StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 434 Valhalla Prototype Weapons Laboratory
"This is UNN studio, the largest and best news organization in the Tyrann Federation, the best choice for you to learn first-hand information and truth, I am Doni Vormilian, and I bring you Zanadar Master Star (zanadar) Prime's live coverage of the riots from the comic Nova Bastion."

In the officer's bar of the Hyperion, Augustus and Arcturus had just finished a tense military meeting, and once again adjusted their offensive route against the Tarsonis main star.

At the moment, they are sitting behind the same table watching the UNN news recording from a week ago, taking a short break.

In late June, the Revolutionary Army fleet led by Augustus set sail again on the third day after occupying Onuru Sigma, further penetrating into the core world of the Tyrann Federation.

Augustus left a mixed army of the 11th Polar Jagers and the 44th and 56th Army Brigades to guard the planet to ensure that the newly appointed colonial government officials could more smoothly manage and implement new policies.

Thereafter, during the counter-offensive war, Onuru Sigma will serve as a transit point for the Revolutionary Army to transport supplies and replenish warships and troops.Subsequent fleets can stop at Onuru Sigma to replenish high-energy gas fuel supplies.

"This UNN reporter named Donny is a new face. He should be the son of the old Vormilian." Arcturus was holding a glass of expensive Helsein wine in his hand, which came from his wine cabinet for many years. collect.

"You remember him?" Augustus, who had a different taste for wine than Arcturus, was sipping a glass of brandy.

On the TV screens in the bar, a young reporter is telling the audience about the unrest on Zanadar Prime.The young reporter named Doni Vormilian had black hair combed back and firm eyes. He was standing next to several Marines of the Federation Omega Squadron who were standing with guns.

"I remember everyone, with a photographic eye." Arcturus said to Augustus: "He is a genius, one of the few journalists who dare to tell the truth."

"This only means that he will be hidden by UNN in a short time." Augustus turned his head and nodded to several Revolutionary Army engineers who were greeting him.

Usually, the bar on a battlecruiser is only open to officers, because the entertainment facilities on a sky battleship are obviously extremely extravagant, and there is simply no room for too many soldiers.

In the Revolutionary Army, there were no such regulations. Soldiers and officers were treated the same in many ways, but Revolutionary Army soldiers usually did not have time to come to the bar.Most of them spend their spare time training and reading revolutionary books to make sure their minds don't stray from the wise leadership of Field Marshal Augustus Mengsk.

Donnie Vormilian's live report was quickly replaced by an urgent report, and images of multiple news anchors flashed on the TV screen one after another.

"The Korha rebels headed by Augustus Mengsk have launched a full-scale attack on the government forces, and more and more marginal planets have lost contact with Tarsonis"

"In response to the call of the rebels, the riots on Veridia Prime almost paralyzed the public order of this planet" (Veridia Prime, before Amon intends to trigger the geological movement of Veridia Prime to destroy the entire planet, she once It is a prosperous, beautiful and densely populated resort.)
"Federal Treasurer McGregor was previously arrested on charges of assault, murder and possession of prohibited books. A few days ago, investigators found a bright red rebel flag and welcoming signs at McGregor's home, which means It will be even more difficult for him to clear himself of the suspicion of betraying classified federal intelligence and treason."

"...We just captured Onuru Sigma and sent small-scale troops to the nearest dozen planets." Augustus was dumbfounded.

"The Federation is already frightened."

"They probably already know that their death is imminent." Arcturus said with a smile.

UNN news is still playing:

"Bronte's main star has fallen, and the largest shipyard under the Faok Interstellar Transportation Company is under the control of the Earth Army."

"The largest ring-shaped orbital city on the synchronous orbit of Artesia's main star fell into the planet's gravitational field, and more than 60 people died in this appalling tragedy. General Cullen of Artesia believes that the invading Earthman agents sneaked into the orbit The destruction of the city caused this catastrophe."

"The disturbance of the sub-time and space channel was observed in the star system sixteen light-years away from the main star of the Tarsonis galaxy. Experts believe that it is just a natural phenomenon."

"If I were Dugal, then I would definitely capture the main star of Tarsonis within two weeks, because once this deadline is exceeded, the Tyrannian Federation fleet in most of the Koprulu sector has already heard the news and rushed to the main star world." August Stuart said to Arcturus.

"By that time, the UED expeditionary force can only look at the ocean and sigh."

"What if that's what Gerard Dugal expected?" Arcturus sipped from his glass.

"I can't believe that the mighty Tyranid Federation would be beaten to the ground by the people on Earth. If I were the one who ruled the Federation, it would have a completely different ending."

"." Augustus said with a cough.

"The Tyranid Federation doesn't know how many warships the Earthlings have, but in the eyes of members of the Federal Parliament, it is absolutely impossible for the Earthlings to dare to break into the Koprulu star zone with just a few warships."

"The Federal Parliament has always been passive, and this disadvantage will only intensify because we also have our hands."

"The Hyperion is about to exit the hyperspace transition state, and all crew members are ready." At this time, the captain's voice came from the radio channel of the Hyperion.

"Are there so soon?" Arcturus stood up, walked out of the bar with Augustus, and waved to the newly recruited bartender Cooper.

"The main star of Sigmaris is located on the outskirts of the core world of the Tyrann Federation. In comparison, it is far less famous than the other prosperous and populous core planets." Sarah Kerrigan did not know when she appeared in Augu Beside Stu, she was wearing a bright white tight-fitting ghost combat uniform.

Sacco Angelini appeared on the other side of Augustus, wearing a slim gray revolutionary uniform with a shining golden lion on his belt.Obviously, Augustus arranged for this tenth-level psyker to work as an operator in the intelligence organization of the Revolutionary Army, Oberg.

"It was Umoyan's agents who first discovered the federal secret military base on the Sigmaris main star satellite Valhalla. They sacrificed many agents who have been trained for many years to find it." Kerrigan skillfully shook her and tied it around her waist. long red ponytail.

"But judging from the information, Valhalla is just an ordinary military base. The scientists of the Tyranid Federation must be conducting some kind of unknown experiment again. It is hoped that some earth-shattering new weapons can be used to reverse the situation in one fell swoop."

When Augustus stood on the ladder of the Hyperion, Kerrigan helped him straighten his collar while reporting, causing Arcturus next to him to cast a scrutinizing gaze.

As Augustus' adjutant, Kerrigan not only had access to the most core military secrets of the Revolutionary Army, she also took care of his daily life.Kerrigan is tireless in doing the work of many, for she has superhuman physicality and doesn't want anyone else to be closer to Augustus than she is.

"It's nothing special." Arcturus said: "If it wasn't for Augustus's insistence, I don't think it is necessary for us to stay on this satellite. Time is running out, and we can only conquer the most important and most important satellites first." worth planet."

"Trust me there is nothing wrong." Augustus spread his hands.

"Do you want me to use the embarrassing things about you as a child to prove that you are a daredevil at all?" Arcturus chuckled.

"Damn it, Arcturus, I'm not a child anymore, we should look forward." Augustus looked at the expressionless Angelini next to him, and his sharp eyes made this powerful psychic The reporter was furious: "I don't remember what happened when I was a child for a long time, and I don't want to listen to it again."

"There are many times when you look at yourself more than ten years ago and you will find that it is actually a very different person."

"I agree." Arcturus said when the elevator came to a stop:

"You've changed so much that I can hardly see the little one I used to be in you, which reminds me of how old I am."

"You're only thirty-three," Augustus said.

"Alexander the Great died at this time." Arcturus regained the feeling of getting along with Augustus when he was a child. Compared with now, when they met in the federal army camp in the past, he always taught Augustus very seriously. How Gusdu should face his own life.

Now it was different. Augustus no longer needed the teachings of Arcturus.

"Don't talk about it, you can live to 48." Augustus said.

"I will live many more years, a long life." Arcturus smiled.

"Marshal, the ship is running smoothly. The Hyperion has left the state of sub-space navigation and is preparing to enter the synchronous orbit of the main star of Sigmaris." Mosley, the navigator of the Hyperion, saluted Augustus.

Augustus did not find Matt Horner on the Hyperion, because the UED invasion disrupted Matt's plan to study at Umoyan University, and he has been temporarily transferred to another Revolutionary Army flagship Served as second officer on the Artemis.

"The fleet immediately launches a surprise attack, and Duke's Alpha Squadron performs a landing mission." Augustus ordered.

"The only thing Duke is good at is this kind of task that clearly tells him what to break and what not to break. I can see that he has always wanted to make contributions—whether it is in the Federal Army or the Revolutionary Army." Ah Ketuls said.

"So I hand over the battles that require quick fixes to Alpha Squadron." Augustus said, "This old boy has been enjoying himself recently."

Outside the bridge of the Hyperion, a huge dark blue planet almost occupied the entire porthole, and a satellite of the same color was revolving around it.

Following Augustus' order, several battlecruisers accelerated towards the satellite named Valhalla, and the Hyperion's surroundings erupted with flashes of thruster acceleration and fleeting brilliant wakes.

Multiple orange-red flashes flashed on the Valhalla satellite in an instant, as if drifting sand grains, which came from the laser cannons of the federal military base.

In a few minutes, the firepower points of these federal military bases that had been fired were quickly taken away by the artillery fire of the Revolutionary Army Fleet, and the federal fighter planes parked on the Xinggang runway and launch port were blasted into scrap metal before they had time to take off.

After several rounds of overwhelming fire suppression, Alpha Squadron made a forced landing on Valhalla.In the time it took Augustus to drink a glass of wine, all the defenders of Valhalla surrendered.

"The military research facilities of this satellite can be reused." Arcturus looked at the Koplu star map for a long time, and seemed to finally understand Augustus's intention to order the attack on the Valhalla satellite.

"Its location is quite hidden, and the Sigmaris galaxy is relatively closer to Korhal IV. This planet can become a barrier for it, and no one can come and go freely in the Korha galaxy."

Arcturus is still nostalgic for his former hometown, Keha IV, and whenever he sees the scene of Keha being destroyed by a nuclear bomb, his heart will be filled with hatred for the Tyranid Federation again.

The current picture of Keha IV flashed on the main screen of the Hyperion. Just like Arcturus, Augustus never gave up on Keha. He sent a scientific research team to investigate Keha every other year. Ha in the environment after the nuclear explosion.

After all, the tragic defense of Korhal still played a role. The number of apocalypse-level nuclear bombs that actually landed on the planet was actually less than [-] instead of [-]. This allowed those areas that were not within the main strike range of the Federation to After four years it was revived again.

"This is one of the reasons why I came here." Augustus looked at the pictures on the screen sent back by the scientific expedition team for nearly a year.

Stilling, once the most prosperous city in Korha, has become a scorched ruin, and large tracts of land have been reduced to ashes, becoming a dangerous desert and radiation wasteland.It is almost impossible to rebuild the city in this area.

The other side of Keha, by contrast, has been much less battered, and is now seeing a new lease of life.

"Here." Augustus pointed to a spot on Keha: "I will build here a great city not inferior to the old Steelling, and name it after our grandfather. Keha will Once again the center of the Tyranid world."

"That's your name too." Arcturus sighed. "It's a pity that the beautiful Kehal of the past will never come back."

"Maybe, the protoss will have a way." Augustus said.

"Protoss? I heard you talk about them, how much they want to help us rebuild Korhal." Arcturus didn't like the protoss.

"The protoss don't want to pay—I've lent the protoss a hand in the past, and that's one of their rewards," Augustus said.

"No reward is the most vigilant." Arcturus thought to himself that he had to help his stupid brother guard against the Protoss.

After returning to the Revolutionary Army, Arcturus not only took over a newly formed Legion, but also took ownership of the Cerberus half-zerg transformation plan.

"Marshal, General Duke reported that his technical non-commissioned officers found many unheard-of weapons in the Federal Weapons Laboratory in Valhalla, which used a lot of incomplete next-generation technology theories." At this time, Kerrigan pointed Said a picture just uploaded to the main screen of Hyperion.

"This appears to be a prototype weapons laboratory, and many of the weapons in use in the field today, such as CMC power armor, are fully final tested here."

Augustus looked at the weapon on the screen, and his eyelids trembled. It was a design drawing of a blue monomolecular lightsaber.
