StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 277 The Federal Army Splashed by AOE
In the center of the main city of Ansardar, a villa that originally belonged to the Antiga resource crocodile was recently converted into a command headquarters.Under this low-level Palladian classicism trial building mainly made of red bricks and diamond-shaped light-transmitting glass, there is a safe chamber built with thick alloy steel walls. It goes deep into the ground, and the thickness of the reinforced wall alone exceeds 60cm, enough Defend against nuclear blasts from tactical nukes.

Considering that the Tyranid Federation has sent ghost agents to assassinate those who hold political dissent more than once, using bloody and cruel methods to eliminate dissidents, although Augustus himself often appears at the forefront of the war, Marshal Revolution The Guard still wanted him to be in the safest place while commanding the troops.

Even with Ghost agents like Sarah Kerrigan protecting Augustus, Corporal Faraday still believes it's not foolproof.Now not only the Tyranid Federation, but even the zerg are thinking about Augustus's life. As for what the protoss think, no one knows, and it is hard to guarantee that they will not have the day when they will tear their faces with the revolutionary army.

In the Revolutionary Army, there are tough guys who can lead soldiers into battle and generals like Warfield who are capable of commanding the overall situation. As long as Augustus is still standing on the battlefield, the Revolutionary Army is an army with a soul.

"People in several cities near the main city of Ansardar captured the federal government in the city after you broadcast to the whole of Antiga. They took off the federal flag on the city government building and burned it, and replaced it with The red flag of the Revolutionary Army." In the underground safe room, Kerrigan was giving a military report to Augustus.

"Good news is coming from other parts of the world, too, where federal officials are leading the rebellion and have hidden our flags in their homes - along with pleas for us to rescue or exterminate the local zerg ."she says.

"Maybe they still have the Kelmerian flag hidden in their house, it's no surprise." Augustus laughed it off.

"We don't have that many manpower to guard dozens of hundreds of cities and settlements. It is best to have as few areas and directions as possible." He stood upright with one hand behind his back and the other The supporter is marking something on the tactical map on the LED screen.

Above it is the star map of Antiga's main star and its two satellites, as well as the map of the main battlefield on the surface of the planet. The battle line covered by it stretches over ten thousand miles.

"Concentrate the main population in the largest cities before sending troops to garrison, and then build defenses with the help of psychic disruptors. Let the locals stockpile food and prepare for a long battle. We must defend Antioch add."

Augustus was talking, and while staring at the battle map on the screen, he picked up a small glass of brandy from the wine cabinet next to him.To this day, the Mengsk family's penchant for alcohol still influences Augustus, as can be seen in his father and brother.

When Augustus was thinking or feeling dull and miserable, when coffee had failed him, he would often drink a little to cheer him up.Augustus was a good drinker, and he always tasted spirits lightly. The last time he was drunk was when Josephine died.

"Your orders will be carried out as always." Kerrigan casually pinned her long fiery red hair on her chest as she spoke, and walked past the mahogany table and chairs on one side.

The underground safe room is not spacious, only the lower Augustus, Kerrigan and Corporal Faraday and their elite guard soldiers can be accommodated.

Even so, this underground secret room with a mahogany floor has all the necessary equipment, including automatic washing facilities, tables, chairs, and beds, and the warehouses on the lower floors store enough food for the occupants to live for several years. water and food for a long time.

The secret room is powered by a miniature fusion reactor for all the facilities inside. Even if the entire planet becomes dead silent, the underground safe secret room can still maintain normal operation.

Such standards are all prepared to deal with a possible nuclear war, because after the Federation used nuclear bombs to destroy Korha IV, people no longer doubt that the Federation government will impose nuclear bombs on the rebellious colonies under his rule.

"The network of Gum swarms near Ansardar is still increasing, and the detected signals of Zerg life forms have exceeded 20." When Kerrigan approached Augustus, the screen The machine intelligence lieutenant in the bottom right corner of the center begins to issue warnings.

"The swarm is about to launch an attack," said the mechanical adjutant.

"Sarah, how is the deployment of the psychic disruptor?" Augustus drank the wine in his glass.

"The engineers of the engineering team have assembled and are activating the psychic disruptor. The lead engineer reported to me that they will be able to activate the psychic disruptor in 10 minutes." Kerrigan said.

"The sooner the better." As Augustus said, the screen switched to the aerial view of the city of Ansardar taken by the fleet in high-altitude orbit.

At this time, swarms of Gum insects with dark orange carapaces are gathering on the high platforms in all directions of Ansardar, and the squeaky and howling alien monsters are rushing towards the alloy steel fortification walls outside the city like a rising tide, buried deep in the The bunkers on the ground and the missile clusters on the walls calibrated their shooting angles with the buzzing sound of rotation.

On the tallest building in the Ansardar complex, there seem to be countless golden and red flags of the Revolutionary Army flying, and Wraith fighters, Avenger fighters, and Kemerian Cerberus fighters painted with the emblem of the Revolutionary Army are flying in the sky , The flying formation roared over the city, shaking the glass windows of the residential buildings to rattle.

In the city's squares and other public places, hundreds of thousands of Ansardars are spontaneously gathering with weapons, ready to support the front line at any time.

Compared with the period of federal rule, the people of Antiga are obviously more willing to support the military operations of the Revolutionary Army.This is not only because of the Revolutionary Army’s commitment to fulfilling its revolutionary ideals, but also because, compared with the Revolutionary Army, the Federal Army is more like the terrorists and butchers who killed the old, the weak, women and children as promoted by the Federal Government.

And when the swarm was getting closer and closer to Ansardar, the psychic disruptor in the center of the city was activated, and an invisible wave spread like ripples on the water surface and spread in all directions.

And just like what Augustus saw, the Zerg Zerg, which was approaching Ansardargam, suddenly stopped their steps. In the front were Zerglings, Hydra Hydralisks, Thunder Beasts, and Scorpions. The army of swarms composed of , different dragons, and swarm guardians stopped in the process of advancing at high speed, and fell into a state of sluggishness, as if they were intelligent machines that had not received instructions.

The tight and orderly attacking formation then became chaotic, and those who had been berserk began to wander in a state of confusion. Some particularly tyrannical Zergs even extended their fangs and sharp claws to their compatriots.

Not long after, the swarm began to fall into a frenzy of killing each other, and the zerg born in different main hives were all killing each other.

The psychic disruptors covered an area within twenty miles of Ansardar, disrupting the control of the cerebrates of the garm swarm over their pack members, causing the zerg among them to attack each other like their ancestors on Zerus , fighting on their own.

Soon, rivers of blood were flowing outside the city of Ansardar, and the zerg were fighting each other and falling under the fangs and claws of their own kind.

The different dragons in the sky wrestled together, like falcons tearing apart, and the blasters, driven by their instincts, uncontrollably crashed into the helpless overlords floating in the air, and the scarlet blood, carapaces, and organs were like a torrential rain Like falling to the ground.

The remaining swarm retreated into the corridor of the tunnel worm in doubt.The cerebrum, the ruler of the Gum swarm, will probably spend quite a while figuring out what kind of weapon the humans in Antiga used to cause such chaos, causing him to lose control over the members of the group.

This is likely to be a bolt from the blue for this cunning cerebrum, and since the Swarm Master created these higher swarm intelligences, they have never lost control over the members of their pack.

"Very good. Swan and the others did a good job." Augustus could hear the cheers of the staff officers on the command channel, which meant that humans already had weapons that could effectively counter the Zerg.

However, at the same time, the sound of glass shattering suddenly came from the underground safe room, and Corporal Faraday and the guards pulled out their guns in unison.

"What's the matter? Honey." The smile on Augustus's face suddenly froze, and he turned his head and glanced at Kerrigan with sharp eyes.

For Augustus, whose PSI value is only 3 (most of the Tyranids' psychic levels are between 0 and 2), this man-made psychic waveform can only bring him a slight stimulation. Pain, but in Kerrigan's mind, which was extremely sensitive to psionic energy, it was a huge roar.

Where Augustus couldn't see, Kerrigan frowned, and her powerful psychopathic ability detonated a wall lamp with golden patterns and all the wine bottles and glasses on the table just by overflowing, Zhu The red port wine was immediately spilled all over the floor.

Seeing Augustus' eagle-like gaze, Kerrigan backed away from him.Kerrigan has painful memories of losing control of her psionic powers, and she fears that others, especially Augustus, will fear herself because of it.

However, what Kerrigan didn't expect was that Augustus turned around and hugged her in his arms without hesitation.

"Calm down, everything will be fine, this psionic power is just a breeze on the ocean to you." Augustus said.

Seeing this, Corporal Faraday and the others put away their weapons and turned to clean up the glass shards shattered by Kerrigan's psychic power.

"Does the psionic disruptor affect you, too?" he asked.

"I can feel my psychic powers being weakened," Kerrigan said. "...but it's not obvious."

"Obviously the zerg's psychic powers are different from ours." Augustus believes that this weakening may not be a bad thing for Kerrigan, which means that the possibility of the Overmind finding her is reduced. up.

"What's your current psionic level?" he asked Kerrigan.

"It doesn't look like it's changed." Kerrigan put down his eyepiece. "It's still 10."

"...I know this feeling, all the top students say that." Augustus shrugged.

Kerrigan backed away from Augustus' arms, blushing.Although Kerrigan also longs to feel protected, she is not the kind of weak girl. In fact, Kerrigan can break a man's neck with a kick while wearing a ghost combat suit.

"Adjutant, contact the engineering team on the Hyperion and ask them to make more psychic disruptors. I need to deploy this kind of equipment throughout Antiga." Augustus said, facing the screen again.

"At the same time, I want them to improve on this basis. Since we can create a psychic disruptor, we can make it a portable weapon."

"What is the federal landing force in Antiga doing now?"

"Commander, the detectors have detected a large number of Zergs appearing near the Federation station, and the Zergs near Ansardar are gathering there," the mechanical adjutant on the screen reported to Augustus.

"It is expected that the federal army will be overwhelmed by the swarm in 15 minutes."

"What happened?" Kerrigan scanned the screen, but it didn't take long for her to figure it out.

"In Jimmy's words, wow—someone's going to have some bad luck," Augustus said.

"They originally came to deal with us, but after we used the psychic disruptors, the Zerg would find that the only enemy left on this land was the Federation Army. After all, the Federation's base is not far from us. "He says.

"If the cerebrum of the Gum Swarm has the same intelligence and a little emotion as humans, he will definitely feel annoyed. And the federal army, which knows nothing about it, is the object of its anger."

"The Rangers of the Revolutionary Army called the headquarters. I'm Jim. The bugs are heading towards the Federation's base—what an eye opener." Renault's voice came from the headquarters' communication equipment.

"Whoa—somebody's in trouble," he said.

"At your order, my men and I are racing 20 miles from the Federal compound. Intervene? We're ready to tap dance on the corpses of the Federals."

"You know, Jimmy, this matter is beneficial to us. Be careful of the Federation's man-made disasters." Augustus said: "Pay attention, and always monitor the communications of the Federal Landing Force."

"Happy to hear." Reynolds said, "They asked for this. If these people stayed in the orbiting fleet honestly, they wouldn't be so unlucky today."

"Okay. I'll keep an eye on them," he said before turning off the comm.

"Adjutant, switch the monitoring channel to the main channel," Augustus said.

"Maybe the cerebrum of the Zerg Swarm is looking for the difference between us and the Federation, the two human armies? We will never be able to figure out what is going on in the minds of the Zerg. Their moral values ​​and ways of thinking are different. Very different from humans."

Augustus had been staring at the main screen until ten minutes later, when the radio communication on the monitoring channel heard bursts of cries of the Federal Landing Force being swallowed up by the raging swarm of Gum bugs, he left there in silence .
