StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 321 Governor Haiji
Sunsets in Grande are as punctual as sunrises.

In the past, Hedge Governor Ent McMaster would always stand on the top floor of the Governor's Mansion in Grande at this time, admiring the silvery whiteness of Grande City surrounding the city center in the glorious but short afterglow of sunset High-altitude tracked suspension train tracks and shuttles between interstellar ports and space.

In the fading afterglow, the roofs of the urban area were coated with a layer of gold.When countless dim colorful lights are on, the governor will think of the prosperous super metropolis of Tarsonis instead of this backward planet that is as desolate as a stone.

Planets and cities should crawl at the feet of the founding family McMaster.But now, the venerable Viceroy Hagie, the colony's chief voice and steward of the system, is crawling shivering at the feet of rebel leader Augustus Mengsk.

Maybe it was because he heard that Augustus Mengsk would eat people, or heard the rumors that the Revolutionary Army had shot federal officials, but he didn't even dare to look up at the man in the dark gray army coat in front of him.

"Hello, Mr. Ent McMaster, I met your cousin in Tarsonis a few years ago. He is a very easy man." Augustus inlaid a Sitting down on the luxurious chair with huge sapphires, in the strong wind from the hem of the dark gray cloak, Augustus raised one foot and put it on top of the other.

"I hope you do too."

At this moment, Governor Ent McMaster was kneeling at the feet of Augustus in a posture similar to prostration.Fortunately, the entire floor of the governor's office is covered with soft wool carpets, otherwise the governor must have been shivering with cold when the cold wind blew in at the door.

It's just that Augustus never asked McMaster to kneel, nor would he ask anyone to kneel to him.Rather than saying that Governor Hedge knelt down in front of Augustus, it would be better to say that he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

When Augustus just walked in from the outside, his cold gray eyes just glanced at McMaster, causing him to lie on the ground in fright.This made Augustus wonder what false claims the federal government and UNN had made to him. Apart from eating children, he didn't know what the federation had done recently.

"There is no need to do this politely, Mr. Governor." Tychus and Corporal Faraday stood behind Augustus. The former was a burly man with a hideous scar on his face and fierce eyes, the latter The latter, though much more respectable looking, was holding a Gauss rifle in his hand.

Tychus stared mockingly at Governor Hage's trembling body: "I thought that at least those who could become governors were capable people, now look at these crooked melons. Jujube, a demented child can control a colony, and the Federation is completely finished."

"How many federal governors have we met in these years? Except for that hunk, Pryor, the others seem to have no good end?"

Hearing what Tychus said, the fat accumulated on Governor McMaster's face suddenly trembled.

The McMaster family is one of the founding families of the main star of Tarsonis. They are a prominent family mainly engaged in politics, and they firmly occupy a lot of voice in the federal parliament. The speaker of the parliament is not from the Tagore family. Just a McMaster.

With the development of more than 200 years, the power of this family has already extended from Tarsonis to many colonies of the Federation, and even the ancient families of these colonies are mostly their vassals.

Due to the advancement of technology such as artificial insemination, the McMaster family has many descendants, and their shadows can be seen in all walks of life and all aspects of the Tyrann Federation.

To become the governor of a colony, McMaster can never be just a weak and incompetent person-he must have his "sparkle".For example, he is very good at making money and is proficient in contacts.

In the pioneering era when the Tyrann Federation expanded its colonies, family background and blood were not synonymous with dignity. If a person could become the governor of an entire colony, then he would definitely be a respectable leader.The leader of the interstellar colonial era should be a person of integrity, diligence, responsibility and charisma.

But now, the appointment of a governor is often related to a network of relationships and interests. The council and the founding family are doing everything they can to gain power and wealth, or both, through these positions.

"Stand up, Ent McMaster, and don't dishonor your glorious family." Augustus also said, "Stand up, and it will make people outside think I'm a slave owner or a violent man. "

Governor McMaster staggered as he struggled to his feet, and it took him a while to get to his feet.In the past, the governor should scold the servants around him, but now those people are "free", and no one will bow down in front of him anymore.

When the governor sat down on a chair opposite at the direction of Augustus, two revolutionary soldiers in military uniform walked towards him with the sound of boots tapping and stood on both sides of him. It was as if he, the venerable governor, were a prisoner awaiting trial.

"Hello, brave Marshal Augustus Mengsk, the savior of the people, your valor has long been widely known among the nobles of Tarsonis." McMaster has not flattered others for a long time He has flattered, but he still hasn't forgotten how to please the stronger ones.

That was not what McMaster had said more than a dozen hours earlier, calling Augustus Mengsk a wild dog and a vampire.

"Really? People in the founding family rarely say the same thing. It's better for the enemy to worship me than for them to hate me." Augustus showed a kind smile to Governor McMaster: "It's a pleasure to see you here your turn."

"Me too. I'm happy too." McMaster's expression had nothing to do with happiness.

Before Augustus could say anything more, Corporal Faraday suddenly whispered to Augustus: "Marshal, just now, General Saul Kerak, the federal military commander of Hagie, swallowed himself."

"I see." Augustus sighed, but he didn't feel sorry.

"Mr. Governor"

"No! No! I'll tell you everything! I don't want to die, I don't want to be killed. I know how you deal with people like me." McMaster suddenly shuddered and yelled, almost Shout to Augustus to save him.

"Quite self-aware." Tychus laughed.

"How could we do that." Augustus was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "That's you."

"Don't worry, I won't hang you." He said, "I'd be more happy to arrange for you to dig mines, to take care of the exhaust valves in the gas refinery, in short, to give you a chance to start a new life."

"You just need to admit that the Governor's Palace and the Grande City Government have colluded with each other, embezzled tax collection and used voodoo sects to traffic people. As for the more disgusting part, I don't even want to say it." Augustus said: "It's enough to tell the truth, there is no need to add oil and vinegar."

"Mr. Governor, whether you can survive the next shameful years depends on how many people you can pull into the water and then justify the outrageous things the McMaster family has done over the years and pass your legislation. Tell me in detail what caused the farmers in Paralta to go bankrupt and then mass-dump the products of their own food companies."

When "I" McMaster raised his head hesitantly, he found that several cameras were already pointing at him.

Augustus quickly lost interest in Governor McMaster, stood up, and turned to the huge glass window of the Governor's Palace office.

The greatest value of this Governor of Haiji is to allow the Revolutionary Army to obtain evidence that exposes the shady and dark side of the Federation, or to make the founding families feel ashamed.

Augustus doesn't even need a puppet, though.

The wind was especially strong at a few hundred feet above the ground, and even this solid plastic-steel glass vibrated in the strong wind.There is no moon in the sky, but because there are no clouds in the sky, it seems that the stars are shining.Two small motorboats with bright blue lights on their propellers passed by the window, carrying Revolutionary Army soldiers on patrol missions over the city.

The city is still littered with cunning and dangerous Fenrisian overlords and Mutalisks, hiding on top of or inside the tall skyscraper complexes in downtown Grande City.These zerg seem to have learned how to build their nests in the steel forests that humans have made of reinforced concrete.Once the cerebrates are too far away from them, the zerg will return to their instincts to a certain extent.

"Marshal, the government of the administrative district of Haji Grande has been reorganized under your instruction." Corporal Faraday walked to Augustus and said.

"The army's offensive on the remaining two cities is also in full swing, and the entire Haiji is ours."

"What's the reaction of the local people?" When Hage Governor McMaster confessed to the camera the shameful crimes of himself and the Hedge Federal Government, Augustus was still looking at the scenery outside the window without turning around.

"Many people welcomed us, but more people expressed doubts about us. Compared with the people of the Sara galaxy and Antiga, the reaction of the Haiji people was relatively flat." Faraday replied.

The people of Haiji are not very enthusiastic about the arrival of the revolutionary army, and they are even confused.

In the political slogans of the planetary councilors of the Tyranid Federation and the UNN propaganda based on them, the Korha Revolutionary Army has always been the heinous rioters.But the Federation will not clarify which areas the rebels have affected, they will only emphasize the viciousness of the rebels while claiming that the rebellion is still under control.

Haiji is a remote and backward colony with limited information. The most important thing is that there were no revolutionaries active here before, so the local people still don't know enough about the Revolutionary Army.

Although the propaganda of the Revolutionary Army in Haiji can be inspiring, such as the new government that replaced the corrupt Governor's Palace, the new constitution, the new administrative agency and the simple and clear tax system have been supported by the middle and lower classes.The Revolutionary Army’s vigorous cleansing of the local black forces has also earned them widespread praise, but a considerable number of people are still influenced by federal political propaganda and think that this army is outlaws and terrorists, and they hold a wait-and-see attitude.

"It will only take a while for the Haji people to find that the changes we have brought have profoundly affected their lives, and they are no longer willing to return to the oppressed federal era." Augustus said.

"The cause of justice never stops!" Faraday exclaimed.

"I think you're right." Tychus had been looking at the luxuriously decorated Governor's Palace, but he didn't really listen to what Augustus and Faraday were talking about.

At this time, a burst of black smoke and icy chill suddenly rose around Augustus.

The Dark Templar Zeratul "Augustus Mengsk" has reappeared.

"Elder, what have you found in the ruins of Haji during this time?" Augustus was already accustomed to Zeratul's sudden appearance and inexplicable disappearance without a trace.But no matter what, when he needed Zeratul, the other party would always show up in time.

"I found a Xel'Naga temple in the polar region of Haiji. Although it is not the same as the one in Sacoolas, the hometown of the Dark Templar, I can still be sure that it comes from the great creator Xel'Naga. , that is the remnant from the vast ages and billions of time ago, a glorious miracle that shines like a gem." Zeratul said to Augustus.

"Unfortunately, the destruction of the Xel'Naga Temple by the Haji humans was almost devastating. They looted all the kedarin crystal clusters around the temple, and emptied the inner stone statues and ingenious obelisks. This is What a catastrophe."

"I expected it." Augustus was not so surprised. The poor Haiji people would not build a protective museum around the Sarnaga Temple.After more than 100 years of excavations by countless immigrants and archaeologists, it is difficult for people now to find much valuable things inside the Hajisarnagar Temple.

The Umoyans are the main buyers of these alien civilization relics, and they have always been interested in pursuing advanced alien technology.

"However, I also found a complete Xel'Naga portal not far from the Xel'Naga temple." Zeratul went on to say: "The ancient and magical Xel'Naga portal is hidden in the It's under the frozen ocean of Haji, so humans don't see it."

"The Xel'Naga Portal?" Augustus' eyes lit up, which made him see an opportunity to connect Hedge with other colonies.

The most well-known Xel'Naga portals should be those of Al and Sacoolas.This kind of portal created by Naganaga spreads all over the universe. It is equivalent to a wormhole. If you walk in one portal, you can come out from the opposite one. This will undoubtedly greatly shorten the huge distance between human beings. distance between colonies.

It's a pity that only the Protoss knows how to open and use the Xel'Naga Portal. Although humans can pass through it normally, they don't know how to open it.Moreover, this kind of Naganaga portal cannot be repaired if one is destroyed.

"Can the Xel'Naga Portal be used normally? Elder." Augustus immediately asked Zeratul.

"Yes." Zeratul said: "Not only that, it still works as it did when the Naganaga made it. In other words, this Xel'Naga Portal of Haji is connected to the other ones in the universe that are still functioning." Yes, it's just that we don't know if there's a balmy paradise behind that or in the orbit of the hottest blue star."

"Tell my warriors I need a brave volunteer... whatever he is" August turned to Corporal Faraday.

"No, there is no need to do this." There was a smile in Zeratul's spiritual language: "The dark templar knows how to use it, and I can establish a portal with the portals I know. connect."

"For example, Sacoolas, home of our Dark Templar."

"." Augustus felt helpless at Zeratul's dislike of speaking in one sitting.

"So you can summon reinforcements from Sacoolas now?"
