StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 492 Victory Day

With an earth-shattering bang, the Tailun Federal Senate Building collapsed, and the bronze-colored steel structure and shining copper-colored glass collapsed in an instant.The dust kicked up by the collapsed parliament building covered almost the entire central city of Tarsonis, blocking the sun's rays.

The collapsed magnificent building also buried the incomparable gorgeous buildings around it, such as Tutankhamun Theater, Tarsonis New Gettysburg Railway Station, Hult Hotel Chain
These world-renowned landmarks were once one of the many splendors of Tarsonis, the greatest architects, designers and modern art in Tarsonis history, exhausting luxurious rare craftsmanship and new age architectural craftsmanship. The precious legacy left by the founders to future generations.

The "Hall of Reason" Nagfa Hall under the Parliament Building was not spared either. Its golden marble exterior wall was once known as the Wall of Gold, and each piece was transported from far away Moria, and now it has become a ruin .It's littered with chassala mahogany door frames, crystal chandeliers and expensive faux solar panels installed as part of an energy-saving policy.
"The Hall of Reason is the symbol of the Federal Parliament. It once led and represented an entire era—" Augustus walked up to the place where the Nagfar Hall once belonged to the steps, and stood on top of the ruins.High in the sky, several holographic projection cameras are capturing live images.

"And now, that era is over."

Multiple film crews of the UNN universe news network are busy filming every movement of Marshal Augustus in their new uniforms and recording every word he utters.A revolutionary army colonel named Matt Horner rushed into the UNN headquarters building with a revolutionary army soldier covered in bullets and blood on his armor, and ordered a shot from among the stunned UNN employees team.

All in all, these UNN employees were as ecstatic as if they had won a lottery, apart from being surprised a lot. They soon realized that they were about to become witnesses of history.

Under the camera, Augustus and his generals stand together on the ruins of the Nagfar Hall. From left to right are Generals Arcturus Mengsk, General Horace Warfield, and General Demon Duke, next to Lieutenant Kerrigan and Marshal Faraday commanded the surrounding guard soldiers.

Citizens of the Tyrannian Federation who have followed UNN's military and political news should all know General Warfield. He used to be a federal military officer, and later devoted himself to the cause of revolution. He was the earliest supporter of Augustus.In the federal government's wanted list, Warfield is second only to members of the Mengsk family.

As for Arcturus Mengsk, he is a revolutionary general who has only recently appeared in public, but has already been known as the leader of a terrorist organization.Arcturus was more often seen as Augustus' dirty-worker by vitriolic federal critics, and he was generally portrayed as a darker terrorist.

However, Arcturus doesn't care what others think of him.For a character like him who is extremely controlling, he prefers to know that his people fear him and fear him, so that he can punish those who betrayed the Mengsk family for Augustus.

Arcturus is a helper demon, and he also knows that once Augustus ascends to the throne, he will definitely stand at the top of the entire Kopulu sector.

General Edmund Duke was an old acquaintance, who had taken Augustus prisoner when the rebels were gaining momentum, and then simply defected to the enemy.Although Duke had lost his family, he did not return to Tarsonis today as a loser.

General Duke flew here from another city on a fighter plane just in time for Augustus to make the declaration of victory, for which he took all his medals.On this day, Duke knew that he would be honored, although it was only because the man beside him was too glorious.

Augustus wore his dark gray cloak from Mar Sara's time, with the iconic Mengsk crest beside the double row of brass buttons.The red flag behind him will be reflected in the eyes of Tyranid humans and humans in other worlds in the years to come. In the eyes of the next generation of children who grow up under this flag, the red and blue flags of the Federation have become history .

The bright red flag is like a burning flame. On the two white V-shaped stripes, a strong golden arm is encircling a whip, and a five-pointed star is engraved on it.There are many interpretations of the pattern of this flag. Some people think that it symbolizes unity and domination, but has nothing to do with freedom.But Augustus, who designed this pattern, just borrowed the idea of ​​his brother Arcturus, without much thought.

"In Tarsonis, I am standing on top of the collapsed Tyrann Federation. Now, the shadow of the Federation will no longer oppress everyone in its territory." Augustus stood by several collapsed white stone pillars , In the past, this place should have placed the historic mahogany speech table of the Federation Parliament.

"We have overthrown the rule of the Tyranid Federation, defeated the invaders from the UED, and let those despicable shameless nobles and greedy earth people kneel down and beg for mercy. The shackles and shackles of the body have also become phantoms of yesterday - we have won." He said:
"Now, people in the old land of the Tyrann Federation can choose their own way to live freely. The Federation can no longer wantonly plunder wealth like in the past, and leave aside the people he promised to protect. Freedom, this human being and The birthright and inalienable rights of the law belong to all Tyranids."

The majestic circular dome of the Nagfar Hall has been torn apart, and the gorgeous vaulted aluminum leaf ceiling exudes a silvery luster in the sunlight, leaving only a few white marble columns that are still amazing even now, standing alone.Even the red and blue Stars and Stripes was buried beneath it, replaced by the flags of the Revolutionary Army and Korhal.

Opposite where Augustus stood was the King’s Avenue in the center of Tarsonis city. Glittering skyscrapers stood on both sides of the avenue, and the edges and corners of metal and glass outlined sharp right angles on the sky. Leaf patterns and large glass curtain walls shine.

These magnificent and ornate buildings are the product of the last century, when the increasingly wealthy Tarsonis accumulated too much vain wealth and arrogance, and indulged themselves in the pursuit of magnificence and elegance.

"The sacrifices of countless warriors and the succession of revolutionaries overthrew the tyranny of the Tyrannian federal government. They are the ones who hold up the torch for mankind in the long cold night, and they are the heroes of this new era." Augustus swore, All this will forever be history.

"Here they fell at the last hour before dawn," said Augustus, "and we shall remember them forever, as those who died in Aiur, Char, Sara, Antiga, and Like the warriors who died on so many other worlds."

"Whether it is the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army or the Tyrannian Federation, as long as they are sacrificed while resisting the alien invasion, their achievements will be immortal." He said:
"To this end, we dedicate a day to commemorate this victory and the memory of the warriors who have fallen since the beginning of Total War. On this day, October 2493th, 10 AD, we defeated the UED Expeditionary Force and recaptured Tyrannosaurus Tarsonis, the mother planet of mankind." Augustus said: "This day is Victory Day, and it will become a permanent legal holiday in the constitution."

"People of all the Tyranid lands, you can gather your friends and celebrate as much as you want, because this is Victory Day."

After speaking, Augustus walked towards the ruins of the Nagfar hall in the light of reassurance, which meant that this victory speech had come to an end.

"Augustus, this is the right time. You can take advantage of the opportunity to recapture Tarsonis to announce the establishment of the Tyrannian Empire, just to take advantage of the situation." Arcturus followed Augustus.

"I know, but there is no rush, and not much preparation for it." Augustus said to Arcturus: "There is no rush, Arcturus."

"When the past people of the Tyrannian Federation discovered that they must have a strong government to lead them and defend their rights, they thought of calling us." Augustus said:

"And, as you know, I am not going to set Tarsonis as the capital of the new Tyrann Empire."

"That's right, your prestige among the Tyranids has been rising day by day. Everyone thinks that you will establish a new government after defeating the UED and retaking Tarsonis, and you are even sure that it is today." Aktur Stanley put it this way: "If this new regime has a ruler, it can only be you."

"As soon as people start desperately needing a strong ruler, you can follow the popular will, and you can ascend to the throne without hindrance. But if it takes too long, I worry that the peripheral world will seek independence."

Arcturus' worries are not unreasonable. In the old Tyranid Federation, nearly half of the world has not yet declared allegiance to Augustus.The remnants of the Federation are still quite powerful, and no one knows when they will make a comeback.

The external, zerg and protoss threats have receded temporarily, but who knows when these terrifying alien creatures will make a comeback in the next year.

"It won't take too long." Augustus intended to reassure his brother:
"It's mine, no one else can take it away."

If someone really thinks that Augustus is a pure and innocent living saint and a revolutionary army dedicated to the people, once the Tyrannian Federation is overthrown, he will voluntarily dismiss him and return all the rights in his hands to the people, that is absolutely impossible.

After all, Augustus also said that people need their masters.Augustus was not Angus, he was not as ambitious and obsessed with power as Arcturus, but that did not mean he was immune to those temptations.The people worshiped only the image that Augustus showed them, and of course there were gaps.

Augustus was once forced to throw himself into the revolution, thinking that it would be all over and find refuge on an idyllic planet, but now his thinking has changed.Conquering the world is such a great cause, once you take that step, there is no chance of turning back.

"Hello, Mr. Mike Liberty." Augustus's attitude when he walked past several UNN employees immediately flattered them: "Also, Mr. Max Pierce and Mr. Doni Vermilian, thank you silent dedication."

"He knows me!" Vermilian, with his meticulous hairstyle, was overjoyed, immersed in joy, and shouted, "Wuhu—he knows me! He knows me!"

"I am your fan, Marshal Augustus, I"

"Nice to meet you, Marshal Augustus." Liberty and Pierce were seniors of UNN after all, and they looked much calmer:

"I didn't expect you to know our names."

"I appointed the list of the new UNN company's team." Augustus said: "Mike, next, you will be the editor-in-chief of the UNN Universe News Network, Marx, you are the reporter of the main station, and you have a programme."

UNN Universe News Network is a company controlled by shareholders, but Augustus obviously will not let such an important media platform fall into the control of others.

"That's great." Vormilian couldn't help feeling sour when he didn't hear his name.

"Of course, Vormilian, you also have a show." Augustus smiled and patted the other person on the shoulder before leaving.

"Do it well, you know how to speak."

Hearing this, Vormilian thought that Augustus was talking about the fact that he had scolded the other party, and immediately panicked, vowing in his heart that he would never speak ill of Marshal Augustus Mengsk again.

"Augustus, the headquarters of the Atlas United has been breached." Kerrigan said to Augustus at this time.

"Where's their commander? The UED captain." Augustus asked:

"I said, keep him alive as much as possible."

"He's dead," Kerrigan said.

"Huh" Augustus took a deep breath, surprised but also felt it was reasonable.This UED star who has not left any name should have disappeared in the long river of history.

"Did he die painfully?"

"A small piece of shrapnel went through his temple. When we found him, he was pale and his limbs were limp. He had a pistol with only one bullet by his side, which should be used to kill himself." Kerrigan Also sigh.

"He chose loyalty, what a noble quality." Augustus said:

"Bury him honorably."

Arcturus and others also felt sorry for this, but UED officers themselves have a strong sense of honor belonging to soldiers and are unyielding.

"Marshal! Marshal!" An adjutant from the Marshal's headquarters ran over quickly.

"There is an urgent call from Agria, where a terrible infection is spreading. Braxis has been attacked by the protoss, and unknown zerg nests have been discovered on Tyrador."

Before Augustus could say anything, another officer came over with a data panel on which a video shot by a drone was being played repeatedly.

On the ruins of a human command center, a tall protoss in black armor and red was looking at the screen, and the pair of towering psionic amplifiers behind him were like two blades.

"Huo Huo, creatures with such short lives, are you all eager to die?" His psionic signal became a mocking tut in the translation of the human equipment:
"If that's the case, let's go to war!"

"Krisol thok aran!" (Taldarin Protoss, my blades thirst for blood!)
　So coquettish!
　　Thanks for voting!
