Chapter 10: The Rising Tide (3)
Planet Blackcis, Boralis
With the destruction of the Empire's entire defenses, the planet has completely opened its doors to the United Earth Council, and Dugal and Stukov smiles of satisfaction on their faces as they look at the slightly dilapidated municipal buildings in front of them.
"The mission was successful, Lieutenant General," Duran's voice came from the communicator
"Very well, lieutenant", Stukov responded, "the main defense system of the planet has been destroyed. Our tactical units can now begin to decode the Empire's secure data connections"
"Congratulations"
"Gossip," Dugar said, "you are welcome to join, Lieutenant, and you may join us for dinner."
"It's an honor, Admiral"
An hour later, the Civic Center meeting room
"It's a simple place, but it's a makeshift dining place, and it's a little qualified," Dugar said with a little disgust, "Lieutenant, Stukov has told me everything you've done in this battle. I have to commend you for making the right choice at the beginning. Our tactical squad has decoded the Empire's data connection and gained access to the most classified documents in Mengsk, however, this is just the beginning"
"We have identified the location of the Dalarian dockyard. It was the Empire's fuel supply depot and repair yard, and there were currently a number of battlecruisers that were still in use. In order to ensure our absolute superiority in this sector, we must attack the dockyard and steal as many ships as possible", Stukov explained his strategy in detail, "although the technology of these ships is somewhat backward, it is better than nothing"
"Sir, I beg your pardon, I have a piece of information to inform you" Duran suddenly interjected, "we must be extremely careful in this mission, the Imperial Commander can send reinforcements to the edge base within sixteen standard hours, this is very different from the situation we have here, I think we should be prepared to deal with it"
"Very well, Lieutenant", Dugar said after finishing off a steak, he put down the napkin in his hand and looked at the naturalized member, "Your intelligence is vital to us, although I don't think the Empire in Mengsk is capable of holding us back"
"Well, then, I'll send some squadrons to act with you, renegade, good luck"
"Yes, sir", and then, Duran left the table, he was going to get ready for action.
"You don't like him a little?" Admiral Dugar was a little dumbfounded, "Give this kid a little compliment, he just reminded us that we will be attacked"
"No matter how useful his advice is, Gerald, in my eyes he is a traitor, you should be like me"
"Whatever you want, Alexei, but, he's still useful", Dugal lit his cigarette and took a heavy puff, "it's time to act, maybe that dockyard will surprise us, I want to see how the ships in Mengsk compare to ours, but... He looked at Stukov with a serious face, "After capturing the cruiser, we will have to deal with a possible attack, but don't capsize in the gutter."
"Hehe, I thought you would say something, don't worry", Stukov said fiercely, "maybe there is, but it won't be here"
Char planet
It's been two weeks since the Astral Spirit Force descended on this planet. It's not like playing a game, where a battle can be played in half an hour at most. Constant scouting, attacking, detours, routines, and now, the hive is in front of you.
Atanis and Zeratul looked at the nest surrounded by insects, their faces solemn, "It seems that the ground forces alone cannot effectively break through the blockade of the insects, Zeratul, is the new master with Calis?" "If it is, it's very tricky.
"I'm not sure, our probes can only detect their psionic reactions."
"Looks like we need to probe it up close", he said as he looked at the Dark Sect, "I'll send aircraft carriers and pirate ships to give you frontal cover and entangle them to prevent them from moving", they are standing at a makeshift Astral Hub at this time, fighting the insects usually requires speed and precision, but huge logistics are also a top priority.
"Okay, Executive, wait for my good news", with that, he led the samurai out
"Mentor, I don't think they alone will be able to accomplish the task", Thorlandis questioned on the side, "I have no intention of negating their combat prowess, but, having fought us many times with the insects, I don't think they are unprepared for the abilities of Mother Naira."
Artanis, who was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, "Yes, you have grown, Thrandis, many victories and the success that has been going so far have made us a little taken lightly, the insect is not without growth, but we are not unprepared, and besides, this is a tacit action in itself... ”
"Mentor, I don't understand", tacit action reconciliation?
"You'll understand later," the executive's eyes flashed with an unclear color.
With the full advancement of Atanis, all the aircraft carriers of the Star Spirit Force released their wingmen and began to carry out collective strikes on the alien buildings and flying units, the arrival of the pirate ship made the ground defense system of the alien insect almost paralyzed, and the aircraft carrier's isoparticle light cannon carried out indiscriminate bombardment on the ground, and a large area of the alien insect was directly turned into ashes, and the sudden and violent attack caught the alien insect a little unprepared.
"Leap the ground forces, enter the hive, take on the Dark Templars, and capture Calis", Atanis ordered, this must be ended as soon as possible, and the situation in Sarculas cannot be delayed.
"Oh, the cannon fire is fierce", the Dark Sect listened to the cannon fire outside the hive, "Looks like our executive can't wait"
They were now out of the hatchery of the hive, and as far as the eye could see, all sorts of spores were hanging on the walls, "Are you going to destroy them, Patriarch?" One of Naira's mothers asked
"No, this will keep the insects on guard and get rid of the guards," they said, bypassing the corpses of the stinging snakes and jumping worms guarding the area, and continued on their way, facing an open field, in the center of which was a crystal mine, in which Calis glowed with a lilac light.
"It's there!" , But the dark sect is not easy, as far as he can see, two brain worms appear in the field of vision, and, there are also thunder beasts, cockroaches and other difficult guys next to them, it seems that not all brain worms are here, as for the vaguely revealed form of the huge spores in the back, it should be the master, although it is far away, but there is still a sense of oppression.
"Atanis, I've found my target", he started the communication, and now, he had to call for help...
