Sheyan might have thought about the cause and effect of the order, but the people here were probably all Uraki's diehard fans. They would jump into a sea of flames and swords as soon as the order was given. Sheyan was not used to this fanatical atmosphere, so he could not help but look for an ally.
Fortunately, although Aldaris was an Archon of the Protoss race on the surface, he was still a dirty contestant at heart. When Sheyan saw Aldaris casting an inquiring look at him, the two of them quickly exchanged glances. Although the two of them had some personal conflicts, they were here for official business. Besides, Sheyan had also accepted Ol 'Kido's mission, so he nodded ….
A group of high-speed Protoss troops had been assembled in the base, accounting for about one-third of the Protoss mobile forces at the moment. They were mainly ground troops, consisting of Zealots, Dragoons, and Archons.
Under the escort of the Dragoons, several fully-loaded transport planes were flying at a low altitude. Under normal circumstances, the transport planes were there to ensure that slow but powerful units such as Reavers and High Templars would not fall behind. Any enemy that tried to attack the transport planes from the air would have to endure a baptism of photon shells from the Dragoons around them.
This was also the standard configuration of the Protoss ground troops. This configuration had been carefully selected after countless battles. It was a jack of all trades combination that could deal with any dangerous situation. Of course, that was only if the difference in strength between the two sides was not too great.
Sheyan was currently dressed as a Zealot and walking side by side with Sokada. The latter had been forced to give up his iconic sledgehammer and red cloak. He was grumbling incessantly to express his strong dissatisfaction.
Tochego, on the other hand, was mixed in with a large number of Dragon Knights. Since he had an extra pair of legs, he was not too conspicuous among his compatriots, especially when he had deliberately disguised himself. The transport planes were carrying the hero units with distinctive features, and there were only a few Reaper Beetles and High Templars in it.
As for Divina, the Phoenix ace pilot, of course, she remained in the base. With her high mobility, she could provide support at any time.
Sheyan brought Ramtas with him. He wanted to use his servant's sense of smell to obtain the greatest benefits for himself. Violent explosions and sounds of battle suddenly came from the south of the base. The troops did not move because they knew that the distance was too far. By the time they got there, the only thing they could do would be to watch the Zerg disappear into the darkness.
This was an army that had followed Uraki's plan. The most important thing was to choose the right time to attack. The most important thing was that if they attacked, they had to achieve something! Otherwise, he would rather continue to lurk in the darkness.
Yes, they were doing something that seemed very stupid, and that was to wait for the rabbit to appear.
They would wait for the Zerg's next wave of attacks to appear in the nearby area, and then chase after them in one go!
The person who replaced Uraki as the leader of this army was staying in the specially disguised hero transport plane. He also had a very strong sense of perception, transmitting his will to every unit. Sheyan had yet to see his real face. He did not even know what kind of Protoss unit this guy belonged to. He could only sense that he was a very powerful guy. He was like a vigilant spider gently pressing its forefoot on a web, closely monitoring the entire army through the dense spider web!
Suddenly, Ramtas, who was also disguised as a Zealot, twitched its nostrils. It looked at Sheyan without batting an eyelid. It clenched its left hand into a fist, loosened its right hand, and tilted its left foot slightly to the side. This meant that it had smelled the scent of the Zerg in the direction its foot was pointing.
Of course, Sheyan would not warn Ramtas at this time. He just wanted to test Ramtas' accuracy. Sure enough, about twenty seconds later, the explosion of photon shells rang out from that direction, followed by the angry shouts of the Zealots, and the miserable screams of the Zerg.
The entire army moved at once. Like an arrow leaving the bow, they charged into the battlefield. They were like the most patient hunters who had been waiting for half an hour. At this moment, they were like the most ferocious beasts, pouncing towards the arachnid ambushers who thought they had succeeded!
The Zerg had chosen to attack not far from here, so when the Zealots at the front arrived, they could see several Zealots being killed and turning into smoke. The protective shield of the photon cannons used for defence was also broken by a group of Zerglings, and the cannons were set ablaze with light blue flames.
But that was the end of the Zerg's arrogance. Under normal circumstances, a Zealot's combat power was equal to three Zerglings. In other words, even if the Protoss had a numerical disadvantage, their elite troops could make up for it. Besides, the Protoss reinforcements were more than enough to crush the small Zerg force in terms of numbers.
More than twenty Zerglings and thirty Hydralisks were reduced to pools of blood in an instant, but this was not enough to satisfy the Protoss' thirst for blood. To them, the Zerg force was like the tentacles of an octopus wriggling in the darkness. Although the front end had been cut off, the remaining tentacles were rapidly retracting.
What the Protoss wanted to do was very simple – chase after the retreating Zerg force and teach the enemy a painful lesson that they would never forget!
This elite army quickly chased after the Zerg force that was left behind to bring up the rear, while charging into the depths of the darkness without hesitation!
The Zealot's lightsaber viciously pierced into the Hydralisk's body. The viscous green body fluid spurted out and quickly evaporated. The Dragoon's particle beam exploded on the Zergling's body, turning it into a pile of charred and smelly garbage …
The Protoss army, which had broken off from the rest of the Zerg force, suddenly chased after the Zerg force like a bayonet, setting off a storm of blood in the darkness!
Until …
Until the arrangements made by the Queen of Blades before she left played a huge role!
***
Sheyan pounced out in a somewhat sorry state. Behind him, the unfamiliar sound of metal clashing could be heard. The soil on the ground was churned up, and sharp air waves of more than half a meter high surged up like a tide.
These shockwaves were not simple shockwaves, but Lurker blades that contained terrifying murderous intent. As long as a target burrowed into the ground, the Lurker could launch their spikes at the target through the ground. These spikes would cause the same amount of damage to all the troops on the way to the target.
Evading the first sneak attack was merely a coincidence. However, when the second sneak attack arrived, he could no longer conceal his true strength. Because from afar, a scorched yellow hydralisk had appeared. That hydralisk seemed to be having fun squirting here and there.
But when Sheyan caught sight of the Hydralisk from the corner of his eye, his heart sank. Every time that damned special Hydralisk spat out a mouthful of saliva, it would target a dying Protoss unit. Every time it attacked, it would kill!
Seeing that the burnt yellow Hydralisk in the distance had begun to turn around and slowly move its body towards them, Sheyan could not help but shout.
"Help!!"
Sheyan's shout was answered by a faint "ding dong" sound. On this messy battlefield, everyone knew what this clear sound represented.
It was the "ding dong" sound produced by the Protoss "Scouts". These small unmanned drones could be used to scout vast areas that had not been explored, or to observe and record battles for the Protoss scholars to study in the archives.
Because they were installed with very complex sensor arrays, they did not have any extra energy to defend themselves, but they could easily detect invisible or hidden troops. This alone greatly increased their importance on the battlefield.
Scouts usually did not carry any defensive systems when they flew at low altitudes to scout the surrounding area, but if they were used in a combat zone, they could be equipped with a layer of invisible force field to prevent the enemy from discovering them. Just like the Arbiter, they did not need any extra energy to maintain this invisible force field.
Along with the appearance of the "Scout" that could detect invisible units, the Lurker that was hiding underground also revealed itself. It was behind a rock 40 meters away!
That was enough.
Sheyan had been fighting tenaciously with this enemy that he could not see. Although it was only a short ten seconds, it felt like a few centuries. This time, the main body of the Lurker appeared in front of him. Sprinting halfway, Sheyan knelt down on one knee and curled up his entire body, forcefully withstanding the Lurker's' Sawtooth 'attack. Blood splattered out from his body as he burst forward, breaking through a distance of tens of metres. Then, he viciously raised his fist and smashed it against the soft soil!
Soil flew everywhere. The Lurker underground could feel the powerful force and pain coming from above. It let out an unwilling wail. Sheyan vented his frustration by throwing seven or eight punches at the Lurker, until the Lurker underground burst into a large pool of blood. Only then did Sheyan stop.
But at this time, Sheyan found that he had been targeted by a ferocious enemy. It was that lazy Hydralisk! This guy was actually a heroic unit! That was why so many heroic units in the expedition were still trapped in a bitter battle.
Although Kerrigan the Queen of Blades had left, she had obviously anticipated this move by the Protoss race.
So, she had left behind enough Zerg heroic units!
Elite against elite, hero against hero!
It seemed that not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of tactics, Kerrigan the Queen of Blades was better than the legendary Uraki of the Protoss race! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
