StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 327 The Rise of Antiga
"Tell me specifically, Warfield, how much the Antiga Prime has changed." He looked at Warfield when he let go of Kerrigan.

"Besides Abaddon, we rescued the Maltair IV, Miranar, and Adena, and defended many towns abandoned by Federation garrisons from the Zerg invasion. Warfield signaled Augustus to follow him to the shipyard under construction to take a look: "We'll talk as we walk, some of them need to be seen with your own eyes to know."

When Augustus followed Warfield, a group of senior revolutionary generals and guards with the golden wolf logo surrounded him and followed him.Wherever he went, Augustus was a star.

"On those planets, the militia's combat effectiveness and fighting will are much higher than the small number of federal garrisons." Warfield said to Augustus when he boarded the shuttle ramp.

"By the time we reached Martell IV, Mirana, and Edna, the zerg had almost completely destroyed the weak defenses there. The Abaddons had already wiped out a swarm scouting force that had invaded their homeland. The zerg there Anti-Federal thinking was also widespread, so that Landstein's troops were greeted with great enthusiasm when they landed."

"The Abaddons? I've heard they're a well-known secessionist faction, but they're also very xenophobic. My father tried to rally supporters there in the past, but the response was mediocre." Augustus was with Warfield The shipyard dock is moored and the port is walking.

"They think they can resist the Zerg's attack, and they are unwilling to evacuate with us. Fortunately, during the time when you and the Tassadar fleet raided Char, the Zerg slowed down the attacks on Abaddon and Martell. The planet's attack, and even evacuated there at one point," Warfield said.

"The zerg haven't completely destroyed those planets, and most of the areas have not been affected. I am planning to recover these planets and station troops there."

"The pace can't be too big. We don't have that many troops to guard too many planets. Once the Zerg suddenly attacks a planet, the garrisons in other regions will inevitably fall into the dilemma of scattered troops when they come to rescue." August Situ gave his own different opinions.

"Now, it is the safest choice to concentrate our forces to guard Antiga. You can first establish mining stations and outposts on Edna, a planet that itself contains mineral deposits, and then consider the possibility of re-establishing the planet's administrative region."

"...Well, we still have to play it safe, don't be in a hurry." Warfield thought for a while and agreed.

Not counting the 10 soldiers of the Alpha Squadron and the 45 soldiers of the Nova Squadron, the number of soldiers currently serving in the Revolutionary Army has expanded from the initial 22 to the current 1, including 6 of the 300 Kahas There are two full-staffed divisions of Sara descent, one [-]-strong army of Hong Kong of the Dead and three Antiga divisions, and more than [-] million soldiers in various logistics departments and reserve soldiers.

Among these soldiers, the coverage rate of power armor has reached 2/3, and more than 30 people have standard power armor, of which 20 are orders for Ripper power armor delivered by the Kelmorian Federation. The crimson with gold rim was later re-dressed for Augustus' revolutionary army.

The Ripper Power Armor in the later period of the Guild Wars is mainly an armor of the Camerian Alliance against the CMC-200. In this era when the CMC-300 is fully deployed in the army, it has become backward, but the Power Armor is still able to The epoch-making equipment that distinguishes them from the ordinary army.

The remaining troops are mainly CMC-200 and CMC-300, the latter is mainly equipped with the Guards Division and the first ten divisions. More than [-] tanks also make the combat effectiveness of the Revolutionary Army comparable to that of the early stage of the uprising. The time is no longer the same.The Revolutionary Army is also currently working with the Umoyan Protectorate to produce its own enhanced version of the field armor (war pigs) to equip Augustus' elite guards.

This huge army can already compete with the regular army of the Tyranid Federation and even launch a war against a certain main star world, but when facing the Zerg, no matter how many people and weapons it is, it is obviously not enough.

But in any case, the size of the revolutionary army is enough to make the eyes of the federal dignitaries of Tarsonis straight.The more the federal army chased and intercepted them, the more the number of revolutionary troops increased, and the area they controlled became larger and larger.

Leaving aside those colonies that are still under construction, Agria with a population of 400 million and the main star of Antiga with a population of more than 1000 and [-] million can already be counted as the basic base of the Revolutionary Army in the Koprulu sector.

This place is not in the core area. If the Tyranid Federation wants to defeat Antiga's revolutionary army, it must mobilize a larger fleet, but that will inevitably leave a huge gap in the defense of the core world, exposing Tarsonis to In front of the dreaded zerg.

Ahead in the unfinished assembly center, hundreds of workers in orange-gray overalls and hard hats are laying decks, pipes and cables and a white swan logo.On the steel frame under construction stands the red flag of the Revolutionary Army and the slogan: Fight for Freedom.

The vast majority of these workers are Maltai and Mirana people, skilled workers from foundries, shipbuilding factories and steel smelting factories on their homeland.

After the zerg invaded the homes of these workers, a large number of farmlands, infrastructure and factories were severely damaged, prices soared, and people who became refugees almost overnight suddenly became nothing.

It was Warfield's army that rescued the federal army when they were defeated. Food and relief supplies from the revolutionary agricultural planet Agria and the United States of Umoyan were transported by transport ships so that the refugees who flocked to Antiga would not suffer. Hungry and cold.

Millions of refugees joined the building of Antiga, volunteering to serve the cause of the Revolutionary Army.They believed that the Tyrannian Federation had abandoned them, and that the Keha Revolutionary Army was the only one protecting them and their families.

At this time, the people on the elevated began to descend to the platform through the engineering ladder, and walked towards the worker's restaurant located in the attached ecological park. Behind them was an atmospheric stabilization device that was nearing completion.Meanwhile, another group of workers on the bus took their place.

Although the workers who were walking towards the restaurant were still a few hundred yards away from Augustus and were very tired after long hours of work, they saw Augustus wearing a dark gray cloak from a distance. He still stood still and took off his hat to salute, and then went back to the way he was going.

"They are able to stand here because of you." Warfield said to Augustus with a chuckle.

"It shouldn't be like this. It's because you still have soldiers who died or were disabled due to injuries." Augustus shook his head, and did not accept the honor that had actually been imposed on him: "We It is because of the protection of the victims that we can continue to stand here. Only after going through all this can our family and children live a good life."

"No matter how many lofty ideals we may crown what we do, I have only one dream, that people can live happily without fear of oppression from tyranny and alien threats. Children Don't be scared, and they will grow up and find jobs."

"There will be nothing worse than the current Tyrannian Federation. You must be able to do well. Both your father and brother believe that you can do it, which is why they trust you without reservation. said Warfield.

While speaking, a small gray-brown transport ship that looked rather dilapidated was stumbling through the dock entrance of the shipyard into the mooring area with smoke, and two Wraith fighters with the logo of the Revolutionary Army on its wings were following it and to escort it.

"People from other colonies flee to Antiga every day. Some are families who fled in a hurry when they heard the news that the Zerg was about to invade. They pooled money or found other ways to find spaceships that can cross the galaxy." Field pointed to the transport ship that was mooring at the lower berth in the distance.

"Antiga was originally one of the first planets to be invaded by Zerg, but now it is the safest place. After we rescued many of the colonies, more people learned that Antiga not only did not fall, Instead, the zerg were driven out."

"We are the light of humanity, General." Harnack Hank said carelessly.

"The people who came here also made a lot of determination. After all, we are the murderous rebels in the mouth of the Tyranid Federation." Warfield said.

"Refugees' civilian spaceships can't fly very far without refueling, and Antiga is their only choice." He continued: "This is the only planet known to have a large army stationed and is relatively safe. Many people came here in a daze, and originally wanted to use Antiga as a transit point."

"Go and have a look." Augustus looked at the civilian transport ship that seemed to be falling apart, and noticed that the pilot of the spaceship was operating the thrusters to turn.

"These refugees are likely to be mixed with people carrying Zerg virus or agents of the Tyrann Federation, pirates or other organizations infiltrated. We must be careful. We suffered a big loss at the very beginning." Destein finally spoke, even more reticent now that almost everyone in his family had died in the Korhal War of Independence and the Zerg invasion.

"I have full confidence in the soldiers who protect me." Augustus waved his hand, and no one would raise any objections.

The berth where Augustus is located is more than 1000 feet away from the civilian berth on the lower level, and an engineering elevator must be used.The elevator is large enough to hold Augustus and his officers and guards.

Only at this time did Augustus really feel how huge the shipyard was. Its walls seemed like cliffs, and the small spaceships that flew through it were as small as birds.The platform under construction in the distance and the ones on it are like black spots, and dense black pipes extend along the section to be constructed.

The outer walls to be assembled and rows of ten-inch alloy steel plates to be laid are exposed to the environment of space, so workers there must wear thick space overalls.

The lower platform seemed a bit crowded, with all kinds of transport ships and galaxy jumpers parked at the berths, connected end to end, with no end in sight.Most of the transport ships are old models from the colonial era, and they are tattered and mended like scrap copper and iron. They may still be the spaceships driven by the grandfathers of these colonists.

There are several teams of Goliath armed robot guards here, and there are heavily armed Revolutionary Army soldiers with live ammunition everywhere. There are also multiple military medical teams on standby here to deal with emergencies.

The rusted hatch of the transport ship that had just landed in the port opened with the sound of the air valve deflated, and a middle-aged couple and a little boy with blond hair came down.

When they first came down, they were obviously frightened, with panic expressions on their faces, and they seemed at a loss when they were inspected and questioned by several revolutionary soldiers who ran over.

"They were terrified." Kerrigan beside Augustus sighed: "There are 'rebels' everywhere here, or the soldiers in uniform make these people subconsciously fear."

"Look at the insignia on the ship, it's from the Temar IV," Warfield said.

When Augustus led dozens of senior officers and soldiers towards the couple, they were obviously even more frightened.

"This is the dock of the Revolutionary Army. You are safe." When Augustus walked towards the couple, the soldiers around him stood up and saluted him.

Augustus's handsome face wore his friendly smile, which seemed to have a strange magic power, and immediately calmed the restless couple.If it was Tychus Finley who came, he probably thought he had stepped into an interstellar relay dock run by black merchants and pirates.

"General, we are from Taimal." The husband of the couple suddenly felt courageous when he saw his family.

"I heard that the zerg and protoss were going to destroy Temar, so I escaped in the unloading ship I used to transport the goods. These aliens are terrible, they have destroyed Cha Sara and Ma. Sara, Taymar will soon be burned to stone by the Protoss-"

"Has the Zerg already invaded Temar?" Augustus did not correct the man's mistake in understanding the Protoss.

"I don't know, sir. Someone said the zerg had appeared in Tamar, and panic spread from town to town, and the city was thrown into chaos. There was a serious commotion at the airport in Tamar, I've heard The troops were still massacring those who stormed the airport before withdrawing."

The middle-aged man with a haggard face became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he was fighting against the evil insects and the federal soldiers who slaughtered civilians.

"What else, I don't know, sir, what I said is true, Taimar is going to end, everyone wants to escape there quickly, but many people not only don't have a spaceship, they even have a car No decent car."

"Sergeant, take them to the residential floor and make arrangements. After two days, send them to the Antiga Starport to take a spaceship to the surface." Augustus said to a revolutionist who was inspecting the transport ship just now. said the army officer.

Then, Augustus walked up to the couple's son, who was only six or seven years old depending on the situation, staring into the other's ignorant and frightened eyes with cold gray eyes.

"We are the revolutionary army, you are safe."
