The experience of rescuing the hero fanatic, the red-cloaked muscleman Sokada, was self-explanatory. Two accurate Psionic Storms were unleashed to wipe out more than half of the Zerglings and Wyverns. After that, the Red Cloak was rescued after a series of chaotic battles.
The Red Cloak Sokada was covered in wounds after he was rescued. Although he still looked as arrogant as ever, he probably would not be able to hold on for much longer. The assistance of Sheyan and the others was like charcoal in a snowstorm. Fortunately, human medicine was just as effective on Protoss creatures (Nurses in the game could heal allied Zealots), so after a series of injections, Sokada recovered quickly.
At first, Sokada was very surprised by the appearance of a human, but after Aldaris's explanation, his view of Sheyan quickly changed. He seemed to have hit it off with Sheyan, probably because both of them were freaks who could face an Ultralisk head-on. Sokada's mind was filled with questions.
To Sheyan's dissatisfaction, Sokada was very certain that Sheyan had a part of the Protoss bloodline in him. His reasoning was that only someone with the bloodline of the Protoss would be able to fight the Ultralisk head-on. Sheyan did not know whether to laugh or cry at such a ridiculous reasoning!
Apart from this problem, Sokada was a straightforward guy who was quite likable. His voice was loud, at least a lot better than the cold Tochego who was always playing electronic music. But Tochego was a Dragon Knight, and that was only because he was biologically restricted. He did not deliberately act that way.
After the group gathered together, Sheyan naturally had to distribute some potions to them to make friends. None of those who were focused on fighting were not interested in potions that could enhance their overall strength.
Everyone had different reactions to the potions. Sokada asked Sheyan for a few more bottles, but when he found out that the potions had a shelf life, he gave up. Tochego, on the other hand, tried to get some relevant formulas to see if there was any possibility of mass production. Aldaris, on the other hand, remained silent, but he didn't ask for any less.
After resting for about half an hour, the group gathered about a group of defeated Protoss soldiers one after another and planned to go back to reinforce the base. But when they were some distance away from the Protoss base, they saw a large number of light spots and buildings in the process of taking shape on the hillside in the distance. The buildings had even spread to the plains. The scene was beautiful, but there was a sense of urgency in it. Even when they left, they did not hear the ear-piercing screams of the Zerg or the explosions of the Photon Cannons ….
The group exchanged glances with each other. They were all extremely surprised.
Because the situation in front of them clearly showed that the war had stopped, and the Protoss base was being rebuilt on the devastated ruins. But when they retreated, the Protoss base was clearly at a critical juncture. It was like a taut string that would snap with just a little more force.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the Zerg should not have stopped attacking no matter what. This was tantamount to failing at the last step, and all their previous efforts would have been for naught!
Giving up the chance of victory in vain was definitely not something the arachnids would do. Therefore, unless it was a last resort, the arachnids would definitely not retreat. What exactly happened before that caused the arachnids to suddenly retreat?
In any case, the fact that the Protoss base had not been captured was indeed good news. After Sheyan entered the Protoss base, he found that there were traces of a tragic battle everywhere. But after a large number of Probes cleaned up the place, the base was now shrouded in the unique atmosphere of the Protoss race. It was both sacred and sharp.
Although Sheyan had already been marked as an ally of the Protoss, both Sokada and Tochego believed that Sheyan should be recognized as an "allied hero" by default because he was able to take down an Ultralisk with his frail human body. In that case, Sheyan would of course be able to enjoy some of the privileges in the Protoss base, but he would also need to register for them first. Sheyan was a Protoss.
Of course, Sheyan would not refuse such good news. He followed a Zealot to the main base of the Protoss, the "Mind Hub". The Mind Hub was a very large building. In terms of appearance, it was quite similar to the pyramids on Earth, but there were many auxiliary components on the surface of the building, so it looked like a spaceship with a sci-fi flair.
The outer wall of the Heart Hub was made of an unknown metal. There were a large number of Protoss characters on it. These characters were composed of many circles and lines of different lengths. They looked very mysterious.
The four corners of the Heart Hub were inlaid with large transparent crystals that were at least five meters long. There was also a huge crystal suspended at the top of the Heart Hub. This crystal was at least ten meters long. These crystals were all smelted from the Pandora ores collected by the Explorer Astral Probes, and they looked quite spectacular.
Of course, these crystals were not just simple decorations. They had a very important function. When an enemy invaded the Heart Hub, the five crystals would resonate with each other and emit a dark blue glow. They would form a powerful energy shield to prevent the enemy from destroying the Heart Hub.
When rapid healing and recovery were needed after a great battle, the five crystals would be converted into healing energy. They would emit a green glow to heal the units inside the Heart Hub.
When Sheyan entered the Protoss base, he naturally attracted a lot of gazes, many of which were hostile. Fortunately, Sokada, the Red Cloak, was walking beside Sheyan. When he sensed the gazes directed at him, the war maniac glared back at them with an irritable and provocative glare! Sokada was naturally an idol-level figure among the Zealots. The rest of the Protoss could tell from his hammer that he was not someone to be trifled with. Therefore, Sheyan was able to avoid a lot of trouble along the way.
After stepping through the door of the Heart Hub, Sheyan suddenly felt an indescribable sense of emptiness. It was as if his soul had been shaken and then washed with clean water. The large space inside the Heart Hub gave him the feeling that he was underwater. It was extremely clear, unclean water, as if it had just dissolved from a ten-thousand-year-old glacier. The only difference was that there were no air bubbles or breathing difficulties.
At that moment, the arrogant Sokada suddenly knelt down on one knee on the floor in fear and reverence.
"Lord Uraki! You didn't just descend with your will! "
A soft and old voice said slowly.
"If my main body hadn't come, the entire base would have fallen long ago. How could we have delayed the completion of the Bloody Grasps?"
Sokada was stunned.
"But if you've come a long time ago, why didn't you come out to fight?"
Normally, Sokada's behaviour was very presumptuous, but Lord Uraki seemed to be treating him very well. He even explained to Sokada, "You're right.
"That's because … cough, cough."
Lord Uraki coughed violently for a full ten minutes before he finally calmed down. He could even feel the quietness and tranquility of the entire base. While he was panting tiredly, Sheyan whispered to the rash Sokada, "Lord Uraki.
"My lord, it seems like you're deliberately luring the Zerg into a battle of attrition. If you show up, the Overmind on the other side will definitely cower in shame."
Sheyan's voice was soft, but how could it escape the ears of a powerful leader-level Protoss like Uraki? Uraki seemed to be at least as powerful as Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades. Sheyan's words naturally attracted Uraki's attention.
Sure enough, although Sheyan could not see Uraki's main body at all, he could clearly feel a very clear energy scanning him. Very quickly, this lord spoke in a cold and indifferent tone.
"Human, first of all, I'd like to thank you for standing on the side of the great Protoss. You have gained our friendship. I hope you can cherish it and maintain it well. It will be the most important wealth of your life."
The arrogance and pride of the Protoss was vividly reflected in that sentence. Sheyan bowed obediently, but he sneered in his heart.
"The Pandora crystals and gas resources on this planet have already undergone large-scale mining, so the remaining mineral veins are limited. The amount of crystals carried during long-distance interstellar flight is also limited. This means that whether it is the Protoss or the Zerg, in theory, the military strength they can produce will be limited to a relatively small scale."
"You old fox, you're hiding. Naturally, you want to take advantage of your defensive advantage to deplete the Zerg's forces. In this way, the Zerg who take the initiative to attack will suffer more losses. The fiercer the Zerg attack now, the less bargaining chips they have … I understand now. Someone on the Zerg side has seen through your intentions. They know that the current situation of the Protoss being like an arrow at the end of its flight is just an act, so they decisively retreated. You actually coughed and got injured. You must have been caught in an ambush while chasing the enemy. It must be an enemy of the same level as you!"
Uraki did not seem to be willing to talk to Sheyan for long. He did not even show his real body. Instead, a ball of blue light appeared and imprinted a mark on Sheyan's forehead, acknowledging his identity as a 'hero' ally. In this case, Sheyan's privileges were undeniable. It was a direct comparison to the treatment given to Sokada and the others.
After that, Sheyan was sent out of the Hub by a gentle but firm force. It seemed that the Protoss leader did not want Sheyan to stay in there for even a moment longer.
