Chapter Twenty-Seven: Recuperation

The sacrificed soldiers were eventually cremated, which not only made it more efficient, but also prevented the Heroic Spirits from being disturbed by bugs after the sacrifice.

The warriors of the Protoss are on the lookout for possible movements around them.

Not only was Cade a brilliant officer, but Reynaud remembered that he was once a priest and asked him to say a short prayer in front of these departed heroes. Next, all the members of the rangers, such as the Alpha team, began to redistribute their weapons and equipment.

Renault nodded at Frank, who looked at Tasada, "We're ready to go!" He sued him. Tassada in the distance nodded, and the Protoss warriors each whispered slightly, and as usual, the Templars and Dark Templars were still divided into two teams, and they were grouped together. However, the human troops are in the center of those Protoss warriors, separating the two Protoss troops, and the picture always has a strange taste of discord.

With Renault's order, all the members of the Ranger began to move.

The team is moving forward. Cynthia walked over to Frank.

"Where are we going?" She asked, he saw him with the Protoss troops, and Cynthia felt he should know.

"I don't know very well, but I'll know when I go, and that's what they told me." Frank shrugged and said it didn't matter. "It's a long way to go, but before we do that, we need to find a safe place to camp." He went on to add.

"I hope you're right, but there's no safe place on this planet, and the only safe place to do so is the 'Trench of the Dead'. In fact, I don't think it's a wise choice to go with the Protoss? The bugs are clearly going for them, and we're just asking for trouble. She said.

"Yes! Commander, why do we have to ally with them again? Cade, the black man, suddenly caught up with them, and the human troops were running with the sound of armor rubbing. However, the two waves of Protoss warriors beside them were like ghosts, and they didn't even make any sound when they moved forward quickly, which made them feel inexplicably uneasy, and being with this group of aliens made them feel a great sense of pressure.

"I think it's better for us to go it alone and let the bugs continue to get into trouble with them." Cade said again.

At this time, Reynolds came over, they gathered most of the human command class here, Renault shook his head when he heard this, he said: "Maybe you were right before, but now it's different, the bugs didn't care much about us before. We were dispensable in their eyes, but now we are also targeted. ”

"So we have to concentrate." Frank continued, looking directly at Cynthia beside him and said, "The enemy of our enemy is our friend, and now we are all in the same situation, and we can only hope to survive if we concentrate our strength, and besides, we need them to give us a ride if we want to get out of here." He withdrew his gaze and then looked at Cade, "I'm not asking you to like them. Just treat them as allies. He added: "At least it's better than Duke's kind of patting his ass and walking away without even caring about the life and death of his own people!" As he spoke, he glanced at the charming figure beside him, and apparently, her delicate body trembled visibly at the hearing of his words. However, her endurance was excellent and she didn't make any indications.

Renault suddenly turned Frankla to the side, his eyes were very unkind, and he whispered, "Listen." Buddy! You're in big trouble with you, you have to deal with that woman, and those 2,000 people have to join the Rangers. If it weren't for the woman you brought back, there would have been only Renault Rangers here, not a goddamn Alpha team now. ”

"Why is it on me? Is it wrong for me to save people? If you want to say that you are to blame for your bad work, otherwise how could she have a chance? Frank immediately argued, and responded to him.

"Who would have thought that a little girl who looks so smart would have such great ability?" Renault said vaguely.

Frank: "Don't underestimate women, or you'll be miserable!" Buddy! For example, how long have I been out now? That's what happened? ”

"Anyway, you're going to have to deal with that woman, there's no denying that she's very talented, and it would be nice if she could join us. That's it, this is the first time I've given you a mission, deputy commander, this is an order. After speaking, Renault left in style.

Frank froze for a few seconds, "That's not fair!" ”

This contingent of Protoss and human forces traveled through the mountains of Char for four hours without stopping, passing through plains, craters and basins, and now weaving through the narrow corridors between the two peaks, forming a long dragon in them.

As dusk approached, the team finally stopped advancing, and they camped in a canyon area, where the king bugs of the terrain were difficult to find, and the entrance and exit were narrow, so even if the insect swarm attacked, it was the best place to camp.

"Obviously!" Frank looked around and the troops had stopped to recuperate, and as he walked, he said, "We're here tonight with Cade!" He shouted.

"Sir! What are the commands? Black Cade soon came to him.

"Lieutenant. Send out some vigilant teams to stand guard at the west and southeast intersections, and set up one on the top of the mountain, to keep an eye out for the insects in the sky, especially their king insects. Frank frowned, looked around, and then looked up at the top of the mountain, and said.

"Understood! Sir! Cade saluted, then stepped back and began to prepare.

Frank nodded, and as Cade left, he pointed to the wireless communication device on his ear with one hand, and he walked back and forth in place, "Attention, units. The whole crew immediately rested, but not too relaxed, ate some food, filled their stomachs and had a good night's sleep. ”

"Linda! How much ammunition and supplies do we have left? He then contacted Linda on a private line. The other party quickly responded, "One rifle per person, 300 bullets per person, ten bombs per person, that's all." ”

The Rangers are lightly armed, and the less mobile combat units such as heavy firepower siege tanks have all been abandoned, and there are only pure biochemical units in the team, although the mobility has been greatly improved. But it also greatly weakened their firepower, but according to the current form, they could only be forced to do so.

He soon got to work as well, setting up makeshift tents with some of the soldiers, and when the work was done, the soldiers began to eat a quick meal, but Frank didn't need enough food, he could take in dark energy from the void to replenish his depleted energy.

At this moment, Renault and Cade and Linda discuss their next steps, and Frank is quickly drawn into it.

"Commander. We can only be with them now, just like the little brother? Linda glanced at the Protoss who were sitting like wooden carvings and whispered.

"yes, that's pretty much it, we have to take their boat to get out of here, it's a little aggrieved, but there's really no way." Frank replied with a smile.

Renaud closed a sip of water and said, "It's not too bad, now we are in alliance with the Protoss." The combat effectiveness is now at least tripled. That's good news, but there's also bad news, they don't seem to be friendly with each other and they're throwing us aside. ”

"Indeed!" Frank admitted. "There are some internal problems between them, after all, they are not a faction, just understand it this way. So," Frank added with a smile, "so we don't expect to have a meal with the Protoss and have a happy pie." This last sentence couldn't help but provoke a burst of laughter from everyone.

"So what do we do next?" After laughing, Cade asked.

"I don't know!" Renault admitted. He shook his head, "I don't know what the hell those guys are thinking. ”

"For now, we will only be forced to follow the Protoss. The main purpose of a qiē is to leave the planet. But for now, get some rest! Many of our personnel are seriously injured, this is a good place to camp, we will rest here for a few days, and when our brothers are better on their way, it should not be a problem to delay for a day or two. Frank said.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and they stayed here for two days and did nothing. In the past two days, they have not encountered the Zerg, the concealment here is very good, and the main reason for staying here for two days is that many of the Rangers are seriously injured, and the team cannot advance quickly, and in these two days, the seriously injured personnel within the Rangers have recovered very well because they have not worked hard, and it is estimated that the team will be able to continue to act as long as it takes another day. As for the rest of the soldiers, they were a little bored, they couldn't stay here and couldn't make loud noises, and many of them were bored and in a daze. Some people fiddled with their combat armor's sensors, but many more people played a classic card game called Hearthstone. Others were squatting on the ground carving stones, and many were staring at the aliens beside them, all with wary eyes. The eyes of these aliens are shining, they have no mouth, no nose, and long jaws, this qiē looks quite interesting, they are all excellent warriors, the rangers have seen these aliens fight, and their evaluation is that these people are simply a group of reckless men, and they do not hesitate to kill themselves in the swarm The scene is very impressive.

On the third day, they were still like that. But it wasn't until noon that things changed. The Rangers were supposed to do what they were supposed to do, but all the Protoss troops suddenly got up, and Tasada and Zeratul walked together towards the western junction.

"What's wrong?" Renault asked. The Rangers had swept away their previous laziness, and everyone was on guard.

"I don't know! I'll go take a look. Frank said, and ran in the direction of Tasada.

"What's going on?" Frank caught up with the two of them and asked.

"We have to shift." Tasada explained to him, "The Insect Force is approaching us"

Frank nodded, then communicated to Renault, "Jim! Get everyone ready to go, the bugs are closing in here, and we have to move. ”

"We shouldn't be so reactive, we have to do something necessary." After the end of the communication, Frank said to the two Protoss leaders: "At the very least, we should reduce their numbers, this is not a solution, we should concentrate our superior forces and kill them every time, more times, they will not pose much of a threat to us." ”

"I'm for it!" Zeratul thought for a moment before speaking, "Our current forces and the main force of the Worms have no chance of winning a head-to-head battle, but we can destroy the small forces that they scattered to find us, and we Dark Templars are the best choice. ”

"You want to fight?" Tasada looked at him and frowned.

Zeratul nodded, "I'll stay with you, my brother." And my men, they can infiltrate the enemy's forces as they please, they can wreak havoc on our enemies, and create chaos for the deployment of the Queen of Blades. ”

Tassada looked at him in surprise and curiosity, "The Dark Templars I know are cowardly and honorless incompetents, but none of you are. I will reassess my opinion of you and your people through guò. ”

"When you are looking for answers, the answers are also looking for you, and the rational mind will do its best to find the right answer for itself. And a rational mind is better than copying other people's opinions. Zeratul said.

"I'm sorry, I really don't want to disturb you two, but now that the insects are closing in on us, we might as well retreat first." Frank couldn't help but interject at this point. The two Protoss leaders looked sideways at the same time.

"I think it's a good place for an ambush, the road isn't very open, and the swarm can't spread out their entrapment formation here, we can eat them here and choose to evacuate." Frank built yì road. Kelly Gen's search for them all over the world doesn't bring all the Swarm troops together, and the Swarm troops they encounter are not their main force.

"It's adventurous! But it's worth a try! Tasada thought for a moment, then nodded slightly. Zeratul didn't have an opinion either. Eventually, the Protoss and humans hid beneath the rocks on either side of the canyon, and the Dark Templars had the advantage of having this advantage, disappearing without a trace, invisible even from their stands. Half an hour later, the hissing and roaring of insects reached everyone's ears, and the soldiers couldn't help but clench their weapons again and again, and without an order, everyone dared not make a sound.

This swarm force is completely composed of ground troops, there is no Zerg air force overhead, only a few king insects dangling in the sky, but this ground force is still not to be underestimated, there are stinging snakes and jumping insects that have been strengthened many times, as well as thunder beasts. However, the narrow canyon is what traps these big creatures outside, and only the troops of jumping worms and stinging snakes enter the inside. This gives the humans and Protoss forces hidden in the shadows very confident that they will eat them.

They didn't do it right away, they were waiting, waiting for an opportunity, a chance to wipe out all the troops of these bugs with minimal attrition.

The battle is on the verge of breaking out. The warriors of the three sides attacked at the same time as the horns sounded, and the Templars of the Protoss swung their energy blades into the swarm, while the human forces on both sides of the canyon, the electromagnetic rifles in the hands of those soldiers roared, and the sides of the canyon flashed with fire, and the sound of gunfire filled the entire canyon, and the bullet casings fell on the rocks and clanged. While the hidden Dark Templars had already cut off the Bugs' retreat, Zeratul sent his men to deal with the Thunderbeasts outside.

The battle lasted less than ten minutes before it ended, and the canyon was littered with the corpses of bugs.

"Well done!" Frank smiled and patted a soldier's armor, and he quickly joined up with Renault, "Kellygan must be hurrying this way, it's time to get out of here." ”

"Agreed!" Renaud fiddled with the electromagnetic rifle in his hand, "It's not that bad to work with Protoss, is it?" Renault grinned and laughed.

Frank laughed, "Indeed! Maybe we'll have a lot of cooperation with the Protoss. "At the same time, he put on a clip, which was his last. (To be continued......)
