StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 142
Amid the hissing sound of high-pressure gas deflation, the airlock door opened in response.

In this instant, it seemed as if a thousand Gauss rifles and heavy machine guns were firing at the same time, and the dense spike bullets hit the power armor of the marines at the front with a ping-pong-pong sound.The bounced bullets shattered the lighting facilities in the docking port, and the flames of the Gauss rifle dispelled the darkness again in the reflection of the firelight.

The space in the docking port is small, and only a few heavily armed marines can stand side by side between the bulkheads.When hundreds of people are crowded in the passage, just one electromagnetic grenade can have a miraculous effect.

There are no tactics or retreats in this interstellar-age gang war. The two sides are fighting hand-to-hand in space. Almost every few feet of the battle line has a dead marine. The bulkheads are full of deep bullet holes. .

Warfield's Department in silver-gray armor and the bright white Alpha Squadron fired at a distance of only a dozen yards, and the electromagnetic pulse of the electromagnetic grenade spread like a thunder snake inside the tunnel.

These two troops are iron-blooded divisions known for their daring to fight, just like the commander of Alpha Squadron Edmund Duke, the "Alpha Blood Eagle" is fierce and bloodthirsty, whenever someone from Alpha Squadron joins the battle , They can always open a gap from the enemy's seemingly impenetrable defense line like an eagle tearing a piece of meat.

In just 2 minutes, with the rounds of charges launched by Warfield's troops, more than 100 marines died on both sides.People kept falling, and more soldiers took their place.

Alpha Squadron has always maintained superior fire suppression, firmly guarding the docking port passage.

The passageway of the docking port is full of dense bullet screens, like hot metal heat flow.At this time Augustus was leaning against the walls on either side of the airlock door, and Warfield was standing beside him.

After Warfield was about to lead the troops to charge again but was repelled by the heavy firepower of the Alpha Squadron, Augustus said loudly on the communication channel: "Tychus, find a way to open this docking port."

"Get out of the way!" Due to his tall stature and the fact that he is the capable general of Marshal Augustus, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Tychus Finlay's power armor was specially customized and upgraded.On his red armor painting, there are several naked graffiti of Turasis II, Korha IV, and Tarsonis beauties, and on his right shoulder is the hooded skull logo of the Demon of Heaven.

Tychus threw his heavy machine gun to the ground, took a huge new synthetic resin shield and a few electromagnetic grenades from a soldier of the Revolutionary Army, and rushed into the docking port channel with the people behind him. The boots stepped on the bullets and corpses rolling in the passage and ran roaringly, like a magnetic levitation train with a speed of hundreds of miles per hour, which was unstoppable.

The Federation soldiers of the Alpha Squadron seemed to be taken aback by Tychus' astonishing aura, and it was too late to use the grenade launcher, but the dense nail-shooting bullets still penetrated Tychus' shield in a few seconds. Its power armor, which was polished with oil by Fick, the exclusive armor technician of the Demon of Heaven, was immediately covered with dense scratches.

But Tychus's power armor is not only thicker and stronger than ordinary power armor, it has a stainless steel coating on the outside, and is embedded with cushioning foam and partitions, which means that Tychus's own power armor has been able to compete with firebats. The armor is comparable, even able to withstand a grenade or two.

The distance was only twenty or so yards in detail. Tychus, who was wearing power armor, only took a few steps to reach the entrance of the Norad II docking cabin door and threw several electromagnetic grenades in succession. The Alpha Squadron's defensive line was immediately filled with blue arcs of lightning.

Immediately afterwards, Tychus used the broken shield in his hand to push away an Alpha Squadron soldier standing in front of him without slowing down, and threw another enemy soldier to the ground, like jumping into a herd of deer tiger.The surrounding Alpha soldiers did not dare to shoot Tychus for a while because they were worried about accidentally injuring their teammates.

"Follow me!" Warfield led his men to follow Tychus.

"Well done, Tychus." Augustus followed Warfield closely, saying that Tychus was indeed a man born from heaven.

Warfield's troops broke into the docking port of the Norad II and swept away the remaining Alpha soldiers like autumn leaves. The soldiers chose to retreat.

"Warfield, to catch up with me, your men will have to practice for another two years." After snatching the enemy's rifle and smashing the opponent's helmet with the butt, Tychus said to Warfield proudly.

"It's true that my people can't keep up with you." Warfield stretched out his hand and pulled Tychus up.

"You look better to me than all your colleagues...at least for now." Tychus retrieved his Sweet Talking Persuader heavy machine gun from one of the marines.

There are still two fleet passages to go from the docking port to the lower deck, but Alpha Squadron did not use this to deploy defenses.At the orders of their commander, they quickly assembled on the much wider lower deck and dock.

It was another bitter battle to seize the lower deck. There were nearly [-] heavily armed Alpha Squadron soldiers, Goliath armed robots, and even arc tanks. The fierce battle almost penetrated the lower deck of Norad II.

In order to prevent soldiers on other warships of the Federation Fleet from passing through the port of Norad II for reinforcements, four companies under Warfield's command went to seize the docks and mooring ports on both sides of the lower deck.

The rest of the soldiers entered the narrow and narrow passage of the Norad through the hatch that was blown open. Under the leadership of the backbone officers, the small teams went to the engine room, the life support unit and the large number of terminal computers and processors. main control room.

At the same time, Warfield and Augustus had already led an assault team straight to the bridge. At this time, nearly 10 minutes had passed since the docking of the Iron Justice and the Norad II.Fierce battles were still erupting in space. In the continuous explosions, the warships and fighter planes of both sides were completely kicked out of the battlefield or floated without power.

Leading the charge, Tychus and Warfield broke through Alpha Squadron's defenses one by one, but were held back from the bridge by a company of Edmund Duke's.

Augustus was immobilized by the dense barrage of automaton turrets and Gauss rifles, and had to retreat after leaving behind a few corpses.

During the interval between Alpha Squadron firing, Warfield personally led a group of subordinates to launch a charge, but in the face of powerful machine guns, grenades, and even shoulder-fired rockets, even the thick armor pieces of power armor couldn't stand it. Intensive strafing.

Warfield could only retreat again, and the bullet left more marks on his silver-gray command armor.As Warfield led his troops again, Augustus realized that he would keep attacking, attack after attack, until he defeated the enemy.This is Warfield's usual way of fighting, very much like a seasoned boxer.

"We can't delay here for too long." Warfield said: "Catch the thief first, and the king will be captured first. Only by capturing Duke can we force the federal fleet to retreat."

"Tychus!" cried Augustus.

"Shit, there are at least ten heavy machine guns and cannons on the opposite side. If you want me to die, just say so." Tychus cursed.

"Kerrigan, kill their commander and keep the highest rank." Augustus said after a moment of silence.

"You can read their voices, and you know who is in command, even without a rank. Then, you know how to control these people."

The invisible Ghost agent Sarah Kerrigan responded with a precise snipe, and an Alpha Squadron lieutenant fell the moment the gunfire rang out, bloody and bloody behind the matte visor. The 25mm canister bullet not only penetrated the helmet, but also smashed the opponent's head into a pile of mud.

But this sniping did not attract the attention of other officers. They did not find the invisible ghost agent, but thought that the lieutenant was just hit by a stray bullet unfortunately.

Warfield led the troops to attack again after a short rest. Kerrigan took this opportunity to snipe and kill the officers who appeared one by one, and the formation of Alpha Squadron suddenly became a little chaotic.

Still, resocialized soldiers who lost their commanders carried out orders to shoot them, and when their commanders asked them to do just one thing, the neuromodified soldiers tended to do well.

The only difference is that they can't deal with special situations - such as Kerrigan using telekinetic power to control the last senior officer of Alpha Squadron, ordering them to drop their weapons through his mouth.

Some of the resocialized soldiers immediately complied with the order while others were confused by the conflicting order, but when a group of marines rushed towards them roaring, it was enough to cause their defenses to collapse .

When Augustus shot and killed a resocialized soldier, Tychus had already grabbed a heavy machine gun from the Alpha Squadron and began to straf the enemy. call.The blood flowed wantonly like waves hitting the ship's plank on the ocean.

After clearing away the enemies, Augustus and Warfield led dozens of marines and charged into the bridge when the blasters who arrived blew up the gate of the bridge.

"Hands up, Duke." Augustus raised his Gauss rifle.

However, there were no one else inside the bridge except a few navigators and engineers. Just as Augustus expected, Duke had already fled or was not on his flagship at all.

"Duke, you're such a coward!" Warfield didn't find him on the bridge.

"Edmund, he's gone." Tychus walked up to an Alpha Squadron navigator whose fingers were trembling uncontrollably, and pointed a gun at his forehead.

"Where did that damn beast Edmund go? You just need to answer where it is." Tychus put down the helmet visor of his power armor, showing a ferocious expression.

"Squeak when you understand."

"Colonel Duke is not here." The navigator was a young man with blond hair. He was used to the data on the radar scanning chart, but he had never encountered this kind of formation.

"Where the hell is he then? Do you think my gun is merciful?" Tychus pulled the trigger only to find that the gun was out of bullets, so he decided to spare the other man's life mercifully.

"He's on board the Napoleon," added the navigator hastily.

"It looks like we robbed the wrong ship." Tychus patted the navigator on the shoulder, until he gasped for breath: "Son, you are ours now. Keep sailing, or my bullets But no eyes."

At this time, the hull of the Norad II began to shake, and Augustus had already issued an order that the fleet was not allowed to attack the Norad II during the gang battle.Now that this is the case, it is now obvious who is launching the attack.

"Establish a communication link with the Napoleon immediately," Augustus said to the bewildered navigator.

"Yes, sir." After a short but intense thought struggle, the navigator wisely chose between treason and survival.

The communication application was approved immediately, and a federal officer with a diamond-shaped head was staring at Augustus on the opposite side of the screen. He was wearing a large power armor, and a golden ribbon was hung on the extremely wide shoulder armor.

"You lost, Mengsk," said Edmund Duke.

"Are you going to destroy the thousands of Alpha Squadron soldiers on the Norad II together with us?" Augustus looked at the screen calmly.

"Even if I don't do this, they won't survive." Duke shook his head and said, "Don't forget who they died for."

"Do you think why the Norad II didn't turn on the shield force field? It's to save 'fuel'? I know your intentions very well—but, I didn't think you could win at first." He said: " In my opinion, you are courting death."

"As long as I can kill you, son of Angus Mengsk, the former leader of the Demon of Heaven, I don't mind buying a new flagship and a new crew. Do you understand? Mengsk, you are worth the price. "

"We once fought side by side, and in the rest of the time. Every time he sees the medal of valor that he got because of you, General Duke will recall the extraordinary years."

"You have plenty of chances to see me again." Augustus turned off the communication with a wave of his right hand, and personally sent an application for a communication link with the Iron Justice and the Hyperion.

Waiting for a response, Warfield asked Augustus, "It sounds like Duke is going to take the Norad II with us?"

"He's bluffing," Augustus said. "We've got plenty of opportunities to force the jump before Duke's fleet destroys the Norad II."

On the main screen, Augustus called up the index display of the battlecruiser's shield energy: "As Duke said, the shield energy value of the Norad II is almost full, enough to jump withstand the enemy's attack."

After more than ten seconds, the pictures sent back by the cameras of the other two battlecruisers appeared on the main screen.Among them, the Iron Justice was seriously damaged, while the Hyperion, which had been dealing with other warships of the Federation Fleet under the driving of Raynor, was not seriously injured.

"You took the Norad II?" Reynolds said, "Augustus, brother, that sounds cool. It's a pity I didn't fight with you."

"Where's that guy Duke?" Charles asked.

"Duke is not on this ship." Augustus shook his head: "He is more cunning than he shows."

"Now, all ships leave the battle immediately. Activate the shields and prepare for the space jump to 418."
