StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 51 Are You Cool Down Below?
Just as Augustus was about to contact the platoon leader, Second Lieutenant Reagan, an order from the other party suddenly came from the command channel in the platoon: "All squads must gather immediately at the place where we got off."

"Find the Kel-Morians?" asked a sergeant squad leader.

"Found it, right next to Fort Howe." Reagan said, "Brothers, Kel-Morian licked our asses. Less than a minute ago, Fort Howe's command center sent fire to everyone within a radius of 1 miles. All forces have sent out distress calls, and an unknown number of Kel-Morian forces are attacking the fort."

"Which Kelmorian army is the enemy?" Augustus wanted to confirm Graven Hill's information.Although his information was outdated and did not bring much help to Augustus, and the early warning and precious response time it brought no longer existed, it could also prove that the mercenary's information was can be trusted.

Augustus didn't pay much attention to the stack of credits just now. Before leaving Keha, his mother gave him three Tarsonis Covington bank accounts in addition to 50 credits.Every month, there will be about 100 to [-] million more credit coins in the bank account held by Augustus.

In the longer term, it never hurts to get acquainted with a would-be mercenary magnate.

In the past few months, Augustus has written more and more parts about Keha IV's politics and his father's career in letters to his mother.Ultimately, Augustus convinced his mother that her son was concerned about his father's revolutionary cause and the future fate of Keha.

And Augustus is almost certain that although his father Angus did not read every copy of his son, he always asked about the contents of the letter.

Last week, her mother relayed Angus's words in a triple-encrypted e-mail to Augustus that concealed the sending address and sender information.

Regarding Augustus' worries, Angus's attitude was very clear. He stubbornly believed that forgetting history would mean betrayal, and the revolution would never stop there, and Keha must achieve independence in the hands of his generation.

Angus also cryptically mentioned to Augustus the timing of the independence referendum - now it's no secret that it will be next year, April 2489.

The federal killer should have sneaked into Keha after that, and the turning point of the sudden change was also in this year.Augustus believes that since Keha's independence is a foregone conclusion, he must prepare for the upcoming assassination of his family and even Keha's war with the federal government.

"The enemy is the Higoron Legion, a very famous mountain army who is also good at siege warfare." Reagan replied: "They can be seen on almost every planet that is at war. Recognized as the hardest bone to crack."

The Hygroron Legion is one of the newly established new legions born out of the Kelmorian Ripper Legion system. Their base camp is in the mining world of the Kelmorian Federation, Ferronis.

Compared with other planets suitable for life, Ferlonis is so close to its sun that 90.00% of its water resources were evaporated in the early days of the planet's formation, and the remaining water was buried deep underground.

The red deserts all over the surface of Ferlonis, the rocky plains and the high mountains that pierce into the sky constitute the vast and boundless main continental plate of this planet.Originally, Ferlonis was just the most inconspicuous and desolate planet in the Milky Way, but after the discovery of precious rare minerals, everything changed.

Merchants, laborers, and mercenaries flocked to Camerian, and new prosperous cities were built on the virgin land newly discovered by Camerian adventurers. Ferronis immediately became the most important mining world of the Moria guild. .

Ferronis's Legion of Hygorons was formed by its native Rippers and militias after the Tyranid Federation forces invaded the planet.

In the absence of support from other planets of the Kelmorian Federation, this hastily assembled army used its familiarity with the terrain to gradually defeat an army group of about 5 people in the Federation within two years. And surrounded and annihilated the last battalion of the enemy on a plain called Hai Gelong.

Formed in this battle, the Higorron Legion has vowed to make the Tyranids feel what their ravaged homeworld has experienced.

"Are we going back to help Fort Howe?" At this time, the platoon leader of the third row and the four squad leaders had gathered together, and one of the squad leaders asked.

"But after all, we only have one platoon with less than 100 people." The squad leader of the fourth squad said: "What can we do when we go back? There are only three platoons in the fortress, maybe it has fallen now."

"The fleet is in orbit, we can only expect them to send airborne troops." Reagan couldn't come up with any ideas when he couldn't contact Warfield.

He is a man who is used to doing things according to the rules, and it is the same when leading troops in war.Reagan has always been accustomed to obeying the command of company commander Warfield, but once there are changes beyond the plan, he will be at a loss.

"There can't be too many Higoron troops raiding Fort Howe, at most no more than one battalion." Augustus said and waved behind him: "Jim, bring the map."

When Augustus heard Hill's information, he began to assume that Fort Howe was being attacked. Based on this assumption, he initially listed several plans in his mind.

Under the gaze of others, Augustus half-kneeled on the ground and spread out a map covering all the cities, transportation routes and major highlands in Fort Howe and its vicinity: The fleet and space station in the synchronous orbit of II have been destroyed, which means that their troops on the surface of the planet will not receive any supplementary troops from Moria, and only the Haigoron Legion is still active in this area. "

"In the nearly three years of war, the strength of the Higoron Legion on Turasis is less than two of our armies." Under the light of the power armor searchlight, Augustus stretched out a hand, and the index finger came from the The location of Fort Howe on the map draws a straight line to the right. "

"To the east of Fort Howe is the Uranus Mountains, the largest in the hemisphere. The mountains are rich in endless veins of crystal ore, and the volcanoes are constantly spewing high-energy gas springs."

"Higron Corps hollowed out several mountains there and built a magnificent underground fortress, where most of the legionnaires hid." Augustus pointed to the Zulu outpost on the map.

"Higron's underground fortress is about a thousand miles away from Fort Howe. At the exit of the only canyon that can be driven by vehicles in the Uranus Mountains, there is a Zulu outpost. That is the first marine team nailed A nail at their door is a springboard for our army to move forward on the Eastern Front.”
