Book V, 19: Ambush
Stemming from the Panneural Mind Network, the main nerve center of Protoss, Sylvais was able to easily find other Dark Templars.
They were now following a large group of human soldiers, intending to head down the cavern. Faintly, she could feel that there were many powerful beings in this group of human soldiers.
"It feels a lot like the two people below, and it's probably going to look for them."
Sylvais judged that she was well aware of the effects of the light emitted by the crystal building on other creatures, in fact, it was the pan-neural thinking network, the transmission medium embodied by the main nerve center Protoss, the nerve tentacles, and the vast amount of information would disturb the spiritual, electron transmission ability of any non-Protoss creature within its range. In other words, it is impossible for the two people who have just found the underground cave equipment to pass this message to it.
"In this case, if these people find the two of them, they will inevitably discover our secrets, those modified equipment."
Sylvais shared this concern with the other Dark Templars, and after some discussion, they decided to send a few men and Sylvais to rescue his sister Sylwell, while others made a disturbance to distract the soldiers and see if they could make contact with them.
"Without knowing their true purpose, it's not yet time for them to know what we really do." The Dark Templar Alfred, who had become their leader, admonished. There were far too few of them left on this planet, just about twenty Dark Templars, though they were confident that they would be able to deal with a hundredfold number of enemies. But the problem is that if one dies, there will be one less, and there is no doubt that they now have more important goals to do, and they cannot afford to lose any vitality and vitality.
But just as they began to act, almost all of them felt a kind of uneasy fluctuation in the sea of spirits.
"It's the Zerg!"
"They're coming!"
Even the newborn Dark Templars who had been here for a long time had not experienced a great battle with the Zerg, but the experience gained from the pan-neural thinking network, the main nerve center Protoss, made all the Dark Templars know that this is the brainworm ordering the nearby bugs through channels similar to their spiritual network, and that there is absolutely nothing wrong with that kind of violent and greedy spiritual touch.
"I found this planet so quickly!" Alfred said with a solemn expression, after changing the coordinates and pitting those human scientists into the territory of the Zerg, they were prepared that the Zerg would definitely follow this clue to find them. But they never imagined that these guys could be so fast.
"We have to change our actions. The process of contact can be advanced, and we need to lure them to the range where they can spot the Zerg, so that these people can prepare in advance, they may be important allies for us in the future. Can't let them lose too much. Alfred said here. Turning to Sylvis, he said. "You take someone to save Sylvia, and be careful not to act too aggressively, judging by the actions of these humans. The status of the following two people should not be simple. ”
He knew the character of the two sisters, Sylvis, and he was impulsive, and liked to do it when he thought of it, rather than thinking carefully about the consequences before acting. This pattern of behavior is more appropriate to be a fanatic than a Dark Templar who needs to cool his head.
"I'll be careful." Sylves said dissatisfiedly, if she hadn't been able to beat Al Fred, she would definitely let this guy know what happened to her.
There were three helpers assigned to Sylvais at the end, which made her feel a little better.
From the previous battle, Sylvais has found that the danger is mainly in the female, although the male's spell ability is good, whether it is the same invisible range attack ability, or the kind of flame that can scorch the soul has obvious effects, but it can only be regarded as the same level as an ordinary Templar, and the destructive power is even worse, at least the energy storm from the hands of the Templar is much stronger, and the main reason why he can force himself to retreat from the battlefield is that the other party took advantage of the environment at that time, Let their invisibility abilities be exposed, unable to do where the Dark Templars are truly powerful, assassination without a trace.
But now it's different, with three helpers, a four-person hunting team can avoid the above.
Even if they could keep an eye on one, the threat of assassination at any time while the other was hidden next to them could make the two humans dare not attack casually, and most of their energy had to guard against the warped light blade that could slash them somewhere at any time.
"So you just need to entangle that female, she is characterized by her strong strength and terrifying reaction speed, there is almost no interval between hesitation and thinking of normal creatures, so her attack frequency will be faster than you feel, this needs to be noted, but as long as we can hold her back, the two of us can deal with that male first." Sylvais said as she walked, gesturing in the middle of each sentence what she wanted to say.
However, the Dark Templars, who were his helpers, strongly questioned Silves' arrangement.
"Sylvis, can you please not use the word female, it will make others feel that they are being looked down upon."
"That's right, we're here to make contact, and rescuing Sylvia is just an incidental purpose, not here to help you get revenge."
"What we need is normal communication with the other party, and you don't do what Lord Alfred has told you at all."
Compared to the unreliable Sylvis, they obviously have their own ideas, and they are in the majority.
"First, you have obviously forgotten the pride and glory of being a Protoss, second, any communication needs to be based on the cooperation of the other party, and force is the fastest way to make the other party cooperateThird, before saying this, you need to carefully recall that our move to stay here did not ask for the consent of the Dark Council." Sylves said dismissively, and like her character, the answer was extremely aggressive.
"You're quibbling." Facing the strong Silves, the three helpers said weakly. In fact, neither they nor the Dark Council had anything to do with the sisters.
Because there are few thinking duos in the Protoss, they are generally born as a single volitional body, which ensures that each Protoss is independent in the pan-neural thinking network, the main nerve center Protoss, and will not be assimilated by the common mind. If it is a twin, one of them will assimilate the other before it is born. But accidents are not impossible, if before the assimilation process is completed, one of the individual's thinking attributes is slightly different because of the rare probability of accidents. Then both will survive at the same time.
This kind of thing arises. It is a very surprising existence for the Protoss.
They will have a special ability, the stacking effect. If the strength of ordinary Protoss is counted as 1, then they can apply the thinking ability of the two to one person by borrowing the role of the pan-neural thinking network, the main nerve center Protoss. I play close to 2 strength. And it's not a fixed process. Rather, it can change between the two at any time. Their super-fast thinking speed allows them to look like two individuals who are infinitely close to 2.
Therefore, they are considered to be the best hope among the Dark Templars, and in the future, there are still two of the most favorable candidates to compete for the Dark Archon in the Dark Council.
"Needless to say. Anyway, you can all listen to me, otherwise I'll go alone, and being captured anyway can be regarded as a kind of contact. Sylvais said willfully.
In this way, the three helpers had no choice but to do what Sylvais thought and help her get back into the field.
It didn't take long for the four Dark Templars to arrive in front of the protective shield that was running the equipment.
"Try to disturb them first, and then take the opportunity to take Sylvia away, anyway, she is invisible, as long as she is placed in one place, it will be difficult for them to detect her existence, and we can safely deal with those two humans." Sylves was not confused by the feelings in his heart, and quickly explained his tactics before entering.
As the best assassins, they don't have to worry about whether they will be discovered if they infiltrate, not to mention that this is the building they built.
But inside, they strangely didn't notice the existence of the two humans, Sylvia didn't have anything to do, she hadn't woken up yet, she was casually placed on the ground in the middle, it seemed that the two people didn't take such a powerful Dark Templar as a thing at all, as long as Sylvia woke up herself, she could go back casually.
"It's weird, let's not act rashly, let's take a look at the situation in the neighborhood first." Sylvais reminds through the pan-neural thinking network, the main nerve center Protoss.
Obviously, the above kind of thing will definitely not happen, the two people who have just been attacked magnanimously let go of the sneak attacker who does not know the details, and then the two sides who have cleared up the misunderstanding, cordially and amicably, began to meet, exchanged views on the Zerg issue, and issued a statement, emphasizing their side's desire for peace and rejection of violence, this is definitely a plot that those who are so bored that they always like YY, a god clan in the world, can not guess.
Therefore, the four of them did not dare to step forward and take Sylvia away easily, but stayed cautiously a little farther away, observing the surrounding environment, in case this was a trap set by the two humans.
"The surrounding ground has been tampered with, there are traces of digging, the surface is a layer of fresh soil, and the turf is a little loose"
"There is also a problem with the hollowed-out beams above, and you can see the refraction of some shadows coming through some hidden places, and it feels like something has been put or something is lurking"
As dangerous hunters, the Dark Templars not only have strong melee combat abilities and permanent stealth skills, but also the rich experience they have gained from the pan-neural thinking network, the main nerve center Protoss, which is also an important reason why they are powerful, and it is really wishful thinking that such a small trap wants to trap them.
"It looks like they're treating us like beasts, trying to overshadow the mighty Dark Templar with some obvious trap." Sylvais sneered.
"Let me see what they've put in there."
As he spoke, Sylvais tossed a slightly heavier piece of device from nearby, and the ground sank, and a large number of colorful spores emerged from that position, loosely forming a mass floating nearby, and it was obvious that if they accidentally stepped on it, they would be attached to these spores. It became like the disadvantage she had to escape from before, and the ability to become completely invisible was offset by the targeting.
"It's really uncreative." Sylvia said disdainfully, at this time, I am afraid that the two humans are hiding somewhere above, looking at an object in horror, the void is picked up by herself, and then thrown out of the coffin, breaking the camouflage on the ground to discover the trap they have laid.
"Indeed, it is estimated that we are deceived by the trophies we have above, and think that we belong to the kind of simple-minded intelligent creatures, and our habits are still in the primitive stage of society. But we don't know that it's just a tradition that we follow. The other three laughed too. The cover covering his face could not hide the mockery in the slightest.
"It's time to show our graceful footsteps, Piero, and show them the foundations on which the Dark Templars can invade any critical place, and then bring my sister out." Sylves instructed one of the helpers. According to the traces of the new cover of these soil layers. They were able to find a safe route in. Let alone. Using their ghostly powers, they are able to change their weight in gravity at will, and this trap is useless to them.
"It's good. Lord Sylvis. ”
Piero received the command, nodded and stepped forward, if the effect of invisibility is removed, you can see that as he gets closer to the position of the trap, the force of his stepping on the grass becomes more and more slight, and the back is like floating on it, but the movement has no effect, this is the basis for the extraordinary ability that the ghost energy gives the Dark Templar to infiltrate anywhere without a sound.
Before Piero could get close to his sister Sylvia, Sylvais had already heard movement from above, and there were traces of chaos coming from the hollowed-out beam.
"It looks like they're going to escape, I have to say it's a very cautious approach, after seeing us find these traps, don't hold out any hope even if there is no other movement, and resolutely retreat, but do you think you can escape, in front of the Dark Templars, but no creature can escape their pursuit and hunt." Sylves shook his head and mocked.
Without looking, she could construct a picture in her mind, two humanoid silhouettes representing them on the hollowed-out beam, and evacuated in a panic. This is another powerful place for the Dark Templars, who can sense signs of object activity from a distance, and through the ubiquitous distribution of spectral energy in the universe, they can detect the presence and location of other living creatures far in advance, so that they have enough time to make plans.
Soon, however, all the Dark Templars realized that something was wrong, and not only was the sound moving louder and louder, but the range of traces of activity sensed from above was unprecedentedly large, as if a continuous massive object was rushing down, covering everything below.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Sylvais jerked his head up, and then he saw a large amount of lead-white liquid pouring down like a waterfall, and countless hollow beams were flooded with this liquid, which could not stop them from falling.
"Bastard, you actually adjusted the excretion channel of the device!"
Sylvais screamed in anger, and all the Dark Templars reacted that if they were attached to the liquid, they would lose the ability they were most proud of, the ability to become completely invisible, and worst of all, it would be a very long time, and they would have to return to the place where the device was in place before they could remove the solidified metal from their bodies.
However, based on the perceived area of the fluid, Sylvais immediately judged that it was impossible for them to escape before they were drenched.
Seeing this situation, Sylvais said decisively: "We don't have to run anymore, the best thing to do now is to take my sister out, don't let her drown, and then don't scatter, fight with them together, I don't believe that the four of us can't beat the two of them." ”
A huge amount of lead-white liquid fell from the sky, quickly covering most of the inside of the device, and this was not a short period of time, but a continuous pouring, after changing the flow channel of discharge, these lead-white liquid could only be vented after filling the inside of the device first.
In front of the five fully exposed Templars, they smashed straight into the metal liquid that was already not low, and the lead-white waves that set off sprayed them all over their heads, looking very embarrassed.
The two are different, thanks to the tentacle monster's powerful all-terrain adaptability, the two are standing in the hands of the invisible and qualitative telekinesis, seemingly surrounded by liquid, but in fact, there is no substantial contact at all.
"Hey, welcome back, this is the battlefield I have mapped out for you." Chen Xi greeted enthusiastically, and he didn't know if they understood it.
"Male, you have succeeded in provoking the wrath of a proud Dark Templar, and this must be counteracted with your blood." From the human memories obtained, Sylves knew how to speak a similar language, but only this time did she actually say it, because she was angry now.
Curved blades that shimmered with a faint light appeared from the tip of Sylvais's arm, and like her cold voice, the two scimitars had already rushed towards them with a roar that cut through the air.
"Yes, but I don't think so."
Chen Xi replied indifferently, and then nodded at An Yumo.
I saw An Yumo bend down and put her palm into the lead-white liquid surrounding, and the next moment, something that frightened Silves happened, her ability to move, which had been slowed down a lot, slowed down again, and the surrounding metal liquid seemed to have vitality, producing a huge obstructive force, as if solidifying.
Sylvais was horrified to find that his body was already unable to move an inch after only half the distance, and then looked at the three people behind him, just like himself, surrounded by the surrounding metal liquid, moving like snails.
"As you feel now, I give you two choices, one is to surrender immediately, and the other is to be beaten by us to surrender in the next time."
Chen Xi said in a malicious voice, he was more inclined to choose the latter one from the other party. (To be continued......)
