StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 332 You Will Complete Your Great Cause
Augustus' orders were carried out most swiftly and firmly.

Led by the officers of the 011th Battalion of the Revolutionary Army's Guards Division and the political commissar of the Pan-Tyran Revolutionary Party, more than 2 soldiers from the 100nd Company stepped out of the bunkers and bunker clusters and advanced quickly with each combat platoon and fire support team as a unit. The Goliath armed robots between the platoons use 30mm cannons to create crossfire above and in front of the soldiers.

The Wolf Warrior I mecha driven by Tychus took the lead, followed by the officers and political commissars who took the lead.An artillery company equipped with KMC mortars fired at the incoming ground troops of the swarm under the instructions of observers and officers. A large number of pulse bombs falling on the ground provided a powerful force for the advancing revolutionary infantry. fire cover.

At this time, these people who fled to Oasis Town had already crossed the abandoned outpost at the outermost edge of the town.

Due to the rugged terrain of Altera, vehicles are difficult to use. If there are no spaceships and walking robots, then these people can only rely on their own legs.

They were already exhausted, and from time to time someone was thrown down and dragged away by the overtaking zergling, and was torn to pieces as soon as they fell.

Seeing a fully armed army running towards them, the rest of the people saw hope. The fear of death and hope for life immediately overwhelmed all exhaustion, driving them to run hard into the distance. A battle line composed of power armor.

"Come behind us, hurry up! The bugs are about to bite your ass." Tychus Finley, who was at the front, shouted at those people using the PA equipment of his Wolf Warrior I mech.

The new paint on the huge red mecha had already been scratched by Altera's whirlwind of gravel and sand, but the golden wolf logo on the right shoulder of the mech was still shining brightly.Under the cockpit, there is a line written in white paint: The guns speak the truth.

The company led by Tychus spread out outside the town of Oasis, and began firing long-range rockets to break the ceasefire.In order to prevent the fleeing crowd from breaking up the front line, the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army dispersed under the command of the officers, leaving a few passages for people to pass through.

Finally, the first man ran past the giant walking legs of Tychus' rumbling Wolf I, followed by more terrified faces.A dark-skinned, dark-haired girl staggered as she ran towards a Revolutionary Army soldier and nearly fell to the ground, but a pair of hard alloy gloves held her steady.

A gas refinery engineer wearing glasses was caught by an overtaking Jormungandr springtail while stumbling and running. He screamed in pain and was about to be dragged away.

Two soldiers of the Revolutionary Army charged at the screaming engineer with lightning. One dragged a Gauss rifle in his hand and stabbed a sharp bayonet into the front chest of the Jormungandr Zergling, forcing it to withdraw its forelimbs to fight back. Another soldier pulled out the P-660 electromagnetic pistol on his waist and shot steadily at the Zergling's head. The large-caliber depleted uranium bullet exploded the ugly head with just one shot.

As the last man walked past two Revolutionary soldiers who were about to raise their guns to shoot, Tychus put both hands into the exoskeleton system with sharp sensors built into the mech, operating the Destroyer on the right arm of the mech. The flamethrower ejected a jet of hot plasma more than ten feet wide, burning the three jumping worms to ashes in a few seconds.

Tychus and the soldiers of the Guards of the Revolutionary Army behind him continued to move forward, forming a high wall made of steel behind the people.In the eyes of those who were saved by them and the residents of Oasis Town, this high wall seemed to be indestructible and could not fall down.

Augustus looked at the battlefield ahead from a distance: "The Seventh Division and the Ninth Division are gathering at me, and we must form an encirclement in Oasis Town."

"Call the fleet, I need more fire support and air strikes."

Just at this time, two ice-blue lightning bolts that tore the sky flashed in the mottled sky of Altera, which came from the main guns of the protoss fleet.Dozens of fighter planes from the Air Force Wing of the Revolutionary Army flew over Oasis Town, dropping a bright barrage of rockets and incendiary bombs.

While walking towards the front line, Augustus issued combat orders to more than 2 revolutionary soldiers who landed in Altera through the command system.Amid the deafening explosions and cannon fire, Augustus made his way through the artillery emplacements, Kerrigan and the Marshal's Guard closely following him.

The forgotten former Federation Colonel Horace followed Augustus after hesitating for a moment, only then did he notice that Augustus had a strong aura, even comparable to those of the prestigious old Federation General.When Augustus gave orders loudly, Horace actually had the illusion that he was his subordinate.

At the same time, Horace was surprised that Augustus gave the order to save people without hesitation, as if it should have been.More importantly, Augustus' soldiers carried out the order without any hesitation.

At this time, the Revolutionary Army had fully taken over the position to the north of Oasis Town, but the residents of Oasis Town who had gathered here to defend against the Zerg attack did not leave or retreat, but chose to fight side by side with the Revolutionary Army.

At first they had doubts about Augustus and his revolutionary army, but after seeing the scene just now, these people were convinced that the revolutionary army really came to aid them.

It's just that the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army who rushed out to save people just now had already retreated to cover the civilians and undoubtedly fell into the swarm of insects.This is incredible in the eyes of residents of Oasis Town, including Horace. Most of them are selfish, with little altruism and dedication.

Augustus boarded a sentry tower through a safety ladder, stared at the soldiers of the 011nd Company of the 2 Battalion in front of him through the binoculars, and saw that the dense, black swarm of insects was about to overwhelm his brave soldiers.Oasis townspeople sighed behind trenches and bunkers, and even the rats and flies in the gutters of Altera considered these people real heroes.

"You don't need to rescue those people, they are just miners and loggers, they are worthless compared to your soldiers." When Horace saw that the guards of Augustus soldiers did not stop him, Go to Augustus and talk to him.

Horace Mauben, a wanted criminal who was once the captain of the Federation Navy, watched these soldiers rescue those people without hesitation, and realized that Augustus's Revolutionary Army was different from the regular Federation Army he had seen in the past or the border star area. The rebels can't be compared. They seem to really take the protection of civilians as their mission rather than the federal army who is dawdling or the peasant rebel army who takes advantage of the chaos to steal property.

Horace was used to seeing the ugliness in the world and human nature, and he had seen righteous and brave people, but never so many.The army of the Tyranid Federation used to be a place where elite nobles and brave warriors gathered, but now it is overstaffed and corrupt. It has become a place for politicians and descendants of famous families to gild and make money.

Ten years ago, when Horace just graduated from the Tarsonis Federal Military Academy, he was still an aspiring young man with great ambitions, determined to protect the order of the Federation.

But when he graduated, Horace's teachers and friends advised him to stay in the easy civilian jobs in the Tarsonis military armed forces, so that he could get promoted quickly and not have to deal with the dangerous Kel-Morians and Yumerians. raise people.

Even so, the young Lieutenant Horace still applied to be transferred to places where he was needed.It's just that when he arrived at Taurus' military base, the level of corruption there was beyond his imagination.

The Brubakers of the founding family had already controlled the military factories and all the industries there. All the senior military officers were just puppets of the Brubakers. Then you can get money.

Augustus didn't answer Horace's question, but just stared at the time on the HUD display of his helmet visor.

Ten seconds later, the psychic disruptor in Oasis Town was activated.An invisible interference force field made the Jormungandr bug swarm near Oasis Town into chaos and began to kill each other. The 2nd Company, which was about to be besieged, fought and retreated under the leadership of Tychus. line of defense.

The Cerebral Birr Psionic Disruptor has an extremely wide range, and is even capable of affecting Zerg that gets to the ground.

The Zerg still haven't found an effective way to hack psionic disruptors.Creatures with extremely powerful psychic powers, such as brain worms and elite king worms Iggysir giant king worms, can ignore this interference to a certain extent, but only if they are close enough to their own group members.

Considering that the zerg have already suffered a lot from the revolutionary army's psionic disruptors, they will definitely eliminate this flaw through continuous evolution and genetic modification.Augustus only hoped that Swann's research progress would keep him in the war against the zerg - although that was almost impossible.

"Don't fight, Tychus, let the zerg continue to kill each other, and we'll clean up the mess when they're all dead."

After confirming that his soldiers were withdrawing to Oasis Town in an orderly manner, Augustus began to answer Horace's question: "I don't think so, Mr. Horace."

Augustus did not explain in detail to Horace why he did what he did, because it was a matter of course for him to save those people, and there was no need to explain the reasons for doing so.

In the Sara galaxy and the main planet of Antiga, millions of people were saved by Augustus' revolutionary army, and people, especially those with talents, are the most precious.

"Even these criminals of Altera?" Horace asked again.

"The people in Altera are not only criminals, many of them are political prisoners or revolutionaries who have been persecuted by the federal government. Even the people here are not all criminals who should be judged by law." Augustus Speak to him calmly.

"Of course, once Altai is recovered, I will definitely rebuild the law and order on this planet." He continued: "You may think that I am a benevolent person, but I will definitely use an iron fist to eliminate Altai. destabilizing factors. Make sure that law-abiding and hard-working people are not threatened by nefarious people."

"Altera is a resource-rich planet, and people here can get rich rewards even if they don't commit crimes."

"I have to admit that although I thought you were a kid who was proud of your family background at first, you have proved yourself to be a qualified leader." Horace said.

"Marshal Augustus is not only a qualified leader, he is definitely the best one you have ever seen." Kerrigan reminded Horace.

"Maybe you're right." Horace stared at the two men and women who seemed too young to him, and said nothing more: "You are indeed the same as those Federation generals, CEOs of Camerian, or The leaders of the rebels are all different. At least you are really doing what you promised."

Even Horace, who had gone through many ups and downs, had to admit that he was mistaken at the beginning. As a leader of the revolutionary army who had already gained popularity, Augustus must not have earned his reputation in vain.

If you have a face-to-face conversation with Augustus, you will find that his demeanor, words and deeds are very confident and convincing.Augustus was a charismatic man, and anyone who met him was convinced of it.

"Maybe you can really overthrow the founding family of the Federation and establish a new republic." Horace said: "If you can really do it, then you will become the ruler of the new regime."

"I've heard an old saying that there is a long way to go." Augustus said and walked off the sentry post, and met the group of Altera people rescued by the revolutionary army.

Augustus noticed that most of these people were wearing regular workers' work clothes instead of the fancy clothes like the residents of Oasis Town. These are all strong laborers, and they don't look like locals.

These people collapsed on the road as soon as they reached the interior of Oasis Town. Some of them passed out directly, while some had the joy of remaining alive after the catastrophe.

"I've heard these people work for Kel-Morian's gas refinery in Altera," Horace said to Augustus. "That's why the people of Oasis don't like them."

"Where are you from?" Augustus found a miner who still had the strength to speak. Judging from his clothing, he should be an overseer. The logo on his clothes was similar to that Augustus had seen in Moria. of.

"Thank you for your help. We almost died. Many people died." It was a bald middle-aged man with a nice beard. He said hesitantly, "We are miners from around here."

"There is nothing to hide. We are Kel-Morians. A few years ago, the Moria Mining Federation established many high-energy gas refineries near the town of Oasis to extract the rich gas resources of Altaira and transport them back to the Federation. inside the body."

"It's theft," said Horace angrily.

"We were the ones who discovered this planet first, and you Tyranids are the latecomers and robbers who plunder!" The bald man immediately responded angrily.

Both sides hold their ground.

　I have been busy during the Chinese New Year, and many troublesome things have happened recently, and I am exhausted physically and mentally, alas...
