In fact, the battle against Antioch went unexpectedly, with little resistance from the insects, at least more than Tassadar had experienced, and the other side was quick to evacuate after learning of their arrival.

When the Astral and Human ships re-entered the battlefield, the Keen Worms spotted them, and at first, the Brainworms put up a stubborn resistance, but when they discovered the presence of the Dark Templars, the resistance became conservative, and the Worms no longer took the initiative in the fortress as if they had been ordered to do so. The entire battle for the fortress took only one morning from start to finish, and it took a lot more time for the Alien to capture this fortress than that.

"Hey, guys," Renault was a little confused about what to say, "is there some conspiracy of the insects?" ”

In fact, it was Daggs who had learned from the insect report that Tasdar had returned to the El, which caused it to panic, and the immortality it was proud of was gone in front of the astral spirits, and the complete death of Zasz still terrified it, and it didn't want to go through it even more.

"Anyway, we have finally recaptured this fortress", the Dark Sect eased the atmosphere, "With the existence of this fortress, even if the province of Thine eventually falls into the hands of the insects, we are not without a chance of victory"

"You're right, Zeratul", the former executive officer looked at him with emotion, "You're always so wise, next, we're going to reactivate the fortress's protective barriers"

"Mentor, I'm afraid this is very difficult," the young Templar asked, "because it has been attacked by the insects, most of the nodes have been damaged, even if they are barely repaired, it still doesn't have much effect, maybe, it can't withstand the two rounds of attacks of the insects... ”

"That's what to do, it's a blessing to be able to bring about a round of attacks," Tasadar was optimistic, "The invasion of the insects has already sacrificed too many of his compatriots, and," he paused, "and, if you can't hold on, you can delay the evacuation a little longer."

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly quieted down, is the situation really so pessimistic?

"No, Mentor," Atanis exalted, "we should take the initiative"

"Oh?"

"We should send troops to Sain"

Tassadar looked at his disciple with a little confusion, "I don't believe you didn't see it, Executive, isn't this happening to the enemy?" ”

In fact, the Worm was very proficient in the tactic of switching houses, and while attacking Sein, he involved the forces of Aldares and asked him to come to his aid, and then, with the power of thunder, captured Antioch. The Juggernaut first attacked this fortress in order to concentrate the nearby star spirit forces, and then feinted to attack the province of Thane, so that the team was exhausted and unable to see through the intentions of the insects. He thought that his disciples should be able to see through it, but why did he do such a useless thing?

"Mentors need merit" The young Templar's words completely woke everyone up, yes, if Tassadar can have a lot of merit in the El's critical moment, then at least he can do a good job, and everyone smiled with relief.

Tassadar didn't look so happy, his brows were still tightly locked, but he looked at his disciple quietly, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, "Atanis, you still don't understand... He shook his head, "However, Artanis has woken me up a little, we need to return to the province of Sain to stabilize the whole situation", he ignored the doubtful disciple, and immediately gave instructions.

"I'll personally lead the team to support, and you" he looked at Artanis, "you're in charge of guarding here, I know it's dangerous"

"Hey, don't worry, man, Zeratul and I are here, and we'll help Artanis hold this place", Renault interjected, "Don't forget, we've also been tested in the attack of the insects, and we're good at dealing with them"

"You're right, my friend," Tassadar nodded, "we've been through a lot together, and I admire your abilities, so I'll leave it to you here."

An hour later, Tassadar led a group of dragoons and Templars out of the area, and Atanis watched the Mentor leave, feeling for the first time that he was separated from the Mentor by something, and that he could not help in any way, which somewhat undermined his confidence. When he saw Tassadar again, he was already in the heart of the Supreme Council.

"Don't worry about him, Executive," the Dark Sect said as if to see his confusion, "don't think about things that you can't understand yet, let it gradually become apparent over time, and all you have to do is prepare for this"

"Thank you, dear elder," Artanis thanked

"Hey, don't talk about these fancy things," Renault interrupted, "I don't understand at all, what should we do next?" Passive defense is not our style! The human tone was wild.

"That's right," Atanis came back to his senses, he decided not to think about the mentor, "This location of the hive in the north" he pointed to the map, "According to the intelligence of the previous Phoenix troop assault, this hive is underground, and this area used to be hilly, so the combat vision is a matter of concern, I decided to leave the five hundred Templars to guard the fortress, and the rest of the troops are fully involved in the battle."

"I know, it's rare for a worm not to burrow," Renault complained, "Count me in, my people can give you some fire support, but we need supplies" He seemed to think of something, "uh... I mean what people eat."

"Okay, actually, I've arranged for Thrandis to prepare," he turned to look at his lieutenant

"Executive, we don't have food for direct human use, but in some areas that are not infested by insects, we have hunted some wild beasts that can be eaten as meat"

"Thank you so much, ma'am"

"Just call me Thrandis, Commander Renault"

Renault looked at Thrandis gratefully, and then said to Artanis, "I think we have to fix the shield first."

"How?"

"You don't want them to play the pit again, do you?"

Atanis propped his forehead, "Oh my God, I forgot about this. You're right, they may send pit bugs to fight, and we have to be prepared."

"It's nothing, Executive," said the Dark Sect, "after all, you haven't dealt with the Worms much before"

"So," the young executive looked at everyone with a confident smile on his face, "Let's get ready according to the plan"
