StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

"Look, look at me chewing gum and kicking their butts at the same time!"

Tychus drove the incomparable Odin mecha over the zerg under his feet, stepping on the broken carapace and huge hot bullet casings. He felt like the true king of the gods, invincible and invincible. Blockable!

There was no one else on Odin's comm channel, but Tychus would croak with joy whenever he entered the battlefield. Egon Stetman also talks to himself in front of people, and even if no one listens, Tychus talks nonsense on the battlefield.

This is a vast and vast plain, with only slightly higher mounds on all sides. The weather was clear at this time, and you could see far away at a glance.

He saw a large swarm of insects coming towards him from the display screen. It was as thick as a moving brown blanket and as fast as a strange wind blowing over. Springtails, banelings, cockroaches and The sharply angular carapace on the back of the Hydralisk resembles a silver-purple torrent in the blue-gray desolate land of Talon VII.

If you sit in Odin's cockpit and look down, both the zerg and the nearby Imperial Marine fire support team look like little ants on the ground. Odin is a moving steel fortress, and being on it is no different than standing on a skyscraper and looking down at the ground.

There is an abandoned missile tower in front, which may have been left by the Talon militia. It is now dilapidated, leaving only the bare tower body.

With the missile tower as the center, the four giant cannons on Odin's back opened fire. Balls of hot and shining flames exploded in the center of the insect swarm, and everything in the path of the cannonballs was wiped out.

It was an apocalyptic scene, a sea of ​​flames set off by screaming shells and deadly explosions. The whistling and thunderous roar of artillery shells continued one after another, dense rain of debris fell from the sky, and the air was filled with pungent smoke and the smell of meat.

Odin brought about earth-shattering destruction in a short period of time.

It seemed like a thousand earth-shattering cannons were firing at the same time. The saturated fire bombing cleared a large area of ​​​​emptiness in front of Odin, and a layer of the land was peeled off.

"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta! Hahahaha!" Tychus was intoxicated by the bloodshed caused by Odin's violent firepower. It seemed that only at this time was he the freest and could forget all the troubles in the world.

"Die, die!"

When the world calmed down again, the entire area had literally been reduced to dust. Flames burned in the dense craters, like the gates of hell.

The originally dense swarm of insects on Tychus's screen was immediately cleared away, and those who managed to escape were crushed to pieces by Odin's giant walking feet. He privately called this "big cannon fire". So far, no enemy or building has been able to withstand tons of cannonballs.

"Is it good enough? But it's not over yet!"

In the face of such shocking firepower, even the arrogant insect swarm will be wiped out.

Tychus was also very satisfied with this, and was once again glad that he had made the right decision.

The old boy laughed out loud and estimated that he might have razed thousands of bugs or more at once. Odin's biosignal scan showed that more zerg were still surrounding him.

"This thing will do more harm to you than to me~"

This is Odin! There are only double-digit Odin mechas in the entire Tyran Empire, and most of them are replaced by Thor mechas that are cheaper and easier to cast.

Odin was expensive to build and was the favorite of Emperor Augustus, so his power was certainly worthy of his fame. Those who are qualified to drive these overweight siege weapons are the best pilots, because their number is much smaller than that of Viking pilots.

Naturally, Tychus, as the first Odin pilot, also thrived on the front lines of the Sky High Emperor. People like him can get along anywhere.

The reason why Tychus let go of the leisurely early retirement life of a palace janitor and insisted on coming to the front line as an Odin pilot was mainly because the emperor was not easy to sneak around. Originally, this guy's favorite thing to do was to do dark things under the lamp, but he couldn't stand it because the emperor had a group of elusive ghost agents.

In his words, when you go out to shoot a cannon, there must be someone recording, observing, and analyzing next to you.

Another reason is that Odin pilots are treated extremely well and can enjoy various special treatments, loose rules and regulations, loose handling of violations, etc. This was simply tailor-made for Tychus by Emperor Augustus, and there was no room for him not to get into it.

Also, Tychus really likes Odin. A real man should drive Odin, and a man should do what a man should do.

"The life signal of the zerg has been detected. They are gathering in large numbers and preparing to launch a new round of offensive." But before Tychus could be happy for a while, Odin's own mechanical adjutant sounded the alarm.

"Why isn't it over yet?" Tychus noticed this warning. He had known that there were so many bugs in Talon, but he didn't expect that the first battle of the landing would be so fierce. This is related to the combat styles of different cerebrates. If the cerebrate commanding this swarm is Sass of the Gamu swarm, then he will choose to let the imperial troops land and then annihilate them one by one as they advance separately.

But Jormungandr's Yak is different. It likes to strike half way across.

Tychus had killed enough bugs, but not enough to damage the monsters. The insect swarm operates on the premise that the group acts as a whole. They don't care about individual casualties, only focusing on gains and losses.

After a while, more zerg appeared, and they soon covered the horizon. These monsters covered with spikes and chitinous carapace always make a rustling sound when they move on the ground, just like the swarms of mosquitoes that cover the sky in the sultry summer. Just hearing the sound makes people unconsciously feel... anxious.

The bugs that continued to arrive on the battlefield did not give up the attack. They hesitated for a moment, but that was not because of fear. It was just that the brain bugs who were directing the war were assessing the situation.

Although Odin has amazing firepower, its cannonballs are not endless. The ammunition consumed by a large cannon fire must be replenished. In other words, it is now time for the insect swarm to take action.

The brainworm may hesitate, but once he makes up his mind, he will not waver. The buzzing swarm of insects began to move again, and many big ones appeared on the ground. Tunnel worms also roared and burst out of the ground. From a distance, they looked like a hill with insect eyes.

The Hydralisk and Ultralisk that appeared during the Second Total War were larger than those before Brood War, with thicker chitin armor and sharper spikes. Odin is not afraid of the Thunder Beast, but the number of Jormungandr insect swarms is so large that even behemoths like the Thunder Beast appear in groups.

There may be more cunning creatures mixed in, such as scorpions, which are gradually fading from the stage of history but still play an important role in the swarm.

Fortunately, while Odin was clearing the battlefield, the landed Imperial Marines gathered again. Tychus's task was to clear a landing area for the subsequent landing troops and cover the leading troops who lacked fire support points to gain a foothold.

An Imperial Marine officer planted a black and gold Imperial flag on a hill at Odin's feet. Hundreds of Marines, medics, fire bats and marauders gathered into a stream of people. He quickly moved to the fighting position.

At the same time, airdrop pods continued to land on the surface of Talon, bringing more mechas and tanks to the Imperial army on the ground, while the Imperial Engineer Corps driving space engineering vehicles built defenses amidst a hail of bullets. Each company and even platoon carried a flag, and these flags were erected to form a long line on the ground.

Tychus drove Odin to stay in place, using the T800 cannon mounted on both arms to provide strong support for the ground troops.

The first siege tank appeared in Tychus's sight. It was much larger than the marines, but it was just a slightly larger toy in front of Odin.

Now that there is the first one, it is only a matter of time before more siege tanks appear. Not counting other models, the empire has airdropped at least two thousand bone-cutting siege tanks in this region alone.

Hundreds of siege tanks turned their tracks amidst the roar of their engines, rolling over the broken carapace of the zerg. They rotated neatly in place, with the main axis rotating outward, the secondary rails retracting into the body, and the hydraulic outer supports deployed from both sides and anchored firmly to the ground.

The unfolded 180mm concussion cannon opened fire immediately, and the shells fell densely like rain on the incoming insect swarm, beating their skin and flesh to pieces. This new type of siege tank has strong firepower and can provide strong support to the infantry. Barring the occasional accidental damage to friendly forces, a siege tank would be almost flawless.

Of course, for tankers they are perfect.

"You fought well, but you have to train for two more years to catch up with me." Tychus knew those tank drivers: loud, hot-tempered, stubborn but straightforward enough, he would never wait until the next second if he said he wanted to beat you. Usually they are.

Having said that, Tychus did not dare to speak out loud on the armored division's channel. Although he is bold, he is not stupid.

Especially the woman known as Sergeant Hammer, Tychus really realized from her what it is like to be unable to touch a tiger's butt. It's just that this old gangster's little hands were a little dirty, and a super-high-temperature tungsten bullet landed at his feet. That was probably the closest this guy came to death.

At this time, the Marines also opened fire, mainly the iconic clicking sound of the C-14 Gauss rifle, but other weapons were also used, including howitzers, flamethrowers, hail rocket launchers, and individual rail guns. , cluster bombs and plasma weapons, the trajectories of various weapons dominate the entire battlefield.

The troops that arrive first are all aces, or at least veteran troops, and are equipped with the best weapons.

In other words, those who have been able to survive to this day are all capable. From the outbreak of the war to the present, I don’t know how many divisions have been beaten to pieces. The insect swarm in front of the Tyranid Empire is almost the same as it was in its heyday four years ago, and even the Protoss Empire will shed its skin when it encounters it.

If Emperor Augustus Mengsk hadn't vigorously developed armaments against all objections, the Terran Empire and even the humans in the Koprulu Sector would have become history.

Although the Mengsk family have dirty hearts, they always see things like this very accurately. Augustus knew that the swarms would come back, so he waited for them every day. If it were the pigs of the old federation, they would have abandoned their armor.

But even so, the Tyranid Empire could only barely resist the swarm's offensive.

The Tyranid Empire nearly lost the Talon System, but now Grand Admiral Horace Warfield is determined to reclaim it from the clutches of the Swarm. Only when it is irreversible will the empire dispatch its fleet to destroy everything on the planet.

The Empire and the Insects fought fiercely to compete for these worlds, and the beautiful new worlds that were once prosperous and rich became devastated one by one. Tychus knew that the dog emperor in the Augustgrad Palace was terribly distressed by this. The Zerg did not care about the damage caused to the planet by the war, but humans could not. The empire needed the resources, factories and population of the colonies.

It doesn't matter if a group of robbers break into your house and smash it until it collapses, they won't be able to live in it anyway.

"Sergeant Major Finley, we need to deal with that Thunder Beast! It's heading towards you!" At this moment, the voice of the landing force commander suddenly came from the channel.

Tychus's actual level is very high, and ordinary commanders can't even use him.

"Okay." Tychus replied again, always with a bit of arrogance in his tone, as if he was dealing with a fool: "The people below, give way to the big guy."

When Odin moved, the ground seemed to be shaking, and the marines below could only look up at this steel giant walking on the earth.

Tychus crushed all enemies in his way with unstoppable force, crushing them like ants. He faced the roaring thunder beast and fired two cannons at its head. This behemoth had almost no shortcomings except for the lack of armor for its eyes. I don't care about fighting so much. I'm just throwing lime on my eyes. It's useless.

The T800 cannon can destroy a tank in two hits, and the Thunder Beast will not survive even after a few hits, and his head will be blown open. It wailed, the roar was deafening, and after a moment it took a few steps back.

Tychus, on the other hand, took advantage of the situation and fired continuously at the injured parts of the Ultralisk, hoping to kill it directly.

But just when Tychus focused his attention on the Ultralisk, huge force came from Odin's feet, even shaking this extremely heavy mecha.

An extremely huge super beast broke out of the ground. It had a scorpion-like body and an upright body. It looked somewhere between a springtail and a hydralisk. In other words, this monster had many other insect species on its body. feature.

It is so brutal and violent that even the Ultralisk dwarfs it in size and strength.

As soon as it appeared, it sprayed a mouthful of deadly acid into Odin's cockpit, and a terrible plume of white smoke immediately rose from the latter's thick armor and cockpit glass.

"A powerful biological signature of a wild beast, the largest ground creature in the history of the Zerg."

"My mother!" The distance was too close, and Tychus opened fire at the beast that was almost within arm's reach, regardless of the risk of close range shooting.

"What have you been doing?"

He almost couldn't catch his breath, and was stabbed in the back by Blizzard again.

Huang Xudong, your breast milk is good, no matter how bad you are, that's all.
