In my opinion, I've built the most flamboyant mage unit in history—bar none.
Have you ever seen a blood elf mage wearing power armor all over his body, spraying plasma tail flames flying all over the sky at supersonic speed and setting off a blizzard
Have you ever seen a Gandalf-type old man with a head of vicissitudes of white hair, a white beard on the chin reaching to the third rib, and every crease on his face revealing a sense of wisdom and knowledge? Inside, with half a cigar in its mouth, babbling indistinctly while channeling Arcane Missiles
… Master Victor, you have fallen.
In the process of using Zerg samples for actual combat exercises, we have been convinced that these mages mobilized by Azeroth can indeed play a very good role in fighting Zerg, although their magic power is not as good as that of Ravens. It is a BT-level magic god, but it can also cause various gynecological diseases such as endocrine disorders of the Zerg... cough, cough, and other fatal injuries. In the background of StarCraft, the extremely fierce Zerg is so unbearable under the special energy attack of another world. Hit, it's really surprising.
Of course, although the mage army can be used as a new force, it is definitely not the main force. This is an interstellar battlefield, and our enemies are insect swarms with units of billions. They can't act as the main force, and more importantly, the mages' attacks are only effective against the Zerg. As for dealing with other races in this star area...
I don't think the native mages from Azeroth can compete with the advanced weapons of interstellar civilization.
The real protagonist of the battle is our warship.
Naturally, the human mages are well aware of this, and they have not shown any dissatisfaction. On the "battlefield of the gods", they have never expected to become a combat force from the very beginning, they just stand in this magnificent foreign land Among them, being able to fight side by side with the gods has already made these outsiders who grew up in the flames of war and worshiped various hero legends extremely excited.
"We're going to be epic."
The old mage Victor, who was smoking a cigar, said so before pulling off his mask coolly.
Once again, Mr. Victor, you have fallen.
During the few days when these mage troops were undergoing emergency training, Renault had been in a semi-chaotic state. Magic, this kind of thing had disappeared in the human legends of StarCraft for countless years, and they had long since forgotten about it when they took the technological route. This mysterious art that has fascinated countless people, and now he actually witnessed a living mage troop releasing that gorgeous magic in front of him, which surprised many staunch materialists under Renault.
Even Renault himself is no exception.
I didn't waste time to let him understand the ins and outs of everything, but simply said two points to him: "First, magic does not exist in this universe. As a native creature of this universe, unless there is a miracle (such as When you come across the Xiling apostle who came out to make soy sauce or the Dingdang children's shoes who visited privately in Weifu), you can never expect to learn magic in your life. Second, the powerful Xiling Empire includes other worlds, and the mages you see are all The army from another universe, they are the vassal race of Xiling Empire."
Then Renault and his good friends were collectively horrified.
The leader of this batch of mage troops is naturally Jaina. After a few days of emergency training, she and her soldiers are almost familiar with the unfamiliar battlefield and enemies here. Well, there is also that body that can make every goblin directly excited. The self-exploding magic armor, of course, the power armor used by Jaina herself is a specially designed improved type, this "captain machine" that costs twice as much as ordinary power armor has a close-fitting streamlined line, basically using the armor of the federal ghost agent Inspiration (still the game nerd’s idea of Bubbles), after wearing it, it will definitely not produce the bulky feeling of conventional power armor—although the majority of male mages have said that only half-ton large power armor is the romance of men, but they like elegance. Aesthetic women naturally prefer this kind of close-fitting light armor.
However, there are pros and cons to everything. The lightness of the armor itself makes the protective ability of the improved power armor far inferior to that of the general-purpose type. Although its performance is still enough for Victor to overthrow a reinforced company of the Federal Marine Corps with his bare hands, it still limits its applicability. Range, because it takes a lot of energy load to strengthen the psionic shield of the armor itself to make up for the lack of physical armor. The magic power amplification effect of this improved power armor is always not satisfactory, so it is set for the head. : As the leader of the Azeroth front army, Jaina doesn't have many opportunities to go to the battlefield in person, and even a slightly inferior magic power amplification device can be ignored when supplemented by Jaina's own powerful strength.
"Mages of all races have mastered the tricks of using this magical armor to assist in combat. It is just like what you said, it is as worry-free as a piece of clothing," Jaina and I walked side by side in the temporary city of General In the mage area that was opened up, he reported to me the training of the mages, "We are now learning to adapt to the radar system and various locking images on the mask. Although that thing is convenient, it always makes some older mages at a loss. .”
This is inevitable. Although a series of advanced equipment installed on the power armor for the convenience of long-distance combat has been upgraded to a fully intelligent type by Tavel, those natives from other worlds who have never used high-tech have to get used to every enemy's head. The distance information marked accurate to millimeters still needs a running-in period.
"And then? Are there any more questions?"
I asked in detail, after all, this batch of powered armor was designed in one day as a test product. No matter how careful Tavel is, she is also an apostle of the spirit. Insufficient understanding of carbon-based life may make her results flawed. .
Like accidentally forgetting about the oxygen supply... Uh, that shouldn't happen, right
"Everything else is okay, but there are..." Jaina said with some embarrassment, "The first is that the elves, including night elves and blood elves, think that there is a problem with the design of the helmet of the power armor, and their ears are curled inside. It will feel very uncomfortable when it grows. The second is gnomes and dwarves. Although the control of the armor is not a problem, it is a bit embarrassing for them to put a bunch of things under it every time they put on the armor. The third is the tauren shaman and mage. ... They are too big, and the horns on their heads require special helmets. In addition, there are often tauren hooves that get stuck in the armor. Thrall and Kane contacted me yesterday evening. The next batch of mage troops will mainly be There are a lot of tauren shamans in the Thunder Bluff front, so we'd better prepare some oversized armor for them."
Me: "...I'll let Bubble add a production line..."
To be honest, just now I don’t know why I suddenly thought of designing a set of tauren machine gunner armor.
Seven days have passed since the swarm collapsed.
The detection of the adjacent galaxy has been completed long ago. I originally planned to use EP-03 to solve the problem, but this time the situation seems not so simple. According to the pictures sent back by the probe, there are traces of intelligent life everywhere on that planet , although they have been covered by the secretions of the bugs and turned into pitted wreckage, some of the tall buildings can still be clearly distinguished. From the protoss.
I have always been very interested in this mysterious race, but the stubbornness of the other party made me feel that it would be quite troublesome to find them directly for cooperation and development. Now I just found an abandoned colonial star of the other party. The planet is sliced, so I'm sorry for the more than 100 scientific research ships I brought
Qianqian and I, together with Lilina, the most unreliable trio in the empire, personally led three Eternal-class motherships that had just been reassembled and 10,000 frigates of various types to this planet we call Pimple Star (Qianqian, this girl) According to the painful name given to the countless nests dug out by the Zerg on its surface), this scouting and extermination mission will be completed by us, of course, this is not to say that the three of us are the most suitable professionals for this high-end mission , but instead...
The three of us are the most idle guys in the entire Black Egg Star Base Camp right now...
Even my elder sister can serve as a think tank, and little lunatics like Pandora and Viska can be in charge of army expansion and training, but I actually want to fight with Qianqian, a crazy girl who thinks all day long, and Lilina, an unreliable girl. The priestess with a poisonous tongue is classified as a trio of idlers, who can only come out to take on the most unskilled sweeping work. Life is really like the mellow West Lake Longjing. Even if you are worth ten thousand and eighty-one catties, you are destined to be soaked in In the cup...
Although we have brought a huge fleet of 10,000 frigates, the main combat force of our operation is the landing force. Vega finally found her chance to show her skills. The star landing battle and various search and infiltration operations are important The armored scorpions are good at it, especially when dealing with enemies with a large number of melee units like the Zerg. In the original words of these combat-loving scorpions, it is: valuable targets that can make you kill cool, both in quantity and quality are satisfactory.
In melee combat, a well-trained scorpion can completely defeat tens of thousands of Zerg "puppies". Even if the Zerg evolves for tens of thousands of years, it is impossible to withstand the simultaneous thousands of slashes using the space folding technology. These scorpions It will destroy the melee troops of the Zerg in the shortest time and be responsible for breaking through the enemy's fortifications, paving the way for the follow-up troops.
The other part of the ground force is composed of mages. We mixed ravens and human mages. One raven led a hundred human mages to form a long-range slaughter troop dedicated to Zerg. The first batch of mages from Azeroth A total of ten such teams have been formed. Under the cover of armored scorpions, they will clean up every Protos ruins, and then let our inspection team land safely.
Except for these powerful teams that can be called special forces, the largest number is naturally the general battle sequence composed of regular Xiling soldiers, light vehicles, and individual fighters. These experienced veterans are divided into hundreds of people with different numbers The team was sent to those areas that are not very important but still have certain scouting value. Unmanned detection planes have landed near those locations to ensure the safety of the landing process: Although Xiling's army is strong and fearless, I don't like to let One's own soldiers make indifferent sacrifices.
After some preparatory work, all the landing troops entered the micro-jump landing capsule carrying them, and began to march towards the entire Pimple Star (… ).
A mechanically synthesized female voice resounded through the bridge: "The planetary landing module has entered the launch state, and the transmission coordinates have been corrected to the surface of the planet. Please prepare for the first batch of landing units—fight for victory and mission, the glory of His Majesty is with you .”
With hundreds of bright lights suddenly shining on the surface of the planet, our first landing team has safely arrived on the surface.
"...Uh... Master Angel?" Jaina's voice came from the communication device on the bridge with some confidence. Because it was the first time she participated in the operation, in order to set an example, she volunteered to join the first batch of landing troops, " This is Jaina, can you hear me?"
"It's very clear, how is the situation there?"
"We've made it to the surface safely, and it's desolate and... kind of disgusting."
Jaina's voice sounds good, and I have no doubts that they have taken over the moss directly - there is hardly an inch of clean land on the surface of the pimple star.
"Did you spot the enemy?"
"No response—our leader Raven is releasing search magic, we will find a place to hide first."
"Well, be careful, Wei Jia and her scorpion soldiers are in your team, be careful not to leave their protective range."
After a brief explanation, I turned my attention back to the series of holographic projections on the bridge. As for Qianqian and Lilina
These two masters who can't calm down have already run to the side of the landing conveyor, and they are waiting to kill the Quartet.
On the holographic projection in front of me, Pimple... Uh, hundreds of blue light spots on the surface of Pimple Star are gradually expanding into light spots, which means that our hundreds of landing troops have begun to expand to the periphery, but the transmission of various troops The information I got back made me a little confused. They haven't encountered a large-scale Zerg army so far. Only some sporadic stragglers were discovered by the login team and wiped out immediately.
This is not normal. It stands to reason that with the reproductive ability of the Zerg, after so many days, even if they can't form a climate again, it won't mean that there are only such idle troops on the entire planet, right? Could it be that those 100 million bugs are already their entire army on this pimple planet
The various civilizations wiped out by the Zerg will cry, they really will cry
"Your Majesty, this is the thirty-seventh landing force. We have found the intended target. It looks like a palace of Protos. No energy remains inside."
Suddenly there was such a report from the communicator, and I suppressed the doubts in my heart, and activated the response: "Very good, have you found the enemy's movement?"
"There were three sporadic battles in total, and the opponent did not appear to have a large-scale army, nor did they organize any form of counterattack against our arrival."
"Well, continue to act, pay attention to concealment."
Immediately afterwards, news from various advance teams also came together. Naturally, I couldn't respond to these news one by one, but handed them over to other commanders of the fleet. According to the information they gathered, the bugs on this planet are indeed big Portions are gone.
"Master, is there any result from rescanning the stars?"
I frowned and asked into the air.
"In the process of data collection and comparison... the results are the same as the first scan, no traces of insect swarms, no specific energy reactions, and no dangerous energy radiation were found."
Hey, what's going on with this weird situation? There are traces of worm moss and those slime creatures raging everywhere here, why can't they find the other party? Is it possible that Chengdu dares to participate in the Queen of Blades martial arts contest to recruit relatives
As soon as I had such nonsense thoughts, a voice suddenly came out from the communication device: "This is the 14th Landing Force. We have entered the target. It is preliminarily judged that this is the Protos ritual site. We found a huge The remains of the worm body, its DNA samples are being collected... the samples are being compared... sir, this is a queen repeat, this is a queen"
"Are you sure? How did that thing hang?"
I was taken aback, dead? The queen of this planet is dead? No wonder the enemy can't be found everywhere, their spawning machines are finished after working for a long time
"Sir, we found a large number of traces of high-temperature melting at the scene, and the body of the queen has scars melted by high-temperature cutting tools," the commander of the regular landing force reported hurriedly, "There is a certain degree of energy remaining at the scene... etc. Sir, we found the original psionic remnants of Protos, and the one who killed this female insect may be the Protos protoss"
Protos? They are on this planet
This news was immediately conveyed to the minds of every leader of the landing force. After confirming that the alert level had dropped by one level, these advance teams immediately expanded the scale of the search. Soon, several areas near the search area of the fourteenth landing force In the same area, other troops also found similar battle traces. It seems that the Protos troops mainly concentrated in these areas to launch attacks on the Zerg, but we did not find any corpses of the Protos soldiers, and we do not know that they were killed by the Zerg. Zerg eat or eat or eat...
Just when we thought everything was going well and the enemy would not show up and we were about to deploy our scientific research troops, a raven suddenly sent back an emergency message: "Your Majesty, this is the third Raven Squad. Our druids are in a place." The cave has discovered a hidden life fluctuation. The detector lost contact a minute ago. We are about to enter the cave and request follow-up troops to follow up."
This news finally brought about a change in the peaceful exploration process. The two regular troops closest to the third Raven Squad were immediately ordered to approach the cave they discovered, and I told Qianqian and Lilina about the following discoveries , no surprise, the two became excited on the spot
"Finally you can go on an adventure, Jun, let's go."
This is Qianqian's cheerful voice. She seems to have a completely different concept from normal girls about going deep into the worm's nest.
"Great, there's a fight this time"
Lilina followed Qianqian and cheered, how should I put it, I think the chief priestess of the goddess of life is as unreliable as the god she believes in...
