StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 437 Another Victory

In the seventh hour after the outbreak of the Battle of Sigmaris, Augustus's flagship, the Hyperion, followed up with the Iron Justice, Norad III, and King's Fury, and jointly destroyed the Sigma Squadron's flagship that refused to surrender. Thanatos and another Federation battleship, the Mortis.

This decision was finalized with one blow, and it also brought an end to the most tragic battle in human history in the Koprulu Sector.

There were so many hulks and wreckage, and tens of thousands of people lost their lives.

Only eleven of the lightly damaged Tyrannian Federation battlecruisers broke through, and the rest were either completely destroyed and became a huge piece of scrap iron floating in space, or were surrounded by groups and could not use the auxiliary engine to break through. The channel for the emergency jump is difficult to fly with wings.

"It's all over," said Arcturus Mengsk in the space of a breath.

Directly below the Hyperion, the Federation battleship named Mortis was heading towards destruction uncontrollably.Iron Justice's focused and compressed Yamato guns hit the Mortis impartially, the explosion piercing through multiple decks and causing an even more horrific disaster in the engine room.

Cracks and orange-yellow flames spread all over the surface of the Mortis. Its newly installed fine steel armor has become outdated and old in the era when the Yamato cannon was installed. There has never been such a weapon that can completely disable a costly capital ship with a single blow.

In the other direction, the Thanatos, the flagship of Sigma Squadron, sandwiched between the Norad II and the King's Fury, was still trying to speed away, but the violent explosion was tearing it to pieces.

This federal flagship carries at least [-] to [-] crew members. They are in a real purgatory on earth. Every moment, soldiers and crew members are torn apart by explosions or burned to death. The Thanatos It will become a real grave of death.

"The captain of the Mortis contacted us through the public channel, and he is willing to surrender if the Revolutionary Army sends a lifeboat to rescue his crew." A Revolutionary Army communications sergeant who was sitting in the command chair reported to Augustus .

"Let Captain Davis do this." Augustus turned to the main screen, and then a photo of a revolutionary army appeared on it. It was a young female officer with beautiful pale blond hair.

"This is the order of the marshal."

"The Thanatos is finished. It's a flagship. During the war, it took tens of thousands of people to work day and night to build such a ship." Arcturus turned and left. Go down the stairs connecting the two ships: "See what we can do?"

"It is not wise to set foot on a ship that is going to ruin," said Augustus, looking back at Arcturus.

"If there are thousands of people on this battleship, would they rather be burned to death, poisoned to death, crushed to pieces by uncontrolled gravity, or would they rather live until tomorrow?" Arcturus didn't look back, the gray The eyes are motionless, like hard Neosteel.

"After I kill all disobedients, they will know whose feet they should crawl at."

"...Bring my guards." Augustus said bluntly, almost forgetting that his elder brother Arcturus was also a star-like figure in the army.He uses soldiers like a god, is ruthless and decisive, has superb military capabilities and broad qualities.

When Arcturus walked out of the gate of the bridge, the guarding soldiers saluted.

Arcturus is now wearing a standard Revolutionary Army Staff Officer military uniform. The dark blue military uniform has the wolf head logo of the Mengsk family on it, and the red trouser line matches his straight waist.

Augustus’s subordinates gathered almost the most famous generals among the Tyranids, Edmund Duke——Horace Warfield——Jim Raynor——Matt Horner are all from the Tyrann Empire. General of the period, which made him almost ignore Arcturus's military talent.

"Arcturus has a monster in his heart," said Sarah Kerrigan, who had been standing beside Augustus.

"Those Union soldiers who resisted him were doomed."

Far from being interested in Augustus' family, Kerrigan had tried to probe Arcturus's mind with his powerful telepathic abilities, only to find that the man was quite honest with him.

Of course, Arcturus Mengsk's mind is an endless labyrinth, and even the most powerful Ghost agents are only half-aware of his ambitions.

In Arcturus's heart, his mother, younger siblings are the most important, followed by Angus' family, and then his ambitions in the political field.

And Arcturus also thought that he had nothing to hide from Kerrigan, and he even bluntly said that this woman could stand beside Augustus only because of his brother's preference.Arcturus will never allow anyone to hurt his younger brother. Since he was a child, he has always cared for Augustus and his sister Dorothy. This kind of love is not fake even in Kerrigan's eyes of.

Of course, Arcturus doesn't like Kerrigan very much, that's for sure - a dangerous woman who comes out of nowhere and stays by Augustus's side all the time is really called Arcturus Difficulty sleeping and eating.

He prefers that Kerrigan is a woman who is easy to control, after all, she should be a noble daughter like his mother Catherine.

"He will never cut those people into pieces." Augustus shook his head, not worried about his brother at all.

Arcturus is the kind of person who has a clear mind and knows what he is doing all the time. He will not do things entirely driven by hatred and passion.Few people can see through Arcturus' true nature hidden in his kind and gentle face, he is a real scourge.

Augustus still regarded Arcturus as a close relative, not alienated because he knew what he had done.

At least for now, compared to the young man in the past who didn't care about politics and felt incomprehensible or even embarrassed about his father's enthusiasm for revolution, Arcturus has only become much more mature and more sophisticated.

Arcturus has not lost everything, his hometown, all his family and tens of millions of people in Keha.

"Let's report a rough statistical report."

"The fleet completely destroyed fourteen Tyrannian Federation warships, and the dispatched landing force captured seven of the damaged warships, and three of them continued to fight back. However, it was only a matter of time before their final defeat," Kerrigan said. .

"What about us?" Augustus asked immediately.

"Four ships were severely damaged, and two were completely destroyed. They are all old-fashioned Leviathans and the earliest behemoth-class battlecruisers. They lack a defense matrix and their engines are relatively backward. Facing the desperate counterattack of the Federation warships Powerless to get out," Kerrigan said.

"[-] to [-] Revolutionary Army soldiers lost in this battle, while the Federal Army lost more than ten times that."

"I heard reports that two federal warships directly rammed our warships in order to cover the retreat of friendly forces, causing the Antigone and the Fist of Liberty to be almost destroyed." Augustus knew that if it wasn't for the Hyperion With a great show of power, the number of casualties and losses of the revolutionary army will at least double.

Although the number of casualties of the Revolutionary Army made Augustus uncomfortable, it was within acceptable limits.This is a huge federal fleet rather than those pirates who only dare to bully caravans and military outposts. Considering the worst outcome, this is very likely to be a tragic victory.

After losing most of the fleet, even the size of the Tyrannian Federation Navy will inevitably suffer serious damage. You must know that they are now gathering forces to deal with the Earth's UED fleet that may have penetrated into the core world.

It is difficult to replenish the lost warships in a short time. Both the Revolutionary Army and the UED have made it difficult for ordinary federal navy squadrons to parry. Unless the federal navy wins a key victory in the next short time, otherwise this kind of enemy The situation will only get worse.

Considering the "popularity" of the Tyranid Federation in the Koprulu star sector, the Camerian Federation and Umoyan would only applaud, wishing to add fire.

"The two Federation warships may be full of resocialized soldiers inside, and the commander would not hesitate to order them to crash into a satellite." Kerrigan replied.

"Where did they get so many criminals? Even the number of soldiers killed by the Federation over the years far exceeds the number of executed prisoners." Augustus snorted.

"We knew that they were experimenting with ordinary people, transforming living people into dehumanized dead. But if we can control the mainstream media of the Tyrann Federation and make this public, more people will definitely respond to the revolution call," he said.

"Unless we occupy the UNN headquarters building in Tarsonis again, the Federation will always be able to hide its crimes. But as long as the revolution can finally win, the liquidation of the Federation's crimes will win the praise of the people and achieve a smooth transition of power It’s also logical.”

"As long as they have heard of the Federation's evil deeds such as human body modification, genetic programming, and the introduction of Zerg, the people of the Tyrann Federation will know how evil and untrustworthy their government is." Kerrigan thought of her tragic childhood.

"The federal government has too much black material, so that these things are not the scariest ones." Augustus looked sideways at the main screen of the Hyperion, and opened the communication channel of the entire fleet.

"I am Marshal Augustus Mengsk. The entire fleet clears the battlefield as quickly as possible. Solve the enemy ships that are still struggling, rescue the wounded, salvage the hulks, and search for all valuable spoils."

Every battlecruiser is of amazing value. For the revolutionary army that is used to living a poor life, it can be reused. loss.

At the same time, tens of thousands of federal soldiers were captured, and they could completely become the new force of the revolutionary army.

Outside the bridge porthole of the Hyperion, a landing force led by Arcturus Mengsk is forcibly landing on the Sigma Squadron flagship Thanatos.This is an elite force mainly composed of the sons of Keha and the old guards, and Arcturus, who was still collecting money in the mine some time ago, has rushed in with a spike gun.

"I'm Tychus, and I've taken down the flagship of Delta Squadron." At this time, Tychus' old face, which was crippled by eating too much recently, appeared on the screen.

"This is their commander. What is his name? General Green? When I rushed into the bridge, he was about to swallow his gun and kill himself. But it seems that this guy is reluctant to part with his own life."

Tychus brutally brought a federal navy general who had been beaten bruised and swollen to the screen. It was a middle-aged man with sunken eyes and a black beard. blood.

"Well done, Tychus." Augustus yelled.

"You are General Green? The hero who fought against the Zerg during the First All-Out War, and hundreds of millions of Commonwealth people were saved by your bravery on the front line of Atticus." He recognized the man.

"I salute you, I'm Augustus Mengsk."

"Boy of the Mengsk family, when we were fighting bloody Zerg, you and your people wreaked havoc in the federal territory and lured wolves into the house." General Green spat at Augustus, and immediately called Tekai Spoon gave him a big slap.

Mr. Tychus doesn't care what heroes are, and it doesn't matter to him.It is true that Tychus admires heroes in his heart, but in his opinion, the only heroes in the world are him, Jim Raynor and Augustus Mengsk, and Harnack Hank barely counts as half of them.Everything else really doesn't count.

"Tychus, have some respect for the general." Regarding General Green's accusation, Augustus just kept smiling.

"Shall I tell you about the story of us confronting billions of bug swarms and protoss fleets in the Sara and Antiga galaxies and saving millions of people? My warriors and I have set foot on the main hive world of the Zerg , as far as the protoss home planet Aiur," he said.

"I've seen wars from the surface of a planet to geosynchronous orbit - with countless deaths and injuries over months, and seen the destruction of the Zerg Overlord before my eyes."

"General, if you believe what you want to believe, then there is nothing to talk about between us." Augustus put his hands behind his back, and the black cloak he was wearing cast a long black cloak on the bridge of the Hyperion. shadows.

"I only give you one chance, surrender or not?"

The picture ends when General Green lowers his high head.

"Our victory at Sigmaris must be announced," Augustus said after a while.

"The right to speak of the media is still firmly in the hands of the Federation. Any regime determined to establish power to control the people will not hand it over to others. With the control of the UNN, they have no control over the Revolutionary Army. Your slanders will always be faster than we can clear them up," Kerrigan said, shaking her head.

"Our achievements on the fringes and our efforts to subvert the Federation have been downplayed."

"Then find a way to spread it through other channels, or make this war more intense." A map of the Koprulu star region flashed on the main screen in front of Augustus, and many planets jumped on it.

"Noris Guard VI, one of the largest resocialized soldier manufacturing factories in the Tyranid Federation. Next, as long as it is taken there, the Federation will have no soldiers to use."
