In the sky.
The Protoss fleet hovered for ten minutes, and the battlefield below gradually calmed down.
The Zerg army withdrew, and the Protoss fleet in the sky exerted a powerful presence, preventing the two hybrid species from making any rash moves.
The characteristics of the Hybrid Destroyer are more extreme than those of the Hybrid Raider.
The Protoss fleet remained inactive for ten minutes, driving many of the Hybrid Destroyers shrouded in mist into a frenzy.
Roars echoed as the Protoss fleet descended. Once the pressure reached its threshold, the frenzied Hybrid Destroyers launched an attack on the Protoss fleet.
Waves of psionic shockwaves shot up into the sky, the dark purple energy bombarding the Protoss fleet.
The Protoss fleet in the sky was originally an advance team, scouting the environment of the desolate wilderness.
Without any preparation, they were completely unable to withstand the ferocious collective bombardment of the [Hybrid Destroyer].
The explosions were continuous, like a fuse, igniting one warship after another.
In an instant, the entire sky was filled with explosions.
The vast Protoss fleet was almost completely wiped out by a single attack from the Hybrid Destroyer.
While marveling at the power of the hybrid creatures, Su Bai also harbored doubts about the true strength of the Protoss fleet.
Is the Protoss fleet really as strong as Kerrigan claims?
...
...
Meanwhile, in the sky.
A massive fleet lies suspended in the clouds, bathed in the light of countless stars.
Its dazzling light made even the glaring sunlight pale in comparison.
Such a massive interstellar fleet is naturally the fully-fledged Golden Fleet that Kerrigan spoke of.
The ships were as numerous as the stars, with the central flagship—the Spear of Adun—at the very center.
The enormous Spear of Adun is the heart and linchpin of the entire Golden Fleet.
On the bridge.
Artanis, the Protoss Archbishop and Commander of the Golden Fleet, stood with his hands behind his back at the edge of the bridge, gazing at the surging sea of clouds below the fleet.
Just now, he dispatched an advance fleet to the marked coordinates to eliminate those damned Zerg and rescue Serandis.
According to his estimation, those Zerg should be far from being a significant threat, and the dispatched fleet should be able to handle them easily.
"How could there be such a thick fog in this area?"
Artanis noticed the faint gray mist emerging beneath the sea of clouds, but didn't pay it much attention.
"Commander, urgent report!"
"The advance fleet has been completely annihilated; battle reports and images are being uploaded!"
The Protoss fleet staff hurriedly reported the shocking bad news.
"What?! The entire army wiped out?!"
Artanis's expression hardened.
How could these damned alien insects grow so fast?
"Take me to see the battle reports and footage."
The chief of staff led Artanis, whose face was ashen, into the central control room of the Spear of Adun.
This place can connect to all ships, and similarly, it can remotely receive information from other ships.
Before the advance team was completely wiped out, it successfully transmitted the collected images to the Spear of Adun's central control.
The chief of staff opened the video, and a desolate wilderness appeared before Artanis.
Artanis frowned, looking at the Zerg army that appeared first on the screen, a hint of surprise in his heart.
These Zerg are indeed very powerful, but they seem to have no anti-air combat skills at all. How did they manage to wipe out the advance team in an instant?
"Commander, please look down here."
Below the advance fleet, 100,000 hybrid creatures appeared in the image.
"A hybrid of Protoss and Zerg?" Artanis exclaimed in shock.
How could there be such an evil and disgusting hybrid!
Admittedly, both the Zerg and Protoss have unique advantages in certain aspects.
The two hybrid creatures in the video seem to combine characteristics of both the Protoss and the Zerg.
When the psionic shockwaves of the Hybrid Destroyer engulfed the advance fleet, Artanis's eyes were filled with extreme worry.
He couldn't possibly fail to see that these evil hybrids were using psychic power.
"All fleets, cease standby status!"
Artanis realized the seriousness of the situation.
The hybrid creature before him was beyond his comprehension.
Moreover, Artanis astutely noticed a detail.
These terrifying hybrid creatures seemed to have emerged from the mist.
In other words, there are more than 100,000 hybrid organisms!
The Golden Fleet was not without the ability to annihilate 100,000 raiders and destroyers.
But what if it were 500,000, 1 million, or even tens of millions?
At this thought, Artanis felt as if his breath would freeze.
These extremely malevolent Hybrid Raiders and Hybrid Destroyers will be an existence that the Protoss will be completely unable to contend with.
Every raider and destroyer displayed combat power hundreds of times greater than their nemesis, the Zerg, as seen in the footage!
"Commander, these guys are terrifying. Should we temporarily abandon the rescue operation for the vice commander?"
The chief of staff was astonished by the terrifying strength of the hybrid creature, but such a hybrid creature could not pose a threat to the Protoss fleet above the clouds for the time being.
As the commander, Artanis clearly had more to consider.
"Chief of Staff, running away won't solve anything. These hybrid creatures will be a catastrophe."
"We also cannot abandon Serandis."
"Perhaps we should put aside our conflict with the Zerg for now."
The Protoss and Zerg have a history that is not one of mortal conflict.
In the current situation, the Hybrid Destroyer and the Hybrid Raider will clearly be their common enemy.
This enemy is incredibly powerful and brutal.
Therefore, setting aside prejudices against the Zerg and choosing to cooperate to fight against the hybrid creatures is currently the most reasonable solution.
"Golden Fleet, descending at low altitude!"
Artanis issued the order.
Led by the Spear of Adun, the mighty golden fleet traversed the sea of clouds and descended upon the desolate wilderness high above.
Within the Zerg territory.
The destruction of the vanguard of the Golden Fleet has given the entire Zerg army a brief respite.
This hard-won respite did not last long.
Soon, the Hybrid Destroyers and Hybrid Raiders regrouped.
On the devastated battlefield, the exhausted Zerg army faced two hybrid creatures, and the battle was no longer in doubt.
Just as Su Bai was about to temporarily relocate and teleport to the desolate desert.
The familiar light reappeared in the sky.
The 74.547-kilometer-long Spear of Adun pierced through the thick clouds and fog.
Leading countless starships, they descended upon the desolate wilderness.
"Energy storage, target, hybrid organism!"
Artanis looked down from his high vantage point at the hundred thousand destroyers and raiders scattered across the desolate wilderness and decisively issued his orders.
Endless light energy particles gathered at the Spear of Adun.
[Orbital bombardment fully charged]
Then, countless laser beams poured out from the muzzle of the Spear of Adun.
The light dispelled the fog that stretched for dozens of kilometers around the desolate wilderness.
The beam struck the thick black scales of the Hybrid Raider, instantly vaporizing the incredibly strong-looking raider.
The once indestructible hybrid army became easily defeated.
The Hybrid Destroyer, which was fortunate enough to escape the first wave of beams, attempted to counterattack, but was immediately vaporized by the second wave of orbital bombardment, which had been fully charged.
In the blink of an eye, two waves of orbital bombardment reduced 100,000 hybrid raiders and destroyers to ashes.
"This is the true Golden Fleet, and this is their central flagship—the Spear of Adun."
"High Priest Artanis of the Protoss, he has arrived."
Kerrigan said to Su Bai.
The heroes and Su Bai all looked up at the magnificent ship, feeling an overwhelming sense of oppression.
"Why don't they attack us?" Su Bai asked, thinking of the conflict between the Zerg and the Protoss.
Kerrigan turned her attention to the Hybrid Marauder and the Hybrid Destroyer.
"Right now, the conflict between the Zerg and the Protoss is not a matter of life and death, because we have a common enemy."
Hybrid creatures have no emotions; they are like a group of butchers.
Whether it's the Zerg or the Protoss, once they set their sights on you, it's a fight to the death.
After hearing Kerrigan's explanation, Su Bai felt that this was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
If it weren't for the Hybrid Destroyer and Hybrid Raider, and if the Protoss Golden Fleet hadn't discovered them, given the current strength of their territory, they might have been wiped out in one fell swoop.
