StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 208 Hammer Security Company
The mercenary market in the main city of Jacob is located on the lower floor of the city's vertical buildings, away from the bustling city center and commercial buildings, between the dark buildings and the industrial buildings made of metal transportation pipes and chimneys.

The mercenary market is set up inside a huge commercial plaza. The small and remote headquarters of most mercenary companies are next to shops selling cheap industrial products. Even those large mercenary organizations will not spend extra money. Lease an entire floor for headquarters, opting instead to spend more money on a training base.

The mercenary market in Jacob City was far more deserted than Augustus had imagined. It was deserted, and even those shops with neon signboards could see many lower-class residents shopping.

Augustus was on the first floor of the commercial plaza. This gigantic building covered an area equivalent to a hundred football fields. The bottom floor was the commercial area, and above it were offices and sports venues.

The first floor of the commercial square has a towering dome and grid-like shops. Augustus shuttled through the shops, looking for the mercenary organization that was mixed in.Augustus noticed that in the commercial center of Moria, products such as industrially synthesized food, desalinated seawater, and plastic products were much cheaper than Tarsonis.

The synthetic food produced by the food factory in Moria is enough to feed 40 billion people on the entire planet. A Moria can feed a family of five only by working on the factory production line or the unloading dock of the star port for one day. But even so, thousands of people died of starvation.

The decline of the Ke Morian mercenary market is not unrelated to the end of the Kailian War. The Commonwealth lost control of most colonies and mining worlds.Its sphere of influence has shrunk considerably, and since the trade route between Moria and the subordinate colonial world no longer exists, the work of mercenaries has temporarily decreased a lot.

Many mercenaries switched careers to become interstellar pirates during this period, and they planned to return to Moria when the market was good.

But in a union that controls the vast majority of the population in the form of guild enterprises and trade fleets, powerful people are more than happy to hire a well-trained mercenary army in addition to forming a private security force.

"The Hammer Security Company of the Commonwealth is the largest mercenary organization here. At the same time, Umoyan's Hill and Harris Company also has a permanent office here." While in the market, Kerrigan, who had done the research, reported to him.

"After the Battle of Kailian, the original Ke Morian legions also disintegrated and formed various mercenary or pirate organizations. For example, several Cerberus fighter wings of the alliance formed the Cerberus Security Company. The Star Trade Fleet provides escort, and another Hell's Angels, suspected to be an offshoot of the Cerberus Wing, has turned into a pirate organization."

"They dismembered their legion, and the guild guards who once fought for glory were abandoned by the union they once loyal to. Within 20 years, the Kel Morian union has no chance to stand up again." Ou Gusdu coldly dropped such a sentence, and walked into the depths of the mercenary market with his hands behind his back.

After coming to Moria and coming into contact with all kinds of high-level and elite members of the Federation, Augustus was increasingly disappointed.The Kelmorian Federation once provoked a war with the Tyrann Federation. In the early stages of the war, they had an advantage. The Federation fleet blocked the border of the Tyrannian Federation, and the battle line advanced to one-third of the galaxies in the Koprulu sector. .

The union's guild guards are known as the most indestructible warriors, and numerous mighty legions composed of various guilds and families have destroyed one federation world after another.

Today, that powerful alliance has become a thing of the past, and their rulers can no longer even muster the courage to fight the Federation head-on.

Since the territory of the Commonwealth was compressed to Moria and several recent galaxies, the Kel-Morians have lost their qualifications to compete with the Federation, and even have a tendency to become its vassals.

Apart from weapons and their fully functioning factories, it is likely that the Kel-Morian Combine will not give Augustus any support.

"The Hammer Security Company is currently the best choice. Their employees have rich combat experience and a reliable reputation. After the end of the Kailian War, this company has received many retired guild guards and veterans of the Camerian Auxiliary Army ’” Kerrigan said.

"It's just them." Augustus saw many small and medium-sized mercenary organizations along the way, but small mercenaries generally only have one or two combat teams of less than ten people, and the number of medium-sized organizations is not much larger than 100 people.

Mercenaries are often elite, not many in number, and only those who have experienced many battles and are lucky enough to survive until now. Compared with the mass-produced power armor of the regular army, they will generally add more reliability to their power armor. Parts and specialized weapons are used to deal with the complex cosmic environment and various enemies they encounter during their adventures.

"Hill's mercenary company is headquartered in Umoyan, and it can't quench your thirst far away." Augustus led Kerrigan and his mercenaries through the mercenary market, shaking his head frequently, and finally went straight to Hammer Security. headquarters.

"Before 23:[-] today, we will rush back to the fleet. The last batch of Camerian Type I armed heavy tanks (modified from bulldozers) and rail guns. And the latest procurement of cutting-edge detection helmets and goggles must be ready. Only in this way can we deal with those invisible enemies."

Now Augustus is still worried about the colonial fleet that was attacked. If the attackers are the Tadarin protoss, then they will never have any mercy for humans.

The Tadarin protoss may have attacked humans because the other party happened to come to their homeland, or it may be just a hunting game for the fun of hunting.

Hammer Security Company is one of the best mercenary organizations in the alliance today, and its headquarters occupies half a floor in this huge commercial plaza.

The company's headquarters are basically internal staff and mercenaries returning to the headquarters after completing their missions. As soon as Augustus appeared, he caught the attention of a person in charge of the Hammer Security Company.

"Hello, my manager here, Ottmar." A tall, middle-aged man received Augustus, and it took him only a few seconds to recognize the Marshal of the Revolutionary Army in front of him.

"If we are not mistaken, you should be Marshal Augustus Mengsk of the Revolutionary Army." He shook hands with Augustus and said.

"During the Four Years War, I also served as a member of the guild guards in Turasis II. When the demon of heaven fell from the sky from the 34th shelter where the federal prisoners of war were held, my snakehead team and I happened to be there to carry out tasks nearby, but because you evacuated very quickly, my people did not have time to catch up." The former guild guard said with emotion.

"But I often think, if I happen to arrive, maybe my people and I will add to your record and die in Turaxis II."

"Fortune and misfortune come together, Mr. Ultramar." Augustus shook his hand.

"I need an elite Hammer security force, about... about a few thousand people—tentative."
