Chapter 221 Warp Network
Chapter 221 Warp Network
“Air…we’re finally back!” Artanis stood quietly on the magnificent bridge of the Spear of Adun, his deep and resolute eyes fixed on the ancient and tumultuous planet below—Air.
At this moment, four different colored Protoss fleets, like four dazzling rays of light, streaked across the sky and converged above this ancient Protoss homeland.
They represent four unique and long-standing Protoss cultures, and each fleet exudes an unparalleled aura of power.
Raynor, standing to the side, looked at Artanis with a grave expression and said slowly, "Kerrigan's Zerg swarm and the Imperial fleet will do their utmost to hold back the Golden Fleet, but the time they can buy for us will probably be quite limited."
Artanis nodded slightly, indicating that he understood the seriousness of the current situation.
At this moment, Lohana, who had already severed the nerve bundle, strode to the tactical console and began operating it skillfully.
Soon, a detailed map was displayed before everyone, clearly marking the specific locations of the warp network energy structures.
She pointed to the projection and said, “We still have a chance to delay the return of the Golden Fleet by destroying the energy structures of these warp networks. As far as I know, there are currently three such key locations, and they all have anima crystal arrays exposed on the surface as their energy source.”
If we can successfully carry out orbital bombardment, it may be possible to demolish those buildings.
After saying that, Lohana projected her carefully prepared battle plan onto the tactical platform.
The group gathered around and carefully studied the contingency plan. It detailed the exact locations of the three psionic crystals and the distribution of surrounding defensive structures.
What's challenging is that all three crystals are under tight protection, and even today they are still able to operate stably, continuously providing powerful energy support to the warp network.
“Our fleet will spend a lot of time and precious energy resources here,” Artanis thought to himself, staring at the data report before him.
At this point, there was still some time to spare, and he felt there was no need to commit too many troops to destroying those energy structures.
After all, the Protoss ground forces should focus their efforts on eliminating the rampaging and unchecked Zerg army on Aiur.
Today, the number of alien insects is growing rapidly at an unprecedented rate, and their individual quality is also constantly improving, showing an almost frenzied upward trend.
If their rampant expansion cannot be contained in time and effectively, these terrifying insects could very well overwhelm the entire Protoss race with their sheer numbers when the Protoss and Amon face off in their final showdown.
Under normal circumstances, the fleet's powerful orbital firepower is fully capable of withstanding the swarming attack of the Zerg.
However, after experiencing one thrilling Void event after another, both Artanis himself and other Protoss leaders knew perfectly well that Amon would never allow the Protoss fleet to fire at full force without restraint.
Moreover, the Protoss fleet must always be fully prepared to deal with the Golden Fleet.
You have to understand, that was the most powerful fleet in Protoss history!
The group's warships were attacking the Golden Fleet almost everywhere in the Koprulu Sector, and they also suffered a lot of losses due to the ancient weapons carried by the Golden Fleet.
As for the Blazing Sky Weapon, Artanis wasn't confident he could save the colossal warship in the anticipated fleet battle; he couldn't let his friend gamble something so important on the Protoss's revival.
Kirsage raised an eyebrow. If he did that, wouldn't he be unable to see the Archbishop disembark and fight?
“We can operate on two fronts simultaneously. Your fleet just needs to prepare to support and block the Golden Fleet,” Kearsarge suggested. “As for the personnel, Warspite and I will each take one, while Reynolds and Anakin will handle the one with the larger area. What do you think?”
“If you agree, then I have no objection.” Artanis glanced at the group members; he had complete faith in their ability to do so.
Kirsage gave Reno a look, and Reno shrugged. He had no objection, and so did the others.
“Then I will personally lead the Templars to reduce the number of Zerg on Aiur,” Artanis said firmly.
“Alright, if everyone is ready and has no questions, let’s set off immediately!” Standing to the side, Kirsage clapped her hands decisively. With her action, a large number of planetary suppression ships quickly adjusted their gun barrels and aimed at the designated landing site, followed by a dense and fierce orbital bombardment.
Countless dazzling beams of energy rained down, instantly turning the target area into a sea of fire.
At the same time, three massive planetary suppression ships, carrying dozens of drone carriers, slowly approached the location of the Spear of Adun.
In an instant, dazzling beams of light suddenly shone on the team members, and these beams intertwined to form a beautiful and magnificent scene.
In the blink of an eye, the crowd that had gathered on the bridge of the Spear of Adun had vanished without a trace.
Just then, the three nearby planetary suppression ships, protected by the powerful firepower of the drone mothership, plunged straight into the atmosphere of El Al like three sharp swords.
Wherever they passed, the air was violently rubbed together, producing rolling heat waves and deafening roars.
The mechanical Zerg, which was fighting tenaciously against the Amon swarm on the ground, soon noticed the threat from the sky. Faced with the overwhelming and fierce bombardment, they had to stop expanding their territory and quickly shrink their defenses to reduce losses.
To avoid becoming the focus of enemy attacks, these cunning mechanical Zerg even activated the optical camouflage system inside their swarm architecture, making the entire nest visually blurry.
Moreover, many relatively less important areas were abandoned without hesitation in order to concentrate resources on protecting the core areas.
Some of the more powerful mechanical Zerg chose to move underground, using the intricate network of tunnels to continue searching for more valuable resources for their colony.
"Unknown...Analysis...Protoss...Unknown...Observation."
The Zerg's central intelligence eventually concluded that it didn't know where it was, but the Protoss's arrival and the fleet's delayed firing made it realize that this planet was unusual.
