StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 419 The Earth Return Faction
"The Federal Parliament passed the bill No. 4 submitted by the Senate, declaring you the number one public enemy of mankind. Augustus Mengsk's reward amount has been increased to 25 billion credit coins, of which [-] million are additionally provided by the Dabanville family, they declared It’s all for justice to be done better.”

Sarah Kerrigan was standing at Augustus's desk in the Colonial Governor's Office in Grande City.

This office has elegant interior furnishings. Desks, chairs, counters, wine cabinets, and even the golden red silk carpet on the ground are all made by protoss craftsmen based on human culture, cabinet windows, vases, and water cups. All are hand-cut from pure crystal for a jewel-like beauty.

The wine cabinet has its own defense matrix, which can not only prevent the prying eyes of any villains who covet Augustus's treasured wines, but also prevent any possibility of criminals intending to poison the food and water ingested by the leaders of the revolutionary army.

A prismatic green Iham crystal hangs at the end of a canvas hanging on the wall. According to Zeratul, the dark master who gave this crystal, this crystal can reproduce the past memories of the user.

The value of these various precious collections is astonishing, not to mention that they are all from the hands of the most famous Kalai craftsman in the Protoss Empire, even the artistic value itself is enough to make any human being who sees them fall in love at first sight.

"The wealth of the d'Arbanville Family is astounding." Augustus leaned back in the armchair lined with Albangaras' cheetah leather, fingers folded across his chest.

"This is a mysterious founding family, which has always been low-key, and the public knows little about their industry. What did I do that made them hate it?"

"Maybe you and your father's political views have touched the interests of the Dabanville family, or they are staunch supporters of federal sovereignty and aristocratic politics." Kerrigan said that the founding family of the Tyrann Federation One of the Darbanville family documents was placed on the table in front of Augustus.

"Christina Darbanville, a rising star in the business world." Augustus picked up a long photo of an intellectual woman with long auburn braids.

"Is it good?" Kerrigan asked.

"It's not very pretty," Augustus mused.

"Did you mean redhead?" Kerrigan pulled another stack of papers from her briefcase.

"I think red hair is the most beautiful hair color." Augustus sat up.

"Nonsense, you like blondes." Kerrigan crossed her arms over her chest.

"What's wrong with being a Mengsk for liking blondes?" Augustus argued. "Angus Mengsk's genes are to blame for that."

"Well, it's all your father's fault, so your grandparents are somewhat to blame," Kerrigan said with her hips akimbo.

"Mengsk has always had gray hair and brown hair, and it's all over for my nephew Valerian." Augustus liked Valerian very much, but that didn't stop him from teasing his ineffective nephew.

"This shows that the Umoyan Pasteur family is as good as the Mengsk family." Kerrigan said to Augustus.

"Bloodlines should be honored by the achievements of the nobles. Apart from that, it is nothing." Augustus shrugged and changed the subject: "Is there any news from the Tyrann Federation? The first all-out war After the end, the world will finally be a lot more peaceful."

"I've been aware of the main policies of the Federation recently, including the clichés that emphasize that we are traitors, dissidents, subversives and terrorists. The Federation Supreme Command announced that their fleets will not be long before sailing back to Thailand. In the fringe world of the London Federation, any traitors, pirates, and youngsters who want to take advantage of fire and robbery will be punished immediately—"

"When the Zergs invaded on a large scale, why were they never so stubborn. Now both the protoss and the Zergs have suffered losses. After returning to their own world, the Federation jumped out impatiently, for fear that people would forget about them." Gustus said.

"Tell me about recent events. I'm happy to hear about the scandals of the federal nobles."

"Assassinations of high-ranking federal officials, political leaders, and especially military leaders have multiplied. A member of the Duke family, Rear Admiral Fregory Duke, was also found dead in his bathtub. His charming fiancée announced that he would join the Federal Navy. The Marines have their revenge." Kerrigan handed over a photo of Fregory Duke.

He was a young, handsome, and suave chief of staff of the Federal Navy. He didn't have any impressive achievements, but he had a share in every battle.

"It wasn't ours, nor the Sons of Keha," said Augustus, after watching for a few seconds.

"We don't have that many people to assassinate these people, and" he read the documents carefully: "and some of them are supporters of the Revolutionary Party, and others, as far as I know, are still a few in the corrupt federal system." One of many good men who enforce the law with impartiality."

"Then who did this?"

"The timing of the assassinations increased suddenly over a period of time, and the methods were very sophisticated. The assassins were even old people who had been in the victim's family for decades, and they were treated like family members." Kerrigan Say.

"It must have come from a tight and powerful organization. As far as we know, only the Umoyan intelligence and spy network can do it."

"Unless Umoyan is crazy, he would think of using the spy network they built at such a great price at this time." Augustus said and shook his head: "Look who they assassinated— — a prestigious political and military leader."

"It looks like another federal resistance organization that we don't know about." Augustus thought to himself: Is it Duran?
But Duran didn't need to do that, or was it part of his plan to revive Amon that weakened the Tyrann Federation?Destroying the Federation is of no benefit to Duran, and he may have to rely on the financial support of the chaebols in the Federation to build a hybrid factory.

"Not only assassinations, but also successive attacks on federal military installations and factories." Kerrigan continued: "Including those parts that can be concealed by the federal military, the scope and intensity of this attack are far beyond our imagination. .”

"Have you seen the UNN news?"

"I seldom watch clown shows and liar talk shows now." Augustus shrugged.

"The Tarsonis Police Department has arrested some accused assassins and terrorists who claim to be instructed and funded by the Mengsk family and the sons of Korha." Kerrigan spread her hands.

"They really do think for me," said Augustus.

"Actually, our agents and Umoyan allies must have received the exact news, or in other words, the Tyra family and the Huot family must know something."

"Eva Hott and Constantine Terra were also assassinated, and they got some news - the assassins announced that human orthodoxy is about to return to Koprulu," Kerrigan said.

"...Earth?" Augustus said after a moment of silence.

"I don't know, heh, these people belong to an ancient organization called the Earth Return faction. They believe that the Earth people will one day take back their colonies on the edge of the galaxy. But everyone regards them as crazy, and the Earth is six miles away from us." Thousands of light-years away, the people on Earth may not even know that four colony ships have crashed in the corner." Kerrigan said.

"All in all, these groups that probably existed a century or more ago are doing their best to wreak havoc in Tyranid territory," she said.

"Who knows if the Earth's government has survived and maintained control over their colonies in the solar system, the interior is likely to have been torn apart."

"Well, if the people on Earth are determined to take over the Koprulu star sector, then the Tyranid Federation is indeed one of their biggest obstacles at present." Augustus said.

"Do you really believe that the people on Earth are going to return?" Kerrigan obviously didn't believe this rumor: "No one in the Tyranid Federation, except those lunatics, would believe such nonsense."

"There's always a reason for it," said Augustus. "You can't say that people in this organization have gone mad."

"However, if the Earthlings' army really marches into the Koprulu sector, the Tyranid Federation will be the first to be unlucky." He gave instructions.

"Pay close attention to the movement of this organization, and if possible, I hope to get in touch with the leader of this organization."

"The Federation wants to know more than we do." Kerrigan nodded.

"Tell all my agents, tell the son of Kehal of Arcturus. This is the most important thing, and it can't be half-hearted." Augustus was full of thoughts for a moment, and he gradually realized that this is very likely It is an opportunity to completely overthrow the Tyrann Federation.But what followed was another more powerful enemy.

It occurred to Augustus that only he knew that the UED was coming.If these terrorist attacks were nothing more than a small, easily overlooked prelude to a military expedition on Earth, then judging from the time it took for the United Earth Council fleet to depart and arrive in the Koprulu sector, it would have been at least a few months, and at most In a year or so, they will come to Koplu.

It's just that Augustus has no idea whether the Earth Expeditionary Force is preparing to set off or has already set sail.

If the Earth Expeditionary Force is really planning to intervene in the war in the Koprulu star area in advance, it will be difficult for them to deliver supplies from the earth tens of millions of light-years away.

This is the advantage of Augustus, and he is thinking about how to use this, calculating how to become the final winner when the UED expeditionary force beats the Tyrann Federation.

Augustus knew what was going on in the world and what might be going on in the future.He's just figuring out when, because something has fundamentally changed long ago.

This is 2493, and they're way too early.Starting with the early invasion of the Koprulu Sector by the Dominator Swarm, the entire timeline began to speed up.

However, big events will not change.

"I see." Kerrigan realized it was something worth highlighting.

"Is there anything else to mention?"

"This is the greatest challenge our intelligence community has faced since its inception," Augustus said.

"That's probably no harder than some idiot trying to get the protoss to talk." Kerrigan turned the page.

"There is one more thing. The Umoyan people hope that you can go to the Umoyan main star. This is related to strengthening more military and economic cooperation. You know, this kind of thing is not easy to shirk. They are all helping us digest the output of the colonies - the Commonwealth Territories are afraid to engage with the rebels, and the Kel-Morian Commonwealth is too poor."

"Okay, I think I get it." Augustus knew that some things could not be solved by letting his father and brother sell their butts. As the leader of the Revolutionary Army, he still had to come forward on such occasions.

The real purpose of the United States of Umoyan is to weaken the ruling power of the Tyrann Federation in order to preserve itself, and they spare no effort to help Keha and the Revolutionary Army just because it is beneficial to them. ——It is conceivable that after Augustus's revolutionary army became stronger and the federation gradually weakened, Umoyan's goals were also achieved.

If the new regime established after Augustus overthrew the Federation also poses a huge threat to Yumoyang, then Yumoyang will definitely turn his face and deny anyone.

"There is also some news about the Umoyan Resolution Conference. They have relaxed the policy of restricting the entry of refugees from the Tyrannian Federation, provided that these people swear loyalty to the United States. At the same time, the Congress has increased military funding for the National Defense Army. Prepare their 'unrivaled' high-tech fleet to meet the zerg threat." Kerrigan went on to address events within Umoyan.

"—On the 14th, Minister Jorgensen delivered a speech at Umoyan University under the protection of the Umoyan Shadow Guard, denouncing the Tyrannian Federation as a false regime controlled by plutocrats and oligarchs."

"Minister Jorgensen is a capable person." Augustus said: "I have seen some new types of ships of the Umoyan National Defense Army fleet, and the shadow of the protoss warship can be seen on them."

"It seems that I have to arrange a trip to Umoyan, and I haven't seen my mother and sister for a long time." He said.

"What's going on with the Camerian Federation?"

"There is no movement. The board of directors of the consortium is still fighting openly and secretly. Today, either the CEO had a car accident, or the president of a company stumbled and fell into the warship's warp drive for some reason," Kerrigan replied.

"Compared to the Combine, the Broodworld of the Zerg is much more lively. According to the news from the fleet monitoring the Char system, there was a terrible civil war among the Zerg in Char. But this civil war has subsided now Down, most likely because Dagos, the most powerful cerebrate of the swarm, returned to Char," she said.

"The zerg's desire to expand in the universe has obviously declined, and now they only attack ships that rashly invade their territory."

"This is good news for those who have suffered from the zerg ravages, but I believe that sooner or later the zerg will regroup. As long as there is a new master, the cerebrates will unite again." Augustus commented Say.

"Order our science ship to keep a close eye on Char and pay attention to every move of the swarm." He said: "Be alert for another counterattack by the swarm."

"We must not allow the enemy to destroy the home we built with our own hands."

"As you said." Kerrigan blinked green eyes.

"On the Protoss side, Sacoolas also needs you to go. Tassadar, the executive officer of El Protoss, and Razagal, the matriarch of Sacoolas Protoss, decided to form a group called Durham ( Protoss: United) and you are the only human invited to witness that moment."

"Maybe the Protoss will ask me to be an officer," Augustus joked.

"But I'm more concerned about who has the final say in this government, Tassadar or Razagal? Their status among their respective tribes is unshakable." He asked Kerrigan:

"Where's Zeratul? I haven't seen him in a while. The last time I saw Zeratul, he swore to hunt down the fallen Dark Templar Orrega and bring him back to Sacoolas for trial."

"No one has seen Zeratul again." Kerrigan brushed the red hair on her cheek, as if remembering something.

"The protoss of Aiur say that Zeratul lost himself in the void, and the protoss of Sarkuras say that their master is chasing visions of Aurega and fragments of Xel'Naga's prophecy."

"Don't worry about Zeratul." Augustus smiled.

"Zeratul always appears when we need him most. He is a learned and wise elder, and he will never abandon his people and friends."
