StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

In August, the Koprulu sector was shrouded in the clouds of war.

The situation changed so quickly that people in many areas of the Tyranid Federation had not yet received the news that Tarsonis was under siege. The Terran human throne world, known as the beacon of civilization, had already fallen.

Admiral Gather Duke of the Federation High Command once said bluntly that the walls of Tarsonis' main star are so tight and impenetrable that it would be impossible for the Earthlings to conquer them even if it took 10 years. However, it took Gerald Dugar less than a month to cross the Koprulu sector and reach the federal capital, and most of that time was spent on the jump.

Even if Tarsonis fell for only a short time, the war that broke out on the planet's surface and even in geostationary orbit would have been one of the largest human civil wars to date on Koprulu. Conservative estimates suggest that the number of civilians killed in Tarsonis alone may exceed 6 million.

Gerald Dugar is indeed the most powerful general in the United Earth Council, and his efficient and fast surprise tactics are the key to his brilliant victory. Although Dugar is a typically ruthless military leader who rarely appears in public, he has become famous since the fall of Tarsonis.

Many Tyranids living in Federation lands may have never seen an Earthling army, but they must have been able to catch a glimpse of the human hand Gerald Dugar from the news and rumors that quickly spread. The thin face and hard expression became a symbol of the earth.

When mentioning the Earth and their coalition government, whether it is crystal miners working underground, farmers running private farms, or idle gangsters in bars, Dugar's tough and ruthless image will come to mind.

On colonial planets that were less influenced by Tarsonis culture, people there actually began to look forward to how Earth would rule their long-lost colonies. The distant earth should also send governors to manage the colonies. They should be nobles of noble blood.

"The Tyranids will never surrender. As long as I am alive, Earth will never realize their hegemony in the Koprulu sector! We will fight at the landing points of the Earthlings, in the fields of the countryside, and in the neighborhoods of the city."

When Augustus was riding a galaxy hopper in a hyperspace jump state to the coordinates of the peace talks scheduled with the UED expeditionary force, Arcturus Mengsk was still using his personal terminal decorated with the wolf head logo to admire Based on the speech Augustus just delivered this morning.

It was playing the scene of Augustus's speech in the Senate of Crusas. He stood among the elected senators in suits and ties looking at him from all sides. He only wore a dark blue military uniform, with a sword and a sword hanging on his waist. The pistol is a majestic weapon with an extraordinary demeanor.

Arcturus watched it over and over a dozen times. There must be nothing more satisfying to him than watching his outstanding brother steal the show.

"We will fight on Braxis, on Daela IV, on Tarsonis. On the wreckage of battleships and armor, on the ruins of bunkers and trenches, on our blood and remains, until final victory .”

"The Earth wants to enslave us, and we will never give in!"

Augustus could almost hear the shouts rising to the sky as the pro-war Crusaders chanted his name, which gave him and those around him a visceral, passionate shiver.

"This is the will of the people. The Tyranids need a leader whom everyone expects. If our army and the people are united, we can defeat all enemies." Arcturus said this for the fourth time.

Arcturus was almost certain that this 20-minute impassioned speech would cause a sensation on hundreds of planets. In any case, using nationalism to unite people from different planets and different traditions is by far the most effective method.

What a twist of fate. The former terrorist Federation traitor turned into a national hero of the Terran humans. No one paid attention to whether Augustus was a careerist who caused turmoil.

"Well done, Augustus, let those who dare not resist hear your voice and your determination. The Tyranid Federation is over, and we are the last hope of the Tyranid people." Aktur Si was sitting next to Augustus. He was wearing the military uniform of the General Staff and looked very majestic.

Arcturus is 33 years old this year and is in his prime. Less than half a month after he was transferred to the General Staff of the Revolutionary Army, he has demonstrated his seriousness, responsibility, seriousness and prudent work attitude and his talent in strategy and tactics. Won the respect of the staff officers.

If anyone thinks that Arcturus Mengsk relied on his brother's fame to get to where he is today, they are undoubtedly wrong.

"I don't want to disappoint you, Arcturus. Nine years ago, the Federation asked his people to make selfless sacrifices in the Guild War in the name of the nation, and now they have experienced the first full-scale war that swept dozens of colonies. The willingness of many colonies to resist was not as high as we imagine." Augustus was dressed in the same attire as he had worn when he spoke before Senator Crusas.

"The Federation is still hanging on, and they have not been truly eliminated."

"So what, I won't give them any chance to come back." Arcturus' face was as hard as steel, and his gray eyes that were very similar to Augustus were looking steadily at the driver's seat in front of him. Back, his gaze was so sharp that it seemed like it could kill the person sitting on the seat.

"No matter where the remnants of the Federal Council and the Creation Family hide, my sons of Korhal will find them, and then, no one will be left behind." He showed a fierce and decisive aura like a hero.

Today, the Sons of Korhal have changed from the top-ranked terrorist organization in the past to a part of the revolutionary army, but they have an independent command department and their equipment is different from the regular revolutionary army.

The Sons of Korhal, founded by Arcturus Mengsk, do not care about differences in blood, and will be absorbed into the Sons of Korhal as long as they share the Korhal's hatred of the Federation. Compared with the Revolutionary Army soldiers, their faith is more firm and unshakable, and they firmly believe that someone must pay the price for Korhal's destruction.

After transforming from an organization dedicated to sabotage, propaganda and espionage behind enemy lines into a military organization, the Sons of Korhal turned to recruit members of the Revolutionary Army who had a fanatical belief in Augustus.

——These people worshiped Augustus extremely, praised everything he said and did, and almost worshiped him like a god. That kind of fanaticism even made them lose the ability to distinguish right from wrong, so that other comrades in the revolutionary army could not understand it.

The Revolutionary High Command has always been critical of the Sons of Korhal, fearing that they would become Arcturus's personal army. The Sons of Korhal were absolutely loyal to Augustus and Mengsk behind him, but not to the revolution.

Deep down Arcturus obviously did not trust the generals under Augustus, or he never trusted others.

The size of the Sons of Korhal Legion has always been maintained between 50,000 and 55,000. There are so many people who want to join this legion that the legion has to strictly select qualified recruits.

It is undeniable that the sons of Korhal were absolutely loyal to Augustus, and they were more like his personal bodyguards.

Augustus was once worried about whether Arcturus was really preparing to bring out the Führer's stormtroopers. Later, he found that this worry was gradually becoming a reality.

"Leave no one alive? You want to execute their family members, including the old, weak, women and children." Augustus could not agree.

"Just install psychic transmitters on the planet where they are hiding." Arcturus said in surprise: "In this way, no matter how many fleets they have, it will be useless. After that, we only need to use psychic disruptors to drive away the aliens. insect."

"Let the bugs do the dirty work for us?" Augustus was not surprised by Arcturus' words. It can only be said that this is indeed a plan he can come up with.

"But even if I agree with you to do that, this matter will be exposed sooner or later just like the Federation used Zha Sara and Mar Sara to conduct zerg experiments." He shook his head and said:

"Paper cannot cover fire. If you want to be a ruler subject to the supervision of the people, then there should be as few secrets as possible."

"There are plenty of scapegoats." Arcturus shook his head: "Well, you always think there will be a better solution to a thing. But it's not better or more beneficial to you, but to others."

"But if you want to completely defeat your enemies, don't give them any chance to fight back." He suddenly remembered something.

"Speaking of little secrets, I have secretly destroyed the photos of you wearing a skirt when you were a child. Anyone who knows this must be humanely destroyed."

"This is nothing to be ashamed of." Augustus was startled at first, his eyes widened, and then argued: "Whoever didn't wear a skirt as a child, maybe this can be a good talk."

"That means you don't care." Arcturus smiled.

"Damn Arcturus! You can't do this!" Augustus was shocked and angry. No matter how many years have passed, his brother is his brother, which is as irreversible as a person's birth, old age, illness and death.

"Are you here? Bob." Arcturus turned to the shuttle pilot in the driver's seat in front of him. That was the top pilot carefully selected by Arcturus, an old nobleman of Kohal with a well-established background.

"The preset coordinates have been entered and the difference is being calculated." The shuttle pilot replied immediately.

A fiery red planet appeared on the holographic projection screen in front of Augustus. He would not forget that strange and spectacular sight even if it took another 20 years.

If Char and New Folsom were already hells on earth filled with volcanoes and magma, then this planet labeled Redstone III was even worse.

The surface of Redstone III is covered with ash-like brown-black land with alternating light and dark, and a super magma ocean that can be observed even in synchronous orbit. The area of ​​​​that ocean is almost equivalent to 1/3 of the surface of the planet, which is quite large. In 20 Korhal radiation deserts.

This planet already has extremely active geological movements today. Billions of years ago, many of its continents were thrown into the sky in one piece. Now they have become multiple giant satellites bound by gravitational fields. The satellites are The tidal effect further aggravates the frequent large-scale geological movements on the planet's surface.

The low-lying areas on the surface of Red Stone III are flooded by rising magma every few minutes, and its surface is even more dangerous than many areas in Char.

However, even such a planet is also inhabited by human colonists who immigrated here in pursuit of rich and valuable crystal mineral deposits.

In the Koprulu sector, humans are such a tenacious race. They may be easily knocked down by new diseases and appear fragile, but they can be found in the harshest corners of the universe.

"Redstone III, the territory of the Kaimorian Federation. They are sandwiched between us and the UED expeditionary force. They are considered a neutral area. - KMC can only remain neutral because they dare not speak." Kerrigan was sitting In Augustus' rear accelerator seat.

"There are hundreds of thousands of Camorian immigrants on this planet, most of them are miners with their families. When the zerg came, the Camorian Federation ignored the people here, and they could only fend for themselves."

"Red Stone Star." Augustus muttered the name.

During the Guild War, this was the focus of competition between the Tyranid Federation and the Kaimorian Federation. Long before the Tyranids intervened, the Kaimorian family-style mining guilds on Redstone Star were competing for the resources here and were constantly fighting among themselves. Fights between guilds were also common.

The Red Stone Star is truly a battleground, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is gold everywhere. The Kaimorians are known as the mineral locusts in the universe. Their planetary diggers and guild joint mining machines plunder enough resources every minute to fill the Antiga Starport, and they can dig three dimensions in the Kaimorian Mining Guild. The mining operations that have flourished on the planet for years are pretty amazing.

This does not mean that resources with extremely harsh environments must be very abundant. Only under this premise can the value of the resources far exceed the risks of exploitation and become a human colony.

It was beyond many people's expectations that the Camorians were able to keep this land after their defeat in the war, but at that time the Federation, which had almost captured all the mining planets, was really in a state of poverty.

The directors on the conglomerate board and their executives will say, what more can you take away? Just take my life too!

The Terran Confederacy wouldn't mind taking the lives of the Kaimorians, but then they wouldn't make any money.

This location was selected through mutual discussion between the two parties, because there is neither a large-scale revolutionary army nor a UED expeditionary force stationed here.

Even so, coming here for the meeting means that the personnel sent by Augustus and UED must take many risks, because no one can be sure whether this is a Hongmen Banquet.

The UED expeditionary force sent their second-in-command Lieutenant General Alexey Stukov. Augustus should have sent a general of the same level to participate, such as Jim Reno.

But Augustus was determined to meet Lieutenant General Stukov personally.
