Chapter 16: The Beginning of Destiny (3)
The mothership of the Star Spirit streaked across the sky like a giant beast, and every human and Zeg who saw them was photographed by its momentum, and the route they passed was covered with the wreckage of the human fleet, because of the effect of high-altitude gravity, these wreckage had not yet fallen, and the beam on the ship was aimed at the human fleet, and every launch marked the destruction of a human spaceship.
However, Tassadar overestimated the combat capabilities of his own troops, or rather, underestimated the strength of human resistance and the determination of the insects to fight back. The number of insects attracted by the twelve launchers is terrifying, you know, Antiga only has one launcher, and the insects attracted are enough to make a planet unstudied, even if Tasanis is larger than Antiga, the population is large, and the security is heavy, but its defense force has been almost destroyed by Mengsk, and its fate is predictable.
Countless insect air forces attacked the Star Spirit's fleet, and more and more spore insects rushed towards the ship's hull desperately, and after just a few rounds, the protective shield of the Star Spirit's air fleet was damaged to varying degrees, and then under the Yamato cannon attack of the Hyperion hidden behind the surprise sneak attack, the situation became more and more precarious.
The atmosphere at this time was extremely solid, and Marsar stood beside Tassadar, looking at the battle scene outside, and he was still a little incredulous. Claiming to be the eldest sons of God, they are invincible beings in this universe, and no native planet can compete with them, and those who can compete have long been destroyed by the star spirits and disappeared in the long river of time.
But this time in the human realm, their troops suffered a serious blow, at this time more and more warning signals came, the Star Spirit's expeditionary force was about to be lost, Marsal did not dare to predict the result, but obviouslyγγγγγ
Tassadar's heart was full of confusion and remorse at this time, it was he who ordered the ground troops to help humans resist the invasion of insects, and it was also when he realized that something was wrong that he did not withdraw immediately, but began to fight back, this time the loss was a heavy loss compared to the already small population of the star spirits.
Time was running out for him, and with a violent shaking and shaking, the shield of the Gancui Lock had been completely broken, and he had to make a decision, and once that happened, it meant that the Star Spirit had to admit the defeat of the expedition.
"All ship railguns, aim at the front area, strafe, fold and jump, prepare for the chrono jump, target number Planet 543, start immediately...
Marsar looked at him, and through Kara's link, he could clearly feel that the executive's heart was not at peace, "My lord, it's not your fault, we just... β
"Just underestimating the situation? Underestimating our enemies? The magistrates of the Supreme Council do not believe this, we fight the war, and we are responsible for success and failure, not to mention. Tassadar looked ahead, "What's more, I have disobeyed orders many times, and in their opinion, it is my disobedience that will lead to ultimate defeat, if... β
"Alright, let's not talk about that, our goal this time is to find a planet that is temporarily safe, do a short repair, and then merge with the Seventh Fleet, and now it seems that my original arrangement with Androxus and them still worked", Tassadar laughed to himself, "Then, report the details of this operation to Al, dismiss the meeting, and rest separately"
As it turned out, even if the Star Spirit suffered a rout, their departure was in danger due to their strong technological superiority and the advanced force of the ships.
Seeing that the Protos fleet had finally disappeared in front of his eyes, Mengsk breathed a long sigh of relief, so that it would be foolproof, and the dictator lost no time in announcing the news loudly on the all-channel radio, "Gentlemen, warriors, because of our unity, the Protos fleet has been defeated by us, they are not invincible, come on, victory is at hand, let's go and expand our new future together... β
"He's lying, shit" Renault yelled when he heard it
Mike, on the other hand, ignored him, fiddling with the ship's radio in the hope of contacting Kerrigan.
Renault walked over and said, "She won't like you doing this, but, try it anyway"
After a long time, Mike shook his head and punched the ground. "Damn, there's too much communication, all the sounds are mixed together, I'm going to tell carefully", suddenly, he was pleasantly surprised to find that a brand new link appeared in front of his eyes, "Let's try, God forbid"
"This is Kerrigan" The picture is very clear, but her condition does not look good, she feels scared, anyone who is surrounded by the Zeg will feel scared, "We have eliminated and driven away the ground forces of the Protos tribe, there are a large number of Zeg tribes coming towards me, now you need to apply for evacuation, please accept us... Suddenly, the image of Mengsk appeared in the frame, "Ignore that message, let's evacuate immediately... β
"Bastard, you're going to leave them alone? Where is your conscience? Renault angrily picked up the signal, and he asked Mengsk loudly
However, Mengsk may not have heard it, and he directly ordered, "All ships are ready, evacuate Tasanis immediately... β
The picture was temporarily interrupted, and under Mike's full remedy, Kerrigan's image flashed again, "What do you say about retreating, Renault?" Arcturos? But no one answered, and more and more Zeg arrived, and she and the remaining ghost agents fled in all directions, but one by one, the shadow of death began to loom over her.
Finally, after tumbling under a bunker, she looked around, and there were no surviving human figures, one after another Zeg figures appeared, and she couldn't escape. She finally contacted Renault and them, but the blocking of the signal left no answer from the other side. The gun in her hand slipped to the ground, and she looked up at the sky again, trying to see Mengsk's flagship, but the thick smoke obscured her vision, and then her figure was drowned in the rushing Zegγγγγγγ
The radio signal was completely cut off, and "We're going to save her" Renault shouted
The transports changed course and began to head towards the final signal location of the Kairigan, but due to signal interference, they were not able to learn the exact location, and along the way, they had to dodge more and more attacks from the Zeg tribe, and also dodge the wreckage of the ship from high altitude, shaking and rolling violently to make everyone feel embarrassed.
The radio has been trying to connect, and a signal came, it was a male voice, "Seeking evacuation instructions, we have a lot of civilians and officials, it is relatively safe here, but there is a Zeg surrounding, please rescue the nearby spaceship... β
"See Lieutenant Kerrigan, where is she?" Renault asked, seizing the moment
"She's not here, sir, we've suffered a bit of heavy casualties, and it looks like the Zeg are about to launch a new attack, and if we don't rescue us, we won't be able to leave...
Mike looked at Reynolds, the figure of this strong man, standing stiff at this time, his expression was indescribable, it was a mixture of despair, sadness and guilt, "Okay... of, understood, we landed immediately, please be ready to evacuate"
"That Kerrigan... Mike didn't finish because he saw Renault's sad eyes looking at him, "Don't say it... β
Ten minutes later, the ship landed in the ruins of an office building, and as soon as the pilot lowered the landing gate, a group of exiles ran over, led by a non-commissioned officer of the Mengsk army.
"It's so good to finally see you, I thought I was here for the rest of my life...
Mike had to interrupt the over-excited soldiers, and he hurried to ask, "Have you seen Lieutenant Kerrigan?"
"There is no commander, we are a combination of scattered personnel of multiple units, and it is said that some of us have seen them fighting on the other side...
Renaud was finally disappointed, and Mike seemed to hear his heartbroken voice, "You guys... You take them on board and we'll go back."
"We can search for it again," Mike tried to reassure
"A whole bunch of Zeg are coming, and it's twelve launchers, oh my God, twelve... He couldn't go any further, and Mike patted him on the shoulder
"I'm a little uncomfortable, man, somebody's going to help me"
"Me too", Mike finally glanced around, "let's go"
