StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 595 The Emperor He Came He Came
In the late autumn of September, a Tyranid Empire marine barracks located on the southern continent of Talon VII was shrouded in darkness, and reddish-brown low clouds floated over the potholed land after the war.From the tarp-covered brown roofs to the hills in the distance, the world is an unsettling shade of red.

The heavy rain came as expected, and the reddish rain washed away the empty mechs and huge skeletons, and quickly filled the craters enough to hold several grown men.In these bottomless puddles, there is a kind of creature like prawns swimming in groups. They have just hatched from eggs. It seems that even war cannot completely erase this place. s life.

The weather was bad, the heavy rain made the soil lacking vegetation muddy, and it also turned the creek that could have been easily crossed into a rushing river.At this time of year, the temperature is still dropping, and it won't be long before it becomes cold and wet.

Tychus Finley was standing under the bright orange light at the entrance of a supply depot, lighting a cigar while looking at the dim sky.He had just slept for five hours and was wearing a khaki stiff-collared army shirt.

The current temperature is only about ten degrees, but this giant bear-like man doesn't seem to feel cold at all.

It was raining heavily outside, and the black shadow like the tower of Odin was standing upright in the wind and rain. From here, it was even bigger than the Starport in the distance. The rain-shielding camouflage covering it could cover more than a dozen people. Barracks.

Hundreds of mechanics in thick raincoats are overhauling Odin in the rain. Their faces and arms, which have been soaked in water for a long time, have wrinkled and whitened, and even turned a pale white.

It is very dangerous to be exposed to such an environment for a long time. The sulfur dioxide enriched in Talon's atmosphere often brings terrible acid rain. In some areas, it is directly diluted sulfuric acid, and this strong corrosive acid can even corrode steel.However, the PH value of the acid rain in this area is still within an acceptable range. In order to repair it in time, the commander of the Odin Engineering Corps can only allow those brave mechanics to do so.

Most of the people in the first engineering regiment of the Tyrannian Empire participated in the first full-scale war, and even went to Char and Ayr, while the second engineering regiment were all young people, with an average age of no more than 30 years old, but It is no longer a novice who has experienced war for the first time.

It is not unheard of for the Imperial armies to face the moody climates they have had to contend with when fighting across the stars.

"Tommy, boy, when can we call it a day?" Tychus yelled at the mechanic, and the boys just smiled at him.

Tychus wasn't exactly the amiable guy, and he didn't want to waste his time making useless friends, but mechanics weren't one of them, they were just as likable as warehousemen.Whether Odin can show his might on the battlefield as expected depends entirely on them.

"I think we have to wait another quarter of an hour. It's not easy to work in heavy rain." The mechanic named Tommy is a strong guy with blue eyes. I heard that he is from Haven, which is quite different from Talon. Far.

Odin's size is larger than all the current mechas of the Tyrannian Empire, and no modular warehouse can accommodate it.After all, this mecha can even step on the city wall, and if you want to install it, you can only hollow out the few mountains here.

"Keep it up," Tychus yelled. "Bugs don't rest when it rains! Fix it, will you?"

"Would you like to help? Daddy Tychus!" Tommy yelled louder.

"Old Tychus never worked overtime." Tychus took a puff of smoke, and immediately had a bad idea in his mind: "But I can take you to the medic's camp to see the little girl, God can testify, Maria Sarah The Sith (Maria Thalasses) are fucking hot."

The mechanics cheered and some whistled.Tychus' words sound obscene, but in fact he can also target female soldiers by abusing his power.But for the boys who have never seen a girl in eight lifetimes, gentle women in skirts are the only bright colors on this cruel battlefield. From this, it can be seen that Emperor Augustus Mengsk formed a female medical corps How wise is the decision.

After two or three months of bitter fighting, the Battle of Talon finally came to an end, and the powerful imperial fleet finally took back most of the land of Talon VII from the hands of the Jormungandr swarm.Although it turned out that Jormungandr was only attracted by another more valuable planet, it was also a victory for the imperial army who had been fighting for many days, and they finally had time to rest.

"Maria is notoriously violent, I suggest you don't mess with her." Carl walked out of the supply station.

As Carl's deep voice suggests, he is a serious-looking, short-haired man with a square face and light-colored eyes.His face was clean-shaven and his uniform was meticulous. He looked like a serious professional soldier.

Karl has a long scar on his face from the Battle of Talon.His archangel almost died there when he encountered a swarm of corrupt flying insects and a few flying snakes during an acid rain storm in the southern hemisphere.

"You don't understand women at all, Carl, you're just an ascetic." Tychus disagreed: "Sweet, spicy enough, just right, she's really a little pepper."

Maria Sarasis is the pilot of a medical transport plane, doing life-saving work, and the marines on Talon call her Mother.

This woman is not a character to be trifled with, and she beats up as many people as she saves.Sarah Sis, who has been treating the wounded on the battlefield for many years, has seen too many deaths, and her temper has become more and more strange. People think that she should see a psychiatrist.

"Women are poison." Carl silently tore open the packaging bag of a sweetener bar, and tore it as hard as eating Umoyan beef.

"Women love me, I will only die at the hands of men, because they are all jealous of me." Tychus was not so narcissistic before, but his positioning of himself has been changing.

"Undeniable." Carl nodded.

At first glance, Tychus Finley looked like the kind of tough guy with infinite strength, with chest muscles big enough to hold walnuts, but he was not lacking in masculinity.

"Who said no? Big stars are too popular." Tychus snorted, if he really had the charm of Augustus Mengsk Tyrannian male models, he would be able to meet the girls who came here for fame. From Keha Augustegrad Palace to Aurora Star Port.

"Anyone who knows you knows what you are." Karl had suffered from Tychus.Cal had known Tychus since he was still at the Imperial outpost on Calus, before he was the pilot of the Archangel.

On the first day of their acquaintance, Tychus and Karl hit it off right away, which means that brothers and sisters are very close.The next day, twelve girls from the local dry meat business came to the barracks and asked Karl to pay the arrears of whoring wages.

Bless Toteks, Karl has since been called Karl XII by those in the Outpost, and it's been a nightmare.

"I didn't say I was a man of honor." Tychus never cheated on his brothers.

"Okay, I have to go now." Carl shook his head: "I'm here to say goodbye to you."

"A new order?" Tychus turned his head away.

"It's Beta Saul," Carl said.

"Even that rotten stone is visited by zerg?" Tychus scolded in amazement: "There are already enough people shitting in the latrine of Koprulu, why the worms also come to join in the fun."

Thor II is a desolate dead world, the surface of the planet is covered with sticky sludge, the atmosphere is full of deadly mixed poison gas with extremely high concentration, and the whole world is shrouded in thick fog with extremely low visibility all year round.

No one could live there at all, and it was even more useless than Talon. The Tyranid Empire only established a small scientific research station on Sol II to study the planet's unique natural environment and swear its sovereignty by the way.

There are probably a few unlucky people in that scientific research station, either the meteorologists and star map compilers who were sent here, or the astrophysicists who are dedicated to making some achievements.But no matter what, since Thor messed up the bugs, most of these people would die too.

"The actions of the swarm seem to be disorderly, but they are definitely purposeful, but their behavior is usually difficult to understand with human thinking." Karl said to Tychus in a low voice: "I heard that Thor discovered a new Alien holy relic? There is a Naganaga temple there!"

"Oh? That's it." Tychus said firmly, "I bet the bugs are going there, they've been doing nothing for nothing.

"What do they want xel'naga stuff for? I know they're valuable, but the zerg don't need money—at least most of it."

It was more than a month ago that the scientists of the Tyranid Empire figured out the purpose of the Jormungandr swarm attacking Talon. This swarm seemed to be trying to use the planet's strong acid rain climate to optimize the swarm's genes, making its members Immune to the strong acid unleashed by Banelings.

With each world conquered, the Swarm grows stronger.

"Nobody knows, but since it's what the zerg want, we can't give it to them even if we blow it up!" Karl said.

Since the insect swarm reappeared in the Koprulu sector, there have been significantly more Xel'Naga temples rediscovered in the interstellar space or things related to it. It seems that these were left by the Xel'Naga clan countless epochs ago The ruins are gradually waking up.

What this means is currently unknown to humans.But one thing is for sure, the Xel'Naga's legacy appeals to the Zerg.

"Where are the protoss?" Tychus knew the protoss quite well: "If you insult the gods of these religious lunatics, they can slice you into sashimi with their shining blades."

Some of the Dalam protoss colonies near the Koprulu star sector were also attacked, because often those planets with the remains of the Xel'Naga were the holy places of the ancient protoss empire.The size of the Protoss Empire is so vast that it stands to reason that the Protoss can claim ownership of many, many lost worlds in the galaxy.

Although the Protoss Empire has long since declined and its power has shrunk significantly, their civilization has been brilliant after all.

"The Dalam protoss also seems to have freed up their hands and sent a fleet to clean up the master's hive world." Karl said: "This is beneficial to us."

"Burn them all, and no one will live—that's what they do." Tychus chuckled, "I hope they don't burn down our home while they're burning the zerg. "

"The Archbishop Tassadar is in power now, so we don't have to worry about that." Karl sighed, "I'm afraid they won't be able to survive the fire."

"The war has expanded again?" Tychus heard Karl's meaning.

"Marek V, Astrid III, and Scoria were also involved in the war. A brother of mine died in New Vancouver yesterday," Carl said:

"My brother was dragged into the main lair, and all his comrades found was his dagger. It was given to him by me, and the handle was made of Meyer's elk antler."

"You don't look very sad." Tychus had no brothers, and he didn't seem to remember having a mother there when Mar Sara fell.

"My tears have dried up." Carl said with a cold expression, "I advise Arthur that war is just war, there is no security guarantee, and you don't have to go to the battlefield if you want to be a hero."

"But he didn't listen. He made a bet with a rival in love, saying who can become a hero on the battlefield, and return home to embrace the beauty."

How long has passed since the outbreak of the war?How many people died in less than half a year?Hundreds of millions of people.

During the Revolution, the rulers of the Old Federation always fabricated news about the massacre of civilians by the Revolutionary Army, or placed crimes committed by other rebel organizations on Augustus Mengsk and his father and brothers.But counting the entire uprising war period, the dead humans are far less than those slaughtered by the Zerg.

War is not a romantic affair, it is always haunted by the theme of blood, fear and sorrow.There are no real winners here, only death harvesting souls from it.This is especially true when fighting the Zerg.

Most of the real revolutionaries died on the front line in the early stages of the war, and now the army is full of young people who have just grown up.

It's hard to say why these people joined the Imperial Army. Before they were recruited, they didn't even have any enthusiasm for the Tyranid Empire, and they never saw the terrifying Zerg with their own eyes.

It cannot be denied that soldiers are indeed a respectable profession in the Tyrannian Empire. Thousands of connections.

There is a trend in the current Tyrannian Empire. If a strong adult male does not defend his home and country, he will be regarded as a coward, and beautiful girls are more fond of those handsome imperial officers.In order to show off in front of the girl they like, there are quite a few people who join the army in a daze.

"The idiot," Tychus said succinctly.

"I really have to go." Karl looked at Tychus and said, "I have one more thing to tell you before that. The Emperor is coming to Talon."

"Your days are over."

"Gah?"

If the emperor himself marches, who will work overtime in August's palace.
