StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 511 What Is an Imperial Flagship?

"Exchanging fire with the enemy!"

"Attack formation."

"The attack height is 1."

More than 12 CF/A-14G wraith fighters from the 130th and 17th Imperial Aviation Regiments participated in the siege of the Alexander. This altitude is above the floating clouds, and the sun is like a halo above.

Hundreds of golden-red wraith fighters rose from under the clouds, coming fiercely.The enemy also flew out more than 60 wraith fighters covered in tendons, tentacles and tumor-like hyperplastic tissue, which is equivalent to the number of a full-staffed UED expeditionary fighter aviation wing.

The Imperial fleet is in a state of stealth, but they are still exposed to the detection system of the Alexander.The battle brought a climax while meeting the enemy, and the formations of both sides experienced downsizing almost in the first minute.

A group of Imperial Wraith aircraft approached the port side of the Alexander under the wonderful flying skills, almost flying close to each other.The commander of the squadron took the lead in sending two dual-star missiles into the exposed bridge of the Alexander, then raised the nose to raise the height, and used the laser cannon carried by the fighter plane to bombard it closely against the wide upper sampan.

Subsequent Wraith fighters followed suit, leaving multiple wounds on the rusty hull of the Alexander.

In response to these attacks, flesh-colored tentacles poured from the Alexandria's cracked armor and shattered portholes, swaying like spider webs in the wind.A tentacle whip lashed towards the leading wraith fighter with a whistling wind, but it dodged it with amazing reaction speed and maneuverability, but hit the one behind it, smashing it into bright fireworks .

Another wraith was pierced through the cabin cover, directly nailing the pilot to death on the high-speed fighter plane.Then, the fighter plane was dragged by the tentacle and continued to fly, like Alexander's marionette.

"All fleet, follow my instructions. Lock on the target and fire freely."

Under the Tyranid Empire flagship Hyperion, Augustus had a panoramic view of the fierce battlefield.Many unparalleled steel giant ships approached Meccadon, and the radio channels immediately became dense.

The brave Imperial Wraith fighter formation immediately received strong fire support from the fleet, and large fireballs rose from the fleet and hit the target accurately.More fighter planes took off from the hangars of the battlecruisers, and the dock repair yard was also ready to repair damaged fighter planes.

The Imperial fleet quickly surrounded the appearing Alexander and launched a fierce attack.This is a once in a lifetime opportunity.In the past, this former UED flagship disappeared into the vast universe like a ghost, spreading plagues and disasters in areas beyond the reach of the empire.

The Alexander must be found and destroyed, otherwise the Tyrannian Empire will be in trouble.

Augustus looked at the Alexander outside the porthole of the bridge, and couldn't help sighing, realizing that he could no longer see what it used to look like from the majestic UED flagship.However, speaking of it, the current appearance is more familiar to him.

"She wasn't that big. Compared with our fighter jets, it is still much worse. Only heavier and more powerful missiles can hurt this giant steel beast." He said.

Augustus left his elder brother Prince Arcturus in Keha to sit in the palace, entrusted him with all the government affairs, and asked him to govern the empire while he was away, while he himself led the fleet to resist the enemy.

Prince Arcturus knew government affairs well, and he quickly figured out what to do.His methods may not be as gentle as Augustus, but in this special period, he is able to calm down the floating forces in the new empire.

It is difficult for Augustus's subordinates to find a capable and absolutely loyal politician like Arcturus. If you let Renault become prime minister, you might as well let him die.

"The Alexander used to be Dugal's flagship, and it was originally a large warship. Your Majesty, it is clear that Carlos' organic transformation transformed it into a Zerg life form. In other words, the current Alexander is 'alive' .” As the royal xenomorph biologist and Xel’Naga research expert favored by Emperor Augustus recently, Dr. Narud can be said to be proud of himself recently.

Narud had no intention of going around Augustus, but only by doing so could the suspicion of the suspicious emperor be reassured.It has to be said that this young emperor is one of the most difficult humans Narud has ever encountered.

"Look at the current Alexander, Lieutenant General Stukov, let's take a look." Augustus turned his head and looked back, his eyes skipped over Kerrigan with a serious expression and Tychus who was scratching his butt boredly, It fell to former UED expeditionary force commander Alexei Stukov.

The Alexander's air-to-air broadsides have been covered with exoskeleton carapaces or wriggling organs and worm eyes. That does not mean that her nearside firepower is very weak and cannot expel the flexible Wraith fighters. At the same time, this ship is completely covered. The warships corrupted by the zerg have weapons that were not available in the past.

What the rusty muzzle shoots out is not metal ammunition and lasers, but explosive infected bodies with deadly acid accumulated in their stomachs and giant tentacles that can break fighters.

Tens of thousands of deformed humans were ejected from the Alexander. These mutant humans were continuously thrown at the incoming Imperial fighter planes, and fell from the sky tens of thousands of feet if they missed a single blow.Once these living bombs fall, they will cause terrible damage and pollution that is difficult to eradicate to the environment and water sources on the ground, and both the army and facilities will also suffer devastating blows.

Countless tentacles dance like a stinging sea anemone or an octopus that's just me.It was such a monstrous mixture of steel-deck cannons and biological tissue that even the most absurd writer of ghost stories could not describe the chilling scene.

Stukov's thin cheeks looked even more shriveled, and his cheeks were bulging, as if he was sucking something.He was a man of strong will and never felt the slightest bit of fear when the Ghosts of Nova Squadron threatened to knock out all his minds.

But now, Stukov really looks like he's about to cry.

When setting off from Tarsonis, there were about 8000 people on the Alexander, from many colonies on Earth, but they all believed that they were fighting for mankind.Perhaps the United Earth Council's claim to defend Earth and humanity is just an excuse for their hegemonic goals, but there's no denying that these soldiers had lofty ideals.

Only, by the time Stukov saw them, the soldiers had become twisted monstrosities, retaining only their humanity in the depths of their hearts enslaved by the mind of the Hive Hive.

So many, so many people died, became part of the zerg.That's the way swarms are, either get eaten and become part of them, or perish.

"It was my fault, my plan led to this tragic defeat. For Dugal and those fighters, death may only be the beginning of tragedy." Stukov was still wearing his dark brown military coat, But his hands and feet were not bound.

Under the watchful eyes of the royal guard, even Stukov could not hurt the emperor or turn his head and run away.

This reluctance to submit to Augustus is only a small part of the reason why Stukov is still imprisoned today.In fact, Augustus respected principled enemy officers and commanders, but Stukov deliberately provoked the Tadarim and Tyranid humans into conflict, and activated the psionic transmitter.

This means that even if Stukov finds favorable evidence and arguments to justify his actions, he must be responsible for the destruction of those planets.

He is a hero of the people on Earth, but he is only a war criminal of the Tyranids.

Of course, Stukov didn't care at all.At the last moment, he could only choose to fight to the death, sacrificing some Tyranids to save the earth and the wider world after that, he could only choose one of the two.It's really hard to make up your mind, he's not a cold-blooded person after all.

And Stukov never thought that a powerful Tyranid regime might become a barrier for the earth.

"This is retribution, you know?" Tychus's handsome, gold-embroidered uniform of a vice-captain of the Royal Guards looked out of place on Tychus, making him look like a bear and a blowfly in a tuxedo.

"God knows what you did."

However, in Tychus's own opinion, his current appearance is naturally romantic.During this period of time, he was really doing well. He drove the big guys out for a ride every day. What kind of wolf warriors and Draken laser tanks were just exhibits in the Tychus garage.

Augustus also inadvertently mentioned that Tychus will be able to drive bigger things in the future.Anyway, Tychus was looking forward to it.

"Can I get a comm link with the Alexander?" Augustus asked his adjutant.

"Your Majesty, the reactor of that ship may have stopped running a long time ago. Now, what drives it is no longer electricity but the biological energy of the movement of the Zerg organization." The adjutant was a young man with blond hair.Those who can work on the Hyperion are the best people in the Imperial Navy, and they are not like some civilians who see Augustus and bow down.

"That's it. The Zerg can also communicate with us directly through the transduction of electronic signals through psychic energy, just like the Protoss. I think Admiral Dugal may not be in the mood to accept your questioning now." Dr. Narud chuckled , showing subtle, detectable pity for this former boss.

"If Dugal remained sane, he wouldn't be able to ruin this planet." Stukov shook his head.

"Further research is needed. If Marshal Dugal is willing to visit my laboratory, it will be easy, isn't it?" Narud's words made Stukov furious.

Stukov angrily shouted at Narud: "Traitor, are you not ashamed of what you have done?"

"Yes, today Narud can betray you, tomorrow he can betray us, and the day after tomorrow will be all human beings." Tychus snorted, and his two violent blue eyes turned away.

Tychus knew that he was an uneducated vulgar man, a warrior, and usually had a little respect for doctoral scholars and so on.

But here in Tychus, Dr. Narud is not welcome.

This poor guy, who has no money for experiments, has come to the empire to beg for food.

"A fish will follow its instinct to jump into deeper waters, otherwise it will be sunburned to death on the drier foreshore." Narud smiled, and this scheming guy couldn't help but compliment Augustus, saying that he It's just that I was born at the wrong time and didn't meet the Ming Lord, my heart is still Tai Lun's heart:

"I used to think that the UED could overthrow the Tyrannian Federation's tyranny, but I later learned that they are another group of tyrants."

At this moment, the assembled imperial fleet has replaced the previous dragging Alexander's wraith aircraft group to perform the main attack mission. Amidst the roar, bright orange barrages broke through the clouds and fog, and the enemy ships were torn apart.

Amidst the roar of the Yamato cannon that sounded three times in succession, the giant fireball tore through the clouds like the rising sun, and the nuclear explosion bound by the magnetic field bombarded the Alexander and the other two ships at the same time.

A battlecruiser on the lower left of the Alexander suffered the first fatal salvo, and the side that was hit head-on was tilted downward due to the impact of the explosion at a large angle and lost its horizontal balance.Large pieces of broken tentacles and metal fragments splashed out like blood, like a torn stomach.

A shot from the Hyperion's magnetically confined particle main guns spelled the final demise of the infected battlecruiser.With a violent roar, the battlecruiser was split in two from the middle, and the burning steel fragments fluttered like catkins in the wind, and they were clearly visible in the violent wind in the sky.

As for Augustus, he could see that the cracked battlecruiser was already riddled with holes, like a lung that had been ravaged by nicotine for hundreds of years.Thousands of cabins of different sizes on the battlecruiser are stuffed with all kinds of distorted tissues and organs and rows of eggs. The corpses of the dead are piled up in the engine room and warehouse in a mess. The destruction of the battleship was incinerated.

It was more like a large zerg slain than a human steel warship, the crew of which met a tragic end.

In the enemy fleet's front, the Alexander, which had been bombarded by multiple Yamato cannons, was still impregnable and stood still.

But Alexander seemed to be on the point of retreating. She came without warning, and no one knew why.

"Alexander is running, and I bet there is something bigger waiting to catch him," Tychus said.

"Mechanical lieutenant, activate the overload state of the Hyperion." Augustus seemed to have light in his eyes: "We must catch up with Alexander."

Perhaps, future Tyrannian historians who will describe this battle will use epic words to describe this scene, but they will never be able to guess what Emperor Augustus was thinking at this moment.

"Order from whom?"

"Augustus Mengsk," Augustus said.

"Highest authority." The mechanical adjutant's voice was cold, and then changed his tone, but a rough voice came out from that beautiful mechanical face, like 1 Swans screaming in Augustus' ear at the same time:

"You bad thing, think again."

"20% overload." Augustus changed his words.

"Just a little bit of overload."

The huge and majestic hull of the Hyperion is bathed in the radiance of the solar core, like the golden chariot of Apollo holding the sun, exuding golden energy and heat, and the brightness and full shield force field are rising steadily.
