The Zerg army had always been known for their cheapness and their numbers. The terrifying numbers and majestic momentum of the Zerg army alone were enough to send chills down the spines of the Protoss army.
The torrent of Zerg troops rushed straight into the Protoss army's position, and a fierce tug-of-war ensued. The military strength of both sides was being consumed at an alarming rate. The front line had turned into a bloody grindstone!
In the end, something shocking happened. The last Photon Cannon also exploded, but the Zerg army was also exhausted. As the saying goes, an arrow at the end of its flight cannot pierce through the silk cloth. The Zerg army did not hesitate to crash into the defensive wall built by the Protoss army.
Although the Protoss army only had two or three Dragoons and a crippled Zealot left, they still managed to defend their base in the end.
Looking at the messy state of the battlefield, one could not help but think of ancient battlefields where the setting sun was as red as blood, with corpses everywhere, broken arrows and broken blades scattered everywhere, and war flags blackened by gunpowder fluttering in the wind. There were generals who survived hundreds of battles, holding onto their weapons to brace themselves for a tragic victory.
"The Protoss must have found a hidden mineral vein! Otherwise, they wouldn't have enough crystals to support the battle, "said Snake.
The two of them slowly made their way to the right side of the battlefield. They discovered that the Protoss Probes had swarmed out from the battlefield.
The Scouts were units on the same level as the Zerg worker drones and the human SCVs. They could mine and construct buildings as one. These units that could hover in the air diligently cleaned up the battlefield, carried away the corpses that were in the way, and began to place down orbs of light in certain places.
This was the architectural advantage of the Protoss. They only needed to locate and summon the relevant building. After that, they could let go. The energy would grow automatically as if it had a life of its own, slowly perfecting itself until it formed a complete building.
Of course, these summoned buildings had to be within the range of the charged crystal towers. Only then could the crystal towers slowly provide energy for the buildings.
The reason why Snake concluded that the Protoss had made a huge harvest in the mining industry was because he could clearly see that the Protoss had set up these buildings to defend and wait for reinforcements.
However, this was not a good place to defend. Although it was on a slope, the Zerg forces could spread out from all sides, making full use of their advantage in numbers. In addition, there was the possibility of airdrops and Mutalisks working together in the air. If the battlefield was expanded to such a large area, the complexity of the situation would be raised to the extreme. The difficulty of defending also increased with each passing day.
So the only reason the Gods were defending this place was to protect something that they absolutely had to protect. Perhaps it was a mine, or perhaps … the location of the Dark Temple?
In a short period of time, the Protoss base in front of them had expanded to an astonishing extent. Originally, there were only two Photon Cannons, but at this time, they were densely packed, almost covering the entire hillside.
However, these Photon Cannons were built very skilfully. There was even a passage between them for the Zealots and Dragoons, so that they could charge smoothly when attacking, or quickly retreat under the cover of the Photon Cannons when they were seriously injured.
Immediately after, something strange happened. The three Star Elves gathered together and began to summon a building at the same time!! And when they summoned a building, they seemed to need to maintain a high energy consumption, so there were actually twelve crystal towers densely packed around the building!
Then, a large number of Zealots walked into the light ball of the summoned building without hesitation. Their expressions were solemn, and there was an unprecedented piety in their eyes. As soon as they came into contact with the light ball in the middle, they dissolved into it like a swarm of ants lining up to enter a high-speed juicer. It looked like they were performing a sacrificial ritual!
As the Zealots sacrificed their lives one after another, the light ball of light gradually turned red. At first, it was light red, then crimson red, then crimson red, then blood red. In the end, it turned into a soul-stirring dark red, like a heart that was still stubbornly twitching and beating even though it had been stripped out of the body.
In the end, after sacrificing nearly a hundred Zealots, the building gradually took on a concrete form. From the outside, it looked like a giant palm more than ten meters tall standing on the ground, connecting the sky to the ground. Although some of its details were still slowly being perfected, it already exuded a kind of suffocating pressure that was on the verge of bursting out!
After witnessing this scene, Sheyan could not help but ask Snake, "What kind of building is this?
"What kind of building is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
Snake answered solemnly.
"This thing is probably a strategic-level unconventional building of the Protoss race. Only the powerful heroes have the authority to build it. Be it the Zerg or the Protoss, they're definitely not stuck to the rules. While they're working hard to develop the potential of their own race, they're also trying to find a breakthrough from other races. Among them, the Zerg are at the forefront. The Queen of Blades is the most successful example of a Brain Zerg looking for a breakthrough and combining with a human."
"Not only that, but the Zerg have also deciphered the secrets of our human command base, allowing the Queen to abandon her body to occupy the command base and produce the insanely powerful SUV Suicide Squad. These are all ironclad facts that have been confirmed and presented to us. It is also an example of the Zerg using other races to become stronger. It is also said that the Zerg are already experimenting with their non-conventional strategic buildings, mass-producing the Queen of Blades' buildings … (Well, you'll see them when you play Starcraft's battle map or the famous RPG7 VS S1).
Sheyan's heart was in turmoil when he heard Snake's words. Although the old man was treacherous and sinister, he was indeed very knowledgeable. Sheyan continued to listen attentively. Snake continued.
"In the battle where my son died, the Protoss suffered heavy casualties. Even Lang West, who was known as the Phantom King, died in that battle. When he was dying, he once said that the Protoss had also been inspired by a high-tech technology of the Zerg and were developing brand-new unconventional buildings. What inspired them was the Zerg's freakish technology of using flesh and blood to build stable spatial wormholes!!"
"Brigadier General, you should have seen how freakish this thing is, right? A seemingly defenseless Zerg mining base can actually transport an astonishing number of troops from thousands of kilometers away through a wormhole in just a few minutes!!"
Sheyan smiled but did not answer. How could he possibly forget about the Zerg's high-tech? It was precisely because of this thing that he was able to do whatever he wanted, cleverly allowing the Blackthorn Overmind to cross space, dimensions, and even countless galaxies to arrive on Pandora.
Snake poked his head out and looked down with a pensive expression.
"If I'm not wrong, there's still one crucial thing missing to complete this unconventional and terrifying building."
As Sheyan was about to speak, his nose once again caught a whiff of a strong yet familiar fishy odour. Although the odour was faint, it was as clear as a knife slicing through his perception. He couldn't help but blurt out.
He could not help but exclaim, "The Zerg are attacking again!"
Snake immediately listened carefully. He looked at Sheyan in surprise and said, "That's right.
I can hear the sound of those damn Hydralisks swallowing acid! "
On the distant horizon, a black tide was surging towards them, contrasting against the vast green earth. The sound of the wind was deafening. It gave off a terrifying feeling that it was going to sweep across the world!
Then, the tide of Zerg crashed head-on into the seemingly fragile dam that the Protoss had just built!!!
Even Sheyan, who was watching from afar, could not help but hold his breath. His heart was surging with emotions! That kind of fearless courage, that kind of mournful bitterness, he couldn't help but think of a famous quote from the ancient times:
"Rubble pierces the sky, raging waves beat the shore, rolling up a thousand piles of snow."
The Protoss' defensive line was the dense, crisscrossing rocks, while the Zerg troops were the frenzied waves. When the two sides collided, what was produced was thousands of piles of flesh and blood splattering twenty to thirty meters high in the air!!
Snake, on the other hand, was a wily old fox who was used to big scenes. After a few glances, he said decisively,
After a few glances, he said, "The Protoss can't stop them."
That's right, although the casualties of the Zerglings and Hydralisks in the front line had reached an astonishing peak in an instant, with the death rate of the Zerglings and Hydralisks at the front line, a third of the Protoss' defensive line had fallen in an instant!
Without the Photon Cannons, Photon Shield Replenishers and other facilities, the Protoss, who were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, would be completely wiped out and turned into nutrients for the Zerg. Even the strategic-level unconventional building under construction could only fall into the Zerg's hands!
But at that moment, the Protoss' strategic-level troop class finally made its appearance.
It was a troop class so weak that it had almost no direct offensive power, but it was also a troop class that could decide the outcome of a battle in an instant! That's right, it was a powerful creature that controlled the free energy in the universe, the High Templars!! (Blitzkrieg)
An overwhelming Psionic Storm began to envelop the entire defensive line. Under such a powerful attack, only the buildings and the creatures inside the buildings were immune to it! (To be continued.
