StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 307 Capture the Ship
Through the external camera in front of the lifeboat, the hammer-shaped bow of the bright purple-painted Nova Squadron battlecruiser in his field of vision was zooming in on Augustus a little bit.Compared with the battleship's hull plating, gilded in magnificent gold in the light of the stars, the lifeboat was nothing more than a fruit fly about to settle on a grape.

HMS Loyalty, a majestic Behemoth-class battlecruiser, was finally completed and launched at Bennett Shipyard.It was built during the Kailian War and re-upgraded during the Korhal IV rebellion, adding a prototype Titan reactor to power more laser cannon groups and giant fusion cannons that may be installed in the future.

Although human battlecruisers are not as gorgeous and exquisite as protoss warships, they are still the pride of the Tyranids. Their strong and powerful shapes, spectacular stainless steel armor, and bright white lights dotted on them are still outstanding. The model and representative of human giant ship cannon in this era.

The lifeboat marked 303 began to approach the loyal battlecruiser and drove along the side of the bright purple armor plate. Looking forward along the side, another Nova Squadron behemoth-class battlecruiser Just to the right of the bow of the lifeboat, about a dozen miles away, another warship of the same class was parallel to the Loyalty, but farther away.

All the warships and escorting frigates, destroyers, supply ships, and troop carriers are moving at a relatively high speed, and driving a spaceship smoothly into the dock has extremely high requirements for the spaceship driver.

The lifeboat circled the Allegiance's dock entrance for a few minutes, waiting for the dock's landing module to open.Holler pulled out a 2D control panel from beside his seat, and entered a series of codes on it before the hatch of the landing module opened the valve, as if a steel giant opened his mouth facing space.

The blue light at the entrance of the dock immediately gushed out of it. When the lifeboat entered the port, Augustus noticed that several T-280 Tarsonis space engineering vehicles were being fixed by cables on the alloy steel elevated shelf at the entrance of the dock. Moving over the edge of the deck, the faint flicker of the welding fire is fleeting.

In addition, seven lifeboats of the same model followed closely behind. These spaceships, which were supposed to be full of wounded and refugees, did not arouse the vigilance of the captain of the Loyalty.After learning that Colonel Holle was in the first lifeboat, the craft were ignored.

Augustus stood up the moment the lifeboat stopped, and followed Holle down the alloy gangway.

The dock of the Loyalty is very empty, most of the fighter planes and transport planes are performing missions outside, and there are only various ground crews in orange overalls on it, who are driving space engineering vehicles and unloading robots to and fro in the dock. It is to repair damaged aircraft.

When Holle came down the gangway, a Nova Squadron officer wearing a dark purple CMC-300 power armor was running towards him with a few soldiers.There are not many soldiers guarding here, probably less than one combat platoon.

Even in wars between humans, boarding battles rarely happen. Only Ke Morian will use their many and fast assault boats to seize Federation battlecruisers in fleet battles. The usual way for freighters.

"Colonel Holler, thank God you're still alive. Without your orders, the whole squadron is in disarray." The Nova Squadron officer, a tall, rough-eyed man, lowered his helmet visor for Holler to see. Clear your face.He may not be very familiar with Holle, but at least he knows who his chief is.

The officer froze for a moment when he saw Augustus in crimson power armor behind Holle, and then he rubbed his eyes: "I must be dreaming, Augustus Mengsk shit."

The officer took a few steps back, his face darkened with fear.For such a well-known rebel leader as Augustus Mengsk, his first reaction was not that Holle captured Augustus, but that Augustus descended from heaven with his soldiers.

Before he had time to say anything, Tychus flashed out from behind Augustus, took two quick steps, clenched his iron fists and slammed towards him.The officer immediately fell on his back, bleeding from the bridge of his broken nose, and his eyes turned white.

"Wake up from the nightmare, poor thing." Tychus looked at his bloody fist, raised his chin, and the scars on his face became more hideous.

"Tychus Finley, the demon of heaven." The rest of the Nova Squadron soldiers were stunned on the spot, only another officer with the rank of lieutenant suddenly shouted: "Rebels."

Before he could finish, Tychus knocked him cleanly to the ground with another quick and hard old punch.

"Nice to meet you, sweetheart." He had just been smacked at Holle and was raging.

"I'm Colonel Jackson Holer." Holer looked at the soldiers who were completely at a loss and looked stunned: "The rebels have invaded this warship, and I need you to get ready to attack within 20 seconds. Retreat the enemy."

"Yes, sir, fight for the Union." The soldiers immediately stood up and saluted Holler.

Just looking at the appearance, it is difficult for ordinary people to find the difference between resocialized soldiers and ordinary soldiers, but as long as they pay a little attention, they can notice the barcode on the back of their helmets.And the Confederacy never saw resocialized soldiers as human beings.

"Soldiers, keep in mind your mission. Order and fairness are the cornerstones of the Tyrann Federation." Holle said.

"Forever loyal."

"Are they idiots?" Tychus was bored, and returned to the lifeboat to retrieve his heavy machine gun.

At the same time, Tychus made such a big commotion that it was hard not to attract the attention of the ground crews on the dock. Some people were still busy with their work, but they all realized that something was wrong.

A federal engineer who was sitting on a pile of supply boxes and smoking a cigarette yelled loudly: "I said, what's going on? Those two soldiers seem to be seriously injured."

Most of the ground crews and engineers in the Loyalty's dock were afraid to speak, and there were always a few desperate and confused people trying to figure out what happened by shouting.

"I am Colonel Hole, there are rebels in this spaceship." Hole replied with an unchanged expression, "They want to seize control of this warship, and they must eliminate this group of rebels."

"Okay, okay. Isn't the Zerg and Protoss enough trouble?" The engineer believed it, but when he saw who was getting off the lifeboat, he almost fell off the supply box.

Not soldiers, engineers, and scientists stepped out of the lifeboats, but protoss templars in shining armor.One by one the protoss stepped out of the lifeboats, thousands of glowing blue eyes all looking in the same direction.

This time, the engineer dared not speak any more.

Augustus and Radnanix looked at each other. The latter gave an order, and a large number of protoss templars rushed into the corridors and passage entrances in the ship. Any human soldiers who dared to resist them were killed by the spirit. It can be cut by a sharp blade, and blood flows horizontally.

"Follow me, Marshal." Holer made a gesture, letting the resocialized soldiers of the Nova Squadron under him walk at the forefront, walking all the way to the straight ladder with the indicating arrow.

"You'd better not lead us into a trap." Tychus raised his Persuader heavy machine gun: "I'll keep an eye on you, understand? If you try to betray us, I'll kill you smashed his brains out."

"The Federation wouldn't plant a spy at the cost of so many warships, would it?" Holler said.

"That's not sure, who knows what's going on in that ghost's head of yours. You may hate the Tyrann Federation, but you may not like us." Tychus shook his head and said.

"Yes, I really don't like you." Holler said: "If you really think I have witchcraft, then you'd better be careful." and one of the first psykers to use terrazine on themselves.)
Augustus ignored the quarrel between the two men.Tychus is not liked by people, and Holle is obviously a very ambitious and ambitious person. This kind of person who pursues power is not so difficult to control.And Tychus wasn't really keen on being at the top of the Revolutionary Army—although he didn't think it was a bad thing, and a higher position would be more conducive to his own personal gain.

Tychus was preoccupied with the idea of ​​returning to the old profession if the revolution failed.He was a confusion factor, but he was far more reliable to Augustus than Höller, who had just surrendered.

After Augustus followed Holler into the straight ladder, the alarm inside the Loyalty finally sounded, and the captain of the ship had clearly seen what happened through the monitoring screen of the dock: "I am Loyalty. Captain Joe of the USS, we have been invaded. Jackson Hole has betrayed the Union, repeat, Jackson Hole has betrayed the Union, and he is no longer our commander."

"Protoss, here they come. Augustus Mengsk brought them here! It's Augustus' rebels! Run!"

"This is a trap, we are surrounded, evacuate immediately!"

"That said, I'm not a demon." Augustus thought they didn't need to be so nervous.

The straight ladder kept going up, and when it came to a stop, it had already reached the uppermost main deck, and the corridor leading to the cabin of the command area was already full of heavily armed Nova Squadron marines.

"Fire!" immediately shouted the officer in command of the unit.

"Stand at attention." Holle straightened his military cap and said calmly.

"Retract the gun and return the bullet."

Dozens of soldiers in purple power armor responded to Holle's order with a series of unmistakable movements of standing at attention and holding their guns. The jingling sound of falling bullets was clearly heard in the corridor inside the ship that suddenly became silent. can be heard.

All of the resocialized soldiers were able to recognize Holle as who he was, and in their neuromodified brains, Holle, the Supreme Commander of Nova Squadron, was clearly in command of anyone else.

"Damn it, why did you betray us? You perfidious dog." The Nova Squadron officer said as he took out his P-220 electromagnetic pistol and aimed it at Holle.

"I'm sorry." Gold welled up in Holler's black pupils.

The officer then turned the gun on himself and fired.

"Who are these people?" Tychus said with goosebumps all over his body.At this time, Tychus suddenly remembered the red-haired female ghost beside Augustus.Since Kerrigan served Augustus, she had rarely killed anyone, which made Tychus almost forget that high-level human psykers were the ones who could kill someone just by looking at them.

High-level psykers are very rare, and their tortured childhood often makes them more cold-blooded and even distorted than ordinary ghost agents, but this type of person has a purer mind.

In less than a second, Holle lowered his head and raised it again, walking past a group of Nova Squadron soldiers who were standing at attention on both sides of the corridor, waiting for orders. Thin, resolute faces were reflected on the masks of these soldiers. Face.

"Does killing hurt you?" Augustus asked Holler.

"...Yes Marshal, the memory of the deceased before death will be rooted in my mind, and only brainwashing can forget all of this." Holler hesitated and replied, "But I cannot be brainwashed, which means I cannot forget it. Those memories."

"Then you'd better not do it after that," said Augustus.

Augustus was convinced that Jackson Hole was probably the most powerful psyker he had ever seen outside of Kerrigan and Nova, and one of the very few with special abilities.And, at least in his opinion, the man was not hopeless.

Holler continued to move forward, and almost every step someone rushed out to stop him.The federal colonel only wore a blue navy uniform and a Federal Defender medal on his shoulder, but no one could hurt him.

By the time they made it to the bridge, the Templars of Radnanix were already there waiting for them.The bridge was full of traces of fierce fighting. The captain of the Loyalty collapsed on the ground, and at his feet was an electromagnetic rifle that had been cut off by a psionic blade.

"Lieutenant Colonel Joe, there is no need to work for the Federation anymore, they will play with fire and set themselves on fire sooner or later." Holler said, walking up to the captain of the Loyalty: "It's time to establish a new order, Zerg and Protoss are poisoning our homeland , the Tyranids need a enlightened master."

"He is Augustus Mengsk."

The lieutenant colonel did not speak, but remained silent.

Outside the Allegiance's bridge, the lines of the Nova Squadron fleet were in disarray, and the four battlecruisers supporting Höller were firing on the rest of the battleships.As Augustus looked over, a Nova Squadron battlecruiser was firing hundreds of anti-aircraft missiles at her sister ship, leaving a sea of ​​burns and damage across the ship's side.

Although the number of rebel warships is not dominant, but because the warships on the Federation side do not know which warships betrayed the Federation, after several Nova Squadron warships took the lead in warping away, the remaining Federation warships began to retreat steadily.
