Chapter 8: The Rising Tide (1)

The first party to act was the United Earth Council, which decisively activated the energy network with the help of the orbital platform, hoping to compress the space of the Star Spirits. But the next assault of the Star Spirit made the humans realize that they had underestimated this opponent.

The entire 10 ships of the Astral Fleet were divided into two parts under the command of Artanis, one part formed an assault formation and bombarded with plasma cannons to test the strength of the entire energy network, and the other part began to cover Zeratul and them to the platform to destroy the energy transmitters.

Although the humans were aware of their plan and wanted to support the platform, they were pinned down by the aircraft carriers in front of them, and the dense frigates pounced on the opponent like moths, making it difficult for the heavy battleships of humans to parry, and they had to allocate a large number of artillery fire to support.

On the other hand, Zeratul was the leader of the demolition team under the escort of the pirate ship, even though there were many bunkers and turrets on the platform, but the static network of the pirate ship made these defenses instantly useless, and the machine gunners in the bunker were even more difficult to withstand the attack of the Dark Templars, they were almost crushed at the touch of a button, after all, in the face of the elusive Naira Mother, humans would not find the enemy's trace even if they died without detection tools.

With the destruction of the energy transmitter, the entire energy network disappeared, and the blockade of the human race was useless, Atanis decisively chose to break through after confirming the news of the return of Zeratul and his party.

On the Alexander, Dugal and Stukov looked at the distant figure of the star spirit and were indifferent, just quietly smoking a cigarette, while in contrast to the quarrels and shouts of the troops everywhere in the bridge command room to confirm the situation of the troops.

"Even though I've overestimated our opponents, it seems that their technology is too far ahead of us," Stukov seemed to ease the mood on the sidelines

"Obviously we are sure to take them", Dugar objected, "their number of ships is too small, and there are problems with the connection, it can be seen that the commander on the opposite side is a novice"

"Here", Stukov did not panic, "he pointed to the side of the star map, and another fleet appeared not far from the planet, according to the news returned by our probe, it seems to be reinforcements from the star spirits, but to my surprise, there is actually a human-style spaceship"

"I see, should the inside and the outside be together?" Dugar dusted off his cigarette ashes, "It seems that this commander still has some way, but they will understand that in the face of absolute power, there is no hidden intrigue and trickery"

"Hey sir, let's just let them live happily for a while, our main goal now is to take this planet and get what we want"

"Hmph, I know what needs to be done the most, I don't need you to remind you" Dugar looked at the adjutant unhappily, "Do your job, what you should think about now is what we need to do next"

"Uhhhh Shouldn't it be something like dinner for dinner", Stukov's gag stopped in time in the other party's annoyed eyes, "Okay, okay, who told me that I was born to work hard, I hope that the things here will surprise me... ”

At this time, the planet Blacksis, in the eyes of the United Earth Council, is like a pig on the chopping board, slaughtered at will...

"Hey man, it looks like you're safe", Renault communicates with Artanis, on the Hyperion, "I thought we'd just have to collect your bodies", he seemed to joke lightly

"Then I'm honored, Jimmy," Atanis dismayed, "but are you sure you can escape from that fleet?" ”

Then they looked at each other and smiled, "But, thank you so much for being there in time, I can feel the other hand stopping."

"Oh? I thought we didn't help much" Phoenix on the side was a little puzzled, "Could it be that the other party's power is very strong?" ”

"Yes, although they are behind us in terms of technology, the power of the cannons of the giant ships they are pursuing should not be underestimated, and besides, they are much more numerous than us", he turned to Renault, "I heard that their commander said that they came to receive the Tyranid Empire, what do you think?" ”

"So Mengsk is in trouble," Renault looked a little strange, "but I hate these new guys, and their tone makes me feel a little uncomfortable"

"Regardless of their intentions, the Astrals will not sit idly by with our allies", Artanis solemnly said at the moment, "Jimmy, let it go"

"Uh... Well, maybe they'll lose both, then my chance has come" Renault slurred and snorted

The executive sighed secretly, although Renault has grown a lot, but, as a leader, he is still too emotional, which is good, but he will miss a lot of opportunities. But....

"Where's the other crystal?" He turned his head and looked at Zeratul, who had been silent all along, as if he had something on his mind

"It's a bit memorable, but the location of the crystal is in Char," the Dark Sect finally said

"Char? Are you mistaken? Renault asked incredulously, "That's really... ”

"Well, anyway, we're going to go out and look for it right away, and we're halfway there," Phoenix said

"Yes, that's right, Thrandis, target Char, turn on the flip mode"

"Yes, Executive"

After Atanis finished giving the order, he turned his head and glanced at the direction of Kerrigan's Leviathan, whether the astral spirits in the original plane suspected him of this location was not very clear, but the executive who knew something about Kerrigan's later actions had to wonder if this was a joint effort by Kerrigan and Raschel to lure them away? By the way, Aldaris, his rebellion was almost without warning, and the original plane only said that he found out that Rashir was being controlled, but how he found out is not explained, at least, Kerrigan killed him before he could tell the truth.

Thinking of Aldaris, he had extremely mixed feelings about him, and he only hoped that the other party could trap him in this life, at least, until he returned.

Two days later, Char was in an extraplanetary orbit

"Zeratul, have you locked Calis' position?" Atanis looked at the red-wrapped planet, and he came to this place again, but there was no Tassadar beside him.

"Yes. I remember the last time I sensed its energy on this planet, but I didn't dig deeper. However, our sensors show that in its place, there is a huge, undulating energy signal", Speaking of which, the Dark Sect continued in a puzzled tone, "I can't determine the source of this signal"

"Zeratul, it's obvious, the source is the master", Kerrigan has already arrived on the ship at this time, "the source is the master." The brainworms all appeared here, and they must have locked up Calis's energy and then built a nest around it. There is a good chance that there will be a fair amount of insect swarms there to protect. It's a lot of risk, but if we can attack quickly and hard, maybe there's a chance to get through their lines and escape with crystals."

If Artanis, who was still a little suspicious just now, now he has determined that this is a scene directed and acted by Kerrigan, everything is too coincidental, and she is too calm, these arrangements themselves are not faulty, and they are also guided step by step, but she is too natural, this is the biggest failure.

However, "You underestimate us too much, Kerrigan", Artanis smiled secretly, he didn't intend to say it, he didn't have the capital to compete with this queen yet, but to underestimate the eldest son of God, there is a price, sooner or later.
