Planet No. 10453, outer orbital space, Astral fleet

Artanis looked at the star map, Char was not far away, there was still half a day to arrive, and he had to make a choice.

"Executive, I'm Aldaris" The sheriff's voice rang out from a nearby comm device, "It's not going well" He looked a little anxious

"Huh? What's going on? ”

"I just received news from the High Council that an army of insects has broken through the energy blockade of the El and descended from the void to the vicinity of the Temple of Sarnagar, they are numerous and have a huge psionic reaction" Obviously, he did not expect the situation to be so volatile, "Our forces in the El are not enough to protect our homeland"

"What, how is it possible" Actually, Artanis knew that this moment would come, and in the original interstellar history, when Atanis was appointed as an executive, he did not come to arrest Tassadar, but organized a defense against the invasion of insects in Antioch and Phoenix. After a failed assassination attempt with Phoenix, he came to Char with Aldaris. And in this life, because of Artanis's apprenticeship, from the beginning, there has been a slight change in fate, not only he came to Char, but Phoenix was also on the way to converge.

"It seems that I can't continue to Char with you," Aldaris seemed to have decided, "I will return and intercept Phoenix's fleet, and then quickly reinforce the El"

"Will the Supreme Council agree to activate the forbidden weapon" Atanis reminded without a trace, according to the development of the original history, this time the El War Star Spirit has all kinds of delayed fighters and self-abolition martial arts, and many powerful weapons such as Colossus and Purifier are all mothballed.

"It's unclear how they discovered the El, but they only attacked here when we were unprepared and the expeditionary force was frustrated" Aldares didn't answer his question directly, but the answer was obvious, "I don't think they can stand up to us fighting on our homeland"

"However, the insect should have some secret weapon for attacking the El this time, right? Besides, they have taken possession of the temple of Sarnagar, and although the temple has long since been abandoned, it still hides a lot of ways to use the Kedarin crystals... ”

"No, Executive," Aldaris looked a little impatient, "do your own thing, your mission is to bring Tassadar back smoothly and find out the truth of Char"

"I... Understood" Artanis felt a huge sense of frustration hit him, and sure enough, he was still too naïve, the Templar CEO said nicely, in fact, it was the army, the thugs, and the army, there was no need to have a mind of their own, this was the consensus of all the big people, even more so in the hierarchical society of the Star Spirit.

"Executive, what are we going to do?" Thrandis asked from the side, at this time the communication had ended, the Astral fleet of ten aircraft carriers had split in two, and Aldaris had taken eight of them, and in his mind, leaving two for Artanis, it would be enough.

"Contact the ground forces, ask about their coordinates and the current situation"

"Yes, Executive"

On the ground, time goes back a few days ago, and Renault and Tasadar and Zeratul are running for their lives under the pursuit of Kerrigan, "Where are we going, guys?" Renault was sick of this aimless escape.

"To where we can set up camp," Tassadar said, running to the sidelines, "you need to give me an explanation, Dark Patriarch"

"Maybe it's my fault, maybe the Lord spied on me when he spied on his memories" Zeratul did not deny it, "I am willing to take this responsibility, but the El is also our home, and I have no intention of letting it die"

He and Tassadar looked at each other, green to blue, Renault watching boredly, and he noticed that for a moment they nodded to each other, and that was it? Well, the Star Spirit is indeed mysterious.

"It seems that you have taken your responsibility," Tasadar was slightly relieved, "but until I know the truth about this, I will monitor your every move"

"It's my fault, I'm willing to accept it," Zeratul did not object, and then he turned on the Stick mode, "Because of fate, we are connected to each other, and different threads will be intertwined to form a better picture"

Tassadar ignored Renault's constipated face and his approving chin as he said, "You warned us in time, James Renault, we will be reliable allies"

A day later, they escaped capture for the time being, at the cost of 20 more Star Spirits and 8 Humans, and Kerrigan was like a good hunter and an experienced herdsman, driving them away, playing with them, trying to drain them of their last drop of blood.

Renault woke up from his sleep aching, and after joining up with his men, they finally had a makeshift camp, the Starling's Crash Ship, but only temporarily.

As it turns out, Kerrigan won't give her prey a chance, and before they arrived, it was already overrun by a small group of insects, who, after chasing away these pesky creatures, found that the ship was completely damaged and they wouldn't have a chance to leave the planet.

"It's not time for despair yet," Tassadar said, apparently reading Renault's thoughts, "there will always be a way"

The other astral spirits sat on the sidelines, like statues, and they were cold to humans, only occasionally standing up to rehearse.

"Hey, this can't take me down, I've experienced more desperate things" he remembered Kerrigan, "I said, it's not a way for us to escape like this" He looked at the two Star Spirit Leaders, "Most of the insects have been brought to you, and the rest is Kerrigan's swarm, and this part is limited after all, we can completely eliminate a little bit at a time, so that her army will be smaller and smaller... ”

"Good advice," Zeratul exclaimed, "Although we don't have a chance of winning head-to-head battles, we can take the initiative to go into skirmishes again and again."

Tassadar looked at the Dark Sect in surprise, "You want to fight?" ”

The Dark Sect nodded, "The insects generally travel in the plains or depressions, and we go to the mountains, so that we occupy the commanding heights and the initiative, and can quickly attack and evacuate."

Tassadar had recovered from the blow he had learned of the attack on El, "In our accounts, the Dark Templars were incompetent and cowardly" He looked at him curiously, "but you're clearly not"

"A star spirit has a mentor who decides," said Zeratul, "The lesson is taught by the teacher, not a true record"

"But this is Kara's guide," Tasadar retorted

"So, whose hands is Kara in control!" Zeratu shot back sharply, "You know, it is your leader who protects my people, Arden!" ”

"What? This... Tassadar couldn't believe it

"History is hidden in the fog, waiting for you to dig into it and take a good look at it all"

"Maybe you're right. I will look at these again through you and your people"

"You two, I don't want to interrupt you", Renault walked over, "but the insects are approaching fast, and it looks like we're making a move"

The two Star Spirits turned to look at him at the same time, "You're right," Zeratul nodded, and although his face was expressionless, Renault could feel the other's pleasure.

Damn, when am I going to be a ghost agent too? Renault laughed at himself

Everyone began to return to their troops to get ready, and they wanted to ambush the insects.

It has to be said that it is a good place for ambushes, with the Star Spirits hiding in the rocks with humans, and Zeratul and his Dark Templars hiding in the shadows, and although Renault can't see them, he can be sure that they are nearby.

As if it were an attack on a ship, this time it was still a small force, and Kerrigan did not appear in front of everyone. Except for a few huge thunder beasts, the rest are some jumping insects and stinging snakes, fortunately there are no flying dragons, otherwise it would have been a headache.

The insects poured into the valley, but the enemy was gone, and the whole team looked a little confused, and this was the time to attack. All the astral spirits were speeding down the valley, cutting into the Alien troops, and the human machine gunners strafing and covering in the rear. The insect's retreat was blocked, and the battle was over in just a few minutes.

"I think we should be transferred," Tassadar began, "and it won't be long before the insects arrive"

"Well, that's right, I don't want to face the Queen of Blades right now," Zeratul laughed at himself

"Hey, it's getting fun, isn't it?" Renault turned to the adjutant and said, "So, let's go, guys"

For the next few days, they camped for a short time each time, fighting the insects, then running away, fighting, and then fleeing, the difference was that they would take the initiative to eliminate the insects that came to spy on them. Little by little, they weakened the insects, or at least they thought so, and dodged Kerrigan as best they could.

They work together, with the Star Spirit in charge of dividing the battlefield and melee attacks, while Renault's machine gunners, equipped with Gauss rifles and sighting systems (which can be understood as high-energy sniper rifles), carry out rear fire support and long-range strikes.

During this period, Tasadar and Zeratu's performance made Renault a little incomprehensible, they always kept discussing something, and there were arguments during the process, and then saying something that Renault did not understand. In the end, they get caught up in some kind of psychic connection. However, Tassadar would have been happier if he hadn't looked at him so guiltily, which left him a little scratching his head.

"He's ashamed of you and humanity," Zeratul explained

"What?" Renault was a little dazed, "You mean my ship?" ”

"No, not exactly, since it has been irretrievably attacked by the insects, then, this decision is correct" The Dark Sect denied.

Tassadar spoke at this time, "The purpose of our Star Spirit Expeditionary Force is to destroy the entire world infested by alien insects."

"The whole?" When he was affirmed by the other party, Renault seemed to be as cold as ice, "Marsala... ”

"Yes, regardless of the degree of infection, as long as it exists, it will be destroyed"

"So how much did you destroy," Renault was a little excited, "are you going to kill us all?" ”

"Yes," the Dark Sect took over, "that's what he was told"

Renault watched them silently, he knew that Zeratul knew because of Tassadar, and that he was kept in the dark and that he was waiting for an explanation.

"If you are wiped out, so that the worms are left without supplies, then of course the answer is yes," the Dark Sect continued, "but Tassadar did not carry it out."

"None? So Marsala, Josala... ”

"That was all after he made sure that there was no trace of human life on it, and after that, he didn't carry out the order," Zeratul interrupted, "His noble spirit thought that it was not in accordance with his teachings, so he rebelled against the order, so he lost his position and came here alone with his guards, just to clean up the source of everything."

Reynaud and his men didn't know what to say, and when he first met them, they destroyed his ship, including the rescue pod and the people inside. However, what he heard at this moment shocked him that there were such great creatures in the world. He didn't think the other party would deceive him, it was clear that they were all very proud and noble Star Spirits.

If there were any hidden dangers in the hasty alliance before, now, when everything is explained, the entire alliance can be regarded as the first effect. Humans began to be less repulsive to the astral spirits around them, and there were even soldiers who deliberately came into contact with the astral spirits and discussed issues. The Star Spirits look cold, but they are very disciplined and cultivated, and they don't get bored.

Renaud often sat in on the discussions between the two chiefs, and the more he came into contact with them, the more he was attracted to these two equally noble fellows.

"I can sense that the energy you're using seems to be in contact with me, but there seems to be something blocking me," Tassadar wondered

Zeratul's tone was full of joy, "You feel it," he was happy, "It seems that the guidance of fate is right, this is the innate ability of all of our astral spirits, and it took me a long time to finally master it"

"Is it the ability to kill brain worms?" Renault interjected from the side

"Yes, this ability we call the power of the void, can effectively destroy the worm, using it, I successfully killed the brain worm, and cut off its connection with the master, so that the master can not resurrect it"

Renaud nodded, he knew that the Juggernaut had a contract with these brain worms and would resurrect them, and then, he said, "It seems that it has been confirmed that the Juggernaut came into contact with you at that time, and you also came into contact with the Juggernaut at that time."

Zeratu staggered when he heard this, although he had a premonition and had accepted it, but when the truth was true, he was still a little unbearable, "It's my fault, I betrayed my people, I... He looked sad

Tassadar stood up in Renault's surprised gaze, "No, it was indeed you who caused it", his hand on the other's shoulder, "But you are here to kill the brain worm, you don't want to expose the El, don't live in sadness and guilt" He raised his head, "Even if it weren't for this time, the Juggernaut would have been spying on us a long time ago, and he would always find the El"

"That's right, man, look away" Renault didn't know what to say

Zeratul opened his eyes and looked at Tasadar and Renaud with a little complexity, speechless.

"I have to do something for my people", the Templar looked at his hands, "please help me, I am not strong enough to cross the barrier of the starry sky"

"Then it will be the power of the two of us," the Dark Sect replied, his eyes unusually bright, "The psionic energy fluctuations generated by our combined efforts will inevitably be captured by your people in Kara."

The two of them held each other's hands, and the next moment, huge spiritual energy fluctuations rippled around them, and at the same time, the air around them fluctuated, as if something was beginning to appear。。。。。
