StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 426

The leather-trimmed wood-textured holographic projector on the desktop has been with Augustus for four years, and the golden wolf-head emblem on its dust cover has also shed scars as finely as it traveled to various planets. crack.

This durable instrument was given to Augustus by his brother Arcturus, and it has stood the test of time just like the latter's vision.

At this time, a clear three-dimensional image is flashing on the holographic projector, among which are two United Earth Council soldiers in straight dark military uniforms, while another gray-haired old man is standing at the very edge of the image, as if He was looking apprehensive.

"Dr. Emil Narud, you are our special military advisor in the Koprulu sector with a high salary, and you have the right to know more confidential information." Lieutenant General Stukov seemed to be a refined and easy-going person, and he gave Augustus's first impressions were at least telling:

"I don't want our advisers to ask me after the war is over: General, should we go?"

"I'm honored." So, the doctor named Narud didn't look so scared, and even raised his head inadvertently to see Augustus's appearance clearly.

Immediately, Dr. Narud, with a snow-white beard and sideburns, and a bitter expression, overlapped with an image in Augustus's memory.

Emir Narud, another vest of Samir Duran.In the story of StarCraft II, Dr. Narud is the mastermind behind everything. He was not found out until the end, and he hid it deep.

Of course, Dr. Narud could never have imagined that Augustus would take his vest off with just one look at him.Augustus knew Narud's overall plan: different routes lead to the same goal, everything that Narud did-maybe these things may not be connected at first glance, but the ultimate purpose is to resurrect his master's fallen Sarnaga Emon.

However, Narud and Duran have very different personalities. Augustus is convinced that he used the name Narud in advance because he appeared as Arbiter Duran prematurely.Next time, he may also change his identity to be called Rimus.

"Okay, let's talk now." Admiral Gerald Dugal stood in the center of the hologram, his long withered chin nodded.

"Marshal Augustus Mengsk, I know that you are the leader of the rebel army. I have spent most of my life fighting people like you. Maybe you are a generation of heroes in this sector, but Koplu It's just a speck of stardust in the universe."

"I've seen too many people like you, a people's fighter who prides himself on a sense of justice, a revolutionary hero full of blood, or a predator full of courage." His expression was colder than the snowstorm of Braxis.

"Put your position aside, I have always admired such people, but I hope you will not be a liar who only wants the halo of a revolutionary leader to gain power and money for himself. It is people like that who bring meaningless turmoil, and they seek It's just your own desire."

In Gerard Dugal's eyes, Augustus was too young, even too young.If Augustus was self-made, only a young man could describe him.

Most of the leaders of the Earth rebels sat in oil-stained huts and commanded his hot-blooded youths who had been hastily armed with revolutionary ideas, expecting them to resist ruthless bullets with their flesh and blood.

"So, what kind of person are you? Are you worth our time here." Stukov took Admiral Dugal's words.

"General, I'm just a voice of justice for the exploited and oppressed people of the Tyrann Federation." Augustus said calmly.

"I hate the ugliness that the federal government hides behind the scenes. I have heard enough lies from politicians and nobles. What I want to do is to overthrow the federal government and let the truth come out."

"Lieutenant General, I, a local, have to say a few words about Marshal Augustus Mengsk." At this time, Dr. Narud, who was listening by the side, spoke.

What surprised Augustus was that it was full of compliments: "Augustus Mengsk is the greatest revolutionist, thinker, philosopher, and military strategist in this century, and he is one of us. King of the world, fighter of liberty, savior of the people."

"He is also the spiritual pillar of our federal rebels. It was after hearing Keha's revolutionary declaration that my old friends and I who had served in the guild war decided to rise up."

"Thank you, Dr. Narud. I have also heard about your outstanding contributions in the scientific community." Augustus said in his heart, Narud, you bastard. Fluttering, these words definitely have ulterior motives.

Of course, Augustus had to admit that what Narud said was not wrong.

"Ah, it's better to see once than to hear about it. I have been in good touch with Marshal Augustus for many days." Dr. Narud took out a stack of handkerchiefs from his blue suit pocket and wiped the sweat on his forehead imperceptibly , muttering in my heart that my identity seems to have not published any works.

Of course, it is absolutely impossible for Dr. Narud to think that there are still people in this world who can see through his identity. There is no reason for him to be exposed just after his appearance.This can only be explained as Augustus's humble rhetoric based on noble cultivation. If a doctor who can be reused by people on earth has not made any outstanding contributions, it seems unreasonable.

"Great reputation, Marshal Augustus." Dugal still had a grim expression on his face, and he didn't know that he had listened to a few words in Narud's words.

"Admirable!" Stukov raised his chin and paid more attention to Augustus: "What is your purpose in looking for us?"

"For the past few weeks, you didn't even know who we were or what we were here for."

"My fighters and I have sworn to overthrow the tyranny of the Tyrann Federation. Since the United Earth Council is attacking the Federation, I am sure that we may be on the same side." Augustus's words made Dr. Narud on the opposite side His wrinkled face trembled, as if he had just said something similar not long ago when he surrendered to the Earthlings.

"So, are you willing to help us deal with the Tyrann Federation?" It was obvious that Dugal was the supreme commander of the Earth Expeditionary Force, but his deputy, Lieutenant General Stukov, always spoke.

It has to be said that Augustus' attitude of being neither humble nor overbearing has attracted the attention of Dugal and Stukov.If this man is just a humble dog, then the generals of the Earth Council can let their officers dismiss him as they please.

"Of course, I couldn't be more happy." Augustus smiled: "When the Tyrannian Federation is about to collapse, I will definitely give it a push."

"What can you provide us? Personnel, supplies, or fleet support." Dugal asked Augustus.

"All of them." Augustus narrated very calmly, and his calm demeanor made people unable to help but believe what he said.

"Within our ability, as long as we have it, we can provide it to you."

"The strength of the Revolutionary Army is well-known in the Koprulu sector, and this material support is just a matter of effort." Dr. Narud duly added professional approval to Augustus' promise.

"Bold enough, Marshal Augustus." Stukov certainly did not believe that Augustus would do his best to practice what he said, not to mention, how could a local rebel organization in the Koprulu sector have What a lot of patience.

Earth has been monitoring the colonists of the Koprulu Sector for centuries, but has never actually intervened.

Stukov and other senior generals of the Earth Expeditionary Force had read the materials of the Tyranid Federation, Zerg, and Protoss in detail before entering the hibernation cabin of the expeditionary force fleet, and the Augustus Revolutionary Army was there, and The space is not small.

However, neither the intelligence officers who collected the information nor the generals who read the materials thought that this rebel army could threaten the Earth Expeditionary Force or become a stumbling block on their road to conquest.

Augustus' Revolutionary Army is indeed the largest rebel army in the Territory of the Tyrannian Federation, but there is not much information about their specific strength.This rebel army seems to have been engaged in guerrilla warfare and sabotage since the Kehafa home.

To put it bluntly, Augustus's people have been driven around by the government forces of the Tyrannian Federation.

The true strength of the Korhal Revolutionary Army is still a mystery. Generally speaking, the Navy Supreme Command of the Tyrannian Federation will always exaggerate the strength of the Revolutionary Army, and the politicians of the Federal Parliament are emphasizing that the rebellion has already been solved once and for all.

After all, the intelligence department of the United Earth Council is so far away from the Koprulu star sector, and the news always lags behind by several years. They are often deceived by the misleading news released by the Tyrannian Federation government.

"I believe that further cooperation can be carried out between us." Stukov said to Augustus.

"It seems that we all think that it is an unimaginable disaster and a complete tragedy for the bureaucrats of the Tyranid Federation to continue to rule this star area. Since this is the case, you and your people can still help us a little." He said Say.

"When we attacked the Tyrann Federation, you could wreak havoc in the rear of the Federation—when the Federation surrenders, the council will definitely credit you for your contribution."

Stukov's words were almost identical to those he told the other Tyranids who had defected to the Earth Expeditionary Force, and the actual situation was not much different from what he said.

According to the plan of the members of the United Earth Council, the Koprulu star area will become the bridgehead for the earth to resist the Zerg and the Zerg, a protruding nail inserted between the Zerg and the Zerg.As for whether this nail is hard enough, it all depends on the wrist of the commander of the expeditionary force.

It is true that if the settlers in the Koprulu sector can accept the rule of the earth, at least their life will not be worse than before.The real unlucky ones are the human psykers and genetic modifiers of Koplu, who are likely to be liquidated and cleaned by the earth after the war.

In order to maintain the purity of human genes, witch-hunting mass cleansing once took the lives of [-] million people on earth.

"Of course, even if you don't say so, my soldiers and I have always done so," Augustus said.

"However, I also want to know whether Admiral Dugal's Earth Expeditionary Force has the power to defeat the Federation Fleet from the front. If so, the two of us can agree on the attack time and attack front and back."

"It's only a matter of time before the Earth's fleet destroys the Federation. I think, Marshal Augustus, you must be worrying too much." Dr. Narud added that sentence in a timely manner, and seemed quite confident in the strength of the Earth Expeditionary Force.

"Very good, we will contact you then." Dugal's face twitched, and the sharp eyes became more shocking.However, it is impossible for him to say that his fleet is not sure of victory.

Narud may be suspected of exaggerating and setting Dugal on fire, but there is nothing wrong with what he said.

"However, based on the position of our allies, I have to remind you at the end, General Dugal." Augustus finally said.

"The main star of Tarsonis is the heart of the entire Tyrann Federation. The officials of the Federation Council and the founding families who really rule the entire Federation regard it as their foundation. If they want to completely defeat the Tyrann Federation, they must break into the tower. Sonny," he said.

"However, Tarsonis is the most heavily defended planet in the Tyranid Federation. According to reliable information, the Federation has strengthened the firepower of the orbital defense platform and the planetary defense system several times during the Zerg invasion. It's not an easy thing."

This kind reminder from Augustus must have won some goodwill from the Earth allies, but the intelligence personnel of the Earth Expeditionary Force must have already roughly figured out the defense power of Tarsonis.

Just like Augustus said, as an expeditionary force far away from its homeland, the Earth Expeditionary Force must make a quick decision to avoid being dragged into the quagmire of war by the Federation.Even considering the worst case scenario, the Earth Expeditionary Force must defeat the Federation within a few months, otherwise it will fall into decline and be gradually dragged down.

Then, directly attacking the heart of the Tyranid Federation or completely crushing its proud military power became one of the only options for the commander of the expeditionary force.

As long as Dugal and Stukov aren't stupid like Edmund Duke, they should figure out the defenses before attacking Tarsonis.

However, after Augustus's revolutionary army invaded Tarsonis a few years ago and frightened the elders of the Federation Council and the founding family to pieces, the Federation further strengthened Tarsonis's orbital defense system .

This project has never stopped, and it has been going on for four years now, and Tarsonis has almost been built into an impenetrable fortress planet.

"Marshal Augustus is right. As I said, Tarsonis Prime may be the most heavily defended place in the entire Koprulu sector." Dr. Narud said:
"The federal aristocrats who are greedy for life and fear death have used the wealth they have obtained from the people to strengthen the fortresses and the circular space-based defense system of Tarsonis defense. Even in terms of the military strength of the Earth Expeditionary Force Lowering the heart of the Commonwealth is no easy task, either."

"Of course I know this." Admiral Dugal was not surprised by the words of Augustus and Narud, his voice was still serious and unshakable.

"The Commonwealth is nothing but building up their sad graves."
