StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 509
"The 'Swift' formation is 3.2 miles away from Meccaton, and the estimated time of arrival is 30 seconds."

Capt. Erik Snabb's CF/A-17G Wraith is descending like a lithe falcon from 7000 feet, down over a cloud of obscuring stratocumulus clouds.As the numbers on the radar altimeter kept beating, the large area of ​​inland swamp forest in the eastern continent of Agria consisted of fern-like trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants was like a green ocean.

A winding road leads directly to the city of Meccadun outside the canopy, like a gray ribbon.Even though it was not the first time to overlook the magnificent scenery of Agria from a high altitude, Captain Eric couldn't help admiring in his heart.

The last time Eric saw such a beautiful planet was in the distant Haven.

Agria is a treasure given to mankind by the stingy galaxy. Her unique natural conditions have created a well-seasoned paradise on earth.Those who live in barren lands should envy the Agrians, for they were born in the cradle.

"All Swifts, check the heading setting 3-0-0, altitude 2992. Approach at low altitude and search for ground targets." Eric felt that his wraith fighter was approaching its prey like a strong kestrel, and the sky was being swarmed Far behind.And Eric's wingman is nearby, and the steel wings operating in these formations are equally imposing.

Those were two Tyrannian Empire-style wraith fighters with beautiful golden-red paintwork, and they were of course perfect in the eyes of the pilots.In fact, the Wraith was once the best stealth fighter of the Revolutionary Army, and it is still the same now.

Each Wraith may have the same bloodline, from the same planet and starport, but the modular casting process makes them maintain a consistent aesthetic.

The radar scanning chart shows the positions of other fighters of the Swift Squadron, and in front of them are more than 400 Grizzly bombers and Banshee bombers. The unstoppable Kings of the Sky are rapidly approaching the city of Mecca in the forest fog .

The Tyranid Empire is already the revolutionary army that still has to rely on transport ships to modify bombers. The new Banshee fighter is a new generation of stealth bombers, and it is a well-deserved king of the battlefield.

Yes, even so, the Wraith Fighter is still far behind at this time, after all, it is still many years away from its release.The new ray tracker and cloaking mods make the Wraith's ghostly stealth hawk extra sharp, and past anti-aircraft guns are like a kid with a slingshot to the Wraith.

"Hu Ning received it on the 3rd."

"Swift received it on the 4th."

Everything is abnormal.

Under the heads-up display, the ugly MacGadden was getting murkier.Two months later, Hu Ning'an even knew how to spell the word, but now he can recite it backwards.

Meccaton, the seventh smallest immigrant city in the Griffinian immigration land, has a population of more than 70 million after 100 years, and is the smallest industrial and port freight center on the planet.This is the unimaginable prosperity of the fringe world. In the past, Agree knew many comrades who had been to the military training center in Meccadon for treatment. The beautiful scenery outside was a good medicine to heal the wounds in human hearts.

That's all in the past.

Hu Ning'an said silently in his heart: It's all in the past.

Today's Meccaton has become a nightmare to avoid, with thousands of low-rise buildings collapsing and reduced to ruins, and countless prosperity and splendor disappear in the blink of an eye.

It took humans many years to build the current Mecca, and it took two generations of time and effort, but it only took two days for the swarm to destroy it.

Whether it is a paradise like Huning Anya or a barren red Gobi like Antiga, there is no difference outside the eyes of the Zerg.So that's why Agri fought for it. Is there any reason to talk to this kind of monster? The truth is only within the range. If you want to reason with bugs, it can only be dead bugs.

"Check the weapons and prepare for battle. The sky below Meccadon is a free combat zone, and fire at all unidentified ground and air units." An order from the command headquarters came from Hu Ningan's communication channel.

Immediately he replied, "Backing back, Headquarters."

The Swift Squadron and the other two Wraith Fighter Squadrons performed the task of escorting the bomber formation, in other words, they were nanny.

In past wars with Zerg, it was difficult for humans to gain air supremacy.One of the most critical problems is that the zerg also have their "fighters" and bombers, and they have fewer and better ones than humans.Just like making popcorn, a few eggs can turn into dozens of different dragons and blasters, and then these monsters will take a step back and mutate into other more terrifying flying monsters.

Every human fighter pilot who takes off in the Zerg Wars must be prepared to die generously. Compared with the task of expelling pirates on the edge of the world, it is a stroll in one's own garden.

With or without air supremacy, superior firepower coverage can be discussed.But the Juninian swarms are very common, they use less infected humans and other creatures as weapons, and they don't have the small air power of the Leviathan swarm and the Jormungandr swarm, which means that Eric The Swarm will struggle to gain air superiority.

Agari encountered only a few overlords in Gryffinia, and his comrades would call dealing with these flying creatures with giant air sacs poking balloons.

Every cerebrate has a unique personality and tendency, and their group naturally inherits this.The advantages will be obviously reduced, but it also means that the brain worms are the strengths of their own clan.

But when fighting against the Eric group, the human air force is under much less pressure.

"Ground troops are found above, west of Highway 5." A wraith fighter pilot said off the channel:
"Friendly, repeat, friendly. It's the 45th Marine Brigade."

"Damn, for God's sake, don't be surprised, you bitch." Another pilot muttered, "I almost dropped something on board."

"Bundle you under the seat, coward, or you'll eject yourself." No one responded.

"You are more nervous than mom."

They are all members of the Swift Squadron, and they are Agree's two wingmen.Flying terms must be precise enough, but pilots who are intimidated by teammates are prohibited from swearing.

Just like all the ace fighter squadrons of the Tyrannian Empire, Swift Squadron is composed of experienced veterans, with or without unlucky recruits.

In the past, Swift Squadron belonged to the Keha Revolutionary Army.Hu Ningan still remembers that when he first joined the Revolutionary Army, there were only seven Wraiths outside the hangar of the Huberian, and the ammunition weighed a few pounds per person on average.

To expand the hangar, you have to buy, borrow, or even rob. As for pilots, the revolutionary army is in short supply. In some worlds where spacecraft have become popular, rich kids can fly planes.

But now, Swift is a registered Air Force Squadron of the Tyrannian Empire, and the former rebel army has also turned into a government army.Good times seem to be coming, and if Agri and his comrades perform well, they may become flying heroes known throughout the world of the Empire.

Agree had such a dream only once, and was awarded the hero medal by Emperor Augustus himself on the Kehayin Tower.After defeating the Protoss and the Zerg, Hu Ning'an can go back to his hometown and get married before he becomes famous.

I heard that many nobles in Tarsonis are down and out now, and many noble elder sisters and viscountesses have devoted themselves to imperial officers.

This era belongs to the Tyrannian Empire, and the former revolutionaries became the current rulers.

"It turned out to be the Ming flight unit, two Avenger Spitfire fighter jets, with a speed of 400 knots, and they are coming towards us!"

"I'm locked!"

"Shoot them down!" Agree ordered:
"The latter one belongs to me, and you share the rest. Don't let the people of Ariel Nord Squadron snatch it."

The motto of the Swift Squadron is, no matter what, I've got to shoot one down.

Even though he had only been in the Revolutionary Army for two years, Agree was already a veteran, having flown as few as 57 missions in Griffinia alone.Agri may be the best Wraith pilot, but he's definitely the one that fits the most.

He is a ghost.

Every Wraith pilot considers them the best trump card, an arrogance born of the loyalty and excellence of the unit.The wraiths of the Tyrannian Empire once competed with Zerg and Protoss in the air, and their footprints are all over the planet's inner environment and safe barren universe.

Wraith fighter pilots have the most cowardly souls in the fleet, they are the most dissolute air cowboys in the entire universe, and those captains who shouted to abandon the ship after a piece of paint on the ship's side are worthy of wearing shoes.

Agri is one of the best pilots of Wraith fighters, he was one of those young people who dreamed of flying into the blue sky.When the revolutionary army came to Agri’s hometown, he was still driving his father’s large aircraft to provide rescue services to the children of dignitaries and dignitaries who were traveling. Unexpectedly, a number of air force commanders found Agri and said that if you want to try it, it’s even worse. meaning work.

In any case, Agri never regretted his original decision.In the revolutionary army, he met many young people who were cold and affectionate, and made many friends. ——Although many of them left Agarui forever, including his first love boyfriend.

A streamlined fighter plane appeared at the edge of Agri's field of vision, and was approaching at an accelerated speed.It was an old Avenger, the kind used by the local militia.Speaking of which, only a wealthy place like Griffinya can support the Air Force.

In other words, in a big place, a yacht can be used as a battleship with a large-caliber gun installed, so you have to throw away the goods.

But this Avenger is the same as what Agri has seen. Its silver-white fuselage is covered with a thick layer of inorganic substances and a brown carapace. The engine exhaust port and exhaust port have been covered with tubular objects. replaced.

The pitiful driver is bound under the driver's seat by countless nerves, his head may have been opened, and the proliferated brain nerves extend from it, blending with the entire cockpit, like the cerebellum of a creature.

Even if it still maintains the appearance of a human fighter, the internal structure of this Avenger is already completely the same.This Zerg-infested fighter is refueled, and it can directly swallow low-energy gas.

Agri turned on the safety switch of the main weapon, and stared up at the prompt on the HUD display.Adjust the speed and aiming position, pull the trigger decisively, and the two dual-star air-to-air missiles are ejected.

At the same time, the Avenger fighter plane on the opposite side also activated its cannon and fired violently amidst the shock of the air.But its speed is completely comparable to that of a Wraith fighter, and its accuracy is also comparable to that of a laser-guided missile.

Such infected fighters are usually opponents of human pilots with thinking and judgment ability, but they have no other attack methods, such as self-detonation at close range or life-changing.

Eric's swarm is a wonderful flower among the various clans of the swarm. They even produced bombers full of explosive infections, and the effect was very wrong.

When the Avenger fighter plane was hit, thousands of sparks and fragments were blown out, Hu Ningan's wraith had drawn an arc as far as several miles away, and he could not appreciate the spectacular explosion scene.

Another poor soul saved.

Even the hardest-hearted would say they'd be set free before seeing an Infested enslaved by a swarm.

"The target has been destroyed, it is mine." The pilot of Junin No. 4 said in a low voice.

"It is indeed yours." Hu Ning'an said.

At this time, the city of Meccadon was directly above Agri, and the city seemed to be in a brown haze, covered with a beautiful layer of creep.

Among them, only a few small skyscrapers are still standing, but there are still throbbing veins entwined beneath them.Some buildings are quickly marked and scaled down in the display

"Dive to a thousand feet and attack the ground-based anti-aircraft fire." Agree continued to order:
"Repeat, dive and fire."

The ruins of Meccadon seem to be close at hand, just like a piece of rotten and smelly grapefruit peel.Some gray dots appeared on the display, and the information indicated that they were Zerg spore crawlers, a weird creature capable of "spitting up" anything in the sky, even a battlecruiser.

True, Meccadon was once an ugly city, but it has been transformed into a zerg hatchery.The dreaded Erik Swarm has taken over Megadon, turning it into a source of infection that spreads the blight.

There is only one choice for human beings, then burn it and build a new one.

And Agri noticed that there were some smaller Zerg buildings in the city of Meccadon, which were shaped like huge green water sacs, like small Antiga mushrooms with green heads.

From their splayed nozzles, little gobs of green goo are blasted tens of thousands of feet into the air, capable of threatening even fleets in low orbit.It's hard to imagine what kind of organ played a role in this process, but in short, any pilot wants his fighter plane to be wiped.

"What's that?" Iris asked.

"Well, I guess it's bile, sir," replied a Swift.

"It's in charge, blow it up." Hu Ning'an said:
The young Swift offered a wise saying, which benefited him a lot in this infinite life.

That's fucking fuckin'.

"Swift calls in the bomber formation to fuel our old friends."

　Ask for a ticket.

　　Before I knew it, I felt that it would reach 200 million next month.
