StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 462 Non-aggression Treaty
Redstone, asteroid mining station 6267.

This residential station, which seems to be completely rebuilt from a hulk, has a rough and chaotic aesthetic. It is made up of hundreds of tons of old metal. Numerous man-thick tubes are embedded deep within the interior of the rocky asteroid.

The domes and rough walls of each Kelmorian hut are black-gray or blue-green, painted with mining guild slogans and eye-catching family logos, and at first glance they look like flowers growing on moldy stones poisonous mushrooms.

The part that used to belong to the keel of the mining ship has become the largest road in the mining station. The sewage pipes extending on both sides and the twisted wires are shaped like interlaced ribs. Rows of plain steel plates and refined steel are welded together. The resulting walls formed countless dark alleys and impenetrable dead ends.

When Augustus came to the interior of this brightly lit mining station, he was a little surprised to find that the sparrow was small and complete.

The largest number of mining stations is the high-energy gas extraction station, so the hazy silver exhaust gas is always lingering above it.Under the action of the planet's gravity, the gas is slowly escaping into the dark deep space.

Due to the need to process the minerals collected from the redstone planet, the rest of the asteroid has become a refinery and a dock where cargo ships can be docked.In addition to mining facilities and residential houses, there is also a bakery selling cheap bread, a small supermarket with a brisk business, hardware stores, weapons stores, capsule hotels and a private clinic with only one doctor.

Of course, pubs full of gold diggers, mercenaries, and pirates are a must in Kel-Morian lands.

It is the busiest building in mining station No. 6267, offering all kinds of alcohol and tobacco that consumers can imagine, including all kinds of stimulants, enhancers and other "good things" that can make people feel high .

It is also frequented by smugglers and illegal traders, who make huge profits by reselling goods from both sides.Affected by the working environment, the average life expectancy of Redstone miners is not long, but they are all rich, and they are eager to spend all their money in their limited lifetime.

Judging from the flashing sign on the classic ** advertisement in the bar, this place belongs to the Grimm Guild - most of the people here come from this guild, not only that, their descendants will also belong to the Grimm Guild.

Planets with a closed environment and a martial atmosphere are more common in the more remote and dangerous areas, especially in the territory of the Kemerians, because they not only have to fight against the harsh environment, but also beware of the sneaky and greedy Tyrannians People are even their fellow citizens with evil intentions.

As a result, many Kel-Morian mining parties are miners as well as pirates, and they take up any weapon they can find to defend their property.

The notorious Kel-Morian pirates are more or less related to the union guilds all over Koprulu. Sometimes they will protect the mining guilds of the union depending on the reward, or secretly attack them at the request of merchants. competitors in the industry.

Just as Augustus stepped into the main road of the mining station, a drunk man with malicious intentions set his sights on him.

It was a strong man in a gray vest and a hood, and his whole body reeked of mold and sweat.He's clearly not just drunk, and even a single glance at Augustus reveals multiple pinholes on his wrist.

"I'm not afraid of causing trouble, but there are important things to do now." Augustus stopped Corporal Faraday who was about to draw his gun, and turned to Kerrigan behind him:
"Let him suffer."

Kerrigan turned to look at the drunk who was staggering forward, and the latter immediately caught his left foot and fell to the ground with his right foot.

"I got dirt in my eyes." Kerrigan said, not without a venomous tongue. "This man's mind is like a sponge with holes in it. It's useless."

The Kel-Morians at the mining station knew nothing about the peace talks between the Korha Revolutionary Army and the UED Expeditionary Force, but the tension here was indeed due to the bloody conflicts in the Koprulu sector in recent times.

"Let's go, the diplomats of the earth people are still waiting for us. It is not the style of a gentleman in Keha to keep a distinguished guest from afar waiting." Arcturus is also a burly man, standing in Augustus Both sides appear more robust.

Arcturus is also a person who has experienced great storms. He has seen much more dangerous and chaotic scenes than this one, and naturally he will not be intimidated by a lunatic taking drugs.

"Corporal Faraday, I hope you are as good at protecting the Marshal as you are at speaking." He turned to Augustus's captain Faraday and said:

"The agents of the people on Earth are all-pervasive, and the Marshal of the Revolutionary Army must not make any mistakes!"

"There are many of our people here, and there will be no mistakes." Corporal Faraday's serious face suddenly turned a liver color.

As the captain of Augustus's guard, Faraday was extremely serious and responsible, without mercy.

In the earliest days, even the Field Marshal's brother, Arcturus Mengsk, had to ask Corporal Faraday's permission to meet him.In addition, Faraday is indeed a capable person, and there is no one in the entire revolutionary army who dare not hate him.

In the dispute with Arcturus, Faraday, of course, was indispensable.

Arcturus Mengsk is also a wonderful person. He did not use his identity and status to intimidate Faraday, but calmly stated the facts and reasoned with him, and at the same time elicited the military regulations in the revolutionary army and Augustus's own promise :
Anytime, anywhere, if my generals and headquarters staff want to see me, they can get what they want.

The military situation is extremely urgent, and soldiers are expensive and fast.I have seen many generals who are slow to react and act recklessly, and they are all losers in war.

My people don't have to stop them if they want to see me.

——Acturs talked freely while citing scriptures, and his logic was so clear that Faraday was speechless.

Finally, Arcturus swaggered past Faraday to play chess with Augustus.It's worth noting that both Augustus and Arcturus were proficient at chess, but they've been playing a different kind of chess lately.

In this way, the three of Augustus followed the main road through the mining station and walked all the way to the only bar here.

While Ke-Morian technology has long been considered a paragon of crude manufacturing, it would be a grave mistake to dismiss them as the barbarians of the Koprulu Sector.Although this asteroid is small, it has a complete artificial atmosphere and gravitational field, enough to support normal human life activities.

Several of the system's planets are located too far or too close to the violent star, with lava-ridden or barren and cold surfaces, or with dense toxic atmospheres or almost none.

Although every corner of the place is inhospitable to human habitation, Kel-Morian mining teams have found shelter on the far side of Redstone, away from the shadow of the star's manic and deadly radiation.

From time to time, a huge shadow passed over Augustus's head, most of which were cargo ships full of crystal minerals.Some of these also host chunks of icy comets, which are used to supply water to numerous mining stations where water is scarce.

When walking on the main road, Augustus only occasionally saw a few miners in a hurry.

The miners here are always busy, and their lives are closely related to the lava-tumbling red planet.The occupants of the mining station are either gas factory workers or dock stevedores.

In contrast, work on the surface of Redstone means more income and higher risk.Although Redstone workers risk their lives at all times, high-quality crystal deposits represent equally high interests.

The workers on the road didn't pay attention to Augustus, but just regarded him as a rich and thrill-seeking brother.It's rare to see a redhead as gorgeous and sexy as Kerrigan, but if you look closely, she's nothing more than a femme fatale.

As Augustus got closer and closer to the Green Bar, a group of fully armed Kel Morians appeared not far away. They were all dressed in blue-green camouflage uniforms or leather jackets and pants of the same color. There are also all kinds of weapons, from semi-automatic gunpowder weapons to railguns.

"This reminds me of the Kymerians during the guild wars. Back then they were much more bloody than they are now. Once my troops surrounded a Kailanis guild guard, and they welded steel plates in front of their bulldozers Just rushed out." Arcturus put his hand on his rifle.

"All those who underestimated them stayed on the battlefield, and only I survived."

"These Kemerians are members of the Green Guild, and it is their duty to interrogate unidentified visitors." Corporal Faraday said, "But don't worry, Ogbo's agents have already arranged everything in advance."

"You can't take it lightly, there are a lot of earthlings mixed in here." Augustus walked towards the group of Kel Morians.

Augustus didn't worry about his own safety at all, not to mention that the sniper rifles of Agent Ogbo were erected on the main streets here, and the ghost agents who followed him had already performed their duties.

Artanis, the executive officer of the protoss, also attaches great importance to this matter. He believes that this peace talk may allow the UED expeditionary force to give up or hand over the mixture in their hands.Fearing that the UED side might use the hybrid to assassinate Augustus, Artanis sent a hundred-man Shadow Guard to follow Augustus.

These dark templar masters are the most determined and powerful among the children of the archbishop Razagal. Any words or deeds that are not good for the archbishop may attract the sharp blades of the shadow guard.

When Augustus walked towards the heavily armed Kel-Morian warriors, they unknowingly stepped out of the way.Some of them might recognize Augustus, but none dared to fight for the two billion bounty.

Walking among the Kel-Morians, Augustus noticed a hooded young woman with fair hair who seemed to be the leader of the guild warriors.

It was this woman who stopped her eager subordinates.

"I never thought I'd meet Field Marshal Augustus Mengsk of the Korha Revolutionary Army in a place like this. You're here for the revolution too?" she asked just as Augustus was about to step over her. , there was also some sarcasm and obvious hostility in it, which immediately made Kerrigan next to her frown.

"The famous Augustus, what are you doing in the land of the Camerians? There are no Tyranids waiting for you to save here."

A prickly head.

Most of the Kemerians are hot-tempered, and euphemism is not their style.

"I really don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth!" Kerrigan's eyes were indeed capable of killing people, and she had already thought about how this woman would die.

"Don't be nervous, Lieutenant Kerrigan, control your psychic power, I don't want to see someone's blood splattered on the spot and dirty my clothes." There was no sign of anger on Arcturus's face, He's never been the type to smile, but anyone who offends him will regret it.

"Salvation, you shouldn't be talking about that word." Augustus moved closer, looking directly into the woman's face, who also stared at him fearlessly.

"If you've ever seen a battlefield full of corpses and limbs, and those poor people infected by zerg, you should understand why I fight." His words made the woman take a small step back:

"It doesn't matter if you're a Kel-Morian, it doesn't matter if you're a crazy idiot, hopelessly stupid."

"But even if you have a human face on your hideous body. If you call my name, I will save you even from someone like you."

After speaking, Augustus strode away, and Arcturus and Faraday quickly followed him, leaving only Kerrigan who was threatening these people with gestures.

"She is the heir of the Green Guild, Debra Green." Faraday said to Augustus: "I heard that this woman has not been very flattering."

"I can tell," replied Augustus.

There were a few people standing sparsely at the door of the bar. They should be from the UED expeditionary force. They were all equipped with electromagnetic rifles and AGR magazines, and looked cold.

Loud music could also be heard inside, which surprised Augustus.According to the news from the UED, their representative, Lieutenant General Alexei Stukov, should have arrived half an hour ago.And Augustus doesn't think Stukov will let the bar entertainment continue until the serious peace talks are about to take place.

"Hi~ hi~ this is now Finley's private bar, and all expenses are paid for by the great Marshal Augustus Mengsk! Long live Augustus! Long live Mengsk!"

Augustus and Arcturus looked at each other, and immediately quickened their pace towards the bar.

When Augustus walked into the bar, as expected, he saw Tychus, wearing only a loincloth and almost naked, dancing on the temporary stage in the center of the bar.

Judging from the clothes in the audience, Tychus must have performed a hot striptease in front of the representatives of the Earthlings.

Tychus had been sent here to clear the bar of dangerous elements for the peace talks, but so far he seems to be doing as the Romans do.

"What are you doing again? Tychus." Augustus yelled as he walked towards Alexei Stukov who was sitting in the corner drinking silently.

"Hey! That's Augustus! Hero of the people!" Tychus jumped even harder at the sight of Augustus.

"..." Augustus sighed, and sat down on the seat opposite Stukov, not knowing what to say for a while.

"I'm Alexey Stukov, don't you know me?" Stukov smiled, obviously not affected by Tychus.

"Captain." He turned to the officer next to him who was wearing a white navy uniform, his face was hidden under the brim of his hat, and almost no expression could be seen.

"Get out our non-aggression pact and show it to Marshal Augustus."
