StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 427 The Big Curtain
By June 2493 AD, the offensive launched by the UED expeditionary force in galaxies such as Braxis had gradually evolved into an all-out war on an unprecedented scale, and countless federal worlds were once again shrouded in the ominous cloud of war.

"From Braxis to the vast star field of New Trinidad (New Trinidad), seven-thirteenths of the world of the Tyranid Federation has been affected." On the central connecting bridge of the Hyperion's bridge, tactical control The image of the mechanical adjutant is being projected on the stage.

"Bacchus Moon, Asteria, Choss, Altheon, Onuru Sigma, Artesia Prime, Rhine 12 (Lawndale 12), Turaxis II, Aridas, Timul IV, TarKossia, Norris VI ).”

Images of the Commonwealth Territories flashed before Augustus, his face changing color with the multicolored flashes of those planets.None of the worlds in the Commonwealth are the same, their positions in their respective stars and many factors combine to create vastly different natural environments.

The environment and resource distribution of each planet also give rise to a completely different humanistic style, and some planets are even very different.

The Bacchus satellite is a planet with a vast dark ocean. All its land area has been transformed into waterfront cities built on the water. The lights of countless ports, holiday hotels and commercial streets are on the surface of the dark blue planet. Create one shining point after another.

Joss is a desert planet with continuous high mountains. The residents there came to this planet during the last wave of colonization. The natural environment of the vast land and sparse population makes every town far apart. Mexico in the Earth Nation era is similar.

Many of these worlds survived the zerg invasion of the first Total War, but the war never seemed to stop.

Augustus can touch the planet on the holographic screen as long as he stretches out his hand, and he can see the detailed values ​​by clicking on it.

Some of the celestial systems orbiting their respective stars or planets are glowing red, which means that they are on the path of the UED expedition.Of course, most of these planets may not even see the shadow of the earth’s spaceship, but the governor of the planet still announced that he has been attacked-these attacks may come from the local federal rebels, pirates or a few Drunk man with beer bottle.

Just like in the first total war, the Tyrannian Federation Navy did not have enough troops to guard the colonies that were far apart.The people of the colony hoped that the Federation fleet would be nearby when their homeland was attacked, so they had to call on Tarsonis for help.

The turmoil brought about by the invasion of the UED expeditionary force is no less than that of the Zerg, and the Tyranid Federation is also aware that this is another all-out war that may overthrow its rule.

From the standpoint of the Augustus Revolutionary Army, it is impossible for them to help the fringe world fight against the UED fleet at this time.After all, the damage brought by the Earth Expeditionary Force is far less than that of the Zerg Swarm. They don't care about the gains and losses of a place at all, and they don't have much time to plunder the people in the occupied area.

"We have intercepted the distress signals of several colonies, and the farthest distance of these colonies is more than eight thousand light years." The mechanical adjutant finally said.

"Even Saluset is reporting that they are under full-scale attack by the Earthlings." A deep voice came from behind Augustus, and the sound of power armor combat boots stepping heavily on the bridge deck Incomparable.

"That planet is far away on the other side of the Koprulu star area. I think that even if the people on Earth really have an army of hundreds of millions, they don't need to attack that barren land first. Even if the people on Earth have a thousand warships, they won't It may be deployed on so many worlds, it must be that the earthlings used classic psychological warfare and deception tactics to mess up many worlds of the Tyrann Federation."

"As far as we know, the Earth UED Expeditionary Force is by no means as large as they claim."

"Long time no see, Lieutenant General Horace Warfield." Augustus turned his head to look at his old friend behind him: "Now even we don't know where the earthlings' fleet is."

Horace Warfield was wearing a pair of heavy off-white power armor, with golden capricorns cast on the broad shoulder armor on both sides, which was the emblem of Warfield's army.

Compared with the past, Warfield's skin has obviously become much darker, and his beard is also whiter. Only those deep pool-like eyes are still staring majestically.

General Warfield was originally stationed on the main star of Antiga, guarding multiple fringe worlds with the main star of Antiga as the core in the hands of the revolutionary army, and he was the pinnacle of that star field.

After the United Earth Council began its invasion of the Koprulu Sector, Augustus recalled Warfield's fleet.

"A week ago, the Federation's Epsilon Squadron, Deep Blue Squadron, Delta Squadron, and Ita Squadron formed a huge fleet and launched a counterattack against Black Heath to regain lost ground." Augustus said.

"No one knows how the battle of Blackheath went, but the Federation seems to have suffered a lot there again."

"The Federation doesn't know anything about the UED's military leaders, but they know the information about each of the Federation's naval fleets." Warfield stood beside Augustus.

"The only thing we can know is that the fleet of the UED expeditionary force has been in constant motion. The advanced warp drive technology and powerful frigates they brought from the earth are crucial for this fleet to be able to throw off the federal pursuit fleet. factor."

"If the commanders of the Federation are not stupid, they should know that the people on Earth came with the determination to completely defeat them." He said: "The riots caused by Dugal's people on various planets are just deceiving people. The ultimate goal must be the federal government of Tarsonis."

"The earth is [-] light years away from here. Once the UED expeditionary force is defeated, they can only be buried in this barren universe."

As the first senior federal military officer who followed the Augustus Uprising, Warfield can be said to have been entrusted with important tasks by the Marshal of the Revolutionary Army in the past few years.Few have commanded the unreserved trust of Augustus as Warfield and Reynolds.

Augustus knew very well that there is no need to be suspicious of a suspect, and his trust has also earned the loyalty and trust of his subordinates.

"Now it seems that the Federation doesn't seem to be worried about the possible fall of Tarsonis at all." Augustus retrieved the information of the main star of Tarsonis on the tactical console.

Standing behind Augustus, Warfield can naturally see the magnificent alloy steel fortresses and orbital defense platforms on the outer orbit of the main star of Tarsonis. There are so many steel fortresses guarding the main star of Tarsonis. All are covered by these space-based defense platforms that humans are proud of.

At least four full-strength Federation fleets formed during the First Total War guard Tarsonis, cruising the trade routes leading to various prime worlds.At the same time, Tarsonis is also a fully self-sufficient developed world. Hydroponic farms and food synthesis factories are enough to meet the population of Tarsonis, which soared to nearly 40 billion after the Zerg invasion.

The federal government of Tarsonis has long been prepared for a protracted war of attrition with the zerg and protoss, and the people of Earth are not afraid.

"Tarsonis has now truly become the most impenetrable human planet in the Koprulu sector. The leader of the creation family responsible for the construction of the defense system declared that it would be a line of defense that could never be surpassed. The Orbital Defense Network has no choice but to return home with hatred, and the fleet of the Protoss will also be smashed here." Augustus put his hands behind his back.

"Up to now, the Federation has thought that they can sit back and relax and command the Federation fleet in the fortress of Tarsonis to destroy the Earth invaders."

"From this point of view, Tarsonis is indeed an impossible fortress to capture." Warfield also said.

"Our fleet has nothing to do with those steel plates that can withstand naval guns and the amazingly powerful rail guns. Only the main guns of Hyperion can try." He said:
"Right now, the Federation's only concern is that this UED expeditionary force is nothing more than a reconnaissance fleet sent by Earth, and the solar system fleet that truly blocks the sky and the sun may be on the way."

"But if that is the case, there is no need for this advance fleet to startle the enemy." Augustus said.

"However, the earth's technology is definitely above ours. It took the Tarsonis 70 years to study the warp drive technology of the colonial mothership and re-enter space. The technological gap must not be ignored."

"I've already told you about the United Earth Council general named Alexey Stukov. He's a visionary general, and it's no exaggeration to say he's a master of war," he said to Warfield.

"I believe that Stukov is the brain of the Earth Expeditionary Force. He will definitely be able to find a way to break through the federal defense line. And all we have to do is wait, and wait for the real change in the Koprulu sector."

"Even the zerg failed to defeat the Tyranid Federation. You must have overestimated the earthlings, Marshal." At this moment, the bridge gate of the Huberian opened.

Several distinct footsteps came in, the first being General Edmund Duke, the commander of the Alpha Squadron now serving the Revolutionary Army.

General Duke was clenching his fists, as if he was pinching the neck of a soldier of the Earth Expeditionary Force, and he was just about to strangle him to death with a slight pinch: "The gangsters on Earth are nothing more than that, and they don't have many warships. Scary."

"Give me a fleet and I'll smash those little mud planets of Earthlings in a few standard months."

"I never knew who gave you this confidence, General. Or, in the eyes of people on Earth, we are the real bumpkins." A magnetic voice made Augustus turn around.

"Big Mengsk is right, you are a country bumpkin." Colonel Harnack Hank's flamboyant voice followed closely.

"Shut up, you country mud leg, I'm going to send you an arsonist to prison!" Duke's violent temper never had a good time.

"Arcturs, brother, you are here." Augustus' cold gray eyes lit up.

"I have a hunch that the final moment for us to overthrow the Tyranid Federation is coming." Arcturus Mengsk was wearing a black square-necked cloak with bronze epaulets and copper buckles, and the red cloak was lined with gold thread Painted with the Mengsk Golden Wolf.

Augustus stepped forward and hugged his brother.

"Miss me?" Arcturus is 32 years old this year, and he is even stronger than Augustus, like an upright lion, with gray brows that seem to gather a storm.

For years, Arcturus ran his mines outside the Koprulu Sector.Arcturus is a person who can share joys and sorrows with his subordinates to achieve the goal. He also often participates in the daily work of the mine, and even personally presides over the work of digging the mine.

Arcturus has never stopped tempering his body. It is said that no one in the mine has ever defeated him in swordsmanship, marksmanship, fighting and chess.

"Of course." Augustus thought for a moment.

Probably, a little bit.

"How are mother and Dorothy?" asked Augustus.

"Why don't you ask how I am?" Arcturus asked back.

"Brother, you look as strong as a lion." Augustus thought again.

"Have you decided to marry Julianna? What should Valerian tell other people about his parents?"

"No, this revolution is at its climax, how can I get married." Arcturus found an excuse, paraphrasing the words from those ancient books on Earth that he had read.

"This body has promised revolution."

"Hehe, I know what you are most afraid of is bondage." Augustus smiled: "Whether it is the father, or the family represented by Juliana and Valerian."

"Okay, this matter will definitely come to an end, but not now." Arcturus said in his heart that I didn't ask you to bury me by digging mines to support your army.But based on Arcturus' deep love for his younger brother, he didn't care about it at all.

"I brought the sons of Korhal, and they swore to be the first to ascend Tarsonis, to avenge Korhal," he said.

"You've been waiting for an opportunity, and it's neither Protoss nor Zerg, but Earthlings. Now, Earthlings are here."

"When everything is settled, we will take over the Koprulu sector, not the Federation and Earth." Arcturus's eyes seemed to be condensed with lightning and thunder, which was breathtaking.

"Here I come, Augustus."

"General Ledbetter (Ledbetter) of the Tyranid Federation was ordered in the face of danger, and was appointed by the federal supreme command as the garrison commander of Tarsonis. Several federal fleets were transferred to the core world around the main star of Tarsonis." In Huber Li'an's mechanical adjutant was still relaying the report.

Augustus and his generals turned to the porthole of the bridge. Outside the window was the entrance of the sub-time channel like a blue oil film. Thousands of golden and red battlecruisers and fighter planes of the Revolutionary Army were crossing the channel.

"Lock the coordinates of New Folsom - the largest prison used by the Tyranid Federation to detain political prisoners and rebel prisoners." Augustus said to the intelligent adjutant: "Let us first rescue all the imprisoned revolutionary comrades .”

"Unleash the wolves of war."
