Chapter 24: The Truth in the Fog (13)
"They really came", Renault looked at the figure of the UED ship displayed in the detector, although the star spirit lost the control of the el, but it can still be done by turning on the monitoring network for a short time through the camp, but it can only be done to this extent, no matter how big it is, it may cause the attack of the insects.
"Well, of course they'll come," Duke said disdainfully, "it's not a good idea to let us exist"
"Jim Reynolds, no matter what the outcome of this time, I won't be grateful to you", the joint meeting invited all the personnel, and Mengsk's improvement looked good, but his face was still pale. In fact, His Majesty the Emperor has the most complicated feelings towards Renault, in the past, he would not care about this useless flag, this traitor, and even took away the flagship he had worked so hard to build. However, at the most critical time of the Empire, it was indeed this traitor whom he wanted to kill quickly saved himself, which is a great irony.
"Haha, Arcturos, your cheap life is temporarily stored there, I will go and get it in the future"
Artanis listened quietly, the smile on his face a little unfathomable, and he opened his mouth to signal the meeting to begin, "Okay, we're not here to talk to each other. Gentlemen, we should be aware of the situation we are facing", he clicked on the observation map of the console, and the situation on the entire surface of the El was unobstructed, "There are hives in these places, they have sensed our presence, but for well-known reasons, they have not made any further movements"
Renault showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, "Hey man, don't say it so vaguely"
"Hmph, that damn slut, she... Duke was still so open-mouthed, but his words succeeded in making everyone present frown.
"Shut your stinky mouth, don't you want to think about who caused this, didn't you see that your master didn't speak?"
"You..." , Edmund Duke was so angry that he was going to beat the other party immediately. Well, they actually fought, but Duke lost at the time.
"That's enough, Duke, sit down," Mengsk said, "So, Starling, do you have any plans?" ”
"We shouldn't fight hard, the other party will definitely almost fall into the nest, so, with our troops, we have to worry about the possible attack of the insects, and if one is not good, it will be destroyed", Artanis quietly observed everyone, except for Duke who was still indignant there, the others were not dissatisfied, "My plan is to open the portal, and then leave here and go to join Kerrigan"
"Rendezvous with her? I don't think that's good advice", Duke finally found a place to interject, however, he couldn't help but be a little frustrated when he found that no one should talk to him.
In fact, although the three clans are full of contradictions and conspiracies with each other, for now, they have a common goal, that is, UED and domination, as for what happens next, to be honest, there is no eternal enemy, only interests, which is the reason why the leaders do not exclude.
"Our portals and ships need to be recharged before they can hit the road, and during this time, we need to fend off the attack from the UED."
"We won't be able to resist for long, man," Renault said worriedly, "as for these old and sick, they can only be a burden"
"Hey, boy, what kind of eyes are you, don't look down on people, when Lao Tzu served the Federation and served the Empire, you didn't know which girl's belly it was in", Duke replied not to be outdone
"What do you say, mongrel? If it weren't for me, your corpse would have been eaten by a bug."
"Guys, there's no time to argue, the UED is already here"
Everyone present looked at the red dots on the screen with solemn faces, and some of them fought this battle.
"Alright, warriors, I'll personally guide the Crystal Tower to charge the portal, and our Templars, led by Phoenix, will fend off the attack with you on the front. Thrandis, our fleet is in your hands, you need to keep the portal safe, and support your human friends at all times."
"We'll take care of the frontal blockade," Renault nodded, "By the way, why didn't you see Phoenix?" He seems to have disappeared since he came back."
"Ah, he's gone to find survivors, there's no better task than him", explained the Executive, "rest assured, he'll be back, in fact, he just corresponded with me and found a group of Star Spirits, most of whom are Templars, protecting our Calle Estate, well, Clerics and Engineers"
"Oh? That's great news", Renault knew how important engineers were to the current Star Spirits, in fact, there were very few Technicians among the Star Spirits on Sacoolas, after all, most of them were Templars when they fled, and they didn't care about them at all. With their presence, the Spirits can quickly regain their technological power.
"Okay, guys, the war has begun"
Eyre, outer space orbit
"This is the home of the Star Spirits?" , Stukov looked at the planet below, "it doesn't seem to be any different"
"No, sir, actually, we wouldn't even be able to detect its location if it hadn't been for the insects that captured this place", Duran acted as a docent, "It is said that this place was once wrapped in a protective shield by the Star Spirit, which was effectively hidden"
"Is it the kind of turtle shell that resembles a Star Spirit Ship?"
"Uh... That's true."
Although the tone is a little frivolous, but in fact, Dugar and Stukov are not calm in their hearts, they are not newcomers, they are the spirit of the second in the world, although they often look down on the enemy, but it is more of a strategic contempt, otherwise, they will not be able to reach today's status with arrogance alone. Especially after coming to the Koplu Star Zone, the people they once exiled have achieved something else in the field of science and technology, and the strange weapons of the Star Spirit and the life form of the insect have opened their eyes and are full of worries. Unlike the two of them who were so arrogant on the outside, in fact, they had communicated many times, and when dealing with these two races, they were almost certain to lose when they were evenly matched. But thankfully, they seem to be favored by the heavens, and the strength of the star spirits and the insects has been greatly damaged, and as for the Tyranid Empire, which can cause them trouble, it is also because the country is still short and the local control is not enough, which has allowed them to get to where they are now.
"Everyone, we have now arrived at the lair of the Star Spirit, although it has been attacked by the insects, but no one knows if the Star Spirit has left a hand, so we have to fight quickly", Dugar turned his head to look at the adjutant, "Alexey, just follow the plan"
"Hey hi, got it, old man"
"Sir, I'll take care of the flanks", Duran lowered his head with a strange smile on his face, pathetic human, this is where your destruction begins.
