StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 319 The Messenger of Justice

2492 1 Month 4 Day.

On the outskirts of Grande City, in the town of Montecatto, in the morning light.

This is a town that rose from oasis agriculture, developed irrigation and the use of giant agricultural machinery.The impact fan area at the foot of this giant crater mountain has become one of Haiji's main food production areas, and it is precisely such dotted agricultural and industrial areas that provide food and raw materials for the city.

The surrounding craters can shield the town of Montecato and the city of Grande behind it from the strong winds that can blow up houses and livestock. It is not only a natural barrier but also part of the local strange star landscape.

This used to be one of the few natural landscapes that the postcard Haiji can get, because other places are either deserts or endless craters.

However, when the new year comes, all the good things are gone.

The zerg attacked the town at midnight on January 1rd, while the people were still asleep.

Countless screaming, nightmare-like monsters descended from the sky. They had huge ferocious mouths and brightly colored shield-shaped crowns, breaking into this quiet town like a torrent in the mountains.The sounds of these hideous monsters seem to come from all human fantasy about alien monsters in thrillers, and from the screams of ghosts.

Initially, only a few people realized they were being attacked.By the time the sheriff of the town called the local garrison, the streets were already full of ferocious skinned dogs and twisted creatures like big snakes.

The swarm slaughtered more than 6000 people in one night, and only less than two hundred residents of the small town survived through the wreckage of the colonial ship left in the early colonial era and the weapons in a federal outpost.People have built the last line of defense with huge agricultural machinery and harvesters, struggling to survive in desperation.

In the morning of this day, when the morning light just sprinkled on the bloodshot people from the bunker firing holes in the cockpit of the colony mothership in the center of Montecatto, the crackling sound of zerg carapaces and spikes colliding with each other came again. .

That is the marching swarm, a swift and well-organized abomination that marches like insects across a field in summer, buzzing across the ridges.The smooth carapace of each zerg reflected a magnificent metallic luster in the sun, and their thin, veined wings vibrated the air, making a crackling sound.

The streets were already devastated, the street lamps on the side of the road were in the center of the road, and there were broken glass, rubble, and human corpses that had been bitten into shape.People died in different ways, some had their necks snapped off by a springtail that jumped onto his neck as they walked down the street, others were sliced ​​to pieces by a growling Hydralisk.

Blood stained the streets.

These ugly alien creatures, whose appearance is between reptiles and insects, were extremely strange to the people of Montecato. They only heard a few words from the radio program of UNN Cosmos News Network, but they never thought about it. Zerg will appear on the remote planet of Haji.

In just over 20 hours, those creatures that seem to have come out of a nightmare have brought too many painful memories to the people here.

Residents of the small town who stayed up all night took up their last weapons, grenade launchers, electromagnetic pistols, shotguns and even sickles used by farmers for weeding.

These weapons would allow these farmers who have never received professional military training to be more or less able to fight back against Zerg Zerg, if it weren't for Haiji's harsh strong wind environment and agricultural work forged the strong physique and tenacity of the town residents It is impossible for them to support the will at this time.

The mayor of Montecato Town, Gray, used to be a soldier and an interstellar adventurer. He has been to many places in the Koprulu star area, and he has seen the mercenary Ke Morian and the Umoyans who talk about democracy and freedom. , I have seen the most vicious people and the most righteous people.

Mayor Gray has fought against illegal colonists, mercenaries, scavengers, waste recyclers, and interstellar pirates. He knows all kinds of people, and his magnificent life is enough to write a biography.But Mayor Gray has never seen these hideous monsters in front of him.

"If Manan Thresher wants to punish the disrespectful, then she can punish me instead of the people in this town." Mayor Gray walked in front of the defense line built by more than a dozen agricultural harvesters and cranes, Constantly motivating townspeople with arms through words.

The federal sheriff of the town died heroically when the Zerg arrived, and now Mayor Gray is the only commander here: "If you persist for a day, the army will come, don't give up, for your family and children, don't give up !"

"We must continue to live!"

In the Grande area, Voodoo is a sect with considerable influence, almost able to rival Christianity.Because the voodoo priests held a witchcraft ceremony just outside the town of Montecatto just in time for the new year, many people believe that the zerg invasion is related to the voodoo goddess of death, Mana Thres of.

No one responded to Mayor Gray's words. Everyone had been fighting for a whole night and was extremely exhausted.

To this day, Mayor Grey still feels unreal that these hastily built buildings can last so long in front of the Zerg army. The only explanation is that the main force of the Zerg easily invaded Monte Catto Town. They turned to attack the city, leaving these undervalued people to struggle here.

It is impossible to expect these people who tremble when they see the zerg to resist the attack of the zerg, and the ammunition is almost exhausted. If the federal garrison in Grande does not send some people over, the remaining people will die. The hoe has to compete with the zerg.

However, Mayor Gray knew very well in his heart that the support might not come again. This time, the enemy was not only some interstellar pirates or small-scale rebels, but Zerg, a sea of ​​insects that devoured everything in the ocean.

Mayor Gray looked up into the sky, and it seemed that the huge king worm was already above his head.No one has ever taught the mayor about the zerg, but he believes it must be these giant creatures from above that are commanding the swarm.

As the buzzing sound got closer, Mayor Gray and the people around him could almost smell the stench from the zerg's bloody mouth filled with saliva and poisonous liquid.The little monsters at the front were nimbly jumping back and forth between the walls and rubble of the ruins, making piercing screams from time to time.

They looked like coyotes with skin moss, and they were remarkably ugly.

Today, Mayor Gray noticed that the attacking Zergs were no longer as orderly as before. From time to time, Zergs stopped to eat human corpses on the ground, and even fought each other for a piece of meat. The scene was bloody.

But this is not a good thing for Mayor Gray and his colony. These Zerg are no longer as orderly as before, but they are also hungrier.

The first round of fire was the few C-7 electromagnetic guns in the colony, which should have been discarded by the federal army, but it was already a magic weapon in the hands of these people.

Tyranid human weapons aren't immune to zerg carapaces, what the townspeople lack now is precision in aiming.In the face of large-scale, dense formations of Zerg, even random aiming can hit, but now it is difficult to hit the extremely sensitive Zerglings.

Mayor Gray grabbed a double-barreled shotgun that had been with him for many years and pressed it close to the gap left by the tiller and grain thresher. He fired a dozen shots without hitting, as if he was aiming The reaction speed of the springtail is faster than the speed of the bullet.

A few lucky guys or experienced hunters shot a zergling or two, but it didn't make much difference to the overall situation on the battlefield.

When the springtail climbed up the shelf of a large seed transport truck, the sound of friction between its claws and steel made the townspeople feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. Hear the excited purr of the springtail.

This made Mayor Gray think of dogs begging for food and cats playing with mice. This time, humans are just meat in the mouths of Zerg.

Someone started to cry, all courage was exhausted in the nightmarish yesterday.It was well known that once the zerg crossed the barrier built by vehicles, even a zergling not much bigger than a large dog could easily reap the lives of dozens or more people.

Mayor Gray gritted his teeth, and roared to reprimand the coward who disturbed the morale of the army, but the next moment a Fenris Zergling with a bright green carapace jumped into the crowd, killing like a wolf among sheep.

The closest to the springtail was a middle-aged man holding a semi-automatic rifle. He wore quaint frame glasses, had prominent muscles and a burly physique.The man was the town's school blacksmith, still forging farm implements and furniture using centuries-old techniques.

He was a boisterous man who used to drink with Mayor Grey.

But the Zergling just swooped forward and grabbed the blacksmith, brutally tearing the man to pieces with razor-sharp fangs and claws, who died with barely a groan.

Then it jumped up from the corpse again, arched its back and pounced on the next victim, biting a half-grown boy who was defending with the adults in half like tearing a piece of rag.More Fenrisian zerglings descended, mercilessly harvesting the lives of the people.

"No!! It's eating my leg! Ahh!"

"Help me! Help me!"

One after another, the screams further broke the townspeople's will, and the desperate wailing definitely didn't sound like a human being could utter.

Desperation didn't break the Hemingway-esque mayor, Mayor Grey, as he charged at a springtail that was biting a woman, trying to get its attention by shouting.

The Fenris springtail, which was eating the woman's soft face, was attracted by Mayor Gray's shout, and it threw away the prey it had in hand and jumped towards him. Each jump was six or seven feet high, like flying moving forward.

"Damn bastard!" Mayor Gray stood still and shot the zerg, but missed twice.When the mayor was about to reload and shoot again, the springtail was only a few feet away from him.

Mayor Gray has not yet conceded defeat, he drew out a dagger from his waist that has been with him for more than 30 years, and prepared to fight the springtail.

At this time, a roar from a fighter plane reached the ears of Mayor Grey. It was a golden-red Wraith fighter that was diving towards the ground, followed by at least twenty Wraith fighters, Avenger fighters and APOD transports ferry.The bright ice blue wake resembles the wings of a blue phoenix.

The beautiful wraith fighter rotated and used its wings and the 25mm pulse laser cannon under the belly to shoot a few orange-red beams towards the ground. After a hot burning sensation, the springtail in front of Mayor Grey It was instantly burned to ashes by the laser.

The wraith fighter flew very low, almost passing over Mayor Gray's head.

He recognized the logo on the plane's tail stabilizer almost immediately—a powerful golden arm wrapped around a whip on the plane's shiny crimson base paint, with a A golden five-pointed star.

Khal Revolutionary Army.

"It's so beautiful, look at that fighter plane!" No matter how the UNN news channel discredited this army in the past, in the eyes of Mayor Gray, they are the savior of himself and the townspeople.

"It's a fighter plane from the Revolutionary Army, they are here to save us!"

Another formation of five wraith fighter jets flew over the people, and the zerg in the crowd fell to the ground burning under the laser pulse beams.

The people who were still alive were stunned on the spot. They looked up to the sky in disbelief, cheering or crying.These people may not recognize that this is the famous Keha rebel army and not a regular army of the Tyrann Federation, but they know that it is a human fighter, a human army.

Two APOD-33 transport ships with the same gold and red painting tore through the sky, and landed among the people with the roar of engines and the strong wind from the propellers, and Goliath armed robots stepped forward through the open hatch door. Walking out with heavy steps, the rotating automatic cannon swept away the remaining zerglings, and the torrent of caseless bullets was like a roaring torrent of steel.

A ferocious Fenris Zergling was about to pounce on a panicked child, but it was knocked down by bullets from its 30mm cannon.

A modified Goliath Armor uses a diamond drill on its modified autonomous multipurpose arm to mash the crown and brain of a Hydralisk before stomping to death a machine-gunned Fenris Zerglings.

A group of Revolutionary Army soldiers dressed in red power armor and fully armed, the leading soldier stretched out his hand and showed the armband with the black panda head on his right arm, making an offensive gesture.

"Kill all these bugs!" The Political Commissar of the Revolutionary Army waved his powerful right hand.

"All civilians board the ship immediately, we are the Revolutionary Army."

"I repeat, we are the Revolutionary Army."

　Although the progress of saving manuscripts is impressive, let’s ask for a recommendation ticket. I want to get a milestone of [-] recommendations.

　　Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
