StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 161 The Son of Keha
2489.7.12, Umoyan, New Steeling.

"This is a long-planned subversive action against the government. The evil and hopeless Angus Mengsk is the leader of the largest cult in the Koprulu Sector. He uses dual poisons both mentally and physically. Five million Kahas, enslaving the devastated Kaha people, forcing them to join their rebel army armed with pamphlets and drugs."

"In this great battle to defend Tarsonis, our brave soldiers fought bloody, shed their last drop of blood to defend Tarsonis, and fought bravely to destroy the rebel forces that threatened the Commonwealth - the following will play "Becoming a Commonwealth" "The Glory of Ourselves", "Our Great Federation", and "Interstellar Boat Song" to commemorate these brave and sacrificed soldiers!"

"Long live the Federation!"

"Changing the channel." Arcturus Mengsk was sitting on an old sofa in a cubicle in New Stilling Town Hall where mines, hard hats and windbreakers were hung from rivets. Sipping the port wine in his glass, in front of him was an LED advertising screen that had been dismantled from the main urban area of ​​Stilling, the capital of Korha. It still played 2D images instead of stereoscopic holographic projections.

The intelligent voice recognition device automatically identified and switched to the next channel according to Arcturus's words. These channels include the UNN universe TV station and local TV stations on multiple Tyrannian federation colonial planets.

"Augusus, the son of Angus, is another leader of their cult. He is the leader of the rebel army. He planned all the terrorist actions against the federal government and federal citizens so far. Augustus should be used madly He is responsible for the killing, and the deaths of more than [-] federal citizens killed in this disaster should be counted on his head."

"Change the channel." Arcturus had a good drinker, but he was obviously a little drunk.The man who shaved and had regular haircuts even in the mines was rarely unshaven, except that these days Arcturus was always unshaven, his greasy brown hair was tangled, and his cold gray eyes appeared. Lots of bloodshot eyes.

"This is Mike Liberty, a reporter from UNN Cosmos TV. At the crash site of the battlecruiser Century Gothic, the shock wave from the explosion destroyed 40.00% of the main buildings in the Queen Mary City area, including the New Lance Cathedral and the Minsk World Trade Tower. Both the roof of the world and Vilia were destroyed in this unprecedented disaster, which is a great loss in human culture."

"——Who wrote the manuscript, how many people have died, and you still care about those historical sites that are less than 100 years old?—Enough, read the manuscript, and I will tell you that this is a live broadcast, and no mistakes are allowed!"

"The fire that spread to Starport, East Wales, Tarsonis, continued until dawn the next day. More than 42 Commonwealth citizens were killed in the attack and 130 million people were disabled with burns of varying degrees. Spokesman for the Federal Ministry of Defence. Propaganda that the fire was set on fire by the Kha rebels at the gas fuel storage well.”

"After the rebels withdrew, the fire fighting work in some areas was still going on in an orderly manner—how did the private fire brigade save them, and where is our army?"

"Change the channel." Arcturus couldn't feel any sympathy for what happened to the Tarsonis, and he even felt very happy.About a week ago, Arcturus, who had returned to the mine on the planet Peak Peak, got the news that Keha had fallen. Although he had been mentally prepared, he was still furious after learning that Keha had been hit by a nuclear attack. .

Keha means a lot to Arcturus, who loves his hometown.Like all members of the Mengsk family, Arcturus loves this beautiful world with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. Even if this planet is really bombed into slag by nuclear bombs, he will rebuild it at all costs .

"The initiator of this terrorist act is Angus Mengsk, and his second son Augustus Mengsk planned this terrorist attack. This criminal family should be responsible for a series of rebellions. Currently, Augustus Du Mengsk's position on the FBI's most wanted list has jumped to the second place, second only to his father." Next, the host of Villidia's main star, Global Television, forcefully accused the numerous atrocities committed by the rebels later added:
"As of today, seven main star worlds have put Angus Mengsk and Augustus Mengsk on the wanted list. If you happen to meet these criminals, please call the police headquarters of the main star of Veritia. We'll transfer you to the Federation Navy—"

"Augustus, the more they hate you and slander you, the more they can prove that you are on the right path." There was no one else around Arcturus, he just said to himself with.

"Umoyan is no longer safe, and the federal ghost agents will find it sooner or later."

Arcturus realized that he was getting deeper and deeper in the rebellion of Keha. His father and brother were both on the most wanted list of the Tyrannian Federation, because the Mengsk family was the leader of the rebellion. leader.After the destruction of Korhal, Arcturus didn't want and didn't think he could stay out of it.

He had expected this day long ago, but he always wanted to escape.No matter what Angus did, he deserved what he deserved, but his mother and sister would definitely be implicated, so Arcturus had to ignore it.

Augustus figured it out earlier than Arcturus himself. Even if they assassinated their father with a single sword, Keha, who was shouting for revolution, would not stop his rebellion.

"Change the channel." Arcturus put down his empty wine glass, took the bottle and was about to refill a glass for himself, but found a shiny hand on his own.

"Chairman Angus's fleet has arrived at the Umoyan Orbital Starport." Juliana Pasteur, dressed in home clothes, an apron and a headscarf, walked in when Arcturus didn't notice— —Even after giving birth to a child, the lithe Juliana can still walk like a cat.

Mother Catherine always hoped that Arcturus could rekindle the fire of love with Julianna.Even after so many years, Julianna still loves the man she entrusted everything to, but Arcturus has long been tired of the game of love.

"Where did he get so many boats?" Arcturus frowned. His complex emotions towards Angus and his inner dignity made him always resist when mentioning this man.

The main reason why Arcturus is still unwilling to join the Keha Revolutionary Army is that he still does not recognize Angus' revolution. This is not just a question of who is right and who is wrong.Ten years ago, Arcturus left home in rebellion against his father and hated the revolution, and now he will not change his view even for the sake of face.

"It is said that the Federal Fleet left in a hurry and left eight battlecruisers unable to jump. The life support systems of several battleships were damaged. The Federation captain asked for help from the Revolutionary Army, so Colonel Rundstein personally He took people to board the battleship in a speedboat."

"Well, what about the soldiers on the battleship? Those captains can be retained." Arcturus asked: "If they didn't dismantle the signal tracking device of the battlecruiser, then the Umoyan Protectorate Army and the Tyrann Federation There is going to be a battle. At that time, we have to find a way to make Umoyan fight with all his strength—"

"The elected parliament will not allow you to intervene." Juliana sat down beside Arcturus and shook her head.

"The members of the parliament are the wisest elders in each administrative region. Some members are even the executive officers and lords of the dominion 100 years ago. They still use the life support cabin to maintain their lives, and they are always watching every resolution passed by the elected parliament. "

"Then Angus is at least an elder." Arcturus stared at Julianna's slender body with bloodshot eyes, but without any lust, as if standing behind Julianna were those white-haired Senator Umoyan.

"Keha has 500 million people in Umoyan, which is equivalent to one percent of Umoyan's population. According to the laws of the Umoyan galaxy, the Keha people should have their own seat."

"Are you willing to let the Keha people become a nation of Umoyan?" Julianna blinked her charming eyes, but Arcturus was not moved at all.

"Why not?" Arcturus stood up, looked condescendingly at Zhulinna who was sitting on the sofa, and said, "We deserve as much rights as we pay. On top of the fleet of the Tyranid Federation. If you see the horror of Keha, you will know what we sacrificed for it."

"Yanwuzhiye is a beautiful grassland that houses the most stunning lake in Quankeha, where the water is azure and at night, schools of silvery lanternfish make it look like it's upside down The sea of ​​stars. But now there is a piece of grass withered and yellow, and the dust raised by the nuclear bomb has a thick layer on the river surface, and now only microorganisms are still alive." Arcturus said: "The maple forest in Stilling buried me of many ancestors, and now there are only thousands of empty tree trunks left."

"Those who stay are dead, patriots and traitors alike. Symbols of House Mengsk, those stillling wolves that prowl the dying forests will soon be turned into monstrosities by nuclear fallout .” He said so, but his voice was still very calm.

"The Federation has turned us all into monsters."

"Everything will be fine." Juliana could feel Arcturus' sadness.

"Of course, I don't expect the Umoyans to be moral, but I have other ways." Arcturus has been drinking all this time, but never let himself get drunk, and he has always maintained a cold sobriety.

"Umoyan is already doing his best to help the people of Keha, the people of Keha, they," Juliana defended Umoyan, who gave birth to her.

"At least they don't look like a group of disheveled refugees, do they?" Arcturus suddenly shook his head at this moment.

If Julianna's father, Elin Pasteur, a member of the Federal Parliament, and the Umoyan Council represented behind him are watching all this, then Arcturus obviously has superb acting skills: "Sorry, it's not your fault, and it's not your fault. It's not Umoyan's fault, and it's not the Angus and Keha people's fault."

"It's the Federation that is wrong, the Federation Parliament and the creation family behind them will die a bad death."

"You should tell the members of the parliament." Julianna blinked playfully, she was still as cute as a girl in love in front of Arcturus.

"Is this the attitude of your council or your father?" Arcturus smiled.

"I eavesdropped on my father's conversation with another congressman, and they agreed to your presence at the next meeting." Juliana whispered.

"Good job!" Arcturus praised Julianna and said, "You didn't disappoint me, Julianna. I saw you at the first sight."

"Oh~ from thousands of Stilling women—that's what you said in your letter." Juliana smacked her lips: "But when we first met, only your mother and sister were present."

"I don't remember that I wrote this letter." Arcturus only spent a quarter of a second searching his mind for a memory of this passage, and then he quickly gave up: "Okay , let's talk business."

"Valerian is still crying for Dad?" Arcturus tried to change the subject.

"Our son has stopped crying, and he hasn't missed you since a month ago." Julianna folded her hands on her chest: "Now he talks about his Uncle Augustus every day."

"That's a good thing, I read it every day." Arcturus smiled. Although Valerian was weak and liked to read some literary poems, after Augustus taught him last time, Valerian had grown stronger.

"Augustus is in my memory, only a little bit the size of Valerian."

Arcturus doesn't realize that the emotional gap between himself and Valerian is being healed, but there's still an underlying rift in their strange father-son relationship.

When meeting Valerian this time, Arcturus was surprised to find that his son who had made him dissatisfied had become a man who never cried easily.This made Arcturus begin to regard Valerian as his heir from the bottom of his heart. Of course, in order to prevent Valerian from slacking off, he still acted quite dignified.

"Speaking of which, why didn't you see Speaker Angus? He has already arrived in New Steeling City and is talking to my father." Juliana said.

"You don't have to respect him so much." Arcturus said impatiently, "I don't want to see him."

"Angus had better die in Keha, otherwise we will definitely fight when we meet."

"I respect him because he is the father of you and Augustus, and the grandfather of Valerian." Julianna said with a smile.

"But you still love him in your heart."

"I hate him." Arcturus opened the curtains in the room in annoyance.

What unfolded in front of Arcturus was the orange-yellow sky of Umoyan and the boundless building complex of prefabricated panels and modular houses. Each building has more than ten floors and is a sharp-edged column.Umoyan's dragonfly-wing drones surrounded the sky, and from time to time, supply ships sailed out of the clouds that seemed to pile up.Next to the temporary city hall is the open-air market, and the Keha people are using Umoyan banknotes for transactions, and there is a lot of people talking.

"Okay, I won't mention him." Julianna walked to Arcturus and said softly: "You spent money to purchase the factory from the Kymerian Consortium and transport it back to Keha. The reconstruction is weak but important. basic industrial system, you provide far more food than Umoyan for all the Keha, eggs and milk for the children."

"Because they are my people," Arcturus said naturally.As a descendant of the nobles who ruled Keha in the world, he took it for granted that the Keha people were his own people.

But this kindness and generosity belongs only to the Keha people.

Among the wealth obtained in the giant mine, the part belonging to Arcturus was all used to relieve the Kehal refugees who poured into Umoyan, and he himself preferred to live frugally.Although the Umoyan government has undertaken all the construction of refugee camps, the construction of water and power supply facilities, and the cost within three years, it still needs Arcturus' own investment to build a city with complete functions that can support the needs of 2000 million people. Money.

Fortunately, the Umoyan government also promised to use [-]% of the financial revenue of the entire Umoyan and other planetary dominions to build cities belonging to the Keha people and maintain the basic transfer of the city until the territory of the Keha people can achieve self-sufficiency self-sufficient.

For the time being, no one is starving or freezing.

It's just that Umoyan is not a garden world with a mild climate and suitable for life. The Keha people still need to experience a lot of hardships if they want to adapt to this planet whose environment is far worse than their hometown.

"You also hired thousands of skilled miners in Kelmorian, and bought the mine scanning equipment and the Kelmerian planet at a very low price during the period when the Commonwealth and the Federation signed a peace treaty. Excavator." Julianna asked again.

"How about it, do you want to lead them to become miners?"

"You ask too much." Arcturus glanced at her and said, quoting a wise saying: "If you want to get rich, start mining."

Neither of them spoke after that, only the sound from the TV screen in the room.

"Moral degeneration, forcing the good into prostitution, selling people into slavery."

"This is a trample on humanitarianism. Angus and his lackeys have destroyed the balance of order for their own selfish interests. They intend to turn the whole world upside down and establish a feudal dynasty belonging to the Mengsk family on a free federal regime of fairness and the rule of law! "

"We suspect that the Kerha rebels possess weapons of mass destruction. They illegally possess at least ten to thirty apocalypse-level nuclear bombs. In order to protect the people of Kerha from the rebels, we destroyed the Kerha IV."

"."

"Interview? Sucks, what I'm saying is, the Kehas are riding shit on our heads! The Federation Navy is a bunch of shit!"

"."

"Welcome to Franz Vormilian's special: How Did Augustus Mengsk, Chief of the Demons of Heaven - Hero of the People, Fall So Far?"

"Augustus Mengsk, a murderous butcher, man-eating demon, satyr, transvestite, who charged women and children with high explosives to attack rebels, ordered underage children to drive His fighter plane crashed into a navy warship, and his minions once hijacked a cargo ship and crashed it into the FSB building”

"." Arcturus suddenly showed an expression as if he was choked.

"They smeared Augustus too much. He used to be a hero of the Federation." Juliana sighed.

"Not anymore." Arcturus wasn't actually surprised. "Why didn't they report what Keha had become?"

After a long silence, a soldier of the Revolutionary Army walked into the room. He had the symbol of the Ring Whip Arm on his arm. Unlike the different Ring Whip Arms of the Revolutionary Army, there was no five-pointed star in the center of the ring. Full of sharp sawtooth.

"You formed the Sons of Keha," said Juliana. "A true terrorist organization."

"Since the Federation says we are a terrorist organization, then there must be." Arcturus said, "Anyway, someone will come to do this."

"They are my people." Arcturus pointed to the city looking out of the window, looking at the people with thousands of different faces.

"I'll fight for Keha."

"For everyone to have a home to return to."
