StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

"The scavenger pirates deserve their crimes." Dr. Narud immediately said: "No one in this world has more power to judge their crimes than you!"

He said with righteous indignation, as a group of Tyranid Empire Wolf-helmed Royal Marines led a dozen ragged pirates from a distance away from the steps.

These pirates looked extremely miserable, haggard and skinny. I am afraid that even the beggars and tramps in Augustgrad lived a much more respectable life than they did. It was a group of people starved out of shape due to lack of food, so hungry that they seemed to be able to eat their own arms.

Augustus looked in that direction and saw the leader of the scavenger pirates, Allan Scherzal. Although he is already so skinny that the former scavenger and butcher has turned into a Galbanese dog due to starvation, his shiny bald head is really impressive.

"Your Majesty, he is Alan Scherzar, the leader of the scavenger pirates." The Royal Guard officer escorting the prisoner brought the pirate leader to Augustus and squeezed his arm tightly with a broad power armor arm. He kicked his neck hard and ordered him to kneel down to the emperor.

When the emperor looked at a sinner, he was not qualified to stand, so he could only bow his head and repent.

"He sold his soul in exchange for false money." Zeratul stared at the notorious pirate, his burning eyes seeming to pierce his soul.

"Alan Shezar, you have committed numerous crimes against the Human Empire and our people." There was clearly audible anger in the voice of senior executive Artanis: "This is not."

"You are not human beings, shut up! Protoss!" Alan Shezar looked so thin that he seemed to fall down at any time, but his voice was still extremely ferocious. He struggled hard to free himself from the hands holding him and raised his head, his light green eyes sunken in his sockets widening with anger.

"I am Artanis, the senior executive of Durham, and I have the authority." Artanis's voice was as bright as a bell, with extraordinary momentum.

"Fuck, who are you?" Allen laughed coldly, not like a prisoner being interrogated, but still the terrifying pirate king.

"Can you control me?"

"You" Artanis was surprised by Alan Shezar's arrogance. In his opinion, this human being was no braver than others.

"But I can take care of you." Augustus came closer so that the vicious pirate leader could see his power armor boots:

"What's even more unfortunate is that the lives of you and your scum are still in my hands."

If anyone thinks that Emperor Augustus is just a noble prince and a gentle gentleman who got the throne by chance, they are totally wrong. Ten years ago, the rebel leader Augustus was notorious for his murderous nature.

"I really don't know what you shameless pirates are so arrogant about!" Dr. Narud scolded angrily.

"Hmph, I knew this would happen one day." The pirate leader's arrogance was not as arrogant as before, but he had not yet given in.

"I think there is nothing to say about this. What our group of people do is to violate the laws of the Terran Empire, walking on the edge of gray and white to make shady money." He snorted again: "But between me and The Terran Empire didn't even exist when my men raised the first Scavenger fleet."

"I know how you executed Captain Jackson. Now it's my turn. It's a matter of time. How can you walk along the river without getting your shoes wet?"

"I will not execute you." Augustus took two steps and said, "It is too light to execute you so easily. Think about it, you have killed so many people, and dying ten thousand times is not enough."

"I admit death by a thousand cuts." The pirate leader swallowed: "You can't scare me."

Alan Shezar had heard of the tortures endured by pirate captains who had once become famous in the Koprulu sector, but that was far from the most horrifying. They will be resocialized and become the lowest level mine laborers or socialized soldiers who are often incorporated into death squads, which is really a life worse than death.

The resocialization project was originally created by the former Terran Federation to create cannon fodder and dead soldiers, but now it has become the cruelest punishment in the Terran Empire.

"You are not a good person either! Augustus Mengsk!" He took a deep breath and shouted: "Everyone knows that the Mengsk family of Korhal was just a wealthy manor owner a hundred years ago. It took the zerg invasion to take over power, and you're just a pretentious one."

Before he finished speaking, the pirate leader was slapped hard by an invisible hand. Shezal should be lucky that the Emperor Augustus across from him still wanted to spare his life, otherwise the ghost of the head of state next to him could break his neck with just a few fingers.

"You will be punished!" Shezhar spit out a mouthful of blood: "It won't be long before those who oppose you will enter the palace and kill everyone in the Mengsk family!"

"You don't need to worry about it. Tanya, teach him a lesson." Augustus turned his head, lit a cigar, and suddenly let out a long breath:

"It's really life-threatening."

"Ah" gave the order, and the ghost figure of the head of state next to him pressed the pirate's bare head and injected a powerful spiritual power, causing him to scream involuntarily.

"This guy really has a personality. It's been a while since I've seen such a tough pirate." On the other side, Jim Raynor, wearing gray and black power armor, came up with several imperial officers and started from where he was screaming. The pirate walked slowly past.

"When dealing with such desperadoes, you don't have to reason with them." He pointed at Shezal and said, "You scumbag, I should have given you a shot long ago, but that was too easy for you."

Renault has been responsible for the command of the imperial army, and just now he personally commanded a Nova Squadron assault force to invade the temple of Twilight Fortress to search for survivors. It is worth noting that Renault is also accompanied by a tall protoss executive, but his shirt and armor are badly damaged.

"Executor Moyo!" Augustus raised his eyebrows and recognized who it was. Moyo can be regarded as an old acquaintance of the Tyranids. They have worked together to kill the enemy on the battlefields of El and Sagulath many times.

"you are still alive!"

Since being captured by the Scavenger Pirates, there has been no news about Moyo. But in the end, both Augustus and Artanis believed that something bad might have happened to Moyo.

"I am Moyo." This tall and slender protoss executive is a respectable warrior, and a small failure with human pirates is not enough to erase his past achievements: "Augustus Mon Emperor Sk, it’s really a shame for you to see me in this miserable state.”

As a Protoss Executor, Moyo may first be remembered for his humiliating defeat against humans. This is really not a glorious thing, so that the protoss are ashamed to speak about it.

"There is nothing shameful about it. Now we all know what happened." Augustus said: "The people of the Terran Empire are grateful for everything you have done for them."

When the swarm arrived, Protoss Executor Mojo led a fleet to divert the Overlord's army in order to save the Tyranid Empire's colonies. After a tragic battle, Moyo's flagship crashed on an uninhabited planet, and the first one to discover them was Alan Shezar's scavenger pirate.

Although Moyo's Templars were now isolated, they were still deeply ashamed of their defeat at the hands of the Scavenger pirates.

"This is nothing to be ashamed of, Moyo." Renault smiled and said to his old friend: "If you are really sad, think of something funny."

"Moyo, my brother. When we learned that you were safe and sound, Kara was filled with joy." At this time, in a flash of warp matrix, Archon Phoenix came to Moyo.

"Tassadar is also worried about you, brother. Even now, we can only vaguely sense your presence in the Kara. Moyo, only if you open your heart can the tribe understand your pain and heal it. !”

"Brother Phoenix, in the words of Renault's friends, let me be alone for a while." Moyo really had no energy and didn't want to talk: "After that failure, I have been imprisoned in the stasis cabin. , and those humans seemed to have completely forgotten about me.”

"He just wanted some peace and quiet, Phoenix," Leno said.

"James Renault, I'm sorry, I didn't see you just now." How could Phoenix not see Renault? He did it on purpose.

"He seems to have a little temper. You won't talk about that everywhere." Augustus was happy, pulled Renault to his side and whispered to him.

"Don't worry, my mouth is very tight." Renault thought for a while and said.

Indeed, it's been a minute since our Marshal Raynor mentioned the fact that Phoenix adapted the memory of his Purifier clone to everyone's knowledge, but he will soon be unable to hold himself back and talk about it again.

Even with Phoenix's thick skin, he was a little embarrassed when he saw the current Purifier Talandar. As the saying goes, Phoenix always avoids appearing where Talandar is.

"Well, when did I ever doubt you, damn Jimmy." Augustus shook his head.

At this time, the scavenger pirate leader Alan Scherzhar had already stopped wailing, but he did not dare to utter arrogant words anymore.

Augustus looked at Schezar again and asked: "What did Orega give to you to make you willingly sacrifice your lives for him?"

Shezar was silent for a while, until the Royal Guards officer next to him shouted to him, "The emperor is asking you something," and then he said slowly:

"Among my customers, Orega is quite fair and has taken care of a lot of our business. He spends generously and does not take any credit. It is much better to deal with him than to deal with those old fritters. Doing what we do That’s fine, as long as you have money to take it, you don’t care whether the person paying the money is a human or a dog.”

"So, Orega is still a good boss?" Augustus asked.

"This was before he turned into the ghost he is now." Shezal said depressedly and bitterly: "By the time I realized what kind of monster he had become, it was already too late."

"That hateful Dark Archon, Orega! He is a madman!" He shook his head as he said:

"He's crazy! He's crazy! Completely crazy!"

"In order to control my fleet, he locked me on a Goliath robot and installed a self-destruct device inside. Once I don't follow his orders, I will be dead." Also due to the long-term absence of life In the sunny environment, Shezal's face became extremely pale: "Later, I don't know why, Orega no longer even needs me to control my men."

"At that time, I was just a useless prop to Orega. Then as you can see, my people and I became useless garbage, and Orega just threw it into the garbage. I can only scrape some green moss, berries and mushrooms in the temple to satisfy my hunger."

Augustus nodded hesitantly, not asking why there were berries in a closed temple.

"Speaking of which, at that time I really hoped that you could defeat Orega as soon as possible." After finishing speaking, Shezal was completely discouraged, as if he had accepted his fate and did not want to suffer any more.

"I didn't expect you to actually do it."

"It's not that easy. We just defeated Orega again, but we haven't killed him yet." Renault said.

"How can you kill that kind of monster?!" Shezar seemed to have thought of something that frightened him so much that he trembled all over: "I once saw Orega eat those star spirits with my own eyes. It’s like sucking their souls dry! That’s why, that’s why Orega is eternal and why his power never runs out!”

"What's going on?" Augustus looked at Renault.

"I don't understand either. Maybe you should go and see for yourself." Renault spread his hands.

"Your Majesty, we all thought that the existence of hybrid Marr had desecrated this holy land. Now it seems that he and Orega's desecration does not stop there." Artanis walked towards Augustus at this time All.

"Although Orega is no longer here, he once visited Zakul a long time ago." He said with great heartache: "This is the most cruel and inhumane torture after the catastrophe of all ages, and the most terrifying evil deed in the world. But that’s it.”

"The reason why Orega is eternal is that he continuously draws spiritual power from the bodies of other stars. Even the powerful protector of Zakuul has become extremely weak now."

"Research has shown that the power of Zakuul Star Spirit has been infinitely close to the void. Perhaps this is deliberately done to facilitate Mar and Orega to absorb energy." Narud did not continue: "These monsters! How cruel! "

"What would happen if Orega drained all the power from a star spirit?" Augustus asked after being silent for a while.

"Have you seen those sponges that have been dried in the sun? Have you seen the ancient earth mummies recorded in electronic history books? The ones that turn into powder when touched." Reno must have seen it:

"That's right. Orega and Mal are like vampires, draining the blood from the bodies of the stars to nourish themselves."

"I have seen such a tragic scene, it is really too horrible to watch." Narud sighed: "Your Majesty, this is the most heinous scene I have ever seen. Every ripple of psychic energy pulse released by Orega is... At the cost of the lives of countless protoss.”

"A dark age has arrived." Zeratul was stunned for a long time, and then he stopped and sighed.

"." Augustus looked at Narud, as if he wanted to get an answer from him: "Doctor, what kind of thing is the master they are loyal to? This is an evil god."
