StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 141 Arrival and Docking
Outside the bridge portholes of the Iron Justice are two Behemoth-class battlecruisers a few miles apart. The armor plate on the hammer-shaped bow reflects the light of the middle-aged sun in the Cable Rock Galaxy. The magnificent and dense turrets seem to be Lin Li's swords.

Behind the orange-red plasma flame behind the cruiser's propeller, there are still space fluctuations and curtain-like wakes left after the hyperspace transition, and a dark brown asteroid is in the distant deep space behind the battleship.

Alpha Squadron's flagship, the Norad II, was in front. When it fired with its sister ship Napoleon, Augustus, standing on the bridge of the Iron Justice, could only see dense spots of light at first.

The flames of the laser cannon turret and the plasma tail flames of the torpedoes and missiles in the sky complement each other in the dark deep space. In the blink of an eye, the orange-red laser beams with a width of more than ten feet are from far to near, plowing out lines on the armor under the bridge. Dark nicks.These are the densest and strongest materials that humans currently have, vaporizing rapidly, like melting ice.

Every attack will cause the battleship to tremble, and the surface of this city-like steel fortress bathed in the light of stars and laser weapons bursts out brilliant, fleeting bright flames.

Most of the battlecruisers built before the Battle of Kailian failed to add energy shield technology, so the Iron Justice can only rely on its thick deck to resist attacks from the enemy.

"Reinforce decks [-] and [-], repair the auxiliary engine [-]. Notify the hangar and send all the Avengers and Wraith fighters out of the launch bay. Tell the marines that all their vacations are cancelled, and everyone gathers on the lower deck. There is a tough battle to be fought."

Warfield's second-in-command, Major Charles Chuck Horner, issued orders calmly amidst the sirens buzzing on the bridge.

This stubby fringe colonial man was one of the few surviving members of Arcturus' Imperial squad after the war, and while still brusque, he had long since washed away his luster and grown into a reliable commander official.

Augustus's face was occasionally illuminated by lasers from his own gun turrets and enemy warships, even so he still had time to straighten his collar wrinkled from running.In the eyes of Kerrigan and others, Augustus's cold gray eyes were fixed on the still standing outside the porthole of the bridge.

"Major Charles, can't establish a communication link with the Hyperion?" Augustus looked at Charles and said.

"The signal has been interfered. Our technicians are trying to re-establish the connection." Charles thought for a moment that his old boss, Arcturus Mengsk, was standing there, but the young man looked ten years ago. scene.

It took Charles a few seconds to realize that although the young man in front of him had Arcturus' cool gray eyes and gray hair, he was a different person entirely.The members of the Mengsk family seem to have a natural leadership temperament. In any era, they are pioneers, political leaders or generals of the army.

"Augustus, how are you doing there?" Raynor's face appeared on the main screen of the Iron Justice bridge, and the worry on his face disappeared after seeing that Augustus was safe and sound.

"I have a little trouble." When Augustus spoke, Reynolds could still see the deck shaking under his feet.

"Jim, turn on the fleet-wide radio channel."

"Okay, turn on the channel of the whole fleet, our marshal wants to give an order." Renault looked to the side: "Swan, find a way to make this old ship go faster, you can do it."

"I'm Augustus Mengsk, and I'm on the Iron Justice. Now, the entire fleet assembles to me!" His voice sounded on the channel of the entire fleet, and an immediate response was received.

Jim Raynor's Hyperion had already accelerated towards the Iron Justice the moment the Federation fleet appeared. More than [-] frigates, destroyers and Umoyan cruisers formed a sharp knife formation below the Hyperion, hundreds of Small and medium-sized ships surrounded the capital ships, and the distance between the first and last battleships was more than two miles.

"Haha—it's a bit like your brother Arcturus." Major Charles seemed to be in a joking mood: "If he didn't have to go to the fringe world to dig crystal mines, he should be in this position now. "

"At that time, Dai and I thought it was unbelievable, but no one could convince him."

"Arcturs has always been like this, and sometimes even his mother can't persuade him, and only Dorothy can change his mind," replied Augustus.

"What's going on here? I said Brother Warfield, anyone with a discerning eye can see that these bastards came after you." At this time, Tychus on the side spoke his sweet words to convince the people again The machine gun didn't know which direction to shoot.

"Duke probably caught up with you two weeks ago, but has not launched an attack. Not only do you know nothing, you must have exposed the location of the staging area."

"It seems that the Alpha Squadron has been closely following us, and the communication channels between them have been silent all the time. Perhaps our communication has already been monitored." Warfield's face sank, and he realized that this was own huge mistake.

Although Edmund Duke has always shown an image of being irritable and reckless and lacking in strategic foresight, it is not entirely due to the prestige of the Duke family, the founding family of Tarsonis, and his uniqueness. The rare courage to be different and to go forward in everything.

When Warfield was still charging on the ground, Duke had already led the fleet to cruise in the Koprulu sector.In terms of fleet warfare, Warfield, who was born in the Marine Corps, is a layman after all.

"It sounds like that Edmund played you around, but after all, their people have spent half their lives in space." Tychus was reassuring, but his voice sounded excited.

"I've wanted to punch his old face for a long time~ It's fair and aboveboard, you don't need to violate military discipline, and you don't need to go to prison."

"He thinks he is sure of winning, but we still have the Hyperion and other warships, and the current strength ratio is two to two." Warfield will not be panicked by this matter, he has experienced far more dangerous scenes than this .

As if in response to Warfield's words, three battlecruisers of the same level appeared on the radar map of the Iron Justice Star Chart, accompanied by more than [-] escort warships and spaceships of various types. His dark face seemed to turn green.

"It's hard to say." Tychus lit a cigar as usual, and he said as he blew the smoke into his armor: "It's five to two now, if you say a few more words, we will be killed by ourselves." Bad luck."

"Mengsk, what can you do." After he finished speaking, he looked at Augustus: "We can't stand here and wait. Being beaten is not something I like to do."

"Major Charles, can you get close to Norad II, the flagship of Alpha Squadron, and find a way to dock in the port." Augustus said.

"Honestly speaking, it's extremely difficult without the cooperation of the opponent." Charles said calmly: "It depends on whether our pilots are skilled and can cut into the enemy fleet as accurately as a scalpel." , to control a one-third-mile-long gigantic battleship parallel to the enemy ships and aimed at the port amidst the dense enemy barrage."

"Unless Duke has this plan too."

"Then please tell me if the pilot of the Iron Justice can complete this task." Augustus said.

"Of course, we have the best pilots in the Federation." Charles said in the command channel of the Iron Justice: "Starboard 15°, advance at full speed, immediately charge the main ship's guns, and all guns are aimed at Alpha Squadron's flagship Nora Germany II. All crew members put on space combat suits and fasten their safety belts."

"Get ready for impact!"

"Meet the impact?" Tychus looked at the porthole suspiciously, and by comparing the positions of the stars and other warships, he was able to find that the Iron Justice was heading towards the Norad II at an extremely fast speed.

When the Iron Justice was advancing at full speed, a number of Avenger fighter planes quickly passed under the battleship, like arrows leaving the string, and the distant fighter jets sprayed out ice-blue wakes, like disappearing starlight.

"Don't tell me you want to play bumper cars."

Contrary to Tychus' expectations, Duke's car Norad II did not make any tactical evasion actions. It seems that the experienced fleet captain did not think that the Iron Justice could defeat the firepower of his own fleet. Next to the bridge close to him, or he himself is more willing to touch the bayonet with the enemy.

"How arrogant, Duke."

"I will command the combat troops—I will personally defeat Edmund Duke on the deck of the Norad II." Warfield turned and left the bridge after saying these words.

"He didn't know that Duke's fleet was following him." After Warfield left, Kerrigan walked up to Augustus and whispered: "I can see the hatred for the federal government in his heart." , but Warfield is not loyal to you or your father now, he is just disappointed with the federal government."

"Don't doubt Warfield, he will always be my friend." Augustus then said to Charles: "Major, you are in charge here."

"Anyway, that's my duty." Charles looked at Augustus and said, "Although I'd rather charge with a gun."

"I almost forgot what you used to do."

"An old friend is here, of course we must treat him well," Tychus said to Charles before leaving with his heavy machine gun on his shoulder.

"This is how the Revolutionary Army treats guests."

Since the first minute, such tremors and shaking have become more and more ordinary. The surface of this giant steel ship armed with heavy armor and heavy artillery is covered with black marks, and the molten deck is recondensed in the cold space.

As the No. 1 armor of the ground-to-ground laser gun group on the port side was completely penetrated, the explosion ignited the oxygen in the crew rest cabin, and the hot and gorgeous open flames were released. They suffocated to death within a short period of time, and their body fluids boiled due to the lower boiling point caused by the low pressure, and finally gradually turned into frozen corpses.

When the engineers arrived and carried out emergency repairs, the flames had disappeared due to the extremely reduced oxygen, and the air was filled with the stench of burning and toxic gases, making it impossible to breathe.

The Iron Justice wobbled forward, and the sirens could be heard in all the passages. Charles kept ordering engineers to repair each cabin in the channel, or let the crew take refuge in a safe cabin.

The fighters of the Keha Revolutionary Army crossed the dense barrage at high speed and launched a suicidal attack on the Federation Fleet. Among these fighters were civilian airships with no armor and only small-caliber laser cannons, as well as Tyrannian Federation Avengers. With Wraith Fighter.

As long as the fighter planes modified from civilian spaceships are hit, there is absolutely no possibility of surviving, but the victory lies in the large number and fast speed, as many as more than 2000 planes.

Those who drive these fighters are the young people who are called the most desperate generation on Korha IV. The people here are all from families with non-only children. The emperor dug a grave and buried his suicide note.

Thus, these people have a name that belongs to them all: the fireflies of Cannis.

Courage and incomparable willpower could not protect these "Sons of Keha". When they approached the Norad II, they were shot down in pieces, turning into bright clusters of light that suddenly appeared.

The pilots of the fighters were either vaporized in the laser beams with the fighters in an instant, or died in pain enough to make the hardiest men scream before the flames consumed the air.

These people were told that their death would bring Korhal IV's new life, so they died generously.

Umoyan's "Wraith Fighter" version of the edge fighter has attracted more attention from the Federation Fleet with its classic inner arc wings and plasma propulsion. These faster and more sensitive fighters depend on the pilot. With the most advanced optical reactor and intelligent auxiliary program to avoid dense barrage.

In the field of research and development and manufacturing of small fighters, especially unmanned carrier-based aircraft, Umoyan is going to surpass the Tyrann Federation.

On the space battlefield intertwined with brilliant light and death, Iron Justice, a battlecruiser with multiple damaged tails and flames, still rushed towards Norad II under the cover of Hyperion and its affiliated fleet.

At this moment, the interior corridors and elevators of the No. [-] docking cabin are full of rows of marines wearing silver-gray power armor running forward.

The paint on the armor of these Marines has changed from the time of the Federation, replaced by the logo of the eagle and the head of the wolf, which has become the symbol of these renegade people.

Augustus, who was wearing the same power armor, walked from the docking cabin to the docking port with Warfield, Tychus, and Kerrigan holding a C-10 rifle. The warning signs in white characters on the wall told Augustus Beyond the airlock in front of him was space.

Violent tremors kept coming, and Augustus seemed to be standing on a boiling stove.

At some point, the tremor seemed to subside for a brief moment, and then Augustus felt the ship pick up speed again.

"Activate the gravity generators of the power boots, and hold on to walls, handrails, and anything you can hold on to!" Warfield yelled over his command channel.

"Get ready for impact!"

Augustus immediately gripped the armrest, his other hand tightly wrapped around Kerrigan's.

Accompanied by the dazzling light spots that Augustus could not see, the ear-piercing friction sound between the battlecruiser's armor and the shaking of the earth and mountains coming from the main structure.Augustus realized that the Iron Justice was clinging to the side of the Norad II, scraping the armor of the enemy ship, like two pieces of soap that were screaming harshly.

"All ready." When the Iron Justice stopped again and stood still, Warfield said while looking at the docking port exit airlock that was slowly opening.

"Come on, I can't wait." Tychus chewed on his cigar.

"The fun is about to begin."
