In the chapter of "StarCraft: Legacy of the Void", our Artanis , a prodigal son, led an army to attack the then El . As a result, it was precisely because of Artanis's onslaught that was hit. As a result, the whole army of the Protoss was destroyed in vain. You know, before the attack, our Zeratul appeared in front of him, and he persuaded Artanis to withdraw his troops. , because the current situation is not favorable to him.
Originally, if Artanis could listen to Zeratul's advice, the Protoss would not run away with the so-called Spear of Adon. Therefore, many people felt that Artanis is a prodigal son, and I feel that if he had listened, the situation would not be like this now, but if you think so, then I can only say that you may be really stupid. In fact, the real situation Even if Zeratul hadn't intervened to stop him, he knew there would be no good results this time.
Or to put it more bluntly, Artanis also knows that there may be a problem this time. In the eyes of many people, Artanis is a prodigal son. Indeed, this is nothing. You can question it, but if you really think that Artanis is a brainless commander, then you are totally wrong. In fact, Artanis's strength and ability are probably not inferior to those of Kerrigan next door. Or Jim Reynolds , even far more visionary than them.
The reason why he attacked Ayr was also forced by the situation. Sometimes, the situation is really not what we see. On the surface, Artanis only needs to withdraw his troops to preserve his strength and wait for the opportunity to start a war with Eamon. But you If you think so, you are wrong. In fact, this is not the case. On the contrary, Artanis has no choice because the situation of the Protoss is not as good as we have seen.
For many players, we have only seen the superficial phenomenon. The deeper reason is not Artanis’ personal problem, but the situation of the entire environment. In fact, since the fall of Aiur, the situation of the entire Protoss has changed. Not so good. In addition, after the Supreme Council of the Protoss was bloodbathed, the Protoss suddenly lost its backbone. At this time, the Protoss had a spearhead, and it was very likely that the Protoss would split.
At this time, how to win over people's hearts is the most critical factor. Although Artanis, the archbishop in the drama, has such a strong position, in fact, power is from the bottom up. Once the Protoss is divided internally, Artanis will This state-level leader may not be able to survive. At this time, what Artanis needs is how to win over everyone in the entire God Clan and unite everyone.
At this time, there are not many choices left for Artanis. Either he can wait until the disintegration of the Protoss begins, or he must try to do something to at least delay or delay the disintegration of the Protoss. At this time , for Artanis, attacking Aiur is the best choice. Aiur, as the mother planet and home of the Protoss, is the only thing that can make the people of the Protoss work together.
Therefore, Artanis made a big bet. He may know that Aier is a trap, and he even understands it, but he cannot do this. Choosing to withdraw his troops is choosing to completely split the Protoss. The protoss already has the spearhead of division. This At that time, if the split really happened, the Protoss would be completely destroyed. Therefore, Artanis could only choose to bet that if he could seize control of Aiur under his heavy attack, the Protoss would inevitably usher in a great unity. situation.
What if you lose? Just like Legacy of the Void, Artanis abandoned all his troops and took his remaining soldiers to start a work journey similar to Jim Raynor. Therefore, Artanis had no choice. He had to attack Aiur. If it really happened After listening to Zeratul's words, if the troops are withdrawn, it will not be long before the Protoss will most likely be divided. It is even possible that the Protoss will most likely be completely torn apart.
One final question: What do you think Artanis thinks?
