Chapter 1 The Zerg Tide

The Zerg army had always been known for its cheapness and numbers, sweeping in like a blanket, whistling past, the sheer terror of their quantity and imposing aura sending chills down spines.

The Zerg army's flood directly impacted the Protoss forces' position, and a brutal tug-of-war began. Both sides' military strength was being consumed at an alarming rate. The front line was a meat grinder of blood and flesh!

In the end, something shocking happened. The last photon cannon shattered and exploded, but the Zerg army was also exhausted. As the saying goes, an arrow at the end of its flight cannot penetrate silk. They crashed headfirst into the defensive wall created by the Protoss.

Although the Protoss only had two or three Dragoon left, and one Zealot with crippled limbs, the final result was that they defended their base.

Looking at the ravaged appearance of the position, one couldn't help but think of the ancient battlefield at sunset, blood-red, corpses strewn across the field, broken arrows and blades scattered everywhere, battle flags blackened by gunpowder smoke fluttering, yet a general surviving a hundred battles, propping up his broken body with his weapon to greet the bitter victory.

"The Protoss seem to have found a hidden mineral vein! Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough crystal resources to support the battle for the position," Snake couldn't help but say.

He and Fang Senyan slowly moved to the right side of the battlefield and discovered that the Protoss Probes had emerged in dense numbers.

The Probe was a unit of the same status as the Zerg Drone and the Terran SCV, integrating mining and construction. These units, suspended in mid-air, diligently swept the battlefield, moving obstructing corpses, or placing orbs of light in certain places.

This was the construction advantage of the Protoss. They only needed to locate and summon the relevant buildings, and then let go. The energy would be like a life, growing automatically, slowly perfecting itself, until a complete building was formed.

Of course, the foundation of these summoned buildings had to be within the range of a charged Pylon, so that the Pylon could gradually provide the energy for its construction.

The reason Snake judged that the Protoss had made huge gains in mineral resources was because it could be clearly seen that the layout of these buildings placed by the Protoss was clearly a posture of defending and waiting for reinforcements.

However, this was not a good defensive area. Although it was on a slope, the Zerg forces could spread out from all sides, giving full play to their advantage in numbers. Coupled with possible airdrops and the air-to-ground coordination of Spore Flyers, a three-dimensional war, the battlefield was so large that the complexity of the situation would be elevated to the extreme. The difficulty for the defending side also increased day by day.

Therefore, the only purpose of the Protoss' persistence was to guard something that must be guarded, either a mineral vein, or... the whereabouts of the Dark Templar Shrine?

In a short period of time, the Protoss base in front of them had expanded to an astonishing extent. The original two Photon Cannons had now spread densely over a large area, almost covering the entire hillside.

However, these Photon Cannons were also built with great skill. They had deliberately left marching passages for Zealots and Dragoons in between, so that they could charge smoothly when attacking, or quickly retreat under the cover of Photon Cannons when seriously injured.

Then, a strange thing happened. Three Probes gathered together and actually began to summon a building at the same time!! And when summoning this building, it seemed to maintain high-intensity energy consumption, so twelve Pylons were densely built around it!

Immediately afterward, a large number of Zealots resolutely began to enter the light orb of the summoned building, their expressions solemn, and their expressions filled with an unprecedented piety. As soon as they touched the light orb in the middle, they dissolved into it, like groups of ants lining up to enter a high-speed juicer. It looked like they were performing a sacrifice!

As the Zealots sacrificed themselves, the light orb gradually began to be dyed red, first light red, then scarlet, deep red, blood red, and finally, it showed the kind of soul-stirring dark red, like a heart that had been stripped from the outside of the body, still stubbornly twitching and beating.

Finally, after nearly a hundred Zealots had sacrificed themselves, the building gradually showed its specific form. From the outside, it was a giant palm more than ten meters high standing on the ground, connecting the sky and the earth. Although its local details were still slowly improving, there was already a suffocating pressure about to emerge!

Seeing this situation, Fang Senyan couldn't help but ask Snake:

"What kind of building is this Protoss? Why have I never seen it before?"

Snake said solemnly:

"This thing is probably a strategic unconventional building of the Protoss. Only those powerful heroes have the authority to build it. Whether it is the Zerg or the Protoss, they are definitely not stuck in the mud, sticking to the same old ways. While trying to develop the potential of their own race, they are all tentatively trying to open a breakthrough from other races. Among them, the Zerg are at the forefront. The Queen of Blades is the most successful example of the Cerebrate seeking a breakthrough by combining with humans."

"Not only that, the secrets of our Terran Command Center have also been deciphered by the Zerg, which has led to the Queen being able to abandon her body and occupy the Command Center, producing abnormal SUV suicide soldiers. These are all ironclad facts that have been confirmed and presented to us, and are also examples of the Zerg using other races to evolve and become stronger. And it is said that their strategic unconventional building, a building for mass-producing Queen of Blades, is also being tested... (Well, playing StarCraft campaign maps, or that very famous RPG 7vs1 will see that thing)"

Fang Senyan's heart was also surging when he heard Snake's words. Although this old thing was a bit cunning and insidious, it must be said that he had extensive knowledge, so he continued to listen carefully. Snake continued:

"In the battle where my son died, the casualties were extremely heavy. Even Lang. West, known as the King of Ghosts, died in this battle. When he was dying, this guy once said one thing, that is, the Protoss also gained inspiration from a high-tech technology of the Zerg and were developing a brand new unconventional building. What gave them inspiration was the Zerg's abnormal technology of using flesh and blood to build a stable space wormhole teleportation gate!!"

"General, you should have seen the abnormality of this thing, right? A seemingly undefended and empty Zerg mining base can transfer an astonishing number of troops from thousands of kilometers away through the space teleportation gate in just a few minutes!!"

Fang Senyan smiled and did not answer, but how could he forget this Zerg high-tech? It was precisely because of this thing that he was able to turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain, skillfully allowing the Blackthorn Cerebrate to cross space, planes, and even I don't know how many galaxies, to descend on Pandora?

Snake leaned out his body, looked down, and showed a pensive look and said:

"If I guessed correctly, to complete this unconventional terrifying building, there is still a crucial thing missing."

Fang Senyan was about to speak when he smelled a strong and familiar fishy smell again. Although this smell was faint, it was as clear as if it had cut a knife in his perception. He couldn't help but say:

"The Zerg are going to launch an attack again!"

Snake immediately listened carefully and glanced at Fang Senyan in surprise and said:

"That's right, I heard the Hydralisk's damn sound of swallowing acid!"

On the distant horizon, a line of black tide surged, reflecting the vast iron-green earth, the wind was desolate, and there was a terrifying feeling of sweeping the world!

Then the Zerg tide crashed into the seemingly fragile dam that the Protoss had just built!!!

At this moment, even Fang Senyan, who was watching from a distance, couldn't help but hold his breath and was filled with excitement! Such fearless courage, such tragic misery, couldn't help but remind him of a famous ancient sentence:

"Rocks pierce the sky, waves crash on the shore, rolling up thousands of piles of snow."

The Protoss defense line was the Senran staggered rocks, and the Zerg troops who rushed forward were the crazy waves. After the two sides collided, what was produced was thousands of piles of flesh and blood that were splashed up to twenty or thirty meters high!!

Snake, an old fox, was used to seeing big scenes, and after looking at it a few times, he decisively said:

"The Protoss can't stop it."

Yes, although the casualties of that crazy tide reached an astonishing peak in an instant, it can be said that the death rate of the Zerglings and Hydralisks rushing in the front was 100%, but in the continuous crazy invasion of the subsequent forces, one-third of the Protoss position was lost in an instant!

Lacking photon cannons and photon shield replenishment devices and other facilities, the Protoss, which had an absolute disadvantage in number, could be said to only have the fate of being completely wiped out and turned into Zerg nutrients, and even the strategic unconventional building that was being built could only fall into the fate of being captured!

But at this moment, the strategic units of the Protoss also made their debut.

This was a unit that was so weak that it had almost no direct attack power, but it was also a decisive unit that could even determine the outcome of a local battle in an instant! Yes, that was the powerful creature that controlled the free energy in the universe, the High Templar (Psionic Storm user)!

Overwhelming psionic storms began to cover the entire position. Under such powerful power, only buildings and creatures inside buildings could be exempted from damage!
