Chapter 728 The Counterattack Begins Now

A cold icy blue planet is deeply embedded in the center of the White Star's wide bridge porthole. Through its thin atmosphere, the majestic nitrogen ice glaciers are crisscrossed with canyons, and every huge impact crater on its surface seems to be... Characters written in hundreds of millions of years of history.

In this direction, the galaxy's star is nothing more than a cold, dark point of light, a dwarf star. Here, the sun that belongs to the earth alone is just one of countless stars in the starry sky, and it is not even the brightest ones.

Compared with the vast and cold deep space, stars and planets are the rarest things, as precious as flowers in the desert.

Against the icy background, a huge imperial combined fleet was like a brightly lit ribbon connecting the horizon with light blue arcs at both ends of the planet. Sixteen hundred majestic battleships extend forward row after row, like dots and lines criss-crossing on a chessboard.

The fleet of the Purifier Protoss is located on the other side of the planet. There are millions of huge drone swarms scattered around its mothership Thebros and the fleet, like a thin piece of stardust shining with bright orange light.

Augustus heard that the quarrel between the most famous generals in the empire was not over yet. But at this moment, his heart was as peaceful as ever.

Whether it's victory or defeat, it won't take long for the results to come out.

The success or failure of a war simply depends on whether you can completely defeat your enemy so that they will never get back up.

"I've said it many times."

Horace Warfield is wearing the uniform of an Imperial Navy admiral, with no medals or ribbons visible on it except the Imperial fleet logo.

When Augustus first joined the army, Warfield didn't have that much gray hair on his head, but he was still far from a frail old man. The sharp muscles in his uniform still contained infinite power, like It is a figure cast out of bronze.

"It is almost certain that when the attack begins, Amon will definitely recall the golden fleet and the insect swarm for defense. Then the Xel'Naga portal in El and the warp matrix on the planet must be destroyed to prevent the enemy from returning reinforcements." He go on:

"If we cannot occupy El's orbit and strike targets from high altitudes, we will have to send troops to destroy them, including the evil god's host."

"This is not easy." Renault said: "Aiur is now full of zerg, and you can pee on the head of the king worm."

"Considering the risk of failure of sending a small-scale special operations force, the number of troops to be sent will not be a small number."

"The latest intelligence also shows that in the previous operation of the Golden Fleet to regain Aiur, the protoss has dispatched many large-scale armies on the surface of the planet, and now these armies are under the orders of Amon. This is what we will argue here s reason."

Renault, who was born in 2470, is already 33 years old. His hair is still dark and thick, and he is in his prime. Even at such a young age, he is already an indispensable role in the Imperial Army.

"I have to say, in addition to the zerg and protoss, there will be a lot of hybrids and shadows of the void on Aiur." Raynor added: "As Warfield said, based on the original plan , we must also send additional troops.”

"This is a distrust of Alpha Squadron!" Edmund Duke jumped up, like a goat whose tail was stepped on. The simulated gravity on the bridge seemed to have no effect on him at all.

"When did my Alpha Squadron fall apart?" he roared angrily, "Do you look down on Alpha Squadron?"

"Duke, I really don't understand." Renault knew that this man just lacked self-awareness, so he seemed overconfident.

"What good does it do you to deceive yourself and humiliate yourself? We need manpower everywhere now, but we don't need clowns in the circus." Reynold's shoulders were slightly raised.

"Young boy, I will make you look like a dead dog." The wrinkles on Duke's face instantly accumulated on his forehead, and he greeted Renault's mother angrily.

"If you want to fight, count me in." Mira Han was eager to give it a try.

"Gentlemen, be careful not to splash blood on my face," Stukov said.

"I believe that Alpha Squadron is capable of the assigned mission, but the energy buildings that power the warp network are scattered in three different areas. Counting the Xel'Naga portal, Alpha Squadron's strength is simply not enough." Warfield said: "There is no need to argue. I have decided to send more troops. We have brought many elite legions just to be able to come in handy at times like this."

"If the attack encounters difficulties, I believe the protoss will not stand idly by. After all, they are fighting for themselves."

"It has been more than ten years since Aiur fell, and those warping networks and psychic matrices are still functioning normally." Matt Horner's first impression is always one of calmness, wisdom, and silence.

Horner is no longer the ignorant child from Terrador. To a certain extent, he is a symbol of the unyielding spirit of the Tyranid Empire Navy.

"I have been thinking about this problem before. What if the Overlord opens a wormhole leading to Aiur when we are not in a good position to attack and are in a hard battle?" He then added: "By then, we will be attacked from both sides. "

"Don't worry." Duke said firmly, "I'm sure it will be too late!"

"You promise?" The expression on Renault's face was already very wrong.

"I promise," Duke said.

"Idiot, what guarantee do you have? Your guarantee is worth mentioning!" Renault spat out a bunch of filthy words in a few words: "If you don't have complete preparations, you will hand over the decision of victory or defeat to others. "

When Duke was about to have an attack, Warfield waved his hand: "The probability is not low."

"The main hive mind is a tool used by Amon to enslave the zerg, and they cannot disobey the Creator's orders at all. In this way, Amon no longer has to worry about controlling the zerg like Kara." He said: "In that case, Even if we destroy the Xel'Naga portal and the warp network, we still can't rest easy."

"When Eamon realized that he was about to lose his incarnation, he no longer cared about the dignity of the 'god'."

"We have no way to prevent the Overlord from opening the wormhole." Stukov said: "We can only go to war with the worms."

"But if we can force the Golden Fleet and the Insect Swarm to return to defense at the same time, the pressure on our frontline troops who are resisting their attack will be greatly reduced."

Although the star system is ten parsecs away from the Aiur system, the fleet is in radio silence to avoid exposure. Therefore, this side has no way of knowing the latest situation on the battlefield in the Koprulu sector, but even so, it is completely predictable what kind of pressure the Imperial Army is under.

The war has developed to this day. Humanity, protoss, and zerg have all suffered endless losses in the endless war, and all they have gained is ruins. Strategically, Eamon is the only winner.

"Why." Mira blinked: "Why don't we just blow up Al, just like we did in Atrias. I don't think the evil god's body can withstand the naval gun."

"Do you want to start a war with the protoss after the war is over?" Matt looked at Mira: "Even if you want to explode, you can't make your own decision without notifying the protoss in advance."

Matt and Mira have already gotten married. This was last year. They held their wedding at the church in New Canaan, Terrador IX. Most of the imperial dignitaries and senior generals were present. The pomp was even better than that of Augustus. Both were much older when they married Kerrigan.

Maybe now we have to call them Horner and Han.

"Matt is right, we can no longer afford another war." Renault also nodded. He has a good relationship with the protoss and is considered a pro-protoss faction.

Aiur is the home planet of the protoss, their eternal home and holy land. Even if the spiritual significance is not considered, there are still a large number of protoss templars left on this planet. Humans won't pay much attention to this, but the protoss will not do anything unless they do something to their fellow humans.

Having said that, the Golden Fleet's numerous atrocities in the Koprulu sector have resulted in the killing of billions, and many once beautiful and prosperous worlds have been reduced to ashes.

This overturned the scene of peaceful coexistence between protoss and humans that Augustus had worked hard to create. Blood and hatred have been deeply planted between the two races. I am afraid that only time can erase it all.

Ordinary soldiers and civilians will not think that the controlled golden fleet is innocent, and any words and deeds that want to forgive the protoss for them are just generosity.

"Then tell them." Mira said, "Maybe, I don't care what a bunch of alien thugs think."

"They can blow up Sagulas, why can't they blow up Al!" Duke snorted coldly. He was the one who hated the Protoss and the Zerg the most among these people, and he was simply intolerable.

"It is better to die a few more stars than to die a few more people. Didn't our people bleed? Didn't our people die unjustly?"

“If you want to blame, blame their gods!”

"The emperor has long discussed this issue with Artanis, the high-ranking executive of Duram, but no matter what, destroying Aiur is our final plan." Warfield said: "Of course, I don't care about the protoss."

"Actually, it may be difficult for us to destroy Aiur just like we destroyed Atrias with our own strength. Last time we used the Moser doomsday device to detonate the high-energy gas in the core of Atrias' planet. This time we may not be able to It worked."

"Otherwise I don't think Emperor Augustus would ask the Protoss for their opinion."

"What a man." Mira said, "I almost fell in love with our emperor."

"Thank God, I didn't ask for it." Matt said without batting an eye.

In this situation, only the seemingly heartless Mira is still happy. As the empire's territories continued to fall, both they and the soldiers below were filled with anger. This was why Duke and Renault were so irritable.

"Sorry, Matthew, you are still the most important man in my heart."

"Thank God, I'm so happy." Matt's mouth moved but he didn't smile.

"Is there any movement on the other side of the earth?" At this point, Duke moved his eyebrows and looked at Stukov, who was a little surprised after hearing this: "I originally thought they would send a fleet."

"I mean, we might have Earth's support."

When he said this, Duke's tone was full of ridicule. This old boy is actually more anxious than anyone else right now. He can't wait to drive Norad III right now and hit the God of Darkness, Emon, in the face.

But Augustus still ordered to wait here for the incoming Ihanri Protoss Fleet and Tal'darin Death Fleet. Under this situation, the impatient Duke almost went crazy with anxiety, but he didn't care so much about the casualties of the frontline soldiers. He was afraid that Eamon would escape. This brain circuit was still as novel as ever.

Speaking of the Death Fleet, with the help of Artanis, the First Ascender Alarak had defeated the former High Lord Marash and reached the top of the Ascendancy Chain.

Judging from the news sent by Alarak, it can be said that he won the victory with his own strength. This statement is actually tenable from the perspective of the Tal'darim, because slaves are not considered human beings after all.

At the same time, there is no need to worry that the Tal'darim who are still loyal to Amon in the Death Fleet will inform their gods, because their new High Lord should not tell them where their fleet is heading and who the target is. No one could have guessed this bold plan to raid Aiur.

Stukov spread his hands: "You ask me, I don't know."

"I don't think there is any need to worry, they won't come." He said: "Although the doomsday has come, since the homeland has not been attacked, other colonies will definitely choose to take the opportunity to rebel. I'm afraid the people on Earth are now in a state of panic."

"Well, at least I will wait here patiently." Renault sighed: "I wonder if the people on Earth drink tea?"

In the era of interstellar colonization, it is too common for branch civilizations to break away from the culture of the mother civilization and become independent. This is due to human nature and the impact of different environments on people. After the first few generations of immigrants, the connection between the people of the new colonies and the homeland will gradually weaken. This is common in the history of Earth's colonization.

Stukov has never been able to integrate into the various factions in the Terran Empire Army because he is an Earthling.

"Where are the proud earthlings?" Duke said, "Oh, they are a bunch of cowards!"

"Whatever you say." Stukov said, "I am still proud of coming from that faraway place."

At this time, Augustus, who had been standing in front of the porthole, turned back and looked back and forth at his capable men: "Do you have any ideas?"

Before Raynor and others could say anything, news came that the Spear of Adun and the Death Fleet had arrived.

So now only the Ihanli Protoss had not arrived.

"The victory and defeat of the Rakshir ceremony have been decided, and I am the high-level lord." As soon as he arrived at the bridge of the White Star, the current Tal'darim high-level lord said arrogantly.

"Well done." Augustus said.

"."

Alarak's eyes turned redder after hearing this, and psychic steam rushed from his forehead. If Augustus said you are awesome, he would probably Rakshir on the spot.

Coaxing a child? !

This human is especially annoying!

"Artanis, even if we can't wait for Zeratul, I'm afraid we have to launch an attack immediately. The Golden Fleet is slaughtering our people and troops." Augustus looked at Artanis who was walking towards him and said.

"You are always sentimental, and any weak emotions are just a burden." Alarak snorted coldly and said nothing more.

"But no matter what, I think the Golden Fleet will not be able to make it in time even if it returns immediately."

"Amon! You will suffer the consequences!"
