StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 425 This person is by no means an ordinary person
Braxis, the frontier of the Tyrannian Federation, is a world of ice and snow. 60% of its land is covered by ice and snow. windy.

If Char is a purgatory full of magma oceans, volcanic ash and sulfur smell, then Braxis is another extreme. The glacial continent, blizzard and biting cold endow this planet with other meanings—a piece of the universe made up of An ice cone etched by pain, a white hell that freezes even the sky.

When the first batch of immigrants from the Tyrann Federation set foot on Braxis and its surrounding planets, the hungry and cold people went through hardships to take root in this ice and snow world where the average temperature was always minus 60 degrees Celsius.

The lack of high-energy gas resources in Braxis made the settlers have to find other heat sources to maintain the most basic life and resist the extreme natural climate that could destroy the settlers' homes.

Therefore, the settlements of settlers in Braxis are mainly concentrated in several settlements based on high-energy gas refineries, mining facilities and polar scientific research stations.

Boralis is the largest settlement in Braxis and a city of steel standing in the wind and snow.It was built on a vast plain among the planet's rugged, icy cliffs and deep valleys.

On the edge of the regular city of Polaris stood immigrant floor houses covered with layers of white snow, and the refined gas field boilers fired into golden copper delivered heat and electricity to the buildings of the entire city and the streetlights on the narrow road.

The Federal Governor of Braxis built the Governor's Mansion in the center of Polaris as a tall silver tower, the lights and antennas on the top of the tower can provide communication guarantees for the transport ships sailing between the settlements of the various settlements.

Once upon a time, there was a red and blue star flag of the Tyrannian Federation on the Governor's Mansion of the immigration place, which marked that Braxis was still loyal to the Federation as in the past, and did not sweep many fringe colonies under the Augustus Mengsk uprising There is not the slightest wavering in the revolutionary upsurge.

However, at the moment, on the Governor's Mansion, a flag with a black and red background was fluttering in the biting cold wind.On this hunting banner, a golden eagle with five stars on its head is majesticly standing above the earth.

Earthlings, they and their stories have long been a distant history among the humans in the Koprulu sector. Only the teachers mentioned a few words of the ancient earth when they mentioned the achievements of human beings in humanities, arts and natural sciences.

Even the supreme commander of the expeditionary force, Admiral Gerald Dugal (The hand of man, The Hand of Man), who has been fighting for many years, has to admit that despite the freezing temperature and endless polar storms, Bo The glaciers and frosty sky outside Laris are also very charming.

Outside the glass window facing the gate of the Governor's Mansion of the Braxis Colony is the frost-covered ice field to the southwest of Polaris City. The signal tower and camp of the United Earth Council Expeditionary Force station extend for ten miles from south to north.Under the deep blue sky, the expeditionary garrison was connected by rows of anti-aircraft towers, anti-aircraft guns and plasma cannons, like countless sharp knives inserted in the snow.

"Alexey, it's been said that you falconed naked on the plains of Ursa East in Braxis and killed a polar bear with your bare hands over vodka. I'm thinking now, that's probably true , because it deserves scrutiny."

Admiral Gerard Dugal was wrapped in a heavy black overcoat, with medals hanging from the buttonholes of his dark brown uniform.At his waist is a .50 caliber C-150 Ronin pistol (The C-150 Ronin pistol), this amazingly powerful pistol can cut the back of an Earth bison with a single shot.

Admiral Dugal is a formidable iron-blooded figure. He is solid and straight like a tombstone.Dugal has a pair of deep-set and resolute eyes on his lean and thin face. He is calm and extremely dignified. No member of the council dares to challenge the authority of the general.

The general was strict and cold, and had never smiled since he appeared in front of the soldiers.Not even the funniest clown played in front of Gerard Dugal could soften the corners of his grim mouth, nor the greatest tragedy could make the iron-blooded soldier cry.

Gerald Dugal may also be one of the greatest military leaders on the Earth Council based on his numerous glorious victories alone.For most of his military career until the age of 56, Dugal has been fighting the enemies of Earth.

A tough and consummate soldier, the United Earth Council's dignitaries, statesmen, and visionary leaders almost unanimously decided that Dugal was the best man to lead the Earth Expeditionary Force.

When the xenos threat first arose in front of the predecessor of the Earth Council, they quickly reorganized into a strong and powerful government.The earth attaches great importance to the purity of human genes. They believe in the idea of ​​human supremacy and hate all genetically modified and alien creatures.

As Earth continues to expand its solar system empire across the galaxy, threats from alien and colonial rebellions have never been able to defeat the Earth government.

Since the emergence of the Zerg and Protoss threats, the Earth government has assembled their most outstanding soldiers with a consistent iron fist and force, and vowed to wipe out the enemies of the Earth from beyond the Earth.

"Gerald, what I should have told you is that our fleet is marching straight in. The illegal government army of the Tyrannian Federation has thrown away its armor and armor, and it has been flying for thousands of miles. Tarsonis's self-proclaimed noble descendants of exiles are in constant panic." Alek Lieutenant General Shei Stukov just opened the door of the governor's office, and a few crystal clear snowflakes fell on his thick leather boots.

Alexey Stukov was much younger than Admiral Dugal, and a little more easy-going by comparison.The soldiers of the Earth Expeditionary Force could more or less see the witty humor of the man with the beard and the chic demeanor of planning everything under control. The soldiers all respected him and were impressed by Stukov's vision and vision in military wisdom.

No one would take lightly the man who always held a goblet of wine and vodka, and the bronze Gamma Shield badge he received is a testament to his courage.Stukov was a wise general who always smoked a cigarette when he calculated the outcome of the battle. When the ashes ran out, the leader of the rebel army was hanged in front of the council headquarters in Cairo.

Stukov is gentle and easygoing, which he tends to attribute to being a father of four.

"However, I didn't kill that Braxis beartooth, and I don't have any good news to tell you." Stukov lit a cigarette by himself, not paying much attention to the frown of his old friend.

"The Tyrannian Federation government reacted very quickly. They mobilized at least forty battlecruisers and countless warplanes to recapture the Delarian Shipyard. Our fleet avoided the Federation's pursuit, but the threat of the Federation fleet Still there." He paced the sunwood-plank floor of the Governor's Office.

"Our intelligence is wrong. Zerg and Protoss did not severely damage the Tyranid Federation, and their fleet commander is not a complete idiot."

Stukov's tone became more serious, annoyed at the intelligence services responsible for monitoring the Koprulu Sector.In the original plan, the Tyranid Federation should not be an obstacle, and the real enemies of the expeditionary force should be Zerg and Protoss.

"In other words, our plan to attack Tarsonis, the capital of the Tyrann Federation, has to be postponed," Stukov said finally.

"This is dangerous news for us. The expeditionary force is far away from the earth, and the logistics and personnel supplies are as long as [-] light years. This means that we have to recruit local population and resources." He said: "Wait for the federation to bloated If the administrative machinery fully reacts, the expeditionary force will be in an embarrassing predicament."

"What does the council think? If we can use local weapons, do we still need to deal with the Federation fleet?"

"No one knows, and no one questions it." Dugal said: "Be loyal to the council and mankind, and leave the rest to the war. The Tyrannian Federation will surely fall like a sun."

"The war of the sons of bitches." Stukov put one hand in his pocket, walked to Dugal's side, and looked at the snowstorm outside the window of the governor's mansion.

In the distance are mountains piled up with ice and snow one after another, as if they were piled up by snow.The wind mixed with ice and snow was blowing in gusts, the dark horizon was shrouded in a layer of black clouds, and several shocking blue lightning streaked across the sky. Anyone who had lived in Braxis long enough knew that a storm was coming .

A few towering pyramid-shaped buildings can be vaguely seen on the horizon, and they all belong to the ancient buildings of the protoss colony.This is an icy blue-white planet, inhospitable to most life known to man, but there are mysterious and ancient ruins buried under the glacier.

The Protoss may have attempted to modify the climate of Braxis, but they eventually left.

In the sky as far as the eye could see, four Vagery frigates were cutting through the dense storm clouds, the blue flames of their thrusters piercing the frozen sky.

"War is a demon, and we are the ones who unleash the demon," he said.

"Do the Tyranids think we'll still hang around in this small frontier? It's just misleading. Braxis is our strategic location for dominating the Koprulu Sector, and these fortifications are proof."

"However, if our warp engine is more advanced and faster than that of the Tyranids, then we can seize the opportunity." Stukov smiled.

"If everything goes well, when the federal fleet storms Braxis, they will realize that our fleet has already arrived in Tarsonis."

"We have a huge fleet—far bigger than the Tyrann Federation imagined." Dugal stood up with his hands behind his hands: "Char and Al are our ultimate goals, and the Black Flag plan to control the newborn rulers must also Start on time."

"To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about the plan to control the Zerg to fight for humans-our understanding of this race is only on the dissecting table."

"It's the wise man's job to drive the beast," Stukov told Dugal.

"Sir, Dr. Narud wants to see you." At this moment, a soldier in a dark military uniform came in, and the winged logo on his shoulder indicated that he was a Cronus soldier.

"Oh, Dr. Narud, that genius scientist?" Stukov said immediately, "Let him in."

"As I said, to deal with Zerg and Protoss, such outstanding local scientists are essential."

As soon as the words were finished, a white old man in a suit and leather shoes with his hair combed back neatly walked in.Of course, it is not necessary to wear thick thermal clothing in the Governor's Palace, but this outfit is not common in the Dugal Marshal's headquarters, which are all soldiers.

Dr. Narud, who is said to be an expert on Xel'Naga technology and the physiology of the Zerg Protoss.

Although Dr. Narud is now a slow-moving old man, it does not prevent him from having a heart to resist the tyranny of the Tyrann Federation.When Dugal's Earth Expeditionary Force first met Narud, he was commanding a Federation resistance force.

Since Dr. Narud is also a local and a senior military expert who knows the Tyrann Federation well, he was also hired as Admiral Dugal's tactical advisor.

"Our research on the Xel'Naga and Protoss architectural ruins in Braxis has been basically completed, and the research results will definitely be used in battleships and weapons." Dr. Narud is a staunch anti-Federation.

When the Earth Expeditionary Force set foot in Braxis, Narud, who happened to meet the expeditionary force, almost shouted "The King's Master is finally here", and couldn't wait to join the Earth Alliance Army.

"Also, I have some information about the Tyranid Federation's psionic launchers and psionic disruptors. It is reported that they are blocked under the main city of Tarsonis."

"You've done a good job," Dugal said to Dr. Narud. "As much as I hate deserters who defect, you're clearly not one of them. You've proven your loyalty to the council, and that loyalty will always get payback."

"Psychic jammers and psionic transmitters are very important, if the Tyranid Federation uses them against us." Just as Stukov was about to say something, the holographic projector on the desk lit up.

"A newsletter application?"

"Oh, it was sent by the Keha Revolutionary Army. A few days ago, their people contacted me, claiming that their leader, Marshal Augustus, wanted to talk to me." Dugal mentioned the word marshal Shi shook his head.

"This is the largest and most powerful rebel organization known in the Tyrann Federation."

Due to its remote location, Braxis has never been affected by the guild wars, the Korha rebellion, and the first all-out war with aliens. Even pirates rarely visit this terribly cold planet.

However, considering that Braxis always needs to trade with other surrounding colonial planets and the core world of the Tyrann Federation in exchange for necessary supplies, this place is not isolated from the world and blocked.

Braxis was not ignorant of the rebellious Korha Rebels and Augustus Mengsk.

"Hello, Admiral Gerald Dugal, I'm Augustus Mengsk." When the screen lit up, a handsome man with gray hair and gray eyes appeared, his gaze was as sharp as an eagle, and his momentum was far superior Governor of the Commonwealth of Blackheath.

"Sorry, did you forget to add 'Dear' before this? Marshal Augustus Mengsk." Stukov looked at the gray-haired man behind the screen, thinking that this self-proclaimed ridiculous marshal actually watched It also looks extraordinary.

"I don't think humble and polite people on Earth should impose the red tape of the civilized world on uncivilized savages, sir." Augustus looked at Stukov.

"Haha... I like you." Stukov took a serious look at Augustus, and decided that this person was by no means an ordinary person.

"Uh—" Dr. Narud smiled awkwardly and said to Dugal.

"This is a confidential meeting, I wonder if I should leave for a while."
