too late, organism

After paying a painful price, the Morian Federation declared defeat and ceded all the mineral planets to the Tyrann Federation.

When the news arrived at the front lines along with the order for a ceasefire, the largest mutiny ever occurred in the Koprulu Sector, whether it was in the naval fleet playing hide-and-seek with the Tyranid Federation forces, or in the trenches holding their positions in broken power armor. Marines, for the first time disobeying the orders of High Command, were willing to shed their last drop of blood on the worst battlefield even hours before.

These troops who continued to fight in the absence of supplies, numbers, and support felt betrayed.

Even the elite units directly under the theater command, such as the 404th Independent Heavy Armored Battalion, have been separated from the sequence of the Morian complex together with the naval fleet.

Most of them became members of the huge pirate force in the Koprulu sector not long after.

In the Tyrann Federation, the old families who cheered for victory didn't care that a small part of their huge army had a little problem, such as Jim Raynor and his heavenly demon squad, because of some internal struggles, almost All were wiped out, Jim Raynor and Tychus missing, and reports of the remaining members dying in action were indifferent.

But after the war ended, some things that were originally covered up by the war began to enter their field of vision again, such as a certain colonial planet that had been seeking independence from the Federation—Keha IV, and the members of the old family were going to win through the war. Yu Wei, to solve this problem once and for all.

At this time, Mengsk, the former lieutenant colonel of the Tyranid Federation Army, war hero, and current explorer, who has won the best prospector trophy for two consecutive times, is going through a new stage in his life.

After a lot of prospecting, maybe one of them was bad, or the supplier supplied a poor quality bit sheath, as he was at his favorite restaurant, with his favorite woman, drinking his favorite whiskey, thinking Which of his favorite poses is going to be used tonight.

"I am pregnant."

These four simple words made Mengsk feel as if he had returned to the cruel battlefield, as if a shell from a siege tank had just exploded next to him, making him a little dizzy.

So he looked at Julianna, first smothered the whiskey in the glass with his head up, then poured himself a full glass of whiskey, and then smothered the first whiskey in a way that he would never experience the taste of this high-quality whiskey. Two glasses of whiskey.

After taking a deep breath, he took out a ring from his bosom that he tapped out little by little with a small hammer during his spare time in spaceflight. It was inlaid with a diamond ring the size of his thumb that he also dug out in space. son.

With the momentum that he was going to take those good brothers to make a final fight back then, he stood up from the chair, walked to Juliana, knelt down on one knee, and raised the ring in front of Juliana.

"Will you marry me?"

"Yes!"

At the same time, in Korha IV, in the Mengsk family's manor, several ghost agents with the logo of the Tyrannian Federal Army on their chests hid in the corner of the restaurant and watched the Mengsk family who were having dinner together.

One of the red-haired agents activated the communicator.

"The blade arrives at the designated position, visually confirm the target."

"Do it, don't leave anyone alive."

Chapter 79 76 The Storm Is Coming

Mengsk felt unreal about being happy during this time, working on the job he loved most, and at the same time the woman he loved and loved him had his child.

But this joy is fleeting like a midsummer night's dream.

While Mengsk is at the mall, he and Juliana are picking out baby gear for the unborn Varian Mengsk and arguing over what color Varian's nursery should be painted.

Mengsk's attention was suddenly caught by an urgent news interrupted on the big screen in the mall.

[Regarding the former chairman of Rikha IV, Angus Mengsk, was murdered at home, the Keha Prosecutor’s Office ruled that he committed suicide in fear of crime and showed Angus Mengsk’s bribery evidence. Huge social turmoil…]

After hearing the news that his father was killed at home, Mengsk froze in place, and Mengsk didn't listen to the news such as bribery that was played afterwards.

"Sorry honey... I have to... I have to... I have to make a phone call."

Mengsk frantically stuffed the handbag containing the baby onesies and feeding bottles into Juliana's arms, then fumbled for the communicator on himself, and ran to those inconspicuous shops in the mall. corner.

"Damn...damn..."

Mengsk took out the communicator and began to try to contact his mother, Catherine Mengsk, but the communication was unanswered, so he dialed the communication of his sister, Dorothy Mengsk.

Although the relationship with the family is tense, he still keeps in touch with his sister by email from time to time. He knows that after Dorothy won her second first place in school, his mother Catherine rewarded her with a personal communicator. .

But Dorothy's communication also failed to connect. After Mengsk looked at the communicator in his hand and hesitated, he pressed his father's number.

After a few beeps, the communication was connected.

"dad!"

"Hello, this is the Keha Prosecutor's Office..."

Mengsk froze when he heard the strange voice on the communication.

"This is the Keha Public Prosecutor's Office. Who are you? Why are you calling Angus Mengsk?"

Mengsk opened his mouth like a fish out of water, but was unable to utter a word.

After a few more feeds from the opposite side and asking if he could hear him, Mengsk finally spoke up.

"I'm Arcturus Mengsk, how is my family?"

"I'm very sorry……"

When Juliana found Mengsk in the corner of the mall, the strong warrior still had tears on his face.

"Sorry, Juliana... I have some things to attend to, can you give me a moment?"

Mengsk stuffed the communicator back into his pocket, and with a forced smile on his face, he said to Juliana, who was full of worry.

Juliana put down the things she was carrying, walked up to Mengsk, held Mengsk's face in both hands, and kissed him gently on the lips.

"Go, Valerian and I will always be here waiting for you."

Juliana took a few steps back and smiled at Mengsk in front of him, just like when they first met.

A stiff and ugly smile appeared on Mengsk's face, and he hugged Juliana heavily into his arms, as if trying to integrate Juliana with himself.

Then let go of Juliana, turned around and strode away without looking back.

When Mengsk set off for Korha IV, the cat car also returned to the Koprulu sector after a long absence.

During the time he was away, the Hyperion galaxy developed very well, and a large number of refugees created by the trade union wars flocked into this galaxy, making this planet that was only an agricultural town a few years ago now develop into An industrial planet with a complete range of industries capable of producing various industrial products and hundreds of millions of residents has been created.

Among the troops that broke away from the Morian Federation, many commanders who received treatment from the SCP Foundation directly brought the troops to the Hyperion galaxy.

Many of these troops are elite troops in the trade union war, including two independent heavy armored battalions with a total of ten tanks left, and an armored grenadier brigade with less than 300 people, etc. Although the organizational structure is dilapidated , But in the early days of the trade union war, it was enough for any theater commander of the Tyrannian Federation Army to call for the ace troops for support after seeing these establishments.

But at this moment, most of the members of these former Morian Union troops are still waiting for the SCP-500 clinic to complete their prosthetic transformation work.

Even if he suddenly made a fortune and picked up a lot of elite troops in the Koprulu sector for nothing, Maoche found that the situation in the Koprulu sector was still a little bit worse during the past few years when he was busy competing for budgets in the empire. Out of his control.

Originally thinking of fast in and fast out, Cat Che, who ran away after making a fortune here, found that this galaxy belonging to the SCP Foundation has become an existence no less than the core world of the empire itself, although it is not as good as the one with pioneers. The star ring of the factory left behind by the former is also worse than that of the mother star of the empire.

However, with the large number of high-quality refugees who have been screened and the influx of high-quality refugees, as well as the unique crystal mines in the Koprulu sector, the industrial production capacity of the Hyperion galaxy has been able to support a team that can be called a threat by any standard. Cruiser Squadron.

It would be a pity to abandon this star sector according to the previous thinking.

But if you don't give up here, you can only prepare for the insect swarm that will come at an unknown time, as well as the hidden front of the fallen Sarnaga Emon Steel.

As a result, Lieutenant General Iron Arm was transferred to the Koprulu sector again, preparing to take over the command of the [Eternal Vigilance] fleet that Cat Che began to reorganize.

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the fleet, those Leviathan-class strategic cruisers were stuffed into the shipbreaking yard to wait for dismantling, and they were replaced by IG-class destroyers of the Holy Roman Empire standard and upgraded PDF-class frigates with stealth capabilities.

In addition, the flagship of Vice Admiral Iron Arm was determined to be a ship with an axis length of four kilometers. It became an experimental 3800mm variable dynamic artillery.

This heavy gun can switch between firing kinetic energy shells and ultraviolet laser launchers, and also has a well-received overload mode. Unlike the [-]-type main gun equipped on destroyers, this one is named [-]-type main gun The heavy cannon of the cannon, after being overloaded, no longer fires solid cannonballs, but a six-times-charged enhanced laser beam, which is enough to melt most of the known armor except for dragon scale armor and neutron armor.

And according to the experience in the Panta galaxy, except for the axis cannon, except for a heavy torpedo launcher, the whole body is full of various point defense devices.

This level of cruiser was officially named the [Storm Commando] class after the construction started. name, as well as the famous ship emblem of the Private Creed [Hammer of Hitting the Octopus].

Chapter 80 77 Mengsk of Keha

When the cat car readjusted the fleet, Mengsk also arrived at a border planet. He knew what his father had done, and it was because he didn't understand his father's career that he joined the federal army in a fit of anger.

And now it's time to take over the banner that his father Zeng Jin wanted to hand over to him, and fulfill his wish during his lifetime.

But before heading to Korha IV to inherit the Mengsk family's legacy, he needed to gather some help.

On that desolate frontier planet, in a tavern in a small town, Mengsk sat in front of the bar, playing with the schnapps with ice cubes and low-quality whiskey in his hand, watching the water vapor condense on the glass and then slide down to the bar.

"crunch..."

"Everything..."

Simultaneously to the scrape of wood as the bar's poorly maintained doors were pushed open was the clatter of dozens of boots trampling on the bar's metal floor.

"Sir! All reports from Company A, First Battalion, Second Regiment, 33rd Mixed Brigade!"

"Sir! Report from all B Company, 33st Battalion, [-]nd Regiment, [-]rd Mixed Brigade!"

"Sir!"

"Sir!"

……

"Sir! Report from the Second Regiment of the 33rd Mixed Brigade!"

Mengsk took out a federal currency with a large enough denomination from his arms and put it on the bar, and then put the glass of low-quality whiskey that he hadn't taken a sip on the currency.

Mengsk turned around and looked at the familiar faces in the bar who wore military uniforms with the identification marks of the Tyrannian Federal Army torn off, and who had experienced everything with him on the battlefield.

"You know what I'm going to do."

One by one, Mengsk looked at the familiar faces who had walked out with him on the hellish battlefield of Thor II.

"You know the consequences of doing so."

Mengsk finally set his sights on the face of the sergeant chief who was at the forefront of the team and had been his subordinate when he was only acting battalion commander.

"Would you like to follow me?"

"Sir!"

The Master Chief looked in front of him, even when he was kicked out by the two Morian Combined mechanized infantry battalions after the failed attempt to break into the dragon's lair, Mengsk was not so haggard.

"We are all Keha, we are all brought out of that hell by you, and we will follow you until the end of the world!"

"Snapped!"

The Master Chief's heels bumped together, and he raised his right hand to salute Mengsk with a standard military salute.

"Until the end of the world!"

There was a neat sound in the bar, the sound of military boots colliding.

"Snapped!"

Looking at these subordinates, Mengsk returned an equally standard military salute to them.

"Let's go back to Keha!"

A few days later, word spread across the bustling planet that the last of the Mengsk family had returned to Korhal to preside over the Mengsk family funeral.

Along with Mengsk, there were dozens of strong men who were not easy to mess with at first glance, which made the well-informed people who knew what really happened in Mengsk's manor not only have some clever guesses.

This conjecture was quickly confirmed. On the third day after Mengsk publicly returned to Korha, several corpses with traces of resocialization were placed in the lobby of the hotel where Mengsk was staying.

Because the manor of the Mengsk family was the scene of the crime, it was still blocked by the Keha Prosecutor's Office as the crime scene, and no one was allowed to enter, including Mengsk who had just returned to Keha.

But no one expected that the assassination against Mengsk would come so quickly, and Mengsk's response would be so direct.

After the assassination, Mengsk not only directly reported to the police, but also contacted a lot of media, and began to manipulate public opinion that was almost engraved in the DNA of the Mengsk family.

Almost on the day of the funeral of Mengsk's family, Mengsk obtained the title of member of the Korha Council. Some of his father's former subordinates, including those freedom fighters who secretly received military training to resist federal rule, also contacted him. The last heir to the Mengsk family, and willing to serve him as he had served his father.

The flames of rebellion burned on Korha again, even more fiercely than in the days of old Mengsk.

Those veterans who have crawled out of hell are different from the recruits who have only been trained in the training camp. Their actions are more stealthy and their methods are more drastic.

Shootings and bombings against congressmen dispatched by the Federation are endless, and even the barracks of the Federation Army are no longer a safe place. Some troops sent by the Federation to Korhal IV usually don’t Wait until next week for some unfortunate accidents to happen at their camp.

And the corpses of those soldiers who did it will be hung on Keha's street lamps by some mysterious people, and there will be a sign saying "murderer" or "federal running dog" on their chests.

The Federation is gradually losing control of Korha IV, and the federal officials stationed on Korha IV believe that a large-scale riot or uprising is imminent.

At the same time that Mengsk took over his father's business and began to fight against the Tyranid Federation again.

In the Hyperion galaxy, the cat car is reorganizing the information accumulated by the SCP Foundation over the years, and the extent to which the SCP-500 Foundation's infiltration work in the Koprulu sector has progressed.

Although after he returned to the mainland of the empire, the SCP Foundation would still send those particularly important information back to the empire, such as the end of the trade union war or the news that the first ship of the Behemoth-class battlecruiser of the Tyranid Federation had launched its sea trial.

But a lot of news that will affect the future development of the situation is hidden in those inconspicuous news, and what Maoche needs to do is to find those inconspicuous news from the waste paper pile through the memory before traveling.

Soon the cat car found news about the savior of the Coprulu sector and the future commander of the Tyrannian Empire-Jim Raynor.

After this young man shined on the battlefield, it didn't take long for him to become a traitor to the Federation. Of course he didn't belong to the most dangerous category. The security agencies in the country have caused a lot of trouble.

But recently, the former Federal Army propaganda star completely disappeared from public view after losing his last comrade-in-arms in the Heavenly Demon Squad in a failed robbery.
