Chapter 7 Sabre-rattling
"The crystals are here, I think we can get out of here," Kerrigan urged
"Don't bother, I understand what we have to do" Artanis interrupted, "Thrandis, activate the twist jump, snap everyone back to the ship"
"Yes, Executive, ten seconds countdown ready... Three-two-one, the beginning of the leap"
With a flash of a curtain of light, everyone disappeared in place, and the ancient Star Spirit Colonial Fortress regained its calm.
Atanis looked at the crystal in front of him with relief, it was only the size of a palm, and its divine light was restrained, but it contained terrifying purifying spiritual energy, "It seems that my understanding of spiritual energy was still very one-sided", he muttered to himself.
"Indeed, creation is wonderful," Zeratul said approvingly, "and it seems that we need to rediscover our own power."
"So, who taught us the power of the Kedarin Crystals, it feels as if they are weakened Uraki", the young Templar began to doubt his race's energy inheritance for the first time
"It should be the cast, the creator of Kara", Zeratul said uncertainly, "but as if he appeared out of nowhere, at the end of the catastrophe, he claimed to have found the treasure of Sarnagar, and then through the Kedarin Crystal, he re-established the psychic link of the star spirits, thus creating and perfecting the way of Kara"
"Yes, you're right, but beyond that, we don't know anything about where he ended up and where he came from"
"It seems that things are not so simple, there seems to be some invisible force behind this that is pushing the star spirit towards the unknown future", the dark sect leader showed a solemn expression for the first time.
"Hey, I said, aren't you worrying too much", Kerrigan couldn't get used to their godly babbling words, "let's not worry about what we don't have now, let's find another crystal, shall we?" I.... ”
"Executive! Our sensors have just discovered a large number of human ships. However, their identification profile is different from any other human organization they have encountered before. Thrandis's debriefing interrupted the Queen of Blades' next words, and tensioned the atmosphere.
"Unknown? Could it be that there are other human organizations in this universe? That's not good", the Dark Sect Leader couldn't make out the expression on his somewhat old face
"In fact, we received a communication from the flagship of this fleet, and its name was Alexander"
"So, let's see what they have to say?"
The communication was connected, and Stukov, dressed in a black and gold-rimmed military uniform, appeared in the frame, "Commander of the Star Spirit, I'm Lieutenant General Stukov of the United Earth Council. We have come from far away Earth to take control of the Tyranid Empire and all of its colonies. You have directly violated the star fields of the Tyranid Empire, and you have openly attacked the human forces. Disarm your shields and shut down your weapons systems, and the Council must seize your ships, including all the loot you have taken from this planet. The words were arrogant and dismissive of the force of the Star Spirit.
"Hmph, I'm actually being underestimated," Kerry looked at the two Star Spirit Commanders with a smirk
"United Earth Council? Renault seems to have said that the oldest and most distant home of human beings is called the earth, and these human beings have come thousands of miles to this universe to wage war with us? Zeratul frowned and recalled, "It's crazy"
"Hold fast to your faith, Dark Templar! It sounds like you're scared of these humans. On what basis do they compare with us? Didn't we just defeat the Lord of Terror? "Thrandis has always resisted the so-called Dark Templars, which is a common problem for many Kara Spirits at the moment, and they have Kara and make their minds one, which makes them always regard Naira and her mother as an outsider. Although the camaraderie of battle has eased some of their contradictions, the difference between faith and belief remains.
"It seems that this problem needs to be solved" Artanis looked at the two partners, but he knew that the biggest obstacle between the two was Kara's presence, and this was undoubtedly the most tricky.
"Yes, Thrandis, we have destroyed the Juggernaut," Artanis, agreeing with his disciple's words, "but that is with the help of humans. And don't forget our friends Renault and his Rangers, who are just as powerful. Don't start despising humanity so quickly"
"However, the glory of the star spirit is not to be desecrated," he said, "let me personally lead the team to probe it, find a way for us to break through, and by the way, see if the human has enough confidence in those words"
"Executive, the surrounding area is blocked by the energy network, if we want to break through, we need to open this psionic network at the same time," Thrandis said beside him
"Psionic Network?" Kerrigan turned to look at Artanis, "Do you need my help?" "Come and beg me with it written on your face, the intention is so obvious.
"I don't need you to do this, I can do it", the Dark Sect stepped forward, "Artanis, I'll destroy those flying platforms with energy launchers while you attract firepower to open the passages"
"Okay, I'll also inform Renault and let them be ready to answer at any time"
"So, let these arrogant guys see the wrath of the star spirits."
"Cut, it's really boring", Kerrigan complained on the sidelines
United Earth Council Expeditionary Force, flagship USS Alexander
"Are you sure we're going to shoot the Star Spirit right away?" Admiral Dugar smoked a cigarette and said to someone who was looking at the star map next to him, "Could there be any problems?" "I almost wrote the question of whether I could beat the other party on my face
"Hey, sir, this is not like you" Hearing the words, Stukov replied with a slight exaggeration, "I thought that if it were yours, I would directly let the other party judge itself", after seeing the other party's serious expression, "Okay, okay, we don't know anything about the combat power of our team's star spirits, only what we know is the two cannons they put in the Sara system and the Antiga system, and we don't know their combat ability and skills."
"So, you want to observe the strength of the other party through this hasty exchange?" Dugar suddenly said, "But once we get away with it... ”
"Hey, did the long hibernation flight make your brain stupid?" Stukov's lips did not spare the other party in the slightest, "We are just a tentative attack, and if the situation is not right, we can carry out a send-off pursuit"
"You!" Dugar wanted to put on the prestige of his boss, but the other party didn't care about it, which made him smile awkwardly, "Good plan, however, we have to create an energy field" Dugar finally showed his outstanding talent in a hundred battles, "If they can break it, then they are lucky, but if they can't break it, then, there is no need to exist", he turned to look at his adjutant, "If you want to test it, you must act like it, if you don't show some real skills, it will be useless, let our fleet be like the other party oppressive, Squeeze their formation and space"
"Yes, sir", Stukov knew, Dugar, who was serious, was undoubtedly terrible, as previous enemies had demonstrated, and this time, it was no exception.
