StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 216 Tadarin's Grand Plan

SCT 2490.4.19 13:49
The Intensive Care Unit of the Hospital of the Baishir Revolutionary Army Command Center.

When Augustus, who was wearing the power armor, stepped into the intensive care room, the servo system in the armor hummed slightly. The CMC power armor was so bulky that he had to bend over to walk through the door.

Lisa Keshidi, the hospital administrator with long ginger wavy hair, was waiting for Augustus with several doctors, and beside them stood two Revolutionary Army ghost agents.The latter has a dignified expression and a serious atmosphere.

There are only more than 20 ghost agents in the revolutionary army, seven of them are from the Victor V federal scientific research base, and the rest are ghost agents from Alpha Squadron.After the Alpha Squadron Ghosts had their psionic suppressors removed and their past memories restored, they turned to serve Augustus' Revolutionary Army out of hatred for the Federation government and the Ghost Academy.

Due to the Ghost Project, almost all ghost agents currently serving in the Tyrann Federation have experienced separation from their original families at the age of 3 to 5. What awaits these children next is cruel training. They are trained to be powerful human fighters, and Learn how to control the psionic energy in its body.

Augustus attaches great importance to these ghost agents, in other words, he is obsessed with collecting psykers.

After Augustus walked in, Kerrigan, Swan and others behind him entered through the door. Because there were too many guards following him, more people had to stand outside the door.

"This Tadarin protoss was seriously injured. Rather than saying that our weapons caused those wounds that are fatal to humans, it is better to say that they were traumatized a long time ago." Lisa and Augustus behind Kerrigan looked at each other and said.

"It's hard to imagine what kind of person in the universe can bring such trauma to such a highly technologically advanced race. If that's the case, there will probably be one more enemy of mankind. But from the analysis of the wound, It was his fellow man who gave him this wound."

"That must have been a nightmare." Augustus looked at the Tal'darin Protoss lying on the white textile sheet.

And Augustus can confirm that the Tadarin spider-type mech that appeared on the battlefield is undoubtedly the protoss' dragon knight walking mecha, and in front of him is a tadarin protoss dragon knight mech pilot.

The Tadarin protoss was lying naked on the hospital bed, covered only by a silk quilt.He was barely human, his right leg was cut off at the root by some kind of weapon, and the arm on the same side suffered the same trauma, and his skin was covered with scars, but even so, the eye sockets on his face still radiated scarlet light, It seems that there are two red stars in it.

Those are not human eyes made of whites and pupils, but points of light emitting pure light. When the spirits of the protoss become emotionally unstable, their eyes will undulate like flowing water.

"Tadarin Protoss, I am the leader of these humans, Augustus Mengsk." Augustus looked at the Tadarin Protoss on the sick ship.

However, Augustus did not get the response he expected. The Tadarin protoss kept looking at Augustus with its eyes like red stars, but remained silent.

"He refuses to communicate with humans—but judging from the information currently available, the Tadarin protoss can communicate directly with humans at the 'conscious level', ignoring the language gap." Lisa said to Augustus.

"Then can he understand what I'm saying?" Augustus looked at Lisa.

"It's not clear whether Tadarin can easily master our language, but at least they can read your mind." Lisa nodded and replied, "Just like our psykers, they can easily read your mind." Insight into the minds of other creatures."

"You don't know what kind of opportunity is in front of you, Tadalin." Augustus turned to the Tadarin protoss, and approached a little, while his guards kept watching the Tadarin closely. Lin Protoss, no one can guarantee that a disabled Tadarin Protoss cannot use his psychic powers to attack the enemy.

Although it seems that the psykers of the Tadarin protoss are also strong and weak, only the most powerful Tadarin can release psionic attacks comparable to magic attacks.

"You can achieve your revenge in my hands. Imagine the Taldarin protoss who caused you to fall to this point, and those compatriots who watched all this indifferently." Augustus said.

Augustus knew that, unlike their self-proclaimed orthodox Aiur protoss compatriots, the Tadarim was a race where the winner was king, and in the desperate fights and intrigues among the same race, the strong would gain status and rights, while the loser has nothing.

Every Tadalin is a powerful warrior, because the weakest will be eliminated, just like the Spartans in the Earth era, and the relationship between Tadalin and Tadalin is the relationship between lions and lions.

This technologically advanced civilization still follows the slave system even now, and they are equally cruel to their own race and enemies.

Hearing what Augustus said, the Tadarin protoss turned its head, as if touched.

"Marshal Mengsk, my assistants and I have obtained two spider-type mechs from the Tadalin Protoss." After a few seconds of silence, Swan's assistant Victor Kaczynski said.

"We discovered that the cockpit of this spider-like mech was filled with a life-sustaining nutrient solution, and the pilot in it was directly connected to the connected mech through a neural link device-this technology is almost unheard of," he continued. : "Thanks to this technology, the driver and the mecha are almost one body, and those mechanical feet are as flexible as their limbs, as if the machine is itself."

"But the cockpits of these mechas are all sealed. In other words, the engineers of the Tadarin Protoss welded the hatches in a crude and primitive way. Once the pilot sits in, he will probably never be opportunity to come out."

"Cruel," Kerrigan added.

"But maybe Jimmy will like this kind of thing, he can't wait to integrate with his vulture car." Augustus just shrugged, intending to mock the Tadarin protoss.

"That's enough, you are not qualified to comment on Tal'darin, the chosen one of the Creator." Finally, the Tal'darin protoss spoke, and his voice accurately reached the minds of every human being present.

Perhaps this Tal'darin was used to domineering in his most powerful days, but after losing a fight with a challenger he was disqualified from arrogance, and all confidence and status were taken from him along with it.

"How can you avenge me with your primitive and backward tools?" The Tadarin protoss only had Augustus in their eyes now.

"When the ancestors of human beings set foot on the stars, I was already the most powerful Tadarin warrior. Your civilization is still as naive as a baby in our eyes. When the core fire of our spaceship shines on the stars, human beings are still on the ground Playing with mud, fiddling with simple tools, making slingshots out of sticks."

"You know far more about the Tal'darim than your kind I can't understand," he said, staring at Augustus.

"Even the immortal species can't know the ancients and the present." Augustus replied: "Humans are too young in the Koprulu sector and even in the Milky Way, but we know the power of flames. Compared with you, we at least have the power of your envy." teeth and nails—not to mention the disparity of the whole race, at least in Baishir, our army is much stronger than yours."

"For you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I don't think a Tal'darin Protoss locked in power armor has any future." Augustus said, "I'm just giving you a choice. Chance."

"I don't think your merciless countrymen and tyrannical rulers are of any value to your devotion to death," he said.

"If you can provide us with some information about Baisheerta Darin, such as the location of the city on the ground or more information. I can guarantee that even if you are cast aside by your people, humans will still worship you For the honored guest."

"Oh——you may not be able to understand it with your poor brain capacity. People don't care whether ants regard themselves as gods." Tadalin said after a moment of silence.

"." Augustus will only show his anger when he thinks it should be: "You think my patience is infinite? Tell you what I will do if you don't cooperate. For a man who once killed me The alien race of the people has no mercy whatsoever."

"I will send you to the alien laboratory, let my psyker use the cruelest means to obtain your secrets, until you speak the truth, and then you will become the carrier of living experiments. How long do you have to live? How long will the torture last?"

"...You're right." The Tadarin protoss saw his future from Augustus's mind: "I have no future since I was stuffed into that damn mech, and I can no longer join Lakshir ceremony, lost the qualification to be promoted to become an ascended person."

"Even the slaves of Lord Tadalin look down on Tadalin among the dragon knights. We are the bottom of the bottom."

"I know the locations of several outposts," said the Tadarin protoss, "but I'm not sure if the warriors there have evacuated."

"Guard, map." Augustus waved his hand and walked to the hospital bed, almost one step away from the Tadarin protoss.

A revolutionary army soldier in crimson power armor handed over a holographic projection projector. When the soldier pressed the start button of the projector with his finger in the iron sheet, a holographic projection image of a green planet Immediately appeared.

These three-dimensional images are scanned by the Revolutionary Army fleet and unmanned reconnaissance drones parked in synchronous orbit and low-Earth orbit, and can be accurate to every piece of jungle and rock in Baishir.

The Tadarin protoss took a look at the holographic projection of the planet Baishir. It was not difficult for him to use human instruments. The protoss also had similar devices, and they were much more advanced.

He stretched out his remaining hand towards the map made of pure green holographic projection light. The holographic projection immediately expanded to cover half the size of the intensive care unit, and then continued to shrink as the Tadarin protoss swiped. , until it was fixed on the backlight side of the planet Baishir at this moment, that is, the other side of the hemisphere where Augustus was still in the night.

"I only remember the few outposts I've been to," said the Tal'darin protoss. "Every Breath of the Creator altar is different—I should remember."

The Tadarin Protoss spoke and marked several points on the unfolded map, and he even marked the possible number of garrisons with his sharp-nailed fingers.

"How many people are there in Tadarim of Baishir?" Augustus asked him again.

"Probably between 5000 and 100 people, we have three aircraft carriers and more than [-] transport ships." The Tadarin protoss said when returning the holographic projection projector to the soldier.

"It's less than I expected." Augustus nodded and said to Kerrigan beside him.

"Tell the staff that I'm calling a new operations conference in two hours."

"How many planets like Baishere do you have, and how many cylindrical battleships that appeared on Baishere before?"

"Countless." Tadalin said: "Our footprints are all over the galaxy, and Slane's death fleet can easily defeat your wrecked ships over the Baishel star."

"But as far as I know, you are only part of a very small fleet." Augustus smiled after he finished speaking.

"Shut down your arrogance, for it is usually associated with ignorance and stupidity." He acted as if he was contemptuous of Tal'darin's arrogance.

"Tell me, how much do you know about humans?"

"When the human spaceship first appeared in our field of vision, we paid attention to this young race." The Tadarin protoss said: "There are still many such races in the long river of history, and some perished in civil wars. Some died before the interstellar era. Human beings are no different, you are cunning and greedy, backward and ignorant."

"The human planet is too far away from our territory. The high-ranking lords of Slane strictly forbid us to contact humans, because destroying a weak race will definitely attract the attention of our hateful compatriots Aiur Protoss. Of course, we are not afraid They, but for the grand scheme of things."

"Plan?" Augustus asked. "What plan."

"Conquer the entire universe." The Tadarin Protoss said with extreme confidence, as if he took it for granted.

"...It's really quite great-I have one more question." Augustus nodded and commented.Augustus still has a Tyrann Federation to deal with, but he has no time to care about Tadalin.

"What is the El Protoss?"

"Our compatriots far away on the planet Aiur, they always pursue flashy golden armor, hypocritical and cowardly." The Tadarin Protoss said: "Compared to this, the Nerazim Protoss of Sacoolas is the same as in the gutter. rats, for stealth is the act of cowards."

"Okay, I probably know." Augustus asked again.

"Do you know Al's coordinates?"

"I don't know." The Tadarin protoss continued, "Although our ancestors came from Aiur, it was a long time ago. Only high-level lords may know the exact coordinates now."

"What do you want to know about Aiur's coordinates? The Aiur Protoss thought they hid it well—it was a secret."

"I'm just curious." Augustus said, "But you should know the coordinates of Slane, or if you know more about the Xel'Naga artifact fragments."

"If you don't know, tell me who does."
