I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

After speaking, Theresa gave her men a brief reminder to be careful. At the same time, Theresa began to set up a defensive line, and the SCVs sent from the Hyperion quickly built bunkers and missile turrets.

Once the defensive facilities were ready, siege tanks were also set up near the intersections on both sides, and any Taldarim Protoss that dared to come over would be blasted to pieces.

After Theresa set up her defenses, the Taldarim's offensive gradually intensified. In addition to the Immortals, Archons and Colossi appeared, clearly indicating that the enemy was determined to take down this human base.

However, the immortals, governors, and colossi were also blown up by the laser drills, and the remaining scattered forces were no match for the siege tanks.

Theresa yawned as she watched the Taldarim Protoss being blasted away by the cannon fire. In a sense, defensive missions like this were quite simple, especially with a powerful laser drill in the air, making the task much easier.

At that moment, Theresa suddenly smelled the aroma of grilled sausages in the command center. Sniffing the air, Theresa looked behind her and saw Yhaka setting up a grill and grilling sausages not far away.

Seeing this, Theresa's eye twitched slightly, and she said:

"Youyou, what are you doing???"

“(?w?)......”

Hearing Theresa's words, Yuhaka, who was grilling sausages, looked up at Theresa with a gaze that seemed to say, "You're an idiot." Couldn't he see that Yuhaka was grilling sausages? When Theresa saw herself being looked at like an idiot by Yuhaka, she felt a strange sensation welling up inside her.

Why am I seen as an idiot by idiots?!

However, Theresa felt that if she argued with an idiot, then she would really be an idiot. Afterwards, Theresa asked Yuhaka for a skewer of grilled sausages to try. Yuhaka's grilled sausages were pretty good. It was at this moment that Theresa received news that Taldarim had sent air force units to approach. Theresa was a little flustered when she heard this news.

After all, they don't have any air force units, and it's a bit late to ask the Hyperion to send Goliath armed robots and Wraith fighters. However, they still have a powerful weapon on their side.

Thinking this, Theresa looked at Yhaka, who was stuffing a grilled sausage into his mouth. Yhaka noticed Theresa's gaze, stopped what he was doing, and after a moment of staring at Theresa with his mouth wide open, quickly hid the sausage behind his back and said:

"This belongs to Youyou! I won't give it to you!"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Theresa almost spat water onto Yuhaka's face, but fortunately, Theresa didn't spit out any water, otherwise a hunger fight would have been inevitable.

Chapter 1076 [Shocking Zeratul]

After Theresa's explanation, Yhaka understood what Theresa wanted him to do. So Yhaka stuffed the grilled sausage into his mouth and ran out. The air force outside was basically no match for Yhaka.

Both the reconnaissance aircraft and the Void Radiance were reduced to fireworks in the sky by Yhwach's destruction, and even the Taldarim governor was unaware of what was happening.

After all, Yuhaka used his sword to cut down the flying vehicle, so the attack trajectory was basically invisible, making it look like a self-destruction.

The battles that followed were much easier. Because of Yhwach, the Taldarim Protoss governors dared not send out air forces to launch attacks indiscriminately. Moreover, because of the laser drills, the Taldarim governors dared not send out ground troops either, as any Protoss combat units that posed a threat to the defensive positions would be eliminated as soon as they appeared.

What followed was much simpler. Because the Tal'darim dared not leave their homes, Renault and his allies began to act recklessly. Laser drills would be used to break open the gates of the surrounding ruins, and then the Protoss artifacts inside would be taken out. The Tal'darim governors were furious but dared not speak out. After all, with the laser drills there, along with the large number of siege tanks, Goliathic armed robots on the ground, and the invisible Wraith fighters in the air, the Tal'darim governors were no match for these cunning and treacherous humans. Sometimes, the Tal'darim governors even wondered if they were Tal'darim or if the other side was Tal'darim.

Perhaps only the Death Fleet can wipe out all these humans?

However, to the Tadalín governor's surprise, those humans actually set their sights on him. The laser drill had an extremely long range, and as long as there were no obstructions within its range, it was basically not a problem. The only problem was that it needed a coordinate and a line of sight.

So Yhaka acquired a laser sight, the same one that Ghost Agent carried, except one was for guiding lasers and the other for guiding nuclear weapons.

With his absolute stealth ability, Yhaka could easily slip into the Taldarim base and then point out the location of the target building to Swan and his men.

After that, Tadarin suffered the consequences.

The main reason for attacking the Tal'darim Protoss base is that they will be taking out the artifacts from the temple later. If they are attacked by the Tal'darim at that time, it will be difficult to bring the items back. So they simply wiped out the surrounding Tal'darim bases.

In the end, the Taldarim governor could only slink away, and he even cursed Renault as he left.

Renault was unmoved by the Taldarim governor's insults; after all, there were plenty of people who wanted to insult him, and Renault didn't mind having one more.

.......................................................................

After obtaining the third artifact fragment, Renault received funds from Tychus's employer, who did not pursue the matter of the laser drill that Renault and his team had taken. Obviously, the other party did not care about these things. However, for Renault, the fact that they did not use this as a reason to deduct his funds was a relief.

In the armory, Swann briefly inspected the laser drill. This time, the laser drill had been used a bit too much, and many parts needed to be replaced with new ones, otherwise it would be damaged in the next battle.

Renault agreed to Swann's request, since the Rangers weren't short of money these days.

In any case, the operation was successfully completed, and Renault, as always, spent some time at the bar before making any decisions.

......a few hours later...

The Hyperion is at around 2 AM UTC...

A strangely shaped, eerie green spaceship stealthily crept into the Hyperion's vicinity from the shadows, but neither the watchmen on the bridge nor the radar detected any trace of this eerie vessel.

A tall figure wearing a tattered black cloak appeared on the strange spaceship. The owner of this figure was none other than the former Dark High Priest Zeratul.

Zeratul clutched his injured arm and looked around for an entrance to the Hyperion. Soon, he found one and crawled inside.

After entering the Hyperion, Zeratul used the Dark Templar's signature stealth technique to conceal himself. Once hidden, Zeratul moved through the Hyperion's corridors like a shadow, unnoticed by anyone.

However, there is one exception.

Yhaka looked at the tall, tattered-cloak Zeratul in front of him with a puzzled expression, clearly wondering why a Protoss would appear here.

However, this did not stop Ehaka from quietly approaching Zeratul's position behind him and secretly taking out Baradion. Of course, if the opponent was murderous, Ehaka would pull out the Demonbane.

Ehaka, wielding his greatsword form, thrust at Zeratul from behind. Zeratul, sensing the danger behind him, used Blink to dodge Ehaka's attack and teleported about ten meters behind Ehaka to see who had attacked him.

But Zeratul was dumbfounded when he saw the figure of the person who attacked him. The figure standing not far in front of him was a short human with a strange tail, sharp horns, and beast ears. However, compared to humans, Zeratul felt more like a Zerg. But compared to Zerg, the Zerg scent on this child was purer, not like the violent and bloody feeling of Zerg, but rather like the feeling of nature.

After seeing his opponent dodge, Yhaka turned around and looked at Zeratul with a puzzled expression, wondering if Zeratul's Flash technique was somewhat similar to the Flash he had used before.

Before Zeratul could react, Ehaka used Zeratul's Blink to appear behind him and stab him from behind again. Zeratul's eyes widened when he saw Ehaka use the Dark Templar's Blink, clearly not expecting Ehaka to use the Dark Templar's Blink.

Chapter 1077 [Zeratul: Trying to Deceive Me! Trying to Ambush Me!]

Surprised as he was, Zeratul was no pushover. As one of the oldest Dark Templars, his centuries of combat experience were not to be taken lightly. Accompanying Yhaka's attack, Zeratul performed a slight backflip, leaping into the narrow corridor of the ship and landing on the spine of Yhaka's sword. It seemed he wanted to use his body weight to press Yhaka's weapon to the ground. However, Zeratul underestimated the strength in Yhaka's hand.

Even with Zeratul stepping on the spine of Yhhaka's greatsword, Yhhaka held the Baradion as if it were just a dragonfly perched on it. Zeratul was shocked by Yhhaka's monstrous strength. Although the Dark Templar's armor wasn't like the heavy armor worn by Zealots, but rather just a few small protective gear, the Protoss's two-meter-tall stature was undeniable. After all, the Protoss weren't made of paper, were they?

Before Zeratul could react, Yhaka reached out and swung his little fist at him. Zeratul reacted quickly and grabbed Yhaka's outstretched fist with his uninjured hand. The monstrous strength he felt made Zeratul's entire arm go numb. If he hadn't known beforehand that this little guy was very strong, Zeratul might have been sent flying.

"Wait, I won't—"

Before Zeratul could finish speaking, a fist sprouted from Yhaka's massive tail. This fist, crackling with electricity, flew towards Zeratul's face as if spring-loaded. Zeratul saw the fist coming from Yhaka's tail, but he couldn't react in time. Luckily, he had his plasma shield, otherwise... *poof!*

To Zeratul's surprise, Yhaka's lightning-infused fist easily passed through his plasma shield and struck him directly in the face. Zeratul was sent flying, crashing into a wall and falling unconscious.

Seeing that the Protoss had been knocked unconscious by him, Yuhaka had a question mark on his face. He obviously didn't expect that the Protoss was so weak that it was knocked out by Yuhaka's punch.

Yhaka sneaked up to the Protoss and poked Zeratul with his Baradion, which had transformed into a stick. When there was no response, Yhaka made an "OwO~" face, took out a rope from the dimensional portal, and tied Zeratul up like a worm. Then, Yhaka happily lifted up the worm-like Zeratul and ran towards the bridge.

Horner was on duty at the bridge, and his break was just a few minutes away. Suddenly, he heard cheerful footsteps outside the bridge entrance. He knew it was Yhaka's footsteps, but why would Yhaka be at the Hyperion's bridge at this time?

That was a problem, but Horner soon found out.

As the bridge doors opened, Horner saw Yhaka carrying a Protoss bound up like a worm as he walked in. Horner was dumbfounded by this sight, clearly not expecting Yhaka to bring a Protoss to the bridge.

"Little Pony~ Youyou caught a little thief OwO~"

"A thief?!"

Hearing Yhaka's words, Horner also recovered from the shock just now. Obviously, Yhaka's statement that this Protoss was a thief had left Horner a little confused. If this Protoss was sent by the Taldarim to assassinate Raynor, Horner would not be surprised, but to say that he was a thief, what is there to steal on the Hyperion?

Oh, right, and the artifacts they stole from the Tal'darim Protoss, they probably want to take them back, right?

Horner then noticed the appearance of the Protoss that Yhaka had brought over. Although most Protoss look similar to humans, there are still some features and tone of voice that can tell what kind of Protoss someone is.

For example, right now, Horner can tell from the clothing of the Protoss that the one Yhaka brought is a Nerazim Protoss, and obviously not a Taldarim Protoss.

Most importantly, Horner thought the Protoss in front of him looked familiar, so he instructed Yhaka to carefully put the Protoss down and contact his superior first.

A while later, Renault also arrived at the bridge of the Hyperion...

Raynor looked completely bewildered when he heard that Yhaka had captured a Nerazim Protoss. However, due to his doubts, Raynor came to the bridge to confirm whether it was true.

Then Renault saw Zeratul lying on the ground and looked at him with a surprised expression, saying:

"Zeratul?! Why is he here?!"

Hearing Raynor's words, Horner was also wondering why this Protoss looked so familiar. He was obviously an old friend, but so many years had passed. How did Zeratul suddenly appear on the Hyperion?

Raynor looked at Zeratul, who was unconscious and tied up, with a puzzled expression. Why was Zeratul here? In response to Raynor's question, Yhaka, who was standing nearby, raised her hand and said:

"It was Youyou who caught it!"

Upon hearing Yhaka's words, Raynor looked at Yhaka with a shocked expression. Although Zeratul was already several hundred years old, he still possessed considerable combat power. Back in Aiur, taking down a Hydralisk with a single strike was no problem for him.

However, to Reno's surprise, Yhaka actually had the ability to subdue Zeratul, which gave Reno a certain understanding of Yhaka's strength. But why did Zeratul come here?

Renault turned to Yhaka beside him and asked:

"Youyou, how did you meet Zeratul?"

Regarding Raynor's question, Yhaka truthfully recounted his brutal beating of Zeratul to Raynor and the others. After hearing Yhaka's feat, Raynor stroked his somewhat unkempt beard, took a breath of the cool air from the Hyperion, and complained a little:

"Why did Zeratul sneak onto my ship? He could have just told me directly. Do you think I wouldn't welcome him?"

Horner thought for a moment about his superior's complaints and then said to Renault:

"Well, sir, I think... he might have some reason."

Hearing Horner's words, Renault shook his head and said:

"I hope so, Youyou. Let's untie the ropes binding him first. He's not our enemy."

Upon hearing Renault's words, Yhwach nodded and then swung the Baradion at the ropes, instantly cutting the ropes binding Zeratul.

Chapter 1078 [Doomsday Prophecy]

After Yhaka cut the ropes binding Zeratul, Zeratul began to regain consciousness.

"Woo..."

Zeratul, rubbing his slightly dizzy head, stood up from the cold floor. Renault, standing beside him, immediately helped him up.

"Hey, Zeratul, how are you doing?"

Upon hearing Renault's words, Zeratul shook his head, snapping out of his daze, and grabbed Renault's hand, saying:

"I'm fine, Renault, my friend. That kid went easy on me."

Then, remembering something, Zeratul looked at Yhwach and asked curiously:

"Child, where did you learn void energy from?"

Upon hearing Zeratul's question, Yhaka looked at Zeratul with a puzzled expression, as if he didn't understand what Zeratul was talking about. Reno, who was standing next to him, explained to Zeratul that, to be honest, they didn't know that Yhaka had Void Psionic Power either, but those moves were all things that Yhaka had figured out on his own, and that was just a few days ago.

Zeratul was also completely bewildered by Raynor's explanation. He saw that Yhaka's use of Dark Templar Blink didn't look like that of a beginner who had just entered the path of the Dark Templar, but rather like that of a master-level Dark Templar.

If it weren't for his own heavy responsibilities, Zeratul would have wanted to become Yhhaka's teacher, since a genius like Yhhaka is extremely rare even among Sargeras.

Then, as if remembering something, Renault looked at Zeratul with a curious expression and asked:

"By the way, Zeratul, what brings you to my ship by sneaking around?"

Upon hearing Raynor's words, Zeratul remembered his purpose for infiltrating the area and spoke to Raynor in a serious tone:
