StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 143 Jump
"This is Iron Justice, we are heading to the designated jump site." The head of Major Charles appeared on an idle holographic projection screen.

In the images sent back by the Norad II armor sensor and the Iron Justice, Augustus could see the whole picture of the scarred battleship.

The brown-black armor is densely covered with traces of burning, melting, and tearing, and some shocking scars even penetrate deep into the deck layer. Fragments of fine steel and alloy are gradually peeled off as the battleship moves like dandelions being blown away.

These fragments floating unpowered in deep space will eventually become the target of interstellar scavengers. The wreckage from the battlecruiser-even a piece of armor plate under the laser gun group can sell for a good price, and those still The fragments moving at high speed to the inside and outside of the galaxy at the initial velocity are captured by the gravity of asteroids, comets and even stars in the Suoyan galaxy.

At this moment, the distance between the Norad II and the Iron Justice and the Tyrannian Federation fleet headed by Napoleon was less than half a mile away.Hundreds of ship-borne laser cannon groups and electromagnetic cannons poured on the shield defense force fields and armor of both sides, and the orange-red beams rippled violently on the dark green energy shields.

The naval guns were raging, and each brilliant fireball was a destroyed battleship, and the scattered and distorted alloy fragments were like light spots falling into the galaxy.

The carrier-based aircraft of the Iron Justice are leaving the battlefield at full speed and heading towards the mother ship. These fighters are less than one-tenth of what they were when they left the dock launch port. Tossing and dodging, avoiding the anti-air laser cannon and Gemini star air-to-air missile of the enemy Wraith fighter.

The Keha Revolutionary Army fleet has lost nine frigates, four destroyers, and two Umoyan Reagan cruisers, less than one-third of about 2000 medium-sized raid ships, and more than [-] ships driven by a single pilot. Only about [-] of the single-engine fighters, patrol boats, and assault boats were left even with the damaged ones.

This means that between 10 and [-] Revolutionary Army fighters were killed and many more were injured in just four to [-] minutes of fighting.

"I'm Jim, it's 3:43 a.m. Tarsonis time, and the Hyperion's shield is less than 20% left." Raynor's head was enlarged as he spoke.

"All members of the First Fleet of the Revolutionary Army are ready to follow the flagship's jump, guys, sit tight."

"Sir, there are still five seconds left for the warp drive to recharge." The navigators and technicians of the Norad II have devoted themselves to their new jobs. After all, no one can , what tricks to play when there are at least a dozen guns pointed at him behind him.

Even at this time, most of the interior decks and cabins of the Norad II were fiercely contested, but the dock and engine room were still in the hands of Augustus.

"Now start counting down tens of seconds and listen to my instructions to prepare for the jump." Augustus stared at the time and seconds on the main screen of the bridge.

Just at this time, a Federation Behemoth-class battlecruiser jumped over the severely damaged Goliath-class frigates No. II and No. IV after a short jump. The flaming battleship, the artillery fire of the ground-to-ground laser artillery group poured on the broken armor of the frigate.

In just two or three seconds, the Giant-class frigate II was completely penetrated, and the interior of the ship immediately became a hell on earth. It is spit out from the opening of the hole.

The other battleship was directly divided in two from the middle, like a piece of bread that was broken into two sections. In the huge fracture, countless people and tiny fragments floated out like gravel, floating in space So, from the perspective of Norad II, all this seems to be in slow motion.

Both warships and their more than 900 crew members are forever in history.

"Activate," Augustus said after a deep, heavy breath.

In an instant, with a flash of light, the battlefield and the starry sky on the porthole of the bridge disappeared, and the Norad II had jumped into the hyperspace channel and entered a state of traveling beyond the speed of light.

After one breath, calm was restored on the bridge of the Norad II.According to the preset jump coordinates, Augustus and his newly acquired battleship still need several hours to arrive at the designated coordinates.

"I'll bring someone to clean up the mess." Warfield left with a few officers after saying this, leaving Tychus and Kerrigan to guard Augustus.

"The battle on Turaxis II was nothing compared to this," Tychus said. "The only thing I learned in this war was that we had to have more ships and more ships. gun."

"Battlecruisers are not those Kel-Morian bastards, even if you shoot a shuttle at it, it will be unscathed."

"I also know this truth." When the battleship was still in the state of hyperspace transition, Augustus swiped his fingers across the main screen of Norad II, searching for useful data in this huge database.

The itinerary log of the battleship shows that the Norad II made multiple trips to and from multiple main galaxies within two weeks, and even arrived at a galaxy that is closer to the Korha galaxy with only two stars and a dwarf planet. .This can fully show that Edmund Duke's Alpha Squadron has been only following Warfield's Iron Justice.

"They, Duke must have some way to accurately locate the Iron Justice." Augustus said.

"Because the Iron Justice once belonged to the Tyrann Federation, cutting off all communication connections will not allow this battleship to completely escape the Federation's control. Perhaps in the eyes of the Federation's technicians, the Iron Justice is like a dark night in deep space as bright as the torches in it."

"The Hyperion was also part of the Federation Fleet before, but Duke couldn't track us," Tychus said.

"It is necessary to carry out an all-round overhaul of the Iron Justice. Duke probably located the battleship through some kind of tracking device." Augustus looked at the numb Norad II navigator.

"I wonder if you know more about this, since you are the navigator of this ship."

The navigator looked awkward. In the eyes of this man with a government salary and a decent job, a navigator who can lead the fleet through the dangerous universe will be respected everywhere.He was undoubtedly in the midst of a mob, and Augustus was, of course, the mob chief, the terrorist chief, a rebel leader who had brought countless deaths.

"No, I don't know." The navigator flinched.

"He's lying," Kerrigan told Augustus.

"The Iron Justice has both federal location trackers and spies hidden in Warfield's troops. This is why Duke has been able to track the Warfield battleship."

"Lying will do you no good." Augustus shook his head and said to the astonished navigator, "Because you never know whether I will forgive you next time."
