StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 611 Enslaved Swarm
Empire West, Sammy.

Before the invasion of Zerg, there used to be a majestic city standing at the mouth of the widest and longest river on the main continent of Sami Star.The builders from Tarsonis called it Midgard, and the name stuck among the later inhabitants.When the sun rises from the sea level, travelers living in the best and most luxurious high-rise buildings in Midgard can enjoy the magnificent scene of the river rushing down into the sea, watching the surging waves in the blue ocean Cut out a gorgeous front.

Now, Midgard has fallen.

The city was originally located among the semi-aquatic jungles densely covered with rivers and swamps at the mouth of the sea. Now it is a gray desert as far as the eye can see, only ruins full of rubble and rubble stretching ghostly into the sky.This is a place of death, not even a carrion jackdaw stops here.

Like so many cities destroyed in Total War, the people who built Midgard spent 20 years raising the foundations, erecting walls, and erecting the dome, while the zerg destroyed it in just a few days.

The Sami Governor's Mansion is the best-preserved building in Midgard, but even so it has been riddled with holes, leaving only countless blackened walls and empty windows.

Here, the battle continues.

A company of Marines from Delta Squadron of the Tyranid Empire was trying to retake the crumbling Governor's Palace, and the marks of fierce fighting could be seen in every corridor and every room.

These soldiers in brown power armor face off against the vicious zerg, fearsome and cunning creatures that have decimated entire cities.Since its first appearance in public, the Zerg has replaced all human fear of the unknown and become synonymous with disaster and death.

Every imperial soldier who is advancing on the stairs full of worm intestines and rotten tissue is advancing amidst the sound of alloy boots trampling and the hissing of guns and beasts. It is faith, courage, and the enhancer drugs flowing in the body that allow them to overcome Facing the fear of the zerg.

Leading the company was a Delta Squadron captain, ex-Confederate and now Emperor Augustus Mengsk's Imperial Warrior.The captain has been seen in every battle against the swarm invasion, and his arms, which have been replaced with prosthetic implants, are a testament to his dedication and sacrifice.

"The Fritz Company called the command center. We have arrived at the office of the Sami Governor's Mansion and are breaking through!"

While calling the Fleet Command, Captain Fritz felt a clanking sound from the carbon shoulder shield on his shoulder, and the dense dense spines almost completely covered the bright white imperial emblem on the shield.Before he could order, a Punisher grenade from the Marauder had shattered the Hydralisk's ribcage, leaving it howling in a pool of its own blood.

Now, after killing hundreds of zerg and sacrificing many Imperial warriors, they finally stood before the bullet-riddled gates of the Governor's Office.

This was originally a door panel made of stamped wood, but now it has become as hard as steel because of the pulsating meridians and exoskeleton wrapped around it. It breathes as if it is alive. Growing spikes can also be seen inside the body.

"Turn on the dynamite." Fritz waved his hand.

An imperial soldier behind immediately placed a D-8 explosive on the gate, and as the gate was blasted open, the scene after that was gradually revealed to the imperial soldiers after the dust cleared.

The governor's office hadn't been cleaned for a long time. A collapsed bookshelf was lying in front of the black desk. There were many paper documents scattered on the wooden floor, and the crimson blood stains on them were shocking.

On the wall opposite the door is a portrait of Emperor Augustus Mengsk I. In the portrait, this heroic and extraordinary emperor is wearing a military uniform with a straight waist and tassels on his sword.

All of a sudden, it became quiet here, only the tireless mechanical clock was still ticking.Behind the collapsed bookshelf, the shadow of a person can be vaguely seen, and the rustling of the pen seems to indicate that this person is still alive, and is still handling official duties in the empire's territory for ten years.

A firebat wearing CMC-660 power armor pushed away other soldiers and came to the front. This heavy armor, which has been continuously strengthened since the guild war, turned the soldier wearing this armor into a bipedal walking gun. fire tank.

When the imperial firebat squeezed into the door frame that was too narrow for him, several pairs of swaying scarlet eyes appeared from both sides of the door like dancing red lights. These screaming zerglings used their sharp, like The claw-like forelimbs and the sickle-like appendages on the back grabbed the flame-throwing guns of destruction on the arm armor on both sides of the firebat armor.

The springtail, which was not much bigger than a large dog, contained unimaginable power. If it was only a human wearing light armor that walked in, he would have already been torn apart by five horses.

If these screaming little monsters are lucky enough, they can destroy the plasma feedback of the armor before the firebats can activate the injectors. Burn alive.

But the fighting instinct engraved in the genes has obviously not been updated. The firebat they faced was wearing an improved power armor equipped with thickened arm armor, which was derived from imperial engineers and armor technicians in response to various feedbacks on the battlefield. improvements made.

In an instant, two long, terrifying plasma flames spewed out from the end of the Flame of Destruction injector, and the pillars of fire burned everything they passed, just like when the platycodon was burning, screaming and jumping. The worm jumped and roared and was burned to death.

Captain Fritz followed the firebat into the governor's office, and his men also rushed in, shooting at positions and curtains that might hide the enemy.

"There is one survivor." Sergeant Wald pushed the bookshelf in front of the desk, and was about to open fire, but he didn't close his fingers holding the flight.

Sitting behind the desk was a thin man with unnaturally sunken eye sockets, without a trace of blood on his face.He was motionless and breathing, but the uniform on his body had long since become tattered, and his exposed skin was covered with scratches left by himself.

"Governor Sami." Fritz gasped.

In the information obtained by Fritz, Governor Sami is a tall, thin, black-haired man, a native of the country, and the former Governor of the Tyrannian Federation.When the fleet of Emperor Augustus arrived in Sami and brought news of the establishment of the new empire, he immediately led his people to surrender to the new emperor.

To the satisfaction of Governor Sami and his people, the emperor who once conquered Tarsonis with an iron fist and war did not liquidate anyone, and imposed his own rule on this planet by brutally bloodbathing the original government. Let the Sami govern their homeland.

To the people of this planet, the Governor is a respected leader.

"Medical soldier! There are wounded here." Sergeant Wald shouted.

"No!" Captain Fritz stopped him immediately: "We don't have to use the medical kit anymore, let's end his suffering with spike bombs."

On the opposite side, Governor Sami was writing something at his desk while muttering to himself, but the pen in his hand had long run out of ink, and the words he spoke were intermittent and extremely difficult to understand.

Strictly speaking, the emperor himself is the governor of all the imperial territories, and all the imperial governors only govern the territories on his behalf.

Fritz could see a thin black line running from the back of Governor Sami's neck, which looked like a stingray's stinger, and the stinger had cut through the neck, Tightly connected to the spine.

There is an infected bug here, it is hiding in a certain place, and it controls Governor Sami with a sting needle.

"What is he talking about?" another Imperial soldier asked.

"Assimilation. Emperor Augustus swarm attacked Sami and fell. I sent away the last batch of survivors. And I will be destroyed with Sami." He was chanting the oath of the imperial governor: "My emperor .Lord of Koprulu. I swear allegiance to you."

".Assimilation complete."

Midgard had been occupied for many days, and the governor seemed to be frozen in the moment of sending the last message to Kehal.

"Salute to you, governor." Fritz walked up to the governor, looking straight into his pale eyes.After a moment of silence, Fritz took out his own gun.

With a gunshot, the governor fell down, and the stinger on his back retreated from the ventilation duct in full view.

"Damn beast!" Several imperial soldiers fired several shots at the ventilation duct, but to no avail.

The Infestor is one of the most intelligent creatures among the Zerg. It is extremely cunning and will flee from danger immediately, making it very difficult to catch.

"That cunning monster has already run away, so there's no need to waste your efforts." Fritz closed his eyes for the governor, and regretted that he could only leave the other's body here.

If a person has been infested with an infestation worm, his body may already be full of disease-causing viruses and parasites, and the best solution is to be cremated.

Fritz reached over the holographic communicator on the desk and took out the storage disk from it.All the data stored in the security network of the Sami star on this disk recorded what happened to the planet before it fell, and it was the real goal of this Delta team.

"Mission accomplished, we need a transport ship." Fritz opened the communication channel and said.

"The transport ship will arrive soon." The other said: "God and Emperor Augustus bless you."

"Let's go." Fritz left an incendiary bomb in the governor's office, took the disk and led his troops to the parking platform outside the governor's mansion.

The Governor's Mansion Building is already the tallest building in Midgard, with a panoramic view of the city from the top floor.Among the ruins of the black ruins, the organic structures of the zerg have replaced the tall buildings.

At this moment, the purple creep covering the ruins is wriggling along with a large number of Zergs gathered. From a distance, densely packed Zergs have already taken over the entire city.

A special operations transport plane was hovering above them, its thruster wake whipping up a gust of wind on the platform.

In the distance, a bomber force of several hundred Banshee bombers was approaching Midgard.

Emperor Augustus was returning from the Hyperion's flight deck, walking down the passage to the command bridge, flanked by closed compartments and ladders for grabbing.

"The special operations team of the Delta Squadron has retrieved the data disk in the Sami Governor's Mansion, and Matt is about to order the fleet to carry out the bombing order." Marshal Renault came from the opposite side of the passage.

"Destroy the ruins, and we'll build new ones." Augustus just said, "When the time is right, the Sami people will come back here and rebuild their homes."

Fear of the Zerg has forced the Tyranids on the border worlds of the Empire to flee to a more central and safer world, and everything that happened during the first total war is being repeated.For this, the imperial government of Augustus has obviously been very experienced.

Renault and Augustus walked towards the bridge together: "I really didn't expect the Zerg to attack here suddenly. You must know that this area is separated from Phaer by half the Koprulu sector."

"Sammy's fall came as a surprise to all of us, because it was another swarm that wasn't under the Overmind's control, which is rare," Augustus said.

The news of the Zerg appearing in Sami had a great impact on Augustus's reputation. If the fleet of the Tyrannian Empire really defeated the Zerg Master in the Umojan world Phaethon as they claimed, then these Zerg Where do worms come from?

The emperor and the zerg, one of them always lied.

"Who knew that the evil dark consul Orega enslaved more than one cerebrate to serve him." Lei Nuo said, "It's not a powerful cerebrum, but it's enough to control a few small worm swarms."

"Hearing from Zeratul, it's really unfair that the Dark Archons can use their powerful psychic power to control the minds of others." He scratched his head because he couldn't find an adjective:
"It sounds like evil dark magic to project spiritual power into a physical creature to completely control the other's mind and body."

Even among the Dark Archons, mind control is considered an ultimate skill, as much a forbidden power as they are by the Dark Templar themselves.

Unlike many powerful swarms known to man, the zerg that emerged in Midgard had carapaces of deep yellow, a foul color somewhere between lemon and golden red.

"This is an unwarranted disaster. Orega frequently launched revenge on the Dalam protoss world, and Sami is too close to the protoss world." Augustus said.

A traveling Tarsonian archaeologist found the remains of the ancient civilization of the Sami Star in the geological formations of Midgard, and those lost cities all pointed to a once glorious race, the ancient Protoss .

This means that the Protoss once ruled or stayed on this planet in an unknown number of generations ago.

Sami is also very close to the protoss world Glacius, and the dark consul Orega is attacking that planet.

"What good does killing humans do to Aurega?" Reno asked.

"Because we are allies of Tassadar," Augustus said.

Dark Consul Orega, an extremely evil Nerazim protoss supremacist, a vengeful soul who has endless hatred for the Aiur protoss and incarnates evil spirits and flames.

"As long as it can achieve its goal, Orega will do whatever it takes." Augustus said: "In the intercepted and deciphered communication of the Scavenger Pirate Fleet, Alan Shezar also called Orega the boss, meaning that the other party The one who paid him."

"No matter how much money Orrega paid Chezar, dealing with a madman like that is playing with fire," Renaud said.

"We have nothing to talk about with Orega," Augustus said. "He wants to kill all the El Protoss."

"Maybe kill everyone in the universe."
