StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 450
Clusas Guard III, New Babylon.

Marshal Augustus Mengsk's breakfast today consisted of a few slices of toasted bread, sliced ​​butter and jam.Meanwhile, there were some eggs, bacon and cheese, and a steaming cup of coffee on the marshal's table.

These came from Basgarden Farm, less than two miles outside New Babylon, where the owner had driven them himself and hoped that the venerable Revolutionary Marshal would accept his produce.

As usual, it was all prepared by the family chef brought in from Korha IV by Augustus' brother, Arcturus Mengsk, who was critical of Augustus' minimalist diet. .

However, no one knew that Augustus still missed the simple soy milk fritters.

"Good morning, is it to your liking?"

Sarah Kerrigan walked in through the opened airlock door of the command center. She was dressed in a blue-gray military uniform, with red hair shawls, and she looked heroic.

Since Augustus first met Kerrigan, the tsundere teenage girl had completely transformed into a sexy and mature woman, as sweet and fragrant as a ripe peach.

The study and training at the Tarsonis Ghost Academy shaped Kerrigan's strong and calm character, and the tempering of the war also made her more attractive.

Today, Sarah Kerrigan is already an excellent Revolutionary Army soldier. She can complete a difficult mission alone or take over a war in place of the commander.

"Fine." To Augustus, what he had in front of him was a lackluster breakfast, of no value other than filling his stomach to keep working.Augustus would not complain about the food, clothing, housing and transportation during the war. After a long time, he had already adapted to the crumpled clothes and bad food.

Augustus doesn't care if his life is as arduous and monotonous as an ascetic, because now is not the time to ask for more.He felt that he had to set an example among the officers in the Revolutionary Army, reminding the cadres of the army who were raised from commoners rather than nobles to be strict with themselves.

In Arcturus Mengsk's view, his brother would always forget his status as a nobleman and put himself on the same level as a commoner.This is precisely one of the outstanding qualities of Augustus, the noble character of an insurgent leader.

But in all fairness, Arcturus didn't want Augustus to really forget about this matter, forgetting that he was once a great nobleman of Keha.

"Duplicity." Kerrigan gave Augustus a blank look, and took all the dishes from the table.

As Kerrigan turned and walked in front of Augustus, he found that the woman was getting more and more attractive.Kerrigan had grown longer, more feminine, and more confident.

Augustus had to admit that standing next to Kerrigan felt quite safe.

"Then, let's go to work after eating. Accepting the administration of Clutas Guard III is just the beginning, and the report on the latest UED movement must be submitted to you immediately." Kerrigan told Augustus Empty dinner trays are taken away.

"I'm going to check the newly arrived materials in the command center warehouse, including some parts for maintenance facilities, see you later."

"Really, my dear Sarah." Augustus shook his head, stretched his arms, and the holographic projector next to him slowly turned on.Before that, he opened the roller blinds on the huge windows of the command center, and the mild sunlight made Augustus feel comfortable and warm.

Even at this height, the peaks still bear the azure blue flowers of a family of plants that can be found almost everywhere in Clusas.

"Of course, I can't imagine what I would do if you left?"

Built on a [-]-foot ridge, this command center originally belonged to the Confederate garrison of Clutas Guard III and now serves as the Revolutionary Army's Field Marshal's headquarters.

Compared with the flat old command center during the Guild War, the one where Augustus is located has more components, a stronger reinforced frame and fine steel plate armor, so the general shape is also more square. It looks like Like a bulging apple.

The large booster and support arms are firmly supported on the steep mountain, and the ablated and electroplated casing is shining in the sun. Only the support frame on the lower floor is as high as a three-story building.At the same time, there is also a complete T-280 space engineering vehicle production line in the command center, which can automatically smelt crystal ore construction machinery.

To the north of the command center is a steep mountain range, and on the other side is a pure blue lake.The city of New Babylon is located under the mountain, and its dense buildings are as majestic as the nearby Gasos Mountains.

In this inch of sky and sky in the Koprulu star region, the sky is as clear as water, so pure.

A company of revolutionary army recruits undergoing climbing training is crossing the steep rocky path outside the command center, carrying firearms and green rucksacks with ammunition on their backs, panting forward in a single file.The sergeant at the front of the line held a banner in his hand, constantly cheering for the exhausted recruits.

"When was it that I was as motivated as they were, knowing nothing about my future?" When Augustus said this, his eyes seemed to pass through the steep mountains and fall into the vast distance. between the vast Neo-Babylonian plains.It is a barren and dangerous land ruled by a race of fearsome insects called carrion worms.

The territory of the Tyrann Federation is not a unique planet. The early settlers had to fight against the ferocious wild animals in order to survive.

Up to now, the residents of Clutas Guard III have established a self-sufficient society, and the majestic city and the residential circle formed by relying on the city have also begun to take shape.The technology and level on this planet are maintained at an extremely high level, and it belongs to a planet that has been thriving under the Federation.

And the Clutas have also tempered their tenacious and tenacious qualities in the struggle for survival, and they seem to have some kind of Tyrannical nationalism and great unity in their nature, thinking that they have unity and unity The mission of the humans in the Koprulu sector also made Krusas Guard III provide a considerable source of troops for the Federation in the guild war.

In this massive war that affected the entire Tyrannian Federation territory, Krusas Guard III stood on the side of the Revolutionary Army almost without hesitation.

Just when it was confirmed that the revolutionary army was about to arrive in Clutas, the local federal officers launched a military coup to overthrow the planet's federal government, and its governor, Alex Stantu, was tied to the arc tank to see Augustus Mengsk.

This was unexpected by Augustus. In the past, Clutas Guard III was not a planet that was keen on rebellion. Many top officers of the federal army came from here.

Augustus took the Krusas Guard III without any effort, not only avoiding excessive losses and casualties, but also obtained the tanks produced by the Krusas Guard factory and more than 20 armored infantry, mountain infantry and soldiers. Excellent pilot.

Not only that, but the recruitment department of the Revolutionary Army easily recruited 10 recruits in a few weeks.

The soldiers that Augustus is watching now are the young people from Krusas Guard III. They are determined to help the Korha Revolutionary Army defeat the brutal and corrupt Tyrannian Federation government and the cruel Earth invaders.The Krusas are descendants of the Tarsonis, and the iron-blooded side of their ancestors is vividly displayed in this nation in a corner of Koprulu.

And with Augustus's style of doing things, he will certainly not let these planets that supported him at critical moments regret this act of sending charcoal in the snow.

When the team of new recruits gradually went away, Augustus looked away and looked at the dark green star map interface on the holographic screen and the information compiled and uploaded by the intelligence department.

Augustus has handed over Arcturus to manage the internal affairs of Krusas Guard III, but he has not actually arrested or dismissed many key federal government officials, but only put the overly bloated administrative system and The departments that were paid for nothing were withdrawn, as if to remove the withered branches and save the essence.

Considering that the governor's government of Cruzas is still clean, the assets that need to be seized and recovered will not make Arcturus's subordinates scramble.Moreover, Arcturus was very different from his gentle father in his political toughness, and Augustus admired him for his talent in this area.

As for the ongoing war on the main star of Tarsonis, Augustus is most concerned about it now.With Tarsonis as the center, the core world has become a mess.

The main reason why the Krusas people sided with Augustus so quickly was because of the invasion of the United Earth Council. They completely regarded the earthlings as crueler perpetrators and tyrants.

After several centuries, the people of the earth wanted to rule their long-lost colony without any effort, which is not so easy.

Augustus first read the information that his subordinates considered to be the most urgent, among which the latest battle situation in Tarsonis was undoubtedly the top priority.

Tarsonis has completely become the main battlefield between the federal army and the UED expeditionary force. In contrast, the rest of the federal core world has not suffered a large-scale military invasion, because the commander of the expeditionary force, Gerard Du Garr apparently put the main force on Tarsonis and had no time to worry about other planets.

From Augustus's point of view, this was an obvious gamble.Because once Dugal was defeated in Tarsonis, or if he didn't defeat the main force of the Federation fleet and take the planet as soon as possible, reinforcements from other Federation colonies would surround them.

In fact, Augustus has helped Dugal a lot. The chaos brought by the revolutionary army in the federal world is quite beneficial to UED's storm tactics.

But if the UED invasion hadn't brought enormous pressure to the Federation, Augustus would not have had the opportunity to evade the main force of the Federation and seize so many Federation worlds.It's hard to tell who has benefited the most from this process.

Not counting the world conquered by the army led by Augustus himself, there are a total of 23 planets in the hands of the revolutionary army, most of which are those with stronger economic strength.Such a rapid rate of conquest posed many problems, and even maintaining control of these planets was exhausting for the understaffed Augustus.

With the support of these planets, Augustus' army is rapidly expanding.Arcturus Mengsk deserves to be the figure who overthrew the Tyranid Federation and established the Tyrannian Empire. At least his powerful conscription ability was unmatched by Augustus.

Augustus read the information on the holographic screen over and over again, frowning from time to time.

It was the 48th hour since the UED launched an attack on Tarsonis, and the flames of war were still spreading on the outer space orbit and the surface of this planet.It is no surprise that Tarsonis is the one with the strongest comprehensive strength in the Tyrann Federation. Its population is more than one-tenth of the federal immigration lands combined, and its economy is unparalleled.

Judging from the latest intelligence, the agents of the UED Expeditionary Force sneaked into it long before the outbreak of the Battle of Tarsonis. Not only did they pass through the sentries and checkpoints, but they did not arouse the vigilance of the Tarsonis federal government.

The UED hacked into the Federation's secure data network and wiped out the Federation's communications equipment, allowing defense platform sentry turrets and orbital defense artillery to target friendly forces.This is probably because the Federation's technology is based on the supercomputer in the colonial mothership, which is the same source as the Earth, so it is not completely impossible for people on Earth to crack it.

In this way, the UED's previous military operations were just delaying time, buying time to crack the federal security network - if the federal fleet was not stronger than expected, the people on earth would be completely destroyed after capturing the battlecruisers at the Delarian Shipyard. You can take Tarsonis directly with the strength of your fleet.

That being said, that was nothing more than speculation by Augustus, who still doesn't know the UED's strategy.

Lieutenant General Alexei Stukov was apparently the mastermind behind these plans, as Augustus believed that Gerald might not have had the brains.If so, Narud may also be advising the Earthlings.

"Hybrid!" But what Augustus didn't expect the most was the hybrid monster that appeared in Tarsonis.

Augustus will never forget the extremely evil image on the holographic screen. They are definitely not monsters that humans can easily deal with. A powerful hybrid can easily defeat an entire Tyranid company.

They appeared too early, ten years too early.I didn't expect Narud to let this thing appear on the frontal battlefield so soon-this is unreasonable.

Is it possible that Narud wants to sell the terrifying weapon of the hybrid, or is he trying to force the protoss to deal with the UED?

"Report from the asteroid sentry in the L220 system, the Terra family ship they mentioned in the Krusas Ⅷ star discovery mission briefing." At this time, the holographic projection cut to the screen of the staff of the command center control center.

"It's them." Augustus thought for a while and remembered this matter.

A few days earlier, a man named Zebedia Tella had contacted Augustus on his father Constantine's dedicated comms channel.He said he had just fled Tarsonis and was going to join the Revolutionary Army.

Even without considering the strength of the Terra family and the importance of their support to the Revolutionary Army, it is impossible for Augustus not to accept Zebedia.After all, Augustus and Constantine had such a good relationship that they could be called uncle and nephew.

Constantine originally wanted Augustus to "worship him as his elder brother", but the latter refused to agree.

"Adjutant, contact the Bravo Wraith Squadron of the Sons of Korhal stationed at the central Starport of Kruzas, and ask them to escort the distinguished guests from afar."

　　All the comments that replied to me were deleted by the system, it’s not that I didn’t reply, I couldn’t see it.

　　I can't read the comments, so I can only post easter egg chapters. . .
