StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 326 Returning to the main star of Antiga

The United Fleet headed for the once main battlefield, the main star of Antiga, in solemn solemnity.This is already a large-scale fleet, consisting of twelve Behemoth-class battlecruisers of the Revolutionary Army and more than forty Protoss warships. The posture of entering the sub-transition state together is magnificent and spectacular, and the shiny ship sampan is twisting. Shining brightly in the leaping force field.

In February 2492, the United Fleet arrived at the Antiga star system after a long voyage through time and space.After a few months, this galaxy has completely changed its appearance.

There are tens of thousands of space torpedoes and Mag sky mines in the orbit of Antiga, forming a defensive ring thousands of miles long.

The force field barrier composed of hundreds of signal-enhancing psychic jammers made the vicinity of Antiga Prime an area that the zerg couldn't avoid, because no cerebrum likes to go after the pack enters the psychic jammer field. Feeling out of control.It's like manipulating your own pack members in a high ping stance, and they often run around disobediently.

At this stage where the Zerg have not yet found a solution, the Psionic Disruptor is definitely a magic weapon against the Zerg Swarm.The psionic disruptors of the Alien Research Laboratory of the Revolutionary Army can already cover an area at an altitude of two hundred miles, and can maintain stable operation for a long time under the condition of being powered by the fusion core.

Since the zerg avoided the main star of Antiga, it was also right in the center of the Zerg invasion battlefield, and it was almost the only choice for the refugees to take refuge.Every day, refugee ships from other fringe worlds of the Federation enter the Antiga system, seeking the protection of the Korha Revolutionary Army.

In the early days, these refugee ships were ships of the Revolutionary Army.Later, other refugees who fled their homes flocked to Antiga, even including several colonies that had not yet been invaded by the Zerg but were already frightened by the news.

More than a dozen interstellar ports are deployed on the same orbit to receive refugees from nearby planets.Thousands of small assault craft, galaxy fleas, dropships, and dropships were commuting between starports and planets, and thousands of orange or blue thruster flames seemed to be bright starlight.

A gleaming ice-blue space fortress is parked in a synchronous orbit on Antiga Prime, adjacent to one of the planet's moons.The magnificent Umoyan Fortress is brightly lit, and every crimson flame comes from the newly expanded frame structure and bulkhead.

A total of twelve revolutionary army battlecruisers painted in gold and red are moored at the berths of the mobile base, lined up.

Two Hercules-class battleships that originally served in the Kelmerian Federation are sailing into the port side by side. Their brown and black camouflage-like mottled sampans are like jagged rocks on a steep cliff, flying towards the ships of these battleships. Fighters and assault craft seem to be landing on the surface of the planet.

In addition to the unimaginable logistical foundation and industrial system that support these facilities and the huge fleet, it is also inseparable from massive financial support.The Congress of the United States of Umoyan passes a motion to provide financial assistance to the Korha Revolutionary Army every year, and Arcturus Mengsk, the founder of the "Empire" mining company, is another major donor.

This money was enough to make Arcturus Mengsk extremely wealthy, but he chose to spend it all on the army building of his younger brother Augustus Mengsk.The Mengsk family has long been a strong supporter of the Augustus Revolutionary Army.

At this time, the Hyperion had just sailed out of the exit of the hyperspace channel, and was located about four astronomical units away from the main star of Antiga. Behind it were vortices shining with blue arcs, and more majestic human and protoss warships Jumping out of it, as if jumping out of a vertical shining mirror.

Augustus was walking from the corridor inside the ship to the bridge of the Hyperion, straightening his hat brim that was crooked due to the tremor of the hyperspace jump while walking, followed by Corporal Faraday and two soldiers of the Marshal's Guard equipped with electromagnetic pistols.

"Antiga Prime is the only planet in this sector of the Koprulu sector that is still completely in the hands of humans. The nearby colonies are either completely fallen or are undergoing a great war and a desperate retreat." Reynolds Walked out of the passage on the side of the corridor in the ship, followed by his first officer and young apprentice sailor Matt Horner.

"During the time we left Antiga, Warfield has been leading the remaining fleet to fight fires." He said to Augustus: "He led the troops to the forefront of the battle against the Zerg. People were called heroes, and millions were saved directly or indirectly as a result of Warfield's rescue efforts."

"Warfield is an upright and well-behaved man, and he does things with a strict eye." Augustus said with a smile: "He is one of the most trustworthy people I know. Many people are talented, even the ability to command Not under Warfield, but only he who fought at the forefront of the alien war for what we call the 'just cause'."

"That's what makes Warfield better than me."

"You are always too humble. Warfield is very reliable, and he is not as old and stubborn as Duke." Leno also said: "Warfield has his own principles, and he will never violate him. If someone says Tychus Finley Participated in sex trafficking and taking bribes, it must not be a lie, but if it is said that the person is Warfield, then I will not believe it."

"Old Tychus must have burst into tears when he heard that." Augustus laughed and walked through the wide-open bridge airlock door.

The bridge was brightly lit, and several technical sergeants and engineers with pliers on their waists were repairing cables or laying communication lines below the deck.On the main holographic projection screen in the center is Antiga Prime and its satellites rotating in the background of the starry sky, and several space stations under construction are surrounded by dense alien and plasma turrets.

"Adjutant, connect to the port and prepare to enter the port." He ordered the navigator who was sitting on the bridge command chair and the driver's seat.

"Yes, Marshal."

The main star of Antiga on the screen is shrouded in night, and sporadic lights surround several newly established metropolitan areas.The side facing the star should be ushering in the dawn, and the fireball, which can hardly be seen directly, is jumping out of the mountains and the revived Stickler forest in the cold morning light.

"Iron Justice is joining"

"It's a pleasure to see you, Augustus." Warfield's dark and resolute face was full of smiles. He hadn't reached the age that he should have aged, and his hair and beard were already mottled. White dot.

"You only took three boats with you, and now you've brought back twelve, hehe, you really have it, boy. When you first entered the barracks, I knew at a glance that you were a talented person, not like Jimmy Raynor. Stupid blue."

"Our army is getting bigger and bigger." Augustus smiled.

"I'm listening, General." Reynolds, dressed in a dark blue Revolutionary Army naval officer's uniform, walked to Augustus's right hand side, the golden braided ring and five-star logo on the brim of his hat shone under the lights of the bridge.

"Hehe, I didn't mean to belittle you, Lieutenant General Renault." Warfield laughed.

"During the time you left Antiga, the soldiers of the Second Fleet and I, in the name of the Keha Revolutionary Army and you, rushed to planets invaded by Zerg one after another, saving many people."

"If only we had a stronger fleet, more people and more planets could be saved." Augustus walked to the main screen, allowing Warfield to see his face clearly.

"It's the protoss, I know they have made a covenant with you—" Warfield glanced at the radar detection map next to him, surprised by the number of the protoss fleet: "They seem to be more powerful than we expected. Many. I worry that this is not necessarily a good thing, and I am disturbed by the number of alien warships that are not under the control of the Revolutionary Army."

"Don't worry, General." Augustus signaled Warfield not to make a fuss: "They won't stay here for long."

"I'll see you on the port shuttle platform."

In an instant, more Protoss warships sailed out of the space-time vortex, each one like an exquisite handicraft.Although these battleships are equally gorgeous, their artistic styles are not the same.Some warships were golden blue, like bright stars, others were dark black, with brilliant green crystals dotting the sampan.

The Hyperion sailed towards a large shipyard built by the Umo people construction company and employing a large number of refugees as workers.This is named the Antiga Orbital Shipyard. Although its scale is less than one-tenth of the Delarian Shipyard, it can still build six standard-sized Behemoth-class ships within a year after it is completed. Battlecruiser.

Under the guidance of the guide beam, the Hyperion slowly sailed into the port in the belly of the Antiga shipyard, waiting for the movable mooring platforms on both sides to approach and release the steel towers that fixed the battlecruiser, and put the entire battlecruiser in place. All cruisers are placed in a solid frame structure.

A retractable passage cabin is docked with Hyperion's port, and the air pressure and oxygen content inside it are maintained within a stable range, so that the personnel on the battleship can directly enter the shipyard through this passage.

The Antiga Shipyard is still under construction. Thousands of exoskeleton-wearing workers and construction robots are welding the alloy shell on the steel frame shell. The flickering sparks flicker during welding. The eyes are also extraordinarily beautiful.

Now Antiga has accepted nearly 1000 million refugees who were displaced by the Zerg invasion in the three nearby colonies. Among them are many tough and talented farmers, architects, workers, and skilled craftsmen and leaders from all walks of life. characters who volunteered to build and defend their new homeland, and those who had nothing else to offer volunteered to serve in the militia reserve or to enlist in the army.

As the Hyperion came to a standstill, Augustus entered the berthing area of ​​the Antiga shipyard through the exit hatch.A mile-long steel-framed alloy dome was stretching over Augustus' head, its top brightly lit.In the distance are the engineering ladders and plank roads that are being raised and lowered, and the train that transports raw materials and refined crystal mines is driving on the suspended track that surrounds the base of the entire shipyard, like a winding dragon.

Two rows of Revolutionary Army soldiers in dark blue uniforms with Gauss rifles on their shoulders flanked the exit, Admiral Warfield, Lieutenant General Rundstein, Colonel Harnack Hank, Major General Rick Kidd, and Ely Colonel Ya Kulovsky stood at attention and saluted Augustus.

As Augustus saluted them back, he caught sight of a beautiful figure among them—Sarah Kerrigan in a wide-collared tunic and boat cap.At this moment, Augustus suddenly felt thankful that Kerrigan hadn't turned into the green-skinned, snake-haired Queen of Blades he remembered.

"Excellent feat, General." Augustus and Warfield shook hands heavily, noticing that there were a few more scars on the other's face.

"I was bitten by a Jormungandr hydralisk hiding in the ground in Abaddon, and it cut off half of my finger." Warfield chuckled, and took a picture while embracing Augustus. He patted the opponent's strong shoulder.

"You are no longer a rookie in the Turasis II boot camp, Augustus, you are now the leader of the revolution that everyone expects. How many people look at you, you are a role model for thousands of young people .”

"Boss, the era of being driven around by the Federation fleet is over," Harnack said to Augustus.

"The dignitaries of Tarsonis are struggling with the invasion of Zerg, and have no time to take care of the poor people in the edge world. Only we are still insisting on picking people from the sea of ​​​​worms." Rick Kidd said.

"Sir, I heard you raced the Vulture on Char? Glad you didn't fall into the lava," Kurowski said as Augustus looked at him.

Augustus watched with satisfaction that the once immature faces of the second platoon and the first squad of D Company had become more and more resolute, and their eyes were always firmly looking forward instead of looking left and right.

The scars on Harnack's face became more and more serious, so that he began to cover them with demon tattoos based on the scars. Every time Augustus saw Harnack, his hairstyle was different, but they were all very attractive. attention.This time, Harnack's red hair turned into fixed spikes, resembling a hedgehog's head.

That's what Harnack's always been, he's always been a prick.

When Augustus turned to Kerrigan, he thanked God for the first time, temporarily, for his favor.Kerrigan, wearing a fiery red single ponytail, just stood in front of Augustus. She was slender, fit and plump, elegant and charming—but deadly enough.

Sarah Kerrigan is an extremely powerful psyker, and when it comes to her enemies, she is also a fanged Starscream.

Kerrigan was a beautiful figure, her satin fiery red hair shining in the light.

"It seems like I haven't seen you in centuries, Augustus." Kerrigan stretched out both hands to hold Augustus's right hand, raised her head, her plump red lips met the other's tight lips touch on it.

"I'm right here, Sarah." Augustus hugged Kerrigan, but didn't linger on the softness for long.He knew that this night would be a sleepless night, and that he was just a boat with sails in a storm.

"I can never lose you, not the Federation, not the Master, not anyone."

　Recently, I am planning to rent a house alone, and there are a lot of things to do.
