StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 188 Sports Battle

Two standard Earth time later, that is, around 2:19 pm on February 6, Augustus, who had been standing on the command island of the command center for more than ten hours, heard the rumble of artillery, like thunder.

At this time of February, the speed of darkness is particularly fast.Leaden clouds piled up over Martinborough, and occasionally there were bunches of bright orange flashes on the black dome, which were spacecraft and fighter planes falling from high-altitude orbit.

The sound of the artillery could only come from the Alpha Squadron, because the Revolutionary Army did not have established railguns, howitzers, or artillery units of other arms. They could only rely on power armor and Gauss rifles.

"What's the situation with the fleet? Corporal Faraday." Augustus looked at the combat map on the projection screen, took a deep breath and said.

"According to the information sent back by the flagship of the Second Fleet, the Hyperion shot down the Ekaterina of Alpha Squadron, and the Norad II and the remaining seven battlecruisers severely damaged Napoleon and Jackson V, forcing them to The flagship Norad III evaded through a tactical jump." It was not Corporal Faraday who spoke, but Sarah Kerrigan who was always with Augustus.

Hearing Kerrigan's words, Augustus remembered that Corporal Faraday had been dispatched by him to take charge of the defense work on the outskirts of Fort Martin.Although the place is solid and well-defended, and the automatic locking system of the numerous anti-aircraft missile towers tightly blocks the sky above Fort Martin, Augustus must also defend the airborne troops of the Alpha Squadron.

"... well done," said Augustus. "What's our loss?"

"The mid-deck of the Norad II was punctured, and some people were killed. The other battlecruisers just needed to be re-armored and re-painted." Kerrigan said: "Our battleships are still chasing Duke's The new flagship Norad III, it is only a matter of time before it is shot down."

"Tell my captains to expand the results of the war before the other battlecruisers of Alpha Squadron come back to help." Augustus ordered: "After the battle is over, use the tugboat to tow the battleship of Alpha Squadron back to the port immediately, don't waste even It's a small screw. Now we are poor and white, we can only be scavengers and garbage collectors in the interstellar, and every abandoned warship means more to us than ever before."

"And—tell my soldiers that Marshal Augustus Mengsk is proud of them."

Kerrigan nodded, taking notes.At this time, Kerrigan has replaced the new equipment from Umoyan. Her dark black degradable tights are inlaid with bronze-colored plastic alloy armor, and her chest, abdomen, forearms, and shins have been fully repaired. Protective, such an attire makes his iconic long fiery red hair more eye-catching.

Just as he was talking, Tychus Finley's headshot suddenly reappeared on the holographic projection screen in front of Augustus. The picture came from the camera of his CMC power armor helmet. The lens was shaking, and it was obvious that Tychus was running.

"Tychus Finley called command center, I'm Mengsk, and I'm followed by at least two brigades of Alpha Squadron. We've been running all day and night, and the tanks and assault vehicles have run out of fuel - this is the desert , there is no place to refuel, so we can only throw them all down." The image of Tychus Finley seems to be inseparable from cold beer and cigars, and the interior of his power armor is always smoky, and the internal air circulation system of the armor Like a lung burrowed by smoke.

"Fortunately, their car is out of gas, so they can only run."

"From north to south, from the capital area - Lorenza - sandworm desert - desolate canyon, there is no high-energy gas refinery. I have already figured it out. Didn't you listen when the combat meeting was held?" A month before the battle on the battlefield, Augustus led Corporal Faraday and Kerrigan to inspect the terrain on the spot, and finally decided on a battle plan after careful consideration.

"Is there such a thing?" Tychus didn't remember much, after all, he had been catching up on sleep during the meeting.

"Just treat it like that." He didn't care about it: "Well, I'm leading the people of Alpha Squadron into the encirclement."

"Hehe, are you ready to falcon? When I get Edmund Duke, I'm going to clip his wings and put him in a chicken coop."

"That's exactly what I want to do," Augustus said.

"Our feud with Alpha Squadron is not so easy to settle." Tychus chuckled: "I heard that you are going to give Duke a cabinet position—no matter why a republic has a cabinet. If you want me to say, you don't care How about a poisonous snake, it will bite you sooner or later. The best way is to cut off his head and pickle it with salt."

"I know you understand this truth better than I do. What you want is not Duke, but his Alpha Squadron."

"Promise high officials and rich salary." Augustus said: "With this method, many people can be won over."

"And Duke does have his advantages. Although he is bad enough, he is also ruthless enough."

"Or do you want a cabinet position, too, Tychus."

"Come on, you have already thought about this before Mar Sara is independent." Tychus smiled: "If you want me to say, I will open a small bar in Tarsonis when the Tyrann Federation is overthrown." , raise some 'daughters' and the rest is ridiculous, yes, that's how I like it."

Augustus had known for a long time that Tychus was a bastard, and was not at all surprised by what he said.

"Hi, I'm Jim. My people are approaching Desolation Canyon. There is an abandoned mining outpost in my 055° direction. I think that's the scheduled assembly point." At this time, Jim Raynor's avatar appeared, his The frame of the avatar quickly occupied half of the area of ​​the holographic projection screen, squeezing Tychus away like a bubble.

"Our concealment measures are very good, and we have never encountered reconnaissance planes or reconnaissance troops of Alpha Squadron. The space stations and satellites in orbit have been paralyzed by electromagnetic interference, and it is impossible to detect us." Renault said.

"Hell, I had no idea that piece of artifact dug out of the corridors of Purgatory could be used like this," he said.

"Ah? This thing is much more effective than any electromagnetic interference device, and any human communication device will be paralyzed."

"The downside is that it's a double-edged sword, and our ships will be affected as well," Augustus said.

Augustus ordered Rory Swan to build an artifact spaceship specially for the Xel'Naga artifact fragments, which can amplify the disturbing magnetic field generated by the artifact fragments to interfere with the opponent's communication.Of course, the downside is that the revolutionary army within its range will also be affected.

For the time being, the Revolutionary Army is still unable to discover more uses for the Xel'Naga artifact fragments.

"I am Rondestein, and my troops have arrived at the outpost X-53565 in the Desolate Canyon." At this time, the head portrait of another revolutionary army general appeared.

"I'm Mira." Mirahan's avatar occupied a quarter of the main screen: "Fight for the Revolutionary Army!"

"You don't need to call this every time, Mira." Augustus smiled.

"The political commissar and captain around me said so." Mira laughed.No one knew where Meera was laughing, but she just couldn't breathe.

"Okay, repeat your mission." Augustus swiped his finger across the screen, and a plan of the barren canyon appeared on the screen. The entrance was wide, and the deeper it got, the narrower it became, just like the cross-section of a beer bottle.

"I will lead Duke into the canyon, and together with Harnack's firebat troops will block the Alpha Squadron at the bottleneck." Tychus said.

"And we'll go into the canyon after that and attack Duke from behind," Raynor and the others said in unison.

"Pinch back and forth," Tychus said. "You know that's my favorite way to play."
