StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 229 Dorothy Mengsk
This multi-layer mobile fortress is a strategic weapon of the United States of Umoyan. The total area of ​​each layer is equivalent to the size of a moon. It has built-in nuclear weapon silos, physics laboratories, scientific research stations, and several giant shipyards.

If necessary, the huge Umoyan mobile base can be moved to other galaxies through the hyperspace warp engine. At present, the United States of Umoyan has deployed such fortresses in many node galaxies, and some fortresses are even as far away as Koprulu. outside the area.

It wasn’t just Augustus’s sister Dorothy and nephew Valerian who came today, his mother Catherine was standing and watching him, accompanied by hundreds of security personnel and Umoyan soldiers carrying Gauss rifles on their shoulders.

These Umoyan soldiers wore dark blue military uniforms and pointed military caps with pale yellow helmets.Their woolen single-breasted uniforms were embroidered with the emblem of the Umoyan United States in blue and white thread on the chest, and on the shoulders were large gold epaulet tassels.

Each soldier is equipped with an AGR rifle with a military thorn and a rapier with a cage-shaped arm guard. The soldiers hold their heads high and their chests high, and Augustus can't find any faults in their strict military appearance.

In addition to Lieutenant Admiral Ivern Stamford, whom Augustus had already met, an admiral of the Umoyan Guardians Navy and two sector commanders were also present today.

"Augustus, we miss you very much." Dorothy Mengsk ran in front of Augustus with her long skirt that reached the floor, and hugged her brother tightly.

Dorothy is just as beautiful and charming as her mother when she was young. The eyebrows inherited from the Mengsk family add a different kind of heroism to her, and the dark gray pupils seem to be cut sapphire.Dorothy is no longer the little one in the eyes of her father and brother, a little doll walking around with a pony toy in her arms.She has grown into a beautiful girl with tall legs and long legs, with youthful collagen on her cheeks.

Dorothy stood on tiptoe, put her arms around her brother's neck and rubbed her smooth white cheek against his brother's face, like a sweet cat.

Anyone who thinks the daughter of Angus and Catherine is a effeminate and pampered noble lady will pay for their stupidity.Now Dorothy Mengsk has controlled two-thirds of the Mengsk family's affiliated companies under the direction of her parents. Her talent in management and finance enables her to easily manage the financial empire that originally belonged to the Mengsk family.

Her many high-return investments in Umoyan soon proved her excellent vision in the financial field, and Dorothy was undoubtedly a genius in this area.

And just like her father and brothers, Dorothy is also a master of swordsmanship and fighting.Even without a sword, Dorothy can take down an ordinary grown man in two strokes.If she took up arms, she could slash wolves, tigers and leopards with a knight's double-edged epee.

"That's the boss's sister." Harnack pointed to Augustus's back in surprise and said, "My God, this is the best girl I've ever seen in my life."

After saying that, Harnack immediately covered his mouth, for fear that Augustus would hear it.

"This is my own sister." Tychus responded flatly.He knew that Dorothy Mengsk was almost equal in status and status to Princess Keha IV, and that if anyone dared to hurt her, her powerful brothers would jump up and send him to be shot or fed to worms.

And Tychus still prefers the women in the strip clubs, compared to the inexplicably dangerous women around Augustus.

"Augustus valued this sister more than anything else. When he was in Turasis II, Augustus was always tense, like a vicious lion. Only when he wrote letters to his sister did he Only then will it become gentle." Reynolds said.

"This is so rare—no wonder he always ignored me when I asked him to play games." Harnack looked at Valerian behind Dorothy again: "There are so many younger sisters in rich families."

"I remember that Augustus said that he has only one sister. He also has a nephew. It is the son of his brother Arcturus." Renault rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"Maybe I misremembered." He shrugged, not caring much about the matter.

"That's a boy." Sarah Kerrigan looked at Valerian and said, reading his deep memory through telepathy: "It seems to be a tradition in the Mengsk family. The second boy in the family Wearing skirts until the age of ten."

"Oh—oh?" Harnack nodded first, and then, as if he had discovered something, he showed a gloomy expression of a collapsed world view for a while.

Kerrigan's face changed, too, because the bastard was undoubtedly thinking of Augustus in the dress.

"You must never mention this to Augustus." Renault shrugged indifferently, he didn't care about Augustus' dark history at all: "Since Augustus never mentioned this to us If anything, it means that he finds it embarrassing."

"Uncle Augustus." Valerian walked to Augustus at this moment.

"I always remember what you said, practice swordsmanship, study politics and economics, now they can't say I'm a sissy, I'm a man now."

While Dorothy was in Augustus' arms, Valerian looked up at his uncle.

Not only did Valerian wear a pale blue skirt and a small white blouse with lace and silk, but he also wore a woolen shawl with a gold border.Obviously, the blood of the Umoyan Pasteur family gave Valerian beautiful blond hair and soft facial contours. He also inherited the hawk-like curve of the high nose bridge and stormy dark gray from the Mengsk family. pupil.

Father Arcturus gave the fair-haired little boy the regal decisiveness of the Mengsk family, and his gentle mother gifted him with the gift of benevolence and grace.

"Valerian, Xiaowa." Augustus said, "It seems that I will soon be unable to hold you."

"You've done a good job—people in the Mengsk family are born to do great things." He repeated what his father, Angus, had taught his heirs from generation to generation.

"This dress." Suddenly the corners of Augustus' eyes jumped up.His old, dark memories that had been mothballed slowly emerged: Valerian's clothes were the same style as Augustus had worn as a child.

Poor Valerian, if Augustus had not tried so hard to transfer his mother and sister to Eumoyan, he would not have suffered such a terrible fate just under the care of his mother Juliana.

"This dress?" Valerian tugged at his little skirt.

"It's comfortable to wear. But if I train with Master Judas to wear it, Umoyan's soldiers will gather around me to watch."

"That's not a good thing." Augustus moved Dorothy's head away from him, came to Valerian, leaned over and held his nephew's face: "If those people despise you because of this, then Knock them all down. To be the heir to the Mengsk family, you have to work harder."

After speaking, Augustus took his nephew's hand and walked towards his mother, waving to General Yumoyan and the soldiers lined up to welcome him as he walked.

Kerrigan, Raynor and others followed Augustus, forming a moving fan with the Revolutionary Army soldiers spread out behind.Everyone looked at Augustus, and at this moment it seemed that the lights were all focused on Augustus alone.

Augustus was wearing a dark gray military uniform, a dark red cloak, and a bronze medal on his chest.He held Dorothy's hand in one hand and Valerian in the other, walking the red carpet of a head of state on a diplomatic occasion.

"Hello, Admiral Ted." Augustus shook hands with Umoyan's naval admirals one by one, and then waved again.When attending the banquets of the nobles, Augustus was always graceful and comfortable in speech, and now he was full of majesty with his gestures and gestures.

"Lieutenant General Heinz, I heard about your great achievements in defeating the Trinidad pirates when I was in Keha."

"Ah, I'm Augustus Mengsk."

Umoyan's generals also showed extremely high quality. They all graduated from the United States Military Academy, and they reached their current status by virtue of their own ability and accumulation of qualifications rather than family fame.

The aristocratic officers of the Tyranid Federation are used to bossing around, and they are always very proud, while the officer system of the Kel-Morian Federation is completely different from other regimes. The nature of their officers is closer to high-ranking officials of enterprises than soldiers in the strict sense.

The senior officers of the Umoyan army are generally born in the civilian and middle classes, and their promotion channels are relatively fairer. Soldiers can obtain their due status by virtue of ability rather than background.Among the officers of the Umoyan army, there is no shortage of capable officers, and they will not be incompetent.

Augustus talked for a long time with the generals.He briefly talked about some of his key deployments in the Mar Sara campaign, and then he mentioned that he encountered an alien race on a certain planet.

The Umoyan generals attach great importance to this. For a long time, the United States has always wanted to obtain mysterious technology from the alien relics they discovered, but so far they have not had direct contact with the protoss, so they have always Not much progress has been made.

In a few words, Augustus got to the Umoyan's itching, and then reluctantly talked about how he had pried off many complete Tadalin Protoss altars and seized some unimaginable things. Psionic weapons.

Umoyan's generals immediately decided that they would pay heavily for these shrines and protoss weapons.

After a while, Augustus finally finished dealing with the enthusiastic Umoyan soldiers, and promised that the cooperation between the Revolutionary Army and the Umoyan Defense Army would, as always, include the scope of technology sharing.

After bypassing those Umoyan generals and handing them over to Lei Nuo and others, Augustus walked towards his mother, Catherine.

"Mother, I will stay in Umoyan for a while." Augustus was already much taller than his mother. He was taller than Nianqiang, and his broad shoulders seemed to be able to support a mountain.

Augustus was saddened to see some wrinkles on Catherine's face, but he also knew that no one could escape the years.

"Augustus, my boy," said Catherine, smiling.

"You are no longer that toddler. You have full wings and can withstand strong winds to fly. We no longer worry about you struggling to survive, but we always worry that one day there will be bad news from the Revolutionary Army." She was gentle. say.

"Angus always said you were more like your grandfather, the man who dared to walk through the forest with a shotgun. People in those days always said that Augustus Mengsk was a strong bow, and the more menace the enemy posed The bigger it is, the bigger the counterattack he will give."

"But I still hope that you don't put too much pressure on yourself. In your letter to me, you always said that you carry the hope of all Keha people on your body, and you don't allow failure."

"...I will." Augustus said after a few seconds of silence, looking at his mother.

"Where is Angus? I know he has joined the Umoyan Council."

"He can't get away today." Catherine sighed: "You will see him."

"I heard that Angus has aged a lot and has gray hair." Augustus said.

"After the situation stabilized, some people began to complain that the uprising initiated by Angus was the root cause of the destruction of Keha IV," he said.

"Those of us are not always strong and unshakable. When people start to miss the past, it is inevitable to blame others for their pain. And we will always complain that we can touch it and look up. Those who come here will not curse the federal parliament far away in Tarsonis, because the other party can't hear it and doesn't care."

"We couldn't stop the gossip and the resentment," Catherine said.

"Whatever prestige Angus had in Keha in the past, the backlash given to him by this prestige will be even greater."

"We shall be victorious," said Augustus.

"But no one believed it," Catherine said. "Many of them had lost their nerve and were wallowing in mourning for the past."

"Angus did not excuse the destruction of Keha, he put all the blame on himself. Announce to everyone that you were against the premature uprising, and you can't support him," she said.

"And your successive victories made the name Augustus gradually replace Angus among the Keha people. The Keha people began to regard you as the real savior and the undefeated military god. As long as you take back Keha Ha, they will gladly accept your leadership."

"This honor is not so easy for me to bear. There has never been any savior in this world, nor does it rely on any gods." Augustus said: "I am just an ordinary human being. If someone thinks that I am If it is greatness, then my greatness should come from the greatness of all Keha people and all mankind.

Corporal Faraday and Kerrigan immediately jotted down what Augustus had said, and the Pantyran revolutionaries would soon make it a must-read.

"Where is Arcturus now?" Augustus asked again.

"He has finished the work in the mining area and is going to return to Umoyan after temporarily handing over the work to his assistant," Catherine said.

At this time, Lieutenant General Warfield, Commodore Duke, and Major General Rundstein each led a centurion from their battleships and came towards Augustus.

Warfield was at the forefront. He was Arcturus Mengsk's old subordinate, the longest among the generals, and he seemed to have become the second-ranked figure in the revolutionary army besides Marshal Augustus.

For Augustus, Warfield, even a reliable general, was an elder.Most importantly, he once learned about the dark history of Augustus from Arcturus' jokes.

"Arcturs' child. The tradition of the Mengsk family cannot be abandoned. Originally, Arcturus was strongly opposed to this matter, thinking that it would damage his son's not-so-much masculinity." He said Say.

"But then we mentioned you, and he decided it was acceptable for Valerian to wear a dress."
