StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 193 Okay, I Surrender
"Land down," Augustus said on his command channel, with the safety on his Gauss rifle, "surround that enemy force."

"Load and load, and follow your officers."

After receiving the order, the transport fleet was immediately divided into two teams, one part landed on the spot and blocked the way of the Alpha Squadron, while the transport ship headed by the Augustus transport ship flew to the rear to block its retreat.

At this moment, the camera at the bottom of the transport ship has already captured several Revolutionary Army wraith fighter planes swooping down into the barren canyon like hawks. The 25mm laser guns approached the dark ground and opened fire. There was a series of sparkling explosions.

Soldiers of Alpha Squadron below immediately responded with shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft rockets, but soon their rockets were exhausted.Next, the soldiers of Alpha Squadron did not try to shoot at the fighter plane thousands of feet high, but searched for cover as much as possible in the rocky canyon.

Augustus believed that Duke and his Alpha Squadron Elite Guardsmen were dying to bury their heads in the sand.

More than a dozen revolutionary APOD transport ships sailed low over the barren canyon, and the wake jets ejected by dozens of pushing machines looked like phoenix wings. It is the god of death that is fast approaching.

The transport ship that Augustus was on landed smoothly after a brief turbulence, like a feather falling on the sand. When he stood up with Kerrigan and Corporal Faraday beside him, the hatch was already open, The blue light used for lighting is always on.

A good pilot is as important as a good ship, and the pilot who sailed the ship for the Marshal of the Revolutionary Army is of course the best pilot in Quan Keha.When Keha IV was destroyed by the Federation Fleet, all the Keha people lost most of their property, the problem of class solidification and leadership no longer existed, the contradiction between the rich and the poor disappeared temporarily, and the Keha people driven by hatred were unprecedented. United.

In the process of Umoyan building a new homeland, some of the ace pilots and top engineers of the Korha civil interstellar airline turned to join the Revolutionary Army and served Augustus.

Once off the dropship, the siren inside the Augustus power armor flashed red, followed by Corporal Faraday, followed by Ghost Agent Sarah Kerrigan, closing her eyepiece as soon as she hit the ground, disappeared into the darkness.

Dozens of Revolutionary Army soldiers inside the transport ship filed down quickly but without panic. These people are basically civilian officers, but they are not new to fighting. After the battlefield.

More soldiers of the Revolutionary Army came down from other transport ships, and they moved almost all the heavy individual support weapons in the Martin Fort Armory, including rockets, 25mm Mark II rail guns and a large number of electromagnetic grenades .

"V-shaped formations advance alternately, flares!" Augustus gave an order on the command channel, and the raised flares lit up the entire canyon a few seconds later.Only a thousand yards away from Augustus, the bright white power armor of Alpha Squadron is so eye-catching at this moment.

As the flares came on, the two sides opened fire immediately, and the sound of intensive shooting echoed between the rock walls of the canyon, as if tens of thousands of soldiers were shooting at the same time.

"He's at the end of the road." At this moment, Kerrigan said to Augustus on the private direct communication channel: "Although I can't feel Edmund Duke's thinking, I can detect his subordinates' thoughts." Soldiers. Duke is among them, they are about to escape, and the transport ship from the capital district air port will come to pick them up."

"Be careful, they have two ghost agents."

"Forward," Augustus said on the command channel. "They have psykers ready to use EMP weapons."

"Don't save on bullets, fire all our grenades and rockets."

Augustus's troops immediately spread out in the ravine, advancing while shooting.

Kerrigan's powerful psychic power spread out in front of Augustus and the frontline Revolutionary soldiers, like an invisible wall, and all the bullets fired at them stopped in mid-air and fell to the ground.

At the same time, another contingent of the Revolutionary Army came from the other side under the leadership of a staff lieutenant colonel.The surrounded Alpha Squadron had to deal with an enemy ten times its size, surrounded by two sides.

Even Duke's elite guards had already fought fiercely with Renault's main force of the Revolutionary Army in the desolate canyon for more than ten hours. The ammunition stored in the power armor shoulder armor had already been exhausted, and their firepower was at an obvious disadvantage.Many soldiers were torn to pieces by the rockets capable of destroying the Kel Morian heavy tank, blood spattering.

As the firefight continued, Alpha Squadron dwindled, while Augustus' Revolutionary Army closed in on the encirclement.

"Edmund Duke, I'll give you a chance to surrender," Augustus said loudly, using his power armor's loudspeaker, as Alpha Squadron's firepower visibly thinned out.

"But you must cease fire first." A few seconds later, there was a response from Alpha Squadron.

"I'll give you three seconds to prepare, and we will cease fire at the same time." At this time, Augustus was only four or five hundred yards away from Alpha Squadron, and he could see the power armor of many Alpha Squadron soldiers being torn apart , fell in a pool of blood made of his own blood.

There were few casualties on Augustus' side, and all bullets were deflected by Kerrigan's powerful psychic power.

"I can only surrender to your supreme commander—not some fake, self-proclaimed general." About half a minute after the real ceasefire, a rough roar came belatedly.

"For God's sake, I'm a general, and I will only surrender to your rebel leader. Let Augustus Mengsk come to see me!" Even in a desperate situation, the voice was still extremely arrogant.He didn't recognize Augustus' voice, because he didn't believe that the other party would appear here at this moment.

"When did he get promoted?" Kerrigan's voice rang in Augustus' ear: "How did he get promoted to general in less than a day."

"Don't expose him for this kind of thing. Colonel Duke values ​​face very much." Augustus replied.

"I am Augustus Mengsk." When Augustus was speaking, Corporal Faraday waved his hand and blocked his front with a dozen soldiers from the guard battalion, guarding against possible ghost agents.

"You have no chance to negotiate terms."

Augustus knew that the way to deal with a man like Duke was to never go along with him and let him get frustrated in his own world.

"Your troops have been lost, but my reinforcements keep coming. Before today, you were a colonel in the Federation, but now you are nothing," he said.

"I'll give you two options, join us or dedicate your life to this corrupt government of the Federation. If you order the remaining Alpha Squadron soldiers and fleet to surrender, then I can leave you a cabinet post."

"I'd be crazy to join the rebels." Duke's voice was a little shaken—Augustus had moved him.

He doesn't want to die.

"Okay, I'll surrender."
