StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 178 Backwater Base
After walking out of the office of the immigration court, the four Revolutionary Army soldiers who were changing the guard outside the office saluted Augustus and his ghost bodyguard Sarah Kerrigan.The Revolutionary Army's military salute was no different from that of the Union Army, just as their armor was still painted in the same colors as the Union Army.

When Augustus returned the military salute, a vixen assault vehicle had already driven into the black brick courtyard where the immigration court hall was located.

Corporal Faraday, Captain of Augustus' Guards, drove.This corporal of the Revolutionary Army has always been conscientious as Augustus's most loyal subordinate, taking care of his travel and security work, large and small.Meanwhile, he remains a corporal despite the fact that the sergeants who were enlisted at the same time as Corporal Faraday were all promoted after the Battle of Tarsonis.

Of course, all the officers around Augustus thought it was only a matter of time before Corporal Faraday was promoted.

"Marshal, the command post has just received a report from Tychus Finley. His Battalion of Wolfhunters of Stilling continued to advance south after defeating the troops of Second Lieutenant Gray of the Planetary Defense Force, and entered the planet at 22 o'clock yesterday night. The defense force has set up an outpost in the town of Harland." As soon as the vixen assault vehicle stopped, Corporal Faraday got out of the vehicle and reported to Augustus:

"Second Lieutenant Gray is currently being held in a hoverbike prison van, and the prison van will arrive in Echo Town soon." He asked Augustus.

"Are you going to interrogate him yourself?"

"No need." Augustus didn't want to waste time dealing with a scumbag. Compared with him, he preferred to talk to a man of noble character like Judge Ada: "Throw him into the mine, if we If he's alive when he leaves Ma Sara, give the guy a bullet."

"Where's Tychus?"

"He's at Joey Ray's," Corporal Faraday replied. "The troop assembly point is around there."

"Go to Joey Ray's Bar." Augustus climbed onto the vixen assault vehicle as he said, and Kerrigan followed after scanning the surrounding environment with her green eyes shrouded in a subtle pale golden light .

"Yes, sir." Corporal Faraday drove himself, and the reconnaissance car sped all the way in the small town of Echo Town.

In Augustus's eyes, apart from the town residents standing on both sides of the bluestone road and at the door of their homes, they were all militiamen in crimson power armor with the initials of the Civil Defense Force of Echo Town on their shoulder armor.

The militiamen lined up neatly in two columns. The number of militiamen that Augustus could count, the number of militiamen walking on the street alone exceeded 200, far exceeding the establishment of two platoons in the Civil Defense Military District of Echo Town. .But Augustus knew that this was just a force to defend Echo Town and the surrounding mining areas.

The revolutionary army, who tried to hide their identity before, began to make public appearances in Echo Town and nearby towns, and they were also welcomed by the residents of the town.In the past six months, the residents of Echo Town have generally been influenced by revolutionary ideas, and they respect these rumored freedom fighters.

Now, the people of all Echo Towns know that the Revolutionary Army is gathering, but they have no idea of ​​their plans or goals.Even so, this does not prevent those good people, those who know the inside story according to themselves, and those who really admire the revolution to discuss this "big victory" in their mouths in various bars in Echo Town.

Joe Ray's bar is far from Echo Town, standing in Backwater Town, a town near the federal military base Backwater Base, about twenty miles away by car.

It took Augustus more than an hour to arrive at Joe Ray's Bar, and two revolutionary battalions with a total of 800 people had assembled nearby, and two other battalions were marching southwest of the assembly area.

An armored company consisting of twelve arc tanks was advancing in the red Gobi desert of Mar Sara. The flag of the Revolutionary Army painted with the red star flag of the ring holding the whip was flying in front of the car, and many revolutionaries in power armor Soldiers sit on tanks.

When Augustus walked into Joe Ray's bar, there were still a lot of Stillling wolf hunters outside the bar. The power armor of these elite Revolutionary Army soldiers had a black wolf head badge, and the visor on the helmet was plated with silver-white anti-corrosion. Radiant coating.

All the Stilling wolfhunters pay the highest respect to Augustus in their various ways. After all, they have been forest guards guarding the forest farm for the Mengsk family for generations, and they are the first generation of Mengsk. Descendants of followers.

Members of the Mengsk family had great prestige among them, and Augustus just waved his hand, which attracted a burst of fanatical shouts.

There were no customers at Joe Ray's bar, and now only Tychus Finley was drinking cold beer, and Joe Ray, the hotel owner, was wiping glasses at the front desk of the bar.At that time, Joe Ray still had hair and his body was still in shape.

"Rey, don't worry about the shells falling on your head." Tychus was laughing while drinking beer. "They dare not fight back."

"Tychus, you bastard." Augustus came in and pointed at Tychus' nose and cursed: "Go back to your position, the attack starts at eleven o'clock."

"It's just a glass of wine, and it's beer." Tychus held back for a long time, trying not to scold his mother.

When Tychus walked out of the bar in dismay, Augustus noticed that the LED screen TV in the bar was playing the UNN news from earlier.

"I'm Mike Liberty, Liberty (Liberty) Morning News is on time to bring you the latest coverage from all of Kopruu. Urgent break in with a breaking news: New riots in Mar Sara on the fringes, rebels An arsenal in the capital of the planet was raided, and a large number of weapons were stolen - let's connect with front-line reporters."

At this time, the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army Marshal Command Post and Umoyan's advisor, who learned that Augustus had arrived, rushed over.

Augustus looked back at them: "I hope you bring news that my troops are ready."

"The 1 members of the 1st Brigade of the 5300st Army of the Revolutionary Army have assembled and are ready to go." The chief of staff is a middle-aged man in his 40s who once served as the principal of the only military academy in Keha.

Among the first 1 legions established by the Revolutionary Army, the 1st Brigade of the [-]st Army was the first to be fully recruited.In this army that has experienced previous wars, every soldier is a veteran of Keha origin, absolutely loyal and absolutely reliable.It was originally Rundstein's troops, and now it belongs directly to the headquarters of the Marshal of the Revolutionary Army.

At this time, Augustus's military advisor placed a portable holographic projector on the table in front of him. Between light and shadow, a three-dimensional image of a federal military base appeared in front of Augustus.

Backwater base, the federal army's supply center in Mar Sara.

"This base has less than a battalion of Federal Marines, and it is the only Marine Corps stationed in Hiero State." Augustus said to his chief of staff and military advisers: "This should be a quick and efficient operation." Raid."

"What I want is a fatal blow."

After a pause, Augustus went on to say: "There are a large number of civilians living in the towns and settlements near the backwater base, and I will convey my orders to the entire army."

"Do not affect civilians or harm innocent people. Robbery and any form of criminal behavior is strictly prohibited. Violators will be shot immediately, and their officers will be punished for dereliction of duty."
