Xyrin Empire

Chapter 417: Uncle Z

Views:

The endless sea of insects surged towards us like the silt that had gained life. Layers of purple-black waves rolled higher and higher, and the ears were filled with the endless roars of insects and the friction of carapaces. The gnawing insects with the size of small mammoths waving their pincers, the huge cockroaches with thick carapaces mixed in, and other various mutated and strangely shaped Zerg, they seemed to have no fear at all, facing thousands of I was not afraid of the tragic scene of my family members being turned into carrion by some kind of strange and inexplicable force, and they scrambled to launch a suicide charge towards us. Lilina was still pale in my arms, and she left With those identities, she is just an ordinary girl. Even though she has gone through time travel, even though she has experienced the ravages of the undead natural disasters in Azeroth, she must have never seen such a Shura field where internal organs and flesh and blood are flying together. So she didn't even realize she was being hugged by my princess, but instead she grabbed my collar tightly like a real little girl and curled her head as close as possible in my arms.

But fear is nothing but fear, and the surging life energy around us has not weakened in the slightest. Lilina has done a good job in this regard. Even if she feels uncomfortable in her heart, she has not forgotten her mission—even though it seems that in Vega With the sweeping attack like the autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves and the brutal and merciless time of Qianqian, we don't have to worry about getting injured at all.

These Zergs are simply too vulnerable when facing the leader-level Xiling Apostle, and sometimes the theory that quantity overwhelms quality also needs an upper limit.

"Thunder Cut"

During Weijia's charge, he suddenly shouted loudly, and the ship-chopping knife in his hand instantly flickered with a blue-white glare of lightning, and then the two-meter-long ship-chopping knife suddenly swung into an afterimage, and the half-moon-shaped vacuum blade and bright arc extended all at once. Nearly half a kilometer away, she cut a large piece of bugs in front of her in half, and then she leaped high, and the two-ton steel body of the armored scorpion slammed heavily into a thunder that dared to swing its pincers at her. On the beast's back, six mechanical limbs pierced into the Thunderbeast's back armor. In the splash of plasma, Weijia's dual knives cut the enemy below him into three neat pieces in less than a millisecond.

I easily supported the energy shield that can protect everyone, and I even had enough energy to appreciate the small concentric circles that the bony thorns shot by the Hydralisk fired on the chaos. I just tried it with my hands out of curiosity. Its kinetic energy is about the same as that of a human anti-tank missile. It can easily penetrate the power armor made by humans or kill the plasma shield of the Protoss by numbers, but for us, it is about It's equivalent to a non-threatening target...

I think my energy shield is strong enough that all Hydralisks present will not be damaged in the slightest if they are sprayed with calcium deficiency. As long as there is energy in this world, I will definitely be infinitely bluer than the Sunwell.

"I said, are you going to watch the show all the way?"

Suddenly there was such a muffled voice in front of my chest. When I lowered my head, it turned out that Lilina had finally poked her head out. Although her face was still ugly, she seemed to have almost regained her vitality.

By the way, this girl wouldn't have vomited on my chest once, right

Fortunately, Lilina, a pure creature created by God, should not have such physical defects. The little girl only had a bitter face, but she still stared at me from bottom to top with her big spiritual eyes, her whole face was filled with admiration for someone. A just denunciation of people's lack of effort.

"Anyway, the two of them are enough to handle all the bugs here."

I curled my lips indifferently. I won’t talk about how strong Weijia’s melee combat ability is. Even with the most basic fighting skills, she can chop down 100,000 springtails without panting and keep her hair in order. And look at it Now Sister Scorpion is surrounded by electric arcs, I have no doubt that she can play N in and N out in this sea of insects.

The rest is Qianqian... Do I need to say more than this specification? If she is willing, she can even make these tens of millions of Zergs commit suicide by standing here with the time domain turned on. I don't believe that carbon-based creatures can evolve to resist time.

Do you still need me to make a move

"What an idiot..." Lilina nestled in my arms, murmuring alone, "Isn't this the opportunity for you big men to act like a hero and deceive girls? You are really a freak..."

"What?" Because the surrounding insects were too noisy, I only heard Lilina muttering, but I didn't know what the other party said.

"It's okay... the harem man..."

How did I mess with her

The distance of dozens of kilometers was easily crossed in a short time under our almost supersonic charge. The fragile Zerg had no power to fight back under the attack of the leader-level apostle. The Protos building that Vega mentioned was already close at hand. , I can't see its function, but according to the gorgeous multi-layered tower shape and the two tall sculptures made of crystal and mysterious alloy at the main entrance of the building, it should be, as Vega said, a palace of ceremonies something like that.

A very strong arcane shield surrounded the "Protoss" building emitting a blue halo, and large swaths of arcs continuously splashed out from the shield, burning the nearby Zerg into ashes like a whirling blade , this kind of high-end ability to fuse two completely different types of magic into one skill release may take a lifetime of study for human mages, but it is a must-have skill for ravens: their quantum computing core simultaneously simulates more than a dozen Set thinking is stress-free.

But in my opinion, although the bugs cannot get close to here due to the existence of the arcane shield, it is an indisputable fact that the soldiers stationed here have fallen into a disadvantage. Hundreds of millions of bugs are densely gathered here In the almost vast and boundless crypt, every inch of space is blocked from the sky to the ground. Hundreds of soldiers from the landing force, more than half of them are ordinary Xiling soldiers and human mages from Azeroth. It may be enough to use as an exploration force, but it is absolutely impossible to break through surrounded by tens of millions of insects.

But since we can't break through... how did they get in, bastard

"The Spirit of the Ancestors Bless the Divine Envoy Has Arrived"

After we rushed into the safety zone formed by the arcane shield, a tauren shaman who was busy smashing the titanium alloy totem on the ground with a power hammer immediately pulled up his mask excitedly, and white gas gushed from his nose—I have to Fortunately, the oxygen environment of the power armor made by Xiling is bounded by an energy barrier near the helmet. Otherwise, the bull-headed man would become the first Azerothian to suffocate on an alien planet.

"What's going on? Are all the other fighters here?"

I nodded to the tauren uncle, and by the way helped him adjust the power hammer to the "HIGH" mode, and then asked a Xiling commander who was directing the soldiers to deploy the anti-proton turret.

The unnamed commander gave a standard military salute, and reported to me with a steely voice unique to soldiers: "Regard Your Majesty, the 3rd Raven Squad, the 17th Marine Corps, and the 19th Marine Corps are all assembled here. We were sent directly to the vicinity of this strange Protos Temple. When we arrived, it was already surrounded by layers of Zerg. A small group of Protos fighters were resisting with the energy field of the temple itself. Our connection with the outside world was blocked. Interrupted, we have been fighting here for an hour, and now the marines have sufficient backup energy, and the magic troops are slightly fatigued. Chief Raven 003 has set up a stable shield magic array, which can last for more than 24 hours and the report is over."

I simply looked around. The building behind us probably covers an area of several thousand square meters. It is not a large hall. The overall shape is a pentagonal prism divided into three floors. The blue crystal, the curved doors and pillars have a very obvious Protosian style, and the arcane shield arranged by Raven 003 completely wraps the entire building, making it safe for no bugs within half a kilometer around. area, but the Zerg outside the shield are still launching suicide attacks on the temple regardless of casualties.

"Where are those Protosians?" I asked curiously, shouldn't they all be dead? They don't have the BT-level individual combat power of Xiling warriors.

"Those Protoss suffered heavy injuries. When we entered the battle, there were only a dozen people left standing on the other side. Now they are placed in the temple and receive treatment from blood elf priests. However, according to the casters, The psychic energy of the Protosians interferes with the magical elements, and regular healing magic has little effect on them."

I nodded and ordered Weijia to lead the scorpion soldiers here to strengthen the defense line, and then led Qianqian and Lilina into the temple of Protos to visit those unlucky "Protoss" fighters.

Last time I only had a short conversation with the Protos commander named Duhan on the communicator, so this time can be said to be my first official contact with the Protos race, and I did not expect, We should meet under such circumstances.

After entering from the gate of the temple, there is a vast hall directly. The walls of the hall are inlaid with countless oval-shaped ice-blue crystals, which constantly emit a faint light, making the whole hall look very bright. There is no space in the thousands of square meters. A pillar exists, and only slightly arc-shaped golden alloy walls "grow" from the seamless ground, supporting the dome covered with mysterious characters above our heads, and a very weak energy field floats in the entire hall, I suspect that it's Protos' spiritual power spreading around—their source is the few blue-skinned drais who are sitting in the center of the hall, meditating with their eyes closed... er, the Protos tribe.

No matter how many times I've seen it, those tentacles on Protos' male chin... the tentacles are still full of complaints.

Naturally, our entry cannot be concealed from these warriors who have honed their combat skills for hundreds of years. I can clearly feel that more than a dozen weak spiritual forces have been concentrated on me, but in the end, only the one who stood up to meet us A tall "Protoss" wearing a dark and old cloak, even his face was hidden under a mask, only a pair of eyes that shone with light.

Why does this look look so familiar

"Then, you are the emperor and envoy whom these mysterious and powerful warriors respectfully call," said Proto, who was as tall as two Pandoras stacked up (should I use the height of Pandoras as a common unit of measurement?) The Sri Lankan said in a low and soft tone, "Perhaps fate guides us to meet in this holy place of our ancestors. Strange friends, I have heard of your arrival."

"Oh," I nodded, "then there is no more nonsense, I am the emperor of the Xiling Empire, Chen Jun, my soldiers have consolidated the defense line here, now I want to know what happened—well, and you name."

"You can call me Zeratul," said the tall Protos man in front of him surprisingly, he is really the famous Uncle Z I wonder why his appearance is so familiar

However, Uncle Z, who has always appeared as a lone ranger, would lead his tribe to appear in this unshitty Liaoxing mine, which made me very curious: what are they doing here

"I heard many days ago that a mysterious civilization very similar to humans arrived in this star area and launched a war against the Zerg," Zeratul continued in a low tone, "For this reason, I came to find out, but found this long-forgotten shelter of Protos. I killed the mother worm, and then went deep into the planet's underground with my followers... We found this sacred palace, but in After activating the temple, almost all the remaining Zerg on the entire planet were attracted by the energy it emitted. We were trapped by this number, fought fiercely for several days, and were exhausted. Then those powerful mysterious warriors suddenly appeared around the temple. A strong line of defense was erected, they saved my people from destruction, and they declared that the most powerful emperor in the universe would solve this dilemma, and that is how it happened."

Hearing this, I am in awe of Uncle Z.

Tens of millions of Zerg, he actually led such a few templars to resist in this temple for several days

This combat power is almost comparable to that of ordinary imperial officers

And what makes me admire him even more is that he obviously had the opportunity to leave—yes, as the most powerful assassin of Protos, his permanent disappearance and various shadow transmission skills make this powerful "Protoss" warrior He could have easily escaped from this crypt, but he did not leave, just not to abandon his followers

In the ensuing few inquiries, I finally figured out why our fighters were all concentrated in this place: an ancient "artifact" was kept in this temple of Protos, and that thing was being destroyed by Zeratul. After being accidentally activated, energy fluctuations have been radiating outward. Although the technological level of the Protoss cannot be compared with that of the Xiling Empire, they at least have the qualifications to talk to the empire in the field of technology (especially now that the technology tree still has Most of the incomplete Xiling Empire), this mysterious artifact interfered with the spatial positioning system of the three teams. When the team leader of the latter found that the communication was interrupted and planned to temporarily teleport back to the surface through space, he misjudged the coordinates And was sent to this ghost place.

Of course, it may also have something to do with the carelessness of the three team leaders themselves. They never thought that the transmitter installed in their bodies from birth would be disturbed, so they didn't find a small error in the space coordinates.

After listening to Zeratul's description, I naturally became very interested in that "artifact". However, it seems that Zeratul attaches great importance to the treasure belonging to Protos, at least, for a sudden appearance like me. The "emperor" is unfamiliar, he doesn't have much trust, even though my soldiers are helping him guard this temple, I understand this.

"These fighters were seriously injured."

When I asked about Zeratul's situation, the latter said so in a heavy tone, and then led me to a dozen templars who were sitting and meditating.

"They don't have enough medical treatment, so they can only use meditation to suppress their pain. The magical power of your soldiers called 'priests' can also greatly relieve the pain of being corroded by the poison of the Zerg, but these soldiers , their souls have returned to Shakuras, I wish them a safe journey..."

Zeratul was referring to the remains of more than a dozen Protos warriors lying quietly in a corner of the temple.

"Shakuras is probably a few light-years away from here." Lilina shrugged and walked forward, "Even if your Protos souls are all dual-core, you can't run at that speed."

Lilina said so, and then slowly raised her hands under Zeratul's bewildered gaze, a peaceful expression like the Virgin appeared on her face, and the green light gradually filled the entire hall.

"So those souls who don't want to run away and die on the way, just obediently return to your bodies and stay in your body. In the name of the goddess of love, get up and work for my old lady."

Do you dare to give me a little more aggressiveness

However, Zeratul could no longer express surprise or protest at Lilina's explosive remarks at this moment, because some kind of powerful energy beyond his cognition was gradually gathering, and then turned into a huge green beam of light, accompanied by a faint soft singing voice On those fallen Protos warriors.

"Psychic energy can resist magic, but no one can reject the will of the goddess."

Lilina finished playing handsome, maintaining the posture of floating in mid-air when she cast the spell just now, and triumphantly asked me for credit.

Cut, the sad guy who floats in the sky and is still half a head lower than me.

"Shakuras above what am I witnessing? The return of life"

Zeratul yelled in shock, because those Protos warriors who were cold corpses just a second ago sat up as if nothing had happened, and looked around with a confused expression, and through the familiar breath that emerged again However, Zeratul can completely rule out the possibility that the corpses of these compatriots are being controlled in some way.

"Life is precious, so thank you for patronizing this settlement of 68,880 yuan~~~"

Lilina continued to promote her unreliable spirit, and hurriedly approached Zeratul, with a smirk that made Uncle Z, who had always been calm, show an extremely embarrassing expression.
