Chapter 724 Cruel+
It has been a month since the battle of the Torrenis galaxy. Around the outposts, mining stations and colonial planets, the Tyranid Empire army has fought hundreds of large and small battles on the route of the gold fleet, but Still can't stop them from moving on.

Empire worlds fell one after another, and half of the Koprulu sector fell into a protracted war. Human beings were shrouded in boundless darkness and fear.

If that's not enough to make people feel hopeless, this time with the arrival of the Protoss, there is also an overwhelming army of insect swarms.

The great Tyrannian Empire of Emperor Augustus has fallen into a desperate situation, and the truth is far more bloody than what the media has reported.The golden fleet and the dominator swarm are constantly harvesting the life in the Koprulu sector, and hundreds of millions of people have been massacred.

The imperial army suffered heavy losses and suffered heavy losses. Some troops who were fighting bloody battles on the front line were severely reduced, so that the speed of replenishment could not keep up with the losses.The famous and respected battleships of the past disappeared one after another into the uninhabited deep space, and there were very few survivors. They could only piece together their fragmented fate from the last captain's report.

The Tyranid Empire was held below the surface of the water like a person about to drown, and every sip of water that choked in accelerated the process of death.

At this point in time at the end of August in 2503, the Golden Fleet finally arrived at the Helioc III star (Helioc III), which meant that they had penetrated deep into the territory of the Tyrann Empire and were about to enter the scope of the core world.

As the capital of the Helioc star field and the fortress in the northern border of the Tyrannian Empire, the imperial army assembled here must not allow the Heliok III to be handed over to others.

The human race of Tyrannosaurus settled in the water source and has a history of multiplying for more than 100 years.Since many human worlds in the Koprulu star area gradually established waterways and communicated with each other, this place has become a famous tourist destination. Every year, a large number of tourists flock here to enjoy the beautiful scenery and the rare treasures that live here. Alien beast.

However, rich mining resources have also brought unexpected disputes and conflicts to the world. Large-scale armed conflicts and even the use of tactical nuclear bombs once made the precious oasis resources face the dilemma of depletion.

All of this was effectively contained after the Tyranid Empire regained control of the world, and the military camp established here was enough to deter all illegal mining groups and young people among the stars who coveted the natural resources of Heliok.

Today, Helioc has been revived with excellent governance. It has been twice rated as the most livable planet in the empire by UNN News Today, and the most shining jewel in the crown of Emperor Augustus.

Although the host Golenko (Golenko) selects almost once a week, even Ma Sara was once on the list, which of course has nothing to do with inextricable political factors.Calculated in this way, there are too many pearls on the emperor's crown, enough to break his neck, so he didn't wear it even once.

When the war was approaching, it was daytime in the administrative district of Watering Hole, where the Governor's Mansion of the Heliok Empire was located. The fist-sized sun in the sky was emitting hot rays of light. The grass was growing vigorously, the grass was green, and the trees were tall and straight. , the best time of the day has come.

Pearl-like springs and lakes are inlaid in the desert, dotted with continuous beautiful oases.The gem-like river is like a clean jade belt, with beautiful fields on both sides.

Gusts of wind blow across the green fields with rolling wheat waves, and there are many fluffs with water vapor floating in the air, filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants.The palm groves are straight and straight, and the sky is as blue as water.

Looking around, the numerous crystal veins exposed on the surface form majestic blue mountains. Only the most talented painters can paint such colorful colors.

In the afternoon, the 7th Division, 29th Division, 143rd Armored Brigade of the Imperial Marine Corps and the two heavy artillery battalions temporarily incorporated into this combat sequence arrived in New Richmond, the largest oasis city in the Water Colony, by transport ship and airdrop pod. ).

At this time, New Richmond was already an empty city, and the soldiers were greeted only by a few 2000-type automatic cleaning robots and beautiful natural scenery on the street.All the buildings have their doors and windows closed, sealed with boards and nails, and the roads and commanding heights have long been cleared to make room for the construction of bunkers, automatic machine guns, and heavy firepower points.

In addition, New Richmond still retains its appearance before the war. The neat streets and squares are filled with golden light, the white onion-top buildings are shining in the sun, and the masonry-repaired waterways pass through the city. It is a colorful jellyfish-like aquatic creature.

Even the large promotional posters used to attract tourists before the war have not been removed. It says Helioc welcomes you, but it must not include zerg and protoss.

In downtown New Richmond, an extremely wealthy mega-corporate businessman left an entire building full of supplies for incoming Imperial soldiers to pick up.This may be out of patriotism, or it may be to earn fame. He thought very well, but none of the soldiers who were bound by strict military discipline entered in the end.

The platoon of Second Lieutenant Easter Foss belongs to the 7th Marine Division. This is a veteran unit that has been established since the Revolutionary Army era. Their landing point is in the northern city of New Richmond, and it is already close to the outskirts of the city.

Outside the city are flat and wide fields, and the crops inside are growing very well. The growing sunshine and abundant rain in early summer make the vegetation start to grow wildly.The through road divides the fields into a regular grid, and at the end of the road are parked several large multi-purpose combines with bright red imperial flags fluttering in the wind.

There are many small, well-organized towns and villages outside of New Richmond, most of which have been abandoned, but the furniture that cannot be taken away in the houses is neatly packed, as if it were the It is believed that one day they will be able to return here again.

It's beautiful here, and it reminds Easter of his hometown of Helsingne, and of his family.

His sister's child was due to be born, a boy.The child is also named Easter, and the family hopes that he will be as brave as his uncle.Easter longed to live to the end of the war and see that child with his own eyes. Every time he thought of this, he wanted to cry.

"Daniel, you've seen real zergs. They will insert their ovipositors into your esophagus to lay eggs. After a few days, the parasites will burst out of your chest."

"Be careful, the protoss will chop off your head if you are negligent!"

Soldiers in the Easter platoon are standing in line outside the New Richmond Railway Station waiting for the next train to arrive. The previous maglev train has just departed from here. The compartments are full of Zeus tanks and Sidewinder heavy tanks. There are also several companies of Reapers sitting.

New Richmond is a beautiful city, but it doesn't even have a decent wall.In the past few months, the Imperial Engineering Corps has built a number of planetary fortresses near the city, connecting them with bunkers, doomsday forts, electrified barbed wire, induction towers and other facilities.

But Easter knew in his heart that no matter how strong these fortifications were, they might not be able to last long under the indiscriminate bombardment of the protoss and the flood of the swarm's carapace. There will be a traffic jam.

The only reassuring thing is that the support force includes General Prior's fleet, which is more useful than any guarantee.

"I haven't fought against the protoss, but I heard that they have burned hundreds of planets along the way. Since they can solve the battle in high-altitude orbit, why do they have to come down and play with us?" Millie is a new soldier. Even so, during the months of serving under Isther, he has participated in many battles against the swarm, the worst of which was on the planet Tartaros.

During the campaign, their brigade was twice reduced to one-third in strength, so that the subsequent replacements were recruits.Easter remembered those men, from Antiga Prime and Tarsonis, young, strong and powerful, and above all full of vigor and vigor that the veterans lacked.

Many of them die in their first battle, and death, blood, and zerg transform new recruits into true warriors in the shortest possible time.Watching those once vibrant faces just fall down like that, it's really heartbreaking.

Easter believes that after experiencing life and death, if it does not cause a mental breakdown, people always have to grow.

In the face of the terrifying Tiamat swarm, the Imperial Army lost at least 30 people and injured many more.In that battle, the Imperial Fleet and the Swarm Fleet almost lost both sides. The supporting Imperial Fleet was either wiped out or stopped halfway by the Leviathan Swarm.

The fighting on the ground lasted more than a month.After the loss of heavy weapons and aircraft, they fought like humans in the two world wars of the twentieth century, fighting bloody battles on isolated islands separated by swarms, until a pilgrimage of the Ihanli Protoss The fleet jumps in.

After that battle, among those who survived to the end, even recruits who had just joined the army were eligible to be called veterans.

Easter still remembered that war, the battlefield even went deep underground, and the swarm polluted the planet with creep and virus weapons.They were able to call in air support at first, but later they had to save even their bullets.There is a fully automated production line for the production of bullets in the barracks, but there are no raw materials, and it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice.

During the Second Tartarus War, Ister never returned to his bunk in the barracks, never took off his power armor, and when he opened his eyes, he pulled out of the trench and shot, forward It can be seen that there are thousands of corpses on the battlefield.

The air smelled sickly of intestines and raw meat.Anyone who has lived through war would not describe it in the word romantic.

After that, Easter probably really understood why he always talked about seeing the marines coming out of the barracks, but no one saw them going back.

"There are no absolutes." Easter has been in the army no longer than Milley, and his experience in the Stilling Military Academy allowed him to become a second lieutenant immediately after graduation, but the latter is even older than him : "Heliok has a large number of Yermungandr nests, and the protoss will not destroy this planet together with its friendly forces."

These words are somewhat magical, even if those protoss are killed, they will not admit that the Zerg are their allies.But since the Protoss and the Zerg are now obeying Amon's orders, this has actually come true.

"Besides, our fleet is still fighting the Protoss and Zerg fleets in orbit, and the people of Omega Squadron are crazy when they fight."

"I have to say, this matter is not good."

William was a marauder veteran who had been arrested for theft, fraud, and smuggling, and spent several years in prison, but not enough to send him to the notorious New Folsom.Later, Princess Charlotte was born, and the royal family "amnesty the world", so he was sent to the military camp.

What kind of amnesty is this?

Since then, although he has made many military exploits during the war, he is still only a corporal because of many violations of discipline.But this guy should feel lucky. In the past, he would have been transformed into a resocialized soldier by the old federation just by stretching his dirty hands.

There was a resocialized soldier in this platoon. Easter didn't know what crimes he had committed, but the veterans around him believed that he was a rapist and a pedophile.

To say the least, criminals were much better off in the Age of Empires, usually only the unforgivable were sent to a resocialization factory, a place you absolutely wanted your enemies to go, where life would be worse die.

Smaller resocialization facilities are also used in some barracks, where deserters and serious infractions are dealt with.

"In Ash'Arak, they blasted their own people into the sky!" William said: "Ash'Arak is the former colony of the Protoss Empire, and those crazy beasts really don't recognize their relatives."

"Millions of protoss are dead, which is a heavy blow to their group." Theodore also said in the public channel.A former teacher, he was drafted into the army as a reserve in times of emergency.

"It's also true for us." Easter had heard about the Battle of Ash Arak. Not only did the gold fleet destroy the entire colony, but even the landing troops he sent were burned to ashes. It can only be described as crazy.

If it happened in the human army, it would be enough to cause a large-scale mutiny among low-level non-commissioned officers and soldiers, but those protoss are already crazy, and they cannot use normal thinking to speculate on lunatics. They will pull your intelligence to the same level.

Easter knew that some races in the protoss were still on their side, such as the dark templar.A powerful Dark Templar aided Istrel's forces during the battle of Rotos II.

It was a ranger like Robin Hood, and Easter admitted that it was really cool when the other party slashed at the Zerg with a curved light blade.

The 7th Division did not encounter the armies of the Mechanized Protoss, but their fraternal forces had been aided by them.Those Purifier protoss were as cruel as they were in life, but their thinking was not much different from ordinary protoss.

Mechanic Michael of the platoon believed that the Purifiers had written into the underlying code the priority of supporting human armies on the battlefield, even before their Templar brethren.Having said that, the Purifier shouldn't need to write code.

"How many people do we have to die this time?" Zeletar snorted coldly at this moment: "The superiors are sending us to die, but they are squandering and enjoying themselves in the rear."

Zeretta was a thorn in the side, a character that really gave Easter a headache.In the barracks, except for playing cards, he could hardly do anything well, but on the battlefield, he always survived to the end.

This guy is always talking badly, but he can give you a hand in life and death.

People are always so contradictory.

"Every game with the zerg and the protoss was like dying, but we had no choice," Easter said.

Soon, Easter and his soldiers boarded the car and took advantage of the roaring armored train to the front line.

A city-like interstellar base (Star base, upgraded from Starport) is hovering over New Richmond under the propeller lift, and fighter planes are constantly taking off from it.

The dense fleet of Banshee bombers in the sky is passing by at high speed. These Banshees fly very low, their engines rumble, and the rocket boosters at the tail make them look like phoenixes with long red tails.

The train travels through lush oases, fields and palm groves.Gorgeous native birds sing in the woods and clumps of flowers bloom.

 In the past few days, I finally slept well and recovered my strength.

  Some people say I deal with it as soon as it's over, but that's not the case, neither will it be over soon, nor do I want to inject water.You all know that this is how I write when you see it now. If you think that I only write a chapter every few days, the quality will be high. In fact, I can’t do it.

  I wanted to really write every chapter well, but I ended up with a problem with my mentality. Every time I felt that I couldn’t read the writing, I was in a hurry, and then I didn’t sleep very well, and I was very broken.

  This is the truth, and it is also an excuse for me to write badly. Now that I think about it, the more I can't sleep well, the more I feel that the writing must be bad. I still have a problem with my brain after a long time.Let’s just write as we used to, no matter how much it is.
