StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 155 Let Tarsonis Burn
The Norad II's propeller spewed hot orange plasma flames, and the long wake reflected the armor surface of the fleet behind it in orange.Behind the majestic and wide ship Norad II are six iron-gray behemoth-class battlecruisers. These seven battlecruisers, headed by Norad, formed a perfect piercing sharp knife formation.

The lower left and lower right are respectively the Hyperion and Iron Justice fleets running side by side. Together with Warfield's seven Leviathan-class battlecruisers, 26 giant steel ships are heading towards the tower in the silence of the electronic communication channel. Sonny's main star advances.

The small and medium-sized battleships and starfighters escorting the fleet's battleship formation accompanied the fleet. From time to time, several fighter planes left the fleet to expel the federal reconnaissance planes that were rapidly approaching their own fleet.

The slowly rotating turrets, white alphanumeric armor, and clean portholes of these battlecruisers are all brand new.Every battlecruiser is a majestic giant ship, enough to rain death on any rebellious colonial world. Orbital bombing with nuclear weapons can flatten mountains and rivers, dry up rivers and seas, and make a garden world suitable for human habitation Become a scorched wasteland.

There was no communication signal between battleships, and all the channels remained silent, as if what was sailing towards Tarsonis was not a huge fleet but cold and speechless steel coffins.The Tyrannian Federation government tried its best to transfer the economic recession brought about by the war to every citizen of the Federation, and accumulated funds for casting these battlecruisers through heavy taxes and plunder.

Now, these warships are being used by the Revolutionary Army of the Mengsk family against themselves.

"...We are still 200 million miles away from the main star of Tarsonis, and the Tarsonis galaxy fleet is right in front of us."

"The dock of the Norad II has been opened, and the formation of Avenger fighter jets and Wraith fighter jets is being ejected. Umoyan's unmanned interceptor jet fleet has passed the final safety test and can be put into battle immediately."

"The 321st Marine Corps of the Revolutionary Army and the 2st Brigade of the 1nd Airborne Division are on standby on the [-]st, [-]th, and [-]th decks. The lower decks call the bridge, and we can drop landing troops to Tarsonis at any time."

"Full of energy, you can open the shield."

On the bridge of the Norad II, there were about [-] to [-] officers and technicians talking loudly, but the scene did not seem so chaotic because of this. Everyone had a clear division of labor and knew what they should do and when and where say.

The center of these soldiers and crew is Augustus Mengsk in a dark gray military overcoat. He is the backbone of the entire bridge and the Norad II. The Revolutionary Army soldiers of Gustus will be motivated to fight just by looking at him.

At this time, the main star of Tarsonis was getting closer and closer to the Norad II, and the green planet was shrouded in bright starlight. On the main screen of the bridge, some light spots amplified by sensors represented the arrival federal fleet.

"They must have been caught off guard," said Sarah Kerrigan, standing behind Augustus. "Even people who are taken aback should be taken aback."

"Let's wait and see." Augustus said to another adjutant beside him: "Connect to the federal communication channel that has been intercepted and deciphered."

The reason why Augustus’ Revolutionary Army Fleet was able to intercept and decipher the encrypted communications of the Federal Army all depended on Umoyan’s powerful deciphering technology and the confidential information of the Federal Communication Code obtained by the agents of the National Defense Army.And these were all used without exception to help the Revolutionary Army establish their own intelligence network, and a large number of sophisticated and cutting-edge monitoring equipment and technical personnel were sent to Keha IV.

As early as 70 years or even longer ago, when the Tyranid Federation first proposed to establish a coalition government that would unify the human regimes in the three Koprulu sectors, the governments of Umoyan and Moria realized that there was a hidden human unity Ambition under this ridiculous reason.

The former spent a lot of time building a spy intelligence network that infiltrated Tarsonis' power network, while the latter didn't think that Tarsonis sissy could beat a tough miner.

To this day, due to the fact that there have only been a few border conflicts with little or no loss of personnel, the Tyrann Federation still does not know that Umoyan has deciphered the encryption mode of their communication channel, and it is very likely that they are listening openly The federal major seized the communication network of the command center and had a love conversation with his new wife.

And the ending of the Moria people can be imagined, they not only lost the war, but also suffered a crushing defeat.

"Here is the outpost of Haisenlan. They have [-] Behemoth-class battlecruisers and seven Leviathan-class battlecruisers, and more than a thousand Avenger fighters." Several voices rang on the bridge of the Norad II at the same time. an audio signal on a monitored Federal Communications Channel.

"I am the command center of the first orbital defense platform, who are they?"

"The Rebels—the Rebel Fleet. If it wasn't for the Rebels, I'd boil and swallow Aunt Merry's leather boots. That's the equivalent of a squadron and a half. God, if I hadn't been drinking too much Ordering a cocktail is blinding. Goodbye sir, we must retreat."

"I see. Stick to your posts, or I'll send you to court martial."

Amidst a harsh electrical noise, a distorted shout could be heard on another channel: "Rebels, it's the Keha people. I can recognize the markings on those battleships."

"Fuck, this must be some stupid April Fool's joke. Now I'm going to sleep for a while, I played with that bitch in the zero-gravity chamber yesterday, and you should try that too. Daniel, I will Let her come to you, lest you be surprised."

Then there was a bang and a dazed scream, and Augustus believed that the drunk radar monitor of the orbital monitoring station had been beaten by his superiors.

Then there was another communication channel, and the access source showed that they were two Leviathan-class battlecruisers cruising between the outer galaxy and the main star in the Tarsonis galaxy according to a fixed route.These two Leviathan-class battlecruisers were far behind the Behemoth-class battlecruisers of the modern era due to their aging years. The technicians under Augustus quickly deciphered the encrypted communication code between them .

"Ah, there are rebels everywhere, what a ghost." A captain of a Federation Leviathan-class battlecruiser said, "But where is our fleet?"

"Stop them, don't let those Keha people do evil in the Tarsonis galaxy, they should go back to their hometown in the backcountry."

The communication between the two Leviathan-class battlecruisers disappeared again. Obviously, the artificial intelligence on the ship changed the identification code of the encrypted communication channel according to the fixed operating procedure, and the technicians under Augustus wanted to Deciphering it again will take a certain amount of time.

"Haven't intercepted the assembly signal sent by Tarsonis to other fleets?"

"No, sir." A technical soldier replied: "We have not intercepted such encrypted signals. The constantly changing communication code is hidden among millions of codes, but it is also possible that we missed it."

"Impossible to miss." Augustus said: "If the Federation Council is already in a hurry, they will definitely send out distress signals without interruption. Always monitor the communication channel of Tarsonis, and don't miss any one that may cause serious damage to the battle situation." Communications with big impact."

Augustus listened to a few more communications from outposts in the Tarsonis system and habitation stations on several planets in orbit. He quickly realized that the Federation Council did not expect the Revolutionary Army fleet to raid the Delarian shipbuilding. Immediately after the factory rushed to Tarsonis.

But as long as there is any general in the federal army with a clear mind and even a little bit of strategic foresight, then he should realize that the Tarsonis galaxy lacks barriers and defenses, and the obvious and terrifying emptiness is evident in the star map. above.

The monitored channels of the Tarsonis Planetary Orbital Defense Force, the space station, and the orbital defense platform showed that the federal army that was supposed to defend Tarsonis was in chaos.Thousands of signal transmission sources outside the Army and Fleet system called the Federal Navy Command to ask what happened.

"Andrea Tagore and her Federal Council are really calm. She should know that Tarsonis even lacks a marshal who can command the entire army—unless those retired old people are pushed to the foreground. Augustus shook his head, turned off all monitoring channels, but let the monitors pay attention and report key information at any time.

At this time, as the Revolutionary Army fleet headed by the Norad II got closer and closer to the main star of Tarsonis, the Federation fleet composed of nine Federation battlecruisers could already be detected on the bridge radar scanning map.The warships of the two fleets were about ten miles apart. At such a distance, the missiles and space torpedoes were the first to leave the cabin, followed by the barrage of laser beams all over the sky.

This is obviously the majority of the warships that Tarsonis can use in a short period of time, because most of them should have been sent to scrap iron recycling foundries or displayed in museums and naval officer schools. The column of cruisers was also pulled out.

Leading the flagship of the Federation Fleet was the famous Leviathan-class battlecruiser Hutt, which was widely praised for destroying two Kel-Morian Federation battlecruisers and an interceptor carrier.

However, after receiving two heavy damages, the Hutt had to return to the Bennett Orbital Shipyard in Tarsonis for repairs. With the next update, this battleship that once made the Kymerian people fearful cannot escape the fate of being eliminated.

The Korhal Revolutionary Army Fleet and the Federation Fleet opened fire while accelerating their approach. Between the staggered barrages of the two sides were countless interstellar fighters that quickly shuttled between them. The warships of the Revolutionary Army jumped out of the channel and joined the battlefield.

What stood in front of Augustus was a majestic and magnificent scene. This was the collision between fleets. Cannonballs and laser weapons burst into thousands of hot and bright flames on the armor of the battleship. Every fighter jet exploded The point of light on Norad II's main screen is like a short-lived supernova.

After a moment of dazzling brilliance, the flagship of the Federation Fleet, the Hutt, was hit by a round of concentrated fire from the Revolutionary Army fleet.This famous battlecruiser that once destroyed a colony on the fringes of the Kel-Morian Federation and left a nightmare memory for the Kel-Morians was burning in the sky, accompanied by lighting up in a few seconds. The incandescence of the entire Norad II bridge turned into tens of thousands of torn apart steel fragments.

About [-] to [-] soldiers of the Federation Fleet became a cloud of smoke in an instant, and died in not-so-short pain.

The two fleets collided No. 14 minutes after they opened fire on each other. The outer battleships and fighter planes overlapped each other. The earth-shattering explosion of each battlecruiser was accompanied by bright lights and blue electric pulses.

After the fourth federal battlecruiser was kicked out of the battlefield, the listeners on the Norad II connected to a third-level encrypted communication channel that Augustus had been looking forward to for a long time.

"Soldiers of the Tyrann Federation, I am Benson Tagore, Chief Speaker of the Federal Parliament. Tarsonis is being attacked by the rebels, and the defense fleet has been hit. According to the Federal Parliament's Agreement No. 99, I represent the Federal Parliament and what he represents The people of the Commonwealth ask of you."

"All fleets, return to Tarsonis immediately!"

"Do well, Speaker Benson." Augustus laughed, and many people on the bridge could hear his hearty laughter.

"Kehal IV is saved." Kerrigan, who was looking at Augustus, also smiled.Although she didn't hold out much hope that Korhal IV could hold on for so many days, it would be too late to break the siege of Korhal by then.

"It's not over yet." Augustus pulled down the brim of his wide-brimmed military cap, and the expression on his face looked like a villain rather than a leader of the Revolutionary Army: "It's not over yet, Andrea Tagore."

"The superiors of those soldiers didn't tell them that the Delarian shipyard was attacked by us, and a large number of warships were stolen." He suppressed his smile: "Someone must have blocked the news, but the Federation Council must have been informed of what happened in the Delarian galaxy. what."

"But they don't know where we will go next." He faced the brilliant starlight outside the porthole: "No one dares to say which galaxy the rebel fleet will go to next. Some people may believe that we will attack Tarsonis, but he did not let The people of Tarsonis are ready for a war."

"Regardless of whether anyone has suggested that Tarsonis' defense should be strengthened, if the Federation is recalling its fleet in the entire Koprulu sector to strengthen the defense of the homeland, that is exactly what we want. If they have not If you can't react, I'll set Tarsonis on fire."

"Mengsk, I can't wait." At this moment, Tychus Finley appeared on a main screen next to Augustus, Tychus was wearing power armor, and behind him was a heavily armed revolutionary army sergeant.

"Tychus is coming. And it's time for those Tarsonis bastards to run away."

"Don't get dizzy." Augustus scolded him, "Remember what the order is?"

"Landing." Tychus said: "Doing so while the three orbital platforms of Tarsonis and the ground orbital anti-aircraft artillery network is still in operation is undoubtedly a dead end. Only about 20%~30% of the troops can reach the surface. .”

"But this is our task. We want to let the Tarsonis know that the revolutionary army has reached their doorstep." Tychus didn't seem at all frightened by what he just said: "This way the nobles and The bureaucrats will be more urgent to ask the fleet to return to Tarsonis."

"The target is the military installations and scientific research stations in the city of Tarsonis, and to capture the Federation's armed manufacturing map. In addition, we also need to destroy the star ports and suspension train tracks on the surface of the planet Tarsonis as much as possible, so that the Federation There is no way to project force quickly," Tychus said.

"If possible, we'll rush into the city to snatch some noble ladies."

"I didn't say that last sentence." Augustus turned around and his eyes fell on Tychus: "As long as you don't accidentally hurt civilians, then I don't mind you doing that. But no one can jump over me I give you this order, do you understand?"

"You didn't say that." Tychus lit a cigar. "But I figured, if I were you, I would do it."

"Those nobles, I'm afraid they haven't been beaten by his father Tychus since they were young." He chewed the cigar in his mouth, closed his mask and said.

"Let Tarsonis burn!"
