StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 112 Valerian's Uncle Hero

Gardens, Villa Pasteur.

There are more than a thousand species of exotic plants planted in the garden of Villa Pasteur. This is a wonderful world of birdsong and flowers, with fresh air and beautiful environment.Umoyan's average life expectancy is much higher than that of the Tyranids and Kemerians, which is due to the overall protection of the environment and advanced medical technology.

During the few days that Augustus stayed at Villa Pasteur, he felt more and more the positive impact of the beautiful environment of Umoyan on the body, mind and health.

Compared with Tarsonis or Khal IV, Umoyan was not a garden world suitable for human habitation at the beginning. Extremely bad weather invaded human homes from time to time, making the land resources of this planet extremely scarce. And this has improved significantly with the advancement of technology and the breakthrough of anti-gravity technology.

"I'm sorry, uncle." Valerian, who was only seven years old, gasped, his forehead was covered with sweat. He was wearing a white training suit with a black belt around his waist. A small wooden sword.

At this time, Valerian was very thin. He was so slender that he could be called thin. He didn't have many muscles in his hands and legs. He looked as fragile as a little girl.Valerian's skin was as fair and tender as tofu in water or condensed milk, and his already feminine face was flushed from strenuous exercise.

Augustus saw his own shadow in Valerian, not his father Arcturus, who was good at jumping since he was a child, and who could chase the housekeeper around.

"Hold your sword again, Xiaowa. This is your own choice. If you are determined to follow in the footsteps of your parents, then build a strong body before that." Augustus called his nephew's nickname, Catherine also sometimes called him Augustus by his nickname.

"When you are an adult, the Koprulu sector will usher in the most chaotic time in countless epochs. You will fight against the enemy of mankind, you will shuttle between galaxies, and you will fight side by side with your friends. You Die for what you love and for those who love you."

"What should I do?" Valerian tightly held the wooden sword in his hand, looking at his uncle's cold gray eyes that were almost identical to his own.

Valerian adored the man.

His own uncle, Augustus Mengsk, was a soldier, a brave and selfless fighter whose ideals were beyond all the stars Valerian had ever seen in the night sky.

Augustus let Valerian make his own choice, whether to continue to live carefree under his mother's wing or to work hard for his dream.It would be impatient and even irresponsible for such a young child to make decisions about his own destiny at this age, but Augustus firmly believed that his nephew was different.

Exploring the starry sky is far less romantic than the anthology of starry sky poetry. Whether it is the harsh natural environment of alien stars, beasts, or terrible and dangerous cosmic visions, an exploration fleet may become a metal wreck floating in the universe.

Adventurers need both a clever mind and the skill to fight against unknown enemies and dangers, and the reality makes Valerian understand that he only has to protect his own ability forever.

Valerian liked and was fascinated by the mysterious knowledge of aliens, while his uncle told him that sometimes alien relics and valuable knowledge must be seized or defended by force.The real starry sky is cruel, and human beings who live in a corner just happen to live in the comfortable garden world.

A true adventurer is both a learned scholar and a brave warrior.

"Am I going to kill those aliens?" Valerian knew that his uncle was one of the few people who really believed in the existence of aliens.

In the past, because of his mother's education, Valerian didn't even know the meaning of death or war. He only read books on history, geography and literature, and believed that the starry sky was a beautiful, pure and fantasy world.

"We shall win the world by war, but remember that war is the means to an end." Augustus said: "Use your wit and cunning, ally with your friends, and fight your enemies to the death."

As Augustus said, he swung the wooden sword in his hand towards Valerian. The sword in the latter's hand blocked the blow in a horizontal position after deftly turning his wrist, but the powerful force still struck him. Falling to the ground, the flushed Valerian suddenly showed a look of shame.

"You have done a good job." Augustus put down the sword in his hand, helped Valerian up, and comforted him, saying, "You are very sensitive and can quickly master the skills of swordsmanship, just like yours. Like your father, you have great talent. Now all you need is a strong body."

"But I can't do anything well," Valerian said. "I couldn't even hold my wooden sword steady at first, I couldn't run fast, and I was out of breath after a short distance. Look down on me, I like to read, people think I'm a nerd who just reads."

"No, you are excellent." At this moment, Augustus picked up Valerian and put it on his shoulders - Valerian is very light, so Augustus can still hold Valerian at this time. Pick him up like a baby: "As long as you are serious, you can do everything well."

"If you can't hold your sword, or swing it powerfully, swing it ten thousand times. If you run every day, you'll get faster and faster. Reading is for learning, Improve your wits," said Augustus mildly.

"If anyone says you're a sissy or a girl, knock them all down."

"Oh, but it's rude. Grandma and mother don't like me fighting with others." Valerian nodded half-understanding.

"What if it was my father?"

"." Augustus was walking in the garden with Valerian on his back, and suddenly stopped and fell into thought: "Maybe you are not his opponent now, but you can wait until you grow up, until one day you can defeat him. "

"Oh." In just a few days, Augustus had become Valerian's idol.

This sometimes stern and sometimes gentle elder almost conforms to the best imagination of Valerian Jr. for his father. Augustus has high demands on Valerian, but he never forces him to do things he doesn't like.

Augustus was so patient that he would even stay by Valerian's side and play childish games with him, taking him through Umoyan's beautiful countryside and pastures with livestock, spending the day with him .

This period was the happiest time for Valerian, and he loved his uncle sincerely.

Valerian didn't even look forward to seeing his father much.

The uncle and nephew kept talking and taking a walk in the garden until noon, when they were about to return to Pasteur's mansion to finish their meal, a Umoyan National Guard stationed here found Augustus.

The words of the Umoyan soldier in white power armor with a light blue light emitting from the joints of the armor plates and the helmet made Augustus ecstatic:
A Behemoth-class battlecruiser of the Tyranid Federation just crashed on a hot planet closer to Umoyan due to a navigation system failure, and the National Defense Army is deploying ships to that planet.

This is great news, because neither Keha nor Umoyan currently has the complete technology to build battlecruisers.
