StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 637
The first star of the empire, Keha IV, the capital of the empire, Augustegrad.

Although Augustgrad's history is short, this great city has conquered all the imperial people who have ever been here.

The rolling mountainous borders of Augustgrad are expanding outward like breathing every day. The big river rushing through the radioactive wasteland has now become part of the city, with mountains reaching into the sky on both sides. The skyscrapers and beautiful silver towers are brilliantly lit at night, reflecting the radiance of the river.

Unlike the city of Tarsonis, which hides its filth under its splendor and elegance, Augustegrad has been the undisputed imperial capital of the Tyrannian Empire since its completion.This is not a city full of warm and soft colors. Augustegrad exudes the calm charm of a monarch and the coldness and majesty of a king.

Korhal was the center of the Tyranid Empire, and Augustgrad was the center of Korhal.Keha is regarded as a symbol of the re-emergence of the Tyrannian race from the scorched ruins, and even gradually evolved into a belief, while Augustegler interprets human wisdom and infinite power, representing A race that has experienced suffering and war has once again regained its confidence.

Seen from the air, the cobweb-like dense train tracks of August Grad look like the fine blood vessels of the entire city. Every day, thousands of commuters will take the train from one end of August Grad to the other. .

For imperial people of different eras, Keha and Augustegler have very different meanings.

For the children born and raised in August Grad, the city is just a strange and friendly hometown.

"Aha! Augustgrad! I'm home!"

The golden dome of the palace shone in the sun like a pyramid of gold, and the spiers that ruled the skyline seemed to support the entire gray sky.Augustograd may be the ideal imperial capital of Augustus the Great, a modern metropolis composed of countless steel towers supporting the sky and magnificent giant buildings.

A transport ship with the Cerberus Cerberus logo slowly landed on the top apron of the Augustegrad Palace, and the landing gear opened as soon as it landed.

Then, a worm queen wearing white gloves stepped out gracefully, stretched out her hand and pulled out a wheelchair from behind.Lying on the wheelchair was an obese cerebrum, lying in an enchanting posture.

The cerebrate raised its head arrogantly, and only the queen bowed to salute.

Both the Cerebral Worm and the Queen Worm have traces of mechanical transformation. The former is to make themselves enjoy more comfortably, while the latter is to kill better.

"Master Alpha, welcome back. When are you leaving?" Rosa Morales, the maid of the palace, put her foot on the wheelchair and bent down to stare at the cerebrate.

Rosa Morales wore a black velvet waitress uniform with a royal coat of arms pinned to a lace skirt.Objectively speaking, Morales is also very beautiful. In the years when she did not need to wear power armor to fight, her white skin and slender legs were fully revealed.

Morales was originally a medical lieutenant in the Earth Expeditionary Force, and was later named and elected to the palace by Emperor Augustus.Originally, Morales was just a court doctor, but later became the emperor's attendant.

This is a strange thing, the ancient kings would use this method to select future concubines.But since Queen Sarah has no opinion, it is difficult for others to say anything.

"Go back to Augustograd for a small meeting, and we'll be leaving in two days." The cerebrum squinted at Morales with its evil little eyes: "Augustus called me from Kuskovo with a single word." When he got back, he didn’t give any reason. The emperor treated his loyal subjects like dogs. He acted recklessly. Sooner or later, the country will be ruined.”

After the baptism of the years and the polishing of the Sarnaga artifact, the royal cerebrate Alpha became more and more calm, unless he was in a hurry, he did not dare to openly call Augustus the dog emperor.

Now there is still the unlucky Sass on duty to recharge the Xel'Naga artifact, otherwise it will be the one that suffers.

In addition, there are many brain worms in the palace who dare not mess with them.This dangerous earth woman in front of her is very difficult to mess with. It is said that Morales gave the old master a hard injection when she was in Char, so there is nothing she dare not do.

"Don't say a few words, the emperor is angry now, be careful he puts you in prison." Morales's voice was very gentle, but there was always a sharp knife in her words: "This time, don't expect to ask for forgiveness." You can escape."

"I've heard of some recent things." The brain worm shrank his neck, not daring to say anything more: "The empire is now cleaning up the traitors of the empire, and people are imprisoned for crimes every day. In the end, all the prisons in the empire have died. Overwhelmed, we can only temporarily mobilize prison ships to stop over the city."

"No matter when, human beings can't change their infighting."

The great cleansing had just ended, and it didn't last long. The queen just made a gash on the growing body of the empire, and let out a stream of pus and blood.Even so, people in the imperial capital are inevitably panicked, because no one wants to be implicated.

"This is the disadvantage of individuals having free will. Augustus should implant Cerberus engineering control nerves in all mankind." Once again, the cerebrates expressed their opinions on how to better rule the empire.

"It's so anti-human," Morales said.

"In terms of results, this is the most effective approach." This cerebrate is very similar to a human being, but in some respects it has completely opposite views, for example, it never thinks that it is necessary to commemorate those warriors who died for the ethnic group.

"Well, I don't care about any empire at all, what does it have to do with me, no one wants to see Augustus kicked off the throne more than me." It glanced at Morales: "Of course, if he asks It’s a different matter if I help him.”

"Forget about him, where's my little Louis?"

"If you are going to find Louis, she is currently studying ballet with a tutor hired by the royal family." Morales said.

Hearing this, the cerebrate looked at the queen Zagara who was next to her, and the latter nodded immediately.

"Louis doesn't need to study, she just needs to learn how to dominate the swarm. Now at her age, she should eat, drink and have fun." It then yelled: "Take me to find her while there is still time."

"I'm not your subordinate." Morales snorted.

"I beg you to take me to find her." The cerebrate held its head high.

"...If you frighten her, the queen will definitely chop you into meat paste." Morales took this set, turned around and walked away.

"What is this? I treat her like a daughter." The cerebrate was furious and grinned.

"The queen told me not to let the brain worms take care of the children." Morales said, "Who told you to teach the children to swear."

"I changed it a long time ago, I changed it a long time ago." The brain worm was weak.

This cerebrum has never shown too much liking for a certain human being, but Princess Louise is an exception, which seems to be related to her innately high "zerg affinity".It turns out that Louis Mengsk's innate psychic abilities even caused the zerg to see her as one of their kind.

Morales didn't answer, but just led the way.The brain worm drives the wheelchair propeller to follow closely, and behind him is the light-footed Zagara.

Compared to when the cerebrate left, the Augustograd Palace has become different again, and many precious works of art have been added.

The gate after passing through the apron is the reception hall of the palace. The reception hall has a parquet floor and a high mural ceiling. On one side is the entire floor-to-ceiling window, from which you can directly overlook the city of Augustegrad. The other side is decorated with mirrors and candlesticks embellished with gold leaf.

A young man wearing the uniform of the Imperial Stilling Military Academy walked towards him. His long smooth golden hair and gray eyes that seemed to contain a storm were impressive.

"...So it's Mr. Alpha." Prince Valerian was really taken aback when he saw the brain worm and the queen, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.

"Hello." The cerebrate glanced at him.

Valerian was Princess Louise's cousin, and as a member of the royal family he deservedly received the best upbringing.And although he seems a bit exaggerated and idealized due to lack of tempering, he has already demonstrated outstanding temperament and ability.

As the oldest royal of this generation, Valerian has inherited his mother's good looks and the paternal family's sharp gray eyes, and has attracted a lot of attention from the outside world.

At this time, Valerian stretched out his hand to shake hands with the cerebrate opposite, but felt that something was wrong, and the scene was a little awkward for a while.

Fortunately, the cerebrate still stretched out its tail in disgust: "Don't provoke me, kid, I hate the Mengsk family."

"But I am proud that I am a member of the Mengsk family." Valerian could only smile, and walked to the other side to go to the academy.

"Valerian was loved by Emperor Augustus, and he is also the heir of Prince Arcturus. As a royal, he is not arrogant, and treats others with humility and courtesy. No one who has met him does not like him." Mo Laris said to Cerebral Worm, "But you hate him."

"This kid wants to be like his uncle, that's the end of it. How does he know that Augustus Mengsk is a sadist." Cerebral Worm still has lingering fears when he thinks of those painful memories.

Augustus Mengsk used him to experiment with the Xel'Naga artifact Nova Shock, and that was a painful memory.Later, Augustus actually said that this was all to wash away Xel'Naga Amon's influence on the will of the swarm, and it was called a cleansing and retraining, and it had to thank him in the end, which is really unreasonable.

"It cannot be denied," said Morales.

As she said that, Morales walked into a cross aisle in the palace, and saw a little girl in a white tutu flying out, really like a free white swan.

The girl has long red hair and large, beautiful gray eyes.The girl has a beautiful neck, delicate cheekbones, and delicate lips like buds. Her steps are light and calm, and she is already a beautiful lady.

"Alpha!" The girl seemed very happy. Strangely, she seemed to know that the brain worm had returned.

"Angel!" The royal brainworm burst into tears.

That was Louis, the only daughter of Emperor Augustus and Queen Sarah. Now she was more than four years old and was the darling of the entire palace.And it's not just humans, Princess Louise can also be loved by protoss and Zerg at the same time.

The royal cerebrate was overjoyed, jumped out of the wheelchair and rushed towards Princess Louise, but bumped into an invisible wall abruptly, and immediately became dizzy.

"Dark Templar! You really linger!" As soon as the royal cerebrate showed an angry face, Louis ran over and rubbed the cerebrate's dog's head with his soft hands, and the latter immediately smiled.

"caught you!"

In the eyes of the protoss, humans are also a strange race. They are often much more innocent when they are young, but they are completely different as they grow older.

"Louis, before you know it, you've grown so big." It rubbed against Louis, making her giggle: "Time really flies, for human beings, time always flies."

Seeing Princess Louise smile, even Morales, who had a grim expression, smiled.

Louise is like a ray of sunshine, her smile always warms the heart.This also seems to have something to do with her incredible psychic talent, which can affect others when telepathy is extremely powerful.

She is favored by thousands of people and is the future of the empire, whether it is toys or playmates, there is always no shortage.

"I'm not in the palace, you must be very lonely, Louis." The cerebrate whimpered, while Princess Louis stroked it in a very adult manner.This scene is very touching.

“Lately it was Dehaka who was with the princess and it seemed like he was trying to teach a human child how to hunt essences,” Morales said.

"Dehaka? What right does that despicable primordial worm have to get close to Louis? Its brain is full of essence!" Hearing this, the cerebrate enviously bit through a statue of a golden wolf at the end of the aisle. A mouthful of sharp teeth can even chew raw larvae as a snack, and it is no problem to bite through steel.

"Louis" whispered from a distance, and everyone followed suit, bowing slightly, even the cerebrates and queens were no exception.

Empress Sarah Kerrigan, who came, had just attended a brief meeting, but instead of seeking the opinions of the participants, she ordered them directly.The decisive and ruthless image of the queen has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and no one dares to question her authority.

The majestic queen wears a white silk gown trimmed with gold trim, an elegant skirt, and a magnificent crown on her head.She came walking, and everyone could clearly see that beautiful expression.

Louis ran to his mother again, turned and hid behind her skirt.

"Alpha, you're back." Kerrigan looked at the cerebrate.

"My supreme queen!" The cerebrate immediately crawled to Kerrigan's crystal-encrusted high heels, slumped on the floor, daring not to speak.

In the past, the cerebrate didn't take Augustus seriously, purely because his spiritual power was not as strong as his own, but in front of Kerrigan, it didn't even dare to move.

"Alpha" Kerrigan pointed to the statue beside him that was bitten by the cerebrate.

"Yes." Cerebral worm is sincere and fearful.

"Fix it for me before His Majesty returns!" Kerrigan said coldly, leaving the trembling royal cerebrate to leave.
