Chapter 22: Shadow Attack
I disagree. Elder Priestley shook his head, a councillor who studies extraterrestrial civilizations, "Too much help will lead to the Skrull civilization becoming dependent on us, and we can't meddle in this war." ’
But the Awebang civilization is already on the verge of destruction, and if we don't intervene any longer, will we watch the murderous bee swarm kill them all?' 'Elder Kepel is involved in the conservation of extraterrestrial creatures, and has always had a strong opinion on murderous swarms.
'Whether it's different tribes on the same planet, or different empires in the same star field, what difference does it make to us?' Elder Marion has always believed that there should be no meddler, and has even been very opposed to the protection regulations in Dawu.
'Our great Lord God, Ayr, is the Lord of spirit and heart, the God of knowledge and wisdom, and we are the firstborn of God, so it is only natural that we should help the Lord God to govern these beings of higher wisdom. Melville, the Protector, expressed his opinion, "We also have a responsibility to regulate the behavior of those intelligent beings after they step into the stars, otherwise allowing them to destroy indiscriminately will only lead to the early arrival of the end day." ’
The councillors were silent for a while, and then began to discuss. But just as the gods never interfere with the mortal world, we cannot easily interfere with the development of lower civilizations ... But we also know that the gods are watching over us, just as we are watching the civilizations ... ’
Aldares listened to the arguments of the councillors with a headache, this is also because the Killing Swarm incident is too special, and it is the first time that the Star Spirit Empire has encountered this kind of race that only kills, and the original law needs to be revised according to the actual situation.
'Since we've all agreed to protect the lower civilizations, but can't expose them to them, why not send an elite team to secretly assassinate the mastermind of the murderous swarm, which as far as I know, will cause chaos in the swarm. One of the councillors, Kremans, who represented Nerazim, offered his opinion.
'This ... The rest of the councillors were momentarily torn apart, as the Templars of Light had always believed that they should defeat their enemies in a dignified manner, and were not very accustomed to assassinating them with such plots.
'Think of the Fanged King's methods, and if we want to defeat the enemy, we must first understand him. Aldares also thought it was a good idea, and began to persuade the councillors.
'If you can't pull the men down to assassinate you, we in Narazim can take full responsibility for this.' Councillor Criminance shrugged his shoulders and said he could take full responsibility.
'Ahem, we're just thinking about who we should send to carry out the mission, Congressman Crimans. Elder Priestley smiled awkwardly, and in order to prove his claim, he quickly chose a good candidate, "I think Executive Tassadar is a good fit for this task, he is a disciple of Arden, and he must be able to coordinate the task better." ’
Although Nerazim had been a member of the Star Spirit Empire for thousands of years, due to their small population and relatively closed customs, they were rarely seen by ordinary Light Templars.
Councillor Crimance smiled and approved Elder Priestley's recommendation, and Ardares announced the outcome when he saw that the rest of the elders were in agreement.
In response to this murderous bee colony incident, Tasadar is now appointed as the commander-in-chief of the operation, and Zeratul is the deputy commander, leading ten members of each of the Light and Dark Sanctuary to eliminate the swarm mastermind and solve the threat. ’
Tassadar was also surprised after receiving the order, he didn't expect that the Council of Light and Shadow would finally hand over this matter to him, and after coming to Karati and meeting with his old friend Zeratul and a group of Dark Templars, Tassadar led the twenty or so people to secretly come to the main system of the murderous swarm.
In order to avoid alarming the Killy Swarm with the huge psionic fluctuations, Tassadar and his team first traveled to the main star of the Killy Swarm, then used a shuttle to send themselves and Zeratul to an island, and then used the (Pet X) Probe to Leap the Crystal Tower and Leap the Templars.
After arriving at the planet, Zeratul seemed to sense something, 'Tassadar, I seem to sense a powerful dark energy that seems to be on this planet. Zeratul said to Tassadar uncertainly.
'Dark energy? Are you sure? Tassadar frowned, feeling that this matter was not simple, the observer of the Star Spirit Empire had been on this planet, but it had not sensed any dark energy, and he really did not sense it.
I'm not sure, but this force looms and seems to be a delusion on my part, which is probably why the observer is not responding. Zeratul roughly described his feelings.
'Looming?' It's very likely to be true, the detector is not a human after all, and there is no strong spiritual energy cultivation, and why only you can sense it, it may have something to do with the talent of your Dark Templars, although I am a fellow practitioner of light and darkness, but in some aspects I am still not as powerful as your specialty. Tassadar thought about it and thought that it was very likely that it was true, and if that was the case, then it was almost certain that the Fangs King was behind the murderous bee colony.
Tassadar thought for a moment, then said, "While there is a good chance that there is a conspiracy behind this, he could not have expected that we would be secretly carrying out a mission in the form of a task force, and I think we can just take the lead and capture the Fanged King." ’
But Zeratul clearly has a different opinion: 'According to your last intelligence, the Fanged King is able to use the power of the Relic, and we are most likely no match for him. ’
Tassadar shook his head and said, "The best chance is precisely because we don't seem to be his opponent, the Fanged King is so cunning, if we send out an army, I can guarantee that he will definitely slip away, but if we look weak and come by accident, he will most likely show up and kill us, and this is our chance." ’
Zeratul's brow furrowed, and suddenly his mind flashed: 'You mean? That forbidden art? ’
'That's right, it's the Forbidden Archon. Although we don't seem to be strong, and none of us have reached the twelfth level of psionic energy, as long as we use the forbidden technique, we can reach the realm of demigods in one fell swoop, and then the Fangs King will be unable to escape. Tassadar spoke firmly, as long as he could take down the Fanged King and reclaim the relics, all the sacrifices would be worth it.
"This is too risky, not to mention that no one has ever used the forbidden spell, how can you guarantee that you can still keep your mind clear after casting the forbidden spell, and besides, the Fanged King is not easy to deal with, I think we should report to the Council of Light and Shadow and call the latest storm warship to purify this planet." Zeratul shook his head in disagreement.
'A large stellar system near this planet is controlled by the Killing Swarm, and the fleet's travel will inevitably alarm the Fangs King, and the range of the Storm Battleship cannot be directly hit here from the El, and if you contact the Council, you need to build a complete psionic matrix, which will easily be detected by the Fangs King. Tassadar shook his head and objected, "The Fanged King suffered a loss last time, he will never face our fleet again, as long as there is a disturbance, he will escape, this opportunity is rare, if you miss it, it will be difficult to catch him again, and we can't confirm the existence of the Fanged King at present, so it is really a good strategy to rush to send a fleet." ’
Zeratul took a deep breath, and he had to agree with Tassadar, 'But we still need to ask their opinions.' Zeratul, knowing that the answer would only be that one, euphemistically agreed with Tassadar.
Tassadar smiled slightly, and let the cute explorer leap over the crystal tower, and the Templars came to the planet in the light of the leap, Tassadar looked closely, and almost all the higher-ranking Dark Templars frowned, and when he saw this, he told everyone present about his discussion with Zeratul.
Sure enough, no one would give up any chance to kill the Fanged King, everyone agreed with Tassadar's idea, Zeratul shook his head helplessly, if he wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to defeat the Fanged King, he might have agreed from the beginning.
Tassadar let the probe retract the crystal tower, after all, such a large target was still too obvious here, and after packing up, the group set off for the place where the dark energy they sensed was strong.
Coming to the first place with a lot of dark energy, this is a canyon, surrounded by a large group of ordinary individuals who are thirsty for bees, and dense groups of sub-individuals crawl all over the valley, these sub-individuals look the size of puppies, covered with spikes, with hideous faces, such a large group of people stationed here, it looks strange.
Zeratul and Tassadar looked at each other, and the Dark Templars melted into the shadows, while Tassadar created a fog to obscure himself and the other Templars.
Zeratul led a group of Dark Templars through the sub-entities, using psionic energy to distort the space they were in so that the insects could not feel their path, and walked into the canyon, where Zeratul found a withered tree that was emitting a steady stream of dark energy.
Zeratul knew that the tree was likely the source of these dark energies, and as he approached the tree, he noticed that the swarm of insects behind him seemed to be moving. When I turned to look, I saw a group of insects carrying a huge white worm walking towards the tree.
"Si, you stupid brutes, dare to do this to your queen, Si, let go, you lowly commoners." Through telepathy, Zeratul learned what the strange bug was saying, very easily.
The insect in front of me is different from the insect that is surrounded by spikes and has a very powerful attack at first glance, although it is many times larger than other insects, but it is bloated and it is very difficult to even move.
Zeratul, who did not have a bad science in astral biology, quickly thought of ants and bees, their queens are so bloated and only responsible for laying eggs, if the killing bee colony is really similar to the social structure of ants and bees, then the identity of this female worm is very likely to be the queen in her mouth, so why is this queen treated like this?
