StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 448 The Death of Constantine
The elevator leading to the bottom floor of the Terra Sky Tower went smoothly, and there were no unexpected changes, but the war outside still showed no signs of subsiding.

Zebedia Terra, who was holding her sister Nova in her arms, came to the spacious private underground hangar under the protection of the family guards around her, and walked quickly through dozens of land suspension vehicles that cost tens of millions of federal credits. , flying cars, private yachts and even bigger spaceships.The launch channel of the spacecraft leads directly to the outside world, even if it takes off quickly underground, it is not any problem.

Among Tarsonis's many powerful founding families and great merchants, such hangars are nothing more than a small one.Constantine, the head of the Terra family, doesn't have much interest in luxury cars, and the family business he holds is the manufacturer of these cars.

The underground hangar is full of armed security personnel and armed servants, and a loyal butler Sander is directing them.Meanwhile, many more are walking in.

"Master Zebei, thank God, you are safe and sound." The butler was dressed in a tuxedo and crisp black trousers, with a spotless white shirt underneath.He has a straight waist, and even his hairstyle is as meticulous as his own.

Jacob Sander, a thin, dark-haired man with a gun and a short sword behind his back, and shiny leather boots.

"Is there any news about father and mother?" Zebedia put Nova down and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of his hand.

This little girl who is only ten years old and has no experience in the world is heartbroken and hiccups from crying.

The last time Zebedia saw Nova crying was when she was very young, and since she was a little older, she has become more and more mature that does not belong to this age.

"Can't reach them," Sander replied.

In the city center of Tarsonis, especially near the Sky Tower of the Creator Family, there are extremely advanced electromagnetic interference devices, but the people on Earth have easily paralyzed almost all communications.

"Master Constantine is meeting the distinguished guests who came from afar at the top level. He is surrounded by the most trustworthy guards and agents. It is the top level of protection. No one can get close to him." He continued.

"Madam is far away at the Osborne Automobile Factory, and she is protected by the most elite armed forces of the Tyra family."

"Is this the attack method of the people on Earth?" Even Zebedia knew that this was absolutely fatal to the command system of the Terra Federation army.If the Federal High Command couldn't figure out where its own armies were, it was even less likely that they would know where the enemy was.

"Please board the ship immediately, the loyal servants of the Taila family will escort you to leave." The steward bowed and said.

"A galaxy hopper is the quickest way to reach a starport on Terra, but during a war any civilian craft could be a target for both sides. It was flown by the best pilot, Andrei, who had been on the first In the total war, he drove the transport ship and competed with different dragons in the air many times, creating a miracle of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds."

"What should father and Clara do if we leave on this ship?" It was impossible for Zebedia to acquiesce that her father and sister had been murdered by earth assassins and hybrid monsters.

"You don't have to worry about this. There are absolutely enough manpower and ships, and there are enough alternatives to deal with all possible situations." The steward said.

"Then is this situation expected now?" Zebedia's rhetorical question made the other party speechless for a while.

"The master said that if he dies at the last moment, you will be the leader of the Taila family." The steward hesitated for a moment.

"What the hell is he thinking?" Zebedia's expression changed.

The leader of the Terra family, Constantine Terra, had anticipated the current situation long ago, so he was fully prepared.Ten years ago, if someone said that Tarsonis might fall, Constantine would only think it was a funny joke.

About a month ago, when the UED Expeditionary Force first invaded, many founding families had already secretly sent some family members and heirs to the planets attached to the family to temporarily avoid the front, and at the same time transferred and delivered property, preparing to , Bring them back when the war is clear.

During the first all-out war of the zerg and protoss invasions, the founding families of Tarsonis did just that.

However, there are still quite a few members of the founding family, because Tarsonis has their inheritance accumulated for generations, and it is impossible to let it go.

The Terra family was also planning to do the same. For example, another Huot family who had a good relationship with Keha sent the heir to Umoyan.But the eldest sister, Clara, was unwilling to leave, and Nova was too young, so the parents were naturally worried.

Moreover, at that time they did not expect the offensive of the UED expeditionary force to be so swift and violent.

"What's the situation outside? Has the orbital defense force on the outer space orbit of Tarsonis and the planetary defense force been defeated? Why did the enemy appear in the urban area of ​​Tarsonis?" Just before the evacuation, Zebedi Ya still thinks he has to figure out what's going on, he's always been the one to make his own judgments and decisions instead of leaving everything up to his parents.

Just escape from here, if you plunge headlong into the very center of the battlefield, you will really be looking for a dead end.

Zebedia, who is only 15 years old, is already helping his father manage the family business. He is both an elegant nobleman and a capable and courageous heir. No one will treat him as an ignorant child.

"We can't contact anyone - the communication channels of the Federal Parliament, the Tarsonis Police Department, the Federal Security Service, the FBI, and the army have all been strongly interfered with." Butler Sander looked grim.Since the communication equipment has failed, even the layers of the Sky Tower of Terra cannot be contacted.

"But even with the eyes one can probably understand that no matter what the Federation's Tarsonis defense forces are doing now, the Earthlings have landed on the surface of Tarsonis, and their army and captive genetically modified monsters have appeared directly on the surface of Tarsonis. The urban area and even the city center of Tarsonis City," he said.

"I'm afraid that there is no place in Tarsonis that is absolutely safe. Now, we can only hope that the federal army can successfully repel the attack of the UED expeditionary force and defend Tarsonis."

"My God, Zebedia. Joe told me that the Earthlings' assassins have infiltrated the Sky Tower of Terra. Where's Dad?" At this time, a young and beautiful blonde woman walked through a heavily guarded gate under the guard of servants. He came in with a look of anxiety and panic on his face.She is Clara Terra, the eldest sister of Zebedia and Nova.

Clara was wearing a creamy white boat-neck silk shirt. The excess hem of the shirt was neatly tucked into orange-striped pencil pants, with a belt that cinched her waist to outline a pear-shaped figure.

Clara's high-heeled silver Oxfords were still snapping as she ran towards Zebedia, and her black wool shawl was out of shape.It seemed that Clara had just dressed up for a lesson with a private tutor when she was brought here by anxious servants.

Until now Clara has not figured out what happened.Clara was just screaming and crying like a normal woman when the servants initially told her that someone had broken into Terra Sky Tower to kill her father.

"I don't know, we can't contact him yet." Zebedia also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her sister Clara. Their army appeared even in the city center."

"Then what should we do?" Clara asked in panic.

"It is no longer feasible to seek refuge with other families and federal military fortresses, and I am worried that even running to the port will not help." Zebedia thought for a moment and calmly pointed out this point:
"The military port of Tarsonis must be the priority target of the UED, and then the large civilian port will soon fall." He said: "Galaxy jumpers have warp drives, and it is not a problem to escape directly from Tarsonis, as long as they avoid Fleets at war will do."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Clara spun a few times on the spot, her high heels snapping: "Dad, he will be fine, huh? Let's go quickly."

"." Zebedia gritted his teeth, knowing that he had to make a decision immediately.

"Daddy, he's here." At this time, Nova, who had been clutching Zebedia's clothes tightly and buried her head on his back, said suddenly.

Zebedia immediately raised his head and shouted: "Get ready for battle!"

Several family servants walked quickly into the underground hangar, but almost everyone was injured.Their faces were full of horror, as if they were hiding from some kind of unstoppable man-eating monster.

These people are Constantine's personal bodyguards, and they are also people familiar to Zebedia.

"Where is Constantine Terra?" Zebedia said, grabbing one of them.

"Monster! Monster!" But the other party's face was only pale, and the shaking pupils were not symmetrical.He trembled all over, and could hardly utter a complete sentence.

It was a man with light blue eyes, who turned out to be a wraith fighter pilot who had repeatedly made great achievements in the war against the Zerg.It is reasonable to say that he should have seen many weird and twisted Zerg, but he has never been scared out of his wits.

"Who can answer my question." Zebedia let him go with a sinking face.

"He's dead!" said another who had just entered.He used to be a captain of the Federation Navy. After retiring from the army, he accepted Constantine's high-level employment as an instructor for the servants of the Terra family.

"That monster killed everyone. He cut people's arteries alive, and used the flowing blood to draw pictures of evil gods on the ground." He held Zebedia's shoulder and kept coughing up blood from his mouth .

"Run, or it will be too late."

"Run, little mouse in the gutter." A huge shadow appeared outside the door, and then, two arms covered with dense carapace opened the door that was about to close.The collapsed door immediately crushed the family guards guarding there, followed by the sound of bones breaking.

"If you want to live, then draw your sword at me."

That was not the hybrid Zebedia had seen, the current one was obviously much larger, it walked on the blood-stained marble floor with a pair of extremely thick legs, each of its arms holding a dead man.

It has a huge mouth that is extremely terrifying, and its gap seems to be big enough to swallow a car.

"How could it be?" Clara slumped on the ground as soon as she saw the monster. She covered herself, tears streaming down her face.

Her father, the man who had treasured it for the past 20 years, was being bitten in the mouth by that monster.Konstantin Tella, who had power over Tarsonis, had only half of his body left, blood dripping from his hanging hands.

Zebedia had cold hands and feet. He always took chances, thinking that his father might escape.But thinking about it, in front of such a monster, no human could be its opponent, even human psykers seemed small and fragile.

Hybrids were originally born for destruction.

A piercing pain nearly overwhelmed Zebedia, and he tried to cover his sister's eyes, but it was too late.

Zebedia was surprised to find that at some point, Nova's beautiful green eyes gradually lost their luster, and suddenly turned completely golden again, and an unprecedented wave of psionic energy was rising extremely.

For so long, Nova has lived a life of luxury like a princess, and she has never seen real death.And now, she was watching her beloved father die in front of her.

And for a high-level psychic, intense stimulation can greatly stimulate his latent psychic power, which is why the psychic plans of the Terra Federation always seem frantic.

"How delicious and delicious" the hybrid almost immediately locked onto Nova in the crowd.It still holds the remains of Constantine in its mouth, but it uses psionic energy instead of its mouth to make a sound.

Then, under the terrified eyes of everyone, the hybrid exposed its neck covered with hard scales in front of humans, and proudly raised its huge head with a pair of huge crowns on it.

It opened its mouth like a snake and swallowed Constantine directly.

"Is this the feeling of devouring? This is the ascension! I have ushered in the ascension!" It roared violently:
"This feels so good—"

All of a sudden, the extremely terrifying spiritual energy frightened everyone, and everyone present fell to their knees under the weight of some invisible pressure, even the seemingly extremely powerful hybrid was unable to move.

Zebedia half-kneeled in front of Nova, bright red blood left from her mouth and nose, as if she was about to be crushed by gravity.With difficulty, he moved in front of Nova, grabbed her face and made her look at him.

"Nova, Nova, you and us." When Zebedia said, blood dripped from the corners of his long and narrow eyes.He hugged Nova with all his strength, comforting her even if he would have to pay a great deal of pain to say a single word.

Zebedia knew very little about psykers, nor did he know that a high-level psyker out of control would unleash a terrifying power comparable to a psychic storm, killing everyone here in an instant.However, the sense of responsibility as an older brother still drives Zebedia to stay close to Nova instead of running away from her.

"Look at me, Nova."
