697 Ehanri Protoss
Looking out of the portholes of the White Star's forward bridge deck, the dazzling white flash of the Otarian Rift was rapidly retreating, with one magnificent Imperial battlecruiser after another forming a long row behind it.
The entire fleet was brightly lit, and the lights along the outline of the battleships, as well as the emblems and hull numbers of each battleship, were particularly eye-catching, making it extremely spectacular.
Below the Imperial fleet, one can see the Purifier fleet's huge fleet with flashing orange lights, like a torrent of white-orange flames.
Looking from the porthole on the other side, the huge hull of the Spear of Adun occupies the entire field of view, but the gorgeous bow is like an unparalleled, brightly lit golden city. The golden void glow ship fleet passes through
The fluorescent blue matrix curtain surrounding the Ark ship looks like a golden-blue sword piercing the sky.
"An ancient protoss empire that is awakening?" Artanis's eyes widened a bit, as if I had never heard of it.
The various leaders of the Tyranid Empire, Durham and the Purifiers gathered on the White Star to participate in the pre-war meeting held by Augustus to discuss the next battle plan.
There were many people standing on the broad bridge, and the tall figures of the protoss were very conspicuous. Basically, all the leaders of all races who could be present were present. This grand occasion was very rare.
"The Yin Hanli stars may have separated from our group millions of years ago, and followed the Xel'Naga without hesitation and left El. But no matter what, the Yin Hanli must not have found the Xel'Naga.
They had no choice but to stop at the very edge of our known world and establish their empire." Zeratul said: "The only thing that can be confirmed is that they are the protoss and our kin."
"Perhaps there are not a few of our relatives who were scattered among the stars before and after the Eternal War. That sad catastrophe forced our tribe to leave our home star and scatter in places beyond the reach of our eyes."
"Perhaps the Arbitrator of the Supreme Council knew of their existence, but for the sake of the internal stability of the Protoss Empire, they did not make it public." Artanis hesitated to speak.
In the eyes of the Supreme Council, the star spirits who do not believe in Kara are all heretics, but conversely, in the eyes of the Yin Hanli star spirits, they are heinous heretics.
Yin Hanli Empire.
Judging from the information obtained so far, this is an equally arrogant and powerful ancient star spirit empire, which is exactly the same as the star spirit clan's consistent temperament.
"Sounds very similar to the experience of the Tal'darin." Renault thought of something: "It's just that the Tal'darin found their god Amon, but Yin Hanli did not."
"Aranak, have you Tal'darin ever heard of the Yin Hanli Star Spirit?" Augustus looked at the Tal'darin among the crowd who was the first person to be promoted.
"Never heard of it." Hearing Augustus ask himself, Alarak mocked several forces in one breath: "Now, no matter what level, they dare to call themselves an empire."
Of course, no one here cares about his opinion.
The pale gray face of the First Ascended One was full of dissatisfaction. He had offended almost everyone with his previous words. So, while staying on the Spear of Adun, the executives of the Purifiers discussed each other.
In the name of skill, I asked Alarak for a few tips, but he was almost beaten into a pig's head.
Alarak believes that only pain and suffering are the true meaning of life, but that does not mean that he is the one who suffers from pain and suffering.
This is really unpleasant.
Staying on the Spear of Adon, Artanis had too many rules, not to mention that idiot Artanis was still giving him instructions on how to take terazine.
Really annoying!
"We haven't seen them either." Coralion expressed his opinion on behalf of all the Purifier protoss: "The attitude of the Yin Hanli protoss is crucial."
The number of strange star spirits has increased again.
"Zeratu, didn't you say that the elders of Yin Hanli Star Spirit will contact us? It should be now." Renault mentioned at this time.
"Your Majesty, the communication with the unknown signal has been connected. They claim that they are a fleet of Yin Hanli Star Spirit." A communications sergeant reminded Augustus at this time.
The main body of Yin Hanli's protoss ship and structure machinery is a very special deformable organic meteorite, which is powered by the void crystal array, Xel'Naga kinetic energy machine and Xel'Naga artifact "Well of Nebula".
, with clear water chestnuts.
Therefore, Yin Hanli's fleet is like a meteorite fleet composed of countless meteorites.
"Everyone, let us listen to what the Yinhanli star spirits will say." Augustus nodded, turned to Artanis and others.
After a few seconds, the communication screen was transferred to the main screen of the White Star bridge.
What caught Augustus' eyes was the huge bridge of the Yin Hanli Protoss Mothership dotted with many green void crystals. Its wide deck was made of some kind of ancient black stone plate, with blood vessels-like inscriptions carved on it.
Detailed runes and mysterious geometric patterns. An ancient reliquary is inlaid on the bridge wall at the far end, and the rich darkness spreads from the shadows radiating from below.
Yin Hanli claims to be the last descendant of the Xel'Naga. Whether it is their ships or clothing style, they are almost identical to the Xel'Naga creations in Urna.
Along the long black stone table decorated with spiral patterns and swirls, the elders of Yin Hanli sat high on huge stone chairs decorated with gems and crystals. Their emerald green eyes seemed to be looking down at all living beings.
"Gods above, we are talking to you from afar, the spokesperson of Xel'Naga."
Augustus said nothing and looked at Zeratul.
This Xel'Naga spokesperson is talking about Zeratul.
Zeratul once said to Augustus that it seemed that the Yinhanli protoss believed that he was the Dawnbringer of Xel'Naga, the one closest to their gods. - Although in a sense,
That's true, at least for corpses.
The Yinhanli Star Spirits are fanatical believers in Xel'Naga, and they firmly believe that the gods will give them wise guidance.
Not to mention, Zeratul is really regarded as a god by the Yin Hanli star spirit.
A magician versus a fanatical believer, this is called professional counterparty.
"Great elders Yin Hanli, I am extremely honored by your arrival." Zeratul said with full respect.
"Anht zagatir nas (Gods bless you), Zeratul." An elder Yin Hanli said in a gentle tone: "We have just woken up from a deep state of stasis, and we still don't know much about this era.
.... Those detectors that are still working have brought deeply disturbing news that a large number of hateful alien creatures are wreaking havoc on the ruins of our ancient homeland, slaughtering the creatures above."
"It's true as you said, this is a dark age."
At the same time, Yin Hanli's elders looked at Augustus, Renault and others calmly. They didn't mean anything malicious, but they just thought that human noses and mouths were very strange.
For Zeratul to be called an elder, these Yinhanli protoss must also be quite old. In the age when they were sleeping, humans may not have reached the Koprulu sector yet.
The elders Yin Hanli wore thick robes with the same color as their meteorite battleships. The robes were painted with green sacred runes. He wore a sculpted crown, a perfectly proportioned crown, and nerve bundles of hair hanging down to his chest.
The end of the tip is decorated with many beautiful stone decorations.
The Yin Hanli protoss are proud of their status as the heirs of the Creator. For this reason, they will do their best to decorate themselves and their battleships with Xel'Naga sacred objects. Although the eldest son of the god of Aiur also respects the Xel'Naga as a god.
, regard Xel'Naga as their mentor, but their fanaticism is far less than that of Yin Hanli.
If the Eldest Son of God and Tal'darin have more or less gone astray, then the Yin Hanli Protoss seems to be the true successor of the Xel'Naga.
At least, Yin Hanli is a protoss civilization developed entirely based on Xel'Naga technology. Their emblem is the Xel'Naga with the face of the protoss, which can be seen from this.
"Elders, this is indeed a dark age." Zeratul looked at them and said: "The fallen among the gods, Xel'Naga Aemon, with endless hatred for endless reincarnation and all things in the universe, he came back.
Already."
"The Doomsday War is coming, and Amon's wrath will eventually engulf the entire galaxy." He said:
"Everything in the universe is looking forward to our victory."
Hearing Zeratul's words, the elders of Yin Hanli did not show too much surprise. For thousands of years, the Yin Hanli Empire's detectors have been monitoring other protoss tribes and zerg, and have no idea about Tal'darin.
The faith is also understood.
However, the God of Darkness and the Xel'Naga that Yin Hanli believes in are obviously not the same thing. Even if it was actually Amon who came to Aier to teach and uplift the ancient star spirits, Yin Hanli would only choose what they are willing to believe and put them into the world.
The positive image of Xel'Naga is naturally separated from Eamon.
In the early days, Amon and his followers came to Aiur and taught the ancient protoss. They really walked among the protoss as the Xel'naga, the creator and the true god. This is why the protoss regarded the xel'naga as gods.
.
"The army of the God of Darkness is extremely terrifying." Another elder Yin Hanli, whose whole body was shrouded in shadow, said: "Only gods can resist gods. How can a mortal mortal disobey the gods? This is the most reasonable thing."
"Zeratul, have the gods given any revelation?"
The difference can be seen from here. The Xel'Naga prophecies mentioned by Zeratul are sometimes too crazy even in the eyes of his compatriots, but Yin Hanli believes them unconditionally.
Wow, this is an oracle, it must be worshipped.
"...the gods no longer exist." Zeratul still told the truth. Anyway, Yin Hanli will know what happened in Urna sooner or later, so it is better to tell the truth, otherwise there may be consequences.
gap.
The Yin Hanli elders were all silent upon hearing this, waiting for Zeratul to continue speaking.
They had never found the Xel'Naga, and were inevitably discouraged, thinking that since the gods had left, they would never return.
Zeratul lamented and recounted the prophecies in Urna's Hall of Revelation and the scenes in the Palace of Ascension.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Augustus felt that the eyes of these Yinhanli star spirits were straightened when they heard Urna. When Zeratul talked about the death of Xel'Naga, there was another burst of extreme shock and excitement.
A painful and gasping sound.
But the protoss seems to have neither eyes nor the need to breathe.
"impossible."
"Gods are eternal!"
"How blasphemous."
The reaction from Yin Hanli's star spirit can be described as furious.
"Tsk, tsk, how pitiful." Alarak laughed out loud: "Let them also feel the pain of Tal'darin being betrayed by God, hahahaha!"
"You're so vicious, Tal'darin." Raynor said to himself, just be a human being.
"Shut up, Alarak." Artanis is a leader with extraordinary magnanimity, but if you are gentle to Alarak, he will only regard you as weak and can be bullied.
"But we still have a glimmer of hope." After seeing the tragic situation in Urna's Ascension Palace, Zeratul thought that even he would feel disheartened.
But after being reminded by Augustus, Zeratul realized that since the xel'naga in Urna had long since died, the well-meaning voices that had given him revelations before were obviously still alive in some form.
Augustus even firmly believed that it must be a Xel'Naga who was still alive.
I don’t know where he got his confidence.
"The prophecy I received before was most likely from a Xel'Naga who was imprisoned in the void by Amon, the last god who still had good intentions towards creation." Zeratul said:
"The last god."
"... Zeratul, you have brought us too many surprises." After a long silence, the eldest Elder Yin Hanli finally said: "Even if we believe you, we must go to Zhuzhou.
Urna, the abode of God, confirms that this statement is true——"
"After that, we will gather the fleets sleeping across the universe, banish Amon, and rescue our gods."
"Judgement is coming."
Augustus was sour after hearing this... The protoss are always like this, as if they can create a fleet from some forgotten and unknown corner as long as they build a navigation beacon. This is an ancient civilization
's background.
Look at you.
Earthling!
"..."
Yin Hanli's communication with the Star Spirit was interrupted. Obviously, it would take some time for them to digest this information.
"Is the Yin Hanli star spirit really trustworthy?" After the communication ended, Augustus asked Zeratul.
Augustus still knew Yin Hanli's plan to go to Urna to find out. But anyway, they had already dug up all the treasures in Urna, and there was not much left.
"They are worthy of trust." Zeratul replied: "Augustus, next, I will join the Yinhanli star spirit and further gather the power I can muster."
Zeratul's connections are indeed very wide. In addition to Yin Hanli Protoss, he has also contacted many famous legions or fleets commanded by famous protoss heroes.
"Yes. Be careful along the way, Zeratul." Augustus nodded. Since Zeratul said that Yin Hanli is trustworthy, that's it.
"What combat effectiveness can a fleet made of stones have?" At this time, Alarak, who had already disliked Yin Hanli, couldn't help but uttered wild words.
"I think their fleet is cool." Augustus commented dryly.
The color scheme of this Protoss faction looks very supermodel.
"Even the Tal'darin Protoss, whose fleet was stolen and robbed, is qualified to say that?" Renault asked rhetorically.
"Creation is meaningless, even the most brainless creatures will create." Alarak narrowed his eyes: "I don't need to remind you twice about this kind of thing."
"That's enough, Alarak, those who enjoy the success have no right to blame those who have worked hard." Artanis couldn't sit still.
"Wow, Artanis." Alarak snorted: "Have you Templars only learned to reflect in this life?"
"You can't say what I want to hear."
"...?" Artanis was speechless for a moment. If Tychus were here, he wouldn't be able to say a word about who you are going to fight.
"Now is not the time to quarrel." Augustus controlled the situation with ease: "Continue the war meeting we just had."
"I will lead Alpha Squadron and Artanis to go to Sagulas first to rescue the Duram protoss there." He looked at everyone.
"Jim, you lead the remaining fleet and the Coralion Executive to return to the Imperial World and eliminate the Moebius Legion rebels entrenched in the Scar of Vengeance and the massive invading Hybrid Legion and Overlord Insect Swarm armies."
"You may also have to face Tassadar's corrupted golden fleet. Try to avoid a head-on confrontation with it, but you must delay the advancement of the golden fleet as much as possible."
Augustus laid it out in an orderly manner, as if it had already been planned in his plan.
"Tassadar has turned the tide in desperate situations countless times, and I believe it will be the same this time." Artanis trusted Tassadar much more than he did himself.
"We can't place our expectations on Tassadar being able to recapture the golden fleet from Amon by his own strength." Augustus looked at Artanis: "Now, Artanis, you are Dallam.
The last hope of the protoss."
"You will eventually become the leader Tassadar expected. This era should have ended with your name."
"Artanis, we have always believed that your potential is far greater than you think." Zeratul also encouraged.
"Do you have any other suggestions?" Finally, Augustus asked again.
Chapter completed!
