StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 485 Augustus Mengsk Approaches the Throne Planet

"The monster from Korha landed on Tartarus."

"The inexplicable ogre king is approaching Bronte's main planet."

"Despicable and shameless kleptocrats have entered the Nidhogg galaxy."

".The notorious murderer Mengsk shamelessly broke the Redstone Treaty, and his executioners and butchers are rampaging on the soil of the United Earth Council. There is no doubt about it, Alexei Stowe Did Lieutenant General Koff pick the wrong ally—well, you asked me what I was talking about, I was reading the manuscript!"

"I don't usually put personal opinions in my reports, but I have to say, Augustus Mengsk is at least a Tyranid"

"Who is this person?" Augustus stood in front of the Huberian bridge with his hands behind his back, with a holographic screen flashing in front of him, showing great interest.

"Dony Vormilian, UNN's new reporter, he must have offended something before he was assigned to the local station." Kerrigan replied immediately, "Our revolutionary comrade Mike Liberty at UNN headquarters once Mentioned this man, this Doni Vormilian is gathering intelligence for us now."

"It's really merciless." Augustus said with a smile: "I'm in a cold sweat because of you, Donnie."

"Speaking of which, Mike is having a hard time recently. The Tyra family and the Huot family can't help him much, and our underground party members in Tarsonis are also in danger."

"In fact, Mike and Dony, with their ingenuity and speculation, have a firm foothold in the UNN universe news website that is now controlled by UED." Kerrigan said to Augustus: "It's just that they can't give us much now. useful information."

"After occupying Tarsonis, Alexey Stukov replaced the politicians in the Tyrann Federation in a short time, and streamlined the original bloated and corrupt government system on a large scale. The meeting template established a military government headed by the Expeditionary Command." Arcturus came from the steps on the other side of the bridge, followed by Chief Sergeant Tychus Finley of the Field Marshal's Guard.

I have to say that this is a strange combination in Augustus' view.Arcturus knew how to keep a villain like Tychus at his mercy, and those who knew him both respected and feared him, so they got along.

"Of course, Stukov has also reduced the number of people we have sneaked into the federal department. Moreover, the security level of the UED command, control and communications intelligence system is very high. With the current technological level of the Tyranids, it is impossible to do reverse cracking. Positive Instead, we have to clamp our tails." Arcturus went on:
"Attacks launched from the computer network are always unpredictable. When attacking Tarsonis, UED only took ten minutes or less to invade the command and control network of the Tarsonis Fleet of the Tyrann Federation, and took over control of the planetary orbital defense weapon," he said:
"Fortunately, the Umoyan people can help us upgrade the security level of the computer network, but I have never trusted them. Who knows if that will become a sharp weapon for the Umoyan United States to restrain us in the future."

"After all, the earth is the origin of human civilization, and it is reasonable to lag behind them." Augustus shook his head and said, "But we will eat as much technology as the people on earth bring."

"Attention everyone on the Hyperion, the warship is about to jump out of the space-time channel, and enter the countdown to 10, 9." At this time, the voice of the new captain Ain came from the Hyperion's radio channel.Ironhead, known as Ironhead, has a steel jaw and right cheek, which he lost in a battle with the Elzerg.

Every captain of the Hyperion has outstanding talents and outstanding achievements. Unless they die in a future war, they will surely become generals in the Revolutionary Army Navy.

Both the previous two captains have been transferred to the newly independent Revolutionary Army Naval Command as the commander and chief of staff, and the next captain is likely to be Matt Horner, who has just emerged recently.

Ten seconds later, the alloy-plated majestic deck of the Hyperion was once again bathed in the starlight of the Tarsonis galaxy, and the light of hundreds of billions of stars shone outside the porthole of the bridge opposite Augustus.

"Attention all the fleet, immediately enter the combat state and maintain a high level of alert. Any negligence or carelessness of yours may ruin the lives of yourself and your comrades." Augustus' words were directly connected to the communication channel of the entire fleet.

"I know that some in the army have begun to relax, thinking that victory is within easy reach, and the trip to Tarsonis is nothing more than a comfortable interstellar journey," he said harshly.

"The most critical situation has emerged among us. The proud soldiers are bound to lose, and the earthlings are still terrible opponents."

At this time, outside the wide parallel portholes of the Hyperion, the revolutionary warships that just leaped out of the sub-time and space channel are lining up, like horizontal and vertical mountains, which are as magnificent and magnificent.Thousands of support ships, frigates, and destroyers (all types mentioned in field manuals and short stories) cruised in blue and red plasma wakes.

It is no wonder that some people in the Revolutionary Army have become arrogant. Four years ago, their only capital ship was the refitted Hyperion given by the Umoyans. Now the size of this fleet is large enough to sweep across the Koprulu star sector. .

Before entering Tarsonis, there was even a small fleet mainly composed of Protoss reconnaissance planes and shuttles following the Revolutionary Army fleet, and Protoss executive Artanis was on one of the reconnaissance planes.

And now, the small Protoss fleet has broken away from the Revolutionary fleet, watching the war between humans from another part of the Tarsonis system.A small, elite force, they only deliver the killing blow when hybrids emerge.

"Where is the UED fleet?" Arcturus couldn't help frowning:

"If they want to prevent us from going further into the Tarsonis system, now is the time."

"I think it should be soon." Kerrigan's sexy red lips stopped at this moment.

The holographic projection screen on the bridge of the Hyperion first went dark, and then the star chart table and the radar scanning map also became snowflakes or garbled characters.The main consoles around the bridge were either damaged or malfunctioning, and some of the displays even overflowed with clearly visible plasma streams and sparks, started to catch fire, and exploded.

The electromagnetic field formed by the strong electromagnetic pulse wave radiation and the current generated on the metal surface overflowed on the deck of the Hyperion, and entered the delicate equipment through conduits and small cracks to burn the electronic components in it, creating a large number of confusing codes It even directly interrupts the data transmission.

In a vacuum environment, electromagnetic pulse waves can propagate infinitely.The electromagnetic pulse that hit the Hyperion was so strong that it knocked out the tens of millions of electronic components that make up a large number of computers and electronic equipment.Not to mention activating the weapon system and defense system, even the communication within the ship is a problem.

In this case, both the battleship's hatch and the gun group must be manually controlled by soldiers.This is not the worst. If the power of the electromagnetic pulse beam is further enhanced, it can directly become a weapon, triggering the uncontrolled ignition of missiles and space torpedoes to cause martyrdom. The generated current and voltage will also disturb the sensor, causing Battleships cannot tell friend from foe.

In an instant, sparks flew everywhere on the Hyperion, and other revolutionary warships were also facing the same crisis.If the power density of this electromagnetic pulse is high enough, it can even cause burns on the human body and cook them like food in a microwave oven.

Obviously, at least the United Earth Council Expeditionary Force does not have such a powerful electromagnetic pulse weapon.

"If it was someone else, he might have escaped from Tarsonis, but this person is Stukov." Augustus didn't show too much surprise: "He won't be a stray dog, but will be with We're here to fight to the death."

"Alexey Stukov is a rare talent, but it is a pity that he is unwilling to surrender." Arcturus also has a heart of love for talents. Lieutenant General Stukov is a rare talent, but But he refused to pledge allegiance to any force other than Earth.

Before arriving in Tarsonis, Augustus had spoken to Stukov many times and asked him to surrender in order to save billions of lives in Tarsonis, but the other side had sternly refused every time.

People like Stukov who grew up and received education in the territory of the Earth Federation would not be able to surrender to people in such marginal colonies after all.

But since the UED expedition is doomed to fail, Stukov returns to Earth, and what awaits him is a life of shame.Although a senior general like him does not cherish his reputation too much, it is difficult to accept such an ending.

"UED should have deployed a considerable number of electromagnetic force field generators on the edge of Tarsonis—no, they should have calculated the coordinates of our transition and set up an ambush in advance." Augustus said calmly:
"Indeed, unless we are driving a protoss warship, we have no way to effectively counter this weapon now."

Compared with the panicked crew, Augustus and Arcturus are calm and composed, and they have both experienced scenes much bigger than this.

At the next moment, more than 20 silver-gray or dark brown UED battlecruisers appeared in front of the Revolutionary Army fleet, and more magnificent battleships were jumping out.

Once it appears, the UED warship can pour firepower on the nearly completely paralyzed Revolutionary Army fleet, and the laser beams that often span tens of thousands of miles shine in the deep space.

As the flagship of the Revolutionary Army, the Hyperion suffered the most damage, and the siren and crew screamed endlessly.Under these circumstances, even Kerrigan couldn't help but tense up, fearing that something might happen to Augustus.

"It's time for our secret weapon to be used." Augustus activated the tri-diamond crystal on the side of the Star Chart Table, and the rising image was not disturbed at all.

Although Augustus has the forces of the protoss exec Artanis as allies, they are not a secret weapon.Influenced by Dawu's teachings and the blood lessons deeply in the memory of the protoss, the protoss will never easily intervene in the internal disputes of the lower races, unless they have contact with the Zerg or the dark background in the universe.

Behind the holographic image was a white and fat giant worm, its bloated and sluggish body was obviously swollen a whole circle more than the first time Augustus saw it.This is a normal growth phenomenon of young brain worms, and it is definitely not because they have taken in too much protein and sugar.

"Wuhu, Aigon, best friend, rub it again."

In the clean and dust-free lower-deck laboratory of the Hyperion, in a space made up of huge multi-faceted glass, a cerebrate is lying comfortably on the warm and moist purple creeper.

Egon Stetman, a researcher in rubber boots and a white coat, is brushing his fat-strewn back with a huge long-handled bristle brush, like rolling a giant white jelly.

Considering the important position of this brain worm in the alien laboratory, it is within the scope allowed by Augustus to enjoy the treatment of a special person for raising pigs.

Although a cerebrate is a creature that is completely different from humans in terms of thought, concept, and body, excessive squeezing is by no means a long-term memory. ——Although Augustus doesn't have to talk to a bug about human rights and working conditions.

"Today, you are only serving a young cerebrate, but tomorrow, you will be honored as a servant of the great master. Just hold on for an hour, Aegon, and I will give you a piece of the noble The tip of the tail is used as a research material—but it cannot be eaten." The brain worm purred contentedly, like a cat being scratched by a human being.

"Ahahahaha!" Its voice was as thin as a child's, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a boy or a girl's voice.

"Ah, you are inferior to many of my servants. Aegon, my friend!"

Obviously, this cerebrate's understanding of the word "best friend" is completely different from that of humans.Moreover, in terms of many words, its interpretation can be called a brain-opening and unimaginable.

"α, just as we agreed." Augustus didn't have much time to talk to this brain worm: "Call your group members and immediately destroy this fleet in front of you."

"Oh, of course. Of course, as long as you will do what you said. Augustus, you are a smart human being." Cerebral Worm α wanted to turn over, but he just tried his best to raise his head and failed.

As the top link in the mind of the Zerg master hive, the cerebrum's duty is only to command its own group to guard the nest, hunt for new genes, or completely destroy the enemy. They need to be taken care of like the queen bee of the hive , fragile and immobile.

"The swarm will devour everything and evolve—"

Arcturus has been conducting experiments using Cerebral Worm α and the main hive and eggs obtained by the Revolutionary Army from Al and Char. Such experiments have been carried out secretly with the acquiescence of Augustus, and in Strict size restrictions and close monitoring.

Cerebral worm α can control a large number of zerg, far surpassing any main hive mind at this stage.The Zerg comes in handy against Stukov's EMP weapon, since the Zerg has no electronics at all.

In response to the UED's electromagnetic pulse weapons, the large number of transport ships in the Revolutionary Army fleet carried zerg hatched in the laboratory instead of Revolutionary Army soldiers.

But this move is extremely dangerous. In order to prevent Cerebral Worm α from losing control or rebelling against others, Augustus specially invited several dark templar warriors to be nannies.Unless necessary, Augustus would never use the Alpha Swarm as a conventional weapon.

Once this arrogant cerebrate has mastered too many Zergs, it is hard to guarantee that it will not have a rebellion—this is almost inevitable.

"I fear the protoss will see it differently," Kerrigan said to Augustus worriedly.

Kerrigan can also control the zerg like the cerebrates, but in far fewer numbers, a secret known only to a very small number of people.

"Protoss executive Artanis has already seen this brain worm. He just said that he will take necessary measures before the situation gets out of control." Arcturus disagrees. Use whatever is easy to control.

"The necessary measure is to burn everything with fire." Augustus is also very cautious about this: "I hope this is the last time I use this weapon."

"Open the hatch," he said:
"Unleash the zerg and show no mercy to our enemies!"

　It's back to the throne update time, motherfucking.
