The frozen planet Blacksis is the veritable least inhabitable planet in the Koplu Sector. More than 60% of the rocky planet is covered in snow and ice, and the ice sheet in some areas is as thick as two miles. Thousands of years of glacial erosion have created a rugged and meandering ice-eroded mountain landscape with cliffs and deep valleys across the planet's surface. In these areas, gravity-induced downdrafts can often create winds in excess of 150 miles per hour.

Despite Blacksis' harsh natural conditions, the planet's history as a colony dates back to the golden age of astral expansion. When the Astral Spirits ventured to the outskirts of the Koplu Sector, they chose the barren planet as their first colony in the Sector and named it Kairaldo. Kairado became a symbol of the extraordinary achievements of the Star Spirit in the field of interstellar navigation. To this end, the Star Spirit deposited the Uraki Crystal, an artifact given by the Sarnagars, on the planet Kairado. But not long after, a violent psychic storm struck the planet. When the Astral Pioneers were forced to leave, the sacred Uraki Crystal was abandoned.

At this time, a Star Spirit ship and a Leviathan docked in the outer orbit of the frozen planet. Everyone looked at the frozen planet below, it was hard to imagine that this planet had witnessed the glorious period of the star spirits, and if it weren't for that spiritual storm, Zeratul's heart would be a little gloomy. They were practicing the power taught by Arden, but they refused to accept the Kara Way, and the violent power eroded their minds, uncontrollably creating a psychic storm that almost destroyed the El, although the El was spared by the timely response of the High Council, but the storm they generated lingered in the Koplu Star Zone for a long time, far away.

"Mentor, our ship has detected traces of human life underneath," Thrandis reported on the situation, "and there are no small amounts"

"Huh?" Artanis turned to look at Zeratul, "We have a fortress down there, right?" ”

"Yes, Keraldo Fortress, but it was abandoned a long time ago, and the Uraki Crystal was also inlaid there, and it is estimated that the newly discovered humans occupied our fortress"

"Do you need my help, Star Spirit?" , the Queen of Blades asked, her words teasing and teasing.

"No, we will take back the crystal that belongs to us from the hands of humans, and no one will try to stop it", Artanis suddenly became tough, and then, he glanced at Kerrigan casually, and when he met his gaze, Kerrigan inexplicably had a feeling of being seen through, "It's ridiculous!" She muttered to herself, perhaps the recent deliberate approach had made the Star Spirit forget her terrible.

"It's the basis of our collaboration, and besides, I want to see what you call the Uraki Crystal."

"Well, you win," Zeratul finally agreed to her request, "though, don't deliberately kill, this universe has shed too much blood"

"Hmph, your compassionate tone is ridiculous," Kerrigan scoffed insolently, "You should hope that those stupid humans don't attack us, and it's not my style to be beaten passively!" ”

"Alright, that's the end of the conversation, let's get our action going"

"Haha, humans of the Tyranid Empire, I'm here!"

An hour later, the surface of the planet Blacksis

"It's less than two kilometers from the Fortress of Kairado, and the humans haven't discovered us yet, but if we keep going, we'll run into their defensive ring."

"Zeratul, it seems that you and your men are needed" Atanis calmed down, "I will let the ship attack the base head-on, help you contain the enemy, destroy their defenses as much as possible, so that I will bring you reinforcements"

"I thought you'd let me in and steal it out," Zeratul made a rare joke

"Of course, I did," the young Templar continued, "but that's underestimating humanity, the Tyranid Empire has dealt with us after all, and I've heard Renault say that there is a kind of ghost agent who has similar abilities to you"

"Oh? I can't see it, I'm amazed by your erudition", the Queen of Blades heard the other party's words, and a look of surprise was written on her face, "I used to be a ghost agent, but we relied on our uniforms for stealth"

"Then let's get moving, Kerrigan, you're like us, attacking head-on"

"Okay, I can't wait"

The battle started quickly, in fact, Artanis overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Tyranid Empire left on this planet, although the capital Boraris did garrison the Imperial army, but this planet was not valued by the Empire, and there were no minerals needed by the Empire, so the military was relatively loose, and as for the Kairado Fortress of the Star Spirit, they only stationed a wing stationed there. When they found out that the Astral Spirit's troops were attacking, their idea was to resist a little, once the other party was resolute and Lima retreated, the other party's action of destroying the planet at every turn gave too much fear to the human race.

"It seems that things are much simpler than we expected," said Kerrigan, who seemed surprised by the speed of the human's escape

"It's good to be able to kill less" Atanis shared Zeratul's view

"Innocence, the law of life and death in the universe is the law of life and death, if you want to live, you have to be stronger than others", the Queen of Blades retorted excitedly, "Moreover, the killing created by your star spirits is no less than that of us alien insects, how many races have perished under your blades throughout the ages?" Maintainer of cosmic order? Her mocking tone mocked the Star Spirit.

Atanis didn't speak, just sighed inwardly. As a human in his previous life, although he was a star spirit in this life, his emotions towards humans are extremely complex. He was in pain and confusion when humanity faced his race's sword, but for the sake of that dark future, he had to forge ahead, and there was no way back.

"You're right", Zeratul actually admitted the other party's words, "but, we can't kill for the sake of killing, that way, it's no different from a beast"

"Now is not the time to argue about this," Kerrigan was surprised by the other party's honesty again, "find the crystal quickly, we don't have much time"

Crystals are placed in a crystal tower. In the energy field underground, the crystal is connected to the energy network that supplies the entire fortress base, but luckily the humans didn't carefully probe the fortress, or just thought it was an ordinary astral creation.

"It seems that this is it" Kerrigan looked at the crystal in front of him, the whole body was dark blue, the surface was no different from ordinary crystals, but there was a surging power in it, she could sense it.

"Creation is really mysterious", Zeratul sighed from the side, "I admit that you are a little different, maybe I have a misunderstanding of your opinion"

"Hehe, given my previous behavior, I understand your performance"

"Thrandis, come over with some probes, we need to collect this crystal" Artanis didn't pay attention to the conversation between them, here only he understands that the Queen of Blades is only using the star spirit, and will pounce fiercely to bite after it is useless, but now is not the time, who will use whom, maybe it is still unclear!

"Yes, Executive"
