StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 439 You Know Too Much

The Revolutionary Army's attack on Norris Guard VI was as resolute and swift as in every battle they had fought in the past.

Augustus was standing in front of the huge bridge porthole of the Hyperion, his face with a determined expression was illuminated by the continuous gunfire outside the window.Thousands of miles away, a behemoth-class battlecruiser belonging to the Tyrannian Federation Navy was under intensive fire from several revolutionary warships.

After a moment of dazzling flash, multiple balls of fire erupted from the Federation battleship, and the resulting frightening gap immediately made it completely lose power, turning into an iron coffin floating in the universe that was gradually cooling down.Untold numbers of sailors and soldiers lost their lives, and they were wiped out in the blink of an eye.

Augustus closed his eyes, and the image of soldiers howling and struggling in the burning hulk immediately appeared in front of his eyes—whether it was from the Federation or the Revolutionary Army.

I have sinned deeply.

A Federal Wraith fighter jet with its engine on fire broke into Augustus' field of vision, and a dense barrage of bullets followed closely under the guidance of the sensor array. Melted in the middle, leaving only fleeting sparks.

Another Federation fighter plane was chasing by more Revolutionary Army fleets trying to get close to the famous flagship of the Revolutionary Army, the Huberian. The Federation pilots of these fighter planes no longer had the expectation of returning to the hangar safely.

"Blast them all to slag and burn them to ashes." Arcturus tried to issue orders to the Hyperion's intelligent fire control system, but he actually did not have such authority.

"Frustrated! Ashes blown up!"

Then, before being fired one by one by the Hyperion's twin laser cannons, the swarming Federal Wraiths launched multiple air-to-air twin missiles, but that was nothing more than the light golden defensive matrix guard. Ripples appeared on the shield.

"Another war," said Augustus. "I always hope it's the last."

"Where did your desire to destroy come from?" Augustus looked through the power armor on Arcturus and landed on the saber at his waist.Arcturus is able to use most of the firearms in the army proficiently, but he is also used to cold weapons. According to him, that is when the firearms are not useful.

"From the time when I most wanted to end the enemy." Arcturus looked at Augustus and said: "War has never been the ultimate goal of revolution, but the means by which we accomplish this great cause."

"This is war, and when you're on the bridge listening to the symphony and drinking hot coffee, the soldiers have brought victory," he said.

"Isn't that what you did? And you started a thousand wars just to stop the war that would end up destroying everyone."

"This is not something that can be summed up in such a simple way." Augustus said suddenly: "Acturs, maybe you are the one who is really suitable to lead the revolutionary army."

"I'm not the person everyone expects, they only recognize you now, the Revolutionary Army, the Umoyan Council, and those who have been oppressed by the Tyranid Federation - there are tens of thousands of them." Arcturus used his tricks The armored iron glove patted Augustus on the shoulder, feeling the burden and pressure of the other party.

"If you want to let go of the burden, now is not the time. How many people are waiting for you to fulfill the promise of the past, to overthrow the Federation, and to create a truly beautiful world, in that world, there is reward for work, and the just people will not suffer. Wronged, kind and selfless will not be harmed," he said.

"As you know, that is an ideal world." Augustus sighed.

"The idealist is the one who builds the garden." Arcturus smiled.

"It's too late to escape now."

"It's all Angus' fault." Augustus said with his hands on his hips, "I should have killed my relatives at the beginning, stabbed Angus to death, and then told the people in the Federation that my father was just insane, and Keha never responded. meaning."

"I agree." Arcturus asked. "I'd like to ask you why you didn't do that."

"Augustus, you are destined not to be a mediocre person. People in the Mengsk family were born to build great things."

"You think of me too great." Augustus said: "I was thinking, what if one day they find that I am not as good as I imagined?"

"I'm sure you can do better. If I were me, I wouldn't think of forming an alliance with the protoss monsters who steal minds." Arcturus said to Augustus: "Imagine, you It’s done well enough, all that’s left to do is keep it up.”

"You're going to succeed, Augustus. Our detractors only make us stronger." He said something he had said to Augustus in the past.He says.

"Since I was born in Mengsk's family and lived an ordinary life, it would be too boring."

"We've always had your back no matter what. Although Angus never said it, he did always worry about you. Mum stopped watching the news for fear of hearing your bad news. Dorothy still read your stories. , but isn’t that too childish.”

"That's a fairy tale." Augustus felt a burst of relief.

"That's great." Harnack has been standing behind Augustus, he lowered his head: "There is nothing better than knowing that your family is waiting for you to go back after a war is over. .”

"I have to say that Dorothy Mengsk is really beautiful. She looks like you. You know I admire people who look like you the most. Sometimes I wonder why it looks so similar. Simply, you are actually twins?"

"You know too much, Hank." Augustus knew that Hanak coveted his sister. Of course, the red-haired boy liked all the beautiful women, and he would never refuse.

"Dorothy has grown up." Arcturus pointed out with heartache: "She is already twenty years old, a big girl. There is a long line of suitors for Umoyan in front of Dorothy." , but those bastards are absolutely impossible to succeed."

"What did you do?" Augustus guessed some: "You did well, Arcturus, they should have waited to see her until she was twenty-two. And then Dorothy would not make a mistake judgment."

"I hired a few psykers and let them read those bastard thoughts, I couldn't believe it, ah, even greyhounds are good at running and plundering, and pigs are sensitive and loyal, but they are really inferior to pigs and dogs ’ said Arcturus.

"Perhaps, love is hazy, just put all your thoughts on the bright side," Kerrigan, who has been listening quietly, said cautiously.

"Dorothy is probably a lot smarter than you all."

"Of course, but who can guarantee that she won't fall in love with treacherous people." Augustus liked his sister the most.

"There are too many people who are good at defrauding hearts." The man Arcturus said was himself, who, many years ago, despicably deceived Valerian's mother Julienna: A woman in love is dull, and a clever thief takes advantage of that."

"But in that case, how can Dorothy have a chance to grow up?" Harnack said.

"Mind yourselves first, gentlemen." Kerrigan could not help revealing her poisonous potential.

"I'm Warfield, the Federation Fleet is retreating." At this time, Warfield's report sounded.

"They are jumping away, do you want to order the fleet to continue the pursuit?"

"Pause the pursuit, it might be a trap." Augustus quickly made a judgment.

Not all the naval admirals of the Tyrannian Federation were impotent, and even people like Edmund Duke knew the tactics of pretending to retreat to draw the enemy into the encirclement.

"This is Duke. Alpha Squadron is requesting support. We encountered enemy forces at the landing site of the Metis Mountains in Norris. Their number is several times that of the landing force. Repeat." Duke's voice came from the bridge at this time came from one side.

"Details about the situation at the landing point." Augustus knew that something must have gone wrong with the battle plan, after all, the battlefield is changing rapidly.He immediately walked towards the star chart platform with Arcturus, and drove aside Tychus Finley, who was standing next to him and browsing the review website of the custom shop.

Generally speaking, Edmund Duke, who is so proud of his face, has always refused to call for help from his allies unless he was convinced that he would probably be doomed on his own.

In the Norris landing battle, the Alpha Squadron led by Edmund Duke was the first to break through the alien's orbital defense firepower network, and the victory should have been within easy reach.

"The damn Federal bastards have been waiting for us. The fortifications are buried deep in the ground, and those machines and cannons are coming out of the ground." Duke was leaning on the edge of a huge crater, his white beard trembling. , roaring to make Alpha Squadron stand firm, while people in white power armor kept jumping over.

"There were Confederate soldiers everywhere, if you remember when we were fighting bugs in Ayr, that's it now - Confederate soldiers carrying flags and rifles everywhere."

"Oh, I gotta call it: I'm the crowd, that cerebrate in the lab keeps saying that," Tychus grumbled.

Augustus's pet, the domesticated one, was indeed housed in the Hyperion's laboratory, being fed by Egon Stetman.That brain worm can control the Zerg that tends to become wild after the master dies, which is extremely valuable to Augustus.

Arcturus also had high hopes for the brain worm, because he hoped to be able to replace the human soldiers to fight for himself by manipulating the worm swarm.

Even so, controlling a proud cerebrate is no easy feat, and they will never be controlled by anything other than a master.But in the final analysis, brain worms are also advanced intelligent creatures with thoughts and even personalities, and their personalities are often closely related to the combat methods and functions of their exclusive groups.

As long as he has a mind, then Arcturus has the confidence to drive a brain worm to fight for himself. If it is not possible, he also has the Cerberus plan to control the Zerg through neural modification and machinery.

"Norris is the largest resocialization factory in the Federation and the central hub for sending soldiers to the entire Federation. They are likely to send all the newly manufactured soldiers in the factory to the front line." Arcturus said.

"After so many years, it has long been unnecessary for doctors to operate on the brain one by one in socialized surgery."

"Support will be here soon." Augustus looked at Tychus who was looking around.

"General Holle." Immediately after, he connected to the Nova Squadron commander's communication: "I want you to lead your troops immediately to provide fire support to Duke's ground troops, and don't worry about ammunition."

"I want no prisoners, but Norris."

"Colonel Prior, lead your assault divisions to that location at once. Rundstein, get your 3rd and 4th Infantry Divisions ready for battle," said Augustus.

"Mira Han, I know you're on the largest space station in Norris," Augustus said.

"What? You want me to smash it into Norris' atmosphere right now? Oh, you're a genius—you almost stole my heart, though that will always belong to the handsome, suave pony."

"Where is so much nonsense, I want you to use the space station's uplink code to cut off Norris's connection with the Federation, now." Augustus turned to Tychus.

"Tychus, I have a task to delegate to you."

"Then there are federal soldiers everywhere, why do I always go to rescue that bastard Duke." Tychus' expression changed immediately.

"Think about it, being rescued by the villain he hates the most is the thing Duke is most ashamed of." Arcturus said: "The thing he can't let go of is the little pride that is not worth mentioning."

"You're right." Tychus thought for a moment.

"I'm going to give you an elite soldier, and land from here, another originally planned landing point." Augustus opened the satellite scanning map of Norris Guard VI, and put his finger on a marked shadow.

"It's a hundred miles from Duke's snake." Tychus knew a little about military affairs, too.

"But that's in the other direction of the Federal Resocialization Plant, in the... ocean?"

"That's right, that's where you're going to land." Augustus said, "What I'm going to assign to you is about a company of Reapers equipped with state-of-the-art jetpacks and oxygen masks that can directly Break into the factory."

"Norris' federal commander must have focused most of his attention on Alpha Squadron in the front, and you are the heavenly soldiers."

"No wonder you insisted on asking me to try the new equipment that can go to the sky and go to the ground, but that is indeed what this unit should do - to cross the dangerous terrain that is insurmountable for ordinary people, and attack from the unexpected position of the enemy!" Tai Case thought about it.

"The Reaper company has assembled on the deck." Kerrigan said: "It is estimated that in 15 minutes, the transport ship will be able to take you to the scheduled landing position."

"You're very smart, Mr. Finley." Arcturus also thought that Tychus Finley was a real titan—this kind of person was extremely difficult to tame, just like a wild beast, it was difficult to get close to and trust humans, but Arcturus Tours was convinced that Augustus must hold the reins of Tychus.

"I like people like you best, Mengsk, honest and reliable, love soldiers like a son, and never betray your comrades. I will come back when I go." Tychus said: "We will talk about it later."

As the elder brother of Augustus, Arcturus is a great figure in the eyes of Tychus, rich.

"He's mocking you," Augustus said.

"Mr. Finley is rare to praise." Arcturus frowned: "As the saying goes, evil people have good words."
