StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

"Dahlam has repelled the billions of Zergs that invaded Sacoolas, so I was able to escape and come here. This is indeed good news for us."

Zeratul was blunt this time. Whenever he had to say three sentences, he always only said the first two sentences, and let the listener guess the third sentence.This was Zeratul's speaking habit, and he didn't feel much about it himself.

Luckily, Zeratul won't say: which one should you hear first, good news or bad news.Although Augustus doubted that Zeratul possessed such a sense of humor.

"An alien? A gray-skinned lizard with green eyes." The child Mai, who was held under Tychus's arm, looked at Zeratul in surprise.Mai has some psionic talent, but not keen.

"It's like this." Tychus commented ambiguously:

"Zeratul, if you don't mind, why don't you change into a new suit."

"Thank you for your kindness." Zeratul's bright eyes looked at Tychus, feeling from the depths of his mind that the jest was not all malicious.

Zeratul, the Dark Master, seemed to be on the run all the time, battling the enemies of the Protoss to the death, so much so that he had no time to mend his tattered robes and battered armor.Time and wind and frost have left indelible marks on this respected protoss elder.

The venerable Protoss Dark Templar is a friend of humanity, as much a knowledgeable explorer as a fearless warrior.

Then, Zeratul's gaze once again fell on the terrified Dr. Narud, and his sharp eyes made the latter's face even more ashen.Narud maintained his composure as best he could, but he was still blushing because of his bewilderment, as if he had lost himself in front of the emperor.

And to be honest, even though the shrewd Dr. Narud is a very deep and brilliant actor, he still overacts by playing too hard.Narud has not only seen the protoss, but also dissected them on the operating table, and is even more familiar with their genes than the protoss themselves.

Zeratul couldn't see through Narud's thoughts, so he became suspicious after thinking about it.If it is not with the help of some kind of tool, his mind should not be blank.

"I'm very happy to hear that you have repelled the Zerg. This is another victory for the Justice League." Augustus pushed back the surrounding guards and agents, signaling these soldiers not to panic.

While Augustus was busy building his empire, Zalkuras' Dharam protoss was busy battling the zerg that had invaded their homeworld through the Xel'Naga portals.Although Augustus had no time to send reinforcements, he still gave material support.

Augustus wasn't worried that the Protoss would be defeated by the invading zerg, and it was a good thing that they won in the end.

"Zeratul, to be honest, if it's not an urgent matter, I can't think of a reason for your sudden visit." Augustus breathed a sigh of relief: "Where's the rebellious dark consul Orega?"

"Not every time." Zeratul made a small argument in his own way, but it was not as unquestionably convincing as anything he had said before.

"The warriors of Dalam expelled Orega from Sacoolas, but he swore he would come back one day in the future." Then, Zeratul said regretfully:

"Orega just returned to the void in full view. He is so powerful that the void still echoes the most vicious curse of the Dark Archon. Now, I am no longer his opponent."

"Even you can't deal with him?" Augustus knew that there were few opponents in this world that Zeratul could not defeat.

(The red ball has a voice in the game: Orega is still alive, and we feel his anger.)
Even the protoss fear Orrega.

Aurega is the most powerful Dark Archon in history, and he is the fusion of seven Dark Templars instead of two.And Orega's dark taboo knowledge also makes him an immortal existence, invulnerable to any "physical" force, and possesses god-like power.

Juggernaut, Queen of Blades, and Orega are the most powerful individual creatures in the real universe, and Orega also has a record of fighting against a fleet alone.

In the original interstellar history, Orega was not Amon's running dog.But now, Augustus isn't so sure.

For now, Augustus's Tyrannian Empire does not have any conflicts with Aurega, but it is definitely a terrible enemy.

"I have never seen the power of Orega in a protoss, and his power is unmatched even among the dark consuls." Zeratul said sadly.

"The evil power of Aurega is itself a scourge, and the Protoss has seen the terrible effects of hatred upon our people." He warned Augustus, saying: "I have learned that men are serving him, and You must pay attention to this."

"If you are vigilant at night, you will not be blamed."

"I know that there are some pirates and mercenaries serving Orega. These people dare to earn the money of the God of Death. This is setting fire to themselves." Augustus nodded, indicating that he had written down this matter:
"This is not the place to talk. The people of Formica haven't seen the Protoss, but that doesn't mean they haven't heard your bad name."

He turned to Faraday and said, "Get a flying car, we'll talk on the way back to headquarters."

This is a densely populated settlement. Although it is not a busy commercial street, the appearance of a Protoss will definitely cause quite a commotion.For human beings, Protoss is still synonymous with mystery and fear, and they will not accept such aliens swaggering at their doorsteps with peace of mind.

At this time, no one has noticed Zeratul, but this is only a matter of time.

"I will be leaving soon," Zeratul said. "Augustus, I came to you for another matter."

"You don't even drink tea? Look, I really thought you came because you missed me." Augustus smiled, complaining that the old man didn't want to stay longer.

"Let's talk about friendship after finishing the task at hand." Zeratul said next time.

Zeratul never seems to be idle. He feels that he has a heavy burden on his shoulders, so he is strict with himself and dare not slack off, even if no one really understands him.

"I knew that you came all the way here not just to announce the good news." Augustus shrugged: "But as long as I can make a move, I won't refuse you."

It's not nice to say that old friend Zeratul has always been synonymous with trouble.Augustus originally thought that Zeratul was going to bring a prophecy related to the Voice of Darkness, but he obviously didn't have so much time to follow Xel'Naga's prophecy and go to Aiur to find the Lord's corpse.

Still, Augustus was delighted with Zeratul's arrival.

"Is it for the matriarch Razagal?" Augustus probably guessed Zeratul's purpose.

Augustus also learned from Lieutenant General William Wachowski's report a week ago that the Blade Prince Tosh who appeared in the Tyrador galaxy had kidnapped the Dark Templar matriarch and the current Razagal, Archbishop of the Protoss of Durham.

He wanted to use the power of the dark templar to fight against the cerebrates, but after arriving at Char, he was in vain.

No one knows how Tosh sneaked into Taimatros, the protoss capital of Sacoolas, and took the matriarch away, even though all the Shadow Guard rushed to destroy the zerg invading home.

"Yes." Zeratul said. "Tosh is in the realm of the Imperium of Man, and your fleet has been tracking him for a long time."

"I will call Lieutenant General Wachowski to help you." Augustus nodded and said, "However, Zeratul, even you cannot deal with Tosh and his swarm alone."

Most of the time, Zeratul was a lone ranger rather than the commander of a protoss army.

"Temporary Archbishop Tassadar appointed a huge fleet, and I was just one step ahead." Zeratul said: "Many Dark Templars who have never left Sacoolas also joined this fleet. The common hatred between them makes the Dharam Protoss united like never before."

Raszagal is the eldest of the Dark Templar, and she has commanded the Nerazim since their departure from Aiur.The Dark Templar sees himself as a child of Raszagal, and it is impossible to ignore it.

"I think I can provide some technical assistance. If I can capture the Prince of Blades alive, it will also be of great help to my research." Dr. Narud has always been cautious, but he still does not forget to please his own emperor.

"Very good." Augustus said Narud is very good to have you.

"My gratitude is beyond words," Zeratul said.

But it was time to talk, and a red flying car appeared just above the block.While the decor is unpretentious, the lithe sound of the engine says it's a rare car.

Augustus and Zeratul boarded the car together before drawing any further attention.Of course, Zeratul didn't ride in a car at all, he just disappeared before anyone could find him.

The accompanying personnel also squeezed up together, and Tychus packed the wheat away with one hand like a habitual human trafficking criminal.

"Where are you going to take me?" Mai Zao knew that these people were extraordinary, so he wanted to make some money, but he was a child after all, and now he was almost crying.

"Don't be nervous, you can read minds, can't you?" Tychus said calmly, "You should know that the gray-haired boy is the current boss of the Tyrann Empire. I heard that he is called the No. A citizen, what an irony."

"We are going to take you to the Ghost Academy, where there are peers with the same talent as you."

When the flying car took off, the red and gray spiers of Dennis City had a panoramic view.The war-torn city is returning to its former prosperity and vibrancy, with new architectural plans expanding many-fold.

As a colony with unique resources and geographical location, Formiga has always relied on the advantages of stable characteristic output and shipping stops to earn profits.Many planets invaded by zerg inevitably decline, but not Formica.

With the decree of Emperor Augustus establishing the 32nd Imperial Star Province, Agria Star Province, Formica became the gateway and port world between the province and the core world of the Empire.

There is a newly discovered Xel'Naga Portal in the neighboring galaxy of Formica, and the Tyranid Empire has obtained the opening technology of this technology from the protoss.Through this portal, the ship can reach Haijixing Province, another imperial world with a portal thousands of parsecs away, in an instant.

It also meant that Formica would be a vital Imperial world, allowing reinforcements to arrive quickly should the enemy invade again.Its greatest strengths, however, remain the value of shipping, communications, and the further integration of the empire's vast territories.

"How do I know if this emperor is a good man?" Mai's heart moved, but he still didn't believe Tychus' words.

Psykers are an outlier among humans, whose psychic potential and other gifts are the product of genetic mutations.Ordinary compatriots of psykers are more or less jealous or fearful of this gift, and only true ones can cherish each other.

"You're right, of course he can't be someone like me." Tychus chuckled.

"Augus doesn't even need to tease a child like you. He has to deal with the important affairs of the huge empire and thousands of trivial things every day, just to make the citizens of the empire like you live better." Kai Regan said.

"But I heard from my parents that every child who went to the Ghost Academy never came back." Thinking of this, Mai became even more sad.

"I only wish I had parents like you," Kerrigan repeated. "It's not the past, it's the age of the Empire, it's the age of Augustus Mengsk."

The flying car soon landed at the heavily guarded headquarters of the Imperial Marine Corps, where a group of imperial officers were waiting.

This is where Augustus usually handles the affairs of the empire, not the Governor’s Palace in Formica. As the emperor who seized power with the help of the rebel army, Augustus spent more time in military uniform than in fine clothes. much.This is not to emphasize the emperor's status as the supreme commander of the empire's armed forces, he is just used to it.

"Draft a new Formica local government order, and I will dictate your record." On the way to the headquarters, Augustus said to Kerrigan as he walked:

"Those Formigans who lost their houses and other fixed property during the Zerg invasion should receive corresponding financial subsidies, which should be considered as appropriations from the imperial treasury."

In general, this was the job of a Formica viceroy, but not always to the emperor's satisfaction.If it wasn't for his ability and reputation in the local area, Augustus should have appointed another one.

However, the governor of the empire does not have more rights than the governor of the federation, and he does not have to be born in a noble family and be hereditary. Augustus can replace one at any time.The emperor of the Tyrannian Empire only valued ability. For those talents who were not promoted because they were not of noble blood in the past, this is an era of glory.

When Augustus returned to the headquarters, Zeratul had been waiting for a long time.Zeratul politely did not move everything belonging to the owner of this place, and naturally he would not pry into military secrets.

There were several desks in the headquarters, which were filled with typed documents, all of which were urgent from Kehafa and had to be seen by the emperor.After all, most of the current government affairs of the empire are handled by Augustus' elder brother, Prince Arcturus, and only those he thinks he has no authority to handle will be sent over.

"Leading an empire is not easy even for you, my friend," said Zeratul.

"I've lost 12 pounds since taking the throne. Some people say I'm a dictator, but I have to say that even being a dictator is exhausting." Back here, Augustus is much more casual.

Originally, Augustus also planned to visit every planet in the Agria star province, participate in the inauguration ceremony of the Sarnaga portal (the official name of the empire is the Sarnaga star gate), and wait for an imperial colony Haven presides over the landing of settlers and such and such.

"Let's talk about the plan to rescue the matriarch. Tosh has been in my empire for too long, and it's time for him to learn a lesson."
