too late, organism

This really scared the upper echelons of the Tyrann Federation, as if the king found out that the leg of a chair on his throne had been bitten off in half by a mouse.

Completely ignoring the six colonial planets that declared independence after the referendum, and hastily announcing an embargo on those six treasonous colonies, the first thing they did was to launch a major inventory campaign against the Federation Navy.

If there is any problem within the federal navy, it will be a major event that can directly shake the federal rule.

Those six colonial planets will not run away, and they can wait until the inventory is completed before letting those troublemakers know why E=MC^2.

However, just like a certain admiral who changed the bombs and planned to kill you all after I finished changing the bombs, the work of the Federation to investigate the Navy is not so easy to complete.

While the Federation was conducting an inventory of the Navy, Mengsk took the Hyperion with the Sons of Keha and began to collect interest from the Federation.

As a veteran who climbed all the way from first class to colonel in the federal army, and was only a little bit short of being able to get the general star, even without the intelligence support provided by the SCP Foundation, the battlefield is almost unilaterally transparent to Mengsk.

He knows the battle thinking of the Tyrannian Federation Army so well, and even part of the field manual used by the Federation Army now comes from his combat experience.

An excellent commander coupled with high morale and skilled veterans, Mengsk continued to block the Federation in the control area of ​​the Tyrann Federation. Although the damage caused by the behemoth of the Federation seemed insignificant, it seemed like it was under the control of a man. It hurt like a kick between the legs.

Chapter 85 81 Humanitarian March

In Mengsk, he was busy adding obstacles to the old families in the federal territory, attacking a military base today, and ambushing a transport fleet tomorrow.

After successive successes, Mengsk even had the courage to raid a star port of the Tyrannian Federation Army, and successfully snatched several Leviathan-class strategic cruisers from the star port that were awaiting review.

Looking at the cat car that seems to be still in a state of confusion in the Tyrannian Federation, it directly started a round of humanitarian march.

On the pretext that the six independent colonial planets were embargoed, which led to a humanitarian crisis in which there was a lack of food and industrial products, the SCP Foundation announced that it would accept the trusteeship request from the local democratically elected government, temporarily take over the local regime and provide corresponding guarantees , while the custody agreement is 99 years.

Maoche signed the agreement on the front foot, and then the engineering ship of the SCP Foundation began to build star bases next to the stars of these six galaxies, preparing to repair the dock first.

At that time, after the six shipyards are repaired, 24 Stormtrooper-class cruisers will be started in one go, and I will ask you if you are afraid.

But this is all for the future. What Maoche is doing now is to continue to hold high the humanitarian banner and start providing humanitarian assistance to the colonial planets in the Federation.

The specific content of the assistance ranged from the execution of uncooperative colonial officials with 8mm electromagnetic rifle rounds, to the orbital bombardment of a military camp suspected of containing weapons of mass destruction.

Taking advantage of the temporary lack of opportunity for the Tyrannian Federation, a large number of colonial planets in the Federation started riots under the instigation of the honorary Romans. Among them, the planets with industrial foundations and close to the Hyperion galaxy were quickly obtained by the SCP Foundation. Humanitarian aid is provided independently from the Commonwealth.

When the SCP Foundation occupied 24 colonial planets in one go, even with the social system of Gestalt with extremely high administrative efficiency, and immigrated a large number of transformed Romans on Hyperion to the hosting planets to increase support for the hosting planets The control power cannot continue to expand afterward.

The cat car stopped the pace of expansion, and once again sent all the crazy doctors to start transforming these hosting planets, and at the same time began to build space facilities in these galaxies. A large number of alloys were taken out of the warehouse and became the SCP Foundation. Take control of the sign of the galaxy.

Although the cat car on Hyperion stopped advancing, and began to consider whether to use a banner other than humanitarianism next time, such as democracy and freedom, it would be interesting to get a democracy foundation or something .

However, the riots launched by the SCP Foundation showed no sign of stopping. The riots quickly spread from those galaxies that had previously received a large number of honored Romans to other galaxies that suffered losses in the trade union war. It swept across the entire federation.

In this riot that almost swept across the entire Federation, the top leaders of the Federation found that they seemed to have begun to lose control of the situation.

Whenever they were preparing to gather troops on a large scale and put them into action to suppress the riots, those so-called sons of Keha seemed to be listening in the war room, precisely attacking the federal army's material transfer base and those who had just arrived at the assembly point. naval forces.

Every time, they dealt a heavy blow to these troops preparing to go into battle, and successfully evacuated the battlefield before the follow-up troops rushed to the battlefield, as if someone was notifying them of the mobilization of the Tyrannian Federation Army at any time.

Although the build-up of troops is constantly being delayed, the Tyranid Federation continues to work hard to gather troops.

When it was discovered that the efficiency of attacking supply camps and sporadic small groups of troops began to decrease, and could not effectively delay the speed of the Tyrann Federation's assembled troops.

The Sons of Keha changed their attack target, from attacking military targets to attacking commercial targets of the Tyrann Federation, whether it was mines, shipyards or large factories, they were all targets of their attacks.

After clearing out the weak security force, remove everything that can be moved, and then blow up the place completely.

This kind of attack has put the top leaders of the Tyrann Federation in a dilemma. If the riot that has almost swept across the entire Federation is not suppressed as soon as possible, the Federation will soon lose its prestige in the turmoil and disintegrate.

But compared to the Federation, which is on the broad road of disintegration, the business of the Federation's top executives has been disrupted, which is what makes the Federation's top executives feel the real pressure.

It is not any noble reason that unites the federation to this day, but the pursuit of profit by the old families that rule the federation.

They can take pride in ruthlessly destroying the jobs that tens of millions of people depend on in order to make the financial report numbers look better than last year.

But now, their assets are under threat, with properties closing every week due to riots or the activities of the Sons of Korha.

Although they know that if the riot is not suppressed as soon as possible, they will lose more in the future, but this does not make them calm down, waiting for the high-level federation to solve the riot and those "sons of Keha", they demand that the federation send troops as soon as possible protect their industries.

Losing the Commonwealth loses a lot, losing capital loses everything.

Those at the helm of these old families know exactly what is really important to them.

Under internal and external pressure, the top federal officials made a decision with little hesitation.

The reason why weapons are weapons, not a pile of expensive scrap iron, is that they will be thrown into the battlefield. The weapons were thrown on the most violent colonial planet.

As a result of the tests, some ferocious zerg were attracted to the planet.

Those cruel and ruthless alien creatures quickly did what the Federation wanted to do but failed to do. They ended the riots on the planet, and forced those mobs who wanted to survive to obey the Federation's arrangements.

And the Sons of Keha did not stop the federal fleets that were going to clear the pests. Just as the high-level federation expected, the Sons of Keha would not stop the federal troops from rescuing the colonies that had been attacked by the Zerg in order to maintain the innocence of their rebel army. planet.

As a result, more psionic transmitters were thrown into the rioting planet, and the federal army command hoped to use the opportunity of sweeping away the pests to regroup the army that had wiped out the Morian Federation.

At the same time, far away, countless light-years away, in a galaxy almost completely covered by the chitin shell of the zerg, a being with a psychic response as bright as a star felt a distant psychic signal.

Section 86 Responses from all parties

[The war agreement is activated, and the wartime production system is activated. 】

After receiving word of the zerg's presence, Catche did not hesitate to initiate a war pact, putting the colony at war.

Even if the first phase of the armament construction plan has not been completed, those colonial planets that have just signed the trusteeship agreement have not yet been fully under the control of the SCP Foundation.

Those space bases in orbit around the stars are still under construction, and the fastest one will take at least three months to complete.

As for the plan to start construction of dozens of cruisers at the same time, those plans that only stay on paper, and now even the ore is still lying in various mines waiting to be mined.

But the cat cart still put the SCP Foundation into a state of war, and he knew that if the swarm really wanted to destroy something in the Koprulu sector, no one could stop them except the fallen Xel'Naga.

Not even the Protoss, nearly half of the Fallen Empire, could stop these ruthless beasts from destroying their homeworld.

Although the fall of Aiur in the game was caused by the protoss itself, it is undeniable that after the fall of Aiur, even the golden fleet of the protoss could not regain their home planet.

Knowing that the military power they have now is not enough to resist the swarm's cat car, all they can do is to enter the state of war as soon as possible, so that the foundation's war machine can be operated in advance.

At the same time as the SCP Foundation activated its own war machine, the Zerg also spread among the human-colonized planets in the Koprulu Sector.

Some Zergs began to appear on those planets where the Federation did not set up psionic transmitters, but the Federation no longer cared about this "little" deviation. After confirming that the introduction of Zergs could suppress the riots, more psionic launches Devices are deployed by Ghost to planets where the situation is deemed to be out of control.

This constantly appearing spiritual energy signal, from the beginning like a fleeting meteor in the dark night, gradually turned into an existence like a bonfire in the middle of the night, and began to attract the attention of some existences.

Countless light-years away, in that galaxy almost entirely filled with chitin, a being as huge as a mountain discovered that the distant psionic signal was not his own illusion, although it was faint, it was still there even at a long distance. , that existence can also receive that annoying signal.

Obviously, the smart people in the Tyranid Federation only know that the zerg will be attracted by this kind of psionic signal, they don't know that this kind of psychic signal, in the eyes of the zerg, is the kind that the zerg speaks very dirty, even if there is no The swarm subnodes of the brain will be irritated by that swarm swearing.

After staring at the existence that was silent, but continued to look in the direction of the public frequency for 24 hours, that huge mountain-like ordinary person would be deprived of reason by the surging spiritual energy just by looking directly at it, decided to Send a team of your own cronies to find out which unqualified guy is swearing in public all day long.

If possible, let's see if there is a savior who can save the world among those unqualified guys.

Just after the swarm started to move, in the other direction of the Koprulu star area, some races driving huge and gorgeous spaceships that could be called works of art sailed among the stars, and the races with psychic light jumping in their eye sockets were discovered. What they were vigilant about, the zerg that had devoured countless civilizations in the past years, reappeared in the Koprulu sector.

A nascent civilization is being threatened by these ruthless beings. According to ancient dogma, these self-proclaimed guardians of civilization have sent a fleet to prepare to end the Zerg invasion.

And the humans in the Koprulu star area, neither the Federation nor Umoyan, still don't know what kind of hopeless future they are about to face.

Unlike the SCP Foundation, Umoyan did not embezzle the Federation's colonial planets when the Federation was in chaos.

Even if some honorable Romans fanned the flames in the parliament, they locked the country's gates and did not want to fall into the mess of the Federation, but selectively absorbed some of the refugees to join Umoyan.

At this moment, the giant Federation seems to be suffering from schizophrenia. While constantly trying its best to gather troops, it also distributes the troops that have finally assembled to various colonial planets to protect some civilian facilities.

And those troops that were not split up were not efficiently stuffed into various battlefields to destroy the enemies of the Federation or themselves as they were during the Union War.

They were confused by contradictory orders. Some of the troops ordered to pursue the Sons of Korha were ordered to raid the Umoyan naval base after they approached Umoyan's border.

Because some high-ranking members of the Federation believe that an enemy is the best way to unite the Federation again.

And other troops who were ordered to expel the swarms of insects that invaded the colonial planet received instructions to divert to attack the SCP Foundation when they arrived at the colonial planet to start cleaning up the pests.

The technology of the SCP Foundation has always been of great interest to the high-level Federation. After the Federation fell into schizophrenia, some people who had long been envious of SCP's technology began to carry out some golden military adventures.

Although these out-of-control forces turned into expensive fireworks in space before they could actually cause any damage, it was a sign of the Federation's further loss of control.

When the situation was deteriorating, a wandering Zerg squad who was stimulated by non-stop fair scolding and only wanted to destroy something to relieve their irritability invaded a border planet of the Tyrannian Federation.

Just like most frontier planets, agriculture is the main industry on this sparsely populated planet, and there is only one symbolic federal military camp as a symbol of federal control here.

And after the zerg invaded the planet, these federal troops who used to protect the residents from this colonial planet and collected a lot of taxes disappeared without a trace, only one who used to like to spend time in bars The sheriff's militia unit was holding the line to protect the colonists.

"Back up!"

"Back up!"

"Regroup your defenses! Keep your distance from those bugs!"

Jim Raynor, wearing black power armor, has never missed those old buddies when he served in the Federal Army so much. If his old brothers were still there, he would have no need at all, just because of the firepower loophole caused by changing the magazine, but Give up three lines of defense in one breath.

Although these rookies finally learned the skill of switching bombs after giving up three lines of defense in a row, there was only the last line of defense left behind them.

Chapter 88 83 The First Collision

When Jim Raynor led a group of militiamen to hold the last line of defense, an advance force of the swarm approached the Hyperion galaxy.

According to the habit of the swarms attacking, they will send some "miniature fleets" to occupy the galaxy around the attack target, as a springboard for the attack and provide jumping coordinates for the main fleet.

Although it is an advance force, this "miniature fleet" composed of five Leviathans is still fully loaded with all types of Zerg units, including Zerglings to Devourers.

Just the five Leviathans that played as guest transport ships have the ability to destroy a federal colonial planet in one day.

Not to mention the Zergs carried in Leviathan's body, once released, they can completely make the target attacked by them feel what is called a three-point universe seven-pointed insect.

The main fleet that arrives after the jump coordinates are determined is different from the fleets that arrived earlier. In order to reduce navigation consumption, they will only carry high-level units in the swarm such as devourers, guardians, and king worms.

Therefore, in addition to providing coordinates for the main force of the swarm, these planets that are used as a springboard for the swarm's attack also need to provide enough lower-level nodes for the swarm, which is commonly known as cannon fodder.

As it happens, the Hyperion system is one of the springboards chosen by the master of the swarm.

But they didn't expect that they would encounter an iron plate as unshakable as the Protoss here.

When they finished jumping near the Hyperion system, the star bases in the Hyperion system began to alarm frantically, thanks to the psionic monitoring technology learned from the pioneer wreckage of Penta VI.

Before the swarms arrived in the Hyperion galaxy, the SCP Foundation successfully mobilized all combat ships in the galaxy, including the newly commissioned Stormtrooper-class cruiser Private Creed, his sister ship Fury, and There is a destroyer detachment and another stealth frigate detachment just out of maintenance.

Except for the two stealth frigates that were ordered on Hyperion to transport the servers that backed up the important data of the SCP Foundation so that they could jump through the wormhole and return to the mainland of the empire at the most critical moment, the rest of the fleet launched a battle team on the edge of the galaxy shape.

The remaining two destroyer detachments and one stealth frigate detachment scattered outside are rushing back to the Hyperion galaxy at full speed, but these fleets need a week to rush back to the Hyperion galaxy one after another. They are destined to miss this battle.

Two pocket cruisers, four destroyers, and twelve stealth frigates waiting for an opportunity to attack formed a sparse array on the advancing track of the five Leviathans.

And the five Leviathans with axes between eight kilometers and ten kilometers continued to sail towards the direction of the Hyperion galaxy, as if they didn't see these warships.

There is still a process of shouting and driving away with normal civilization, but if the opposite is a swarm, this process can only be ignored.

After all, the SCP Foundation has not yet mastered active psionic technology. It is too difficult to use psionic energy to communicate with the swarm. At most, the machine spits out bugs and oil all over its face.

So when the Leviathan came into range, the Stormtrooper-class cruiser opened fire first.

Although the 2030mm caliber main gun is placed on a cruiser with an axis length of four kilometers, it feels like the Yamato battleship is not equipped with the 460 thick tube that all beings are equal, but the 97-type tank turret of the Army Red Deer. The output is too weak.

However, the output of energy weapons does not simply depend on the thickness of the caliber of the tube, but on the energy density projected per unit area.

After the energy is focused, on the entire cruiser, except for the fire control system and the shield that maintains the minimum output, all the energy is sent into the main gun at the bow. This destructive laser beam has Terrible range.

At a distance three times longer than the range of the destroyer's main guns, the laser beams fired by the two Stormtrooper-class cruisers hit the largest of the five Leviathans. The axial length is estimated to be about ten kilometers. things.

On Leviathan's body, the two laser beams were like embroidery needles in front of adults, like hot knives cutting butter, after smashing Leviathan's shield, they burned hundreds of meters in one go. A chitin shell as thick as a city wall, and biological tissues several kilometers deep.

But this is not the end. After learning the lesson of IG-class destroyers being overloaded, they need to return to the factory for overhaul after three consecutive shots. Storm Commando-class cruisers use segmented main gun cooling technology.

The cooling time of each set of cooling devices is 3 minutes, but it can maintain the continuous irradiation of the main gun for 15 seconds.

This allowed the Stormtrooper-class cruiser to fire every overloaded main gun, although it required 3 minutes to cool down, but the main gun's irradiation time was as long as 2 minutes and 45 seconds.

The Leviathan that was irradiated by the two cruisers at the same time was like a person being dismembered by a razor, and it uttered a wail that even the psionic detectors at the star base in the Hyperion galaxy could receive.

After the first shot, the Leviathan was facing the direction of the Hyperion galaxy, and it was torn apart like a piece of meat that was stuffed into a meat grinder and pulled out. Tens of thousands of tons of torn biological tissue floated in the direction of the Hyperion galaxy. Next to Leviathan.

Even so, that Leviathan continued to head towards the Hyperion galaxy like a cockroach whose head had been cut off.

[The attack is effective, the stealth frigate detachment, advance to the first launch position on the Z axis, evacuate after launch, the destroyer pushes forward, preparing to delay the advance of the enemy ship, the cruiser focuses fire on the damaged enemy ship and launches a second round of salvo. 】

Lieutenant General Iron Arm, sitting in the first command room of the Private Creed, finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the shelling report from the optical detector at the star base.
