Chapter 180 The Returning Demon of Heaven

The command post of the Revolutionary Army was set up in the state government building in Hiero State. This is an axisymmetric classical building with regular geometric lines and a spherical superstructure. The dilapidated immigrant buildings stand in stark contrast.

Augustus, with his staff and military advisers, was holding a meeting in the state hall of the state government building, which could accommodate 500 people on the exclusive ground floor.The conference hall is richly decorated with golden chandeliers, rose-coloured marble wall tiles and expensive woolen carpets.

The owner of the building obviously added a lot of extra design according to his own taste when renovating. The wooden ceiling and floor of the meeting hall are framed by thin square load-bearing columns.In contrast to this retro-style furnishings, there are sophisticated electronic instruments hidden in the floor and smooth stone walls. The astonishingly expensive temperature stabilization equipment can keep the temperature in this desert building within a stable range. .

In just three days, Tychus Finley, Augustus' capable general, defeated the Civil Defense Force and Planetary Defense Force with less than 2000 people and outdated equipment in the Hiero Autonomous Prefecture through several tough and powerful night raids.The Revolutionary Army immediately acquired the Hero State Government and its complex subordinate institutions, and planted a red whip-holding ring flag on the top of the tallest building.

As for the Governor of the Hiero Autonomous Prefecture and Augustus’ judicial friend, they had already flown to the capital area on a special plane, but the luxurious winged aircraft, which looked like a private yacht, was quickly shot down by the Revolutionary Army Air Force, which held air supremacy.

"General Reynolds' army has taken full control of the state of Lorenza. In his latest report, he asked the operator to greet you instead of him." In the conference hall of the state government building, Augustus' military adviser was sending Augustus Do routine reports.

"Judging from the intercepted and deciphered part of the intelligence, the governor of Mar Sara has been continuously sending encrypted communications to the Tarsonis government and the nearest Federation fleet to request support. This channel can be detected on all bands. To—" a chief of staff said.

"As you might expect, he desperately sought outside support, but refused to admit defeat to the Revolutionary Army."

He was in a hurry.

"Governor Mar Sara is a wimp, greedy for enjoyment, and indulgent. Most of his staff are incompetent people who got a half-job just because of his favor. No matter what absurd things he does, I don't feel that No surprise at all." Augustus never smiled when he was listening to reports or giving orders unless Raynor or Tychus were present.

"At present, we have controlled the eight major immigration states. Only San Joanna and the Capital District are still under the control of the enemy, but if we want to take those areas, it will only take some time." He said. All the people present couldn't help but listen carefully to every word Augustus said.

Entering mid-February, the sudden change in the situation in Mar Sara finally attracted the attention of the Tarsonis Federation Council. The people of many colonial worlds in the Tyrann Federation put aside the fear brought about by the destruction of Korhal IV, and re-discussed the revolution. with freedom.

Even the Kel-Morian Federation and the Umoyan United States have focused their attention on a backward, ugly and desolate world on the edge of the Tyrann Federation.

Even if the governor of the immigrant place in Mar Sara is unwilling to admit that the communication between the governor's office and the governments of Hiro and other states has been completely cut off, more than eight immigrant states and more than 200 million people in them have fallen into the control of the rebels. It is an indisputable fact.

Many military bases fell, the supplies in the supply stations were plundered, and the maglev train transportation hub on the ground was diverted to transport troops and supplies for the rebels. The government forces were unable to regain the lost ground and could only retreat to the capital area where the Governor's Palace is located. Concentrate on organizing defenses.

"The reason why we didn't take advantage of the victory to bring liberation to the people in these areas is that Governor Mar Sara kept asking for help from the core world." Then, Augustus continued: "As long as we defeat the first arrived The Federation Fleet, and the rest of the fleet will throw their hands at you."

"If the Federal Admiral of the Navy is gathering several naval squadrons to support Mar Sara, then we are likely to be at a disadvantage in the fleet battle." At this time, the chief of staff of Augustus raised an objection: "We It is likely that Mar Sara will have to be given up."

"Sooner or later we have to leave Mar Sara, we can't hold this place," someone said right away.

"Then we will force them to carry out landing operations." In Augustus' mind, this is a game at the level of grand strategy: "If every time there is a revolutionary army in an area, they adopt the strategy of using nuclear bombs to level everything, then we will Had to change our plans."

As he was speaking, Augustus was suddenly poked in the waist, and when he turned around, he saw a red-haired Sarah Kerrigan.

"Don't stop, you keep going. I need the staff to come up with a new battle plan for capturing the large gas refinery in the northern hemisphere tonight." Augustus left the conference hall after saying these words.

"What is it?" Augustus asked Kerrigan after following Kerrigan out of the conference room into the corridor and closing the conference room door.

"The Sara system, where Vice Admiral Warfield's fleet has arrived, is currently anchored at the edge of the system," Kerrigan said to Augustus.

"This is really good news." Augustus's eyes lit up.

In August of last year, Warfield and the other six battlecruisers were severely damaged and could no longer participate in the battle, so they went to the large dockyard in the Umoyan United States for repairs.Most of February has passed by now, and after half a year of repairs by Umoyan engineers, these warships were saved from being scrapped or retired early.

As early as the beginning of last month, Augustus ordered the Warfield fleet to rush to Mar Sara, but the Warfield fleet arrived after a long detour, in order to avoid the two federal fleets gathered on the border of the Umoyan United States.

"Where's my general?" Augustus asked Kerrigan first, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Horace Warfield coming from the end of the corridor.At this time, Warfield was wearing a dark gray uniform of the Revolutionary Army Fleet, without any medals or ribbons, and his dark face had a steel-like expression.

Augustus laughed happily at the sight of Warfield, and the Marshal of the Revolutionary Army laughed heartily through the corridor.In this way, even the unsmiling Warfield smiled.

The two first hugged each other, then shook hands twice.

"It makes me so happy to see you again." Augustus said to Warfield: "I stayed in Turasis for more than a year, traveled around, and spent more than half a year in Mar Sara, Far away from my old comrades and family."

"Haha. I heard that you are doing well in Mar Sara, and you have dug up a lot of rare crystals." Warfield first exchanged pleasantries with Augustus, and then talked about his experience in Umoyan. Some knowledge.

"I saw your family and they are all well."

"Are Mom and Dorothy getting used to living in Umoyan?" Augustus' smile stopped.

"Lady Catherine misses her hometown, but she still lives at ease." Warfield said: "Angus and Arcturus dare not send your sister to the university in Umoyan, so they can only hire tutors—she Doesn't seem very happy with that."

"Dorothy can do everything very well." Augustus nodded and said, "We arrange courses according to Dorothy's preferences. She is very good at finance, and she is far more accomplished in politics Extraordinary."

"By announcing that the ruined Keha joined the Umoyan United States, Angus got a seat in the Umoyan Council." Warfield said: "Although he can't go any further, at least he has a firm foothold there .”

"...declaring that Keha is part of the United States of Umoyan, in the long run, this is not a wise choice." Augustus thought that this would give Umoyan an opportunity to claim in the future.

"Well, but this is the most beneficial thing for those Keha people living in Umoyan." Warfield said, with a sad expression on his face: "I have some bad news for you, Angus Mentally it got a little bit worse.”

"Angus began to suffer from insomnia and had to take sedatives to fall asleep. He had to muster up courage to face his own people, even though his people still respected and loved him." He said: "Although no one has ever blamed Angus S, but he must have blamed himself for Korhal's destruction, and was overwhelmed with excessive self-blame."

"Keha's destruction is indeed a blow to Angus, but I don't believe he will be completely defeated by such a setback." Augustus said after a moment of silence: "Who is responsible for the safety of my family now?" Work."

"It's Colonel Field." Warfield said: "The Umoyan Shadow Academy sent commissioners to provide protection for MP Angus and his family. At the same time, your brother personally arranged many loyal subordinates to protect them."

"Is he from the Sons of Kehal?" Augustus' elder brother Arcturus did not hide from him the news that he formed the Sons of Kehal.

The current Sons of Keha is composed of those who are most hostile to the Tyrannian Federation among the Keha people. Arcturus consciously gathered these people together and used his provocative speech to turn them into Revenge on the extremists who would give it all.

"I have seen people from the Sons of Keha. They are also ordinary people, not the human demons that UNN said."

"I never doubted their loyalty," Augustus said. "I even sent a few ghosts to join the Sons of Korhal."

"Akturs doesn't like ghost agents." Warfield was originally an old subordinate of Arcturus when he was the colonel and division commander in the 33rd Ground Assault Division: "But he likes the one you sent named 24718 Ghost agents and newly trained agents and assassins from the August National Security Council."

"I hope 24718 will satisfy Arcturus," Augustus said.

"Where is he now?"

"The last time I heard about Arcturus, it was said that his mining fleet had arrived at the Pegasus constellation outside the Koprulu star area. This time they found nothing, but dug up a well-preserved alien relic, especially Moyan scientists are interested in those, and the sponsors behind their research projects are willing to pay real money to buy these things," Warfield said.

"Unlike those explorers who always get nothing, Arcturus always gains something when he goes out. Many people attribute this to his superhuman intuition and good luck when looking for crystal mines and alien ruins, but that is They haven't seen how much time Arcturus spends studying geology and operating resonators."

"The funds given to me by Arcturus have helped me a lot. I don't have to worry about military expenses, and I still have money left over to buy new weapons." Augustus nodded.

"You are not fighting alone, little Mengsk, there are many people standing behind you. Some people are willing to die for you, just because they really love you." Warfield patted Augustus on the shoulder: "We Will win."

"Because we and Daoyi are standing by your side."

"I have some good news to tell you. The warehouses of those battlecruisers are full of weapons and ammunition and nearly 200 sets of CMC-[-] power armor imitated by the Umoyan Military Factory." He continued.

"Your brother spent a lot of money for this. You know, Umoyan can't give you these equipments for nothing."

Augustus nodded, noticing the sound of footsteps coming from the end of the corridor where Warfield came, and he could hear the sound of high heels in it.

A red-haired man with a Mohawk-style cockscomb appeared at the corner of the corridor. It was Hanak Hanke, a member of the Demon of Heaven who had been away for many days. His walking posture was not as crooked as before, as if he was walking drifted away.After a long time no see, Augustus noticed that Hanak had a little more momentum of a general of the revolutionary army.

The demons of heaven who stayed in the Korhal galaxy during the Korhal Defense War all went to Umoyan, and now they have returned to Mar Sara with Warfield's fleet.

"Boss, I've brought a troop of Pyromen," Harnack yelled, still like a country boy, as soon as he saw Augustus.

When he was in Umoyan, Hanak and other major generals all entered Umoyan's military academy for further studies, but so far it seems that he hasn't changed much.

Then there was Rondestein, a young general entrusted by Augustus with his calm and reliable character, who lost his two brothers and three uncles in the defense of Keha. Tarsonis, the famous Stilling nobleman is dying.Rundstein became more and more silent. He wrapped himself in a military overcoat and only nodded when he saw Augustus.

Last to arrive was Lisa Keshidi in the uniform of a Marine Corps medic, with radiation-shielded black square eyes and ginger hair braided in a long ponytail.

Lisa smiled at the sight of Augustus and gritted her teeth at the sight of Kerrigan behind him.She walked very quickly, stepping on her high heels and ran in front of Augustus, and then stretched out her arms to hug him.

　Thank you, Hall Master, I just miss you!Thanks for voting!
