Sheyan was now almost certain that the Protoss had been hiding their true strength. They had been luring the Zerg to attack in order to deplete the Zerg's strength. The irrefutable evidence was Sokada's introduction to the girl he caught.
"Divina, our Chief Phoenix Controller, Psionic Councilor, and the most beautiful lady I've ever seen."
Chief Phoenix Controller … What did that mean? The Phoenix Battleship was the legendary latest advanced aircraft of the Protoss, the MVP fighter used to replace pirate ships and reconnaissance planes (the expensive pointy little planes)!
Since the Protoss had such a new Phoenix Battleship, but they did not use it in the previous stalemate, it was obvious that the Protoss were luring the Zerg to deplete the enemy's strength with their defences!
***
Time passed quickly, and the entire base had been besieged for half an hour.
It felt like the entire base was surrounded by a tide of Zerg. In the darkness on all sides, the Protoss base seemed to be surrounded by a vast sea of Zerg, whose cold eyes were spying on their every move.
Moreover, from time to time, the tide would set off waves that fiercely slammed into the Protoss base. After destroying a photon cannon or an energy tower, the tide would retreat before the main forces arrived. If the Protoss dared to chase after the tide, then it would be difficult for the pursuing forces to return alive.
Whenever a Protoss patrol saw any suspicious signs, they would rush into the darkness. At first, they would rush out with irresistible force for a few hundred meters, but then, like sugar dissolving in water, they would completely evaporate from the face of the earth! After this happened a few times, the patrols could only move within the range of the photon cannons.
Faced with this situation, the leaders of the Protoss were caught in a dilemma.
The strength of the Protoss and the Zerg was originally on par with each other. However, after the battle during the day, the Protoss were on the defensive side after all, so the difference in strength had begun to appear. At this time, it was about 100: 80.
However, half of the Protoss' strength was accounted for by the various defensive facilities they had!
In other words, without the protection of the defensive facilities, the ratio of mobile forces on both sides was actually 70: 50! Instead, the Zerg still had the advantage. This directly led to the Protoss not being able to face the Zerg's strange tactics head-on. They could only grit their teeth and endure.
Sheyan had calculated that the Zerg's slow bleeding tactic was actually quite effective. The essence of nibbling away at a battle was to "cut off one finger but not injure all ten" and "gather small victories to make a big victory". Under the cover of darkness, the Zerg seemed to have the advantage in terms of reconnaissance due to their pervasive presence and the anti-stealth Overlord. In addition, the Protoss' area of defence was too wide, so it was difficult for the Protoss to mount a targeted defence. This directly led to one thing – the Protoss could do nothing about the Zerg's tactic!!
This meant that if this continued for a few more hours, the advantage that the Protoss had gained from the strategy of attrition that they had racked their brains to come up with would be nibbled away. More importantly, half of the Protoss' strength was spent on defense, which meant that the gap between the mobile strength of the two sides was getting bigger and bigger!
But at this moment, a flash of light suddenly appeared on a special building of the Protoss. It was an extremely dazzling electric light. In the palm of the building, which looked like a giant blood-red hand, stood the leader of the Protoss, Uraki. The tentacles on his face were fluttering in the wind, and even his robe was fluttering wildly in the wind. The robe clung tightly to his body, revealing the outline of his strong and muscular body!
Suddenly, Alaki waved his hand. It looked like he was using his psionic ability to point at a certain position on the battlefield. Immediately, a large group of Protoss troops rushed over. Just as the defensive troops were in position, a large swarm of Zergs rushed out from the darkness. Although their appearance was very sudden, they had hit an iron plate in the face of the Protoss troops and defensive measures that were waiting for them!
At this moment, Uraki had personally stepped out to act as a lighthouse. With his powerful supernatural abilities, he was naturally able to see every movement of the Zerg!
After the Zerg's offensive was thwarted three times in a row, a dazzling red lightning suddenly flashed across the sky. Then, an invisible majesty came crashing down, as if the whole sky had collapsed.
That was the will of the Queen of Blades!
The two powerful creatures once again engaged in a fierce head-on confrontation. The indescribable collision on the spiritual level was only known to the two sides. However, the air was violently torn apart by the invisible psychic power, making a terrible tearing sound. Many weak Protoss creatures were even affected. They fell to the ground, clutching their heads and screaming in pain!
Then, Uraki disappeared from the top of the building. The Shadow Emperor in the distance also let out a furious and fierce roar, and the pressure gradually faded away.
Soon, the Psionic Hub of the Protoss main base rang with the sound of a bell. The sound of the bell was transmitted through the air in the form of a ripple, but when it reached Sheyan's ears, it automatically turned into a telepathic signal.
"All hero-level combat units, gather here immediately!"
When Sheyan stepped into the interior of the Spirit Hub, he discovered that it no longer had the same clear and transparent aura as before. Instead, it was replaced by an austere majesty. Two rows of solid steel pillars filled with the majesty of royalty extended forward from the center of the hall. The pillars were decorated with sharp, streamlined decorations.
At the end of the two rows of pillars was a huge blue crystal suspended in the air. The crystal was dark blue, and inside it was Uraki. He looked like an insect wrapped in amber, completely unconscious. As he breathed, a faint crimson mist would be discharged from his pores all over his body. Uraki's body was covered in a layer of dark blue, and he looked like an insect wrapped in amber. He seemed to be completely unconscious, but as he breathed, a faint crimson mist would be expelled from his pores.
However, although Uraki's physical body seemed to have suffered serious damage, as soon as they entered this place, they could clearly feel that they were being watched by a god, and that even their internal organs were being seen through. Uraki's soul should have completely left his severely injured physical body, and he was still in control of this sacred and majestic core of the Protoss race in a dignified manner.
Sheyan could not help but sigh at the absurdity of the situation. This legendary figure was so shameless that he could do whatever he wanted with his soul. Leaving his physical body was as easy as leaving a broken car!
At that moment, Sheyan saw Sokada secretly gesturing to him from the front. He was surrounded by familiar faces. In addition to Aldaris and Tochego, there was also Divina, the girl Sokada had just hooked up with. Although Sheyan did not know what their intentions were, he still sneaked over to them.
When the rest of the Protoss warriors saw that a damned human had sneaked into this sacred place, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets. They also realised that this human had actually received Lord Uraki's authorization … This was even more unacceptable to them. Uraki was the only one who had managed to sneak into the Protoss' territory.
Sheyan looked around and found that there were more than 40 heroic units in the hall. This further confirmed that the Protoss had deliberately pretended to be weak during the day to preserve their strength. At that moment, Uraki's telepathic voice was transmitted into everyone's mind.
"Heroic warriors, those lowly insects think they have caught our weakness and have repeatedly launched sneak attacks on us under the cover of darkness! What should we do? "
"Tear them to pieces!" All the heroic units roared at the same time.
Uraki's thoughts became even more intense. He roared, "Let's go!"
He roared, "That's right! Tear them to pieces! The reason I had to beat back the Queen at the risk of being seriously injured is because only Morrigan has the power to stop you! Now that both of us have suffered heavy losses, you are the greatest warriors. What I want you to do is to blend in with us ordinary warriors, then use your powerful strength to tear these insects into pieces amidst their pain and screams! "
Sheyan's heart skipped a beat. Uraki's scheme was indeed very insidious. It was like a needle hidden in a velvet glove. If the Zerg wanted to eat a soft persimmon that looked easy to pinch, they would find that there was a sharp needle hidden in the soft persimmon. The Zerg would definitely be pricked to death!
There was a saying that a lion leading a flock of sheep could defeat a flock of lions led by a sheep. Under the leadership of these powerful heroic units, the ordinary Protoss units would definitely be able to unleash even more terrifying power. More importantly, they were very close to the Protoss base and could receive reinforcements at any time. They could also retreat to the main base to rest and reorganise at any time. It was almost impossible to wipe them all out.
In this way, after the Zerg had been tricked several times in a row, they would become wary of the Protoss. It would be very difficult for the Protoss troops to gain the upper hand as they did now. Then, the unequal information gap between the two sides on the battlefield would slowly be reversed. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com.
