2786. The black hand appears

Jobar, on the periphery of this huge gas giant planet, several satellites have been completely enveloped in flames.

Ten large Protoss battleships were in front of these satellites, firing a powerful beam directly from the bow. Under the irradiation of this terrible beam, the surface of the satellite rapidly turned into lava, and there was a sea of fire everywhere.

Aili Satellite, Nogu Satellite, these test sites that were once used by Abathur to breed Togot Swarm are now being completely burned by Protoss Executor Fleet in the name of purification. Selendis stood in front of the flagship observation platform, staring at the burning celestial body, without any fluctuation in his eyes.

The burning satellite demonstrates the power of Protoss and declares their determination.

The insect swarm, no matter where it comes from, must be completely purified!

These 10 aircraft carriers are one-third of the current Protoss fleet. Each aircraft carrier is 1,333 meters long and is piloted by a High Templar. His spiritual power resonates with the core of the ship and controls the actions of the warships and the thousands of drones they carry.

Except for this one High Templar, there are only a few "engineers (Huragok)" in Protoss Carrier who are responsible for daily maintenance.

That's right, compared to humans, the "engineer" race prefers to stay with Protoss in Kingdom of Dawn's establishment, learning and researching Protoss's battleship technology. Relatively speaking Unlike other places where it is very difficult to recruit "engineers", or they can be assigned directly through High Command, each of Protoss's aircraft carriers has several "engineers" working on it.

The addition of these "engineers" has also greatly alleviated the shortcomings of Protoss's current serious population shortage. Moreover, the extremely high adaptability of "engineers" also allows them to adapt well to the Kyber Crystal matrix environment full of waste ions, thus allowing the power core of Protoss Carrier to maintain good operation at all times.

Under such circumstances, the aircraft carrier of Protoss is undoubtedly one dimension higher than the Sky drone mothership of Holy Advent Cult, which is also a drone carrier. In order for Holy Advent Cult to control Sky drone mothership, there must be a choir singing in the church in the battleship, and specialized operators are needed to control the drones. In addition, damage control personnel and engineers are also indispensable.

Calculated, a total of 150 people are needed as a team. Only in this way can the 350-meter-long drone carrier be controlled to fight.

To control a 1333-meter Protoss Carrier and thousands of Interceptor drone, one High Templar is enough.

One High Templar can control thousands of drones with pure thoughts, and the performance of these Interceptor drone is definitely not comparable to the Swarm Drones used by the Kingdom of Dawn Consul-class drone mothership.

Even if drones are not used, the particles Star-destroying cannon equipped on these aircraft carriers still have devastating destructive power. If this kind of Star-destroying cannon is used in space combat, it is not practical because of its short range, narrow shooting angle and long charging time, but when used with Orbital Bombardment, it can exert unparalleled power.

The insect swarm that Abathur worked hard to cultivate here was wiped out by Protoss, not even the scum was left, and he himself was arranged to go to another direction of Chiss territory, at the edge of the former Illumine Kingdom of Kilji territory, to conduct his own insect swarm experiment again.

He began to search for the next most suitable race, focusing on those genetic samples that could still survive in extreme environments. This was a story later.

At this moment, Jobar, Holy Advent Cult Archon Ronnis are also continuing to track Psionic Link behind Kilik Swarm.

After two days of busy work, Ronnis suddenly summoned Sefrans-Tann, Selendis and others to the church, and displayed a star map in front of them.

This star map is completely different from any universe model they have seen before. This star map is completely composed of the light of Psionics. In it, a winding and complex hyperspace channel is clearly marked.

"What is this place?" Sefrans-Tann asked.

"I have received the guidance of the Unity, and in the vision of the God Realm, I saw them..." Ronnis said slowly, "The dazzling vitality is almost comparable to any mechanical creation. They are connected by countless Psionics, and they are like one body. And what blocks us from Fefze is only a small part of them."

"You mean Fefze's swarm of hundreds of millions of insects that blocked us for a month is only a small part of it?" Sefrans-Tann was a little surprised.

Protoss executive officer Selendis said, "I have also checked the previous battle reports. Judging from this time, it is completely impossible for Kilik Swarm to breed such a huge number. They simply cannot find enough energy to breed. Behind this, there is definitely a force we don't know about."

Cardinal Adra said, "Then we need to break through Fefze as soon as possible, and then continue to move forward along Psionic Link of Kilik Swarm."

"A head-on confrontation is absolutely impossible, we don't have enough time." Sefrans-Tann shook his head, "Admiral Qiyala has already found it difficult to defend Chiss territory The border. Recently, there have been more and more intrusions by Kilik Swarm. In the past month, the number of people who have become Joiner due to the erosion of Kilik Swarm has reached more than 30,000."

Adra said, "The Pope has mobilized the power of the whole church to resist the erosion of Kilik Swarm for Chiss territory. Under the watchful eye of Eye of Truth, Joiner has no escape. We will also purify those who have been corroded and assimilated."

"Holy Advent Cult is indeed working very hard, but this is not a long-term solution. With our current military strength, it is difficult to completely stop Kilik Swarm's infiltration." Chiss territory Governor Shien-Morabito said.

"This place." Sefrans-Tann walked forward and tapped a place on the star map, "This is where a large number of Psionic Link gather. We will raid here directly."

Everyone looked in this direction and frowned.

In fact, everyone can see that this place is where all Psionic Link gather, and behind this place, there is darkness. That darkness is not nothingness, but a dead zone that Psionics cannot touch. Even Archon Ronnis cannot detect it now.

But the problem is that there are many Psionic Link nodes scattered around the periphery of this place, some of which are even brighter than the Fefze blocking their fleet.

This shows that the insect swarms gathered in these places may be larger than the hundreds of millions of insects in Fefze!

Such a number is simply despairing. If Ronnis and Psionics hadn't investigated, they wouldn't even have known that Kilik Swarm had bred to such a terrifying number!

If it weren't for Kilik Swarm There are too few species capable of hyperspace now, and the entire galaxy would be shocked when these swarms of insects emerged!

But Sefrans-Tann said with great determination, "This is it! If we destroy it directly, then the Kilik Swarm and Psionic Link in other places will be cut off!"

"Attacking this place directly is almost equal to death. You have to think carefully." Shien-Morabito said.

"No! It's not to die." Selendis said suddenly, "My Executor Fleet will carry out this raid mission."

Everyone present turned to look at her. Unexpectedly, a few days ago she almost caused the entire expeditionary force to fall apart because of the Togot Swarm incident. However, a few days later, she was very determined to carry out this almost suicidal mission.

"I will also select warships from the fleet that can carry out long-distance raids and attack together." Sefrans-Tann said.

Cardinal Adra said, "Except for Archon Ronnis's ship Apocalypse, we do not have any warships capable of long-distance raids. Then, I will lead the remaining fleet to launch a full-scale attack on Fefze. For the Unity!"

At this time, Shien-Morabito, who was participating in the meeting remotely through holographic projection, suddenly started to applaud. Now he looked casual again, waving his hands and saying, "It's great to see you guys so ambitious. I can't help but participate, hahahaha!"

Sefrans-Tann said sternly, "You should not come to the front line. Handling Chiss territory's affairs is your first priority, right? Your Majesty the Governor."

"Haha, of course I won't come here to get involved in your shabby affairs." Shien-Morabito laughed heartlessly, "It's just that I've got reinforcements for you. If the time is correct, they will arrive tomorrow."

"Are there any reinforcements?" Sefrans-Tann finally relaxed his brows.

"Ah, a batch of Tyran Heavy Industries new warships specially built to fight against the insect swarm." Shien-Morabito said, wagging their fingers, "Then, because His Majesty the King cannot go out in seclusion, and his two pets are unsupervised, they were also sent here."

"Pet?" Sefrans-Tann was stunned.

"Take a day off. I will prepare one of my favorite delicacies for each of you in the reinforcement battleship." Shien-Morabito laughed and closed the communication.

After the projection dissipated, the command room fell into a brief silence.

Sefrans-Tann turned to look at Selendis and said, "I didn't expect that you would actually support my strategy."

"My mission is to eliminate all Kilik Swarm. I haven't changed anything." Selendis said calmly.

"Even if such a strategy may lead to death?" Sefrans-Tann asked.

"Protoss is never afraid of death. Even if we die, our souls will return to Khala. Although we have cut off the connection with Khala, in the void, the souls of our ancestors are still watching us." Selendis said.

"You guys Protoss and Holy Advent Cult should be able to talk easily." Sefrans-Tann said.

"I did not come alone." Selendis suddenly said, "The noble elder, High Templar Aldrion (Aldrion) followed my fleet to Chiss territory. He has already gone to Holy Advent Cult via Csilla. I believe Holy Advent Cult can get help from this elder."

Archon Ronnis bowed deeply to Selendis and said, "I have learned about this from the Pope. She had a great conversation with Aldrion and benefited a lot. Aldrion's wisdom is like the ancient stars, illuminating the direction of the Unity for us."

Selendis did not speak, but conveyed a feeling of relief to everyone present, then turned and left.

Sefrans-Tann let out a sigh of relief. She felt like she had been hanging out with these gangsters all day, as if she didn't even have the intention to curse. Now Holy Advent Cult was not included, and here came another even more awesome Protoss... She rubbed her temples and looked out the window at the dark universe. She seemed to have guessed who those two "pets" were.

A day later, the hyperspace probe sent an alert.

Before Sefrans-Tann could reach the podium, he heard a burst of sweet but arrogant laughter.

"Hahahahahaha! I'm finally here again!"

Sefrans-Tann looked at the projection that was gradually taking shape in front of him, and said calmly, "It is indeed you, Das-Lilim."

A slender Tusken woman wearing a black tights appeared in the holographic projection. She was extremely beautiful, with a enchanting posture, and her blood-colored eyes were flashing with a breathtaking light. The Lieku (Tusken's tentacles) on the left side of her head had been cut off and replaced by a string of beautiful crystals.

They are the disciples of Das-Lilim, King of Dawn Das-Malthael.

Previously, she followed Darth-Malthael on his expedition to Northern Territory, but under the suppression of her master, she just behaved honestly and did not do anything out of the ordinary.

It seems that because Das-Malthael cannot come out of seclusion, she has come out again.

But what was even more eye-catching was that she actually held a chain in her hand, and on the other end was a beautiful half-human, half-animal woman!

This woman's body is covered with fine silver-blue scales, and there is a long tail behind her. There is a layer of ice crystal armor covering her body, and the ice crystals condense into a crown on the top of her head. Such a unique beauty, coupled with her hot figure without any strands, really has a forbidden charm.

Sefrans-Tann frowned slightly. She recognized this half-human, half-animal woman as the former Galactic Empire Inquisitorius Grand Judge Hydra, who later became Darth-Malthael's pet and named her "Wheel of Fortune".

"So, you brought this pet here to relax?" Sefrans-Tann raised his eyebrows.

Das-Lilim looked at her curiously and asked, "This doesn't look like you? What's going on? You were locked up by the master for a while and you were made stupid?"

"It doesn't matter. You will be like this after you have been here for a while." Sefrans-Tann said calmly.

Das-Lilim looked around and saw Adra, the small magic stick, Ronnis, the middle magic stick, and Protoss, the big magic stick Selendis. He snorted and shook his head. The string of crystals made a tinkling sound, "No, I just think... this is very interesting!"
