StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 458 Incorporating Omega Squadron

On the 12th, a Tyrannian Federation Navy fleet mainly composed of 7 behemoth-class battlecruisers appeared in the H-5.9 star system 34 light-years away from the Krusas galaxy.

The fleet had just experienced a brutal battle, and there were very few supply ships, tow barges, and frigates left.In the ripples of the transition force field, huge bullet holes and burn marks spread all over the surfaces of the remaining dozens of starships, which are as shocking as hideous scars.

After a long long-distance transdimensional voyage, the scarred fleet is obviously exhausted.They didn't even dare to stay here for long and launch resource harvesting ships to refuel from the dense atmosphere rich in energetic gas gases of the system's fourth giant planet and briefly repair damaged ships.

Not long after the fleet left the transition state, it entered the pincer encirclement of the two Revolutionary Army fleets, and then the commander of the Federation immediately announced its surrender, and the Revolutionary Army Admiral Horace Warfield immediately issued a ceasefire order.

On the same day, Marshal Augustus Mengsk of the Revolutionary Army met the commander of the Federation Fleet, Rear Admiral Gregory Reikson (Gregory Reikson), the Federation Navy Omega Squadron commander.

In the Governor's Office facing the central park in the Governor's Mansion, Augustus listened carefully to Gregory's personal memories of the Tarsonis War a few days ago, and told the other party that he swore to the death to break through the siege of the UED Expeditionary Army just to send a message to the revolutionaries. The surrender of the army was greatly moved, and he was praised as a "Spartan" Tyrannian hero.

"The weapons of the people on Earth are more advanced than ours, and their tactical concepts are far superior to the conservative Supreme Command of the Federation." Major General Gregory once again emphasized that the fiasco at the Battle of Tarsonis was a crime other than war, and believed that the Federation Command was both deaf and Blind, ignorant of the enemy's tactics.

Standing in front of Augustus was a thin general of the Federation Navy. His lean and ruddy face was full of traces left on various dangerous planets in the Koprulu sector, like ravines and ravines.

Gregory had a thick walrus mustache on his broad lips, and a thick, bushy eyebrow that hung over deep-set eye sockets.He has an aura of calm and self-importance, and the simple iron black cropped hair further contributes to this intimidating aura.

Just like many federal commanders that Augustus had seen, Gregory's eyes were firm and resolute. He was a standard federal noble officer, not comparable to those incompetent heirs of the founding family who were mixed in the navy department.

Although he had just experienced a bitter battle that almost cost him his life, Gregory still wore the neat uniform of the Federation Navy Admiral.

It was a beautiful uniform with the base color of dark blue, a standard open-necked tunic with golden medals and epaulettes pinned to it, and the trousers of the same color were ironed straight, with almost no wrinkles visible.The hat is a wide-brimmed military cap with an embroidered Union Navy cap badge, with a silver eagle insignia surrounded by a wreath.

These are federal professional soldiers who have received systematic education and training. They have served in the federal army for many years and are ready to defend the federal unity at any time.

If it weren't for Augustus' consistent strict discipline and regulations in the revolutionary army, then his people would be closer to a loose peasant rebel army and a sloppy pirate organization.

"The people of Earth have taught us a lesson." Augustus made a brief comment on Gregory's words.

Augustus knew that this was actually no fault of the Federation Supreme Command, because they simply couldn't contact the Federation Navy fleet in high-altitude orbit.It is even difficult to get in touch with the various ships, as if there are isolated islands made of steel in the war, and confusion in command is inevitable.

Centuries ago, human armies were still using carrier pigeons to shout to communicate, but the generals and commanders of the Federation who were silenced by UED electric pulse weapons in the vacuum could not tell their friendly ships where they should be by roaring Assemble, where should we break through next.

"It really caught us off guard." When Gregory was talking to Augustus, he couldn't help but glance at Sarah Kerrigan, who was standing behind him, because he heard that the Revolutionary Army Marshal There are many dangerous women around, and none of the assassins sent by the Federal Security Service can approach him, let alone assassinate him.

Kerrigan is of course quite dangerous, and many of the words are out of the question.

"At that time, more than 90 battlecruisers from Omega Squadron, Delta Squadron, Epsilon Squadron, Sigma Squadron, Theta Squadron, and Deep Blue Squadron were mooring above the three orbital defense platforms in Tarsonis. The scale of the typesetting is huge." Gregory said to Augustus in this way:

"There are 220 divisions deployed on orbital defense platforms, space-based weapon stations, and satellites alone, and the fortresses on them are armored thick enough to withstand frontal bombardment from battlecruiser guns."

"We have long received the information that the UED fleet has appeared in the neighboring galaxy, so the Federal High Command ordered all the fleets to stand by and show the power of Tarsonis to the lifeless people on Earth." He said.

"But it turned out to be a complete disaster. Of course, it was just an afterthought." Augustus already knew something about the Battle of Tarsonis, but after all, he was not as good as the federal commander who had actually experienced this war.

"Yes." Gregory sighed. "All the computer-controlled weapons of the orbital defense platform betrayed us at the same time. The weapon systems fired at our soldiers at will, and blood flowed in a flash."

"Then a bigger disaster came. The cargo berths that were suddenly taken over by the intelligent program began to crash into our warships, and then the space station also changed its orbit and collided with the defense platform."

"In the face of the attack from the rear, most captains did a good job. They still stuck to their posts and reluctantly gave orders to attack the uncontrolled ships. But then, the communication between the fleets fell into a slump. There was chaos, a large number of UED warships jumped in and quickly attacked us," he said.

"Not only that, in the strong electromagnetic interference field created by the enemy, even the weapon system of the battleship has failed. No matter how our mechanics and technical experts kick and beat, it will not help. When they resume operation, Our defenses have been sieved."

"Right now, I have begun to doubt whether the original order was issued by the Supreme Command. It was the order that put us right between the orbital defense platform and the enemy fleet. After four years of investing countless manpower and material resources Weapons built with money were aimed at us with impunity."

"That's exactly what Gerald Dugal wanted." Augustus said the name of a UED expeditionary commander who was now considered the Tyranids' most formidable opponent.It's just that few people know that Alexei Stukov behind Gerard Dugal is also a very dangerous figure, and the latter has always been very low-key.

"It's not wrong for you to lose."

The Tyranid Federation is no longer the over-inflated and powerful regime that was just after the Guild Wars. The impact of Zerg and Protoss caused the Federation to lose too many colonies and fleets, and the losses brought by the Revolutionary Army cannot be ignored. .The Tyrannian Federation in its heyday may not lose to this expeditionary force on Earth. It can only be said that the timing of the other side's invasion is really well-determined.

Augustus then asked Gregory: "Can you determine how many battlecruisers the UED has?"

"There are at least 50 of them, and it can be seen that they were all warships built by us. The people on Earth have made inconspicuous modifications to these warships, at least making them immune to disturbed electromagnetic interference." Gregory replied Say.

"Are they carrying hybrids in their fleet?" As Augustus spoke, Kerrigan duly handed over a photocopied picture.

"I believe you must be familiar with this."

"Mixed" Gregory's tea-brown pupils contracted, and he sat down on a chair opposite Augustus.

Hybrid, this is a very evil word.Genetically twisted monsters, vicious hybrids, the mere mention of which is scary enough.

"We didn't find such monsters on Earthen warships, but they did appear on orbital defense platforms," ​​he said.

"Later, we learned from the marines who were also evacuated from Tarsonis that the inhuman monster was not only powerful and indestructible, but also able to control human minds. This sounds like a magical story? But it is true of."

"It's the deranged railgun crews under the influence of the hybrid that are operating the cannons that are firing at us. Those poor souls must be completely insane because they're firing at UED ships too."

"...Well, that is to say, UED can't actually fully control this mixture." Augustus proposed a hypothesis.

"To be more precise, I even suspect that they don't even know the true face of this monster. Rather than saying that the people on Earth are driving this monster to fight for them, it's better that they are just servants of the hybrid holding the reins."

"That's right. The hybrids will not only attack our people, but also the Earth's army. This kind of crazy attack is indiscriminate even from our point of view." Gregory blinked at Clutha Eyes that looked dry due to the dry autumn wind.

"Hybrids can undoubtedly do unimaginable harm to our mentally defenseless military, but they can do the same to Earthlings."

"...A double-edged sword." Augustus smiled: "Is this Stukov's idea? This thing will hurt you more than it will hurt us."

An important message, the UED Expeditionary Force has no control over hybrids at all.In other words, Dugal would not use this weapon casually in conventional warfare unless he mastered the method of controlling the hybrid.

And in this world, apart from Narud who developed the hybrid body, perhaps only Augustus knows that there will never be anyone else who can truly control the hybrid body except Amon.

The cunning Narud will definitely obtain support and funding from the UED Expeditionary Force with the promise of developing a more powerful and easier-to-control hybrid, and he will be able to do it with his wisdom.

The UED, or other people and forces that bid for the hybrid in the future will never know that Narud will only make them think that they can control the hybrid.

Maybe one day, Augustus believed there would be a day, Narud would sell himself the hybrid, saying that this weapon would be perfect against the Protoss and the Zerg, and that it would keep the Terran Empire safe.

Augustus' older brother Arcturus might have thought it a good idea, thinking he could use Narud as well as anyone else.But alas, Augustus knew the truth.

"Now, a large number of hybrids are still destroying the city of Tarsonis and slaughtering civilians, and the UED people seem to be still busy cleaning up these uncontrolled monsters, and they are much more difficult to deal with than the federal army." Kerry behind him Lieutenant Gan added.

"It's just that Gerald completely took the credit for eliminating the hybrids on himself. He claimed that the federal government released these monsters. This seems to be completely tenable, because the hybrids kill people when they see them, and deal with the people on Earth. It’s not soft either.”

"I bet this is probably Dr. Narud's idea, because Dugal must not be such a shameless person." Augustus commented.

"They can't control the hybrid, that's all. Forcing this monster on Tarsonis is like releasing aphids in your neighbor's garden."

In recent days, Tarsonis has gradually been able to communicate with the outside world, and Augustus' command has also reconnected with Tarsonis' revolutionary party.

Intelligence shows that a considerable part of the hybrids were successfully recovered after the battle on the surface of Tarsonis gradually subsided, but there are still many who are still killing in densely populated areas and military camps.

"Fortunately, there are only a few hundred hybrids on Tarsonis, and even then, the devastation these monsters wreak is horrific," Kerrigan said.

"Dear Mr. Dugal, I'm afraid it will take some time to clean up the mess." Augustus said while picking up a glass of Clusas local wine on the table, and handed it to Gregory with bloodshot eyes.

This wine from the left bank of the New Babylon River has a mellow taste, and a glass of it will leave your lips and teeth fragrant, and the aroma from the local nuts is refreshing.Even Arcturus Mengsk, who is very picky about wine, also likes it. Most importantly, this wine contains some kind of negative ions, which can relieve the nervousness of the drinker.

"Thank you for your generosity. The people of Omega Squadron can only be blessed by the marshal." Gregory took the wine glass in Augustus's hand and said.

Gregory was not the only Union military force to turn to the Revolutionary Army during this period, but it was the largest.At the same time, the federal fleet that was defeated by the UED expeditionary force continued to enter the territory of the revolutionary army to seek refuge.

This part of the federal army was beaten by the UED and lost their fighting spirit. They were afraid that the earth people would catch them in the federal territory, or they wanted to defect to Augustus.

After the Federation Parliament was completely destroyed, the current Federation has essentially fallen apart.

The founding family in exile and some federal officials have announced the formation of a provisional government to continue leading the remaining federal military forces to fight against the earth invaders, but they dare not even announce the location of the provisional government.

"I have always respected a general like you who is responsible, hard-working, and commandingly talented. After all, you were the commander of the Federal Navy when I was a non-commissioned officer." Augustus said Respect is never fake:

"I will give Omega Squadron the same treatment as Alpha Squadron and Nova Squadron, as long as you and your soldiers declare allegiance to me and the revolution."

Gregory's Omega Squadron was definitely a surprise for Augustus. Alpha and Omega were the first and last in the Federation Navy's combat order respectively. The brave teacher.

As a prestigious federal naval squadron, Omega has its own unique planetary station and a unique and complete resocialized soldier factory. It is the soldiers manufactured by these factories that have given Omega Squadron its reputation as a dead skeleton.
