StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 488 Narud Plans to Dedicate Tarsonis

"you are?"

Augustus blinked his eyes, put his hands behind his back, and muttered in his heart, thinking, Narud, what kind of tricks are you playing.

His bushy brows were knit together, as if he couldn't remember who the person in front of him was.

"Oh, I'm Dr. Emil Naroud. I had the honor of watching you communicate with Gerald Dugal when the UED invaders were still in Braxis."

Dr. Narud wears a spotless white smock with a bright green swirl insignia on the right breast.This is an elegant old man, his sideburns and beard are already grey, but his skin is well maintained, showing no signs of aging.

Augustus could see that Dr. Narud seemed to be very flustered and restless, turning to the assistants and consoles next to him from time to time, as if a group of UED fighters would suddenly rush out there.

"It turned out to be Dr. Narud." Augustus suddenly realized:
"What are you doing?"

"Listen to me, Stukov is planning a huge conspiracy." Dr. Narud's face was sweating, and the next moment he threw a blockbuster that attracted Augustus and others' attention :

"Stukov sent two fleets to deploy psychic launchers to attract Zerg, and to attack Protoss to provoke a war between humans and them." His face was full of righteousness and firmness:

"If the Koprulu star sector cannot be conquered, from the standpoint of the United Earth Council, they must hope that the chaos here will be as good as possible, so that the earth can last for a long time. But as a Tyrannic human, I will never allow the life of my homeland to be ruined."

"Is he really going to do this?" Augustus felt a burst of urgency when he heard the news, but then calmed down.

Augustus remained skeptical about every sentence of Narud, and was cautious.However, Narud's cleverness is that when he cheats, he will always take out real baits and a bunch of fake baits that look like real ones, and he cannot ignore the information he gives.

On the bridge, both Arcturus and Kerrigan's faces changed, and even Tychus realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Yes, Stukov trusts me very much." Seeing that Augustus believed what he said, Narud breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued: "Because I helped Stukov Cove has perfected the study of Federation psionic weapons and hybrids, and knows where they're going to take them."

"What he said is true. Bronte Prime has indeed discovered a psionic transmitter." Arcturus said with a serious expression.

"How many psionic transmitters did Stukov's men take away?" Kerrigan folded her hands on her chest, her tall fiery red ponytail fell on her suet-white neck with her movements.

"A lot." Narud's hesitant answer made everyone feel heavy.

"Marshal Augustus, I overcame all kinds of difficulties to get in touch with you." Dr. Narud almost couldn't catch his breath when there was noise around him:

"If Stukov, a lunatic, is not stopped, he will definitely take the Koprulu sector to be buried with him, so that the protoss and zerg who are fighting again can no longer threaten the earth in a short time." He said:
"When UED first arrived in Braxis, I helped them to overthrow the Tyrannian Federation's tyranny. I didn't expect it!"

Dr. Narud swung his fist heavily into the air, almost fell to the ground, his remorse and pain were naturally revealed: "When I learned about Stukov's plan, I stopped treating him. Have any expectations."

"Yo, I didn't see it." Tychus blew a cloud of cold air from his nostrils: "But are you waiting to turn from the dark to the bright? Now is the time, everyone can see that the UED is going to be over, doctor, we don't have to Give your life to the people of the earth."

"I can't watch Tarsonis be destroyed." Dr. Narud showed firm determination, and said surprisingly:

"Marshal, I can help you take Tarsonis with the least cost. I did this for the sake of 40 billion Tarsonis people, they are innocent."

"What are you going to do?" Augustus looked into Narud's dark brown eyes.

This guy knows what I want.

"Help us capture Dr. Tarsonis Narud, I hope you say more than that." Arcturus glanced at Augustus next to him: "The UED used electromagnetic pulse weapons and Hacking and taking down federal security networks is a classic campaign that's hard to replicate."

"Although you say you are deeply trusted by Alexei Stukov, you are only a scientific researcher."

"That's right, I'm just a weak old man, and I only manage a few scientific stations and laboratories, but a person like me who has half a foot in the ground also has a passion for keeping the soil safe." Rude still has a lot of time to express his ambition to serve the country:

"Stukov's rule in Tarsonis is not stable. Although he has purged a large number of nobles and entrepreneurs, he is still not loved by the people of Tarsonis." He continued:
"As far as I know, there are probably less than 20 UED soldiers on Tarsonis, and the rest are the federal troops recruited by Stukov. Not only that, but their fleet is now running out."

At this moment, Narud has completely transformed from a traitor who defected to the people of Earth to a patriot.If he really helped Augustus liberate Tarsonis with the least cost as he said, it would not only be a great achievement, but also a real hero.

Since Narud is a conscientious Tyrannian scientist, it is impossible for him to continue to help the evil at this time.In this way, Narud's move is not a shameful betrayal to the revolutionary army at all.

"With such a small number of people, it is impossible to ensure that the guards of Tarsonis are foolproof, which means that we can send infiltration forces to invade." Let's control Tarsonis, but even a good general through the ages can't win a battle without soldiers."

"Except for the UED army led by Stukov, the Tarsonis are very repulsed by the order of steadfastness." Narud said:
"In addition, Stukov is almost determined to go his own way, and there are also great internal oppositions. If he falls, Tarsonis' army will collapse in an instant."

"Assassination?" Kerrigan nodded. "That's a good idea, but we don't know where Stukov is."

"I know." Dr. Narud's expression kept changing, and quickly turned into a decisiveness as if he was about to die generously: "He is staying in his command post, monitoring Tarsonis' defense network through the command and control system."

"Stukov is waiting for the good news from the fleet he sent, thinking that as long as the protoss and zerg attack again, everything will be fine." He left for a few seconds, and when he reappeared, he took out a display The electronic terminal showing the location coordinates of the UED command and the deployment map: "I have the advanced security key of the Stukov command, and sneaking into it is not a problem."

"Then, should I believe you?" Augustus spoke from his heart, but what fell into Narud's ears represented another meaning.

"Who knows if this is another conspiracy by Stukov. Unfortunately, doctor, I can't rashly launch an attack based on your few words."

"I understand your concerns." In Narud's view, this just proved that Augustus was about to make a decision.

Narud had studied Augustus a long time ago, and he knew that this man would care about the lives of ordinary people in everything.Judging from the current situation in Koplu, it is impossible for Augustus to refuse Narud's surrender in the face of powerful enemies and the old party of the Tyrann Federation.

"It only takes a few powerful Ghosts to avert a horrific battle in which millions will surely die and die, and you won't let it go," he said:
"Tarsonis' orbital defense network is not foolproof. With the obvious loopholes in it, it is still easy to send a few small spaceships to the surface of the planet."

"If Stukov can be killed, the troops will be able to take Tarsonis immediately." Arcturus has always been concerned about the existence of the ghost agent, but that doesn't mean he can't see him as a super soldier and The value of humanoid weapons.

Augustus had many powerful psykers under his command, some of whom were willing to sacrifice themselves for Augustus and the revolution.

"Stukov doesn't trust Tyranid ghost agents—of course. He only appoints Earth soldiers to guard the headquarters, but these Earth people have a fairly limited resistance to psychic power." Dr. Narud said:
"I believe you already know something about hybrids. The origin of this creature is still unknown, but their spiritual power is like a god in front of humans. I have control over many UED hybrids. They will be used by the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army Play a key role when it comes to action."

With the hands of the UED, as an unprecedented biological weapon, the hybrid has demonstrated its value and terrifying war potential in front of Tarsonis and Char and Tyrann humans.

If this is a bidding event for a new type of weapon, then the hybrid will undoubtedly have a perfect performance after many appearances.

And with human beings' short lifespan and shallow knowledge of the universe, it is impossible for them to realize the doomsday truth behind the hybrid.Narud is convinced of this. ——Even an outstanding human leader like Augustus Mengsk is no exception, because of the limitations of his own race, no matter how long-term his vision is, it will be limited after all.

"Let Jackson Hole's Nova Squadron carry out this mission. They are experts in special operations and decapitation missions." After a few seconds of silence that made Narud breathless, Augustus clicked nod.

"Since this is the case, I hope that the assassination mission will start immediately."

"I am sending you the coordinates of the pick-up." Dr. Narud said, "Just wait for the detailed plan-I will always be your staunchest supporter."

"After this, you can contact me through the channels below. The UED is closely monitoring the laboratory, and I must interrupt this communication."

As soon as Dr. Narud finished speaking, the picture was cut off quickly.

"Should I trust him?" Tychus asked. "I think this guy has a wicked look. He must be a bad guy."

"Augustus must trust him." Kerrigan knew Augustus' thoughts well: "Compared with the peaceful liberation of Tarsonis, the risks paid are completely negligible."

"This Dr. Narud"

"We can't afford the loss caused by another miserable victory." When Augustus turned to leave the bridge, Kerrigan thoughtfully put on the golden and red cloak for him, just like a good wife at home .

"The order continues, the entire fleet is on first-level alert, and we will launch an attack on Tarsonis at any time."

"What about the two fleets that Stukov sent out? If they really pissed off the bugs and the pointed heads, those aliens won't care what kind of skin you humans are wearing." Tai Case rarely expressed concern about the military operations of the Revolutionary Army.

This is not only because of the sense of justice in Tychus's heart, but because he has seen the good life after taking Tarsonis.

Old Tychus could have flapped his hands and danced like a butterfly just thinking that he was free to roam the beauties of Tarsonis as liberator and revolutionary hero.

"Do you think this is really useful?" Arcturus just laughed it off: "The Protoss Empire is now our staunch ally, and the main force of the Zerg is no longer in the Koprulu sector. Stukov is just wasting time."

"Don't take it lightly. The Protoss and Zerg are more than the Protoss Empire and the Char Swarm." The facial expression with Narud is not all the reason why Augustus is tired, he just sleeps too little and works too long .

In any case, Narud was a timely help.

Augustus has already guessed Narud's purpose - UED has lost its use value for Narud, and he urgently needs to find the next buyer for his hybrid.

There is no doubt that the reunification of the territory of the old Tyranid Federation by Augustus' revolutionary army is also a certainty.And Narud needs the funds and manpower of the New Tyrannian Empire to help him complete the next series of plans.

Narud must have thought that Augustus knew nothing about his plan to destroy the world.

"The frontier planet must be more alert." Augustus said as he walked towards the bridge ladder of the Hyperion:

"Take Tarsonis before Stukov turns the entire Koprulu sector upside down."

"Let me lead the team." Kerrigan knew how much Augustus valued this matter: "That should be more sure."

"You" Augustus paused.

"No, I can't leave you."

An hour later, three special operations teams composed of eight Revolutionary Army ghost agents each sailed to the heavily guarded Tarsonis on a wraith fighter equipped with a stealth module.

Most of these ghost agents are from the Nova Squadron. In addition, the commander of the squadron, Jackson Hole, decided to personally lead the team to carry out the assassination mission.He himself is a powerful level 8 psychic agent, and he is even more proficient in commanding special warfare missions.

Before the special forces set off, Augustus personally met these soldiers who volunteered to perform this task, and praised their nobility of character.
