions on things have also changed a lot.
From the current perspective of Artanis, whether it is the path of the Dark Temple or the faith of the Light Temple, it is really not easy to make a conclusion now about whether it is right or wrong...
In fact, the fall of the mother planet Aiur cannot be entirely blamed on the other party. Thinking back then, if the Kalai (Aiur) protoss were not arrogant and biased, and they insisted on attacking the other party, what would have happened It must be something else...
"Artanis...the final battle is coming, Amon the Dark, who wants to destroy the entire universe..."
Zeratul tried his best to speak in a rich and rich tone. He must win the trust of Artanis and make the protoss stop their meaningless actions today. The Zerg are no longer the enemies of humans or protoss!
Because, the one who controls the insect swarm now is a great being! Although, her past has been somewhat unpleasant...
"We cannot believe this heresy!!"
Before the other party could finish speaking, the stubborn high-level executive Thrandis immediately blew the pillow next to Artanis loudly. Anyway, she would never choose to believe anything this Zeratul said!
"Artanis, you must have seen the rise of humans and Zerg... Going to Aiur will only make us ignore the real threat, which is meaningless!"
There are some words that Zeratul cannot say too clearly now, otherwise, it will be easily discovered by Emon, who is peering into the universe through Kara in the void.
Today, Zeratul came here with only two tasks: one is to persuade Artanis to stop today's operation and let the Protoss clan join the expedition!
And the other one is to use Artanis to invade the link network of Kalai Protoss - Kara, so that the Protoss clan can completely get rid of the possibility of being controlled by Eamon!
Although doing this would make almost all Kalai protoss or other protoss linked to Kara be indirectly affected by the little girl... However, Zeratul felt that doing this would be better than being controlled and manipulated by Eamon. It would be far too powerful to destroy the entire universe...
Or, he can actually comfort himself and regard this matter as an opportunity for the Krupp sector to usher in a new era and long-lasting peace? Besides, time is very tight now, and he really has no better way.
"No! Artanis, don't forget, it's because of this traitor! It was them that Al fell!"
How could the mother star spirit Serandis choose to believe Zeratul based on the other party's nonsensical words? Now, she just wants to catch this traitor as soon as possible, and then hand him over to the Light Temple to judge him!
"This guilt... makes me unable to let go..."
After hearing Thrandis's words, Zeratul slowly lowered his head.
He thought of those innocent Protoss people who had sacrificed their lives when Aiur fell...
However, this made him more determined about what he wanted to do next: the Protoss clan must join the expedition launched in one month! And, taking this as an opportunity, the protoss will occupy an important position in the federal parliament that will include the entire Koprulu sector in the future!
"But, Artanis! I know how to fight the coming darkness and save the current decadent fate of the protoss. Please believe me!"
Zeratul emphasized his tone and looked expectantly at Artanis, the voice of the Kale Protoss who could make decisions, the Archbishop of the Temple of Light.
"We have been through a lot together, Zeratul..."
"However, too many tribesmen have already sacrificed their lives for the arrival of this moment...So, Executive Officer, prepare..."
Although he was somewhat willing to believe Zeratul in his heart, Artanis still rejected the other party's suggestion to stop today's action.
The Kalai Stars have sacrificed too much in order to return to El...
Today, no one can stop them from setting foot on the land of Al again, no one can! Even Artanis himself is the same!
"Wait a minute! Artanis!"
At the moment when the other party was about to give the order, Zeratul spoke up again to stop the other party.
His action caused the high-ranking executive Thrandis to roar angrily, and once again activated the psychic blades on his arms, as if he would pounce on the traitor and give the traitor a severe blow at the next moment?
"Please take a look at my memory crystal... You should know what this is... Believe me, after seeing it, you will know what to do..."
"This won't take too long... Those of you who are connected to Kara will only need a few seconds to finish watching it..."
While reaching out to signal Thrandis to calm down, Zeratul quickly took out a memory crystal that was glowing with a strange red light. Although it was different from ordinary Ihan crystals, there was no doubt that it was , it is indeed Yihan crystal without a doubt!
"this……"
After looking at Zeratul with eyes glowing with blue psychic light, and then at the Ehan crystal handed over by the other party, Artanis thought about it, finally stopped the order, and stretched out his hand first. took it.
Then, when he immersed his spirit and will to observe it, the crystal suddenly shattered, and at the same time, a strange red light flashed across the nerve cords of all the Kalai stars...
"Zelatu! You..."
Artanis looked at Zeratul who was acting innocent with a slightly disappointed and understanding look. He never expected that he and the entire Kalai protoss clan who were connected to Kara would be killed by each other like this. Tricked...
"Alas... Artanis, I feel so guilty for everything I have done..."
"However, I believe that the final facts will prove that what I did today must be correct..."
Looking at Artanis who originally believed in him but became disappointed, and then looking at Thrandis next to him who looked angry but had to put away his weapon, Zeratul could only feel deeply depressed again. own head.
He, Zeratul, today, in a sense, can be said to have betrayed their protoss clan once again...
"..."
At this time, the templar warriors of Kalai Star Spirit on the countless teleportation combat platforms also began to commotion.
The special memory crystal just created by Xel'Naga Kerrigan and Chief Anne invaded their Kara the moment Artanis took over the observation!
Subsequently, all their protoss learned most of the things they could know through Kara, who was controlled by Xel'Naga Kerrigan and an unscrupulous little girl, almost at the same time.
"Executor, please pass the order..."
"Now, let's start landing in Ayr and build our new home!"
After Artanis took another deep look at Zeratul, he gave instructions to the executive officers of each army with a dark face.
Although Zeratul was ultimately unable to stop himself from issuing a plan to land on Aiur, Artanis always felt that the nature of the matter had changed?
Because now that they have landed on Aiur, the former home planet of the protoss, there is no need to fight anymore...
Because, those bugs are now beginning to retreat and return to space in an orderly manner under the command of a certain existence. In the end, they will leave cleanly and return the entire Al to them intact...
What was originally a well-planned battle of revenge was turned into a peaceful handover by Zeratul? !
"Zeratul...I hope you won't regret what you did today..."
"Otherwise, one day in the future, the Star Spirit clan will definitely be brought into a state of eternal disaster by your actions just now!"
After taking another look at the elder of the Dark Temple, Artanis could only sigh with relief, turned around and walked into the Protoss Mothership.
He doesn't know how to comment on Zeratul's behavior just now! However, Artanis himself also vaguely felt that this seemed to be a good idea?
At least, they protoss will be able to get back everything they have lost without any blood! Will there be long-term peace in the Koprulu sector for a long time?
Maybe, this is really a good choice?
However, he was still a little disgusted by Zeratul's previous behavior! If Zeratul could discuss such an important matter with him carefully, Artanis would probably agree, right? But why did he use this coercive method? And they joined forces with outsiders to trick their Kalai star spirits?
"snort!!!"
Thrandis, who followed Artanis toward the battleship, also gave Zeratul a fierce look when he passed by.
"Sorry, Artanis... I hope... I'm right..."
Looking at Aiur, the protoss army began to land on the planet in an orderly manner and began to rebuild their homes. On the other side, the Zerg stranded on Aiur also began to evacuate in an orderly manner on their biological battleships. On this platform, , and soon Zeratul was the only one left.
Then, he stared blankly at the light shining from the stars past Al, and lowered his head again and sighed deeply.
