StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Korhal Revolutionary Army Territory, Crusas Guard III.

"Very good, now the Terra family has truly become our everlasting ally. Except for hoping that my revolutionary army can take back the Terra family's property in Tarsonis, Annabelle Terra can no longer find to other reliable people.”

The proud Marshal of the Revolutionary Army, Augustus Mengsk, was walking out of a luxuriously decorated single-family villa, followed closely by Sarah Kerrigan, who looked angry.

This villa is located in the city of New Babylon. It once belonged to a certain Crusatian mining company president. He fled here with his family after the revolutionary army arrived on the planet.

Afterwards, someone reported to the Provisional Government of the Revolutionary Army that he had illegally plundered the Crusatus xenon crystal deposits and forcibly occupied local farmers' land to build factories. Subsequently, Arcturus Mengsk ordered people to seize his property. All assets are prepared for auction to compensate the residents of the area.

Augustus temporarily housed members of the Terra family here and funded its upkeep.

Kerrigan wore a well-tailored black suit jacket, lined with a beautiful white silk shirt, a dark blue skirt suit and squelching high heels, with red hair flowing behind her.

With a pair of glasses, Kerrigan transforms into a sexually aware librarian.

"This is indeed an inspiring shot in the arm for the revolutionary army - why are you running?" As she was talking to Augustus who was walking in front, Kerrigan caught up with him in two or three steps. Even though she was wearing high heels, she was still walking fast.

Before meeting Augustus, Kerrigan, who had been a federal ghost agent, was not used to high heels that were not conducive to movement, but it only took her a short time to get used to them.

"Stop!" She stamped her feet.

"Stop!"

"I'm just in a hurry." Augustus was wearing the uniform of a revolutionary army general, with the Mengsk family's sword hanging on his waist.

"The General Staff told me that they wanted to seek my opinion on the drafting of general mobilization orders for each territory."

"Okay." Kerrigan seemed to accept Augustus's words, but as a mind reader, she was by no means easy to fool: "Do you think I'm still angry? I'm just a frivolous person. Tarsonis Bitch. This Bitch, the one who started hooking up with handsome young men right after her husband died."

Kerrigan was talking about Annabella Terra, the legitimate wife of Constantine, the head of the Terra family. Today Annabelle rushed to Crusus from the planet where she was, bringing with her the full support of the Terra family.

The Terra family has an undisputed monopoly in many industries in the Tyranid Federation. They dominate everything in the fields of robot servants and virtual images, including research and development, manufacturing, supply and sales of manufacturing raw materials, and almost all industry competitors. and related companies have been included in the Terra family for a long time.

This allowed the Terra family to accumulate unimaginable wealth - the Mengsk family was just the rulers of one planet, Korhal IV, and their power could hardly affect other planets, while the Terra family's influence spread throughout the Federation.

The Terra family has accumulated enough wealth for two hundred years to support this raging revolution. They are one of the de facto masters of Tarsonis. Just throwing out the liquidity flow on hand is enough to cause an uproar on the Federation's stock exchange.

And this is why Angus Mengsk was accused by the Federation Council of being a careerist. The Creation Family has divided and dominated all aspects of the Federation world. It is really difficult for rising stars in local colonies like the Mengsk family to get involved in a completely monopolized industry. They can only use the name of revolution to overturn everything and redistribute the benefits.

Not only in Tarsonis, the Terran family's industries are spread throughout the Tyranid Federation, and their products have a subtle impact on the lives of the Tyranid people.

Take the Tyra Family's Terrador III combine harvester manufacturing factory as an example. After modification, the production line in the factory can produce components for improved arc tanks, sidewinder tanks, and mobile electromagnetic guns.

There are even many unexploited crystal mines and high-energy gas deposits under the name of the Terra family, and they were all donated to the Revolutionary Army and Augustus himself in Annabella, including even an entire planet. .

"Annabella is now the actual controller of the Terra family. She is an extremely capable person. She was able to regain the firm control of the Terra family in such a short period of time." Augustus insisted. Scalp complimented Annabelle.

Many people, including Augustus, had always thought that Annabella was a woman with a wild nature, the kind of woman who was used to spending most of her life dressing up, buying jewelry and attending the opera. lady, but not really.

"Yes, but this is not a conflict. She can actually say such things, it is simply shameless!" Kerrigan had veins popping out on her head: "Why is Constantine already dead, and she remarries you? Tai The Ra family and the Mengsk family can legitimately unite."

"Annabella is such a funny woman," Augustus lied.

Most importantly, Kerrigan knew that Annabelle was telling the truth.

To be honest, Kerrigan didn't think he was the most irreplaceable person around Augustus. The Terra family has something that Kerrigan does not have, and that is the support from a large family.

Annabella Terra was right, as long as Augustus married her, he would be able to control the Terra family.

"God knows what she thinks?" Augustus couldn't laugh or cry: "Annabella Terra is old enough to be my mother, but I recommended a suitable candidate to her, and that is my father Angus. "

"Thank you for saying it." Kerrigan knew that this was just a joke from Augustus. This guy would often bury his old father. Maybe he always had a grudge against Angus.

But it has to be said that Kerrigan was amused.

"Mother must not know about this." Augustus spread his hands, thinking that this matter was finally over.

This is a telepath. It is difficult for you to truly enter their inner world after they have a complete and sound world view. Psychics understand human nature better than most philosophers and thinkers.

Having a girlfriend who can read minds is a hard thing, especially now that Augustus is so popular.

At this time, Augustus heard someone calling his name from behind, and when he turned around, he saw Annabella's eldest daughter Clara and her youngest daughter Nova walking quickly towards this side.

Next to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor of the villa, a lady wearing a black shawl, a box-shaped short coat and a blue knee-length skirt and a young man in a suit were sitting at the dining table and looking at Austria with a smile. Gustus.

This is a three-story Baroque palace-style building with symmetrical wide porches, steps and light blue domes. The harmonious diagonals and dignified decoration create a unique sense of solemnity.

In fact, the meal lasted only half an hour and ended in a hurry. Augustus and Annabella barely ate a bite and just talked about business while sipping the high-end red wine produced in Tarsonis. Let’s talk clearly about how the Terra family will support the revolutionary army next.

Annabella was a very smart person, and she did not ask for any support in exchange for Augustus's time with her.

"Mom still has something to give you." Annabelle's youngest daughter Nova handed Augustus a small blue box with a blushing face.

Augustus had no way of knowing what was there because Kerrigan had already grabbed it and crushed it. Kerrigan was as powerful as a chariot engine, and she could easily lift a man in a suit. Marines in power armor.

"." Nova was suddenly stunned.

"Wow -" Clara on the side covered her red lips in surprise, not knowing what she was thinking.

"What is that?" asked Augustus.

"A bottle of perfume is usually a sex toy used to make men fascinated. How can this Bichi let her daughter give such a thing." Kerrigan replied through gritted teeth.

Although in Kerrigan's mind, she has equated the women of the Terra family with the secretive Bichi, her attitude towards Nova is still quite good. It seems that the women in this family are keen on being mistresses.

"Wow." Augustus spread his hands.

"Go back, Nova." He also called her by her nickname like a family member: "Tell your mother that I may not be able to accept her gift because it is broken."

Nova Terra cannot be ignored by Augustus. She has been confirmed to be a level 10 psyker of the same level as Sacco Angelini. Augustus was lucky, this is another golden legend.

Now Nova Terra is learning how to control psychic powers from Sacco Angelini and Sarah Kerrigan, the former of whom opened a school full of psyker children from the Revolution in Crusas. All the planets controlled by the army, and the latter occasionally taught Nova some tricks, but they were some things that could kill people.

Nova was absorbing knowledge about psychic powers at a rapid rate, and her talent even attracted the attention of a Protoss Dark Templar Master who secretly followed and protected Augustus.

Augustus had no doubt that Nova would become a psychic master in the future.

"Okay." Nova obviously knew what was inside.

When Augustus looked up, Annabelle was looking at him with a smile. Annabelle has dark-red hair that is neatly combed back. She maintains it very well, and she smiles with the calmness of a mature woman.

Annabelle is the current controller of the Terra Consortium and one of the people at the pinnacle of power in the Terran Federation. Although Tarsonis is deeply surrounded by the UED expeditionary force, House Terra is still a loyal ally worthy of Augustus' attention.

At this time, Faraday, Captain of the Augustus Guard, had already driven in an armored vehicle, and dozens of Guard soldiers were standing guard on the main road in front of the villa. In a place where no one can see, there are twelve ghost agents and at least two Zerate dark masters secretly protecting him.

Augustus didn't know how many Dark Templar warriors were around him, he only knew that they must be there.

These silent Dark Templar Masters had little desire to communicate with Augustus, and they communicated with Augustus only on rare occasions to warn of attempts to assassinate him. No one knows what these protoss are doing in the dark. They may be reading Xel'Naga literature or playing cards.

"Let's go." Augustus greeted Clara and Nova and stepped onto Faraday's armored car.

"Annabella is a very shrewd person. She openly supports the revolutionary army, so that in the future I will not be able to uproot them like I did with other founding families." Augustus said to Kerrigan who followed him from his seat.

"For two family consortiums, merger can maintain greater power and easily win more wealth." He said.

"The Terra family's factories on other planets are continuously providing us with various materials and supplies, and even soldiers."

"Like the Terra family, the Hot family also sent family members to seek asylum from the Revolutionary Army. They have lost confidence in the military power of the Federation." Kerrigan said: "Not only that, people like Kusinis and Blue Buck’s family, which is as powerful as the Terra family, is also trying to contact us.”

"They also evacuated Tarsonis early?" Augustus asked.

"It seems so," Kerrigan said. "If it were a swarm attacking Tarsonis, they would have no chance of escaping in the vast sea of ​​​​worms."

The armored vehicle drove along a trail across the mainland and entered the urban area of ​​New Babylon.

This city of high-rise buildings is still full of vitality, and there are endless people on the highway. The holographic projection screens and propaganda boats above the city are reporting news from the Revolutionary Army TV station, and a host is telling the story of General Lundstein's victory on the planet Victoire.

Recruitment posters of the Revolutionary Army can be seen on the streets, and the election of Crusa's new Senate members is about to be put on the agenda.

New Babylon was a prosperous metropolis, even rivaling Stirling in Korhar, the hometown of Augustus. Thousands of people are busy with this life on the streets of New Babylon, and it seems that the war has not affected them.

When the Revolutionary Army first took over Crusas, the big local businessmen tried to make a fortune by hoarding goods, and prices skyrocketed. But now those people have been sent to New Fortress by soldiers sent by Arcturus Mengsk. Pine prison.

In the past few days, old Confederacy supporters could still be seen gathering furtively in the streets, but now they have disappeared. That's because the revolutionary military government vigorously and resolutely installed cameras on various roads to retrieve videos of various neighborhoods, making it impossible to hide fights and even any criminal behavior.

As early as centuries ago, the Earth had been using surveillance to detect traffic violations or as an auxiliary method for tracking criminal suspects, but few people in the Koprulu sector thought of this.

In the most prosperous areas of New Babylon, military police with mechanical police dogs can be patrolled everywhere - the mechanical police dogs were designed by Victor Kaczynski and use advanced Umoyan AI technology.

As the armored vehicle drove through the city center, Augustus suddenly received news from the Revolutionary Army Security Department. The news was concise and to the point: they had confirmed the fall of Tarsonis, and the UED forces were launching an attack on the core world around Tarsonis.

"Tarthonis has fallen." Kerrigan also saw the news.

"What do we do now?"

"Gather my generals," said Augustus.

"immediately."
