StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 273 Corrupt Antiga Government
A 25mm can-type copper bullet spun and landed on the hard reddish-brown soil of Antiga, making a shallow depression.

A Hydra Hydralisk whose spine was shattered by a 120mm concussion shell of an arc siege tank lowered its high head, and red blood trickled out from the bullet hole.

A 12-foot-tall Goliath-armed robot stomps a twitching gnat across a corpse-strewn battlefield, with the sound of bone-shattering surviving xenomorphs under its broad steel stable feet .

Augustus walked through the bloody battlefield, which was littered with the carapace-shattered and bloody corpses of garm swarms and human machinery.He walked up to a huge Hydralisk and kicked its brightly colored crown.

A dozen soldiers of the Revolutionary Army with C-14 Gauss rifles in both hands were walking past Augustus. The thrusters of the Vulture vehicles of the rangers flew over the soldiers' heads with ice-blue flames, attracting A few curses.

Among the soldiers passing by Augustus were the marines of Edmond Duke's Alpha Squadron. Their shiny white power armor and golden eagle emblem were quite eye-catching on the red land of Antiga. attention.

Under the order of General Edmund Duke, the commander of the Alpha Squadron of the Revolutionary Army, the resocialized soldiers in the squadron will repeatedly brush and clean their power armor made of new alloy steel every day to ensure that he can achieve the general's "shine" Quartet" requirements.

There are several transport planes hovering in the sky, and the bodies of the injured and the dead are being transported to the medical spaceship containing a large amount of medical equipment.

"The Hydralisk scrapped one of our Goliath Armors. We don't know how much it will cost to fix." Kerrigan fired another shot into the heart of the Hydralisk.

Some Revolutionary soldiers were doing the same thing as Kerrigan, rescuing the wounded while giving the tenacious zerg a second shot.Because dead Zerg cells rapidly bind to proteins and generate new cells, the monsters will slowly recover and reappear on the battlefield if they are not completely killed.

"I don't have time to get some souvenirs, Boss, we are still in a hurry to help justice." Lei Nuo opened his helmet with the pattern of the devil of heaven.

"Look at these carapaces, they are so hard as hell. These claws are so long that they can cut off a man's head, what a monster." Duke walked slowly towards Augustus, and he shook off his helmet. His head and scalp were slicked with oil.

"The alien monsters I encountered in Brutus were not one-ten-thousandth as scary as the Zerg," he said.

Duke's support came quickly, and the marines of Alpha Squadron became very brave, and immediately launched an attack on the Gum swarm behind Augustus and others, breaking the siege of the swarm.

Although the commander of Alpha Squadron is a reckless butcher and a strategic gambler, it is undeniable that the soldiers of Alpha Squadron have excellent military literacy and combat capabilities, otherwise they would not have been killed by the Kel-Morians in the past. I hate it to the bone.

"Come on, General, the last time you bragged about killing a few carnivorous beasts, we were as happy as if you just saved the world." Raynor shrugged.

"We are saving the world now." Duke was not very happy, he reminded Renault: "General Renault, you have to remember your identity, you are a general, there is no laughing and joking on the battlefield."

Duke and Raynor's line of heavenly demons are not very easy to deal with. He has a better relationship with people like Collins and Pryor who are both federal defectors and military officers.Similarly, Renault also looked down on Duke's cold-bloodedness and arrogance, and they always sneered at each other when they got together.

"I must have said something inappropriate," Raynor said.

Augustus tapped the crowned head of the hydra hydralisk in front of him with his dark gray power armor iron glove, which was covered with layers of chitin carapace: "Zerg Bjermengard of the Garm Swarm The bigger ones are, and the most notable difference is that they are faster and stronger."

Even with its brain dead, the monster's tough muscles were still taut, and its huge still-living heart was still beating, pumping blood out of its healing wound.

"In the zerg group, some individuals are obviously stronger than other individuals of the same species. This can be seen in the Zergling and the Hydralisk. I believe that the Ultralisk, Mutalisk, and even other This kind of individual exists in all worms, but we haven't encountered it yet."

"They are undoubtedly the elite individuals in their group, the kings of the same group, and the most powerful servants of the brain worms." Augustus said.

"If we want to kill these elite individuals, we need to pay a more painful price."

"Jimmy, the enemies we encounter will only get stronger. The zerg are still evolving, and they are as numerous as the sand on the sea. It takes us at least four months to train a warrior, and the leader of the zerg only needs one order, The swarm's hatchery produces billions of zerg."

"It's not fair, how the hell can it be like this." Renault cursed.

"This is the reality. It's the coffee and rotten clothes of the country bumpkins. It's the stinky sewers of the marginal planets. It's everything you can see when you open your eyes. It's terrible." Duke snorted: "The hairy guy from the Marine Corps The boys just throw soap at each other in the bathroom."

"This is war between races and races, not chess and sandbox games with fixed rules." Augustus said to Raynor: "The bugs will not tell you when they eat our colony, I am going to go this way." One step away."

"The Tyranid Federation may not have understood that the war between the Zerg and humans is related to the survival of the fate of a race. Either the human civilization continues to stand in the galaxy, or the endless darkness of the Zerg that engulfs everything."

"Go ahead. The cerebrates of the Gum Swarm may be far more cunning than we thought, and this won't be the only attack they launch," Augustus said.

"If I were it, I would patiently wait for humanity to let its guard down and make a fatal mistake."

"Hear that, guys, the worms are lying in their 'wet' chambers watching if we can make a mistake. But the tough guys of Augustus can never make a mistake." Raynor turned to the passing soldiers they shouted.

"We are the marshal's personal soldiers!"

Renault's words were immediately answered forcefully by the soldiers.

"Maybe the worms are in their lair watching those UNN idiots comment on the zerg on the TV, questioning human intelligence for the idiocy of these quarreling xenomorph experts," Duke said.

"There is no doubt that the Zerg can definitely do it." Augustus followed the advancing troops after finishing speaking.

"The cerebrates might find it funny when they find out that we gave their races various names according to mythology." Kerrigan walked behind Augustus.

He had to bypass the huge worm creature in front of him. The body of that swarm tunnel worm was like a stranded blue whale, and its dozens of tons body was scattered under the vicious sunlight of Antiga. With a disgusting pungent smell.

Augustus crossed the huge tunnel worm and followed the army all the way west.

The Andasal area, the capital of Antiga, is mostly flat land with hard soil, which is very suitable for human armored troops to gallop freely.What makes Augustus regret is that there is a lack of a stable water source here, that is, he thought that growing vegetables on the main star of Antiga would undoubtedly be quite difficult.

A Tyrann Federation military base outside the main city of Ansardar soon appeared on the HUD display in Augustus' helmet. A regular Federation Army battalion was once stationed in that large military base. It's just that the base is dead silent now.

The separation wall and the iron grille outside the military base are covered with a sticky, creep-like attachment, like muscle that has torn the skin open.A huge command center has completely turned dark brown, as if wrapped in moldy yogurt, like a brown rotten apple wilting in the sun.

Only the radar is still functioning in the base, but no one knows who is controlling those devices.In the past, there were always scavengers hovering on the battlefield of Antiga, but now there is not even half a living thing here.

"This is really weird." Renault said, pointing to the outer wall outside the military base.

"What the hell, isn't it?" Kerrigan said. "The zerg infested this military base, and the people inside were either turned into monsters or eaten bone to bone."

"Blast it, or who knows what scarier monsters will pop out of it," Duke said.

The outer walls of the military base were covered with purple-black flesh-colored vines and spines with snot-like membranous wings attached, and it didn't take long for Augustus to discover that the vines were deformed human intestines.

"General Duke is right, these monsters can no longer be allowed to harm people." Augustus ordered.

"Blow up these buildings."

A company of Goliath armed robots and about [-] arc tanks surrounded the dead base. A large number of Revolutionary Army soldiers began to replace grenade launchers and short-barreled grenades. The intensive artillery fire destroyed the Federation in a few minutes. The military base was razed to the ground.

There was a piercing howl through the smoke, and Augustus could see in the walls of the collapsed command center a huge zerg queen sliced ​​into pieces by sharp metal shards.

Surrounding this Zerg Queen are all Tyrannian Federation marines wrapped in amniotic membranes. Their dark brown power armor is covered with spikes, like new shoots that have broken through the ground.

"God, if we hadn't seen this infected base, God knows how many hideous monsters would have appeared there." Renault was shocked.

"We destroyed a hatchery of an abomination." Augustus's reaction was no better than Raynor's, but he remained quite calm throughout.

"Can anyone hear me? I'm Johnson, the Sheriff of Norman Town. We are surrounded. Who can come and save us!"

At this time, many people's power armor built-in computers received a signal like this: "There are wounded and children here! Someone help them!"

"Go and see," said Augustus.

"Those who can persevere until now must be the best fighters in Antiga," he said.

"Send scouts first, this is likely to be a trap."

At this time, Augustus' troops were already quite close to the distant city of Ansardar, and the distant city looked like a giant with dark gray skin lying down on the red plain of Antiga.

It was a gray industrial city, a city built on the basis of Antiga's mining industry.The bureaucracy of Ansardar is corrupt, the governance is chaotic, the local tax laws and government orders are chaotic and contradictory, and the orders are changed day by day.

One after another federal officials kept plundering the wealth here, and the embezzlement and recovered bribes were used to arrange everything in the federal parliament and the founding family or to hire lawyers to defend in court.

Later, the people there had to establish order and law by themselves, which is one of the reasons for the frequent rebellion in Antiga.However, the local rebel forces were no match for the resocialized soldiers of the Federation, so they now regard the record of the Augustus Keha Revolutionary Army as an exciting success.

Augustus's troops continued to advance, crossing a salt-alkali land covered with red thorns, and a devastated colonial town slowly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

There are a large number of Gum swarms wandering around the town, most of the buildings have been reduced to rubble, and only some Antiga militiamen are still guarding the last few bunkers with old-fashioned weapons and automatic machine gun turrets.

"Even the militiamen are more capable of fighting than the people of the Federation." Renault fully has the position to say this, because he was a militiaman in Mar Sara: "We have to save them quickly, time waits for no one."

"General Duke," said Augustus.

"Everyone follow me!" Duke took the lead and led hundreds of resocialized soldiers from Alpha Squadron to support the besieged Antiga militia.

"Quick, quick! You brainless apes!"

"What's the matter, here is so close to Ansardar city, is there no one to rescue them? I heard that there are not many Zergs attacking Ansardar." Reynolds said: "They won't be too busy to attack them." Nearby satellite towns are reaching out to help."

"The answer is obvious. Those terrified federal officials are holding all the troops tightly in their hands, fearing that if more than 100 people are sent out, the city will fall." Augustus said.

"Since the Federation executed the last batch of governors and officials of the Sara galaxy who escaped, these people who are greedy for life and fear of death no longer dare to escape."

"Marshal, the fleet in the high-altitude orbit of Antiga has just discovered a golden Protoss fighter. General Warfield said that he has received a message from the Protoss fleet..." Suddenly, Kerrigan turned to Augustus report said.

"They said that they will not purify the main star of Antiga for the time being."

"Purification? Use burning to purify." Renault said: "In the past, the people on earth also dealt with psykers in the same way...burned them alive."

"Because they think those people are witches."

"I see." Augustus nodded.

"I knew Tassadar would come to Antiga. Wherever there are zerg, there will be them."
